Round 16

Shifty sears the dragon with a well-placed ray. Skull does likewise, but the dragon, finally really angry, reacts with a sudden burst of frosty breath. (dragon gets a free breath attack for becoming bloodied. It hits Kalad and Perky for 6 damage after resists. Kalad is weakened and slowed (save ends))

Unimpressed, Red responds with another laser that cooks another bit of dragon-flesh. (Red is weakened, so only 5 damage. Since I didn't see rolls from you, here are some saves: Kalad saves vs. weakness and slowed, but Red and Perky fail.)

The dragon smolders from shifty's attack. It claws furiously at Perky for daring to block its way. The smoke gets in its eyes, though, and it claws only rubble from the walls. (5 ongoing fire. Breath recharges. Two claws, rolls are natural 1 and 2. Dragon saves vs. ongoing fire.)

Round 17

Shifty pops round the corner and heals people again, much to the dragon's annoyance.

Skull fries the dragon's backside.

Red lightly toasts the dragon's snout.

The pack zombies moan and shuffle around.

Kalad, seeming to wake up suddenly, thwacks the dragon across the nose.

The dragon, enraged, tries to shoulder Kalad aside to move through. To everyone's amazement, Kalad stands firm. (fails breath recharge. Bull rush vs. Kalad misses, not that it would have worked even on a hit, since Kalad is a dwarf. But I forgot that before I rolled.)

Round 18

Skull chars the dragon's tail again. Perky misses with a blast of color, despite help from several of the clowns and Kalad. (Kalad's mark expires at his end of turn. Perky provokes an OA, which barely hits for 16 damage after resists. I think I've got that right; Perky has concealment from his aura, but doesn't have line of effect to the origin square of the Sacred Circle zone. If I've counted everything right, the dragon hits his AC exactly. But it would probably be worth checking that over to make sure I haven't missed a modifier.

The dragon roars in satisfaction at actually damaging someone. Its satisfaction is short-lived, however, as it fails to follow up. (breath recharges. draconic fury vs. Perky, both claws miss.)

Round 19

Shifty heals the circus again.

Skull misses, and moves around for a better shot.

Red gently warms the dragon, melting some icicles off its nose. Red looks a bit stronger afterwards.

Kalad misses.

The dragon lashes out with its hind claws, dropping two of the zombies. It backs awkwardly out of the corridor and expands to its full size again with a sigh of relief. (breath recharge fails. Fury vs. PZ 5 and 12, both hit. Dragon moves to P29 and expands, provokes OAs from Kalad, Perky, PZ7, which have CA, but the next turn's attacks on the dragon don't.)
