Crimson Sands of Time

"I'll follow you two from behind!" Ethan yells out as he dashes behind Randy and Oli, but not before he turns to Deathwillow. "We'll be back. I promise."

Not being able to say a word for the first time since his brother had disappeared a few years back, Randy also dashes into the room but still keeps a keen eye for the dragon that nearly ravaged him a few months back.

 So, is her cage unlocked?

(Not yet. Unless if Oli or Randy have found any keys he won't be able to open it, let alone until the coast is clear)

<from earlier: "Each of the kobold cult fanatics has a key that unlocks the cages and shackles">

Sam, Chad, Tetrevess, Oli, Alistar, Randy, and Ethan are up.

 Tetrevess and Alistar are up.

tetrevess fails both saves, but uses his reaction to cast absorb elements, barely preventing death from the acid breath.   (he then can’t aoo the dragon).  he rises and flies after the dragon,  opening the curtain if he can, to launch a BA star at the dragon, and follows  up with a radiant cone of cold into the dragon’s face( avoiding hitting chad King Kong) 

“don’t let him get away with this!” tetrevess yells to the others. “Someone save Sam” he adds.

43 radiant damage from the cone,  (DC22 con for half)

22 to hit, 25 radiant damage from the star if that hits.

Curtains nit in the way, Chad (who is occupying the space in front of the smaller cavern as a giant ape) opened it. 

The dracolich is hhut with a star (does crown need a concentearion check?) and a blast of icy wind.

Con save Dac22 19

The undead blqxk dragon responds with a whip of his tail directed at the scribes wizard 15 for 15 bludgeoning (LA)

Alistar us up.

the stars dont need concentration checks.   since his reaction resets, Tetrevess can cast shield and block the tail slap.  But he’s in trouble if we cant finish this dragon! 

<Alistar is up, but I'm just going to post dracolich actions now.>

Throstelgrael roars at the wizards' insults and quickly grabs something from among the objects on the stone shrine at the back of the alcove, a book bound un black d4wgin scales. With his inherent claw, he grabs something on a cord: a bejeweled obsidian amulet which glows with the same green light that points the hollow eyes of the dracolich, just before he vanishes in a whisp of sulfur. 

<There are additional articles on the shrine>

Death save 5 

The water elemental moves towards the dracolich and attack.

Alistar will stay back and begin speaking in druidic as he casts hunter's mark on the dracolich. He will then pull out his sling and just slowly move to the right.

OOC:
Water Elemental Dex Save: 17

Attack 1: 22 Damage: 16

Attack 2: 15 Damage: 19

Attack 3: 25 Damage: 17

If Oli saw the dracolich disappear, he says "The dracolich just disappeared but I don't know if he is invisible or left the lair." Oli fires a bolt from his hand crossbow to find out if he is invisible or left the lair. After seeing the affect of his shot, he takes cover behind the pillar or stalagmite to his right.
Attack at DA in log: 17 & 13

If he didn't see the dracolich disappear, he moves behind the pillar or stalagmite to his right for cover and readies an attack for when he sees the dracolich. He then says, "I don't have a healing potion to give Sam to help him recover." And to himself he mutters quietly, "And somehow I ended up on the front line again."

 I assume he didn't see it initially, with a giant ape in the way, but assuming cooperation, (and it is assumed) Oli fires his shot and it hits a wall of natural stone, made smooth by the generous application of molecular acid.

<you know, we really should increase the number of healing potions the party has access to.  I can add them to loot drops, but they are craftable as far as I'm concerned. 

I'm fine with official rules. A herbalism kit or alchemist kit, 25 gp for components and whatnot and 1 day gathering supplies, mixing, etc.

It's no different than the cleric just making a spell scroll of cure wounds which any cleric can make with 25 gp, a 1st level spell slot and 1 day. Also, we have a cleric, and the party has a floating city created by ancient wizards as a base of operations. It should be very do-able.

While he's inspecting the wall, he cannot help but notice the intricate armor of jade and black dragon scales displayed upon the shrine, nor does he fail to notice the three black roses laying upon the altar.

<fyi, re: armor. Everything fits (medium, small, large creature, it works). Also, this is scale mail.  Background here, Sam actually had black dragon scale armor that he made, himself, but gave it up for story reasons in Mulmaster, so... it's back, with an upgrade.  Though @Legion4 may decline the use of the armor, it is available to the party>

 And we’re up 

Sam awakes in the water and stands up “did we get the dam dragon” he shouts as he does he moves his arm up and cast cure wounds second level 18 hp rolled in game log as he pounders around to find the group sees the stand with the roses and the armour looks to T “doesn’t that look familiar Trev, this looks a bit more ornate that the one I had in mulamaster” he looks at the others in his group
