Subject Map
Is anyone else viewing these PDF's in a way that makes them make sense? The map seems to be too big for Adobe.
Can you send the excel file again Mark?

If the flame sphere is close enough to attack the landed dragon, Salix will attack with it. If not, he will move it as close as possible to the dragon while still being able to attack with the sling. (If that's 0 ft., Oh well.)

Actually using a missle weapon at 0 feet provokes an AOO.
Also it is a move action to reload the sling. Salix can "drop" the sling and plull his sword as part of his move action and then make a normal attack.

First,
I messed up Ranthir roll last night. I forgot the -4 for shooting into melee. His roll would have been 8+6=14, miss. It did not effect the overall outcome.
Second,
I want to congradulate Porter and his wife Beverly on the birth of thier son Hyrum.

I think you misunderstand. I want to move the sphere as much as possible prior to attacking with the sling (if "as much as possible" is zero, then OK, or in other words, forget moving the sphere.)
I don't think Salix is at 0 feet range and therefore shouldn't provoke and AOO. The dragon landed at Mund, right, a fair distance from Salix, right?
I had to be vague since I didn't see the sphere marked on the map and have no idea where it is in relation to where the dragon is now. Is it close enough to attack the now-landed dragon with it?

Ok I thought you wanted Salix to move close enough to attack with the sling.
Ok here is the situation. The ball is within 30 feet of the dragon since it can not have moved more than 30 feet this round. I will let it be with in 30 feet of the dragon this turn.
If Salix directs the ball he can not reload his sling. Reloading a sling is a move action. So then Salix's action this round would be to attack the dragon with the ball.

Sounds good. He would not want to waste the grace of Obad-Hai if it was still useful.

Harp watches as the dragon flies around. Damn, that thing could move, and turn. It was like it had the ability to turn in mid flight. At least he had gotten Allistair out of the direct line of attack. Turning himself to stand between the dragon and Allistair, Harp tries to decide what to do. It is too far to try his crossbow, even if he had an bolts left. He was too far away to attack it with his sword. He had one option left. Harp places his right hand, still gripping his longsword, over his heart, and says a simple prayer, asking the Battle lord to provide him a weapon that might hurt this beast. When it appears by the dragon, Harp wills it to attack the beast. Harp then looks over his should at Allistair and asks "Are you OK here by yourself, or do you want me to stay?" Harp wants to run up and help attack the beast, but knows that he probably should not leave their mage here alone.
OOC:Mark, the above assumes that the dragon will be occupied with the folks in front of it and that it is within range of my Spiritual Weapon. If it moves closer to Allistair, the Harp will do what he can to block its way - or if it is within 1 move action, Harp will move and attack it with his sword.

Considering all the area to the area to the north and to the east of the dragon is open, it should be simple to aim the blast radius of another fireball so that it will hit the dragon but not Mund. That being the case, time for some roasted dragon!
Also, could Allistair hear what the dragon said to Mund?
From: Mark
Subject Round 3 actions
He was a ways away and otherwise occupied.
Just to let you know, this one is going to be harder to aim then the time you did this with the land shark. The landshark was a 10 x 10 creature, this one is a 5 foot square. I am going to make you roll a to hit roll to hit the proper square, sort of like throwing a splash weapon. Of course, Mund has a good REF save and a lot of hit points. :)

If left to his own devices, Ragnar will charge the dragon, ending up next to Mund I expect. If Harp orders him to stay back and protect Allistair or anything else, he'll do that.

Ranthir will continue to try his luck with the crossbow.

Surin is a bit discouraged to find that the dragon didn't hardly seem to even notice his sling bullet. Hugging the wall, he inches a bit closer to it to try another shot.
OOC: The way I'm reading the map, Surin is too far away for his ranged attack to be effective. He'll move this round and try to get a better line of sight. :)

Subject Round 3 actions
actually his sling has range increments of 50 feet,however, he would take a -2 for each 50 feet past the first as well as a -4 for shooting into combat unless he has a feat that gets rid of that.

Excellent! The dragon took the bait -- Mund himself. It looks like he does understand common. Either that, or he can tell what a tasty piece of man-flesh Mund is.
Mund hits the dragon square on the snout. It doesn't seem to hurt it much, so Mund decides to press the verbal attack.
"Yeah, you liked that, didn't you! Your mama liked it last night! What's the matter? You can't handle one scrawny little human?"
Mund then yells out to the magicker out there: "Don't worry about me! Fry this bastard!"
