Gaius upcasts Chromatic Orb as a Thunder sphere. To hit = 20 for 20 Thunder damage. Turns into 40HP damage due to Vulnerability. The sphere hits the elemental in center mass. It then fragments into a scattered pile of stones and dirt.
Gohumbee moves closer to the elevated ground and fires at Orc36, to hit = 6. A miss.
Starker then approaches the orc and mage and uncorks another fireball. The mage makes a DC15 DEX save = 20 for 13 fire damage. Concentration check DC10 CON save = 6. Concentration lost. Orc36 makes a DC15 DEX save = 4, taking 27 fire damage. It is now a smoldering pile of ex-orc ashes.
Starker whines and pleads:”I would have thought that would have done for the mage! Please someone kill him before he takes his revenge on me. Also, that orc up there is turning me into a pin cushion!”
Chadwick mutters a WTF a little louder than he intended when the mage doesn't go down from the fireball. Jogs 30' towards the mage, takes his bow off his back and fires two shots at the mage.
Bonus action, transfer HM from the crispy orc to the mage. HM included in damage for both.
Shot 1: 17 to hit, 10 damage
Shot 2: Nat 20 for 12 damage
"If you keep running you're just going to die tired!" He says of the mage is still up.
Hoid quips, “Master Starker, I would have expected a more orderly and efficient fireball from your efforts. It is an affront to my sensibilities that you did not succeed in murdering the mage!”
Hoid will check horses to see if they are beyond saving. He will then search the corpses of the assailants. Mage first, then dragon boy, then all orcs on this side of the river. He will then reconnoiter the plateau. If no one has done so by then, he will cross the river and search those corpses.
EDIT: of particular interest on the corpse of the mage and dragon boy is any evidence suggesting whether this was a random or targeted attack.
All of the mules survived and are rounded up after scattering. Raspy and Garrent's horse are dead. Gaius' horse lives, but it is badly injured and cannot be ridden currently. Freya is gone. You can likely take the saddles and packs from the dead animals and have the mules carrying them if you continue your journey on foot.
A search of the bodies of your assailants turns up a large number of orc made axes, daggers and hide armor along with 44cp, 278sp, 175gp.
The Dragonborn warrior is wearing plate armor and has a halberd, several daggers, a heavy crossbow, 32cp, 24sp, 38gp and 17pp.
The mage has a wand, an empty potion bottle, robes, 7cp, 12sp, 21gp and 38pp. Oh, and you recognize him. It is Falonir.
So, treasure totals are 60cp, 39sp, 29gp and 6pp split 8 ways (Includes Gaius and Garrent).
Starker will investigae Falonir’s corpse to try to reverse engineer his rising from the seemingly dead
investigation=22
arcana=24
Then, after Falonir’s corpse it stripped and looted, Starker will firebolt it every six seconds until it is a pile of ash, a pile of ash he will then urinate on. Cyrus will also relieve himself on the ash pile
Starker will detect magic on our pile of loot and identify magical stuff. Esp the wand.
Starker will put gloves on and put soggy ash into a handkerchief that he will not up, so it becomes a little bag of holding urinated upon ash. Starker has plans for the remains
Starting a short rest during the inventory process
If we’re on foot and time is critical, a long rest could jeopardize our chances of preventing the Ravenshields and Hartstones from engaging in an unnecessary battle.
Chadwick looks at the fleeing orc, then back at Daisy and gets nervous about her taking off with his magic glaive. Since she doesn't tend to mind all that well anyway he goes and tries to reassure her that everything is ok and Freya will be back tomorrow. He thinks the two were friends, but in reality Daisy disliked Freya and would nip at her when Chadwick wasn't paying attention. He has Daisy help him retrieve all his remaining gear that was on Freya 2.
TIL if you succeed in your death throws you regain consciousness. Thought you were unconscious, but stable.
Chadwick won't make that mistake again. Not saying, going full Staker on corpses, but making sure the fallen goes stay fallen.
Hoid delivers two mighty whiffs.

Chadwick to act.

Starker:” eliminating or executing certainly not murdering!“
Chadwick buries two arrows in the mage's chest. He slumps to the ground, dead.
Orc36 turns to flee.
Combat ends. You can chase that orc down to kill it or let it go. Your choice. Three others fled to the south on the map already.

Starker could use a long rest.
Starker should detect magic on the accumulated gear.
Edit: missed deranged Starker post. I now see detect magic is already in the works.
Hoid will ask Gaius how he initially made the elemental vanish and if he can explain how the elemental returned.
Nothing is magic.
Chadwick struck him down. Succeeded in three Death Saves on fifth roll. Then drank potion of healing. Robert is your cousin’s father.

How long of a hike are we looking at?
Chadwick will heal the purple headed dragon for 5hp using LoH. Him dying before we get there would not be a good look for us.
Chadwick has one l1 spell left and zero for LoH.
OOC- Can he use hit dice? Before using resources, can we confirm if he will befit with a rest also?
Garrent has all of the abilities of a Fighter.
Garrent regains 34 HP after taking a short rest with you.
