(nat 20)Minathiel - 25Lochlan & Zephyr - 24(a)Dark Dragon & Warrior - 24(b)Good Army - 22Mary - 21Evil Army - 16Athear & Rhodia - 14White Dragons - 11Tharivol & Xialanet - 5(For simplicity's sake, rider and mount use the Player's init when together)[/sblock]The Silver Dragons and their Riders form up and dive at a group of White Dragons, two to each of the White's, shredding 3 of them, as Spells and Arrows fly from the riders on their backs, felling another one.Minathiel appears bathed in sunlight for all to see, and sounds his horn loudly.  There is a brief pause as all glance up, seeing this celestial being resplendant in the sunlight. While Lochlan casts his spell and readies his staff, Zephyr charges full out, still bolstered with speed, at the Dragon, closing the distance rapidly, and the Dragon, seeing a challenge, responds in kind. (*You pass by each other at full speed, AoO's for the riders.*).  Lochlan and the Dark Warrior pass right by each other, Greatsword and Full Plate facing off against Quarterstaff and Exalted Dedication.  Lochlan's quarterstaff connects fully with the Warrior's chestplate with a resounding clang that seems to phase him(136 damage).  The Warrior's return blow shows that he's not through yet, as he nearly knocks Lochlan off his griffon (74 damage).The defending knights Cheer, They now see an Archon and a larger Silver Dragon appear, and a celestial griffon charging the Black Dragon.  Their cheer quickly turns to song as a pair of fireballs stream from the tower, blasting into the Dark army.For the king for the land for the mountainsfor the green valleys where dragons flyfor the glory the power to meet the black lordI will search for the emerald swordMary, about to sing her own, pauses to listen.. The song stirs something deep within her, and she begins singing along in a Beautiful, Clear voice. (166 Subdual damage from Words of Creation).  Athear and Xialanet also feel the song pull at something primal in their past.The Dark army continues it's assault on Islo and it's defenders, some heading for the hole the Dragon struck in the walls, and the White's turn on the Silver's, a fearsome tangle of wings and Fangs ensuing, in which 2 Silvers plummet, one crashing into the city, and a third veers away, trying to land with a broken wing.7 of the Whites head towards the two new Silver's on the battlefield, 5 at Athear, 2 at Xialanet.  Athear and Rhodia dive at the army, a dose of Gas paralysing many of them while Rhodia blasts at the White Dragons closing chaining 3 of them together with Eldritch power(60 damage, chains were 26).  Though none of them fall, they are all blasted backwards by the force, their momentum halted.  The last two finally reach them, trying to clamp their jaws onto Athear's neck, though he bats them aside(misses).  In addition, many of the Dark soldiers begin cowering with fear as the Huge Silver flashes so closely overhead.  (Athear is Now 1000 feet from gate)The other two charge Xialanet, both getting in lucky bites. (18 and 12 damage)Xialanet and Tharivol, suddenly surrounded, find they have more pressing matters to deal with.  Hovering before them, they let loose, attempting to clear the way as quickly as possible. Xialanet lets loose with a Bite/claw/claw/tail slap that batters one of their opponents, sending it spiraling down, while Tharivol gives the second a few deep cuts, before cleaving off it's head (Crit).[ooc: Xialanet Power Attacked b/c there's not really any way to miss, (especially with the +15 attack from the song)  If you'd prefer to still head for the gate (Provoking AoO's from the three dragons), post such and I'll change it][sblock=Lyrevan Theme Song]I crossed the valleys the dust of midlandsto search for the third key to open the gatesNow I'm near the altar the secret insideAs legend told my beloved sun light the dragons eyesOn the way to the glory I'll honour my swordto serve right ideals and justice for allFinally happened the sun lit their eyesthe spell was creating strange games of lightThanks to hidden mirrors I found my lost wayover the stones I reached the place it was a secret caveIn a long bloody battle that prophecies toldthe light will prevail hence wisdom is goldFor the king for the land for the mountainsfor the green valleys where dragons flyfor the glory the power to meet the black lordI will search for the emerald swordOnly a warrior with a clear heartcould have the honour to be kissed by the sunYes, I'm that warrior I followed my wayled by the force of cosmic soul I can reach the swordOn the way to the glory I'll honour my swordto serve right ideas and justice for allFor the king for the land for the mountainsfor the green valleys where dragons flyfor the glory the power to meet the black lordI will search for the emerald swordFor the king for the land for the mountainsfor the green valleys where dragons flyfor the glory the power to meet the black lordI will search for the emerald sword[/sblock]OOC: The song is Emerald Sword by an Italian Symphonic Power Metal band, 'Rhapsody of Fire'.  The first time my friends and I heard it, it just fit the story of the country so well, and along with music by the band Nightwish helped inspire certain elements of this campaign.Also, I had originally planned on you guys rolling your own attacks+damage, etc, but If you would prefer, I can do it.Current #'s : Lyrevan Knights - ~300Dark Army - ~2000White Dragons(Large, probably young Adult) - 27Silver Dragons(Medium-Large, probably Young/Juvenile) - 14Distances(Relative to gates to keep things simple.) : The Dragon is now 700' from the gates, Zephyr is 600' from city(slowed and wheeled around when dragon passed), Athear is 1000' from gate, Xialanet is 1200, Minathiel is a few hundred feet in the air, 200' from gates.All good guys can hear the inspirational tune of Mary, which is being sung with unearthly clarity that seems to cary over the sounds of battle (Go special power!), and gain +12 con/str, and +9 hit/damage, and everyone who saw Minathiel gets Immunity to Fear (The +2 to hit is overruled by mary's +9, which is also Morale).. Please include updated numbers for attacks/damage in your posts.</blockquote>
