The bard player was running late tonight, but the group decided to storm in after the dragon in his absence. I may a GM call and put the bard out of the way and started his performance to give the group a bit of a boost. I thought they would needed it. Both the bard was happy to be helpful and the group was happy to have the help. Several rolls would have gone the wrong way without him.

So previously the rogue attempted to pry a glass jewel loose from the casting circle. It broke, release a burst of undirected wild magic, resulting in the rogue double in size. Thus the 12 1/2 foot tall half-elf decides to attempt an act of desperation to take out the dragon to get to the gold hoard. Grabbing the large cauldron, he dashes into the room and slams the cauldron down onto the dragon's head (passing both a dexterity check and a strength check to do it).
As a result, the first blast of the dragon's breath weapon is used to shatter the cauldron rather than to freeze heroes solid. The group slips into the room, except for the gnome and bard who offer support from the other room. They surround the dragon and quickly get the flanking advantage. The dragon drops hit points quickly and finds it difficult to get everyone in the cone of his breath weapon. The group is surprised when he moves with such quick speed and more surprised when a wall falls from a blow by his wings.
The group keeps hitting and hitting and hitting, piling on damage, and dragon is almost dead. He turns and begins to dig. On an attack of opportunity, the dragon goes down. They skin him and pull out any parts they can use. The rogue looks happy, eyeing the dragon scale for armor for his tiger. The gold is a large pile and the group quickly divides it.
They make it through the exit door to find a wagon and a weapon rack. The group loads up and head back to town, picking up a metal weapon stash along the way.
Once in town, thr group gets items identified, sells many of them and starts buying supplies. At the tavern, Corrail, the ranger, runs into an old friend who offers some advice as to where to go next. The helf-elf gets dragged off on his own encounter and gets a suggestion as where to go next. He also gets returned to normal size.
So the plan quickly becomes a trip first to Innsbruck to buy better supplies and to let the Paladin check in, then to Longsaddle, and then Secomber. Next time we'll see what the open road holds for the band of adventurers.

My plan was brilliant! Once the pot was on his head I should've been able to trounce off the the gold! (jokingly) --C
ReplyDeleteIt was a brilliant plan and worked out very well for the whole group. I've never seen a group avoid as much damage as you guys did with that dragon.
DeleteI'll make sure that doesn't happen next time. :-P
Well I'll come up with something new.
