"I don't know. Maybe they used magic, too," the dinosaur grumbles.
Jul 4, 2025 9:23 am
"Do you wait here for them to come back? If we can make the pain go away, would you be willing to leave here?"
Jul 4, 2025 9:26 am
The massive creature bares its sharp teeth. "I can smell them nearby. If you make the pain go away, I will help you hunt them down."

Aurelia nods emphatically for Horace to help the creature.

"Yes, your help will be appreciated. If we find them, we will try to get to the bottom of all this after we find Oriole."

"Let's see what we can do," Horace tells the creature. "One moment."

"Bekassine," Horace says, sharing what he has learned with the others, "I know it's dangerous, but my own healing abilities are limited. Would you be willing to try and mend this creature's wounds? I will watch your back, but nobody will blame you if you do not want to risk it."
OOC:
Horace has a single lvl 3 Scroll of Healing, which might be a bit of an overkill to use on the dinosaur and better saved for one of us, but...it's also a large carnivorous dinosaur we'd be dropping our guard to heal.

"Of course, the power my patron gave me wasn't meant to be hoarded." She looks to the creature as she raises her staff "It does know I don't mean it any further harm?"
OOC:
No problem, but uh any idea how hurt it is? I feel like a spell would be safer than treat wounds

"How hurt are you?" he asks the dinosaur, "Can you walk?"
Jul 4, 2025 11:22 pm
OOC:
was gonna use regeneration, but not sure how that works not in combat
Jul 7, 2025 7:53 am
"Yes. I can walk, but I hurt," the dinosaur complains.
OOC:
Regenerate gives a target fast healing 15 for 1 minute, so it would heal 150 total damage over the course of 10 rounds. That's more than it needs, though. The dinosaur has currently taken 40 points of damage.

OOC:
thanks, will use 3 charges from the staff then.

Bekassine raises her wand, using it as a conduit to send healing energy into the dinosaur. "That should help." she says ans Fox cautiosly approaches the creature.

Horace smiles and explains what his friend is doing as Fox approaches to heal the dinosaur. "How do you feel now?" he asks.

The dinosaur rises up to its full height, its dorsal sail spreading wide as its tail lashes happily behind it. "Much better!" it roars, the sound echoing across the manor's grounds. "Now, to make those bird-things pay!" It pauses to sniff the air, then growls, "This way!" as it begins stomping around to the back side of the manor house.

Aurelia beams as the injured dinoasaur is healed and follows close behind. Would they finally meet Oriole?
Jul 9, 2025 9:51 am
Ramank shrugs at Yarth and the two of them follows Aurelia and the dinosaur.

The dinosaur stomps around the path to the back of the manor house. As it gets near a patch of dense undergrowth, it stops and lets out a challenging roar. The roar is answered by squawks as a half-dozen creatures who had been hiding there emerge! These creatures have humanoid torsos and seagull heads, wings, and feet, and they stand about 5 feet tall. The angry dinosaur moves to attack them!

"Stay back!" Ramank urges Yarth and concentrates, saying magical words and as he does icy swirls appears around several of the creatures.
OOC:
I rarely get to act first, so might as well cast an area effect. 3 action spell with a 30 foot burst (don't know how many enemies I can fit in one burst), will try to avoid my own party and the dinosaur. Basic Reflex save for half (DC 33)

Horace quickly analyzes the creatures, trying to get a sense of what they are and how to take them down. His sword being drawn since following the dinosaur's tracking, quickly draws a scroll and stares down one of the enemies.

Horace recognizes the creatures as fey called shanty callers. Shanty chanters are known to dwell along the coasts of Garund or the eastern isles of the Shackles, living on small islands or cliffsides but rarely venturing too far inland. These capricious fey adore music, especially the sea shanties sung by ships' crews. Like many fey, they are weak to cold iron.

The thaumaturge demoralizes one of the fey as Ramank unleashes a howling blizzard upon them! All of them are injured by it, two more so than the others. The dinosaur roars and stomps forward, snapping at the closest fey, but it fails to hit them.

One of the shanty callers begins to sing a catchy sea shanty, and the others join in, the music seeming to bolster their resolve and quicken their movements. The other five creatures cast spells, blasting the enormous dinosaur with lightning bolts! The great beast proves quite nimble, dodging all but two of the blasts. The fey then all do their best to scramble further away, though the ice and snow from Ramank's spell slows their movements.
OOC:
The dinosaur takes 32 damage. The creatures move another 10 feet further away. Everybody may now act!

Bekassine will canst Guidance on Aurelia, then follows Ramank's example and tries to hit as many of the creatures as possible calling forth intense cold and darkness.

Aurelia thanks Bekassine for the help and, upon hearing the fey sing, utters an incantation while whirling her body around in a tight circle, sending terrible visions of apocalyptic destruction into the feys' minds.
