Ragnar Wisdom Save: 19
Ragnar cringes for a moment at the sound of the shrieking horror before shaking it off and angling his shield upwards to illuminate the Flying Horror.
It’s too far away for his spectral hammer to reach, but he does guide it 20’ up in the air above so it will be in position if the undead monstrosity moves closer.
Still not sure of what power the Storm Lord has granted him, he does feel power welling up inside as he focuses on the hammer amulet around his neck. Without knowing why, he shouts “Styrbult” and a brilliant flash of light streaks out of his amulet heading straight for the Flying Horror.
Bonus Action: Move Spiritual Weapon 20’ closer to the Horror.

OOC: With the horror closest to Erika dead, she would move towards the other one. By closing 15 feet, that'll put her in range (60 feet) of the other Horror.

WM roll: high 30
Trixi, still surrounded by butterflies (and trying to convince herself it is not that bad - the enemy can not see her well either, right? moved the helpful tentacle closer to herself (M16, just in case, by the count it is M13, but labeled is 16). If the Horror is low enough (10ft) the tentacle strikes:
BA: Attack: 15 Damage: 8 (cold) (second Attack roll for DA: 19)
Action (same Horror): Eldritch Blast Attack: 12 Damage: 7 (force) (second Attack roll for DA: 27)
Eldritch Blast Attack: 22 Damage: 8 (force) (second Attack roll for DA: 25)

Trixi attempts to use the tentacle again but the horror is too high up, it misses.
Her first blast hits making the beast shriek in pain and lowers 10ft but it's still up; 20ft in the air above the dome. It's bloodied but still up.
The horror then attacks Trixi (disadvantage because of the swarm of butterflies) Attack: 12 w/ da 24 Damage: 8; plus pyshic damage 10 if hits
Gen-ga moves towards Vayna who nods at him crossbow drawn and aimed at the horror attacking Trixi. Looking at the bodies of Dolan, Garth, and the gnome (Wendal) the bronze dragonborn frowns. Gen-ga then uses guiding bolt 1 level against the horror Attack: 17 Damage: 15 radiant damage; misses Gen-ga growls baring their teeth at the horro

Erika, breathing heavily from the battle and release of magic, begins to move over to Vanya, stepping over the heavy plant growth. Glancing at the half-elven ranger as she does so, she says, "Areon, can you get the horses' leads? We'll at least stake them close to the dome."
She looks at Vanya. "Zira's held the dome. Lets get those wounds bound up inside, and you can take a rest." She pauses a moment. "I think you and I are even now."
Looking out to the field, she speaks softly. "I'm sorry about Garth, Dolan, and Wendel. This trip... has not gone as I expected."

Ragnar looks around quickly, not convinced there aren't more undead creatures waiting to jump out at them. But after his breathing slows, he lets the ethereal hammer vanish and makes his way towards the hut with the others.
Seeing the shape Vanya is in and the injuries Trixi and Gen-ga have sustained he quickly says "Stormherre bevilja läkning" and then moves to help stake the horses by the dome.
Casts: Prayer of Healing and Vanya, Trixi and Gen-ga regain 17 HP - those were the only three I think were hurt, but the spell can still heal another three people if Ragnar missed anyone.
Ted hurries back to the rest of the group. “Wow! That was wild! I’ve never seen anything like that before! Did you all see how I just stood my ground as it screeched at us like that?” With the enthusiasm of a puppy dog, Ted is bouncing around, checking how everyone is doing. “I’m happy to continue the watch from here guys, those of you that are hurt should rest in the bubble! I think if Ragnar and I stay on watch out here you can all rest inside it. When I’t’s Trixi and Zira’s turn I’ll just sleep outside of it so Zira can keep it up.”
Areon sees no more threats for now. Going to the horses he is sadden to find out of the remaining horses two are dead as well as one of the pack mules. All the animals looked dazed but move with Areon.
The party now has only seven horses and one mule.
Vanya nods looking at Erika and moves with her. Zira remains in the dome and as people enter looks absolutely beside herself.
"This journey is always dangerous. We lose a party member often but never...such loses," Zira trails off as Gen-ga comes to her side kneeling down and embracing Zira tightly.
"We...this area is new to us. The dangers must be greater," Gen-ga replies looking at the party. "Anyone else need healing," they ask looking at Vanya. "We...I promise we will deal with our companions remains at dawn," they add nodding at Vanya who nods back.
"It...was terrible," Vanya begins. "Dolan said I could rest but I then awoke to a struggling noise and Garth had slit Dolan and Wendel's throats. He then came for me but I managed to....to," she sighs. "His eyes were black...it wasn't him. He couldn't be him," she then says trailing off as she settles down inside the dome. "Then the monster came feasting on the corpses...I was afraid to call out. It didn't seem to notice me or the dome...I prayed it would move on...I," she pushes the sweat matted silver hair from her forehead. "Then you two came," she motions to Erika and Areon outside the dome tending the animals. "Then Dolan, Garth, and Wendel...their spirits," she adds in a shutter.
"Yes...all things that die in this land don't stay dead for long," Gen-ga says with a heavy sigh. "You are lucky to be alive," they add as Vanya nods looking at Zira who just stares off out of the dome.
"How far will your precious Institute go for their trinkets? What it enough that seven good people are dead," Vanya asks Zira.
Altima, the scouts, the scribes, and Dolan as well as Garth.
"Vanya...we all knew the risks," Gen-ga says shielding Zira with their board frame.
"This mission is cursed," Vanya replies her tone full of acid. "None of us will survive under her leadership," the dark elf declares gesturing at Zira.
Zira remain silent still stunned it seems by the night's events.

"You should not speak so loosely about curses," Ragnar says. "You tempt the gods with that talk. Best they ignore us completely rather than have one bored god be amused at the idea of a curse."
He then nods over at Ted and gets ready to sit watch.
OOC: I'll wait for others to check in then we'll wrap up. There's room in the dome for everyone now FYI. Trixi will be exited in the am of the next game day.

The swarm around Trixi disappears but the plant growth caused by Areon remains.
