Velon is relieved to see that Perry has successfully dispelled Hoondarrh's cloud and immediately moves in for close combat with the massive beast. He stows his shield and eyes the spikes on Hoondarrh's back, knowing his plan is risky. The Enlarged paladin, still looking like a gold dragon, flies in close and pictures exactly how he wants to mount the vile red dragon just before teleporting in to grab hold. He grabs a spike with one enlarged, gauntleted hand and wraps one knee under another, hoping he can hold on for a while to do as much damage as possible . As steady as he's going to be, the paladin focuses and holy energy swirls around him as he rapidly raises his hammer, calling upon Bahamut's aid, and strikes down with thunder and radiance upon Hoondarrh's back.
"Hey, it worked Shadow! Now let's finish those ugly things!" Over the link he adds "He's all yours, 'Lelon'!" Shadownsnacks chimes in with "I thought we were going with 'Via'?" Perry fires bolts at the last remaining vrock to free up Protanther to continue his pursuit. All the while he tries to keep his wits sharp to Counterspell anything the ancient red tries to do. Trying to stay ahead of the whole aerial combat with the speed of Shadowsnacks, Perry calls out from within his dragon form "You're not listening, Big Red. I said I Command you to FLEE!" Remembering he is in dragon form, Perry does his best impression of Protanther's voice.
If any EB bolts remain he'll direct them at Hoondarh.
Sustaining the slow spell on the downed blue dragon, Lawrance looks around an assess the situation. Feeling that Hoondarrh is far more of a threat and closer to deal with, he races off to that location at the highest speed his borrowed flight can manage. #I'm heading in to help with Velon and the gang against Hoondarrh! There's an elemental that I can't dispel coming in, but he's still miles away, so if we can deal with the Red first, we can then deal with the gated one!#
OOC - Concentration on Slow as long as needed, and Dash fly the 1500 feet to the other battle. Once within 240', Lawrance will FireBolt and other things. 8ish rounds? Wake me when he gets there. Revised - with HR of Run at 4x, time to intercept is now 4 rounds.

Cratol winces in pain a bit as the claw hits him. This causes his next attack to miss but he focuses on his attacks following the blue down to strike at it again.
Attacks: First attack missed but next three are 20, 23 and a critical 30
Damage: 13, 11 and 14 (1+6 is 7 +7 for the critical is 14) so total of 38 damage
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Mari looks at the blue dragon surrendering with jaw dropped. She looks below and sees Cratol about to attack the dragon again. " Cratol...stop! It has surrendered. Leave it be. We must stop Hoondarrh...Look above us.." She will look down at Poljen and Cratol to see if they are coming with her.
Lia gazes with alarm upon the huge red dragon now being visible and being so close. She moves to the side a little ways to make Hoondarrh divert from his path if he comes after her. She nocks another dragon slaying arrow and feels energy radiating from the bow. " I've got you Hoondarrh....feel this sting..." She releases the arrow and it rockets towards her target.
Poljen sees the blue raising a claw and decides he will trust the creature. Linnathon had actually been willing to listen to them all the way back in Greenest. He turns and for the first time sees the enormous...cloud-elemental-thing off in the distance. It will be coming for them of that he is sure. But the red dragon is closer to the mask, which is ultimately the primary focus of the whole situation. If the exchange can be made, and the Harpers are able to teleport out with the mask, then they will have accomplished the objective. He decides that the red dragon must be his next target. He yells at the blue, "Flee! Now! Or we will show you no mercy!" And then flies off on an intercept course to meet up with the red dragon.
Lia strikes home with one of her special arrows as Perry keeps up his own assault. Velon teleports onto Hoondarrh's back and snags hold, provoking sounds of rage from the great beast.
Protanther casts a spell of some sort, but it doesn't seem to have an effect on Hoondarrh. Neither does the repeated attempt to command him.
Hoondarrh utters a word that resonates with Velon, threatening to shut down his senses.
---
Meanwhile, the group that had been attacking the blue, including Unnirth, turn about and start moving to intercept Hoondarrh.
Perry has a chance to counterspell Hoondarrh's power word stun DC 18. On failure, Velon is stunned, no save. At the end of each turn from here on he gets a DC 23 Con save to snap out of it. Velon will fall into the sea if stunned.
"No, no, no!" calls out Perry as he counterspells Hoondarrh. "That red faced human with the blood of a gold dragon is trying to do the good work of the Platinum God right now. I know, it's all very confusing. Shadow and I still debate... OOH BOY he looks really mad Shadow, go go go!"
Mari races towards Hoondarrh trying to stop him from getting the mask. She puts her all into flying and catapults towards the dragon.
Lia feels goosebumps on her skin and the great foe approaches. The time is running out to stop him. As he nears her to pass on by she taunts him. " You serving as a lap dog for your master? I expected more. What happened to your blue friend? " She laughs and lets her last dragon slaying arrow loose It flies true and strikes with great force in his side. " She flies off at a slight angle so he will have to change course to pursue.
Mari will use her bonus action to dash per rogue archetype.

"Time to get serious, shadow!" "I hereby hex you, sapping your strength, Big Red!"
Perry waves his guardian songblade at Hoondarrh, releasing three more bolts of energy. He gets ready to Counterspell another of Hoondarrh's efforts if needed.

Velon, secure in his position for this brief moment, tries to unleash everything he can onto the ancient red, calling upon the blood of the dragon and Bahamut himself once again to rain down with thunder and radiance. "Bahamut himself is coming for you Hoondarrh. Your time has finally come. Yield and I will ask him to spare you, for today."

Velon and the others continue their assault, striking Hoondarrh with more harsh blows. Several strike home, but the huge dragon is not appearing to be especially harmed at this point.
Protanther wheels in close, reaching out to touch Hoondarrh's left wing. The wing membrane rapidly turns grey and stiffens, turning to stone. But the gold's incredibly long tail sweeps a little too close, and Hoondarrh reaches out and grabs hold. Even as the large red dragon starts to fall out of the sky, he wraps his opponent up in a tight grip, causing both dragons enter a freefall towards the surface of the sea.
Velon has only a few moments to let go before impact if he is going to do so.
Velon manages to disentangle himself from Hoondarrh as the red and gold dragons fall. There is a massive surge of water as they impact the surface, both of them sinking below the waves.
Cratol swoops down to be near the surface stopping about 40 feet above the surface and waits to see if the red surfaces again so that he can attack it again. He looks about to see what else is going on.
Lia cries out in horror as her lover plummets towards the ocean. She begins breathing again when she sees him flying above the water. The raven haired elf flies to him to see if he needs any aid. She says via the telepathis link, " If anyone is hurt badly and needs aid come to me. I will help you.."
Mari looks on in awe as the interwoven dragons fall into the sea. She grins as she sees their leader still above the waves. Looking down the beach she sees the large creature moving much too rapidly towards them. Over the link she says, " Don't relax yet. We are about to have an even bigger problem. Can anyone help with the Zhent's boat? We really need to get this mask and be gone.. " She flies towards the Zhent's vessel as she knows that is where the elemental will head.
As the two massive dragons crash into the sea, Perry exclaims "oh my!" He calls to Velon "go get em and show em who the biggest dragon of all is, boss!"(Bardic Inspiration)
Perry then flies towards the Zhent ship that's headed to retrieve the mask. "Ah, helloooo, Perry Pennington here. Now that we're all such good friends and since none of us want to end of the world and all of that, could we help? This here is Shadowsnacks, greatest friend one could have and fastest creature in the skies. Since clearly these waters are not safe, would one of you like to ride Shadow back to the meeting place please with the, ah, item in question so we can speed this up and not all die? You have to promise to give him back after, though, ok? Oh and there's the biggest elemental anyone has ever seen coming, too, just another reason to rise about it all with your friend and mine, Shadowsnacks."
Persuasion: 27
---------------------------------
Velon lets go in time to avoid the impact but does not want to let Protanther die or Hoondarrh prevail and return from the depths. He delays enough to avoid the massive impact of the two dragons and uses that time to drink a potion of water breathing before following the pair into the water, trying to see if he can help Protanther or at least continue his assault on the massive red.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Velon plunges into the water, relying on the magic of Cyanwrath's armor to overcome his limitations in the water. He stops concentrating on flying and instead casts Haste on himself and begins quickly descending towards the tangled dragon combatants. On the way he recharges his magical reservers in preparation for continuing the fight. Through the link he says to Lia "I'll be back in a minute, I have to try to help him and ensure Hoondarrh doesn't return to the fight." When he can reach Hoondarrh he tries to find a position out of his reach as the dragons twist below the water and strikes as hard as he can, magic aiding his hammer's path through the seawater.

Morgaine seeing so much going on at once, becomes confused briefly. She stops and hovers for a short time, thinking as to the best action to take. She knows the objective here is getting the mask to the Harpers and not into the enemies hands; she decides the best course of action would be to help getting the mask to the meeting place. She then heads towards the vessel where it is being held, helping in any way she can even if it means going after the elemental to slow it down or even the red dragon. When she sees the dragons go into the ocean though, she prays that Velon will be alright, when she sees him surface she is relieved as she continues to the vessel.
Wheeling in the air after seeing Velon break off and drink a potion, Lawrance shrugs as he internally admits his ineffectiveness underwater. Through the link, he calls out #Lets regroup and take on the elemental, unless you can help Velon and Protanther.After that, we HAVE to take those Red Wizards. #

Cratol seeing that most dangerous creature before them right now is the air elemental. He heads that way to try and delay it from reaching its goal.
Attacks I do not think he has advantage this time since no one else is close. So using a Ki point for four attacks 18, 17, 22 and 29 to hit
