Is the dragon saying anything?

Round 7

Amadar continues to row, cursing his spell selection for the day.

"Once we are inside, the Dragon will be much less effective, of course we need to get inside first..."

Not realy saying anything Erdwin just opening its maw to breath something at someone at the minimum

"Cover is good"
Erdwin contributes to rowing however he can wanting the leave this exposed situation.

Erdwin continues to row. Suppressing the panic as arrow strike the water around them.

"Does anyone have mending magic for the hole in the boat?"

Borrum continues to row for the town hall, putting all he can into the oars.

Its 50 ft i forgot to modify after the cut and paste

All Heroes go !

Combat map adjuted

Borrum gets out of the boat and equips his shield as he moves up the stairs.

Double move to L25

Erdwin follows after Borrum and takes a position behind him on the stairs.

To cover their move from the boat to the Townhall, Galdamor casts obscuring mist

May Hextor tactical mind protect His follower from the eyes of his ennemies

Then he moves to the stairs, following Borrum.

someone Might want to save amadar from dying this round [house rule] (By my count he is at -10)

In this case I will use my wand on Amadar CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Round 8

Galdamor's wand prevents the Druid's death but he is still not getting up and moving towards the entrance...

Thanks Galdamor, that was close!

Tasar and miha both take the body of Amadar and get out of the boat

Dragon Elevation +30 ft up and 10 ft behind the boat

The dragon shift little goes into hover and breath acid at his previous target Only catching it i am not going to bother figuring out the best angle trying to get as many people as he possibly could

Reflex DC 18: 8d4 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 4, 4, 2, 3, 3) = 241d4 ⇒ 2 vs galdamore

The goblin sitting on top of it switch to the last elven target

The lizard folk stay in defensive formation even tough the party is almost at their feet

Round 9

All Heroes go !

Erdwin take the damage of arrows begins to cast mirror image.

Spell Failure: 1d100 ⇒ 7

Casting mirror image and I have a 10% spell failure so if I get 1-10 then I fail

And the spell failed... :(

Reflex DC18: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Again Galdamor is burned by acid. He casts obscuring mist to protect him and the other from the archer.

hope this dragon can't breath at will !

He moves to get out of his previous location but still able to heal Amadar.

Borrum begins swinging and hacking at the lizardfolk in front of him.

Waraxe, PA6: 1d20 + 13 - 6 ⇒ (2) + 13 - 6 = 9
Dmg, Waraxe, PA6: 1d20 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 6 = 31
Miss Chance, 20% (low is bad): 1d100 ⇒ 6

Waraxe, PA6: 1d20 + 8 - 6 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 6 = 15
Dmg, Waraxe, PA6: 1d20 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 6 = 15
Miss Chance, 20% (low is bad): 1d100 ⇒ 84

If a lizardfolk drops, Borrum will 5' step into it's position.

It takes both hits to drop the lizard folk and borrum takes his place into the line
you rolled d20's for damage so i took the second one and *2

LOL... posted just before a meeting. I will try to be more observant next time. But 31 damage is nice.

what i nice way to start a meeting :) killing poor lizardfolk. I can almost picture it from here :) imagining the slip up "during" the meeting .... Don't worry about it anyway

Round 9

All the lizard folk fight defensibly trying to maintain order.

No hits come unto the dwarf

So what is your game plan here ? you can hack trough the lizardfolk without a problem using the cover of the mist

it takes less than a minute for the party to hack trough the lizardfolk while under the protection of the obscuring mist

You can hear the roar of the dragon. You have no idea if it is in defiance, anger or frustration. Altough it might be a little bit of everything

Round 13

All Heroes go !

As Amadar is bowing out, I will let his character here

Seeing he can't do much more for Amadar, Galdamor casts a spell on himself to get better and moves to join Borrum.

Faith Healing +12 HP

indeed. Lets just say that the dragon breath his line of Acid blindly in the fog and Amadar is the unlucky one who gets hit by it

How heavy is the raft/canoe we came here on? Borrum may go get it and bring it into the building while the mist is around. Then we can continue with the building/ruin and the dragon either continues to hover/fly around and get bored waiting on us or the dragon comes to us. Just my 2 cents.

it is somewhat heavy but between you and Galdamore you can take it where ever you want. Just remember it is a whole in the floor that is your way to the other floor. (you can dump it into the pool of water altough)

Seeing his spell fizzle Erdwin feel exposed even in the fog and attempts and attempts to hide.

Hide: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Erdwin hides without a problem

so what else the party is doing after having kill all the lizardfolk ?

Moving the raft out of the water so it doesn't sink, then going into the town hall building via the hole in the roof. A quick searching that level and healing as needed. Once done, move down into the water and search the next level down while the water breathing is going. We need to let the dragon come to us, not stand out in the open and continue to be beat down from a distance.

Erdwin follows Borrum into the town hall.

Does anyone have a plan on how take on a flying dragon?

The party explore that last room in the town hall. This large room might have once been a well appointed library, but now its shelves lie in disarray along the east and west wall. No signs of any books are apparent. A large portion of the floor is missing which opens into the dark waters of the lake below.

Searching this room the party fine a suite of (magic: week aura of transmutation) full plate armor with embedded symbol of the city of Rhest (the elves can tell you that is was the suite of the city's champion), a periapt (magic: week aura of transmutation), a heavy silver mace (magic: week aura of transmutation).

Hidden away in a strong box: a horn 8 800 sp, 2 300 gp 130 pp a gold necklace (800gp) en 11 small gesm (each 30gp).

And inside a secret compartment well hidden at the bottom of one of the bookshelf a delicate adamantine chain on whics are threaded a lion's claw and teeth (Strong aura of necromancy / evil)

The only place the party currently have no explored is the structure attached to the town hall by the wooden gang plank

"So wat resources weez got ah'vail-ah'bull ta us. Eyes luv ta put on dis flying lizard's hoard armor. Dat would piss it off, but Eyes doughnut think der is time ta put it on." Burrom says with a bit if cheeriness in his voice.

"Eyes got ma bow and axes," he taps the hand axes at his side, "if da wee gecko wants ta fight in da air, an' ma big axe if he wants ta fight on da ground."

He looks around the group, "Hows da wounds doing, Eyes got ah couple ah potions left." He reaches into his belt pouch for a healing potion and offers it to the group.

Potion of CLW

"A potion would be helpful yes. Do we know of a way to knock the dragon to the ground? Arrows do not seem like the way to go unless you have a ballista hidden somewhere"

We could go check that room we missed on the other side of the gang plank.

"Eye see no reason ta go back out in da open, wit dat flyin' lizard out dare. Weez should use da waterbreathin' time to investigate below. If weez donought find anythin' weez swim up ta dat utter buildin'."

Ok I'll follow after you

Borrum slides into the pool of water and begins to explore the next level down.

Erdwin Follows Borrum into the depths.

There are two levels, with large aping whole that connect to the lake but besides that there is nothing else
