Michael's hefty blow and words of encouragement slash the craud cleanly through, splitting it in half, and restore Torinn's vitality. The paladin looks ready to fight once more.

One of the remaining impalers attempts to claw at Sureiya twice, but the ranger swiftly dodges the blows. The craud scuttles across the deck even as it misses. The king reels back and slams its claw into the ranger, catching him just as he dodges the impaler's blow, and scores a solid hit. The half-orc looks as though he has barely begun to fight, however, and the last impaler takes this as a sign to attack the warlord instead. One of its claws is parried by the warlord's shield, but it slashes through with the second. The brilliance of the light shining off the king's reflective carapace nearly lures Myn to its grasp, but the warlord's shouts help keep him in the right of mind.

Things are looking up, though the psionic shaman is still bleeding out.

Michael uses inspiring word, which allows Torinn to spend a healing surge and regain 25 hit points.
Michael's warlord's strike hits craud crusher 3 for 26 damage, kills it.
Craud impaler 3 uses claw frenzy, but its claw misses Sureiya twice. It uses scuttle to shift 4 squares.
Craud king's claw hits Sureiya for 14 damage. Sureiya gains 5 temporary HP from his racial trait.
Craud king's angler's lure misses Myn.
Craud impaler 2 uses claw frenzy, and its claw misses Michael once, and hits Michael once for 5 damage.
Bernkastel takes ongoing 5 damage.

Shift to P-10

The shaman's spirit companion vanishes, infusing her nearby allies with fiery energy, and granting "Bernkastel" a fiery boon as well. A blast of scorching sand also hits the craud king, leaving it vulnerable to further flame attacks.

Gourmert steps away from the fray and cowers, saying, "J-just tell me when it be over!"

Bernkastel's scorching sands deals 6 fire damage to the craud king, and it becomes vulnerable 5 fire. Myn, Bernkastel, Sureiya, and Torinn can choose to deal fire damage with their attacks until the end of Bernkastel's next turn.

Minor action: Set hunter quarry on the king
Standard action: Double strike against the king (using fire damage) http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2995514/ (that should be 15 damage + other 5 from the fire weakness)

The half-orc readies his blades for the king, then slashes with a fiery enchantment, searing the king once and missing once. This draws the king's blood, which reacts with its shiny exterior in a strange way--a strange light reflects off the surface, which must serve as some sort of signal to the other crauds, for both of them immediately lash out with their claws at the nearest adversary. Sureiya manages to dodge the attack, but Michael is now badly wounded after the impaler just barely pierces his chainmail.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume Sureiya chooses to deal fire damage with these attacks.
Sureiya's twin strike hits the craud king once for 20 fire damage, which bloodies it.
When the craud king becomes bloodied, it triggers for the king! Each craud within 5 squares can shift 4 squares, ending this movement closer to the king, and make a basic attack as a free action.
Craud impaler 2 hits Michael with claw for 7 damage (it would have missed, if not for the craud king's blood in the water aura with grants allies a +2 bonus to attack rolls against bloodied enemies).
Craud impaler 3 misses Sureiya with claw.

The efforts to have his bleeding stopped seemingly in vain, Myn finds solace in the fact that he will die in the comfort of his amiable shadows and warm, pleasant aura.

Tentatively stopping initiative, though you still may want to try and do something about Myn's bleeding wound.

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2999704/

The warlock seems to have stopped bleeding. With everybody seemingly okay, Torinn sighs in relief and allows himself to sit down for a brief reprieve.

take a short rest

With Myn's bleeding stopped, it appears the battle is over.

Feel free to take a short rest at this point. However, keep in mind I may not grant an extended rest for a while, even if days pass. This is a conscious decision on my part to separate game mechanics and time passing to allow for more challenging adventuring days.

The captain nods at you, and bows in thanks, saying, "Thank goodness for ya adventurers, no tellin' what would've happened had ya not been around."

Gourmert pokes one of the dead crauds with his spork-like instrument, then nods, satisfied that it's dead. "Ugh, smells awful. Ah wonder if these things be good eatin'? Can't imagine so, wit' tha smell."

To help everyone recover from the battle a bit faster, Michael sheaths his sword and plants his standard near the middle of the ship.


Plant Battle Standard of healing around P-10 or something
Take short rest, spend 1 healing surge

After seeing the half-elf magically stop bleeding, the shaman wonders if he really ran out of blood.

Use Prestidigitation to clean up the bloody group, then take a short rest to spend one surge.

Feeling a bit more relaxed, Sureiya sits and rests for a while.
Take a short rest and spend two healing surges

Resolving to be less liberal with his blood in the future, Myn rests and attempts to resupply his stores.

Take a short rest, spend two healing surges.

The adventurers take a breather to restore their strength after the warlock's wound clots (seriously, magically stop bleeding, who's ever heard of such a thing). The captain calls a few deckhands from below deck to help dump the craud bodies overboard, and Gourmert seems turned off enough by the smell of the beasts to not object.

The day passes, and you are all treated to a rather pleasant, if spartan meal with the sailors, which includes some spiced bread, crab, and a hearty chowder. The merchants are apparently dining elsewhere. The sailors work out a rotation with you for the night sailing, so that some of you will stay on deck while the others rest.

The night passes without incident as well, and then another, until about five days total pass, and in the mid-morning of the fifth day you find yourself approaching a bustling seaside city. This must be Waterdeep.

You all gain the benefit of a short rest. If you want to post anything you've done in the meantime during the journey, I'll give a brief pause to do so.

As the boat get near to the city, the orc spend some time thinking about how quickly things have changed; He is on a quest with some adventurers he barely know and they need to avoid a war between two empires. That's a lot of stress for an inexperienced ranger as him, and even worse, he is traveling with people he doesn't feel uncomfortable with, that's a whole new feeling for him.

At some point after the fight, Torinn realizes something was odd about that battle. Where did his old abilities and powers go? Where did these new ones he instinctively knew about come from? Were his prayers somehow answered?

...Speaking of new abilities replacing the old, Torinn walks over to where Bernkastel was resting and inquired, "I'd never seen you fend off enemies with those abilities before. When did you come by such powers??"

>>2401
The shaman, who had been practicing with a mage hand and some conjured objects, stops to think about the paladin's question... I've used these abilities all the time, right?
She looks to her spirit companion, but it's looking away, apparently preoccupied.

"Which powers could you mean?"

>>2402
"Well, there was the one that scattered those creatures like they'd been rearranged on a game board, the one where... Your companion, whose name I do not know, disappeared and granted vigor to Sureiya so that he could attack, and that blast of blazing sand. You didn't have the ability to use those before, did you?"

Torinn wasn't sure why he couldn't remember scripture as well as he used to, either. Bahamut giveth and Bahamut taketh away?

Sureiya, listening to their conversation decide to say something as well.
"Well ... there was one time in which your spirit endowed my blades with an amazing heat. I didn't know you two could do something like that."

>>2403
>>2404
"Well, I believe I could always do similar things, but some evocations have been manifesting differently... I wonder if it's the gloves."
She looks down to her gloves, and conjures a small cube into the floating mage hand.

>>2407
Torinn scratches his head in confusion. Maybe it was that simple, since they'd both taken new equipment.

"Maybe that's all it is, then."

>>2408
The shaman nods in response... though it is a little strange that an item of arcane magic could affect a primal evocation. She looks to said companion again, but finds no answers.

Oh well, it's probably nothing.

The Warlord wasn't expecting to reach Waterdeep so fast, but that fighting the other day must have ruined his sense of time or something. The meal that the sailors treated them to was a lot better than the stuff that the inn had, even if it was seafood, something he didn't normally liked. He gives his regards to them if him and the party are to depart from the ship soon.
