Raen makes a mental note to thank Vael later for providing her magical protection!
Raen urgently returns the favor to the drakes. She flings a Fireball at the nearest pair.
AND THEN follows that with a quickened fireball!

Doxon weathers the icy blasts as the fire of Torag's Forge burns within his soul.
Seeing his frost covered friends lying on the ground, Doxon gathers the fire burning within him and sends it radiating outward to provide them succor.
He then slowly shuffles along the ice to confront the drakes.
Doxon brings life to his comrades. Though they're still on the floor, with blood quickly freezing into macabre outlines, they are alive!
For now.
The drake in the back lunges forward with shocking speed. It makes an immediate go at Raen, bringer of fire. , but bites only an image.
Hamilton has no such protection, and teeth and tail fill his vision:

Ham ducks the jaws and rolls right into the sweeping tail, which rings his bell and he staggers to straighten up. As much as he wants a piece of thing thing, he trusts his allies and knows that more than anything else... They need time.
Ham activates the powers of his armor and grows to giant size.
Bite me now, Lizard!

Damage:+Fire.
Vael changes his chant, though the intonation and popping sound he makes, as if mimicking a crackling campfire, continue. With a final gesture a column of divine fire appears, burning the nearest drake.
He then moves forward, longspear ready.
Whatever retort was headed back to Raen is replaced with a cry of agony: . Still the drake manages to avoid the worst of it, eager to bring death.

Pig wakes up to the sound of battle and cold as hell. He's shivering and he it takes a moment to remember what happen. "Damned drakes heard us approach. Gotta do better next time..." His brain then switches to Cleo and he sees her covered in ice but alive! She seems ok...
WP stands up but his muscles react more slowly than his used to and there is ice all over his giant nail armor. He takes a moment to see that Ham is much better than usual and there's more Raens than he last remembered. Things aren't quiet making sense to him but the large blue drake makes sense: Kill it before it kills everyone else.
Pig takes aim and lets a bullet fly:
Doxon once again calls on Torag's blessing and closes with the drake.
Whistle Pig grabs his sling and stands up He scores a hit on the drake!
Doxon continues to bring Torag's power to bear, and crushes the drake's ribs

Ushyle, daring not stand up in the face of the drake, decides to try and help his companions.
The shock of going unconscious and reawakening with the drake breathing over his head is too much to endure, and he loses the spell.
Ushyle loses his spell!
The drake before you lashes out at both Vael and Raen in a fury of vengeance:
Image destroyed.

Raen sheds another image as she retreats further. She smiles lightly at the arrival of the newly obsessed drake, and bends matter to her will to imprison the other. Shards of ice from the drakes' breath fly upwards and conjoin around the drake, encasing it in 10 inches of solid ice.
Raen steps back and encases the drake in ice! The drake, ironically, is trapped by the very element it commands!

Ushyle cracks a smile when the drake before him is encased in ice, but the smile drains away quickly as the remaining dragon creature moves toward Raen after she sounds the drakesbane horn. He knows from first-hand experience that the Varisian won't be able to withstand the creature's fury...but the creature is out of his reach.
The panic welling within him, he instinctively reaches for Milani's Thorn at his side, and his hand falls on its hilt as though guided there by The Everbloom herself. Ushyle has no time to dwell on that minor miracle at the moment, though, as he desperately tries to find away to thwart the assault, to protect Raen, and to protect the rest of the party.
The panic he feels crests like a wave, the force of which practically drags him to his feet with Milani's Thorn acting as lead horse, at the same time the familiar rose-red hue washes over him and his mind, almost unbidden, swirls an incantation about that tumbles out his lips in a single breath, and he finds himself next to the beast with his blade ready to strike!
By the bloody rose of Milani! he cries as Milani's thorn slashes down!
Ushyle's gifts, both divine and self made, keep him safe. He scores a cut on the drake's belly, but shockingly the drake doesn't fall.
Cracks begin to form in Raen's Icy Prison
With a screech the drake bursts forth, unharmed by the ice!
The drake enslaved by the horn lashes out at Raen, trying to get hold of the horn.
Image gone.

Hamilton crows for Ushyle, but quickly notices that the remaining drake is preparing to breathe again. With the fields covered in ice, he knows he can't get there in time. Cursing, he drops his warhammer to the ground, and it shrinks to normal size. Ham draws his short bow, draws, and fires, while taunting the drake, hoping to draw it's attention. He spits another curse--the shot is difficult with his friends darting around the creature.
Short Bow +2:
damage on a hit.
Over here, lizard! Tiny newt! Pretender! A real dragon would face me!
Seeing the impending breath attack of the drake, Vael begins a chant to the Spirits of Life. He sees how tenuous a hold that brave, foolish Ushyle has. When he finishes, the shaman's hands glow with a white, positive energy. "I got ye, friend. No death for ye this time."
He then looks to Whistle Pig and says, "Get back! As far away as ye can!"

WP knows the end is near for his friends. He sees the Wurm opening his mouth to breath cold death on all of them. He remembers the bomb he got way back when this all started. He reaches into his haversack and pulls out the bomb and hurls it at the drakes mouth.
It strikes the beast square in his open mouth and EXPLODES!! covering it in magical flame.
Seeing the drake ready to breathe death on the party, Doxon calls on Torag's might in the hope of killing the beast before.
He then brings all the celerity he can muster to rain hammer and pick down on the drake.
Whistle Pig hurls the goblin weapon at the drake. The frost drake's expression, if you can call it that, seems to pay it no heed.
Until it explodes.
The fire seeps into the drake's wounds and immolates the creature. A moment later all is quiet.
Breathing heavily, Ushyle gives a weak smile to the halfling. Excellent job, little one! Top notch, TOP NOTCH!
Ha gives a heartfelt thanks to Vael as well, and to Raen for her fireballs, though he does not meet her eye as he speaks.
Once he is sure everyone is okay, he sets about with Hamilton to search the cavern.
After everyone takes a breather, Ham searches the caerns with Ushyle. But I'm more concerned with tracking.
Can I get a number of distinct sets of tracks? I'm concerned we're either missing a drake or there may be more out on patrol.
If you need another roll, I'm at +19 in this terrain.
For tracking, Ushyle and Whistle Pig auto-assist.
After catching your breath, the trio begins looking around the cavern. Hamilton concludes that there are definitely only four of these drakes. In the lair proper is a modest hoard of treasure!
Hamilton also spots something strange in the ice. After consulting each other and wiping away some of the whiter rime, a section of the cavern wall that is actually ice, not stone. Behind which appears to be a worked tunnel...
Ham examines the rope, and tosses it to Raen.
Raen, what do you make of that? It's too well crafted, and too short. Is it enchanted?
Ham uses his flaming warhammer and starts melting and breaking the ice, looking to clear a path.
