“My words” | ‘My thoughts’ | My actions . . .
The battlefield grows quiet as Gragonis falls and the remaining mercs run off. Merituuli breathes deeply, letting the tempestuous magic fade from the long shell he carries, and takes a moment to survey the area. His new allies had all survived, Hunni's close call notwithstanding. Coltan was getting to work tending to the wounded militia that remained, Cudgel had regained consciousness and had her hands on a turncoat merc, and everyone was convening with Mayor Raven. He finds the militiaman with the broken leg and helps them gain their footing on the way back to Vogler. "I wanted to commend you for your bravery in protecting Hunni when she was downed by that mad horse. Ispin would've been proud, I'm sure. What's your name, friend?"
On the path back to Vogler, Merituuli finds himself lost in thought. What was the aim of these turncoat mercenaries? Were they here to cause as much chaos as possible? What connection did they have to Ispin, if any? Was any of this related to the return of Takhisis? He breathes in deeply to calm his racing mind, letting the breath out slowly and steadily. Abbuku, I could really use your guidance. If the gods truly are returning... could you send a bit of help my way?
As if in response to his internal plea, a swift breeze passes over the area, rustling the leaves of a tall oak nearby. Looking up in the boughs, Merituuli sees a rather curious sight - an osprey staring down at him, its head cocked slightly as if studying the sea elf. With a skree, the hawk swoops down and perches itself on Merituuli's shoulder, continuing to stare at him. Grinning, Merituuli says, "Well, I suppose that's as much a sign as any. I suppose you're a new friend, then? I think I'll call you... Kalasääski. That seems fitting."

Dealing 5 slashing damage to the net (AC 10) also frees the creature without harming it, ending the effect and destroying the net.

Favored Foe. When you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can call on your mystical bond with nature to mark the target as your favored enemy for 1 minute or until you lose your concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell).
The first time on each of your turns that you hit the favored enemy and deal damage to it, including when you mark it, you can increase that damage by 1d4.
You can use this feature to mark a favored enemy a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
This feature’s extra damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class: to 1d6 at 6th level and to 1d8 at 14th level.
