FIVE HUNDRED SEVENTY
(I/C)
Seeing the battered and bloodied majesty of Corfard standing up again, the dragon’s mouth agape, eyes fixated on the party (at least the 5 of them), Lannis flipped to his spell book and looked down at the fireball penned there. Taking a deep breath, he sighed, began to cast directly from his book, and broke into song, "Now I've had the time of my life, no I've never felt this way before...Yes I swear, it's the truth,” he caressed the spell and shuddered, “And I owe it all to you! Cause I've had the time of my life, and I owe it all to you!” He gave a pelvic thrust as the words were boiling out of the book, surrounding him in a pink nimbus glow of gathering power.
“Honestly Lannis,” Lyra scowled, pointing at Kovid’s Theystran hammer and calling a Striking spell upon it (+1d6 damage for next 10 minutes while using this weapon’s Kovid). “I would rather die right now than listen to your singing.”
Getting an arrow ready, Brendon glanced at the Cleric as asked, “Lass are you channeling Lannis’ mother?”
Meanwhile, the Magic User was approaching the end of his spell, belting out his song in a rising display of showmanship. “I've been waiting for so long, now I've finally found someone, to stand by me!” He wiped a tear away as the words were practically gone, awash with flaming light. “We saw the writing on the wall, as we felt this magical fantasy. I'll miss you...” he kissed the last word, choking a sob as he did so, “when we get back to town I'll get you back.” Glowing at the dragon, he pushed the spiraling magic into form as the pages turned to ash and finished up with, “Now, once more with feeling. IN VAS FLAM GRAV POR! FOYER BRAWL!"
A streak of burning energy blew out from Lannis’ hands and blasted across the room, exploding right under the newly risen Corfard consuming the entire front half of the dragon in cascading flames! (5d6 Damage: 5,5,4,3,3=20. Save vs spells, Red/Black 12 – Half – Takes 10 Damage!!) Steam rose from its scales as the fire burned away, and Corfard raised an eye ridge at Lannis before scowling at the wizard.
From near the ceiling, Wyn fired (>+8 to hit, +1 bless, Orange 19), the arrow slamming out and hitting a weak section of scales just at the underside of the dragon’s wing (1d6 Damage, Orange 6), making it yelp in pain. “Damn you, elf!!” it roared as Wyn streaked across the shadowy sections of the ceiling, putting some distance between him and Corfard.
“Nah…nah…nahnah…nah!”
Brendon released his own arrow (+6 to hit, +1 bless, Red 14 – missed by 1!!), the shaft punching out and hitting Corfard in the face before bouncing away. “Hey! Over here!” he shouted.
Readying his weapon and seeing the run they had to make, Kovid turned to Abraxas and asked, “You ready Big A?”
The Fighter shot his crossbow (<+5 to hit, +1 bless, Blue 5), the bolt hitting the dragon on the flank and then turned aside. Dropping the crossbow, he hoisted his pack over one shoulder, Scythe out with the other hand, and nodded, "Let'sUnkilleseUndeadpendejo!" The two friends ran, Abraxas keeping pace with Kovid to keep him in the range of the statue he was carrying.
“Let’s try something,” Corfard snarled, one claw shooting off an crackling enchantment that smashed into Lannis (Save vs Spells, Pink 11 – no!) bathing him in a red muting light that stretched off around him. (Silence 15’ radius – normally 12 turns. However with statue, lasts only 1/10th length of time, and reduced effect – half volume) What should have blanketed the magic user in a impenetrable globe of silence, instead was lesser at the Corfard Statue in his pack ate most of the dragon’s effect.
“…nice try…” Lannis said, voice soft sounding, but not at all silenced.
“Damn you, Mage!” Corfard roared, striding forward 4 paces to assault the dwarf and fighter (first attack at 1, bite at the other. 1st attack at: 1-3 Abr, 4-6 Kovid. Green 6 – claw kovid, bite Abraxas). It slashed down hard, its huge claw (>+12 to hit, Black 9) tearing into the dwarf, but Kovid blocking most of the effect with his Theystran Hammer (1d8+4 Damage, 1+4=5, crap roll, take 5 damage). It did reach down though, and effected a huge bite at the Fighter (>+12 to hit, Red 14), making him scream as he was lifted up and chewed on, his armor crushing as the dragon’s teeth tore through, drawing multiple points of blood below (3d8+4 Damage, 1+8+4=13+4=17 Damage! Ouch – Down to 5!). Abraxas had his Scythe up and levered the dragon’s jaws wide, sliding out and free, rolling to the ground and coughing up blood. “Aha hahah!! Corfard laughed.
(Initiative Party Steel 4 vs Corfard Red/Black 3)
Time now is Day 13, 8:32 AM
(OOC)
Water Breathing (Abraxas): Expires 7:48 AM on Day 14!!
Giant Strength (Brendon): 96 Minutes
Haste (Abraxas): 86 Minutes
Invulnerability (Lyra): 76 Minutes
Giant Growth (Kovid): 66 Minutes
Fly (Wyn): 48 Minutes
Silenced 15’ Radius, half power (Lannis): 12 Minutes
Bless: 10 Minutes
Striking (Kovid’s Hammer): 10 Minutes
Slowed (Wyn): 6 Minutes
Striking (Abraxas’ Scythe): 3 Minutes
Continuous Heal (Abraxas): 2 more on the “4’s”
Ok ok ok. Dragon took some serious hits. Lyra has 2 healing potions and is invulnerable – she is the best to take the dragon bites for now. And since he moved up to engage Kovid and Abraxas, you can get there this round Lyra if you want. Kovid and Abraxas each have striking weapons and bless is STILL going on (hooray BX) so you have that going for you. Abraxas has a healing surge in 2 rounds as well. Figure it out! And good luck!!
