Rikar’s eyes go wide as Latys transforms into a wholly different creature, though he manages to keep his cool about it to some degree. ”I always say you’re full of surprises, girl, but this is really something.” He doesn’t have time to say much more before he’s flung at the glittering dragon before him! Drawing back his scythe as he flies, he swings over and over at the Nameless One!
Full attack (since my movement was provided by Telekinetic Charge), using ranger Quarry ability. I’m assuming the Nameless One is undead, if not, take out the Bane attack and damage bonuses.
Summary of Buffs on Rikar
Quarry (class ability): +2 on attacks, all critical threats automatically confirm
heroes' feast 14 temporary hit points. +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and Will saves and a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against poison and fear effects for 12 hours.
freedom of movement Allows normal movement even in spite of movement impeding magical effects, and subject auto-succeed to escape grapples/pins.
greater heroism +4 morale bonus on attack rolls, saves, and skill checks, immunity to fear effects, and temporary hit points equal to your caster level (14 in this case)
good hope a +2 morale bonus on saving throws, attack rolls, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls. (this supersedes the bonus from heroes' feast, but doesn't last as long.
weapon of awe +2 sacred bonus on damage rolls, and if the weapon scores a critical hit, the target of that critical hit becomes shaken for 1 round with no Saving Throw
energy resistance 30 to fire, cold, electricity, and acid
communal tongues improved invisibility air walk darkvision
Totals should be something like: 28 temp hit points, +4 on attack rolls, saves, skills checks, and damage rolls, +2 on ability checks.
I'm going to wait a bit to hear about how to post for Latys/Aurebaor, since there could be many differences. If Latys has been Aurebaor all along, then we should be able to do our usual flanking approach (if there's room), but I'd like to know how to play it.
Narrator[Maps, handouts, pictures: Links in top of page spoiler]
@All - Aurebaor (ie. Latys) is a gold dragon. She polymorphed herself into a big cat and faked it so she would be here with you at end. Also, the Nameless Wyrm is NOT undead, so no undead bane damage (I will remove the 2d6 from each of the damage rolls above. I provided the wyrm stats in the first combat post spoiler above, other than HP). You can resubmit your post if the glitterdust makes a difference as Misha was first up (Telman!).

Latys – or Aurebaor, as the Nameless One called her – shrugs off the effect of the unholy blight, and pays no mind at all to the massive wave of fire that washes over her. Just before Rikar hurtles through the air at their awful foe, Aurebaor extends a great claw and taps her long-time companion with it, granting him some protection in the fight. The mighty gold dragon then closes on the hated Nameless One.
Cast displacement on Rikar, then move action to get into reach.

RETRO
The wave of confidence Telman rides through the portal is quickly replaced with waves of nausea. As the companions scramble into action against the foe hiding somewhere in the darkness, he mutters "Oh no you don't ...." Suddenly a golden outline of the beast comes into being, and with a grim smile the archer says "Oh, thats better."
He centers himself, thinking about strong magical aura Therena's presence gives off. Looking to test the dragon he fits a single arrow to the string and fires. Then again. Then again.....

Note: Tuesday, Nana (aka wife, aka Carol) and I will be at Tanglewood on Parade all day, with barely phone only internet access, so no posting from me then.
The dragons quickened spell and fiery breath takes its toll on the group, but thankfully no one, excepting Therena summons, goes down from the onslaught.
Misha quickly moves away from the others to the edge of the cavern and casts a glitterdust spell on where she last saw the dragon, and while it is not sickened, the dust sparkles and the dragon is now easy to pinpoint.
Telman quickly fires five arrows at the creature that he is now able to see clearly, but only hits it twice.
Josef speaks an arcane word, and then he grows into a duplicate of Aurebaor and moves up to be in melee range of the Nameless one.(You did not take your move action, so if this is incorrect and you wished to stay back, let me know in your next post)
Therena moves to be behind some of the stalagmites in the cavern, and then casts a spell on Rikar which moves him at great speed to be next to the dragon as if he were charging.
On the way past him, Aurebaor touches the ranger with a claw and Rikar is also displaced. The dragon then moves to be within melee range of Nameless.
Suddenly next to his foe, Rikar swings six times, hitting twice, damaging Nameless.
Deciding that the small human next to him is the greater threat at the moment, Nameless bites and claws at Rikar, however the displacement throws off his aim and only one claw reaches the ranger.

DRB – Rikar’s max HP is 209, not 173. I thought I put that in my last post, but apparently didn’t. In any case, his current HP should be 36 higher as a result.
Rikar breathes a quick sigh of relief as Latys’ spell (Latys’ spell? That’s just a weird thought to have) causes all but one of the deadly strikes to miss. He does his best to hit more and harder than the dragon, with mixed results.
DRB – another thought, amidst all the complicated variables to track in this fight. Rikar is under improved invisibility (which actually means the displacement was unnecessary, but I didn’t know that, which is realistic). Since the dragon only has blindsense, it can’t see him, so it is denied its Dex bonus to AC. That may not matter for such a big creature, but I thought I’d mention it.
Unless the Dex issue causes more attacks to hit, that looks like 76 damage, since the fire damage won't get through. I'm kind of missing my Stealth Attack damage from flanking with my trusty animal companion...

Latys, now in her true form of Aurebaor the golden dragon, unleashes an incredible barrage of attacks at the Nameless One, forsaking subtlety and magic for sheer power!

Therena takes half a second to take stock of the whole situation before she flies up to behind Rikar. Rikar feels the faintest tug on his scythe from someone touching it as he swings it back. The scythe glows with a warm holy light, and Rikar feels it begin to pull itself towards the dragon on its own. Bless Equipment to give it bane dragons for three rounds
Then she swaps her quickened searing light for a quickened cure serious, giving Rikar 3d8 + 13 ⇒ (7, 1, 1) + 13 = 22 hp back (her true seeing negates the displacement).
Rikar also hears Therena whisper softly, ”Good luck, my friend. This has been a real joy.”
Is it safe to assume the Nameless Dragon has 20 feet of reach?
Misha runs to the other side of the cave where she can see past the dragons, and shouts, "It's time to make some noise!"
She casts ki shout at the dragon.
Caster Level check:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30

A bit frustrated that so few arrows penetrated the dragon's defenses, Telman breathes deep to settle his hand and focus. Being less reckless but enhanced with Therena's speed magic he puts arrows to string in a steady stream, all the while tapping into her energy again.
5' step closer, still not point blank range yet Swift Action for Casters Champion, +5 to damage (2 uses, 1 remaining) Full Attack, Haste, Manyshot, NO rapid:

Other than "Noah's Ark" rain (as my wife said) for an hour, and it soaked all our gear, Tuesday at Tanglewood was great. Spent all day yesterday drying stuff out and recuperating.
@All - Yes, it has a 20 foot reach. Nameless will take 2d6 bane damage for each hit from Rikar weapon and since Therena went before Rikar, I'll add that (see DM rolls).
Misha moves around the battle area, and getting into position where none of the team will be affected, barks at Nameless, damaging the dragon, but not stunning it.
Telman takes a step, and fires five arrows, and you hear his screaming curse throughout the cavern as only one arrow lands.
Josef attempts to strip Nameless of any spell protections that it has on, but his spell fizzles against the creatures resistance.
Therena flies up just behind Rikar, blesses his scythe, then uses a quickened spell to heal the ranger, and whispers goodbye.
Aurebaor unleashes all his attacks at Nameless, doing some significant damage.
Rikar swings at the dragon, and while he hits only twice, with the additional damage due to Therena spell, he hurts the creature.
Nameless roars, that two of his targets hurt him, but also the tiny aasimar woman healed one of them, so he slaps her with his tail while he full attacks Rikar with his bite and claws. Therena goes down and is bleeding out, while Rikar is clawed only once.
Next? Therena is at -3 HP. Roll your stabilize checks please.
Rikar your weapon has an additional +2 to hit and does an additional 2d6 damage for TWO more rounds only.

As Therena is laid low, Rikar cries out in a fury, "NO! You'll not defeat us, not after all we've been through to get here!" He attacks with blinding speed, and his second strike explodes in a ball of fire, which seems to do no harm to the Nameless One!
With Quarry ability, crit threats auto-confirm, so additional damage from crit is: Damage, PA, Flaming Burst:6d4 + 3d10 + 108 ⇒ (1, 3, 3, 1, 4, 2) + (1, 9, 3) + 108 = 135Total fire on the crit damage is 13, so none of the fire gets through resistance.
After fire resistance, damage from first hit is 52, from second (with crit) is 166, total this round is 218.
Misha looks with alarm as Therena is batted to the other end of the cave like a rag doll. "You'll pay for that!"
Misha sees the woman is still breathing as she lands. She decides she will help her as soon as she can, but focuses on other tactics, as she does not want to heal the woman minorly only to expose her to another attack, or risk them both trying to carry her away without preparation.
Taking advantage of the air walk spell upon her, Misha walks higher into the air, a little further back (walk 15 feet "uphill").
She then casts sonic form upon herself, becoming an incorporeal dwarven Misha made of visible sound waves. 17 rounds
Maintaining archeologist's luck
DRB--for future reference, but I am not attempting this now--I have the spell shadow step which is an illusion spell that allows instantaneous travel (but it is not a conjuration/teleport spell). The target is "you." If I pick up an unconscious person, can I use the spell to transport both myself and the person? Or would it still only work on me?

Yes. There is no limitation in the spell text, so as long as you can carry / lift the weight, you can "travel" with it.

Telman sees Misha assessing their fallen comrade, probably thinking though the same things he is himself. This one arrow at a time nonsense isn't helping the battle much so bringing Therena to her feet might help but minor amounts of healing she can provide would not be enough to protect her from the next blast. Inching forward he trusts Misha's instincts to continue fighting and tries yet again to break through the creature's defenses.
This time two of the arrows connect, and Telman chuckles as thinks Well, thats twice as good as last time, I suppose.
my CMW potion won't do much good so I'll miss it with arrows instead.
Misha, seeing that Therena is still alive, moves up into the air using air walk, and casts a spell on herself, becoming an incorporeal dwarven Misha made of visible sound waves.
Telman, coming to the same conclusion as Misha, fires arrows at the Nameless one, hitting twice this time.
Josef tries a cold spell, but the creatures natural resistance to spells is too difficult for him to overcome right now.
Therena, when she finishes her tumbling from the tail slap, stabilizes and stops bleeding out.
Aurebaor, continues her all out attack on the foe, but only damaging him a little.
Rikar however, even though he hits the creature only twice also, does critical damage with his second strike and wounds the creature.
Enraged at the damage done to him by the human with the scythe, Nameless full out attacks Rikar damaging him severely.

Badly wounded, Rikar holds off a moment to see if his friends have any better luck than Latys in harming the dragon, as he tries to gauge the thing's condition.
DRB - can we tell if the dragon is still fit as a fiddle, or is about to breathe its last? Being invisible, Rikar could safely get out of the fight for a moment, but I hate to flee unnecessarily, and I don't want Misha to be the next favorite target.

heck with it, Telmans pretty much a one-trick pony anyway
Ignoring the danger of clustering too close together Telman takes another step forward for a better angle on the glittering outline of the dragon. In seconds he runs through the various spells and trick arrows he has trying to come up with something clever. He comes up with nothing: wishing he could send an arrow through its hide as easily as he could send one through a stone wall won't make it so.
Seeing how prideful the beast has been and how wounded Rikar is the archer resigns himself to his fate as he tries to draw the thing's attention....

Misha sees the blood seeping from the dragon's wounds, and while distracted for seemingly much too long by the sound of Therena's thudding and Rikar's cries of pain, she realizes the most expedient way to help everyone is help this thing die as quickly as possible.
She cries, "For Fiall, for Dain, for Bromen, and for all the Athan people!" and, pulling out her swords, charges at it from mid-air. She brings down the blades, but rather than slash at it, she lets her sonic form reverberate as she jabs at the dragon, attacking it with pure sound.
Swift action for arcane strike, free to maintain archeologist's luck, Initiate charge as full action. The attack I will use is sonic form's melee touch attack, which deals sound damage. I believe since it is a melee attack I can add other regular bonuses I can add to melee.
Narrator[Maps, handouts, pictures: Links in top of page spoiler]
With Therena down, and Rikar badly wounded, the groups hopes are that you can bring the beast down before it kills Rikar and Therena with its breath again.
Before Rikar has a chance to act, Telman continues to pepper it with arrows, and Josef does minor damage with his breath weapon. Aurebaor bites and buffets the creature with a wing, but the coup d'grace comes from the bard as she charges the dragon in her sonic form, reaches out and touches it, causing the dragon to roar and reach back as if not believing it is defeated.
Then it smiles; (Nameless:) "I have been here for a millennia of millennia, since I slew the Wolf God, Gamageth at the beginning of time. The followers of the gentler gods have won the day. I move on to the next cycle of existence now." Then taking his last breath, "It feels right. I wish...... and his voice fades away, as your vision blurs and the dragon begins to decay, until finally all turns black.
Floating in air, and seemingly both weightless and heavy, you pass out. Suddenly you awake in a field to the north of the mountain. Everyone is as they were; Misha back in normal form, Therena healed enough to stand, and Aureboar still a dragon.
Surrounding you are dragons of every color and hue. At least one of the ten major types. Aurebaor stands and address the group; (Aurebaor:) "My friends, you have freed us from the dominion of the Dragon Lord. We will leave you in peace. Go with the thanks of all dragon kind in this land." He then turns to Rikar, "I was proud to travel with you" as he removes a scale from his side, and twists it into the shape of a horn. "Blow this if you need me for anything and I will come to you. Be careful, as it only works once." He then roars at the other dragons, both colorful and metallic and they all take to wing and leave.
Misha grips onto her hat as the wind from a thousand beating wings threatens to knock them all to the ground.
She looks around to be sure everyone is alright, and seeing that they are, she utters, "Is it really over? Really?" She looks around, fixing a look at everyone. "Well done all. Let's let this mountain sleep." She throws her arms wide and hugs any and all who will accept the gesture.
"I... we have report to make to the Pathfinder Society. A long one, which fortunately, I have documented I hope to their satisfaction." She holds up her journal.
"And then I have a sister to see, whom I dearly miss. But like half my family I am cursed with the worst thing possible, a lust for adventure. Should any of you ever want to join another expedition with me, you will be the top of my crew list. But as for this very moment..."
She drops her satchel and flops down backward onto the grass. "I am going to enjoy the feeling of the sun on my face."

Telman watches as the wyrms leave, his attention focused on the bronze one in remembrance of the tear he carried through the mountain and the luck it brought him.
As they fly away he continues to gaze up at the sky. Sky, not stone, is above his head for the first time in quite a while. He did not realize until this moment just how much he missed it.
Misha falls to the grass and Telman nods his agreement, taking a step away to take up a cover position, to patrol the perimeter as he always has. The old soldier stops himself and smiles.
"Maybe just this once, it's ok to let our guard down. For a moment." He slides his bow into the enchanted quiver and drops to the ground next to Misha.

Once the dragons are gone, Therena flops to the ground and rolls amid the wildflowers, laughing giddily. Waves of channeling emanate from her, healing burns and injuries. She then starts picking flowers by the dozens and braiding little crowns for everybody.

Rikar, badly bloodied, breathes a sigh of relief as Misha’s strike lays the Nameless One low. He drops his scythe to the ground before sitting down himself, his head back as he exults quietly in the defeat of such a great evil.
When he comes to in the field, finally back out in the open air, he marvels at how far they’ve come...and what Latys has become. When the gold dragon speaks to the group, and then gifts him with a horn crafted from his own scale, Rikar stands silent, overcome by emotion. As Aurebaor finishes speaking, Rikar lays a hand on the dragon’s neck and gives a firm double pat, just as he did many times a day to the great cat who fought at his side for so long. A tear slides down the Shoanti man’s cheek as he says, very quietly, ”Good girl.”
When the dragons fly off, Rikar watches in amazement, using the time to collect himself a bit before turning to his companions. ”My friends,” he says, his eyes warm with affection for them all, ” we’ve done a great thing here. As Latys, er, Aurebaor said, I am proud to have walked by your side. Just as Mishinika’s life calls to her, I have things I must do. I began this quest searching for my lost love, and I hope one day to find her, and perhaps to reconcile with my clan if the fates are kind. But I expect our paths will cross again in this world, and I shall be glad when they do.”

"Whew. I never, in my wildest dreams, thought this adventure would end up like that. A massive dragon of doom, and slain by your hands like that? Amazing. I admit, my magic was a bit underwhelming there, but I'm glad you we able to make up for my shortfalls. And now, with the prohibition against teleportation lifted, we can go anywhere in the world you might want!"
Josef drops his bags and unclips his blade from its baldric, then sits down heavily next to the group.
"But that can wait a bit, I think. For now, let's just have a rest, eh?"
