The situation on the battlements was nearing chaos. Some of the guards that had heard the adventurers words did just as asked and ran away, while others were left shouting after them. The remaining deemed them cowards that took the first order from anyone other than themselves to vanish from duty: The governor himself had ordered the keep to be defended from this aerial assault and these strangers surely were not higher in the hierarchy. Of course, the runners cared little for any of this and continued on their panicked way.

Torus was attempting to build a makeshift barrier, but they would need more time: The cantrip's power was limited and while they now had the shape correct, it was still but water: It would not protect them yet. Luckily enough all that remained to be added was another casting so that the water would freeze. It seemed they might have just enough time, as the dragon began turning back towards north and looping around at a healthy distance from the battlements.

Before it got fully out of the way of the defenders arrows, however, another cloud of them was sent it's way. As per usual, most bounced off. Emphasis on the word most. A single arrow from a certain cleric's shortbow, as well as one from the substantially bigger weapon of the paladin struck the dragon and pierced the hide of the giant adversary, even if it seemed to barely care about the attack.

The dragon's flight brought it back to the side of the keep our heroes kept their watch on, with it keeping a somewhat steady flight height of 25 to 30 feet above the parapet. No sparks in it's maw as of now, but there was no telling if it would draw forth something from itself as it reached.. whatever it was intending to bombard this time. The halfling could notice the dragon's eyes fixed on herself: What was it after?

[@Gordian Nought], I believe you can piece together the Shape Water thing from what I wrote: You can only do one of the functions per casting, even though you can have up to two active at once.
[@Norschtalen] I chose to disregard your second roll, given how Faerie Fire grants advantage that cancels out the disadvantage from the non-optimal range. It still hits though.

Dragon is, again, flying towards the tower, but it does not seem it is going to scale the height this time, instead seeming to veer to the outer side of the keep. Current distance from lower group is 30ft. and higher up group has the distance at exactly 50 feet.

That would mean Orchid's reaction is triggered. However, his roll of [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/1779]12[/url] will mean the harpoon does NOT stick to the dragon. I'll let [@Lucius Cypher] describe the event as they see fit.
