Lia barely hears Poljen yelling as she is still zoned in. She studies the Urd that alighted between her and the great drake. A small smile crosses her face. She thinks here indeed is an easy target. There is a good chance he is the one marking the position of Sir Onthar. She looks to Fay calmly. "Ionneg, we will survive this day. Trust in Sune. She will deliver us. " She draws back her bow and rapidly fires two shots.

Specific Action: She will target the Urd until he goes down. If it drops the first turn the second shot will be against the dragon.

The dragon breaths down on Sir Onthar with a deadly stream of lightning. The celestial spirit that serves as his mount is overwhelmed, and disappears, dropping the paladin to the ground.

Onthar appears to be significantly weakened by the blast, but he manages to stand, and charges in, his blade beginning to glow. There is a loud booming noise, as if from a distant lightning strike, and the dragon staggers back a pace as if punched by a Cloud Giant.

The others among the Order of the Gauntlet charge in, and assault the dragon's flank and tail. Some of their weapons bite deep, including a lance left impaling its right thigh.

In response, the dragon lashes out with its thick tail and beats its wings, knocking most of his foe to the ground, and causing the remaining steeds to flee the scene in spite of their war training.

Meanwhile, an arrow from Lia's bow strikes the urd sorcerer. He staggers back, and appears to be about to fly off somewhere safer when a ballista bolt punches through his side, impaling the chest cavity. Like a broken toy, the winged kobold is flung off of the rooftop by the force of impact. A few moments later, the wall of wind dissipates.

The dragon turns its attention back to Sir Onthar. Slamming a paw down on the fallen paladin's chest, it brings its maw down. When it turns back to Onthar's companions, it spits out what would appear to be his head.

Yelling with fury, they resume their assault, mostly striking at the head and neck, though one daring man slips underneath and begins hacking at the webbing of its wings with an axe.

As arrows from the fort once again begin pelting its form, the dragon beats its wings to drive the others back again, and slaps the only one who remained standing with its tail. She is flung to the ground, and does not rise again. Lia's second arrow manages to find a chink in the thick scales of the dragon's neck, and it drives deep, causing it to roar with pain.

The barbarian gives a gutteral cry as he watches the cursed beast slay the stalwart paladin. "That creature will pay for this! Maybe not today, but someday!" He continues shooting at it, grinning at the pain Lia causes it.

Cahleth hesitates for a moment upon seeing Onthar slain in such a gruesome manner. He tries to blink away the disturbing image, refocusing his thoughts on the threat at hand. There will be time for grieving, but this is not it.

He looses an arrow toward the blue beast, hoping that these combined efforts can drive the creature away before the death toll escalates.

As she creeps between the buildings underneath the protection of her magic, Nyzahr is following the curious red sphere and is soon (Albeit very carefully) making a beeline towards the ghastly scene.

As she comes upon the carnage perpetuated by the dragon, she pauses to evaluate her new course of action, throwing a quick look between the huge winged beast raging over Sir Onthar's bloody remains, the scattered members of the paladin's escort and the rest of the defenders up on the walls.

Out of Character: : she stays well away from the dragon's reach for now, but if she witnessed the death of the Urd Mage she may want to discreetly make her way to his cadaver to try and pick up his magic staff… that all depends wether or not she gets within the dragon's "Kill zone" or not (Something she will definitely try to avoid). Any other enemies within sight here, or is it just the dragon on his own for now ?

Out of Character: the urd's death was fairly high profile, so yes I'd say she saw it. His body landed well away from the Dragon fight, on a street to the east.

There is no sign of any other enemies at the moment.

Sadness barely touches Lia through her focus. All she can see is the great drake. She knows it must stopped as soon as possible. " Well done Ionneg. Great shot. " She smiles at Fay. The elf looks back to the dragon and takes aim. She looses two more arrows.

Out of Character: : Don't forget it's still long range to the dragon everyone. When it is within normal bow range we will have a serious problem.

Smiling broadly at Lia, Fay says, "Amillë, now we target that blue winged beast." He looks towards the dragon, "We shall tear it from the sk… " His voice trails off and his smile flees from his face as he sees what the creature did to Sir Onthar. Although he knew Onthar little, the sheer evilness of the act affects him. He aims the ballista at the beast and lets loose a bolt and orders the other ballista to do the same.

While doing so, Fay hums an old legend about the banishment of Tiamat for Lia to hear and use as inspiration.

Out of Character: Another 1d6 inspiration die for Lia since she used the last so effectively…
