PeaceKeepers of Northmorrah

Anyone who puts a hand (or Paw) upon akiin feels invigorated as electricity tingles over your skin tightening wounds and rushing the body's healing process (11hp plus the ability to immediately spend up to two hit dice of healing)

Akiin sees that everyone gets into the pack safely before responding, Gewyn calling Spyro back who appears from invisibility and swoops around asking how good they did. 

Before Akiin keeps moving he sighs, "I HAVE COME TO LEARN THAT THE THUNDER IS A SAFE SPACE FOR THE DREADNAUGHT, I'M NOT SURE IF THE DREADNAUGHT OR VOX CONTROLS IT BUT I KNOW THAT VOX CONTROLS THE DREADNAUGHT... OR DID ONCE."

Vin and especially Neferox gladly take the offered healing from Akiin.

"I guess we have no choice but to find out. If Nivara gets her hands on Elthana, it seems it is pretty much over for everyone here anyway", Vin replies a little nervously. "I still have a couple of potions of clairvoyance I could use to see in the cloud, but it is very big, and likely obscures vision. But it's better than nothing. What do you think?", he asks Akiin, Muir and Gewyn.

Vin Hit Die: 5+4=9
Neferox Hit Dice: 2+6+2=10

Muir hypothesizes after listening to Vin and Akiin, moving forward to receive some healing "If Vox controlled it once and now Nivaraa controls Vox it seems we could make the conclusion that Nivarra controls it now through Vox....Vox is alive adjacent or was at least able to communicate to Sam.....sadly he is not with us so here we are.....You may as well try the potion Vincent. It is all we have right now...although....well I could reach out to the spirits of nature and ask them for guidance as well augury....it will take me 10 minutes well that's our time for me to cast the ritual perhaps it is faster here then. Shall we then?"

As Akiin starts moving again, slower this time, the thunder cloud looms bigger and bigger. Vin pinpoints a location far above the cloud, above the beast that dwells within and looks down upon it. 

Vin.

The birds eye view you gain is completely taken up by the mass of the thunder cloud, you see flashes from the lightning under it silhouetting the gargantuan creature. The sheer size of it is terrifying. A mountain range of a creature thrashing slowly side to side in the flashes as it is illuminated from under. You see the haze of colour in an orb through the clouds, somewhere stop the head of the creature and surmise that this must be the miasma surrounding the castle, you do not see Elthana, nor her Wyvern, but you know where she is headed and since stopping to defeat the dragonborn you see that she could have already made it into the miasma at this distance.

You also see your group carried in the pack by Akiin, the size difference is that of a flea approaching a shire horse. The creature begins to swing a massive limb out toward the group. But you see it before it manages to strike out of the cloud at you all.

Muir. 

You feel the pressure of foreknowledge like never before, an overwhelming fear takes you over as the feeling of woe is presented stronger than ever before. 

Gewyn.

After taking the offered healing from Akiin, Gewyn keeps a watchful eye on the thunder cloud. He plays a soothing ditty as the tension mounts, not just for the others but for himself. He makes sure both Spyro and Neferox are okay as the two of you are busy divining. (Can offer cure wounds to Nef if she is missing hp)

Muir comes out of his trance with the spirits of nature and is pale....pale for even a human let alone loxodon......"This plan is folly....We will all die including Elthana. She has made it to the monster....we should stick to the planned course of action and not commit suicide unless one of you have a different plan? This one will surely fail and end in all of our deaths."

"what choice do we have?" Gewyn interjects calmly. "If she's already at the castle then we have to stop Nivara's ritual... Everything is at stake" he sighs watching the thunderclouds, but straightens filling himself with determination and stowing his cittern. "I'm not leaving Elthana to die after all of this."

"I agree with Muir. I don't want to be pessimistic, but we know we cannot get into the castle without the shield being taken down, and we can't do that alone", Vin says, the frustration he is feeling clear in his voice.

"We have to hope that whatever this ritual is, takes time, and that Elthana can somehow delay it", he continues, before his eyes go wide. "Akiin, the dreadnought is reaching out for us, keep a safe distance", he warns.

"We need to contact the others and see how far away they are".
