[@Dawnscroll]I've never considered a dragon that scary. When you have 400 years to work your way up to fighting dragons its not a stretch to say hes slain his fair share.

Its always been his lore to assassinate kings. Catch them while traveling through a forest start by picking off guards, turn the horses against their riders, finally shoot king. He doesn't always kill sometimes just injure them to send a message. But this is what he does.

Ive tried to make it clear that his magic is slow and only powerful when he has a lot of time. Otherwise hell likely kill himself if he tries to rush spells.

Also a note on dragon hunting. He goes after single dragons when everything is in his favor he's not fighting 3 at once much less 6. Hes stalking prey building a plan and working like any sane predator would.

Edit: also when i say dragon im thinking big dangerous lizard with fire. Not sentient ancient magical lizard.
