DM, I need to shop for something that may not exist. I want Greek Fire. Alchemists Fire on Steroids basically. The ignition upon contact with the air is optional.
What specific resistances could Odric buy in order to not die vs. black dragons?
Yup. Tinfoil hat and a light coating of oil should do the trick.
Gaius: Alchemist's fire is the most potent thing you can get your hands on that isn't a magic item. Rumor has it in far off Numeria there are inventions that do what you want, but they are jealously guarded secrets, and aren't available here.

How about a Ballista? I'm asking for a friend.
That you could likely get your hands on.... With some sweet skill checks.
I just need travel rolls for the warehouse type you're looking for.
Grym is all over it.
Grym Stealth
Bucho Stealth
Luckily even in his sleep, Grym is still fairly stealthy
Grym is there. And the rest?
Grym is there. And the rest?
I should be there as well.
Grym, Gaius, and Ferox are all there.
Sandor, Odric, and Morkeleb remain.
I will burn the last 2 charges from invisibilty wand, one for me and one for Sandor. (I've prepped the spell, as well)
If Ferox would let me borrow his hat of disguise again, I would like to show up.
Not sure of the mods off the top of my head.
Odric disguises himself (alter self) as a Halfling and sneaks along too. <-great...
Wait, wouldn't it be a Bluff check? With a greater hat of disguise bonus?
If we are to fight a black dragon, we need some form of protection from its acid breath. I don't have any such spells in my books.
can any of the clerical types cover acid protection/resistance??
Sneaking is stealth. Too late, roll sticks. ;-)

I have myself covered. I don't know if Ferox knows the spell.
Purchasing scrolls is probably a good move.
Ferox can cast Protection from Energy, Communal, but does not have the spell in his repertoire. A scroll would be good. Divided evenly amongst us 6 ways, excluding Gauis, would cover us for 20 minutes roughly, sucking up 120 hps of acid damage each.
Well, then the crappy roll for sneaky sneaky, but the nice roll to bluff my way out of it :)
I have slots to prepare one more, though.
Grym has protection for energy
Grym has protection for energy
Grym can cast it twice for himself and Bucho if that will be helpful.
The party finds, what you think is, the perfect spot. There's a large indoor market that hasn't opened in a week due to Trifeccia's "help" The fruit and vegetables have a strong odor from rot, but it's got a solid wooden roof and plenty of places to hide.
Is that a yes or no on the scroll?
Oh, they're available. I thought you were waiting for someone to contact the black market.
Anyone want some alchemist fire? Ferox is going to greater magic weapon the whole bag before we play the music here.
OK, scroll purchased from party funds. Morkeleb, make it so.
Ferox will cast it 20 minutes before the appointed meet-up time.
Ferox, Odric, Morkeleb, Sandor, Bucho, and Grym all have 120 pts of acid protection for 20 minutes.
Ferox will also cast GMW on Gaius's bag of alchemist's fire and his own bow.
Ferox is hiding in a tree.
Ferox is ready and placed.
Sandor, Morkeleb, Grym & Bucho, Odric, and Gaius remain.
I've advanced the date 1 day.
Ooc- And put me in the same area please. I'm no good ranged, an maybe if it goes south I can use intimidate to keep us on track as a last ditch effort.
Ferox, Sandor, Gaius, and Odric are ready and placed.
Morkeleb, Grym & Bucho remain.
Since Ferox is taking a sniper position, I'll lounge by the well and act as bait.
(This was posted in Discussion. My mistake.)
Odric is poised for lounging.
"I'll follow your lead, Rogue" Odric rumbles sotto voce. "What do you want to accomplish?"
After nodding at Gaius' response, Odric prompts, "if you want me to bring steel to the discussion, simply throw something to the ground. If you want me to bring the threat of steel, run a hand through your hair, and I'll try to sway Sabine to your argument through intimidation."
Morkeleb and Grym remain...
Sabine approaches heroes.

I don't know. I'm making this up as I go. Look sharp.
OK thx

If it helps Grym can cast the spell for himself and Bucho. Should last a bit longer for everyone that way.
Grym and Bucho are placed on the map. They are stealthing it up at the moment. I'm assuming they will come out ambush style if needed. Or if Gaius asks them to step out in a polite manner they will do so as well.
Stealth
bucho's stealth
Grym casts Protection from Acid on himself and Bucho. He also casts LongStrider on Bucho (to give him a little more zip to help get into flanking position, or go guard/rescue Mork)
The ranger also uses his Mighty Keen Scabbard for both his blades.
Only Morkeleb remains...
With a glance at Grym that is asking his permission, Morkeleb takes position next to Bucho, laying a familiar and affectionate hand on the faithful hound's head, and awaiting Sabine's arrival.
When Bucho's manner tenses at the approach, the wizard prudently removes his hand...
Bucho growls the moment before the doors to the Green Market open*.
In strides a black dragon of awful power. His presence is made all the more discomforting because there appear to be 6 of him moving and passing through themselves. Upon him sits the scarred yet beautiful dominatrix of the Grey Maidens, Sabina. The woman's skin doesn't seem natural. Rings and bark make her look like a plant.
The dragon walks forward with a domineering and regal gait. As he walks in he turns his head and points out every last member of the Upturned Cup to his rider. The dragon's voice sizzles like meat on a fire, and grinds like rocks in an avalanche.
"Pitiful. You cannot hide from Zarmangarof! I could melt your flesh with a single breath were I to wish it."
Sabine rebukes the dragon's threat with a pull on the reins. "This cannot end in peace. For my queen, I must end you all."
Take note that this scene is occurring in the Green Market, it matters for Carnage on the Mountain.
Ferox: Go
Morkeleb: Go
Sabina and Zarmangarof: TBD
Sandor: TBD
Grym: TBD
Odric: TBD
Gaius: TBD
Sabina: 0 (Barkskin until Round 3)
Zarmangarof: 0, 6 images remain (Shield until Round 8, Mirror Image until Round 9)

Odric hopes beyond hope that Gaius doesn't run his fingers through his hair. He doesn't think he can intimidate these two effectively.
Ferox unloads a volley at the dragon.
Ferox activates Judgement: Justice and Destruction
