The stunned beholder continues to reel while its compatriot continues to freeze it.

B1 miraculously fails its save vs. stunned again. B2 hits B1 for 22 hp cold and gives it -2 to saving throws. B1 does make its save vs. the central eye from B1, though.

Sonliin scrambled up the rest of the way on to the platform. Once he got his bearings, he pointed the warhammer at the closer beholder. A black ray streaked out, striking the foe.


Standard Finger of death. Hit 34 Fort for 51 damage.
Move: Climb the rest of the way.
Minor: maintain the wall.

Martha reaches out with her mind and blasts the creature!!

The party then proceeds to beat the remaining beholder to death by various means.

No need to play all that out. Everyone can take a Short Rest.

Zog sits down and examines the bridges between the platforms while he rests.

Short rest, no surge spending needed.

In reply to Zog the Faceless (msg # 11):

Gromley made sure Sonliin is safely up top, and then proceeds to rest.

OOC-short rest. Do we hit milestone?

Yes, this is a Milestone.

Agon, Darratheir, Sonliin, are you taking a short rest?

Darratheir thanks Harald many time for the help he has provided during the fight and he takes a few moments to catch his breath. He also revives the fight in his head and becomes angry at how useless he has been.

OOC: short rest. Not taking healing surge

Happy to be alive, Sonliin took a moment to catch his breath. "While we get things sorted out, an chance your spirit can check the pit to see if there is any thing of value?" he asked Gromley.

Short rest. Not spending a surge

In reply to Sonliin (msg # 15):

"Its not a spirit...its my projected senses. And yes." Gromley said, and proceeded to do so.

The party soon figures out the cadence with which the platforms made of force appear and disappear; they coordinate their advances and travel to the next side, where they open the double doors and proceed inward. Stairs lead down a long way to a cavern, that the party follows to more stairs and then yet another cavern.

This long cavern has a dusty floor and rough but otherwise featureless stone floor. At the far end is an alcove atop a cliff where a gargantuan blue dragon rests. Its belly is swollen with eggs. As it roars, wind picks up in the chamber and the dust devils at the base of the cliff take on darker, more ominous form. Those dust devils are growing into full-fledged tornados.

Roll initiative! If you beat an initiative of 34, you go before the dragon.

Also, you can make a Dungeoneering check for free as part of your initiative roll.

Sonliin looked at the gargantuan blue dragon and shook his head. "No need to bother with any lightning spells." he said as the winds started to increase. "Looks like we will need to send some of them away for a bit so we can pound on them one or two at a time instead of a mob." he added with a sigh

The dragon takes to the air, flying over the party. "Ah, my poor little mortals. Yes, run forward to your death." She winds up and breathes her lightning blast, which dances across Harald, Martha and Agon.

Dragon flies into the air; it is hovering at the ceiling, so its belly is essentially 4 squares up (i.e. 3 squares elevation required to attack it). Standard: Breath Weapon, hits harald and Martha for 42 lightning, misses Agon, who takes 21 lightning.

The Gnome projects his awareness once more. "Now now...no flying! That's just cheating..." Gromley says. He makes a gestures with his hand, as if grabbing something and smashing it down on the ground. Sure enough, an invisible hand seems to grab hold of the massive lizard and force it crashing down to earth.

OOC:

Minor action-Projecting awareness

Standard action-Using living missile. Misses(Most likely), however, living missile still has an effect with a miss. Dragon is slowed(save ends).

Move action-Using as minor action. Using secondary living missle action to force dragon to the ground, smashing it down and making it prone. Spending a bennie if need be to hit vs its reflex. Dragon takes 21 damage, is prone and slowed(Save ends), and is grounded.

16:24, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 21 using 2d6+14 with rolls of 3,4.  Force damage .

16:22, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 37 using 1d20+32 with rolls of 5.  Living Missile.

Zog advances and unleashes an unusual tactic for him: a burst of fire that swells around the dragon's right side as it lies on the ground.

Move, then Ignition + Elemental Escalation, hits Reflex 45 for 72 fire damage and it's vulnerable 3 to my elemental attacks. The burst creates a zone that lasts until the start of my next turn. Any creature that enters the zone or ends its turn there takes 6 fire damage; the dragon takes 9 since it's vulnerable 3 to my elemental attacks.

10:32, Today: Zog the Faceless rolled 72 using 5d10+39 with rolls of 4,9,6,5,9.  Damage!

As the dragon is thrown to the ground, Darratheir sees an opportunity he can't miss and he charges the creature with all his rage. He then readies himself to react to any attempt of escaping.

Move action: Move behind Sonliin
Standard action: Charge with World Serpent Rage - 42 vs AC - Hit for 63 damage or 31 on a miss.
Until the rage ends, I can make a MBA as a free action against any enemy adjacent to me that shifts. In addition, on my turn, I gain a +5 bonus to damage rolls against any enemy that was adjacent to me at the start of my turn.

I used 1 benny

20:45, Today: Darratheir Burnedbear rolled 63 using 7d12+17 with rolls of 4,10,2,10,8,8,4.  Damage roll.

20:44, Today: Darratheir Burnedbear rolled 38 using 1d20+32 with rolls of 6.  Charge w/ World Serpent Rage.

Sonliin freezes the dragon in time while Darratheir hits it hard! As he does, one of the cyclones fully forms and starts flying down a path. It rolls right past the dragon, which seems immune to the cyclone; it threatens to overrun Darratheir, but the barbarian is too quick for it--this time.

Darratheir does hit thanks to CA from the dragon being Stunned.

Cyclone spawns and moves 14 squares from the north; it moves through Darratheir's square and makes an attack, but misses Darratheir.

Martha moves up and shrieks. As she shrieks, a wave of energy appears around her, which bites into the dragon...

Move: Moves. Standard: Repel Legions, close burst 3. The burst creates a zone of destruction and repulsion that lasts until the end of your next turn. Each enemy that starts its turn within the zone automatically takes 15 radiant and necrotic damage. I could push it as well, but I elect not to.

Looking over towards the dragon, Sonlinn scoped out the situation and then a smile crossed his lips as he strode forward. Lightning started to crackle around the Paladin of Ioun as he pointed his warhammer at the dragon. You think you are immune to my powers? Guess again! he said as a bolt of lighting hit, and harmed the dragon. The bolt of energy propelling Sonliin across the other side of the dragon. Another wave of energy flowed over the dragon but the path was disrupted.

Free action: Activate Ring of Freetime (Since we have passed a milestone, I have an additional minor action)
Move:To Behind Darratheir.
Minor 1:Promise of Storm
Minor 2:Divine Challenge (12 radiant if not a target)

17:45, Today: Sonliin rolled 43,32 using d20+32,2d6+28 with rolls of 11,1,3.  Dancing bolts primary at dragon Promise of storm.
 

Looking around him, Darratheir is glad to see his companions close to him. This makes him even more eager to stop this dragon so he uses all the fear he is capable to produce to attack the inner mind of the creature.

Standard action: Frightening Strike - 45 vs AC - Hit for 42 damage and Blue Dragon takes a -5 penalty to attack rolls UEoNT

14:32, Today: Darratheir Burnedbear rolled 45 using 1d20+34 with rolls of 11.  Frightening Strike.

The dragon roars in protest as Sonliin hurts it with lightning. Lightning! The insult! It then screeches with fear as Darratheir hits it.

Meanwhile, another cyclone appears as the first reaches the southern wall.

The cyclone in path 6 reaches the south wall; another cyclone appears to the north and moves. No impact on PCs this round.

The dragon shakes itself and recovers; it roars terribly, shaking up the casters in the party. It then blaps its wings together, which buffets Sonliin and Harald, leaving them reeling and leaving precious few in the party still active!

Dragon takes 15 hp to start its turn from Martha's aura. It fails to recharge its breath weapon. Standard: Frightful Presence hits the Will of Zog, Agon and Martha; all three are stunned until the end of the dragon's next turn.

Gromley manages to lock onto the beast's mind and once again shut down its senses.

OOC-Dragon takes 22 psi damage and is blinded until the end of my next turn. Its current blindness will wear off at the end of this turn after Zog's stunned action, but now the new blindness will continue.

Failed with an 8.

Attacking once again, Darratheir taunts the dragon as he finds a way between its protective scales. "Don't worry dragon. We don't need to keep you blind for too long as you will die soon."

Standard action: Howling Strike vs Blue Dragon - 45 vs AC - Hit for 33 damage

20:32, Today: Darratheir Burnedbear rolled 33 using 2d12+3d6+17 with rolls of 2,1,6,6,1.  Damage roll.
20:32, Today: Darratheir Burnedbear rolled 45 using 1d20+31 with rolls of 14.  Howling Strike vs BD.

While most of the party reels, cyclones keep spawning. A new one tears down past Sonliin, who dodges out of its way, and past Harald; it rams right into Martha, sucking her up and throwing her to the north, where she skids to a stop. The other cyclones keep going; one passes by Darratheir again while another stays in its lane more or less harmlessly.

Meanwhile, the dragon roars as Darratheir hits her. "Overconfident, you are, little one. Take a little of this." It finally stands up. It then claps its wings again; this time, everyone is more or less ready for it except Sonliin, who is reeling again. "I'll even let you hit me one more time, spawn," it hisses at Darratheir.

Agon, Harald and Martha are all stunned and don't act on their turns.

Another cyclone spawns; it moves and attacks Sonliin, Harald and Martha, missing Sonliin and Harald but hitting Martha for 21 hp, knocking her prone and pushing her 8 squares. The cyclone has no effect on the dragon.

Existing cyclones: one moves and attacks Darratheir, missing him. Other moves in its lane.

Zog moves a bit further back from the dragon, raises his hands and a barrage of elements blasts the blue mother. First, he encases it in ice; in particular, the ice gets in the dragon's eyes. He then blasts away with fire and a bit of lightning!!

As the swarm of Zog's attacks descend on the dragon, it breathes lightning, striking its tormentor in revenge as well as glancing Darratheir and Agon.

Dragon is bloodied. Free action when bloodied: Bloodied Breath, breath weapon recharges. It misses Darratheir and Agon, doing 24 lightning to each; hits Zog for 48 hp (38 after Zog's lightning resistance).

AS the lightnings pass across his body, Darratheir shivers a bit before he starts to answers the dragon. "You speak a lot, dragon. But you don't show much yet." With that, Darratheir brandishes the Arrow of Fate, trying to hurt the dragon with its radiant fire.

Sonliin stands there, holding his ears.

Make a saving throw at the end of your turn, Sonliin.

Shaking his head, the effect of the thunder faded from his ears.  With a sigh, the Paladin/Wizard planned on returning the favor.

15:10, Today: Sonliin rolled 18 using 1d20 with rolls of 18.  Save?

While Sonliin clears his head, the cyclones come. One plows right through Darratheir, Harald and Sonliin, sending all three sprawling. Another cyclone runs past Darratheir, but he rolls out of its way. Another moves a bit away from the party for the moment, while the last bounces off the northern wall and begins barreling down at Sonliin.

One cyclone hits Harald for 23, Darratheir for 19 and Sonliin for 27. Each is pushed, Sonliin & Darratheir 8 squares and Harald 7. All three are knocked prone; Harald fails his save to avoid being knocked prone.

Another cyclone misses Darratheir. the other two just move.

Martha "stands up" and then flies to elevation 6 to get above the cyclones as well as a little closer.

While Sonliin summons the dragon to himself, the cyclones continue moving, ignoring his call as the mindless funnels of wind they are. One appears in Martha's lane and plummets right underneath her to come near to Zog and Agon. Another piles past Harald, but the dwarf manages to dodge it; same with Sonliin, who evades his. Only Darratheir is caught this time; he is flung to the north, falling at the top of one of the ruts.

Cyclones all move; only hit on a PC is Darratheir, who takes 30 damage, is pushed as shown on the map and is knocked prone.

Fly, staying at maximum height above the cyclones; hit the dragon using a Benny with Divine Contempt. Dragon takes 25 hp psychic damage and is stunned until end of my next turn.

Not bothering to brush the dirt off of him, Sonliin stood up and focused his attention at the dragon as the warhammer smashed down on it's toes. Having its undivided attention, a wave of lightning blasted the dragon that started to glow with divine energy as it passed over its hide.

Standard:Overwhelming Fervor hit AC 46 for 55 and is subject to my Divine sanction.

The party moves up to the blue brood mother's dais and finds treasure and dragon eggs. They also find a simple amulet. Agon discerns that this will summon the wearer and anyone touching them somewhere. You all have a strong sense of where that is.

One more time, Bahamut appears to you. You are all washed in power. "Prepare for the battle of your lives," he says simply.

You suddenly feel renewed, as if the life-energy of a thousand angels were poured into you. Then, everyone grabs onto Agon and you are teleported to the domain of Tiamat herself.

You are standing on a dais looking down at a complex three-part platform. You see Tiamat in all her five-headed horror. Ten baleful eyes gaze at you, the hate within them almost palpable. Surrounding her on the rim of the platform are eight shimmering energy fields.  The shimmering energy fields are translucent, but they seem quite solid.

“You’ve thwarted my plans,” says the blue head.

“You returned Bahamut to life,” says the red.

“You broke my army at its moment of triumph,” says the black.

“You’ve slain my exarchs,” says the green.

“And now, you’ve invaded my innermost lair,” says the white.

“Cherish this moment,” say all five in unison, “because this moment is your high-water mark. Now, your pain, your fall . . . will fuel my rise, my rebirth!”

And she utters a word of power. With screams, Martha and Harald vanish. The remaining party members are left to act.

You all have had an Extended Rest. All the NPC'd players have been removed, leaving you all!

You cannot use Arcana to get Tiamat's stat block, sorry to say.


Everyone roll initiative! If your Initiative beats 40, you get to go before Tiamat goes again.

"Harald, NOOOO! You still owe me that keg of ale!" Sonliin shouted in shock, before seeing Martha also wink out of existence. "Hey Martha, wherever you are, I do not think your deal with Bahamut is valid if you are not there to participate in defeating her!" the air genasi hollered as he got ready for the onslaught of dragon breath he was sure the group was going to quickly receive.

Minor action-using healing power on Sonliin. He gets a surge worth of healing and a surge worth of temp hp.

Sonliin is freed from the tyranny of Tiamat's spell thanks to Gromley! Meanwhile, though, Tiamat glares down at Zog. "I will be the last thing you see, mortal," she hisses as her black head spews acid at Zog, blinding him!

Tiamat takes most of the damage from Zog--well done!

On her turn #3, she hits Zog with a close blast for 26 acid damage and Zog is blinded (save ends).

Tiamat snarls and wordlessly turns three of her five heads on Zog, biting him and frezing him. His own elemental power is on display as he ignores lightning dancing over him and feels less of the cold bite. She takes a bite of radiant power from Sonliin as she does.

Once again, Darratheir waits for the return of Tiamat and readies himself to inflict fear on the Dragon Queen.

Crit for 97 (68+29)

When blasted by Zog, Tiamat roars and breathes everywhere with her heads, catching Agon, Darratheir and Zog in hits wake. She then breathes fire over Darratheir and Sonliin. She follows with her white head and tears viciously into Sonliin; Sonliin freezes in place as icy bites connect with him and the arcane paladin drops to the ground, incapacitated. She then turns her black head toward Gromley and Zog, breathing acid that gets in Gromley's eyes for a moment.

On Zog's turn, Tiamat is bloodied. She gets a free action for Bloodied Breath, hits Agon, Zog and Darratheir for 28 fire/acid/poison, plus ongoing 25 acid/fire/poison and slowed (save ends both). Darratheir uses a reaction (per post 129 below) to cancel the ongoing and turns it back on Tiamat, who only takes 10 per turn due to her resistances.

Tiamat Turn #5: Takes 10 ongoing from Darratheir's Skin of Agonies. Use Red Dragon Breath Weapon on Darratheir and Sonliin. Crits Sonliin for 72 fire; hits Darratheir for 42 fire. Fails saving throw.
Tiamat Turn #1: Takes 10 ongoing from Darratheir's Skin of Agonies. White Dragon head bite on Sonliin, hits him for 43 cold damage. Sonliin is bloodied. Action Point: White Dragon head bite on Sonliin, hits for 62 cold damage. Sonliin is down. Makes her save vs. ongoing.
Tiamat Turn #2: Vitriolic Spray on Gromley and Zog. Hits Gromley for 19 acid and Gromley is blinded (save ends, hit reflex 56); misses Zog for 9 acid damage.

As the dragon queen went to bite Sonliin, a magical aura flared up, blocking the attack.

ooc:Been a while since I used it but looks like I need it now as that will bring my AC to 48.

Shield

You throw up your hand, and a shield of arcane energy springs into existence, protecting you against imminent attacks.

Encounter        Arcane
Immediate Interrupt      Personal

Trigger: You are hit by an attack.

Effect: You gain a +4 power bonus to AC and Reflex until the end of your next turn.

Revised turn, based on Sonliin's interrupt:

Tiamat Turn #5: Use Red Dragon Breath Weapon on Darratheir and Sonliin. Crits Sonliin for 72 fire; hits Darratheir for 42 fire.
Tiamat Turn #1: White Dragon head bite on Sonliin, hits him for 43 cold damage. Sonliin is bloodied. Action Point: White Dragon head bite on Sonliin, misses due to Shield.
Tiamat Turn #2: Vitriolic Spray on Gromley and Zog. Hits Gromley for 19 acid and Gromley is blinded (save ends, hit reflex 56); misses Zog for 9 acid damage. Tiamat takes 12 radiant from Sonliin's mark.

In reply to EpicOne (msg # 119):

Gromley gestures, and deflects most of the acid away from his face with a sudden energy bubble around him.

OOC:
Intellect Fortress-Encounter, Immediate Interrupt. Trigger-you are hit.
Effect-Choose defense-until end of next turn, gets power bonus equal to cha
bonus to that defense. Gives +8(total of +10 with my extra defense from my toapz defender). If based on reflex, the attack will miss, and do half damage and no blindness. If based on fort I can instead use my orb to use my will +4 for 1 psi point(and the extra defense for +6) and the attack will also miss. The difference is I won't have to use intellect fortress.


Gromley then tries to take control of one of the heads and have it bite another head.

OOC:

18:02, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 42 using 1d20+34 with rolls of 8.  Sudden control on red head. Most likely a miss.

Then he attempts to save Sonliin with a healing word.

OOC:
Majestic Word-Close burst 5. Minor action. One target or user. Effect-
Target can spend healing surge +4d6+7 healing, and slides 2 spaces.
18:04, Today: Gromley Underhill rolled 17 using 4d6+7 with rolls of 2,3,3,2.  Extra healing.

Note-Gromley has major concealment on him due to his magic item hitting a milestone. However, it does not work against area effect.

Spend a surge. get back 59 hp

Tiamat glares with a couple heads at Gromley while regarding Sonliin with her blue head. "You are resilient, mortal; I will grant you that." She then bites repeatedly at Sonliin, whose own scales defy the goddess. She hisses.

Intellect Fortress was required, as the defense targeted was Reflex.

Sonliin said a few arcane words as he sought to warp time around the Dragon Queen as he shifted to protect the others.

(If successful)
As time shifted, he smiled. "Your time of evil is nearing an end, and you will suffer the consequences of your actions!" Sonliin said as a wave of thunder washed over Tiamat before he tried to bite her.

OOC:
Standard:Steal time Hit 48 Will
Move:As minor Thunderwave (Quickened Spellcasting)
Minor:Divine Aegis (+2 to everyone's defenses within 2 of me.)

Enraged by the pain produced by Tiamat's attacks, Darratheir channels all his rage in a devastating blow aimed at the Dragon Queen. Unable to quench his thirst for blood, he continues with several more attacks. "You will stop to laugh sooner than you expect it, Tiamat!" he shouts, foam all around his mouth.

Standard action: Rage Strike w/ World Serpent Rage - Crit - Hit for 233 damage
Free action: MBA from Rampage - 51 vs AC - Hit for 28 damage
Using the daily from my Solitaire ring. I gain one AP

In reply to EpicOne (msg # 119):

As Tiamat fires her breath on Darratheir, the Dragonborn simply smirks. "You will taste your own medicine, Dragon Queen." His taunt finished, a protective skin forms around Darratheir and all the fire, acid and poison are deflected back to Tiamat.

Sorry that my reaction took so long. Here's the result, as per our PM.

Immediate reaction triggered when Tiamat hits me with her attack that deals ongoing damage (Skin of Agonies daily): The ongoing damage ends and Tiamat takes them instead with a -2 penalty to saving throws against that ongoing damage.

Sonliin, a 48 Will misses Tiamat. Do you want to spend a Benny on Steal Time?

Darratheir, an AC 50 just misses. Do you want to spend a Benny on that roll?

14:02, Today: Darratheir Burnedbear rolled 49 using 1d20+35 with rolls of 14.  Benny reroll - Hurricane of Blades #2.

Tiamat roars with all five heads after Darratheir's blow. However, after a quick glare in Darratheir's direction, she turns her ire on Zog. With two flaming bites, the sorcerer is engulfed with fire and falls!!

Sonliin's attacks both miss. Darratheir still does a sweet 311 hp damage.

Tiamat Turn 4:
Tiamat's Chromatic Breath fails to recharge. She takes 12 radiant from Sonliin as she attacks Zog. She hits him with her Red Dragon bite for 42 fire and he loses one healing surge. Action Point: she hits Zog again for 61 hp and draining 3 healing surges; Zog is unconscious and dying.

Tiamat dramatically pauses and reaches out with her claw. "So shall you all die," she roars as she jams her claw into Zog's unconscious body. She pulls her bloody claw out and roars. She then turns her white head at Darratheir, who defiantly bats her blow away, before turning her black head at Sonliin and Darratheir, spraying acid at their faces.

There is a mysterious whistling in the room....

Tiamat attacks Zog, taking 12 radiant from Sonliin, with a coup de grace with her claw. Hits for 52 hp, which is enough to put Zog over negative bloodied. Zog is now dead.

"You will pay for that, you five headed gecko!" The Gnome snarls without his usual dapper persona. However, rather than attack, he creates a healing aura in the area, trying to fix those around him ready to put the killing blow on the Queen of Dragons.

Skald's Aura-Minor action. Effect-Aura 5 last until end of the encounter.
User or any ally in Aura can using minor action to spend a healing surge

Agon dug deep in his reserves and unleashed a single spell that could turn the tide of battle against a whole army. He just hoped that it would work on a god!

Tiamat does not even give Agon the satisfaction of a grunt as his magical hands crush her. She glares balefully at the party...is there a hint of resignation in her eyes? Difficult to say...
