Re: IV - The Forest of Lothenar
The eldritch bolts called forth by Jayanti strike the dragon in the flank, the points of impact glowing for a lingering moment. An instant later, Killian’s fireball explodes as it nears the great serpent’s neck, the blast lighting up the dim forest with a searing orange flash.

The dragon takes 7 damage from the spell.
The dragon manages to veer to the left, avoiding much of the explosion, but not all of it, smoke rising from several charred scales on its back.
Even as the flames dissipate, Patch calls upon the power of Amun Tor. The priest’s prayer is answered, as suddenly, all of the adventurers hear the deep growl rising from the dragon’s throat abruptly halt, the noise forcefully muted.

The dragon is silenced for 12 turns.
The enraged creature focuses its gaze on the ancient oak. Inhaling deeply, it breathes out a torrent of lightning at the stump, which blasts the weathered wood into blackened splinters.

The dragon’s breath is worth 49 points of damage. 10 of that is absorbed by the now destroyed stump, leaving a balance of 39.
Anyone behind the former stump (Jayanti and Patch) will take that amount of damage, unless they make a successful Save vs. Dragon Breath. A successful save would result in taking half damage (20 points).

The party wins initiative again, and may act.
