The Chasm Drake is in the middle of this fairly tough dungeon. As it has already defeated at least one group of adventurers, it is probably a good idea to circle the cave first to kill of all the monsters that could come to its aid when you get into the big fight.
I start of by going west where there are some rather tough mutant lizards, drakes, ur-basilisks and crocolisks. It is much the same story throughout this dungeon. In the middle of the north end is a cavern with a vengeful shade guarding a corpse with a few valuable items.
In the SE corner are Iela Second-Circle, Daniel Third-Circle and three Blademasters. While you are removing the opposition around the perimeter, it is important not to get too near the centre of the cave. If one of the creatures in the middle sees you, you should try to lure it out and fight it with ranged attacks.
The Chasm Drake is in the middle together with other drakes, cyro drakes, ur-basilisks etc. When you have finally killed all of them, you can pick up the drake's treasure: lots of gold, a Steel Breastplate, a Gold Necklace and Spite (a rather potent spear, value 4000). Do not forget to look around the rest of the cave for loot. There are two nests and a bit of loot lying around. Near the entrance are some corpses which are carrying a few poor quality items.
You can now tell Sabrina in Blosk that you have killed the Chasm Drake.
