Into the Hool

[Rex]

Fahima

Continues to run towards L1 and Gordansk.

[GreyWolfVT]

Roan watching the 'calvary' rushing off to aid their group prophet decides to end the threats before they awaken having a change of mind after watching everyone else's actions, he takes it upon himself to start dispatching the sleepers in the best and fastest manner available.

Zan

Zan says "Thank you, Sai for the healing" and make sure he recovers the box. He will then make his way to tie up one of the sleeping lizard men.

[GreyWolfVT]

Roan stops seeing Zan wants to tie the sleepers up. He instead helps tie them up.

[Monsieur Rose]

Cassius

The archer rushes to engage, hoping to interpose himself between L1's blade and anyone else.

If he gets there in time:
Longsword 1 +1/+4 vs undead (17): [1d20+4]=12+4=16
Longsword 1 Damage (sm): [1d8+8]=8+8=16 (L): [1d12+8]=11+8=19

The Calvary Arrives!

While Zan and Roan tie up the sleeping lizard men, the other companions charge the hill to help Gordansk; Vilana and Sai stand guard as the two do their rope work.
Fighting alone now, L1 jabs his spear in the gut of the man next to the doom priest. The man burbles something which comes out of is mouth as blood bubbles and sinks to his knees, head bowed.
With renewed energy and grateful to be alive, Gordansk brings his scythe around and down, slicing the lizard man nearly in half with a powerful swing!
"Ah! The cavalry cometh! Did I not prophesy so!" he declares as Fahima crests the ridge; Cassius is right behind her. But they are not needed for there are no more lizard men to fight!
The man burbles something else and then falls over in the mud, his entrails seeping out between his fingers...

[Rex]

Fahima

Fahima will rush to the man and try and stop him from bleeding out.

"Not my strong area, we need a healing spell."

[hedgeknight]

The man grabs Fahima's hand, trying to hold on. When she looks at his face, his eyes are wide open as if in shock. He mouths something she can't hear; his eyes are dark brown flecked with gold.

[Rex]

Fahima

She squeezes his hand back tightly, "Hold on just a little longer, be strong."

[Spearmint]

Gordansk

"I will take tour confession my Son. May the Raven Queen have mercy on your wretched soul as the Valkyries come to carry your spirit to the afterlife and the crows gather as carrion to feast upon your body."

He comforts the dying man, Caw returning to his shoulder eyeing a bit of gut bursting intestine as one might a tasty, wriggling earth worm.

If the Queen is merciful ... the man might yet live.

Gordansk casts Cure Light Wounds: [1d8]=8

[GreyWolfVT]

Roan seeing the last lizardman drop that was still fighting stands guarding the tied up sleeping ones. "So what is tha plan now, eh? What we gonna do with these tied up lizardfolk?"

[Monsieur Rose]

Cassius

He nods at Gordansk when he finally reaches them. "You found friends. Come, let's go back to regroup with the others."

If he makes it back to the bound lizardmen, he takes a moment to clean up and assess. "We need to shelter. Many of us are wounded, and I believe we are low on healing. Can anyone talk to these guys and understand where we are?"

[Darklin2]

Sai

Will use healing skills on the downed man.

[1d20]=16 Healing Check Made it. [1d3]=1 Healing Prof

Any others that are injured gather round. I have 3 healing spells left so they need to go to the worst off.

[Rex]

Fahima

"I think I am currently the worst off among us."

Currently at 9hp.

[gurusql]

Zan

Seeing that everyone is stable for the moment, will try to wake the prisoner Lizardman while his Comprehend Lizard Man spell is still active.

"Which way to the realm of Sakatha, the enemy Lizard King? Answer truthfully and live, lie and you will die."

[Darklin2]

Sai

Cast Cure Moderate Wounds on Fahima.

[1d10+3]=6+3=9 Cure Moderate Wounds

And a Cure light Wounds on the injured man,

[1d8+3]=1+3=4 Cure Light Wounds

[Rex]

Fahima

"Thank you Sai, I am already feeling much better."

She is now at 18/21

Lizard Talk

While Fahima pleads for the man to hang on, Gordansk kneels beside him, ready to take his last confession. Cassius arrives as Gordansk calls on the Raven Queen for healing. The hands of the priest glow a deep purple hue and the man's eyes flutter open and he gasps and coughs up blood, rolling over on his side.
The man pushes himself into a sitting position, covered in his own blood, his eyes blinking rapidly as he tries to focus.

As the man gets his bearings, Cassisus suggests heading back to the others to regroup and rest. Helping the man down the trail, the three companions arrive in time to hear Zan hissing and clacking his mouth, similar to what they've heard come from the lizard men they've encountered in the Hool.
The lizard men flick their yellow reptilian eyes to the Elf, but there is no way to determine what they are thinking. Vilana suddenly kicks one of them in the back and lays her sword against its throat. Another hisses and snaps its teeth looking up the hill where the others have just come from.
Zan:

Sakatha hides in a hole in the hill. The Hool now belongs to Aulicus!

"What's it saying?" Vilana asks Zan who still has mud smeared across his face.

The others arrive and Sai begins to dispense healing, first to Fahima and then to the wounded man.
The man thanks him and leans against a tree, clearly exhausted.
"You...might as well kill them," he says in a hoarse voice. "If you don't, they'll return with three times more than what you've already seen."

[GreyWolfVT]

Roan "That's advice I can get behind. I was bout ta do tha dirty work earlier till I saw someone else tieing one up." the dwarf chimes in having prepared to kill them when they were sleepin earlier.

[Rex]

Fahima

"They have clearly shown themselves to be our enemy and to not listen to reason. I am fine with that. It looks like we may have to go in, dragon or not."
