Well I killed the thing on my 8th try and the actual battle took an hour and 27 minutes. I just could not do any decent damage to the dragon, plus half my party is distracted trying to handle summons and keep the goddess alive. NOTHING worked on that dragon. I gave up trying to cast anything on it as it always saved. ALWAYS. I ended up just trying to whack it with my two melee characters while the healer and archer handled damage control and protected the goddess. By the time it was all over with it was a very NON-fun battle.

To make matters worse, my two PC's didn't stay together after it was over (and I thought I did everything to make that work...)
