Am I a pantser?

I'm having a hard time sticking to the snowflake method.  Originally, it was very helpful.  Now I'm kindof bored.  I'm going to jump into writing and see how it goes.  If I get stuck, I'll go back to the snowflake method.

There are two extremes of writing, from what I understand.  One is the pantser who just writes whatever comes to her as she goes along-by the seat of her pants.  This type of author has no set idea and fumbles around until the story writes itself.  The other extreme is the ultra outliner who has everything set in stone before she starts writing.  I think I'm somewhere in between.  I like having an outline and an idea of what's going to happen, but I want some creative freedom.  Anyhow, we'll see how it goes.

The Story

Once, the Imaskari were a great nation. In Deep Imaskar in the Underdark, the Imaskari are growing more and more resentful of the High Imaskari above the surface. They want to reestablish their old empire. To accomplish this, they have made a deal with the evil red dragons. In exchange for the destruction of their foes, the metallic dragons, the red dragons will help wreak havoc on those inhabiting the ancient lands of the Imaskari.
