You know what would make Intimidation possible? 4 uses of Aid Another, for a +8 to our highest character's roll. Then it's essentially beating Will +2...

[sblock=Intimidate]Dragon's Will is 18. Anyone think they can swing a DC 20 Intimidate?[/sblock]

Dragon's Will is 18. Anyone think they can swing a DC 20 Intimidate?

Rhole's got a +7; I guess 40% chance isn't too shabby. Perhaps I should actually train in that skill...[/sblock]

[sblock=Intimidate]
Ironheart also has +7, and he IS trained. But I think that boat may have sailed now that somebody's already acted - by next turn it'll be gone. Probably better to just attack it and hope for a lucky shot.

Ikni hears the sound of the panther's retreating steps with relief, and a twinge of disappointment. She retreats toward the river, on guard from unseen attacks, and attempts to blink her eyes clear again.

[sblock=actions]Move: to T8
Standard: total defense

end of turn: save vs. blindness fails again.

Ironheart halts in his tracks, snarling. It carefully transfers its axe to its withered left limb, stroking the blade obsessively. Then it pulls a long rod from the tangle of branches near its crown, draws back, and hurls it towards the dragon. The javelin strikes the rock a good 5 feet away from the target, ricochets, and bounces end over end across the outcropping.

[sblock=Actions]
Move: sheathe axe
Minor: draw javelin
Standard: throw javelin at dragon: Javelin at Dragon (1d20+8=9, 1d6+5=8)

Ok, so we need Haruka and Derien. I believe Derien's out of range for anything, although Haruka's able to get close enough for an eldritch blast[/sblock]

 

[TwoHeadsBarking]

[sblock=ranges]Eldritch Blast nothing. I still have Fiery Bolt chambered and ready.[/sblock]

Haruka runs along the riverbank in an attempt to keep pace with the dragon. She slides down and nearly topples in, but manages to catch herself before going over. She cups her hands and breathes into them, creating another glowing ember. She smiles up at the dragon and calls out in a honeyed voice, "Here's something to remember us by."

And then Haruka flings the ember at the dragon. The smoldering projectile flies across the river and embeds itself in the dragon's neck, burrowing deeper for a moment before exploding outward in a wave of red and black flames.

[sblock=Actions]Move: Move to O22, retaining concealment. The whole slipping bit was just flavor (I hope)
Standard: Fiery Bolt the Dragon. Hits Reflex 23 for 20 fire damage and 3 untyped damage.. On a hit, any adjacent creatures take 11 fire damage, and I heal 5 hp. As a result, I am no longer bloodied.

I'm not even going to say what happens on a miss, because I didn't. Not this time.[/sblock]

So I don't keep you all in suspense, yes that does finish off the dragon. Larger update tomorrow[/sblock]

And then Haruka flings the ember at the dragon. The smoldering projectile flies across the river and embeds itself in the dragon's neck, burrowing deeper for a moment before exploding outward in a wave of red and black flames. The creature was focused on Ironheart and didn't see the projectile. The explosion rocks the area, echoing off the rock walls. A fine red mist appears in the air as the head of the beast looks to have been completely destroyed. The stump of its neck and the rest of its body tumble down the cliff, into the river, staining the water red. All is quiet now.
