Dragon of Icespire Peak ***CLOSED***

As she reaches the house, Tabesha'l catches her breath and presses herself against the comforting dampness of the wall. After a quick look out the window, she flings a mote of fire towards the massive creature, her ears and nose still stinging with the pain of its ice cold breath... then gets back behind cover just as fast as she can, her heart pounding like a drum.

How did the dragon find them ? Was it tracking them ? " Probably sheer happenstance", she reflects as she prepares for her next attack.

** Casting Fire Bolt on Cryovain Attack: 12 Damage: 10 then using the wall as Full Cover if she can. **

Connak (who is hiding in the bush) nocks another arrow and searches for a weak spot to shoot at...

Longbow Attack: 25 Damage: 17

Connak, revealed by his attack, will then run to the wagon and attempt to use it to hide...

15

(OOC: posting advantage attack roll for Connak)

Attack: 12

Minsys didn't know what the dragon said but he was pretty sure it was something insulting.  He then shift from a few steps and brought his maul up against the other side of the dragon.

Move: move 2 squares north.  

Attack: 11 Damage: 12

Attack: 9 Damage: 15

Recharge (Cold Breath): 2

The young white dragon wailed in pain as Connak's arrow stuck right behind the hinge point of the right side of the wyrm's jaw. This gave Minsys the opening he'd been looking for, and two maul strikes later, the dragon suddenly found itself on the losing side of the battle. Not ready to give up yet, the dragon was swishing its tail left and right as it prepared to strike at the barbarian, until it noticed something circling overhead that was cause for great concern...

Spiraling quickly downwards out of the morning sky towards the young white was another dragon...a larger, but still adolescent green, shrieking angrily at the apparent interloper into its territory!

CRYOVAIN: takes the (dodge) action

ROLLING INITIATIVE:
9 - VENOMFANG

Tink frownas as the new one appears. Noticing that Whisker would be caught between the two she calls out, "Whisker tactical retreat gamma theta foxtrot omega!" She then loads an vial with orange liquid in her special crossbow and sends it flying at the white dragon.

Whisker, hearing her masters's call would retreat and back away from the creature.

Adding disadvantage roll for Tink's [Tooltip Not Found] attack against the young white dragon due to dragon's [action]dodge[/dodge] action:
DISADV: lower roll total between 20 or 15

Tink's fiery concoction explodes in mid-air before contacting the white dragon's hide, but the wyrm nearly fails to notice - its attention is keenly focused on its rival that has entered a free-fall dive from above.

VENOMFANG: takes the dash action, descends 160 feet towards the young white dragon.

(OOC: young green dragon is now 140 feet above ground level.)

Vaxis looks up in alarm.

"It is being a bit too crowded for my tastes. The normal allotment of dragons in any place should be zero. Now, there are two of them!"

Vaxis outstretches his hands, offering a prayer for guidance to Bahamut, as another slightly weaker bolt erupts from his clawed hands!

(Casting 1st level Guiding Bolt on Cryovain, Attack 14, Damage 14 radiant and advantage on the next attack on a hit)

The radiant energy from the cleric's magical attack streaks harmlessly past the dragon's head and out into the morning sky, burning a small hole in the fog which quickly fills in a moment or two later.

As she sees the green wyrm diving down, Tabesha'l grasps the fact that whatever happens between the two dragons about to fight it out in front of the party, the winner isn't likely to congratulate the spectators. 

She lifts up her skirts and swiftly climbs back out of the window she just dived in, swearing under her breath in elvish as the hem of her brand new clothes rips on the sill, and as she finds her feet on the grass she signals to her remaining friends on the ridge: " Tink, Vaxis, Minsys ! This way ! We must leave... NOW !"

As she calls out, she points her staff at the south-western corner of the house, and a thick cloud of fog starts forming there. After a last injunction, she sprints towards the magical cover and vanishes into it...

** Move through the window to the south. Casting Fog Cloud centered 20 feet west of the window, then remaining movement into the fog and out towards the north, going around the cliff side of the house. **

Connak is more than aware of his exclusion by Tabesha'l and wonders if she seriously thinks he's going to stay behind to do something to help them flee...

But Connak is not ready to sacrifice his life.  However he does double down for Minsys's sake and yells, "Minsys!  Really!  Let the dragons fight each other and RUN.  Follow the river downstream." 

Connak forgoes stealth and runs towards the dock to then follow the shoreline, heeding his own advice.

(Move + Dash + Bonus Action Dash for a total of 105ft)

Minsys hears that there is another dragon and quickly looks around.  He growls in disappointment, thinking they could take one but not two.  He looks back quick and then hops down the ledge.

Acrobatics 12

Landing on his feet he used the momentum to book it into and the house.

Action disengage 

Move 40 feet to the house

Recharge (Cold Blast): 2 

The young white dragon did not even notice the barbarian's departure and retreat into the remnants of the log cabin office building, instead the wyrm lept into the air to meet its peer in aerial combat:

CRYOVAIN takes the dash action to ascend 140 feet skyward towards the young green dragon!

"Come on girl let's get out of here!" Tink would call out to Whisker as they both make a break through the fog cloud and following after the others.

The green dragon throws open its wings like powerful airbrakes stalling its forward momentum. As the young white zooms up to meet him in the air, a poisonous cloud erupts from the mouth of the larger green which fully engulfs its adversary:

VENOMFANG
Attack (Poison Breath): Constitution Save (Cryovain) - 10 vs. DC 14; taking 50 poison damage on a failed save or half damage (25) on a success.

The young white dragon rolls over backwards from the blast and immediately goes into freefall, plummeting to the ground below.

Vaxis dashes into the fog cloud but fails to correctly judge where the level ground ends and the rocky escarpment begins. He tumbles down the short but steep slope and lands prone at the bottom.

(OOC: Using the dash action, Vaxis was able to move a total of 35 feet to the north before landing prone at the bottom of the escarpment. With his remaining movement, he was able to stand and move another 10 feet to the north out of the cloud.)

Tabesha'l signals to Vaxis to follow her. " This way ! Mere stone walls shan't provide us with much cover versus a noxious cloud of such a magnitude, friend Vaxis ! We'd best find means to stay out of sight, least for the time being... !"

Putting action after words, she lifts up her robes, puts a hand up to hold her tall pointy hat in place and starts jogging toward the nearest hiding spot, her purple cloak billowing in her wake.

As she gets to the far side of the house and presses herself against the wall, the sight of the river ahead makes her wonder...

Connak sees Tabesha'l coming and hopes the others are right behind her.  He moves downstream, keeping an eye out for the dragons and for other dangers, like the shape changers, doing his best to lead the way and notice dangers before it's too late.

 Connak speaks, only loud enough for Tabesha'l to hear.  "Run downstream.  Hopefully we can use the forest, or as a last resort, the river, for cover.  I will scout ahead, try to make sure we're not jumping out of the pot and into the fire.  Get the others to follow."

Tabesha'l reasons that any gouts of poison breath from the green dragon would not affect anyone swimming at least 5 feet beneath the surface of the river.

Connak moves well ahead of the others and does not spot any additional dangers along the south side of the river bank leading eastward (downstream).

" Understood !" Tabesha'l answers the wood elf scout silently through her Message spell, sparing her words for once. " I shall remain here until all are accounted for and we'll follow thee. Do be careful !"
