Larian 15
Hobgoblin Warriors 13
Avril 11
Tyrla 9
Dragon 9
Siobhan 4
Pender: Pender strikes the hobgob for 9 and Northwind hits for 4. Together that's sufficient to drop him. Pender's arrow bounces off the dragon's hide harmlessly.
Warren: Warren moves up to the top of the tower, trapping the archer between himself and a long fall.
Larian: Larian takes his chances with a fall, diving off the tower as a withdraw and triggering his feather fall spell. Larian glides below the cliffs and begins falling. At the end of his turn, he's 40 feet above the water.
Hobgoblin: The one remaining archer angrilly drops his bow, draws his blade, and strikes at Warren. He hits, dealing 7 points of damage.
Avril: Avril ascends the tower partially and strikes at the dragon. Her flame bolt deals 10 damage,
Tyrla: Tyrla moves up the tower for a similar attack. She fires and deals 16 damage counting point-blank shot.
Dragon: The dragon breaths his acidic breath weapon all over both Tyrla and Avril. Tyrla made her save. Damage is 32 to Avril and 16 to Tyrla again (before being reduced by acid protection). In addition, next round the acid deals half again as much damage (16 for Avril, 8 for Tyrla) once again reduced by acid protection if applicable.
The beast then dives off the tower. He descends to 40 feet above the water at the location on the map.

Still enjoying the slow drifting descent afforded him by his feather fall spell, Larian gestures at the dragon and calls on his arcane knowledge once again. Three glowing spheres of blue light fly from his outstretched hand to strike the green beast. Larian then prepares to swim for his life.

Tyrla gave a wordless cry of mixed pain and rage as the acid washed over her- thankfully the protective magic shielded her from the worst of it, but the pain was still terrible. Still hurting, she strode to the edge of the tower and unleashed another arcane bolt.
OOC Move to the front of the tower, invoke an eldritch spear at the dragon; +9 ranged touch, 3d6 damage; 250 foot range

Warren the halfling, AC 24, HP 13/39, Assassin's Stance
Warren snarls in pain, as one foe after another after another manages to cut him up despite his agility..... He hopes the casters are faring better. After a moment's hesitation, he springs onto the offensive, stabbing away at the hobgoblin's belly and thighs. But he slips a bit on his own blood, and fouls up the strikes....
[sblock=Action]Two attacks with Haste, Bull's Strength, and Bless active.....
Unfortunately, even rolling this set myself in hopes of better results, I got total cr*p for luck.
Frickin' 'ell, Warren's as helpless and inept at both offense and defense in this fight as he could be, despite new maneuvers and the occasional decent attack roll just from the sheer number of them being attempted.
Attacks were 15 and 14, with the 14 being a natural 1 roll. Damage would've been 11 and 9, respectively, but I doubt the hobgoblin's so clumsy and poorly armored as to get hit by a 15.[/sblock]

Another of Siobhan's enhancements ran out. A feeling of urgency came over her as she realized that soon most of their potent spells would fail purely due to time. She sook a better position and recited another prayer to Kord, instilling a touch of the divine in all around her.
"Thank you for your help, warrior," she says to Pender as she passes him.
[sblock=OoC]Divine Favor ran out, casting Prayer. I think it is impossible for her to catch all characters within a 40ft-radius burst, so positioning so that Warren, Pender and the remaining hobgoblin are inside the area.

Avril - Human Druid - AC 21 - hp 15/42 - Spot +12 - Listen +12
She caught sight of the dragon, hurling her ball of flame at it. No matter how much she and Tyrla, and even Larian managed to hit it, the creature just didn't seem to die. It was a towering and majestic creature, with a strength unmatched in Avril's experience by anything she'd ever seen.
Trying to hurl herself aside, and use the winding stairs for cover, she faced the dragon's breath weapon for the second time in a day. Once again she failed to avoid it, despite the natural advantal of cover that the stairs provided. Tyrla, thankfully seemed unhurt. Unable to see Larian, but seeing the dragon leap off the tower, she dragged her burnt and acid covered body up the stairs to get to the top of the tower.
Tyrla was ahead of her, blasting away at the dragon as it apparantly flew back down into the ravine. Of Larian there was no sight. "Larian?" she asked, looking around, but only when she looked down at the dragon, did she spot him swimming in the water below. "We must get him help, and quickly," she cried. Conscious of the pain in her body, she used her last remaining healing to cure some of the pain.
[SBLOCK=OOC]

Pender, Male Human Fighter 6
"T'was my pleasure, lady," Pender replies to Siobhan as she passes. "It is nearly always a pleasure to exact vengeance on those who have killed your friends, stolen from you, and held you captive."
Pender begins to worry that the dragon may be too tough a foe, that running and living to fight another day may be the best option. Then, in the middle of the thought, he sees one of the strangers slowly falling toward the river below, followed by the dragon. 'Running is no longer an option,' he muses, steeling himself to finish the difficult fight. He sends two more arrows soaring after the dragon into the gorge.

Pender: Both arrows bounce of the dragon's thick hide.
Warren: Warren duels with the hobgoblin, but fails to land a meaningful hit.
Larian: Larian releases 3 magic bolts dealing 7 damage. Larian manages to successfully swim to the shore on the south side of the chasm.
Hobgoblin: Seeing the lieutenant down and the wyrm fleeing, he is hard pressed to keep the fight up. He takes a double move, provoking an attack from Warren as he goes down the tower (withdraw, but has to pass through multiple threatened squares). Warren hits, dealing 11 damage and dropping the last hobgoblin.
Avril: (The gorge is 150 feet deep, I believe the dragon is out of range of your produce flame.) Avril helps heal Tyrla for 11 hit points.
Tyrla: Tyrla moves to the top of the tower to finish off the beast, and by sheer luck the dragon doesn't get burned (nat 1).
Dragon: Flies as fast as he can, submerging at the end of his movement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are effectively out of combat, as I don't think anyone has a way to attack the dragon left, and he has no intention of coming back. There remains one unconcious hobgoblin at the north of camp from the fist-fight. It's also probably somewhat important to get Larian up.
XP: 1800 each.
Just to get it out of the way: Going over the hobgoblins and their camp, there are 9 cure moderate wounds potions, 25 platinum, 125 gold, 190 silver.

Avril - Human Druid - AC 21 - hp 13+2d8/42 - Spot +12 - Listen +12
Hurt and burning with the pain of the acid, Avril watched the dragon from the top of the tower until she was certain that it wasn't planning on returning. Only then did she use two minor calls to the spirits of nature to heal some of her hurt, but Tyrla had received the last of her healing. "We're alive..." she said, almost surprised, and out of breath. "The dragon is gone..." She pondered her position for a moment, before looking down at Larian again. "We must get him back up here, though at the moment I do not know how, short of climbing."
"Come, Tyrla, let us get down to the others." She slowly made her way down the stairs, storing her belongings except her shield which was still strapped to her arm. She then retrieved her two potions from her belt pouch, drinking them both before she reached the bottom of the tower. Feeling slightly better, she approached Siobhan, the newcomer, and Warren. "I'm sorry, Warren," she said quickly," for not being able to get to you sooner."
"And thank you," she turned to the newcomer, Pender, "You help has been valuable." Turning to Warren again, she asked, "Do you think you can carry Larian back up from the bottom of the gorge? I'm not sure how else we can get him up here. I can transform into an eagle, but I'm not sure that will help much. As a baboon I can climb the gorge, and carry a little but not an entire person. Do we have 3 ropes we can tie together and get down to Larian?"
