Well, I just got myself into an interesting situation. I got myself husked for the first time, early on in my adventuring as well, and I thought - hey, cool! I can make use of this to go straight for that dragon I found out about, rather than slowly working my way up through the quest chains.
There's one slight problem: I was still covered in blighted ash. So, when I started to fight the dragon, it wasn't long before it, too, became a husk. Now, this WAS a great way to train myself up. A little TOO good, perhaps. The dragon husk will not die. I'm now at legendary +14 swordsman, legendary +2 wrestling, master striker, decent biter/kicker/misc. object user, and legendary +31 fighter. Almost ALL of that from the dragon, too. The dragon lost its feet, then its tail, then its legs, its GUTS, its teeth, basically everything but its head, upper body, and lower body. But that last bit of butchery? Not happening.
I've heard that husks CAN be killed by severing the lower body, right? Any idea if that's possible to accomplish on a dragon in vanilla? I'm currently using an iron scimitar, but I'm thinking that a masterpiece candy battleaxe, or a good-quality iron two-handed sword or greataxe, would be a bit more effective. At the very least, I might be able to get that head off, which I kind of want to do.
And other than just killing the thing or using it as a training dummy for future adventurers, any ideas as to what I should do with it? One obvious idea that comes to mind is to start a fortress on the site and try to turn it into a dragonfire-spewing trap of some sort.
