The wind blowing mightily all about her, Sophie takes the offered aid of the dragon with a relieved smile, "Thank you."

[I will make a Knowledge (Arcana) roll to see what Merla knows about Wyvern weaknesses and immunities. Roll: 16 + 24 = 40 If I have any bonuses, I forgot, but that's probably more than enough.]

Merla recalls that War Wyverns are immune to fire, but vulnerable to cold. They act much as small versions of the mythic Red Dragons, but minus many of their special abilities, such as spells and their immense cunning. They do retain the devastating breath weapon though, as well as the legendary malice of their far more powerful draconic ancestors.
Caius's strikes slash great tears in the draconian beast. Enrick's blade fails to pierce the rock-hard scales of the monster, his luck failing him this time. Merla manages to land the killing blow with her spell, the orb of pure force bashing in the War Wyvern's skull.
((War Wyvern defeated.))
Alexander charges and lands a heavy blow on the Wyvern's side, an angry red gash leaking steaming blood onto the ground below. The Wyvern howls, but it is barely heard over the roaring of the wind. Its retaliation is a roaring cone of flame that rolls over Enrick and Alexander.
((Ref save for half damage. 46 fire damage to Alex and Enrick.))
Dagron loads the healers onto his back just in time, as one of the Wyverns charges on powerful legs to snap at Eve with its jaws. The female warrior takes a light wound as the edge of the beasts' jaws catches her.
((Hit. 12 damage to Eve.))
The final Wyvern struggles forward against the wind, moving to the side of its embattled brother.
((Move center Wyvern next to the one attacking Alex.))
Next turn!

Merla weaves magic about her and speaks in the language of magic. She extends her hand and an acid arrow springs forth from her palm, flying off towards the War Wyvern attacking Eve. The wizardess then calls out. "Those are War Wyverns! They're immune to fire, so avoid attacking them with fire spells or weapons imbued with fire! They are vulnerable to cold though!"
[Acid Arrow.
Ranged Touch Attack: 8 + 11 - 4 = 15
Damage: 3 + 3 = 6 acid
The War Wyvern will continue to take damage for three rounds.

((Elation wore off. REF save: 19 + 6 = 25 pass And forgot about the FORT save: 10 + 9 = 19 pass)) The blazing flood that the fearsome wyvern belched out doesn't leave Enrick unreactive. Once more he manages to shrug off most of the damage thanks to his quick reflexes. He leaps over to the side gracefully and skillfully rolls out of the way of the flaming attack with only a few scorches on his white cape.
"Hmm... Close call. Can most certainly do better, but not if I have anything to say about it."
Wind roaring in his ears, the adventurer gets back on his feet and straightens up, gazing at the fool beast. He arches an eyebrow derisively and prepares his rapier for another assault. He then charges bravely at the creature and thrusts, opening a deep gash into the wyvern's neck. However he is stopped dead in his next move when one most unpleasant smell coming from the monster assails his nostrils. The nobleman pulls out his weapon from the creature's body and backs off slightly, grimacing in disgust and waving his left arm back and forth as he exclaims out loud.
: "Oh... my goodness! Your breath... it stinks! Get away from me, repugnant beast! Away!"
The swordsman savagely lunges forward but is not so successful at hurting the monster this time again, his blade failing to pierce her solid carapace of scales. This, however, seems to be the least of his worries and he swiftly dives his hand into his pocket to dig up a handkerchief he presses against his face to shelter his nose against the offensive smell before it gives him a nausea.
: "This is simply... unbearable! How can one living being alone attain such levels of foulness?! The wind can't even chase it away! And you... you're so ugly! There is no way a quality within you can make up for so much infamy! Away I say!!"
And he rushes forward again, aiming for another strike at the creature that offended his senses.

Johann continued to splutter angrily, gesticulating and pacing, while Holzgeist and Sha'aasta looked on in mild amusement. Finally, the gnome turned to the heavens with a gesture of supplication. "Ya know," Johann shouted to no-one in particular, "I've followed your orders and your advice, even when it seemed totally suicidal. But so help me, if this continues, they're going to wind up as squirrels, visions be hanged! Freeze!" And with a brutal crushing motion, the diviner spun to face the Draconic enemies facing Alexander.
Johann casts Ice storm, offset so it hits the two war wyverns without hitting Alexander. (Without a map, I'm assuming that's possible.)
Concentration check: 1d20 + 22 = Automatic pass. (Spell's only 4th level, so I only needed a 19)

War Wyverns suffer half movement speed for 1 round.

*Dagron watches as the war wyverns flambé his allies. He scratches his head for a second before prepping himself to leap off into the winds. Dagron has always felt he had a good, strong breath, but the wyverns' flames had worked where his had not. He would have to work on that. Dagron crouches at the edge of the ledge, then leaps into the air, immediately falling into a dive.*
: Hold on you two! I can't guarantee I can get to you fast enough if you fall down! Also, please keep all arms and legs inside the space of your personal Dagron air transport!
*Dagron approaches ledge level and begins to level off with a semi-glide. Powerful flaps continue to propel them forward while he tries to level out frequently. Johann's technique had worked, but it made flying difficult. Dagron reaches the ledge with his passengers in tact, then drops down, crouching to let them off easily.*
: Last stop! Shining Force to Low Ledge Drive! Please exit quickly and have a good day fighting the forces of evil.
*Dagron grins wide as his friends leave his back. He sighs a puff of smoke in relief when Hal is off. He never realized just how heavy his friends were. Dagron stretches, then turns back toward the upper level of the cliff, watching to see if aid would be required to complete their escape.*
((DAGRON moves to the lower cliff again where the drowned eye had been to safely let Hal and Sophie off.
FORT save: 1d20 + whatever it was = 18 + a lot. Pass.))

With a sudden burst of speed and defying the windstorm, Laeralas surges forward towards the cliff edge and leaps over, easily clearing the gap and landing with Alexander on one side and the wyvern on the other. As he lands he moves fluidly forward, stabbing at the winged creature.
: "I thought I'd try something...different," the elf says with a laugh.

THIS IS THE VOICE OF TUM. ALL YE LISTEN TO ME AND DESPAIR! erhrm... Laeralas proceeds to make a dashing run toward the cliffside, his cape flowing behind him in the torrents of buffeting wind. Despite his powerful, springing leap at the very edge of the cliffside, which would have propelled him well past his enemies had he so desired, his heart sinks when he realizes the winds were pressing him down and pushing him back far faster than he could have ever anticipated. The target cliffside looms into his grasp, and with uncanny reflexes he reaches out as the world spins around him, his body tossing in the wind. The cliffside gives way, causing him to plummet to the ground below, but he had broken his fall already, the worst suffered the inconvenience of being separated from his mark. Rolling from the momentum of his tumble down the cliff, Laeralas somehow manages to expertly catch a roll back onto his soldiers, and he kips up in a backward somersault, gracefully landing on his feet and coming to a full stand once more. The acrobatic Elf shakes his head, but finds it to have been worth it in some strange way.*
((Laeralas gets a total of 28 on a reflex save, then a nat 20 on a second.))
Updated update. Current through Laeralas' action.

*Alexander's ring glows as he attempts to dodge the breath attack. He retaliates with a deep, skilled cut deep into one of the Wyverns, ending its life. He swings twice at the other Wyvern, hoping to at least weaken it down if nothing else. As he makes his final attack, Alexander calls out Laeralas.*
: "Careful, Laeralas! I know you're agile, but jumping like that on these cliffs with the wind blasting is suicide!"

Laeralas chuckles at Alexander's words. Looking up the cliff to the enlarged form of the leader, he replies. : "Suicide for other people, maybe, Alex, but not me," he says, grinning. "I have a spell prepared as a safeguard in case it had gone horribly wrong, instead of just wrong."

Posted by: Knight_019 Fri Jul 27, 2007 7:07 pm
*Dagron shakes his head, watching the Elf fly and toss about in the winds before rolling on the ground to his feet.* : Laeral, don't make me come down there and get you!

Posted by: Lord Oddeye Fri Jul 27, 2007 9:48 pm
Enrick diverted his attention from the last opponents temporarily, watching as the elf dived through the air but fell on the lower ledge of the cliff instead due to the violence of the storm pulling him away from his intended landing spot. : "Oh well anyhow, this cascade made up for a nice display of agility. Bravo!" He exclaimed, clapping his hands. "...Even if he still wound up down there. *snicker*"

Posted by: Kaihaku Sat Jul 28, 2007 2:48 am
“Thank you.” Sofia states as she hops down from the noble dragon, glancing around as the wind plays with her hair, “What is everyone doing?” She looks at Laeralas with a frown, then back to Dagron, concern in her voice, “Maybe you should go get him…”

Posted by: VoxPVoxD Sat Jul 28, 2007 4:56 am
Hal chuckles heartily at Sophie's concern. "Now, now, I'm sure the lad can take care of himself. If he wants to play the daredevil, then let him, I say. Besides, if he falls I'm certain our fine golden friend could reach him in time."

Posted by: Knight_019 Sat Jul 28, 2007 11:48 am
*Dagron chortles a tad, a deep belly laugh erupting, somewhat muffled by the wind.* : Haha, yes. You'll have to give me a moment to prepare again if I am to retrieve Laeralas, but he is quite capable of climbing, so there is time. It is not as if the cliff will explode and sink into the sea!
*Dagron laughs again at the image of the lower ledge of the cliff blowing apart into tiny, pebble-sized fragments which then splash down into water somewhere.*

Posted by: Alpha Sat Jul 28, 2007 2:34 pm
The elf's sensitive ears pick up the conversation about him, and he turns around, arms crossed and a wry smile showing. :"Thanks for the concern, people, but as it happens, I'm fine. As I said to Alex, I do have a spell prepared if worse comes to worst," he says, tilting his head slightly. "In fact... I could probably hop down to join you when we're done here, instead of taking the stairs," he continues playfully, his tone suggesting he's only joking.

"What's that?" Johann shouts over the wind, trying to make out what DAGRON was saying. "I think he wants you to make the cliff explode!" Sha'aasta shouted in reply. "But that'll make Laerlas fall into the sea!" "I know! That's what he said!" "All right!" And with a powerful combination of disintegrate, stone shape, and GOD-PK, Johann caused the...
Nah.
Nevermind.
"Should someone be helping Eve?" Johann shouted instead.

Amidst a storm of blows and magic, one of the Wyverns falls, leaving two of the beasts alone against the Force. The draconic enemy near Alex lunges at him with its claws and fangs, the two dagger-like talons ripping through him painfully, though the Hero manages to thwack the beast's head with his sword, causing the jaws to miss.
((Hit, Hit, Miss. 28 damage to Alex.))
Meanwhile, Eve lashes out at her opponent, only managing to score a single blow, though it pierces deep. The Wyvern retaliates with a savage clawing, the creature's snapping jaws barely missing latching on the centaur's neck.
((Hit, Miss, Miss. 25 damage to War Wyvern. Hit, Hit, Miss. 40 damage to Eve.))
The DM doesn't make a map for 2 enemies that haven't moved.

: "Perfect! We're almost rid of those infect lizards! Now let me lend you a hand to hast- waaaah!" In a moment of inadvertence on his way to attack one of the last monsters, Enrick stepped on a small round pebble lurking treacherously in his path, remainder of the last rockfall. But what should have been less than an insignifiant obstacle turned out much more inconvenient in this case. The blasting winds took advantage of this short moment of weak balance and pushed him backward, the swordsman letting out an exlamation as his back hit the ground heavily. The unfortunate man raised an outraged fist at the sky but soon let his arm fall back to the ground loosely.
: "Ugh... cursed slippery land."

*Dagron continues to weather the storm with ease. In the midst of his conversing, he stretches his wings to full extension, then leaps into the air.* : Hold on, I have an idea! *Dagron immediately pushes powerfully through the air, hurtling himself toward Laeralas. Nearing within 50, then soon 30, feet of Laeralas, he yells out to his Elven friend.*
: Something tells me you want to try that again. Grab on quickly!
*Laeralas easily grabs onto the shoulder of Dagron's left wing and secures himself on the steel-hard golden scales. The speed at which Dagron moves leaves Laeralas hanging behind parallel to Dagron's body. Within seconds Dagron completes his journey from the bottom ledge to his destination behind the wyvern. No sooner than Dagron reaches the ledge does Laeralas wink and let go, but carefully this time so as to land on his feet.*
((Fort save: 11 + stuff = pass
Laeralas' Reflex save: 10 + stuff = pass.
Dagron uses a double move action to make it 2 spaces to the right of the wyvern. Laeralas lets go and drops one space to the right of the wyvern. More to come when Alpha wakes up.))

Posted by: Alpha Tue Jul 31, 2007 1:25 pm
((I’m awake!)) As Dagron propels Laeral across the battlefield, the elf shouts something out. : "Haha, now this is trying something different!" Once the gold dragon reaches the appointed spot, the daggerspell lets go, twisting around and landing firmly, already slashing at the wyvern, his right arm seeming to become blurred as he does so.
: "Many thanks, Dagron! What an experience that was!”
((Hop on Dagron, get flown to the spot right of the right most wyvern, land and full attack))

Eve manages to land a pair of powerful thrusts on her opponent, but fails to slay the beast even when Laeralas descends to slash and stab at it.

Heaving a sigh of resignation at his reverse of luck, Enrick jumps back on his feet with surprising agility and manages to stand solid against the force of the wind. : "So where was I again... Oh yes! *cough* Now let me lend you a hand to haste the process!"
Grinning smugly, the dandy fencer turns his attention to the only wyvern still dirtying his eyesight and steps forward as graciously as one can in the middle of a giant tornado, aiming his weapon tauntingly at the throat of the injured beast.
: "I'll do the world and my senses a favor by ensuring your demise, monster!" He exclaims, adding one quick accurate thrust to his speech. Incorporeal energy soon escapes freely from the open wound along with the creature's blood. But unlike this one, the energy flows back to him through his rapier and refreshes him.

: Haha, now to finish this! *Dagron zooms overhead of Laeral and Eve, turning in a tight corkscrew to increase his chances of making it through the tumultuous winds. Maw agape, he aims for the wyvern's midsection. The aerial maneuver and tumultuous winds take him slightly off target, but he manages to catch the beast in its shoulder. Dagron's mouth closes tightly, and separates one of the wyvern's wings from its body.*
((Dagron charges and passes his fort save
1d20 + 22 + 1 (Bless) + 2 (charge) + 2 (flank) = 7 + 27 = 34.

The last of the Wyverns falls and all is silent save for the incessant howling of the wind. ((Everyone gains 1750 XP.))

As the last Wyvern falls, Johann gestures with soothing motions towards the heart of the chasm, and the winds die down.

As the winds dissipate, so do the aura of colours surrounding Laeralas, the spell’s duration reaching its end. The elf briskly walks over to where Alexander, Dagron and Enrick were standing, a grin on his face. : ”Well now, that was enjoyable, wouldn’t you agree?” he says. ”You alright Enrick? Saw you take a fall,” he adds.

Sophie frowns softly, her eyes worried as she shakes her head, "It seems to me that you were the one to take a fall." She sighs, "Please, be careful, it would be terrible for anyone else to die like Bagu*." *For RPing purposes for me, Bagu is dead.
The cleric shakes her head once more, concern written on her face as she looks around the group, "Let me heal your wounds..."

The priestess then steps over to the bloodied and beaten form of their leader, the hero Alexander. Tears threaten to well up in her eyes as she looks on his dire wounds. She takes in a deep breath and prays to the sacred light in the sacred tongue. Then she gently reaches out and lays a hand on the hero, immediately power surges through him sealing his wounds and healing his injuries.

*The wounds heal, and Alexander takes his left hand to his forehead, his body healed completely now as he uses the healing powers granted to him. ((Lay on Hands 92% used so that I'm back up to 100% health.)) : "Thank you, Sophie...That was closer than I thought. Now that we've used most of our reserves, we can't afford to take as many risks. We'll have to be careful as we advance."
*Alexander approaches the majority of the group, waiting for the others to gather as well.*
: "Listen carefully, everyone. Every battle we've faced - every adversity we've overcome...It has brought us to this point - to this place of death and destruction. The world here lies dead: no plants, no water, no wildlife; the only living beings here are fighting a battle - each side with their own goals. We will undoubtably find allies in our battle against the evil before us, which will make things considerably easier - but certainly not easy. You have all been with me this far, and I thank you for that, and we will continue our pursuit for the hope that we will end this terrible war and give our future generations a peaceful place to live and thrive in."
*The force's leader looks at his group, looking each one in the eyes singularly as he continues to speak.*
: "I believe we can do it. So far, we've proven time and time again that we can stand up to the devils and their allies. We've come so close, and that's why we stand here today, in the thick of the most heated battle yet. You've all come from different walks of life - and you're all in this for your own reasons - some of them the same as others, some of them different. We all have our unique skills, and I believe that is one reason why we are all still alive and well today. Certainly, we don't always see eye to eye on everything, but one thing has never changed, and that has been our burning desire to see this war to the end and finish it personally, for we know we have the capabilities to do so. You know, and I know, that we can do this, and I believe in each and every one of you. There are few forces that can stand up to the demons, and we are one of them, and we will cast them away like the fiends they are. I know you have all heard the legends of the Shining Forces from the past. There have been many, some of which you may be somewhat familiar with, and those that you are not familiar with. Their journeys were not very different from our own. Things were certainly bleak for them at times, and I'm sure their spirits would break here and there throughout their lengthy quests. However, they stayed true throughout, and they won. Similarly, we cannot give up. Therefore, we must press on and remember we have gotten this far and that we CAN do this."
*Alexander smiles.*
: "I know you all know this, and I know that's why you're still with me. Even so, I felt it must be said. I want you all to silently swear to yourselves that you will not give up, no matter what happens. Make your wills unshakable. Let no illusion, no lie, nor bribe turn you from your cause. Follow me, as you have followed me, and we will walk valiantly to victory!"

The trek across the mountain is long and at times hard, but it's nothing compared to the battles the team has faced before. After a while the trail slopes downward and the group finds itself just shy of another battle in progress. The forces of those attacking the mountain have pressed on to this final point, bringing the siege to the Gates of Megiddo itself. A single massive metal door, easily dwarfing the tallest among you, at least thirty feet tall and just as wide, is set into the mountainside. The mountainside itself has been cut away into jagged cliffs around the door, a still standing monument to Ancient masonry.
At the feet of the great mountain and the great gate, undead and robot battle advancing troops with the aid of abominations, cultists, and golems.
It is here the trail ends.
((Remerging with SFCWIV Rangers thread. If you have pre-battle buffs, please post them there. Rusty, you can lock this now.))
