It was a normal day in Oriv for the party. Rockaneeshoo had teleported to Fovona to pick up some supplies. Rhin was in his temple. Enli was in the library. Urgmob and Hrir were walking around town, trying to figure wherethey wanted to build a pub. Davinov was off patrolling outside of town.
The peace and quiet of the midmorning were shattered when a green dragon landed on the roof of the tallest building, the library. He bellowed for someone to come out and play, and hobgoblins scattered. He craned his head to look into the library, and started up a conversation with Enli. He said that he had heard there was some treasure here, and did Enli know anything about it. Enli said that there was an artifact hammer being held by an earth elemental north of town. Minebeard, fearless, approached and was confronted by the dragon. The dragon asked if the mutant knew where any treasure was? While this was happening, Urgmob was hiding, invisible, 100yards away.
Unsurprisingly, Hrir breathed on the dragon and was breathed on in response. Enli, who had moved into the open, attracted the dragon's attention by summoning an earth elemental. Urgmob fired a lightning bolt into the dragon. The dragon spun around, smashing Hrir with his tail, and leaped upon Enli. Enli rolled out of the way, but the dragon still demolished the hobgoblin shack nearby as it flapped downward with it's massive wings. Urgmob fired several potent warning shots at the dragon. Enli's earth elemental attacked as well, and Hrir made another charge attack that was countered with a bite to the shoulder. Enli tried to cast another spell, and was bitten by the dragon, abruptly ending the plea to Ibenaikad. The dragon then took flight, swooping low near where Urgmob crouched behind a shack. The shack was demolished by the dragon flying by, and Urgmob wasscratched by flying debris.
The dragon didn't return immediately, but Enli determined through divinations that the dragon would attack again today. Sure enough, in the mid-afternoon, the dragon dropped a boulder on the library while calling out, "Liar!" Hrir summoned a blade barrier in front of the dragon, but it was able to avoid it with some extreme evasive maneuvers. Everything was silent again until close to dusk. Urgmob had taken position on the roof of the damaged library with his onyx dog, Tybalt, when the dog barked a warning. Urgmob and dog rolled out of the way just in time as another boulder smashed into the library from directly overhead. It was followed closely by a diving dragon. It spread it's wings at the last moment and breathed upon the roof of the building before landing heavily, cracking the stone walls of the upper floor. Urgmob dove to the street in a bruised and burned heap with his dog, and Hrir ran up to deliver another icy breath. The dragon took flight again, calling out, "I'll be back!"
The party contacted Pelema, but their tone was not that of panic, and she said that she didn't have the people to spare at the moment. Moreover, they already had her most powerful dwarf in their service. Keggrok Halfear, the hobgoblin King, offered his might in battle, for he was no coward. But he said he didn't think his help would amount to much. Rockaneeshoo was contacted by sigil, and perhaps will deign to return before the dragonattacks again. Or before the party goes on a hunt for it.
Hrir, Urgmob, Enli, and Rhin all receive 250xp for this session.

ummm, hrir was breathed on first.
Actually, Hrir cast a buff spell as a surprise round action, then breathed on the dragon (because he had a higher initiative roll than the dragon), and then the dragon finally breathed back on him. I'm fairly certain that's the chain of events.
ummm. your memory is flawed. hrir was breathed on first. you can aks s-dogg to recount your description of the events in question...unless you're scurred.
Kevin is in charge of that sort of thing. But we'll ask Sean next time too. Either way, it doesn't matter. Big bad dragon. It was only a matter of time before he breathed on you, so it doesn't really matter who attacked who first.
