CE vs. N (FFA): Very Young Howling Dragon vs. Thunder Worm

[Infiniti2000]

Glassy casts blur, becoming completely translucent, and flies to 40N70E20Z.

 

[PJSlavner]

Round 252: Santa misses completely with bullet #8, and steps to 40N10E.

 

[Infiniti2000]

Glassy flaps to 40N30E15Z and casts heat metal on Jolly ole St. Nick (he has iron boots, right?).

 

[PJSlavner]

(Iron boots and a scythe, but the scythe has a wooden handle)

Who are you calling jolly?

Santa's boots do not warm up at all (rolled natural 20 Will save).

Round 253: Bullet #9 misses completely.

 

[Infiniti2000]

Glassy grimaces and putters to 40N10E5Z (dropping at the last 5ft so as to avoid the AoO obviously). "Guess what, Santa?" Glassy breathes a cone of molten glass at the Bringer of Toys. "I've been a Bad Boy this year."

 

[PJSlavner]

Not bad enough, because Santa manages to keep the glass from sticking to him (rolled 23 Ref save), but still takes 2 points of fire damage. Santa has 16 HP left. Glassy can breathe again in round 256.

Round 254: Santa drops his sling, pulls out his scythe "Here's yer present!", and swings at the air (rolled 12).

 

[Infiniti2000]

Glassy will giggle gleefully and withdraw up 20ft and to the east by 10ft.

"Bad boys, bad boys. Watchya gonna do when they come for you?"

 

[PJSlavner]

Round 255: Put away scythe and pick up sling.

 

[Infiniti2000]

Glassy goes on total defense (flapping around in a circle -- ending up at 40N20E30Z each time) until he can breathe again and then moves to 40N10E10Z and breathes. He will withdraw subsequent rounds that he cannot breathe, or breathe&move. Time compress? I tend to think Santa will win 'cause he can't miss forever. I just hope to stick some of those glass shards under his skin for 18 seconds.

Enough of these mephits.

Next in round 265 for Neutral is a water mephit (Monster Manual). Come one, come all!
