Hi, Possible spoilers ahead, so read at your own risk. s p o i l e r s p a c e
Most magic does not work on the drake. There are a couple that work really well. They are shrink, curse, and web. I think that slow also works on the drake. There are a couple others, but cannot remember exactly right off. Sure someone else will elaborate. The shrink is special in that the drake takes more damage, and dishes out less when shrunk. The shrink spell can be cast by mages, and found on certain scrolls. But it only lasts a short time, depending on the level of the spell. Or, make any of your party grow. Especially the fighters. They will do quite a bit of damage when all grown up. Curse is good in that the drake will receive maximum damage, while always dishing out minimum damage. This spell lasts for the entire length of the battle. The curse spell can only be cast from a scroll. The web can only be cast by a scroll. Unless you have a spider skeleton handy. it will make the drake immobile, and unable to move. This too is a limited time effect. Also, anything that strengthens your party is good. Enlighten, grow and haste come to mind. Ice blast also seems to do more damage than fire bolt. Don't waste flurry on the drake. Your fighter will then stand around too much afterwards. Target the head. You might hit the neck also. This is the most vulnerable spot on the drake. The only problem is that you have a slightly higher probability of missing. But if your fighter connects, it will definitely do some damage. Save before battling the drake. If all fails, restart the game and try again. Or, if possible, go past the drake and come back later when you have more hp per character, or more powerful and appropriate scrolls.

I can't get passed him no matter how many times I try. Basically, here is what I have to work with. Cassandra --- A human female fighter/necromancer equipt with a long sword and the best armour I could find for her. Alair --- a half-elf mail healer/Druid. He is armed with a blackwood staff and light armour/cloathing. Dara --- a female half-elf fighter/ranger with bronze armour, legendary long swords, duel wield at 5, flurry 5, and basically you don't want to mess with her because your likely to loose a head, arm, and basically get chopped up in the process. Lupercus -- My wolf companion. Undead skeleton orc fighter/mage. He is under Cassandra's control and was raised from the dead to help out in the battle. Summoned Animal --- any bat, wolf, or rat I can summon to the battle ground to fight the Drake. As you can see I've got what I thought was a good party. I can really kick the crap out of the Drake, but not enough to actually slay the dragon. When he hits me with a fire attack everyone takes heavy damage and most of my party members usually wind up dead with several limbs missing. In the last major fight Casssandra lost a leg, arm, and ended up dying after the Drake bit her head off, and then spit it out on the floor. Its like impossible to take him down without being malled or roasted to death.
