Wes CON Save (Concentration): 11
An explosion rocks the docks, centered on Wes, an eruption of fire that disintegrates a significant amount of the wood that the gnome stands upon - fortunate for him, as it extinguishes the fire that wisps all around him and the Hivemind. He splashes into the water, his wand still pointing at a flawed spot in the massive lattice of gems. Around this spot, a spider web of cracks has originated, spreading throughout its circumference. Hox ascends in flight, and his dagger splashes into the water, missing the Hivemind. Two of the nearby death slaadi are taken by this eruption as well, and though the fire doesn't bother them much, the docks do not carry the same protection, and they plunge into the depths as well. Now back to their senses as the Hivemind's red glow fully returns, they swim angrily toward the sputtering wizard.
The battle is on again in full, the momentary pause over as the slaadi turn feral and chaotic. Gruun trades a hit for a series of claws and bites; the raging barbarian and his counterpart matching each other in downright fury. Another slaad dances away from Killian's blade only to have Rycider's massive ape hand clobber it on the skull, driving it to a knee. Aradurk and Tanakir each exchange blows with a third, and the other two on the docks snarl from behind their companions, waiting for an opening to strike in the crowded area.
Round 10 Order: Players <===== Death Slaadi
Placement: Eight death slaadi are at the docks, in range of all. Rycider and Killian are engaged in combat with one death slaad. Gruun is engaged in melee combat with one death slaad. Aradurk and Tanakir is engaged in melee combat with one death slaad. Wes is in the water, holding the Hivemind.
Tracking: Aradurk is hasted for 6 seconds. Wes has an arcane hand for 6 seconds. Tanakir's opponent is hexed. Gruun has a shield of faith.

The death slaad fighting Killian and Rycider is grievously wounded. The death slaad fighting Gruun is badly wounded. The death slaad fighting Aradurk and Tanakir is lightly wounded. Three other death slaadi are lightly wounded. The Hivemind is lightly wounded, but grievously wounded at its weak point.

(Arcane Hand dropped, Polymorph is up)
Wes continues to swim away from the group as not to hurt them. Desperate to destroy the hive mind, he tells Petunia to land on Rycider’s shoulder. He presses the wand further into the cracked portion of the gem. He casts another fireball
Tanakir turns towards the two Slaadi approaching Wes, sending threads of mesmerizing color over them (DC 15 Wis save, dropping concentration on Hex). He then points at Grunn, healing the bugbear for 15 (Healing Hands).

Ricky-Ape, joyous that she hit something, beats her chest. If her current adversary still has fight left she will continue her pummelling, otherwise she will pick another target and descend on it with the reckless abandon only a creature with this much upper body strength can have.
The city that has been rocked by explosions feels another. Wes, desperate to destroy this gem that has foiled all attempts thus far, creates another huge fireball at point blank range. The heat envelopes the wizard, and is felt by all in the vicinity.
The slaadi, each and every one of them, drop mid-swing and mid-lunge, crumpling before your feet. Suddenly the frenzied sounds of combat, the feral snarls and efforts, are replaced by the lapping waves and creaking boats of the harbor, and the labored breathing of friendly forces.
The intensity of the heat of the blast was so great that the water that Wes treaded moments ago has caught fire itself. There is no sign of the gnome - for a moment, as he splashes up a safe distance away. His hair is singed and mostly gone, but held aloft in his hand is the remnants of the Hivemind, now only dust.
As the confusion of the moment settles, Ritska crouches on the ground, energy spent. Roccar leans upon his greataxe, wiping sweat from his brow and flicking it to the ground. Bohmar steps over a fallen slaad and drops his hammer on its head, spattering the area with goo and drawing a massive cheer from the surrounding kobolds.
Ser Mary cradles the body of Doramor, on an area of the docks that has now become an island, its edges still flickering with the flames from more than one fireball.
Tanakir puts away his club, wiping his hands. He turns to Killian, "I fear it is not done, even with this. Denorian is still out there, preparing against a threat that we have no understanding of. We will not have much time to savor this victory, if we can even call it that."
Hox floats on down towards the kobolds, sort of showing off his wings to his flightless brethren. He pulls off a pose of with his shortbow as he floats above Bohmar.
Gruun continues to hammer the collapsed Slaadi for a few moments before realizing it is not longer fighting back, he looks for another opponent before seeing all of them collapsed. It takes a few deep breaths to calm himself and then begins cleaning his axe and bandaging his wounds. He then positions himself somewhere between Hox and Killian.

Wes CON Save (Concentration): 4
Hox's display draws another raucous cheer from the kobolds and a hearty chuckle from Bohmar. The kobold union parts suddenly as one pushes its way forward. "Hox?" it speaks, looking upward. "You are urd?" Hox recognizes Snug, the lone survivor of a troop of kobolds he fought alongside during the journey that set him along this path.
Roccar moves to Aradurk, helping him to his feet. Rycider's form returns, shrinking from the huge ape that thrashed much of the area. "Wes. Are you still alive over there?" he calls out.
"You share my fear," Ritska calls out to Tanakir. "There is much to discuss. Denorian rushing off may have doomed us all, but I believe we still have a chance." The tiefling begins to walk toward Tanakir and Killian, but stops at the sound of Doramor's laughter.
There on their dock island, shifting in the waves, Ser Mary's hand glows with divine magic. "The Hivemind is destroyed, Doramor. Your slaad army is dead. You can still make this right. Where are the rest of the staffs?"
The halfling laughs maniacally, touching a ring on his hand, similar to those worn by his Ser Mary imposters. "Ser Mary...the Bravest," he coughs sarcastically. The ring begins to glow a fierce, vibrant white.
"It is true, Denorian killed my parents, not you. But he killed them trying to free them. You...you just left them there. You were...never a hero," he says, finishing with a chuckle. Then he fades into ash, carried away by the windy sea.
Ser Mary still kneels, holding the armor of her former companion.
Rycider, seeing the exchange between Ser Mary and the ghostly Doramor, feels it's not the time to approach. She will see to the wounded, casting Healing Word and applying aid where she feels it's needed.

Petunia flies over befitting disappearing to her pocket plane. Wes sits up and shouts back Roccar “Its going to take more than a couple of my own spells to take me out.” Chuckling a bit of the temporary relief.
At the sight of Denorisn and Mary, he makes his way over to Roccar and whisper to him “She’s going to need looked over for a while. Protected too, I don’t think that’s the last we’ll see of him.”
Arcana check to discern what happened with the ring. 14
Killian watches the exchange between Ser Mary and whatever version of Doramor that was impassively. Keeping her thoughts to herself, she turns and makes her way off the docks to land, gathering with Gruun and Hox. She does not heal anyone on the way. No longer in battle, her shoulders are slumped and her demeanor tired. She again wipes her long hair our of her face, reaching back to coil it together and out of her way.

"Yes! Hox is Urd now. Was stuck to floor, like all but Hox travel and gather a hoard. And Hox grew wings like dragon! We all can be like dragon, and have shiny hoards and mighty strength! The toads are the first step, next we must gather hoard!" Hox exclaims

Killian surveys the wreckage, and the bodies. Carefully wiping her sword, she sheathes it, and turns to face Ser Mary, her face set stoically.

Wes lies there on the shore as the waves lap against his body. Either unconscious or content to just lie there.
Petunia begins to nip gently at the face of Rycider frantically in between breaks of hastily flying and hopping around.
Tanakir puts away his club, wiping his hands. He turns to Killian, "I fear it is not done, even with this. Denorian is still out there, preparing against a threat that we have no understanding of. We will not have much time to savor this victory, if we can even call it that."
Killian is confused. Isn’t that Doramor lying there in Ser Mary’s arms? Killian is pretty sure she killed Doramor when he was unconscious...

(Tanakir's puppet master had a big brain fart and got Denorian confused with Doramor, one of whom is very dead, the other, not so much)
Aradurk slides to his knees, surveying the carnage and unable to move.
