Fearing this monster may be too powerful, Osul tries a little diplomacy but he sees no discernable change in the creature. It's either too smart or it's going to take a little more time for his attempt to be successful. Time the party probably can't afford.
Grindar picks up his axe and advances a little. He's prepared now for the monster to charge again.
Trellus releases enough healing to hit almost all of the group. He also expects the monster to charge again and edges towards Grindar.
Elyngael has a second look and notices that her first arrow did in fact strike it's target (my bad). The damage is not what she hoped, but she did indeed hurt it. She launches five more arrows at the beast. Three strike. The arrows aren't biting deep and the holy damage is ineffectual. The shock damage is working completely fine though!
Armand looks about for someone with a grease spell. He tries a couple of his own but things just don't go his way. His Holy Smite fails to affect the creature and his Searing Light spell misses its mark. This is not turning out to be a good day. Perhaps Wardd will make it up to him when they fight the dragon?
Moridark is banged up and bruised. He isn't quite sure what to do right now.
Neshi is a little beat up but it doesn't stop him from casting some spells. The creature has a long reach and swipes at the sorceror as he begins casting. (AoO hits AC44. Neshi takes 29pts damage! Neshi to make a concentration check vs DC45 or lose the disintegrate spell). The Cone of Cold goes off without a hitch and causes some real damage to the beast (Ref Save failed)
The Elemental flies back into the action and tries to slam the monster but misses on its attack.
The monster acts...
It lashes out at the pesky Air Elemental. The attack didn't look that significant, but the elemental completely blips away! (Dispel check: 36)
The remaining attacks are levelled at Neshi and Osul. (Hit AC42, 45. Neshi takes 28pts + 34pts damage! Hit AC45. Osul takes 18pts damage!)
Some of the frosty wounds heal over. It growls again at the party. It's a little louder and almost as if it's slowly getting it's voice back

Armand drops 5 feet and channels to heal. I think everyone except the monster and Brawn are in range. Healing 36 to everyone (8d6)
"Looks like Lighting definitely hurts it. I wonder what can stop it's regeneration?" Armand thinks to the group.
Armand again uses his metamagic rod of quicken and lays his last silence spell directly in front of the monster. DM - I want the back edge a few feet from it's mouth but so that the bubble then goes forward the 20 feet toward us, so the center would be around the crosshair of v/w 5/6 and 15 feet off the ground. Spell Resistance and Save should not come into play as I'm casting on the area and not the monster. I made a yellow circle for it.
"People, I'm putting a Silence spell up. It looks like he might be getting ready to sonic again. If he charges instead move to the otherside of the silence bouble to avoid another sonic burst." Armand thinks to the group.

Grindar moves forward a little bit, and hurls one of his javelins at the beast, but of course the thing glances harmlessly off the beast's armor. The ranger grumbles under his breath chiding himself for not purchasing the javelins of lightning like he considered doing. He orders Cotton to stay, as he fears that the beast may roar again, and he is hoping that Armand's zone of silence will protect them.

Neshi gets hit by the beast but with some herculean effort manages to keep his concentration on his spell and the disintegrate goes off and connects with the beast, and then gets hit twice more (OOC God I hope that disintegrate does its job). Neshi managing to keep himself upright makes a full retreat option and makes his way to the back of the group.

Armand heals the party a little more and then tries a different approach with a Silence spell by dropping it at the monsters feet. He warns the others to run to the other side of the spell if the beast charges across the tunnel. The Silence spell has a radius of 20ft (not 10ft) so the spell becomes wide enough to completely block the 30ft wide tunnel from any noise the monster makes on the other side.
Grindar gets closer and hurls a javelin at the creature but it's defelcts off its hide.
Elyngael continues firing regular arrows at the creature (knowing the adamantine ones aren't making a difference). Most creatures would drop from such an assault, but not this one. It's damage reduction protects it from a lot of the damage. She digs deep to fire some extra arrows at it
Neshi's disintegrate ray strikes the beast but it shrugs off most of the damage. Moridark tries the same but gets the same result. (Fort Saves both pass)
Osul knows that electricity damages it so tries to zap it with a little Lightning Lord but is unable to get through the creatures significant spell resistance. He can tell the creature is wounded but it still looks like it's going to put up a fight.
Trellus searing light spell fizzles and he wonders why they need to worry about the roar if they're already deaf. Unfortunately - much like objects - being deaf doesn't protect a person from sonic attacks. Armand's Silence spell on the other hand most certainly does.
The monster acts...
It looks like it has opened it's mouth to growl, but instead it takes a step forward to chomp into Osul! (Hit AC35,35,40,42. Osul takes 24 + 28 + 18 + 19 pts damage - not adjusted for DR. Dispel check: 25=Fail!).

Grindar singles to Cotton to move forward and attack. The albino rapke steps up to the beast and sinks her teeth in the tough hide (rolled a nat 20, but failed to confirm) inflicting 24 bite damage, plus 6 shock and 1 flame.
Grindar than follows his friend into battle, and attempts a vicious over-head chop, (Two handed attack with vital strike) but in his enthusiasm, he swings wild, and misses his mark.

Neshi casts a superbly aimed polar ray at the beast! It strikes and does a significant amount of damage, though it still appears as nimble as ever.
Elyngael keeps on firing! Like Neshi, she discovers that the creature isn't immune to critical damage which is good. Every point helps!
Osul opts to go defensive and treats some of the wounds he has endured.
Moridark's Magic Missile spell fails to go off and he laments that his disintegrate spell didn't have as much power as everyone was expecting.
Armand tries a spiritual weapon spell but it pops out of existence just as quickly as it arrived. He suggests the party might need to rest after this fight. Hopefully there aren't any dragons nearby who have heard this battle.
Trellus decides on a different approach this time. He ascends to get a clear shot at the monstrosity. What does he have planned?
Grindar sends Cotton into the mix. The rapke takes a solid blow as she approaches (AoO Hits AC36. Cotton takes 30pts damage). Cotton responds in kind though and tears away chunks of rocky hide. The sickly green blood runs from the wound and coats Cotton's mouth. Grindar follows his companion in but is distracted and flubs his attack.
The party have just done a heap damage. Surely another round like that and this battle will be over!
The monster acts...
It licks its lips and looks directly at Grindar. With great speed it snaps forward and grasps the half-orc firmly in its jaws, squeezing down on him tightly. (Hit AC53. Crit not confirmed on AC35. Grindar takes 26pts damage. Dispel check: 30. Grindar's Stoneskin is dispelled. CMB61. Grindar is grappled!). With it's remaining attacks it lashes out at Cotton. (Hit AC41, 44. Miss AC29. Cotton takes 32pts + 15pts damage!)
With Grindar stuck in its jaws, the creature is now preoccupied and an easier target! Will the party make the most of it? What is Trellus up to?

Grindar can't break free, but that's ok. His struggling makes it easier for Cotton to land a good 'chomp'.
Elyngael also takes advantage of a clearer shot to fire a direct hit with one arrow. The others fail to cause any damage.
Armand can see some of the party are still in a bad way. He zooms in closer and channels some healing energy while being careful not to heal the monster. His hearing is marginally better and should be back to normal in less than a minute (5rnds have passed)
Osul tries to lightning lord the monster again but just can't get past the spell resistance.
Moridark is finally able to get a magic missile away. It cuts through the stony hide without a problem.
With the monster grappling Grindar it's unable to attack, so Trellus takes the opportunity to get in close and strike
The monster acts...
It's jaws open wide and it drops Grindar to the ground. It has three meals lined up right in front of it and makes the most of it. (HitAC41. Grindar takes 28pts damage! Hit AC44. Trellus takes 28pts damage! Hit AC37. Miss AC33. Cotton takes 14pts damage! CMB55. Trellus is grappled! Dispel check: 32. Trellus's Resist Energy spell is dispelled!)
The creatures wounds are healing but certainly not at a rate that will keep it alive much longer.

Moridark breathes a sigh of relief with the healing and casts another magic missle at the beast hitting it for 16 damage.

It takes the combined efforts of the party to finally put the beast down. A combination of magic, arrows and blades. Trellus slips from the creatures mouth, covered in the same spittle that landed over Grindar. Nothing a good bath (and laundry) won't fix though.
The party are pretty banged up but everyone is still alive. Cotton still has the creatures blood dripping from her teeth.
Now that the creature is dead Moridark is able to safely approach it and get a better view. He determines that it was some sort of Behemoth, but not one that even he's heard of before. That the party were able to defeat it at all is a huge achievement.
Even though it's down and not moving, it's body is already starting to heal. Osul isn't sure what will stop the regeneration completely, but he has a lot of knowledge about anatomy and healing. He can tell that it's regenerating at a slower rate now that it's 'dead', but it's still regenerating. If Moridark is correct in his assessment that this is a behemoth (and he's almost always correct), there isn't a way to suppress it. Between the two of them the best guess is that the monster will be up again in a few hours.

Not liking the fact that it is still regenerating even after dead, Neshi comments and questions.

The party stand around their kill and discuss and whether there might be a way to stop it from regenerating. Burning it, destruction spell, severing it's head. Lot's of suggestions.
Elyngael doesn't understand why it doesn't just stay dead. Unfortunately creatures like this cannot die as long as their regeneration is still functioning. Unless there's a way to permanently stop the regeneration it will just keep getting back up.
The party do have the luxury of a couple of hours to work it out. For now, spells are recast and healing provided to the injured.

Armand determines that both the creatures regeneration and resistances are natural.
The creature burrowed up through the floor. The ground is uneven and doesn't allow for another passage. The only option is forward.
Trellus brings out the heal stick and treats almost all (all?) wounds. If the party are going to face some dragons then they're going to need to be at full strength. Neshi is a little worried though... will the party be any match for TWO dragons?
Moridark stays waaaay in the back.
The tunnel is cold and dark and the party are very on edge. They need to get the job done quick - before that creature heals itself.
As they lead the party forward both Grindar and Elyngael think they hear noises ahead, but it's probably just their imaginations. The slightest sound, a water drop or trinket that rattles echoes through the vast underground structure.

The party trudge onwards. It's subtle but it soon becomes clear the tunnel is leading you downwards, deeper under the mountain. Without being able to see outside it's difficult to determine exactly how deep you are.
You're in battle formation and waiting for a dragon (or worse!) to make an appearance. For the time being though there are no signs of movement. There aren't any tremors either which is probably also a good thing.
Grindar and Elyngael see it first and the rest of the party soon after. There's a crossroad ahead.
The passage to the left smells foul. Terrible! You aren't sure of the source - you can't see anything in particular - but the smell. Ugh! With their heightened sense of smell, Cotton and Brawn are not going to enjoy heading that way.
From the passage on the right you can hear the faint sound of running water, like that of a stream. It's a faint 'tinkling' sound and not that of a wild river. The sound echoes off the rocky walls.

Sane ones or insane ones Armand?
My best guess in charnel pit or manure pile to the left but with crazed/insane dragons who knows. I say we try the right.
If they head down the right path, Neshi will wait until they are all past him and then he will cast two web spells across the opening to the left passage, and then catch up to his regular place in order (base speed is 70)

DM RobC - "Hmm, what do we know about the preferred habitats of dragons?" Wednesday February 16th, 2022 1:17:51 AM
The consensus is that the left trail leads to a latrine of sorts. Definitely not the sort of place you are keen to check out right now. The right passage sounds (and smells) the better idea.
With no sense of the outside it's hard to tell exactly how long you follow the passage. Time feels like it goes by differently underground and you feel like you may have walked for an hour. The faint sound of running water is always ahead of you but never seen.
You can see light ahead though and the tunnel widens into a vast domed, hall. The noise has grown loud now and you can see where it comes from. From high up this hall water gently falls through a wide hole in the roof and into a large pool below. A magnificent sight. Sunlight reflects through the roof and through the water and forms a rainbow down here in the mines. Cool damp air filled with oxygen fills your lungs. This place is so beautiful one would forget why you are here.
Tucked deep into the shadows and away from the light are carcasses of what you would assume were dragon meals. The left over remains of cows, horses, and other large beasts. Insects now crawl over the mangled skeletons, devouring what little meat is left.
Beyond the waterfall though you can see a more palatable sight. A dragon hoard. Gold and silver objects sparkle in the light.
There's no dragon here though.
The cavern is 150ft across at its widest point and easily that high at its peak.

Armand will airwalk above the top of the cave mouth (assuming the cave mouth is still only 30 feet high, he doesn't want to leave his back exposed).

Armand isn't sure exactly on the time but gauges the walk was close to an hour. Any short term spells have expired but it's reasonable to say that he recast any of his choosing on seeing this cavern. He airwalks just above the lip of the tunnel to get a better view inside.
Trellus casts a True Seeing spell and scans the cavern. He doesn't see anything out of the ordinary, but his vision doesn't quite make it all the way to the other side of the cavern nor to the ceiling.
Grindar doesn't feel good about this at all. An unprotected dragon hoard? Something's not right.
Osul is ready to move on. Their bounty isn't here.
Elyngael wonders if dragons can hold their breath or can be aquatic. There is enough knowledge in the group to confirm that yes - dragons can hold their breath for quite some time. In fact, white dragons are particularly good swimmers too. She moves away from the group and starts making her way along the wall. Brawn covers the rear of the group.
Moridark hangs back. He surmises that it's probably safer behind the party right now.
Water continues to fall into the pool. Elyngael can't see the bottom of it from where she stands, but she's quite sure it isn't just a couple of feet deep. The carcasses piled on the eastern wall are in various stages of decay. Some of the bones look dry and old, though some still have hunks of flesh that are covered in crawling and flying insects. It's clear to most of you that the blood pooling underneath some of these bodies is still wet. These are recent kills.
Please position yourselves on the map. If you want to remain in the tunnel you can leave yourself at the bottom.

The group are conflicted. Sticking close together means being a bigger target. That lesson was lesson from the last fight! Spreading out could mean some distance between the casters and fighters. It might be tricky to find a middle ground.
Neshi is in favor of spreading out and it seems the rest of the group agree with that approach.
Elyngael keeps her attention split between the pool of water and the pile of gold. She's ready for something to spring out but right now isn't sure from where. She only speaks in whispers and keeps her back to the wall so she can keep her eyes on both.
Grindar and Cotton keep advancing, albeit slowly. They're a bit beefier than the rest of the party, and if there's an ambush they can take more of a beating than the rest. Of course they're also both strong enough to crack a dragon skull in half, so they have that going for them too.
Armand pays attention to the carcasses and notes they are in three distinct piles: two smaller and one larger. If there's a dragon hiding in the piles it would have to be quite small. A young adult or perhaps an adult at very most. He casts a protection spell that also benefits those close to him.
Trellus decides to be the brave one and edges ever so cautiously towards the pool. The falling water is slowly churning and disturbing the surface. Despite the light pouring in from above he can't see anything in the dark pool.
Osul decides that a water elemental is called for. No point putting the party in danger. He starts summoning the extraplanar aid.
Moridark hangs back with Osul and Brawn. As soon as he has a target it's on.

Osul summons his Water Elementals next to the pool and bids them to enter it and have a look around. He doesn't know what they see and - with them being out of earshot - he's not able to communicate with them.
Grindar holds his ground. Something is going to attack soon. He can feel it.
Trellus waits to cast a defensive spell.
Armand casts a Detect Magic spell and looks around. There is a magical aura everywhere he looks. It will take some time to learn more.
Moridark also waits.
Inside the cavern Neshi begins casting a spell. The sound of the incantation bounces around the domed covern, echoing his words for all to hear and making the presence of the adventurers very clear. This is somewhat the opposite of the stealthy approach Elyngael had been taking.
From above the waterfall and out of sight the party hear parts of a conversation.
"Now mother?" The voice is deep-toned and the words clearly spoken. The response - though deep - is more feminine than the first. "It sounds like they have arrived. Fly, but don't play with your food". You hear it saying more, but you can't hear the details. It sounds like an incantation though. Moridark knows that it's not uncommon for powerful dragons to have the ability to cast spells.
The white dragons dive down through the hole in the ceiling. Two 'smaller' ones twisting and spiralling as they dive. A much larger one follows them and slows to a hover.
Trellus casts his spell as he sees them swoop in his direction. It offers him some protection but not enough. He takes a glancing blow from each dragon as they fly by in opposite directions. (Hit AC39. Hit AC40. Crit not confirmed on AC25. Trellus takes 14pts + 18pts damage not yet adjusted for Stoneskin)
The gargantuan dragon holds its position. "Drop your weapons. You have already lost". Everyone make a Will Save vs DC26. Fail=shaken for 19rnds. This is a mind-affecting fear effect.

The Stoneskin spell saves him from more of a bruising. And his stubborness, plus a bunch of buffs, keeps him from soiling himself. [Will 39 - save]
Nevertheless, its very difficult not to notice he's surrounded by dragons.
The man moves toward a wall, and reaching it, casts Spell Resistance. Reaching into his reserves, he casts again to strengthen his attack. (Divine Power).
He plans to use the arrows next round. ------ Move 30' Cast Spell Resistance Use Hero Point for extra action to cast Divine Power

Moridark shrugs off the effects of the dragon (Will DC45). The mage flies at a 45 degree anle to P22 where he casts maze on the gargantuan dragon. "If nothing else that will buy us a round to try an ddeal with the younger two' moridark thinks through the telepathic bond.

Osul decides now is a good time to bring the ceiling down. It's a great idea! (Osul gets a hero point for a smart play)
The larger dragon is hovering below the opening in the roof and has no rocks overhead. The smaller dragon is smashed by the falling rocks and is immediately pinned underneath the rubble. (Highlight to display spoiler: {FYI... "You must have a clear line of effect to the point of origin of any spell you cast" so can't center it within the walls. See my post on the Rules forum which would help you even more anyway})
Grindar calls out a challenge to the dragon and regrets not having some method to get up and into the fight. Someone else in the party might be able to help him with that, but for now he's grounded.
If these dragons can cast spells (and sounds like they can) then Armand wants some protection. He casts Spell Resistance on himself in preparation.
Elyngael draws one of her specially purchased slaying arrows. She lines up her shot and manages a direct hit. The dragon doesn't look like it was affected the way she had hoped. (Highlight to display spoiler: {FYI... "the arrow deals 100 points of damage if the saving throw is failed". If the saving throw is made then it does damage as a +1 arrow would + any bow bonuses. Roll damage and I'll add it})
2 dragons would have been bad enough, but 3? Trellus wants to make his attacks count so casts a spell to help.
Neshi is stunned and not sure what to do.
Moridark wants to get closer to the action to maze the gargantuan dragon. He flies dangerously close to the smaller one just to get within range. With a good line he casts the Maze spell and is no doubt surprised when nothing happens. The dragon is still here! Moridark realizes something bad. Something very, very bad. There is an antimagic field surrounding the dragon. If they're going to defeat it they're going to have to be clever about it.
One of the small dragons is buried underneath a pile of rock. You can't tell what it does, but it reappears in the northeast corner of the cavern. You recall these dragons like to teleport. It's likely they can only do so a certain number of times per day. If it's only once per day, well, this one won't be escaping again. It flies south and above Cotton and Neshi.
The other small dragon bites at Moridark as it flies past him (Hit AC32. Moridark takes 15pts damage!). "Mmm... Fresh meat!"
The larger dragon smirks at Grindar's taunt but says nothing. It flies southerly and then with a wingover above Trellus and Elyngael it turns and exhales it's breath weapon, covering the party in a frigid blast of wind. (Everyone - except Cotton & Trellus - takes 56pts cold damage. Ref Save vs DC30 for half.). It flies back to what it considers the relative safety beneath the hole in the ceiling.

Grindar fails his reflex save, but with his improved evasion and resist energy, he takes no damage anyway.
Seeing that dragon L is within javelin range, Grindar moves closer and hurls a pointy stick of death, drawing it as he moves. His +1 javelin hits AC 28 for 19 damage. Cotton moves to stay close to her master.
As he is hurling his javelin, he uses the telepathic link and says, "Can anyone get me within ax range of these whitehands?" He also says in a voice dripping with sarcasm, "You'll have to do better than that if you you want to harm me your majesty."

Reflex save 28 (d20+10) Armand tries to duck and just takes it. Fortunately his spell takes the damage. The dragon is too close for comfort. He replies mentally to Grinder "I can't get to you right now."

Damage from last round's arrow: normal d8+6=10, electrical d6=6, holy 2d6=7 However, see below the descriptor clearly says 100 points damage if the save is made.
However the description of the arrow reads: "This +1 arrow is keyed to a particular type or subtype of creature. If it strikes such a creature, the target must succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save or take 50 points of damage. Note that even creatures normally exempt from Fortitude saves (undead and constructs) are subject to this attack. When keyed to a living creature, this is a death effect (and thus death ward protects a target).A greater slaying arrow functions just like a normal slaying arrow, but the DC to avoid the death effect is 23 and the arrow deals 100 points of damage if the saving throw is failed.
Elyngael is glad that at least she had resist energy up. Elyngeal targets the large nearby dragon with her last greater slaying arrow of Dragon, that 'Osul gave her and takes 1 shot. Using Pinpoint targeting, (standard action, single ranged attack, no armor or shield bonus on 1 attack = in essence hitting it's touch AC).

The way the slaying arrow reads in both the rule book and the SRD states the fortitude save is for the death effect. If the save is made the arrow then deal 50 or 100 points damage depending on if it is regular or greater. Additional damage? normal d8+6=14, electrical d6=4, holy 2d6=7

Moridark whinces as both the smaller dragon bites him, and the larger hits him with his breath weapon. Moridark concentrates, and flies down to Trellus.

The party have a chance to regroup and focus their efforts.
Grindar hurls a javelin at the dragon within reach of him. It's a solid strike and hits the soft flesh under the dragon's wing. He calls out loud a taunt to the dragon while at the same time asking for someone in the party to help get him in the fight.
Right on time, Osul zig-zags through the crowd of enemies to get close enough to cast an airwalk spell on the half-orc
Moridark takes a similar approach and makes his way over to Trellus to gift him a Fly spell.
Armand doesn't want to make himself a target of these dragons so goes defensive with a sanctuary effect.
Neshi orders the air elemental to attack and then follows up with a clenched fist. The dragon takes the blows but still flies and isn't stunned.
Elyngael pulls out another slaying arrow. Her aim is just as precise as before but the dragon avoids the harmful part of it.
Trellus piles on and attacks the same dragon. His dragon bane arrow hits a soft spot and his subsequent shot finishes it off. The dragon makes a sickly gurgling noise and then crashes into the ground, sliding to a stop. He still has the other slaying arrow at his disposal.
The smell of fresh blood and meat drives the bugs into a frenzy. Several swarms break from the rotten remains and seek new meals - dead or alive.
"NOOOO!!!" The gargantuan dragon stretches it's wings and soars down to attack Trellus. "I WILL TEAR YOU APART!" The dragon draws so close that Trellus can feel his magic drain away in the anti-magic field. The dragon's response to the death of her son is vicious to say the least. (Flyby within 10ft of Trellus for the AM field to be in effect. Power Attack + Gtr Vital Strike. Hit AC48. Nat20. Crit confirmed on AC42. Trellus takes ... 121pts damage. No Stoneskin). It circles back to fly in the light of the waterfall - though not as high this time. "PRAY TO WHATEVER YOUR GOD AS YOU'LL SOON BE MEETING HIM!" The threat is delivered to all.
The other dragon is somewhat alarmed by what has just happened. It moves away from the elemental to get a better view of Neshi. (Hit AC33. Neshi takes 17pts damage!)

Grindar thanks Osul for the airwalk spell, and orders Cotton to retreat towards Brawn's location. With the fall of the one dragon, and the anti-magic shield in place around the momma, he moves towards the second smaller dragon. He can't quite get into ax range, so he stays just outside the dragon's reach, and hurls another javelin, using vital strike. The +1 pointy stick hits AC 32 for 17 damage. he is none to keen about the bug swarms, remembering a time, back on the Sargrass Plains, when he was almost killed by a swarm of bugs. He communicates via the mental link saying, "Pantheon's gavel! I hate swarms."

If I'm outside the antimagic field and shoot a bow, shouldn't magic affecting my aim (ie atk bonuses) still be in effect? It's only when the arrow enters the field that its magic goes away, but that doesn't deflect the shot.
Trellus grins to see his target go down, only to lose it quickly when the mother swoops in. Pain buffets the man, quickly replaced by the soothing healing of Osul's spell. It's been an eventful few seconds.
Whispering a prayer to Domi for assistance with his aim, Trellus follows Neshi's lead, and fires away at the big one. He keeps the slaying arrow in his quiver.

Grindar has bad memories of swarms. He keeps his attention on the dragons though and hurls another javelin at it.
Neshi piles on - again - with more attacks against the same dragon and delivers a whole lot of damage to it. He tries to finish it off with a polymorph spell but it manages to withstand it.
Osul meanwhile swoops in to help Trellus and delivers some much needed healing. He's unable to loop back and cast at the same time so stays next to Trellus. (Highlight to display spoiler: {I think you need flyby attack to do a standard action in the middle of a flight. If Osul can I'll correct things}).
Armand goes to help Elyngael with a bit more defense. It may not make much difference against the antimagic field but it will help against everything else.
Elyngael and Trellus decide to focus on the big dragon. Collectively they fire a total of 9 arrows - which is pretty impressive. Their magic still works at range but the magic of their arrows fades as soon as it gets close to the dragon. None of the arrows manage to pierce the monsters thick hide.
Moridark remembers his training and recalls that antimagic fields can't be dispelled. Either the caster has to cancel it, or, you have to wait it out. He wants to move away from Trellus, but that summoning spell takes all of his concentration and time. (Highlight to display spoiler: {Full action to cast})
The younger dragon looks terrible. Bloodied and beaten, it's practically gone to meet it's maker. One good shot will likely finish it off. He isn't going to quit so goes in pursuit of Cotton and Brawn. As it swoops down it misses the rapke and snaps harmlessly at the air (Miss AC22. Nat1!)
Swarm 1 and Swarm 2 are making their way towards some food.
Swarm 3 surrounds Neshi and latches on to the taur. (Neshi takes 1pt Con Damage and must make a DC17 Fort save or be nauseated!)
The larger dragon has had enough playing around. It dives in to attack again but this time doesn't retreat! It lands on the ground and bites at Armand! (Power Attack + Gtr Vital Strike. Hit AC40. Armand takes 99pts damage. No Stoneskin). What's more, Osul, Trellus, Armand and Elyngael are all within 10ft of it. All magic on them stops working at this range - including flight, magical quivers and wildshape!

Armand see's his blood go spattering and wonders how he is still alive. "Fight well my friends. Fight well." Armand takes a 5 foot step up and channels to heal (it's a god granted power so I'm assuming it's not a spell and not subject to the antimagic field, also it doesn't provoke) and selective channels the dragon out of the healing. Everyone in 30 feet of Armand (except the dragon) gets a pathetic 28 points healing.

This is not going well. Elyngael takes a 5 foot step back so she is out of the 10 foot radius of the antimagic area (so all her magic will at least count to hitting the dragon).

Moridark finishes his spell and a Roc appears next to the young dragon. The Roc attacks with two claws (AC32 for 11 points, AC22 for 15 points) and then bites out with his beak (AC39, nat 20 AC 27 to confirm 30 points if crit, 12 if not).
Moridark then takes a deep breath and uses his dimensional steps to appear at Armands side (15 feet). The mage then gets a firm grip on Armand, and pulls backwards trying to clear the both of them from the field.

Grindar charges full-steam at the dragon. As he draws in the dragon grins and reaches out to devour him (AoO hits AC47. Crit Confirmed on AC38. Grindar takes 106pts damage!). Grindar does repay the favor though and slices a scale from the dragons neck.
Cotton readies to attack the smaller dragon is it swoops by him again. For now, it's too high and out of reach.
No matter though. Moridark's roc appears and promptly tears the wings of the smaller dragon. It falls in a bloody heap next to Brawn. Moridark dimensional steps over to Armand to try and pull him to safety.
Elyngael takes a step back and fires on the dragon. Three of her arrows manage to penetrate it's thick armor (OOC: Yep, please roll for the damage on the 3rd arrow). Brawn readies to take a bit out of the injured, smaller dragon.
Trellus isn't have a good day. He swaps his bow for a sword but just can't land a hit.
Neshi casts a Gust of Wind spell. It is strong enough to send all three swarms flying backwards 40 to 50ft. They fly across the top of the water but don't land in it. His air elemental has blipped from existence.
This is the end for Armand. He bids his friends farewell and tries to channel what energy he can, but it doesn't work. His supernatural abilities are no match against the antimagic field. He prepares for his appearance before Gargul.
Osul has other plans. He calls in Sphinx - for some reason - for everyone to run to the safety of the tunnels. As he goes he casts an Earthquake and shapes the spell directly on the ceiling above the dragon! It looks up and can do nothing as the rocks fall down on it, burying it under the rubble. (OOC: Please roll 8d6 damage).
Even though the dragon is buried and out of sight, you can still see the pile of rocks tremble and slightly move. The dragon is going to be free very soon.
Three more swarms emerge from the horse and cow carcasses.

Moridark, Grindar, Cotton and Brawn all seek the safety of the tunnel.
Neshi tries to bury the dragon a little more by quickly changing the rock to mud and then back again. The rocks turn into a solid protective shell. The rocks nearest the dragon could well be unaffected due to the antimagic field however but there's no way to tell.
Armand prepares to cast another earthquake spell. You'd have to think that if it can get out of one it could get out of another. At this point though it is enough just to slow it down in between attacks. Will it fall for the trap again?
Elyngael is ready to try and pour some oil down the gaps, however Neshi has sealed the rocks tightly.
Trellus takes to the air again. It's nice to have a moments rest.
Osul decides to take care of the swarms. He fire storms all the ones he can see, and then casts it over the rotten cacasses too, stirring up the hornets nest so to speak. The bones crackle and the roasted flesh smells like a very bad barbeque. Two of the swarms go up in smoke and a high pitched whine suggests another has disintegrated. The rest though are kicked into action. They flee their nests and attack the party! (Swarms: Each full action to run up to 120ft. All except Osul take 1pt Con Damage)
You can hear a rumbling from underneath the rock pile. The dragon may be slowed down but it is far from stopped.

Neshi grouses about the swarm and directs the hand to protect him from the swarm.
He then casts a rock to mud on the ceiling above her Highness, the buried dragon, dropping a whole lot of new earth material 5 ft deep on top of what is there and then quickly solidifies it again placing another layer of rock on top of the dragon.

The con damage doesn't seem to have much effect on Cotton, (lowered her Con from 19 to 18, so no HP loss) However Grindar falls over dead, from the loss of HP due to his Con loss, and his already dangerously low HP. As he falls, he thinks to himself, "This is a good pack, I hope they survive."
Cotton instinctively snaps at the swarm attacking her. Hitting AC 29, causing 23 damage, plus 4 flame and 3 shock and AC 24 causing 28 damage plus 3 flame and 5 shock.(Forgot to add in +4 for greater magic fang to attack rolls)

Assuming everyone steps away from their swarms (which is a pretty safe bet) Osul cooks them up. None of them survive the fiery blast, and having turned the carcasses into charcoal it's a safe bet there aren't any more to worry about.
Elyngael and Brawn keep an eye on the stone mound and are alert for any cracks. There are some fractures starting to appear but not for long.
Neshi drops even more rock on top of the dragon and solidifies it, making a nice rock coccoon. Between the two earthquakes and Neshi melting the ceiling, there is now a much wider hole in the ceiling than there was originally.
Grindar survived being attacked by a behemoth and went toe-to-toe with a gargantuan white dragon. In the end it was the bite of some flying insects that brings the ranger down. (Highlight to display spoiler: {}Putting this out there: "A character can spend 2 hero points to cheat death. How this plays out is up to the GM, but generally the character is left alive, with negative hit points but stable."
With Grindar having already passed over, Armand knows that his heal spell will not do the trick. He needs a Breath of Life spell at this point.
Trellus saves his Flame Strike spell since Osul has already fried all of the bugs.
Mordiark is safe once more and draws a potion.
It's quiet once more in the cave. You know there's a dragon buried under all that rock but can't be sure how long it will stay that way.

with the loss of the second constitution point, Neshi feels a bit drained even after Armand's spell.
Right now I would say she is temporarily trapped, and likely about to teleport out here somewhere.
My quickend casting is now used up, I can still drop the roof on her. as long as everyone is clear.
I also have a number of heavy duty fire based spells and a couple of other goodies but only if the anti-magic field is gone. otherwise I could drop a couple of bags of alchemists fire on her.

Moridark flies back down for the healing, and then drinks a potion. The mage feels a bit better. "That shell will last for a considerable amount of time. Longer than the roc Isummoned. Ihave a few direct damage spells, haste, and slow, but there is no telling how long she is going to be under the shell's protection."

Grindar takes a huge inhale as the air returns to his lungs. Turns out that that particular swarm was so weakened by the earlier blast of fire that it lacked enough bite to bring the ranger down. That was lucky!
Armand's Heal spell goes off perfectly and then he channels a little more to heal the rest of the party.
Osul is quite pleased but... now what?
The rest of the party consider the dilemma: what to do about the dragon? In fact, is there anything TO do? She's either trapped, dead, or waiting for something.
Elyngael suggests spreading out again. Staying clumped together could be bad if the dragon escapes
Trellus considers pulling back and regrouping. Wait out the antimagic spell and avoid any other dangers that might be lurking down here.
Neshi has dropped most of the roof down on top of the pile and can do so again. This particular section of ceiling is now wide open but everywhere else in the room is fair game.
Moridark drinks a potion of some kind and like the rest of the group, wonders how long the dragon will stay under it.
Overhead and outside the dome you can hear the familiar voice of the dragon. She can't be seen so is obviously clear of the opening but you can certainly hear her. Evidently she hasn't stayed trapped for long. She's not taunting you or saying anything legible. The magic users know that she is obviously casting a spell of some kind.

Hearing the spell being cast, Neshi doesn't wait and moves toward the hole and casts a wall of ice to seal the newly created opening in the roof. 1000 square feet 16 inches thick, he is casting it so that it forms a lid to the roof hole.

(Sorry Hit button too soon.)
Ok all she is casting some sort of spell probably aiming it for the hole I would spread out a bit, but I hope that my newly sealed roof will help defray or deflect whatever she is casting.

Moridark listens to the spell, and does a spellcraft check (DC 39). The mage casts haste on teh party while they are all gathered, and then flys to the middle of the room, away from the dragon.

Grindar can't work out a dragon could has a spell in an antimagic field. Armand deduces that she dismissed it to teleport out of the stone shell. He cats a True Seeing spell.
Neshi and Moridark try to identify the spell as it's being cast, but not being able to see it leaves them unable to pin it down.
Moridark casts a haste spell that will no doubt benefit the fighters in the group.
Elyngael has Brawn scarper back to the safety of the tunnel. She though tries to get into a better position to fire on the dragon.
Osul tries to get the attention of his water elemental. The water falling into the pond already disrupts the surface, but the gravel falling on it's head alerts it that something is going on above it. It rises to the surface. (Now on the map)
Neshi casts a Wall of Ice spell to seal the chamber and keep the dragon out.
The White Goddess isn't slowed. She sails through the magical wall - the ice parting and then sealing behind her - and dives down. Neshi and Moridark determine that the spell being cast before was likely the dragon re-establishing it's antimagic field. It's a powerful spell and unlikely that she can do it again.
Grindar has a clear shot and throws his javelin at the dragon but it glances off her side.
"Peasants!" The dragon scowls and exhales a cone of snow and ice across the party (Everyone except for Cotton, Brawn and Moridark takes 63 cold damage. Ref Save vs DC30 for half.) "When I'm finished with you there will be nothing left to bury!".

Grindar's AC and CMD Adjusted for the anti-magic field AC 20/13/17 CMD 23
Even though he failed his save, due to his improved evasion, and resist energy spell, Grindar only takes 3 damage. In spit of that, he shivers a bit, as the cold blast hits him and his friends. He moves in for a better view, and readies an attack, if the dragon decides to swoop down on him, but it won't matter, as he will miss. He is getting really tired of this whole Ant-Magic Shield thing, and feels this has to be one of the most cowardly dragon's he's ever heard of. He responds to the peasant slight by shouting back, "Better a peasant than a false god! I'm surprised the real gods haven't smote you for daring to claim to be one of them. When this is over, I'm going to carve out your liver, as well as the livers off your dead children, and fry them up in some bacon grease. I think they may taste good with some steamed edamame. If they taste good, I will serve your livers at the local poor house"

Armad stands in shock at the dragon's reappearance and takes the full blast from the dragon. Fortunately his spell of protection takes it all. "Guys I got nothing that's going to work against her. I'm too weak physically to damage her in combat and none of my spells are going to be effective."
He casts Resist Energy (cold) on himself.

The dragon comes back, with that thrice sunbaked antimagic pick again. Trellus dodges most of the cold attack, and his Resist Energy covers the bulk of the remainder.
Figuring he's got a better chance with arrows, he glides right, and fires a volley.

(OOC: the wall of ice is a physical barrier not a magical one, so I am not sure how antimagic would effect it, and as she was not physically next to one of the edge points she couldn't have used a reflex save to break the casting that way?)
Neshi momentarily stunned that the ice simply seemed to part in front of the beast, wasn't quite fast enough to avoid all the cold damage (evasion), and mutters a curse.

Osul tries his lightning lord abilitity once again but it fails to work. He's not having the best of luck with that today.
Armand and Moridark don't have any spells that can directly get through to affect the dragon. With all those summons spells though there has to be something that can aid in this battle.
Trellus and Neshi damage the dragon from range, but it's Elyngael who might be the deciding factor in this battle. Her arrows easily pierce the dragon's defenses. Whether she lives or dies could determine the outcome.
Grindar swaps verbal barbs with the dragon. "Aren't you dead yet? No matter. You soon will be".
The dragon is careful to stay out of areas where the roof could collapse and flies in to attack Grindar again. Luck is really going Grindar's way right now. He shifts to the right just as the dragon snaps where his head had been (Power Attack + Gtr Vital Strike. Hit AC29. Nat1!)
It's trying hard not to show it but the dragon is very clearly wounded and starting to struggle.
Wall of Ice... Highlight to display spoiler: {Wall of Ice/Fire are evocation spells that have durations. They're magical and open to dispels/antimagic fields. Wall of Stone/Iron are conjuration(creation) spells and are instantaneous. They have created something that can't be dispelled. That's my take anyway. Happy if you want to take it to the rules forum}
