The group all scamper out of the hole, leaving the strange rubbery creature to stare after them as they exit. With the power of the Silence over them, you all manage to make it out of the tunnel without much fuss of any kind. All of you start to get a clear view of what is around you. A massive room covered in rubble and from the looks of it, it should have come down a long time ago. It looks like if it was not for this ice that coats so much of the floor and walls, this place would have collapsed in on itself long ago. As you come out of the range of the bubble, you begin to hear what Ky informed you of.
"and I want their heads on a platter. If it was my human servants, so be it. I will hunt them and eat them as well!"You hear the powerful and reptilian voice still booming above you. It pauses for a moment, and then continues, as if it is talking to something or someone. "I don't care! Don't think you can be replaced by her either! I am worth more to her then you however. Which do you think she would choose?"another pause. "You truly are a fool!"
You all start to make it over to the door, trying to be careful as you may. Ky's Magic is helping you still, but you can tell it is starting to fade, loosing its power to hold in the sound and light. As you make it to the door, Gelin heads to the thick wood beam that is 5 inches thick of solid oak. Resting his hand against it to start to lift, he slips on some ice and the wood starts to fall. As it does so, it nearly hits Ky and she jumps out of the way, but due to the ice, she slides about 5 feet before her heels catch a rock and she falls squarely on her butt.
The wood then slams to the icy floor, and it echoes throughout the room below. Quickly, you all move to grab the wood and drop it across the crossbeams to lock the door in place. The 3 stronger men life and strain, and manage to lock it in place with a loud thumping noise.
As all of this is taking place, you hear the voice say, "Did you let one of the Guards into my sanctum? What was that noise?"
You all hear as the footfalls above you head away from you, and towards the stairs. Scrambling to find any place you can hide (there is a decent amount of rubble), you all do your best to find a reasonable place to hide.
Carodoc quickly scampers over to behind the stairs. Getting away from Ky, his stealth is still 31 and nearly vanishes.
Gelin manages to get down low, and hide next to Ky. With her butt still sore, she cant seem to get down low enough to hide as effectively as Gelin is.
Ennis gets behind some other ruins, some 15 feet away and is decently covered.
Fling and Cyrnair try to hide, but they are so large, they are sticking out more then they would like.
As the sounds get closer to the stairs, you watch as a scaled and shimmering pure white face slithers its way down the stairwell to check over its domain. The face is nearly 3 feet long, and its largest teeth look to be as long as one of Carodoc's daggers. Frozen steam billows out of its nostrils as it looks down throughout the room. 18
Looking around the room (rolled an 18 if it freaks out), the reptilian eye passes over the room. It nearly passes over everyone without seeming to notice, until it passes over where Flint is hiding. "It appears we have a rat in our midst. Perhaps I will have my hunt after all. Tell me... what are you and why have you come... No matter. Perhaps you will give me sport this day!"
As it roars this, a pair of leather boots walk down the stairwell beside him. The tall human male scans over the room. 22
(22 in case it freaks out) The humans eyes pass over the grounds and locks eyes with Cyrnair, Ky, and Flint.
A familiar voice rings out to match a face that some of you know well. "They may not be here for you at all... I was wondering when they would show up... though it appears they have found a ranger to replace me." Baryeras says while nocking and arrow to his bow. "Tell me Cyrnair. How is everyone doing. I hope I do not have to kill all of my old traveling compatriots today." He draws the fletching to his cheek, and releases it toward Cyrnair.
“Baryeras!” Says Cyrnair “ I am happy to see you.. listen you have to come with... AGH!” The arrow flies and the paladin tries to cover himself with his shield.
C´mon dice roller!! Not a 1 on this one!!! You see Dpad? XDD.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ky curses quitely, hoping the Moon Goddess will guide her shots. Drawing 2 arrows, she fires them in rapid succession, but first she drops PwaT, and casts Hunters Mark on the Dragon.
Attack: 19 Damage: 9
Attack: 18 Damage: 12
OOC: Please let the other ranger have a magic bow!!!! lol... or if he does.... I hope he misses when he shoots us lol.
OOC: Cyrniar, the arrow has not technically released yet. Initiative has already started BEFORE i said he fired. It was flavor text really.
Ky focuses her Hunters magics on the Dragon, and it helps her lock in on the weaker spots of the dragon. She releases 2 arrows in rapid succession. The first arrow slams into its snout. The arrow pierces through the nostril and it recoils in pain. The second arrow JUST hits, scraping along its neck and removing bits of scales. As she does so, it ROARS Loudly. "TO THE KEEP! ENEMIES IN THE KEEP!"
OOC: Carodoc is up. (Rangers DPR is nuts... I don't care what people say... the Ranger class is amazing. UA ranger is even better. So the group knows, I am using a hybrid of the UA and the PH ranger for Ky)
Caradoc listens from the shadows under the stairs. Oh that bastard... I *knew* he was here! runs through his mind as he hears the whiny murmurings of his old traveling companion. Then... the great white head appears and the halfling swallows in shock. Well... maybe it will want to eat the bigger folks first? he wonders as it turns to look at Flint. The halfling's arm cocks back almost on its own and releases the jade dagger towards the dragon's eye socket!
Jade Dagger Attack: 27 Damage: 25
"I am not a rat! I am Caradoc Langham and you, you are on the last days of your miserable life!" he cries as he races across to duck behind some rubble under Baryeras' section of the stairs. Return, he thinks, and the dagger reappears in its sheath.

The green dagger hits the white dragon right below his eye. A spray of blood hits the air and instantly freezes into mist. The dragon roars in pain and comes down the stairs a bit more and heads 10 feet southward.
Frost builds around its jaws as it roars. At is does so a blast of ice flows out from its mouth hitting Ky, Flint, Cyrnair and Gelin. 35 DC 15 CON saving throw for 1/2 damage.
Gelin stays himself as the icy blast washes over him, barely remaining on his feet. He begins to make his way around the room towards the dragon (avoiding the ice in the middle of the floor), before turning his attention to Baryeras. You're under that foul creature's thrall Now you'd fight your former allies I'm hoping this will be a stall, While we fight actual bad guys
Casting Hold Person on Baryeras DC15 WIS save
Then he turns his attention to Caradoc,
Your aim seems to be quite true, You strike out from the dark And though my lips are turning blue I know you'll hit your mark.
As the icy winds blast outward, Ky's form turns an icy white for a moment. The damage of the cold is lessened and the energy travels into her hand (next attack does 1d6 cold damage as well.. despite the spell, I will allow you to do ANY attack and increase the damage. This applies to Ennis as well if he has/takes the spell.
As Gelins song flows out towards the ranger on the stairs, he stares at Gelin darkly. 8
With an 8, Baryaras is locked in place, unable to move. He spends his turn fighting against the spell, as it is his turn next. 10
Ennis stares in shock as the mist of freezing cold engulfs his allies. For the briefest moment he seems stunned into inaction himself, but then Master Baulder's training kicks in and he focuses through the fear on the task at hand.
Wand raised, he utters arcane words in Primordial and causes four orbs of flame to appear around him briefly before they each shoot off at the dragon as arcing rays of scorching power.
3 of the beams hit into the Dragons form and you watch and flames lick up around the creature. It roars in pain once again, and you can see that all of you are having an effect on its form. It growls angrily. "Do something Human!"
As its Legendary action, it is going to use a claw attack on the back wall of the castle, tearing a massive chunk from the wall of the north end. It looks as if it is preparing to get itself out of this tight quarters.
As you look around, the building itself looks as if that blow was pushing the level of how well it is held together. From outside, you can hear the call to arms bellowing from outside.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Flint grimaces as the wave of cold envelops him. The goliath holds up his shield trying to find some manner of reprieve but finds he is briefly pushed to a knee by the sudden onslaught of the frozen breath. As the breath relents, the cleric stands with a primal bellowing scream and removes his amulet from around his neck and presents it above his head - toward the sky exposed by the crumbling roof. A beam of what appears to be moonlight bathes Flint, a portion of which he redirects toward Ky'Lera and Gelin.
Action: Channel Divinity, Preserve Life - 25HP pool.... 10for both Flint and Glein, 5for Ky'Lera
"It seems he's trying to run,"Flint calls to the group as he moves back closer to the grate they came through (just to the right of it on the map), hoping to stay more spread out if another breath of cold comes. Coming to a halt, he once again petitions to his goddess for her healing energies, which is felt by all those who were damaged by the breath of the dragon. Looking back to the barred door, "Anyone have any climbing spikes (pitons) to slow them down any further?!"
Bonus Action: Mass Healing Word10, for Flint, Geling, Cyrnair and Ky'Lera (10)
Just in case you need to know where the +9 is coming from... +4 normal Wis bonus, +5 from Disciple of Life class feature being 2 + spell level (3)
Cyrnair concentrates on his inner energies and feels the warm radiant energy fill his body, he screams as the golden light fills his eyes and two golden wings sprouts from his back. He flights up between Baryeras and the dragon and readies himself for the battle.
”You will regret the day that you decided to terrorize this land, and to have allied with the foul Visarai. What is your name creature? For I, Cyrnair Thonrar want to know your name so I can speak it to MyLord”
(And that´s it... cool but ineffective at least he has opportunity attacks to them in case they move. Paladin and aasimar needs a feat to change all this things to bonus actions... XD )
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ky chuckles at Ennis's comment. "Paladin's usually do. I have yet to meet one that I have gotten along with."
She says all this while chattering from the cold. Even with the absorption of the Spell she used to resist it, "Man that hurt! Thanks Flint!" She says as his healing rays bring her back to full.
Only having fought 1 dragon before, Ky is not fully aware that dragons resist their own damage. Either way, the massive dragon in the room is the biggest threat in her opinion, and with it trying to run, she will drop everything she has at it. "Thank goodness I was able to hold onto my spell after that breath attack. I have only got enough magic for 1 more 2nd circle magic"
Ky moves across the ice and gets 15 feet closer to the Dragon. At this range, she is within 10 feet of the Ice dragon. It uses its single Legendary action to lash out at Ky, who just shot it again in the neck. Attack: 13 Damage: 39
Carodoc is up. 21 against your stealth to see where you are. Carodoc narrowly hides from the Dragons Senses.
With that attack, the Dragons head snakes forward and clamps down across Ky's Abdomen. A multitude of teeth sink in and tear. The armor absorbs some of it, but Ky is looking rough with multiple puncture wounds, and frost growing around the wounds.
The group all scamper out of the hole, leaving the strange rubbery creature to stare after them as they exit.

If it was flavor then just say it is flavor too that he uses the shield to parry it, with the arrow stick on his shield :)
I love rangers, even the beastmaster! In fact I was wondering if apply to this with a ranger or with the paladin hehe.

The frozen mist of icy water that freezes instantly in sub zero temperatures crystallizes around you as it releases its breath all over you.
Gelin, Flint, and Ky all take 38 points of cold damage. Cyrnairs radiant heat helps him resist some of the damage, taking 16 points of cold damage.
5 to recharge on 5-6.
Gelin is up.
You're under that foul creature's thrall
Now you'd fight your former allies
I'm hoping this will be a stall,
While we fight actual bad guys
You strike out from the dark
And though my lips are turning blue
I know you'll hit your mark.

OOC: holy cow! I always forget how much damage they can do. That was a big roll as well!
Ky uses her reaction to cast Absorb Elements, taking less damage.
Concentration check: 15
As the icy winds blast outward, Ky's form turns an icy white for a moment.

Gelins magics keep Bareyaras locked in place, unable to move. He is considered paralyzed.
(OOC: Gelin for MVP lol)
Ennis is up next, then Cyrnair and Flint at the same time.
(Carodoc is right about CD Flint. You could do CD and healing word, but not CD and cure wounds)
Ennis stares in shock as the mist of freezing cold engulfs his allies. For the briefest moment he seems stunned into inaction himself, but then Master Baulder's training kicks in and he focuses through the fear on the task at hand.
Wand raised, he utters arcane words in Primordial and causes four orbs of flame to appear around him briefly before they each shoot off at the dragon as arcing rays of scorching power.
Once that is done, he ducks back down behind cover to think about his next move.
Edit: In case it acts up again, the rolls are (17, 8) (27,7) which is a crit, (8,7) and (22,5). The ray that crit deals an additional 6 damage.
3 of the beams hit into the Dragons form and you watch and flames lick up around the creature. It roars in pain once again, and you can see that all of you are having an effect on its form. It growls angrily. "Do something Human!"

With the divine power of the moon washing over Flint, it spreads to those Flint directs, and seals up much of the wounds that were just inflicted.
In the distance, you hear more voices rallying and coming closer.
(OOC: Clerics are Awesome! Lol )
Cyrnair is up next.
Cyrnair concentrates on his inner energies and feels the warm radiant energy fill his body, he screams as the golden light fills his eyes and two golden wings sprouts from his back. He flights up between Baryeras and the dragon and readies himself for the battle.
”You will regret the day that you decided to terrorize this land, and to have allied with the foul Visarai. What is your name creature? For I, Cyrnair Thonrar want to know your name so I can speak it to MyLord”
(And that´s it... cool but ineffective at least he has opportunity attacks to them in case they move. Paladin and aasimar needs a feat to change all this things to bonus actions... XD )

Ennis nearly breaks his glasses as he facepalms.
"Of COURSE the paladin has to pontificate..." he mumbles quietly to himself.
Ky chuckles at Ennis's comment. "Paladin's usually do. I have yet to meet one that I have gotten along with."
She says all this while chattering from the cold. Even with the absorption of the Spell she used to resist it, "Man that hurt! Thanks Flint!" She says as his healing rays bring her back to full.
Only having fought 1 dragon before, Ky is not fully aware that dragons resist their own damage. Either way, the massive dragon in the room is the biggest threat in her opinion, and with it trying to run, she will drop everything she has at it.

Carodoc is up. 21 against your stealth to see where you are. Carodoc narrowly hides from the Dragons Senses.
With that attack, the Dragons head snakes forward and clamps down across Ky's Abdomen. A multitude of teeth sink in and tear. The armor absorbs some of it, but Ky is looking rough with multiple puncture wounds, and frost growing around the wounds.
