I should have mentioned that. Your spell — Stinking Cloud — does poison damage, and as a green, Zekleinenezzar has resistance 15 versus poison. And the suicidal runs were also important, you're right. I waited too long to write this one up, and so I forgot many of the details. That’s right. I should have mentioned that.

Also, we did take at least one other defensive action before the large attack. We sealed up the "control room" to prevent a possible strategic attack on it. I think there may have been another, but can't quite recall. I think you've also missed a very important part of the assault--the suicidal runs by kobolds against the front gate. Although it had very little gameplay impact since it was handled by the NPC guards, it does provide good characterization of the situation we were facing and the fanaticism (or perhaps fear) the dragon inspired in his followers.
