"Thank you, ever so kindly." He tapped his sword in a salute to her, before he looks at the others with a nod. "All right, we'll go for the rear leg. To allow Metaari the advantage to set up his mines, I will distract her by attacking the dragon directly. I can take more direct hits at the rest of you."

He gestured with his sword, "Metaari and Ratchette can move to the rear - Metaari to set up his explosions and Ratchette to get into place. Once the mines are set, Metaari can retreat, and both Ratchette and I will shift to the back leg and begin our attack." He paused, before he looked over at them. "I have fire resistance potions, if anyone wants some insurance."

He looked over all of them, stopping on Metaari and Vivienne. "If there are young ones - you two will be the only ones who will be able to spot them. Please, call out a warning so we are not overrun."
