Shadowthorn's Princes of the Apocalypse

(Tyde, roll a dexterity check for Alistair to retrieve the dagger.  Kethra and Tyde are up)

Alistair isn't quite able to retrieve the dagger, but the thing seems to ignore him as he flies away.

(Tyde and Kethra are up)

Kethra nods, then circles around and lets Allistair land on her shoulder as a perch, her circling around giving Alistair a clear line of escape...and a clear line of sight to throw a javelin.

Javelin to-hit: 15 Damage: 6

She circles back around to get half cover from Xanranzan and Tyde, one hand helping the owl stay in place.

"It's OK, Allistair. It's my fault for um, putting owl my eggs in one basket...heh."

(Will update tomorrow.  Might be sparse after that for the first week, new semester of college starting up.)

Marros eldritch: 8 Damage: 11

The creature is hit by yet another barrage of attacks, but refuses to go down still.

It attempts to carve into Xan once more . . .

Attack: 23 Damage: 10

Attack: 20 Damage: 8

(Everyone is up) 

Rubin's attacks...

Attack: 11 Damage: 10
Attack: 17 Damage: 5

Xanranzan continues trying to block or parry the attacks of the creature to little avail. Cut up as he was, Xan just wipes some of the blood from his forehead and says a few words in primordial to pump up his spirits, before then lashing out with his shark toothed sword. If after he still missed, he mutter to himself, "Shoot. Naw. My form can't be AS bad as she said."

Action: Attack w/ Saw-Toothed Blade.
To Hit: 18 For: 14 nonmagical slashing damage.

Bonus Action: Casting Healing Word at 1st level on Xan and restoring 7 Hit points. 

(Yeah, January is always tough! Even more with how weird it's been for the past couple of years. Cuz I am not feeling it too. Praying that everything goes well for you!)

Kethra lets Allistair fly off as she focuses on picking up speed to circle around again like before, and throw another javelin like before. 

Javelin to-hit: 18

Damage: 9

Action: Attack w/ Saw-Toothed Blade.
To Hit: 25 For: 14 nonmagical slashing damage.

Seeing Xanranzan's critical hit, Kethra gives him a thumbs up when she enters his vision from behind their semi-visible enemy. 

"Good form, Cobbler!"

There was no hesitation when she spoke, but right after saying that, Kethra averts her blue eyes away and her face gets a little red before speeding up and disappearing from sight.

The white-haired girl at first looked up and smiled, struck by the snowy owl's sudden and adorbs enthusiasm.

But as the owl only continues to get louder, Kethra skids to a stop and starts to get a bit more concerned.

"Ummm...I don't speak owl but if you see more enemies, give us a hoot with how many you see? If you think we should leave, give us another screech?"

Alistair is still unsuccessful with his mission, but the constant barrage of attacks seem to be adding up.

Marros: 15 Damage: 7

(Miscounted)

The creature finally falls to the ground.  You catch a brief glimpse of a translucent looking corpse before it just dissolves into the air.

"A rest sounds good to me." Rubin says, stepping in to join the others. "And, yes, I find invisibility in a fight quite advantageous myself, which is why I prefer to fight in the dark instead of these lighted halls." He sighs as he takes a seat. Glancing around though he says, "Are we sure this is a good place to rest though? Should we fall back to the guardhouse with the Kenku we fought or is this safe enough do you think?"

Kethra took Reszur back from Allistair and gave him a lil pat on the head. She cleaned off the blade, replaced it back in its sheath, and whistled, impressed with its workmanship. 

"I would love to have you as a sword one day."

"Are we sure this is a good place to rest though? Should we fall back to the guardhouse with the Kenku we fought or is this safe enough do you think?"

"Yeah, the Kenku tower sounds good. Unless we can bar the door, I'd rather not sleep in a place where we got the jump on the people who were staying here."

With all the thrown javelins gathered up in her arms Kethra posits, "I wonder what they were doing here anyway?"

Perception: 6 (or -3 if you want investigation)

Edit: LOL

Xanranzan not only smiled, but the citrine toned veins in Xan's "skin" glowed a little at the compliment from Kethra. Although he appeared confused a second after with her speeding away after, he pretty quickly shrugged it off and looked in aweat his blade until talk turned to rest. "Considering how important that one guy seemed to be before he got his head 'spoded, I wouldn't recommend staying in this room, secured doors or not. So, definitely Kenku guard house aughta work." He affirmed then cocked his head to the side a bit. "Ya good, Kethra? Look like ya swayed there fer a bit. I got one more, uh, "pep talk" in me that aughta help if ya need it? Or, I can give ya a piggy back?" He asks nonchalantly.

Kethra first nodded...

Next, she looked touched. "Yes, I'd appreciate that a lot!"

"Or, I can give ya a piggy back?" He asks nonchalantly. 

...but as soon as he said this, she half-laughed/held back a snort at Xanranzan's forwardness. She appeared to think for a moment and smiled.

"Sure, but you have to make dragon sounds and zooming sounds."

Xanranzan goes for nodding in agreement to lofting a brow. "That's an oddly specific request, but... eh, why not? I s'pose ya earned it by this point." He smirked. "Oh and uh... Good on ya, back there. WIthout'cha, I don't think we would've managed quite as well." He adds both as encourage, as well as subtly laced his words with a bit of magic to help restore some of her strength(7 Hp back to Kethra). 

He then sheathes his blades and knelt down so she could climb up, then secure her legs as he rose up again. "Rest of ya'll ready?" He asks of Tyde and Rubin. Just as soon as they gave they 'Ok', he happily took off at a steady pace, trying his best not to sound like a dying cat or some kind grinding stone in his attempt to fulfill Keth's request on the way back.

Performance: 14.

(What do you plan on doing after resting?  Are you going back to check the upstairs area of that room, or are you retreating back to the surface?)

Kethra couldn't help but fangirl a little at finally hearing Allistair's voice.

"I mean, if all that big fuss was about wanted was a rat I'm here to help you out! but there's no way I'm touching one of those with my hands."

She brandished a javelin to show off a little only to stop and tilt her head. 

"Wait, was the rat you saw bigger than you?"

(We had originally agreed to reset back to the surface until you told us this, but after that nat 1 it looks like we're gonna go back to the surface -_-;;)

(I forget why we are going back to the surface. Rubin would wish to finish this place out. He figures we likely have taken out one of the bigger threats in the area now, so just push through and get this done with. It would be one of the first places we had fully investigated.)
