They literally can't. Which is why in my superior homebrew setting. Dragons are extinct. And kobolds are an autistic race that believe themselves to be the next dragon.

Well, step 1 is to get it onto the ground, for which you'll need to go after its wings. Depending on how fast or slow it is, youll either need a fuckload of arrows, or potentially just barbed javelin that will lodge in its wing, weigh it down, and cause more pain.

Armor wise, you probably want to go relatively light, with a breastplate and a helmet. You're going to be fighting this thing for a while and possibly at a moment's notice, so you don't want to be weighed down by something it might just bite through anyway. The better defense would be larged sloped shields designed to reduce hear and better deflect any swooping attacks it tries.

Weaponry wise, I feel you'd want warhammers in order to break open weak points in the scales, and then spears to embed in those points, as barbed as possible so you can deal a bunch of damage by pulling them out.

Catching the thing in a trap or while it's in a cave would also be ideal.

Flight is the biggest worry, and from there you have to worry about a t-rex with plate armor and a flamethrower.

With a jet fighter.

>>54222465
Cannon and chain shot is the first thing that comes to mind in terms of bringing it out of the sky, but failing that, a well-baited trap, some steel netting, and an ambush might be a good start.

>>54222119
With the help of God, of fucking course. That's the whole point of dragons.

>>54222119
The first step is to rescue your father from the underworld.

>>54222119
Depends on the mass of the dragon, but you could probably administer a lethal dosage of some poisons or venoms,provided you could break the skin at all. Some kind of injector-spear?

>>54222607

The cannons might work, though you'd need a lot of howitzer type weapons firing in concert to cover a wide area of sky. Even then I think it's dicey, and if the dragon really felt threatened it could just fly away. The cannons can't easily give chase, even if they're horse artillery. Worse, if the dragon is smart it'll learn from the experience, and next time attack the cannons before they can set up. Dragonfire and gunpowder barrels probably don't mix too well.

>>54222943

A ballista fired from ambush maybe.

>Nothing can kill dragons
>Dragons somehow went extinct
Anon, I wouldn't suck your own dick just yet...

First of all obviously no point in armour or shields (that's why the japanese didn't just start equipping their soldiers w/boilerplates in bunkers), for the actual killing of the dragons cannons are the only thing i can think of that will go through stone, maybe sledgehammers
Depending on how smart it is it might be easier just to leave poisoned bait around

Roughly speaking

>>54222119
Traps and siege weapons. Killing a dragon is largely a matter of baiting it into cannon fire or dropping a mountainside on it.

I do prefer dragons that break though, so it's a subject for fables but someone mundane could feasibly kill a dragon alone. Bait one for days as you slowly bleed it, draw out a fight and drive something into the throat, that kind of stuff.

>>54222119
Bard in LOTR kills Smaug by hitting his weak spot with a simple bow and arrow. No magic or anything involved.

There, naturally died.

Can you think of a better way to naturally kill a giant dragon?

Though if memory serves that bow was legendary weapon, on tier with The Sting.

From thousand names to choose or create, Tolkien chose Bard.

He was a cheeky cunt, that's what he was m8.

>>54223640
Actually it was his arrow, Black Arrow.

“Arrow! Black arrow! I have saved you to the last. You have never failed me and I have always recovered you. I had you from my father and he from of old. If ever you came from the forges of the true king under the Mountain, go now and speed well!”

With siege weaponry. Even ancient Greeks had siege weaponry.

Does alchemy exist, or are we going full-mundane?

>>54223704
God it pissed me off so much they turned the Black Arrow into a siege weapon in that God awful movie

And made Bard some kinda social outcast/underground rebel against the mayor

...Is this describing a Dragon getting it's penis cut off during a gay blowjob?

>>54222119
In one of my settings they mostly do this via canons. A shit ton of canons. Most of the time nations will bring mages and masters of magical based martial arts along with ancient anti-magic amulets.

But if you for some reason can't get that then dropping a shit ton of canons can work in a pinch. Nets with barbs and A lot of men could take down an average dragon with numbers.

It's not gay, they just couldn't find the dragon and decided to dress up and hide among sacrifices to get easier access to kill the dragon after they got taken.

>>54222119
Like everyone else kind of stated, siege equipment and poison is probably the only sure fire way of doing such a thing with no magic bullshit whatsoever.

>>54222119
>How would a group of knights (with no magical capabilities or enchanted equipment) actually go about killing a dragon?
Well, according to St. George using a group is a bad idea. Everybody just gets in each others way. You take one guy, with chain and limited plate, and you track that bitch back to it's lair. If it's sleeping out in the open you wait until it falls asleep and if it's in a cave you bait that sum'bitch. Either way at the first available opportunity you jab a spear in the motherfuckers neck to fuck up the air/fuel mix. Apparently that shits tricky. Then you close in with a sword or keep using the spear to cut a wing and a leg. You keep circling it and poking it and letting it bleed untill it either runs or falls or you get the chance to pin it with something and bash it's fucking head in. Please remember actual broadswords were as much crushing weapons as cutting tools. Leave that 'so sharp it can cut one cherry blossom before shattering into a bunch of folded two thousand times pieces' shit to the fedora crowd.

But saint George is usually portrayed stabbing the dragon with a lance, and it's a little faggy dragon too

Batteries of ballistae, pavise shields and 2-man pikes.
Then they die en masse.

>>54223561
How the fuck did Fram kill a dragon?
Throwing spears?

>>54228994
Contemporary dragons tended to be portrayed as pretty big in the legends and folklore.
It was just the monks, and later commissioned artists, being faggots that lead to manlet dragons.
