I just thought about something… I hope this dragon can't sense the black dragon mask on Zarra. That would be brutal if it managed to snag the mask and flee.

We will soon see how intelligent a white dragon is. Will it attack the obvious danger in the barbarian or realize that it should maybe target those boosting and healing the barbarian after the first round or two.

Honestly, I kind of miss the advanced dragons of 3.5, that could spell cast, shape change and actually be worthy of the title 'Ancient'. These monsters seems to be basically beasts with intelligence.

Okay, battlemap has been updated. I've made some guesses on where people wish to position themselves to start. Please confirm if there are any immediate changes needed. I'll be trying to get this party started in a few hours.

For those on the edges of the cavern, there are icy stalagmites to take cover behind, though the center is clear of such obstacles.

The section colored in light grey indicates where Glazhael's ledge is.

The Protector. says...

How, high does the cavern look Dai?
Is Glazhaels body lying in a north south orientation? With head facing south?
Obviously, the dragon being centered inside the greyed out area.

So, the majority of us are standing behind huge, staligmites? With at least 50% cover, or more? On the edges. Each, square being 10 feet? The cavern increasing in height, and depth towards the greyed out area? The illumination, comming from outside sunlight?

High point of the cavern is around 80 feet. The average would be closer to 70. Glazhael's lying on the ledge facing in your direction, pretty much as the embedded picture shows. And yes, that image size roughly shows how much space he occupies. Squares are 5' each. Some of the ice in here is glowing, enough for dim illumination throughout.

The Protector. says...

A very interesting question Cinder, that you posed for Tazskan, on whether he rushes off into melee for first round.

Although, as I've done the maths during melee, Tazskan could technically do more damage, thanks to divine smite, and divine favor yielding a maximum of 32 damage.(Costing two 1st level slot spells).

However at this stage of the game, it may prove more economical to unleash a volley of Eldritch blasts(Free of charge) at 26 maximum damage.

But, I realize that Tazskan will need to engage the dragon in melee, during some stage. It may be sooner than latter.

Unfortunately, the Warlocks, Shatter spell may cause collateral damage with falling, stalactites in the cavern. So I think, may have to hold off on that one!

Oh, just a reminder, Poljen has an extra +2 added to his AC at the moment.

Letting the Dungeon Master know on my roll first line was attack 1 and second line is attack 2 for the advantage of best roll. I did notice I was able to get a critical hit with my Ki strikes.

Divine favor does specify it works with weapons. You could use it with a bow, but not a spell.
