The ritual had been completed! The mage clocked in purple had finished the final words of the incantation and now, his lifes work would be fulfilled.
Rise now, Goddess! Reclaim what is rightly yours!
The man yells into the well deep inside the temple. His voice echoes off the walls, before silence falls on the chamber once more. Then, however, there is a stirring. The ground begins to shake. Almost gently at first, then more and mkre violently, until it feels as though the very ground you stand upon will split apart and swallow the entirety of temple into the earth.
Just as youre sure the temple is about to collapse from the extreme shaking, it begins to die down. Replaced now by a faint vibration. Followed again by another. Then another. Then, a singular enormous black dragon head emerges from the well. Then a white. Then a blue. Then a green. And finally, a huge red dragon head hoists itself above the crest of the well. Just before a massive clawed foot comes over the edge and stomps the mage flat into the stone, his body crumbling almost into dust from the force of the impact.
Tiamat, the Goddess of chromatic dragons, has been released from her confinement in the nine hells, and appears ready to utterly destroy and enslave any and all mortals in her wake. The only thing between her and complete destruction of the world, is a group of heroes bent on stopping her at all cost.
(Go ahead and introduce your characters, once everyone is established we will roll initiative. Will add map in my next post btw!)
An unassuming gnome calmly stands before you wearing a dusky cloak. His young features contrast sharply with his deep hazel eyes that seem to drink in his surroundings as if he was a wine connoisseur tasting a new wine for the first time. Pushing back his hood, the gnome reveals, in contrast to the rest of his outfit, a patch of shockingly bright green hair peaking out from underneath a winged, leather helmet. He bears no weapons or armor, but those of a perceptive eye might also notice an oversized belt around his waist and just a hint of a golden amulet around his neck.
He speaks in a calm, reserved voice: Greetings my friends, my name is Gonnor, Honored Protector of the Snow Gnomes of the north. It seems our help is needed or the world will suffer the consequences.
Standing near the gnome is a heavily-muscled human, wearing no armor, but with a massive greatsword already in-hand. He has a longbow over his shoulder and wears a winged helm as well. He gives the gnome a serious nod of his head as he squares off to face the massive dragon. A thick belt is around his waist, with firey symbols along its length. "Seems like we have a job to do here..." He comments.
A lanky warrior in full plate strides up to join the first two. Her shield has the symbol of Torm on it's face, and she has a longsword in hand. A cloak flaps in the breeze of the dragon queen's arrival. Blond hair runs down her back, outside the cloak and armor, in a long braid. "By torm we will send her back to her prison." She says with a grin to the others. "This is going to be fun..."
A huge half-orc ambles up next to the others, his heavily armored 7-foot frame juxtaposed almost comically against the gnome's much smaller body. "There are days and then there are days," he mumbles to himself, though it's clear for the others to hear. In one hand a shield, in the other swings a censer of lit incense, the smell of which wafts lazily through the area. His eyes burn yellow and are currently fixed on the monstrosity before him, a yellow tattoo burns brightly on his forehead - an homage to his deity, the Morning Lord. "May we erase this stain from history together," Tengar says to those around him, looking at each in turn with a toothy grin.
As you all emerge into the final chamber, Tiamat in all her glory bellows a sickening laugh, scrapping what remains of the mage off the enormous clawed foot onto the stone floor (17 on map) before one by one the five heads sneer down upon you.
At each of the corners of the chamber there are statues, each a depiction of one of the five chromatic dragons. In the center of the chamber there is a slightly raised platform, rising above the stone floor about 10 feet. Five sets of stairs ascend to the platform, each also a depiction of one of the chomatic dragons(Ak on the map)
The chamber grows silent for just the most minute of moments, the deep breath before the plunge. Then, chaos consumes the chamber.
(Alright! Lets roll for initiative and get this thing started!)
Waiting on size of area and current position/ddistance from the queen of dragons. Also need answer to buffing being done already or if we need to waste actions at the start of a boss fight doing that.
Wilm takes off and moves to face Tiamat from the Northeast. He is up near the celing, 30 feet back from Tiamat. His echo snaps into being and moves directly up to the queen of dragons. Then Wilm strikes through it...

Gonnor eyeballs the statues around the room to see if there's anything funny going on with them...
Initiative order is-
(DragonsDenn, whichever has the higher dex mod goes first, if its a tie you can pick.)
Gonnor
Tengar
Tiamat
Waiting on size of area and current position/ddistance from the queen of dragons. Also need answer to buffing being done already or if we need to waste actions at the start of a boss fight doing that.
Wilm takes off and moves to face Tiamat from the Northeast. He is up near the celing, 30 feet back from Tiamat. His echo snaps into being and moves directly up to the queen of dragons. Then Wilm strikes through it...
Attack1: 29 Damage: 25
Attack2: 15 Damage: 29
Attack3: 27 Damage: 25
Release incarnation strike:
Attack: 26 Damage: 24
Action surge:
Attack1: 14 Damage: 30
Attack2: 19 Damage: 25
Attack3: 18 Damage: 25
Release incarnation strike:
Attack: 16 Damage: 27
Leann takes the direct approach. She strides to the queen of dragons, attacking form the northwest...
Attack: 24 Damage: 15
Attack: 18 Damage: 13
Bless bonuses:
1... 4
2. 1
As the first is likely to hit, add smite damage of: 28 to that one as she uses a 3rd slot and tiamat is a fiend.
Bless bonuses...
1... 2
2... 3
3... 2
4... 4
Action surge:

She makes a blade flurish as she hits, doing an extra 6 damage and increasing her ac by the same amount.

Probably need Tiamat to use her legendary actions as well, which she can use at the end of both Leann and Wilm's rounds.
