Melk yawns and plays around with his hammer, juggling it in the air and catching it in the same hand.

"I don't think the dragon is coming..."
Melk yawns and plays around with his hammer, juggling it in the air and catching it in the same hand.
Sgrag will start to climb toward the back of the cave, very slowly so as to not fall. (taking 20 if i can)
Landing near everyone, but still invisible.
"The Stone suspects this dragon is either too stupid to hear us, or too intelligent to walk into our attack. The stone is inclined to assume non-white dragons fall into category two. So Gebroni, do you wish to kill the dragon for greed? or some other reason?"
Vitis Begins moving down the tunnel very slowly along the edge, stopping the moment he sees the dragon. (Vitis is currently invisible.)
Dunchard follows Vitis in the same fashion.
SHAKE, SHIVER
Shake and Shiver look to each other and shrug, and then both begin to move down the corridor, letting Vigis scout ahead but attempting to make sure they are in the front row of any other members.
You can see a colossal red dragon and... a huge humanoid with large wings on it's back tossing spells at the dragon. This humongous cavern has a ceiling 600 feet up and walls 1200 feet apart. There is a waterfall made of lava on the back wall, it provides adequate light to half the cavern and shadowy illumination to the rest.
If you don't know what the the humanoid is: knowledge (the planes) or knowledge (arcana).
Once Sgrag can see the scene he will climb down to the ground and stand, watching.
You can see that the dragon... is getting beat by the (I'm just going to say it) Pitfiend.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to help the Red Dragon?
Are you going to help the Pitfiend?
Or are you going to wait until one dies and take out the now sigular weakened enemy?
Or some other idea that you can come up with?
SHAKE
Using the Celestial aspect cast upon her, Shake flies down, engaging the red dragon with her blade.

"Let's kill the demon. The dragon will be easier to deal with," Sgrag says as he brandishes his axe.
SHIVER
Hey, wait for me shouts Shiver as she launches herself after her sister. Not listening to Sgrag's tactical advice, she lands on the other side of the dragon from Shake and uses her blade to equal effect.
[roll0] attack & [roll1] damage
[roll2] attack & [roll3] damage
[roll4] attack & [roll5] damage
[roll6] attack & [roll7] damage
Realizing he will miss his window of opportunity if he doesn't act soon, Sgrag will launch an assult on the demon from behind.

Sgrag hits with all but the last attack which the pitfiend manages to avoid.
The dragon and pitfiend are now very confused... they haven't a clue what is going. I will allow anyone who hasn't attacked yet, a surprise attack. Otherwise, roll for initiative.
Dragon: [roll0]
Pitfiend: [roll1]
Yay confusion.
Initiative
[roll0]
could we get distances from each creature, since not all of us blatantly charged into the battle.:smallannoyed:
Initiative [roll0]
Melk
Melk holds back from blindly attacking the battling duo.
SpoilerInitiative: [roll0]
[roll0] Shake initiative
[roll1] Shiver initiative
Alright, then I guess we all followed Vitris and hid behind a boulder.
Knowledge (the planes) [roll0]
When his surprise action comes, the stone takes a 5 ft step out from behind the boulder. (Honestly he was invisible, so he may not of even been behind it). As a standard action he casts arcane fusion and therefore casts true casting and then an empowered maximized enervation.
Ranged touch at the pit fiend [roll1]
Spell resistance check [roll2]
If he hits and gets through, the pit fiend takes 8 negative levels.
The stone draws his sword, adapts a stance (as a free action) that gives opponents a +4 to hit him, but they provoke AoO's. He then raises out his arm, till it is pointed at the pit fiend with his open palm up. A motion is then made, taunting the pit fiend to come closer. "Bring it"
SpoilerIs it a unfair house rule to say cohorts do not go on surprise rounds?
Vitis get's max initiative (34 count).
Vitis Darts forward invisible, lancing the Demon with a beam from his cannon, which then arcs to the Dragon.
Spoiler18 Dex damage
[roll0] vs touch flat footed AC. as a Ranged Attack.
Maximized Ranged shivering touch. Chain to dragon, for 9 Dex damage
You can tell that this cavern... doesn't belong here, it looks like it should be in one of the layers of hell.
You hit the Pitfiend and surpass its spell resistance.
I see no problem with cohorts also, participating in the surprise round...
Well... the dragon and Pitfiend are actually quite annoyed.
John, standing there completely oblivious to the dragon and pitfiend pulls a map out of his backpack. We are here, He points to a spot on the map. Atilersberg is here. He points to a spot that based on the scaling of the map that it is approximately 3 miles to the northeast of this cavern.

I'm a bit tired of everyone doing what they want whenever, so here is the initiative so far. I apologize for using your profile name than your character as I forget character's names easily if their names are hardly posted as reminders.
A valid point, but everyone gets a surprise round action currently. So if you haven't taken it, now would be the time.
Seeing that we got a surprise round was why I and Debbie posted
Melk
Melk will continue to wait things out as he wonders why a massive dragon and a large demonic looking creature would be fighting here at all. Seems very suspicious.
Though he is still readying to rage if fire attacks are thrown around...
SpoilerOkay, but I could have sworn I'd seen at least 1 person post two actions... Well, at least the Initiative order is up for everyone to see! :smallredface:
Assuming everyone has taken their surprise round actions...
That puts it at Vitis' turn.
Vitis Fires again at the pit fiend, before Flying back a good distance
SpoilerUsing Improv to boost attack roll, firing again.
[roll0] Vs FF touch AC
18 Dex damage to demon/devil thing, and 9 to the dragon.
Spoilerpit fiend followed by scrag is up
SpoilerBut shouldn't the massive Dex damage lower his Init bonus?
SpoilerI'm fairly certain the massive dex damage paralyzes them both
*Face Palm* :smallannoyed: Well... the dragon is at -8 dex and the Pitfiend is at -2... they are both paralyzed... Also, they both have enough health that if someone hit them they would die, they are immobilized so you auto hit... meaning this fight is over, and you gain adequate XP to lvl up.
SHIVER, SHAKE
Both Shiver and Shake take massive blows at the neck of the dragon, severing its head from its body.
Stupid fire breathing beast, thats what playing with fire gets you
She looks around for a moment
I believe someone said something about the dragon having treasure?
John looks up from his map... Well... that, that was fast... umm... yeah, the treasure... it's somewhere in here. john walks over to a massive rock, and flips it over... the rock surprisingly was in fact hollow, there is a massive pile of coins. There is approximately 1500000 gp there.
You are very powerful... I suppose I can tell you a little bit about myself, I am the lord who presides over Atilersberg.
Sgrag snorts and searches the demon.
You find a scroll of summon monster IX (Demons only), a staff of cure serious wounds with 10 charges, and a massive hammer that is spiked on on side (If licked the spiked side tastes of a celestial creatures blood, know (the planes) if you lick it and want to know what it came from.).
The Stone waits patiently, as Sgrag searches the devil's body. Well aware that the creatures fiery eyes watch their every move. When Sgrag is finished, The Stone moves forward.
"When you get back to hell, remember The Stone sent you!" he taunts, and decapitates the creature.
"Here is what the demon had," Sgrag says as he tosses the items on the cave floor.
SHAKE
The heat of that dragons body damaged both me and my sister. Does someone possess the ability to use that wand, and if so, can they use on me and her?
"The gebroni can try. The Stone fears nothing... The Stone was just getting warmed up when the miniature Giant kobold crippled them both."
SpoilerHow badly are we talking? less than 20? 50? 100? 200?Found it. 19.
Nazelia approaches you both, and uses a wand of vigor on you. You gain fast healing 3. It lasts for 15+ rds.
Melk
"Hey coin guy, do you know why those two beasts were at each others throats before my companion's unceremoniously curb-stomped them?"
Melk directs his question at John(?) and as the others start gathering the loot. Or more like the robots start gathering the loot.
I only knew the dragon was here... I haven't a clue why there was a Pitfiend here though, if your friend hadn't killed it with out thinking... we could have gotten some answers.
Melk
"It happens, that's why I'm known as the pacifist of the group; due to the fact that everything's usually dead before I have a chance at it."
Melk starts laughing at his own joke, though it was actually quite accurate.
"...Well, besides the Pitfiend(?), what's your deal with the silly dragon?"
Melk
"And your plan was to look like a pile of gold? I don't think dragons are big on shiny treasure, they are but simple animals. And besides, what was your out if the dragon decided he's want to liquify the gold for easy storage, considering it was a fire dragon and all?"
Melk is suspicious of John, is the same way one is suspicious of a flamboyant gentleman in a dark tavern that no-one seems to bother.
"The stone is sorry, he didn't realize you wanted to play tea party with the Devil Lord. You should have said you wanted to listen to his pack of lies as he tries to steal your soul. But if you really want to listen to a pack of lies from a creature that is contemplating killing you as soon as it gets the chance, the stone can help!"
"The Stone can tell you're a intelligent lord, because going into a dragon's lair disguised as coins is a smart plan. Also, you seem completely trustworthy, because your name is 'John'. Not having a last name is not suspicious. Nor is simply explaining why you desire the dragon dead before it died when you allegedly had a good reason. The Stone likes you, and wants to be your friend. That's why the Stone keeps looking at you and cracking his knuckles, it's how Ogres signify friend."
"Feel better? The stone is glad he could help. Drat, the Stone is still doing it...."
"Anyway Gebroni, notice the landscape. This cavern's landscape clearly matches that of the nine hells better. There's clearly some sort of planar rift or something going on. That's why there was a pit fiend. Dragons are territorial. Pit fiends are threats to dragons. So a pit fiend in a dragon's liar is a recipe for a fight. Mystery solved."
The stone pulls out a Cigar and lights it on the lava. He offers one to Vitris, ironically because it's almost as big as his arm.
"Honestly, the Stone would rather listen to the lies of a dragon. Lets animate it and awaken it. It's big enough it would make a good taxi."
The Stone then turns towards the invisible dragon and seems to be listening to something no one can hear. He nods a few times.
"Scratch that. The Stone feels that would be disrespectful to dragons of all colors."
"So the pressing question is kill the human or let him go. We have our own business to attend to. A dragon is not likely to only have some gold," Sgrag says as he starts searching the scaled corpse.
You present a valid point... it was careless of me, I'm glad that you could help.
Is it really? John proceeds to sit down on a rock to think about being "friends" with an ogre All of the things that you say sound quite reasonable.
Kill me if you must... I will not try to stop you.
On the dragon you find a series of rings on its tail, and Bracers on its fore limbs... I'm going to assume you search all of the dragon, including its GI tract, in which you find 6000gp and 60 jewels... apparently he was hungry...:smallamused:
