Taking the hit by the slashes of the Grell's tentacles and its beak, Ree'lyn quick mind reacted fast making the creature being engulfed in flames.

Keeping the magic outlining the Grell was another thing, though.

Constitution saving throw to maintain your concentration. The DC equals 10 or half the damage you take, whichever number is higher. 

Constitution saving throw (DC 10) : 12

The irony of it was the poison used by the creature. Also one of Ree'lyn's favorite resources, now rushing through his system.

Constitution saving throw for paralyzing poison (DC 11): 18

Yet again drawing from his mystical abilities, the Drow Warlock wills his weapon to be summoned in his left hand, as strains of glass entwine themselves into the shape of an intricate glass rapier of delicate details, yet as deadly as a steel weapon could be.

Rapier (pact weapon) with advantage: 21 for 11 

Quinn begins to cheer the group on!

"Were almost through with these ********!"

And plays a victory tune on pan flute! 25

Doing so, granting bardic to [whoever ends up posting next!]

As day sixteen came to a close, we tended to our wounded.

DAY SEVENTEEN
ENCOUNTERS: 7, 6

Luckily, we didn't encounter anything on day seventeen to once again test our combat abilities that day. We took the time to relax, and knew that we were only three days out to Gracklstugh.

Duke walks over to Jezzika. "Declaration: It is good to see you intact. When the Grell paralyzed you with its venom, that is when I came to the conclusion that I needed to increase my output to expedite the end of combat. Observation: You are no more welcome here in the Underdark than any other member of this group. Inquiry: What do you plan on doing once we have completed our objective? Will you accompany the rest of us to the surface world?"

Ree'lyn had to clean himself before being tended to his wounds, when he took the chance approaching Phineas - "If you want to study these creatures, now is the best time. Because you and I are going to take their parts to be sold at the next outpost.

As they make camp for the night, Ash will light the campfire with her burst of flame before moving to sit by it, the ice on her body melting without a trace of water. She then investigates the blade in her hand curiously and quietly, not sure she liked the rapier look. She thought back to some of the different weapons she saw on adventurers in her youth, trying to decide which she preferred. After some thought, the rapier dissapeared into soft smoke for now. Ash now sat by the fire in thought before she glanced over at Quinn, moving to get up and head over to sit beside him, quietly at first before she offered him a smile. "Nice performance. It was a great victory fanfare eh?"

Phineas plops down next to Ash, wiping the brain guts from his quarterstaff while whistling softly a gnomish battle tune, which unfortunately sounds a lot like K-Pop...but gnomes, ya know. He nods in agreement at Ash's comment, stopping to say, "Yes, the fanfare was a nice touch." 

Quinn to ash

"Aha! Yes, ive been practicing! Glad it paid off. You know, that reminds me. I havent been around a group like this for as long as we have been together. Im starting to really like all of you. *Quinn bumps her with his elbow with a smile* and you know, im starting to see some real friends emerge in the group. 

What would you call all of us? Like if someone had asked your partys name at a fancy inn.id like to think of us as one unit. We are starting to work really well together. 

Quinn makes eye contact with Ree, and nods in agreement.

Thank you for the complement. Would you like to try the pan? 

*Quinn offers ash the pan flute to play*

Amara provides healing to all who need it before they move on. She spends very little time on her map that night, electing instead to write in her journal for a long while.

Ash smiles at Phineas and Quinn before offering Quinn a smile. "A group name? I'm... not entirely sure. That's something we should decided together I suppose? I've never been in an adventuring party before. If that is what you'd call this." She gestures to the party with a slight smile. When Quinn offers the flute to her, she laughs a little and takes it. "I'm... more of a dancer... I know... shocking... but I'm decently well when I'm not drunk. But I suppose I could try?"

Performance: 14

Quinn grits his teeth and smiles,

Mmmmm, i think you should practice.

Quinn presti-lyres yet again

Play along with me, 25
