Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Ref Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Resist cold: 5

Total Cold damage: 0 (1/2 damage for save=5-5 for Resist Cold)

A young white dragon hovered about fifteen feet away and fifteen feet up.

&+£/*#!! Been a while since I fought a dragon in PF. Should we start consider new characters at this point? :-)

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Ouch... burning CMW to cast SNA3, from the safety of the prisoner room... full round action, so things only happen on the following round.

Matheus looked up, eyes suddenly wide as he heard the shriek of titanic fury from the chamber the others had just entered and saw the burst of icy vapor fill the room, blocking his vision momentarily. Whatever was in there was dangerous and clearly extremely annoyed at the intrusion.

"Get the abyss out of here! Help those who can't walk by themselves!" the druid shouted at the prisoners before beginning an invocation of summoning. He didn't know what was going on but it seemed certain his friends needed what assistance they could get.

initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
acrobatics: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21
Ner looked up at the dragon and stood there dumb ... for a full moment. He crouched as if ready to pounce, drew his sword, he gave a little silent snarl ... and ran out of the room!
Hustling out of the room. 20' to get to the door for the first move then 20' to duck around the corner and hide in the rough shape of the wall

initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Petronia's eyes widened in surprise and awe as she came face to face with a dragon. This was the last thing she had been expecting down here. She was all for a good fight but she wasn't suicidal.

Hoping that it wasn't too late to let sleeping dragons lie, she did her best to follow Ner out of the room as fast as she could. "We apologize for the intrusion. We'll just be going now."

acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Argh, forgot Ref save because that post was on the previous page

Ref,DC16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Ner ref save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 Fail, take full damage from breath attack last round
Petronia ref save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 Fail, take full damage too

?: 1d4 ⇒ 4
bite: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

The dragon screamed again, and flew at Oksana. Stretching out her neck, she bit at the witch with her needle like teeth. She struck true, piercing the witch's shoulder with dozens of deep punctures. She continued to fly, wheeling in the air at the other end of the chamber, prepared to fly at her again.

Everybody up

SNA3, summoning small Air Elementals: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Harrowed Summoning, suite: 1d6 ⇒ 1 Strength
Harrowed Summoning, card: 1d9 ⇒ 9 The Cyclone
Harrowed Summoning, suite: 1d6 ⇒ 5 Wisdom
Harrowed Summoning, card: 1d9 ⇒ 4 The Queen Mother

Could I have three minion tokens, please? A bit hard to place them as the dragon is constantly in motion (I believe it's not good enough to hover in place)... would prefer to drop them right on top of the dragon, but since they can move and act immediately they'll end up right around it anyway ;^)

"First card, the Cyclone. Unstoppable force, destructive impulses. I can only hope, in this instance," the druid murmured as he draw his Harrow cards to finish his summoning. "And the Queen Mother. Knowledge incarnate, beloved by and beloving of the underclass... us, one hopes, when facing an actual wyrm of all things!"

In the room filled with mist and snow, three vortexes of sentient air twisted themselves into being, boldly charging at the fearsome flying beast, easily dancing in the air around the more cumbersomely moving dragon, belting it with wind bursts that struck with the power of sledgehammers.

Elemental 1 vs dragon, to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Elemental 2 vs dragon, to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 Hope these are enough...
Elemental 2 vs dragon, damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Elemental 3 vs dragon, to hit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Elemental 3 vs dragon, damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

I wonder... what would it take for the perfectly-flying elementals to try and smack, pull and drag at the dragon's wings to force it to come to ground? They should be both faster and way more maneuverable than something of that size, so in theory they might be able to circle around it and make flying living hell for the horrifying beastie ;^) But of course, the rules don't exactly have anything on how one forces a winged creature to land.

Petronia growled at Oksana, "Get out of there, Mistress. I know you can move far better on ice than me so me dragging you out of there wouldn't make much sense."

The brawler had no intention of going back into the room with the dragon but she wasn't about to leave Oksana alone with the creature either.

Not sure what else Petronia can do at the moment. She doesn't really want to fight the dragon if she can help it :)

By the way, did Petronia take full of half damage from the breath? She did roll for save, but Angie perhaps missed it since she rolled for Petronia in her next post... anyway, I missed the fact that Matheus's summon ended at the start of this round, so he still has his action to do... thus, a bit of healing for Petronia again.

CLW for Petronia: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"Any chance we could lock the door again, once Oksana makes it back here?" the druid asked as he hurried to Petronia's side, his wand already in hand, to deal with her latest wounds. Frost burns - at least she kept making things interesting for him. "That's assuming you didn't see anything we need to get or go to?"

Also, we haven't been keeping a party pool, but I checked back and we have, from the last two encounters, we have 1 CMW potion, 5 CLW potions, 4 unlabeled potions and 1 scroll of Flaming Sphere. I doubt we took the druid's hide armor as stripping it off him would have taken a bit more effort than pocketing potions we already found, and Matheus already used up the new CLW wand to help the prisoners. I suggest we distribute the known healing potions at this point. And I hazard a guess those 4 unlabeled ones might be elemental resistance (Cold) potions...

Feeling the burning wounds from the dragon, Oksana begins to back away towards the door. She flings a sleep hex at the beast, in hopes to slow it down some.

Sleep: DC-17

Ner tucked himself against the wall as tightly as possible and reached into his pack for the one potion that hadn't fallen out during their travels. He knew his little bow would do nothing in that room except get him killed and that his only hope was to wait and see if it came to him ... where it couldn't fly.
drinking potion of clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Very grateful for all of those 1s you rolled

Oksana - can you move your token on the map so I know where you're moving too?

Petronia took the half damage - she and I cross-posted, so I hadn't seen her saving throw.

Not sure how we would deal with trying to tangle the dragon's wings. Grapple perhaps? If they could successfully grapple the wings, then it wouldn't be able to fly. How about a CMD vs CMD roll? They're small, and she's medium, and she has a pretty high CMD, but you never know, they could roll a 20.

@Ner, yes, those 1's were annoying!

"Any chance we could lock the door again, once Oksana makes it back here?" the druid asked as he hurried to Petronia's side, his wand already in hand, to deal with her latest wounds. Frost burns - at least she kept making things interesting for him. "That's assuming you didn't see anything we need to get or go to?"

Petronia grunted, "That's the plan. Get her out and slam the door. Ner should be able to lock it again provided I can keep it shut. As for the room, I saw nothing apart from ice on the floor while keeping my balance and an angry dragon in the air. We have Skagni so that's all that matters at the moment. I'm not about to tangle with a dragon of any age in order to see where that door leads to."

The brawler motioned at the Witch to move faster, "Let's get going, your Highness."

Oksana's hex slid off the dragon without her even noticing it. The moment Oksana cleared the doorframe, Petronia slammed the door shut. It clicked locked automatically, and behind the heavy door they heard the dragon screaming with rage. However, the door didn't rattle - she didn't seem to be trying to get through it.

What now?

Actually, there's not really that much left to do. Part 2 basically ends here, with rescuing Skagni. It doesn't really wrap anything up with a tidy bow, because the rest is in Part 3.

So, unless there are any objections, we'll end it here. Thanks so much for playing, everybody!

Totally understandable. Thanks for the fun!

Thank you for the run!

Wooo! Thanks Angie!

Awesome!! thanks for the great game Angie!! Maybe I should run one for your guys on here!!
