"YAAAAY!" Cherub cheers in tears, offering a kiss for Carla and then a glomp 'n kiss for Matt, "You saved them all, Matt!  You're amazing!"

"Wow," Imp says, sounding impressed, "Now to make that dragon pay!"

Mits smiles.  "Sweet!  Great time saver there.  Note to self.  If ever I need to make architecture out of people, necromancy is good for glue even on the living."

She heads on into the next room.

ROOM SETUP
The room before you has an open roof. In its center is a statue of a dragon, surrounded by a maelstrom of wind and sunlight. Eight mirrors are set into the floor near the room’s entrance. On the far side of the room, water pours into a fountain from three carved draconic heads. Flanking the fountain, two pillars of black stone crackle with blue sparks.

Standing proudly in front of the fountain is a green dragon, its verdant scales glistening in the sun. Dragonborn warriors surround the dragon.


Perception Check

DC 11: A screaming elven face presses against the other side of one of the mirrors, and fists pound soundlessly against the glass. Just as quickly as it appeared, the face is swept away.

DC 18: The scrape of footsteps around the corners indicates that more foes hide just out of sight.

DC 23: Enveloped by the swirling maelstrom, the eyes of the dragon statue reflect the sunlight like mirrored glass.

Angel says nothing to the enemies. She's far enough away now that anything she says might get a "huh?" from the enemies at this point.

She takes aim, narrowing her eyes. "Time to show my friends I have what it takes..." Angel comments to herself. Granted, this is just as much to show herself she has what it takes since missing lately has given rise to self doubt.

The dragon finds a couple crossbow bolts fly at her and hit true. Seemingly from all the way across rooms.

Maverick remains hidden. Much as he likes getting up close and personal, he doesn't like the look of those mirror things and the storm thing. He throws a stone at the dragon and misses, but is just fine sitting in his hiding spot.

---

Go for the Eyes v Dawn. Critical fail(19)
Miss: If you were hidden from the target, you do not expend this power

Rainbow flutters about in the room, causing the dborn to be distracted while Carla walks right up to the storm and places the battle standard within it. The room begins filling with cold again. Carla just stares at the dragon with stern defiance, standing right in front of her.

Carla then raises a hand and throws it downward in the rather familiar gesture of bringing down the ion beam from heaven, causing the dragon to suffer the burning sensation of divine radiance!

  The gladiators fail to smack cherubs or prevent the placement of flags.

  The Dawn™ remains unumpressed at the radiant burns, and gestures with a claw towards Carla "You play with trifles, come before a true goddess!!" she roars, disdainfully backhanding Carla across the face as she is compelled to enter the maelstrom.

---

AoO's miss.
Dragon slide hits.
one claw hits.  8 DMG.

Status:  Carla is slowed (Save ends). first failed save becomes immobilized (Save ends).  Second failed save banishes to the phantom zone.

Cherub cheers for Angel.  "See?  You're plenty accurate!"

Mits has a very impressed frown/smile as she steps forward.  "You got guts, Carla.  I like that."

She then readies her weapon.

"Spin Sword - BLAZING STORM!"

Fire and lightning spews everywhere!

---

Exactly like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQnGx8NsuYw

  Matt's first three plans of action are invalid, so makes some adjustments to third option to circle around Mittens and backhand a gladiator in the face with his shield, sending them into the storm.  He follows up with an casual thwack of the hammer to the other nearby enemy.

  One of the Gladiators slashes Rainbow with his sword, to the usual effect we have seen so far.  Another willingly enters the storm to flank Carla, and misses horribly for his troubles.

  The rest circle Matt, Mittens, and Cherub to unleash a coordinated BBQ!  Hitting all of them at least somewhat, Matt even gets crit twice!... so far as "10 damage" is worth worrying bout as a crit at this point.

  Defying logic (See also, Magic:) the only Dragonborn who fails to put out the flames upon them is the one in the tiny localized wind and rainstorm.

Angel regrets she can't yell out to Mittens how amazing that looked, but shrugs and fires another arrow at Dawn.

Angel doesn't really have to say much. Her crossbow bolts speak for her as yet another bolt lands deep into Dawn's flesh.

---

Standard: Guardian Arrow v Dawn. Hit(41)!
 dmg: 38

Dawn HP: 529 - 38 = 491

Maverick throws another stone at the dragon, this time hitting it in the eye! WHACK! The dragon is unable to see. Maverick doesn't comment, lest he give away his hiding spot. But he is smiling so much inside.

---

Go for the Eyes v Dawn. Hit(32)!
 dmg: 33

Dawn HP: 491 - 33 = 458

"Was that supposed to hurt?" Carla telepaths to the whole room. "I am an angel of a true god: Pelor. I have basked in his presence since before your ancestors were born, child."

She walks to the flag and bursts light all about, and then bursts it more in waves before saying aloud, "Sun." causing the dragon and her followers to all catch fire painfully while being baked by Carla's radiance.

Carla finishes with shaking off the slowing effects as if an afterthought and telepathing, "Repent before it's time to close the door."

  "I have no need to see, to punish your blasphemy!" Oh hey, rhymes AND poison.  Reverie should sue.

  The Dawn sprays her poisnous breath across the room, the near dead Dragonborns shrugging it off easily while Carla and Cherub's tiny little lungs are flooded with it.    Well, and that one Dborn up north, that's what you get for yawning on the job.

Though the Dragon gets another arrow for it's trouble.

Mittens floats over to sit on the dragon's head and begins to sing.

"Say Your Goodbyes
That Was Your Life
You'll Pay All Your Penance
Laser Cannon Death Sentence!"

She shoots beams of light from her eyes in rapid succession, burning up and exploding the dragonborn and a few of the dragon's body parts!

"D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D DIE!"

  Things are fine!  Everything is fine!  The dragon isn't even bloodied yet despite all the explosions caused by cute girls-

  Oh wow dragon knees are not supposed to bend sideways right?  Despite it being obvious which direction the attack came from,  Carla is doing more (figurative) smack talk so the angry poison gets sprayed in her baby face again.

  We may have forgotten to roll damage for that, but at this point- *Angel's arrow misses dragon and stabs post on the word 'point'*

Angel fires more bolts at the dragon. They hurt even more this time. "Still got it." she says quietly to herself. "But I really need to get closer so I can admire how amazing my allies are being."

So she moves closer.

Biting Volley v Dawn. Hit(29)! Hit(41)!
 dmg: 55
Move: Closer

Dawn HP: 280 - 55 = 225

Maverick sees everyone closing in for the kill and like a shark in bloodied waters, the boy charges in to join the feeding frenzy! STABINATION! The dragon feels one really nasty stab in the side (since it is still facing Carla).

Carla eyebeams the dragon, just as Dawn gets her vision back. Carla telepaths, "Now that you can see again, behold: You are almost dead; your lair laid waste and none of my team all that hurt. Take your foolishness with you to the afterlife and think about how your actions led to your demise."

  The Dawn Flies to saftey throgh the open roof despite the slow effects  Attempts to fly past the heroes only to not make it any useful distance.  Oh dear.

Angel gets excited as she sees Mittens charging something up and figures the kitty has something special in mind, but is letting her allies get one last hit in. So Angel shoots and scores a couple nice hits on the dragon.

Maverick vanishes, walks over to the dragon and stabs it so bad, he almost steals Mitts' kill. But not quite. Whether he held back enough on purpose or not is anyone's guess.

"You're not getting away, your holiness," Mits says, flying after the dragon as her fist crackles with lightning.

She hacks off a wing and looks ready to continue with more banter and violence when a strange totem ( http://pre10.deviantart.net/47...igduluth-d36zchv.jpg )appears over the dragon's head along with the sound of drums and chanting for a moment and she collapses dead with a scream!

"Angel!" the voice of her mother calls from behind her.

Velocity hurries to her baby girl to give her a warm embrace, daddy not far behind!

Cherub squees!  "We found them!"

Imp huzzahs!  "Yaaaay!  Way to go everyone!"

Normally Matt's post would go here, but seriously, Angel parent based cliffhanger. Skiiiip.

Angel's eyes go wide. "I.." she had no mental preparation for it and just busts out crying on the lady, looking like a mess. "Mom! Dad! I thought you were..."

Maverick looks over. It wasn't lost on him that the parents came charging into this dangerous area and that the dragon had some creepy totem appear over it before dying. He finds a place to hide and hides.

Carla turns to see what's going on, picks up the flag and smiles. She hasn't forgotten about the freaked out elf who was trapped in the phantom zone and begins examining the mirrors and such.

  Matt finds this pleasantly convenient, which is a nice change of pace.  While Carla fields 'have you tried making a save throw?' Elf, Matt gets to checking up on any of the former scenery that may not have fled the temple yet.

  OOC: Clearly Maverick's hiding spot was not moving from his spot, because he doesn't have to.

Daddy joins in the hugging and happy tears.  Cherub cries happy tears as well but refrains from joining the group hug.  The elf appears outside one of the mirrors.

"Thank you so much for defeating that dragon."

Mits and Imp check for loot.

Carla writes on parchment and gives it to the elf. It reads, "I can speak telepathically, but did not wish to alarm you. Follow me." and she heads with the escaped elf and Matt to the others to check on their healing... and to heal Matt, Cherub and herself.

Maverick simply remains hidden. For now.

Angel finally calms some and asks, "W-where have you both been all this time? How come dad's not dead... er... sorry. Those answers can wait. Mom, Dad, these are my friends; a team of heroes who I love as though they were family. Carla, Matt, Mittens and her various split forms... and Maverick is hiding, I guess."
