Lia eyes the huge red moving closer. She watches Velon and Perry harassing Hoondarrh and smiles grimly. Willing her broom on ahead faster she watches the dragon draw closer. Once she knows she can reach him with her bow she whispers in Elvish, " Swift death to you who have wronged me. " The bow pulsates in her hands as if alive. Pulling the string back to her ear she pauses briefly and releases it with a twang. She rapidly nocks 3 more arrow and ahoot them as well. She smiles as she sees them hit home with great impact. Lia is flying this whole time chasing after her friends also trying to divert the monstrous drake.
Mari: Mari looks at Poljen incredously as he races off towards the blue dragon. She hesitates while wondering if the blue dragon will land to engage him or just ignore him and fly over the barbarian. " What are you doing Poljen? Let it come to us. We have help here. " She sheathes her blades and unslings her bow. She moves after Poljen but not at a run. She tries to position herself to help Poljen or the beach meeting area depending on where the blue dragon goes.
OOC: First 3 rounds are shot with her arrows of dragon slaying. DC 17 constitution to take half damage from the dragon slaying arrows.
Cratol stands at the meeting place watching as the Red Dragon attacks the castle and then is moving towards the boats. As the large Blue dragon came on the scene he decided to do something. moving towards the water he uses his staff to attempt to call forth lightning to attack the large red Dragon heading towards the boats so that we could secure the mask.
Velon and Perry streak towards Hoondarrh, letting magical bolts lead the way. Lia fires an arrow from well behind them, in spite of the great distance, it still manages to strike home. Hoondarrh's response to the new threats is rather simple, he casts a spell, and dark clouds coalesce. Within moments, a moving cloud perhaps ten times the size of the dragon itself surrounds Hoondarrh, concealing his exact position from any kind of distance
Protanther veers off for a moment, casting a complex spell of his own. As it completes, there suddenly appear to be three identical massive gold dragons in the sky, illusions wrapping around Velon and Perry to make them look just like the elder dragon. The pair can feel a protective warmth settle over them as well.
---
Near the meeting point, people are gathering near the edge of the ice dome to watch and prepare for the three dragons headed in their direction. The copper dragon swoops in low to drop off his wounded passenger, then turns to reengage the blue. Lawrance casts his spell, and the storm dragon collides with the nearly invisible wall. He falls towards the ground, but manages to catch himself and begin climbing again. The pair come together again, the blue quickly drawing his opponent away from the wizard who had managed to interfere once already.
Back on the ground, the wounded silver has reverted to his natural form as Elia and the archons tend to him. The majority of the membrane of his right wing is simply missing, melted away. It is clear he won't be flying again soon, even with healing magics on hand.
The two silvers speak for a minute, and the Elia calls out, "Could the remaining members of the Blaze step this way?" Once those coming have assembled, Elia states, "I wish to perform a quick ritual, drawing on Zeirvis' magics since he is unable to apply it himself at the moment. You would be able to fly as we do, and help our copper brother in the sky."
It takes a minute, but soon enough it is done, and those who accepted find translucent wings sprouting from their backs. Zeirvis looks even weaker now, but he nods tiredly to you, "Please, help him."
Velon, Perry, and Shadowsnacks have been granted some of Protanther's strength along with his appearance. Their Strength increases to 25, they gain 50 temporary HP, and they are immune to fire damage. This will last so long as Protanther can maintain concentration, up to ten minutes. The illusion on Perry/Shadowsnacks will default to the former if they somehow end up separated.
Poljen nods as Elia makes her request. Once the feels the ethereal wings appear on his back, he activates the mental link. {Velon, they have given us magic to fly. We are going after the blue. If things get dire for you, let us know so we can come help you.} With that he begins moving towards the blue dragon, his feet leaving the ground.
Feeling the energies of the dragon magic join with his own and grant him the powerful flight ability, Lawrance's eyes are wide as he says "This will be a great help!", running out of the dome and into the sky in pursuit. He flies as fast as he can, eager to be close enough to do his own magics and help the embattled copper dragon. Pushing the limits of the spell, he gets within range for his cantrip and fires bolts of fiery energy at the massive opponent.
OOC - Init is 3 from Discord roll. Flying Dash at 160 until he reaches 240' range, then Firebolts (2 probably) until he gets within 120' at which point he will cast Slow (DC WIS 17) on the Blue and any other enemy if there are any in that area. Shield spell as a reaction if needed

Lia curses as she loses sight of the great drake. She urges her broom on as her companions race on ahead of her. Worry troubles her as she knows that she can do nothing at all to help them until she gets much closer.
Mari smiles as she feels her new wings sprouting. She slings her shortbow and draws her blades. Soaring upward she is nervous for a bit not used to flight. After a couple of minutes she has more confidence in her control. The new wings flap vigorously as she races towards their blue for along with her companions. She will approach from the opposite side than Poljen so they can hit from both sides. When she gets in close her blades begin flashing.
Mari initiative w/ adv: 22
Rolling with advantage since she will be flanking the dragon with Poljen. Sneak attack was added in due to this. She gets a +8 added to these dice rolls. If she wasn't able to strike with advantage then ignore the second roll on each attack and the sneak attack rolls. The off hand blade was the blade that hit in rd 1 and 3. It is the blade still coated with yuan-ti poison.
Cratol seeing the red dragon obscure himself in clouds decides to take on the blue dragon with his friends. Accepting the gift of wings he is soon flying onwards towards the blue with his staff in his hands. He figures if he hits it with Poljen then together they may cause some serious damage to the dragon.
Cratol Initiative : 11
Attacks Rolled a 20, 19 a 1 and a 2 so the second attacks have missed First two are a 30 and 29 to hit with the first one being a critical. So first strike does 19 damage with the second doing 13 damage so 32 damage all together.

Perry watches Velon transform into a gold dragon and loudly proclaims over the link "I knew it!" "I knew he was a dragon all along, just like that Silas guy! See, you owe me that new purple silk scarf, Shadowsnacks!"
"Come on Perry, it's an illusion, can't you see, see? That is unless you too are a gold dragon, because that's what I'm seeing when I look back at you. That'll cost you a large sack of apples and carrots when this is over, Perry, but first let's kill this absurdly large dragon, got it? You gotta keep your head in the game, Perry. Problem is we can't see, see."
"Oh, right." At that Perry waves his scimitar and calls upon his powers to dispel the dark cloud hiding the Blaze's target, but the dragon's magic is too powerful. Perry briefly pouts with a 'harrumph' before he and Shadow speed off to get ahead of the dragon once more.
Velon chooses to express himself differently as several curse words are heard over the mental link. All he and his dragon illusion can do is turn and fly ahead to ensure they keep up with Hoondarh and stay in the fight. Velon does think to pull out and drink another potion, however, as the Enlarge(/Reduce) spell doubles his size and makes him feel a rush of strength.
Morgaine seeing so many thigns going on and just as many through the mental link, she somewhat in awe of it all. Seeing creasures she has only heard about from the stories her father and the sailing crew would tell. Once she comes out of the surprise and sees the dragons go at it and then seeing Poljen taking care of the carpet that was in flames, she readies her bow with dragon slaying arrow..hoping to get a good shot at the red that semes to be causing all the trouble.even to the castle that she has caled home for some time now.

Poljen, Cratol, Lawrance, Mari, and Morgaine close in on the fight between the Blue and Silver dragons. Morgaine and Lawrance leading with arrows and bolts of fire respectively. It is not long before Cratol, Mari, and Poljen close to a close enough distance to be in the thick of things. The big blue responds by shifting his flight by enough to line both his draconic opponent and Poljen up with a lance of white lightning.
---
Closer to the beach, Velon, Perry, and Lia move closer to the cloud containing Hoondarrh, hoping for an opening. Protanther moves up and casts another spell, a massive cone of frost streaks out, buffeting the mobile cloud and provoking a roar from somewhere within.
The response is rather swift, a trio of flying creatures streak up and out, attacking Protanther with claws and talons. The newcomers are ugly wizened creatures, much like a Giant Vulture, but with a longer body and humanoid arms in addition to the tattered wings.
Poljen needs to make a DC 19 Dex save vs 69 lightning damage. Lawrance's and Mari's actions are noted, holding them for when the rest catch up.
Lia grips her broom tightly in frustration. The battle will be finished before she can contribute. She grits her teeth as she vows again to let noone die. She begins beseeching Sune. " Sune, my beautiful goddess....We need your help in this epic battle. Tiamat is trying to take this dragon mask and use it to take over the world. Please aid us. My lady, please send one of your powerful celestial servants to carry me through the skies and help us fight these evil creatures. " She closes her eyes for a moment as she focuses on speaking to Sune.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Velon sees the three new creatures appear from Hoondarrh's cloud and thinks at least it's something he can help with. He speeds towards Prothanter and calls out "we'll take care of them, stay on him!" The enlarged flying paladin, shrouded in the image of a large gold dragon, wields his hammer and strikes at the new flying creatures twice.

Perry sees Protanther under assault as well and he and Shadowsnacks speed to the rescue. "Have no fear big dragon guy! Wait, or is that you Velon? There are too many dragons in this damned fight, Shadowsnacks!""Hate to say it Perry, but I think that's what we signed up for, see."
As they approach Perry waves his sword yet again and calls out with a booming voice "FLEE you ugly...thing!" Command at one of the creatures Velon is not engaged with.
With one target left unchallenged of the new trio of enemies, Perry unleashes bolts of energy to try to get it off of Protanther.
Poljen cries out in pain as the lightning surges through him, but he realizes it could have been much, much worse. As he approached the large blue serpent he calls it out. "I am Poljen, son of Nels! Last of the Snow Leopards! Your brother Lennithon fell to the blades of the Silver Blaze, as you will! You deserve to know the names of your slayers!" He slams into the beast, axe swinging madly.
The demon targeted by Perry's command shrugs it off and returns to clawing at Protanther.
Velon and Perry strike hard at another of the pair, it falters in the air, enough that the gold dragon manages to seize it in his back talons, visibly breaking the creature's back before letting it fall. the creature dissolves into nothingness.
Lia prays, but the link remains silent. The comforting presence always there when she prays is there, but there is no response.
---
Poljen, Cratol, and Mari close in on the large blue dragon, striking at him from several sides while Morgaine and Lawrence fire at its flank. It responds by biting at Poljen, but it misses.
Unnirth takes the opportunity to duck around behind the blue, all of a sudden a large ball of ice forms on the blue dragon's tail, dragging on him and slowing his movements.
---
Castle Skyreach continues its slow descent, there is a rumbling crunching noise as it makes contact with the beach. Large volumes of sand get shoves around, and several more chunks of rock break off and float upwards into the sky.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Poljen growls in anger but then grins as the ice appears on its tail. He snarls as he once more does his best to sink his axe deep into its flesh. "Your best chance is not only to flee, but to turn on your fellow dragon! Attack the red and we will let you live! But until then, feel our steel!"
Cratol stays with the large blue dragon attacking it as he can. He tries to keep it between Poljen, Mari and himself to keep them all getting good hits together to bring it down.
Attacks with advantage: 23, 30(critical), 18, and 22
Damage: 13, 13 + 7 for the critical so 20, 11 and 12.
He is spending a Ki point to get all four attacks.
Mari grins as the blades bite home. She maneuvers to keep the same angle of attack. The blonde lashes out rapidly with both blades.
Lia grimaces worriedly as the huge threat draws closer and her cry went unanswered. Knowing this is another test for her she switches arrow quickly for a normal one. She aims at a vrock that has already been hit. Holding her breath, she releases the missile With a twang of string the arrow rockets toward the creature. She then flies downward towards the Zhent ship. She is careful to position herself between Hoondarrh and the vessel.
Perry gets frustrated that so much of his magic has been ineffective and from within the large gold dragon image he can be heard yelling with an unnaturally loud voice "I said shoo, shoo, FLEE, ICommandyou, you, ugly thing you!" He then turns his attention to Hoondarrh, who is still hidden within his cloud. "We gotta stop this big red meanie, Shadowsnacks. I'll try again." He tries once again to dispel the cloud that Hoondarrh has cast. He also mentally prepares himself to try to counter the next large spell the ancient red might try.
Meanwhile Velon continues to try to eliminate the vrock's attacking Protanther as quickly as possible, lashing out with his hammer as he darts back and forth through the sky.
Attacks 1 & 2 w/ GWM: 22 , 21
Bless 1 & 2: 3 , 4
Damage 1: 28 plus 3 plus5 fire
Damage 2:28 plus2 plus2 fire
(damage includes GWM, Pro-Panther buff, Enlarge buff, fire crystal)
Lia and Velon together manage to dispatch another of the Vrocks. The third and final one resists Perry's command yet again, but gets badly wounded by Protanther in turn.
Perry tries to dispel the cloud covering Hoondarrh's advance towards the Zhent ships. This time there is a ripple, and the clouds rapidly fade away, revealing the massive red dragon once more. Hoondarrh looks around at the three identical gold dragons that are suddenly around him, apparently trying to determine which is real.
A trio of thick ballista bolts streak by, missing Hoondarrh. They were apparently fired from the ships, though there are no visible weapons of that sort on board.
---
Unnirth and the other members of the blaze assisting him continue to pound on the Blue from all sides. The now sluggishly moving dragon is having a difficult time fending off attacks, though he does manage to claw Cratol in passing. When Lawrence's Slow effect hits home, the blue dives to the ground, landing heavily and holding up a paw in an apparent attempt to cede the fight.
---
A few miles off, the wind picks up in a furious howl. The collaborative summoning spell being cast by the remaining red wizards completes, and a massive form begins to emerge. It is only vaguely humanoid, its body composed of constantly shifting mists occasionally lit up by bursts of internal lightning. You have encountered Air Elementals before, but this one is even larger than Hoondarrh. What passes for a head turns in your direction, and it begins gliding in your direction at a rapid pace.
Lia eyes the huge red moving closer. She watches Velon and Perry harassing Hoondarrh and smiles grimly. Willing her broom on ahead faster she watches the dragon draw closer. Once she knows she can reach him with her bow she whispers in Elvish, " Swift death to you who have wronged me. " The bow pulsates in her hands as if alive. Pulling the string back to her ear she pauses briefly and releases it with a twang. She rapidly nocks 3 more arrow and ahoot them as well. She smiles as she sees them hit home with great impact. Lia is flying this whole time chasing after her friends also trying to divert the monstrous drake.
Mari: Mari looks at Poljen incredously as he races off towards the blue dragon. She hesitates while wondering if the blue dragon will land to engage him or just ignore him and fly over the barbarian. " What are you doing Poljen? Let it come to us. We have help here. " She sheathes her blades and unslings her bow. She moves after Poljen but not at a run. She tries to position herself to help Poljen or the beach meeting area depending on where the blue dragon goes.

Cratol stands at the meeting place watching as the Red Dragon attacks the castle and then is moving towards the boats. As the large Blue dragon came on the scene he decided to do something. moving towards the water he uses his staff to attempt to call forth lightning to attack the large red Dragon heading towards the boats so that we could secure the mask.
Velon and Perry streak towards Hoondarrh, letting magical bolts lead the way. Lia fires an arrow from well behind them, in spite of the great distance, it still manages to strike home. Hoondarrh's response to the new threats is rather simple, he casts a spell, and dark clouds coalesce. Within moments, a moving cloud perhaps ten times the size of the dragon itself surrounds Hoondarrh, concealing his exact position from any kind of distance
Protanther veers off for a moment, casting a complex spell of his own. As it completes, there suddenly appear to be three identical massive gold dragons in the sky, illusions wrapping around Velon and Perry to make them look just like the elder dragon. The pair can feel a protective warmth settle over them as well.

Near the meeting point, people are gathering near the edge of the ice dome to watch and prepare for the three dragons headed in their direction. The copper dragon swoops in low to drop off his wounded passenger, then turns to reengage the blue. Lawrance casts his spell, and the storm dragon collides with the nearly invisible wall. He falls towards the ground, but manages to catch himself and begin climbing again. The pair come together again, the blue quickly drawing his opponent away from the wizard who had managed to interfere once already.
Back on the ground, the wounded silver has reverted to his natural form as Elia and the archons tend to him. The majority of the membrane of his right wing is simply missing, melted away. It is clear he won't be flying again soon, even with healing magics on hand.
The two silvers speak for a minute, and the Elia calls out, "Could the remaining members of the Blaze step this way?" Once those coming have assembled, Elia states, "I wish to perform a quick ritual, drawing on Zeirvis' magics since he is unable to apply it himself at the moment. You would be able to fly as we do, and help our copper brother in the sky."
It takes a minute, but soon enough it is done, and those who accepted find translucent wings sprouting from their backs. Zeirvis looks even weaker now, but he nods tiredly to you, "Please, help him."
Velon, Perry, and Shadowsnacks have been granted some of Protanther's strength along with his appearance. Their Strength increases to 25, they gain 50 temporary HP, and they are immune to fire damage. This will last so long as Protanther can maintain concentration, up to ten minutes. The illusion on Perry/Shadowsnacks will default to the former if they somehow end up separated.
Poljen nods as Elia makes her request. Once the feels the ethereal wings appear on his back, he activates the mental link. {Velon, they have given us magic to fly. We are going after the blue. If things get dire for you, let us know so we can come help you.} With that he begins moving towards the blue dragon, his feet leaving the ground.
Init w/Adv 17 22
Feeling the energies of the dragon magic join with his own and grant him the powerful flight ability, Lawrance's eyes are wide as he says "This will be a great help!", running out of the dome and into the sky in pursuit. He flies as fast as he can, eager to be close enough to do his own magics and help the embattled copper dragon. Pushing the limits of the spell, he gets within range for his cantrip and fires bolts of fiery energy at the massive opponent.
OOC - Init is 3 from Discord roll. Flying Dash at 160 until he reaches 240' range, then Firebolts (2 probably) until he gets within 120' at which point he will cast Slow (DC WIS 17) on the Blue and any other enemy if there are any in that area. Shield spell as a reaction if needed

Cratol seeing the red dragon obscure himself in clouds decides to take on the blue dragon with his friends.

Problem is we can't see, see."
"Oh, right." At that Perry waves his scimitar and calls upon his powers to dispel the dark cloud hiding the Blaze's target, but the dragon's magic is too powerful. Perry briefly pouts with a 'harrumph' before he and Shadow speed off to get ahead of the dragon once more.
Velon chooses to express himself differently as several curse words are heard over the mental link. All he and his dragon illusion can do is turn and fly ahead to ensure they keep up with Hoondarh and stay in the fight.

Perry sees Protanther under assault as well and he and Shadowsnacks speed to the rescue. "Have no fear big dragon guy! Wait, or is that you Velon? There are too many dragons in this damned fight, Shadowsnacks!" "Hate to say it Perry, but I think that's what we signed up for, see."
As they approach Perry waves his sword yet again and calls out with a booming voice "FLEE you ugly...thing!" Command at one of the creatures Velon is not engaged with.
With one target left unchallenged of the new trio of enemies, Perry unleashes bolts of energy to try to get it off of Protanther.

Poljen cries out in pain as the lightning surges through him, but he realizes it could have been much, much worse. As he approached the large blue serpent he calls it out. "I am Poljen, son of Nels! Last of the Snow Leopards! Your brother Lennithon fell to the blades of the Silver Blaze, as you will! You deserve to know the names of your slayers!" He slams into the beast, axe swinging madly.

The demon targeted by Perry's command shrugs it off and returns to clawing at Protanther.
Velon and Perry strike hard at another of the pair, it falters in the air, enough that the gold dragon manages to seize it in his back talons, visibly breaking the creature's back before letting it fall. the creature dissolves into nothingness.
Lia prays, but the link remains silent. The comforting presence always there when she prays is there, but there is no response.

Poljen, Cratol, and Mari close in on the large blue dragon, striking at him from several sides while Morgaine and Lawrence fire at its flank. It responds by biting at Poljen, but it misses.
Unnirth takes the opportunity to duck around behind the blue, all of a sudden a large ball of ice forms on the blue dragon's tail, dragging on him and slowing his movements.
---
Castle Skyreach continues its slow descent, there is a rumbling crunching noise as it makes contact with the beach. Large volumes of sand get shoves around, and several more chunks of rock break off and float upwards into the sky.
Poljen growls in anger but then grins as the ice appears on its tail. He snarls as he once more does his best to sink his axe deep into its flesh. "Your best chance is not only to flee, but to turn on your fellow dragon! Attack the red and we will let you live! But until then, feel our steel!"

Cratol stays with the large blue dragon attacking it as he can. He tries to keep it between Poljen, Mari and himself to keep them all getting good hits together to bring it down.

He is spending a Ki point to get all four attacks.
Mari grins as the blades bite home. She maneuvers to keep the same angle of attack. The blonde lashes out rapidly with both blades.
Lia grimaces worriedly as the huge threat draws closer and her cry went unanswered. Knowing this is another test for her she switches arrow quickly for a normal one. She aims at a vrock that has already been hit. Holding her breath, she releases the missile With a twang of string the arrow rockets toward the creature. She then flies downward towards the Zhent ship. She is careful to position herself between Hoondarrh and the vessel.
Mari should still have rolls left to use.

Perry gets frustrated that so much of his magic has been ineffective and from within the large gold dragon image he can be heard yelling with an unnaturally loud voice "I said shoo, shoo, FLEE, I Command you, you, ugly thing you!" He then turns his attention to Hoondarrh, who is still hidden within his cloud. "We gotta stop this big red meanie, Shadowsnacks. I'll try again." He tries once again to dispel the cloud that Hoondarrh has cast. He also mentally prepares himself to try to counter the next large spell the ancient red might try.

Lia and Velon together manage to dispatch another of the Vrocks. The third and final one resists Perry's command yet again, but gets badly wounded by Protanther in turn.
Perry tries to dispel the cloud covering Hoondarrh's advance towards the Zhent ships. This time there is a ripple, and the clouds rapidly fade away, revealing the massive red dragon once more. Hoondarrh looks around at the three identical gold dragons that are suddenly around him, apparently trying to determine which is real.
A trio of thick ballista bolts streak by, missing Hoondarrh. They were apparently fired from the ships, though there are no visible weapons of that sort on board.
---
Unnirth and the other members of the blaze assisting him continue to pound on the Blue from all sides. The now sluggishly moving dragon is having a difficult time fending off attacks, though he does manage to claw Cratol in passing. When Lawrence's Slow effect hits home, the blue dives to the ground, landing heavily and holding up a paw in an apparent attempt to cede the fight.
---
A few miles off, the wind picks up in a furious howl. The collaborative summoning spell being cast by the remaining red wizards completes, and a massive form begins to emerge. It is only vaguely humanoid, its body composed of constantly shifting mists occasionally lit up by bursts of internal lightning. You have encountered Air Elementals before, but this one is even larger than Hoondarrh. What passes for a head turns in your direction, and it begins gliding in your direction at a rapid pace.
Cratol takes 19 damage
