Hi Ishen. I don't have a recording of the drake but I can give you some advice. The drake is big, tough, hard to damage, however he has one weakness. There is only one of him. My usual stratogy is to focus not on killing the drake with big attacks, but on stopping him killing me while I chip away at his health. So scrolls like sleep, weaken and slow, abilities like hide, Shrinking the drake and then knocking him over meaning he'll need to spend a turn standing, the mending and battle songs of the bard can all come in handy. Usually I have one character attacking the drake, say an assassin, a monk or a necro, one character handing out healing potions, and one character either using scrolls or acting a secondary attacker. It's hard to suggest without knowing your party, but basically focus on making your party strong and what abilities complement each other, for example, using the assassin's crytical hits and sneak attack, or the monk's iron skin, multiple attacks and unarmed. Dont' just try to go for big damage, but think in terms of tactics, try to make the drake lose and keep your own party going. Once, in an early version of entombed (and one where Jason rather over powered the drake), I defeated him by having a mage shrink the drake, grow my ogre brawler, then having the brawler continually use tackle on the drake keeping him on the ground. On another occasion, I got my wolf killed earlier on, then had my druid cast lightning thus leading to a zombie wolf on my side, who then bit the drake and rotted him to death (that was hilarious). Use everything and anything you have, scrolls, magic potions, weapons with interesting affects, and think carefully. If you just keep hitting attack attack, your bound to lose, it takes stratogy to kill the Drake. If worst comes to absolute worst, you can hear where the drake is, so go down the dungeon a few levels and then come back and deal with him with a stronger party. I've heard this is how some people deal with him, though I've never done that myself as to me dealing with the drake on level 8 where you find him is all part of the challenge of the game. Hth.
