Bard Song: Lady Luck's Lure

Knifk roars in response to the beast, though his bellow pales in comparison to its ferocious howl. He fearlessly charges the beast, hacking away with Tfel, but the sheer sonic force of the roar prevented him from reaching the front row, so he attacked from the back row.

Johon attacks the dragon with all his might from the front row with his Meteor blade from the front row!

"I want my sword of Decay to be most useful with the Encourage The Horde song!"

Elgar attacks the dragon from the back row with his crossbow

Without saying a word, Guts attacked from the back row!

Singerson strummed the guitar and began to sing Lady Luck's Lure...

Results of Round One of the Ancient Dragon Battle:

>Knifk vs. Ancient Dragon - Damage/Critical Hit ....[((9*2) + 12)/2 = 15]

>Johon vs. Ancient Dragon - Miss/Shield ..............[(8 + 14)/2 = 11]

>Hybros vs. Ancient Dragon - Damage/Critical Hit .[((10 * 2) + 15)/2 = 18]

>Guts vs. Ancient Dragon - Shield/Miss ...............[(((8 * 3) + 11) * 2)/2 = 35]

>Elgar vs. Ancient Dragon - AIM/Damage .............[9 = 9]

The battle against the Ancient Dragon began. The dragon was about to deal damage but luck was on Knifk's side and he dodged and dealt a critical strike dealing 15 damage. Johon fought his fear to get to the front row but it was no use. He was about to miss the dragon but luck was with him and he went into a frenzy and dealt 11 damage to the dragon. Hybros used the length of his scythe to still connect with a critical hit, for 18 damage, and avoid the dragon's damage due to his amazing luck. Guts almost missed his target, but the alure of the dragon's hoard, and his team's luck, brought his strike back on target, dealing 35 damage and collecting 35 gold coins in the process. The frustrated dragon lashed out at Elgar to damage at least one member of the team, but his luck held strong and he aimed a perfect shot at the dragon. The combined gem attacks against the dragon shattered it's concentration and the aura of fear dissipated.

I fought from the front row...

"Have him, her, whatever it is sing the Encourage The Horde song!"

If Knifk takes my advice, I'll attack from the front row with my Sword of Decay!

[JimBee]

"Hm. Knifk, if you have the bard sing Fastest Flight, I can apply a bottle of deadly venom to my weapon. The earlier we do that the better. And if that be the case I'll use a deadly venom on Zoot's Reaper and then attack with it from the back row!"

[Scubacarrot]

"Good thinking, Imp. I'll apply Venom and attack from the back toe."

Knifk calls out to the bard to sing a quick ditty to speed their allies, then drinks a potion whilst attacking from the front row.

OoC: Bricksandparts, the party was under the affects of "Afraid" which causes all members to stand in the back row.

"You want a speedy jig? You got it!" Singerson said while dancing feverishly and playing Fastest Flight...

Results of Round Two of the Ancient Dragon Battle:

Knifk - Apply Deadly Venom

Knifk vs. Ancient Dragon - Critical Hit...........[((9*2) + 12) = 30]

>Hybros - Apply Deadly Venom

>Hybros vs. Ancient Dragon - Hit ................[(10 + 15)/2 = 13]

>Guts - Apply Venom

>Guts vs. Ancient Dragon - Critical Hit.........[(((8 * 2) + 11) * 2)/2 = 27]

>Johon vs. Ancient Dragon - Damage

>Elgar vs. Ancient Dragon - Critical Hit........[(9 * 2) + 10 = 28]

>Elgar vs. Ancient Dragon - AIM.................[9 = 9]

The battle against the Ancient Dragon continued. The bard's song caused the members of the party to battle faster against the dragon. Knifk applied deadly venom to his longsword then slashed the dragon's snout for a critical strike of 30 damage, sending poison into the dragons head. Hybros followed suite and applied deadly venom to his scythe before hitting the dragon's stomach for 13 damage and poisoning the fleshy skin beneath the scales. Guts followed the same tactic, applying venom to his blade and then shoving his dagger to the hilt into the dragon's foot dealing a critical strike for 27 damage, poisoning the appendage. In his fury, the dragon slashed and missed Johon who jumped into the dragon's second attack to receive 10 damage. While the dragon was distracted, Elgar fired at the dragon's snout dealing a critical strike for 28 damage and then aiming for a precise hit of 9 damage. The dragon's head, stomach and foot were suffering from the poison entering its body and it suffered 21 damage (10 + 10 +1).

Johon runs out towards the dragon recklessly smashing his sword of Decay with all is might from the front row!

[Scubacarrot]

Guts let out a low growl, and snarls at Johon:

"Fool, you are going to get yourself killed, take a potion."

[Bricksandparts]

Guts let out a low growl, and snarls at Johon:

"Fool, you are going to get yourself killed, take a potion."

OoC: Wait, it says next round I get hastened effect, not the round it happens.

(Causes the hastened effect on those hit by the lightning for the next round)

So I would have just gotten a miss from my first roll.

Johon attacks the dragon from the back row, then if I am in danger of being KO'd I'll drink a potion, otherwise I attack the dragon twice.

@Bioniclover My name is Johon, not John!

[Scubacarrot]

"What are you talking about fool, the dragon has not unleashed lightning breath at all. "

[Bricksandparts]

"What are you talking about fool, the dragon has not unleashed lightning breath at all. "

OoC: sorry I'm getting all confused, I forgot tat that was the song the bard sang. Sorry for all this stuff I keep forgetting.

Ok, I attack from the back row with my sword of Decay.

[Scubacarrot]

"You realize that will make zero difference if you get attacked, just take a potion!"

Results of Round Three of the Ancient Dragon Battle:

Knifk vs. Ancient Dragon - Special [Flame Breath]

>Hybros vs. Ancient Dragon - Shield .....[((7 * 3) + 15) * 2 = 72]

>Guts vs. Ancient Dragon -Shield .........[(((8 * 3) + 11) * 2)/2 = 35]

>Johon - Potion

>Elgar vs. Ancient Dragon - Damage

The battle against the Ancient Dragon continued. The bard's song encouraged the members of the party to battle harder against the dragon. Knifk stayed close to the dragon to draw its fiery breath away from his team members and blocked the initial impact of the blast with his shield. The shield was burning hot and would cause him damage for the next two rounds. Hybros threw his dagger with extra strength, dealing 72 damage against the dragon and forcing 72 coins to rain from its scales. Guts followed a similar tactic, score a devastating hit of 35 damage and raining 35 coins to the quarry floor. Johon gulped down a potion to regain 10 points of health. In the dragon's pain, it lashed out its tail at Elgar dealing 10 damage. The dragon shivered as the poison entered it's system fully dealing, 21 damage (10 + 10 +1).
