Both.

During combat, LightRaiders always attack first, their opponents second.

But, LightRaiders cannot attack a dragon until the dragon has started the
fight. Additionally, dragons always start with Mind Speech, but this
does not allow the LightRaiders to attack. The dragon has to attack
physically before the LightRaiders may attack with physical weapons.

A lot of times, I have the dragon run through all of its Mind Speech
before attacking physically so that the LightRaiders have to refute the
Mind Speech. No sense writing all of that stuff if you don't use it 😉
