Raspar burns. And then will draw and drink a minor elixir of life hp healing.
"Ah, that's better."

Raspar listens to what Char-baguil has to say about dead gnomes, and it seems to be a lot. He will follow the party to the gap.
Dak dodges the dragonflame!
As the rest of the party works out the details, Dak eyes the storm. He then hustles to the gap.
Cuthberwyn twists and does manage to avoid some of the dragonflame.
Once through the gate...
Cuth concurs with Cabaguil's assessment of the gmone's demise.
This storm...it's unnatural. You can tell by the local flora that it's been going for quite some t— Cuthberwyn expounds, then stops abruptly when he gets sand in his eyes. AARGH! He is unable to see what the others see through the storm, instead furiously rubbing at his eyes.

It takes roughly 20 minutes to reach the town. Finderplain is an eclectic mishmash of structures arrayed with the best of intentions along unregulated thoroughfares that have migrated gradually over the centuries thanks to a lack of formal building codes. Founded about 300 years ago, Finderplain serves as a waypoint for travelers between Nex, Katapesh, and the western wilds. Its predominantly gnome populace is largely transitory, rarely remaining for more than 6 months before departing for other excitement and opportunity. As a result, even the younger structures have often exchanged ownership a dozen times, and any property left abandoned for at least a week is up for grabs. What’s more, Finderplain has weathered at least 50 different governments, having recently wished farewell to Chief Minarchist Dwalginostil’s 11 months of governmental noninterference, and 2 months ago hailed Soukmaster Satla Kivarn and her commerce-minded initiatives.
The last few days of dust storm have forced Finderplain’s occupants to shelter in their homes. Dunes of fine silt have accumulated in the streets, forming low mounds here and there and noone is out walking the streets.
Cabaguil looks for a public house of some kind. Anywhere strangers might be accepted in from the sandstorm.
Upon finding a likely building (or taking a random shot) he pounds loudly on the door, ”Oy there! We’re travelers caught out in this mess! Please! Let us in so we may heal and rest from the weather!”
He’ll try other buildings if he can’t get anyone to open. Though if the group passes an abandoned structure, Cabaguil will suggest they take cover there temporarily so he can heal everyone (including himself!) and they can rest a moment and take stock of the storm.
Raspar will touch himself in a private way.
”C’mon, let’s find a place to hole up. We’ll have a lot of work ahead of us to clean all this up! There is a LOT of dust.”
Dak mentally pictures Raspar's agony at the thought of having to sweep up such a mess as this, then he smiles.
A split second later he realizes that the halfling would take Sisyphean delight at the though, then he scowls.

|
Cabaguil leads the group through the streets towards a place called Bazal's Basin. The largest of Finderplain’s buildings, this earthen hall acts as a town hall, dance parlor, theater, feast hall, temple, and more as needed. Like many of Finderplain’s features, it’s been renamed dozens of times. The main room can hold about 400 people comfortably with another 100 in side rooms—and half again that many if most of them are gnomes.
On your way there you hear a weathered forlorn howl that seems to scare a family of gnomes from their home as they come bursting out of the door.Three gnomes and one half-elf inside into a blind panic. They burst from their shelter, screaming in terror as they run down the street, just visible to
you through a break in the dust storm. At the same time, three opportunistic huge dark, swirling clouds filled with flying debris and streaked with sudden flashes of lightning converge on the fleeing creatures.

Cabaguil extends his senses (link) to see the seen and unseen.
Cabaguil look at the new threat, what he can see of it. Though they have concealment, he tries to determine what they’re up against if he can (•>). He’ll call out what he learns if anything.
He’ll then cast Flame Strike (8) trying to get them all in the radius (just 10’ so he’ll get what he can).
Raspar pauses, trying to decide what he can see and which way to go.
"Which way Cabaguil!?"

Most of you charge forth through the sand storm as Cabaguil recognizes these creatures as Uthuls. An uthul most often appears to be a dark, swirling cloud filled with flying debris and streaked with sudden flashes of lightning. Although they are clearly elemental in nature, uthuls are nearly always found on the Material Plane, where they hide among natural cloud formations, especially thunderstorms. They are able to form into living whirlwinds that can pass through areas inflicting severe damage.
With this much wind Cabaguil believes flames will do the trick as he sends a flame strike down in between two of the elementals.
The flames swirl into the winds creating huge fiery tornado elementas for a few brief moments as panic sets in until the flames extinguish.

Cabaguil shrugs, one of his most powerful spells, and a pair of decent hits out of it. He wanted more! More power! He moves up. It’s difficult terrain, 25’ move, so just 10’. I’m 40’ away. (•>)
He tries something a little different, casting Searing Light (7) because all his other spells are too short range.
He points his finger straight up in the air rather than at his target.

Each of Raspar's strikes pass harmlessly through the elemental as they miss. Cabaguil sends a blazing ray of light into the wounded elemental in front of Dakapos, but instead scorches a nearby building.
Dakapos closes in on the elemental and slashes his blade across the surface finding solid footing.
Kelvin is swept up into the miniature tornado and taken away with one of the elementals.

Dori and Raspar's weapons both seem to diminish the raging mini tornado's storm as the elementals power struggles. Cabaguil rains down another flames strike onto the pair as Kelvin is ejected right into the nearby wall.
Cuthberwyn spurs the group onwards as Dakapos raises his shield and focuses on a similar location as Raspar's starknife as it seems to make contact. Kelvin is too shaken as he swings around the open air.
The elementals begin to calm down a bit as they cease spinning debris all around them. The elementals shift around, swirling up more dust along the ground as they send powerful lightning bolts out from the center of their storm.

Raspar's starknife destroys the core of the elemental as it dissipates into a small electrical explosion. Cabaguil sends a pillar of flames down into the green tinted storm as it burns just off center.
Cuthberwyn casts a spell that absolutely wrecks the elementals senses. It seems to get confused as the winds begin swirling chaotically.
Kelvin avoids the lightning as his prized spear finishes off the elemental that Cabaguil's flames weakened down.

In the short distance you see some of the local militia helping the survivors, leading them towards Bazal’s Basin. Having witnessed your battle the militia waves towards you. "This way! Get in here quick!" The shout as loud as they can but it is barely heard over the storm.
Kelvin quickly leads the group towards Bazal's Basin.
Cabaguil moves quickly for the Basin following Kelvin. He wants no more of this storm that's for sure. Sand is getting, well, let's just say sand is getting everywhere.
He hurries along.
Raspar hustles to keep up. With the sand continuing to go everywhere, he wonders how he'll ever clean it all up.

It takes roughly 10 minutes to go the short distance to Bazal’s Basin. Once inside the militia pull the door shut, straining as sand fills in all of the gaps.
Once the sand within settles you find the building is currently housing 450 residents. A small gnome with bright red hair and a couple piercings in her eyebrow scuttles through the crowd. "You're safe now." She looks you over. "You aren't from Finderplain? Who are you? Where did you come from? How did you get through the storm? Why would you come into the storm?" She asks with confusion.
”We’re heroes from the Rainbow Citadel, but we don’t expect you’ve heard of us before now.” he introduces each member of the party by name, ending with himself.
”So what can you tell us about these storms? We found a courier…” he hands over the note the party found on the dead man. ”…so clearly this isn’t the first one. Have those creatures appeared before?”
He'll start working on the parties wounded before fanning out to look for others in need of aid.

“Short answer: no. Finderplain’s not got a lot of longtime residents and historians, but a dust storm should not last this long and be this fierce. We’re two days into it, and it’s stronger than ever. Scouts have skirmished with monsters out there, yet we don’t know if they started the storm or are just enjoying it.”
Satla grimaces as another howl sounds off in the distance. “There’s something—maybe somethings—really creepy out there prowling the streets. Worse, some of the survivors we’ve pulled in have mentioned hearing whispering urges toward violence, or were tormented for hours by hearing voices promising the end of the world. Others have seen glowing eyes and horns that disappear into the dust. Whatever it is, it’s cruel, smart, and relentless.”
"Well, I guess we're headed back out into it then." Cabaguil says grimly. He digs out a scarf or other rag to help keep the sand out of his mouth and nose at all.
When he's done what he can by way of healing, and had a little rest and some water, he'll ready to head back out.
"Where have these glowing eyes been seen? Is there a part of town more dangerous than the rest since the storm? It'd be nice to not have to wander around too much out there, you know?"
When the party is close to ready, he'll try his Prying Eye spell. He doesn't think it'll last long in the windstorm, but he's going to give it a try to at least get the lay of the town if he can.
Raspar pads along, trying to see how he might best be of help.
"Oh, it's a dangerous monster?" Rasp draws his starknife and is ready to head outside. "Say no more. I will be bleed for you, gnomefriend."
He will wait to see if Cabaguil can locate it or if he needs to blunder around until it is found.

Satla gives a tentative smile and grows a bit excited. “Hey, we can use all the help we can get. There are only a few of us left who are strong enough to hold our own against the monsters. We’ve also got a lot of local leaders who we’ve yet to find, dead or alive. At this point, I need information, rescuers, those leaders, and supplies—food and water, especially. And if you can figure out how to stop the storm, all the better.”
