The  creature's jaws clamp shut on the dragon's forward leg, and with  supernatural skill it pulls the dragon off its feet.  Even as it falls, Devinihm is engulfed with the otherworldly light of  his ancestors, slipping through the glowing portal to appear closer to  his toad. As he does so, Dante's eyes glow briefly with the same light.  The toad, left to its own devices, lashes out again, but again fails to connect. Jonathan runs into place. With a clear line to the dragon, he holds his  spear directly in front of his face and motions forcefully forward while  at the same time making an almost imperceptibly high screech. In an  instant, the area is filled with swarming bats. Jonathan directs them  toward the dragon, hoping to hinder this most formidable of foes.While in the grasp of the mighty dragon the warlord plunges his weapon  into the beast, all the way to the hilt. The dragon roars in pain and  loosens his grip on Max. which allows him to break free of the his  grasp.  The warlord stabs at the dragon again, but misses.Dante's kama-chain flickers faster than the eye can follow, bouncing off  each of the hardest parts of the dragon then finally finding one weak  spot.  "Don't go for those 6 places," Dante says, checking his kama to see if they are bent or something.I AM NOT LIKE YOU! Draglin shouts. I'LL NEVER BE LIKE YOU! I AM BRAVE AND JUST AND HONORABLE! AND THOU ARE A SCALY FIEND WHO DESERVES TO FACE MY WRAITH! he  shouts his eyes glowing a deep blue. His swords flash in the torchlight  as he prepares himself for what could be his final act.  His blades flash in a flurry of attacks aimed at the dragon. A thousand  cuts, a thousand slashes, and thousands blows land on the dragon. Each  one delivering more pain than the last. In seconds he lacerates the  dragon's entire body with dozens of cuts, each one striking a vital  area.  COME GET SOME MORE! the fighter shouts. I AM READY TO DIE FOR MY HONOR!After a pummeling the dragon roars in defiance.  The blood runs from  numerous cuts about its neck, face and the arm that grasps Draglin.  It  opens its mouth in a defensive measure, incinerating the toad and  burning all others nearby except for Max.Unable to maintain the fey glamour for long, Mab flickers back into the  dragon's field of vision, just as it is brought low by Draglin's  onslaught. "Now do you see, you greeble-grubbing brute? We have the blessings of the Seelie court, and our fury is lethal!," the old woman taunts, unleashing a barrage of flying blades that further flay the flesh from the fanged fiend.  "Resistance is futile," the wily crone adds, "you can't hope to fight a foe that can be everywhere and nowhere at once! After all, I'm not even really here," she says darting into hiding behind a rock.The dragon lashes out instinctively, slamming the claw holding Draglin to the ground.  When it lifts up the claw the fighter remains on the ground bleeding out.  It swipes at Dante with the other claw but the ranger ducks easily. So you are not mere mercenaries, but true heroes.  I will not die here today!  roars the dragon before standing and challenging Dante again but only landing one hit.  It flies up out of the cloud of bats towards the exit and as it goes by Max lashes out with his longsword but misses.[sblock=mechanics] Wow, dragon is on his last legs already.  I better make this count.Instinctive assault - Dragon will use claw on Draglin HIT and Dante MISS, Draglin is now dying at -11hpRecharge YES and ongoing damage 5Move: Stand upStandard: Claws on Dante HIT and MISSAP: Fly to new location (EDIT, provokes AoO from Max, not Dante)Draglin needs to make his death save first, Jonathan had "higher" initiative than him.  Dante and Mab tied him at 18[/sblock][sblock=status]Vlassick (young red dragon, advanced) hp: 66/428 AP: 1AC 27  Fort 25  Ref 22  Will 22  Resist 15 fireMBA Bite Melee 2 +16 vs AC for 2d10+8 and grabbed (escape DC 23) takes ongoing 5 fireTrigger (enemy leaves a square within 2 of the dragon) Melee 3 +14 vs Ref for 1d6+7 and knocked proneStatus: Marked by Draglin, Devinihm 14/51     AP: 1  bloodiedJonathan    45/45     AP:  1     Swarm of bats N14Auntie Mab  53/56  AP:  1  Stealth 31Draglin -11/64       AP:  0  dying (0/3)Dante 7/57            AP: 0  bloodiedVirgil 11/78                       bloodiedMax            39/62           AP: 0  Allies +2 damage TENT (Jonathan/Devinihm only)[/sblock]</blockquote>
