Vilya's starting to have a system when it comes to dealing with large, angry reptiles. With an ear-piercing shriek, she springs from her hiding place. Vilya lands on the beast's back and drives her kukri into its gnarled flesh with both hands.

Sneak attack (kukri): 1d20 + 5 ; confirm critical: 1d20 + 5 ; damage: 1d6 + 2d4 + 2

an 18 misses, Vilya :/

The critical threat range for that particular weapon is 18-20. If the confirmation roll is lower than the creature's AC, doesn't it still hit (albeit dealing normal damage)?

It was an 18 after you added 5, you rolled a 13.

Hey, I never said I could do math or anything...

Egan the Hunter's bow is a +1 bow that gives you a +4 vs. your favored enemy

Tobias' arcane bolts strike true, as does Egan's arrow. The beast screeches and paws the air.

Iz darts forward and slices at the scaly beast

1d20+8;2d6+3

His attack carves a jagged furrow in the dino's hide

I'll give Seven a chance to post today, if not, then I'll DMPC him

Egan quickly notches another arrow, and lets fly.

Hunters Bow (regular arrow) (1d20+11=16)

Damage (1d8+6=13)

"Now it's fun ..." San grimaces. He sets his bow down to draw Ghostfetter, and the casts scorching ray at the monstrosity.

ranged touch 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 (-4 if shooting into melee) damage 4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 1, 3) = 11

Sorry for delayed post Egan, ruff couple a days. The exploding arrows add 1d6 of fire damage to any shot

1d8 + 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + (1) + 6 = 13Exploding Arrow damage

Ten, now finally on his feet and axe in hand, charges across the area to close on the Dragon-Dinosaur, "You want a piece of me?" he bellows, but is made less impressive by his sleeping hat and gown.

I can charge 60' if there is a straight line and nothing or nobody in the way, or I can move 30'. I guess the dracosaur gets an attack of opportunity as I close, my AC is currently 11 (or 9 if I can charge)

+1 Greataxe Sacred Burst [Cyndrig the Fiendhacker] : +8 1d12+7 (x3): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

1d12 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

I have NOT added in +2 for charging, so that is 26 if I can charge.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
The acid strikes Joleesa squarely and she screams in agony as it burns her flesh and clothing from her body.

Joleesa once more strikes out at the creature that hurt "Wheezy" with Raptorstrike, but the agony from the acid makes her strike go wide.

Attack Creature with Raptorstrike activating Smite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Damage: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (1, 6) + 3 = 10

"Wheezy" Leaps at the creature again, trying to rake it with his talons again, but upon hearing Joleesa's scream his leap falls short.

Leaping Slash: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Damage: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2) + 3 = 9

"What the!?", Tobias exclaims as the lizard spits out a stream of acid. "Egan! You know how it did that?", he says as he sends more bolts of force at the thing.

Knowledge(Arcana), is there a magic excuse for it to vomit acid? 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Tobias:

Iz draws his blade in a glittering arc and hacks at the beast

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 1) + 3 = 10

His blade bounces off the beast's hide

Ten screams and buries his new axe deep in the beast's side. It bellows in pain and claws at the sky

Seven runs over to Jo and lays hands on her as she prepares for the beast's new onslaught

CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

After her first attack deflects off of the creature's scaly hide, Vilya tries again, this time aiming for the beast's underbelly.

Attack: blurstrike kukri: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

No dice.

Karl the Guide: 7
Sanvoros: 7
Seven Eagle: 7
Tobias: 7
Ten: 6

Their guide Karl has taken the last few moments to light a torch, which he tosses at the beast. It bounces off the winged dino, but doesn't frighten it off.

Sorry forgot yer guide in all the commotion LOL

The dino bites at the large nightcapped annoyance that just carved a hunk out of him:

Bite on Ten1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

2d8 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 = 7

It's fetid jaws spray him with acidic spittle as its fangs slice into his side.

It slashes at Karl with its two wings:

On the guide:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

The razor-sharp claws score bloody furrows on their guide. Blood spurts from a severed artery

NEW ROUND! POST ACTIONS!

"Karl!" Tobias swears and sends more bolts of force at the beast.

Just checking, is he dead? Magic Missile, again. 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Egan takes more careful aim and looses another shaft at the beast.

Hunters bow (1d20+12=24)

Hunters Bow damage (1d8+7=10)

Ten Foot bellows in suprise and annoyance as the Dragosaur proves deadly.

He swings his axe once more at the beast, hoping to end it quickly.

+1 Greataxe Sacred Burst [Cyndrig the Fiendhacker] : +8 1d12+7 (x3): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

1d12 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

But Ten fumbles in the confusion. Bah, a natural 1.

Does the guide look dead, or is he dying?

Seeing the guide go down, San decides discretion is NOT the way to go here. He'll take a move action to get in a flanking position by the dino-dragon thing, then activate his ring of piercing spells, and cast shocking grasp against the beast.

Defensive Casting 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Touch Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Sorry, been arguing about the new dice roller. Don't really know why ...

The electricity arcs from San's hands and envelops the beast. It shrieks and jitters, one of its eyes bursting in a spray of ocular fluids. It falls to the ground with a resounding *THUD*

Good job folks!

Vilya is apoplectic with rage. Her hands shake as she brandishes her kukri knife at no one in particular.

"I DIDN'T EVEN GET IN MY SHOT! YOU WOKE ME UP FOR THIS? YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! YOU'RE ALL... ROTTEN... KILL STEALERS!"

She jams her knife into the belt she had hastily thrown over her underclothes when the melee began, crossing her arms and pouting.

"I'm going back to sleep. You all owe me."

Egan rolls his eyes at his old friend/nemesis outburst. "We're sorry", he confides gently. "I promise you can take the next watch by yourself, so you can get the kill without worrying about us."

Seeing the beast go down, Joleesa races over to "Wheezy" and attempts to examine his wounds.

Heal Check: 1d20 ⇒ 3

"Hey, if you want to kill something you can always go run around the jungle for a few hours. Hey, Ten, get over here and look at Karl's neck wound! We don't want our only guide to bleed to death!"

Ten foot rushes to tend to the fallen, calling on the power of his god to heal them.

Channel energy: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 6) = 17

"Well, that was interesting. Anyone get any idea what that was?"

San will inspect the beast's corpse, trying to figure out if it was a natural creature (or a mix), or perhaps someone's experiment gone wrong.

Knowledge Arcana 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 Nature 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Wheezy is wounded, but still mobile. He makes small unhappy sounds as Jolessa inspects his wounds

The fallen ... dragosaur? ... is covered in greenish-black scales. It's head has several ornate horns coming off it, and it has the basic carraige of a large raptor. Its mouth is filled with dino-style teeth, but no dino San knows drools acid. A few stray drops sizzle on the matted vegetation under its mouth. The wings look draconic, certainly something a regular raptor would have no use for.

request for info

[spoiler]And thanks for the compliment, I try to keep them entertaining :)

Adds his agreement to a cracking game.

Assuming the danger is over, Ten Foot will use a few more bursts of healing energy to get every one back to full health (including wheezy, who would of benefited from the first burst I think).

Healing burst: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 3, 2) = 12

"Anyone seen my sleeping cap?" He asks sheepishly.

Egan is very curious about this abomination. He takes the time to study the beast carefully; looking at the dirt on its feet, even cutting open its carcass to see what it has fed on. This is always useful to determine if he learns any secrets about this creature. He takes no flesh for consumption, as he is not sure if this is a sentient beast or not.

"And I thought they smelled bad on the outside!" Karl quips as the acidic vinegary stentch of its innards perfume the night.

Egan's investigation reveals several things: The dragosaur liked hanging around the river. It's gullet is filled with fish and snakes. Its feet are sand covered, and there are water weeds stuck under its claws. It also had fought other predators, it has several healed or healing bite wounds.

As Egan checks out the fallen lizard's gizzard, a slurry of slimy rocks patter to the ground. The rocks are as smooth as river pebbles and the acid of the dragosaur's digestion has polished them to a high sheen. Among the quartz and feldspar a large round black rock sits. Egan sees a rainbow of colors scintilating from its highly-polished surface. It is one of the famous black opals that the Blue Mountains are known for. This is a beautiful large specimen with good color.

"Well look what we have here"! Egan says carefully using a stick to remove the gem from the pile". "This should be worth a pretty coin". He looks at his Vilya to make sure she isn't trying to sneak up on him and take the "shiney".

"Yes, yes it would." Tobias gazes longingly at the gem.

Appraise: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

"Shhhhhhhhhhush!" Ten mumbles, "Some of us are trying to sleep here."

He rolls over punches some shape into his backpack pillow and tries to drowned out the sounds around him.

A smile spreads over Tobias' face. "Oh yes. I could get a thousand for this easy. I put a little work into it, well, the sky's the limit."
