Ahto has trained in fighting while blinded, but not at range. He moves three long strides diagonally to the left of his current position and stops. He points his crossbow upwards and listens for the sound of the dragon's breath, or flapping of wings.
to see what he might know about the dragon, type, age, etc.
Varis thinks about all the lore he learned about The Cataclysm and The Fall of Men, about the gods and their servants that left or remained.
Could this dragon be one such?
It didn't attack? It cast a spell on us so we can't see it, while it can probably see us! Wake up man! Don't stay too close to each other!

He keeps his crossbow at the ready, firing if and when he is able to see the dragon.

double move is needed, Ahto. Good shot, but you missed anyhow.

EVOCATION [DARKNESS]
CASTING DC: 26
# OF SLOTS: 1
RANGE: Touch
TARGET: Object touched
DURATION: 10 min./Caster Level (D)
SAVING THROW: None
SPELL RESISTANCE: No
This spell causes an object to radiate shadowy illumination out
to a 20-foot radius. All creatures in the area gain concealment
(20% miss chance). Even creatures that can normally see in such
conditions (such as with darkvision or low-light vision) have the
miss chance in an area shrouded in magical darkness. Normal
lights (torches, candles, lanterns, and so forth) are incapable of
brightening the area.
School evocation [darkness]; Level bard 2, cleric 2, sorcerer/wizard 2
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, M/DF (bat fur and a piece of coal)
Range touch
Target object touched
Duration 1 min./level (D)
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no
This spell causes an object to radiate darkness out to a 20-foot
radius. This darkness causes the illumination level in the area to
drop one step, from bright light to normal light, from normal
light to dim light, or from dim light to darkness. This spell has
no effect in an area that is already dark. Creatures with light
vulnerability or sensitivity take no penalties in normal light. All
creatures gain concealment (20% miss chance) in dim light. All
creatures gain total concealment (50% miss chance) in darkness.
Creatures with darkvision can see in an area of dim light or
darkness without penalty. Nonmagical sources of light, such as
torches and lanterns, do not increase the light level in an area of
darkness. Magical light sources only increase the light level in an
area if they are of a higher spell level than darkness.
If darkness is cast on a small object that is then placed inside or
under a lightproof covering, the spell’s effect is blocked until the
covering is removed.
This spell does not stack with itself. Darkness can be used to
counter or dispel any light spell of equal or lower spell level.
"Spawn of Tiamat! You will not prevail!" Varis yells as he comes out of the darkness
He gets tanglefoot bag from his belt and targets the flier as it goes by.
- I'm not sure if throwing heavy bag uses strength or dexterity so the result is either +3 (dex based) or +7 (str based) vs touch AC

Let me check real quick. I think throwing the tanglefoot bag at a flying dragon counts as an improvised weapon.
Okay, if you have the Throw Anything feat (page 135 of the PFRPG) you would not suffer a penalty for throwing your tanglefoot bag at the black dragon.
EDIT: I checked your character, and you do not have a human bonus feat selected.
When you throw a tanglefoot bag at a creature (as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet), ... ....
Also, human feat was abandoned for save bonuses
Awareness (replaces bonus feat) +1 all saves, +1 concentration
Ah, okay.
The tanglefoot bag can be thrown, sure. I always thought it was moderately heavy. Hmm, let me check something.
Ah, your right.
I think you apply your dexterity bonus to a ranged touch attack, so recalculate your strike including your dexterity bonus.
I think all of you are out of the darkness. Lyzannder, Solinari is waxing, nuitari is full, and Lunitari is waning.
Trying to keep his wits about him as he remembers what he knows, from his studies, about dragons
[i] Dragons? How can that ne, they have not been present in Krynn since the time of Huma Dragonbane? Think Lyzander, only the most powerful of mages, the legends say can hurt them. They are creatures of legend, stories told to frighten children. I am a member of the Order of the White Robes, my job is to use my magic to support and help people and to destroy this kind of evil, that if left unchecked will harm others. Think, think... [/b]
He mentally goes through the spells has has mememorized and feeling the strength of Solinari, pulls out a copper bar and bit of rabbit fur, rubbing them together, he begins to chant "Solinari’thar VELUNAK.
As a bolt of lightening erupts from his extended fingers

Miss!
[Poc]And did 9 hit dragons touch AC? In which case it maybe isn't flying anymore ;)[/ooc]
Kellandra hastily puts her sword down and nick an arrow on her bow.
But the arrow flies wide, as she shakes with fear at the sight of the mythical beast
Onyx has a AC touch of 10, but I'll roll her reflex save.
Drakkor will have to wait for his moment, lacking any substantial ranged attack capabilities, he moves defensively and watches for a chance to act…
Goldmoon's staff is glowing.
I already took my turn when the dragon spat acid against Varis.
So . . .
NEW ROUND! ROUND 2.
Ahto reloads, and looses another crossbow bolt at the dragon, hoping to hit it this time.
That's a miss.
It glances off her dragon scales.
Concentrating once again, the White Robe chants in the spidery language of magic. As he finishes his arcane ritual, 4 eldritch bolts emerge from his hand, in the shape of a elven long bow arrows to strike at the dragon.

Gotcha. The dragon retreats down the well, thanks to your magic.
Drakkor runs over to the well (Speed 40) and tosses a big rock after the diving Dragon!
Tired, exhausted,after casting some of his most powerful spells at the creature, the wizard states, We should get out of this open area and find a place to rest.
”Unless that dragon can change itself into a fish, I’d say that well is a way into a underground lair of some kind. You’re right. This is not the place we’d want to set up camp.”
”Which way from here?” Ahto asks Riverwind.
"No rest, lets get this done quickly before dragon recovers." Varis says "It could have healing wands or potions in its hoard. And know how to use them."
"It was fairly small as dragon legends go, it didn't survive here since Cataclysm, it is new. How?!"
"I got the staff from the ruined old pantheon," Riverwind says.
I never dreamt I would see a dragon alive. Now I just hope I will never see it from the inside. We have to fight it. You say it's still young, Varis? Could it went back to it's parents?
"I said it is small, not that it is young. In general, in legends, bigger means older, but maybe it was some kind of runt which explains why it could remain undetected for centuries."
Varis shrugs.
"Let's hope no parents are available or they'll just warn it not to play with food."
"Old or young, it's dangerous, and I'm guessing we haven't seen the last of it." He reloads his crossbow and looks to Riverwind. "Which way to the Pantheon?"
Goldmoon says, "This way." She leads you along to a domed building.
The White Robe wearily follows the Princess of the Que-Shu.
Drakkor shakes his head in frustration.
""The Gods...and now dragons have returned. Since the Cataclysm, could this get any worse?"
"Of course. It could be only dragons and no gods. That would be worse. But if there are chromatics...hopefully there are good dragons and Paladine too. Unless The Queen somehow entered the world and left gods behind. Then we're fudged."
Varis sounds concerned.
You enter the pantheon, and there are eighteen statues of the gods. One of them, a statue of Mishakel, holds out her hands. Goldmoon places the staff on those hands.
"Now we will see if the Gods have returned."
The staff glows with holy light.
Watching the process almost wistfully, Drakkor mutters quietly.
”I wish my staff could glow in the dark…”

You haven't given it a chance, for this game.
