"I believe we are ready," Yellow says to Solis as she stares at the coffin with her spear at the ready.

Ready action to attack the vampire when she is in range: Spear of Undead Slaying Attack: 18 + Bless: 4; Damage: 7 piercing damage (additional damage vs. undead: 7 radiant damage)

Krav shakes his head, clearing himself from his stupor. He sheathes his sword and draws a wooden javelin, planning to drive it into the vampire's heart when the coffin is opened.

Taggart(31/31), Panwan(66/66), Solis(27/27), Yellow(24/28), Krav(3/49), Kaslo(30/30), Drita(16/24), Kvothe(11/24), 

Solis opens the lid and Blarb is inside the coffin with her arms folded across her chest and it looks to be as if she is sleeping. 

Krav stands over Blarg, javelin pointed at her heart, but hesitates.

"As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live," Krav says, quoting the verse from Zachariah's book.

"But you are already dead, vampire. So, destroyer, be destroyed yourself!"

With that, Krav drives the wooden javelin straight into Blarg's chest, piercing her heart. He leaves the weapon there, stepping back and bowing his head as he mutters something only those closest can hear.

Upon driving the wooden javelin into her heart Blarb opens her eyes briefly and her mouth opens as no sounds come out. She turns to a pile of dust in front of your eyes leaving a ring in the coffin.

At the same time a thundering boom can be heard in the pool room and a bright radiant light spreads out in all directions blindly everyone for a moment before disappearing, leaving everything back to the way it was. The smell of death and decay is gone from the place and it feels peaceful now. 

Well said Krav.  Taggart will pat him on the shoulder then go back to the previous room.  Gold is heavy to carry but Taggart will look to see if there are any expensive gems around 

perception 24 + 2 bless

Looking to take a dozen gems unless there is a small sack in the room I can fill with gems to put into my pack

Solis kneels over Drita, laying a hand on and muttering an incantation. Her breathing turns more regular and her bleeding stops, "She's not in any danger, though someone else will have to heal her if you want her to wake up anytime soon." He says to the others.

Going back to the coffin, Solis digs through the pile of ash, picking up a single ring which he pockets. He then moves back out to the main room, noticing the miasma of death had lifted from the place, he turns to the others, "Well, it seems we are safe enough, for now. That wight won't be coming back soon, I'd back my last gold on it. I guess I'll explain some things before I get staked next," he laughs but then turns somber, "but first, I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. I was hoping revealing myself would shock that creature long enough for us to save him, but that didn't work...." he pauses in reflection and respect for the dead, "Well, you probably noticed, but I'm an aasimar, a fallen one at that, I'm sure you all know something of what that means given your friend in there," he glances back to the side room where Drita lies unconscious, "so just know that I'm not some kind of harbinger of evil," he glances to the side with a peculiar expression, "and I'm here to help. I disguise myself as a human to bypass conversations like this one and while Solis isn't my actual name, I've been going by it longer than some of you have been alive so it's good enough. I was hired to rid this area of undead, that job being completed, I'd like to hire on with you all if you have more work to do here. You all seem capable, you fight for a good cause, and clearly have some kind of means of making good money given the magical items you all are carrying." He glances at the various magical items everyone is carrying,

"Speaking of, let's talk about what I can do for you. Besides my prodigious combat abilities and limited healing that you've already seen, I also have the ability to detect magical items." He then digs into his pockets and pack, lying out the Ioun stone, mace, two potions and ring. "Theses are all magical, as was the great sword that wight was using. Also, that trap that almost killed a couple of you was also magic; had you let me go in first, I could have told you that right away. Not pointing any fingers, just saying what I'm capable of. I don't have a way to tell you exactly what these items do, but I'm working on that as well as a few other spells you all would find highly useful given your lack of wizards, bards, or druids in your party. I can't fill all those roles as well as a specialist, but I'll be able cover that gap a little bit." He pauses, "Now what do I want in return? Information sharing and an even cut. Whatever you guys are going or will be going in this jungle, I want him. I'll take on my share, and then some, of the risk and danger, I just ask for a fair share of any profits. What do you say?" He pauses to await the groups answers, a jovial smile on his face.

Yellow walks over to stand above Lethandaar. She looks down on him, stowing her spear and shield. "I'm sorry," she says quietly. She draws her longsword and with a mighty swing decapatates the cleric.

Krav nods, grinning as his previous solemnity seems to be forgotten by the dwarf.

"You seem a good type," he tells Solis, walking over to the aasimar.

"I'd be glad to have you on the team," Krav says, holding out a meaty, grimy, and zombie guts-covered hand before thinking better of it, instead placing his hand on his sword hilt.

R2 Post 1869:

Krav looks with concern and surprise at Yellow.

"Uh, Yellow? This isn't your usual ritual..."

Yellow looks sadly at the barbarian. "I cannot trust that Blarb's words were lies. I could not take the chance of Lethandaar returning as an abomination. We can still send off our comrade with honor, even if his shoulders and neck have been separated."

As Yellow entered the Pool room heading towards Lethandaars body she noticed the pool that was as black as night is now crystal clear and Panwan is kneeling in front of it praying to Ubtao. "Thank you Lord Ubtao for giving me the strength to finish this quest. I am trying to cleanse the jungle for you Ubtao. I know you don't want your children to suffer. Evil suffered a great loss today and I cannot take any credit for it nor would I. These people I am traveling with deserve that honor in your eyes Ubtao. They are the ones that cleansed this tiny section of the jungle. It is they who should receive your blessing."

When he is done he does the hand gesture that you all know so well and kisses his fingers to the sky before getting up and walking into the next room. He looks down at Drita and smiles "Ubtao says its not your time yet" His hands glow a soft white light and Drita feels the warming sensation of healing spread through her body as her eyes open. (7 hp healed)

Panwan looks around at the treasure and shakes his head. "Good luck carrying all of that." He leaves the treasure room and goes back to the pool room and sits by the pool waiting for everyone to say they are ready to leave.

Drita gasps. She looks around the room a little confused. She sits up and kind looks around, she hadn’t seen so much treasure. She looks up at Panwan “Thank you friend. I’ll be sure to return the favor one day.” She winks at Panwan and joins the others, looking Solis up and down. Her face is still but you can tell she has questions welling up.

Taggart looks through the massive pile of treasure and comes across 10 different types of gems, diamonds, rubies, opals, emeralds. (Value 100 gp each, total 1000gp) and 7 jade statues(worth 25 gp each, total 175gp).

Everyone gets 625xp for the fight and another 250xp for finishing the mission for a total of 875xp

Current HP I have: Taggart(31/31), Panwan(66/66), Solis(27/27), Yellow(24/28), Krav(3/49), Kaslo(30/30), Drita(16/24), Kvothe(11/24), 

 

 

Taggart will go to Yellow “lethandar fought bravely, would you like some help with the burial?  I am not of the Order but would like to honor Leth’s sacrifice”. Taggart will collect the flute and the +1 dagger from Leth and help Yellow what anything she needs.  He will then Be ready to depart (unless we are doing a long rest to level up)

Yellow affectionately places a paw on Taggart's shoulder and nods silently. The two of them move Lethandaar's body and head into the coffin room. The tabaxi prays over the body, asking Ubtao to speak on his behalf in the afterlife as he had died fighting for Chult. She thanks Taggart for his help and then approaches Panwan. "Do you know where Eku is? I would like to ask her something."

"Eku was outside guarding the netrance to the cave. I assume she is still there." Panwan says.

Yellow looks around the pool room before walking out of the cave.

"Thanks, Krav, glad to be on board." He notices the aborted handshake and goes to pat the dwarf on the shoulder, but realizes it's equally disgusting and awkwardly aborts that as well, looking at the dwarf for a few seconds before nodding and walking off. He gathers the magical items he placed on the ground back up.

When Yellow decapitates Lethandaar's corpse, Solis grimaces, but only says "Probably for the best, Ilmater bless his soul." He then removes the man's pack, taking his water jugs, insect repellent, and rations. "I assume we'll be resting here for a short while?" He asks the others, "We can patch up and regain our strength." Solis then covers the man's corpse and head with the blanket from Lethandaar's own bedroll.

During short rest:

Looking thoughtfully into the now clear pool, he says, "I think we are good on water, though I doubt anyone would want to drink this after what we've seen of it. Should be good for bathing, though, haven't done that in tendays." While mumbling an incantation, he strips off his armor and clothes to reveal another set of similar (exactly the same) armor and clothes underneath them. He then bathes in the pool in full view of everyone, whistling a tune as his hands pass through his illusory clothes when he scrubs himself. He also cleans the clothes he wears under his armor, laying them out to dry outside.

Finding Drita, still clad in nothing but illusory clothing, he smiles, "Let's talk..."

((I figure we can do the convo in the new Discord IC chat so we don't hold up the flow.))

After speaking with Drita, Solis manipulates and studies the Ioun stone, trying to figure out its properties. 

Krav nods.

"I am still a little...tired after that trap," he admits sheepishly.

During the rest: Krav first turns away respectfully, then does a double take at Solis' antics. When the aasimar has left the pool, Krav fills his empty waterjug, then walks a little aways from everyone and pours the water on his hands and head. He refills the jug and pours it on himself, first taking off his shirt.

"Wish I had some magic clothes" he mutters.

Now Krav is mostly clean, with only a little grime, so he spends the rest of the rest cleaning his sword and reading from his book.

Hitpoints regained: 23

During the short rest, Drita talks with Solis. Eager to learn more from the Aasimar. She will then meditate and pray to Horus to ask for guidance, and to speak with her guide, after the conversation. She will also try to call her Patron to have a discussion

OOC: will roll hot dice in discord
