D&D 3.5e: Retired & Bored

[Pyrex]

OOC: Snaps only takes 30hp, familiars have Improved Evasion.

Vannyn's eyes widen a bit as he sees the Fireball streaking toward the party,
"Damn, I really should have seen that coming. This is really going to hurt."

As Vannyn ducks behind a column to avoid the worst of the blast his mind reels with pain both as he is burned and as the shock of Snaps being burned rolls across the empathic link.

Needing a moment to recover, Vannyn moves behind heavier cover (carrying Snaps with him) and uses his rod to cast a Maximized False Life.

OOC: Move to cover, draw rod while moving, cast Maximized False Life gaining 20 temp hp.
As Snaps is within 5', he also gains the 20 temp hp.

Vannyn then commands the elemental to attack the undead dragon.

"Ouch!" Armand forgets about his plans to sear light the Bone Dragon, as he's neardead from the blast, and starts to pray for healing.

OOC: Cast Heal on self.

"Get into the keep!", Ghannellis roars and then moves to cover his friends.

[OOC: ready an action to charge and attack the Dracolich if it attempts to engage the party]

 

[Arknath]

[ooc: I'm not sure, but don't 14th level rogue's get improved evasion? If so, I shouldn't have taken any damage from that blast. I'll wait for a reply before I post.]

Elrick twists out of the way, feeling the heat of the giant fireball singe his clothing but narrowly missing him.

Rolling up to his feet, he turns and sprints towards the castle, axes in his hands and aims for the now broken gate, hoping the cover will give him time to think of what he can do next.

[ooc: Double move towards the castle gate]

OK. I changed the post to reflect Snap's improved evasion and Elrick's evasion. Sorry for the error. Evasion allows for no damage on a successful reflex save. Improved evasion is a special ability option for rogues. It allows half damage on a failed reflex save.

As long as the creature is out of close range, Dargo will invoke a Flame Strike on the creature (DC 22).

OOC: Still the plan.

Daniel winces as the fire washes over him, but it doesn't hurt so much.. 'It shouldn't hurt at all, either he's grown powerful, or I've grown rusty.. EIther way I best be doing something about it.' He thinks to himself as he searches through the ruins, looking for an underground cavern or something, trying to find where the undead monstrosity came from and search it for... whatever could be the phylactery

 

[Guest 11456]

Elrick makes a run for what is left of the keep heading toward the main doorway.
He arrives and moves inside.

Ghannellis yells "Get into the keep!" and then heads toward the keep. He gets about halfway there.

Thergan speaks, “The phylactery could be anything, I doubt it is around here. His body can be destroyed, he will just reform in 24hrs.” Then he heads toward the keep yelling at the dragon as he goes. “Hey! Bonehead! I hope you brought a new hoard! We enjoyed spending the last one!” He makes it to the entrance and waits with Ghannellis.

Daniel moves toward the hole where the dragon burst out of. He gets to the edge of the hole.

Vannyn moves to the relative protection of the keep remains and casts his spell which effects him and Snaps.

The elemental charges the dragon and attacks. But the attack bounces off of the dragon's tough hide.

Dargo casts his spell on the dragon. The flames wash over the dragon, but don't seem to effect him at all.

Snaps stays with Vannyn.

Armand casts his spell on himself and feels much better. (Back to full HPs.)

Next round:

The dragon attacks the elemental with claws, bite, and tail. It hits with all four attacks. (100 total damage.)

Initiative:
Dead Dragon 15 Done
Elrick 15
Ghannellis 15
Thergan 12
Daniel 11
Vannyn 11
Huge Air Elemental 11
Dargo 8
Snaps 6
Armand 2

Thergan moves deeper into the gatehouse. He turns to Vannyn, “Where would I have to strike to bring down the gatehouse?”

Without waiting for an answer he yells up at the dragon, “You pathetic once-dragon, I will write the ballad myself, how the quaking pile of bones trembled in the sky afraid to face the might of those that destroyed him!”

 

[Pyrex]

"Bring down the gatehouse? As in the gatehouse we're standing inside right now?"
Vannyn looks around for a moment assessing the structure of the gatehouse...

OOC: Kn(Architecture)+10. Can Thergan do it?
