Grim tries to hide using any decent cover he can find
OOC:
Yeah I missed that too

our plucky heroes dive for cover, even where there isn't any. Grim presses Clarice into a crack in the rocks, where he huddles over her and administers healing.

Elceran and Linston have no choice but to eat dirt. Use every ounce of their strength to push themselves as close to the earth as possible, and hope the grass does the rest.

The massive owl bear screeches as it flees, making a noise not even an army can miss, but it seems that flushing out wildlife is not unusual to them....

The scouts and spotters that will march at the van, have not even got themselves into position yet. And this close to camp have no expectations of anything to see.

So the thunder continues.

The chanting continues.

Louder, LOUDER, then quieter again. No one dares even raise their head to peek, until the rumble is truly fading into the distance.

It seems to take forever. But when the army has gone, the sun is still low in the sky, and it's still only morning....

Elceran only waits a moment more before standing up and starting a low sprint towards where their small camp was.

After the din of the marchers to dissipate Clarice pokes her head out of the crevice to see if she can catch a glimpse of Elceran or Linston.

"Have you seen the others?" she asks Grim.

Is everyone OK? Man, that was too close.

OOC:
Everyone is alive, and the danger, seemingly, has passed. The army is gone, and for now, the dust cloud they kick up tells you how far away they are.

The owl bear has left a trail of bloody claw prints across the grass land, and it heads straight for the horizon. (sorry, an owl bear is a bit much for 4 level 2 characters, my mistake)

You have no idea where the army might be headed, but there is no town closer to this camp than Greenest. (where you just came from) and the army took a day to travel there, a day to attack the town, and a day to travel back. So it seems, you have a window of at least three days to work with here.

What's the plan?

"I'm good now... thanks to Grim."

Clarice watches the dust cloud in the distance before turning her attention back to the others.

"Camp should be pretty empty about now."

I guess we should check out the cave the captured guy told us to.
Let's break camp.

"It should be a simple smash and leave mission. Then we get to try and out-pace an army to warn the town. But how hard could a drake be to train, or whatever? Or a baby dragon?"

Elceran helps pack up camp so they can get moving.

I am pretty sure the monk wanted us to destroy the eggs. If we take them, they could fall into the wrong hands. And, for what it's worth, I would think they would be damn hard to train.
Aug 25, 2021 10:18 pm
"We destroy them!" Clarice says without hesitation.

"The less of those evil things in the world the better."

Elceran shrugs "Not all dragons are evil, you know?"

The group licks their wounds, and packs their gear, preparing to re-enter the now almost empty camp.

I did say, almost...

while attempting to enter the hatchery with the army in place would have been impossible. Having them away does not mean this will be a walk in the park.

You will need to prepare for the greatest challenge of your lives. Tighten your armour, sharpen your weapons, proof read your spell book, and...

progress to level 3

"True. But I'm guessing the ones we'll be dealing with are the evil variety."

If you guys are ready to proceed, let me know how. Wait until dusk? Cover of darkness? Dawn? Sneak in, or stroll in?
Sep 7, 2021 5:54 pm
Cover of darkness works for Clarice.
Sep 7, 2021 6:16 pm
OOC:
cover of darkness might be hard for Grim. He would need a light source
Sep 7, 2021 6:50 pm
OOC:
Clarice would be more than happy to cast Light on something for Grim that he could pull out as needed.

OOC:
Bane.gif also Elceran can grant darkvision once that lasts for 8 hours. I can do it again with a short rest for each cast to regain ki points
