Fair enough. Weapon of awe on KULIK's bow instead.

Sounds good. So 13 rounds later, Taurus downs his potion and reopens the door.

Wanted to acknowledge that I've seen you've got your count set, though Burglar, Tsar of the Sleepy Puppy Nation will be entering his Fortress of Napitude. Feel free to move the map pieces around and discuss any readied actions, placement things, and whatnot. Since everyone's right-out aware of everyone else, inits are likely gonna get rerolled once those doors swing open.

I moved people around on the map. Let me know if this doesn't work for anyone.

When the door opens I will be full defense and moving out. I am unable to see the map at work, so will be relying on you guys to tell me where I am for today.

The silence outside the door lasts it's full 24 seconds, followed by more, unexpected silence. Taurus throws open the door, and (surprise!) there's a copper dragon! He flies in place, above now very lumpy terrain that glistens in the light! He is taking large breaths, as if he was reading something, too, though door opening was basically surprise, following a round of drinking a fly potion!

Ashur rages again while moving up and gores him.

Miniinterrupt since Ashur goes first and that thing just happened:
Female Human Rogue 10 (hp 82/82) | F +7 R +11 W +9 | AC 24 T 15 FF 24 CMD 27
"Ashur, that is not the dragon. It is fake!" Erin yells out from the door while trying to locate the real threat.

Taurus delays until a real dragon is spotted.

Any further movement or standard actions from those who are Active Perception-ing?
Edit: I suppose it would be helpful if I let you guys know you see no dragons.

Since KULIK can't ready a full attack action, no; stuck on delay as well as Taurus.

Do I see the actual dragon? That will influence where I move.

Erin quickly moves outside, pushing her way past the tiefling to try and get eyes on the dragon.
15 feet west, 15 feet south.
Male Bear Burglar 1
The square Ashur is in is difficult terrain by both way of Grease and now malformed ground, though at least half of you can't fail that DC 10 acrobatics, so just a note that you'll get 10 south, not 15.

Mine. This breath weapon is unhelpfully vague. Post will be up later, back to work so expect posting to resume.

So, hopefully I dissected how cones work properly. Even if it's a 40 ft cone, it still hits like that with half the extra length, so, yeah. I didn't see any text about converting lines to cones. If there is, please direct it to me.
Just as the not-noisy visual illusion disappears, a familiar voice from higher up the tower yell/speaks very audibly. "Ha! You should listen to the woman, imp! The heavens smile upon Zonaladin for the destruction of a dumb hellspawn assassin space cultist!" An invisible figure cuts through the dust and circles around to the one side of the difficult terrain and lands. The dragon drops invisibility and looses the ever-familiar slow-gas breath, this time in cone form! He still has all wounds he had earlier (unless Kulik wants to heal him more, do ho ho.)
I need a Fort and a Will. Will is vs Fear. If you saved before on the Will, you're good.
Map, Cant update the googledoc map, but feel free to if you want to use that one.
Female Human Rogue 10 (hp 82/82) | F +7 R +11 W +9 | AC 24 T 15 FF 24 CMD 27

KULIK already made the Will save.

Taurus flies up and around onto the dragon's northern side.
Other actions pending AoO.

Ashur moves to the other side of the difficult terrain beelining for the dragon and gives him the horns.

1d8 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23

Taurus has inherently rendered himself immune to most of the CM tactics by both flying and not using a held weapon. I guess it's just bite time, then.
Bite, fatigue, neg lev, Power Attack: 1d20 + 21 - 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 21 - 1 - 1 - 4 = 352d6 + 10 - 1 + 12 ⇒ (5, 3) + 10 - 1 + 12 = 29
Confirm time: 1d20 + 21 - 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 21 - 1 - 1 - 4 = 352d6 + 10 - 1 + 12 ⇒ (5, 6) + 10 - 1 + 12 = 32
Shoanti are delicious.
Math help: 32 + 29 = 61

Erin draws an alchemist's fire... in slow motion.

Just like Baywatch, just... without the water. Or bikinis. And there's a dragon.

Taurus has been critically hi— er, bit. Ouch.
KULIK comes off delay, activates Double Judgment (sacred Justice +2 and sacred Resistance: acid 6), takes a five-foot step toward the dragon, and uses a full-attack action with Point Blank/Precise/Rapid Shot.

LOL.
After being bitten fiercely, Taurus continues his movement away from the dragon and draws another potion.

Round 1 after breath attack
Taurus leaves his delayed stance, and flies towards the dragon! The dragon may very well have chunked off a few armour spikes with how successful the attack was! The warrior then bravely runs away and draws another flask!
---
Ashur trudges forward, taking advantage of the opponent's flying distraction! His attack misses, however, in no small part to the still-going invisible shield of force!
---
Kulik fires a number of arrows, now that his Shoanti ally is out of the way! One connects!
---
E r i n - d r a w s - a - v i a l.
---
The dragon full retreats to right above the tower door!

Taurus, Ashur, Kulik, then Erin

Taurus moved away-away. As in, well outside attack range.
Edit: Sorry, been busy with meetings all mornings or I would have moved myself earlier. I moved Taurus on the map now so it should be clear what I meant.
Male Bear Burglar 1
Yeah, I misread it. It's all fixed now. The lack of map edit confused my easily confused brain.

Ashur draws and drinks a potion of Fly.

I presume, with the description of the dragon's move, KULIK can't five-foot and full attack again. If he can, that's what he'd do instead.
KULIK moves outside the tower opening (alongside Erin, if possible; he has 40' of movement), activates his Bane ability as a swift action, then lets another arrow fly.

Attack 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 (Shaken, Touch)
Damage 1d6 ⇒ 1
Please subtract range increments from the above. I cannot see the map and do not know how high off the ground it is.
Erin lobs an alchemical vial at the dragon, hoping it has some effect.
Male Bear Burglar 1
I'm constantly running on the assumption the googledoc map is accurate, barring my own and Erin's daytime input. If this wave of actions is inaccurate, let me know and note when you can't update the map.
Round 2 after the breath attack! Oh, Erin failed the slow. I didn't roll that. My bad. Slow Rounds: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 Fear Rounds for Most!: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 1, 2, 6) = 18 Fun with potions citation!
Taurus drinks something that someone was kind enough to give him! He is way too far away to bite again, though.
---
Ashur draws a potion, and moves to imbibe it! The dragon will bite at the potion, in an attempt to make the tiefling have wasted 750 gp!
Bite: 1d20 + 21 - 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 21 - 1 - 1 - 4 = 342d6 + 10 - 1 + 12 ⇒ (5, 1) + 10 - 1 + 12 = 27
Confirming for overkill: 1d20 + 21 - 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 21 - 1 - 1 - 4 = 342d6 + 10 - 1 + 12 ⇒ (3, 5) + 10 - 1 + 12 = 29
Ashur, your potion takes 27 + 29 = 56 points of damage.
---
Kulik runs outside, and being the first person to actually use a held weapon. If only the dragon hadn't already swung at the first opening! Kulik's arrow connects!
---
E r i n - t h r o w s - t h e - f l a s k , - a n d - h i t s ! - I t s - 1 - d a m a g e - i s - e f f e c t i v e ! Even forgetting the -1 from slow and applying 2 increments of penalty, it's mighty mighty touch of 10 is still hit.
---
The dragon, unhappy that someone is using an effective ranged weapon, flies above Kulik and attempts to take his bow with his mighty 10-ft reach bite!
Disarm, fatigue, neg leg: 1d20 + 23 - 1 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 23 - 1 - 1 = 36
I don't see any weapon cords or locked gauntlets on your sheet, so this should work. The dragon grabs Kulik's bow in his mighty jaws, which aptly prevent him from biting, but also prevents Kulik from shooting more!

Taurus drinks the product of another four hours of work and then flies back around and up.
Twenty feet up.

Ashur Glaber wrote: Wait, he's melee-able? I thought he was more than 10 feet high. He's meleeable if you have lunge or a weapon with reach (since his bite has 10 feet of reach). As shown in the drawing picture, the doors are roughly 1/3 his size. I'm assuming the illustration is for high tier, so the door should be 1/3 his size at 5 feet tall, since they didn't make them Small-sized doors. You'd be well aware of the situation IC, though, so you can alter your action. Note you're in difficult terrain.

Is it possible to pick up Kulik's bow from where I am and hand it back to him? Not sure if the dragon retained possession of it or not. If not I will be handing him my shortbow. It is nothing special, but it is something to attack from range with.
Also, he did not take a full round action to put out the flames, so burning the dragon again for 1d6 ⇒ 5 damage.
Male Bear Burglar 1
The dragon burgled the bow. His mouth is also now occupied by the bow, so one does not need to worry about Reach attacks.
