The kobold's backpack is knocked loose from his shoulder and some of its contents come spilling out. Jax, still blinded, feels at the ground with his hands and returns the lost items where they belong... all except the potion bottle he comes across. He surely couldn't hit the dragon with a dagger in this condition, so he instead takes a breather and quaffs the healing potion.[sblock=Nature DC15]More than any other kind of dragon, brown dragons are driven nearly as much by the desire to discover new tastes as by the need to accumulate a hoard. They so love eating that they sometimes take risks in combat merely to “sample” one or more of their foes. Thus, a brown dragon might take a bite instead of making a more tactically advantageous attack for the chance to taste an enemy, especially a creature it has not previously encountered.Brown dragons prize elf flesh for its succulence and tenderness, and least prefer dwarves, whose tough meat they consider unpalatable unless it is aged"You wish to contain me? You will adorn my chamber you pathetic whelp!" it roars, its attention off of Jax, for the moment, as it turns into a cloud of sand again, moving through Crag, and leaving the warforged unable to see the threat. It opens its maw and unleashes more burning sands that both Finch and Crag withstand, but Dorn can't dodge the sands and it slams into the half-orc, scouring his flesh and leaving him a bloody mess on the ground. The dragon refuses to relent, biting twice down on Crag, tearing out chunks from him, but it spits them out. "I want the sweet meat, leave me the orc and I'll let you live" it commands[sblock=Nature DC 20]A brown dragon’s breath weapon is a blast of supernaturally hot and stinging sand that corrodes flesh and blocks all visibility[sblock=Nature DC 25]A brown dragon makes its lair under the sands, in a hollow within a ruin, a cave, or a similar structure. A lair can consist of several such chambers, each one an island of air surrounded by an ocean of smothering sand. A brown dragon doesn’t need tunnels—it can burrow between the rooms of its lair without difficulty.[/sblock][/sblock][/sblock][sblock=Unlocked Monster Stats]Reflex is higher than 18, but lower than 23AC is 22[/sblock][sblock=OOC]*Feel free to post in any order, but actions will be resolved in initiative order below*Dragon has now taken approx 160 damage or so.
