Roland again used his magic to deflect one of the gnoll lord's attacks... only for the second to land right across his chest. Muttering a quick prayer, the local hero steeled himself, then swung in to finish his foe.
REACTION: Cast Shield (last turn) - but still take 5 damage ACTION: Cast Booming Blade, targeting the gnoll lord * Booming Blade Slash - Attack: 25, Mundane Slashing Damage: 6, or 19 instead on crit (An extra 1 Thunder damage if it hits and the gnoll lord moves.)
Roland stood back, a bit in disbelief. He'd managed to block her weapon twice, yet the creature had somehow managed to bite him just as she died? And it wasn't exactly a light wound, it was pretty bad! Frustrated and irritated, Roland kicked the downed gnoll lord in the head, wishing she were still alive and conscious to feel it.
Looking at the others to ensure they were safe, the farmboy sat down and doffed his shield, attempting to tend to his wound. "Well," he began, the sting of bitterness evident in his voice, "that was unpleasant. I'd suggest we rest a bit before continuing, or this bite might be the death of me."
Twig laughs at Roland, "Why did you let it bite you? It's not that hard to avoid! Oh wait, you can't dodge very well cause you've gotta cart that armor around! HA!" Then she dashes up to the adventurer lady. "Well hi there! Didn't think you'd see me again did ya! Your welcome by the way."
If the cage needs to be lock picked Twig will try to pick the lock (despite the fact that the gnolls probably have the key). If not, she will cut the ropes with her dagger.
Zhernon slowly sits up and makes a few unpleasant noises before flopping back on the ground to rest. "Thank you..." they say in a loud whisper, best they can manage for the moment, staring up at the sky and hoping rescuing this lady was worth it.

Zhernon comes over and gives Twig a reassuring pat on the shoulder before showing her the key and using it to unlock the cage. They will give the woman a good look over too just in case anything seems off. (Perception 23)
Roland chuckled. "Not hardly. Never seen her before." He turned to Marish. "How in the world did you get captured by those creatures?"
(( Roland isn't doing much because he's tending to his wounds. But rather than a Medicine check or potion, I'll tie it into us taking a short rest; I'll roll hit die when we officially take the rest. ))
Twig sits back with a frustrated expression just as Zhernon taps her shoulder. Shoving her tools back in her pouch, she stands up then grins at Marish. "My name is Twig! Are you still annoyed with me?"
When Roland replies to the mushroom man Twig pipes up,"What are you talking about? We met her at the tavern! ...kind of... She didn't like me then.... Oh didn't she say her friend was missing or something?"

What do you do next?
"ARRGH!"

Tools: 11
Zhernon slowly sits up and makes a few unpleasant noises before flopping back on the ground to rest. "Thank you..." they say in a loud whisper, best they can manage for the moment, staring up at the sky and hoping rescuing this lady was worth it.
"Hello. Can someone let me out of this cage" says the Adventurer Lady
(Twig is trying to do that :) )
Twig fails to pick the lock
(Yeah the gnolls have the key)
Twig is going to keep trying to pick the lock. (Unless someone else get's the key)
Tools: 14
Zhernon will watch Twig for a moment and then sigh briefly, before rolling themselves up to go look for a key on the gnolls. (Investigation 14)
Twig is unable to pick the lock. Zhernon finds a key among the dead gnolls.
Zhernon comes over and gives Twig a reassuring pat on the shoulder before showing her the key and using it to unlock the cage. They will give the woman a good look over too just in case anything seems off. (Perception 23)
The adventurer lady shakily crawls out of the cage.
Zhernon notices the wounds she probably got from the gnolls and a stone amulet that looks ancient.
"Thank you for the rescue. My name is Marish" says the adventurer.
Heric leans in to get a good look and turns to the party "Is she a friend of yours?"
Roland chuckled. "Not hardly. Never seen her before." He turned to Marish. "How in the world did you get captured by those creatures?"
