Dragon

Tyrla turns to flee, the dragon biting at the warlock one more time for 12 points of damage (before DR, 10 after). Tyrla has 14 hit points remaining. The warlock then turns to face her aggressor and unleashes another bolt, easily hitting and dealing 21 points of damage.

Avril takes the moment to focus and draws her hands together to finish a spell, and a pillar of fire strikes down from the sky like a bolt of lightning, scorching the dragon for 29 points of damage. Avril soon notices, however, that the damage was partially negated by the beast and it did not take the full effect. The divine damage still hurts it, however. Both Avril and Mandla fall back a bit from the dragon, but it puts them closer to the goblins.

Siobhan steps back, using her healing touch ability and her 4th level cure spell together to recover 12 hit points, and triggers her own fast healing ability to recover 2 more. She now sits at 17 hit points.

Warren strikes two more times, this time finishing off one of the remaining dragonspawn with sufficient time to spare. The other takes a hit, but he doesn't quite go down from it.

Larian fires another burst of flame into the spawn, finishing off the remaining blackspawn. His second ray targets the dragon and also hits, dealing 16 damage, Larian's keen eyes and arcane knowledge tip him off that the creature took a little less than half damage due to some form of fire resistance.

Pender moves into position to attack the one remaining major threat, the dragon. It's just within his reach, and he scores a solid hit for 22 points of damage.

The two hobgoblins fire at Avril, their arrows failing to hit in any meaningful way.

The dragon performs a wingover manuever and dives right back after the evasive warlock but provoking a second attack from the fighter Pender. The fighter scores a brutal hit dealing another 44 points of damage to the monster. The beast cries out in pain, but it makes it to its target and bites again at Tyrla, nearly scoring another possibly fatal blow but missing. The dragon keeps flying after its flyby attack and passes over the unarmed Siobhan. The beast cannot gain any height however after those difficult manuevers (so it's still within melee range of anyone that can get adjacent).

Emboldened by the previous hits against the creature, Pender moves across the battlefield with the extraordinary speed that his ally bestowed upon him. The human warrior slashes the beast across its flank as it leaves itself open at ground level.

Warren the halfling, HP 47/47, AC 25, Haste, Child of Shadows

"Stinkbreath doesn't look very burnt.....you sure yer mojo worked right?" Warren says skeptically, eying the dragon as it flies overhead.

Then the halfling dashes over towards Avril, past her, and closer to the hobgoblins. Shadows swirl around him in a haze once more, partially obscuring him from sight. "My ranged attacks won't do much to scaley!" he warns, as he charges the hobgoblin just behind and north of Avril. "And I could use just a bit of Mandla's help here," he adds.

[sblock=ooc]Thanks to Haste, Warren should be able to charge the hobgoblin just fine. One short sword attack at +16 to hit, for 1d4+6 damage. Stance change back to Child of Shadows this round, for concealment. -2 AC from the charge though, factored in above.

Hoping to get Mandla's help next round so he can use Island of Blades + Sneak Attack again, to eviscerate the hobgoblin quickly.[/sblock]

 

[Redclaw]

Seeing the lack of effectiveness of the spells he and Avril cast, Larian concludes the dragon is under some protection. His next action is clearly mandated by that fact, so he steps forward, releases one of the empowered knots in the rope around his waist, and releases a blast of energy that tears into the dragon's arcane shields.

[sblock=ooc] Move to AL16, cast targeted dispell magic on the dragon, using dispelling chord. CL check at +9 vs. each spell or effect on the dragon. [/sblock]

Tyrla could not take much more punishment, and she knew it. She took a quick moment to rummage through her Haversack in search of some kind of healing.

OOC: Find and drink her potion of Cure Moderate Wounds

Dragon

Tyrla grabs up her potion and drinks it, restoring 17 hit points immediately.

Avril decides to share her healing spell from her pearl of power with Mandla, restoring 13 hit points to herself and the dog. She then sends mandla to attack the hobgoblin on the south side of the hut. Mandla also loses his enrage effect and loses some hit points from that.

Mandla charges and scores a hit against the hobgoblin for maximum damage. The hobgoblin is still standing.

Siobhan moves to the center of the group and uses her mass lesser restoration spell, giving Pender, Siobhan, Tyrla, and Warren one hit point (and you gain 1 additional hit point every round up to 15). Siobhan also gains 2 hit points from her regeneration.

Warren charges across the field at the open hobgoblin, his blade scoring a critical hit against the foe and dealing 19 points of damage.

Larian moves across the field and uses an empowered dispel against the monster. He knows he was successful in breaking some of the creatures wards, but it's difficult to discern which.

Pender charges forward, hitting one more time for another 21 damage.

The hobgoblins, now confronted by powerful opponents at close range, reach for their swords and try to fight back. Warren deftly avoids the attack, and Mandla manages to get in under the swing.

The dragon on the other hand performs another wingover and dives back for Tyrla again, focusing on the warlock. Pender takes his second chance at the creature, but this time his blade does not land it it continues past.

The beast bites Tyrla, dealing a lethal 16 points of damage.

Warren the halfling, HP 47/47, AC 27, Haste, Child of Shadows

Warren stabs at the hobgoblin's thigh and abdomen, then steps a bit closer to Mandla. He glances back, and curses. "Tyrla, take cover already!"

[sblock=ooc]Two hasted attacks at +14 to hit for 1d4+6 damage each. Then a 5-foot step south towards Mandla.

If the hobgoblin drops from his first stab (I dunno how tough it is), Warren takes a move action around Mandla instead, passing through her space to stand on the other side of her, by the other hobgoblin. If he does that, he'll change stances back to Island of Blades after his movement and after the hobgob's AoO from the movement.[/sblock]

 

[Redclaw]

Casting defensively, Larian conjures four arrows of arcane force that lash out and strike the dragon. The elf then takes a step away from the dangerous foe, but fades back into visibility as he does so.
[sblock=ooc] Cast Magic Missile defensively, Concentration +12 vs. DC 16. 4d4+4 force damage. 5' step to AK15. [/sblock]

OOC: I presume the two sources of Fast Healing (Fiendish Resilience and Vigor) don't stack.

IC: "Siobhan, I need healing, if you have any left," Tyrla hissed, trying to keep moving despite her pain. Then she gathered her energies for a desperate attempt at escape...

OOC: Delay until after Siobhan, in hopes of some direct healing (another charge from the staff, or a reasonable cure spell, etc.). If she gets it- Move action straight up (30 feet of move= 15 feet altitude), risking the AoO; then another Eldritch Spear at the dragon (+11 ranged touch; 5d6+1 damage point blank). If no reasonable healing is available, then full round action to Withdraw, mostly up (40 feet of move for 20 feet of height, then 20 feet straight south).

 

[renau1g]

Angry that the dragon has ignored him, Pender continues his mad charging across the battlefield with his greatsword held aloft. "C'mon you overgrown lizard!" the warrior shouts as he again cuts down mightily on the large creature.

[sblock=OOC]
Full Round Action: Charge Dragon (-2 to hit, +4 dmg): Attack; Damage; OA; OA Damage (1d20+16=29, 2d6+13=23, 1d20+18=35, 2d6+9=15)
*Includes +1 from Haste & +2 from charge* I rolled an AoO (if applicable), but added an extra +2 from the charge erroneously.
To sum it up, charge hits AC 29 for 23 damage, AoO hits AC 33 for 15 damage
