Vadania directs the first lightning strike at the big drake, being careful not to include Ylva or any other ally in the burst of lightning. She uses the Thunder cloak to give an extra boost to the bolt.

Damage: rHnVIbpKp_1-6p_1-6p_1-6p_1-6=10


Meanwhile Ylva keeps harrying the drake:

Ylva Trip: p_1-20+3=121-6�1-6�1-6�1-6�1-20�1-6�1-20

[at]

Ylva narrowly avoids another goring from the large drake as their fight continues, and nearby Lynette is similarly occupied with the spitting drake who appears to have decided that a ranged exchange is not in it's favour and has leapt down to engage the bard up close.

As Ka'lion's summoned wolf vanishes one of the creatures finds itself free to rush forward, picking out Vadania and latching onto her arm with a lucky bite (4 damage)

Ka'lion's shot goes wide, his lack of martial skill no surprise to those who know him.
(i'm a little surprised you haven't shopped around for a masterwork bow yet)

With the way I roll? I dont think it would make any differnce. I either roll very well or really badly. Never in between

Unfortunately it is a side effect of Ka'lions multiclassing and unconventional high-INT build. The encounters do take this into account but have to also be challenging for Vadania and Garrot.

It may do Ka'lion some good to forsake one druid path or the other and combine the levels. I'd even allow Ka'lion to switch for a full 5 levels of shapeshifter, losing his spontaneous casting for rage (I was going to give you the option of retraining if you managed to contact either of the druidic groups anyway, but you still have the magical mask).


You are free to continue with the character build as-is though

]I'd combine to standard druid but keep the barbarian and drop the mask but where the character currently is all levels advance his combat skills. The wolf at will is fun but I prefer choice.[/font

I'm ok with the effects of the mask essentially 'wearing off' - Ka'lions abilities were granted by a magical item that he has since destroyed. I've noticed though that with Ka'lions poor wisdom he wouldn't be able to use the higher level magic anyway - he has terrible stats for a divine caster having sunk all of his points into INT but having no INT based abilities at all.

(Vadania/Ylva/Lynette to act BTW)

[harknail]

Vadania draws her sword to defend herself from the drake, but instead of attacking she calls another lightning bolt on the big drake. She's more concerned with Ylva then herself at this point.

Lighting Damage (include storm cloak): 4jhLIuNbp_1-6p_1-6p_1-6p_1-6=13

Ylva keeps attacking the big drake, boldly taking on something much bigger than herself.

Attack: p_1-20+6=15
Damage: p_1-6+3=8
Trip: p_1-20+3=111-6�1-6�1-6�1-6�1-20�1-6�1-20

[at]

Lynette seems to be gaining the upper hand against her target, and Scar is at least holding his ground, but Ylva is starting to falter alone against the largest and most durable of the drakes as it continues to press forwards protected by it's thick armoured hide (8 damage)

Despite Vadania's focus being elsewhere her armour is too tough for the smaller drake to make any real progress and she continues to fend it off.


[Tag all - Ylva also gets one of her hitpoints back from Lynette's healing aura as she drops below half]

(for only a +4 ref save the drake is doing quite well for itself)

[sageaqua]

Ka'lion charges to Yalna's aid calling Scar to change and bringing the rage and flank the big drake as he draws his dagger and drops his bow.

Both hits. Charging doesn't do any extra damage and Ka'lions dagger is +1 to hit and +d6 acid damage not +1 damage so you've got an extra dice of damage there - might be enough to drop it.

Scar takes 3 damage from an AoO on the way out though


[Tag vadania/ylva - the large drake is down if Ka'lion rolls 4 or higher for his acid dagger]

That is the downside to an always hits attack… Is the Drake taking half damage on a save, or no damage at all?[

Half - from what Vadania can see they aren't particularly agile creatures.

The larger creature is still standing, just about.

Vadania, Ylva, and Lynette to act.

[harknail]

Vadania hits the large drake with a 3rd bolt of lightning, the last that she can empower using her thunder cloak.

Lightning damage: iIQWhBEip_1-6p_1-6p_1-6p_1-6=12

Ylva continues to attack the large drake if it's still up (flanking with either Scar or Ka'lion if possible), otherwise she changes target to the drake fighting Vadania (flanking with Vadania).

Ylva Attack: p_1-20+6+2(flank)=18
Ylva Damage: p_1-6+3=6
Ylva Trip: p_1-20+3=201-6�1-6�1-6�1-6�1-20�1-6�1-20

As the largest of the drakes fall the others take it as a sign to flee, though the one fighting Vadania is not so fortunate as Ylva pulls it down.

The creatures quickly duck into the rocks towards the small tunnels and fissures, clearly familiar with the lay of the land.


(unless the group takes any special measures to stop them the two remaining drakes run away to lick their wounds)
