Etriel Darastrix consults with her companions: "On one hand, I don't like leaving the Mind Flayers behind... They might bother us when we least need them. But on the other hand, if the dragon has taken Musashi to eat him, we must get there quickly, before he devours him. What do you prefer? Personally... I would take the risk of leaving the Mind Flayers alone and go down to track our friend."
In response to Etriel, Gail agrees, "I don't like leaving the mind flayers either, but Musashi takes priority. But how do we get down? And how do we get back up afterwards? The dragon could have moved to any of the champers we saw on the way up, though my guess would be the chamber of treasure."
"The influence of the dragons is strong in me. I can make fly anyone who can't already" Etriel Darastrix assures. "If we all agree to search for our fallen comrade immediately, I'll do it right away."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ashlass examines the dead mind flayer, lifting its cloak to inspect the body.
“My opinion is… we deal with the squid-heads now rather than later. If we give them time, they’ll just form a new leader. Then it’ll be Elder Brain all over again. Right now, they’re confused. This is our chance.”
She clicks her tongue, slamming the monster on the ground.
Etriel Darastrix admits: "If it really takes that little time for the Mind Flayers to create an Elder Brain, then the threat they pose is indeed greater than I had imagined" and she focuses her green eyes questioningly on Doc JoJo and Dunen, eager to hear their opinions as well...
For now, with Gail preferring to prioritize Musashi and Ashlass preferring to prioritize the Mind Flayers, the situation is even...
“And I don’t know how long it takes for a new Elder Brain to form—but it should be a long time. Definitely not a day or two. So… let’s rescue the samurai first. Take me to the so-called treasure room, and I’ll cast a divination spell to see how he’s doing.”
Doc JoJo places his hand over Ashlass' hand as it taps the shoulder. "Glad we are going after a teammate. Give me a hot second to self heal some more as no one else needs any."
Etriel Darastrix is relieved that Musashi is finally being rescued. She hasn't known the warrior long, whose poetic words often have as much impact as Maul's mighty blows, but a worthy traveling companion is practically sacred to her, and she has elevated travel to her religion and her 'ikigai'.
The Foreign Traveler once again awakens the draconic powers that her childhood with Kraprum, the copper dragon cub, granted her. Suddenly, Gail, Doc JoJo, and Dunen feel they can soar through the air and fly, magically, simply by will. [[ OOC: She upcasts Fly with a 5th level slot, to target the 3 characters ]]. "I'll have to keep my concentration on this spell," she explains, "so if we encounter threats before we find our friend, I'll have fewer options than usual. Fortunately," she allows herself a composed smile of encouragement, "nothing will stop me from using my Longbow".
With that, the Eladrin Huntress leads the party on Musashi's trail, as quickly as she can. She begins at the pool of blood they initially spotted and from there searches for any signs of the warrior's movement... or traces of blood (in case, as she fears, he has been knocked unconscious by his wounds and dragged away by the dragon to be eaten later). Since the entire party can fly for now, nothing should stop them from following the trail...
Good point. Well... Etriel Darastrix does not have a 6th level spell slot, so she can't possibly affect one more target. So... either Gail can keep Ignus in her arms, or we can let Dunen use an animal form with wings (or with excellent climbing ability) and Ignus gets targeted by Fly in his place.

There is a ten-foot-wide tunnel that the mind flayers ran. The colony is currently reacting badly to losing its Elder Brain.
The dragon... Well. In the time that you got to the dragon. It could be basically anywhere in the chasm.

Doc JoJo assumes he is no longer stunned.

Doc is 51% for going after a teammate. JoJo is also not smart enough to understand the mind flayer threat and need for speed ratio.
JoJo asks "Does anyone need more healing?...as for looking for Musashi, do we proceed with the cardinal sin of splitting the party?"
Gail shakes her he, "No! that's the worst thing we could do!"
“No, we don’t split the party.”
Ashlass pats Jojo on the shoulder.

You find that the dragon (And potentially Mushashi) went to the south. Down a series of tunnels.
