Well, I don’t think my players are here but I’ll put it in spoiler tags anyway. Those playing in a world called Yphilios, don’t expand this.
Frostfang's equipment
The dragon they will have to fight, Frostfang, is an adult white dragon. But he is not your typical “huge polar bear with wings” white dragon. Frostfang found a nice little golden ring on the head of a wizard he ate that fits his claw pretty well, and this ring (Headband of Intellect) made him a lot smarter and enabled him to learn the spells from the wizard’s books (and other books that other dead wizards left behind).
In addition to the ring and the spells, he has been learning blacksmithing from an artificer he has kept captive for this purpose, and wears a breastplate made from the breastplates of all the paladins who tried to kill him. It is a Breastplate of Radiant Resistance. (There are three paladins in the party, sue me.)
He also has a Dagger of Warning. Partially because of the Warning property, and partially because this way he can cast Steel Wind Strike. Because I’m evil.
Maybe I’ll also give him a piecemaker. Lair actions are one thing, but a six-foot metal bolt flying at you at mach 3 is another.
Not a global reputation yet because he is fairly young (he is growing much faster than the average dragon due to the great nutrition he receives, namely a steady stream of adventurers from the nearby city) but he has been the bane of a small country (~the size of Luxemburg) for the last few months, and killing him is getting urgent because it’s already spring but the fields are still frozen solid due to his influence on the local climate.
Though a famed dragonologist did notice that his behavior changed considerably; instead of randomly raiding villages he started targeting Skyfleet installations up north, pushing the city’s Skyfleet back and getting them away from his mountain.

Sexy stuff! That’s definitely the way it’s meant to be done, I love him. Does he have a reputation, in-world?

A “piecemaker” you say? Hmm.
