Encounter #7: The Dragon Hunter

What are humans if not juicy? This young dragon is a hunter, and you’re the prey. Fortunately, they’re young and inexperienced.

This dragon is young and aware that they may not be a match for armed humans. They’re likely to attack from ambush, waiting for prey to walk alone or be distracted. They may use their Dragonsight to look for weaknesses.

  • Fire breath: 20 hp (+d6 if wearing metal armour).
  • Bite attack: d6 hp.
  • Claw attack: d4 hp.
  • Tail lash attack: d2 hp.

  • Weak spot. All dragons have a weak spot, typically on the underside, where they take triple damage from missile and melee attacks.
  • Collector. Dragons have a strong urge to hoard — typically gold and jewels, but also knowledge, books and scrolls, or, in rare cases, invaluable items of a particular type. Dragons spend a large portion of their lives trying to increase their hoards.
  • Dragonsight. All dragons have the spell as an Innate power (spell description on creature sheet).
  • Fire breath. The dragon may exhale fire in a cone up to its Physique x 4 metres’ length, doing its Physique x 2 points of health damage per Action. Affected flammables ignite and burn, possibly doing further damage. Metal armour causes victims to take an additional d6 points of damage from the heat.
  • Scaly skin. The dragon’s skin is covered in powerful scales, lowering its base Defense by 20.
  • Vain. The dragon takes its appearance very seriously, and spends much time grooming itself. It may be susceptible to flattery.
