Vasorn, the World Under Dragonfire

Zykovian, Half Sapphire Dragon Fighter/Rogue: 57/101 hps, 0 pps

*At this Antiphia gets a terrible look of anger on her face. She stalks over to Kelvarix and looks in his dead eyes. With a curt motion she spits in both of them and then walks back over to the group.*

Zykovian looked at her and nodded approvingly, "Very efficient."

Zykovian tried to think of the layout of where they were located, what sort of threats that they may yet face, and how to get out of here. Regardless of whether the cage breakers allowed him to leave with them or not, he could no longer remain here . . . tt was no longer safe - if it ever was.

"We should keep moving, to remain here only invites more trouble," Zykovian said, moving to one of the tunnels into the area and glimpsed down it, trying to stay out of sight.

"Insolent, ungrateful little mud-eater!" it snarls.

*It's heavy, jeweled claw rakes along your side, and its tail whips around and lashes you across the back, drawing blood. Behind you the dragonkin picks up its crossbow and fires, though it sails over both of your heads. You hear a muffled curse from the dragonkin and if you turn to look you can see it is getting peppered with crossbow bolts from the hiding slaves. Most of them don't connect, but it's obviously very distracting.*
"Too long have I eaten mud on behalf of your kin. Your blood will taste sweeter." Zass'sk hisses back to the dragon.

*Having failed to get a hold of the dragon, Zass'sk changes his tactic and pummels the large beast with a full flurry of attacks, mixing unarmed strikes with Whispertree.*

(OOC: Full attack with haste +15/+15/+15/+10 plus bite +14, dam 1d4+4. First three attacks with unarmed strikes [dam 2d6+8] and the last one with Whispertree [dam 1d6+8]. AC 24, HP 57/101.)

"Sounds fine to me," Alyshia said in response to Kilvash. She too grinned when she saw what Antiphia did with the dragon's hoard.

While Kilvash tended to Grim, she took a moment to look around, regarding each of the other Cagebreakers in turn. She listened to the conversation between Kilvash and Grim, while examining the half-dragon last.

Then, it occurred to her that she still had a sea urchin atop her head. Carefully, she reached up and tried to remove him without getting stung. "Come off of there, Spike. Last time you decided to rest atop my head, you got tangled up, remember? I had to cut my hair, and it looked like I was starting to go bald."
 

*Alyshia, you gently work Spike free as he gripes.*

"Well now, if your hair grew up around me, I'd be secure, and you would have a fantastic hairstyle that would be the envy of the Underdark, and you know it," he mutters.

*Zykovian, around here you know that there's two caverns and about a half-mile of cavern in between here and Gardanax's lair. All amethyst dragons have the ability to instantly step between here and the Mineral Plane, but most of the young ones simply forget to use it. Gardanax won't, and he could get down here very easily, especially if he starts to miss Kelvarix from his post. Now would be a great time for an exit.*

*However, everyone knows that with the death of an older dragon, going down the carefully hidden passageways they came in would be folly and would reveal their location to the dragons. A quick, though dangerous way could be found by dashing through the mines themselves and try to escape in the confusion. Or you could hole up and wait, though the danger of being found is terrible. Or you could try to find one of Gardanax's escape routes. He has them around here, but they're known only to him and damn well hidden.*

*Zass'sk throws the dragon's words back at it, along with a right hook, rip-shattering kick, viscious hit with his tonfa, as well as taking out a chunk of the dragon's flesh with his teeth.*

"You'll pay for that, traitor!" he snarls, sinking his teeth and claws into your flesh. From behind a heavy bolt flies towards your head. Twising away, you strike the arrow deftly, and it goes flying into the cave wall. The dragonkin snarls at his inability to hit you with its crossbow. He drops the crossbow on the ground, and starts to draw his sword as he runs toward his master.

~~~

*Eleth, you were separated from the mindflayers and gaggle of skum you were helping out when one of overseers triggered a rockfall trap. You've been going through the caverns, trying to find another of the resistance, some slaves to assist, or some dragons to kill. As you start to work your way into the next cavern, you see and hear a sight which might be all three. There's one very angry dragon currently in battle with a lizardfolk. The dragon clearly isn't very experienced, and the lizardfolk seems to be getting the better of him. However, a dragonkin armed with a sword is running toward him from behind.*

*But the dragon is the biggest threat, it always is. The dragon surely knows you're there, but he's rather occupied at the moment. With a smile, you sight down your bow and release two arrows, watching with satisfaction as they bury themselves deep behind the dragon's shoulder.*

~~~

*Zass'sk, you watch, startled, and two arrows seem to whip out of the darkness to strike your foe. Looking behind the dragon you can't see anything but shadows.*

[OOC - Zass'sk hits with a 29, 30, misses with an 18, hits with Whispertree on a 27, and hits with his bite for a 30. He does a total of 55 points of damage. Dragon hits with its bite on a 27, with his claw on a 31, misses with his wing slap on a 19, and on his tail slap with a 15. He does a total of 16 points of damage. The dragonkin moves twenty feet closer. He is now 40 feet away from you. Eleth is 30 ft. away from the very occupied dragon, however it still has blindsense and thus he cannot get the sneak attack, and hits twice (25 and 24) for a total of 48 points of damage.]

*Eleth smiles, sensing that the tide of battle is flowing in his direction. Eliminate the dragon, and the dragonkin couldn't find him, easy pickings. Stepping back slightly, Eleth fires off three quick shots from his bow*

"Watch your back, lizard man, I'll handle this one."

(OOC: 5 ft. step back, followed by full attack: +21/+21/+16 with Dragonbane, each shot deals 1d8+2d6+11 dmg if it hits, no penalty for firing into melee b/c precise shot. AC: 27, HP: 77/77

*Zass'sk casts a brief look from the corner of his eye to the direction he heard someone speak to him from the darkness, but keeps his focus on the dragon.*

And let you have the pleasure of killing this beast all alone. I don't think so...

*The lizardman is starting to feel the wear and tear of the battle in him, but won't step aside, when facing a hated dragon.*

(OOC: Full attack just like last round with haste: +15/+15/+15/+10 plus bite +14, dam 1d4+4. First three attacks with unarmed strikes [dam 2d6+8] and the last one with Whispertree [dam 1d6+8]. AC 24, HP 41/101.)

*At your question Grim, Antiphia returns to the now-empty lair.*

"I know he used some kind of secret entrance, but I never knew how to open it. It was over there, on that wall," she says, pointing.

*Grim goes to work, feeling the stone, checking the cracks to look for an outline of a door, and examining for any marks of consequence. He does indeed find a secret door, simple yet ingenius in its construction. It is a massive slab of stone carved to look like the cave wall, and surperbly balanced so that even a weak dragon could move it. It is latched from the inside, but with a bit of work from your tools, you can devise a way to slide the latch over.*

*However, it's going to take some muscle to move the door. Calling Zykovian, the half-dragon bends to the task, aided by Guran and Ellimon. After a moment or two, they can move it enough for everyone to slip through. Behind the door it seems the passage slopes down and curves back toward the mines. Maybe it comes out in one of the abandonded mine shafts or something.*

*Zass'sk kicks the dragon twice solidly, but couldn't swing Whispertree hard enough to do any realy damage, and his teeth just slid off the dragon's scales. The dragon is looking rather fatigued and wounded now, and you catch a glimpse of fear in his eyes.*

"How dare you! How dare you hurt me! How dare you, how dare you, how dare you...!" he chants as his claws and wings buffet you.

"How dare you, how dare you, how da-" his chant is forever silenced as as two more of Eleth's arrows strike the dragon in the neck, delivering the fatal blow.*

[OOC - Zass'sk hits with a 33, 24, misses with a 21, misses with Whispertree with a 20, and misses with his bite with a 17. He does a total of 30 points of damage. The dragon hits a 27, misses wth a 17, hits with a 27, and misses with an 18. He does a total of 17 points of damage. Eleth hits with a 35, 30, and misses with an 18. He does a total of 44 points of damage, finally dropping the dragon.]
 

*Eleth smiles. No more blindsight, time to finish the job. He strides forward silently and fires another pair of arrows into the nearest dragonkin.

(OOC: Move up to 45 feet until he's within 30 feet of a dragonkin, then rapid shot with dragon sneak attack. One attack at +19, 2d8+8d6+22 on a successful hit.)
