Seeing FIonn being pinned down by a giant wolf spider, Velda immediately spins around and is ready to deliver a two-handed blow against this creature. As she is about to deliver her strike though, she notices the familiar mismatched eyes, and strikes the ground in front of the spider instead.

"Nova? Girl, you gotta let me know when you do that! I nearly killed you just then!"

Convinced that Fionn is in good... mandibles?... Velda heads back to Cadence. Hearing her suggest that she interrogate the redbrand, she smiles gleefully: "It'd be a pleasure!" Velda audibly cracks her knuckles, before pointing her sword at the ruffian's chest.

"I don't respond well to threats. What's your deal?"

As she's speaking, she inhales a small fly, which sends her into a fit of coughing, and her threat comes out in a croaky voice that leads to a hearty chuckle from Cadence.

The leader stifles a chuckle himself. “If that’s the best you got. You all aren’t getting anything from me.”

Velda socks him square across the jaw with the pommel of her sword.

"I can do this all day. Don't think there's gonna be flies around every time."

Intimidation again?: 12 and 8 for Cadence's help

Giant wolf spider Nova would chatter in response to Velda, not that she would understand it. When I know, I’d be happy to tell you. Natalie did this! She’d wait a titch longer to see if they needed any assistance with intimidating the Redbrand. Mind you, their responses to her didn’t really make her appear to be much of a threat any more. With a spider leg, Nova will point to her eyes, point to the Rebrand, point to her eyes, and point to him again. I’m watching you...

The spiders form will eventually shift, revealing the half elf in her humanoid form. She’d be kneeling at Fionn’s side, inspecting his wounds. Nova would go to reach for her healing kit. It wasn’t there. Her hand found nothing but empty space. Her eyes would dart in panic and she’d start frantically patting herself down. What do I do!? She’d look back to Fionn. He was the one who’s supposed to use fancy words to make them feel better, to make pain go away. The Druid would find herself looking up at the sky, staring up at the stars. For a moment she’d get a sense of calm. It was was brief as a breeze in the wind, but it was enough.

Nova was reminded of a lullaby that she’d hear in her sleep. That was when she’d dream about cuddling the softest, nicest unicorn. That normally happened during the worst of times, when she’d be hurt or sick. Thinking about the comfort that brought her, the half-elf would close her eyes and she’d start to hum a soft melody under her breath. And as she sang, it was as if the stars began to manifest in shapes at Nova’s side, eventually taking form of a spectral Unicorn.

She’ll inhale a breath to continue her melody with a bit more volume and confidence in her tune as she’d place her hand over the most severe of Fionn’s wounds. A soft glow in her palms would emanate, beginning to mend his flesh. The unicorn will dip its head at the same time before stomping its hoof, sending a pulse of healing energy wash over them.

BA: Totemic Spirit: Unicorn
As a bonus action, you can magically summon a spirit to a point you can see within 60 ft. that lasts for 1 minute (or until you're incapacitated). The spirit creates an aura in a 30-ft. radius around that point and can be moved up to 60 ft. as a bonus action. The spirit's aura effect depends on its type: Bear, Hawk, Unicorn
Unicorn Spirit. The unicorn spirit lends its protection to those nearby. You and your allies gain advantage on all ability checks made to detect creatures in the spirit’s aura. In addition, if you cast a spell using a spell slot that restores hit points to any creature inside or outside the aura, each creature of your choice in the aura also regains hit points equal to your druid level.

Casting: Cure Wounds Healing: 8

Unicorn spirits heals + 2 to everyone (Fionn, Cadence and Velda.) 

Cadence sheaths one blade, keeping the other pointed at the man. “Where do you sleep? It’ll be in the dirt if you don’t say a peep.”  (She gives velda help intimidating. )

Fionns eyes open,   there you are darlin  what kept you?

The ruffian leader spits a mouthful of blood and a couple teeth out. Wiping his mouth “That’s better now isn’t it” He gives a nod of his head to the east “Up that ways. But after this ... I imagine they’ll be coming for you. The Redbrands own this town.”

"We'll see about that!" Velda grips the point of her sword, and carves a bloody V on the struggling man's forehead. Then, with a nod to Cadence, she lets him get up before giving him a sharp blow with the flat of her blade across the back of his legs.

"Go now, warn them that I'll be coming for them too!"

Nova would peak open an eye. Not that she knew what she was expecting, but she wasn't expecting Fionn to be wide eyed staring at her. She'd flinch in surprise. Darling? "Me? Kept me?" She'd look around. Seeing the unicorn, she'd gasp, tumbling back onto her butt. "Is this who you talk too in the sky?" The half elf would point to the unicorn. She'd lean in to look closer at the spectral unicorn, who would in turn look at her too. It felt oftly familiar. "Pretty..." As if remembering the hurt Fionn, she'd look back to him. "Are you okay?" She'd find a bruise and poke it.

I am now,   and looking at the Unicorn   it very well could be to be honest hard to say whats in the sky

he pulls a flask,  checks it   sigs then pulls out the silvered one and drinks a gulp

then looks at the flask again,    i dont remember filling this one

Cadence watches the mutilated man run off. She absently glances back to check on the spider and Fionn.  Seeing Nova she rolls her eyes a bit, "Ug, but I'm daft. The music knew it was her, I need to improve my craft." 

She casts a couple spells to clean the blood from her swords and her clothing before sheathing them.  She turns back to Fionn and Nova and says, "We may not get a good sleep tonight. Velda gave the red cloak back there quite a fright. There's a chance they come looking for a fight. Maybe it best we keep a watch, alright?"  She sighs heavily, "Whew, what a day, I could get some rest if I might. Do we just leave the bodies, not a great sight." 

Ahh a rest would be a good thing for me im thinking  

Fionn rises to his feet   (invoke duplicity)

Fionn rises to his feet and heads towards Velda

Nova would watch is disbelief when Fionn would carry on like nothing. She'd back away and put her hands on her hips to give him space to go wandering off. "You're welcome!" She'd scrunch her nose. "Continue your party brawl if you must!" The half elf would notice the unicorn didn't follow Fionn and stayed with her. Her eyes would jump to all of them. Gert wasn't here. And that upset her too. Was he not invited either? Her ears would droop slightly. "I'm going back." Nova would turn to head back to the inn, unicorn in toe.

She had the full intention of checking in on Gert. The druid figured she'd be the last person he'd want to see, especially at this time of night, but she now needed to know that he was okay and was at least informed of what happened as soon as possible. If it was her, she'd want someone to do that. So she would. Even if it annoyed him. Nova would knock repeatedly on the door. She wasn't obnoxiously loud, but frequent. Should he not open the door, the half elf would make herself comfortable against his door. She'd go to asleep there. That's where she'd keep watch.

Fionn looks at her,  why are you shouting, i think ill head back as well

as the second Fionn approaches Velda and stares

The surviving ruffian quickly retreats East towards the house on the hill. Saying nothing but casting furtive glances over his shoulder to see if you are going to be following him. 

Perception: 18 

Despite your repeated knocking Gert doesn’t come to the door. Pressing your ear to the door, you hear only the crackling of a fire. As you take up your vigil of sitting outside his door, you get faint hints at a metallic scent in the air as sleep takes you for the evening. 

What are the rest of you doing? What order are you taking watch? If that’s what you would like to do?

Cadence does a double take, looking at two Fionn's. She turns her ear, listening the music, then shrugs to herself and turns away.  She does a quick search of the bodies, relieving them of any cash, or any particularly nice gear. Then she heads back to the Inn, dismissing her illusion when she's outside the bar.  Calling for Pine she waits near the entrance for him to arrive.  "Pine, please watch for ruffians or others approaching the Inn. Watch from the rooftop. Alert me if you see anything."  Nodding as the agile creature hops up and begins padding to a good spot to watch, she pushes open the door and heads up to her room. Magic dances across her fingers as she speaks magical words in rhyme, ensuring each spot of blood is removed from her cloak before hanging it upon the wall hook. Her bag is placed against the door, with the staff leaning there as well. She pulls a large bear trap out of her bag and drags it under the window before setting it with a grinding click.  She places a shirt over it.  Smiling, she sits upon the bed.  She places both of her elven blades on either side of her and closes her eyes and begins to meditate. 

Fionn will head to the in and just go up to his room without a word

Fionn2 follows Fionn 1 and does the same  

Velda is going to pick up the three bodies and walking up to the house indicated, dumping them on the doorstep, all with V's carved on their foreheads too. She's proud, it's one of the few letters she knows.

Then, she wipes her sword on one of the cloaks and heads back to the inn.

"I'm sorry Nova, I didn't mean to exclude you. It's just, I lose myself sometimes, when I fight... Are you okay though? That spider... did you do that on purpose? And what are you doing now?"

Velda was blushing slightly. She realised that she might have been a little too stand-offish with her halfbreed friend, and now she found herself gushing over the events. Well, gushing for her anyway.
