Suddenly, the air around the small dragon is filled with arrows shot by the enemy boarders. Vor corkscrews wildly through the air to avoid the first two arrows. A third, however strikes the wyrm, only to shatter harmlessly against Vor's magically enhanced silver-white hide. Still, the force of the blow causes the little dragon to spin end over end before he can regain control; just in time to see a tiefling charging widely across the deck at him. The small wyrm yelps in surprise as the demon-spawn swats him forcefully with a sword as long as Vor himself. Luckily Vor's magical protections once more manage to shield him from harm as the blade likewise fails to penetrate the dragon's hide.In response, the small silver-white wyrm beats his wings furiously as he attempts to reverse direction, desperately trying to stay out of the tiefling's reach. Looking past the swordsman Vor sees that the enemy boarders have surrounded Drota and are threatening to overwhelm the orcish woman. Rage burning in his flashing green eyes, Vor cries out: "GET AWAY FROM MY MOTHER YOU BEASTS!!!" Opening his fanged maw once more Vor exhales a long stream of fire to engulf the tiefling swordsman, two of the remaining mutineers and three enemy boarders.• 5 ft.

Looking over the attacks rolls you linked to, I don't believe Vor would have been hit by either the boarder's arrow or the tiefling's longsword. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />• If you look at the map I included in post 26 I think you'll see that I positioned Vor much closer to the side of the Sea Breeze. Since the tiefling didn't have to charge as far to reach Vor I've moved him backwards a bit on the map I'm including with this post. It's only important for how Vor positions his next breath weapon. Speaking of positioning, you mentioned in your post that B4 and B5 are up in the air rather than on deck. I don't know if B5 is high enough to escape Vor's 5-ft. wide line of fire or not. Vor will be doing his best to catch the boarder in the area of effect naturally. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />• To reach Vor T2 had to charge across the deck, right past Terrathoin. I think it'd be fair to award the dwarf an attack of opportunity against the tiefling.• I see that you factored in a height advantage for B4 and B5 in their attacks against Drota. In a plane where down and up are completely subjective, I can't see that anyone could claim a height advantage in combat. I mean, if someone wants to be on higher ground, all they'd have to do is decide that the person they're trying to hit is 'below' them. A clever person could even switch their subjective 'down' direction to gain a height advantage on enemies who flank him. I'm just saying, it seems a bit weird to me. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" />As far as Knowledge check, Vor will take 10 on his Knowledge (the planes) checks (DC 18) to identify the winged creature's and the other boarder's races and what energy types they're not immune or resistant to if possible.[/sblock]</blockquote>
