If nothing has come of mine and Thrash's attempt at diplomacy, I will go around the gardens setting up traps for the Dragon, hidden among the trees and statues. For the most part, I will be using plant matter gathered from the arboretum. I do not cause destruction to the place, instead trimming branches that needed trimming in any case, collecting dead wood, etc. though I am sure to use plenty of living plant matter in the traps, sharpened to deadly points and arranged in the perfect trajectory to be as incapacitating and as unavoidable as possible.
A few of my traps are designed specifically to take out the dragon's wings, either by puncturing them or by clipping them.
I also load a few statues with simple tripwires that will spread icy marbles carved from the Frozen Ocean in a strategic pattern across the field when the dragon passes through.
When it comes time for the actual battle, I will use my Knowledge and stealth to supplement others' tactics. Having explored the gardens extensively, I will make use of quick shortcuts and safe hiding places, and make these available for the others. I also provide everyone with plenty of Frost and water to mask their scents.
Running alongside Volatilus, I discuss with him the best routes to arrive at the dragon in a quick manner while still giving us the upper hand, and then I slip away through a different path to cut off the dragon on a different side.
