Raza flops against the wall, arms hanging to the sides, still holding her weapons.  "Well, no rest for the wicked, huh?"  She quips.  Pushing off the wall she heads outside to check on Kasha and find Doc. "You ok, Kash?  Need any non magical help?"  She offers.

"I need a hug. That's what I need. Who the heck throws people threw windows?" She seems a little miffed, but quickly gets over it. "Did you guys find any logs?"

Arora takes a deep breath and scans the room. “What the hell was that?!  That sure wasn’t the friendly goblin that was here earlier.”  She moves over towards Zhi who was looking a bit worse for wear ”Zhi, come over here closer to the fire and rest a bit.”   She looks up at Mock “You doing ok hun?”  She chuckles A bit “that was a bit more than a goblin eh?”

Arora proceeds to go outside and check on Kasha and Raza “Are you two ok?  Kasha, what the hell happened to you?  You look like you got tossed through a window or something... do either of you need healing?  Let’s get Kasha inside and then we need to go find Doc... I think he had his AirPods in when we all ran off to help. He was probably listening to some self help thing again...” Arora moves over to help Raza get Kasha back in the house before heading out to look for Doc. 

Neph looks up at everybody and says "I didn't do it!  I was just choppin wood!  We can't stop running into trouble.  Sheesh!  The rotten luck.  And they always get away, right before they are killed...."

Nephvir then starts to look through the cabin, for any signs of the drow, or clues.

Zhi lets out a few slow breaths as the Bhargest poofs away and some of his wounds closed. He nods in silent recognition to the people who casted healing spells on him before slumping against the fire and enjoying the feeling of the warmth seeping into his bones, too tired to complain about the party splitting up yet again. 

He throws up a Detect Magic just incase anything magical shows up. 

"I need a hug. That's what I need. Who the heck throws people threw windows?" She seems a little miffed, but quickly gets over it. "Did you guys find any logs?"

"Yeah we found plenty but left them all back where we were." Raza steps up to give the requested hug then puts Kasha's arm around her shoulders to help her inside. 

Arora proceeds to go outside and check on Kasha and Raza “Are you two ok? Kasha, what the hell happened to you? You look like you got tossed through a window or something... do either of you need healing? Let’s get Kasha inside and then we need to go find Doc... I think he had his AirPods in when we all ran off to help. He was probably listening to some self help thing again...” Arora moves over to help Raza get Kasha back in the house before heading out to look for Doc.

"I've got a few bumps and cuts but I think Zhi and Mock need it before I do.  I'll help Kash inside, you go find Doc."  She replies, turning to the cabin.  "Come on monkey, let's go."

Seeing that Raza has Kasha, Arora heads off to where they left Doc chopping wood. “Doc, you’re needed back at the cabin.  There was an incident.  Hurry!” As Dic heads back to the cabin, Arora grabs as much wood as she can carry and heads back to the cabin. 

At the sudden disappearance of their enemy, Mock stops for a minute, axe still hanging in the air. Then she lets out a big sigh and just plops down on the ground right where she's at. "Thank the gods ya all showed back up," she tells the room. She then gives Arora a little thumbs up before the other runs back out of the building. With a little grunt, she scoots back so she's leaning up against a wall and not taking up all the floor space, dragging her axe along with her. There's no real strength in her at the moment to re-secure it on her back - besides, at the rate they're going, she'll need it again in thirty seconds. However, she does have the energy to reach out and tap her boot lightly against Zhi. "Nice magic, bud."

Nephvir pulls out his water, gives some to Zhi and Mock, tends to them, trying to make them more comfortable.  As he is doing so, he says "Doesn't it seem odd, as we are hunting the drow, that we are attacked repeatedly, like we are being purposefully drained dry?"

Daewen gives Nephvir the thumbs-up in agreement with his comment.  But she thinks to herself, ahhh well, that's what we're paid the big bucks for.

"Yeah we found plenty but left them all back where we were." Raza steps up to give the requested hug then puts Kasha's arm around her shoulders to help her inside. 
Kasha returned the hug. "Ow." she winced.

"I've got a few bumps and cuts but I think Zhi and Mock need it before I do.  I'll help Kash inside, you go find Doc."  She replies, turning to the cabin.  "Come on monkey, let's go."
Kasha obediently followed.

Arora proceeds to go outside and check on Kasha and Raza “Are you two ok?  Kasha, what the hell happened to you?  You look like you got tossed through a window or something... do either of you need healing?  Let’s get Kasha inside and then we need to go find Doc... I think he had his AirPods in when we all ran off to help. He was probably listening to some self help thing again...” Arora moves over to help Raza get Kasha back in the house before heading out to look for Doc. 

"I was curled up trying to sleep and the next thing I know I was grabbed and thrown out a window! Who does that in this day and age? Sheesh!" she pouted, bleeding from a few scrapes and cuts, but was overall ok.

Once everyone is back inside the cabin, Arora will cast a Cure Wounds on Mock and Raza.... and then she will go into a trance to rest.

Mock: 5

Raza: 3

"I know it's not much, but I hope it helps a bit."

RISE OF THE DROW - CHAPTER THREE

THE DARKNESS REVEALED

As you press on through the forest, it clears, and you come to your end destination - or so you hope. On a low, flat hillock in the foothills is a massive structure - a castle - and off to the side, before it, is a small chapel - see the map below. The tracks you've been following lead towards the chapel and towards the castle. 

DC14 Perception check: ?!?!?!?

Doc felt a roller coaster of emotions as he eventually made his way back to the others.  First, he was was relived when Arora appeared up ahead and he could stop struggling with all the damn firewood he had tried to lug back like a fool.  That emotion quickly turned to concern when Arora warned him of some sort of "incident" that had happened at the cabin.  If one of the squad had hurt or offended that kindly old goblin in anyway while I was gone... he thought to himself as he rushed back toward the cabin, ...there'll be more than just a stern talking too this time around: there would be a write-up in their file!  Finally he felt outright panic as he entered the cabin to find the the window broken and most of the group battered and bruised in some capacity.  "What in the Hells happened here!" he shouted out as he dropped the logs on the ground and immediately began working on each of the wounded.  When he eventually settled down enough to hear the story of the Barghast and have a better sense at just how tired the group was, Doc paused his work to turn to the entire group and say, "We're camping here overnight.  That's an order.  None of you are in a condition to keep going, especially with the amount of enemies that might still be out there.  Rest up and we move out at first light..." (assuming it's night time).  He then returned to his work, eventually treating every member of the party before moving tiredly finding a spot against the wall and falling asleep almost instantly.

(Chapter 3 post to come shortly)

"What in the Hells happened here!" he shouted out as he dropped the logs on the ground and immediately began working on each of the wounded.
"I was trying to sleep and then kablamo! I was outside!" Kasha said.

"We're camping here overnight.  That's an order.  None of you are in a condition to keep going, especially with the amount of enemies that might still be out there.  Rest up and we move out at first light..." 
Kasha curled up in the same spot she was in, looked around warily this time, and then made an attempt to fall asleep.

When everyone woke up, it was still night time due to the eclipse. It made your biological clocks confused.

The following day the group continues their journey, with Daewen and Arora taking the usual lead to scout.  The forest eventually clears and after a short while they can see a large structure in the distance.  Oh, I do hope that we have finally caught up with those drow she thinks as they continue their approach.  As they round the bend and a small chapel comes into view.  Oooh, this is interesting.  "Keep your eyes open Daewen, you never know what might be lurking in this area... there might be more undead". Arora starts becoming much more cautious as they move along and come near to the chapel.

Aroraception: 22 

Raza feels much better after the healing from Arora and Doc.  The time to sleep helped as well, she was refreshed as she could be with this constant darkness.  Exiting the clearing she sees the castle and then the chapel.  She shakes her head no.  "I have no idea who they worship here."  she says quietly, looking around.

Ghost in the Graveyard! 16

Mock awoke with the others, feeling the hits from the previous days. But a few grunts and some severe bone-cracking noises later, she's stretched and ready to go. She falls into her normal position near the back of the group as they travel, humming quietly to herself. Her axe is a heavy weight against her back, and she keeps her hands deep in her pockets as they go. They've gotta catch up to the drow soon, she's sure of it. Her team doesn't fail, after all; she's got her full belief in them. So she's relaxed as she walks. Even as they start seeing a chapel and a castle in the distance.

Gods, she hopes they're going to the castle. She's heard lots of fun stories about castles before.

Perception: 6

Raza, as you guys head west along the road towards the Chapel and the Castle, one of the tombstones in the graveyard looks askew. Upon further investigation, there is a hinge system on it. What the?

Kasha sniffed the air. "It smells funny around here." she said, wrinkling her nose.
