...is this the moment Sir Richard gains his first Mythic Rank?
The enemy is too weak unfortunately. If he does it with something stronger then it is solid maybe.

Wouldn't it be cheaper (and quicker) to slap the plant type on anything that moves? If I remember right, plants are also near immune to Illithids.

But wouldn't it be just as cool to make two devastating attacks, then have his opponent simply fall apart in mid-air, cleanly quartered as if cut with an anime protagonist's sharper-than-should-be-possible sword?
The damage inflicted by the others plus two Greater Insightful Strikes should be enough to finish it.

We are hovering over a radioactive mercury lake and if this works, Richard will reduce one of the great hunters of the Abyss to the consistency of ground beef in a single round.
What else do you need for Mythic? Do we need to set the mercury on fire?

Two attacks?

I want to say yes if only because that would make this scene even more metal than it already is.

Greater Insightful Strike + Belt of Battle'd Greater Insightful Strike?
Your plan will probably work better though.

While this is mostly Richard's time to shine, mind adding an arrow from Mereth?
And maybe choose a standard-loadout and stance for her.
Do demonsharks have knee-like appendages to take arrows to?

Default in Tempest Gale Stance, with Blinding Ray Shot, Intercepting Shade, Cascading Draft and Sudden Gust.
Let me modify the plan for extra shipping and effectiveness real quick.

@DragonParadox, from Viserys' ancestral memories during levelups:
1. Do we know what made Red Dragons of all species band together into an empire for survival? What threats were out there that they ignored their natural reclusiveness?
2. We saw from memories of Clarence Crabb vs the Ancient Green Dragon that other Chromatics fled the Red Dragon Empire. Do we have memories of where each species went? White Dragons, I imagine, fled Beyond the Wall and right to the Others, and Greens apparently to Westeros. Did Blacks go to Sothoryos? What about Blues?
3. So from what we know, Tiamat was created by a bunch of other gods who empowered her to "guard" Prime Material. And she once she grew her other heads (fiery red being the first and oldest) she promptly infested the place with dragons and kicked everyone else out. Then, later, her Red Dragon children make an empire among the Fire Mountains, scaring the absolute shit out of everything on Prime Material. Or perhaps the empire is what kicked everything else out... In any case it scared away the Court of Stars.
4. The Empire was ruled (in a sense) by a dragon titled "Flamelord," and the empire was as stupid evil as you'd expect of normal Red Dragons, with random killings and eating slaves and whatnot, breeding resentment among the "lowly servants," etc. Some stupid evil punishments included forcibly turning dragons into dracoliches (example: Amrelath), and imprisoning them and feeding them enemies of the state (example: Kepeskezir).
5. The Red Dragons bred sorcery into their slaves to make them more useful and prized servants.
6. The slaves hated the Winged Masters, and eventually a plan was formed -- get halfdragons, and use their power to overthrow the True Dragons. Then, when they saw Kepeskezir imprisoned and thoroughly against the Red Dragon Empire and willing to hurt them through sheer spite, one of the rebellion's powerful sorceresses approached him with a bargain -- freedom, if he sires her child.
7. The Rebellion against the Winged Masters was primarily underground, quite literally, since they mostly couldn't stand up to the dragons in open warfare. Of course, this was where the Landwardens were discovered and bound, and where the first Flesh Forge was created, and the "Grail" forged as a living weapon, fit to slay a True Dragon.
8. At first the Dragons didn't think anything of Halfdragon children, but they didn't account for the fact that the halfdragon children would feel far more kinship with their abused and downtrodden mortal parents who actually gave a damn about them.
9. The Halfdragon leaders of the Rebellion pacted with Devils, and brought Hell's forces to wage war against the Red Dragons.
10. At some point in the war, one of the Halfdragons slew a dragon and then rode its clutchmate into battle like a common beast after ensnaring its mind, becoming the first Dragonlord.
11. Fifteen Mythic Heroes rose from among the Halfdragons (who ascended to True Dragonhood), and they reaped such devastation among the Red Dragons that one of the elder ones offered himself up to Tiamat to serve as a Mythic Aspect. The heroes slew the Aspect and drank her blood, three from each head. Unfortunately, one of them failed, and bound himself to Asmodeus rather than die.
12. At some point, the Orb of Dragonkind was used to forever rob the Red Dragons of sentiency and magic, turning them into the dumb Valyrian Dragons.
I guess the main questions I have:
Can I get clarification for questions 1, 2, and 12?

Technically it is in mid charge right now, though it is less charging and more falling because that is faster.
Anyway vote closed.

Huh, Mereth actually helps out a lot here.
Her Blinding Ray Shot lowers its AC by 6 if she just hits with it.
Tho she needs a Nat 20 to hit.

May the odds be ever in our favour.
- No, though you could go looking for the information
- They scattered more or less randomly
- 3-11That is a good summary, though keep in mind it is patched together from various legends
- 12 Same as one you would have to try and seek the answer in dreams.

I think we knw that was at least partially distraction, the mage we saw then knew they couldn't win by pen force but was planning something besides that battle.

I think it was a greater Demon that agreed to become Grandma's vessel in the world. As I remember Syrax story.
The old dragons where countering infernal mercenaries with abyssal ones.

@Duesal, I think that your thing has mistakes in it.
I expect the first Halfdragon kids were made generations before the rebellion got anywhere. These people are probably the distant descendants of various halfdragons who awoke to magic and were inducted into the rebellion more or less directly.
I always thought it was some kind of massive Feeblemind bloodline-curse ritual or something.
Remember Relath? I expect that they deliberately sired them and raised them as agents. It's likely that any halfdragon kids raised by the slaves were raised in hiding, or spent their whole lives pretending to be someone else's trusted agent "just doing some routine slave-handling" and avoiding attention.
Where does it say that these people were halfdragons?

We have no evidence of the Orb Of Dragonkind being used to rob Dragons of their sentience though. Right?

You can only prepare one of each maneuver.
