Garet- 16
Shalana/Herman-14
Pelucidus/Zeltheris- 8
Banzo- 7
Brocc- 2
Banzo sends darts of energy into the huge being..
"This thing is too much for us." Brocc calls out, seeing many of his companions go down under the creature's onslaught. he has his spider mount move away from the creature. As it does so Brocc leans out of his saddle and touches Garet sending healing energies into him.
Garet rouses slowly
Herman darts in scooping up Shalana.
Zeltheris calls out to the creature, infusing his voice with his magic, "Flee!"
The huge being hesitated for a moment and then flowed into the stone vanishing from sight. He then backs up another 30 feet and calls out to the others, "Perhaps we should flee as well?"
As the group climbed Banzo spread strange webs across the stairs behind them.....
Garet the blackness beginning to close in starts to slip away before he feels an overwhelming sense of warmth and energy bring him back from the brink.
Looking up he sees Brocc astride his spider mount his hand outstretched sending the healing energy in him.
Garet stands regains his breath and disengaged from the creature before making his way up the stairs marvelling at the magics of Zeltheris and Banzo.
Second Wind 11
"Back to the book chamber." Brocc encourages the others. "We need a place to settle in and rest." Considering the state of the book chamber though... "As it is clear that thing was in the book room before, maybe we retreat back to that thrown room, with the magical thrown in it, and rest there..." Brocc suggests.
"Aye I agree" says Garet then casting a worried eye across to Shalana and speaks to Herman.
"Are they stable" Garet croaked his own injuries troubling him slightly but more concerned about the beating the monk took and not wanting them to expire before they got back to the relative safety of the throne room.
(Is anyone still unconscious?)
(Brocc has more cure wounds he can cast if anyone is still unconscious, or doing death saves. He would move over and do any healing required ont he way out of the crystal chamber.)
Brocc heals Shalana, heartened to see the plates pop back into place as the energies flow into the artificial form.
Heading back to the throne room they pass through the library, down the corridor of doors they have checked, and the chamber with the collapsed roof ( again they note the two other corridors leading away in other directions.). They venture back through the double doors and along the corridor of unchecked doors before entering into the throne room.
Banzo attempts to shift the throne to block the left-most entrance but it is part of the floor and cannot be shifted without breaking it loose....and being stone it is likely the demon-earth-thing can likely move through it without issue regardless.
Waiting some minutes in the throne room the right-most doorway stands unexplored and the earth they broke through to enter here is undisturbed.
There are no sounds of pursuit....but they are unsure if there would be if it is passing through stone after them....
( Brocc casts another Cure Wounds on Shalana to stabilise, feel free to roll.)
Cure wounds: 11
(OOC: DM, does tiny hut have a floor? I.E. if Brocc uses his wand of tiny hut, would it be safe from this monster just coming up from below?)
"Thank you for purchasing Model ... Please state ...," Shalana buzzes before switching off again and a short while later, comes back on.
"Hello, friends."
Whistler - Lost Mines of Phandelver [Lvl 8 Barbarian] | Cinta Yuliani Lestari - My Island Home [Lvl 3 Fighter] | Shalana - Allansia Wildlands [Lvl 4 Monk] | Roger Durant - Storm King's Thunder [Lvl 8 Monster Hunter] | Rotthran - The Waterdeep Heist [Lvl 5 Thief]
Zeltheris begins to play a very soft, soothing melody as everyone catches their breath, helping them recover.
Song of Rest: Anyone who uses a Hit Die to regain HP regains an additional 2.
( it doesn't have a floor but it would provide some minor protection regardless as its dimensions are smaller than your foes.)
"I'll bring forth our hut." Brocc says, pulling out the wand he recieved so long ago it seems now. He waits until everyone is close to him, then activates it, a dome-shaped area around them forming.
( Ok. Three watches over a long rest.
Random Rolls of no real importance: 94 76 77 14 43 46 14 81 )
Garet stands his confidence a little shaken from the encounter, and the Barons voice eminating from his rapier ringing in his ears calling him unworthy and a total failure.
"I'll take first watch my bones still ache a little from that Demons maw, that will keep me alert and my mind is still racing I fear it will take me time to rest tonight."
( I'm going to assign Shalana to second watch and Herman to third)
About an hour into Garets watch he hears a low metallic pounding from somewhere deep within the complex as if immense fists were being beaten against steel plate, and then sometime later an immense shadow seemed to momentarily rear up within the corridor outside but then was gone almost as quickly.
Shalanas watch passed quietly as they repaired themselves though with occasional far off sounds....
Hermans watch was almost over when the immense bulk of the crystalline demon suddenly filled the doorway, the creature flowing through the stone wall surrounding it, it was utterly silent and its dull angry eyes swept the room, seemingly not noticing the 'hut' and then just as quickly it was gone again without a sound.
"Well, it is awake." Brocc says the next morning when reports of the night's watches are made. "What do you guys suggest now?" he glances around the tiny hut, knowing it would be fading shortly. "We cannot stay in this hut for much longer, and that thing seems to travel where and how it wishes throughout this place." He sighs. "I would like to scout the place further, but, if we face that crystal creature again, I don't know if we'll make it out of here..."
Did Herman understand where the monster went?
( Back into the stone)
Listening to Brocc's concerns, Garet nods. "I agree that the things is a match for us now but we ran it mighty close." Garets sighs before continuing.
"We have now poked the beast and who knows how far it could pursue us, imagine it let loose on Chalice." Garet winces at the thought.
"No I still believe the key to ending this curse lies here, and we will have our vengeance and if we are engaged before we are ready we hit and we run until we can end this fell beast once and for all."
Garets hand moves subconsciously to his rapier as he envisions the thought of a final strike to the demon the words of the Baron ringing in his ears we will have Vengenance, he hears echoing in his mind.
