Kathalia rapidly transmogrifies into her elf form (Wild shape - no shift). Though her feelings for Mikara are less than friendly, she has no wish for her to die. Well, not exactly.
"Earth Mother, help our troubled sister," she intones (Action point for Healing word on Mikara heals an additional 3 hp)

As the dragon adjusts to lash out at Atreus, Woe’s expertly tuned battle-senses draw him towards an opening, though it is just as soon gone.
“Bad dragon, bad! I mean, sure, it’s a blast to see you try and vomit people to death – hell, a great dwarven friend of mine have managed it on more than one occasion – but you picked the wrong crowd for target practice.”
“I don’t think you’ll work out as a pet; we’ll have to put you down… and it won’t be with any euthanization methods.”
Woe dives in to violate the dragon’s personal space, stomping off one of its wings, rolling under its trashing tail, and dodging a mess of fangs and claws until he finds himself on the other side. He spins around, lodges his spear deep in its side, and drives it away from his wounded friends, like a farmer lumbering wagon-sized haystacks with a pitchfork.
“Hey Tristan and My-Carer! If you two ain’t dead yet, you might want to spread out and circle around the dragon a bit before it launches another puke-storm!”
[sblock=Actions and Tactics]
Combat Challenge: Woe misses.
Move: Pass Forward to G10.
Standard: Tide of Iron hits the dragon for 12 damage and pushes it to J10, while Woe shifts to H11.
Minor: Woe stares hard at the dragon.
This was tricky to figure out, but now Tristan and Mikara are out of melee range. The dragon won’t be able to breathe on Tristan, either, without suffering -4 on attacks and a smack from Woe.

The fight seems to be out of Mikara, leaving her with nothing but spite as the acid spends itself out on her flesh. Too angry to aim properly, she lets two wild shots go flying nowhere near the dragon (in fact, one almosts hit's Woe), "Is that the best you can do mother f#$@er!?!?!?!?!?. I've seen anoles with more venom than you!"
[sblock=Actions]What actions!? She's immobilized, bloodied, and gets a -2 to attacks and saves (she's still too close), not to mention 10OG. And much as she would like to acknowledge Hacker, Woe, and Kathalia's wishes, she can't retreat.
It would seem, however, that Mikara's spunk is superseding even the most irresistible marks
. Shall she keep trying?
Standard: Twin Strike
Target: The dragon
Attacks: MISS! Of course (even without the -2 to attack, which I forgot to put in)!
Saves:
First 5og and Imm = 10
Second 5og and Imm = 16
-2 to attacks = 4

[sblock=OOC]Well jeez, I get busy for a couple days and I nearly die. Again. Well, I guess two character deaths would be a record, at least
Oh, and thank you muchly for the healing, Ken.
I was tempted to try to hit the dragon with Radiant Vengeance (which if it hit would heal me 4 and give 4 thp, the same effective gain as 2nd wind), but decided that the defense boost would help more. Not to mention that RV doesn't have a good chance to hit the stupid lizard, either.
What's sad? The defender, leader, and controller have all contributed more damage in this fight than this striker has.[/sblock]
As Hacker's healing magic sweeps over Tristan, he wakes to find himself on the ground and burning from acid. Reacting quickly, he tries to fling some of Dayna's power to Hacker in return while removing most of the acid with what's left of his cloak, then tries to staunch the bleeding from the previous wound.
The elf stumbles to his feet, finding the strength to lift his sword once again. He seems somewhat more alive than moments ago, though he still can't seem to move and the old wound continues to bleed."Well, that was unpleasant, dragon. As soon as I can move again, I'll show you what I think of that." He grimaces as another wave of pain shoots through him.
[sblock=Actions]Save vs. ongoing acid & immob for last round: 1d20+2-2=19. Well that's some good news at least - only 5 ongoing damage for this round.
Cov - would it be ok if I used CD: Divine Guidance to give Hacker a double roll on Blunder? If so, I'll do that.
Start of turn - 5 ongoing damage.
Standard: Second Wind. Regain 8 hp, +2 to all defenses TSNT. (+12 from Hacker, -5 ongoing, +8 2nd wind = 15 hp.)
Move: Stand up.
Minor: pick up sword.
Save vs. ongoing & immob: 1d20+2-2=8
Save vs. -2 to attacks: 1d20-2=9

Round 6
Kathalia and Atreus pound at the dragon, but their blows are turned aside. Atreus ducks the dragon's angrily lashing tail, while Kathalia shifts back into to elven form and prays briefly, bringing Mikara back from the brink of death.
Hacker's lively invective hounds Tristan back to consciousness, but once more fails to affect the dragon.
Woe steps adroitly around the dragon, deflecting its thrashing claws, and manages to push it to the southwest with a mighty heave.
Mikara fires two arrows that go awry, but manages to steady herself, stop the bleeding and shake off the pain of the acid.
Tristan stands and takes a moment to compose himself, though he continues to bleed.
The dragon surges to its feet, and turns towards Woe, loosing another blast of acid from its mighty jaws. The warrior manages to hide behind his shield, but Kathalia, Atreus, and Mikara are all splashed with searing fluid, and find their legs locked in place.
[sblock=ooc]Kathalia moves to G11 and misses twice. (This would have triggered warding tail, but the dragon's dazed now.) She shapes back to humanoid, and APs for healing word, healing Mikara 8+3. Mikara isn't bloodied, for the moment. The dragon is no longer dazed, but is considered dazed during Hacker, Tristan, and Mikara's turns this round.
Atreus takes 5 ongoing. He double shrouds, and activates his shrouds and misses. So he loses one die's worth of shroud damage. Which one? 1d3=2, so Atreus does 8 damage, and the shrouds are gone. A missed melee attack triggers the dragon's warding tail power, which misses. Woe has already made one combat challenge attack since his last turn, so can't make another. Atreus uses Armor of Sudden Recovery to end the ongoing damage and gain regen 5 instead, but is still immobilized (se).
Hacker uses majestic word on Tristan, heals 8+4 and slides him to J15. He misses twice with Blunder.
Woe passes forward to G10 and (barely) hits with tide of Iron, pushing the dragon 1 square SW and shifting to H11 himself. Is that what you meant? When you said push to J10, at first I thought you meant to push him two squares, but I don't see how he can do that.
Mikara takes 10 ongoing, becoming bloodied again. She misses, but makes her saves against both ongoing damages.
Tristan takes 5 ongoing. He uses 2nd wind and stands, but fails his saves.
The dragon recharges breath. It stands, and breathes, catching everyone except Tristan and Hacker. It misses Woe, but hits Kathalia, Atreus, and Mikara. They each take 5 acid damage and 5 ongoing acid and immobilized (se both).

I guess not.
The feeling of skin and muscle dissolving around her bones has cauterized all of Mikara's nerves. Feeling nothing, her aim is true, and the arrows fly with a little more speed than usual as her fingers bleed from pulling the bowstring almost to the breaking point... twice.
They crack scales as they penetrate deep, burying themselves to the fletching.
I guess I'll never get those two back.
