Binder's Hold and the Problem with the Mine.

Will save:  3 vs Kumiko's attack

"Damn. It's too far out in the lake. We won't be able to get close to it... unless if there's a raft of some sort that we can hop on!" The dark knight growls as he hurls a javelin before stopping to search for anything that can transport them a little closer to the water thing.

Javelin Attack: 15 Damage: 9 + 1 Radiant from Divine Smite

"I see a boat on our left! This way and hop on!" Kumiko yells as she jumps into the boat and waits for the black knight to follow suit.

Round 2: Blasts Sacred Flame in case she needs to hold onto her higher level spells for something else. (DC 16 DEX Save this time or get burnt with 6 radiant damage)

Aegnor converses with those of his friends with him as to what Shadow has found out about the Girls' stuff. Telepathically if possible as the arbiter comes in.

Unless prompted by the group to a different plan Aegnor says, "I know the truth and will share it."  Fail saving throw.

Bridgette sighs.

"I don't think we did anything wrong... even though I'm still not quite sure what the hell happened myself except that I got lucky and when I got back here someone was impersonating me..." (Bridgette willingly fails her saving throw).

Vanja grumbles about someone going through her stuff, but at least it's still there. She willingly fails the save and tells the truth about what she saw. "I was asleep, then there was fighting... then we went down a tunnel and there was more fighting and people pretending to be my mates here, and then they ran away and pretended to be other people!" She shrugs. 

Gema would also willingly fail the saving throw, but only answer of directly prompted

The Water Weird shudders turns towards you and makes a decision (1-3 Kumiko, 4-6 Zelgius) 4

(Had to check Divine strike, it doesn't make weapons magical, so half damage from piercing on the Water Weird, but full damage from the divine part.) 

• Water Weird attacks Zelgius, 11 Damage 16 Bludgeoning

Kumiko uses Silver Barbs as a reaction on the water's attack and lets the black knight get advantage on his next attack roll

Round 2: Blasts Sacred Flame in case she needs to hold onto her higher level spells for something else like that. (DC 16 DEX Save this time or get burnt with 5 radiant damage)

It is now Zelgius' & Kumiko's turn.   Zelgius Make a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) DC: 13 to avoid being grappled.

Meanwhile, back in the hostel, the arbiter priest takes your statements with a bored air, writing down your responses.  When he finishes his questions, another arbiter comes in and hands him a note.  After perusing the letter, he smirks and dismisses the note bearer.  He turns to you chuckling.

"Apparently you're off the hook. Not only have you given honest answers, but the one person who could have you punished for interfering with his plans has just been found dead."

He then tells you about how Lt. Mitchelson has been found with his throat slit and jaw removed, the same way that Agnir and the Fake Gema had theirs removed.  The Fake Gema turned out to be the head shaman of the lizardmen (Disguise spell) that the ladies of your group had been partying with earlier.  Gerald (the priest who interrogated you) informs you that you that the head arbiter has decided all is good and no punishment will be needed.  He then makes a suggestion that you keep you heads low and try not to attract the arbiter's attention in the future.  He mutters something about her hating being bothered by such nonsense.

He also mentions that you should go to the townhall tomorrow morning after reverie to get your new orders.

Rerolling Water Weirds attack due to Silvery Barbs 24

Kumiko, who gets the benefit from the Silvery Barbs?

(It still hits damn it)

Strength Save: 16

Reaction: Hellish Rebuke as he swears in his own language and unleashes a fire wave by slamming Alondite into the ground (DC 15 DEX Save or take 12)

Dex save vs Zelgius' Spell Dc 15: 16

Action: Pulls Alondite out of the ground and slashes back twice. (Both rolled in logs)

Attack 1: 25, Damage: 14 

Attack 2: 23, Damage: 8

"Hang on Kumiko it's coming towards me! Get off the boat for now!"

The Water Weird dissipates!  The sword is yours!

"Hmm. it seems like it's over... That monstrosity was weakened though. So it would make sense on why it didn't last long." The dark knight mutters as he picks up the sword and inspects it. "But... why would it be dragging a fine weapon like this back down to its own depths?"

"Whew. That was fun. Shame it didn't last long though I agree. Now what about a sword you mentioned hm?" The kumiho says energetically as she curiously eyes both swords that the dark knight is holding onto. "Geez the way you retaliated when that monster struck you though... woah. Now you've piqued my senses!"
