The black dragons are all about 60 ft away from the FOs, and there is about 30 ft between each of them....
Marcus looks at the flying dragons and grins a nasty grin.
He empowers his voice with magic and Mythical might.
"Fall." he says to the gathered dragons.
Will save vs DC 24 fall command
Will save vs DC 24 fall command

All four dragons resist Marcus' command!
The dragons all exhale 80-ft streams of greenish acid! They catch MJ, Koran, Derrik, and Sieg in their paths.... DC 22 Reflex for half
MJ takes acid....
Koran takes acid....
Derrik takes acid....
Sieg takes acid....
Reflex save vs DC 22 dragon breath
OOOOWCH! Stings!
Sieg stumbles a few times, but manages to deftly dodge the spray of acid, coming out unscathed.
Derrik steels himself against the Acid, letting it bathe him
Koran sidesteps the rush of acid, only getting some of the splatter.
"can someone get me up there?"
Realizing that the biggest threat is out of range of his first idea, with the speed of his perpetual mind, Grimm slammed a vial from his bandolier and immediately transferred the feeling of force and lightness to Koran.
Seeing the Dragons on the attack, Radsworth first sends in his Elder Air Elemental!
Air Elemental:
The whirlwind is always 5 feet wide at its base, but its height and width at the top vary from creature to creature (minimum 10 feet high). A whirlwind's width at its peak is always equal to half of its height. The creature controls the exact height, but it must be at least 10 feet high.
The whirlwind form does not provoke attacks of opportunity, even if the creature enters the space another creature occupies. Another creature might be caught in the whirlwind if it touches or enters the whirlwind, or if the whirlwind moves into or through a creature's space. A creature in whirlwind form cannot make its normal attacks and does not threaten the area around it.
Creatures one or more size categories smaller than the whirlwind might take damage when caught in the whirlwind (generally damage equal to the monster's slam attack for a creature of its size) and may be lifted into the air. An affected creature must succeed on a Reflex save (DC 10 + half monster's HD + the monster's Strength modifier) when it comes into contact with the whirlwind or take damage as if it were hit by the whirlwind creature's slam attack. It must also succeed on a second Reflex save or be picked up bodily and held suspended in the powerful winds, automatically taking the indicated damage each round. A creature that can fly is allowed a Reflex save each round to escape the whirlwind. The creature still takes damage but can leave if the save is successful.
Creatures trapped in the whirlwind cannot move except to go where the whirlwind carries them or to escape the whirlwind. Trapped creatures can otherwise act normally, but must succeed on a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) to cast a spell. Creatures caught in the whirlwind take a –4 penalty to Dexterity and a –2 penalty on attack rolls. The whirlwind can have only as many creatures trapped inside at one time as will fit inside the whirlwind's volume. The whirlwind can eject any carried creatures whenever it wishes as a free action, depositing them in its space.
If the whirlwind's base touches the ground, it creates a swirling cloud of debris. This cloud is centered on the creature and has a diameter equal to half the whirlwind's height. The cloud obscures all vision, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. Creatures 5 feet away have concealment, while those farther away have total concealment. Those caught in the cloud of debris must succeed on a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) to cast a spell.
Radsworth levels Traveler and lets the weapon hum with evocation magic. He waits for one of the creatures to try casting a spell.
For his part, Radsworth readies an action. IF one of the Dragons manages to somehow cast a spell, he will interrupt it's spellcasting with an Intensified Reach Shocking Grasp augmented with Mythic Power to bypass SR and increase damage by 50%.
+ 50% = 66 Damage.
Koran surges forward into the sky crashing into the closest dragon with the force of a storm. Mjolnir is already coming around for the first strike.
Miss?
401 damage
As Koran stops moving the other fierce ones can see an unfamiliar glow in his eye, more sinister than the Koran they know. He speaks something in a vile demonic tongue. He laughs and turns his attention back to the problem at hand.

One of the black dragons manages to escape the vortex of wind created by Radsworth's summoned air elemental, but all of them are buffeted violently by the winds....
Koran slaughters the one dragon that escaped the tornado....

Mikey Jay dives right in with the Sword of Sif....

MJ swiftly slices two of the black dragons grounded by Radsworth's vortex into pieces!
Derrik sets his sight on the escaping Dragon Longinus thunders a howling shot.
He then pulls out the clip, loading another clip into the massive rifle and unloads into another Dragon.
A gout of flame erupts from the barrel and the heavy slugs digging Derrik deeper into the ground causing a small fissure around him.
Sieg charges at the nearest dragon and tries to grab it by the tail.
With a successful hold established, he slams it into the ground.
AoO bite at Sieg as he darts in to grapple the last dragon misses the agile brawler....
Sieg seizes the dragon by its tail and slams it's body forcefully onto the sea wall!
Catching sight of the dragon he shot down some 200 ft down a long street running inland from the harbor, flopping and hopping as it drags it's wounded wing behind it, Derrik aims Longinus and pulverizes the dragon's skull with well placed shots! It collapses dead in the street.
All five dragons lay dead!
The surviving Froghemoths are sitting ducks as they hover and flail helplessly in Marcus' antigravity effect!
One by one, they are eliminated either by Koran's furious strokes with Mjolnir, or Mikey Jay's with the Sword of Sif, or by well-aimed shots from Derrik's Longinus body cannon....
Another battle easily won, eh, Fierce Ones? Kinda hoping for a real challenge one of these days....
MJ returns to the ground, flicking froghemoth blood off his blade....
Hmmm.... Be careful what you wish for, Mikey.... These might be the small fry on this planet....
Daisy looks up and down the harbor for signs of more enemies....
Seeing no other immediate dangers, the Fierce Ones continue their search for survivors along the harbor.
After searching two more empty dockside buildings, they finally discover survivors aboard a large fishing junk. There are 9 men, 10 women, and 6 children between the ages of 3 and 12. They are relieved to see that tge FOs are humans (mostly) and not monsters when they come aboard, calling out for survivors.
Although most of them cannot understand any of the languages the FOs speak, they surround you with smiles and salutes (right fist held in left hand) and deep bows....
One of the men steps forward, saluting and bowing....
Ni hao! That how we say "herrow" in Hong Kong! I solly my Engrish not velly bettah.... I rearn flom watch Amelican movie! I rove Crint Eastwood movie! Unfohgiven my favolite! You know Crint Eastwood? How you get heah in Hong Kong? You heah when go to this pranet?
No, we just arrived here today.... We came using powerful magic.... We are the Fierce Ones, and we are here to rescue you from this planet and return you to Earth.... Though, I guess it's debatable whether Earth is actually safer these days....
"Our companion, there with the tophat, transported us here today. We've come to help as best we can."
"Daisy makes a good point however. I'm not sure Earth's Hong Kong will be much of an improvement. We do have a settlement, and the guardians to protect it, if you would agree to come there instead. It would be much safer, and there are far more people there as well. Life isn't exactly normal, but it's probably the closest you can get in these times."
After the hub-bub, the absent-minded chemist wistfully asks Why did we come here again?
"I thought it was to save these people and fight horrifying monsters."
"Haven't seen any of the horrifying monsters yet though."
Let's have at it then.
Speaking to the locals, Grimm consumes an elixir before asking them What beasts torment you and please use your native tongue.
Veiled men tly to make us watch bad play, King in Yerrow, make you clazy, make you bow down to King in Yerrow! Giant flog monstah rike you just fight and dlagon rive in rake.... And big, many-eyed, many-mouthed ooze that make clazy sound.... You heah sound, you go mad.... Shoggoth.... Velly bad monstah....
Another fisherman offers a bit of info....
Veiled men say come flom rand of Leng.... Sheh, them men of Leng.... Regendary rand of giant spidah and wu jen.... Witch.... Wizard-men come flom Leng....
Gosh, where do we start? Suggestions? It might be best to work our way through the lower echelons first before confronting the overseers.
"That may be how we must do it, but if we can at all avoid it I think we should go straight for the top, avoid tiring ourselves out so we can go all out against the important ones."
What about survivors? Do we wanna just bring everyone we find to this boat, maybe? Then teleport as many at a time as we can?
