Descent into the Underdark

Ander drops Sword, and picks up Sling. A great knight respects everything, including proper nouns!
Parting shots, friends, Ander exclaims!

OOC:

I would have asked to change my second action, since the first action finished off the Roper, but I imagine I'd have to reuse my rolls, which means he'd still miss. Bummer.

Blornvid can Save to avoid loosing an action due to the flailing tendril

OOC:

Well, if it's not too late, I'd like to still roll.

If it's not too late, Blornvid would like to load his crossbow and take a parting shot at a darkmantle, assuming that neither is within striking range of his axe.

Seeing someone else injured almost as much as he is Ishzu walks over to Skeeve. He awkwardly stares at some of Skeeve's wounds, and they start to squeeze and pinch themselves back together.

Well, if everything has run away, or died, we'll get more chances. Also, Skeeve will heal Ishzu, too, starting next turn. (He helped Ealdwig finish off the Roper this turn.)

To Ealdwig, Skeeve says, "That was awesome! The way you just flew in and skewered it in the head was just amazing!"

Upon realizing that Ealdwig dealt the death blow to the roper, Blornvid shouts, "Well done, lad! That's the way!"

"That was an extraordinary impalement! You could fly all along??"

Oliver was just about to clean his arm off darkmantle drool, but then reconsidered and carefully stored it in a vial.
"Might not be useless", he shrugged.

"Such a magnificent creature, though, don't you think?" he pointed at the fallen Groper.

OOC:

Outta curiosity, a couple shots landed. Were either of the two fleeing darkmantles taken out?

"Considering that it tried to eat me, I'm not going to give it that. The sword sticking out of its head does lend some magnificence, though."

Smiling, Ealdwig pulls out the sword with some effort and a grunt. Climbing down from the Roper, thanks Blornvid, but I think Skeeve provided the killing blow. I just helped a little. I look at Oliver and smile no, I can't fly, unfortunately. It was kinda fun. The Chromacloth reverts back to a light source from the yellow. Ealdwig points at the headband apparently, I can fly with this thing. Still learning what it can do.

Ealdwig looks at the ichor on his sword, anyone have a rag or anything?

Well done, lad, well done! I’m buying you a round next time we’re back at the tavern! That’s a win for us little folk and a victory for us all! Oliver, did you see the boy fly?! Goodness, I’m speechless… He continues to engage in speech.
Oh, where’s that crystal fellow? That monster kept breaking its teeth on him!

I woulda swore I posted this, but I guess not ...

While I did roll for Skeeve after you did the flying attack, it was all in the same round, therefore simultaneous, for all intents. So, I'm giving Ealdwig the final blow as his attack was spectacular.

Skeeve says, "I will clean your sword once we are sure it won't immediately get dirty again." He will then work with Ishzu to heal each other to at least three or so each and start to work on the others.

OOC:

Oh! One more thing: could we tell where the Roper was running to? If it has a lair, it might have loot.

Also, when we first encountered the darkmantles, there were a lot of remains in their cave from their victims. That's where Blornvid's armor came from. Are there any other remains still worth checking out, or was that a different cave?

Thanks. It's kinda foul. Ealdwig makes a face.

Any idea where those two other creatures ran off to? We might want to try and finish them off before they heal up. Ealdwig takes the waterskin from his pack and takes a long drink. He holds it out to the group. Anyone want some? I need to see if I can find any of those arrows. Smiling, I'm going to need them for practice.

@Bunt : Yes you can attack unarmed, or with any weapon you are not proficient with, at disadvantage.

Grin take a shot and finishes one of the Darkmantle. Blonfvid is pushed back a but but manages to keep his balance. The last one takes off and you see it enter the passage down to deeper into the underdark. The Roper was heading further south, back where the Darkmantle were known to hunt. Ander has scouted the are but did not search it thoroughly as he was looking for the Darkmantle that lived on the ceilings. You heal each other up with the aid of Ishzu and Skeeve before checking the corpses and searching the rest of the caver. The roper is too bit and you do not know if it is worth transporting but are certain the Darkmantle are useful in alchemy. Taking your spoils along with the 3 Darkmantle corpses loads you down quite a bit as you make you way back to the Matrix node to pass on the information Fiznik and Valpip who identify your haul for you.

Since we were just in a cavern, is there a chance to look for mineral ingredients before leaving? I'm going to narrate it assuming yes, but correct me if there's not enough time

"A mix of minerals and plant extracts form this clear and scentless fluid" sang Oliver softly while looking around the cavern for compatible minerals. He mostly guided himself by trying to smell the correct kind of dust.

OOC:

Rolling with advantage due to otterfolk sensitive smell. Alchemy's advantage to identify is for liquids! Haha

OOC:

Team Veteran, Skeeve, Blornvid, and Ealdwig, take turns with magic and split the loot.
This is typical of most parties I see. Magic/gear goes to those who can use it best then sell of extra and split all $$$ equal.
We can say that is common "adventurer etiquette" that everyone knows. Though some parties deduct gear/item value from the recipients cut while other parties split coin evenly and rotate acquisition of gear. The question is who wants/cam use/needs a magic boost? That's up to you guys to roll play.
