Dragonlance: Heroes of a New Age

Game Master Shalafi2412

Sorry there was a mix up on the types. Brass Dragons create Baaz, not Copper and copper dragons create Kapaks. So just adjust the colours as needs be.

Round 1

Baaz Draconian Initiative 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Kapak Draconian Initiative 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14
Bozak Draconian Initiative 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Cole initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

The Baaz look rather distracted licking their lips at the Kender so are slow to react while the Bozak and Kapak draconians turn a gaze to the coming noise. The Bozak yells in draconic, "More prey! Attack them! Kill them!"

Jor gets off his horse and takes position on the ground preparing for combat.

The Bozak reacts. He points his hand at Gabriel and says some magical words and two magical bolts of force shoot out and strike him for 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 2 = 10 damage.

Mithas then twangs the closest Baaz draconian with an arrow, hitting it solidly in the back, he hisses in pain. Gabriel then reacts by charging forward and shoving a lance through the Draconian. The lance pierces right through the Draconian. It gasps and then dies and then its body turns to stone. Make a reflex save DC 12 or have your lance stuck in the dead Baaz Draconian.

Cole then reacts he dismounts from the horse, points a hand at the Kapak closest and tries to use a force missile ability. But as he's new to this its a concentration check

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

And sucessfully gets the spell off doing 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 damage

The Kapak's act next. They take move actions to lick the tips of their arrows and then shoot at Gabriel and Jor.

Kapak Arrow Shot Gabriel: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Kapak Arrow Shot Jor: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Just so you know I am buffing up the attributes for Draconians in this game. Their stats are absolutely pathetic in the book. They don't even look like they were built with the standard NPC array. As they should be more threatening I am giving them Heroic Array stats.

One arrow strikes Jor for 1d8 ⇒ 7 damage and give me a fortitude save.

Althea summons her fire elemental and it appears in front of her ready to take her orders.

Terevalis overcomes the spell resistance of the Kapak draconian (As he is the next closest target) and the Kapak makes a save 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 and barely fails to resist (As its DC 15 due to the moon position)

The Kender misses with the bow attack on the Draconians. As for the Baaz they move to attack. One Baaz leaps from a rock he was standing on and does a gliding charge (Draconians with wings have a glide ability and he was elevated on a rock so I'm saying he could charge using the rock as leverage) at Jor and takes a swing at him with his longsword.

Baaz Sword Swing: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

He hits for 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 sword damage on Jor.

The other Baaz charges the Kender and takes a swing with his longsword.1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

He does 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 damage if he hits.

Round 2 Start

The small rocks do not impede movement. The big rocks however count as difficult terrain.

Round 2

Initiative 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Alathea directs the Fire Elemental to attack the Bozak Draconian, the same one which injured Gabriel with magic.

Alathea then Channels Divine Energy to heal her Comrades in arms, shunting out the Draconians from the benefit 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3) + 1 = 7

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 Close, wipes forehead

Round 2

Focus down the one on the Kender I will take out this archer. Thank you Alathea.

With his lance safely still in hand Gabriel spurs his mount on to ride down the archer.

Gabrile looks in to the Kender and the Draconian attacking her.

Leave that one alone beast. Your fight is with me.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (4, 2) + 8 = 14

Round 2 | Initiative 18

Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

"Say your prayers damn mutt, learn your place" Jor retorts with agner to the Baaz Draconian and counter-attacks back with a full swing towards its torso, repaying the charge attack

mwk Greatsword PA: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Damage PA: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (6, 6) + 12 = 24

HP: 28/35 (-14 damage, +7 healed)

Jor resists the Paralysis and gives a resounding blow to the Draconian in front of him. The Draconian takes a massive wound across its torso but is still barely alive from the blow as being a dragon man he is more resilient than your average human.

The Bozak decides to hold his action and assess who is the more dangerous threat.

Gabriel charges and lances the closest Kapak, wounding him badly with his lance attack.

The Bozak seeing this decides he needs to take down Gabriel and fast. He moves in and points his hand at Gabriel and utters some magical words. A Ray of Red Hot fire shoots from his outstreched hand.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Gabriel is struck with a beam of fire doing 4d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 1) + 1 = 11 fire damage. (Spell was Scorching Ray)

The Kapak drops his bow, takes out his shortsword and then 5 foot steps in and takes a stab at Gabriel.

Short Sword Stab: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

His sword fails to penetrate Gabriel's armor.

The other Kapak draconian stands around dazed from the spell cast by Terevalis.

Cole responds by casting another Force Bolt at the Kapak doing 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The Fire elemental double moves towards its target, the Bozak Draconian.

The badly injured Draconian attacks Jor with a longsword and bite combo. Longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19, Bite: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8 hitting Jor with his blade doing 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 damage

The other draconian does a longsword and bite on the Kender. Longsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22, bite: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (12) - 1 = 11

hitting with his longsword for 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Round 2 : Initiative 7 (+4 Dex)
Hp: 22/29

Athola feels the blade of the strike her side causing sharp pain being experienced signalling to her that this Baas means business. She drops her bow to unsheathe her rapier, and jabs at the baaz.

Rapier attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Weapon reflex save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20 if needed

Round 2 Iniative 9

The elf will cast acid splash at the baaz, moving up to get a better iew.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
1d3 ⇒ 3
Spell Resistance 1d2 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 4 = 8

Athola wounds but does not kill the Draconian.

Mithas does a double shot with his bow at the Kapak draconian that is dazed.

Shot 1: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 2 = 15
Shot 2: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 2 = 20

The second shot hits for 1d8 ⇒ 6 damage

Round 3 Starts

Round 3 - Initiative 9

Alathea will call out to Gabriel, "Ride back through!"

Alathea will try to wait for Gabriel to come through her area again so he can receive the benefit of her Divine Energy.

Channel Energy 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 3) + 1 = 10

Terevalis tries to cast a spell at the Baaz but it fizzes has the dragon's magical resistance kicks in.

The elf will curse that his magic had no impact on the baaz.

How beat up does it look?

Round 3 | Initiative 18

"You are seriously getting on my nerve. Get down and stay there" and Jor swings his greatsword down with his muscles bulging under his shirt

msw Greatsword PA: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Damage PA: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (1, 4) + 12 = 17

HP:32/35 [-6 damage, +10 healing]

Don't you have the magical greatsword that was goblin bane?

Round 3 : Initiative 7 (+4 Dex)
Hp: 18/29

With another hit of the sword, she jabs once more at the Baaz to bring it down.

Rapier attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Weapon reflex save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 if needed

Ya, I have it. Just +1 to damage but Jor is fighting with his msw Greatsword as he would deem it more worthwhile in this situation. No need to risk the weapon plus if he have to, he can just equip it later.

Jor swings down with his greatsword cutting partially decapitating the Baaz and cutting into its body. The body turns to stone threatening to trap Jor's weapon inside its body. Reflex Save DC 12 or lose your weapon Jor.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Seeing draconians body turning to stone Jor removed his sword as he kicked the falling body to help with removing

How many draconians are left per type?

There are 2 Kapak, 1 Baaz and 1 Bozak left. Just waiting on Gabriel as his action will affect what the others do.

We should be happy there are no sivaks or auraks. I really like draconians though but not to sure how I feel about the noble draconians.

Round 3

"Alathea sorry no time. Advance and help the Kender she is wounded."

Gabriel takes the bolt of fire in stride and eyes the beast in front of him before charging off to the one swinging the sword on the Kender.

Charge Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Damage: 2d8 + 8 ⇒ (8, 7) + 8 = 23

"The fates smile on you for a few more moments. You will taste my steel."

LOH: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 1) + 4 = 10

Sorry long lunch, going to have cake for bosses birthday now, be back in a few.

Round 3 Iniative 9
That spell casting bozak will be the death of the knight and us, thinks the elf.

Drawing the spellcomponents from a pouch he attempts a spell he has never cast before, a spell he learned from Sheylin's spellbook.

Radiant dart

Radiant dart will do 1d4 pts of damage per missile, at this time only one with a range of 100+ 10 ft per level. If it goes through his SR he will be dazzled for 1 round per hit point of damage. Ranged Touch attack,

Ast trnir read dreand shirak
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 ranged touch attack
1d4 ⇒ 3
1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 2 + 4 = 23 spell resistance check

Unfortunately Gabriel's change in direction disorients him and the lance goes wide from the target. The Kapak also takes a swing as he moves out of his reach.

Kapak Short Sword Attack 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

The sword does not penetrate his armor.

The Bozak Draconian seeing an opening gives an evil smirk and decides tries to defensive cast a spell.

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 Defensive Cast

His left hand crackles with electrical energy which he then takes a 5 foot step up and touches at Gabriel.

Touch Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 3 = 28

And he succeeds as a surge of electrical energy surges flows through Gabriel doing 4d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 5, 6) = 18

OUCH!

My combat stats are in my profile. 1 attack: +7-1, 1d8+2, 2 attacks +6-1/+6-1, 1d8+2/1d8+2, add +1/+1 if within 30feet.

Round: 3 Init 16
Hp 26/26; AC 19/18T/15FF; CMD 21
+5F/+6R/+7W
Buffs:

Mithas moves closer to the fight. (double move)

The Kapak draconian still pissed off that he took a lance through the body decides to move up and start stabbing Gabriel. Gabriel gets an attack of opportunity as he moves in a way to flank with an ally. Fortunately he cannot poison his weapon at the same time. He tries to acrobatics to avoid an Attack of Opportunity

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 5 = 22

Still this does not stop the Draconian who goes for a rib strike with his short sword.

Attack Roll Short Sword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Unfortunately for the Kapak he can't get a good upward stab into an unarmored area of the body.

Unfortunately Terevalis is blocked by many obstacles in the way and fails to hit with his radiant dart against his target (Shooting into melee and through allies.)

The other Kapak draconian not liking Mithas licks an arrow and shoots at him.

Arrow Attack Kapak: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

But the arrow misses.

Round 4

"Your magic isn't strong enough wizard, I see you are the eager one to taste my blade."

Gabrile drops his lance and draws his sword to attack the mage draconian.

Swift Action Smite

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Attack Confirmation: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

So I guess Draconians count as evil dragons? If not then the damage will be 6 less.

"For Solomnia. Alathea we could use your priestly might for some healing up here."

Here is a Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 If he blows up.

Wow string of 19's bad stuff is probably in my future :)

In Round 3, did my elemental attack the Draconian DM? I did not see its attacks, unless I need to control my own Summoned Creature. If so he should also be threatening the Draconian if he is casting spells...

Is Round 4 now up?

I guess so since everyone has already acted

Round 4 | Iniative 18

Jor seeing that one of the enemies moved to flank Gabriel, he decided to take one of them down.

Taking a step back to gather a bit speed and then rushing towards one of the draconians, his Greatsword lifted high above him to bring it down on its head

mwk GW PA Charge: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 2 = 20
Damage PA: 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (5, 4) + 12 = 21

HP 32/35 | AC 13 [-2 AC]

5-foot step [no action] | Full-round action: Charge

Wait,in Round 3 the Elemental should have attacked the Bozak, that may effect the outcome of Gabriel's Round 4 actions.

Round 4 iniative 9

Pulling out some sand from a pouch and focusing the spell so it only gets the bozak.

Last trnsr red dumor

SR 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7

I hope the 36 damage kills the Bozak, you should probably cast at another.

Well lets get things sorted first but that's one hell of a blow

Cole force bolts the Kapak for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 damage.

The fire elemental double moves in to engage in combat with the Bozak Draconian as ordered.

The Baaz draconian attacks the fire elemental with a sword attack. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

As for the fire elemental it only arrived on turn 3 as it had to double move twice to reach the combat but no matter he did a defensive casting so he would not of provoked anyway

Round 4

Jor runs forward toward the fight and smacks the Kapak draconian in the back slicing its spine open. It howls in pain and then starts melting away into a puddle of acid and quickly starts dissolving what he is carrying

The angered Gabriel calls upon the might of Kiri-Jolith and smites the evil Bozak striking down from his steed with a mighty blow across the neck of the creature cleanly removing the head from the body of the creature. The body shrivels up however and then explodes in a shower of sharp bones for 1d6 ⇒ 1 to Gabriel, the Kender and the Baaz Draconian. The head dissolves into ash as well.

usually a save of DC 14 for 1/2 damage but it can't do less than 1 anyway. And yes Draconians count as Dragon, it even says it in their profile so smiting them does extra damage

Round: 4 Init 16
Hp 26/26; AC 19/18T/15FF; CMD 21
+5F/+6R/+7W
Buffs:

Mithas fires at the Draconian off to side (Kapak?)

Twang: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 - 1 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 1 = 10
Twang: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 - 1 = 26
Confirm?: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 - 1 = 8
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8

The arrows of Mithas strike the Kapak twice and he falls backwards to the ground and melts away into a pool of acid.

Anyway the Baaz draconian seeing his boss decapitated and exploded with a single blow as well as everyone else in his band slaughtered drops his sword and puts his hands up in surrender. The fight is over.

Alathea trots up on her horse and unleashes another wave of healing energy again leaving the Draconian out of the benefits of the attack but including the Kender.

Channel Energy 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 4) + 1 = 10

"What is your name Draconian and what are you doing out here in the middle of nowhere ambushing lone travelers?"

The Draconian looking stern but still obviously shaken by the events says in common with a raspy lizard voice, "Me? I Vezoth once mercenary for the Neraka Knights. They stopped pay so Sudreth ordered us to to make money elsewhere. We get money by robbing travellers in the desert. Thought Kender would be good eating and have money."

The Draconian does not seem very bright intelligence wise. He barely has a grasp of common.

He will forego his spell.

"A mercenary eh? Jor, would you like to recruit this one for your company?" she grins half serious.

As the party talks to the baaz the wizard will cast detect magic.

A laugh escapes from Jors lips and smile forms as he looks at the draconian "Well, a bit afraid it is not really possibility. All about nature and race, I am afraid although not unheard. Brass Tigers however do have some code with recruitment" as Jor contemplates with the idea but abandons it

"Well what do we do with it? It surrendered so, perhaps we just let it go? I am not sure we could trust it to serve us as a mercenary".

Terevalis detects no magical items just some lingering magic from the death thrones of the Draconians the group killed. As for equipment the Baaz have chainshirt, longsword, small steel shield and a dagger on them. The Kapak's armor and equipment are corroded by acid so only their short swords and the bow the Kapak dropped are salvageable. The Bozak has a longsword, dagger and padded armor that exploded when he went boom. As for money you find only about 30 steel on them altogether which seems like an oddly small amount.

The Draconian nods to Alathea says, "Yes Vezoth go, go far from here if you let Vezoth go. Me go back to Teyr, be with other draconians."

Ask him where the rest of the treasure is.

"They are here in the desert, they must have a camp close by. We can let him go with enough water to make it back to Pashin. Know this dragon, there are those in the world that will still have justice for those who choose the corrupted path of thievery. If we cross paths again and you are doing ill upon people my justice will be swift. Tell us where your camp is."

The Draconian cringes as he had hoped you wouldn't bring it up and let him go. Being threatened he nods and says, "Camp not far from here. Over that way." He points in a direction. "You let Vezoth go now? You not going to kill Velzoth?"

Show us your camp draconian. What other travelers have you waylaid and murdered?

"Velzoth kill many things, it what Velzoth do best. Know where camp is. Show you where if you don't kill Velzoth."

"You lead us to the camp and you may live through this."

For the record, I don't care if we let him go or kill him.

Alathea is a bit conflicted. The Draconians, though unnatural are part of the balance of Krynn. She would not want to see one slain out of hand, despite the fact that he would probably do so to her. Part of her almost wishes to bring him along and see if time around races who are not "inherently evil" would shift how he acts.

Still sitting on her pony, looks around at the mess of dead draconians, then looks at the strangers who saved her, then speaks, "Thank you for saving me. I sure I would have been a meal for them even if I handed over my purse."

She moves towards the group and draconian. "I am Athola, the Watcher. Just travelling the world. Though currently heading north. May I travel with you, seeing I under estimated how danger the desert is?"
