Chapter 1: Something in the Water
After 6 days at sea, you hear a crew member in the crows nest yell, "Land Ho!" Everyone looks in the direction he points and you think you see a small speck in the distance. You assume it must be land, based on the man in the crows nest having a spyglass and thus can see the far away speck later. You imagine it will still take a few more hours to actually approach the island, though.

Before anyone can celebrate, the man in the crows nest yells, "Captain! Something in the water!" As everyone continues to look in the direction of the speck presumed to be your destination, it appears that a set of red fins sticking out of the water is coming towards the boat. The fins fold, merging with the water, and disappear. The air is tense as the crew hopes it was just some exotic sharks. The tension is broken by the boat shaking and most of the heroes who are not used to boats likely falling down or at least dropping to one knee. After quickly getting back up, the captain yells, "It must be the dragon! Everyone, to your stations! Crew, we are no match for the beast. I will man the helm. Everyone else, focus on your own safety, and help keep the ship afloat! Heroes, do what you can to take care of the beast! It is bound to come up soon. I pray it doesn't just destroy the bottom of the boat."
OOC:
You all have 1 round to do something. I will roll initiative, but combat is not quite started yet. Please post where on the ship's deck you want to be. I will make another post below this one with the ship's layout and initiative. Declare what you do with any action or bonus action and where on the ship you are, then combat will start.

If you have a magic item that gives you advantage on initiative, roll another initiative check as part of your post and if it is higher I will replace it. Otherwise I will use what I rolled for you.

"I was joking, ocean mother," Omeros sighed, remembering the ways in which lesser comments had led to the greatest heroes' falls.

"Come, Invictus!" the satyr intoned while he grasped at seemingly empty air, and his fist closed on the beautiful hilt of a bladeless sword.

"Dawn!"

Once the brilliant blade of pure light flashed from the Invictus hilt, Omeros readied his shield then rushed to port!

As you all prepare, @annex Omeros and Kadmos are the first to leap into action. Everyone that is within 10 feet of the edge of the boat sees the water ripple as if something long and thin is swimming 10 feet under the surface of the water. The riple suddenly splits, one going to the port (north) and one going to starboard (south). Kelnes and Omeros are able to see what looks to be a serpent swimming by the boat, ready to emerge but not until after Omeros and Kadmos leap into action.

just as an FYI, if anyone feels they can't do anything some round, you can use your action to roll. A DC 17 History or Nature check to see if you know something about this enemy. History would provide stories of what the monster has done to other ships, and nature would be about it's biology and possibly abilities

Sea Serpent

The serpent on the starboard (south) sticks its large head out of the water high up enough that it towers 15 feet over the ship where everyone stands. Omeros, being on the port (north) side of the ship, does not release his reaction just yet, as his focus was on the other serpent that is still hiding within the water. As the starboard serpent sees everyone, it looks at those on board. It opens its large maw and exhales a thick gust of frigid air that would chill any normal man to the bone on Kelnes, Isaiah, and Kadmos. With its lungs empty from exhaling, it takes a deep breath and looks to see what the others do.
OOC:
Summary:
Kadmos: 20 cold damage, and did not lose concentration on heroism
Isaiah: 20 cold damage
Kelnes: 41 cold damage

@MaJunior Small note: I realized you held booming blade. Holding a spell, even a cantrip, requires concentration. Fow now, i'll say you held a normal weapon attack, but in the future if you hold a cantrip while concentrating on a spell the concentration is broken.

@runekyndig Aurora is up, then the other serpent

OOC:
Okay, a lot happened on just that one turn. Some notes. I see you rolled with advantage. In order to keep things moving, I will assume you took the bonus action to hide first, as technically with a 16 it would have spotted you. I probably should have told you that, my bad. As such you are not hidden right now, as to keep the advantage you would have had to attempt another hide and then attacked. Also, the poison isn't rolled a second time. Crits only roll double damage for the damage dice of the attack. Because the enemy makes a save, the wyvern poison is a result of a hit, not a part of the attack's damage dice. You still get to roll double sneak attack dice, though, so good there. Also, it passed the save vs the poison, so the total damage you dealt was 65. Oh, and we can say it got hit in the eye, but there is not called shots or such system here so it's not blinded or such. It is pissed, though. I'm going to assume you shot at serpent 2, since you didn't declare which one and there are 2 so I need to know which one.

Chapter 1: Something in the Water
Sea Serpent

The port (north) serpent (1), like the first, comes out of the water and surveys the boat. Omeron, waiting for this, blasts the serpent with all three beams. Angered, the serpent looks and sees that it has just enough space to breath a blast of friggid breath on four of the heroes. It does so, and then inhales to regain its breath.

Chironides, as this happens, leaps off the boat to lance the starboard serpent, striking once and missing just barely with the second.
OOC:
Summary:
Omeron: 36 cold damage
Aurora: 36 cold damage
Kelnes: 18 cold damage (36 but resistance halves to 18)
Isaiah: 9 cold damage (18 from success, halved by absorb elements)

Chironides already went, so Kelnes and Isaiah are up.

Good point about not critting on poison damage. It did in the PC game Solasta: Crown of the Magister that was properly the last time I played with poisons and the reason for my assumption.
The eye hit was a narration of a crit, not an assumption of further effects.

Based on the initiative list I kind of assumed that Serpent 2 was the one out of water, and serpent 1 would rise after my turn, so yes S2 was the target of my hit.

Uncanny dodge sadly does not apply. It's one of those things that doesn't make sense until you accept that "attack" doesn't just mean "an attempt to harm someone" but instead "something with an attack roll". If the serpent bit you, that would trigger uncanny dodge, but not a breath weapon, as there is no attack roll involved. It's semantics, but it is how the designers wrote it. I am a bit of a rules enthusiast.

The word of the gods slipped from the satyr's lips as the frost washed over him, and the resultant hellfire which burst from within him in turn washed over the sea serpent.

Omeros knew he couldn't survive another icy blast like that but pressed the attack and fired more force at it.

Shall I keep all the glory for killing this one myself?! he laughed raucously to the others, then decided to take up a new tactical position near the boat's rear in a burst of twinkling mist.

Kadmos struggles to find any opportunity to strike the creature that is keeping its distance from the boat.
OOC:
Which serpent? where are you standing? and how are you going to strike at a creature that is 15 feet from the boat? D&D 5e can be a bit weird about how a monster can have a 10+ foot reach with an appendage (claw, bite, tail, etc.) but as far as I can tell the creature never gets closer and thus never gets into reach. If you don't have some way to close the gap, I can let you hold your action, using the first attack you made, and when the serpent attacks i'll have one of the attacks be against you. As such, I'll rule that part of it got close enough to swipe at, despite the space it occupied being too far away. If you have an idea to do something about the distance, i'll hear you out.

Sea Serpent
OOC:
If you want to roll a history or nature check, or to spend an action loading a cannon, you can do that.
The serpent on the port (north) side reels from the flames. It does not appear to resist the flames, and being only partially underwater does not protect it as if it were fully submerged.
The serpent on the starboard (south) side sees Kelnes underwater and remembers the attacks its suffered. It elects to dive underwater and try and maul Kelnes. It successfully wraps its lower body around him and constricts him like a snake. Restrained, Kelnes sees the jaws coming towards it with increased accuracy.
OOC:
Summary:
Kelnes takes 29 bludgeoning damage and is now restrained (Escape DC 20). Both he and the serpent are underwater

Chapter 1: Something in the Water
Sea Serpent

After Aurora took her turn, Serpent 2 would have taken a legendary action to attack Aurora, but she was out of reach so it tried to bite Kelnes.
After Serpent 1 went, Serpent 2 would have used its tail against Isaiah.
After Kelnes, Isaiah, and Chironides went, Serpent 1 would have, with only 1 target in reach, Serpent 1 would have tried to bite Omeros and then slap him with his tail.

Tail attacks knock people 20 feet away, but for now I will ignore that and only impose that on future tail attacks. With serpent 2 taking its turn, it now has legendary actions again, though most likely it will spend all of them on Kelnes as it now has him held underwater and is thus out of range of everyone else.

Isaiah takes 9 bludgeoning damage
Omeros takes 17 damage (15 piercing, 2 cold)

Sea Serpent

Aurora's arrow seems wobbly at first but flies true in the end. The serpent reals and looks at the boat, testing its throat. Feeling the chill come back, it knows it can breathe once more on those on the boat. However, it takes a look at Omeros, the one who has harmed it the most, and decides instead to attempt to pull him off the boat with his tail. With this success, it then moves away from the boat and begins to dive underwater, Omeros in tow. As soon as they get underwater, the serpent attempts to bite his newly restrained snack.

As this occurs, the portside (south) serpent attempts to bite Kelnes with a legendary action.
OOC:
Summary:
Omeros is now restrained and taken underwater, taking 50 damage (21 bludgeoning and 28 piercing and 1 cold) in the process.
Kelness takes 23 damage (24, but 2 of it is cold so 23)

Kelnes & Isaiah & Chironides are now up. The serpents are about 30 feet underwater and the boat is about 20 feet high, so anyone standing at the edge is about 50-60 feet from them. As such, they have resistance to fire right now and any ranged weapon attack probably has disadvantage. if you feel you have no actions, you can start loading a cannon so it will take less to fire when they come back up.

For those restrained by the serpent, despite the fact you are likely out of reach you may still attack the serpent at disadvantage, as while RAW it is out of reach unless you have a 15 foot reach, part of its body is around you and that would be in reach. Just remember to replace 1d20 with 2d20L1
As you are fighting, the captain yells, "There is a crate by the mast with potions of water breathing. It won't help you swim, but if you are brave enough to go in after your friends I suggest drinking one first. I didn't mention it as we normally save them for underwater exploration for treasure."

Sea Serpent

The sea serpent considers going back above for someone else to drag overboard, but sees Kelnes swimming towards him. Seeing that it would be safe from those up top by being under the boat, the serpent lets go of Omeros and swims over to Kelnes, attempting to constrict and bite him.
OOC:
Summary:
Kelnes is restrained and takes 25 bludgeoning damage from constrict, 26 piercing damage from the bite, and 12 cold damage from the bite (halved to 6 from resistance)

As you all continue to collect yourselves, you notice a few men from the crew on the ground, frozen and not moving. It doesn't take any medical examination to tell that these sailors died instantly from the cold breath of the serpents. The captain tells one of the crew to take over the helm and he walks down to you all as you continue healing each other. "Every life lost is a tragedy, but they knew what was possible by coming aboard this trip. As for the next leg of our trip, we will need all of your help. In about an hour, we will get close enough to the coast that we will have to make it past the rocky coast to find somewhere to drop you off. The coast is too deadly for small boats. They will be torn apart. Our only hope is to take a very specific path to get the main boat through. Be ready."

The rocks would hide our approach, meaning it might be possible for you all to approach the monster's lair unseen, though only might. If you fly in, I doubt you would make it to the beach before you are spotted and attacked mid air over the rocks. If we take the boat, the rocks might damage the boat but we could hide our approach."

I think what he’s saying is an airborne giant eagle would be easier to spot since it’s in the air. Also for this campaign the Dm wanted limits on flying and teleportation
"I will take my chances on the ship. I am not suited to riding on flying animals. Perhaps the Triton here can help with the ship’s navigation. A scout that can see underwater is boon to a ship wishing to avoid unseen hazards"

OOC:
I'll go ahead and level set with you all. The plan was to have the boat have to navigate through sharp rocks to get close to the beach and let you guys off, which would be handled by a skill challenge. If you guys want to circumvent it, I should probably be ok with it, as players are supposed to be empowered. Just keep these things in mind:

If the boat is left behind, you will have to get back to it somehow.

If you go by air there is an extremely high chance of being spotted as there is a guardian that would notice you.

The water is deep enough for the boat, but sharp rocks can damage the hull. A small boat can navigate failure easily, but is still not safe.

Essentially, I see you have these options:
1. Take to the skies but risk getting attacked mid air over the water.
2. Take a small boat, which would be stealthy but easier for the rocks to break.
3. Take the ship and crew, but you will need to help it get through safely.

As a player I prefer to use my brain to solve 5e challenges in a safe way. Only hope for dice not to screw mew up I fail to come up with safe solution.
But if that's only me I'm cool with following what other players want.

My other idea was:
1. Turn into giant Octopus
2. Everyone but Kelnes dring water breath potions captain suggested during fight
3. Tie a rope to the Octopus and swim under the water ( if it is deep enough to large ship, it should be safe for a creature with native swim speed)
4. Large creature with str 17 should be albe to drag 3-4 PCs under the water as he swims, shouldn't it...

Method of approach?

Take a small boat. Pro: those in boat are able to help. Con: if boat hits rock it will break
Use a wild shape octopus, water breathing potions, and rope to drag everyone to shore. Pro: very stealthy. Con: those without swim speed will not be much help if something happens

The Octopus (Isaiah) and Triton (Kelnes) underwater and pulling on ropes tied to the small boat would the perfect way to precisely guide the boat through any underwater threats such as rocks... they would be able to detect dangerous shallows and rocks ahed of time and then move the boat as needed to avoid damage.

I see 3 voted for underwater and that is the majority
The captain listens to your plan. "Fair enough. I will lose less men if we don't come with, though I fear for the safety of the princess. You will need to get her back to the boat. Let us see how many potions we have. We don't normally keep a ton, as the hour they last is normally plenty and no 2 or 3 men need to go at a time. Unless you come up with another way to get her back here, the princess will need a potion too on your way back, let alone another round for each of you."
OOC:
I am going to roll for how many they have. You will need 4 minimum for the 4 of you that aren't a triton. I will roll 1d10+3. If the d10 rolls a 6, there will be 9, enough for 4 now and 5 later. Anything less and you will have an issue to deal with at the end.

8, so one of you will need to figure out, on the way out or back, how to survive underwater for extended periods of time or else the princess won't have one

Based on your ideas, I say at this point there isn't really going to be any issue getting to the beach. I think just saying "You take the small boat and make it to shore" and skip to the next challenge would be better than the conversation that is getting people confused. Unless someone disagrees, I'll just do that. After all, the gorgon queen's lair isn't on the beach. You have to find it while avoiding the guardians, so dealing with that is probably going to be more interesting than this, which you all seem to have solved for the most part.

As you all make it to shore, you notice something overhead. It is unmistakably a blue dragon, likely an adult by the size. You all manage to evade its notice, but it is clearly on the lookout. After it flies away, you realize that the lair is nowhere to be seen. The island isn't too big, but is might take a decent portion of the day to find. All the while, if you wish to save resources, you may want to avoid being seen by the dragon or anyone else who may be here also on patrol.
OOC:
Here is what I'm imagining. Unless you find some way to just know where the lair is, which would have to be magic, this will be a skill challenge. For those unfamiliar, here are the rules:
[ +- ] Skill Challenge Rules
Goal: Find Hythonia's lair without getting caught by the dragon or Hythonia's worshipers.
Skill DC: 18
Ability DC: 13
Success:
- 0 failure: Party finds lair undetected and quicky
- 1 failure: Party finds lair, but 50% chance was spotted on the way in
- 2 failure: Party finds lair, but was spotted on the way in and it is getting dark
Failure: Party is spotted by the dragon and worshipers, but will find the lair afterwards.

I will use the Current Battle Information thread to keep track of successes and failures.

"Time to get serious. For the glory of Iroas."

"Hythonia does not wish to have visitors at this time, let alone armed ones." It then takes a small gem in its hands and tosses it up in the air. As it gets higher, it gets brighter and brighter until it can be seen even in the later afternoon sun. This is likely a signal to tell the dragon where you are. Luckily, the dragon does not appear to be here yet. Perhaps you have a round or two before it would arrive. Until then, these snake men seem hostile.

I believe the hooves are your bonus action, and you aren't hasted so not sure where the 2nd attack came from. I'm also not sure about the movement. To use the hooves, you need to move 30 feet first. I estimate with 70 speed that you could get to M3, not P3. I'll resolve your turn once I hear from you.

Since Kadmos is ganging up on the same enemy, I'll have to wait to resolve his turn until after this too, as I don't want to make him waste attacks on an already dead enemy.

Kelnes: Restrained and 10 bludgeoning damage 4 piercing and 7 poison damage
Argos: Restrained and 12 bludgeoning damage and 7 piercing and 6 poison damage

I will update the combat log with who is restrained by who so we know who is freed when an enemy does.if 2 enemies hit the same person with construct, I will say only the first constricted and the second did more of a tail slap

Isaiah and Kelnes may go. Remember restrained means 0 speed and disadvantage on attacks. Escape DC is 13 and takes an action to attempt. You are still able to cast spells, though. Nothing in the rules affect that.

Another Celestial word made Omeros disappear in a starry mist then reappear in a similar mist nearby. He capered even further from the battle, knowing he barely escaped the slitherers' poisoned fangs and not wanting to push his luck yet again with serpents, sea or otherwise. Once positioned, he spoke other words taught to him through dreams by thunderous Keranos.

Worshiper of Hythonia

Chiron runs up and smacks one of the snake men, while omeros teleports out of his grapple and move a good distance away. Kadmos strikes down one of the snake men and continues on the other.

One of the snake men hisses as he sees two of his allies dead on the ground. "These people are dangerousssss! Protect our Queen! The dragon will appear ssssoon!" With that, they snake men continue their assault.

1-1, who is still grappling Isaiah, goes in for two bites on his squeezed victim.
1-2, seeing the elemental and familiar enough with what to do when such things suddenly appear, gangs up on the druid that 1-1 has tied up with its own flurry of bites, hoping to make the elemental go away.
1-3 attempts to constrict Kadmos. Failing to do so, he attempts a bite anyways.
2-1 sees an opportunity to run up to the horse man and takes it, attempting to constrict him. Seeing how good Chirondies armor is, he decies to attempt to grab the horse man the old fashion way. (Yes, in case anyone would have noticed, I know the rule is you can replace a grapple as part of the attack action, and multiattack is not the attack action, but I generally let monsters replace at least 1 of their multiattack with the shove or grapple action like a PC can.). Even that fails, however.
2-2 and 2-3 gang up on the triton warrior, with no real other target to go for. 2-2 attempts to constrict and succeeds. 2-2 follows up with a bite, followed by 2-3 seeing that Kelnes is constricted and following up with 2 bites of their own.
OOC:
Summary: (see below for who rolled what against who, as well as damage type breakdown)
Isaiah: 50 damage, still grappled and restrained from before, and I need 4 DC 10 Constitution saving throws for concentration.
Kelnes: 30 damage and is now grappled (escape DC 13), and restrained while grappled, by 2-2

Please do not post until after you see the dragon's turn finish
Kelnes slashes twice into the snake man holding him, killing him with the second blow but without need of the second smite. he then uses the pommel to bash the other snake mane, using his second smite on that blow which kills that snake man. (Note: 2-3 died and was Omeros's cursed target, if that matters for anything)

Isaiah changes his constellation and heals Kelnes for 13 hp and himself for 21 hp. His elemental looks over to obey his master, only to find that Kelnes had protected himself. it then decides to keep the "protect" command, but do so by protecting his master instead. It moves past Kelnes and a little up so that it can safely get to the snake man constricting its master and proceeds to strike it, dealing good damage but not giving the snake man any lasting injuries.

Kadmos slashes the snake man three good times, spilling the man's blood but not causing him to fall down. The snake man gives a pained but angry look, but smiles a bit as he sees the dragon come in.

Chapter 1: Something in the Water
Blue Dragon

The dragon flies overhead and surveys the battlefield. It looks for the most people it can catch in its breath as it flies over the battlefield.
OOC:
The way I tend to handle breath weapons for dragons is that they can be used in special ways while they fly. Cones can become radiuses with a diameter based on the cone's size, limited by the height it can achieve if there is a limit. Lines can be held as it flies past, thus the line might be longer because the line is continuous going as it flies overhead, with the length being how close it has to be to the ground.
It sees the best way to get 3 people in the line is to fly from the south-west and go over Chironides, then through Kel and Isaiah. Any other pattern would yield only 2 people. It gets in position and breathes lighting straight on the ground, electrifying everything directly below it as it passes over and flies off, ending its turn nearby but high off the ground (in this case, 40 feet off the ground).
OOC:
Looks like all 4 take 73 damage, though I suspect Isaiah will use absorb elements. No one is a rogue or monk, so I don't think anyone has evasion. I need Isaiah to make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw, assuming the absorb elements that reduces his damage to 36, half of which is 18. Chironides also casted absorb elements, taking 36 instead of 73.

@Basil For the record, I just realized you assumed flanking was available. I have a house rule at my table, but technically flanking is an optional rule and can't be assumed to be in affect. For all, flanking in my games gives a flat +2, not advantage, but I never said flanking was active. It is available as of now, but do not give yourself advantage. Give yourself a +2. I prefer that rule so that features that provide advantage are still worth investing in.
Chironides hits and shifts the snake man, using the new opening to help Kadmos some.
Omeros blasts one of the snake men dead, finishing with the one grabbing Isaiah. His first shot hits, however his second shot vears off as he fears hitting Isaiah.

Worshiper of Hythonia

The three remaining snake men look at the dragon with delight, though this delight is cut short as they realize how many of their brothers in worship have been slain. The two fighting Isaiah and Kelnes consider fleeing, but know such actions would result in their death anyways at the hands of those near them and thus decide to fight to the death. The one Chironides does, however, consider fleeing. It almost works up the courage to stay, but ultimately gives in.
OOC:
Summary:
1-1 deals 13 damage to Isaiah (7 piercing and 6 poison)
1-2 deals 13 bludgeoning damage (before resistance) to Kelnes and restrains him as he is grappled

Blue Dragon

The dragon inhales, checking it's breath. No sparks appear, so the dragon makes plans without that option available. It's presence radiates from it, as each member of the party is forced to steal their will before it swoops down. It lands near Kadmos and Kelnes, people who it can see are shaking from its presence. It uses its long neck to try and bite Kelnes and uses both of its claws to slash at Kadmos.
OOC:
Ok, SUPER IMPORTANT: The dragon has legendary actions. Chironides and Omeros are up next. Whichever posts first goes first unless they ask to be second. Whoever goes first, the dragon is still on the ground occupying D6 to F8.
The first legendary action it is going to take is to use its tail against Kadmos. The second legendary action it is going to take is to use Wing attack against Kadmos, Kelnes, and the elemental and then move to where you see it on the map now. Kadmos and the elemental may make opportunity attacks as it moves, though if they are frightened or prone then the attack is at disadvantage. I am rolling things now, but that is when they will actually occur. if somehow someone does something that ruins those actions, I will make a new post.

SUMMARY:
Frightened: Chironides, Kadmos, Kelnes, Earth Elemental

Kelnes takes 20 piercing damage and 5 lightning damage
Kadmos takes 34 slashing damage (16 and 18)

Seeing the dragon, the snake man is conflicted. He is near death and knows these warriors can cut him down easily. However, he decides to attempt to flee. Most likely, he assumes the dragon will be a big enough distraction that finishing him off will be seen as a waste of time. He disengages and starts to flee. If given the chance next round, he will escape.

As for the one that had already started fleeing earlier, the combination of chaos and the tree line makes it so he is effectively out of combat.

Both Kelnes and the Elemental are still frightened. Reminder: You have disadvantage on attack rolls "while the source of its fear is within line of sight." As such, even if you are attacking something that is facing away from the dragon, if the dragon is able to be seen by you if you looked in its direction, you still have disadvantage regardless of who you attack.

There is a section in the battle information listing who is frightened. Please check it before rolling.

Chapter 1: Something in the Water
Blue Dragon

The dragon takes the small shots at it and inhales as it checks its breath while looking at who it is dealing with again. It seems frustrated that it can't feel the tingle of static in its throat yet. It looks around for a good set of targets. It may be a brute, but it is one that has lived hundreds of years, and survival requires some level of battle understanding.

It sees that the party is fairly spread out. It sees Chironides, who is well armored and barely a pest, and passes. It sees Kadmos who had just thrown the surprisingly potent fire bolt and considers him. Kelnes had stabbed it pretty good and went down, but seems to be back up again. The thought makes it scowl. It sees the elemental and knows such creatures tend not to attack the snake men here. It hears the verbal commands from Isaiah and realizes what is happening. Isaiah might be a good target. It sees Omeros, but is unimpressed and sees to think him too weak to consider at this time.

Ultimately, the dragon decides to go for those that are a combination of annoying and easy prey. This puts Kadmos, Kelnes, and Isaiah at the head of the chopping block. The dragon weighs his options and decides revenge and removing the elemental would be the best to prioritize, especially since he deduces that the trton that stabbed him is only standing because of the man commanding the elemental.

The dragon lands within reach of both kelnes and Isaiah. He tries to bite Kelnes, succeeding and seeing Kelnes go down. With a smirk, he then went on to slash at Isaiah.
OOC:
Summary:
Dragon lands by Kelnes and Isaiah
Kelnes takes 19 piercing and 3 lightning damage
Isaiah takes 14 slashing and 12 slashing damage

Isaiah would need to make 2 DC 10 Con saves, but can't roll low enough to fail so he is good.

I won't roll it now, as that probably made things too confusing last time, but the dragon will use its tail on Isaiah after the next player acts and then fly off after the player after that, using wing attack. It sees enough people with swords that it knows not to stay on the ground long.

Rerolling the bite against kelnes

Ok, since the bite missed, Kelnes had pissed off the dragon enough with those divine smites that he would have tried to claw Kelnes instead of Isaiah. Rerolling the first claw against Isaiah to see if with disadvantage it would have hit Kelnes. Thus, Isaiah did not take the 14 damage. If this still misses, the dragon will still do the 2nd claw against Isaiah.

New results, Isaiah did not take the 14 slashing damage from the first claw. Instead, Kelnes took it, as the original roll would have been high enough to hit Kelnes so since the reroll hit then with disadvantage it would have still hit.

Once again the dragon checks his breath, getting impatient with himself. The static returns, and a wide grin appears on his face. Seeing the stone fort, it flies around and flies over Kadmos and Chironides, landing within 10 feet of both to repeat the tail and wing attack combo again.

I will role after I see the turns, but the dragon will use one legendary action to make a tail attack and the other to use wing attack. if Chironides triggers an opportunity attack, the dragon will bite.

Kelnes is now the only one still frightened of the dragon
The dragon doesn't feel the tingle in its throat and looks around. It notes the structure erected from stone and the two warriors below it. It recalls being blasted by Omeros, who is far away, and sees he is not blinked away. "This pest looks like a good target." With its 80 ft. flying speed, the dragon swoops over and lands 5 feet from Omeros and uses all of its attacks on him. It then prepares to slap him with its tail and fly off like before, but those won't happen just yet. The dragon seems extremely frustrated. It seems, Omeros's blinking, is a bit buggy. It seems to blink him out just before each hit, instead of all at once for a few seconds.
OOC:
Omeros got extremely lucky that the dragon couldn't roll above a 4, hahaha. it shouldn't have any reason to have advantage.

Ok, everyone can go. Since there is only really 1 enemy, it will be side initiative from here on out.

In case it matters for order sake, the dragon's legendary actions will be tail vs Omeros and then wing attack, so only the first 2 people to act will see the dragon on the ground, anyone after will see him in the air.

Chapter 1: Something in the Water
The dragon falls to the ground from Isaiah's attacks. The luminous arrow piercing its scales and sticking in as its fails to keep aloft. As it crashes down, you catch your breath. As you do, you find that some of the snake men have stones on them. It seems these stones are like a compass, with a small light leading to somewhere. You find it safe to assume the "somewhere" is Hythonia's lair.
OOC:
Go ahead each of you and make a post as to what your character says and does after seeing the dragon die and rolling any hit dice. Reminder: any ability you have where you get back one or more charges from a short rest, you automatically got back 1 charge. If anyone wants to get claws and such off of the dragon, you can, but as this is a one shot there won't be time to make anything useful from what you can get.

Chapter 1: Something in the Water
Kelnes comes out from around the wall of stone and leans down at the remains of the snake men and picks up one of the stones. He then looks up at the sky and stares a moment. The fight was good but hard....time for the next bit of glory to take.
OOC:
I think I need to pull up with all of my Hit Dice unfortunately

probably add the remaining Lay on Hands as needed maybe some if any additional healing is shared.

edit: full Lay on Hands and the Hit Dice bring me up to 72/99 HP. Wouldn't say no to some additional healing

Chironides gives Kelnes a hearty pat on the back. With an immortal on our side there is no chance of failure!

Chapter 1: Something in the Water
Something totally broken on this island. How could anything make such an intelligent creature to fight to it's death with people who don't even endanger it or it's lair?
Isaiah is sad about killing a dragon, but then again we did it in a self defense.
OOC:
@valdattaMadun have you spend all 3 of your healing potions DM granted everyone (20 healing when consumed) ? I can share one of mine. I'm also using all of my dice.


Some worshipers escaped Hythonia will be aware. A wise man would turn back have a good rest and return after week. But we are more than just a man, aren't we?

Nerfed rest healing - (10d8+40)

Omeros stepped back into the mortal plane with a smile on his face.

"Far more than men, Isaiah. Three evil dragons and a nest of snake-men. Not a bad start to the day. Keranos be praised!"

With a whispered thanks to his god, Omeros channeled divine strength to heal most of his wounds.
OOC:
3 hit dice spent to get my HP total up to 78/81.
