[QUOTE="James McMurray, post: 272479, member: 743"] Meanwhile, the skies above tremble from dragon rage. Glorianna, a proud golden dragon is best from all sides by a trio of chromatics bent on bringing her down. Flame Tongue the Red, Bile the Black, and Dancing Death the Blue circle her, looking for an opening. Flame Tongue casts haste, then her form wavers and shifts under the effects of a blur spell, while Bile and Dancing Death meet 50 yards away. Bile summons forth mirror images of himself, while Dancing Death erects a shield. Intent on teaching these young upstarts a lesson in respecting their betters, Glorianna does not yet leave. Instead she too hastes herself, and erects a shield of force. Flame Tongue moves towards the two other chromatics and hastes Dancing Death as well. Dancer shoots forward towards Glorianna and unleashes a crackling column of electrical breath, but it falls short of the mark. Bile summons magics to raise his strength, while Glorianna hovers and cast mage armor and protection from evil, greatly increasing her odds of survival in melee combat. Flame Tongue answers with a protection from good, and his attempt to blind Glorianna fails. Dancing death climbs and flies under Glorianna’s soft underbelly where he unleashes another blast of his breath. This one strikes home and static plays across the great gold’s scales. Bile prepares himself for a devastating attack by casting a True Strike spell, but realizes too late that Glorianna is too far to make it effective, so he opts to instead vomit forth the acid breath that gave him his name. Glorianna replies with a breath attack of her own, and the cone of gas engulfs Dancing Death. The mighty blue feels his strength ebb quickly as the gas takes effect. Flame Tongue again tries to blind Glorianna and fails, while Dancing Death circles for yet another blast of his shocking breath. Glorianna responds with a cone of fire and then flies away, healing herself. Flame Tongue rockets by and snaps with his mighty jaws, but they rebound off of the gold’s protective magics, and Glorianna dimension doors away and casts endurance before turning back to face her foes again. Dancing Death casts Ghoul Touch, hoping its stench will slow her down, but it fails to harm her. Bile, realizing the gold owns the skies currently, casts expeditious retreat and hurtles after her. He is now confident that she cannot escape him. Glorianna flies up out of the reach of the chromatics and casts bull’s strength. Dancing Death breathes upon her again, but between the healing and the endurance the damage is slight. Bile continues to chase and enlarges himself in preparation for an all out assault. Flame Tongue flies up and his vampiric touch misses, while Dancing Death also misses, his weakened body unable to penetrate the gold drake’s scales. Glorianna hovers over Flame Tongue and her strikes rebound off of him. She then casts blink, increasing her odds of survival even farther. Bile tries to grab Glorianna to send them both hurtling to the ground, but he shakes loose. Flame Tongue, seeing that dragging her to earth may be the only way, also takes a swipe at her.
