There is a force ceiling 30' up (transparent). Ambient (daylight) illumination.
  The river is 10' deep (I made it deeper) in the middle and sloping up to 5' at the edges. It flows from SW to NE at a speed of 10'/round.
  The ground is dirt and/or sand down to 10' where it is sealed off by another wall of force.
  The stone structures are 15' high and made of stonemasonry (DC 20 climb check). The stone has hardness 8, 90 HP (per 10'x10' section) and the Break DC is 35.

  The bridges are wooden (hardness 5, 60 HP, Break DC 20).
The team starts in green, the dragon in red. Go!

For this most special — and indeed, most non-permanent — of occasions, Ayesha decided to break out her very special, extra-potent, high-proof bottle of jhuild, Rashemi firewine, received from her mentor in the drunken arts, Thaddeus.

She'd been sipping her shot of the potent dark-red brew for the last minute, and had pretty much been belted in the head by a Rashemi berserker each time. It was starting to have an effect. 'Go for the eyes, Boo, GO FOR THE EYES!! RrraaaAAGHGHH!!!'

She pulled another phial and sloshed it over her hands, feet, and forehead. Then she pulled the black silk cat mask crookedly into place. 'Fear not! I will inspire you all by charging blindly on!'

OOC: Ok, no problem.

A not very impressive roar is heard from the other side of the large arena.

Dragon rolls 8 for initiative.

Adamar immediately began casting as soon as he materialized in the arena. The elf lightly tapped Ayesha on the shoulder and transferred a bit of protection magic to the already unsteady woman. Once done he said a quick enchantment and almost began vibrating with movement and excitement as his daggers almost seemed to jump into his hand.
"Ooooo, thisisgoingtobefun!" the now magically sped up Beguiler said, his voice coming out in a somewhat high pitched frenetic pace.
"Mindthecausticbreath!"

Miarisha materialized and drew a gnarly stick from her belt and asked the spirits for their blessing, soon she felt the gift coursing through her veins. After stowing it she cast a spell that the spirits of nature had taught her., it would be protecting her from the acidic spittle the dragon was known for.

Eventually she felt prepared and called her bow into her hands, knocking an arrow in one fluid guesture.

Mia, is Tourouk with you?

No, Tourouk won't be fighting in the dwarven halls, so he isn't with us here either.

Oh well, I was convinced to ride Tourouk to battle. Will update my post with his details later. Both spells are shared with him.

As Mia and her bird took to the air the elf pulled the hood up on his bald pate and touched the monk's shoulder with a sly grin.

OOC: Where did the Darkness come from?


'Where am I?' Ayesha wondered as she suddenly vanished. No matter, she peered around the wall and saw the dragon breathe its horrible acid at Mia and Tourouk; she hoped her protection held. She wanted to leap up and grab the dragon, but it was still too high. She need to get higher. Time to climb.

There's only so much you can learn in one place.
The more that I wait, the more time that I waste.

I haven't got much time to waste.
It's time to make my way.
I'm not afraid of what I'll face.
But I'm afraid to stay.
I'm going down my road and I can make it alone
I'll work and I'll fight till I find a place of my own.

Unseen, she sprinted across the arena under Tourouk and the dragon, not for them but for the next big stone block nearby. The nimble monk leaped off the ground, put her sandal to the corner, then propelled herself even higher. She slapped a hand on the top of the block, then hauled herself up on strong arms, scrambling up the rest of the way. Finally, she dashed to the far end of the wall.

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump.
Don't ever look back oh baby.
Yes, I'm ready to jump.
Just take my hand.
Get ready to jump.

OOC: sorry; darkness is a spell-like ability. The dragon has cast it on herself (10' radius).

In reply to DM Solo (msg # 11):

Reflex save Miarisha 16, fail. Takes 11 damage.
Reflex save Tourouk 29, success. Takes 0 damage.

Round 2.
Mia, you're up!

Miarisha heard the swishing of wings then the hiss of acid as it splashed her shoulder. Acrid smell came to her nostrils and then she realized the pain. Her bow swiftly found his target and she released the arrow she had knocked when they took off into the air.

Fortunately Tourouk managed to dodge the brunt of the stream and the magic protected him from harm. The dire eagle set off to attack the dragon as his catfolk rider unleashed a barrage at the scaled menace. Tourouk raked a claw accross the dragon's hide before veering off and robbing the enemy of the oportunity to retaliate.

OOC: all, please indicate what attacks are considered magical.

Mia's attacks are all magical. Tourouk'S are not.

OOC: The dragon is under an effect of concealment, thus allowing for a 20% miss chance. I've rolled for your attacks and Tourouk, and only the eagle misses. The dragon is unaffected by the darkness.

The dragon, while smaller than the eagle, lashes out at Miarisha as the giant bird sweeps by.

AoO (Miarisha): 24, Damage 8

OOC: I think we missed Adamar's turn?

Ack!

Ok, deleting post... AoO still stands though.

Seeing the battle in the sky the elf decided to harass the dragon a bit to help Mia and her eagle. Channeling a small amount of his magic into his gloves the elf fires off two magical bolts that streaked towards the dragon. As soon as he fired Adamar winked into view and then ran back south for cover behind the stone structure they started behind.

OOC: I misread the line on DR. This dragon is young enough not to enjoy it.

The scaly beast roars with both pain and rage as it comes under a barrage of arrows and magic missiles. The eagle however misses with its raking claws in the conjured shadowy cloud that surrounds the young dragon.
Flapping its strong wings the scalykind shoots forth like an arrow and as it flies by Miarisha and her eagle snaps with its mighty jaws around her bow threating to snatch it from her hands!

ooc Mia has the murky eyed flaw. Please roll her miss chances twice. I am on my mobile cannot do it myself.

OOC: Done, second arrow missed.

ooc: Mia's action depends on what happens to her bow...

Miarisha was caught by surprise when the dragon attempted to snatch the bow from her hands. But instead of holding on to it, she let go. Just then Tourouk slashed at the black dragon but missed it.

When the dragon sped away, the dire eagle followed swiftly then attempted another slash before passing it.

Miarisha let go of her longbow.

Having successfully taken the bow the dragon flies away with it before dropping it in the river.

Post removed.

OOC: I think we missed my turn. Where is the dragon now?

ooc: It's in C21, did we skip Ayesha?

Correct. Mia got a little carried away with the disarm perhaps.

Oops... I'm very sorry, indeed got carried away.

Ayesha cursed as the dragon flew right past without giving her even a chance of jumping on it. Well now how was she going to get to ride a big flying beast. She looked up at the giant eagle...

We learned out lesson from the start,
My sisters and me.
The only thing you can depend on
Is your family.
Life's gonna drop you down like the limbs from a tree.
It sways and it swings and it bends until it makes you see.

She took a swig of dwarven courage, feeling the swell of reckless courage and a flush of warmth. Straight up? Okay. She crouched, gathering her pneuma in her feet and legs, feeling the power grow... She sprang, and the stone block trembled beneath her. Ayesha flew straight up, past the bird, bounced off the overhead force-field, and landed sitting neatly in the saddle behind Miarisha, with barely a mouse's weight. 'Hi! It's me! Get me over the dragon, and I'll do the rest.' she said in her friend's pointed furry ear.

Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump.
Don't ever look back, oh baby.
Yes, I'm ready to jump.
Just take my hand.
Get ready to jump.

Miarisha was caught by surprise when the dragon attempted to snatch the bow from her hands. But instead of holding on to it, she let go. Just then Tourouk slashed at the black dragon but missed it.

When the dragon sped away, the dire eagle followed swiftly then attempted another slash before passing it by.

Tourouk took off after the other flyer in hot pursuit, taking Mia with him. The catfolk saw the dragon dropping her precious weapon into the river and she let out a feline hiss. Swiftly she glided out of the saddle and dropped to the ground, just before she would have smashed her bones on the ground she asked the winds to stop her fall and glided to the ground like a feather. The feline let out something that sounded like a growl but an instant later her bow came to rest in her hands again. Immediately she let another arrow fly at the offending dragon offspring...

Meanwhile Tourouk chased the dragon down and raked his talon along its back before speeding off again.

ooc:
Tourouk AoO (dragon avoids AoO from Mia only) 11, miss.
Miarisha let go of her longbow.

Adamar watched the battle unfold in the air, the dragon and dire eagle doing their deadly aerial dance and Mia dropping down to the ground. The elf could not help but marvel at the exotic beauties agility and grace. With a wide smile Adamar began to launch into spell casting aimed at the wyrm.

The dragon snarls with dismay as the snatched bow is so easily recovered, and cries out as the arrow hits. The eagle the strafes the dragon, who once more lashes out with its long neck and manages to hurt the giant bird with its sharp teeth (AoO hits, Tourouk takes 8 damage).
Surveying the battlefield the dragon wheighs its options.

Did the dragon resist the Daze Monster spell?

ooc: Tourouk has fly-by attack, I don't think the dragon can snap at him, right?

OOC: yes, the spell was resisted (failed to note that, sorry). Flyby attack says nothing about denying AoO's, sorry.

Ayesha held on for dear life as the giant eagle was viciously attacked by the dragon. 'Be brave, birdy.' she said, patting his feathered neck. But finally the dragon was in range, close enough to jump on. Before Tourouk could flap away, she stood up in the saddle, balancing surefooted, then leaped across the gap, throwing herself bodily at the black dragon!

Slamming into the scaly back, an invisible monk suddenly appeared, drunkenly wrestling for the dragon's wings. Ayesha intended to knock it out of the sky – with herself on it! 'Now this is how to train your dragon!'

Miarisha screamed in anguish when her feathered friend was torn apart with a single flurry of attacks. Then the dire eagle fell from the sky, dying.

I think it's your turn to act Mia...

ooc: I thought we were waiting for the DMs reaction to Ayesha's stunt. *shrugs*

Miarisha screemed when Tourouk hit the floor. Her eyes were tearing up as she losened arrow after arrow and each arrow did nothing but hit the walls...

ooc: Three arrows, three misses due to concealment.
