Harmony was glad that her spell had worked as the wyvern was dazed and then fell, taking damage and having hit it with her arrow too. But then she was shocked when it flew towards and landed next to her, first being hit by it's claws. Then she got hit with the stinger, grazed but then screamed as she felt the poison course through her and fell to her knees. In reaction to that, she would have unconsciously cast Hellish Rebuke on the Wyvern. She was confused and surprised when a fey nymph appeared out of nowhere in front of her and kissed her on the cheek, feeling a little healing magic flow through her before hearing Aisha and nodding. Then Harmony had heard Jove, quickly thinking as she cast Darkness on the Wyvern. Thinking that Jove's advice would work with the Darkness up, Harmony would run as far away from the wyvern towards Aisha and through her healing spirit if possible.
Reaction: Hellish Rebuke - DEX Save 15 20 fire damage
Action: Darkness on the Wyvern positioned so that Jove and the Wyvern are in it but not her
Movement: 30 feet towards Aisha and through her healing spirit if possible

Since Harmony cast darkness, Jove will go with his second option. Posted below for convenience with rolls not edited from last time. (The SB hit being a critical!). I realized looking back I rolled the incorrect damage for the SB. So I will fix it after the pasting. Use that damage instead. _____________________________________________________________
He will call out to Abraxas or Harmony. "Throw up some darkness somehow! I can see through it and guide you away!" He casts shadow blade] and runs towards the wyvern, telling Harmony and Aisha "Get out now! It won't be able to swipe at you if it can't see". He casts eldritch blast as he runs up to about 20 feet way, hitting the wyvern on its other side with two beams As he casts these spells, the runes on his arms burst with a light and is quickly overshadowed by darkness that wreath about his body.
EB1: 21 dmg 7 force EB2: 18 dmg 5 force
Once he gets within 20 feet, he will throw the shadow blade at its other side, hopefully it will not be able to figure out where it is being hit from.
OOC: Aisha, I absolutely love your flavor for healing spirit. It makes me super invested when people describe their spells' flavor in detail like that. Nice work!
The wyvern's stinger raises again to finish its prey, rushing toward Harmony as the bard stretches her hand out defensively, lashing the creature with fire. The beast is met with a hail of return fire; Jove slams two blasts into its chest, arrows from Aisha and Olive strike its head while T'savi tears into its legs with her wicked claws. The wyvern's legs buckle, its stinger swinging wide as it frantically tries to fend off the panther, and Abraxas finishes it off, sending a ray of cold energy into its maw, freezing its jaw open, and its head falls to the ground, lifeless.
OOC: Because the creature was dead before Harmony's action this round, darkness was not used.

After taking a look around, Aisha saw that the only one Truly Injured had been Harmony. Which she was glad about. Not that she had been injured but that no one else had. The healing nymph stayed with Harmony, attempting to cure her wounds with soft kisses planted at random wherever an injury was prevalent. (rolling 6 of the 9 heals on her: 28) The spirit, seeing Harmony still wasn't quite healthy, remained until she dissappeared in a puff of fey green energy. (rolling 3 more: 11) the spirit managing to heal her exactly to full.
Harmony feels the wound beneath her torn clothing begin to heal, and the bite of the poison coursing through her body subsides. When the nymph disappears, Harmony feels as if the wyvern had never struck her in the first place.
Abraxas look into the distance, and though he sees something at a great distance flitting through the sky, there does not appear to be anything close by.
OOC: The wyvern interrupted your rest. Does Abraxas want to begin a forced march toward the north?
"Perhaps resting would give a bit of time for Harmony to bandage her wounds. I am not the one hurt, but I think an hour or so would do. How do you feel about that, Harmony?"
Harmony was so thankful as the wyvern had been defeated, seeing the little nymph staying with her. She giggled at all the kisses and now feeling all better like she was before the wyvern had shown up. "Thank you very much Aisha." she said to her with a smile but then pouted at seeing her clothing torn up though from the attack. She had heard Abraxas and Jove ask about if they should rest for long or not, hearing Olive and Aisha. "We really should get some sleep. We need all of our strength, especially if we're going to be attacked by more random creatures like that again on the way to where we need to go." Harmony had then said back to them.
"Let's rest," Abraxas says. "I can take the first watch." He is tempted to go exploring the Wyvern's body. Perhaps it contains interesting items? Instead he opens his copy of Tides of the Saltmarsh: A Study of Aquatic Hauntings. While he watches, he will glance at it.

Harmony resumes her watch as the party returns to their slumber. Whether by sheer chance or by the nearby corpse of a wyvern deterring them, no other predators interrupt your sleep, and Vandyr's morning brings a slightly brighter green hue to the sky, and even more warmth.
As you venture north for the next few hours, Aisha notes a change in the landscape; barely noticeable to the naked eye, the rock that covers Vandyr contains a grey moss-like vegetation that becomes more prevalent the further you travel. Almost five hours after you begun your travel for the day, you see your first sign of habitation.
A river of lava has cut a chasm through this area, running as far as the eye can see in each direction. You can hear the hiss and pop of the lava working its way through the chasm, about a hundred feet below you, from a great distance away. On the opposite side of the "river", a wall has been built from wood, spanning almost 1200 feet of the chasm before curving away. A lone bridge spans the 200-foot-wide chasm, and provides simple entry through this wall. A small, crude gatehouse has been built on your side of the bridge, but appears currently uninhabited.

Before having left... Aisha would try to gauge the weight of the Wyverns' head... should a return trip occur... she might bring it back as part of the 'hunt' since they missed their chance at the Hydras the last time... and would take one of her daggers to it's neck to test just how 'tough' it might be to slice off.... for future reference. Once she decided it if might be possible or not to move, she would then move to go with the group once they were ready to do so. She would keep an eye out for edible plants as they went along. While her eyes watched the plants, her ears were listening for danger passively. (Survival for mobile-food collection: 21)
When the group finally reaches the massive ... hot.. river... Aisha would see the wooden walls and other features of civilization, and then, when looking to everyone else ask... Does this look like the place from your drrreams?
Aisha would shake her head and sigh just a bit Ignyore the specifics.. Does that village place... look like what you would expect from your drream? And yes, please send Ciaphon to scout. Aisha is stealthy but cannyot fly...

Aisha commands her Nymph to flit to those who seem wounded, and stay near the most grievously wounded.
(however DM wants to handle that, would be 9 'ticks' of healing for anyone who touched her over the next minute)

Abraxas watches the skies, looking for more of these creatures: 8.
If he sees no signs of hostile creatures, he will continue in the direction he feels drawn.
If he sees hostiles, he will point them out to the others and suggest they attack them at range.
