(CSRHoD) Creamsteak's Red Hand of Doom II [IC]

Hearing his allies cries of pain and seeing doom on the horizon, Pender snarls at his foe "I'll be back for you", before stepping away from the entangled dragonspawn and charging along the battlefield towards the barghest, his greatsword held aloft.

Warren! Avril's inner voice cries out as the halfling starts to falter against the barrage of attacks. On top of that the dragon had drawn closer and Avril could feel the power of its flying form even from here. They were horribly exposed, and she could feel it. But, there was no real cover anywhere, and there was nowhere to flee to that would give them any respite from that dragon. She just hoped they would make it. Spirits protect us!

There was no real chance to get to Warren to heal him. So she needed to take more enemies down before they had a chance to make him fall. Urging Mandla on to continue the battle against the barghest, she focused her attention on the other creatures around. She hurled balls of flame at the nearest dragonspawn, burning into its flesh and hopefully getting it away from Warren and indeed Larian.

Avril's Character Sheet
[/SBLOCK]
 

For a moment, Siobhan's magically-induced behavior had been an annoyance- but now they really needed the cleric back on their side. With a frustrated snarl, Tyrla invoked a spell-breaking dweomer, trying to end the barghest's charm. "Siobhan, snap out of it! Warren needs healing!"

OOC: Voracious Dispelling on Siobhan- one CL 8 Dispel Magic (targeted); if any spell effects are broken, the subject takes 1 HP damage per level of the spell removed. Then move 30 feet horizontally to the "right" of the map.
 


Get close enough for me to ward us all from the dragon's acid, Larian shouts to his allies. He then continues to back away from the barghest, not trusting his invisibility to keep him safe. Once out of reach, he reaches into the folds of his robe and produces a familiar magic wand. With a quick word and gesture, he sends three glowing globes of energy toward the remaining threats, hoping the dragon will hold off a little longer.

Initiatives
Tyrla 22
Avril 21
Siobhan 20
Warren 13
Larian 13
Pender 8
Hobgoblin 8
Dragonspawn
Dragon

Tyrla attempts to dispel Siobhan's mind-control effect, and succeeds. Siobhan is dealt some pain by the backlash (1 point).

Avril fires two bolts into the dragonspawn, but only one connects dealing 11 points of damage. Mandla ferociously attacks the barghest, but fails to hit the creature.

Siobhan moves around to Warren's aid, and without many healing options at her disposal decides that the most effective method of immediate healing would also be to use the staff provided to her earlier. She draws it while moving closer to the halfling, provoking an attack, which misses her. She then uses it, completely restoring Warren's hit points. (44/44)

Warren moves and strikes twice against the barghest, the first blow finishing it off. The barghest is now slain.

Larian moves back slightly and makes use of his wand, targeting the most injured dragonspawn. He deals 13 points of damage with a burst of force missiles.

Pender dashes to strike the nearest spawn, scoring a good solid hit but not quite dropping the monster.

The hobgoblins fire two arrows at Avril, missing both times.

The blackspawn raiders move in to attack, both flanking and targetting Pender. They don't use their power attack this time, opting to guarantee a good hit. They are both successful and deal 12 damage and 12 damage.

The dragon flies forth, moving into range and gliding just 10 ft. up above the ground (so just out of melee range).

The dragon vomits forth a sticky acid all-too-familiar to some, and this time without the wizards acid protection available.

The initial breath deals 25 damage, reflex save DC 20 for half. It is also clinging, so if you don't completely avoid it (evasion for example) you take half damage the following round (at the beginning of the dragons turn). You can spend a full round action removing the acid (additional ref save DC 20 to remove) or roll on the ground (same save, but +4 bonus) to try to avoid the extra damage.

The acid hits Avril, Pender, Siobhan, Warren, and Mandla. Avril has (I believe) acid resistance 5 from her armor. It also hits, but doesn't damage, the two remaining dragonspawn.

Avril saves (7 (12-5) damage, 1 (6-5) next turn).
Warren saves (no damage).
Pender saves (12 damage, 6 next turn). This drops Pender, unconcious at -8.
Siobhan fails to save (25 damage, 12 next turn).
Mandla fails to save (25 damage, 12 next turn). This drops Mandla, unconcious at -2.

Further, the creature's frightful presence takes effect. Only Tyrla is out of range right now.

Siobhan and Larian are both shaken for 14 rounds.

Larian moves to where he can affect as many of his companions as possible, and too late to prevent the first blast, casts his protective spell.

[sblock=ooc] Cast Mass Resist Acid, getting as many people as possible.
Hopefully Tyrla moves closer before my action.[/sblock]
