The Exploits of Misfit Company

Seeing Erazon fighting on the last of his fumes, Yvan aims to finish off the ****er after the assault of missiles!

Using familiar's help because lord knows I'll ******* miss somehow:
Attack 1: 15 Damage: 11 + Bless 3
Attack 2: 15 Damage: 16 + Bless 1

(I didn't actually use it lol im dumb but he's dead)

"AND STAY DOWN!" Yvan roars, continuously hacking at the now dead body until his rage dies out.

Erazon dies under Yvan's assault, his golden body caving in under the force of his blows. Arrak smiles now that his enemies are all dead. "Thank you. Now I can finally get out of this horrible place and move on." He fades away with a look of peace on his face. "Well, that was difficult. I suppose that we should head back to Rufus and let him know that we cleared his temple for him." You all head back to the Dancing Queen, bruised and bloodied, but alive and ready to get back to Merisia. You also feel stronger from this experience as you hit level 8.

"HA!" Kasha barked. "Watching you all fight made me so hungry. Is it time for 2nd lunch, yet?" she asked. Her stomach growled, perfect timing.

"I know, I know." she said, patting her belly. "Soon. I hope."

Alys: Since you survived the final encounter, these are the spells that you can learn from Iraza's spellbook, although you can't cast all of them at this moment. However, copying spells to your spellbook is very time-consuming, so if you wish to copy with Vastra, it will pretty much take up your entire trip.

Kasha: It's 11pm, but the ship's chef is happy to see that you're alive, so he'll cook you whatever you want for a very late second lunch.

Kasha enters the kitchen.

"Ah, here it is. Hi, Jorge!" she says. "Hoo wee i've worked up an appetite. You know that thing you make? Yeah, with the flat white round thing and it's filled with stuff like bird, or cow, and veggies? Folded like this? And, it has that white creamy yogurty thing? Oh! With that red liquid that blows up my tongue. You know? They're like..this big? Mhmm. Yes! A taco!! I'll take 5."

"Goodbye ya brave son of a *****." Barnabus had said alongside a salute as Arrak had faded away. Despite being thrown off by Kasha for a second or two there after, an ever diligent Barnabus went at least through the motion of searching the place for anything more of note; be it coin, trinkets, or more murals to possible sketch on the way.

Once back on a ship, and though tempted to follow Kasha's example, the half-orc sought out the navigator or ships captain in hopes of acquiring a few extra papers and ink. Naturally, he offers payment or services in turn. But whether his efforts turn out to be a bust or not, Barnabus sequester himself as much as Vastra and Alys might've in their copying. Their employer would likely want a documented version of their venture in some capacity, and he had enough on hand personally to set to work. Even if not, this did not dissuade the writer, but merely delayed him a few hours at best. The rest of his time is spent brainstorming and journaling the group's venture on the island, and the sad tale of Courage the Cowardly Spirit who rose to the occasion in the end.

Alys couldn't help but let out a squeal of excitement when Vastra would bring the spellbook to her attention. As tempting as it was to plop down and start studying it immediately, she knew it would take time to go through it all, even with the help from another mage. Though, there would be plenty of time on the journey back for learning. At this time she agreed with B's efforts to do one last educational sweep of the dungeon and would like to assist with the documentation of their adventure.

Alys would also complete a story recap in her own personal journal. Occasionally she'd be guilty of glancing over B's shoulders to his page and upon reading the words 'Courage the Cowardly Spirit' she'd blurt, "Sounds like a good read for our library!" Alys would smile before slinking off to catch up with Vastra for some study buddy time.

Furlong will pull Stella aside when they next have a moment.

"I am...very proud of you, my dear. That fight, with Erazon. You stood against that behemoth fearlessly. Quite an intimidating presence yet you did not waiver. Truly valiant. Good dhow, my dear."

Stella gives Furlong a smile. "Thank you, Furlong. You were incredible too." On her shoulder, Obsidian meows loudly and gives Furlong a pointed look.

Kasha: "Oh yes, I believe you're describing a taco, with beef or chicken, sour cream,and some salsa. Coming right up!" Jorge proceeds to chop up some beef, heat it up, and then place it into five soft shells before adding a spoonful of sour cream and salsa to each taco and then folding them up.

Alys: As always, Vastra appreciates your company as she goes through Iraza's spellbook and is willing to help and be helped as the two of you spend the next few days copying spells into your books.

"Ohhhh yeah." Kasha shivers. She takes a huge bite of one of the tacos and chews dreamily, as if the food was almost as good, or better, than se- "Oh man, Jorge." she said with her mouth full, "You really know how to.." she chews the last bite quickly and swallows. "..make second lunch. Hohhh.."  

Kasha hung around the kitchen finishing her food, and had a glass of whatever was available to drink, and even put her dishes away. She got groggy from such a large meal, but was very satisfied. "Time for nappy tap. So sleepy." She almost made it to her room, but not quite, she melted to the floor in the middle of the hall and promptly fell asleep.

Everyone: After a few days, you dock in the ports of Merisia and return to the headquarters of the Bountiful Venture company to speak to Rufus and claim a well-deserved reward for completing your mission. When you're led up to Rufus' office on the second floor, the halfling is pleasantly surprised to see that you all came back. "Well I'll be, you actually did it! Give me a sec and I'll get that gold ready for you. You've done a great service for the Bountiful Venture company today!"

Rinn: It's been hard for you, going about on your own for the first time in a year. You haven't run into any trouble since you left the Misfits, you're pretty good at keeping your head down and staying alert, not to mention that you've gotten pretty strong in the time you've spent traveling this year. And somehow, you found yourself in Merisia, despite your distaste for the sea. Perhaps you felt that you could start a new life here, work as a fisherman, a trader, something non-violent. Or perhaps you wanted to have some of the fruity drinks. Regardless, your thoughts still drift towards the friends you left all those weeks ago, how you wish you could've said goodbye to them in person instead of leaving them in the middle of the night. And you think that your guilt must be really getting to you, because you think that you just saw them all walk into a nearby building.

The half-orc meets the halfling's surprised look with a toothy grin. "Of course, sir. It was a pleasure to help out, er, 'side from a brief possession episode." He smiles sheepishly at Stella. "I got a written report here wait'n for ya, if on the off chance ya get somebody interested in studying the ruins more closely for posterity sake." Barnabus adds more cheerily, and then took a seat nearby to wait.

A very weary pigeon lands on Kasha's shoulder, pecking at her ear. She giggles and realizes who it is. She cocks her head as the pigeon coos and it looks like the two of them are having a very personal conversation. After a few moments, Kasha gives the pigeon an affectionate pet and says, "Good job! I'll see you and the others when we're done here, ok? And thanks for keeping an an eye on him, you did a very well!" 

She continued along with a big smile on her face. 

Rinn takes a long look at the fruity umbrella drink he's carrying, shaking his head to clear the cobwebs. "Surely not a coincidence," he mutters to himself, handing the drink to a passer-by as he moves toward the building. Pausing at the door, he steadies himself, moving in quietly and surveying the situation while stepping from the doorway to a place where he's not so obvious. He looks about to see if he truly saw his friends or if, more the likely, he's finally losing his mind.

Stella makes a face at the mention of the possession episode. Obsidian sits down on the halfling's desk and flicks his tail around his paws, in a very regal position.

A few moments later, some of Rufus' employees come into the room, carrying bags filled with gold coins. "As stated, here's your 500 gold coin reward."  "A pleasure to do business with you, Mister Rufus." Vastra says, bowing slightly. "Shall we get going, everyone? We have plenty of money to go explore the city with and I think that Dio has a few items waiting for us in Cerellia."

"Aye! Well... Yea, I s'pose dat is true. For I forget tho'. Here ya are sir. Report on our findings." Barnabus hands over the paperwork with a slight bow, and then took up a bag. "If we our explorin', we mine as well make a day of it. In fact... yea... yea, I'll catch ya'll back at the Inn, I think, with that in mind. No offense to ya'll, but I think I need to roam on my own fer a bit." Barnabus said on their way out.

Realizing also the coin might've been split wierdly among the bags, Baranabus gives up three of his gold to make things more even for the others.

(So, that's 72 gp to everyone but Barnabus and Rin, and 69 for Barnabus.)

(@All Corrected in Discord.)

Stella nods, giving Obsidian a scratch under the chin as she heads out, accepting her share of the reward from Barnabus. "See you soon, Barney. I'm headed to get some food, if anyone cares to join me."

“Food?!”
