    They're dwarves: counter-mine and drop a mountain on it. At worst they imprison it and carefully mine the fold out from under it. :)

    Don't have sources to hand, but IIRC the original plan was to burgle the Arkenstone and use it to rally the Dwarven nations, or if the dragon had gone/died then even better.

  • @OrangeDog I've seen lots of unsubstantiated claims that the Dwarves believed the Dragon may have died but failed to find anything in the source materials. Do you know where you may have read that so I could take a look?

  • @Edlothiad no sorry, it may even have been a quote from a letter on this site somewhere.
