Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kalendraf" data-source="post: 2055845" data-attributes="member: 3433">Party was searching for a green dragon's lair.  They had seen it fly overhead and it's lair was rumored to be in this general area.  They finally reach a small clearing in the woods near an algae-filled skummy pond.  On the opposite side of the pool, they finally see a channel in the rock face leading to a large cave mouth.  Bones litter the approach, so this is *obviously* the way into its lair.  They head toward the cave mouth, walking around the edge of pond.  As they approach the cavemouth, the narrowing entry channel funnels them into a perfect shape for a cone or line spell attack!They keep a close lookout on the cave mouth.  Secretly, the green dragon rises up...from the pond!  Dragons have blindsense so he's been able to keep track of their progress around the edge of the pond.  Green dragons have waterbreathing, so he's perfectly content to stay under water.  (This works for black dragons too).  The skummy water prevents anything from being seen in the pond.  It turns out the big cave mouth, just leads to a small cave, so the dragon winds up having the party boxed in.  The party is in a bad situation, and the dragon knows it.  If they plea for their lives, he might be willing to let them go for, say 1 major magic item per character.  On the other hand, if he's upset, he'll just unload a cone of acid and nail the entire party in a single blast.If things manage to go badly for the dragon, he could try to fly off, but it's more likely that he'll just dive back down in the pond to recover.</blockquote>
