Planar Warrior:4  BOOM

((Randy is going to need a quiver of infinite arrows if he keeps blowing them up. ))

((I like to picture everyone just stepping over Dornikal,  including the big coweater.))

Randy, how's it look when your planar empowered arrow finishes this creature?

Randy's arrow zips between the bug's open mandibles, finding a soft spot.  There's a concussive blast of energy, and the front of the bug's head vanishes in a spray of green goo. The creature spasms wildly and forthwith drops to the ground, limbs twitching for few seconds, then still...

The cavern goes quiet, except for your own sounds and the goo dripping from the ceiling. The dragonborn move to attend the fallen, others keeping wary watch for more bugs. 

Dornikal finds himself shaken awake by a dragonborn who gives him a nod and moves away.

Dornikal sits up, blinking furiously and looking from side to side for a moving target. Seeing that everything has already been taken care of he loosens his grip on his shield so it falls beside his sitting position. He sucks in a deep, calming breath and whispers a short prayer to himself.

"Well... Ye have freed Dumathoin's blessing. Good job."

He looks more than a little unsure mixed with anxious at what that will mean for him since he didn't have more of a hand in it.

After a moments of concerned introspection he'll retrieve his shield and say gruffly,

"Aye'll go check to make sure there aren't anymore back where this one came from."

He then heads in the direction the mega coweater trundled in from.

Seeing that some of the dragonborn are unconscious or dead, Coljin rushes over to them with concern and checks on them.  (Is he able to bring any of them back from negatives, or are they gone?)

Dornikal finds a chamber not much bigger than the big coweater, with orange waxy mounds along the base of the walls. Or at leas they would be orange if he could see colors in here.

Coljin, let's have a Medicine check?

Medicine!   11

You and the dragonborn are able to stabilize the two members of your squad that went down, but unfortunately Zokk's brave squad who went down earlier it is too late for. The surviving dragonborn trying to remain stoically alert to other dangers, a few of them moving to follow Dornikal while others move to the entrance to this cavern, but they are definitely affected by the loss.

Dornikal,  lost in his own shame, goes to the light grey waxy lumps and pokes at one with his sword.

He squints at it while he pokes and tries to determine if these are coweater eggs.

Nature: 12

If he decides they are he'll cut one open at the bottom to see if a cow-eater maggot falls out. If it does, and it's moving, he'll stop the moving before gesturing for the dragonborn to help him clear the eggs.

The cap parts to reveal a grub-like creature within a short fluid filled tunnel, where it writhes among a stew of partially digested remains of assorted creatures, some bestial, others sentient from the remains of clothing that are apparent. The dragonborn light torches and join Dornikal in the grim work of breaking them open, extracting and killing the grubs. When some of the remains reveal themselves to be dragonborn in nature, they are insistent on excavating the brood chambers.

Randy limps over to assist Coljin caring for the wounded. "Do you still have any charges on your healing rain dagger? If you do, we can get the wounded together and use it to get partly back in shape."

He looks over the fallen, shakes his head sadly, and with the permission of the surviving dragon born, begins administering last rites in the name of Obad-Hai and the All Mother.

As remains are sorted and grubs are crushed Dornikal starts saying prayers over the deceased. As he is unsure how much is who or what he keeps the prayer broad enough to encompass them all.

"Dumathoin, please grant the souls of those that whose remains lay here a quick passage to the realms beyond they seek and beyond."

Once the squishing and gathering is done he will reconvene with the others,

"Its done, Dumathoin's bounty is free to be mined by the dragonborn again. Aye would like to know where the big cow-eater came from to get in here in the first place, to make sure it doesn't happen again but the way those things tunneled it could have come from anywhere."

He pays his respects to the downed dragonborn and whispers a prayer to Dumathoin commending them for their heroism in his service.

"Sorry, we used the healing dagger once already today, I don't think it'll work again until tomorrow morning." (I am pretty certain that is how it works, right Spider?)

"However I conserved quite a bit of my power from Mielikki, so I have some healing spells left, we just have to see who is in most need."

Coljin does some prayers for the Dragonborn he cannot help, but knowing the other dragonborn cannot understand him, he does it rather quietly and hopes they understand his motives for his actions.

"Who is hurt badly, still?" he asks around while also trying to tell visually who is most hurt in case someone is just being quiet and stoic.

Medical check 10

He will also meander over to the large dead mother-bug.  He will try to deduce if whatever in it's body it used to cause the sleep effect was produces in a gland or something that could be medically extracted and then the liquid contained for later use.      another Medical, this time, autopsy check! 27

The dragonborn accept the rites and prayers stoically in the spirit in which they were intended, and begin gathering the identifiable remains from the brood chambers to be blessed as well, adding their own rites to the mix.

Coljin assesses the party. Two dragonborn in his squad are down but stable for now, Zokk is quite hurt, having gone down before being healed, and Randy has taken a fair beating. (The dagger has a finite pool of points it can restore, if the pool was expended earlier, it's tapped until it replenishes.)

He's not certain how the sleeping gas was produced, whether there is more inside the body, or how to get at it safely. It'd be some trial and error, but it could be attempted.

The Seer's grand-daughter approaches Randy, speaking to him in Draconic. "Mine is free, our people avenged. Want to burn our dead, under night sky, our way. But we have others above, maybe more bugs. If small holy one can heal those still breathing, we go back up and finish, to make for sure all bugs dead are."

Randy nods assent and translates for the others.

Listening to Randy translate, Coljin nods and states a short, "Yes", to their question of healing.

He uses a 3rd level slot to heal the dragonborn crew and also Zokk.

Zokk healing: 22

Dragonborn healing: 24

Heading over to Randerwaith he intones for his goddesses blessings again and heal him, too (2nd level slot for him) 

Randy healing: 23

He then states, "Let's clear out any other of the smaller bugs we missed as they request, but then we need to come back here.  I want to try to get some of that sleep gas from this large bugs body.

Randy nods his gratitude, goes around collecting as many arrows as he can find,  and indicates he's ready to proceed.
