DM(James M) - Map - What Pit? 10d6=33 ; 10d6=32 ; Thursday March 4th, 2021 1:51:11 PM
DM Notes: Unless you guys know different, Air Elementals are transparent so they won't block vision. As for the object at Y22, I think that's a PC icon, Neshi perhaps? Lets not use icons on the map from now on unless everyone knows what it's supposed to be. As for light sources, even with True Seeing you wouldn't be able to see reflected "light" without a light source.
Osul reveals that the rainbow marks on the rock came from a horn or claw. Armand announces that the object in the ceiling has a magic aura. Abjuration he thinks. Elyngael climbs the wall of the tunnel as much as she can to get from under Osul and started to examine the wall. Brawn is keeping watch at the rear. Neshi keeps a sharp eye out as he asks about their course of action. Atlas considers recovering the rock and try to sell it and mentions that to the others. Vamir casts invisibility on himself even as he admits that he doesn't know what the rock and it's shiny bits are. Owen watches the rear.
Armand - Highlight to display spoiler: {You correctly identify the spell as an Alarm spell.}
It wasn't but a second after Atlas made his comment about selling the rock when the entire ceiling above Osul, Vamir, and Elygael collapsed upon them. A split second later the floor gave way as the ceiling and floor plummeted downwards with a large rock accompanying the falling debris.
Osul, Vamir, and Elyngael, 33 Hp Damage, Reflex Save DC 30 for half - Fail Highlight to display spoiler: {You are pulled into the pit by falling debris and are covered in dirt and rocks taking another 32 hp as they batter you.} If you make the reflex save move yourself outside the pit area. Elyngael and Osul get a +2 Circumstance bonus to the Reflex save from their perception checks.
Osul - Highlight to display spoiler: {That was a really outstanding Nature Check. Osul seems to think that the flecks might be draconic in origin.}

One might be an animated vortex of wind and smoke, while another might be a smoky bird-like creature with glowing eyes and wind for wings."
{Reflex Save:23 vs 30 - 33+32damage}
'Osul gingerly, carefully gets to his flight, looking to see who or what else might be down here in the pit. He mutters several things about dragons, as he checks for further danger and then casts an eye over the injuries of anyone in the pit. If anyone else is seriously wounded he will cast Heal on the most serious.

Armand moves forward but stays clear of the edge of the pit, unsure if the ground is stable. He looks up at the shaft and down into the hole. "Is everyone okay?" he calls out, then mutters, That's a stupid question. Perception 24 (d20+7)
"Atlas you should still have flying activated on your boots, fly down there and see if anyone is seriously injured and could be moved up to me to be able to heal them."

Hearing the commotion, Owen returns to the others and examines the situation to see if a casting of Stone Shape will help extricate the others.
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 35 (T 17 FF 28) , CMD: 34, HP 167/153 Friday March 5th, 2021 1:03:17 AM
Atlas reacts immediately when Armand speaks, flying down to pick up those that are hurt and bring them back up to Armand. He starts with El, pulling the rocks off her and flying her back up. "You're getting my nice armor bloody, please do be more careful next time." He says it with a smile however, then gently sets her down by Armand.
As he passes Vamir he nods, then he turns around to get 'Osul if he didn't manage to make it out already by himself.

Neshi moves forward so that he is above the pit and gets ready to lend a hand if needed to get any one out.
DM(James M) - Map - Clouds? 2d6=9 ; d20+11=29 Friday March 5th, 2021 9:34:49 AM Osul was caught in the debris of the collapsing ceiling and thrown down into the pit that opened up when the rock from above impacted the ground. Armand moved as close to the edge of the pit carefully so as not to fall in and calls out to those that got caught in the landslide and suggests that Atlas might be able to fly down to them. Elyngael too was caught in the falling debris, but seemed unharmed enough to use language befitting a sailor. Vamir flew back a few feet avoiding most of the debris, but was still pummeled hard by a few rocks on the periphery as he looks upward into the darkness above. Owen goes to examine the situation and see if his spells might help. Atlas flew down into the hole to look for those caught in the trap. Neshi flew forward and peered down into the pit to see if he could offer any aid.
A cloud of dirt and dust erupted from the pit floor to obscure everything at its bottom. Osul and Elyngael both were covered in rocks, dirt, and debris, but not enough to pin them. Osul saw the stone that came through the ceiling laying next to him in the pit. It was at least fifteen feet in diameter and almost perfectly round. The rock they were examining at the time lay next to it. Elyngael and Osul saw that the rainbow colored flecks on one side of it were still visible in the dim reflected light of the orbs dancing about in the tunnel above.
Elyngael - INT Check DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: {The color of the flecks remind her of the scat she saw outside the harvester camp.}
Up above those in the tunnel struggled to see down into the pit through all the dirt and dust that clouded the bottom of the pit as they called down to those below.
Vamir saw a white cottony cloud start to form near the entrance hole in the ceiling, within moments the foggy cloud had surrounded him and Neshi.
Neshi and Vamir - Highlight to display spoiler: { 9 Damage(Cold) - No Save, and are at half movement until they exit the cloud}
Elyngael Highlight to display spoiler: {That smaller rock the two were examining in the ceiling is a piece of adamantine and worth about 5K gp}

Huge Air Elemental-'Osul(Graham) AC:16 (T:12, FF:12), CMD:29, ST:(F12/R11/W23 + RNL), HP:0+47/96, Wildshape(XVII):6, L. Lord:15, S. Burst:14 d20+36=54 ; Friday March 5th, 2021 7:05:22 PM
'Osul looks as he flexes the fingers on his left hand. As an elemental there is nothing there, but as a human there is a non-magical crystalline ring in the shape of a dragon that changes colors - a Yuletide gift, and a reminder that he really should get that armor sorted - not that it would have helped in this situation.
"Alive, both!", 'Osul calls upwards like the howling wind through a canyon. He looks for any flaws or developing flaws in either stone, but particularly the large sphere [i]{Perception:54}[i]. He points it out to Atlas if he arrived/arrives. Otherwise he calls, "Oh, and Dragon claw and horn marks on the shiny thing!"
Back in whispy tones, he asks Elyngael, "Baby dragon's first hoard? I want to investigate, but I'm keen to get us back up to the rest of the Wardens. Maybe we can discuss it with all of us", he adds, pointing at the 15' sphere. If she agrees to leave (and hasn't already left with Atlas), he flies them up.
Armand (Robert D)AC 25/touch 11/flat 24 HP 91/112 CMD 24 Character Sheet Saturday March 6th, 2021 4:41:00 PM Is that cloud magical? Armand had detect magic up with the True Sight.
"I don't like the looks of that cloud/fog. Hurry up." He calls down into the pit. He then calls out in a loud voice directed upward. "Look we're here to see what's been causing trouble for the humans on the surface. We are perfectly willing to work out a peaceful solution!
If the cloud descends to where it would block the pit and there's still party members down there he will have Dispel Magic ready to cast on the cloud.

Elyngael tells Atlas "Get me out of here." To 'Osul she says, "I think we may need your spells before Atlas's or my weapons. Some of the flecks on these rocks reminds of the poop I found on the trail. I hope we're not in a toilet. We may want to collect that adamantine when this is over."
Brawn will stay put. I would position myself out of the pit but I guess I'm waiting on Atlas.

Vamir shudders as the freezing cloud decends upon him, and quickly flies backward to AN 27.

Owen looks out across the gap, making sure no enemies come out while the party is distracted. Perception: 25.
DM(James M) - Map - 6 - In the Tunnels Monday March 8th, 2021 8:41:53 AM Osul called up to those above that they were alright and then discussed with Elyngael what they have found in the pit. Armand looked at the cloud that suddenly formed above the pit and called down into the pit that he didn't like the look of it. He then addresses an unseen being in the tunnels. Neshi flew forward slowly. The fog was like thick syrup that impeded his movement. Once he was out Neshi was once more free to move as quickly as before. He hovered in the air and tried to shake off the cold. Elyngael called up to Atlas and requested a lift out of the pit. She states that the rainbow colors reminded her of the scat she found on the trail and that the rock those flecks were on was made of adamantine. Atlas arrived at the bottom of the pit and lifted Elyngael up as he proceeded to carry her out. Vamir comments on the chill of the cloud and moves out of it before healing his wounds then he looks around for enemies. Owen kept watch.
Osul nearly filled the pit with his elemental wind form as he watched Atlas arrive to wisk Elyngael away. Half a minute later the two were clear of the pit. (DM: Go ahead and mark your location on the map. - Atlas, Elyngael, Osul)
Armand examined the cloud with his vision and saw it was indeed magical in nature. There was no answer to Armand's call. Highlight to display spoiler: {10 minutes remaining on spell. There is also some residual magic coming from the bottom of the pit inside the cloud of dust there.}
Vamir cast his gaze around but saw nothing to indicate where the caster of that cloud might be.
Owen had climbed the wall of the tunnel a bit so he could see above those walking along the bottom as he watched out for anything that might come out of the pit or shaft above.
Meanwhile the cloud of freezing fog hovered in the air. Neither did it rise or sink as ice crystals formed on anything it touched.

I'm not that good at identifying what spells might be used though, Owen or Neshi?"
When 'Osul rises in range Armand will channel to heal up everyone within 30 feet. Everyone is healed 36 hp damage. (8d6)
"You know we need to start thinking outside of the box. Any one have something that they can summon that would be able to dig a side tunnel up an and around that ceiling hole? I know we can summon earth elementals, but they don't tend to leave a tunnel we could follow." Armand looks around for ideas.

Elyngael asks Vamir, "What type of burrowing creature? Can Melzat do any digging with his roots?" She dusts herself off and checks her weapons out of habit. She's not sure what's best but still has her bow out for now.
Huge Air Elemental-'Osul(Graham) AC:16 (T:12, FF:12), CMD:29, ST:(F12/R11/W23 + RNL), HP:83/96, Wildshape(XVII):6, L. Lord:15, S. Burst:14 Tuesday March 9th, 2021 7:30:18 AM
No apparent flaws in the sphere - cool. Maybe the cold fog is supposed to induce the fracturing of the sphere. I'm not expecting it to waft all the way down there now.
'Osul hums a simple, repetitive tune as he follows Atlas and Elyngael back up to the landing.
DM(James M) - Map - 8 - In the Tunnels Tuesday March 9th, 2021 8:45:34 AM Armand remarked on the magical nature of the cloud and the lingering magic at the bottom of the pit. As Osul, Elygael, and Atlas came within range he channeled energy to heal everyone around him. Neshi looked down into the cloud of dust settling in the bottom of the pit but was unable to see the bottom or any of the objects there. It would likely take a few minutes without an air elemental in the pit before that dust cloud settled. Vamir offered to become a burrowing creature but thought it unlikely anyone would be able to follow him. Owen cast dispel magic at the cloud. Elyngael asked about the types of burrowing creatures Vamir might choose and if Melzat might be able to burrow. After checking her equipment all is well and mostly dust free if not soiled from being buried in dirt. Osul returned to the top of the pit shaft after examining the sphere.
Owen's incantation created a nullifying effect on the freezing cloud that hung in the air and even as his spell ended the cloud started to dissipate as a harmless fine mist descended upon the ground around them. With the cloud gone those able could see the shaft above and could briefly see that was over 120' high as it vanished into the dark underground.
Osul and Neshi's windy natures are also starting to pick up debris from the loose soil around them and thus hampering vision. As they get closer to the shaft visibility is decreased to 60' for everyone.
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 35 (T 17 FF 28) , CMD: 34, HP 167/153 Tuesday March 9th, 2021 3:24:00 PM
Atlas moves to the other side of the pit and waits for the others to voice their opinions on how to proceed. "I'm happy to go wherever however, but my boots don't have much time left on this use, so I might need a boost if we're going up. Need to save the last use for emergency only."
Armand (Robert D)AC 25/touch 11/flat 24 HP 112/112 CMD 24 Character Sheet Tuesday March 9th, 2021 5:28:03 PM
Armand cast Create Water (as a downpour) over the area of the pit, (30 gallons may be more like a single sheet of wet) in order to settle the debris and clear visibility. (If necessary he can do it a couple of times.)
"Be nice if we could carve a ladder or something into the wall. I can cast Air Walk once, so maybe on Brawn and then he at least can carry us up one at time." He looks over to Melzat. "I'm not sure how to go about getting Melzat up the shaft. I assume we need to go up. It would be unlikely that there's a secret passage in the bottom of the pit trap."

Vamir turns to Elyngael, "Ican turn into a mole, gopher, armadillo, badger just large sized. Most of them have a decent burrow speed. My only question would be can the party follow me? Melzat is not a burrower at all." Vamir ponders for a moment (Knowledge Nature DC 29).

Armand cast create water twice to clear the air of the dust and dirt created by the falling debris in a brief downpour in the area of the pit. Everyone on the far side of the pit was wet, but the dust was gone. He commented on a means to climb the shaft. Vamir listed the animals he could change into but questioned whether any could follow him. Elyngael directs Brawn to move up. Neshi move to the end of the tunnel and held up his light to peer at the wall in front of him. Aside from claw marks that ended here he saw nothing to indicate a secret passage or opening there. Osul offers to bring in a purple worm, but doubts he could direct its course.
Vamir Highlight to display spoiler: {If by large size, you mean like a horse, then you should be able to leave behind a hole large enough for a medium sized creature to move through. Especially since the roots of the grass seem to be holding the ground firmly enough to not collapse. Also, while the water has settled the dust here, Vamir suspects that continued air currents as they proceed will cause more dusty conditions further along in the tunnels.}
With the dust settled the Wardens were once more able to see up into the shaft. There at the top Armand saw something.
Armand Highlight to display spoiler: { There appears to be a platform of sorts at the top of the shaft on the east side that hangs out into the shaft. }

Vamir stops for a moment, "I should be able to leave behind a hole large enough for most of us to move through. However, Melzat, and Brawn would still have issues. The roots of the grass seem to be holding the ground firmly enough to not collapse.

Neshi hears Armand's comment.
Why dont I fly up there and tie off a rope on something and then you all can use the rope to aid the climb?

DM(James M) - Map - 12 - In the Tunnels Thursday March 11th, 2021 8:42:37 AM Atlas also liked the wind walk idea. Armand endorsed windwalk. Vamir talked about burrowing. Neshi suggested getting a rope at the top might be better. Owen agreed that a rope had its benefits. Elyngael reminds everyone that Brawn can't climb a rope. Osul cast airwalk on Brawn and Melzat
Neshi started to float upwards into the shaft. As he did so he noticed the claw marks on the sides as similar to those they'd seen below. When he got close to the top he saw a cylinder shaped rock with a stone platform laid across it and hanging a little out over the shaft itself. If he had an extra 20' of rope he'd be able to tie it around that platform, but they'd have to watch the weight they put on it. No more than one person at a time or it would pull the platform down on them.

To my way of thinking worrying about getting out is unnecessary as this is go one of three ways. One whatever is at the end kills us all. Two whatever is at the end we kill. Three whatever is at the end can be negotiated with. If it's 1 then getting out doesn't matter. If it's two or three then we will likely be able to rest and recover spells. And as another option of last resort....I still have Longbranch's branch he gave us that when we break it, it opens a vortex passage back to home."

Atlas blinks and somehow ends up with everyone else, unsure if it was his boots (that he thought had expired), the fun rope climb (that was so simple he didn't even feel it with his massive muscular frame), or a spell one of the others cast on him (they are quite handy in that way). No matter how it happened, he's ready to take on whatever might be waiting for them.

DM: Sorry about Friday's post. I thought I had it covered. If you guys would like to double up this week on one just let me know in an email. Note that there is a new map with Ortho and Cross section. Please place your PCs on the Ortho and if you'd like to remain flying put your altitude on the cross section map.
Atlas Offered to climb the rope first. Armand suggested they all fly to the top of the shaft. Elyngael mounted Brawn so as to ride him while he airwalked. Vamir cast his spells and followed everyone up last. Neshi flew up and watched at the top of the shaft. Osul also took up the rear. Owen moved up the shaft.
At the top of the shaft they saw a rough rock cylinder with a stone platform balanced upon it. Recent scrapes upon the platform revealed that this was likely the resting place of the rock before it came through the ceiling upon them. There was no mechanism here that would have triggered the fall however and given the position of the cylinder and platform the latter would likely have fallen as well unless something prevented it.
As for the tunnel, it continued along for as far as they could see as it turned to the left. At the bend in the tunnel it was smoky or hazy. (See map)

Neshi takes a moment to use one of his blood line spells and casts Protection from energy - cold upon himself.
DM(James M) - Map - 19 - In the Tunnels 16d10=74 ; Wednesday March 17th, 2021 8:54:39 AM Atlas spurs the wardens on with his advice to not tarry. Armand attempted to negotiate with an unseen something in the tunnels. Elyngael tried to reinforce Armands words with her own. Neshi added that the cloud thing ahead smelled like smoke and he suspected something draconic lay ahead of them. Vamir readied himself as Melzat moved forward. Osul moved forward and searched his memory a bit more.
Armand - Highlight to display spoiler: { DM: Character moves. Hehe. I did that. I didn't see him on the map at all so I placed him where I knew you'd notice. }
Armand tried to talk to whatever was up ahead but before he had a chance to breathe after his utterance a bolt of crackling electricity shot out of the smoke and through the darkness directly at him. It went over Atlas' head and barely missed Brawn and Elyngael. Armand was going to be dead center, he was doomed. Fortunately for the priest the bolt of lightning dissipated before it reached him. Osul however wasn't so lucky as he was caught in it's path.
Osul - Highlight to display spoiler: {Reflex Save DC 27 for Half; Damage 74 hp.}
A moment later there was a maniacal cackling as something heavy moved along ahead of them somewhere.

Shocked by the suddeness of the attack, Nesi is kind of glad to be up and away.
As Elygael mentions the cloud, Neshi moves within about 4 feet of it and lets loose with a "Gust of wind" spell, hoping that will dissapate it.
DM(James M) - Map - 21 - In the Tunnels Thursday March 18th, 2021 7:51:29 AM
The attempt to dissipate the cloud worked, but like before when there was excess wind in the tunnel it kicked up a cloud of dust that rolled out and away in all directions. The effect was to limit vision to sixty feet.
Although the tunnel dead ended here there was a turn to their left that went as far as they could see.

So two options face our intrepid adventurers.
Once the dsut settles the group moves forward about 120 feet and finds there is a decision to be made. There is a passage to the left that seems to be the direction from which the voice came out of, that tunnel seems to go on straight for goodly distance, so that the party can't see whaere or if it turns or ends.
And then there is the partially obscurred area still in front of the group that appears to go on for about 90 feet more where there seems to be a wall. The good elven eyes of the party can see what may be a 3 foot in diameter, dark filled, rough hole (tunnel) going into the wall leading to who knows where?

DM(James M) - Map - 23 - In the Tunnels Monday March 22nd, 2021 11:20:20 AM Vamir searched the ground in front of the hole in the tunnel wall for signs of passage. Melzat stayed near him. Atlas expressed his frustration. Armand thought the small hole might be a trap. Elyngael questioned if the dragon might be able to turn around in the tunnels. Owen was getting excited about the thought of encountering a dragon. Osul sat back in thought.
Vamir - Highlight to display spoiler: {Vamir searched the ground and the hole for a bit and saw no evidence that anything moved through the small 3' diameter tunnel at the end of the 30' diameter tunnel. He did see some crystalized fragments that appeared to be melted dirt. Possibly from an electrical charge passing near the surface of the tunnel. The small tunnel itself had a cloud of freezing air inside it that he recognized from before. He didn't stick his hand completely inside, but knew his hand would freeze if he did.}
With dust continuing to circulate in the tunnel complex visibility was a problem. It seemed that the burst of air had pushed the dusty cloud of debris tens if not hundreds of feet along in all directions.
Meanwhile the sounds of the large creature moving about in the tunnels faded until they were once again isolated here in the silent darkness.
DM Notes about the map: Since we have so many flying people I felt it necessary to show altitude on the map. That actually saved most of you with that lightning bolt since it had to be fired in 3D space. The Top Down is a traditional map showing your location and the altitude view shows how far off the floor you are.

Armand cast create water again and it worked in the immediate area, Elyngael continued to examine the tracks left by the dragon and moved closer to the ground. Owen identified the voice as an illusion. Osul made a comment about voices in your head. He seemed to have some experience with them. Vamir relates all he knows about the hole as Melzat touches down near him.
Armand's spell worked to clear the area near them but the dust cloud had traveled too far and vision was still obscured outside the area of his spell.
Elyngael - Highlight to display spoiler: {The dragon appears to be really really big. About the size of a sailing ship. About 50-60' long she'd guess. }
With the dust cloud somewhat clear they could see that the tunnel turned to the right and continued along for a bit before the particles in the air obscured vision too much to see. Osul thought he might be able to see above the debris cloud if he concentrated enough. The tracks here did look fresher than those they'd seen in the tunnels below.

Owen moved up with the others. Neshi commented about the dragons size. Atlas remarked about the dragons size and whistled. Vamir and Melzat took up the rear as they followed the rest of the Wardens. Osul looked into the dust cloud and saw that the tunnel turned back to the right.
Armand cast his create water spell once more and cleared the area of dust, yet the tunnel ahead was still cloudy with the debris that moved along in the enclosed space. Osul however was able to see from his vantage point as were some of the others since the cloud did seem to be thinning. Of the dragon they saw nothing as they moved along.

DM(James M) - Map - 30 - Ambush Anticipation Friday March 26th, 2021 9:05:23 AM
The dust was starting to settle and as the wardens approached the next turn in the tunnel they saw to the right the other half of the smaller hole they'd seen from the other side. This side looked like it had been dug out to leave a small tunnel large enough for the dragon's head. The deep footprints to either side of that tunnel indicated that the creature had leaned forward to look through the narrow passageway.
The intersection was unusual as well due to the rime of frost on everything. They recognized it from the cold cloud in the shaft leading up to this level and decided that a cold cloud must have been here until very recently.
Further along in the tunnels they could see that another shaft opened up, this one lead down.

Vamir shakes his head, and remembering how much damage Melzat took from the reavers the witch shudders just a little.

DM(James M) - Map - 31 - Ambush Anticipation Monday March 29th, 2021 9:59:34 AM Neshi stated that he expected the dragon to be on the other side of the hole. Owen tossed a stone down the tunnel. Armand used two of his scrolls. Elyngael called back to atlas who hadn't moved from the rear of the group. Vamir remembered the fight with the reavers and cast resist energy on Melzat. Osul examined the area where the cold cloud had been.
Osul, Elyngael, Brawn, and Armand moved up while the others hung back in the tunnel As Osul passed the frosted area he saw the familiar rime left by a cold cloud and decided it must be a special property of the dragon.
As they approach the shaft the distinctive smell of smoke reaches their noses as they realize that smoke is billowing up from the shaft ahead. Fortunately the smoke is not spreading as it might be difficult to breath inside that cloud of noxious mess.

Armand speculated that the dragon that used cold and had lightning breath might be undead. He also casts Protection from energy. Neshi moved forward a bit to catch up to the others. He also suggested allowing the casters to soften up the dragon with spells first. Vamir tried to talk to the others from the back as he yelled through the tunnel. He found no scales. Elyngael stopped everyone that could see her as she made hand signals to those behind her. Osul mused about the dragons tactics, whether it might have a pet, and the frosty rime on the ground at the intersection that was even now thawing rapidly.

He immediately casts rock to mud on the rock above the dragon (2 cubic feet / level) and as the mud settles in a five foot deep area around the dragon immedialtely Quicken casts mud to rock encasing the lower five feet of the dragon in rock.

The witch managing to avoid the worst of the damage (Reflex 37 for 44 damage) while Melzat is not quite so lucky as his roots seem to trip him up (Reflex 26 for 88 Damage). Neither of the two can manage to do anything else this round.

Atlas turns in surprise, but instead of trying to dodge the fire, he gives the dragon an angry snarl and crouches down behind his shield. At the last second he dips his head behind the shield, knowing it will hurt, but managing to avoid much of the damage.
As the fire fades, he stands and says, "It's about time."

DM(James M) - Map - 34 - Ambush Anticipation 8d6=26 ; d20+12=26 ; Wednesday March 31st, 2021 8:51:49 AM Osul cast quench which seemed to twist the dragons inside about a bit as it grimaced in pain. Neshi heroically dodged to the side as he rolled about in order to avoid arms legs and stomping feet as the dragon found it's purchase in the tunnel. Armand threw himself to the ground and avoided the worst of the firey breath. Vamir down the other end of the tunnel completely avoided the dragon's breath. DM: According to the map Melzat at Vamir are no where near the dragon, so no damage to Melzat. Elyngael was surprised by the dragons sudden appearance behind her. Atlas looks totally badass as he endures the brunt of the dragons breath from behind his shield.
Atlas crouched behind his shield as waves of blue-red flame parted around it. Singed hairs and burnt skin weren't in the cards for the tough warrior as he stood in the aftermath of the flame and declared he was ready to fight at last.
Neshi cast his spell and with his hair flying about as if blown from a strong wind he raised his hands and brought down a ceiling of mud upon the dragon. Even as the mud settled around the dragons feet he transformed that mud into stone. DM: The dragon takes 26hp from the falling mud. The dragon was wiley though and beat its wings down and lifted itself out of the hardening mud before it could be trapped.
Everyone was ready to fight, but the dragon had other thoughts as it intoned some ancient words and vanished a moment later.

A few seconds later the illusory voice returned. "I LOVE PLAYING WITH MY FOOD AND I SEE MY REAL OPPONENT FOR THE FIRST TIME. NEXT WE MEET...ATLAS...I'M CERTAIN YOU'LL BE AS TASTY AS YOU LOOK."

Atlas growls in frustration, then lifts his shield up into the air, shaking it with vigor, and yells, "I'm going to turn your skin into armor and feed the poor with your meat, and your teeth will make great bookends in our library. Just you freaking wait you coward!"
He takes a moment to compose himself, then looks to Neshi, "Hey, that was awesome, even if it didn't trap him, the idea was creative!"

Armand was just getting ready and then the dragon dissappeared. "Really? Didn't your parents ever teach you, that you really shouldn't play with your food? You would think that someone all hep on ruling the world would be in the market for some able henchmen to handle the daily drudgery tasks. And here you are wasting a possible recruitment opportunity along with waisting your chance for a meal. I'm sure you really make your parents proud." Armand puts as much scorn and pity in his voice as he can. Reverse? Diplomacy 19 (d20+18)

Grrrrrrrrrrr! Domi's nose hairs! Thanks Atlas, though I am not sure how it managed to avoid that. In any case, that won't likely work again so now I will have to think of something else. Atlas are you buffed enough? do need/want a stone skin or mage armor?

Vamir shakes his head, the anger in his eyes evident as he flys up to Osul and reaches out his hand. The witch casts heal on his friend. "Is this creature an outsider? Iam trying to formulate a plan if not, Iam going to have to figure out something else!"

Well, I don't know if it is an outsider or not, but it is multicolored and it's scales are like a rainbow of colors ranging from red to violet.
