* '''Deconstructed''': The heroes live [[CrapsackWorld in a place]] where using some poor beast as a cover for an escape is common and so have rigged a balista with trusted friends or mercenaries to kill the dragon when it inevitably shows up. The revelations shock them to the core but the dragon dies with barely a whimper due to proper planning.
* '''Reconstructed''': General Jade knows about the ballista and sends a DualBoss dragon to attack that team before they can fire it.

[[TheDragon General Drake]] was just using them as his personal MacGuffinDeliveryService!
