The Captain's Caper! (Dunamin judging)

OOC: Is garyh on vacation and I missed the warning? I'll try PMing him. Just need Hrav's actions to finish this round because what Alex and Girth did isn't enough yet to say its over...

I'll give him a day or two to respond now that I PM'ed him. If we don't hear from him by then, I'll NPC him for this round.

Another shuriken flies from the bushes towards the dragon, but this one seems to glance harmlessly off the dragon's scales, despite the distraction from Quag. Nonetheless, Hrav does manage to keep out of sight as he draws another shuriken.

-Quagmire pokes at the dragon trying to distract her for Hrav again. She snarls at him enough for him to figure that he succeeded.

-Alex carves into the dragons hide once more, loosing more of her blood upon the ground. (7 damage)

-Hrav throws another shuriken from hiding, but this one misses the mark. Hiding once more, he draws another shuriken to use shortly.

-Girth unleashes his magic upon Kartharath and hurts her further, though she still stands her ground. (12 damage)

-Kartharath screams her rage and unleashes a new cloud of darkness to surround herself and blind Alex and Quagmire. Hrav and Girth can see nothing but the inky black cloud hiding the dragon and their comrades.

-Quagmire, Alex, Hrav, and Girth can go...

[sblock=Round 9: Init/Status]19- Alex / hp 15/41, bloodied, 5 ongoing acid damage, regen 4hp at start of any turn when he's bloodied
18- Hrav / hp 10/31, bloodied
20- Girth / hp 28/35
29- Kartharath / hp -204
29- Quagmire / hp 15/31, bloodied[/sblock]

Recharge breath weapon on 5 or 6 (1d6=6)

Alexander swears as darkness blinds him again, and retreats, gritting his teeth, ready to the dragon's reaction. Coming out of the pool of darkness, he sets himself like a spring, ready to jump at Kartharath again as soon as he can see her.

[sblock=actions]Same tactics: Take 5 ongoing, regenerate 4; Move to F20; ready to charge: 28 vs AC, 11 dmg, trying to flank and marking, of course.; Save made, finally.[/sblock]

Quagmire cautiously backs out of the mist, retreating to the north.

[sblock=actions]Shift NE, then move to E21.

Ata, be careful, it can still see you and your move might provoke OAs depending on whether it moved after hiding.
[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]Eh, I know, but what can I do about it? I can't bring myself to leave it alone, I want to keep it under Alex' mark, and readying charges has worked till now.
It's almost dead, anyway. And Quag does have one more Inspiring word, doesn't he?[/sblock]

edit:[sblock=ooc]also, cov, quag is very near to Alex there. If it gets us both in a breath it's gonna be bad![/sblock]

Girth curses volubly as the dragon disappears into her dark cloud once more. Just about to shoot off another arcane blast, he stopped himself just in time. "Better not my friends hit", he muttered as he considered other options.

For a moment he stood in silence and then he moved cautiously a little closer to his prey, darting into the shadows as he did so.

[sblock=OOC]Move to E22, Shadow Walk, gain concealment.[/sblock]

OOC: Just need Hrav so I can finish the round.

*Friendly Bump!*
Garyh's been missing for a few days I think... hope it's just a busy week.

OOC: If he doesn't post in a day or two, I'll NPC him.
