"Ha, you should've kept running while you had the chance!" Staring down stakes that weren't so perilous and cutting loose with her powers was a freeing feeling. AJ stoked another orb of flame in her grasp before launching it into a blazing arc of flame as she had done initially.

AJ burns the construct again, compromising its structural integrity further and allowing Dalton and Novac and move in to smash and slash it to splinters! The leshy inside scrambles free of the cockpit and gets to a safe distance.

The onlookers applaud your victory. Lesedi approaches with her hands on her hips. "Not bad. A bit of a rough start, but you pulled it together. Excellent use of your fire magic, AJ! Way to keep your friends on their feet with your healing, Al. Dalton, Novac, nice teamwork with your flanking maneuvers.

"Let's try a couple of tougher opponents, shall we? Take a few minutes to rest and then we'll proceed!"
OOC:
You have 10 minutes to rest, so you can Refocus or attempt to Treat Wounds if you'd like.

Sweaty from the first bout, Al spends the 10 minutes tending to his teammates.
OOC:
I can use Treat Wounds on whoever needs it! Either Dalton or Novac if you guys aren’t full.

I think that’s a critical success? Assuming the DC is 15

"Tougher opponent?" Novac looked at Lesedi in surprise. "What are you trying to accomplish? We've been through hell getting here, and now you're trying to finish the job?"
OOC:
yeah Novac is at 19 HP after 2 crits lol so i take the healing thanks

Dalton sat down to patch up his own wounds. "At least they are unlikely to eat us." he smiled glancing around at the crowd watching.

He must have been distracted by the surroundings and did not do a very good job at treating his own injuries.
OOC:

Treat wounds - failure :)

Al just finished tending to Novac when he saw Dalton struggling to patch up his wounds. He pulled out a pouch that had appeared below his bed the night before, which he assumed had come from Erastil. Inside, he had two murky green vials, one of which he tossed to Dalton.

I know it looks gross, but I smelled it earlier and I think it should help. Let me know if you need the other one.
OOC:
I give Dalton a minor elixir of life (d6 healing). If you need the other one, I will provide it gladly

"Thank you, thank you! I kinda forgot that fire can be scary to be threatened with. Glad the leshys are okay." AJ threw her back up against a nearby tree and sunk to the ground, trying to catch her breath. She wasted no time in allowing fire to surge back into her hands. The flames were mirrored in her focused eyes. Her breathing fell into a soothing, controlled rhythm. "A greater challenge sounds exciting. Higher bars means more opportunities to rise."
OOC:
Refocusing for 10 minutes.

Dalton looked suspiciously at the concoction Al handed him. "Well, I suppose I might as well be a guinea pig for this as well." He downed the potion swiftly before he could give it any thought. Grimacing slightly, he handed the empty bottle back to Al. "Could use some work."

Novac rolled his eyes at AJ, wondering why she was so intent on more pain. He shuddered, watching Dalton down the concoction, and couldn't help but think, "What more do we have to endure before this finally ends?" Turning to Lesedi, he challenged, "Since you got us into this, shouldn't you be the one to heal us?" Then, with a sigh of resignation, he added, "Alright, let's just get on with the next challenge."

Dalton smiled slightly, "Well, that didn't taste good, but I feel better."

Looking at Novac, "Not a bad idea that we practice patching ourselves up. Obviously I need practice with that poor effort. Al's potion seemed to work, unless I get violently sick in a couple of minutes. Better to find out here than somewhere less friendly."

Dalton was reminded a bit about what the dream had said, that he needed to continue to seek improvement and perfection. He was never good at that... diet, exercise, commitment. Well, maybe this was the time he would be different.

"I agree. Let's move on to whatever you have planned next."

"Tending to injuries is a part of combat practice!" Lesedi says, nodding at Dalton. "Okay, ready? Here they come!"

Another wooden construct steps into the fighting ring. This one is larger than the sword-wielding ones, its body studded with brambles. It wields a large wooden maul made of soft wood. The leshy piloting the construct waves at you, then the construct swings its maul above its head as it starts to approach!

"Careful, this hunk of firewood looks bigger than the others!" The corners of a manic grin rose high, reaching for a pair of wild eyes. While the trials before the combat had dealt a blow to her confidence, success and praise following did much to restore it. Ember roiled in AJ's eyes, matching that of the sparks swarming in the air around her. "Come close and burn!" Her tone was not threatening, but demanding.

AJ manages to demoralize the leshy piloting the construct. Even frightened, it manages to evade Al's lightning blast. Novac hits with one of his daggers, the blade sinking into the construct's leg joint. The leshy steers the pilot up to the rogue and attacks, hitting him once with the soft wooden maul!

Dalton was slow to react, but moved on the construct quickly as it closed in on Novac. "Novac, I thought I was the guy always taking the hits..."

lol - I think I have landed this Inner Upheaval 1 time the whole game. I also love how the damage dice mock me by rolling near max.
