It takes a swing in real action to get used to using a mace, but Inas manages to dish out some damage (and, maybe, distract the creature from Rath).



08:31, Today: Inas Eoinsson rolled 2,5 using d20-1,d6+3.  Round 1A (6 to hit).

08:31, Today: Inas Eoinsson rolled 14,6 using d20-1,d6+3.  Round 1B (6 to hit).

Saliq frowned and a second polished ceramic fang dropped from the dragons has tumbled through the air and shattered on the ground below.

Saliq continues his illusionary assault on the creature, but it either doesn't notice or is too stupid to care.   Marissa misses with her magic hammer.  El Kabah, Rath and Inas all land decent blows to the dragon.

The Golem snaps twice, missing Inas once but biting him the second time (14hps).

Marissa  rolls...a 3.

Taking advantage of the dragon-golem's focus on Inas, Rath hammered the thing again.

Hits for 6 damage.

20:25, Today: Aldo Rathmus rolled 6 using 1d6+1. damage . 20:25, Today: Aldo Rathmus rolled 17 using 1d20-1. attack with mace.

Saliq ground his teeth in frustration, but hung back waiting for the appropriate moment to cast a spell. If the golem was too dim to even percieve his illusions then Saliq might be in trouble!

Inas clubs the creature on the snout . . . hard.

10:25, Today: Inas Eoinsson rolled 15,6 using d20-1,d6+3.  Round 2 (6 to hit).

Saliq grinds his teeth menacingly.   Marissa misses with her magic hammer.  El Kabah, Rath and Inas all land decent blows to the dragon that shows cracks forming now all over its body but barely, just barely hangs together.

The Golem snaps twice,biting both Rath ( 8hps  ) and Kabah ( 12hps   ).




14:42, Today: GM Bard rolled 12 using 2d10 with rolls of 10,2.  damage to Kabah.
14:42, Today: GM Bard rolled 8 using 2d10 with rolls of 1,7.  damage rath.
14:41, Today: GM Bard rolled 26 using 2d20 with rolls of 20,6.  attack Rath and Kabah.
14:41, Today: GM Bard rolled 5 using 2d3 with rolls of 2,3.  target.

Round 4 Players are UP!

 

Marissa let's out a loud growl as she moves the hammer in position. It is a prolonged shout, increasing in volume as she pushes the hammer in for one more try!

To Hit 11

Damage 5

"Huzzah!"

(please let it hit, please let it hit, please let it hit!!!).

As Marissa's magically create hammer slams into the clay dragon, the magic that created and held it together gives way and the creature splinters, cracks, and crumbles into a pile of dirt, its last remaining tooth finally falls off and shatters on the floor.


ooc: The last of the witch's guardians below ground has been defeated, you now have access to the exit.

Saliq bows his head towards the Djinn. 'You fought very well noble son of the winds, and I am very grateful. Please return to your ring so that you may recover.'

Kabah, who has two deep bruised wounds from the golems bite, nods,

"Be warned, genie metal lasts but an hour..." and vanishes back to the ring.

Rath didn't hesitate. He grabbed a mail shirt, squeezed into it, and a shield. Then he set about a series of prayers to close some wounds. "Let's get the hell out of here."

OOC: I have 4 1st level spells slots left. 3 cure light wounds for Rath and one for Inas. Inas heals 4 hp, Rath 6 hp. Not feeling especially blessed this morning!

05:45, Today: Aldo Rathmus rolled 4 using 1d8 with rolls of 4.  CLW Inas.

05:45, Today: Aldo Rathmus rolled 6 using 3d8 with rolls of 1,3,2.  three clw on Rath.

Rath quickly leads the group out into the daylight.  You emerge within a field of quite large boulders that all but hides the entrance.  The boulders themselves are clumped together measuring about 100 yards across total.  Climbing to the top of nearest large boulder, you get a sense of the island, you are nearly in the center with bodies of water to the north and a small one to the east, there are six tall mountain ranges at the far edges of the island in all directions.  And on these, even from this distance, you can see great forms moving about, dragons, dragons, and more dragons.  Each range has its own color, the largest ranges due north and southeast each has two.  Silver, Gold, and Copper in the northern reaches, Black, Red, Blue and White to the southern.  There are smoldering corpses of several dragons lying in the fields beyond the boulders, clearly a battle has taken place recently.  For now, there are no dragons flying around.

"Can't we all just get along?" Marissa mutters. Then she asks Astral, "Should we be presenting you to the various flights of dragons, as would a human dignitary be presented at court? I'm at a loss here."

"Allies to the north," Rath grunted. "I think."

He was ready to follow Astral's lead, but, if the dragonling dithered, Rath would more firmly suggest north.

'I agree, I think our best hope is to request aid with the good dragons,' Saliq said. 'We can travel under a cloak of invisibility for a time at least.'

Barring a counter-suggestion from Astral, Inas evaluates the best path north.

Inas spends a bit of time just beyond the edge of the boulders, searching for a path North, he is confident he can lead the group that way, however, he does find a recent trail.  Someone who came from the west, a single human.

Meanwhile, Astral, after being very still with her eyes shut, adds,  "I'm not sure they know ally from enemy. They were all under the witches sway until you killed her.  Probably enchanted since they were young.  A few of the older ones may have remembered the old grudges and fought each other, but the rest.  I just sense confusion, at being free".

Saliq looks intrigued by the mention of a trail. 'It was probably left by that dragon slayer. Maybe she left a boat hidden somewhere back the way she came?'

"Lovely," Marissa muttered. "Laws of unintended consequence. Now we're going to have to keep an eye front and back."

"I don't know if it'll do any good, but is there a way to keep Astral outta sight, just in case?"

In reply to Inas Eoinsson (msg # 501):

OOC: Saliq's invisibility spell should do the trick as well as anything.

"That would be a fine idea. I suspect that the dragon hunter will have countermeasures, at least at short range, but in that state, Astral should get a head start fleeing from danger as we handle the crisis."

"West, then. Along the trail. Find the boat. Get back to Stormhaven." He waited for Saliq to put up the invisibility to cloak them and then did his best to follow behind Inas, keeping near Saliq. He was vaguely interested in what would happen when the djinni's hour was up and the conjured armor expired.
