Jove wakes up and rubs his eyes. Once he opens them and sees the wyvern, he jumps up and runs to the nearest piece of cover if there is any. "We're dead! Nopenopenopenopenope..." he screams as he runs. As he stands, he casts dancing lights to form a person running in the opposite direction, then after ~15 feet dispersing it into four random directions and flight patterns, trying his best to disorient it before we know the wyvern's intentions.
Whether it is making a beeline for Jove's lights, or gunning for the middle of the campsite, the wyvern is descending rapidly, almost in the faces of the party.
Round 1 Order: Wyvern Players <=====
Placement: The wyvern is 40 feet away in the air, descending rapidly. Jove is 30 feet further away, cowering.
OOC: I have everyone's readied actions (and Jove's action with dancing lights), but just in case you want to change those knowing the wyvern's exact distance, let me know.
(OOC - my action remains unchanged, and hes in my range as soon as he's 150ft way! Longbow for the range! Also am i the only one seeing 'character sheet errors like it won't load up at all and has a beholder?))
OOC: They did maintenance on the site yesterday, perhaps it made something go funky. Try in a different browser? If that doesn't work I'd contact support.
Jove's keeps the lights for the first round; no change. He does want to jump behind a rock or something, prone. Perhaps this way the ranged attacks are less effective.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: The initiative roll occurred as the wyvern was near that range, as it was well on its way to attacking when Harmony spotted it. It has only closed the distance because it took its turn first, which is why these attacks are occurring now.
I will take Harmony's hypnotic pattern as a reaction, though, since she was awake.

Wyvern WIS Save:11 Wyvern WIS Save: 16Damage: 7

Arrows pepper the wyvern's flank as Aisha and Olive let loose, while Jove finds cover behind a nearby crag and Abraxas and Harmony weave their spells. The wyvern does not slow, resisting the effects of the wizards magic, but rather, plummets suddenly, in a daze from the bard's own effect. The weaving colors that appear surrounding the wyvern cause it to fall to the ground, slamming hard into the landscape and kicking up a plume of rock dust.
The creature gets up nursing a clearly injured wing, shaking its head clear of its confusion, then unleashes a roar through Harmony's arrow that strikes it in its chest. It takes to the air again, landing between Harmony and Aisha and grows practically feral, raking a claw across Harmony's leg. Its long tail lashes out at Aisha, only grazing the tabaxi, yet still sending her to her knees as the sudden bite of powerful poison courses through her.
Placement: The wyvern is engaged in melee combat with Harmony (5 ft) and Aisha (10 ft). Olive is 30 feet away. Abraxas and Jove are 40 feet away, behind half cover.
Tracking: The wyvern is wounded.
Aisha is badly wounded. Harmony is lightly wounded.
Olive has fired 2 arrows. Aisha has fired 2 arrows. Harmony has fired 1 arrow.
(OOC - err, wait, how did it land that close to both me and harmony? as far as I can tell Harmony didn't move, while I should have been able to move 30-45 feet)
OOC: Barty, would Jove know anything about Wyvern's vision capabilities? He wants to to call out to someone to throw up a darkness spell or similar. I, as a player, don't know if it would be effective, but maybe Jove would. Maybe a History check? 11
If Jove knows they are NOT susceptable to darkness: Jove yells to Harmony and Aisha "Disengage and get out! I can disorient it and hold it there for a moment". He then holds his action to let Harmony and Aisha disengage. Once they are outside of the spell's range, (20 ft radius sphere centered on the wyvern), he lets loose hunger of Hadar, obviously straining at the power coursing through his body.
If Jove knows they are susceptable to darkness or does not know anything: He will call out to Abraxas or Harmony. "Throw up some darkness somehow! I can see through it and guide you away!" He casts shadow blade] and runs towards the wyvern, telling Harmony and Aisha "Get out now! It won't be able to swipe at you if it can't see". He casts eldritch blast as he runs up to about 20 feet way, hitting the wyvern on its other side with two beams As he casts these spells, the runes on his arms burst with a light and is quickly overshadowed by darkness that wreath about his body.
EB1: 21 dmg 7 force EB2: 18 dmg 5 force
Once he gets within 20 feet, he will throw the shadow blade at its other side, hopefully it will not be able to figure out where it is being hit from.
IF AISHA WAS BADLY WOUNDED and THE WYVERN IS NEXT TO HER, AND NOT HARMONY
Aisha would draw on the forces of nature around her, an exotic looking feminine fey nymph seems to appear out of nowhere directly in front of the Ranger, kissing Aisha on her cheek, as healing flowed through her for (6). Then, Aisha would Disengage to get away from the beast safely. While Tsavi stealthily made her way behind the wyvern, waiting for an opportunity, but staying out of immediate melee range.
IF AISHA WAS NOT HURT AND IS NOT NEAR THE WYVERN
Aisha will let out a sharp whistle, and Tsavi will come barreling from behind the Wyvern, pouncing at the dragonoid from 30 feet away at the wyvern's back Attack: 23 Damage: 7(DC 12 STR or be knocked prone) And if struck, would follow up with a harsh bite into the wyvern's tail base,trying to sink it's 'Felines' deep. Attack: 8 Damage: 9.
And the moment this happened, Aisha's bow would let loose another arrow with a loud 'thwang' Attack: 14 Damage: 9
Aisha then would draw on the forces of nature around her, an exotic looking feminine fey nymph seems to appear out of nowhere directly in front of Harmony, glowing softly as it kissed her on the cheek, healing magic flowing through her for (1).
Aisha would then shoutIf you have been injured, touch my spirit... simply passing through er and recieving her kiss will rrrrestorrre you!
((OOC - Aisha would shout about the healing spirit either way but i can't edit without risking manipulated rolls now..))
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Abraxas stands long enough to cast Ray of Frost. Attack 23 Damage 11. He squats back down in cover after casting the spell, considering the health of his colleagues Aisha and Harmony.
OOC: Okay, so sorry for the confusion, I've been thrown off my game lately, I'm used to having a lot more time to sort through my posts. The wyvern's stinger attack hit Harmony, rather than Aisha, putting our bard in dire straits as she stares down the wyvern. Giving Harmony a chance to react (or anyone else) now that the situation has changed, then I will resolve the round.
Thanks for your patience, all.

Abraxas casts Slow on it, a WIS save with a DC of 15. If there is cover close by, he will move toward it.
