11      Duath'gur           ????/????  ??     Sculpt Sound on Voice; Acts every other round

As the group scatters, Duath'gur leans forward and unleashes a vast river of lava from his mouth.  The clinging, firey stream wholly engulf's Klale but no one else is near enough to feel anything more than a sharp rise in temperature.  The lava slams into the door of the tower and parts around the round room, rising to the roof or cascading off the sides in an eerie red mockery of a waterfall.

The lava has done some damage to the surface of the platform and blackened the walls of the tower where it touched, but everything seems sturdy enough yet.  A mild blue cascade of electrical energy washes over the top of the tower and disappears into the tiny metal rod at the top.

[Klale is within 30' of the Maia's chest and can strike melee if he so chooses.
Ryland/Ano are 100' above and 90' back.  At full move, Ryland could reach the Maia, but could not take any standard action or greater.
The door is 100' from the Maia's chest.

Klale held both move and action and may act first.
If you held action but not movement, you may act next.
If you held neither (Ryland), then you will act last this round.

Duath'gur does not act this round.]

Chapter 7: Battle of Sky Tomb

The lava engulfs Klale, the earth-attuned man, It pours upon his shield and runs down like reluctant rain. As the lava subsides, the unshaken, unharmed warrior bounds forward, strides, and—grim-faced, silent—leaps to hack and slash! The grim's Hard Time slices through one cheek, leaving flaps; grooves along the tongue, and slices the front of the other cheek. The maia's mouth begins to fill with bodily essense. Klale sets himself, and readies....

15:39, Today: Klale Tsolo rolled 10 using 4d6 with rolls of 3,1,5,1.  Damages.

Damages: 4*4 = 16 6+4 10 = 28 (If I did it right; forgot to take 20)

15:42, Today: Klale Tsolo rolled 16 using 1d20 with rolls of 16.  Confirm Critical.

15:37, Today: Klale Tsolo rolled 32 using 2d20 with rolls of 18,14.  To Hits: +13 +8.

13:41, Today: Klale Tsolo rolled 21 using 1d20+10.  Fortitude?

From inside the tower comes a muffled female curse.  The stone walls and thick stone door do not allow the sound to come through well, but it sounds something to the effect of: "I a eh ou!  Uh or i oo o!"

Tremors throughout the tower come more frequently now, and with them comes minute arcs of lightning chaining across gaps in the stone.

Far below, a massive disturbance in the clouds begins to swirl.

"We only have one shot at this before grumpy here figures us out. Take his head off it you can"

Ryland picks up speed in a dive and swoops over beyond the dischord's head. He flaps backwards hard to slow their momentum at the last second and releases his grip of Ano.

As Ryland release Ano he tucks into a tight roll for his landing and comes up on his feet upon the shoulder of the giant being. He places on hand on the stone of the discord of earth and reaches back with his other gathering his energy.  The energy forms around his fist and begins to change color as he speaks, from red, to Orange, to brilliant yellow. KOR! NAR! I!

Ano takes 15 to hit for a total of 24.
07:50, Today: Ano rolled 23 using 3d8+12.  Damage.

Going to assume he is too big for knock back damage

Chapter 7: Battle of Sky Tomb

Klale's blade sends pieces of the Maia's face exploding out into the sky along with sprays of lava.  Then Ano lands and a Klale-sized chunk of his neck disintegrates in a spray of debris that falls down into the clouds.  Duath'gur's head writhes back and forth, but it is unclear if it is from pain, anger, or madness.

Focusing on Klale, Duath'gur draws back a great fist over his head many stories into the sky as he prepares to bring it down on the platform.  His other hand grips the edge of the platform to provide more leverage.

Chapter 7: Battle of Sky Tomb

As the giant raises his fist to slam down on the platform, Xar leaps out from the tower onto the hand gripping the platform.  He works his way up toward the head moving fast, a natural sprinter as dwarves tend to be.  The run is a long one and he will just reach the other side of Duath'gur's neck by the time Ano and the others are making a second attack against the Maia.

Xar uses full movement this round - 80'.

Having dropped Ano off, Ryland decides it prudent to size up their monstrous enemy. He flies beyond the main body of what they can see to get a look at the dischord.

Ano runs down the arm that Duath'gur is using to support himself, and stops near the wrist.  He reaches into his pouch and grabs a smoke stick and a tinder twig. He strikes the tinder twig on the hard surface of the discord before lighting the smoke stick.

As the smoke starts to pour out he holds it high towards Ryland.  He uses his other hand to point to the eyes of the great stone head.

Chapter 7: Battle of Sky Tomb

The familiar sound of beating wings can be heard, but this time they are much slower and much heavier. Another roar rings out, louder and closer than the first when finally a gargantuan flying beast crests over the top of the tower. For those who encountered Shochraos'altiui, they would definitely recognize it as a dragon, but far larger. Its size nearly rivals that of Duath'gur himself.

The smooth metallic plates that form its face are highly polished and silver in color, almost as if the body of the creature was dipped in mithril. The dragon also has a frill that raises high over its head and continues down its neck and back, all the way down to the tip of its tail. Long spines with dark tips support the frill throughout its length. Its strong facial features and beaklike snout are crowned with two long, sleek and shiny horns that angle back behind its head.

Seeing the Maia's giant fist raised in the air, poised to strike, the mithril colored dragon rushes forward to intercept. With half its body on top of the tower, and the other half dug into the side for leverage, it braces itself for impact. Its equally giant clawed fist locks with Duath'gur's earthy wrist. Stress fractures spiderweb across the stone as a test of strength ensues. It almost appears as if they are in slow motion since neither gives the other any headway. The two dig in with their off hands and massive chunks of stone begin to slough off from all around them. The arcs of lightning begin to grow larger and dance around the dwindling platform.

A deep voice bellows forth. "You. Are not. Welcome here!"


Here is a good example of what you’re looking st:

Duath'gur's halted fist has caused significant damage to the tower, but it still stands.  The platform is growing unstable as it attempts to bear the weight of a gargantuan dragon.  In a rage, The Maia sends its second hand towards the dragon's throat.

Chapter 7: Battle of Sky Tomb

Having waited, Xar stabs his blades into Duath'gur's arms in a double, downward thrust.  The magical blades create a small fisher, but don't do any noticeably significant damage.  As the arm rises, Xar uses his new momentum and allows himself to be catapulted away from the Dischord.  Instead of landing on the tower - given that a huge dragon is there now - he lands instead on the dragon's back, near the base of the neck.

Ryland spies Ano's signal and exclaims "YOU WANT ME TO DO WHAT?!!". His protest is cut short by the entry of the massive dragon. The gale force of giant wings sends Ryland tumbling head over heels through the air, yelling in panic. The bass in his voice completely escapes him momentarily in the process. He disappears somewhere behind the hulking form of the dischord.

Ano tries to steady himself as the arm he is standing on begins to move upwards toward the dragon.  Whole hanging into the hard stone he begins to focus his Kai again. The energy builds in his hand and flashes through the colors and he shouts "KORN! AR! I!" and punches down at the huge stone wrist.

Ano takes 15 to hit.  total 24

As the arm moves, Klale is ignored; so the big man get set to thrust with full force. Hard Time bites deep; and, as he wrinches the sword back, more damage is done.


Taking 20 and 15 (with a +7). Applying the +13 from To Hit to Damage on first attack.
14:52, Today: Klale Tsolo rolled 10 using 4d6 with rolls of 6,1,2,1.  Damages.

14:50, Today: Klale Tsolo rolled 14 using 1d20.  Critical Hit. Damage * 2

(7 + 4 +13) * 2 = 48   3+4 = 7   = 55 total damage if I figured correctly.

Between Ano and Klale, the damage is sufficient to create a huge fissure in the Maia's wrist.  It cracks apart and disintegrates under the weight of the hand reaching for the Mithril Dragon. The hand slams into the platform, which crumbles further and the hand tumbles into the clouds.
