Try using several lower resistance spells on the dragon! There is NO save but you will need more than one to have an impact. Disintegrate will ONLY work if you can get past the dragon's magic resistance AND you get VERY lucky on a fortitude save! Cast Malison (no saving throw but resistance can still neagte its effects) after the lower resistance spells hit. Follow that with Bane and Doom. Those spells will SUBSTANTIALLY lower the dragons magic protections and at least give your spells a CHANCE to hit him and do some damage.

Summon MULTIPLE monsters.

Beef up your characters with elemental resistance and/or protection from acid to reduce the damage that the dragons breath weapon does. Cover the front line fighters with stoneskin and bulls strength; and cast protection from evil, bless, prayer, and hope on the entire party. After the monsters are summoned cast HASTE - mass haste if you have it. Cast mirror image on your mage, and iron skin on your cleric and barkskin on your druid. If you have enough barkskins to go around, try using them on the front line fighters as well.

NOW summon the dragon. Be aware that the dragon will target the person who summoned him first so try to get the summoned monsters in his way.

Have your cleric in the back ready with healing spells. [img]smile.gif[/img]

The dragon was NOT that tough. [img]smile.gif[/img]
