I am running a SJ campaign in a realm based on the "Beyond the Spider Moon" article. I have added a couple of planet to it but it is otherwise unchanged. One possible solution the PCs will have to the overall problem I am giving them will be to negotiate with a very old blue dragon for assistance. My problem is where should the dragon's lair be? The only thing that really makes sense to me is for it to be on the ice planet I added to the campaign. The problem with that is the planet gets destroyed when the big event starts which would either kill the dragon or spur him into action with no PC interaction. Any ideas?

Lets see, off hand I'd say: A large comet Ice rings around a planet A really high mountain/glacier on the dwarf planet The dark side of a moon In a cave complex on a Europa-style moon/planet

Not unless your PCs are really stupid! It's not a fight they could win, so it's not one they should start. The Dragon probably wouldn't either - it's smart enough to work out the PCs are not powerful enought to destroy his home. It probably considers them petty looters (which is what they could've been up to, but don't tell the Dragon!). The Dragon is also smart enough to realise that these adventurers can be put to good use - bribed or scared into helping the dragon find out what just nuked it's home. They can get about the universe a lot easier than a Dragon. Tah Dah! PCs and Dragon all mixed up. Nightdruid covered all the obvious lairs. Peace, tfad
