Mercwri you slice into the Drow with vicious efficiency spraying the ground around you with blood. Once and then twice you cut into it. It is looking in a bad way.
Freak on deaths door as you are you just dont have the power or speed to drive the axe home and it smashes impotently to the metal deck with a clang.
Desperation fills the Drows eyes now as it senses that it is surrounded and running out of options. Once more it focuses on the amulet which blooms a bright crimson and you hear a loud crack as the chained egg in the centre of the room begins to split.
"No!" Mender cries for the other room, falling to his knees. His timely dispel having taken its toll on his already wounded frame. "Stop him!" Bright white light begins to seep from the cracks in the egg. Mercwri and Hitticus you fathom that the elf is using the amulet as a focus to destroy the egg and as an arcane practitioner Hitticus you get the sense that the egg might be the source of power for the ship. The thought of sinking literally like a rock into the ocean of molten lava fills you with momentary panic.
As the amulet fades once more the Drow snarls and lashes out first at you Freak then at you Randrak.

Randrak manages to block the swing from the drow with his axes, defending himself. Being unaware of the egg cracking but hearing Mender's cries to stop the drow, he continues his attacks focused on the drow.

Randrak seeing Freak go down you swing wildly at the Drow and it stumbles back toward the egg, barely evading your onslaught. You did not draw blood but the attack gave Uldran the space he needed to move in and perform some light healing.
Torvin closes his eyes and holds both palms outstretched toward the wounded Freak. Chanting his holy sacraments a bright glow emanates from his hands and is matched by a glowing nimbus around Freak,
Freak you are healed by Torvins holy word for 4 health.

Freak comes back to consciousness with a yell, looking around in panic. He calms down when he sees familiar faces and the Drow, and he gets up to attack him again. "Looks like we're not done yet!"
Mercwri you leap forward both blades raised to plunge into the Drow. It turns managing to knock one blow aside only to have the other pierce its chest and drive down into its abdomen. Its eyes widen in sudden shock, blood begins to seep from its mouth. You watch as anger and pain flicker in its eyes waiting for the moment of death but then for the second time this evening you are treated instead to a shower of blood and gore as Freak comes tearing in from behind axe raised and removes the Drows head but inches from your upturned face. On reflection, it tastes better than goblin...
The headless corpse drops to its knees... Mender limps forward toward the egg his eyes filled with horror... there is a flash of light and the egg starts to give off a high pitched keening sound... a sound of something in pain... the ship groans around you and it suddenly starts to feel very hot down here...
"The amulet!" Mender is screaming, "Give me the gods damned amulet." he stands next to egg, one arm outstretched toward Salvas' amulet which lies glowing now in a pool of Drow blood. The other hand he has placed on the egg and you all see it is glowing with a brilliant white light."
Hitticus will rush forward, grab the amulet and place it over mender's neck. But he won't let go because no one is too be trusted. "If it doesn't get better immediately this trinket becomes a garrotte."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Mender nods his thanks and returns his attention to the egg, placing both hands on it now. The light around the egg grows brighter and brighter and Hitticus you feel heat emanating from the amulet. You take 3 fire damage.
A familiar voice in your mind starts to wail, "Let go of it! It will kill us both!" but to your horror you find that you hands will not move. You hear the pleading in your mind as the amulet seems to be drawing power from you.
Waves of energy blast out around the room passing through you all and you feel the presence of the lifeforce within that egg. Instinctively you all know that it is living and conscious and those of you who have touched the dragons mind recognise her spirit as it infuses you all. You all stay frozen to the spot for what seems like hours but can only be mere seconds. Then suddenly it is over.
Mender slumps to the ground exhausted the egg whole once more and the amulet dull. Hitticus you are thrown backward completely drained and your hand badly burned. [Add one point of exhaustion and remove all spell and ability slots until your next long rest]. All of you feel the lingering effects of the dragons energy within...
You realize that all your life you have been coasting along as if you were in a dream. Suddenly, facing the trials of the last few days, you have come alive.
YOU ARE ALL NOW LEVEL 2, PLEASE UPDATE YOUR CHARACTER SHEETS
Milestone Award : Every level I will be choosing and rewarding a player for their contribution to that chapter of the campaign. I think we would all agree that Randrak has provided a great deal of entertainment for all of us. From the opening gambit with the goblins on the docks, the brawl with the naked captain and his recent intrusion of the ship privy. For all this and more our resident hot head is receiving a homebrew feat as follows :
Doorsbane :After years of breaking down doors in the line of duty you have an instinct for how and where to kick, smash or batter. You may use this feat to roll advantage when breaking down any door. However, should you roll a Natural 20 you are over zealous with your charge and will automatically dash 10ft into the room regardless of what is on the other side.
Congratulations Randrak the feat has been added to your character sheet.
Uldran just slumps to the ground. Sitting on the floor and thinking over what he just saw, the joy he feels because Moradin and Mother Nature granted himself and Torvin the power to save the barbarian (Huh, still need to figure that ones name) washes over him. Knowing this work is important and that he was put here, with these folk for a reason makes him feel a little less exhausted. Deep down he knows that the power being granted to him comes with a sacrifice and right now that means giving up some freedom and joining civilization.
*breathes out deeply* "Drow, my family has been fighting them for generations. I should have known they would be involved in this plot."
Mender gives you a wry smile Hitticus, "Thank you." then turning to you Randrak, "They were trying to steal the ship, or sink it. Gods know which."
He gently lifts the amulet, "This is the key to accessing the dragon egg. It's a closely guarded secret."
"And one that I would ask you all to keep!" ...the sounds of Captain Blackfire descending the ladder causes you all to turn. She looks exhausted and her skin is still pale and drawn from the effects of the poison. She walks over to look down at the headless corpse and spits, then looking over to you Mercwri she barks a laugh,
“Aye, a bit o’ water and a lot o’soap would not be amiss,” Mercwri nods in agreement. “So too would be knowing how that thing got aboard and how it knew about the egg! Crucified Carrion Crawlers! That was close, musta had at least one hair turn white.”

Blackfire frowns down at the body. "I suspect they came aboard with the goblins. Salvas confirmed those vials as invisibility potions, before..." she chokes up as she mentions the dead Rune Shapers name and kicks the corpse with a sudden fury.
"Bastards! The whole damn attack was a distraction to get these filthy things on board." she takes a deep breath and looks around the room then at you all, "You all survived then? Impressive."
