With the group deciding to return to Feathergale Spire, Carrhae kicks off her boots and begins resting in the carriage. While she allows her body to get the rest that it hasn't been able to have in the last day, Carrhae has an experience. She doesn't know whether she's having a dream, a vision, or if this is something else entirely. But suddenly, she isn't in the carriage anymore. She's beside a pond, the sky is colored in the reds and purples of sunset, and there's a red-headed woman with a green dress. A smile crosses her freckle covered face as she looks at Carrhae.

"M-Meiara?"

"It's been a while, my love. Unfortunately, time is short, so this reunion will have to be brief. Lady Sune was kind to let me speak to you at all."

"Why is this happening?"

"Our Lady saw your sadness when you came to visit. It broke her heart to see your grief this. You found people that you love and who love you that brings joy to my heart. I love you and I savor what we had, but my time on the mortal plane has ended and you still live. It is unfair for you to save your heart for me when I can't return your love. I love you and that is why I am happy to see you pursue Strife, since she is a thing of beauty in your life. But I didn't know that you had a thing for redheads." She giggles.

"Thank you. I'm sorry that I couldn't save you."

"Don't be. I love you and if I had another life to give for you, I would give it in an instant. Our time is ending. Go and save this world, your friends, and your Strife. Goodbye my love."

As the experience comes to an end, Carrhae shares one final kiss with her lover before they depart.

When Carrhae returns to the carriage, she sees that whatever happened to her took no time at all and no one seems to notice anything, like she never left. But Carrhae feels well-rested in body and spirit. As the party approaches the Spire, Carrhae gives Strife a quick kiss. "I'd say something, but there's nothing that I haven't said already. I love you." And she'll give Strife inspiration. As she moves to exit the carriage, Carrhae gives a big hug to Zephyr and then Daewen, before turning to Mercy. "May I?" And if Mercy consents, she'll give her a hug, if not, she'll just boop her snoot.

Carrhae kisses her holy symbol of Sune and exits the carriage. As she spots one of the giant vultures, she points at it and casts Tasha's Hideous Laughter "Why was the tomato red? It saw the salad dressing!"

DC14 Wisdom Save or it laughs uncontrollably and falls to what I presume is both it and its rider's doom.

Initiative: 10

Daewen’s Initiative: 11

Initiative (+4): 20

Initiative: 3

Initiative: 5

Knight1: 3

Knight2: 11 plus two.

Initiate1: 5

Initiate2: 10

Gosh doing this on my phone blows. 

Knight1 WIS save: 4

Oof. Not THAT funny, unfortunately.

Daewen, whatever you were about to do, you trip and fall, hard, taking 2 damage, and you are prone. No action this turn.

Editing..

Knight2, Strife, Initiate2, Knight1, Carrhae, Mercy, Zeph, DaeSplat

Current initiative order. The two Knights swoop down into melee range, and the Initiates charge forth into melee as well. 

The two guards up top notice the fray and sound a horn, retreating into the tower.

Knight2 lands near Carrhae and brings his longsword down upon her beautiful self. The giant vulture squaks loudly and agressively.

Longsword Attack: 10 Damage: 7

Longsword Attack: 23 Damage: 4

The vulture he’s on strikes as well. Same initiative for simplicity.

Beak Attack: 16 Damage: 9

Talon Attack: 18 Damage: 10

Most likely all missing. Strife is up!

Strife grants Bardic Inspiration to Carrhae as a bonus action, then uses her move to retreat 30 feet. She takes out her shortbow and shoots Initiate2.

Shortbow (+6): 15, damage 7 (1d6+3)

If that hits but does not kill her foe, Strife will invoke Psychic Blades as a free action for an additional 6 (3d6) damage.

EDITING CUZ i'm dumb

The arrow hits the initiate as he comes running from the front drawbridge door, but he does not die. Your psychic blades, however, finishes the job, and he falls and dies.

The initiate lets loose an arrow at Strife:

Longbow Attack: 12 Damage: 6

Knight1 slashes at Mercy:

Longsword Attack: 7 Damage: 4
Longsword Attack: 12 Damage: 5

As does the vulture it's riding:

Beak Attack: 21 Damage: 5
Talon Attack: 7 Damage: 6

Knight2, Strife, Knight1, Carrhae, Mercy, Zeph, DaeSplat

(Before I take my turn, I have a reaction.)

HELLISH REBUKE: 10

Yelling out in frustration as that damn bird pecked her, Mercy unleashed the fires of Hell to singe its ******* wings as she leveled Shadow and Radiance at its rider and pulled both triggers.

Shadow: 21 for 8

Radiance: 17 for 6

[spoiler]Crossbow Expert: You ignore the loading property of crossbows with which you are proficient. Being within 5 ft. of a hostile creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls, and when you use the Attack action and with a one-handed weapon, you can use a bonus action to attack with a hand crossbow you are holding.[/spoiler]

"No pets allowed!" 

Carrhae takes two swings at the Giant Vulture, intending to fry it with her new longsword.

Attack: 10 Damage: 5

Fire Damage:9

Attack: 24 Damage: 8

Fire Damage:4

Heavily wounded, the vulture caws loudly and writhes in pain - until Hellish Rebuke kicked it and put it down. Is that chicken I smell for dinner? Knight1 leaps off and stays in melee range. With two mighty swings, Carrhae and her boobs take down the other vulture mount. Knight2 leaps off and stays in melee. Double chicken for dinner?!

Knight2, Strife, Knight1, Carrhae, Mercy, Zeph, DaeSplat

(Reread my character sheet. Add another d10 to the Rebuke: 5 )

"Oooh! Time to try you out!" Zephyr chirped happily as they pulled their new Tentacle Rod out.

The three tentacles stretch out to give the two remaining *****es a taste of my favorite anime! (Two go for the healthier knight, one going for the weaker)

Attack: 21 Damage: 2
Attack: 29 Damage: 5
Attack: 25 Damage: 2

And although Zephyr considered making their Spiritual Weapon a donger, they opted for another tentacle. Full anime episode here kids.

Attack: 10 Damage: 10

Daesplat uses her turn to stand back up. Quite embarrassed.

WHAK, WHAK, WHAK, WHIFF! Three hits, not bad!

CRITICAL HIT: 76
Carrhae, i'll need a DEX DC18 save to keep the weapon you're wielding in your hand. If you fail, it clatters to the ground, and falls into the gap between the tower and the bridge, falling down very deep into the canyon. (That means it's gone for now)

Strife is up!
