This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: I will post Briga's action now, she follows Griff, but he may be making a saving throw vs the paralysis from poison.
Briga moves forward to place the creature within reach of her Glaive, attacks it from there with the Attack Action for Slashing Damage and then a Bonus Action attack from Polearm Master for Bludgeoning damage, using Reckless Attack to attack with Advantage on both, granting the monster advantage on attacks against her until the start of her next turn, and then she steps back 5 feet, in order to use a Reaction Attack against the creature if it enters her reach, using the other effect from Polearm Master.
As the creature continues to try and attack, Tyrus says a few words as the carrion crawler gets distracted. Seeing that opening, Griffdar takes a strike, shouting out as he does so and his sword glows an orangy red colour, and the blade looks like it sets alight in a flame. Unlike the usual red flame however, it is a bright silver-like colour and burns over the sword Griffdar uses as he strikes down. The flame encomapssing the entire carrion crawler as it screeches a high-pitched wail as it is seemingly burned alive.
The silver fire fades, and without any burn marks on the body, the carrion crawler lies motionless on the ground as Briga runs up with her axe, arriving just as the last of the flame disappears.
"Way to go, Abandoned Dragons! You dudes brought the hurt to this thing. Looks like all the dung sweepers are OK, too, job well done," Briga says. "Hero time. It feels good."
Briga moves to try to recover her crossbow bolts from the carcass, and then recoils a bit, making a disgusted face. "You can keep them," she mutters.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
After making sure the beast is truly dead, Tyrus will go to Griffdar.
"How are you going there, Griffdar?" Tyrus asks soothingly. "That creature hit you pretty hard. Are my magic words helping?"
[OOC: Tyrus will do another Healing Words for 4. and use bandages from his Healing Kit to bind any wounds. DM, please tell me if colour text use of the Kit actually uses a charge of the kit or not.]
[OOC: Were the previous 4 points Tyrus gave to Griffdar taken into account?]
"I think it's dead, Tyrus, and I don't see any others. Griff knocked its block off," Briga says. "Are you guys all OK?" she shouts to the dung sweepers.
The dungsweepers come out from their hiding place and nod slowly, before getting back to work.
The rest of the day goes by without issue, as does the rest of the tenday you spend with the dungsweepers. The week is slow and quiet, but it goes by without any further issue, giving you time to speak.
Assuming Griffdar is okay (and not poisoned or diseased) Tyrus will spend the rest of the tenday trying to work out if the creature they killed was the only one of these monsters that has been attacking the dungsweepers; there may be a nest of them that needs clearing out.
He will also talk to the others about the missing Arlon. Perhaps they should go and see if he is okay.
[OOC: Gamorust hasn't been active on the site since 4 January. Do we assume he is not coming back and maybe look for another player?]

((Now we are out of combat, I'll be opening applications. On that note, the new person will be starting at level 3, because you guys level up now.))
Asking around, it seems these carrion crawlers infest the sewers below Waterdeep and now and again, one gets out onto the streets. This isn't the first time it has happened, and probably not the last. You find the creatures do not nest together, however hunt and live in isolation, so finding a "nest" would be impossible, and there are probably over a thousand under the city that deal with the refuse and sewage that builds up under there - and that is what they are attracted to, but they won't refuse a living meal. You find that these things are as much a part of the city as the buildings above it.
(OOC: As noted above, I'm opening applications for this for one space that has opened. We are just about to start the action, so those that are interested can say so here. Here are the mechanical factors:
The new player will be starting at level 3. At the moment, the group have only just started exploring Waterdeep, and we are not that far into the overall story, and we are about to get onto the main portion of Dragon Heist.
For your stats, roll 4d6k3, but if the sum of your modifiers before racial adjustments is less than +5, you can reroll.
Any official source is permitted for you to use in character creation, as a result, this character will not be adventure league compatible, and these sessions will not count towards rewards for the adventurers league.
If you wish to use something that is homebrewed or UA, then drop me a PM with what you wish along with the information. These are subject to adjustment before and during play, for the purpose of ensuring balance with the party and the game.
Apart from that, if you have any questions please feel free to let us know - and if you want to know more about the characters we already have, feel free to read back through the previous posts.
The position will be filled on first come first served, as long as you provide enough details (i.e your character name/race/class/background and no more than a paragraph summary of their backstory - you can put the full backstory on your character page which will be added to the campaign).

And if not, I'll be sure to delete this post lickity-split... or however you phrase that. And if I misinterpet the placement for the app, I'll be sure to move it where need be!)

Feeling the proverbial noose of that escaped tightening as a result, she sought out the emerald enclave hoping to "formalize" her training. Unfortunately, this alone was not absolve her suspicion. Thus, she works tirelessly to find out either that one big scoop to distract from her misdeeds, or a powerful enough patron to dissuade any future "complications".
OOC: I have leveled Briga up to 3. . She took Polearm Master as her level 1 Variant Human feat, and her Barbarian Path is Totem, Bear Totem, for the level 3 choice. but these were not available in the drop down menus, so I am just noting them here. The HP increase reflects correctly on the sheet.

OOC: I'm not sure how that works. I could just write it out in text and post it into the chat here. It's really just the feats and features that aren't in the drop down that are an issue. We're all likely familiar with what the feats do, the different paths, etc.

[OOC: Hello Orileo, (looks at character sheet) And I thought I was supposed to be the jack of all trades ;-) Are you official yet? I can't see you on the campaign page. If so, welcome to the Abandoned Dragons.]

As the creature continues to try and attack, Tyrus says a few words as the carrion crawler gets distracted.

Tyrus jogs up behind Briga. "Is it dead? Are there others?," he asks in quick succession.
