In reply to Morteft (msg # 946):

Ez’ard agrees and prepares himself. Anyone looking will notice new red accents to his clothing.

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 948):

Trysk looks over to see if the red accents are blood.

"Right.  Let's go."

Warwick starts walking.

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 948):

OOC: Yes the monstrous fungi can but they will have a movement of non 0, just saying there does not need to be self-locomotion to get from place to place

Fritz nods says "It will be a parley, at least in the beginning.  It will be something like 'join or die'."  he shrugs "I assume you will not join, then you will need to fight.  In your favor is that protocol dictates in these matters, that only the ruling dragon and the bodyguards may do battle.  Of course any visitors may do as they will.  The only other variable is that the high priest has the discretion of joining the 'discussion'.  I am not sure what Dolath will do in this case."

In reply to Warwick (msg # 950):

Trysk follows Warick.

Arye will join along.

Shorty grumbles about no bery smart.  But as no one else seems to care that the group is rather beaten up, he tags along.  He glares at Ez’ard and his new red highlights.  “No sticky finners, Izzard.”

*Are ye injured, lad?  We may be down some spells, but I'm not aware of any of us being hurt.*

In reply to Warwick (msg # 955):

Ez’are sends, *No, just thought I’d try to impress Big Red with a flash of her color.*

In reply to Ez'ard (msg # 956):

*I was asking our grumbly ogre friend, but thanks for letting me know, Ez'ard.*

In reply to Warwick (msg # 957):

OOC
Trysk dons the cloak, too.

Shorty shakes his head in reply.  “No hurt.  Just scratch.  But no pop left.  Us use muches magic.  No ready few big fight wid many enemy.  Minion gonna fight wid her.  Guard gonn fights wid her.  Maybeso more.  Us no ready few day muches.  Should sleep first.  Better ta makes her mad den gets kilt fer be no bery smart.”

In reply to Shorty (msg # 959):

The group begins to move toward the shaft of light behind the statue of Tiamat.  As you get closer you can see and hear the statue move slowly forward.  The eyes of the red dragon head begin to glow and the shaft of light behind statue, as the huge double doors begin to open more, becomes more of a glowing reddish light expanding begin the statue.

Shorty expresses his concerns as the party moves forward.  Fritz moves over to Shorty and puts a hand on his back and says "It will be difficult but I think we have enough to overcome.  Remember you were not supposed to get passed me, she is ill-prepared." he then says somewhat jovially "Oh, I hope you all have fire protection, it is bound to get extremely hot in there."

OOC: A little pause if you have any preps to make, Fritz will indicate that you have up to 30 minutes to make the appearance.

--DM2

He will cast protection from fire on himself.

Arye thinks to the group, *I can provide protection from fire for up to 4 other people.  Did we ever determine if we can summon elementals to this place?*

In reply to Ayre Vafir (msg # 961):

*No, we can't seem to summon anything.*

Warwick slides his ring of fire protection on his finger while putting his ring of elemental summoning into his pouch.

Shorty checks that his Amulet of Protection fro, Fire is still in place around his neck.

OOC:  We tried Astral and Fire…  has anyone actually tried earth yet?

In reply to Shorty (msg # 963):

*Ayre, I'll take ye're spell, please.*

In reply to Warwick (msg # 964):

Trysk has Ring of Spell Storing and Ring of Protection +3 on.

Ez’ard digs through his pockets to find his amulet of fire resistance and dons it.

Morteft switches his ring from cold to fire protection.

After about 10 minutes, he casts detect invisibility (should last 80 minutes).

"Is everyone good with stoneskin? I have some scrolls if not." Morteft asks.

In reply to Morteft (msg # 967):

*I'm good, but we should spread out so that Dispel Magic doesn't affect us all.*

*good point. A dispel is a 30 foot cube, so let's spread enough to be 30 feet apart. The risk is being overrun, but we can fly.*

"Fritz, do you need a stoneskin?"

In reply to Morteft (msg # 969):

Fritz replies to Mortfet, "No, I am still covered from before. Thank you for the offer."

OOC: Anymore prep before the Dragon's Lair?

--DM2

OOC:  Superball squeeze but that is as combat breaks out.

In reply to Shorty (msg # 971):

Trysk casts Protection from Normal Missiles on himself.
