The Burrower strikes with his tail at Mirrin and rakes his claws over Tomkin and Bofus.

Tail Slap @Mirrin: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34 HIT!

Damage: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 3) + 3 = 14

I'm not sure why Mirrin is not posting, but I will put him on delay until he returns.

Bogus continues to stab away. I'm still n a flanking position due to Gang Up feat, even tho no one else is

attack: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20

Mirrin continues to hack away the short stance of the halflings and the huge creature providing no barriers.

Out of Combat!

The sound of clapping fills the suddenly quiet chamber as Ulwai Stormcaller applauds your efforts.

"Most impressive. The High Wyrmlord's burrowing pets are now defeated. I don't think anyone even had such an opportunity to try such a thing. This is going to make quite the story. Mind you, I don't think Azur Kul is going to forgive you for that."

"No doubt he will have opportunity to express his displeasure soon enough"

Red pushes onwards.

Tom uses his wand if channeling is not used.
clw: 5d8 + 5 ⇒ (2, 4, 5, 7, 1) + 5 = 24

We'll talk about forgiveness, as soon as we stick a sword up his arse

The air in this large cavern is cold and smells musty. Thick carpets of pallid fungus grow around the stalagmites that cover the floor of this cave, and razor-sharp stalactites hang from the ceiling above. The cave's floor has three tiers, each rising ten feet above the one before it. The ceiling slopes upward to the north as well, never reaching a a height of more than twenty feet. To the far north, a fifteen-foot-wide passageway continues north. To the south, a massive, irregular pit yawns into darkness.

Go ahead and move yourselves deeper into the fane. Three DC 10 climb checks to get to the Northeast Corner of the map.

• Red (hp: 94/94)
• Bofus (hp: 53/53)
• Tomkin (hp: 70/74)
• Mirrin (hp: 73/87)
• Tirion (hp: 34/36)

"No doubt he will have opportunity to express his displeasure soon enough"

"Red, my dear, shall I assume that you do not have pets or animal companions back in Galt? I would have thought that you would have had more sympathy for a Wyrmlord and his companions."

We'll talk about forgiveness, as soon as we stick a sword up his arse."

"I imagine that from your height, that is the best angle to stab at anyone."

Tom looks at the very top, and rather than climb, he moves quickly with his mount through the ether and appears at the top. He is concerned that there may be an ambush of the climbers, and once to get a close look.

Climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

After slipping, falling and banging his shoulder on the first rise, Tirion manages to just struggle to get up the others.

Red can't fail those checks

The bard makes it look easy as he traverses the terrain "I have sympathy towards the creatures we slew, no sympathy for the Wyrmlord. In Galt, one also tries not to concern themselves with too much sympathy, we are normally preoccupied with not getting killed in the latest glorious revolution"

An enormous blue-scaled creature lumbers into view bearing a huge sword and bearing a dragon skull as a shield. Its head looks something like that of a blue dragon, and as it gnashes its teeth and bangs its sword against its shield, electricity sparks from its mouth and weapon.

In a loud booming voice it declares,

i also cannot fail those climb checks

Bofus scampers up the incline, keeping an eye out for shinies the monsters may have had--they were pets, but you never know...

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24

As soon as Big Blue and Ugly starts tromping in the thief draws his blade and melts into the shadows
stealth: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (13) + 26 = 39

2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 4) + 3 = 13 Downing potion of cure moderate to save time.

Mirrin climbs onward not trusting the woman enough to leave her alone.

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

"IF YE DINNAE SPEAK COMMON I'M JES GOING TO ASSUME YE SAID "PLEASE MIRRIN! PLEASE KICK MY ARSE AND DRESS ME GIRLY!"

Nature checks. Bow out.

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18 Know Nature

Poppy Aid Nature 1d20 ⇒ 7
Red Know Nature 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

"Bluespawn godslayers are some of Tiamat's spawn and theyworship Tiamat and serve her armies as heavy troops." Red laughs "Respect your mother sure, but worship?" he jests.

Knowledge(nature): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Knowledge(religion): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Tirion nods in agreement with Shifty's analysis.

/derp used wrong profile, but Red is a very Shifty character. I'll miss him when he's gone!

Round 1
• Bofus
• Tomkin
• Tirion
• Red
• Mirrin
• Bluespawn Godslayer

Bofus is hoping one of his less squishy companinos will make himself a better target...so he'll wait for one of them to act first!

Tom pops on the other side of the creature. He smites the evil creature.
smite: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (12) + 22 = 341d8 + 20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 20 + 18 = 40
+4ac, +4 to hit vs bad guy

WOW he'sa big boy. DMHW let me knwo if/when you need more map mate ;)

Shifty, I could use a bit more room down the hallway. Thanks! : )

Not sure where Tirion is on the map, but Tirion will cast Haste which should get everyone at their current location. Tirion will wait for Mirrin to move closer in if necessary.

Fixed :)

ROUND

With Tom bamphing to engage the beast, and Tirion's Haste, Bofus knows he'll get no better time. He stabs with abandon!!

Attack: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 15 + 2 + 1 = 35
Sneak Attack: 1d4 + 2 + 5d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (3, 1, 6, 6, 5) = 24

Round 1

Turning to Red, the Bluespawn Godslayer declares,"You will be the first to feel Tiamat's wrath!"

Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (1) + 23 = 24
Damage: 3d8 + 12 ⇒ (3, 3, 7) + 12 = 25

Bite: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27 HIT!
Damage: 2d6 + 5 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) + 5 + (6, 1) = 17

The first mighty swing of the Godslayer's blade goes astray, but two more quick and powerful strikes slash into the Galtan bard. The fiend also snaps with his tooth filled maw biting into Red as sparks fly as the electricity shocks through his system.

Remarkably the bard remains standing.

Round 2

• Tirion (hp: 34/36)
• Bofus (hp: 53/53)

+2 added for flanking

ROUND 2

Dispensing with his usual banter, Bofus simply continues to grimly poke at the beast's most sensitive spots that he can reach.

Attack: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 2 + 1 = 37 <--THREAT!!
Sneak Attack: 1d4 + 2 + 5d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (5, 1, 3, 6, 4) = 23

Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 2 + 1 = 19
Sneak Attack: 1d4 + 2 + 5d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (4, 5, 4, 1, 2) = 19

Haste Attack: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 2 + 1 = 28
Sneak Attack: 1d4 + 2 + 5d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (4, 6, 1, 4, 5) = 24

Crit confirmation: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 15 + 2 + 1 = 35 <--oh hellz yeah

Due to his Butterfly Sting feat, the next melee attack that lands is a confirmed crit. Looks like Mirrin gets the benefit (assuming this guy is still standing--this is a LOT of damage this round...)

Bofus' first stab hits the creature on the inside of his thigh--sensitive enough to make him turn his head in rage--exposing his neck nicely for Mirrin...

Round 2
If it is still alive.

Tirion once more points his wand at the dragon thing, striking out with another ray of fire.

Standard: Use Wand of Scorching Ray (17 charges left)

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 vs Touch AC
Damage: 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 4, 5, 5) + 1 = 17 <-- fire damage

Round 2

• Tomkin delivers a holy assault that smites down the Godslayer. The ground shakes as the outsider lands upon the stone floor. (hp: 70/74)
• Tirion (hp: 34/36)
• Bofus (hp: 53/53)
• Red (hp: 26/94)
• Mirrin (hp: 73/87)
• Bluespawn Godslayer (195 damage taken!)

Out of Initiative

As the Bluespwan Godslayer bleeds out on the floor, you peer ahead to see a circular chamber dominated by a three tiered circular platform. Five sinuous stone dragon necks arc up from around the second tier, their heads turned upward to aim open maws at a pulsating hemisphere set in the ceiling above. Within each of the dragon's jaws glows a brilliant sphere of rapidly pulsating light, shifting from white to red to green to blue to black. The ceiling in this area rises to a thirty foot-high dome. An alcove to the north houses a ten-foot-wide shaft leading up through the ceiling.

Lower Fane of Tiamat

Red looks at his horrible wounds.

"Anyone have a bandage?"

"This is going to make a most exciting tale to tell! Red nearly dies, but survives enough to ask for a bandage. How thrilling! You must be making the High Wyrmlord rather angry if he is summoning one of Tiamat's Godslayers to take you out. I cannot believe I am here to witness this!"

"Hmmm, you make a valid point, we need to make sure you set the tale to the right music though"

I healed upthread before initiative was rolled proper.

Tom expends the last six charges of his wand to heal Red.
clw: 6d8 + 6 ⇒ (3, 7, 8, 6, 8, 8) + 6 = 46
