Strahd's "RttToEE" CLOSED

"Well, then...let's do this." Korbryn lowers the visor on his helmet and hefts his greatsword. "I will take point." With that, the dwarf nods to his companions and begins moving toward the old drawbridge, watching for any sign of danger.

The Kid keeps near the dwarf but still behind, tensely waiting for the coming confrontation. Softly, he whispers to his companions, "Should we try to flush it out, or flank it? You know, fight it on our terms?"
 

Korbryn

"It knows we are here, lad. And since there seems to be only one way into them ruins, we don't seem to have many choices in the matter. When the dragon appears, spread out and try to stay away from its teeth and claws." With a grim nod, the dwarf continues forward, ready to face whatever foe lurks ahead.
 

"I will summon a celestial attack beast to flush it out. Is it hidden on the grounds or up in the walls?." Summon Monster I celestial badger with scent to go find our hidden dragon when ready if on the ground. Or if need an aerial scout a celestial owl.

"Kid, would it help you to remain invisible a little longer so you can sneak behind it, perhaps? Give me the word and I'll do it in a snap."

The elf looks towards the moathouse with a steady eye, then turns to his raven. "Be careful and out of reach. You're probably a tasty treat for our dragon friend." His grip on his two wands tightens.

As the group advances forward, Ithiken says a word in draconic and waves one of the wands in front of him. A shimmer occurs around him immediately as a full cover of force comes into existance around his entire body. Sliding the wand back into the holster on his forearm, he pulls some small items from the pouch on his belt, says a few more words in draconic, makes a motion with his hand, and then a circular small shield of force springs up in front of him.

"Okay... let's go."
 

The Kid shrugs at the offer. Realizing that may not be visible, he states, "Mobility is key for me, 'guv. Invisibility would help only for the first attack, but I'm not some stab-you-in-the-back type. But thanks."

As he approaches the manor, the Kid keeps eyes out for possible cover that he could utilize when the attack came. At the same time, he takes out a small metal vial from his pouch, downs it, and is briefly surrounded by a blue shimmer that soon passes. He then crouches in anticipation, waiting for the inevitable.

Round 1 - Moathouse Courtyard

The path leads to a rotten, slightly bowed drawbridge that crosses the water. Four new planks lie atop the rotted wood, on the other side of the draw bridge are two gates leading into the moathouse. One stand open, and the other lie on the ground.
On the left you see a crumbled tower with loosely hanged wooden door, the wide courtyard is paved in cobblestones, although over the years grass and weeds have grown throughout the area. Rubble from the collapsed wall and destroyed upper story still litter the open space.
A brown smear spreads across the middle of the courtyard, up the stairs and into the open doorway at their top. A carved dagger lies near where the smear begins.
The badger ventures forward as he smells up the ground, a moment pass and you hear hollow grown from the inside of the keep.
Well, well, what do I smell here?
A horse sized, sky blue wyrm burst out from the building, wings flapping, filling the air with dust.

With a burst of action, the Kid hugs the wall, moving to a position to throw one of his deadly blades. He keeps his eyes peeled, waiting for an opening to toss the blade.

OOC: Initiative 19 (before Korbryn). Move to J21; Ready action to throw a dagger at the dragon once it moves (hopefully within 30 ft.)
 

HP 15/15 : AC 22 : Spells Remaining 6/6/3

Ithiken sees the dwarf stride forward and The Kid move along the wall to the right. Having learned all about dragonkind from his master and especially about the problems of a dragon's breath, he knows not to keep themselves all bunched up and an easy group target. Ithiken hustles off to the left, to spread himself out from the others. (Initiative 15 / move action to T18)

Yerrn remains stoic on his shoulder and the force shield reorientates itself between the elf and the dragon. Ithiken raises his voice and begins speaking in the dragon's own language, while his fingers outline an intricate design in the air. Suddenly, two small balls of force shoot out from his hands and stream on a collision course towards the dragon's head. (Cast Magic Missile / 2d4+2 dam)
