As Morgana tells elhutz whats up, Gremryl looks at her... "closest thing she has come to caring about.. " he thinks, there is hope for the young Lass. There is compassion in that smoldering volcano of a heart of hers.
It also gives him pause... He realizes he too feels the same about them. This motley crew of castoffs, outlaws, and a lost dwarf.. are now the closet thing he too has to a group to which he can commit too and care about. He says a silent thank you to Moradin, and straightens himself up a bit. Aye.. this will be it then. With these folks, He will find those who killed his family, and find them and smite them. They will also purge the Underdark of what Evil is contaminating it..
Elhutz to Morgana. " All I know is that I should have charged the client a lot more than I did to steal that box. I had to infiltrate an ancient crypt laden with traps to get it. I should have known the drow had something to do with it. The place had a very dark and sinister presence to it. Before I made my escape I overheard my captures speaking of reporting to someone called Mistress Ilvara. I don't know who she is but I assure you she will pay."

Ok, so lets take r long rest now. I'll take first watch. While I'm up, I want to do an arcana check on the little pearl I was given to try to get a better idea of what exactly it does.
The adventurers rouse themselves for the long day of walking ahead of them as they continue to make their way to Gracklestugh. After a few hours of walking at a normal speed, they enter a large opening that effuses a dim light, with a fog-like atmosphere in the air. The group sees large fist-sized chunks of quartz in the cavern walls and in the ceiling...these seem to be the source of the dim light.
Even though Elmo and Elhutz have been stealthily moving ahead of the group in order to spot threats in advance, before they're aware of anything in their way, three Carrion Crawlers drop from the ceiling about 50-feet ahead of the group!
To the party: "Try to stay as far back as you can, boys. I've got them nicely grouped for some big damage but I'd hate 2 c any of u caught in the blast."
Gremryl having gotten tired of getting beat up, breaks out his shield and uses a bonus action to light benny (mace) so its now alit with an angry green flame. (updated in dnd beyond character sheet, so my AC is now 19)
"Not today you lloth cursed crawlers of a demons arse!!"
"I'll use my mirror illusion to drop a menacing looking Gremryl on the crawlers flank. That should distract a bit and maybe clump them together for an attack."
Elhutz' illusion creates a copy of Gremryl in front of the group that attracts the attention of the first Carrion Crawler to take action. Quickly crawling towards the illusion, it attacks with a vicious round of tentacles (coincidentally Gremryl's favorite attack) and a bite. Hitting nothing when it's positive that it should have, it shrieks to the others. You suspect that it's communicating not to attack this target.
The second Carrion Crawler takes action and crawls up to the nearest enemy, Elmo. Attacking with its tentacles first, the attempt strikes cleanly off of the newly acquired Drowcraft Studded Leather Armor +2 and Elmo takes no damage. Furious at the failed attempt, the enemy tries to bite Elmo but misses as the Halfling dodges out of the way.
The third Carrion Crawler is too far away to reach any of the party members so ends its turn a lot closer to Gremryl than it started.
Hemeth runs towards the Carrion Crawler (3) and Enlarges to twice his original size! He ends his turn.
OK, bobby, you might have to help me out a little bit with the targeting but the idea is to get all 3 enemies with a fireball. I think if I center it on the target farthest from me it should hit all 3 without hitting any of my teammates. If you have to move where the fireball is centered a little bit, feel free to do so. Now for my actions...
1. Enable quickened casting
2. Cast two fireballs as described above. That's 16 d6 damage which I will roll for. Damage= 50 All 3 targets will have to make a dexterity saving throw with a DC of 15. Anybody that does takes half damage.
3. Tell stool to put out his psychic spores so we can all communicate
4. Move to the northwest a bit so that I am out of the melee action and end turn
I say to the group: "You know what I lover about physics... (conjure fireballs into my hands) at a hot enough tempreture, EVERYTHGIN burns! (throws fireballs)." As the fireballs streak through the cave I make little finger guns and blow on the barrels then holster them. I turn around and walk away all actiounous and pay no mind when they go off in a huge explosion!
Morgana's double fireball deals immense damage to all three Carrion Crawlers! The explosion radius reaches a couple of the crystal formations which trigger a secondary explosion that illuminates the entire cavern with an intensity that sears everyone's eyes.
Elmo is blinded by the light and has to rely on the memory of where he last remembers the Carrion Crawler attacking Hemeth. Unfortunately, Elmo's aim is off due to the blindness and swings wildly to the left missing the target completely.
Stool spreads the Rapport spores across the party so everyone can communicate telepathically now.

as the bright light envelopes the cavern Gremryl is reminded of a human song he heard in Winter deep: "Blinded by the light... blowing up crystals in the middle of the night!!... "
as he rolls his con check : 21
then, since elmo went to attack the carrion tht hemeth was attacking, i'll go for the one that was hitting elmo.
advancing on the carrionm, Gremryl mumbles "******* underdark.. moradins will.. can't walk into any gotdang cavern without being bothered by ******* tentacles, beaks and beeassst!! " bring down his mace as he finishes his sentence!
As he says this he reaches the carrion and rushes in shield field first and will bring Benny over hand flaming in all its glory onto that ****!
I'll convey all of that information to the party and again ask hutz to describe everything he knows about it and its origin.

Elhutz to Morgana. " All I know is that I should have charged the client a lot more than I did to steal that box. I had to infiltrate an ancient crypt laden with traps to get it.

Ok, so lets take r long rest now. I'll take first watch. While I'm up, I want to do an arcana check on the little pearl I was given to try to get a better idea of what exactly it does.
Arcana= 13
Morgana's Arcana check: Concentrating intently on the pearl, Morgana gains a sense of magical energy refreshment. A voice calls out to her It says:
When you need more power, because you've exhausted your own, call on me for aid, and your enemies you will pwn.
Roll Initiative!

I would also like to narrate my spell casting.
