Lai sets her jaw at Nobriki which seems to highlight the lines of the knight of Pelor's face as if this is a face she makes all too often.
"I will not allow it. There must be away to help her," Lai rebuffs the very thought of ended her friend's existence forever. "Leave us if you don't wish to help. I will help her myself," Lai adds pulling herself up to her above average dwarven height her skin just as brilliantly radiant as if even more radiant than before as she moves over Deirdre protectively!
"I fear your friend is not to be found in this vessel anymore, but I will remain true to my word and honor your wish. Where do you think we might find the knowledge or magic strong enough to aid her?"
"Let's take a moment." Blair's says soothingly, a gentle smile on his lips, "Why don't we listen to a tune to calm our minds? I have a song that I think will suit here very well."
Blair takes out his bamboo flute, runs his fingers over the smooth surface, and lifts it to his lips. He closes his eyes, taking a deep breath, and begins to play a lively tune. The first few notes light and happy, like a sunny day in spring. The melody dances and twirls, light as a feather, the notes bright and sharp, carrying hope and joy that he wishes would remind Lai of Deirdre's vivacious spirit.
Then, the tempo gradually slows, and the notes become more mournful, like the soft sound of raindrops falling on a quiet night. Blair's fingers move gracefully over the flute, his expression pensive, as he channels the deep sense of sadness and loss Lai is feeling into the tune where she is struggling to come to terms with the loss of her friend.
Blair reaches the end of the melody, and the tune takes on a new quality, one of peaceful acceptance. The notes are slow and gentle, like the gentle lullaby of a mother to her child. It's a reassuring sound, full of comfort and love. The melody seems to be telling Lai that it's time to let go, that her friend is no longer with them, and that it's time to find peace in her memory.
Blair finishes the song, the final note lingering in the air for a moment before fading away. Blair looks at Lai, his eyes full of understanding and compassion, waiting for her to speak. "What do you think?"
((Blair tries to use Enthralling Performance on Lai (DC13 Wisdom save))
((If you perform for at least 1 minute, you can attempt to inspire wonder in your audience by singing, reciting a poem, or dancing. At the end of the performance, choose a number of humanoids within 60 feet of you who watched and listened to all of it, up to a number equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). Each target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be charmed by you. While charmed in this way, the target idolizes you, it speaks glowingly of you to anyone who talks to it, and it hinders anyone who opposes you, although it avoids violence unless it was already inclined to fight on your behalf. This effect ends on a target after 1 hour, if it takes any damage, if you attack it, or if it witnesses you attacking or damaging any of its allies.
If a target succeeds on its saving throw, the target has no hint that you tried to charm it.))

"My temple in Westruun to start. You said Caladon was with you...he would agree with me not to throw away a good woman's chance at life," Lai adds sounding exhausted but very concerned as well.
Blair offers to play and Lai doesn't intervene but looks confused by the bard's offered solution.
Lai WIZ save 10 against Blair’s charm.
Lai keeps her resolve at the end of the song although Deirdre it seems is less agitated!
Eron was so caught up in Blair’s performance he was sad to think about Apple-Jack in such a way, when Lai held onto her resolve, it was like a sword being drawn and a line made on a battlefield. Eron looks at Lai and nods, feeling incredibly impressed by her loyalty and resolve. He continues his watch for his beloved companion, silently praying for their safety.
Nobriki snorts in frustration. He snorts and turns his heel back and forth, thinking. He decides it will be less frustrating to not be face to face with the decision that isn't his favorite.
"Well, looks like y'all have this all well in hand here. Let me know if you need any more heals. In the meantime, think I'll head downstairs and make sure the defenses are in place and someone is available to let in Cal when they get back."
He excuses himself and hops around Quatt and straight over the railing to downstairs. He will sort of just kick around, grab a bottle of mead, and go check on the defenses with the mead in one hand.
Silf quietly listens to the back and forth between Nobriki and Lai, then tears up at Blair's beautiful performance. The fairy has remained uncharacteristically quiet, trying to figure out how to best help everyone. She pities Lai's situation, but is moved by the knight's dedication to her fallen friend. With a tiny sigh she steps to the corner of the room and plops down on the ground, deciding to rest for a moment. As she notices Deirdre's calmer demeanor following Blair's performance, Silf considers a little slide-whistling, but rethinks it at the knight's serious appearance. Resting her chin on her tiny knees, she watches as the tallfolk figure out the best course of action.

Eron looks out the windows upstairs onto the crossroads outside the tavern and spots coming from the road are the bloodied but alive figures of Beryl and Cal atop Navar with Apple Jack trailing behind them. The wagon and other horses however are missing! Coming towards the tavern Beryl lets Cal down as she dismounts behind him. Beryl is slightly limping as she looks to the door of the tavern and calls out to Cal to watch out! Cal barely misses the hole Silf made in front of the door. Eron can see a few figures shambling out of the woods coming towards the tavern and the movement of his new companions!
Quatt you can roll Nature or Medicine.
Nobriki returns downstairs and can hear movement outside! Then hears Beryl's voice calling out to Caledon!

Nobriki hears Eron shout out that their companions are back and he will clutch his shield tightly in his left hand, shout he need to cast a spell quickly, and start pushing and kicking away the clutter haphardly pushed up against the doorway so that he can pull the door open. When he gets it close enough that he thinks he can just clear the rest by opening the door he will slide open the latch and give the door a yank.
"Almost got it!" he shouts as he works aside the mess.
Blair's heart races as he sees Beryl's limping figure and Cal's bloodied face. He rushes down the stairs and joins Nobriki at the door, pushing away the barricade. Blair’s heart clenches as he hears the sound of the undead getting closer, the moaning and shuffling of feet becoming louder and more insistent.
"Quick, come inside!" Blair says, as the door finically opens and he helps Cal and Beryl inside.
Beryl moves through pulling Navar in as well as Cal leading in Apple Jack into the tavern as well! Both animals look as harried as the fighter and the cleric! Before releasing Navar's reigns and pushing the door closed behind them.
"Quickly! Barricade the door," Beryl calls out as she begins to push tables and chairs scattered about in front of it having bolted the large heavy oak door behind them. After situating the barricade back in place she collapsing in a chair. "We lost the wagon and the horses," Beryl begins again sounding somber as she pushesher hair off her face, a mix of blood and sweat! Beryl also has a nasty gash on her tight as well as a piece of broken pole sticking out! "Cal...Cal was able to save Apple Jack," she adds and Cal nods moving to her amd examining her wounds.
"They're swarming from the north road to Turst Fields, " Cal explains as he opens his pack and removes a healers kit getting to work on Beryl's wounds.
Cal himself has a large cut on his face and looks like he's also bleeding from his torso in multiple places!
"Is...did you find survivors in here," Beryl asks Blair as Cal cuts free her linen pants to reveal spear head lodged there!

Quatt can tell from his experience with decay that Deirdre doesn't have much longer to be 'enacted' the bite wound on her arm is festering much like the flesh sluffing off her wrists as well as ankles where her bindings keep her from lashing out at the party. Quatt doesn't know much about reanimated dead but he knows decay is consuming Deirdre faster than nature itself would allow alone. There is something far more sinister at work here!
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"There is someone upstairs I think you will want to meet, and someone you definitely will not, but yes, we did find a survivor here. Hold still and I will help to knit the worst of your wounds."
Nobriki says as he places a gentle hand on Cal's shoulder, while Cal patches up Beryl. He closes his eyes and whispers a pair to his lady Titania. Healing Cal for 7 points of Lay on Hands. He knows that Cal will be too focused on getting Beryl patched up to take care of himself.
He then moves over to Beryl and traces a star pattern on Beryl's leg, speaking the words for his Cure Wounds spell in Sylvan. Healing Beryle for 3
Quatt will stroke his chin, pulling off a now dead piece of fungus and letting it drop to the floor. "Hmm, this decay is not natural, there is something more...unnatural...perhaps evil?" He looks up to the others and points a claw at Deidre, "This one cannot be healed, if the desire is to have her back to life, perhaps best to destroy this body and use magic to just return her to her more natural life form, although that magic is not something that I can do."
Eron runs down to Apple-Jack kneels down with tears in his eyes speak with animals”Are you hurt?” Eron looks Apple over nose to tail.
He hears Beryl say that Cal saved Apple-Jack. Eron walks to Cal choked up he manages to look Cal in the eyes, “Thank you. If you want or need anything from me, please I’m at your service. When this is over please I’d like to know more about your faith also.”
