!!Lost Mine of Phandelver Campaign Thread!!

OCC:

Round 6: Athletics 16 to break grapple.

OCC: Does Uncanny Dodge work if your grappled?

Also, I think Nyx would be free for Round Seven.

Unless she gets regrouped she's going to bonus action disengage and move 20 feet up the tunnel to the east, then fire her hand crossbow at it.

Attack: 16 Damage: 7

Sneak Attack 17

Lyngheid swore, " Can you just hurry up and die you stupid snake thing!"

BA Spiritual Weapon:  Attack: 9 Damage: 9

Ireniana will continue to hit the Snake thing closest to her. 

Attack: 14 Damage: 8

Attack: 15 Damage: 10

Umbriel grunts "Got you... right where I want you..." and casts Sword Burst - DC 15 Dex save, or take 6 force damage from the shadowy blades that briefly circle around him. 

Baeshra gestures quickly behind him, hoping to help take that one down so the party can focus on this one next.

Wither and Bloom 2 necrotic, half on a DC 15 con save. And Umbriel can roll a Hit Die and add +4 to regain that much HP.

Round 7 Continued:

Nyx frees herself and makes some room between her and the Fire Thing.

Baeshra evokes a spell, Con Save: 15, and Umbriel can roll a Hit Die and add +4.

Lyngheid swings her Mace and connects, taking 8 fire damage, but misses with her Spiritual Weapon.

The Dwarves and Gnomes move along.

Whistler: TBD

Umbriel creates a whirl of spectral blades around him, Dex Save: 16. 

Round 8:

Ireniana lands one blow, taking 7 fire damage.

The Rear Fire Thing stabs at Baeshra: 27 and hits, doing 7 piercing and 4 fire damage.  It swings it's tail at Whistler: 15 who dodges out of the way.

The other Fire Thing tries to stab Lyngheid: 8, doing 13 piercing damage and 5 fire damage, and smacks it's tail into Umbriel again, doing 9 bludgeoning damage and 8 fire damage.

Summary:
- Lyngheid takes 6 fire damage, then 11 piercing and 5 more fire damage for 22 total.
- Ireniana takes 10 fire damage.
- Baeshra takes 14 piercing and 3 fire damage.
- Umbriel gets to roll 1 hit die and add +4 to it thanks to Baeshra, which will save him from going unconscious as he takes 11 bludgeoning and 5 fire damage.

The party is up!  The rear Fire Thing would have been dead if Baeshra's spell hadn't rolled two 1's! 

Lyngheid called out to the Mother of Dwarves to aid her friends and brought her mace down on the fire snake.

Lightbringer ( Divine): Attack: 19 Damage: 11

BA Mass Healing Word: 15- Lyngheid, Ireniana, Baeshra, Umbriel, Nyx, Whistler.

She'll then attack the creature at the rear.

As Baeshra and Lyngheid's healing magic washes over him, Umbriel casts Sword Burst again, doing 7 force damage to the creature holding him on a failed save.

Seeing the Fire Thing infront of her fall to Whistler's blade, Nyx starts to try and undo some of the dwarves.

OCC: Theives Tools 13

Moving over to the dwarf above Whistler.

Baeshra hesitates again, then shakes his head as he begins to grow in size and fur transforming into a cave bear and savaging the creature in front of him.

Wildshape AC with tattoo: 15

Bite: Attack: 25 Damage: 8
Claw: Attack: 20 Damage: 11

Nyx holds a lock pick action until the Fire Thing is slain.

Baeshra shifts into a cave bear against his better judgement, and launches a bite attack on the Fire Thing.  His first attack lands, killing the Fire Thing and Baeshra bear takes 10 fire damage as it dies.

Lyngheid heals most of the party, but her attack misses.

Whistler swings furiously at the dead creature.

Umbriel casts another Swirling Swords, Dex Save: 12

Ireniana comes in and kills the remaining Fire Thing with her first attack, taking 10 fire damage.

 Summary:
- Baeshra takes 7 fire damage.
- Ireniana takes 8 fire damage.

All 3 fire things are dead and we're out of initiative.

Nyx frees the first of the dwraves and he wearily nods his thanks.  "Can ya free the rest of us, lass?  And does anyone have any food and water?  We're about dead from exhaustion."

He looks around.  "There should be another group of us that the last Salamander was in charge of."

And as he says this, a smaller group of 4 more dwarves and gnomes shuffles into the tunnel from the main shaft.  At the rear is a familiar looking goblin. 

Droop lifts his head and his eyes brighten when he sees everyone.  "There you are!  Droop woke up and no one was around.  Thought you were captured!  Droop to the rescue!  But the evil fire lizards caught poor Droop and I had to dig rocks!  Very tired!  And hungry.  And thirsty.  Does anyone have any horse meat?"

With the smoke still lingering from her wounds, Ireniana runs over and hugs Droop, almost crushing him before putting him down. "I don't have horse meat, but I have rations." She gives him a couple. 

Lyngheid shakes her head at Droops survival yet again, " I'm beginning to wonder how my folk won all those wars if other goblins are as hard to kill as you, Droop.", she chuckled.

She set to work helping Nyx free the prisoners.

Umbriel will hand out his 2 rations to the prisoners that need them, and then he'll poke at the Salamanders bodies to see if there's anything useful on them. Investigation: 14 

"WHISTLER! HATES! FIRE! BITEY! THING!"

Baeshra moves to the far end of the corridor to keep a watch out for anything else coming.

Perception: 8

Droop takes the rations and eagerly gobbles them down.   The rest of the gnomes and dwarves look on hungrily as the party works on freeing them.  It takes a while, but with help, Nyx is able to pick the locks on all of the shackles in about 30 minutes.

Once they are free:

"Ah-hem, thank you for freeing us.  I don't suppose you have any more food, or at least water?  Also, you should know that there are more slaves in the areas below here, working on refining ore and in the forge."

Baeshra, you don't notice anything else coming.

Umbriel, you are about to give up searching the Salamanders.  They aren't wearing any articles of clothing, and they don't have any pouches or otherwise to hold items, then you notice that one of them has a rather large diamond stitched to the inside of it's wrist (500 GP worth diamond, that you can cut out).

What's the plan?  Talk to the gnomes and dwarves?  Continue on?  Short Rest?  Droop looks exhausted and doesn't have any of his equipment.
