Tzardüsk steps back from the bugbear and moves over to Kal, handing him a dagger so he can cut his way out of the net.
Victor licks and stabs the goblin
I need to hear from Pyre and/or Kalagan.
Pyre makes a mighty swing.
Cant till tonight, but the only thing that has really changed is that skum2 is gone
VIctor, it is still a standard action to lick disease your dagger. You can use a discovery to do it as a move action, as the swift poison discovery, but without that it is a standard action. The goblin will be sickened this round, do you want to attack, or disease your weapon?
Thoyoitu, I'll check how many rounds left if it gets close to that long before the combat ends.
Tzardusk, you can also try to cut the net open yourself. The net has 5hp and 0 hardness.
Kalagan, were you waiting on a map update? old map from last round
New CURRENT MAP. Kaligan is up, (I moved Tzardusk too)
the bugbear is stunned, but not blind and will get to act this round
ok, instead of handing over the dagger, tzardusk will try to cut it himself.
"Brother, you could probably do this faster than I can."
Kalagan struggles over and takes a mighty swing at the Bugbear.
As Kalagan approaches, the bugbear attempts to evade, but the scintillating patterns that rattled its brain and it could not defend it self. The half orc's blade bites into the creature and it falls to the ground dead.
All its companions gone or dead, the Goblin drops its blade and attempts to utter a surrender, but sickened, it vomits instead.
Combat is over and you can do as you please with the goblin
Let's wait a minute, pointing our weapons at it, so that I can scare it by pretending to be the bush god, coming to punish him.

Desula goes over to Kalagen and kicks the corpse of the bugbear, "Friends of your?"
Desula checks its corpse to see what these savages uses for equipment. Noticing himself and Kalagen bleeding on it. He looks over to Victor, but gets a crotchful of Pyre in his view. Pyre being all beat up, Des feels bad that he became a just a bigger target. Still he made for a great bodyguard..
"Good Doctor, could you see to our wounds?", he calls out.
Tzardusk touches des and Kal each with his healing touch.
"anyone else need some patching up?"
Looking around the party sees Kalagan and Tzardusk's people, a smattering of orc and half-orc, mostly old, young, female, and a few human slaves. It appears that not all of the groups of raiders that were fighting in the woods failed as miserably as the one you took out.
Two women are wailing and there is an old orc that is yelling at another about having lost a boy. Several captives have been taken by the creatures and dragged off. All told there is:
some poor quality small goblin gear 4 longswords and leathers
a Trident and Net (damaged), a set of Leather armor, a Heavy-Flail, and a Composite Short-bow (+4str)
Also, it appears that the Skum had fashioned a headdress of feathers and two of the goblins had a feather hanging from one ear.
There is no gold to be had or coin, but there are shiney bobbles and such that the Half-orc say have value to the locals, including four highly prized shells on the Bugbear.
The Crewmen seem to have done alright, not loosing any of their members, and the Slaver seems to be ripping a teeth from some of the fallen monsters.
Victor grabs the goblin leathers and puts them on
"small armour for smallfolk ratfolk"
Victor also yoinks the feather hat off the dead Scum and the one feather off the goblin.
He dances round to desula
"hey des, you mind helping me check whether these are anything special?"
He gestures to the feathered hat and feather.

"Thank you, Tzar. Let me take a look at those, we may have to wait till tomorrow for me to study their auras, but I'll see what I can find out", Des says as he begins to examine the feathery apparel.
Des gathers up whatever baubles looks interesting and may have value to the locals. "Kalagen, do you barter here or do you have a monetary institution here," having an idea already.
"And someone kill that thing before it spreads anything around here." indicating the goblin.
after healing folks, Tzardüsk casts detect magic on the items found.
Victor goes off what des finds and tries his own little investigation
All of the gear is mundane and there are no lingering auras of magic cast being what you have used
Kalagan walks among his followers, laying hands on those who are injured and speaking words of encouragement or consolation. "The day will come when we will not need fear this senseless killing. Rraurvir leads us out of this bestial existence into civilization. Mourn those we lose, but hold fast to your hope. It will be rewarded."
If there was more than one Skum, Thoyoitu takes the feather hat off one (since Victor already took one) and wears it.
"If you are offering healing i could use some mister Tzardüsk. I took a couple big hits. Pyre says looking through the bugbears things.
Tzardüsk heals Pyre for 1 wound and 2 vigor with but a touch.
Thoyoitu, you freeze as you take the Headdress as some of the feathers are of uncannily similar size and type to your own feathers. Tengu feathers.
The Half-Orc group had 19 total indivituals, but there are 7 missing, 3 humans and 4 Half-orc. Of those left, one has died, 4 are severely inured, and many of the rest have more minor wounds. These people are not warriors, but they are orc, so they held their own relatively well against such superior numbers.
From the Crew of the Wyren'shaad, the party found the Orc called Cody, the humans Maria and the Freed slave, and Squeek
Ros, Hezala, Kumunde, and Bessie are all at your camp.

"Tzardusk, it looks like your people will need tending to as well", Des says to Tzar before going back to the sailors.
"Would any of you happen to know where we are? And are you armed, we have some equipment if you are willing to help us get off, what I lovingly call, bullshit island." Des hoping to build a better report with the sailor now that they are all collectively stranded in the middle of nowhere.
Tzardüsk moves among the wounded and starts touching each one gently on an arm or shoulder... wherever they aren't going to hurt more at the touch... and healing them, passing out words of encouragement and calm with each heal.
Thoyoitu kneels down beside the Skum and draws his weapon. With all his might, he stabs it repeatedly in the heart, neck, face, ect. Basically just stabbing it in anger while crying angrily. He then takes the headdress and moves to the other Skum, repeating the process.
Once done with the skum, Thoyoitu moves to Des and Victor and motions to the headdress clearly indicating to hand them over to him, "I believe those are my... my peoples' feathers."
Maria and "Cody" seem to have gravitated to the Half-orc standing around and dealing with the bodies of the dead raiders and thier own injured. They get some odd looks, but some seem to be laughing and they are getting on well. Maria happens to speak flawless Orc.
The Slave is silent but seems to be hanging mostly around Squeak. I couldn't tell ya where we ended up. Somewheres nearin the Storm Seas. The Halforc ya met may know a little more, but isleanders rarely got much geography beyond they island and maybe them want are nearby. Squeak says with a shrug. By the way, you found any others of us from Tavian's Worm?
Been here long as you mate, but the place did just get raided... Take that as ya will. The folk seem defect enough, leastwise, M's checkbook em out. What survivors? My crew or the Drow's?
Victor looks at the hat.
" at least we know they're here then"
He sounds hopeful, and determined to find the rest of the tengu
"Brother, we need to collect the rest of our people. These scum have taken them. Will the rest of you hwelp us? Or do we stand alone?"
The Half-Orc group had 19 total indivituals, but there are 7 missing, 3 humans and 4 Half-orc. Of those left, one has died, 4 are severely inured, and many of the rest have more minor wounds.
You can collect the folks at the beach and bring them here, but by the time you return it will be getting dark and you will then have to head out in the morning. Alternatively, you could head out immediately into the swamps and try to hunt down the raiders, but the bogs do make tracking incredibly difficult for any but the most skilled trackers, if not impossible, and you are unlikey to find any raider's camp before the long twilight starts.
"So we need to find our missing... and it seems these folk have missing of their own... perhaps we need to combine our efforts.. maybe their missing folk were taken by the same ones who took ours."
Pyre nods to the brothers, "I will go with you."
