Cackie darts to the nearest tree and scampers 10ft up it before reaching into his pocket. He fishes out a lump of stale cake and hurls it at the dragon; crumps scatter across its tough hide ineffectually.
Elfa casts her Suggestion at the dragon, commanding it to stay still and silent. As the waves of enchantment magic wash over it, the dragon cocks its head in a confused manner and tries to fight off the attack:
Wisdom saving throw 6
Against all reason and logic, the dragon complies. It settles down on its haunches and even ceases its rumbling throaty roar.
(Pausing combat at this point - do the other characters still wish to take their actions? Please confirm or post an amended action)
Lhia Sabeof changes his mind and casts guidance on whom ever looks to be interacting with the dragon next in non combat
You touch one willing creature. Once before the spell ends, the target can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to one ability check of its choice. It can roll the die before or after making the ability check. The spell then ends.
Stonelynn pulls the bolt back in her crossbow and fires at the dragon's throat. A lump of falling stale cake hits her in the side of her head. The crossbow jerks slightly.
Attack: 8 and Damage: 7
She swears under her breath. This was not the cool and competent first impression she'd hoped to give the group.
As the dragon settles down at Elfa’s Suggestion spell, Stonelynn decides to press the attack and looses an arrow at the resting majestic beast. Her arrow strikes the dragon but shatters against its tough hide.
Thunderfist runs up to attack the dragon but it is still 30ft off the ground and out of his reach.
The dragon complies as best it can with Elfa’s spell, beating its mighty wings to remain as stationary as possible.
Lei-Tana summons her magic missiles and launches them at the dragon, all three acring towards their target and smashing against its scales. The beast roars in pain and is snapped out of the effect of Elfa’s spell. It roars at you “Upstart ants! I was going to just scare you for fun, but now I’m going to take a snack back to my lair!!”
Ignoring Lhia’s criteria for his three spell targets, the three nearest allies are affected; Lei-Tana, Elfa and Stonelynn all gain 5hp and 5 max HP for the next 8hrs.
(Turn 2 – please announce your actions. I have added Diplomat to the initiative order as the big bear might join in)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
From the highest point of the tree, the dragon was in range. Cackie puts a dart in his mouth and spits it at the dragon, hoping his saliva would cause it to now be a poison dart.
(There was confusion over the dragon's altitude, so I have allowed ThunderFist to adjust his turn from post 423)
Both if Thunderfist's javelins strike the side of the dragon with deadly accuracy, even at long range for the thrown weapons. They embed into its side and it roars in agony. It roars at you “Upstart ants! I was going to just scare you for fun, but now I’m going to take a snack back to my lair!!”
(With Elfa's spell broken by the damage caused by the javelins, the dragon now takes its turn)
The dragon flies east, over ThunderFist's head, then unleashes a vicious blast of ice from its mouth in a large cone area (see map for area of effect).
Everyone except Cackie and ThunderFist must make a Constitution saving throw. If you roll 14 or lower you take 32 cold damage. If you roll 15 or higher then you take half this.
(Holding combat until everyone has rolled - posts 427 to 431 have not happened yet)
Diplomat CON save 19
The bear resists the worst of the attack and stays conscious.
The dragon uses the rest of its movement to soar up and away, it is now 80ft up.
(Sorry, shield spells don’t work for saving throws – they increase your AC and block Magic Missiles)
Lhia, Stonelynn, Elfa and Lei-Tana all fall unconscious from the dragon’s icy blast, shards of frost hanging from limbs and faces. Diplomat howls in pain, then in utter anguish when he surveys the scene and tries to thaw Elfa by settling down next to her, whimpering.
The dragon continues its ascent and then soars off, ThunderFist’s javelins still jutting from its flank (yeah, you’ve lost those).
(Combat is over, but we have four party members on 0hp. Please can each of the four affected players roll five d20s for your death saving throws, I will process them in order. 1-9 is a fail, 10-20 is a pass. Three passes means stable, three fails means, erm, bad news.
Cackie and ThunderFist can each attempt to make one Medicine check on each colleague to try to stabilise them; please can you both post saying ‘Lhia (roll), Stonelynn (roll)’, etc.
Good luck team, you just met the big baddy and there is a good chance you will all live to tell the tale!)
The branch that Cackie was sat on gave way, almost as an insult to his weight. Once he picked himself up from the floor and dusted himself down, he turned to see the rest of the team having a nap. A bit miffed he wasn't invited to this long rest, he figured he would get some payback by performing medical experiments on the party as they slept...
Thunderfist looked around at the group and began to panic when he realised the only person left conscious was Cackie. The last thing he wanted was to be alone with this fool.

"I'm going to be dragon your corpse into town when I'm done with you"
Thunderfist went into a frenzied rage, ran up to the dragon and swung his great axe twice at its neck.
Attack 1: Attack: 18 Damage: 10
Attack 2: Attack: 21 Damage: 12
Lei-Tana decides to continue with the missiles...
Stonelynn pulls the bolt back in her crossbow and fires at the dragon's throat. A lump of falling stale cake hits her in the side of her head. The crossbow jerks slightly.
Attack: 8 and Damage: 7

Lhia SaBeouf shouts very loudly “ I THINK PERHAPS WE SHOULD LEAVE…“ and uses his action to dash away to safety…
Stonelynn rolls her eyes at Lhia SaBeouf's back as he dashes into the trees. She takes a deep breath and casts Tasha's Cackling Laugh...
"uh oh... if this doesn't work we can climb my rope to safety... but first..."
Firebolt: Attack: 10 Damage: 8
Attack: 10 Damage: 10
Elfa takes 3 steps forward and uses her Eldritch Blast at the dragon
From the highest point of the tree, the dragon was in range. Cackie puts a dart in his mouth and spits it at the dragon, hoping his saliva would cause it to now be a poison dart.
Attack: 22 Damage: 6
Edit to initial attack: Thunderfist used javelins instead of his axe:
Attack 1: 20 Damage: 7
Attack 2: Attack: 23 Damage: 10
