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.

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.

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 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.

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). TO hit d20+27=42 Fortitude Save 23 or death effect (not sure what that means, could not find it anywhere), if save take 100 points damage. See above. 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 mage reaches out and casts fly on the cleric. "There is an antimagic field around the larger dragon. Idon't know if Ican dispel it but Iwill try that next!"

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!

He hits with a 42, and inflicts 26 damage. (Forgot to add quarry, and favored enemy to the damage roller.)
Meanwhile, Cotton attempts to make two bites on his dragon. She hits with ACs 37 and 35, for 31 damage plus 5 flame and 5 shock and 27 plus 1 flame and 2 shock.

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 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.

Armand doesn't feel Gargul blessed energies and becomes frightfully worried. When the ceiling comes down he clicks his heals to activate his boots of speed and makes a hasty retreat. He then burns his dismissal spell to cast Cure Critical wounds on himself. (4d8+16, assuming the reroll 1's on channel applies to healing spells in general). 44 hp restored.

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.

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.

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!".

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.

Many shot (2 arrows), Haste +1, Quarry +2, Deadly Aim (current level -3 to hit, +6 damage), Hero's Feast +1, Pinpoint targeting, (standard action, single ranged attack, no armor or shield bonus on 1 attack). Elyngeal decides to forgo a flurry of arrows and go for the guaranteed hit.
Shot to hit d20+27=35 (to touch AC) Damage first arrow d8+4=12, second arrow d8+4=6. (oh wait forgot the +6 damage for deadly aim so first arrow did 18 and second did 12).
Haste shot to hit d20+27=37 (if pinpoints still applies then hit, otherwise miss) damage first arrow d8+10=15 and second arrow d8+10=18.

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.

Osul directs the water elemental to get closer to the dragon. As expected it winks out of existance temporarily. He then casts a Create Water spell directly over the dragon. It rains down on her as expected.
Trellus keeps firing and gets another two arrows to hit their target.
Armand goes for the gold. His flame strike melts a good portion of it and watches it flow onto the surrounding coins and treasure. The fire momentarily distracts the dragon but not enough to get her full attention. If the party fall she'll have plenty more to add to the collections. Moridark has other thoughts for it and starts scooping away at the mountain of gold. If the party need to haul butt then at least they won't be leaving empty handed.
Fearing the dragon might use it's breath weapon again, Neshi buffs himself up with another cold protection spell.
At last the dragon is within reach! Cyrchwr Mawr gets to taste dragon blood and it is sweet.
Elyngael gets three arrows away and all strike deep. Real deep. Highlight to display spoiler: {Manyshot is a full round action that doesn't work with Pinpoint Targeting (standard action) or with haste (standard action). I've counted this as Manshot for the first 2 with crits and then 1 extra for haste for 3 arrows in total}
The dragon roars in pain and glares at Elyngael. Eyes that are the color of alabaster fixate on her. "You!
Ignoring Grindar the dragon turns and flies towards Elyngael. (Provokes AoO from Gindar)
Trellus' Fly spell gives way as the dragon draws near and he falls to the ground (Trellus takes 4pts fall damage and is prone!. Looking up, Trellus is staring right at the underbelly of the dragon hovering only a few feeet above him.
Trellus isn't her target though. The dragon bites into Elyngael. Not as hard as it had the others in the party, but more than enough to pierce the ranger's armor. (Power Attack + Gtr Vital Strike. Hit AC40. Elyngael takes 84pts damage. No Stoneskin)

Cotton moves into action, and attempts to take a bit out of the dragon, but fails to connect. Grindar throws caution to the wind and charges the dragon, barely managing to sink Cyrchwr Mawr into her. (Forgot to add the +2 for flanking, which turns the 39 into a 41). With vital strike he inflicts 25 damage.

Grindar misses on his first attack but now things are getting serious. The party that he's only just met need his muscle, and he's not going to let them down. Grindar and Cotton charge in for a two pronged assault. As Cotton draws near the dragon lashes out at her! (AoO. Power Attack + Gtr Vital Strike. Hit AC39. Cotton takes 97pts damage. No Stoneskin). It may have distracted her, as Cotton can't get her teeth through the dragon's scales. Cyrchwr Mawr doesn't have that problem.
Elyngael backs up and plugs away with two more arrows.
There's not much Armand can do except patch up more of his wounds. Moridark scoops up 5000lbs of gold and carries it in the air.
Osul calls for Trellus to get outta there - a thought entirely shared by Trellus. The druid casts a small, targeted earthquake to hit the northern half of the dragon and away from those close on the southern end. He's careful not to bring the dragon crashing to the ground atop Trellus. The dragon gets hit by lots of rocks but doesn't get pinned. Trellus is sheltered from the rocks by the dragon and avoids getting squished by it too.
Finally Trellus starts crawling his way out from under the dragon.
The dragon grins a toothy, bloody grin. "Oh no you don't. You're my insurance policy". It drags Trellus back underneath it and holds a claw to his chest. "If I get buried, you get buried" (Start a grapple. Trellus can make an AoO. CMB: 62 (Nat20)! Trellus is grappled!). Trellus can see many open wounds on the dragon now. It's underbelly has been torn to shreds and crimson blood now coats most of the dragon's ivory scales.
"This is your last chance to surrender worms! Put your weapons down now or I'll squash him until his eyes pop from his head!" The dragon coughs blood over Trellus, coating him in the fluid and making him slick to the touch.

If Moridark is unable to get to Trellus....
Trellus is about make one last heroically futile swing, when the dragon collapses on top of him. He is fortunate to land in a shallow crack to avoid taking the full weight.
Calling on all his reserves, and Domi too, the man attempts to force a hand out from under its body.

DM RobC - "Maybe we can cut a tunnel?" Wednesday March 9th, 2022 2:18:36 AM
Neshi misses with his sling, but Grindar delivers the killing blow. The dragon doesn't even have the strength to issue one last insult. It collapses in a heap atop Trellus. Moridark isn't able to reach the cleric who is stuck right under the middle of the dragon. Armand pulls out his hammer and knocks some scales off to try and cut a 'tunnel' through the dragon. That would be a story to tell some day! Osul considers the magical route of casting a reverse gravity spell.
Elyngael keeps her bow drawn in case the dragon makes any last moves, but it is well and truly dead.
Trellus kicks and struggles to reach freedom until he is finally squeezed out like the pattie from a badly held burger. (OOC: You can keep the hero point). Trellus is covered head-to-toe in dark, dragon blood with only his eyes clear of the stuff.
The battle is finally over. No doubt the toughest the Wardens have faced to date. There are piles of ash where there were onces swarms. Two large dragons have been killed and one absolutely gargantuan one. The pure white scales of the dragons have been scorched, punctured, sliced and torn.
Water gathers on the ice overhead. The surface of the pool of water in the room starts to still. There is a lot of rubble from the multiple earthquakes cast and you have to wonder on the integrity of the ceiling now.

Neshi takes a moment to cast two clenched fist spells (strength 33) and directs them to push the dragon off of Trellus.

Grindar is about to put his shoulder to the dragon, with the intent of helping free Trellus, but when Trellus wiggles himself free, he relaxes. He cleans the blood off Cyrchwr Mawr, and than walks over to check on Cotton. Seeing her wounded, Grindar asks, "Could someone cast some healing magic on Cotton? She seems a bit beat up." He than scratches the rapke behind the ears, and calls her a good girl, as he draws a dagger and slices off a large slab of dragon meat, and gives as a snack to Cotton.

Armand burns his earthquake spell and casts Cure Critical Mass. Everyone heals, 42 hp (4d8+16). Then he burns Summon Monster VII to do it again. Everyone heal 38 more hp.
He looks around. "Guys let's not forget that indestructable behemeath we encountered at the cave mouth. I say we just mass collect the gold and such and then use the time remaining on Wind Walk to go up the hole in the ceiling and off the mountain."[b] He looks at Cotton and Grinder. [b]"Anyone have a fly or airwalk spell so Cotton and Grinder can also take the easy way out?"
He looks at the pile of gold. "I have a bag of holding, but I'm not sure we can take all that. Maybe we need to quickly sort through things?"
He casts Detect magic and looks over the hoard.

Trellus scrambles out from under the carcass.
Covered in black gore, he eyes Grindar reproachfully. "Dude. You dropped a dragon on me."
He holds the stare as long as he can, before breaking into a grin, a chuckle, and then a belly laugh that quickly turns into coughing after he mistakenly inhales some of the goo.
Recovering himself, he answers Armand. "No flying spells left, I'm afraid. I've got a Handy Haversack, so I can take a bunch of gold too."

Moridark lets out a visible sign as the healing washes over him. "Thank you Armand! The mage looks at his sphere, Iwas going to make it rain gold over the dragon if you hadn't killed it. To bad that sphere doesn't last an exteremly long time." Moridark casts detect magic with the others.
DM RobC - "Dude. You dropped a dragon on me." Thursday March 10th, 2022 1:44:20 AM
The party enjoy a little post combat euphoria. Trellus feels lucky to be alive and ribs Grindar about dropping a dragon on him. Cotton gets to feed on some fresh dragon meat while the party work out what to do.
Osul and Neshi go to help Trellus but find he has managed to crawl his own way out.
Armand and Elyngael are a little worried that the behemoth was right behind them and suggest a quick exit. The ranger takes a position by the mouth of the cave and stays alert for any tremors.
Moridark and Armand each cast a Detect Magic spell and look over the hoard. They detect magical auras all through the pile! This isn't just a pile of gold and silver. This is an actual dragon hoard.
Moridark is quite knowledgeable in the arcane and so he knows quite a bit about dragons and behemoths. To coexist in the same territory they likely had an understanding to stay clear of each other. If that's true, then it's unlikely the behemoth would come exploring here any time soon. He also recalls that the behemoth was regenerating at quite a slow rate so the party would have at least a few hours before it wakes, let alone travels this far - if were to even do so.
It looks like the party have time on their side.

When Trellus emerges and makes his accusation, Grindar feels crest fallen, and is about to defend his honor, but when Trellus starts laughing, the ranger playfully punches Trellus in the shoulder, and says, "You whitehand, you had me going!" than he too starts laughing, and says, "I'm glad you're alive my friend, and that goes for the rest of this pack as well." After that, Grindar offers, "I too have a handy haversack, and as such can help carry some of the hoard away." As he says this, Grindar starts perusing the hoard to see what was obtained.

Armand shakes his head, "Neshi I'm amazed at your versatility, and 'Osul you are a font of practical magic. Grinder and Trellus, without you two I think we'd be residing inside some dragon's belly." He grins and walks over to the treasure hoard. "Let's look through the hoard and determine what's what and what we can take." Armand goes over to the hoard with detect magic going. He will sort the magic stuff into a pile for now.

Elyngael looks around at the three different dragon bodies. She wants some souvenirs...maybe the teeth of the small dragon for a necklace. "Anyone want some dragon souvenirs? Armand I know the haft of your glaive is made from one of the long bones of the red dragon we defeated. Think there's enough here to make dragon hide armor? Anyone want some dragon hide armor, or a dragon scale shield?"

Trellus takes several moments to relax. He passes on the offer of dragon hide armor or shields, and goes to help identify and scoop up items.

Moridark assists Armand in sorting, "What type of proof do we take? Is there yet another dragon we need to be onthe look out for?'
DM RobC - "Anyone want some dragon souvenirs?" Friday March 11th, 2022 12:17:15 AM
Osul isn't too concerned about the behemoth, but the water above worries him a little. Assuming he takes no action the wall of ice disappears after a short period of time and the water splashes down into the pool below. The small waterfall resumes pouring from the ceiling above. The sound is quite calming now that there isn't any sign of danger. He wonders whether the caravan guy was one of the younger dragons here. Quite possible.
Moridark is a little concerned now that there might be another dragon out there. What if it's worse than this one?!
Elyngael wants some dragon souvenirs and considers dragonhide armor. There's enough here to make three suits: - One suit of masterwork studded leather, hide, scale or banded mail armor - One suit of masterwork studded leather or hide armor - One suit of masterwork studded leather or hide armor In each case, enough hide is available to produce a small or large masterwork shield in addition to the armor.
Grindar, Osul, and Neshi start going through the loot and sort it into piles. Armand and Trellus work through identifying the magical items while Moridark appraises the non-magical items.
Even working together it takes close to 45mins to sort through the items in this fashion. The final list is impressive and Moridark values it all at just over 1 million gp...
