Pizazz's Ravenloft and Beyond

Meepo Strength save: 16

Skeleton strength save:   5  2  20  19  13  11 

The wall of force that slams into everyone is like a massive hand, shoving everyone backwards.  Everyone but Ketch who, shield out, manages to stand his ground as he leans into the force with all his might. 

Meanwhile, Ulthan watches as Lionel, Mordekai, Meepo (on the shoulders of a skeleton still), and 5 more skeletons come stumbling backwards out of the hallway and are tossed into the water of the room all around him.  Ketch finds himself alone at the front of the hallway. 

The dragon blinks in satisfaction, but there is still anger in his eyes as he glares at the remaining warrior in front of him.

Outside the cave, the light grows darker, and those in the watery room see dark clouds flooding into the sky most unnaturally...the rumble of distant thunder can be heard. 

Ulthan grunts as the hallway is now mostly clear and leans around the corner, smoothly unleashing two arrows. They plink off the dragons scales harmlessly.  The dragon growls....and a thunderclap crashes through the room filled with water, the loud sound assaulting everyone's ears. 

CON 15 Save for everyone but Ketch please. 7 Thunder damage if you fail and you are deafened. 

Ketch then strides forward, casting his magic, and slams his axe into the creature, the blade biting into its side.

The dragon hisses in pain.  And then raises it's wings and buffets Ketch with a blast of air. 

DC 20 Dex save Ketch or take 15 damage and knocked prone.

Mordekai, your action.

[Round 1: Dragon 22, Ulthan 21, Ketch 19, Mordekai 17, Lionel 16, Meepo+Skeletons 4]

(Slight map tweak, Ketch it standing next to the dragon now)

Mordekai thinks of one last ploy. He catches Meepo's eye and winks, and turns to run, at least out of sight of the dragon. "Ketch, Ulthan, I believe this is our cue to run!"

Once he's well out of sight of the dragon (he'll lead the way in to the alcove on the left side of the map, I think 30ft can get him nicely tucked in there?), he'll cast Disguise Self, making himself look like a bronze scaled dragonborn in fine red robes with gold embroidery, with an arrogant-looking face, and wait, hoping the others follow him out. 

Mordekai picks himself up after being tossed back 60 feet...dripping wet. He ... grins? .... at Meepo and the others and moves back towards the passage they group originally entered by 

Lionel's Action.

Lionel Con Save: 20

"I need a better shield..."

Ketch was alone with the beast. "Robbery gone wrong" did not begin to describe the situation but it was what it was now, and he would not leave a friend to fight alone no matter what.

Lionel scrambled himself from the floor and ran back to the dragon's chamber. "We do not want to fight you!" Actually, by now he wanted but would agree to at least try to stop himself.

Action: Crusader’s Mantle

Channel Divinity: Vow of Enmity (As a bonus action, you can utter a vow of enmity against a creature you can see within 10 feet of you, using your Channel Divinity. You gain advantage on attack rolls against the creature for 1 minute or until it drops to 0 hit points or falls unconscious.)

Oh, I missed the "everyone BUT Ketch" on the Con save! Mordekai DC15 CON save: 19

The crack of thunder is loud, but both Mordekai and Lionel shake off the stunning sound, though their ears are still ringing.  

Despite Mordekai's hopes, Lionel splashes through the water and charges back towards the dragon....holy energy bursting from around him. Though he only reaches the entrance to the hallway as he stomps slowly through the water.

As he does so, he sees the Bronze dragon lash around, it's tail attempting to slam into Ketch who may or may not be prone after the buffeting wing attack....  (Rolling with advantage just in case). 

The dragon responds to the paladin yelling "We do not want to fight you!" with a laugh, and roars, "Lying murderous worms!" 

Tail Attack: 28 Damage: 11

Meepo + Skeletons turn. (reminder for Meepo to make a save vs thunder)

Reminder: The water room is considered difficult terrain. Also, because of the curve of the wall away from the hallway and the crowded space in the water room, and the view down the hallway, I'm going to say that only 8 skeletons can get in position to shoot down the hallway at once, without moving into the hallway. The closest 4 skeletons are within 5 feet of the hallway, so could use 10 feet of movement to get into the hallway.  If there are people / skeletons in the hallway, then the dragon at the far end will get a bonus to AC because of cover. 

[Round 1: Dragon 22, Ulthan 21, Ketch 19, Mordekai 17, Lionel 16, Meepo+Skeletons 4]

(And another reminder to Meepo, that all his skeletons are doing additional 1d4 radiant damage)

Ketch Dex Save: 23

     Ketch does get smacked with the tail (prone or not, it hits) and it hurts.  A lot.  But you know, he holds onto his axe and shield and is ready to do this... 

((Prone??  As if!!  HA!))

Meepo con save: 14

Meepo casts wall of force and surrounds the dragon with a sphere of force if that works.

My wife is already yelling at me about being online now, so signing off again...

Never raise the ire of a kobold wife, it seems like a bad stabby decision.  Save 17
Ulthan grumbles as the thunder blasts his head, hearing nothing and seeing Ketch still fighting, towering over skeletons he continues firing small wussy human arrows at the giant beast.
Arrow1: 31 Damage: 16
Arrow2: 20 Damage: 9

Meepo casts his wall, the dragons limbs and tail that are moving about get pressed in by the wall, the tail flopping inwards. 

The dragon is silent within the sphere, but glances about and then.... vanishes.... only to reappear on the far side of the room. The dragon rises up on its hind legs and opens its wings wide.

The feeling begins within your bowels, a strange loss of pressure. Hairs stand up on your arms. A tingling runs up your spine. Adrenalin, the body flushing it out in response to the pure fear that rages through your body.

Everyone make a DC 17 Wisdom save vs Dragon Fear. (all skeletons included). Failure and you become frightened and can't move closer to the dragon. You can repeat the save at the end of each of your turns. 

Then the dragon stomps out of the room, squeezing through the double doors to the south into that room. Outside the cave, the light continues to darken as thick clouds grow in the sky. A cold wind blows in through the entrance and the ocean begins to rise with violent chop. 

Ulthan, roll your save, then you take your action, I presume firing two arrows is no longer your choice.

[Round 2: Dragon 22, Ulthan 21, Ketch 19, Mordekai 17, Lionel 16, Meepo+Skeletons 4]

[Conditions:  Ulthan : Deafened, Meepo : Deafened.]

(Just in case - Ulthan also has additional 1d4 of radiant damage)

Lionel Wisdom save: 20

Ketch Wis Save vs Dragon Fear:  27

((Scaredy cat dragon, already running away!))

     On his turn, Ketch call out "It's just a frightful little worm!" at the fleeing beast and trudges after it with his 30' of movement.  

     If his movement does not bring him back into melee range with the dragon, Ketch will cast Sacred Flame and cause a flame like radiance to descend upon the dragon - The malevolent stare of Gruumsh and his disappointed at the beast's retreat falling upon it in furious anger!  Dex save bs DC 18 or take 9 radiant damage...

((If Ketch can regain melee range then I will do melee attack... but pretty sure he's out of range?))

Ulthan shakes in his boots violently throwing off his arrows most likely missing both shots. Save Fear 18. At least that's what everyone expected, Ulthan grumbles mostly internally as he fights off the wussy dragon fear as he fires his wussy human arrows.

Mordekai DC17 WIS save: 21

Mordekai sighs as it becomes clear that the group aren't following. Not surprising given that Ketch was stuck up close to it by himself. He concludes that it would have been a long shot anyway, and he'd better think about getting back into the fight. 

Ulthan fights off the fear and launches two arrows into the room. He can't even see the dragon anymore, and they bounce harmlessly off of some sort invisible wall anyway. 

The room filled with water and the hallway leading into it fills with thick mist that makes it impossible to see your hand in front of your face. 

Ketch meanwhile charges the dragon, leaving the foggy hallway behind.  He careens off of some sort of invisible field he didn't see, but realizes its sloping away from him and with one hand on it, charges over to the dragon. (You're within melee range, make a melee attack.) 

Next: Ketch melee attack. 

[Round 2: Dragon 22, Ulthan 21, Ketch 19, Mordekai 17, Lionel 16, Meepo+Skeletons 4]

[Conditions:  Ulthan : Deafened, Meepo : Deafened, Skeletons : all but one are fearful.] 

Skeleton saves vs 8 thunder damage: 

Skeleton saves vs. fear :

     Being in melee, Ketch will swing his Great Axe and then use his calling as a War Priest to swing it again as a bonus action…

Great Axe Attack: 21 Damage: 5
Bonus Great Axe Attack: 19 Damage: 8

The first hit, if either do, gets additional 4 due to Divine Strike.

And additional d4 of a radiant damage from Crusader’s Mantle

Mordekai sighs again, with the realisation that he's probably miles from the fight and unable to help out in any way.  He pictures the room where he saw the dragon and assumes the very agitated and angry dragon hasn't shrunk back to the farthest wall of that cave-room.  Mordekai Dimension Doors to the very back corner of that room and looks around to spot the dragon and assess his options for next round. 

So, as for location, Mordekai will appear in a straight line from the passageway they entered, past the Dais where the dragon was to any point on that back (right-hand-side of the map) wall where he'd have feasibly had a decent look at to visualise for the spell - I'm aware that the dragon was doing its best to obscure as much of the room as possible, but there must have been one point along that back wall that Mordekai got a decent enough glimpse of to safely teleport to.
