Kinda tired of the gigantic creature of death

So. About that monster.

What's the plan?

How about 'kill it'?

Mmm, nope.

You'll have to forgive my ignorance, being only recently abducted to your fair city, but what kind of monster problem?

See, the name is Harry Dresden, and dealing with monsters was a rather large part of my job back home. I might be able to help.

Ah, that one. Yeah, that's pretty big.

Good to meet you Rosette, always nice to meet a fellow professional. What do you say we tag team the big ugly?

Well, the bigger they are...

Hmm...what are its abilities, known weaknesses, and our own strengths? If we can find a weak point we can use it's own size against it by directing ranged attacks from a number of different directions, keeping it from focusing on any one attacker. We could also try and lure it to one of the edges of the domes, where it's maneuverability would be further limited.

I might be able to be of some assistance on this. It seems it mainly attacks with lightning, though the man within is able to cast some debilitating magic able to block spellcasting. Really, what we need is to find a way to get inside it to get to the man within. Once he is defeated, it becomes a matter of sending him. Or, that's the general idea.

Hm... that does seem a good idea. It is... a dangerous idea, but if one was able to capture one of its spawn, it would likely follow, if that helps?

They didn't strike me as the easiest things in the world to capture...

If these things are its spawn, we may not need to capture it. If we can kill one, I can use the link between the spawn and the big one to create a sort of magical lure, to simulate one of these things in distress. I could even use the connection to possibly distract the creature itself.

There's no guarantee, but it is an option to consider.

...Well, I suppose it wouldn't be the first time I've had to rely on maybes.
