    I can’t imagine surviving 55 rounds of combat against a dragon. Are people thinking this is a video game or something where you can just simply not take damage from a dragon if you’re skilled enough or something?

      You might be able to find some cheese strat. One good trick is to use a Phantom Steed to constantly outrange your opponent. But Vicious Mockery doesn’t have enough range to make that effective.

      I’m sure someone can figure out a method, but Vicious Mockery isn’t going to be the interesting part.

        That’s still applying video game logic though. Dragons are smart. They wouldn’t just endlessly pursue you if they’re taking chip damage. They’d fly away. They’d fly towards cities and destroy them to make you stop. The idea one would have contingencies in place isn’t unheard of either, they’re like evil geniuses.
