Always Ascending

[Cha save: 15+1+1. Pass!]

"Huh you, you ich! Geh ah oh hy heh!" Retiaria snarled, twirling her trident as she sprang to her feet. With an angry yell, she thrust it at the gnoll's still-exposed crotch.

[Hit: 20+4= crit, woo!
Damage: 1+6+4= 11]

[Roselli]

"Yes! Go Red! Next time hit her even harder!" Gwyn shouts feeling some momentum building and giving Red Bardic Inspiration!

 She takes another swing at another goblin attacking her. Hoping for it to land.

(Attack (8 or 5)+4=12)
(Damage 2+2=4)
(Thanks Ordos!  )

[Ordos]

((Remember, you have advantage on attack rolls against anything hit with the Faerie Fire!))

[Alice]

As red thrusts into the gnoll she lets out another howl as she vanishes into a puff of golden smoke, and a single golden key rests on the end of the trident.

The goblin is stabbed and vanishes away.

(it is Lou's turn)

[Nihtgenga]

Twirling the key on the end of her trident, Retiaria flipped it round and caught it. "Hame, I ahs hohim o mahe her my bich." She grinned over at the other gnoll. "How aout oou, cuhie? On your neeh, ah we cah hah home huh..."

Then she grimaced, annoyed at her inability to form coherent words with this stupid mouth.

[Dichotomy]

That... that was distracting alright!

Need to focus! The goblins are gathering in close again. I grit my teeth and taunt "Clearly you didn't hear me the first time!" and bring my hands together again in a thunderous boom.

((2d8 = 10 damage. Con Saving throw of 13 to take half damage, otherwise get thrown 10 feet))

[Ryuforce]

The healing couldn't have came at a better time. A sweet relief that kept Duran from slipping under. Unfortunately the goblins go for another attack that Duran can't completely block against, getting another hit she pants as she tries to stay focused.

[Concentration Check: 6 + 2 + 2 = 10. Need Alice to confirm if it passes]

[Alice]

The thunderous clap causes the goblins vanish into little motes of light  as it washes over the clearing..

the other gnoll is thrown backwards..

(Duran's turn)

[Ryuforce]

With the goblins dealt with thanks to an encore from Lou the dragon born smiled. "Nice! Now to deal with the remaining leader." Her eyes shift to the gnoll and while Oric's healing gave her relief, she knew it would be risky to rush in against the dangerous beast. Still, if she hesitates, the gnoll might attack one of her friends again or do worse then turning them into chickens for a short moment.  Not wanting to find out, the dragonborn rushed forward and called out to the gnoll."Hey! It's time you face punishment for all the innocents you've harmed!" She didn't just plan to strike, but also desired to take focus away from her team.

The ax comes down as the dragonborn tries to hit an opening. Even if she missed, so long as the gnoll didn't attack one of her friends, it would be worth the attempt. But... if the strike hits true Duran would focus on the light from within her, sending it out though the ax to try to deliver a mighty holy filled blow. Though it too may be tainted by the mysterious pearls that haunt everyone's weapons. It wouldn't deter her as she calls out when the strike hits: "Face Aircame's Wraith!"

[Duran unleashes justice on Gnoll!]
[Hit: 10 + 5 + 2(d4) + 1= 18!]

[Alice]

Duran's blow rocks the gnoll back on her heels. She gasps a moment before vanishing in golden light A large locked boxed where she stood moments before.

No other enemies remain to be seen. As the of them vanish Orics body returns to normal leaving her with an egg on the ground.

[Roselli]

Gwyn watches the baddies vanish, "The bodies disappearing into gifts is nice. I appreciate the easy clean up."

[darlingng01]

Oric:

I let out one final bawk as I turn back, looking around in a slight daze. Once I'm back to my senses I look down at the egg, feeling a little conflicted. I could just leave it here, but that feels wrong somehow. I could take it with me and just... hold on to it, but it's not like it'll ever hatch or anything, it will just spoil after a while. Eating it might be an option, but there's the risk of some weird magic being in it, plus eating something that came out of me seems... odd.

[Nihtgenga]

"The bodies disappearing into gifts is nice. I appreciate the easy clean up."

"Yeh, I ewweh hah oo cree uh huh hodieh ih eeh aweuh." Retiaria grimaced. "Aah, ih huhhih ouh!"

Frustrated, she kicked at the ground before angrily stalking over to the fallen gnoll's box and trying her key on it.

[Dichotomy]

I grin broadly and stretch, walking back over to the group. Their... generous curves are now less awkward to appreciate, though admittedly it's still not a good time. "We have spoils?" I ask, looking at the box and flexing... just a little "Fortuitous. Is... it may be wise to take this moment to rest. A moment, or perhaps longer... it's frustrating that none of these stays around long enough to prove a source of information, but continuing to charge blindly into enemy territory. I am no military tactician, but I am confident on this point nonetheless."

[Ryuforce]

Duran panted as she watched the gnoll vanish into golden light. "It.. ha.. it worked!" She said with a grin smiling at first upon eyeing the golden box, she soon frown though when she heard red's confusing mumbling, realizing the girl's face is still twisted by strange magic. Odd, Oric's already back to normal from being a chicken. "Th.. there has to be some way we can fix this." The dragonborn said with a pout but her mind draws a blank at the moment.

As she pondered what to do, Duran overheard Lou talk of how annoying it is they can't take prisoners. She nodded to that truth as with no chance to keep them alive also meant no chance to talk to them or perhaps save them from their own wicked ways. Still thinking bout this made Duran gasp upon realization. "Wait... we can't rest yet. What about that other gnoll who walked off a bit ago?"
