This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ora steels herself and then, eyes still shut, she aims towards the loudest noise (the big attacking Slasher) mumbles under her breath and a streak of golden light flashes towards it. (Casting guiding bolt at 1st level, to attack: 15, damage: 17)
After narrowly avoiding the bug, Gerlan puts his crystal near his mouth and says "Pneuma, fulgur..." (Bonus action: Dragon's breath, lightning, 5th level slot)
He then lets loose a blast of electricity on the very bug that's been accosting him, taking care not to hit his companions (Dex DC 16 for half of 22 elemental affinity included).

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
All four of Slasher’s strikes miss the target, but Oruk’s attack is true, smashing the small bug in front of him. Ora’s gleaming ray of magic flies past the same bug Slasher missed. The bug facing Gerlan is (8) charred to a crisp by the lightning coursing through its body. Anastasia grimly stares her bug in the eye before shooting three more rays at it. As the third ray connects, the monstrosity collapses to the ground, letting a final roar loose before dying. Gig moves to strike the last brute (autopiloting):
Attack: 10 Damage: 14
Attack: 16 Damage: 11
One of the swings cuts into the beast’s shoulder, and the other misses entirely.
The last bug releases the mistake it has made and dives back under the ground, leaving a sizeable hole that looks ready to collapse behind it.
(Sorry for disappearing folks, let’s get back to it!)
Ora hears her companions and opens her eyes, cautiously at first, then let’s out a breath, looking around to see if everyone is okay, “what were those things?”

Slasher cleans his sword and sheaths it. But keeps his shield out ready for any ambush. "That was a good fight, nice to know I'm not too rusty. I do prefer fighting humanoids though"
Anastasia's down 30HP, but she didn't cast any leveled spells, so she doesn't need to take a short rest. She'll be fine if someone casts a few healing spells on her. And because she has Gift of the Ever-Living Ones, any cure spell cast on her is treated as if it had rolled the maximum value on the dice.

If the party does decide to take a rest or waits at least 11 minutes before leaving, Oruk will kneel and place his hands on the ground, casting Commune with nature. He is trying to learn:
1. If the bugs that attacked us are native to this land. 2. If this land is influenced by the other planes. 3. The location of nearby buildings.
(Hey guys, still trying to catch up from last week. Posting will be irregular, but I do plan on resuming sooner than later)
Oruk: You get the following answers from your spell:
1. These bugs are native to this land. The larger bugs (you now know them to be Umber Hulks) are apex predators in this region, and commonly hunt in packs with subjugated groups of the smaller bugs (Ankhegs).
2. This land is not currently under the influence of any other planes within a three mile radius.
3. There are no buildings within a three mile radius.
Anastasia: What are you looking for with the nature check?
Slasher: Though once quite tough, the hides of these monstrosities have been cracked, slashed, and otherwise destroyed. Whatever armor or coverings you could still make from them would have to be quite small. Even then, you don’t have the means to do so right now, and would likely need to bring the corpses back with you to the encampment.

"That was certainly an effective wake-up." Gerlan says, sighing with relief.

((I am sorry. I did not realize you were waiting on Gig, it is fairly hard for me to keep track of my turn sometimes lol. My bad.))
"Yes. Stay alert in case there are more." Gig says as he sheathes his greatsword.

Bugs disposed of, are you resuming your march or does anyone want to do anything else (short rest, examine the corpses, etc.)

Slasher will continue if people want to, if people want to stop slasher will see if he can take any carapace off if it looks decent armoured

If several people are looking fairly messed up, Ora spends ten minutes praying loudly and casts prayer of healing at 3rd level, 9
If it’s only Anastasia who wants a fix up, she casts cure wounds at 3rd level (max of either is 27).
(Ooc: wow, terrible prayer of healing rolls v.v)

Slasher is fine (down 24 but has damage reduction and small healing available. Still on 80)

Gerlan somehow got through unscathed. So taking a rest or not isn’t an issue for him for the moment.
