When would we like to go?

(OOC: I hope this hasn't been made more difficult since our last trip there. My plan is to be up close and personal with Zippy.)

OOC:
Would anyone like to discuss tactics here?
I am a brick-type melee warrior for this battle, specifically ninja dog swords/parry. My shield is "reactive paralyze." I do very little damage; 8 harm + 15 weapon; but on the other hand I can take a hit.

o It seems that a greater dragon is going to die each and every time Zippy uses his mana conversion attack.
o Zippy has "pull" but he does not use it all the time. A mage can get off a "Kal Vas Flam" without immediately getting pulled and killed.
o Got mana? Don't get up close and personal. Switch mastery from one that has "Intuition" to something else. Don't wear a Tangle. I would say "Don't be an elf" but the Darkwood suit is still worth wearing here. Do use a Vampiric Essence sword. Do not use a Soul Seeker which has hit mana leech.
o Use up your mana.
o Zippy has "disarm" and the weapon masteries don't protect against that any more. Step away and bandage when disarmed.
o Having more than one brick-type melee warriors might help.
o Zippy seems to have a "hit three times in rapid succession" which will do 96 damage. Run and bandage.
o This is a "don't be a tamer" battle.

I'd like to hear from the mystics about how effective the rising colossus was.
