DF Anecdote

[David Johansen]

Well, they went for a rematch last night. They were approaching down the corridor with caution but the dragon spotted them and gave a deep Jabba the Hutt chuckle. Then he picked up a single coin and flicked it out into the hallway. The Draug rose from his resting place and lurched into the corridor. The Insect Man Warrior chose to evaluate and the Draug stepped in swinging, managing to drop the warrior with a single blow and a bad dodge roll. The Cat Folk Scout tried stabbing at the Draug's face while the Human Cleric repeatedly failled to heal the Warrior. Eventually the Warrior did get back in the fight and attacked the Draug's ankles. It went after the cleric but failed to get through his shield. By then the Warrior got to his feet and managed to strike the Draug's head off with a single blow to the neck (well and it was fully negative hp by then). It kept fighting, albiet awkwardly because its head was lying on the floor so the scout scooped it up but the Draug tackled her. So the head was desperately lobbed down the corridor. "I haven't been down this way in years," it hissed. The Warrior then drove his blade deep into the neck socket of its armour and the whole thing fell apart.

The Dragon had moved to the entrance of the treasure chamber and blew fire from its nostrils. After a futile offer to take payment for services rendered the dragon blew fire down the corridor at them but they managed to flee and escape the deadly blast.

So yes, they could take the Draug, though that lucky neck swing for maximum damage by the warrior really finished things up. Also, things bogged down pretty hard when I needed the posture table and couldn't find it. It's at the back of the book with the charts just like Basic Set Campaigns if you ever need to know.
