Session 5: Trek to Ten-Towns

Agna's fingers close around the stone around her neck as she summons the war chief within. "Vokarr! Keep it busy!"

While the spirit manifests, she tightens her grip on Nass and marches the other woman away from the beast. "Adaia! Get yerself together and run, girl!"

Adaia snaps to her senses a little, almost being equally afraid of Agna. However, still rattled by fear she begins to run back to the main cave.
As she gets to the doorway, she turns and attempts to bring a portion of the roof down upon the beast yelling out in equal parts fear and effort
"Die beast!".

Adaia stumbles over the words, and isn't able to make the right motions with her hands, causing her to lose control of the magic - as the roof begins to tremble so does her staff. She cries out again "DIE!" and her staff explodes, as a chunk of ice falls from the ceiling.

Adaia, seeing the beast barely slowed by the falling ice and her arcane focus now shattered is further panicked. "Quickly, Run! We can't beat it, I can only slow it down! her voice trembles and breaks I-i-i hope.
Adaia fiddles around in her pocket for the ring, her hands trembling, making it difficult. She slips it on as she gets through the door, and casts Gust of Wind using the Rings magic - hoping to slow its advance and give us a chance to flee, if even for a little time.

"Slowin' it down is good enough!" Agna takes hold of Nass and pushes her in the direction of the rest of the caravan. "Tell Beorne I want the caravan movin' in fifteen minutes. Damn the blizzard, we're gettin' out of this cave!"

Retrieving a mouse skull from her pouch, the orc crushes it into fragments in her closed fist and throws it in the direction of the owl monstrosity with a muttered incantation.

The toll of the long night makes itself known to the orc, weariness making her arms and legs feel leaden. Her illusion falls short of scaring the beast. Agna heaves in a breath to shout her defiance at the monster, but comes up short again.

Adaia, seeing her attempts fail as well as Agnas - already beset by panic decides to flee and attempt to close the Jewelled door.

"Quick get through, the best we can do is flee!"

While the monster looms over her, Agna aims for where she thinks the creature might be vulnerable with a desperate jab of her staff.
