Garrett is obviously affected by the dragon's presence, but still manages to cast shield of faith and move 20' down into the compound using airwalk.
"I hope Alemi and Domi are ready for this thing" he thinks to himself, "because I'm not."
DM JohnP Monday August 21st, 2006 8:48:59 AM
I'm back and there will be a DM post tonight.
Ceil - As mentioned above, I had to go out of town for a couple days and didn't activate the ADM.
Final Showdown - Round 2 (DM JohnP) AoO d20+28=45 2d8(5+4)+13=22 Flame d20+28=48 d20+28=48 4d8(4+5+4+5)+26=44 Monday August 21st, 2006 9:45:41 PM Xenia scales the tower, keeping close to the wall to remain unseen by the dragon that Gargalus called Flame. She inches over the top of the wall and hides in the shadow of the ballista with her bow drawn, looking for a weak spot in the dragon's armor. Xenia -- please make a save vs. fear (Will DC 24) or become Shaken
Nauthiz'Ull casts a spell and prepares to fire at the dragon.
Appolo manages not to cower from the dragon that is hovering over him but then he turns and runs away. The dragon bites at the rogue as he moves past and it's needle-like teeth tear into Appolo's back. Flame's bite AoO -- hits AC 45 (Tumble 14 was not sufficient to avoid AoO, and moving through multiple threatened squares), 22 damage
Toros keeps running towards the knot of people clustered around Alemi, Domi and the third figure. He reaches the edge of the crowd and can now see the figure better. Something about that third figure seems familiar ... Toros - Knowledge Religion check, please.
Garrett moves into the compound and sinks towards the ground.
======
Flame screams, "It's no fun at all if all you do is run away! Here I come!
The dragon flies towards the fleeing rogue, dropping as he does. Once he is close enough, Flame whips his neck out to bite at Appolo. The needle teeth sink into the rogue's back again, nearly killing him. Flame's bite -- hits AC 48 (threat), confirmed AC 48, 44 damage
Xenia (AC25, 55/55 HP) d20+4=8 d20+20=22 d20+20=40 Tuesday August 22nd, 2006 11:45:07 AM
Holy Stars and Planets! He's so big. The dragon then takes two healthy chomps from Appolo in less than six seconds. Blood sprays, and the dark rogue feels her body betray her and begin trembling with fear.
And he's so fast.
Xenia forces herself forward. The dragon is now going after Garrett.
Gotta get closer.
She dives off the tower and floats to the top of the wall below. Again across the wall to hop over the side and drift to the ground. Though silent as the night, the rogue wavers in her fright and her form flickers in and out of shadow, visible to the vigilant eye.

Toros d20=13 Tuesday August 22nd, 2006 10:08:46 PM

Shaken by the might of the dragon, Xenia slowly creeps forward and down the wall. She comes to a halt where she might be able to fire, but misses her footsteps while moving. The dragon turns to look at where she is trying to hide.
Thinking that he should meet the dragon's might with magic, Garrett casts a spell that channels the power of a future god. With his new size, he is a better match for the dragon.
Appolo collapses to the ground, his life slowly trickling away.
Nauthiz'Ull hesitates to fire on the dragon. Or anything, in fact.
In the centre of the compound, Toros moves closer to the trio who are surrounded by the students. He pushes some aside as he tries to get closer to the unknown figure. Moving his bulk through the press of students is difficult but he should be close enough next round.
========================================
Flame looks over at where Xenia crouches. "So, the little sneak has decided to come out. Have I mentioned yet how I dislike sneak-thieves? At least you're not a Halfling."
Then he unleashes a furious assault on Garrett, biting at the Protector then slamming him back and forth with claws and wings, and finally slapping with his tail. Flame - bite hits AC 47, 23 damage claw - misses AC 28 claw - hits AC 39, 13 damage wing - misses AC 28 wing - misses AC 27 tail slap - hits AC 36, 24 damage DM JohnP - Please note that Flame's natural weapons are subject to your damage reduction.
Then Flame moves aside, moving closer to the sneak thief.
Xenia (AC25, 55/55 HP) d20+20=34 d20+20=32 Wednesday August 23rd, 2006 10:12:01 PM Fram your Manhole, the rogue replies to the dragon with her inner voice, and in the darkness she makes a vulgar finger gesture in its direction. Then, with all her stealth, she creeps away from the wall. Xenia flickers into view as she crosses out of the shadows of the wall and into the shadows of the nearest building, but then she's gone again.
As she passes Appolo, she draws a potion.

Nauthiz'Ull [ac20 hp90/90:resist energy(fire)] d20+13=16 Thursday August 24th, 2006 12:22:12 AM
Watching the events unfold, nauth snaps out of his awe-stricken solidity. This dragon is quite different from any of the other dragons that he has ever seen before. It is amazing!
He knows that there is quitel likely little that he can do to this creature but he knows that Garret will not be alone in this battle. Taking a step closer to the edge of the wall, Nauth draws out a stone with odd runes etched into the faces and holds it tightly. he then prays, as ironic as it seems, to Gargul's ways as his body begins to darken and become semi-transparent. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ actions 5' step (free) draws thunderstone (move) fails to activate darkwalk ability (standard) - concentration.16
ed. DM JohnP - Drew, a DC 20 Concentration check needs to be made to successfully use Darkwalk.

Garrett's blood flies as he is savaged by the dragon. Rarely has he encountered such ferocity, and a creature so easily able to connect with him while protected.
"If I swing back Garrett thinks, he could finish me next round. My only hope is to keep healing myself and hope Alemi and Domi get their butts out here to deal with this thing. If it is occupied with me, perhaps it will forget Toros." Garrett thinks to himself
Garrett then converts greater magic weapon to cure critical and stares down the dragon. "Well snake. Got any better. I'm not use to fighting someone's pet, so forgive me if I don't do as well as usual."
ed. DM JohnP - Are you going to cast defensively again? I'll assume so and make the roll for you. Or you can step away from Flame.
Toros Thursday August 24th, 2006 10:45:32 AM
Toros starts to lose his patience in his attempt to come closer to Alemi and Domi, knowing the time is very limited for his friends at the walls. With one last attempt, he will push his way to the future gods and the third figure next to them.
"Alemi, why are you waiting here doing nothing!? You are stronger than Gargalus and can beat him or his minions!! And Domi, what happened to your courage, how can you stand here doing nothing, while your followers fight for you to death. Come on you must do something!!!!!"

Then she steals across the open area to stand at the corner of a building, drawing a potion from her pouch as she does so.
The dusky rogue is now standing next to Appolo as he gurgles on the ground.
Nauthiz'Ull hops down from the crenellation and tries to enter the shadow realm. He cannot focus his mind though, so he remains wholly in this world. Then he removes a stone from his pouch,
Opting to repair himself, Garrett hunkers down and casts a healing spell. He managed to prevent Flame from attacking him when he does this.
Toros has now pushed his way through the students and shouts at the future gods. The third figure turns from Alemi and Domi and looks directly at the liontaur ... or into his soul. Toros has to withstand that stare if he wants to reply to the words spoken by that radiant being.
"Child, what do you want? What can you and your companions not do for yourselves?"
Will save DC 15 or become Shaken
========================================
"Oooh, a cleric! I like clerics, they usually have nice jingly things! And they fight like girly-men!"
Flame continues to attack Garrett, biting and hitting at the Protector. He batters Garrett, tossing him back and forth and but Garrett remains standing. Then Flame moves away from the Protector. Bite -- hits AC 47, 15 damage Claw -- hits AC 38, 16 damage Claw -- hits AC 34, 15 damage Wing -- hits AC 36, 9 damage Wing -- hits AC 34, 14 damage Tail slap -- hits AC 34, 22 damage

At the corner of the building, Xenia keeps one eye on the Dragon as it pummels poor Garrett. With the other eye, she watches herself as she pops the seal on the potion with her thumb and pours the contents down Appolo's throat.
C'mon, you. Get up. We got dragon baiting to do. And this time, keep out of its way. she thinks to herself.
Then, silent and in the shadows, she creeps closer to Big Red, sneaking to the corner, angling for a shot.

Toros can feel those radiant stares penetrate his body and soul, however he manages to maintain his composure (d20, 22)...
"We need any help we can get to deal with Gargalus and his minions. While we fight to defend you, you just stay here and wait. If only we could gather our forces and stand against Gargalus... Please help us, I pray you.., I will pray you throughout my life..."
Would such hearth-felt talk to future gods be useful!? God(s) know(s)...

Out near the wall, Xenia pours a potion down the throat of the unconscious Appolo and then moves closer to Flame. Maybe she can get a shot in before the dragon turns on her ...
Garrett casts another healing spell, again managing to avoid any distractions.
After being healed, Appolo gets to his feet and sprints across the open area. He knows that the two ballistas on the west side of the gate have been fired by himself and Xenia.
Nauthiz'Ull finally wakes from his trance and drops the alchemical device that he had been preparing to throw at the dragon. Maybe simply dropping the stone wasn't a good idea ... but this time it doesn't go off. The ranger then fires his bow three times at the dragon. His first two shots glance off Flame's tough hide while the third sails harmlessly wide.
========================================
"Finally! Someone has the nerve to attack me! This was getting boring."
Flame moves closer and attacks Garrett once more. Maybe his concentration has wavered as he lost interest in this combat for all but one of his attacks misses the Protector. Flame -- bite misses AC 32 Claw -- misses AC 27 Claw -- hits AC 35, 17 damage Wing -- misses AC 27 Wing -- misses AC 24 Tail slap -- misses AC 233
========================================
In the middle of the crowd of students, the third figure looks at Toros and studies him.
"I think that it is time to do this. Who shall be first to take this burden?
Alemi motions and moves closer, followed immediately by Domi. Several of the students press closer.
Toros and the rest of the party can now hear what may be distant thunder. Flame also hears the sound, raising his head and gazing into the distance.

Something's happening. There's something sparkling up in the air. Stars and planets! More stuff coming.
From the darkness, Xenia takes her shot. There's a thunk. But Xenia is already hightailing it out of there. Not much time to even hide. Gotta make it between the buildings. Maybe he can't squeeze in and get her there. And maybe if he tries, he'll be easier to hit. She runs for the space between the buildings.

There is no way for Nauth to get down to ground level now, and there is no way Nauth is going sit idly and watchi his wunjo die. In a rage the man from the Vein lets loose a string of guteral utterances that should make even a dragon blush.
Just as quickly as the words poured from his mouth does three shafts wobble like an overburdened hawk through the air.
Pointing to the skies where some reflecting light caught his eye as he fired the second shot, Nauth yells; "What in Koshe Marr is that? More things that want to kill us?"

Garrett decides his best move is to keep healing himself and keep the dragon occupied with him so that the others can get to the Ballistas and heal themselves.
Appolo Ac 23 Hp 59 d20+10=27 d20+12=18 Tuesday August 29th, 2006 7:55:21 PM
Appolo climbs the wall to the Balista's and begins loading one.He curses furiously,when he hears the thunder and sees the winged creatures in the distance.Looking at the dragon"Hey you over grown piece of luggage.Need some help ya.Can't handle us on your own."
Toros d20=18 Tuesday August 29th, 2006 9:00:33 PM
"What? What burden...?" What he hears and sees does not make sense for Toros. His perception is open and alert to more immediate, explicit happenings such as that thunder and glinting lights at distance (spot 18+bonuses), while the taur tries to adjust himself to what will happen next in his immediate surrounding and coming from distance. Would he be safe or danger with the future gods? What about the others? Gods!!!
Showdown - Concludes? (DM JohnP) d20+28=31 Tuesday August 29th, 2006 10:03:15 PM Xenia looses an arrow at the dragon and watches it bounce harmlessly off Flame's hide. Darting away, she turns the corner into a space where she thinks that she can hide.
Nauthiz'Ull does the same, shooting at the dragon and watching one of his arrows find a weak spot in it's hide. That doesn't do much more than draw the attention of Flame.
Garrett heals himself once more, hoping to withstand the dragon's assault until his friends can damage or drive it off.
And Appolo climbs up onto the wall and begins loading a ballista. As he does, he curses Flame for needing reinforcements.
========================================
The dragon looks up into the sky at the approaching creatures. The sound of the massed creatures is getting louder and louder. Flame, however, turns and bites at Garrett once more, missing again. Then he takes wing, lifting off and flying away from the approaching creatures.
========================================
Toros watches as the winged creatures come closer. It is soon obvious why Flame has chosen to flee for none of the party have ever seen or even heard of such a massed horde of gold dragons. The creatures steadily fly closer until they are hovering over the compound.
The third figure gestures to Alemi and Domi. "It is time, you two who have labored so long to contact me. Take up the burden."
Alemi steps forward, with Domi just behind. He motions for the students to step away until an area is cleared in front. Toros is caught up in the press and carried along. Then, the largest of the gold dragons flies closer and lands in front of Alemi. The future god steps closer and presses his hand to the breast of the mighty creature of good. The third figure gestures and a glow surrounds both Alemi and the dragon. Once it fades, Alemi has gone and only the dragon remains.
The dragon speaks, and even though the voice is much deeper and louder, the tones and patterns of Alemi's speech are evident to the listeners.
"Domi, you have followed me for a long time. Join me in this, too, so that we may sweep away Gargalus and his minions, then sweep the gods aside at Jericho's command!"
The gold dragon that now contains Alemi's spirit and soul lifts higher in the air so that a second dragon can land. Domi repeats the process, merging with this dragon. Once the transition is complete, he lifts into the air and hovers protectively beside Alemi.
Dragon-Alemi calls again, "Who of you will join us in this?"
Garrett Wednesday August 30th, 2006 9:54:08 AM
Garrett turns and looks at his companions.
"Only one of us is needed to take the stone back home. There is much greater good I can do with them" gesturing towards The dragons of Alemi and Domi.
Garrett looks at Nauth "It is time for me to go Wunjo. I will follow Domi as I always have, and hopefully help the whole Wold in the process."
Garrett steps forward and answers Alemi "I will go with you."
Xenia (AC25, 55/55 HP) Wednesday August 30th, 2006 11:06:04 AM
The girl rogue peers around the corner as the explosion of crimson wings signals Flame's departure. He's gone. Just gone.
Two dragons, gold, both of them, fly up into the sky above the compound. Words drift in on the wind. Something about becoming a golden dragon. One of the dragons asks for those who would join him, and Garrett is going.
But the dark rogue holds back. On the one hand, she can just see it, flying up high in the sky, flying on dragon wings. Swooping down. Being a golden dragon. But in the other hand, she sees Wynn. He's there in the future waiting for her. She sees his face, feels the touch of his hand, she hears the sound of his voice in her heart.
And she wants to go to him.
"I'll stay back," she calls out as Garrett walks to the place where they're doing the dragon thing. "I'll stay down here." And she sprints to the wall where Appolo is loading the Ballista.

Looking at Garret"Well good luck my friend.I need to get back to where I belong.Not that I wouldn't minf putting Gargulas's head ona pike mind."
Toros Thursday August 31st, 2006 8:21:52 AM
Watching all the scene with amazed eyes, Toros finds difficulty to talk...
"Fare well Garrett, I am sure you will succeed and hope you be happy!!"
Then Toros returns back to his friends, now knowing how the future Gods become Gods... Gericko, Alemi, Domi, and Garrett? Well it would be nice if they have a protective friend God, right....
Once having some time, seeing his wounds Toros will heal Appolo with his wand.
Nauthiz'Ull Thursday August 31st, 2006 8:25:39 PM
Stopping...freezing in place, the rangers soul rips in two. Go and find the path of a true God, or stay and remain the leader of Ice Peak Village; guiding his prophesized people to the next age of greatness in the tundra of the Southern Continent?
His people are prospering greatly, much thanks to their accepting of the Great Bohdi Nackle's Enlightenment. Maybe the Great Nackle will return with Queen Flea and show the villagers of Ice Vein the true powers of the arcane?
Aiden, Lord of the Tusken Watchers, is pretty occupied with the final step in converting the once savage tribe of the Tuskers into a peaceable, nomadic group who lives off of the lands and aids oppression and tyranny wherever they find it.
"I think our wunjos will be fine brother; I wish to see the ways of Alemi and Domi both. I wish to shed the powers of the fickle Gargalus and find the true path. Maybe we shall return to them later?"
The well-seasoned ranger approaches one of the Gold Dragons, one with a nice scar perhaps, and will stroke its muzzle.
"May I join you?"
The Conclusion (DM JohnP) Thursday August 31st, 2006 10:16:07 PM
Many of the students and other instructors push forward to accept Jericho's offer. They each merge with a dragon and then lift off to join Alemi and Domi hovering overhead. After several students and instructors have merged with dragons, a group wing off in pursuit of the fleeing Flame.
When Garrett moves forward, Jericho holds out his hand.
"Go back to your friends. This battle is not for you. You have what you came for. See us off, take the Feystone, and return to your time. You must then decide how to save the Wold in your time using what you have learned here as well as other information that other questers have discovered."
More students join with dragons until there are no more volunteers. Jericho then calls the party down to the ground.
"Stand down. All here thank you for your help. You have given them hope."
The Creator holds out the Feystone towards Garrett.
"You can safely carry this now. Summoning me drained Eberyon nearly unto death. He will sleep until a time far in the future, a day that you know well."
"Now take this hope to the people of your time."
Jericho then waves his hand and Oshirr House fades from view.
++++++
When their vision clears, the party find themselves in the great sanctum of Lemtrovex's Temple. The tracks on the floor are still fresh, as if they fought here only minutes ago. But there are no other signs besides the tracks of their fallen companions or their opponents. Just then a silent figure, the ghost priest that approached them before, drifts into the room.
"You have returned. Go now to whence you first came, and use your burden wisely"
Again, the figure gestures and the sanctum fades.
++++++
Sound comes first, this time. The sound of a marketplace, with vendors shouting about their wares and people haggling. When the mist clears from their eyes, they find themselves in the marketplace outside the Temple of Gargul in Plateau City. Without being told, everyone feels that their mission is complete.

John, and guys, thank you very much indeed for all. You have done a great DMing and role-playing!! This game has made me realize that I have not still been experienced enough to recognize the real worth of FRP gaming, and I have thought and recognized a lot about role-playing, while you DM and we play. What I can for sure is that DFR2 will be one of the greatest FRP experience for me among the ones not only I have played but will have played. Many thanks for this experience.

You know you have my thanks, John. But I'll express it none the less before this board closes.
Good game. Many thanks.
