The dragon's return to the sky is greeted by more missiles. A ballista bolt catches it in the thigh, but it doesn't appear to penetrate deeply. A few arrows find their mark as well

Noticing the red marker seems to be tracking his position in particular, you can see Sir Onthar waving off the two men riding with him, and he starts weaving in between buildings, using them to delay contact with the dragon thanks to its relatively poor maneuverability.

Keeping an eye on the others down there, you notice that the others of the Order have regrouped, and appear to be following behind the dragon's path. The Flaming Fists however appear to be riding hard back towards the cavern entrance.

Fay sees his bolt hit it's mark. He notices it isn't much damage, but it's a start. He smiles at Lia as he reloads for another shot. He orders the other crew to do the same. "Strike true" he murmurs.

Poljen's admiration for Sir Onthar grows as he once more aims at the enormous blue reptilian creature. He suspects that even if he ran now down the tower stairs, through the fort and down the tunnels into the cavern, he'd miss any fighting, so he keeps shooting.

Out of Character: : Not sure when it will be in range for shooting without disad.

When the flaming fist makes it back to the caverns Cratol will open the door for them. He will make sure no enemy makes it in.

Lia grins as Fay's bolt hits home. Hearing him sing an elven tune her heart soars. She truly feels that nothing is impossible. Lia knows that she needs to do something to attract more attention to herself. She doesn't want the dragon to attack the ballistas. Humming an elven song about moon lit meadows she draws her bow back as far as she dares and lets fly another arrow. Nocking another arrow she sends it in pursuit of the first.

Specific Action: She targets the dragon with the sharpshooter feat power attack shot in round 1 and the normal shot in round 2.

The dragon continues to ignore the arrows peppering its hide, as two more bolts sail harmlessly by.

Sir Onthar ducks down another alley, only to find a tall fence blocking his path at the other end. The paladin tries to double back, but the dragon dives down, and comes to a skidding landing to cut him off.

The dragon isn't the only one to land nearby, a blue scaled Urd alights on the building north of Onthar, and bows to the dragon before raising a gnarled staff, which glows briefly as he casts a spell. The red sphere disappears as dust from the street begins to kick up, blown about by strong winds in between the dragon and the fort.

Onthar's men are further down the street and around a corner, they appear to be getting ready to charge at the dragon's flank.

There is a commotion behind you as about twenty men come marching up the fort's stairs, they're split up in pairs, each pair is carrying a large and thick wooden panel by rope handles. They look like they were ripped off of sides of the wagons you brought into town. The men split up, and position themselves just ahead of various defenders.

Out of Character: additional details in the support thread.

Poljen curses aloud, then says, "Kill that mage! If he dies, so does the spell protecting the dragon from the ballista. Hells, even target him with the ballistas until he is down!" He resumes firing his own bow, this time at the Urd.

Frustrated that both bolts missed their mark and now that they can't target the dragon at all, Fay aims at the sorcerer. He orders the other ballista to target him as well. He concentrates and then, twang, off goes the bolt flying towards its target. He hears the other fire shortly after. He looks at his compatriots and sees them all engaged in an attack of one sort or another. He saves his last glance for Lia, "By the gods may we win here. I have too much to learn of this Elf Lady, my mother, to fail her now."
