Seeing the dragon rear up on his haunches, Ali mutters Ancients protect me!! <--invoking Guidance

Ref save: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 18 <--HAH! THANK YOU ANCIENTS!!

The cold blast only skims the top of her head, causing her red mane to take on a coat of rime as she scrambles up into position--easily, thanks to the magical Slippers!

DMTS--what is the blue triangle? that matters before I commit to a move, please...
EDIT--that's the cold breath, innit? if that's the case, i'll move now.

Vojtek lands... will roll relax later - at work sorry

Reflex 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Ali: yes, the blue triangle is was the breath weapon. Still takes a full-round action to get through the trap door, though, so while I'll let the guidance slide, even though I told ya she only got a Move action :-P, she's only going to get a five foot step.

Vojtek still has a full-round action!

Ali: yes, the blue triangle is was the breath weapon. Still takes a full-round action to get through the trap door, though, so while I'll let the guidance slide, even though I told ya she only got a Move action :-P, she's only going to get a five foot step.

Vojtek still has a full-round action!

Thanks for letting it slide, Everyone had their next d20 roll with Guidance from either Davosh or I, unless Ali can cast it too. Was in my prep post.

Yeah, Guidance had been cast on us all, I was "using" it.
I'll adjust to a 5' step

My bad, then, I missed that.

Vojtek five foots diagonally (trait that allows normal movement on ice) and freaks out on the dragon!

Power Attack with Greatsword: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 11 - 2 = 10 for 2d6 + 11 + 6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 11 + 6 = 23 damage with Wartooth gnash: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 for 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 damage.

Clearly his fury has worsened his aim, unfortunately.

Vojtek Leveling Break
HPs: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Gain: Uncanny Dodge
Feat: Extra Rage
Skills: Escape Artist, Ride, and Survival
Sorry - Better late than never :)

Vojtek's furious frenzy fails!

Kappi's head sticks through the trapdoor as he makes his way up. He sees the dragon breathe again!
(DC 18 Reflex save; Kappi gets a +2 on his Reflex save — Ali does not this time.)
cold dmg: 8d4 ⇒ (4, 4, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 1) = 17
Vojtek, please keep track of your protection from cold damage.

The dragon flies higher in the air then, provoking from Vojtek!
AoO: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 2 = 25
AoO dmg: 2d6 + 11 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 11 + 6 = 24
He roars in pain, as he departs, stopping just off the ledge some thirty feet above the platform. Come, little ones! his dragon voice booms above the howling winds. Your death has a name, and it is LOGRIVICH!

Round 3
Kappi
Logrivich
Davosh
Ali
Edward
Vojtek

Ali, Vojtek, and Kappi are up! Edward will come in for next round. The white area is all ice, so will cost double movement on the ground and add 5 to the DC of Acrobatics checks for those who need to make them.

Reminder to those who are or will be flying: to remain airborne at the end of your turn you'll need to make a DC 15 Fly check to hover or else you will need to land. (Logrivich makes this check automatically.)

Ali has my life link. So heal 10 ali

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Could someone teach me how to keep track of Protection from cold damage?

Round 3

Reflex save vs dragon's breath 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 2 = 13
Kappi has evasion for 1/2 damage.

Resist Energy 2 points left.

Kappi climbs up through the trapdoor and is caught in the open as the dragon breaths its cold breath. Though the lad is hit w/ it, he drops and rolls at the last moment to shed a good bit of the blast.
The lad feels the icy cold breath descend on him in more of a wave than a cloud. Though its deathly cold, he barely feels it. Then with a grin he remembers the Potion of Resist Cold he drank moments before going up the ladder.
The rogue moves over to the other side of the room.

[Dice= Reflex]1d20+4

Could someone teach me how to keep track of Protection from cold damage?

It absorbs 12 points of cold damage per caster level. Its a third level spell. So a cleric would have to be minimum of 5th level to cast it. So good for 60 damage of cold. I think...

Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

This time, Ali is not so lucky, and takes the full force of the icy breath. She grits her teeth against the burning cold, but feels Edward's goodly magic preventing the attack from being catastrophic to being only "really really bad."

She has an arrow nocked...but sees an opening to cast a spell before Vojtek closes.

Ali casts Stone Call over the dragon, catching only it, in the air--so there will be no difficult terrain for anyone to worry about!

No SR, no save. Suck it, Loggie!!

Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

When is Davosh up?

-Posted with Wayfinder

When is Davosh up?

He will come up the round after Edward does.

Ali's spell pummels Logrivich in the air!
Kappi moves over to the other side of the room!

Vojtek flies through the air, shrieking in a disturbingly reptilian manner. His jaws agape, his arms crooked and high above his back, the demented barbarian hurdles towards the dragon with murderous intent!

fly if required: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Power Attack with Greatsword: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 12 - 2 = 25 for 2d6 + 11 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 11 + 6 = 21 damage

Vojtek handles the awkwardness of flying for the first time well, and finds it an exhilarating experience. Why he never thought of doing this before, he will never know.

The daylight effect shines off the barbarian through the cloaked black of night as he hurtles forward, chasing the shadows that surround the dragon away temporarily. Vojtek's charge lands his blade into the side of Logrivich, who howls in pain and turns his full fury onto the Northman!

bite w/PA: 1d20 + 15 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 15 - 3 = 24
bite dmg: 1d8 + 7 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 9 = 23

claw 1 w/PA: 1d20 + 14 - 3 ⇒ (9) + 14 - 3 = 20
claw 1 dmg: 1d6 + 5 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 9 = 20

claw 2 w/PA: 1d20 + 14 - 3 ⇒ (6) + 14 - 3 = 17
claw 2 dmg: 1d6 + 5 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 9 = 15

wing 1 w/PA: 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 3 = 10
wing 1 dmg: 1d4 + 2 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 9 = 15

wing 2 w/PA: 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 3 = 7
wing 2 dmg: 1d4 + 2 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 9 = 15

Logrivich takes a five-foot fly away and hovers perfectly.

Round 4
Kappi
Logrivich
Davosh
Ali
Edward
Vojtek

Ali, Vojtek, Kappi, and Edward (Swift and Move actions only) [/b] are up! Davosh will come in for next round.[/ooc]

Reminders: The white area is all ice, so will cost double movement on the ground and add 5 to the DC of Acrobatics checks for those who need to make them. To remain airborne at the end of your turn you'll need to make a DC 15 Fly check to hover or else you will need to land. (Logrivich makes this check automatically.)

Round 4

Edward climbs the ladder, the brisk wind of the dragons breath has him pause till it's past. He feels the pull of healing that Ali is needing. As he clears the ladder he moves to an open spot drawing his bow[/b]

Logrivich your acts are an offense to Apsu. I Edward Wynn Fell and my companions are here to send you to your grave. By the will of Apsu I smite you. Edward says in draconic.

Ali heal 5. Edward is 39/52. I will also move when I get back to a desktop. Just for note, I also have the icewalker trait and suffer no penalties over ice.

Ed! I'm ok...Help Vojtek!

She casts another spell, saving her next one for Davosh and his hex

Magic Missile damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4, 1) + 3 = 10

Round 4

Kappi stands feeling useless as he watches Voytek battling with the dragon and Ali helping with her spells.
The lad carefully starts moving out onto the ice...

Ali: need an SR check for magic missile please! >:-)

SR: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 = 11 <--doubtful...

Ali casts a spell, but the force bolts land on Logrivich's hide without effect!

Edward and Kappi move!

Vojtek!

The barbarian seems to have entered some sort of state, and while flying awkwardly in combat has been snarling, roaring, expectorating, and snapping his jaws at the dragon.

Power Attack with Greatsword: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 12 - 2 = 28 for 2d6 + 11 + 6 ⇒ (4, 1) + 11 + 6 = 22 damage with Wartooth gnash: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 for 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 damage.

Fly: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Vojtek slashes Logrivich with fury, then keeps enough of his head to stay aloft!

In a frenzy, Logrivich lashes back!

bite w/PA: 1d20 + 15 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 15 - 3 = 24
bite dmg: 1d8 + 7 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 9 = 21

claw 1 w/PA: 1d20 + 14 - 3 ⇒ (12) + 14 - 3 = 23
claw 1 dmg: 1d6 + 5 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 9 = 19

claw 2 w/PA: 1d20 + 14 - 3 ⇒ (2) + 14 - 3 = 13
claw 2 dmg: 1d6 + 5 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 9 = 15

wing 1 w/PA: 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (17) + 9 - 3 = 23
wing 1 dmg: 1d4 + 2 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 9 = 14

wing 2 w/PA: 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (8) + 9 - 3 = 14
wing 2 dmg: 1d4 + 2 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 9 = 15

58 points last round, 21 on the first attack this round. I'm assuming Vojtek is down; if not from that, surely from the following blow.

The dragon bellows a frightening, wicked laugh. Who is next to fall before the mightly Logrivich?

Round 5
You guys are up! Davosh has Swift and Move actions only.

Reminders: The white area is all ice, so will cost double movement on the ground and add 5 to the DC of Acrobatics checks for those who need to make them. To remain airborne at the end of your turn you'll need to make a DC 15 Fly check to hover or else you will need to land. (Logrivich makes this check automatically.)

Davosh finally makes it up, but doesn't have a chance to bring his EYE to bear. He does get a scroll out though.

Round 5

Kappi is feeling very useless stuck on the floor with the bugger dragon flying around. Then the lad moves forward a little closer and throws a tanglefoot bag at the dragon. The rogue hopes to tangle up its wings and force it to land.

Throwing 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 1 = 18

Ali curses under her breath that her spell failed. She moves out onto the ice, unhindered due to the Featherstep Slippers, and fires off an arrow (saving her last spells for after Davosh's Eye Attacks). She trusts her magical protections to keep her alive if she earns the dragon's ire...

Arrow, +1 bow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

are we waiting for our Oradin to hopefully revive Vojtek for at least another round of killing?

Round 5
Temp AC vs Logrivich 24

Seeing the situation change with the fall of Vojtek, Edward has to put the smiting of Logrivich on hold.

Logrivish I've never seen a dragon surrender his lair so quickly. I think we might see what we can find in here. While you titter about out there. Edward yells hoping to draw the dragon in so it's breath doesn't flow over the fallen barbarian yet again.

Ed then releases the lifelink on Ali, and concentrates to establish one on Vojtek. He then steps back under cover.

Lay on hands Edward: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 4) + 2 = 12

Ali heal 5. Ed take 5.. Drop Lifelink (Free), Lay on hands (Swift), Lifelink with Vojtek(Standard), 5'step (move). Ed's HP: 51/52

Sorry best I could do, he's to far away for me to get a spell on him I'm out of healing except for the wand (I think we violated one of Davosh's "rules of adventuring"). Plus why add more targets for the breath weapon that would drop Vojtek yet again.

Who's up?

This is my bad, guys; didn't get to this yesterday.

Davosh moves in while Ali fires a shot accompanied by Elven profanity! Her aim is true and Logrivich takes the arrow to his back claw!

Kappi hurls a tanglefoot bag!
DC 15 Refl: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
The bag strikes Logrivich squarely on the wings and the dragon plummets from the sky!
falling: 8d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 4, 2, 1, 3, 1, 3) = 21

On the snow below, the body of the white dragon does not move.

Atop the tower, the party looks on in a fair amount of disbelief. Logrivich is defeated!

Out of combat! Votjek, I nee a total calculation of where your hps are and, if applicable, a stabilization check.

Davosh, scroll in hand, finally gets to the battlefield. He sees both Vojtek and a white dragon slumped to the ground, motionless. "By the ancients and their bairns! We've done it! We've done it and I MISSED IT!"

The witch walks over to Vojtek and if the lad still breaths, CMW: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 4) + 5 = 16

Large post forthcoming dependent upon Vojtek's status.

Kappi stands stock still for a few moments in disbelief...

Then he suddenly raised both hands in the air in wild-eyed amazement and victory!
Then just as quickly as it came, the lad remembers Vojtek is also down and not moving. Emotion running high Kappi runs over his barbarian friend and then sliding on the ice he almost goes off the edge.
Only a last second impulse, the lad jams his dagger down in the ice and manages to slow his slide to a stop, and then anchor the blade in. Even then the lad's legs were dangling over the edge. Kappi nimbly scrambles back up and the few feet over to the downed Vojtek.

Whether its the elation of killing a dragon, almost plummeting to his own death over the side of an icy drop-off, or his true feelings for his friend... The Varisian lad has tears running down his face and is trying to sniff huge slots back up into his nose.
No, no Vojtek, you are going to be okay. The lad rips off his backpack and starts rummaging through it. I think I had one last potion of healing in here... I think... I'm pretty sure...
He now just up ends the pack and dumps everything out all over the ice. As he frantically searches through it.
The potion he searches for isn't there and he finally stops and starts sobbing a little harder. By this time Davosh moves to Vojtek's side and begins his strange Ancient's type of healing.

Then Kappi suddenly stops crying (though he still has snots all over), Wait! That bottle was in my pouch, not pack! And sure enough a millisecond later he has a small bottle in hand and carefully uncorks it with his teeth as he bubbles snot out of one of his nostrils.
The lad hands it to Davosh, who then unceremoniously pours it down Vojtek's gullet.

Best effing tanglefoot bag EVER!!! +all of them to Kappi!!

Ali lets out a quick whoop of joy at the dragon's fall, but moves over to stand with Kappi as he sees to the fallen barbarian. Don't worry, Kappi. Davosh will fix him up, and you'll be drinking to the dragon's death together by dusk!

Still waiting for news of Vojtek before I make a full post for Davosh.

My life link auto stabilization

Yeah Vojtek took 112 damage in 2 rounds.

-32 hps. Is that bad?

very bad.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Holy crap

Yeah, -32 is all sorts of not good. Dragon shreds.

So the question now is, does the party — and Vojtek's player — want to raise Vojtek, or carry on with a replacement?

AS the party checks on the barbarian, the remnants of his chain armor lie about him, turned into ribbons by the dragon's claws. Kappi also notes that his trusted, worn greatsword is snapped in two beneath his akimbo body.

Davosh exhales first, noting the gentle rise and fall of the Northman's chest. Wounded, near death's door...but alive.

No! Not that!
Wait!

Upon further review...waiting...

Upon further review...waiting...

Kappi kneels on the ice pathetically sobbing next to his friend's lifeless corpse. It was difficult but he looked further at Vojtek's dragon torn flesh. His chainmail shirt was destroyed. The dragon's teeth and claws went through it like paper. An entire section of his thigh was completely gone leaving exposed bone. But maybe the worst part was where one of the dragon's claws had cut right into Vojtek's chest, just opened it right up. The claw sliced right through his heart. With no heart how could he be healed? It was too late for their friend.

Ali places a strong hand on Kapi's shoulder. Tears stream freely down her cheeks, but any sobs that try to leap from her throat are choked back. She will be as strong as she can, to honor the might of the fallen Warrior, and to support her young, grieving friend.
