Iridh raises his eyebrows at the passing Hin, following the black creature and quickly getting a hold on what's going on, sneaks with the rest of 'em. "This is a bad idea" he muses, but comes anyway. 8

Mythe huffs a little at the idea of disobeying the academy’s staff, afraid to do anything that may get her in trouble. Despite this she follows the others as they depart, unwilling to be left alone in the tower.
The four of you set off from the tower in the direction of the observatory building, doing your best to be as stealthily as possible. It's not normally a difficult journey from the tower grounds to the courtyard of the academy, but strangely enough tonight it is. Maybe it's the desire to be quiet while sneaking around the academy grounds, but your senses feel heightened, and some of you are having difficulties keeping quiet, while moving from hiding spot to hiding spot. You make it across the courtyard, now you just need to make it pass the grand library. From there it's a clean shot through a grouping of trees to the observatory building. As you begin to wrap around the corner of the library building, Sierra, you spot a long, thin tail whipping rapidly around. As you continue to peer around the building you all spot what appears to be a miniature version of what you saw flying through the sky? Miniature of course, in comparison to the larger one. This creature is roughly 6 feet long from head to hind legs, and it's tail is another 8 feet or so long. It pays no mind to you though, as it appears to have a halfling lady cornered against the library building. While none of you have her as a professor, you all know her to be Mardove Silverwood. She is the transmutation professor, and wife of Sid Silverwood, the professor of necromancy. She hears as you approach around the corner and turns to look at you some words escape her mouth "oh thank the divine" until she realizes you're only students "oh no, run!" She shouts, but this extremely slender and long draconic figure has already taken notice of you and it begins running in your direction.
Everyone - roll initiative for me on top of anything else you'd like to do!
(OOC:Vera will mystically join you again once she's back at the table. petessius will also once they officially join the table. petessius' character would in fact know Mardove, because she is their professor, but they're not with us officially yet, until they post)

"So much for being stealthy," Hin mutters. As the group approaches the observatory, he spots the professor. A second later, he sees the relatively large (but miniature) creature rushing headfirst at them. He only allows himself a quiet "Oh no," as he prepares for combat, holding a dagger in one hand and his [Tooltip Not Found] in the other. Calo is quivering in their cage.

From above, you hear the call of a great horned owl. You can see the creature swoop out an open window from the library, circle the beast below, and return to land on the shoulder of a short owlin dressed in academy robes. The young wizard nearly falls over under the weight of his familiar, but he manages to stay upright and maintains a dignified expression, which just looks adorable on his fluffy face. “I say, Professor, do be careful!” Quilliam calls down. He pitches himself (and the owl) out the window and they both glide clumsily to the ground beside Professor Silverwood. From a bulging components pouch, he pulls out two strips of cured leather and holds one out to Mardove. “Safety first, eh?” he says. (OOC): I imagine it would be common practice amongst transmutation students to cast ‘Mage Armor’ on themselves before fiddling with the laws of nature.

Combat Round 1
Iridh you strike out at the Serpent-like draconic creature with a toll the dead, but it manages to shake it off.
The Serpent-like draconic creature charges at you, Iridh, seemingly able to tell it was you attempting to attack it via a spell and attempts to bite you. Attack: 19 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
Because the bottom of the round has no other hostile creatures, everyone is welcomed to make their next post! Quilliam, Hin, Mythe, and Sierra for the end of round 1 and Vera and Iridh for the top of round 2!
Spoiler contains updated combat stats (feel free to peak!)
23 Vera (27/27) 21 Iridh (26/26) 18 Serpent-like draconic creature (0/??) 10 Quilliam (26/26) 7 Hin (22/22) 1 Mythe (26/26) 1 Sierra (28/28)
Quilliam slaps the leather piece into his owl familiar's talons, traces a quick sigil over it, and says “fortificarnum!”. He then points at Iridh and heaves his familiar into the air. The bird closes the distance to Iridh, barely touches him on the shoulder, and wheels away into the air. The leather piece is consumed by a white flame and Iridh is now surrounded by a faint white light as Mage Armor shrouds him.
Quilliam will then stand with his second piece of leather offered to Prof. Silverwood. "Mage Armor, Professor?"

Sierra is stunned by the sudden appearance of the creature. Her first moves are delayed before Iridh is attacked.
Taking advantage of the fact that her Spider Climb is still active, she walks up the side of the library, but not before tossing her spider familiar at the creature.
The spider weaves a small circle of string on the creature's body, which Sierra uses as a target for her next spell.
(Familiar uses the help action)
An orb of frost and snow appears in Sierra's hand, which she heaves at the creature.
(Ray of Frost with Advantage from Help? Attack: 23 Damage: 2. If hit, creature's speed is reduced by 10 ft until start of next turn)
And for good measure, Sierra waves her hand and puts up a Sanctuary on Professor Silverwood.

"Why, hello!" Hin waves at the newcomer, dagger in hand. He pockets the dagger and spellbook, after quickly reading an entry in his spellbook, and steps in front of those standing next to him. "Eat fire, serpent!" He claps his paws together, rubbing them to make friction. With a performative flick of his wrists, a cone of flames shoots out from his outstretched fingertips, flying at the draconic creature.

Quilliam provides mage armor to Iridh via the touch of his familiar.
Sierra climbs up the side of the library, before throwing a ray of frost at the Serpent-like draconic creature dealing 1cold damage and slowing its movement by 10 feet temporarily. She then provides sanctuary to Professor Silverwood.
Hin launches flames at the Serpent-like draconic creature. DEX save (14) vs DC 14. (OOC: Go ahead and fix the tag on your damage and I'll update the post with damage dealt.)
