Descent into the Underdark

Ander takes another swing at the dark mantle. Before attempting to fall back!

Go, friends! I’ll try and hold em off! Our knightly fellow tries strong the monster just as his companions fall back. So he can be the last to retreat from the fight!

Skeeve makes two heal attempts on Blornvid.

He also says, "Ealdwig, don't forget your new bow!"

Looks like Blornvid got one HP back.

Ishzu will follow Ander on his retreat, eventually meeting the others face-to-face. He gives them each a simple nod before turning back to face whatever is coming. Inside their heads, they once again hear a monotone, crystal-clear voice. "I am Ishzu, and that is Ander. Thank you for the aid."

Once we are all together, Skeeve says, "We can do proper introductions later. I'm Skeeve, and here are Blornvid, Ealdwig, Oliver, and Grin," He gestures to each in turn. "Is anyone in need of healing? Before whatever spooked the dark mantles gets here."

Surprised and alarmed by the screech coming from the south, Ealdwig freezes and stares in that direction.
Hearing Skeeve, Ealdwig snaps back to reality, at looks at Skeeve. Thanks. He picks up his bow, and puts it away for the time being. Holding his pole out in front of him, he walks back to the group without taking his eyes from the south of the cavern. What in the Hells was that? I don't like it.
Startled again by the voice in his head, he looks at the new guys. He looks at both in turn and realizes it is not the soldier who is doing that trick. Looking at Ishzu, if I can hear you in my head, can you hear me? Haven't been around much magic in my life, no idea how it works? And if he can hear me, can he hear all of my thoughts or only if I am thinking to him directly? I certainly don't want him in my head. Hum...

Skeeve's reminder for Ealdwig knocks on Oliver's memory as well, and he hurries to pick up his scent-capturing flask from the ground and regroup. It still smelled faintly of the Tavern, which was slightly reassuring.

"Oh, so you were that voice. Oh, yes, yes, proper introductions will have to wait" and he bows slightly and shuts up, listening attentively to their surroundings.

Skeeve looks at Oliver quizzically, but doesn't say anything.

If we have time, he reaches over to Zander and Isuzu to heal them. If we have no time he will try twice for each one. If we have time, he just heals everyone as best he can.

(These assume he is rushed. If not rushed, he uses focus and everyone is back up.)

Well, that's one each. Hopefully we have a little more time.

To be clear, Skeeve spent an entire turn (two actions) attempting to heal Ander. That's technically four single die rolls, but i rolled each action's rolls together to save time entering the rolls. Out of the four rolls for that turn, I got one success. The next turn I did the same for Ishzu. Again, four rolls over two actions with one success. So, after two turns I healed them for one point each.

I'll be more clear in the future. I thought I mentioned this was over two turns, but obviously I failed in that. I apologize.

Ander breathes in kind healing breath!
Ah, thank you Skeeve. Am feeling better!
Ander considers the situation, this our party’s present plight!
I’m not certain we’re making much headway, against the dark mantle. Thoughts? I’m Leary to just run back in with same result as before.

Skeeve responds, "I think we should wait to see what just spooked them like that. That weird sound didn't sound encouraging."
