As our heroes press the attack, Kamotz rides in on his "stallion", he strikes twice as he misses, he feels the dragon counter attacking, but both times he feels the tail miss by inches.

As the magical impact hits it following the crossbow bolt- the heroes in the darkness feel an unearthly silence leading up to a spout of black acid in a black mist in a black darkness. The acid washes over them. Vimak was ready and dodged it, but Kamotz and Alnar both take the full impact.

The dragon then flies out of the darkness leaving the acid burning fighters to hunt the squishier characters out of the darkness. Lenard, and Silveris see the dark shape fly above them, landing with a crunch it breathes a dark swathe over them too engulfing them with acid.

Lenard does become aware that the dragon sitting less than a few feet away from him is staring at him intently.

[sblock=actions]

Tail strike immediate reaction x2 vs. Kamotz miss.
Breath vs. Alnar, Vimak & Kamotz hits, Alnar and Kamotz for 14 acid damage and ongoing 5 and -4 to AC save ends all. (immediate interrupt when bloodied)

It's turn: Flies to B4, taking opportunity attacks from Silv and Len as it flies over them. But not the blind people.

standard use the recharged breath attack again on Len and Silv,
11 damage 17 & 20 vs. Reflex. 5 ongoing acid damage and -4 to ac.

[/sblock]

OOC: I couldn't find where the recharge rules were, so am not sure if they happen at the beginning or the end of a monsters turn, I have gone with beginning which is how it did it twice after recharging from being bloodied. If someone can tell me which book it's in and where it would be appreciated.

[sblock=skill challenge] I will allow Lenard to make a skill challenge 3 successes required against the dragon to persuade it to leave peacefully. This will not stop the fight, but neither the dragon or Lenard should attack each other. [/sblock]

[CaBaNa]

Argh, blasted beast! Where did it go?!

 

[Luinnar]

NOBODY IS GOING TO DIE AGAINST A STUPID DRAGON! As Alnar shouts these words, there is a burst of arcane energy which forms a shield around everyone protecting them from attacks, and healing Alnar's wounds. Alnar then fires of bolt of energy at the dragon, who absorbs it without taking damage.

OOC: [MENTION=90808]Cute-Hydra[/MENTION]: About rechargeable powers, the recharge roll happens at the start of the monster's turn. If the roll is one of the die results shown in the power, the power is recharged and the monster can use it again that turn. Details are in the monster manual, page 7. Lenard isn't terribly good at social skills, but I'll give the skill challenge a try. Can other PCs help with it?

Lenard wheezes deeply as he clears the acidic vapor from his lungs. When he regains his senses, he looks up to find the dragon right in front of him. Uh-oh. He steps away, but he hesitates against launching another missile attack. Perhaps the dragon can actually be reasoned with?

The mage holds up his hand to the dragon in a "please wait" gesture. Besides signalling his intentions, this gesture also serves as a component for a subtle Suggestion spell. "Please, great dragon, cease your attack. Our fight with the goblins is not even worthy of your wrath. And I cannot imagine that their assuredly-meager tribute is worth the risk to your life from my well-armed companions.

[CaBaNa]

Kamotz wonders to himself how many of his group are fleeing, he nearly laughs aloud as Alnar reassures the group they won't be felled by the beast. Where is the blasted lizard?! Did everyone run away? shouts the shifter, still having trouble in the thick darkness.

 

[Luinnar]

Arg, it is this way! Alnar shouts to Kamotz, irritated.

"That's right wyrm! We're well-armed and dangerous. Take this!... Curses! Well, we're armed anyway!," the young gnome declaims as he fires and misses.
