Not wanting to simply hide in the fog Fistan heads to the edge to get a glimpse of what they were dealing with.

I plan on living forever. Or die trying.
Ordrar isn't one to take the risks lightly, but seeing the dragon earlier is better than fleeing once everyone is engaged. And the aura of awe of dragons...everyone knows about it.
"Well, here goes nothing!" he thinks as he peeks through the mists.

And of course, this one is so much more impressive and frightening than the wyrmling they fought in the cloud castle it overwhelms Ordrars warrior spirit.
[roll0]

EDIT: I've checked - Ordrar had natural 1 (total save roll 2) against the first one. The big one is actually less scary :D

So besides Harshnag and Tranio, the group is frightened for one minute and will head in the other direction. I'm going to have Harshnag begin combat with it regardless.

Tranio, let me know if there is something (or ten) you'd like to do in the fog while the party recovers.

OOC: Don't we get a save each round? Or just a disadvantage and not outright flight

OOC: We should have the Frightened condition: "A frightened creature has disadvantage on ability checks and attack rolls while the source of its fear is within line of sight. The creature can't willingly move closer to the source of its fear." And get to roll a new save at the end of each of our turns. But of course, it's up to Serious.

Tranio listens to the combat taking place outside of the fog.

It is uncharacteristically silent. That's not, good, he thinks. He hears the steps of his companions, and the giant himself, but the din of battle he was expecting is simply missing. It's time to change tactics.

He breathes in, then out, and then prays for the battle to begin, and death to come.

OOC: Round 2.
Tranio drops concentration on Bless, and casts Calm Emotions. Assuming we're all within a 40' diameter circle, we should be fine. Every humanoid can voluntarily choose to fail the save, and be immune to the Fear effect as long as concentration is maintained. (line of sight not required; Tranio is still in the fog.).

Spells left: 3/2/3/1. Concentrating on Calm Emotions: 10 rounds left.

Fistan

Crippling fear griped Fistan as he glanced out of the fog to see what attacked them but he fond himself suddenly calm. With a clear head he was better able to asses the threat.

OOC: Not too sure of the layout here and our tactical options. I don't want to drop the fog until something better presents itself as an option.

Legend
Aremus was surprised to find himself quivering in fear. He knew that Dragons could overwhelm even the bravest, but somehow he had expected himself to have met a dragon with his usual enthusiastic curiosity. He felt ashamed for a moment, and then suddenly he felt nothing. It was better, and somehow worse at the same time. He tried to listen and to see what was going on with the Dragon and the Giant, but he now held such a mild curiosity about it that he barely cared either way.

Dren felt the dragonfear flow through him, weakening his strength, sapping his will. But then he felt it pushed aside, his emotions calmed. He used the opportunity to center himself, ready himself for the fight with the dragon.

“Thank’ee,” he told Tranio.

Ordrar feels shame "What is it with the wyrms that I don't stand so?" he thinks as he prepares for trouble
 


Layout: The party was in the middle of the hillside road leading back towards Grudd Haug, so there isn't much in terms of immediate cover. Off in either direction of the road would be some light forest to take cover in.

The Battle: Anyone that looks out again would now see this creature locked in battle with Harshnag. The Frost giant is currently using one oversized battle axe to keep dragon's jaws from closing on him, while the other swings at the body. This combat is about 50 feet away and going down the hill. The party and fog cloud is on higher ground currently. The dragon either hasn't noticed any of you yet, or doesn't feel you're worth any attention.

Grudd Haug: In the distance you can see Grudd Haug or rather what remains of it. The building is now a pile of charred rubble. Did the dragon do this?

Fistan

Peering out of the fog cloud Fistan takes stock what is happening. It was hard to tell which way the fight was going, but he was sure the giant could use a hand. Raiding his hands he bagan the incantation that would summon an explosion of fire, careful to aim to the side.

BOOM! the ground shook with noise as the dragon disappeared briefly in a ball of swirling plasma. Harshnag's eyebrows singing with the heat.

As Fistan disapeared back in the fog cloud he called out to his companions, "I may not be able to maintain the fog if the dragon flees."

Aremus moved along the road until he could see out of the fog. The Giant and the Dragon were locked in battle. Surely the Dragon would win if the Giant had no help. Somehow, none of this seemed to bother him. He was used to feeling excited and worried during any battle at all, but now he felt nothing. What had Tranio done to him?

He calmly drew his bow, out of reflex more than desire, and he fired two arrows at the dragon. He wasn't particularly concerned with whether it hit or not, so he slipped back into the fog for cover.

OOC: [roll0] for [roll1] and [roll2] for [roll3]
Edit: Wow. I didn't think he cared THAT little. He's not even trying!

Be happy if that doesn't kill the giant :)
