Allura was focused on her target not letting the chaos around her disturb her.
She fired a blast of eldritch energy at him connecting her and her target for a brief moment.
<Celestial>"Go back into the darkness and leave those I defend !"</Celestial>

16:25, Today: Allura Whitlock rolled 12 using 1d10+5.  Eldritch Blast + Agonizing Blast+The Curse.

The bugbears were starting to thin out but they could still overwhelm them.  Keeping his nerve he aimed at a bugbear being distracted by Muffin and timed his shot to hit squarely in the beast's chest.

Caldrel launched yet another bolt of fire, aiming at one of the bugbears marked by Faerie Fire first.

Firebolt hits AC 23 for 4 fire damage.

ROUND 4
LOCATION - Dwarven Mine (Eastern Barracks

Yana's had was finally getting back into the zone as she saw one of the bugbear glowing from Amalia's spell. Taking aim, she fired at it, and the arrow hit true, slamming into the already wounded bugbears chest, sending it down.

Caldrel aiming at the same enemy as Yana dropped, quickly changed his target to the other glowing one, clearly less damaged than his fallen counterpart. The bolt of fire sped in and slammed his chest, but he seemed to not even notice the smouldering mark.

Solgran looked down at the javelins in his body, and knocked them out as if they were thorns, making the last bugbear standing near him make a sound liek a scared puppy. This sound would be followed up by the sickening crunch as the human swung the maul in an uppercut shot into his chest, shattering ribs and spine causing it to colapse. Solgran jumps over the fallen corpses to the one just behind - had he paid less attention to muffin he may have seen the arc of the hammer some in knocking his head clean off.

Muffin moved forward past solgran to one of the two remaining bugbears, who dropped his javelins and went for his own Morningstar. The Metalic fox lunged in, but missed.....luckily for him Snoric was behind him and lined up the enemy perfectly creating a huge hole in his side. The bugbear winced as with one hand he held the morningstar, the other he held his organs in his own body.


Amalia called for selune to aid them, calling her to send the bells of the moon to their aid. The group heard an almost faint chime, while the bugbear at the back screamed, holding his ears in pain at the sound.

Allura called to her patron to help them, and holding her hand out, send a glowing bolt to strike the closest of the two bugbear, tearing off half his face and skull in eldritch fire

The last Bugbear knew his death was close, so he did not hesitate, throing a javelin down the hallway towards the spellcasters - any spellcaster.

The group watched in silence as it flew, in slow motion. It passed Allura who fell towards the wall. Amalia felt it skim off her armor, and caldrell felt it move his hair, but somehow it missed all of them.

He bent over to retrieve his last javelin, but as he came up, a shadow came over him, and he looked up in time to see the maul of solgran take his life

With the bugbears dealt with, Solgran let his maul rest on the floor, handle sticking straight up, and he put his hand on his hips. "I admit, I was not expecting that many foes to be sitting in a room just, 'right here' beside where we'd fought before. Phew. I was thinking one, maybe two, at most. They say bugbears are goblinoids, but they hit more like they're related to goliath if you ask me. I'll have to move faster, hit harder, to keep up with the likes of them moving forward."

Yana nodded to the big man, and gave a tentative smile
"I'm not one to rush into the thick of combat, but I'll do my best to thin the ranks of the next enemy you face, Solgran. You and Allura have been doing well so far.  Keep up the good work"

Allura was flush with the health that came with defeating a cursed target. Her eyes though had changed from the softly burning coals to a soft blueish gold color.

"They must have come from the tribes we already faced. Safe to say they know where these mines are now."

Allura walked over and helped to bind and clean Solgran's wounds and any of her other companions who had been hurt. She herself was still very wounded from the battle with the zombies and floating skulls.



Solgran she is using the healing feat to heal you up 1d6+9

Solgran held still for Allura's tending, "Thank you. You've...grown from when we first met one another. Not physically, just into who you are now."

11:54, Today: Solgran Farnzythe rolled 14 using 1d6+9.  Healing from Allura

Allura stops for a moment in thought.

"I guess I have. I started this wanting to protect my sister." In thought she looked at Solgran her eyes flared a moment, "Now, I do my best to keep you all safe. Even if I am not up at the front of battle all the time."

Amalia got near the tiefling, preparing bandages for Allura "I noticed the change too, and I'm glad. We are getting better at fighting as a group, but there is still work to be done after. Let me put those on your wounds."

Healer's Feat on Allura, 1d6+9 healing

"Thank you, Amalia." Allura allowed Amalia to apply bandages and healing salves.

"Yes, I am sure we will mesh better together after not too long. I can't believe a simple caravan job would have led to this."

She looked to her sister, "She is stronger than I thought, ever make a decision you really really regret? She says back as almost a whisper to Amalia. A tear formed in Allura's eye then her body heat seemingly causes it to whisp in the air.


19:38, Today: Allura Whitlock rolled 13 using 1d6+9.  Healed from Amalia.
Strangely she is healed to her old HP max. With the healing from the curse added in.

The question took Amalia by surprise and she paused to think about it. There were some things that she regretted, being the sole survivor of the shipwreck that took her entire family, she would have gladly given her life to Selune if it would have spared her parents and brother. But that was not really her decision was it? She regretted not having finished her training at the temple, but again, she had been forced to flee with her family, not her decision. And she felt that this adventure was teaching her more about life than the temple would ever have, so it was not so bad, after all!

So what was left? What had she decided in her life instead of being guided by fate?

She suddenly chuckled, remembering something she did regret "I do regret having been caught when I pranked my brother, by mixing up his component pouches before a wizard's test. He left me hanging in webs for half a day as punishment, and despite my pleas to my parents, they only said that I deserved it. And I admit I did deserve it, now that I know better, it was dangerous."

Allura smiled it was rare to catch and lasted more than a moment. As she smiled the blue white glow of her eyes continued.

"I was in school to be a wizard as well, yes mixing up such things is dangerous, but I am glad you just got webbed because of it. It was nice to have met you, Amalia." She knew shenanigans among siblings and the thought of a young Amalia and her brother somehow made her internally laugh it was such a small innocent reason for regret. She then rested her hand on Amalia's shoulder, "I know you miss him, and whatever heaven her may be in now I think he would smile knowing you are recounting your young tales about him and yourself."

Yana collects and salvageable quarrels as the others talk

Snoric encouraged everyone who wasn't in the room with the now-dead gnolls to join them.  "The flaming skull things are still near the forge" he whispered as loudly as he dared.  He was amazed they hadn't heard them.  He was glad he'd built his 'quietener' for Ultio.  Previously one shot would have likely brought the whole place down on them.

Leaving Muffin on watch near the door, Snoric moved over to the western door and listened intently.  If it was quiet and the door was not locked or trapped, he cautiously opened it and peered out.


OOC: Encourage everyone inside.  Muffin guard East door, Snoric scouting western door (for traps and sounds of enemies).

Hearing Snoric she looked over to him and stood up.

"The Skulls ? there are more ?" her eyes glow dimmed and the red was back. She headed to where Snoric had directed. "Rest time is over I guess." She unslung her shield.

Though not as perceptive as she would like to be, Yana noticed her sister's eyes.
Walking up next to Allura, Yana nudged her gently and spoke softly.
"Allura, your eyes are looking odd.  Is that some magical shenanigans we should know about?"

"Huh, what are you talking about?" she looks at the backside of her shield then with her other hand moved up to touch near her eyes.

"I feel fine." she took out her hand mirror and looked at her face and eyes in it, before slipping it away.

Yana narrowed her eyes dubiously and shrugged
"If you say so"

While Muffin guards the door to the east, Snoric sets to checking the door west. The door was simple like the opposite side, with a lock on the inside. He opened it a crack and found a hallway that went ten feet and branched off west, north and south. The west branch had stairs going down, with the faint sound of dripping water

Amalia racked her brain for anything she could recall from her interrupted cleric studies on how the flaming skulls could have come back.


Religion check : 17
Arcana check : 6
 Today: Amalia Firnam rolled 23 using 2d20 with rolls of 17,6.  religion, arcana

Yana joined Snoric in scouting

Snoric whispered to Yana.  "You peek into the room to the west.  I'll check the path north then we'll meet back."  Following his own advice, Snoric crept up the northern passage to the T-intersection and peered east and west while staying to the shadows.

OOC: Sneak up north path and peek east & west (but not heading down either corridor).
Stealth 21
Perception 19

Nodding to her small friend, Yana went to investigate the western room

OOC:  22:23, Today: Yana Whitlock rolled 9 using 1d20+2.  Perception . – 9

Snoric and Yana moved out of the west door and seperated. Yana stood at the steps of the west passage, listening, but heard nothing but the drip of water.

Snoric walked up the northern passage to the t intersection.
