(( Nah, he's gotta go! Opportunity Attack roll: 20, Damage: 10 Magical Slashing ))

Dain continues his assualt on C1 and C3, attacking recklessly and only moving to the next kobold if his first target goes down. 

First Attack: 19 to hit for 10 Slashing damage

Second Attack: 17 to hit for 12 Slashing damage

[[ Alas, poor kobold, it was not to be. xD ]]

As the kobold heads to cover with dreams of glory in battle, perhaps finally striking an enemy, proving all those that said he would never be able to do anything effective wrong, redeeming him after years of mocking from those that dismissed his skills with the sling, Finn's greatsword strikes him down mercilessly like a lizard-dog in the dust.

Dain follows up felling two of the incapacitated kobolds as the anticipating of fighting Viridus grows.

Initiative
Zylborin (concentrating on hypnotic pattern), Finn (armor of agathys 15/15, concentrating on hex, bardic inspiration), Dain (RAGE!. bardic inspiration) <------------- currently up
Viridus (charmed by Hypnotic Pattern), KC2 (charmed by hypnotic pattern)

"Last one!" said Finn as he flew towards the remaining charmed opponents. Re-focusing his magic on the dragon, he then took his swing at the last kobold first.

MOVE: To the square right below the last kobold
BONUS: Re-focus Hex onto the dragon, targeting its Strength checks
ACTION: Two attacks, striking the kobold first, then the dragon if the kobold falls
* Oversized Sword Slash #1 - Attack: 26, Damage: 13 Magical Slashing (plus 6 on crit)
* Oversized Sword Slash #2 - Attack: 18, Damage: 13 Magical Slashing (plus 6 on crit)
(If the second attack hits the dragon, add 3 Necrotic damage, plus another 4 damage if the hit was a crit.)

End of turn!

(( If the second attack misses the dragon, add Bardic Inspiration to the roll: 1 ))

Finn's first blow strikes the last kobold down. He then brings his blade against the dragon, cutting through scales. The dazed Viridus suddenly comes to his senses, wisps of poison flowing from his nostrils, as the damage stirs him from his hypnotized state.

EDIT: posted this prior to seeing your Post #547. Finn's attack hit without using bardic inspiration.

map: nearly the same minus Finn's movement adjustment and a dead KC2

Initiative
Zylborin (concentrating on hypnotic pattern), Finn (armor of agathys 15/15, concentrating on hex, bardic inspiration), Dain (RAGE!. bardic inspiration) <------------- currently up
Viridus (16-damage)

Zyl's eyes flash green, a deep gurgling sound comes from within his throat as he sprays a 30ft. Line of acid at Viridius. His Copper Dragon Breath Weapon. Hoping not to hit Dain.

DC 12 Dex save for 5 acid damage (half on success)

He then moves along the chest height wall (left, down, left)

End turn.

Viridus DEX Save vs DC 12: 18

Quickly reacting to what's happening around him, Viridus dodges the brunt of the Zylborin's breath. "Treacherous little scaleskin! Insolent fleshkin! Foolish cavebeard!" he snarls. He then begins to beat him wings, taking to the air, rising up with poisonous mist wafting from his angered maw. "Feel the power of a true dragon!" A breath of poison comes down, catching Finn and Zylborin within it.

After loosing the breath he then glides to one of the pillars near the staircase and latches onto it with his talons. "Feel like fleeing? The stairs are open." he taunts.

Finn and Dain may take Opportunity Attacks

Breath @ Finn and Zylborin
Damage: 40 poison
CON DC 14 for half damage

[[ 
Note I may get some of the math wrong when accounting for the z-axis and things. Truth be told I almost made the mistake of massively increasing the breath's AoE by thinking a 30-foot cone would have a 30-foot radius is breathed from above instead of a 30-foot diameter. So if you see something and are like, "Hey, this looks wrong." Please let me know.

For the z-axis call the main floor z=0. And as a reminder the orange staircase each 5ft is +5 on the z-axis.

[[ green circle is the breath AoE just so you have an idea of what it looks like when considering future placement. ]]

Initiative
Zylborin , Finn (armor of agathys 15/15, concentrating on hex, bardic inspiration), Dain (RAGE!. bardic inspiration) <------------- currently up
Viridus (18-damage + opportunity attacks, z-axis = +35)

Zyl coughs and splutters as the poison breath nearly takes him out.

"I see what you mean! That hurt."

Zyl then rushes towards Dain and calls out to him, "Run to me!" while strumming his cittern and he'll hold his action to cast Fly on Dain (if Dain makes it to him)

[[ With reaching Dain, don't think you need to ready the action. I see E, E, NE, NE, NE, NE as getting to him. Or is there a different path you were planning to take? ]]

(( Finn's CON Save: 16, plus CON Save for Concentration vs DC of half the damage: 16 ))

(( Think I'll add the Bardic Inspiration to the first save: 6 ))

[[ My preference is for the diagonals being 5ft. Just makes things simpler IMO. ]]

 [[ Let's do that then ]]

Zylborin runs to Dain, touches him and casts Fly on him from the Cittern. He will then give another Bardic Inspiration to Finn.

The warlock swung at the fleeing creature, then swore like the sailor he was as it blasted him with its poison, melting away his icy protection. When he finally regained his composure, Finn realized it had disrupted his concentration on his spell, and he looked up to glare at the dragon defiantly.

"You'll not be rid of us that easily, foul creature!"

With that, he quickly cast a new spell, then took to the air to fly right up to Viridus and roar a curse towards him... only to then smirk and immediately wink out of the material realm.

(( Rolled for Finn's blinking in the character sheet beforehand (result: 17) for the sake of the narrative; he'd have flown up to Viridus either way. ))

Opportunity Attack: 25 (+8 if needed) for 20 Slashing & Necrotic Damage

ACTION: Cast Blink
MOVE: Diagonally to reach Viridus
BONUS: Use Hexblade's Curse to curse the dragon (extra damage, easier crits)

Finn is no longer concentrating on Hex, and all temp HP from Armor of Agathys are gone; but now Blink and Hexblade's Curse are both active, no concentration required.

End of turn!

(( @swoop7: Good timing on the Bardic Inspiration, lol! ))

Dain grins as the battle proper against the dragon begins, then grins even wider as he feels his companion’s magic take effect.

”Oh yeah! This is wot I’m talkin’ about!”

He will fly straight at the dragon, ready to cleave into it with his axe. He’s at full HP, so he can afford to swing Recklessly.

First Attack: 29 to hit for 20 Slashing damage

Second Attack: 29 to hit for 10 Slashing damage

Having used his movement, he’ll hover beside the dragon, growling, “I’ll teach ye ta invade dwarven land,” as he puffs up to look more intimidating.
