In Fairytale Earth circa The Year of Our Lord 1437, the Crusaders of the Catacombs and the Desert Jackals join forces as a larger party to confront Antichrist Nero in his dungeon below the Roman Catacombs and stop him from hastening the Apocalypse!
He completes casting A spell and reaches out his tiny hand and grasp the air in front of him.
Deep inside Wormwood head, a single cold coin he had fired into the head of the best now tugged then started to move, it begins to burrow deeper into the dragon's brain matter.
"You love gold so much Dragon, one more coin can't hurt, or can it."

So Gm do not know whether to do Damage of just cause wormwood excruciating pain?.
Hmm... Reading the spell, it doesn't seem like a usual thing you can do with the spell, but I like how you are thinking outside the box, and I can see how you might interpret it that way technically... So I'll let you do it with a hero point. Each round you succeed with the combat maneuver attack with the coin in Wormwood's head, you deal 1d2 Int damage and Wormwood is staggered for 1 round. Sound fair?

Sorry for my absence and missing round 2! With that big reset at the end of round 2, looks like I should just wait now for my turn in round 3, since Wormwood acts before me.
Same, I think MJ has been applying our actions out of order which has been causing some weird temporal shenanigans; the reset is a good opportunity to fix that issue. =)
Mwikali will begin to sew shut the eyes of the Dragon
Fortitude DC 27 Strength DC 22
Blinds the character until it gets free. When it does it takes 1d4 Bleed and is Dazzled for 14/Rounds, also he takes bleed damage for the lips
Fortitude 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (1) + 22 = 23 fails!
Mwikali's magic needle and thread stitch Wormwood's eyes shut! The dragon thrashes its massive head from side to side in rage and pain, blinded by Mwikali's witchcraft! GGRRRAAAAAGGHHH!!! MY EYEEESSSS!!!

Wormwood roars at Sir Alphonse: YOU DARE TO SHOW YOUR FACE TO ME AGAIN, PALADIN OF THE PITIFUL CRUCIFIED GOD!? YOU TOOK MY HEAD AND MY LIFE, ONCE!! NOW, LET ME RETURN THE FAVOR!!
Furious and emboldened by the intervention of his Lord Lucifer, the gargantuan red engine of destruction unleashes a barrage of bite, claws, wing buffets, and whip-cracking tail slap, all on Sir Alphonse!
Doubling Ihrin's weapon damage on her critical comes to 42, plus 33 from Johann = 75 total damage to Wormwood... Also, I forgot that Mwikali has blinded him, so there's a 50% miss chance even though his dragon senses allow him to accurately pin-point Sir Alphonse. He misses on a roll of 50 or lower on percentile dice.
Bite 1d100 ⇒ 25 misses Alphonse...
Claw #1 1d100 ⇒ 44 misses Alphonse...
Claw #2 1d100 ⇒ 92 strikes Alphonse for 27 slashing damage...
Wing #1 1d100 ⇒ 7 misses Alphonse...
Wing #2 1d100 ⇒ 98 strikes Alphonse for 11 bludgeoning damage...
Tail slap missed... So Alphonse only took 38 total damage instead of 113! Big difference! WTG, Mwikali!
Keep in mind that being blind makes him Flat-footed (not super relevant with his likely negative Dex mod) and gives a -2 to AC, which stacks with the further -2 Ihrin gave him.

3 hits for 150 total smite damage, plus 75 from Johann and Ihrin puts Wormwood at 225 total damage so far!
The dragon roars in agony as Alphonse slashes three great wounds in its scaly red hide! GGGRRRAAAAAAAAAOOORRRR!!!

The red wyrm seems impervious to Fox's flurry of blows...until his ki attack lands! URRKK!! grunts the wyrm in surprised pain...
127 total damage added to what Wormwood's already taken! Youch! Nice work, Ihrin!
As Ihrin drives Ice Tusk deep into the steaming scales twice, and plunges Raitangiou deep with her off hand, Wormwood gives voice to an earsplitting, cavern-shaking roar of agony! NNNOOOOOOOOOOAAAAGGGHH!!!
The gargantuan, serpentine fire wyrm writhes in pain and shouts in Draconic: ZZEVAX'TCH, LUCIFER!! CADRAXIN SSEENX!!
A little light falls from the sky and lands before the had of Wormwood. Now dead for good. Lord P looks at it. He holds out his hand and a gold coin comes out of the dead dragons head and flies into his hand. He outs his lucky gold coin away. Then says
"The little Rabbi said to me once. Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall."
He bows his head and stands there in Silence, Tiny before the dragons head.
Perseption DC 20:
Lord P is silently crying, tires fall from his checks to the floor.

The Ogon Fox watches the great dragon fall still, then he closes his eyes and murmurs a quiet prayer, "Praise be to you, Lord Christ."
Then he joins Johann's efforts, searching from the ground for the keyhole.
"He will return to the earth, its blood and body broken will decay and life will begin anew" mwikali says as she looks at the dragon making sure it will pass into the earth and bring new life.
At the north edge of the basalt isle surrounded lava stands a four-foot-high monolith of basalt with a golden plate affixed to it, which has a keyhole in the center of the golden plate. This must be the final keyhole to unlock Nero's extraplanar phylacterium...
A massive heap of shining treasure lies at the center of the basalt isle: piles of platinum, gold, silver and copper coins form the bulk of Wormwood's hoard, with interspersed gems and jewelry, shining breastplate, coat of mail, a round shield bearing the double-header eagle of the Holy Roman Empire, cups and bowls of gold and silver, silken tapestries, and various other treasures...
As the golden key is inserted into the gold plated keyhole in the menhir, a rumbling in the volcano's foundations alerts the Mighty Ones to the impending eruption that is about to blast the dragon's hoard into molten smithereens!
It seems that Nero has set up contingencies of evil destruction even from beyond the grave...
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius is about to be the greatest calamity the Italian peninsula has endured since the destruction of Pompeii and Heraculaneum!
How will the Mighty Ones escape this imminent catastrophe?
The Mighty Ones quickly link hands with Mwikali, who casts teleport to whisk them away to the Coliseum in Rome. There is nothing they can do to prevent the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, but they can escape with their lives and find Nero's phylactery and destroy it--and him--forever!
At the ruins of the ancient Coliseum, they find a magic portal, seemingly floating in midair a few inches off the ground in the middle of the ruins, like a 20-foot-diameter spiral vortex of crimson energy spinning clockwise... This is the entrance to the Phylacterium of Nero Antichrist...

Johann turns back to himself before saying, "At long last, our destination awaits ahead of us. There is no time to rest about, at Nero's could recover himself at any minute!"
but we should heal up! I don't think I took any damage. I have 14 cure serious wounds potions if anyone wants them.
