Battle at the Gate, Rd. 5

As the chlorine gas begins to dissipate, the great bear runs in among the dead and dying and snatches up Aslaan. The bear takes the dying fighter to where Kelton and Gerland are standing, lets Aslaan to the ground, and returns to human form.

"I'll be right back!" Gerland yells, running back among the dead. With a grunt, he slings Ioriston over his shoulder, and hurries back to his comrades. "Do you think he's alive? He looks in really bad shape!"

Death save for Aslaan: [1d20] = 5
Death Saving Roll for Ioriston : [1d20] = 17
Death save for Theryis (last round): [1d20] = 1
Death save for Theryis: [1d20] = 2

Kelton doesn't hang around long enough to answer. Instead, he hefts the large egg and soars into the sky! Fifty feet in the air and he can see the two monsters battling and thrashing in the grove nearby. He estimates the combatants are about 50 yards from his companions, and from what he can tell, the wooden behemoth is winning!

"What the hell is he doing?" Gerland asks, shaking his head. "Do you have any healing? I have a few. You wanna do the honors or me?" The Lathanderian priest is already gripping his holy symbol in preparation for spellcasting.

Actions?

Stats:
Aslaan - merely dead
Gerland -
Ioriston - mostly dead
Kelton - down 17 hp
Uilon/Bear - down 21 hp
Theryis - dead as a doornail
Half-elves - all dead
Hob Leader and most of the hobgoblins - dead

Kelton quickly dives back down to his friends.

"We need to get the ninth hell outta here! And fast! It seems that giant tree thing is going to be the victor. I don't think this egg will help us much then! Dang! This thing has got to be worth a fortune!"

He will help get his friends up and moving if he can, hoping one of them has an idea about how to survive this mess.

As Gerland heals Ioriston, Uilon says a quick incantation, and a green healing light flows up into Aslaan.

Bonus action: For Aslaan Healing word cast at 2nd level: [2d4+3] = 5+3 = 8 HP.

He then rushes off to Theryis to administer first aid and try to stabilize her.

Action: if he can make it to her, he tries (not knowing she's dead) to Stabilize creature at 0 hit points, Wisdom (Medicine) check vs 10 DC: [1d20+3] = 3+3 = 6.

With the efforts of Gerland and Uilon, both Aslaan and Ioriston are at 1 hp and stable. ;)

With Kelton screaming overhead to run...what do you do?

Unable to heal Theryis and her half-elves, Uilon dashes away from the grove.

Aslaan

Amazed he is still alive (his lungs feel like they have been rinsed with acid) his first panicked thought is still: where is the egg?? Looking up at Kelton's shouting he sees it is in the man's hands. With that taken care of he scrambles up and dashes away from the grove and the fighting monsters. His eyes dart back and forth, looking for cover. As soon as one of those things wins, it will be back to killing every little mouse out in the open. He needs to find somewhere to hide. As he runs, he thinks sadly of the (alleged) Harpers who died. They deserved better. Unless they actually were imposters, in which case things turned out appropriately for the whole lot. But that woman was fairly snippy and imperious. That sounds like a Harper, all right.


The hobgoblins were blocking the bridge so can we scamper across that and lose ourselves in the town proper for safety?

The Battle at the Gate...Finale

Ioriston, given a second chance on life, decides not to waste it and takes off at a run for the gate. Once Uilon realizes he cannot save Theryis, he follows his companion as fast as he can.
Aslaan takes a few more seconds to comprehend all that has happened to him in the last few minutes, but he too runs for the gate...which is no longer blocked by Hobgoblins...live ones at least. Several dead Hobs are scattered about, most with flesh melted from the toxic fumes of the dragon.

Outside the gate, the companions continue to run, putting as much distance between them and the walls of Neverwinter as possible before they have to stop, bent over, gasping for air.

High above, Kelton watches his friends scramble for their lives, as the battle of the behemoths comes to an end. Towering over the dead dragon, the wooden beast throws back its head and roars in victory. Kelton can already see that the grove has expanded to engulf much of the River District, with green tendrils all the way toward the great crevasse.
Black Lake can barely be seen as the greenery continues to grow and enclose around it, spreading ever further.
He can see forces gathering around the bridge where they crossed over earlier in the day. Bells are ringing along the docks and other districts of the city. While the battle at the gate is over, the battle for Neverwinter is just beginning.
