[QUOTE="Storminator, post: 514038, member: 305"] [b]Re: forge of fury[/b] I just finished the dragon encounter this weekend, and I was shocked at how quickly my PC took the dragon down. I was expecting to seriously hurt them, but they rolled like nobodies business. SPOILERS I suppose... . . . . . . . . Most of the party crossed the 2nd bridge, with the NPC dwarf cleric falling into the water. That alone was probably going to kill him, with his -17 swim check. Then the dragon lined up three PCs with acid breath, all failed the save, two PCs below 3 hp. Only the monk acts in the surprise round--partial charge, max damage. Dragon full round attacks the monk, beating on him pretty good. Barbarian runs up, rages, and hits for max damage. Wizard Magic Missiles. Dragon retreats into the water to kill the NPC dwarf. Party gathers on the ledge, readying actions to shoot if the dragon returns. The monk goes to jump from stepping stone to stepping stone, and slips and falls in the water. Dragon swims up and attacks. PCs with xbows all make spot checks (against the dragon's hide, with penalties for distance, darkness, and partial cover from water), and everyone hits, the dwarven barbarian with a crit and, again, max damage. Dead dragon. I was quite surprised as the damage totals piled up. I was going to have the dragon pull the monk under and swim away, as she was getting a bit low on hp. Only to have them dish around forty points with readied actions during the attack/grapple. PS [/QUOTE]
