DM Carbide's Giantslayer

Game Master John Woodford

Jarrek is unable to get a clear view of it due to it being backlit, but from its silhouette it's draconic but with only two non-wing limbs--likely a drake of some kind or a wyvern.

Jarrek squints up at the creature. "A drake, maybe? Could be a wyvern. Not a dragon, praise Cayden's flagon."

Haftor is back to medium size.

Haftor invokes the blessings of Torag, and his armor glimmers briefly. He then adjusts his stance and looks up warily at the flying beastie.

Swift action for Sacred Armor, current AC 23. Ready an action to attack with warhammer if the beastie gets within range,

Round 1 (ongoing):

Initiative order:
Bronwyn-moved/holding
Haftor-holding
Rift drake-acted
Kronug
Jarrek
Roshelle

Haftor bolsters his defenses and readies an attack.

About the time that it levels off at forty feet, it's no longer backlit and Jarrek recognizes it as a rift drake. It spits a glob of something that bursts over everyone but Bronwyn. Everyone but Bronwyn takes 30 points of acid damage and is slowed for the next round; DC 20 Reflex save to halve the damage and negate the slow effect.

Kronnug, Jarrek, and Roshelle can act!

Rift drake: AC ? T ? FF ? HP taken: 0

Ref save, DC 20: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 Wooo!

Jarrek jumps out of the way. "Rift drake? These guys are bad news!" He hisses as his leg gets burned by the acid. "It's tough but we can take it! They're murderous, sadistic bastards, we have to kill it." He pulls the bow off his back and prepares to fire up into the sky.

Standard to start Inspire Courage 1/15, +2 to attack and damage for everybody, Move action to draw bow.

Reflex, Shake it Off +3: 1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 3 = 9 Additional +3 if it is evil, but still a nat 1.
30 acid damage taken, now at 41/80 and Slowed.

Kronug is caught off-guard and completely covered in acid.

He readies an attack (with a 5' step as part of the readied action) if the creature comes within 10 feet.

Bless should still be active, I think.

Roshelle?

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Splashes of acid rain down on Rochelle immediately burning her skin. The pain is overwhelming and she falls unconscious.

That takes me down to -3.

Jarrek avoids some of the acid, but Kronug and Roshelle are less fortunate. The cleric falls, skin blistering.

Round 2:

Conditions: Inspire courage; +2 to hit and to damage

Initiative order:
Bronwyn-
Haftor
Enemy
Kronug
Jarrek
Roshelle

Bronwyn and Haftor are up!

"Cleric down!" Bronwyn reported, perhaps unnecessarily. She hardened her expression and drew a bead on the drake with her bow before firing.

Moved 10' south. If we're going by elevated range, my math puts it around 90 feet (18 squares) for a range increment. She's still well within that.

Bow attack: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 2 = 22
damage: 1d8 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10

Bless should still be active for another +1 to hit on Bronwyn's shot there, as it's only been a few rounds since the Ettin fight
