"Ah think Ah c'n get 'ere, but 'ere be a dragon wanderin' 'bout 'n 'tis 'is 'ome we 'r 'n. 'ow do we get 'is attention 'way from th' island s' Ah c'n go there?"

Erine blinks. "Well..." She puts a hand on Edrukk's shoulder, and he feels her warding magic taking effect.
Ward Hex. +2 AC and saves until you're hit or fail a saving throw.
The gnome considers the problem. "I-I have a...a spell, that can send most creatures into a state of terror. As long as they aren't too powerful. It only lasts...a matter of s-seconds, though. Otherwise....I, um, haven't much magic left. I--I'm not sure what would be distracting. We could throw Canvy in the lake, maybe."

"Maybe we shou' circle th' lakeshore, see'f there'sa way t'the island from 'nother side?"

"Aye, lad, mebbe simpler be better. Le's see if'n we c'n get closer t' th' island from th' fur side o' th' lake."

Continues to be nearly a 100 feet to the island, you find the nearest spot is still about 60 feet to the island.

As we look around fill my open infusion with true strike and keep it in hand. No idea how to get out there..except swim...or go back to the room with all the boxes, rip them apart and use the wood to make some rafts. Ah bit of rope to lash it all together, and a long pole or paddle to get us moving. *more muttered then spoken* Not been much for water since that gator tried to eat Bubbles. Dragon is worse I guess but Bubbles is not here so it is OK.

"A raft? Might work, but what d'ye plan t' do when th' dragon comes callin'?"

Bomb it of course!

Canvy looks daggers at Erine when she suggests he be fishing bait for a dragon. "Maybe one of your pets would do better that me as a dragon's dinner." He rattles his armour, then speaking to Minniewick and the others, "Getting those crates is a good idea, but perhaps they could make a smaller craft. Just to hold our armor whilst we swim double quick time across to the island, pulling our protection on the rafts."

Eddrukk

Edrukk chuckles at the half-orc's irritation. "She jus' be 'avin' a wee bit o' fun, lad. Calm yerself."

As Edrukk turns to put himself between his fueding companions he makes a mis-step directly into the deep water with his rear leg, however his foot rests gently on the surface of the water, and he even has his weight on that leg........

The wave pattern on the armor glows and looks like it is moving like waves.

The dwarf looks down at his foot with some surprise.

Erine blinks. "That...what?"

Canvy shrugs at Edrukk's comments, "Well, s'pose, but I thi....." his jaw drops as he looks in astonishment as Edrukk, starts to walk across the water. He follows in Edrukk's steps but immediately his feet fall into the water, and he retreats quickly back to dry land. "You know what you're doing Edrukk?" he mouths and croaks in bewilderment.

Edrukk tentatively puts both feet on the surface, his whole weight supported by the magic of the bucaneer's breastplate!

"Ah, no, Ah dinnae know fer sure. 'pears 's 'ow Ah c'n walk t' th' island, though. Mebbe Ah should - 'ave ye a bow if'n 't comes outta th' deeps?" Looking at Erine, "C'n ye bring somethin' t' follow th' dragon s' we know where 't be? Somethin' 'at glows, mebbe?"

Erine shakes her head. "N...no. There's a...light spell, but I d--didn't prepare it."

"I'll switch arm'r wi' ye for th' moment an' go out t' the islan', if ye wish, Mast'r Edrukk. I can bait it while the rest'o ye shoot."

"I'll switch arm'r wi' ye for th' moment an' go out t' the islan', if ye wish, Mast'r Edrukk. I can bait it while the rest'o ye shoot."

"Yer a good lad, but Ah 'ave n' bus'ness wit' a bow. Get ready, th' lot o' ye. We'll see how 'is goes." 'n yer no' 'n yer right mind - if'n ye think Ah'll let ye off 'n yer own t' die 't th' dragon's claws, yer more daft 'n Ah thought.

Edrukk will move to the shortest distance between the shore and the island. He will start looking at his gear trying to decide what's necessary and what's extra.

Will have to get back to you, but he's going to lighten his load and prepare for a run across the lake.

..... ;)

Will have to get back to you, but he's going to lighten his load and prepare for a run across the lake.

Why would he lighten his load? He is a Dwarf and is never encumbered by armor or equipment.

True, but he can still have too much weight to move.

Edrukk looks at the fighter. "Lad, 'ow 'eavy 'r ye?"

"A bit 'over 11 stone in' m' skin (160 lbs.), bu'time clos'r t' 20 stone (280 lbs.) wi'thall this gear. I cou' drop m' pack'n be at abou' 16 stone'n (220 lbs.) still arm'rd.'"

Ah mus' be outta me mind 'ere.

"Right, then. Leave yer pack wit' mine, 'ere. Wit' Gorum's 'elp, we'll bot' be over 'ere 'n back shortly."

Edrukk begins casting a spell on himself, but it takes a few moments to take effect. Enlarge Person, increasing his STR to 16 and his carrying capacity to as much as 460#.

"'n me back, lad, we need t' 'ustle." Once the fighter is on board, the dwarf will run across to the island.

Yeah, this is crazy...

Broccan drops his pack, slings his shield onto his back, and climbs up onto the enalrged dwarf's back.

LOL. Yep. Weez-a gonna dieeeeeeee.

Canvy, has his cross bow ready as they start to cross, ready to provide some sort of cover should something threaten them.

If you run into any trouble cast light so we can see you. As long as I can see it, I should be able to hit anything you run into from here. Bottoms up! he drinks his bombers eye as they hit the water Keep a true strike infusion in hand

As Broccan and Edrukk hit the distant shore over the hilltop of the island 45 feet away and uphill appears a serpentine head!

Broccan has time to set and get ready......

same initiative!

Initiative order
Broccan 19
Erine 17
Edrukk 12
Canvy 9
Dragon 6
Minniwick 2 DM assigned...

Minniwick feel free to roll for better!

Even charging, I couldn't cover the distance uphill. Ranged attack it is, then.

Broccan hurls a javelin at the creature.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Erine is up!

Erine reaches into her component pouch and throws a finger bone into the air. The bone seems to fall in slow motion. As it falls, it 'regrows', taking the form of a spectral wraith.
Erine begins to scream, but from the dragon's perspective, the wraith is what's screaming.
Casting scare. Will save DC 17 if it has six hit dice or less. If the save fails, the dragon is Frightened for 3 rounds. If the save succeeds, the dragon is Shaken for 1 round. If the dragon has six hit dice, it is unaffected.
Edrukk, don't forget your +2 to AC and saves from the Ward Erine cast.

The dragon looks at Erines spell and nothing seems to happen....

Edrukk is up!

Assuming that Broccan's been off-loaded since he's flinging things around,
Edrukk will move to his right, picking up a fist-sized stone as he moves and drawing his sword with the other hand.

Edrukk decides to stay with Broccan to face down the dragon!

Canvy is up!

Canvy takes the opportunity to cast light on the bolt in his crossbow. Damn, should have done it in the last post ... sorry Broccan.

DM Rules Canvy did cast light previously and fires at the black-winged bastard!

1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

damage 1d8 ⇒ 4

Canvy scores a hit! Pissing off the dragon who decides to charge down and attempt a bite.

Biting @ Broccan
attack1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Broccan notices his proximity to the dark-murky depths.

Minniwick is up!

Minniwick's request for a light source has been fulfilled - the bolt sticking out of the dragon. Correct?

yes!

I assumed this post was your AoO on the dragon! ;)

Nope, this one is...

Seeing the dragon charge downslope, the dwarf drops the stone, steps to a slightly more advantageous position, and swings!

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 if he could get a flanking position or create one for Broccan next round, he'll do it. Flanking bonus not included in the attack roll.

Damage 3d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3, 3) + 4 = 14

"Ah'm no' 'ere t' kill ye, dragon, but Ah'll no' stand by while yer killin' me friend, either."

Thanks KK ... and your attack rolls are better for me than mine are ....wheee!!

Edrukk scores a hit on the dragon...

Which bellows in pain!

Minniwick is up!

Aim for the back. Incoming! ranged touch 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 Damage 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 4) + 4 = 14 Main target on fire (1d6) until extinguished (FRA+Ref save). Splash 10' radius 6 pts Ref DC 15 for 1/2

WOOT Back up the crit 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 Damage 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Reflex Save (in case I'm caught in the splash): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Attack (longsword): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Confirm critical hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Damage: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (1, 8) + 6 = 15

Holy crap...two crit threats in a row, and one pretty much certain confirm. So much for those rubber swords!
Erine watches the fight grimly, unable to contribute.

Minniwick blasts the dragon's back-side the creature lunges forwards still ablaze directly into Broccan's Longsword!

Edrukk is up!

Edrukk continues swinging.

Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage 3d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1, 4) + 4 = 12

Note: Edrukk's AC is 18 thanks to Erine's ward.

Edrukk scores a hit!

Canvy is up!

Canvy unable to attack the beast with one of his favored weapons, loads his crossbow, and starts to take careful aim, letting loose a bolt.

Light Cross Bow attack 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 2 - 4 = 12 for shooting into melee
Light Cross Bow damage 1d8 ⇒ 3
