Round 10
The circus, somewhat depleted but on the rebound, capers around firing rays at the dragon. (all three PZ OAs miss. Skull and Red both hit. The dragon kills PZ 3 and 8 with OAs.)
The dragon lumbers back forward and makes to grab Shifty with a mighty claw, but he slips on a pile of zombie parts and misses. (breath fails to recharge. Dragon moves NE,E and fails to grab shifty. Weak! Dragon has reach 2 so doesn't trigger Fierce Rebuke.)

Shifty moves over and prepares to defend himself.
the Drum Major defends himself with his whirling bone staff, and whistles off to another member of the Small Car Troop (who promptly stands) before spewing more fire at the be-smudged dragon.
Red goes crosseyed while shooting lasers
The newly standing Car clown holds onto the dragons claw in hopes of keeping him from hurting Shifty.
Kalad nurses his wounds while Perky fires off at the dragon.

Round 11
The circus fails to damage the dragon this time, all their blasts going wide.
The dragon makes another pitiful attempt to grab the adept. Snarling, it retreats behind a rocky protrusion, ignoring the nearby zombie.
(fails to recharge breath. Fails to grab. Moves to T28-U29, taking an OA from PZ12. It has improved cover against Perky, Red, and Skull, and Shifty doesn't have LOS.)

The circus takes the moment of respite to pop off a few shots, the Drum Major moves over to see, then shouts at Mortimer Hey you maggoty meal of mutated mucous get up and start flinging that nasty stuff at the dragon again!!!
Everyone else begins to set up for the dragons inevitable return, except the Small Car Troop, who want a tasty of meaty dragon hide... And take off running to get behind him.
[sblock=OOC]
Starting next week the RP is going to get longer again... Sorry to all who are entertained, I know it's been getting shorter and shorter.
I assume improved cover = superior cover, if not adjust the attack roll numbers accordingly. currently all ranged against dragon are at -5.

Round 12
The circus waits for the dragon to emerge, with only Red risking a shot, which misses. (I'm afraid the Skull Lord can't raise Mort, since he's not undead. I picked PZ11 instead, just to keep things moving, but you're welcome to change that.)
The dragon collects itself and waits for a moment, casually swatting down the nearby zombies. (breath recharges. Claw attacks vs. PZ11 and 12 both hit.)

The Zed clowns and living clowns begin realizing how dire the situation may become...
They begin whispering back and forth, formulating a plan,
then seem to come to an agreement, and stop speaking.
The dragon hears some scratching around as the circus moves about, he feels like he knows where each one has moved. They keep making small whispers or drag limp body parts...
Some chanting seems to come from ahead, the dragon braces, and no bolt of energy comes... just a softly muttered thanks.
The Drum Major calls out, Knew guy! lone the fellow next to you a leg to stand on! Now No excuses, get up!
A subtle moan escapes as the Small Car Troop member shuffles to his feet. Don't let him get back here until shifty comes to his senses! Fire shooting out of his mouth toward the dragon for emphasis.
The dragon then has to jerk his head back to avoid an errant laser ray which scorches the wall beyond him, and using the cover, three pack zombies run by the dragon, hardly noticed, and block the way by linking arms and sticking out their bony bits.
some more shuffling...

ooc: Sorry, I missed your update. I rely on email notifications, I often don't notice updates right away.
Round 13
The circus shuffles round, the clowns forming a defensive line while Red and Skull fire off wild shots. (PZ1 and 7 need a double move to get in place, so no total defense.)
The dragon lumbers forward around the corner and, irked to find his way blocked by clowns, blasts them with icy breath. (breath weapon hits all three PZs, but misses skull. Not bothering to roll damage. rolls)

Shifty runs yelling about how the dragon tried to freeze his friends face off! He has completely lost track of his job in the party, and is soon realizing it...
The Drum Major wakes another undead clown from eternal slumber. coughing fire, waiting for some help to unclog the flumes...
Ringmaster Red spots the dragon moving and focus' every nerve on burning out the big buggers eyes! Blasting a fiery hole in one wing...
the only standing Small Car Troop member, helps out the Skull Lord, like a good undead servitor...
Kalad and Perky go back to back to ward off the EVIL dragon!
