"Didn't Mr. Dunfell give you guys some kind of healing potion back when? Do you still have it?"

Magnus drops off zenobas since wu is here. He will attempt to run into the room and grab iodas. It may result in a back attack but magnus is willing to risk this

Magnus runs back into the room to see the back of the statue that just took down Iodás. He can see the warlock supine at the iron automation's feet. When he enters the room the statue turns, scraping its feet along the ground and takes a thunderous step towards the cleric.

Magnus bypasses the statue, but it leaves him exposed to the massive scythe which drops down and cleaves him in twain. The holy warrior drops to the floor and breathes his last.

"Magnus!! Damn it all!" Luciana shouted as the Viking took off back into the room. "Wu get Zeno upstairs!" she pleaded, rising to her feet to follow the cleric. She arrived in the end of the tunnel just in time to see him cut in half and fall to the floor. Her eyes went wide and adrenaline hit her veins. Going for her sword, her hand found only air. Then she recalled throwing it in order to save Zenobios.

"Forgive me, Artemis, I am not strong enough..." Luciana begged, tears forming at the edges of her eyes. She backed away and walked back to Wu and Zalven. "The-they're... b-both dead..." she forced out. Seeing Zenobios' prone form, Luci slapped herself in the face and picked him up in order to get him back to the inn...

Wu and Zalven follow Luciana back to the Silvery Eel where he continues his ministrations and is able to stabilize the young sailor. Annesta is able to get some broth in him as Luciana and Wu pray to there respective gods to heal the Amazon sailor.

Exhausted, you retire to The Low Boatman, a cheapish inn up dock from The Silvery Eel. Wu ministers his medicines the best he can, but he has done all he can today. You inform Kiloplo Vheez, First Mate of the Berg Breaker, of Muireach's demise and Zenobios' injuries. The sailor isn't too pleased about that, but he shrugs his shoulders and says that they are big boys and if they wanted to risk his life to make extra coin on the side of his day job who was he to judge.


The next day you wake up early. Zalven has the items in question laid out along with 300 gp worth of gems, jewelry and coins. He spends an hour communing with the æther. His pupils dilate and he points to each item in turn.

"This," he says of the armour, "is magical leather armour made out of pterydactyl hide. It provides a mild amount of extra protection beyond mundane leather."

"This," he says of the ring, "is a ring that provides the user with the ability to turn invisible for up to 20 hours one time per day."

"These," he says of the cylindrical devices, "are bombs of a forgotten age. When you pull the pin out of the slot, they will detonate in 6 seconds with an explosion of poisonous fire that, if the blast doesn't kill its victim, they will die of a wasting disease weeks later."

Zalven's eyes then roll back and he nearly collapses. You help him down to The Low Boatman where he will rest for a couple hours. He will be ready to go around lunchtime.


At the inn, Zenobios is still unconscious but no longer in a fitful delirium. Wu administers some of his shamanic powers, bringing the young Amazon to consciousness.

"You need to rest here for the day. I'll stay nearby in case you need anything."

He meets the party back at the Silvery Eel and hands Luciana 6 goodberries. "You guys go ahead, here are some of my good berries that you can use as needed. I'm going to stay here with our young friend so he doesn't do anything foolhardy. He doesn't know about Muireach yet."


Just around noon, Zalven arrives back at The Silvery Eel. At the tavern, Luciana is having a meal of clam cakes and clear chowder with a new arrival, a Half-Blood Pictish man from the town of Swampgate.

Prompt: native man old, eagle, color, realistic beautiful

 

Dathan half-pict Druid 2, ac 5, hp: 18

 

Dathan has arrived in town looking for his sister's bethrode Menos. Why did hana send him her to look for him. She could have send anyone from the village. Dathan was used to living in the mountains and out in the stars and sun. However Hanna sought him out in his grove and so when he arrived in swamp gate he heard her story. Menos wanted the perfect gift and when a seller of fine goods was said to be in this town he left. That was three days ago and he has not returned. Dathan has now arrived and while the food smells great the idea of being in a city does not thrill Dathan. He did meet this fine holy warrior woman Lucianna. Odd that in his father's customs and home being a full pict, all warriors were men. Mom did teach father about other customs and though she has been dead for over four years Dathan can still smell his moms cooking

 

Dathan finishes his chowder and says to the woman, " so thank you for the company and I hope to find Menos. What brings you here. It looks like you don't exactly reside here. "

One of our number is missing, another unfortunately was horribly killed by a giant iron statue, and a third is recovering at the inn. There has been disappearances you should join us. Zalven is recovered and we should head back down soon."

“It’s dangerous, but I think we should go back. Feels like unfinished business to me.”

Luciana had been uncharacteristically quiet after getting back to the surface. The deaths had rocked her to the core. So much death that she was unable to stop.

"Hmm?" she said in response to the conversation. Her thousand yard stare and mostly untouched food spoke volumes. "We... I..." she began but failed to find the words. A heavy sigh followed. "We stopped in the city before trying to head out to the edge of the world, somehow. Ended up stumbling into a few unrelated tasks that required heroic intervention. At least... It seemed heroic at first."

Luci's eyes tried to glaze back over until she heard Zenobios speaking. Quickly she snapped her vision to him. "Absolutely not. I barely pulled your body from there once already. Are you even able to stand yet? Didn't Wu have you on bed rest?"
