"A nice trick, cave-beard. Let's see if you stay aloft." With a beat of his wings Viridus then turns his attention towards Zylborin, swooping low to strafe the dragonborn with his claws.
Claw 2 @ Zylborin Attack: 19 Damage: 11 slashing
After making his strafe he then flies to the other side of the staircase and then turns in the air, ready to come back.
Dain and Zylborin have option of opportunity attacks
Initiative Zylborin (concentrating on fly), Finn (z=+30, blink, hexblade curse on Viridus), Dain (RAGE!. z=+35, spell]fly;flying[/spell]) <------------- currently up Viridus (75-damage + opportunity attacks, z-axis = +45)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Finn reappeared ten feet from his vanishing point, already facing Viridus and still smirking. "And flying away to a safe distance? Yeah, that's fitting for you, I'd say."
The pirate flew full speed towards the creature as he raised his hand, and two glowing, ethereal daggers of force flew from his palm to strike the dragon... at which point, Finn disappeared yet again.
(( Blink roll from character sheet: 14))
MOVE: NE, E, then 30 feet straight E ACTION: Cast Eldritch Blast, both bolts targeting Viridus; a roll of either 27 or 28 crits * 1st EB Bolt - Attack: 23, Damage: 12 force (plus 4 on a crit) * 2nd EB Bolt - Attack: 25, Damage: 12 force (plus 3 on a crit)
Dain's axe cleaved into Viridus as he flew towards Zylborin. Finn's first eldritch blast strikes true, blasting off a spot of scales as it landed while the second fizzles against the dragon's hide.
Initiative Zylborin (concentrating on fly), Finn (z=+30, blink on ethereal, hexblade curse on Viridus), Dain (RAGE!. z=+35, flying) <------------- currently up Viridus (99-damage + opportunity attacks, z-axis = +45)

(Excellent)
It looks like Dain can just make it the 60ft to reach the dragon. He supermans through the air towards it, roaring out a battlecry before brining his axe down two more times. He’ll still risk Reckless.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Zylborin's dagger is just short, glinting off Viridus' scales as does the crossbow bolt. As Dain superman's towards the dragon there's a hint of fear in its eyes, made stronger as two slashes of the axe leaving gaping wounds. A spring of blood falls to the ground as the dragon keeps itself aloft.
Initiative Zylborin (concentrating on fly), Finn (z=+30, blink on ethereal, hexblade curse on Viridus), Dain (RAGE!. z=+35, flying) <------------- currently up Viridus (131-damage, z-axis = +45)
Finn watched Viridus' desperate assault from the ethereal plane, and floated towards the dragon, readying his grip on his sword. As soon as he reappeared on the material plane, he raised his blade over his head and glared at the creature.
"You don't get to touch our dwarf."
Slash! Slash! **BLINK!**
(( Finn reappears right next to Viridus, having moved SE, SE from his original spot. His next blink roll is a 13))
ACTION: Attack Viridus with his blade * Oversized Sword Slash #1 - Attack: 13, Damage: 11 Magical Slashing (plus 12 on crit) * Oversized Sword Slash #2 - Attack: 23, Damage: 16 Magical Slashing (plus 10 on crit)
Zyl races around the corner of the pillar to see Dain being focused by the Dragon. He tries to keep the burly Dwarf on his feet, casting Healing Word at 2nd level for 10 points of healing.
He'll then point at Viridius, "Green Dragons are like green vegetables, not wanted at a party!"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Dain reels from the damage, then winks at Zyl when he receives the healing word. He’s hurt bad, but pure aggression and adrenaline keeps him swinging recklessly, for how else does one fight in the air?

[[ For curiosity's sake, recharge roll: 4 ]]
Finn's sword strikes into Viridus sending him to the ground. Weak, the dragon raises his heads in hope of avoiding his fate only for Zylborin's mocking words to crush his spirit. Finally the raging dwarf barbarian is able to make two mighty strikes with his axe, cleaving apart Viridus to never rise again.
After the noise of battle the halls now lie silent with the party standing victorious.
The riches of Viridus are heaped in piles and chests towards the back of the great hall with tunnels going further. Gold and other valuables are can be found in abundance. And amgonst them scrolls with old maps plus newer ones. Pathways through the mountain. Regions unseen by anyone living. A lost land rediscovered. You certainly know the king will pleased to hear of this news.
From me, that's what I've got. You were successfully able to clear the mountain and fight the dragon! It's been a pleasure DMing for you. I enjoyed your characters and ideas. In the future I might also continue with some adventures for what's on the other side of the mountains, in which case I'd be willing to give you guys priority if you're interested.

"Well," Finn said with a shameless grin, his eyes glittering in the golden reflections. "That makes it all worth it!"

(( And a great conclusion to a fun little jaunt! Thanks, VitusW, this was awesome! ))
Dain spends a moment posturing in excitement at killing the dragon. Then he notices the gold and goes, “Now that’s a reward…”
This has been a fun little adventure. Great job DM’ing Vitus. I’d be interested if you’re running something again in the future. Rod, Swoop, it’s been good playing with you and I hope to see you elsewhere on the forums sometime.

I’ll add bardic inspiration to that second attack. Want to guarantee as much early damage as possible. Inspiration: 7
@HFlex, Dain still has an opportunity attack he could take.
The dragon takes a flurry of blows as Finn and Dain carve into it. He snarls with rage, looking bloodied now.
Finn opportunity attack: 22 damage
Dain 1st attack: 18 damage
Dain 2nd attack + bardic inspiration: 17 damage
Subtotal: 57
18 + 57 = 75

The dragon snaps its jaws at the disappearing Finn. "Ghostly tricks? A fitting prediction for you." He then turns his attention to Dain.

Beginning a swoop in the the he comes to the other side, leaning his neck back for a bite.

[[ second roll of con saves is a Nat 20, Fly is still up ]]
Zyl is raked by the claws, open gashes with blood running out, he isn't looking good. But he continues to strum so Dain doesn't fall.
He somehow manages to swipe at Viridius with his dagger: To hit: 16 Damage: 3
Zyl tries to heal his wounds with a 2nd level Healing Word healing: 9
Then takes a shot with his crossbow at Viridius
To hit: 11 Damage: 8
Finally, he runs behind the pillar to his North. N, N, N, E, E, E

Zylborin is in awe of the riches in front of him. Enough to perhaps build his own theatre in the capital.
But the appeal of delving deeper gently prods him. He might actually be cut out for this adventuring stuff.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you VitusW! It's been a fantastic adventure, I've really enjoyed it.
Thank you HFlex and RodTheBard, amazing characters and I had a lot of fun adventuring with you.
I'm keen for more adventures, I'm not sure yet if I'll retire Zylborin, but let me know and I'll answer the call.
"Well," Finn said with a shameless grin, his eyes glittering in the golden reflections. "That makes it all worth it!"
