Theran calls on the strength of his fallen clan and begins to make his way up. Each pull of his arms bring him further up until he emerges victorious. Given the potential of the spell, he is barely harmed by his trip.
"Dadwneud! Chwalu! Dorri'r Gwehyddu o'r dyn hwn!" A bluish-white ray shoots from Yridhrennor's finger and blasts into the flying mage. One of the flying mage's wardings was stripped away.
Stifling a cry as he sees Theran fall, Galin lets fly three more arrows at the mage. All three struck true, flashing against the remaining wardings.
Winching in pain, Blink replied with Ice in the form of Snowball. Her spell flew short of the sorcerer, dissolving into slush before it touched his feet.
Steve pressed closer in and hurled his shield again, but it came up a breath shy of making contact before falling back into his hand.
The flying man spoke another incantation and twin lances of fire shot from his eyes to sear Yridhrennor. The pain was too much and the elf passed out, his blood flowing freely toward the ground. The same lances then turned on Blink, burning her badly.
Y's dispel kills the highest caster level effect on the guy. He cast them all, so they're the same. Mage armor it is.
Steave
Bad guy for Y.
And Blink.
Seeing Yridhrennor go down, Galin scowls, bowing his head as a flicker of golden energy spreads down his arms and into his bow.
Theran looks up in a rage, but one of the spirits surrounding him pulls at his arm, pointing at the downed elf. He runs over and lets the spirit enter his body. He reaches down with a hand sheathed in moonlight to touch Yridhrennor.
Gritting her teeth, Blink hurled another Lightning bolt and moved to one side, usng her Blurred form to hide in an attempt to not get another blast of fire to the head.

Yridhrennor wakens, visibly unnerved by his near brush with death. My thanks, Theran. He gives a wan smile and then turns back to the fiend flying above them. "Dadwneud! Chwalu! Dorri'r Gwehyddu o'r dyn hwn!"
Once more, he mutters arcane words and points a the fiend. Another blue-white ray shoots from the tip of his finger.
1) burn Mythic Power for Wild Arcana form of: Dispel Magic [+2 to caster level]
2) burn 1 arcane reservoir to boost caster level
3) Eldritch Breach: get to roll 2x and take better result

Seeing Yridhrennor go down, Galin scowls, bowing his head as a flicker of golden energy spreads down his arms and into his bow. His devastating barrage ripped through the sorcerer's flesh many times over, sending droplets of vile blood pouring down. At its end, the man barely seemed alive.
Gritting her teeth, Blink hurled another Lightning bolt and moved to one side, using her Blurred form to hide in an attempt to not get another blast of fire to the head. The lightning only grazed the flying man, but he reeled and spun in the air all the same, limbs jerking.
Then Steave hurled his shield again. It struck the sorcerer clear in the face and flipped him over in the air. Almost drfiting, bleeding profusely, his trembling hands drew a wand from his belt. He spoke a command word and vanished.
Which dispel?
Galin thanks you for your support. :)
Galin's shots run up against elec resistance. Shock is +1d6, so it's one of those 4. For simplicity, and because he's going to do a mountain of damage anyway, I'm taking it off the top rather than try to reverse engineer. His second spends the last of the first hp bar on flyguy.
Steave
Blink knew that trick - after all, she used it herself. She muttered for a moment and a cloud of golden sparkles exploded where the creature had been. Hopefully, drawing and using the wand meant he didn't have time to flee.

Blink's spell coated nothing at all, but descended quietly down to the ground.
Galin scowled, Damn, I was finally actually landing my shots too. Everyone relatively alright?
I'm a bit shaken... I.. oh dear me, yes. Sorry. Adventuring is not good for my health. Oh my no.
"Singed around the edges," Blink replied, jogging back to the group. "And some of the middle bits, too." She winced at a burn in a most uncomfortable and unmentionable place began to ache with the deep, urge heat of a nasty burn.
Galin's final barrage of arrows feathered the flying sorcerer thoroughly and Steave's shield followed them up. He fell like a stone to the ground, dead before he hit the bridge.
Yridhrennor limps over to the dead sorcerer, looking for any information that might be useful. Well done!
Theran will shake himself off, going through the recovery period after his frenzy.
He'll pull out the wand and start healing.
Theran will shake himself off, going through the recovery period after his frenzy.
Theran's ministrations bring himself and Blink back to full health. Yridhrennor remains a bit scorched.
Blink sighed in relief, and nodded her thanks to Theran. She was going to have to find a way to not get charcoaled quite so often.
He'll nod back at Blink. "The scouts always face the most danger. But I'll always come in after you." he looks her right in the eyes as he says this.

Blink grinned. "And for that, I thank you most heartily." Looking to the others, she added, "Time to march the army over the bridge? It looks like we kept it pretty intact."
Steave orders the army to move, so it gets there when it's time to assault the fortress.
"Blink, lead the way. We're probably going to have to assault the gatehouse to open the doors from the inside."

Nodding, Blink found out why a scout crossed the bridge - to find all the weaknesses on the other side.
Blink set out to the far side of the bridge, picking her way through the bodies. Just as she neared the last towers, a huge creature with the body of a lion and three heads, that of a goat, a white-scaled dragon, and a snow leopard flashed down from above, its wings heaving as it roared. At the same instant, Yridhrennor is struck by a vision of its descent.
She sees it.
always acts in surprise
Eyes wide, Blink teleported back next to Theran. "Turns out they keep really big pets here. Got any more fire balls?" Blink concentrated, and hurled the last of her more potent spells in the hope of frying the incoming creature.

The chimera bounded forward and darkling energy flowed across its body as its dragon head breathed. A hail of razor-sharp ice flashed across the bridge. They left Blink untouched.
Ref DC 21
Galin's eyes widen at the sight of the beast, his hands flying between his quiver and his bow, six arrows flying at the creature's draconic head.
Gweision o olau a niwl, galwaf i chwi! Cynorthwyo i mi! Eldritch blue and white mist swirl in a cloud in front of the chimera, and slowly coalesce into the shape of a dog that fades into and out of existence.
that's Summon Monster 3 form of a blink dog
Summoning statblocks don't seem to be up T_T
augment Summoning gives it +4 to Str and Con
Augment Summoning (Mythic) makes it count as a tier-1 mythic critter for all purposes.
Oh, and it lasts for 9 rounds instead of 6
"Last one!" he cries as he hurls a blast of fire at the icy beast. He then runs up toward the beast, angling away from the others to draw it's attention.
Blink moved along one side, hoping to avoid it's attention, and prepared to strike when Theran closed as well. She wouldn't survive those claws and teeth without some help. To be safe, she used Shadow Veil to hide more effectively.

Galin's eyes widen at the sight of the beast, his hands flying between his quiver and his bow, six arrows flying at the creature's draconic head. Two of his shafts flew true, but even with solid hits they did less harm to the creature than he hoped. One bounced right off.

The three-headed creature wheeled on Yridhrennor's summoned ally with claws, horns, and two savage bites. Most of the attacks passed through the celestial, but a bite and claw hit. Together they were enough to banish it back to the Upper Planes.
missed by a point
nope
Galin calls on Arqueros to bless his arrows as he sends another six at the creature.
Theran moves around to flank the creature.
He seems to be doing something odd as he moves in. He seems to be jerking and flailing. It then becomes obvious that he is mocking the Chimera and comparing it to a headless chicken.
With Theran going behind the creature, and saving Blink a teleport, she moved to the front to cut it down. She tried to nimbly dodge her way into close quarters, hoping to avoid being torn apart by those long teeth and claws.
Steave hustles forward and attempts to two-handed slam his shield into the creature. Instead, he chips the bridge's stone.
Yridhrennor levels his crossbow at the chimera and fires
Yridhrennor levels his crossbow at the chimera and fires, missing.
Steave hustles forward and attempts to two-handed slam his shield into the creature. Instead, he chips the bridge's stone. The chimera turned upon him in a fury, biting deep into his arm, throwing him to the ground with a toss of its horns, and clawing him as he fell.
Galin calls on Arqueros to bless his arrows as he sends another six at the creature, but only one arrow struck and it barely did the creature harm.
With Theran going behind the creature, and saving Blink a teleport, she moved to the front to cut it down. She tried to nimbly dodge her way into close quarters, hoping to avoid being torn apart by those long teeth and claws. Like Galin's arrows, her strike didn't penetrate so far as she hoped. It was enough to swing a head to glare at her in hate, all the same.
Theran moves around to flank the creature. He seems to be doing something odd as he moves in. He seems to be jerking and flailing. It then becomes obvious that he is mocking the Chimera and comparing it to a headless chicken. At the end of his dance, he struck with all his might.
The chimera turned on him and caught him in both jaws at once, savaging even his sturdy flesh before throwing him up on its goat's horns and then casting him to the bridge's hard stone for a final swipe of the claws.
ChimChimx2. He doesn't see Blink, so lunch is down to Steave since Theran's approach hasn't happened yet.

Steave breathes a blessing and stands in the face of the chimera. Then, he two-handed bashes it with his shield, which glances off its thick hide.
As the flurry of blows comes in, Theran's tribe stands before him. They aren't solid, but they stop the bite and slow the other blows.
Yridhrennor frantically searches his beastiaries for anything that might help them tackle this beast. As he does, he commands his dog to attack the creature while also casting a flurry of words almost unbelievably fast

Yridhrennor frantically searches his beastiaries for anything that might help them tackle this beast. As he does, he speaks a flurry of words almost unbelievably fast. Yridhrennor is sure that only the most powerful of weapons, blessed by the heavens and forged of cold iron could harm the chimera. He shared his knowledge with everyone at once.
Steave breathes a blessing and stands in the face of the chimera. Then, he two-handed bashes it with his shield, which glances off its thick hide. The hero of the First Crusade rises only for the chimera to turn on him with a fresh roar. It sank its dragon's teeth deep into his shield arm and hauled his whole body almost to its lepoard's maw before Steave pulled free and brought his shield up to block the second set of teeth. The goat's head took him from the side, tossing him on his back once more. A claw caught him as he fell.

Taking Yridhrennor's words to heart, Galin pulls out a set of cold iron arrows and pincushions the creature, hoping that they seem to work better than his last volley.
Theran stays low to the ground as he feels himself speed up. He had older brothers and cousins, and from them he learned that it was sometimes better to strike from the ground.
Blink focused on cutting off anything that looked important. It seemed like the thing to do.

Blink focused on cutting off anything that looked important. It seemed like the thing to do. She caught the chimera offguard, its attention focused on Theran and Steave, and her blade slipped into its flank, catching bone before the creature pulled free.
Theran stays low to the ground as he feels himself speed up. He had older brothers and cousins, and from them he learned that it was sometimes better to strike from the ground. He dealt a devastating flurry of blows, striking sparks off wet bone and spraying blood with each hit. He crushed the goat head, staved in ribs, rammed his earthbreaker into the opening dragon's mouth, and then Clan Silverlight rose in a press of spectral blades and hammers, tearing open the chimera's belly. It roared one last time as it died.
