ROUND 3
Will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Since teh bugger flew by, I'll take the time to go ahead and open the trap door, then ready an action to shoot if he flies within 30 feet of me again--hoping for a sneak attack shot.

Will Saving Throw 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Matthias sees the great chromatic dragon and is shaken!

Reflex Saving Throw 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

However he still manages to resist some of the deadly acid that burns onto him.

Current Hit Points: 21/44

Round 3

Matthias will follow Thordak wherever he goes and nervously tries to channel the healing light of Sarenrae in a 30 foot radius around himself (as long as the dragon is not within that 30 foot radius).

"Sarenrae, now is the time, we need your healing light!"

Channel Energy 5d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 1, 2, 3) = 8

Hit Points after Channeling: 29/44

Round 1
Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Whisper: Well all, here goes nothing, time to start hurting this beast.

I cast Shocking Grasp(electric) using the Rod of Reach

Attack-Touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21 Range is 35 feet, the dragon appears to be within 35 feet right now.

Damage: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 1, 6, 6) = 25

Wow, now those are some fine rolls.

Forgot a Spell Resistance check: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 = 22

Round 2

Mantooth will run towards his friends as quickly as he can, trying to get to Matthias and Thordak for support. If Mantooth can get there quick enough, he will relieve Matthias of his shaken status using his Mercy.

Not sure where Mantooth is on the map, but he'd take the most direct path to the duo.

Round 3
AC: 30
Depending on where Mantooth is, he will still continue to reach Matthias and Thordak. If he crosses paths with the dragon, he will take the opportunity to attack using smite.

Magnimarana Attack 1d20 + 12 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 3 + 1 = 23 Smite + Matthias's bless
Magnimarana Damage1d10 + 7 + 5 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 5 + 10 = 29 Smite vs. dragon + Bull's Strength

Round 2 Summary

• Mantooth run north in his heavy armor trying to catch up with the others (move to CH40), but you realize that had you been faster you would have been blasted by the dragon's acid breath.

Round 3 Summary

• Hellhound - Moves south toward Thordak and breaths a burst of fire on both Thordak and Matthias. (Delivering 6 points of damage Reflex DC 14 for half).
• Jorr shots another shot of his arrow and nearly kills the hellhound.
• Mantooth continues running north for a second round and reaches BW40.

The dragon was not close enough for you to strike it. Your mercy is a part of lay on hands which is a standard action to perform. You have not had enough time for that yet.

• Ozyrrandion flies across the gorge and using a Flyby Attack it breaths a deadly spray of acid Breath Weapon over Thordak, Matthias, and the Hellhound delivering 39 points of damage (Reflex DC 20 for half damage.) This killed the hellhound.
• Thordak (unresolved)
• Bofus opens the trap door and readies an attack with his bow if Ozzy comes within 30 feet of him.
• Tirion casts Shocking grasp with his Rod of Reach and delivers the first damage on the dragon.
• Matthias channels energy healing Thordak and himself.
• Hobgoblins in the northern towers begin shooting arrows at Thordak and Matthias.

Ranged Attack @Thordak 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Ranged Attack @ Matthias1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

However, with the range they are shooting from clearly miss.

Round 4

• The Hellhound on the north side of the Skull Gorge pounds across the bridge to welcome the uninvited guests.

Bofus, although Ozzy is not within 30 feet at this time, you may shoot your readied arrow at the passing hellhound if you like. The drawback is that this would risk a chance of you being seen by Ozyrrandion.

From the top of the Tower, Jorr draws another arrow to his longbow and shoots at the Hellhound.

"If I cannae get the wee Hobbiegobbies, tha wee fire dug will dae!"

Ranged Attack 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Round 4

Ozyrrandion flies wide in an arching loop back around to the north side of the Gorge. Perhaps it is preparing for another deadly pass.

Battlemat

Whisper: This is going to be a very short battle for you three if you stand in one place and let that lizard dissolve you. Spread out so he c'not breath on you.

round 4

I'll take the sneak shot on the hellhound, then try to hide again.

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 <--dammit

Stealth: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (11) + 22 = 33

Whisper: What Tirion said. And, Matthias, now might be a good time for that fireball on the hobgoblin encampment .. . just sayin'.

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Ye can't scare me, ye big ugly lizard! Thordak spits. He is about to give the hellhound a good kick in the pants when the dragon flies over.
...uh oh... he says as the dragon swoops down to spray acid all over them...

Reflex:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 (hellhound) => 3 damage

Reflex:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 (Dragon) =>39 damage

Matthias Channel: => 8 hp

AAAgh! Thordak says, doing his best to wipe the caustic slime off himself. He nods to Matthias and moves toward the tower for some cover, shooting as he goes.

Crossbow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

He keeps moving toward the tower. He casts protection from energy on Matthias and resist energy on himself. Thordak gains DR10 Acid, Matthias gains DR12 Acid.
He also offers Matthias a potion. cure serious wounds
If ye'r gonna keep me alive, you'll need this!

HP: 29/60

Round 4

Lets slow these buggers down.

Cast Web centered at BL40/BK41 --> this should get a 40' stretch of the bridge and make it nigh impassable for a while.

I also move forward 20'.

"If ye'r gonna keep me alive, you'll need this!"

"Thanks, Thordak! I think I'll take it now!"

Round 4

Matthias takes the potion of Cure Serious Wounds and immediately drinks it.

Cure Serious Wounds 3d8 + 8 ⇒ (6, 1, 2) + 8 = 17

Hitpoints: 38/44

"Now to get a shot at that hobgoblin camp with the scorching flames of Sarenrae!"

He then drops the empty flask and runs across the barren landscape toward the edge of the Gorge (BS33) to get around the tower to be able to cast fireball at the encampment.

Round 3

• Thordak moves north toward the tower and then takes a shot at the passing Dragon. However the bolt misses.

Round 4

• The Hellhound on the north side of the Skull Gorge pounds across the bridge to welcome the uninvited guests.
• Jorr shoots the Hellhound and hits the fiery fiend.
• Mantooth (unresolved)
• Ozyrrandion flies wide in an arching loop back around to the north side of the Gorge. Perhaps it is preparing for another deadly pass.
• Thordak gives Matthias a potion and then casts Protection from Acid.
• Bofus takes a shot at the Hellhound, but clearly misses. However, you believe you are still hidden from the Dragon's view.
• Tirion moves forward 20 feet and casts Web on the bridge. This thick, stick mesh blocks the entire south end of the bridge.
• Matthias drinks a potion of Cure Serious Wounds and moves to BS33.
• Hobgoblins begin grabbing their weapons and mobilizing for an attack. The guards in the tower ready their bows for an opportunity to hit a target.

Round 5

• Hellhound. The lanky wolf with the fiery red eyes moves to BS39 and tries to rip into Thordak with its sharp teeth!

Bite Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Damage 1d8 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (4) = 6

• Hobgoblins (unresolved)

Round 5

"Aye, hae dae yae like this bite, yae manky dug?!"

Jorr reloads his bow and shoot again at the hellhound.

Ranged Attack 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 = 16
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Round 5

Move to CB43

Ready another shocking grasp if the dragon flies within range.

Spell Resistance Check: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 2 = 26

Attack-ranged touch: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 --> +1 if within 30'
Damage: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 3, 5) = 18

ROUND 5

Ready action to shoot the dragon if it flies within 30' of me (as I've given up my position vs. the hellhound and my non-sneak attack shots are pretty inconsequential).

my intention is to then dive down into the tower, and find another (different) vantage point to shoot something (dragon, hellhound, hobby, whatever) in a hide-and-seek faction.

Round 5

The angry and partly-melted Dwarf brings his axe down on the hellhound.

Glimdraath: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 1 + 1 = 32
Damage: 1d10 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 6 = 12

Round 4

Mantooth places a hand on the shoulder of Matthias, curing him of his shaken status.

Lay on Hands 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4 If it's possible to also heal

Round 5
Mantooth drinks the potion of fly and ascends 20 feet into the air and then flies closer to the bridge BS47

Round 5

Matthias moves closer to the edge of the gorge (BR30) and casts Fireball on the encampment (20 foot radius centered at AQ35 and AP36).

Fire Damage 5d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 5, 4) = 15 Reflex Save DC 18

Within a moment a great blaze is burning in throughout the encampment.

Ozyrrandion continues flying a great loop and then he zeroes in on Mantooth and goes in for the attack. With another Flyby its sprays its Acid Breath Weapon all over Mantooth.

Acid BreathWeapon @Mantooth 10d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 6, 6, 3, 6, 2, 5, 6, 6) = 48 Reflex DC 20 for half damage.

Battlemat

Round 4

• Mantooth lays hands upon Matthias and cures him of his shaken status.

Round 5

• Hellhound. The lanky wolf with the fiery red eyes moves to BS39 and tries to rip into Thordak with its sharp teeth! However, the creature is unable to get a solid bites.
• Jorr reloads his bow and shoot again at the hellhound. The arrow strikes a true and delivers a deadly blow.
• Mantooth drinks the potion of fly and ascends 20 feet into the air and then flies closer to the bridge BS47.
• Ozyrrandion attacks the flying Mantooth with a Flyby attack of his Acid Breath Weapon.
• Thordak kills the wounded hellhound with a single deadly swing of Glimdraath!
• Bofus - As a result of the web spell between the towers it appears to have stopped the green dragon from flying through the bridge itself. Consequently, the dragon does not come within 30 feet of you.
• Tirion readies another shocking grasp if the dragon flies within range. However, it appear to be just staying out of range.
• Matthias moves closer to the edge of the gorge (BR30) and casts Fireball on the encampment.

Collctive Reflex Saving Throw vs DC 18 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 Most however are unprepared and die on the spot.

Roond 6

Jorr moves to BL44 and begins shooting arrows at the hobgoblin in the north east tower.

Ranged Attack 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

"Aye yae coward! Git oot ane the open!"

Actually, you missed my move to CB43 which puts me within the 35' range of the Shocking Grasp w/Reach Spell, so the spell should have gone off where Ozzy is right now.

Round 6

I cast Magic Missile at the dragon if it is within 150'.

Spell Resisitance Check: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 = 22
Damage: 3d5 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4, 2) + 3 = 13

Unless the rest of you are really into dying, I would get some cover behind the towers. Then shift around and fire bows and crossbows when he passes by. He is going to keep lighting you up with his breath weapon otherwise.

Move Action -- I will hold off on this until after I know what Ozzy is doing.

Sorry about that, Tirion. I will fix that. Please tell me what the additional +2 is for on your SR Check.

+5 from level and +2 from the Spell Penetration Feat that Bofus talked me into - which I must say was a very good idea at this point.

EDIT: DMHW - how tall are the trees in the area around here? Meaning the deadish stumps that I am in.

Tirion, they vary from about 5 to 15 feet.

Round 6
Thordak gives the hound a kick and moves to the shelter of the tower nearest. There, he loads his crossbow.

Round 6
HP: 37
Reflex Save 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Though Mantooth is able to miss some of the acid, he is still badly burned by the dragon's breath. Shaking any acid off he can, Mantooth charges towards the dragon through the air, sword first to CA47. "You'll not escape the Inheritor's justice for that, vile lizard!"

Magnimarana Flying Power Charge Attack 1d20 + 12 + 3 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 3 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 25
Magnimarana Flying Power Charge Damage 1d10 + 7 + 5 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 5 + 10 + 4 = 33

Mantooth will adjust his altitude accordingly if necessary.

"You'll not escape the Inheritor's justice for that, vile lizard!"

Mantooth will adjust his altitude accordingly if necessary.

This will be interesting, the very fast but completely unmaneuverable dragon versus the slow but fairly maneuverable paladin.

Round 6

After being badly damaged by Magnimarana, Ozyrrandion quickly slaps his tail at the paladin as he beats his wings ferociously to turn completely around and hover in place to return the attack with bite and claws next round.

Tail Slap 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 25
Damage 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (1, 6) + 10 = 17

Fly Check to turn 180 degrees using 10 feet of movement. 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Fly Check to Hover in place. 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

In a deep and terrifying voice, the young green dragon says to Mantooth, "You will suffer my wrath for that attack, Knight!!"

Battlemat

Round 6

Matthias does a double move to BR38.

"How are you faring, Thordak? Are you wounded at all?"

Round 6
• Jorr shoots an arrow at the hobgoblin in the Northeast tower but misses.
• Mantooth charges the dragon through the air and delivers a deadly blow to the dragon with Magnimarana.
• Ozyrrandion slaps Mantooth with its tail and then proceeds to turn himself around and hover in place preparing to shred the knight to pieces in the following round.
• Thordak moves to BQ37 and reloads his crossbow.
• Bofus (unresolved)
• Tirion takes this moment to cast magic missile and delivers three quick arcane blasts that penetrates the dragon's resistance and damage the fiend.
• Matthias moves to BR38.
• Hobgoblins

Some of the remaining hobgoblins cross the bridge to approach the web.
The two hobgoblins in the towers attempt shots at Jorr across the gorge.

Ranged Attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Concealment 50% chance to miss (roll below 50 misses) 1d100 ⇒ 17

Round 7

Jorr continues shooting arrows at the hobgoblins. This time he aims for one crossing the bridge (BB41).

Ranged Attack 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Damage 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

"Hae! Wha dae yae call a hobbie with eleven arrows in it? Hehe! Nae daed enough!"

Seeing the dragon and Mantooth almost above me.

If the dragon is low enough and this is allowable, I would like to cast a Web centered at CE47/CF48. Or closer to the dragon to get as much of the dragon without getting Mantooth. According to the rules:

"These masses must be anchored to two or more solid and diametrically opposed points or else the web collapses upon itself and disappears."

I do not know whether the dragon with its size would count as a "solid" point or not. Obviously the trees would be the other points.

ROUND 6

Crap, I can't do much yet . . have to wait for my moment

I simply make an active spot check to determine the threat of the approaching hobgoblins. I'm ready to shoot at whatever is close enough to sneak attack (preferably teh dragon, but it doesn't look that way)

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Round 6

After being badly damaged by Magnimarana, Ozyrrandion quickly slaps his tail at the paladin as he beats his wings ferociously to turn completely around and hover in place to return the attack with bite and claws next round.
.
Tail Slap 1d20+13
Damage 2d6+10

Uh, DMHW--please note that Manatooth did, in fact, declare a Smite Evil on this dragon. That mkaes his AC +3--and I believe that tail slap was a miss!!

ROUND 6

Crap, I can't do much yet . . have to wait for my moment

ROUND 6--RETCON PLEASE??

active perception check is a move action. As a second move action, I'll retrieve the last dose of drow sleeping potion from my pack, if you'll allow this.

Round 7
HP: 37/61

Mantooth is easily able to dodge the dragon's poor excuse for a tail whip, taking another swipe at the beast and putting his full force behind it. Mantooth is completely undeterred by the dragon's words. "Flee now, dragon, or pay for your wicked ways with your life!"

Magnimarana Power Attack 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 1 + 3 - 2 = 26
Magnimarana Power Damage 1d10 + 7 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 5 + 4 = 23

Mantooth's AC is now 30 given his smite evil against an evil-aligned dragon and his protection against evil spell.

ROUND 7

Annoint one of my arrows with the Drow sleeping poison.

Prevent poisoning self: 1d20 ⇒ 8 vs DC 1 = success

Round 7

Ozyrrandion attacks Mantooth as he promised he would.

Bite 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26

Left Wing 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
Damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Right Wing 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

Damage 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (2, 2) + 10 = 14

Ozyrrandion flaps his wings and flies north.

Round 8
Mantooth moves up next to where Matthias is, lowering himself to the cleric's level BQ45. "Has the healing Dawnflower any strength to spare, friend?" Mantooth calls out before healing himself.

Lay on Hands 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9

HP:19/61

@Mantooth,

is a swift action for yourself, which essentially takes no time. You may still do a move and a standard action in the round.

ROUND 8

Damned lizard . . . come closer you big green bugger!!

*whisper* Mantooth, get him this way, we might be able to take some heat off you. Jorr, if you drop down, the hobbies'll get closer and make easier targets.

Move to BM38, staying out of sight

Stealth: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (9) + 22 = 31

Round 8

Run to BP38

We need to smurf this dragon. If we all stay closer together, then the archers can get shots. But stay far enough apart so that he can only get one of us at a time with that damn acid.
