Aak's swing manages to just clip the moth.
Round Two: Aak's action complete. All other PCs acting.
Dazed by the wings of the monster but managing to act normally through it Jenya grits her teeth as she tries to shoot the monster again
Jenya's shot catches the moth in the wing.
Round Two: Reynold and Tamayra acting (round one actions remaining for Tamayra).
Trying desperately to shrug off the pervasive weakness working it's way through her body, Tamayra continues to fire and reload almost a meditation to staedy herself.
More shots ring out in the twilight. One scratches and the other rips through the moth.
Round Two: Reynold acting.
In his confusion Rheynold lashes out at the moth with all his strength, but fails to connect.
Round Three: All PCs accept Rheynold now acting.
Aak's swing just catches a flapping wing.

Jenya does nothing more than babble incoherently.
Pushing through the weakness, Tamayra reloads and fires again.
With one last shot from Tamayra the giant moth falls to the ground motionless.
Jenya checks on Rheynokd. Is everyone else doing alright? Reynold is down.
Jenya isn't sure if Rheynold is ok or not.

Aak would examine him in the sense of checking vitals, looking over visible body but would not remove armor or other extreme measures unless it was vital to stabilize or "save" him.
Aak will finish off the damned moth. He will than call the others around him and Rheynold. He clutches his holy symbol, and a wave of energy washes over all.
The wave of positive energy spreads through the immediate area, having the exact opposite effect Aak anticipates. Jenya and Tamayra feel the detrimental impact, but do not falter. Aak clearly is strengthened by his own actions.

Aak stands, puzzled at what had just transpired. He is visibly confused about the function of his power, wondering if his God is not with him or if the current plane is altering his powers.
Hmm, well that is odd?! I wonder if our current location is affecting my abilities? I am sorry to Rheynold and anyone else negatively affected by my attempt to heal him. Since that didn't work, the best I can do is use my knowledge of basic first aid to help him. Unless anyone else has any ideas?
Tamayra doubles over as a wave of....wrongness wracks her body, every fiber of her being in pain.
ugh... Did... Did you try to heal us?
The quite twilight of the strange forest remains unbroken. There seems to little danger posed by the slain moth. Nearby the stone sculpture clearly points the way forward. Rheynold remains stable, but unconscious on the ground.
Shaking off the nausea that came with whatever it was that Aak had done, Tamayra takes the situation into account. "We need to keep moving. Staying out in the open like this is just begging to be attacked again. If he needs extensive care, we need to find shelter"
Jenya nods. Whatever you did Aak.. didn't work. Let us find shelter and get Rheynold back to health
Using the statue as a guide, Tamayra leads the party on while Aak and Jenya manage to carry Reynold. Tamayra leads everyone first to the closest sculpture and then following it's direction to another statue. The last statue leads the group to a clearing roughly two hundred feet across, dotted with twisting cherry‐blossom trees with bioluminescent petals a pale shade of blue that shed a dim light throughout the area. Within its center stands a wooden structure. Moss‐covered, stone lanterns line the flagstone path leading to the spacious courtyard in front of the wooden structure.
Jenya volunteers to act as a scout. With cautious steps and pistol unholstered she enters the courtyard and, if she finds nothing dangerous, moves towards the wooden structure.
In front of the wooden structure is a large, white‐lacquered torii gate marking the courtyard’s entrance. The structure is a two‐storey lodge constructed entirely from interlocked timbers.
I... am not sure about the building. Is the courtyard defensible enough to make a camp? she asks the other members of the group.
Perception rolls:
[list]
There is something in that place. Jenya says indicating the building. We should take shifts guarding the area while Aak tends to Rheynold.
"Yeah I see it too. Other than that the area seems safe enough to set up camp." Tamayra says quietly.
I'll take first watch. Tamayra maybe you can take second. Then Aak can take a break for the third. Hopefully Rheynold will be conscious again by then
With protection from whatever else lurks in the forest Aak is able to successfully tend to Reynold through what could be a night. With the constant twilight it is impossible to gauge the time of day. Reynold awakes not fully recovered, but much better. Through the evening everyone remains undisturbed. There are continued glyphs of some figure or shadow within the wooden structure beyond the courtyard.
We should have asked for some help with healing Jenya sighs as Rheynold stirs and wakes.
Iron Sprocket awakens and looks immediately concerned.
"What happened? Where are we? What do you know?"
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
What do we know?... you're a strange one Rheynold. Jenya says as she crouches by him. Do you remember a moth? It attacked you pretty badly, Aak brought you back to us. Tamayra found us safety in this courtyard

While attending to Rhynold and his obvious wounds. He takes a look at Tamayra's wounds and her sapped strength.
With careful examination, he is easily able to patch her up. She may not be in full strength, but she certainly feels better than before.
Once, both Rheynold and Tamayra are cared for, Aak takes a welcome break and passes out once watch has been taken care of. He doesn't dream, or if he does he doesn't remember a damn thing about it.
Aak's attentive care of Tamayra while also tending Rheynold is greatly leaves both feeling much better while Aak is ready for mush much deserved rest.
Let's continue our watch and rest up. Jenya suggests. I'll take first watch so everyone else can rest and Tamayra you can take second. Hopefully we will be good to move on after that.
