Brick suddenly realizes that, because his club has bounced off of the dragon's head and fallen eighty feet to the floor below, the warforged is unarmed. Oops.
Unfortunately, he has an idea.
Standing stock-still, Brick glances furtively at the sword bound tightly to his left arm.
He glances at the dragon.
Then at the sword.
Then, back to the dragon.
He goes for it.
Brick draws the living sword from its sheath. It would seem almost comical, if not for the pure malevolence oozing from it.

Sorry for taking so long again...
Finishing the dragons turn, from 20' above the platform, it exhales another conic cloud of dust, hitting everyne atop the column.
Fortitude Saves: DC 18
Success: 1 point of con damage
Fail: 2 points of con damage, and age 2 years
After that, Jyra casts another acid arrow, and then leaves the chamber down the stairs on the right.

Fort save: 6+4=10 I still look hot for suddenly aging 2 years and yes this puts me at a -1 again!!
Beren watches as the Dragon takes off and spews forth a smothering dust cloud. The Shifter feels energy sapped from his body. As the dust settles into his skin, his body feels stretched and his lungs scream for breath. He momentarily drops to a knee and watches his hands and arms discolor in front of his eyes, reminding the Shifter of the ancient Elf in the locked room he encountered when he first entered this accursed place. He growls up at the Wyrm, but even this action is weakened as he coughs up dust filled phlegm.
The cloud of dust settles on Ruuz's skin and he grits his teeth as the dust seeps into his skin and his joints ache and then his vision darkens and he collapses to the floor again.
Valessa begins to cough uncontrollably as the dust envelopes her and wracking pains course through her chest and limbs.
Nothing appears to have happened. However, halfway through drawing his sword, Brick lets out an excited yell.
"I'M FOUR!"
"It's alright, it's alright..."
"Well thats just great, the crazy sword is talking to us yet again. Brick I hope you know what you are doing."
"Damn," Beren growls. "It's back in the air. We gotta take this thing down." The Shifter sheathes his swords and runs to his dropped bow.
Rokko looks at Beren momentarily, "Ask, and you shall receive." The Goblin turns his focus back on the Dragon and fires his crossbow. The bolt flies wide and Rokko looks at the weapon with big eyes. He starts to shake it, "This thing must be broken."
“Whoever thought slaying a dragon would be so hard,” growls Valessa, running back a few paces to her dropped bow and picking it up, letting her rapier fall to the ground.
Ruuz: 22+
Dragon: 22-
Brick: 12
Sari: 11+
Beren: 11-
Rokko: 7
Valessa: 6
Merreck: 4
\
Looks like Merreck, then Ruuz.
EDIT: beaten by 33 seconds!
Merreck throws another small glowing stone at the dragon, but it misses by a wide margin.
Running low on idea's Ruuz loads another crossbow bolt and fires at the dragon.

On their turn, everyone needs to make a spot check, DC 15+their current initiative number. (Ruuz, use DC 14 next round, or DC 37 this round)
When you pass:
Hovering in midair, directly above the center of the raised platform, a circular hole in reality seems to be forming, its edges tinted blue with arcane balefire.
The Dragon spends the turn flying to one end of the great room, lining up for its attack.
“What’s that?!” exclaims Valessa, pointing upward. “Some sort of … vortex?”
Ooohhhh...... oops.
Somebody play Brick's turn already...
Brick continues to look down at the sword trying to calm and soothe it with words, "Please don't cry. We will leave here soon, and then you can see the sun." He completely ignores the Dragon.
"Brick calm that stupid thing down please!!" Sari says as she prepares another arrow and lets it fly towards the dragon yet again... But at the last second as she lets the arrow fly Sari feels a wave of nasuea come over her and she leans a bit to the back and the arrow flies wide of the dragon.
Retrieving his bow, the Shifter nocks an arrow. To the side of him, Valessa mumbles something, but his concentration on the Wyrm takes precedence over his listening. Drawing back his bow, Beren fires at the beast.
Shaking his crossbow one more time, Rokko reloads, “I think I got this thing fixed.” He takes aim and fires.

Valessa:
You've seen this before:
The elder elf brings you to the control chamber late in one relative night (night being entirely relative when you are underground) and draws out a mithril disk from his cloak. As soon as the rooms light fall on it, an odd circular light forms in mid air, and he places the disk inside the light.
I won't fault you given the 6 months this encounter has taken...
Dragonmann:
A look of recognition dawns in Valessa’s eyes, and she suddenly begins rummaging in her pack for something.
“Our way out, or something else coming through?” she mumbles, mostly to herself.

Brick attempts to use the still-wailing sword to slash at the time dragon.
Brick crouches in a fighting stance, sword pointing straight up. He braces himself for the dragon's attack, ready to strike back. The warforged glances at the sword writhing in his grasp.
"You're a nice person."
Merreck takes a deep breath and calls upon the Traveler's luck once more, granting it to his companions.
Ruuz watches the dragon fly off wondering what it is going to do next and then he sees the strange hole.
"What the...."
Watching the dragon Ruuz loads his crossbow and sits back to see what happens.
