"Ohh she never saw that one coming!", laughs Ikrimah, who seems to be thoroughly enjoying the show.

CMB: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 Shikyo attempts to get free of the web Nope

Ignore the disappearing act.

Feet pounding the floor, Sulakta throws herself towards the one who blinded her, and lashes out with a huge stony fist connecting solidly!

Everyone is up!

CMB: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Shikyo wrenches himself free and moves to flank the statue.

Alwyn moves a bit further south from the stone guardian and tries a bunch of arrows before he starts to sing again next round.

Wow I just realized that blindness is utterly crippling for Sulukta. She looses 9 AC from it!

Alywn shoots a flurry of arrows at the statue. One bounces off her stony hide, but three connect solidly knocking out chinks of stone.
Dmg because Alwyn forgot Aura of Prescience: 1d6 + 3 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 3 + 2 = 13

Master Bvar lofts a couple of arrows just after Alywn, the first misses, but the second hits solidly causing hairline cracks to form down one of her forearms!

PS Alwyn you can't full attack and move that far. I moved you 5' instead.

Pratavh continues to project the images of the immediate future to his allies and then bent the forces of the void to revealing the weaknesses of the faltering statue and quickly moves from the statues reach.

Free: Maintain Aure
Standard: Reveal Weakness, -4 ac and saves for the statue.
Move: Moved away from the statue already and adjusted teh aura's position to match.

thanks switched as I was writing and forgot about that as well as the evil_bane 2d6's on the damage attacks. Too funny since I was reminding everyone else :-/

Good point re-evil bane. Oh and Pratavh's reveal weakness causes Bvar to hit twice! That was 5 successful attacks between you and Bvar for Evil Bane.

Awesome, it's blinded. Now we've got to finish this up fast, that punch comes in hard.

Lilly swings her flaming sword furiously at the big enemy.

Lilly brings her sword down on Sulukta time after time like a hammer! She slices off two arms and neatly cuts off one foot! With a thunderous report the statue stumbles to the ground!

Finish her Shikyo!

Err. I took my action way up there. It was to move out of the web...as a standard action against the Web's CMD

Shikyo attacks the fallen statue Katana: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29 Katana2: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 KatanaHaste: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24

Damage: 1d8 + 16 + 4d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 16 + (4, 5, 1, 2) + (1, 3) = 40

Guess lack of sleep will do that to you. Never mind.

Through the combined efforts of the party, Sulukta keels over and shatters!

A deep chuckle resonates throughout the arena, "Very good! You have fought well, but I'm afraid it's time for you to die."

Suddenly there is a huge pressure differential and you feel a massive intake of breath. The hairs on the back of your neck prickle and your heart skips a beat, for in front of you stands a true monster towering over you.

You have one round, prepare yourselves. Oh and make a DC 19 will save please, all of you.

With the voice being in the northern section of the room Pratavh moved to put the pillar between him and the general direction of the sound in the hopes that it would protect him from what was likely the supposed dragon's breath weapon, as he did he yelled out, "COVER, DRAGON BREATH INCOMING!" The aura he emitted sent snippets of what the holocaust to come and provided some small insights into how to avoid it.

Pratavh Will save + Prot from evil (I presume) and Aura of Prescience bonuses (+4 total) add another +2 if a charm or fear effect due to Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

Will, prot from evil, aura?: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 2 + 2 = 25

I was expecting the 3rd to come down, unless this gargantuan dragon is him in a shape shifted form.

Lilly takes a 5ft step south.
"I've HAD IT!! Whatever deity has been toying with me, better give some inspiration if they want to see a PROPER FIGHT!!!"

Lilly's eyes glow bright golden.
Battlecry mystery ability:
All allies within 100 feet who hear your cry gain a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls, skill checks, and saving throws for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier. 5 rounds.

Lilly takes a defensive stance. Total defense, AC 30

Will(DC19), PfE, Aura: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 4 = 22

"This is going to be fun." Alwyn comments before turning to a song about heroes and dragons, one in which the heroes win.

moving as he sings to the opposite side of a column as Pratavh has done.

Will: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 17
ImprovedIronWill: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 + 2 = 11 Lol, guess you guys are all about to be murdered by a dominated Ninja! Banzai!

Naw, the prot from evil prevents domination by evil, assuming it's from an evil source of course.

By my reckoning everyone except Lilly has (at least) one standard action left. You might want to do something more...

I don't have much i can do of use just now.

GM, Alwyn began singing once more restarting the inspire courage, that should have given Shikyo the additional 2 he needs to meet the DC19 on his first roll. He only added 2 +2's which would have been Protection from Evil and Aura

"This is going to be fun." Alwyn comments before turning to a song about heroes and dragons, one in which the heroes win.

OK Shikyo you are not shaken, although it was a close run thing.

That also would have been Alwyn's standard action. What kind of reach does the Dragon have?

Kn:Nature DC26 to know.

It takes little knowledge to guess such a dragon has 20ft reach. :)

Shikyo drank his potion of remove fear before the fight...so that would have helped too. In fact he also drank his potion of resist energy acid....here's hoping they told us the truth and the thing has acid breath and not fire.

Shikyo disappears, and he is not all that thrilled to be fighting a dragon.....

Perception: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (19) + 24 = 43
Breath weapon: Fire: 6d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 3, 3, 5) = 19
Breath weapon: Acid: 6d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 3, 1, 6, 5) = 24

The shadow dragon exhales and vile jet of scaldingly hot acidic gasses streams from toothy maw! The cloud of gas envelops three of heroes and despite their protections they feel it burn and dissolve their skin and hair. Somewhere in the cloud screams are heard.

Shikyo Reflex DC 22: 1d20 + 11 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 3 + 2 = 22 ---> PASS 2 ACID DMG, absorbed by potion
Lilly Reflex DC 22: 1d20 + 6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 3 + 2 = 28 ---> PASS 2 DMG
Pratavh Reflex DC 22: 1d20 + 7 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 3 + 2 = 14 ---> FAIL 9+14 = 23 DMG
Each of you have 10 acid and fire resist which is just as well!

Everyone is up.

Not that it likely matters, but the web is now on fire and anyone inside of it takes 2d4 damage per round, guess where the dragon is. Not that I expect it to be harmed at all by that amount of fire but still. Hoping that scream wasn't Bvar.

With the dragon revealed Pratavh could finally see where to aim so he could target the great beast. With a thought he called again upon the void, the creature's weaknesses revealed. All the while his companions continued to get glimpses of the future.

Maintain aura, use reveal weakness on the dragon -2 to basically everything but damage for the round. Also, am I still invisible? We're in an ambiguous situation here as I haven't cast any spells on the dragon (reveal Weakness is a supernatural ability, not a spell), it is in the web but walked into it. While I'd love to stay invis, not that it likely matters cause, well, DRAGON, my belief is that no I am not. What is your ruling Mr. Fangdragon sir?

Shikyo moves swiftly, trying to flank the Dragon so he can deal a deathblow to the beast. He uses KI to slip past the dragon's rapidly moving claws and tail.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 20 = 46

I'm assuming the dragon probably has true sight or some other way to spot Shikyo. If not then ignore the KI expenditure and the acro roll

Yes, but i and Shiko got loose.

"Hey, that's my hair, i'm proud of its colors, you oversized lizard!!"

Cast defensive, DC 21: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
Guess what...which is probably saved against, but trying anyway.
Blindness on the dragon.

Should still have haste available, this is effectively round 6 correct.

Alwyn continues to sing as he leans out from behind the column to pepper the dragons hide with arrows.

dmg 2 confirm if needed: 1d6 + 8 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 8 + (3, 2) = 18

A note on invisibility. It's unlikely the dragon can spot you while still since there is a +40 mod to stealth, but he has a good chance if you move. He has genius level intellect and is well aware of the above (he is a spell caster) and can make educated guesses. Don't forget he watched you fight Sulukta. Incidentally when going invisible, Shikyo could choose to make a stealth check to make it even harder to spot him. However this requires a roll since stealth is not automatic.

The dragon is massive in front of Alywn, it's almost impossible not to hit it, but every inch is covered in armored scales. In as many heartbeats, Alwyn lofts four arrows. Two bounce off harmlessly but another two manage to score hits on sensitive wing joints. The dragon roars in irritation!

Pratavh uses the power of the heavens to render the dragon vulnerable, his invisibility breaks as he does so...

The reality of the fearsome dragon at close quarters is nothing like Master Bvar imagined, there was no glory to a death like this. Sobbing softly he soils himself and shrinks into the back corner.
Will Save: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 2 = 8 ---> FAIL

Lilly casts a spell, that should deprive the dragon of sight, but the magic slips off! The dragon chuckles deeply.
Fort Save DC18: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
Spell Resistance: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 ---> FAIL

Shikyo ducks and tumbles past the dragon! No AOO. But it's head tracks the slippery ninja's moves and it's great tail smacks against him, almost knocking him off his feet!
Perception: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (15) + 24 = 39 ---> Yes
Tail Slap: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33Miss %: 1d100 ⇒ 54Dmg: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 ---> HIT
The dragon knows which square Shikyo is on, but there's a 50% chance it'll miss since it doesn't have blind fighting.

The dragon's neck suddenly moves violently and it's great maw clamps down on Lilly with a thunder crack!
Bite!: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35Damage: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (3, 5) + 10 = 18 ---> HIT

All up.

I was rather waiting for a mention if i were to roll for overcoming SR.
So let's see what i'd roll if so.

Sr?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Oh come on :(
I don't suppose we can get a semi-retcon on this?
I mean, how many times in games do we get to blind a huge dragon?

Can I get some actions please?

Does someone have something to debuff it more?

Shikyo will wait for someone, anyone, to please flank the creature with him...if that happens he goes all out, hoping to slay the dragon as swiftly as possible

KatanavFF: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
Katana2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
KatanaHaste: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21
KatanaKI: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

Unfortunately all his efforts are for naught....

My damage would be, if flanking, 1d8+16+4d6+2d6

Are you remembering the bonuses for bardic performance and my aura on your attack rolls? Also keep in mind the dragon is at -4 to ac due to reveal weakness, so it's conceivable that a couple of those actually hit him.

Cast defensive DC 21: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
Heal: 3d8 + 5 ⇒ (3, 2, 7) + 5 = 17

CSW, as the dragon would likely save vs another blind/deaf.
Ugh....lousy result :/

After the heal, Lilly tries to make a heroic jump, to close in to the dragon and set up flank for Shiko.
VS DC 20: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Bard bonus is in, your aura is not since Shikyo is on the other side of the dragon. I'm imagining the dragon has Ac is the upper 20's so I'm pretty sure nothing hit...

As a reminder Bvar had a couple of funny looking arrows he took especially. Unfortunately he is currently frightened.

Waiting on actions from Alwyn and Pratavh.

Sorry bout that, I somehow missed that I needed to post a combat action.

Pratavh moved to open some distance between himself and the dragon then focused once again on revealing it's weaknesses to his allies.

Maintain aura, moved, used reveal weakness again on the dragon.

GM, would Heroism or Saving finale be usable to help Master Bvar?

Alwyn continues to sing as he leans out from behind the column, sending more arrows at the dragon in front of them.

arrow1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
arrow(haste): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
arrow (rapid): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
arrow2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Dmg(arrow1): 1d6 + 8 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 8 + (5, 1) = 18
Dmg(haste): 1d6 + 8 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 8 + (5, 3) = 22
Dmg (rapid): 1d6 + 8 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 8 + (4, 1) = 19

not sure which ones hit but pretty sure the 12 didn't

Saving finale would have allowed another saving throw. To be fair he'd need help making it... Remove fear would help, but I don't think anyone has that. I will entertain creative solutions, but maybe you can defeat the dragon without him?

Moving with incredible speed, Alwyn fires another barrage of arrows. Aided by the strands of Pratavh's magic, two of the arrows find their way past Irkimah's tough scales. One connects on the dragons scaly back leaving a messy wound, and another damages a wing joint. The dragon roars in pain, the sound is deafening...

Pratavh continues his arcane barrage, using the secrets of the void to open up small chinks in Irkimah's otherwise impenetrable armor!

Bvar continues to cower in the corner.

Lilly heals herself and jumps closer to the dragon.
Lilly what was that D20 roll for? Pausing here, you may wish to reconsider since that movement will trigger an AOO.

The DC 20 is making a jump across 10 feet, from stationary position.
I was hoping to get just 1 AoO at most, as otherwise i'd have to move two squares to set up flank.
I won't be able to give Shiko his flanking otherwise.
I have little choice, as you rolled my SR check and the dragon's not blinded.
Otherwise Shiko would be going SA-jitsu, that'd be a fun sight.

Lilly heroically, jumps screaming at the dragon. This surprises Irkimah who manages to completely miss when he snapped out to bite!
Bite AOO: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22

Shikyo tries to stab the dragon repeatedly, but it's thrashing about too much to land a solid blow. Irkimah tries to break some more bones by sweeping Shikyo off his feet with a tail swipe, but the ninja manages to jump away safely at the last moment. You where very close to hitting.

Lilly stands her ground in front of Irkimah which is either amazingly heroic, or an utterly foolish thing to do! Blessed with battle instinct and luck, Lilly bobs aside as Irkimah's maw snaps shut where her head was a heart beat ago, but she can't escape a mauling from his claws and wing buffets.

Bite: Lilly: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22Damage: 2d6 + 10 ⇒ (3, 3) + 10 = 16 ---> MISS

I'd say somewhere in between, as i see no other option :/
I have no alternate ways of dealing 'proper' damage (she sucks at bow skills).

I'll delay until Shiko's had his turn.
I'm going to flee afterwards.
And hopefully not die..that´d suck.^^
