Whack whack whack! Everyone but one hit from Akuma connects! Taran kills the saber! Books assumes Akuma then targets the WI! But also it's not Akuma's turn yet and damage will be applied on her turn lmao (Sorry).

Saber tooth save: 11

Wild Incarnate save: 7

Caelius reaches out his hand and tendrils of Mabaran energy spiral towards the Wild Incarnate. The shadow spirit screech’s and rushes the beast as well.

Blight: DC 16, 33 necrotic damage or half on a success. If they are a plant, they have disadvantage and instead take 64 necrotic damage on a failed save.

Shadow Spirit claw: Attack: 18 Damage: 17 cold damage.

Kaori does some wonderful and very impressive slishy slashes, killing the saber tooth on her!

Unfortunately, it is not a plant: 14

Fire explodes from the WI's body! Can I get a DC 15 Dex ST from Vish, Akuma, and Caelius for half of 14 fire damage.

4 little icy motes appear around the WI.

Akuma 19, Saber-tooths 13, Wild Incarnate 12, Taran 6, Caelius 5, Kaori 5, Vishal 3, Shiaali 3, Elemental Motes 0

Taran, Caelius, Kaori, and Vishal are up.

Unable to dodge the fire do to being stuck in the ice Vishal sends his spiritual chakram to slice at the WI but it goes wide. Tsking he says, “Fine…..time to melt you!” As he sends out a ball of blue fire that engulfs all the enemies left, turning them to ash. 

(Rolled in Discord but used Fireball!) 

Kaaaaaboooooom! All remaining enemies dissolve into ash! Some of the ever-present vegetation is also set on fire.

Out of initiative.

Taran tries to keep one eye on the forest around them as he quickly clambers down off of the statue, rushing over to Kaori and Vishal, bandages already appearing in his hands. "I-I d-d-don't s-see anymore c-c-coming, ho-hopefully the smell of bl-blood d-doesn't at-attract more, but I-I'll dr-drag the bodies away fr-from the c-camp j-just in case." he says, checking everyone over.

(I could roll for actual healing, but I think we are about to do a Long Rest anyways?)

Vishal nods before saying, “Lets set up camp.” As he goes to smother out some of the fire he’s caused, “Same watch as last time.” 

Humdy dum dee dum: 3

Well that's lucky.

You all pass the night peacefully. It would appear that the rest of the local wildlife of the zone are leaving you alone, for now. The next day, you wake up and get ready to finish your trip out of the Tangled Verge and into Syrkarn. Once you're there, it's a day or two's travel to where the submersible is waiting.

OOC: Okay, just one Survival this time, from the navigator, who I assume will be Taran.

Taran leads the way through the Verge, trying to keep a closer eye on the shadows and leading them around the possible dens of the local predators. He didn't trust how easy this had seemed. The mission wasn't over until they were back in Adar.

Survival 21

(Nonsense Taran, everything is fine ;D)

Taran is able to expertly lead the group out of the Tangled Verge over the next several hours. With just about two hours left in the day, you finally make it out of the dense forest and into Syrkarn, the sun hitting you as you head out of the trees into the grasslands.

"W-W-we should k-k-keep m-moving b-before s-setting up c-camp." Taran says, loping back over to the group, "T-too cl-close an-and w-w-we'll j-just a-attract m-more pr-predators. I-I th-think w-we sh-should t-til s-sunset, m-maybe a b-bit after, th-then dig a f-fire p-pit. D-Don't kn-know wh-who i-is p-patrolling o-over here."

Vishal nods as he adds, “I’ll keep my bright magic use to a minimum for as well, lets keep going.” 

Kaori chirps softly, looking down at her glowing sword and then at Vishal. Slowly, she slides the sword back into its sheath to hide the light.

You travel through the plains for a few more hours before making camp. The night passes quietly, and  you all sleep very well.

The next day, as the sun rises in Syrkarn, you smell something new drifting in from the south, fragrant and spicy. There is a figure hiking across the desert—tall, wrapped up from head to toe, and carrying a huge pack on their back. The mysterious stranger is coming your way.

 Taran immediately rolls to the side, pointing his loaded crossbow at the figure. "Sh-should w-we en-engage, or r-r-run?" He asks, "I m-may b-be a-able t-to wh-whip up a sm-smoke sc-screen before th-they r-r-reach us."

Kaori's hand goes to her sword, resting on the hilt, and she cocks her head at the new figure. She clicks softly before turning her cocked head up to Vishal, looking at him questioningly.

“They look like a traveler to me. Lets see what they want first, it’s just one so we can take them or escape if we need to.” Vishal replies looking at the stranger approaching them

"A s-s-single f-foe c-can st-still be a th-threat," Taran says palming one of his flash pellets as he circles a bit to the side, "I-I'll k-keep him c-c-covered though."

He thought about hiding, but the figure had clearly seen them, and so it wouldn't likely make a difference. He still pulled the hood of his cloak up, letting the magic settle over him and make him harder to focus on.

The stranger soon closes the distance, and some 20 feet from your camp, he pulls the wrapping from his head to reveal wizened blue-tinted skin, tiny stubs for horns, and thick tusks worn with age. He slings his pack down next to him, giving you all a friendly smile. “Hello, friends. I see you found my camping spot. My name is Chantxu.”

Chantxu (just imagine the skin is blue, it's friggin impossible to find eneko art):

Lore: Chantxu is an eneko, one of the mongrel ogres of Syrkarn. They are among the primary inhabitants of the country, descended from ogres and half-giants.
