Later, at the tavern.... "So hey Lutty, I think I'll have a brown ale please! No wait, a stout! Errr.. actually, a wheat beer! On fourth thought, a porter! Oh right, pale ale is the way to go!! Hmmm... perhaps some spirits instead...a nice rum!!! Uh no...how's about a brandy!! Or whiskey?? Ah, right...let's go with a lager! Uhhh... Hey I think I got it right the first time. Brown ale please!!! "That's for my first drink!! And for my second......" Busta proceeds to wear out Lutorinus' ear talking through another dozen alcoholic drinks..... then another... then another... Thanks everyone for the fun game! You are all a very fun group with larger than life characters!! GM XaveTheNerd, thank you very much for GMing!! Yah, I can see how this scenario is very confusingly laid out. But your efforts are much appreciated! And a big congrats on graduation and landing that first job! Hope all goes well!!!

Just in case if there's anything relevant in those rooms, I've moved our tokens to that area.

Are there any unexplored areas left? The very bottom of the map is just the entrance, right? If that's unexplored and has anything significant, we'll go there. Otherwise Busta will say... "Welp, nothing much here. Shall we finish the ritual and move on to Lutty's favorite activity? Kekeke!"

"Alrighty then!! First, we explore the remaining rooms. Then the brainy ones do the ritual. And lastly.....DRINKS ON LUTTY!!!!" Busta darts off to the next room.... I've moved our tokens to the next room.

"The lure of free booze at the end of the ritual isn't enough...?" queries Busta looking somewhat confused.

Busta looks over at Val Covan and Lutorinus then says, "So, how about you big brains do the ritual thingy, yah? The sooner the better because once we're done, I do believe Lutty over there owes us all several rounds of drinks!! Courtesy of a tied up dragon a few rooms over! HA!! Ale, beer, spirits, wine for all!!!!" Bust grins gleefully at the thought of free alcohol...

"Hmmm... Let's see about grabbing that item... This may take a while..." Can we take 20 to climb up there? If so, Busta's take 20 for climb comes to 26. If not allowed, here's a roll... Climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Busta also looks over the skeleton to try and discern the cause of death.
He'll also look around the area to see if there's anything else to find.

Seeing the paper crumble to dust, Busta slaps Luotrinus on the back and says, "Welp Lutty, this way to dem tracks! kekeke!" Not being the best tracker around, Busta will assist someone more skilled...

Busta shrugs and says, "Here goes nuthing!" Busta then attempts to grapple the jelly bread spread. Grapple attack, bless: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26 If Busta is successful:
Busta attempts to maintain as a move action...

Nah, Busta won't bother with grappling these 'bug'gers. It'll save Busta having to clean up blood guts all over himself when the rest of the guys squash em! Besides, I'm not entirely sure he can while having also gone total defense.

"I'll draw their attention, don't worry about me and blast, bash, slash, or poke away!" And with that, Busta drops into his stance, dashes into the room's far corner and focuses on dodging all incoming attacks! Move action to move in and standard to go total defense with a current AC of 34. If anyone wants to drop AOE attacks, go for it and don't worry about Busta. Val, you've been moved 5 feet south.

I've moved our tokens to the bug room following marching marching order. Should we buff (if desired) then head straight into initiative? I imagine Cervantes and Roldala will smash these bugs in no time... Hehe

So it sounds like we'll skip over the dragon hoard for now? If the party wishes to bypass searching through the hoard for the moment, Busta will acquiesce to the group's wishes, but he will take a passing glance to see if he spots anything of particular interest. Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 "Lutty, were those red bugs a swarm of bugs? Or was it several oversized bugs?

OK gotcha. In that case, Busta is gonna cast barkskin because I'm rusty and didn't realize the duration was 10 min/level, putting this at 70 mins. Before moving on, Busta focuses inwards and draws upon mystical energies, toughening his skin... Reponding to Roldala, "Wow, your cheerfulness at getting 3 free drinks is blindingly upbeat!" Busta says to the dragon, "Blemia, tell us where's your loot and more about what we can expect down here, will ya? We'll then make sure you don't come to an untimely end. Wouldn't want to deprive you of the opportunity for a future rematch after all!"

"Well, it has been a pleasure Blemia. You will always be remembered as my first." Busta winks at the dragon. Turning to his teammates, "Y'know I never thought much about what to do with a dragon after its been subdued. Do we interrogate it? Kill it? Knock it unconscious but let it live? Skin it alive? Tickle it to death? I'm not sure. What do you guys think? "I'm leaning towards questioning Blemia about other parts of this place, then we knock it unconscious but I'm fine with whatever the group decides." Busta will also search the chamber for traps, secret doors and most importantly, loot! GM, for the purposes of buffs, how long would you say we've been in here?

Yup, Busta will attempt to pin AND tie up the dragon! As a move action, Busta attempts to maintain the grapple.
Busta, pinky dragon toe in one hand, reaches out and grabs a tiny bit of dragon wing in another hand deftly twists them around, finding pressure points on both, causing the dragon to bend down a knee!! Swinging himself up on top of the dragon, Busta lands on the back of the dragon's neck. Now located in a superior position, Busta lets go of the dragon claw and wingtip, then quickly reaches out forward from behind the dragon's head, each hand grasping a nose hair from each of the dragon's nostrils! Leaning back with all his body weight, the pain of a halfling wrestler plucking nose hairs forces the dragon down further as Busta pins the dragon!! As a standard action, Busta will try to maintain again.
Holding the dragon in place, Busta releases the chain around his body, and wraps it around the dragon's neck, securing it to the base of the dragon's wing - effectively chaining its neck to it's wing and limiting its movement. Next, drawing upon an infinite amount of rope from his robe, Busta maneuvers himself across the dragon's body, criss-crossing back and forth, left and write, up and down, resulting in a hogtied dragon. Carefully, Busta lets go at first uncertain if the rope and chains will hold. Once he does let go, Busta examines his handiwork, ensuring a tight bond with no slippage. Satisfied the dragon is tied, Busta says, "I wish to know the name of the first dragon I've ever seen AND have ever subdued!! What, if you would be so kind... is your name?? My name is Busta Jawz!! You would do well to remember that as it will be whispered for years to come amongst your brethren, dear dragon!!" Turning to Lutorinus with a grin, Busta says, "So Lutty!!! Three rounds of drinks for each of us, was it??" Out of the side of his mouth, in a lower tone, Busta says to everyone else, "Psssst... Let's order the good stuff, yah??" Wooo!! Thank you guys! Been YEARS since I first thought up this character and I've enjoyed finally getting him to this point!

Hey guys. Will post ASAP! Got off a horrific 17 hour work day and need some sleep...

Busta manages to locate the dragon's pinky toe, grabs it and performs a 360 body twist, applying leverage upon that toe, forcing the dragon into a grappled position! Honestly, what part of a dragon can a little halfling grab in order to grapple a dragon?? "Dear dragon, it doesn't matter to me as I know our victory is assured. But if you don't want to draaaagg-on this wrestling match, I will accept your surrender here and now!!!"

Peering around the corner, wait is that...?? No can it be?? It's a DRAGON!! Busta nearly squeals in excitement!! Faced with a creature of this size and peril, does he do the smart, sensible thing? Does he tap into his qi powers and toughen himself with barskin? Does he imbue himself with ki energy, making him a tougher target to hit? NO!! Of course not!!! It's a DRAGON! Every last shred of sensibility melts away.... As is second nature for Busta, he immediately, instinctively enters snapping turtle stance, glances down to ensure his chain is at the ready and dashes off straight towards the dragon! Still mindful of Cervantes' love of charging straight towards targets, however, Busta takes a long way around towards the dragon - making sure not to block Cervantes when he inevitably decides to charge into the fray! I put an arrow on the map to show Busta's path. With longstrider he has 60' of movement but I count 50' with this move action. While moving into position, Busta announces, "Dragon!!! You have the honor of being the very first in a long, long, looooong line of dragons about to submit to me!! We shall battle each other like civilized beings!! Hand-to-hand!! errrr... Hand-to-dragon claw... errrr... and dragon tail.... errrrr... and dragon bite....." For but the briefest moment, Busta is thinking perhaps he should have activated his barkskin qi powers... but no matter!! "I do you as great an honor as you do me!!! Prepare to be subdued!!!!" And having moved up to the massive dragon, the poor little, seemingly misguided, halfling Busta Jawz reaches out and attempts to latch onto a dragon leg... or claw... or wingtip... or nose hair...? Whatever he can possibly get a grip on! Grapple attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 20 = 31

Woo! A dragon! Unfortunately, it's the start of a work day for me at the moment. Will post once I'm home after work... Probably about 12 hours from now.

I've moved our tokens northwards to the steps.

"Woo! I get a cookie!" says Busta as he delightfully accepts the cookie and takes a bite.

"Ahh.... The peace and love with this team is so tangible you can almost taste it! Right Val?" smirks Busta. I've moved our tokens in more or less marching order towards the pool of water.
