Lyrena takes a deep breath, and sings an impossibly high, eardrum-piercing note.

DC 17 CON save for all the grells or 11 thunder damage, half on save.

Round 1 (con't): (Map)
Davis moves next to a bigger (but not fully large) fairy and attacks the green grell, hitting with both strikes.
Lyrena screams at the floating brain-things! (Pink:19 Yellow:5 Green:11 Blue:21 Red:4)
The green grell drops!

Round 2:
Zyllynne 
Vesta 
Vanizi 
Grells

Quote from Rhanloi >>

Round 1 (con't): (Map)
Zyllynne rages and charges at the floating bird-like brains, chopping at the black one and catching the pink one with the wide arc of her swing!
Vesta hits four different grells with rays of fire! 
Vanizi hexes the same grell (black) Zyl attacks, killing it with her first bolt of energy. The next two bolts impact the pink one, adding more damage to it.
Grells are effectively blocked by the big fairy into the back half of the space - good for the rest of the party but tough on the barbarian!
 -- Black
 -- Pink pecks at Zyl with its beak and grabs at her with its tentacles (Beak Attack: Dice rolls not yet available for this section. Damage: Dice rolls not yet available for this section. Paralyzing Tentacle Attack: Dice rolls not yet available for this section. Damage: Dice rolls not yet available for this section.)
 -- Green moves up and does the same...(Beak Attack: Dice rolls not yet available for this section. Damage: Dice rolls not yet available for this section. (Beak Attack: Dice rolls not yet available for this section. Damage: Dice rolls not yet available for this section. Paralyzing Tentacle Attack: Dice rolls not yet available for this section. Damage: Dice rolls not yet available for this section.)
 -- Yellow reaches with their long tentacles to grasp at Zyl! (Paralyzing Tentacle Attack: Dice rolls not yet available for this section. Damage: Dice rolls not yet available for this section.)
 -- Red also grabs at Zyl. (Paralyzing Tentacle Attack: Dice rolls not yet available for this section. Damage: Dice rolls not yet available for this section.)
 -- Blue hangs out this round...

 

 Rerolling these since they seem to have disappeared!

Pink Beak Attack: 11 Damage: 11 : Tentacle Attack: 15 Damage: 5
Green Beak Attack: 13 Damage: 8 : Tentacle Attack: 11 Damage: 12
Yellow Tentacle Attack: 21 Damage: 10
Red Tentacle Attack: 7 Damage: 5

If the target is a Medium or smaller creature and hit by a tentacle attack, it has the Grappled condition (escape DC 12) from two of ten tentacles. The target is also subjected to the following effect. Constitution Saving Throw: DC 11. Failure: The target has the Poisoned condition and repeats the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. After 1 minute, it succeeds automatically. While Poisoned, the target has the Paralyzed condition.

(Only 1 of those attacks hits, and Zyl is a large creature now while she's raging so she can't be grappled by them. Nat 20 on the CON save though for 28 total.)

Vesta casts another Scorching Ray, targeting the pink, yellow and red grells! (Add 5 fire damage to the first ray due to Elemental Affinity.)

Ray 1 - Attack: 23 Damage: 3

Ray 2 - Attack: 26 Damage: 9

Ray 3 - Attack: 16 Damage: 10

"Die you big ugly buzzards!" Zyl keeps swinging away at the flock of grells.

Pink first if still alive, then just move her down the line otherwise.

Action: attack

Attack 1: nat 1 misses! *sad face*

Attack 2: 23 to hit; 18 slashing/fire + 5 fire (elemental cleaver) + 3 (rage bonus) = 26 fire damage

If available: Cleave mastery (hit an adjacent target): 18 to hit; 7 fire slashing (+3 rage bonus I think? Just no extra modifier)

Round 2: (If Zyl is Large, then she is blocking the narrow space to the back section where they are. Nobody else can get a melee attack in, and ranged attacks will be a bit more challenging since the giant fairy will obstruct your view =) Map
Zyllynne takes a mighty swing but badly misjudges the available space, carving out a piece of Redbud's roots! He second attack hit the pink grell. (No other enemy that close enough to cleave until one of them moves forward...)
Vesta manages to send three rays of fire around her big friend, hitting the pink, yellow and red grells once each.
Vanizi ...
Grells

Vanizi shifts her Hex to the pink grell (or the next one that seems injured if that one is down already).  She then casts Eldritch Blast at the same creature, sending three motes of energy at it. 
(Spell Attack: 19, Damage: 14)
(Spell Attack: 31, Damage: 12) 
(Spell Attack: 14, Damage: 9) 
(if any hit, Hex Damage: 2 necrotic) 

Round 2 (con't): Map
Zyllynne takes a mighty swing but badly misjudges the available space, carving out a piece of Redbud's roots! He second attack hit the pink grell. (No other enemy that close enough to cleave until one of them moves forward...)
Vesta manages to send three rays of fire around her big friend, hitting the pink, yellow and red grells once each.
Vanizi keeps flinging beams of eldritch energy at the grells, hitting with all three despite the large barbarian fairy blocking her line of sight ;-) The pink grell drops to the floor with the first hit, and the other two beams slam into the yellow grell. 
Grells
 -- Yellow and red move up to attack Zyllynne. (Yellow Beak Attack: 17 Damage: 11 & Tentacle Attack: 8 Damage: 3 >< Red Beak Attack: 19 Damage: 11 & Tentacle Attack: 6 Damage: 9)
 -- The blue grell floats forward so that its long tentacles and grasp at the fairy also! (Blue Tentacle Attack: 13 Damage: 6 )
Davis 
Lyrena

Davis will use his BA to Get into it!, teleporting himself next to purple and red, then attack purple!

14 dmg: 16

25 dmg: 20

Round 2(con't):
Davis misty-cally disappears and then reappears behind the grells, landing two strikes on the blue (purple) one and almost knocking it down to the ground!
Lyrena 

Round 3: (Map)
Zyl 
Vesta 
Vanizi
Grells

Vanizi moves her Hex to the yellow grell then launches another trio of motes of energy at that target. (OOC - Switching if needed.) 
(Spell Attack: 26, Damage: 9 force) 
(Spell Attack: 24, Damage: 12 force) 
(Spell Attack: 19, Damage: 9 force) 
(if any above hit, Hex Hamage: 3 necrotic)

"You holding up ok there Zyl?" she asks after her strike. 

Vanizi's first blast and hex drops the yellow grell to the deck with the others and her next two impact the red grell. The two remaining grells (Red and Blue) are very injured!

Zyl laughs as she swings her greataxe at the grells again. "Oh yeah! This is great! Ha!"

Action: attack! (red, then blue if needed)

Attack 1: (w/adv flanking) 26 to hit, 12 slashing/fire + 1 (elemental cleaver) + 3 (rage bonus) = 16 fire total

Attack 2: 28 (normal) to hit, 17 slashing/fire + 6 (elemental cleaver) + 3 (rage bonus) = 26 fire total

Vesta unleashes some magic missiles at the red grell if it is still alive after Zyl's onslaught!

Missile 1 - 2 force damage

Missile 2 - 2 force damage

Missile 3 - 4 force damage

Zyllynne hacks and slashes her way through the last two grells, ending their threat! (Combat over! How is everyone doing health-wise?)

Calling up to Redbud that you have killed all of the monsters, it moves its roots so that you now have access to a door to a cabin that lies west of you (Z13), and the bottom part of the lifeboat that rests in the Lambent Zenith hull to your east (Z12). 

In the bottom portion of the lifeboat, you see that a cot is shoved against one wall here opposite a desk. Sitting in the room’s center is a reddish-brown dog with a leather collar studded with glowing crystals. As the roots move out of the way, it wags its tail and excitedly bounds over to introduce himself. It starts to bark, then the crystals on its collar glow and you hear in Common, "I am Ikasa! Thank you for getting rid of those awful monsters and freeing me! Have you seen my friend Davey? We were traveling together before, then wrecked here...I am sad without him." 

(Zyl is fine, most of the attacks missed her)

Zyl shrinks back to her normal size as she continues on. "Aww! Hi Ikasa! I'm Zyllynne, but you can call me Zyl! You want a brownie? I don't remember someone named Davey but maybe they're around here somewhere yeah? We're looking for a stick!"

"I think Ikasa means Daveras," Vanizi tells Zyl.  She then looks to the dog. "Is that it? Are looking for Daveras? Is that Davey?" 

Ikasa's tail wags even harder because you know his friend! And you're friendly!! You recognize Ikasa is a blink dog, and his collar must allow him to speak in common. He tells you that he was afraid to use his teleportation ability due to the wreck’s warped magic, so he remained in the lifeboat with Redbud.

Then, the blink dog becomes uncharacteristically morose. As he talks about Daveras and the wreck, Ikasa reveals he saw Daveras’s friend, the halfling Palenna Tindertoe, escape the wreckage of the Verdant Branch after pirates attacked it. Palenna floated away from the ship using the power of her mind and likely still floats somewhere in the Astral Sea. Ikasa didn’t tell Daveras, who believes he, Redbud, and the blink dog were the only survivors of the attack. Ikasa hasn’t had the opportunity to find Palenna due to being trapped on the lifeboat, and he is afraid Daveras will become despondent thinking about his friend trying to survive in the Astral Sea alone. (This counts as a secret for the purposes of the Power of Secrets!)

Vesta is delighted by Ikasa. She has always wanted a dog but given her duties as a Harper agent and all the adventures she's been on recently, she's never had the time to dedicate to taking care of an animal in the way they deserve. And this dog talks, which delights her even more. What a loyal dog, too, eager to be reunited with his master and looking out for his master's companions.

"Ikasa, you've been a very good boy," the sorceress reassures him. "We could try to look for Palenna. Could you show us the approximate location where she floated away? Also, could I pet you? Would that be all right?"
