Storm King's Thunder

Seviari nocks an arrow and shoots the orc war chief point-blank: Attack: 14 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. Bless: 2

The war chief warded off the arrow with the blade of his huge axe.

See above, Flint is now moving as far as he can towards Ink, 25' speed, without provoking aoo

// sorry, can't zoom rn, is that circle in front of Flint an orc or a guard? If it's an orc, flint will stop within melee range of it. //

 // OOC  Orc chieftain is the red spot heading towards your position needing to pass through the grease (it doesn't require concentration so it should have remained despite Ink going unconscious), perhaps the better tactic is to wait for him to come to you and maybe fall prone in the grease granting you advantage? Just a thought. //

 // too late now :) //

// you have it right away, flint is in melee range of the chieftan, that way if he decides to fight more maybe he'll  hit flint which is at full health rather than ink, if he decides to run instead flint might get aoo  plus a chance at hitting him in the grease. Got all my bases covered :) //

Flint is now clear of the grease, having jumped clear of it and landing 5 feet from the orc Chief, who is currently surrounded by booming energy.

Marav reluctantly puts away his swords in favor of his long bow, telling the orc chief "Why have you chosen to die this day? Why here?"

The last remaining orc disengages from Rip and Solace and runs north towards Inn, but is filled with crossbow bolts and arrows. He staggers forward two more steps before collapsing. The only live orcs are now the ones swimming south, downriver.

// You're out of initiative order now and free to take a short rest. Solace has 10 hit points to heal and will do so willingly for anyone in need. //

Marav is at 1hp still.

The chief's body falls, and the necklace that he wore under his armor spilled onto the ground along with his blood. The necklace was lined with several severed, pointed ears.

Marav looks a lot better after the short rest.

//Used 2 hit dice to heal up//

Once he can no longer see the invaders, Ink returns to the village, helps heal who he can through his basic triage training, takes a short rest himself (using both hit die to recover and arcane recovery to gain one spell slot back) and helps the other guards see to it that their fallen are properly tended to. While suggesting that the orcs and other enemies be burnt in a mass Pyre.

//Time to search the bodies.//

Flint spends his rest tending to Kaelen and performing last rights in a brief ceremony which involves a tankard of ale and a drinking song loud enough for her soul to hear.  He then brings a tankard to Marav and says quietly:  "These guards held their own today, might be ye owe one 'o them an apology.  Make it a loud one so's she can hear ye."

Then louder:  "Solace, Rip, we never got ta the talk o' what ta do about gettin' this town back on it's feet.  Got'ny ideas?"

// Once you've taken care of things around town and are ready to head out in search of the villagers (if that is  still indeed the plan), you can all level up to Level 3. //

Solace surveys the damage for long time before speaking up. "This town is in need of stability. I think," she says, "that I will stay on and help get things under control, until the Lords Alliance can sort things out. I'm sure Lady Nandar had an heir, or at least a next of kin. But these people need leadership in the meantime.

"Not to mention that the guards have been stretched impossibly thin. They'll need one of us to stay to ensure that they can hold the fort against any more incursions. Seems like a daily occurrence here!"

"Aye lass, it's a good plan an' yer the right one fer the job I say, wouldn't'ya agree Rip?  Now there's the matter o' settlin' up on the town's losses.  Ye'll need coin ta rebuild an' we collected some o' the townsfolk's property from the goblins, an' there's the matter o' these gems.  I can't speak fer the rest o' the group but I can speak fer meself, the fifth part o' all we found here be yers ta do with as ye will."  He hands 3 of the gems to Solace and offers the other two to Rip and Seviari.  (those 3 would be the gems given to Flint, Jorji and Solace)

"Alright lads, we goin' after those villagers 'er tendin' to the bodies?  Seems we're a little worse fer wear after that fight, can the townsfolk hold another day?  Beedo!  what was yer "boss" gonna do with the folk o' this town?"
