Magic, and we'll feel less bad when we accidentally go murderhobo among the neighbors.
But in particular, I'm also curious to see how the Blue Wizards will be characterized.

Some things got mentioned about how the Orcs at the Battle of the Five Armies responded to flag signals (from the Hobbit movies), and some stuff from Shadow of Mordor. Unless you can provide a reason why non-canon things like that would make for a better quest, they won't be included. I'm using Tolkiengateway for my wiki, it's pretty much pure canon with some things that are supposition.
Do dragon corpses make good crafting material?

Probably, but there's also the part where one good-sized dragon can destroy an entire incredibly rich and strong Dwarvern fortress/nation along with a large and wealthy human city/town/thing on it's own.
Yeah though I feel those dragons are the rare ones. Smaug from what I know was the last one of that size.

Both true. (Non-cannon but cool enough to use) Gandalph's elven ring of fire (one of the three elven rings) is made with the heart of a fire dragon. I figure that if dragon hide can resist all attacks, and it's compared to mithril, then it's tough enough to use, and would have elemental resistance.
Not true. Most drakes, both fire and ice, live up north, in the Grey Mountains that once bordered the fortress of Morgoth.
So there's more great drakes besides Smaug?

There are. According to Gandalf Smaug was the greatest, but he hasn't been up north, so he's not exactly an informed witness. However, they repopulated themselves in the wastelands to the north. Remember that there are two major distinctions, fire and ice. All the current ones would probably be called drakes rather than actual dragons, since the living ones don't seem to have the extra magic-casting ability that the first and most powerful of the dragons had.

There are only a handful of dragons that are ever recorded as having been killed. Smaug was shot through a missing scale in his chest (due to his own indolence), another was stabbed in the chest with an elven blade, a third was stabbed in the mouth by a dwarf, and a fourth was stabbed in the foot and then forgotten about. So enchanted blades and aiming for the underbelly would be the best bet, attacking by surprise would be smart. It might also be possible to use underhanded means, such as feeding it something lethal or poison gas attack, but the character would have to figure out a way to make that operable on his own.

You are Tymin son of Forren of the clan Blacklocks, a Dwarf. Your clan has lived in the south of the Red Mountains, called Orocarni, since the First Age. Born in the year 2860 of the Third Age, much of your early life is spent being taught Khuzdul, the secret language of your ancestors, and Iglishmêk, the gesture language. These are considered too important to allow to change, so they are not spoken to outsiders, and children are forced to master them early and perfectly.
Only a third of Dwarves are born female, and not all She-Dwarves choose to marry. Your father, Forren, distinguished himself due to his
[ ] Martial prowess
[ ] Knowledge of Runes and lore
[ ] Skill as a miner and craftsman
Dwarven parents are devoted to their children, wanting them to grow up to be strong. Who are you closest to?
[ ] Your father, Forren, is a reasonably respected, yet unimportant Dwarf of the Blacklocks clan. He's traveled to nearby Avari and Variag settlements nearby to trade with them. He knows how to fight and craft, as well as has knowledge of lore, though is only notable in one of these areas.
[ ] Your mother, Genl, has rarely been beyond the halls of the clan, yet her position as a She-Dwarf means that she is skilled at keeping things livable in even the worst conditions, and the fact that female Dwarves are kept secret from outsiders means that she is better than most in the arts of concealment and deceit.
You love to listen to the tales of far off lands and deeds long past. Of the mountain halls of Khazad Dum, Erebor, Gundabad, and Dain's Halls. All ancient citadels of your race, all lost to Dragons and Orcs. You especially enjoy hearing about
[ ] Wizards, Elves and the fight against the forces of Darkness
[ ] The Forces of Darkness, Melkor and his creations
[ ] Heroic Dwarven warriors like Durin and Azaghal
[ ] Magic, doesn't matter what form it takes or where it comes from
[ ] Great treasures and artifacts like the great weapons of the elven lords, and the hordes of the Dragons
[ ] Bloodshed, goodguys or bad, gets the blood pumping
