Foxy tries to dodge out of the way, but the dragon snatches her up easily, plucking the proffered shield from her hands with it's other claw. It's sword-like talons flay her flesh as she struggles (-8hp) - she passed out with a scream of pain, swooning unconscious, grasped in it's meaty paw. With a single flap of it's massive wings, it is ready to ascend.

Clay stands upright on his hind legs, trying to negotiate further with the beast. The dragon's voice is a snear. "A tricky badger, I see... Northward? You would have me contest the territory of Lisssseth, or of Galgathael, then?" It makes the horrible, grating noise that might be laughter once more. "No. Your town is in my lands, and tribute is indeed what I demand. Livestock, Hah. It is Maiden that I prefer and Maidens that your town must provide or face my ruin."

Foxy's blood runs over it's scaled toes and sharp talons, dripping as the life runs out of her. The dragon prepared to ascend and fly off with her. Baxtaw and C'ang are ready, however - Baxtaw's arrow flies from the creature's flank and glances off it's thick hide. C'ang runs directly for the beast without fear, his family's axe biting into it's flesh before it can leave the ground.

C'ang gets to specify the effect desired by his critical hit.

It is all halfpint can do to stay quiet after watching foxy get picked up.

So it's going well then. No worries, we got this in the bag.

The Grizzly Woman wipes her nose with her sleeve and grows bored of the back and forth, then does a surprised double-take at how quickly the scene has escalated. She steps forward and calls up to the dragon. "Well it is no good taking Foxy back if she is dead! Her heart is big as a dragon heart but the rest of her is tiny so be careful. I hope you have a way to put her back together where you are going, Big Dragon."

If the dragon attacks, she will charge forward and whup it. Otherwise, she will stand her ground where she is.

Though it goes unnoticed because of his fur, Clay pales when he sees Ms. O'Hare drop unconscious. Seeing C'ang's axe bite deeply, Clay and More day for cover. (Bringing Ms. O'Hare with them if the dragon decides to fight. If it still has her, Clay will hope she gets to town alive and can get healed there. Because, how long would it take the dragon to fly and deliver her there?)

C'ang stood poised and let loose of his spring, slamming with his axe against the fowl claw that gripped Foxy. "You'll not use that against anyone ever again!" He stands ready to counter another attack.

[1d20+2] = 2+2 = 4[1d8+2] = 3+2 = 5

C'ang will do everything he can to both free Foxy and damage the wyrm. But it might not happen with those rolls.

OOC: Per Marullus's roll for you in this post viewtopic.php?p=319752#p319752 C'ang already had a critical hit. That's why he's asking you what you want the effect of C'ang's critical hit to be. Like to have the dragon drop Foxy, for example.

Baxtaw So I am lost are we battling the dragon or are we letting him take Foxy to Gaul in which we may return to Gaul and find it in ashes. Or find the residents feeding it maidens. I do not see any positives outcomes to this.

C'ang will seek to damage the wyrm as much as possible while freeing Foxy.

Valdus wrote:C'ang will do everything he can to both free Foxy...

Taking that as the action, then.

C'ang charges the dragon fearlessly, clad only in leathers, as it tries to take off with the unconscious Foxy. ""You'll not use that against anyone ever again!" he bellows, bringing his family's ancestral axe down hard, slicing deep into the great Wyrm's paw. (Critical hit, -3hp, effect: drop Foxy) Foxy's body spills out, bleeding, onto the hard earth.

The disbelief is tangible as time hangs in the air for a long moment. Even the casual damage of Foxy struggling against it's claw was enough to mortally wound her, so great is this creature... And there the dwarf stands, challenging it in leathers, wild haired, axe in hand.

Clay and Morrs dive for cover. Half-pint disappears in the brush. The Grizzly Woman stands her ground and wipes her nose. Baxtaw considers another shot but can't even get it into his bow.

The dragon roars. "DWAAAARF!!! How DARE you strike me!" Already trying to rise off the ground, it tries to redirect, pulling back it's wounded claw and swinging around to snap the dwarf up in it's jaws. It's maw -- so large it could snap even the bear in half with one bite -- comes around at the leather-clad dwarf, missing and smacking into the ground as it's momentum goes off-kilter. (Critical fumble, lose next round's action) One of it's teeth bounces out into the dirt near C'ang, while it's body loses lift and falls sideways, crashing to the ground in a heap.

(Actions? Post two rounds.)

This is pretty epic. Totally not in Clay's character to jump in, especially without magic. What is Shortbread doing? He has the Horn of Jarkul. He should probably use it.

Clay continues to rush toward the brush (in the direction of his donkey, preferably) with Ms. O'Hare on his back. He mutters with much concern about this not being why the group is here, clearly torn about leaving his companions to face a dragon. Morr follows the badger-cleric. Once he is tuched in amongst some rocks, clear of the dragon's sight, Clay works to stabilize Ms. O'Hare.

If there was time to grab the dragon tooth, Clay will take it/have Morr carry it in his mouth.

The leathered dwarf watches the dwarf go down, covered in dragon blood he will seek a vital area and chop at it, twice if necessary.

OOC: C'ang will hack at hopefully the head or something vital before him, twice. He is covered in blood (I suspect) and will give into the darkness of battle. It will be something difficult to stop.

Round 1
[1d20+2] = 10+2 = 12[1d8+2] = 3+2 = 5

Round 2
[1d20+2] = 4+2 = 6[1d8+2] = 2+2 = 4

Halfpint watches Foxy die (from what she can see). Then, the newly rescued dwarf attempts to take down the dragon. She can only hope she has made herself as hidden as she knows. She watches and waits.

(if it appears she could quietly and stealthily move around the wooded parameter to where Clay ran off to, she will. If it is on the opposite side, she will wait.)

Baxtaw- Not seeing any good outcome and no commitment from the other adventurers he pulls himself out of the fight. He moves quickly as he can away from the action and takes cover.
