Eagle Leonar casts Sleet Storm to put out the dragon’s fire that hit the town.
Soranna moves up and fires a single arrow, pulling the bowstring as far back as possible.

Helakuu will pull his wand of Magic Missile and activate it, targeting the dragon.
As Ambrose suddenly becomes aware of the dragon's might, a wave of apprehension washes over him, but he steels himself and casts it away, armoring himself in resolve. His focus allows him to protect himself from the subsequent blast of flames that surges forth from the wyrm's mouth, with Helakuu's abjuration absorbing much of the remaining damage.
Ambrose uses his speed and flight enchantments to pursue to the dragon, performing an aerial charge again.

Shaylar's owl wheels after the dragon and he fires after it.
Ambrose's blade bites into the creature, and Helakuu's magic missiles also find their mark.
Shaylar's arrows, however, cannot pierce the scales and spells of the creature.
Aleste wheels his owl upwards and and drinks one of his alchemical creations .
As the Sleet Storm extinguishes the fires and the dragon flies away, a ragged cheer rises from defenders nearby.
The dragon continues to fly directly away, levelling out and maintaining a steady speed, moving another 400ft away.
Aleste drinks another extract and his owl continues to climb.
Shaylar also takes a higher position while enchanting his quiver .
Leonar isn’t going to follow the dragon and be caught alone with the beast, so he loops around, looking for any other threats.
Perception
Not sure what the dragon will do next, but expecting it to be back Helakuu casts a quick spell and vanishes from sight. Soranna flies up next to where he was last located and his voice emanates from the air, "excellent, we shall both be ready if that beast comes back."
Leonar was unable to speak and advise what he had seen, so he continued to circle in the air, waiting for the dragon to return. The invaders would have to wait until the dragon was finished.
Ambrose curses under his breath as the dragon peels away across the sky. He flies 80 feet in the dragon's direction and readies his sword and shield, preparing for another pass.
Harek follows Ambrose, splitting up slightly to avoid the two of them being caught in the same breath weapon AoE.
"That's tha spirit, lad! Les' chop this flyin' lizards wings clean off an' watch it fall ta da ground!"
The dragon shakes it head and roars, tongues of flame licking the dark sky. Then it begins to wheel in a broad arc, coming back toward the city.
You can only imagine the heavy beat of its distant wings as the clamour of battle from across the city rings in your ears.
Readying myself, I wait for the dragon to return and once it is in reach, I start sending out arrow upon arrow into its path as it comes on.
Harek readies to charge and intercept the dragon if it gets within 90'.
Leonar keeps flying circles, waiting for the dragon to return. He has the elven longbowmen at the ready to fire at will when the beast enters range.
As Ambrose sees Harek readying himself to advance on the dragon, he does the same, tightening his stance and taking a firm grip on his sword, preparing to speed forward with his magical enhancements and run it into the wyrm.

Aleste takes yet another extract and his eagle sors.
The invisible Helakuu flies up and slightly towards the beast, both to get into range of his spell and to get out of the path of a breath attack. While none of this is visible, he still makes the 'wax off' motion and utters a few arcane words while casting 'Dispel Magic'. He is attempting to remove the 'Shield' protecting the creature.
Soranna stands her ground and unleashes a flurry of arrows at the beast. "GET SOME!!!"

The Elven archers loose their arrows at the beast.

The dragon comes to a halt before Helakuu, beating its wings in great billows that hold it in place.
"Ya! Bring it on, gimme a try wit' dem rotten ol' teef an' blunted stupi' claws. Gimme yer wors' big dumb an' scaly!"
Ambrose charges in to strike the dragon beside Harek.
But his blow flies wide.
The dragon ends its charge with an effort to hover which delays its attack.
