Malerix moves another 100', putting him just inside the NW corner of the Camp. He appears to be searching for something...
Macavity continues to wait with his bow ready.
Malerix lets out another gob of 'mucus,' but the shot goes past whatever he was aiming at. At the last second, his head arcs up, almost reflexively, and the shot comes down like an artillery shell, several yards past the stables. His body then jerks to the right. That's the end of his turn.
The Usurer, having made sure that everyone was safe, turns towards the dragon. Letting loose an incantation, a ball of flame and gas, the size of a head, goes roaring towards the dragon.
Makes the save!
1/2 = 20 pts.
The Usurer then screams out,
Digory sees the people coming into the inn. Thinking quickly, he goes to one of the hatches leading below and starts moving everyone down there, explaining that it's cramped but safe. To the first person who comes back in, he'll tell them "We've got too many people in here to just stick in rooms. They'll be safe below, if that dragon decides to take out the inn."
Elen smiles at Digory and nods, "I was about to suggest that!"
She looks around for Kallistiel and, not seeing her, calls out, "Kallistiel! Eccoita! Raxë! Garthanc boe!"
For some reason (), Malerix, has suddenly turned to his right, taking him back outside the Camp's perimeter. You don't know yet if it was due to the Usurer's fireball, or something else.
Kallistiel enters, blinking her eyes, her rapier in her hand. "Man na ta? Im ne garo gelir elei... bein adan ah tofn conath...," a yawn creases her features. "So... you need help with this rabble?"
"That orc-f!cking dragon is back!" growls Ally, pointing out of a window, as Elen peers cautiously out the front door.
@ Ruul, Elen, and Macavity: Do you plan to continue to 'hold action' this round? (i.e. what you were doing last round?)
@ Ruul, Elen, and Macavity: Do you plan to continue to 'hold action' this round? (i.e. what you were doing last round?)
Macavity can only hurt it within 30-ft, so he's holding until it's within 30-ft.
Elen gets out her doses of Universal Solvent in case they are needed, and hands one to Ally. Other than that, holding action.
It seems as if Malerix is struggling to control his flight. For a moment, his body jerks, almost involuntarily, to his right, covering almost a half-circle of over 100', turning almost back the way he came, before he shakes his head and makes a sharper right turn.
He then continues to shake his head violently, and then flattens out his turn.
Kallistiel glances out the window at the dragon struggling to control it's flight and the Userer standing tall before it.
"Isn't that sweet," she says with a yawn. "It's come all this way to visit. So what are we defending? It looks like the Userer is prepared to deal with it. Why not let him?"
Elen shrugs, "Last time he brought a phalanx of gargoyles with him. This time, perhaps not."
The Usurer, unsure of the dragon's intent, holds his own . However, when Malerix turns inward to cross the camp, he flings another fireball at it.
Definitely makes the save...
1/2=15 pts damage.
Malerix continues to coast along the northern perimeter of the Camp, and then turns left and slowly works his way back towards Tsar.
Suddenly, from under the floorboards, you hear, "Elsbeth? You see the gnome scrambling back out of the hatch, trying to get to the front door.
"What happened? Is she injured?" yelps Ally in concern.
