[QUOTE="kinem, post: 4841224, member: 24234"] The fake dragon was designed to scare away interlopers, but it also serves as some protection for the men inside. For one thing, it absorbed the full force of Keira's icy blast, though it was shattered in the process. Enough of the framework remains that it would be difficult for Ripclaw to jump inside and pounce on the many-imaged robed man. Ripclaw approaches the remains of the 'dragon head' and Girgal does a bit of conjuring. A small roughly humanoid creature made of rock rises out of the ground next to the robed man and attempts to slam him, but hits what must be a false image, which then disappears. The men inside the 'dragon' begin to flee, away from the party, and presumably towards a rear exit hole ;) The robed man withdraws as well. The earth elemental takes the opportunity to attack as he turns to flee, and strikes a blow on the man himself this time, not just an image. But the man is still able to get away. However, unlike the other men, he flees only partway, then turns and casts a spell. A point of light shoots from his hand towards the front of the 'dragon' - and continues out. Near Keira, it explodes into a massive [COLOR="Red"][SIZE="3"]fireball[/SIZE][/COLOR]! Keira nearly takes the full force of the fireball, although her combat training does allow her to turn and shield her face from the deadly flames. Aram is the furthest from the blast and he is able to evade the flames entirely by ducking into a depression in the rough earthern ramp. Girgal and Ripclaw are burned from behind but escape the worst of the fire. Father Fuller reacts in time to bring up his shield, protecting him somewhat though he too is burned. ooc: PCs to act [sblock=ooc]Aram 64/64 Fuller 37/58 Girgal 45/66 Ripclaw 57/57 Keira 33/75[/sblock] [sblock=map][code] XXXXX...........XXXXX XXXXX...D..D....XXXXX XXXXX...D..D....XXXXX XXXXX..D..R.D...XXXXX XXXXX..D....D...XXXXX XXXXX..D....D...XXXXX XXXXX..D....D...XXXXX XXXXX...D..D....XXXXX XXXXX...D..D....XXXXX XXXXX...de.d....XXXXX XXXXX....dd....XXXXXX XXXXX....dd....XXXXXX .....----ddG--A...... .....----------...... .....-----K----...... .....-------*--...... .....----------...... .....----F-----...... .....----------...... .....----------...... .....----------...... .....----------...... .....----------...... .....----------...... ..................... ..................... ---------- = ramp (0' to 30' high, steep sides) dd dd = wrecked 'dragon' (difficult terrain, cost 10'/sq) D D = intact 'dragon' (solid wall) A = Aram F = Fuller G = Girgal + Ripclaw K = Keira e = small earth elemental * = center of fireball R = robed man [/code][/sblock] [/QUOTE]
