You awaken laying in the middle of a rocky room. The last thing you remember before this was signing up for some job on a document. A young, aristocratic man in a white and red top hat and coat proffering the deal to you. As you awake, you here a booming voice, amplified by magic. He stands on an outcropping balcony high above you and the room you now find yourself in. You also find yourself unable to speak, no matter how hard you try.
Welcome! To my gauntlet of fright and delight! I'm so happy you choose to partake in my little expedition! Today, yesterday, and tomorrow you will have faced and will face the most terrifying creatures in your world! To test yourselves, to test your mettle, and of course, for mine, and all the others amusements. Applause and cheers from a seemingly non existent crowd roar against your ears.
The man pats his hands and the cacophony quiets. You have one minute to prepare! And know, that once the gauntlet starts, it does not end until either you or it lay broken, battered and beaten! Your first opponent is... A ferocious white Dragon!
After less than a minute, you see a door open from sheer stone and a medium sized white dragon soars into the room and a cackling purple energy field coalesces to seal off the area from above.
roll initiative for yourself, do no make an action in combat yet unless you beat a 26 initiative.
Can you all function with theater of the mind, or would you prefer maps? I would have to use roll20 for maps.
Okay, you each have 1 minute (10 rounds) to prepare however you wish, you are in a room with numerous small boulders(fill a 5ft space) every 60ft, quickly it begins to snow, and soon a soft coat of snow covers the floor supernaturally fast (causes no adverse effects at the moment)
for simplicity, unless you are attempting to stealth, You are in the center of the room, from the center, you can reach any wall via a straight line with 120ft of movement. the "ceiling" is 320ft up. The dragon is currently 180ft up, and 80ft away from you(vertically).
Please, place all your posts in spoilers and list your actions for the first minute (buffs, traps, etc you have knowledge of the enemy you are facing in the first round.) and roll your initiative, likely the dragon will be going first with his nat 20.
Also, please make sure to list any movement you make as follows.
PC moves 20ft north, 10ft east, (if not moving towards your enemy) If moving towards your enemy, merely specify how far you move. If you are flying, specify which axis you are moving. (I fly 20ft upward, and then another 40ft east , or 40ft towards X)
For the vertical plane, north is up, right is east, south is down, and west is left if it matters to you.
Use Ring of Seven Lovely Colors to transform into a Songbird.
(==> +4 DEX, +1 Natural Armor, Size --> Tiny)
Enter into Crane Style
Fly up to equivalent height where Dragon would be (180 ft up), but near the wall (40 ft away from Dragon)
Use Stealth & Total Defense until Dragon arrives
Given that we have knowledge of the enemy we're facing in the first round, I presume that we aren't flat-footed, correct?
Yolo rises amidst her Construct Creations, all dressed to match her own Tian sensibilities. Standing guard over her are two archers in with studded clubs, a mechanical samurai, and... herself?
"Hmmph, I'll show you that a true wizard is always prepared. Even for such a rude job orientation as this." Yolo dusts herself off, before beginning her wizardly incantations.

Once both Yolo and her Duo have both Invisibility and Flying, they fly 25 ft into the air, shuffling their positions before standing still 10 feet from each other.
The two archers and soldiers split up into a triangle, with roughly 30 feet on each of the triangle's sides. They impassively searched for a threat, but then, the Dragon was set loose.
As soon as Aja had all his senses, he unbottled the flask hanging at his belt and thick smoke appeared.

The Dragon turns and looks directly at you, however it seems mildly confused, and looks away, back to the open arena. It scans the area before looking back at you as one would look at a gnat. For a second a chill spreads through the air, and you fear it may be about to use its icy breath, however it stops, and merely swipes at you with its claw, almost not even looking.
You are up.
The white dragon lets its hubris get the better of it, it flies in immediately towards the 3 impudent creatures that dare challenge it. As it readies to descend lower, it notices the presence of two other creatures that it cannot see. It is surprised, and goes on the defensive for now.
As the arrows fly out and pierce the dragon, it shows its youth by letting its anger get the better of it, and charges headlong to find whatever dared to injure it. Instead of flying higher and assessing the situation.
The drake flies toward the direction the arrows that now pierce and stain its white scales red came from, slowed due to the smoke. However, he manages to detect your presence and quickly is next to you.
The White dragon spots you instantly, just as you intended, however, it does not immediately attack, it hovers about 90ft up above you, looking at you as a cat assess its prey.
The dragon notices your gathering power and proceeds cautiously, it hovers 100ft above you, muscles coiled as if ready to spring to the side.
Wary of the large Orc and its very large axe, the white dragon hovers 90ft above you.
you are up.
Action Prepared to swing at the dragon with my axe if it falls for my taunts in come into range while walking towards the centre of the arena.
please note to take into account range penalties, you started in the middle of the arena, and never stated you moved, so you were 80ft away from the dragon horizontally, and another 180ft away vertically, with a 30ft move, that is still over the 110 range increment of the bow.
Aja got quite nervous as the dragon closed in on him. Truly he had forgotton about their extraordinary senses.
Aja moves 30 feet away from the current position. No AoO, because I still have total concealment.
Obsidian begins gathering power once more.

I'm not flat footed before acting, because I took the trait, Defensive Strategist. I presume that I wasn't able to enter into Crane Style though. If that's the case, then I will do so now.

You move away from the dragon, and it follows, believing you to be fleeing in its hubris. It easily catches up with its speed.
It unleashes its breath upon you once it closes to 30ft.
The dragon manages to twist and turn, dodging the hail of arrows sent its way save one that finds a weak spot near its wing. In its frantic attempts at dodging the arrows lead it right into the blade of the novenarut, but not before it gets a bite at it. In anger, it unleashes its fury into the Novenarut.

The dragon is extremely surprised at the kungfu pigeon that manages to pierce its scales, it recovers quickly, and angrily enough to dodge the second strike. It decides to show this pigeon who rules the skies.
Full attack.

Falcatania narrows her eyes and smiles a grim smile as switches her focus from defense. She dodges to the side of the freezing breath and shrugs off the remaining cold. Now that the dragon has closed the gap she sees the opening she needs. Flying directly towards the beast, and then curving slightly to the left, her arms stretch out unnaturally far to swing her Falcata, held in both hands, at her scaly foe.
After her swing, the half-orc watches the dragon, waiting at a distance for any opening to slash out once more.

Slate is unfazed by the breath and unleashes his built up energy. A spear of stone emerges from the ground and races at the dragon.
Bob seeing the dragon releasing it breath does not even dodge from his spot and lets it envelop him, snearing at the dragon in pure contempt as it dissipates.
"What was that! I've felt summer breezes with more bite then that! Your no better then a god damned over grown newt, damned pathetic over grown lizard!"

You slash out at young dragon, causing a large gash along its side. In pain and anger it lunges at you, however you easily take the hit from the bite and bring your weapon down, severing the head clean off.

Your warriors then make quick work of the dragon bringing it down in a hail of steel and arrows.
You have 10 rounds until your next combat, feel free to post any actions, and make any changes based on that (such as your constructs regeneration, a fascinatingly strong ability for a construct.)
Its quite a sight, a songbird doing battle and going toe to toe with a dragon, even a young one. It even manages to pierce the dragons scales. It lashes out angrily, more out of frustration and rage than anything else. It shouldn't have such trouble ridding itself of such a small nuisance.

I just realized, since I'm super consistent and all, I might as well include a Round 6.

If I took damage, then here's another lay on hands:
If I was forced to use Hero's Defiance because the Dragon got a few lucky crits in and my HP was reduced to 0, then assume that said lay on hands was used as an immediate action and add the following:
EDIT: That first attack is looking like a miss, so here's a Round 7

Hopefully, that's enough to do the Dragon in, so I don't waste time.

round 6
The dragon's world fades to black, the humiliation of being defeated by a songbird thankfully does not weigh long upon it. But at least, as its vision fades, he knows he lands two solid strikes against the foul creature.
Dragon: dead
Mu: -2 hp
A minute after the first battle started, the arena around you begins to blur, shift and distort until there is a loud snap and you find yourselves in a dark cave, with no source of light save rivers of lava flowing around you.
new map-
there are 5 platforms about 30ft in diameter, each platform about 10ft away from each other. Separating them is a running river of lava. The ceiling is covered in stalactites and is about 100ft up. The arena is circular, the width is 120ft across, and 110ft in length. You find yourself on the middle platform, 60ft away from either side, and 55ft away from what appear to be exits that go further into the caves though they are blocked by magical barriers. There is no sight of your enemy even the round has started.
the platforms are laid out in a way similar to this- The top and bottom two are touching the barriers sealing the area. O=platform.

You each hear in your head. Hehehe, All I have to do is kill you to be released? Hahaha! This will be easy, and fun. You can't hide from me.

After the voice appears his head Bob the magnificent turns slowly with his axe at the read looking for signs of his opponent.
"Are you gonna fight or are you just gonna hide and talk me to death, because I have only been hear a few seconds and you are already providing less entertainment for me then the overgrown newt I just butchered."
Falcatania will look around for signs of an enemy. If she sees one within 70 feet she'll fly and attack it. If not she'll ready an attack against any opponent who she detects within 15 feet of her (so her reach.)

Look around using Sense Perfection (Detects people with Ki Pools), if Mu sees nobody then he will fly behind a pillar and use stealth. After that, he'll use Total Defense (+6 AC) until the enemy makes a move.

huh. No imps, oh well. less paperwork haha.
You glance around the new arena, The heat from the lava pelts you and distorts the air, making it difficult to see well. Suddenly a sharp pain springs up in your ribs as a hot dagger finds a chink in your armor. Behind you on lean limbs the color of spilt blood stands a being of sinister grace. Eyes like embers and a sneer full of needle-thin teeth gleam from an unmistakably fiendish visage. A pair of crimson wings sprout from the back of the hairless humanoid form, fluttering silently like an assassin’s cloak, while in one hand it clutches the twisted, dagger-like horn of some infernal terror now washed in your blood.
You quickly retaliate with a strike, cutting a deep gash along the left side of its chest.
Falcatania: -24
Devil: -25
You flutter about the cover and darkness in the ceiling, but you cannot spot your enemy. In your head, you hear a whispering voice like a wisp of smoke. Show yourself now, It'll make it easier and quicker on both of us. I will find you, its just a matter of how long.
Nothing moves but the flowing lava, until one of your constructs notices an odd shape among the lava, it appears to be part of a face of something.
Nothing answers your question. For several long seconds, everything is still, but then you catch the flicker of movement from the corner of your eye and just barely dodge away from a dagger strike. You swing your axe in response but the creature nimbly dodges away and you can finally get a good look at it. Standing 5ft from you, on lean limbs the color of spilt blood stands a being of sinister grace. Eyes like embers and a sneer full of needle-thin teeth gleam from an unmistakably fiendish visage. A pair of crimson wings sprout from the back of the hairless humanoid form, fluttering silently like an assassin’s cloak, while in one hand it clutches the twisted, dagger-like horn of some infernal terror.
As you finish quaffing the potion, A sharp sting erupts from your left back, as you turn you see a creature on lean limbs the color of spilt blood stands a being of sinister grace. Eyes like embers and a sneer full of needle-thin teeth gleam from an unmistakably fiendish visage. A pair of crimson wings sprout from the back of the hairless humanoid form, fluttering silently like an assassin’s cloak, while in one hand it clutches the twisted, dagger-like horn of some infernal terror now washed in your blood.
Slate HP: -13
You see nothing of note through the smoke, though you hear in your head.
Trying to Hide are we, precious, but I will find you, it's but a matter of time.
Slate reaches into the plane of earth and sends a small boulder hurling at the new creature.
Slate misses, but the boulder crashes into a wall and does quite some damage. He gestures at the creature, "Come pewny creature."
"Ah good, there you are. That's a nice hit, you just have to do more like it quickly next time."

As the Dagger slides past bobs armour he turns to grin maniacally at the strange gangly creature as his muscles and body mass seem to expand more then what was previously thought possibly, while his axe sparks of electricity intensify even more.
"Hehehe, Bob thinks you played your hand to soon, you just made bob happy angry!"
Bob the Righteous then proceeds to unleash a flurry of blows at the creature.
Free action to enrage
Full action to unleash a hopefully large can of whooping on this gremlin!.

"Careful, don't fly over the lava." The Novenarut identifies the creature, and directs the two Ja Noi to move to near the edge of the lava pool and take shots. Unlikely to hit, but perhaps able to pressure the creature into acting. They stay as far apart as they can while still all of them being able to see the creature, two Ja Noi taking the flanks.

The bird knows better than to listen to the creature's goading, and instead continues to search for the creature. There aren't many places to hide in this arena, after-all. And low level invisibility isn't likely to last a particularly long time.
Move Action 1:
Move Action 2:
I'll keep the previous stealth & Initiative score, if at all possible.
If Mu finds the enemy at any point, or if the enemy chooses to reveal themselves for any reason, he will attempt a charge attack...while fighting defensively.
Note that this will provoke an attack (before I get the opportunity to fight defensively) since I need to enter into the enemy's square before I can attack them.
In line with what I've stated previously, here are Perception checks for the first 1 minute, minus the ones in the first round.

If any of these are nat 20s, and I still don't see the bastard, then I will try again at minute 7.
Move Action 1:
Move Action 2:
If that still fails, then I will take 20 for 2 minutes just in case Invisibility was cast. If the above role was a natural 20, then I will ignore taking 20 and just move into the center of the arena (at the very highest point) and ready an action to use Lay on Hands on myself if I take damage. The same will happen should my take 20 fail.
As before, if at any point I see the a&+~&$&, I dive bomb him with the aforementioned charge attack.
