HP 56
Nagar takes his share of the gold and caltrops but leaves the rest for whoever wants it. ”While that was a fun detour, definitely wasn’t the wyvern we were looking for so let’s push forward.” After picking up his blades from the ground he looks back towards Lily. ”Have any healing available? After not healing from the elementals and this nice burn I have, not looking to get jumped by something else while in a weakened state.”
Lily pops out a glass bottle and crushes a pinch of ??? in it and it glows. She hands it to Nasar, Cure Light Wounds coming up!
She looks at him waiting for him to drink before asking, Good enough?
Nasar downs the bottle like a freshly open bear with the boys
HP 64
He flexes his hand that used to be a bit burned up from club and sighs”Should be good now. What about everyone else? Does anyone else need to be patched up. Remember we have a wyvern and who knows what else lying ahead of us. Plus we don’t know when we’ll have to worry about those pathfinders again. Whenever it is that we have to come to blows with them, I want us to have a plan in place. Lily if you are able to charm their half orc and have him target the elf that would be great. Then you can float around the fights and help where you are needed. Then Marissa I don’t think I need to explain that you can handle their paladin. Gen and Deract, us three can handle their druid and bard easily enough. And remember, try to not kill all of them. That’s not what we’re here for.”
They all nod and Lily shrugs, I can try, he’s probably very weak minded so we can try that then. The party cleans themselves up and meets back up from the way they came to see the Pathfinders. When they do find them the Parhfinders are cleaning themselves up as well next to a pile of unconscious Kobolds.
The Bard looks to the team, Hey you made it! Just in time too, there is some kind of group of lizards in there and we can’t really get past em-
The rogue cuts him off, They were a few dinosaurs the kobolds decided to hold as pets, they’re quite adapted to the ice and very feral.
The orc nods, We’re all healed up you guys wanna tag team it?
”First a skeleton dragon, now dinosaurs. Man does the fun ever start...If thats the case I’m going to finish patching myself up then.” Nasar takes out one of his CLW wands to deliver boops to himself while grumbling in draconic. ”I swear if we run into some tyrannos I’m turning around and caving this whole place in. How the hell do you get dinosaurs down in this cave? It’s like every passing day I’m reminded of why i dislike dragons and their kin.”
HP 73
After putting away said wand Nasar collects himself and resumes speaking in common
”Alright, let’s see what this lounge has in store for us.”
The half orc points down the way, Down that way there’s the small opening them lizards use to get in and out. Some of em are loose so be careful when you go in Aleister, we will follow behind.
He leads Nasar to a small crawling hole suitable for a medium creature to crawl in. Deract with his hat of disguise on walks up and looks up at Nasar, Mind if I take point on this one, as your new project manager shadower I think I’m ready to take a lead. And he gives a small wink to Nasar to hold up the society story they have up.
Nasar gestures for Deract to take point.
”Go on then. I get bored being the point man all the time. Just be careful as you’ll be pretty vulnerable in this tunnel. C’mon everyone stay close, don’t need anyone stuck in the tunnel as we advance.” Nasar waits for Deract to head into the tunnel and he’ll follow behind.
Deract crawls through the tunnel and pops out on the other side in a matter of seconds. Nasar follows close behind as does the team and the Pathfinders as they slowly fill into a hollowed out part of the cave. Cages made of stone, bone, and other items are placed about the area. Some containing smaller lizards about the size of a child while a larger cage made of crudely worked metal holds a larger more aggressive Megalasauros. The nocturnal beast sits there with its eyes glowing a yellow tint as a cat in he dark would.
The Paladin riffles through her pack, I can’t she jack squat I need to crack a glow stick. She reaches for a sun rod and prepares to light it up. Nasar spots a few open cages across the way that look like they’ve been broken open by force. It’s obvious the team is not alone here.
Nasar looks back at the paladin, his own yellow eyes piercing through the dark at her. ”I don’t know how much if that’s a good idea. There’s a lot of opened cages which will mean there’s probably a good amount of animals roaming around and opening a sun rod will 1) Easily give away our position to everything around us that doesnt have darkvision, 2) It could startle them and I don’t know about everyone else but I’m not a fan of startled dinosaurs all over the place.” Nasar takes a closer look around the area for anything else of interest before pressing forward.
”The longer we cant keep the element of surprise the better our situation is.”
The other rogue nods and gets down as she addresses her team, He has a point, we were only able to take down one of those raptors when we were last in here. And why use a sun rod when we got our wayfinders?
The paladin shrugs, I dunno respect to the items bought being used.
Looking around through the darkness a small dinosaur walks the floor near the center, it looks around as helpless as it is on its stubby four legs. It lets out a small sound resembling a baby deer but is suddenly cut off by the pounce of another creature! The creature lands atop the small creature with two long legs and is quickly thrown to the side and chased by another being in the shadow and bit. The two dinosaurs there resemble velociraptors, they seem to be to into their meal to see anything else.
A large thumping noise can be heard as a dinosaur also with yellow eyes walks to the caged megalasaur. They look identical with blue scaley skin and the creature does a small roar to catch the attention of the caged one.
A large eagle-like bird the size of a roc caws in its cage as it smells the dead dinosaur. The raptors can be heard gorging on their meal.
Deract whispers, I don’t wanna take point anymore I’m scared...
As the team gets down to stealth Nasar’s Bob of Holding starts to rumble around abruptly. The bard looks next to him at the bag but before anyone has time to react the Bob of Holding bursts open as an adult crocodile crashes to the floor. Everyone around is surprised as the beast appears but it immediately hisses and snaps at Nasar.
Before Nasar realizes what’s happened he feels a giant gripping pain on his leg as the croc latches on with extreme force! It starts to tuck its legs in as the rest of the team is in shock at what’s happening.
Hp 64
Well this is rather unfortunate timing, and very painful. Good thing I have a capable team ready to STAND AROUND AND WATCH ME GATOR WRESTLE
Nasar, after letting out a uncomfortably high pitch yelp from getting his leg cronched, attempts to free himself from the crocodile’s maw before he gets to feel the Penelope special firsthand.
Nasar manages to pry the gator open as it opens out its legs again and it snaps closed without a Nasar leg, Marissa slams her morningstar down on the croc and crushes its head stopping it immediately. She looks at Nasar, Sorry that caught us off guard. I don't have reflexes as fast as you.
A raptor begins to sniff the air tracking the newly killed body. It slowly makes its way closer as the other megalasaur can be heard trying to tear apart the cage of its kin.
”It’s fine it’s fine. Let’s move it though. That one- Nasar points to the raptor ”Seems to be interested in the dead gator. If we are here when it gets here I’m assuming it will not appreciate us. And that one- pointing to the caged megalasaur ”Looks ready to break down its cage. Again, don’t want to be here when that happens. It also seems to have some level of darkvision based on its eyes so sneaking around wont do us any good with it.” Nasar starts hightailing it out of the room before the shi t hits the fan.
As Nasar peers around the room he realizes the only way out the room is back through the crawl space. Continue?
”Wait what the hell, this is a dead end? What’s the point of this room, and how did these dinosaurs get in here? Unless I’m missing something this room we are just wasting time in here and should just head back.” Nasar lets everyone else try at taking a look around before they move on out.
The room very much one way from what the team can see looks to be encased in ice but Lily points out as she peeks at the approaching dinosaur. Yea but that other room was a dead end too? she looks down at Deract who is already scampering out the hole along with the bard. They quickly all evacuate the room as the sound of munching takes place.
Nasar sheathes his weapons and pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration ”Ok nothing but dead ends. But there HAS to be another way. That means there some sort of hidden passageway. So unless someone here has some sort of magic that’ll reveal wherever it is. We’ll have to do this the old fashioned way. Fan out and search for it. If we don’t find it on this side of the tunnel-“ Nasar cracks his knuckles but doesnt get the full satisfying crack he was hoping for. ”We’ll head back through, do what we have to and search that side for the way forward.”
The rogue looks at Marissa, You and my paladin can tag along together, you were on that other side so you can be her eyes. She inspects her glove and nods at the Paladin.
Everyone nods in agreement before Lily pulls a copper coin out and flips it in her hand while looking at the Paladin, You think we’re really that f$&king stupid?
Lily’s voice pops into Nasar’s head, I think they know we’re not here as help.
Lily brandishes a claw, And just why do you want to do that? Because as a Paladin I know deceit isn’t the first thing on your mind. So why is it the only one trailing through it right now?
The Rogue places a hand on her sword, What are you some kind of mind reader?
The Paladin girl points a finger at her, I told you something was off, strong evil auras like that don’t just show up to help pathfinders!
Everyone in the room reaches for their weapons while this dialogue takes place. A brief moment allows Nasar to give his opinion.
Nasar adjusts his face coverings and places his hands on his blades as a fight is seemingly around the corner. "It's a shame honestly. With our two teams working together, that wyvern wouldn't have been an issue at all." Nasar nods his head at the half-orc "Even you acknowledged that it would be overkill. If you'd prefer to start this now so be it, I don't want to hear any complaints when we have to put all of you down." Nasar draws his weapons and assumes his stance "No more games team, drop the act and remember the mission. We've come this far let's not screw it up."
Deract and Lily morph back into their fiend and succubus forms as the whole crew pulls out their weapons in this small 30 foot room. The fight immediately breaks out as the Paladin points her broadsword at Lily, I will exterminate you vile scum!
Nasar moves first.
Nasar looks at the rogue ”Sorry love, but while you’d make a fun sparring partner. Believe me I would kill for someone to train my style of fighting which you seem to be close to. Although rapiers are a bit out of my style. I’d suggest an elven curve blade, they slice a bit cleaner. We’ll discuss this later, I have a date with...” Nasar scans the fight stage and singles out the bard. ”You!”
Nasar takes the opportunity while everyone else, besides the rogue, being flat footed and makes an takes moves up to the bards’s face and takes a slice at ‘em.
The bard tries to dodge the blade but as people mostly end up between Nasar and his blade, this one is no different. He screams as he pushes Nasar away from the devastation as Deract scurries quickly to the Paladin while casting as he lunges at her and tries to land a touch attack.
The girls hands fly together almost like magnets behind her back as a set of manacles appear over top them. The Paladin looks down as she struggles to get free and yells a curse. You bastards! Keep watch of their demon magic!
Lily starts to cast her domination magic, Oh don’t worry babe, did someone order up some demon magic?! Her eyes turn a deep purple as she looks at the half orc.
The half orcs eyes turn a shade of purple as well as she points to Nasar, Obey the fetchling. A thought probes Nasar head, Simple commands, dominated people are generally stupid.
The orc rushes the halfling with his glaive in his raging state. The halfling yells, Aki’ Ra noooo!
The halfling is tossed to the ground as he goes unconscious.
The rogue growls as she rushes Deract to protect her comrade. She slashes at him as he yells in pain, OUCH!!
Genesis looks at the Druid as she casts Shield on herself and Marissa rushes past her toward the Druid. SUCK MY D$&K!! Her sword glows in unholy flames as she draws near the Druid who wild shapes into a Medium Air Elemental and floats upward. I will bring Nocticulas wrath on your b$&ch a$& cat! And the tiger growls as it pounces on her barely scratching her.
I love when a plan goes...to plan. Didn’t plan for an elemental but Marissa and Gen should be able to handle that. Need to make good use of the Paladin being restricted. And with the the numbers working in our favor I can test my blade against that elf
Nasar looks up to the half-orc and points towards the Paladin. ”Knock that one out.” Nasar then charges up to the rogue to pointlessly flank her with Deract.
”YOU’RE NEXT”
Nasar’s blade meets hers as she blocks the attack, Just cuz you and this imp are here don’t change nothing! Her voice has turned sour and violent.
The half orc runs over and throws the Paladin in a headlock beginning to choke her out. The Paladin tries to bite the half orcs hand but is swiftly tossed to the ground by him still locked up.
Deract chuckles, And now!
He reaches to pants her but his fingers get stepped on instead. He reels back as his hand throbs in pain.
Marissa squares up and swings at the tiger with her morning star bleeding the animal with horrible holes. The Druid waves it’s elemental arms around and casts Sleet Storm on the area as the entire floor is caked with ice just like the cavern.
The rogue swings her sword back at Nasar with wicked speed as she tries to catch both blades in hers.
Nasar’s kukri flies out his hand to the ground as he instinctively releases to avoid almost cutting his fingers off.
Genesis casts up a barrage of magic missles at the Druid as does Lily hurl a bomb at him.
Nasar looks at his fallen Kukri, then over to Deract that couldn't figure out how to get into a girl's pants "Honestly I'm not sure which is more disappointing at the moment. You should really be faster when doing something like that. And you!-" Nasar points with his now free hand and can't help but smile behind his scarf. "Very quick movements, I'm used to training against someone bigger and slower. I love the change of pace!"
Nasar uses the only weapon available at the moment and tries to deke out the rogue before actually taking a good slash at her.
She stops the first slash but manages to get wounded by the actual stab. She meets blades with Nasar once more after his failed feint attempt, Why do you guys keep TALKING!? And she attempts to fling Nasar’s other blade out his hand.
Nasar’s rapier also slings from his hand hastily to the ground as she turns to Deract to try and block his scratches against her.
The half orc continues to choke out the Paladin as she pleads for help on the ground, P-Pleasee stop you can’t do this! She haphazardly tries to grasp the orc behind her but can’t with the manacles on.
The Druid notices Marissa trying to cave in his companions skull and decides to join the fight as he wild shapes into a triceratops. He lands in the floor shaking the entire cavern as he attempts to gore Marissa with his horns.
Genesis backs up slowly as to not slip in the ice and casts Lightning Bolt as 2 giant thunderbolts fly out at the cat and Dino.
Lily conjures up a bomb and tosses it at Marissa to heal her.
Nasar shrugs while reaching down for his blades ”I talk because I’m most comfortable when fighting. I don’t have time to worry about saying the right thing at the right time, I can just flow with the action and the words follow suite. Being a guy with a team of mostly females, a concern at times is souring bonds with each other by coming off the wrong way and it gets uncomfortable having to think about the right way to speak. But fights bypass those concerns since there are more pressing matters at hand. Ahhhh It feels good getting that out...sometimes its hard to talk about issues like that with just anyone. Now are you just going to let me pick these up or are you going to poke me with that rapier already?”
She looks down lost in his words until he prompts her to which she does try to stab at Nasar,
She slashes at his back as Nasar grasps his items and give a small chuckle as she then lets loose on Deract. Thats cool that you have feelings, a shame that you can’t turn it off like I can. It’s all about the coin for me! And she manages to bleed Deract once but enough to hurt him pretty bad. Deract clutches his bleeding side not looking too good.
Deract 5-Foot steps away and does a spin before his now glowing golden hand seems to mesmerize the rogue. Dumb bi$&h go rub up on Lily for a second. Your fast thinking mind can’t outwit a demon. Her weapons fall to her side as her eyes go golden as when and stares at Lily for a brief second.
Marissa continues to go toe to toe with the beast as she now has to deal with 2 animals trying to subdue her. Genesis casts another magic missle that knocks down the cat but all that leaves is the Druid in Wild Shape.
Lily teleports next to the rogue so she ha no trouble running on the now icey floor. She looks at Nasar and smirks a devilish smile and licks her lips with her Babau standing beside her, I’ll handle her now, go stab up that petty tree hugger.
Hp 60
Nasar shakes his head and turns away from the both figuratively and literally screwed rogue. ”Poor thing, I understand the frustrations of being beaten by this type of magic, at least its an enjoyable way to lose. Lily when your done with her join back up with us if the fight isn’t over.” Nasar moves as close to the remaining fight as he can with his limited movement, even though he has little trouble staying upright. After his move Nasar takes a swipe with his kukri if he is close enough to help Marissa fight.
Nasar slides over and meets the Druid with a stiff blade to his side as the trike turns to the side and tries to stab Nasar with his large horns.
The triceratops manages to catch Nasar off guard and jams its horns straight through Nasar’s shoulder as a rush of blood comes out.
Marissa’s hand glows black as she touches the Druid. The Druids eyes scramble for a second as it tries to regain itself.
Lily and the Rogue embrace briefly as the Succubus takes advantage of the situation by kissing the Rogue which she happily accepts.
Deract flings a chaos bolt at the Dino as it crashes against it. The Druid at this point does not look too good.
Genesis casts one last magic missile as the Dino turns back into his humanoid form and collapses to the ground.
HP 22
Nasar pokes at the new hole he has in his shoulder, making a look of disgust at the sound of his tenderized joint. ”F&@+ing hell that druid got me good. What’d you hit ‘em with Marissa, that looked like a new attack?” Nasar starts making his way back to the new couple and the choking Paladin. Not in any rush as the final two combatants are subdued and soon to be unconscious.
The glow on Marissa's hand fades, Cursed the little bastard, he will be stumbling for weeks!
The sabre cat backs off as it sits ready to defend its master, it doesn't look like it will retaliate unless attacked.
Lily gives the elf a peck on the lips as she whispers sensual nothings into her ear. She looks back at Nasar as her smile turns devilish and the elves skin starts to look dull and grey as her energy is continually drained.
The Paladin still struggling to breath looks at the team as they assess the damages and Deract looks through the Druid's things, Y...you vile beings... Her voice trails as she continues to lose consciousness. Sarenrei will bring her vengence on you. The half orc tightens his grip silencing her as she tries to grasp with her hands bound.
The rogue looks the demon in the eyes before she receives a firm slap across the face sending her withered body crashing to the ground unconscious. Lily looks at the team, She ain't dead, but when she wakes up she's gonna wish she was kekekekeee. Lily cackles a saucy but evil laugh as she surveys the other bodies.
Deract reaches for the Druid and the cat scratches at him and growls. Deract looks at Marissa, Crush that cat please.
Marissa looks at the cat and they lock eyes as Marissa begins to breath steadily and concentrate.
After about 10 seconds her eyes glow her signature deep purple and red as her fists turn grey, she steps up to the cat to let him take a swipe but is cut off by her fist sending the cat tumbling to the ground. As the cat drops its body turns grey and stone-like. She laughs as her arms cross along with her shadows behind her, Another statue, heh...
Deract continues to search the Druid as Lily ponders while glancing at the still woke Paladin. So what shall we do with these guys?
Nasar puts away his blades and steps up to the rogue, beginning to go through her things. ”It’s really a pity, their team has a good composition but was just not ready for a fight against us. This one has a lot of promise, I’d like to take her under my wing but I’ll let her come find us first.” Nasar looks back to the carnage and the struggling paladin. ”Lily, why not drain all of them. Would make a good punishment for them. I’m sure having to explain how they got swept, robbed, and drained would be quite the embarrassing tale. Plus the feeling of waking up feeling like death.”
Lily looks at the brutally wounded bard and druid, Any more damage to those two and they'd die, the energy I drain is from what they still have and if they are that far gone... Well we're sticking to plan is all. She looks at the half orc and now knocked out Paladin, You two however are tasty looking subjects ripe for the draining. And she gets to work as gross as it may look. Deract picks off several pieces of clothing and weapons and starts sticking them in his bag.

Nasar takes everything except the climber’s kit as he already has one and gives Marissa a thumbs up when she asks about the ring. After finagling with it to get it on his head in a comfortable position, he looks back at the...busy Lily and tries to get her attention before she drains the half-orc down to nearly nothing. ”Could always hold off on the orc, already have him on our side so why not use him for a little extra muscle until we’re done. Then you can do your thing before we leave this cave.”
Lily nods as she basically sucks the essence form the Paladin, the girl looks withered in seconds as the pathfinders now all lay in commoners clothes save for the bard who did not and now lays on the icey ground in his underwear. She looks up at the half orc and looks at Deract, Give him his s&!* back for now, your gonna help us kill that wyvern. The half orc nods.
Deract hands the barbarian back his glaive and armor and chuckles, You seem to be fond of dominating troll and orc kind. You got a secret fet- He is cut off with a dearly missed swift kick to the face sending him to the ground.
Marissa looms over the druid and moves his arms around for a minute and shoves the druids hand in his pants. Genesis sees this and confusingly walks over, Uhh... What are you doing?
Marissa struggles as she tries to prop his thumb up. I'm trying to put his own thumb up his a*^. We said we wanted to embarrass them right?
Gen is taken aback s Lily cackles in glee, Oh my god!? Is that really necessary Marissa! That is lewd and gross!
Marissa waves her off, Well you better find something to do with the others before I lay all their heads on eachothers butts like some kind of human centipede or I'm gonna lay them all up with eachother so they are emotionally scared. I'm sure the orc is going to have quiet the story of becoming a succubuss' sexual conquest so why not give everyone a funny story to take with them about the time they got duped and robbed blind. She manages to finish with the druid and looks at the paladin. Ah and the worst upset of the century is this one. She thought her power was more than ours, stupid. I wanna do something vile to this one, can I break her arm? She looks to Nasar for confirmation as a certain fury resonates within her .
Nasar looks at her and thinks for a moment as if recalling a memory. ”Ah yes, if you plant your foot just before her elbow, you should be able to easily separate the the joint in the elbow. It’s quite painful when it happens.” He then looks towards Gen to try and calm her nerves since she clearly has some sort of level of empathy left. ”Let her have her fun Gen, I’d rather her be doing that then walking around stomping their heads in anyways.”
Nasar takes out his CLW wand and those cure moderate potions and starts healing himself.
While healing himself with the pathfinders potions and his wan he looks back up to Marissa with a bit of confusion and excitement ”Wait you cursed the druid?! When did you learn how to do that? That’s awesome!”
Marissa smirks as she plants her arm on the Paladin and a heart wrenching snap can be heard as the body writhes briefly as its body goes into shock from the pain but the mind stays unconscious. She grins as she hears the sound and her shadow fades away, Its a thing among antipaladins, curses, contagions, fear, the whole nine yards an antipaldin can place em.
Gen looks with her nerves squirming from the snapping sound. Deract looks at the others, Well none of em are dead so that’s no soul gems from them. But I’ve stuffed all their crap in my backpack to sell back at home.
Lily looks around, So we fan out and try to find a secret passage huh? She makes sure the team is done defiling the pathfinders or any requests.
Nasar nods ”Yeaupp, although i’m expecting the hidden passage is actually on the other side of that tunnel. We could use our new friend as a distraction while we go through the passage.”
Lily taps her chin, Were gonna have to do some swift searching then, unless you wanna go invisible and find it first?
”Well we conveniently has some new Invisibility potions so i could sneak over while invisible and take a gander around. That’s a pretty good idea” Nasar takes out the bottle and starts walking to the “dead end” unless someone comes up with any other ideas.
Lily halts Nasar, Wait a second let me take a gander first before you waste a potion. She casts Teleport and then Ethereal Jaunt to look around in her incorporeal form. After a minute she phases back through the cavern wall and dispels her spell. So its under a cage, one dinosaur that has a huge looking bulge on its tail. She pokes her head to try and recall the name, Anklyasaurous, yea. An herbivore but that things pretty big and there is also now 2 raptors and that dino busted his friends cage apart.
Genesis looks at the natural ice formations, If that is where the wyvern lies it must've been covered up by the kobolds to reduce the temperature drop. Smart move, but now we have to dispatch those stupid dinosaurs or lure them out or away.
Deract grunts as he resaddles his bag on his back, And with the only entrance being this tiny holeeee that's gonna be difficult...
Genesis begins looking through her spell book to see if any spells would help.
Nasar scratches his head as Lily's explanation sounded a little off. "Ok so secret passage under the cage, and like 5 dinos?" Nasar looks towards Lily"Couldn't you get the anklywhatever out of its cage and teleport back here before becoming dino foo? We can let those two bigger dinos attack it. They looked like they had pretty sharp teeth which would mean they eat meat and would definitely go after an herbivore. Either they kill the anklesour and now we only worry about 4, or maybe the anklything takes out one or both of them and that could potentially lower the number to 3. Anything to make dealing with them even easier while we come up with something better."
Lily shrugs, Sure lemme see if I can’t quickly finagle the cage open, And she pops away and after a few seconds she blinks back. Well that’s done, now we wait for the dinosaurs to beat each other up. After a minute sounds are heard of bones cracking and teeth gnashing. A rock falls out the wall as one of the dinosaurs are thrown against the wall separating the team and them. After a few minutes the fight slows down and quiets.
Deract scampers under, I’ll go check it out. He scurries back in and stands up brushing off the dirt. The raptors are dead along with one of the big boys. The other one is having a feeding frenzy. Not sure which cage you opened though Lil so I’m not sure where that spot is. He looks at Nasar, That Dino looks pretty banged up, maybe we could swiftly take him out with a cooperative effort of stealth.
Lily looks at the wizard and antipaladin, Yea... if you wanted to do anything stealthy it’d pay to have us 3 wait here until you do it. If we hear a fight break out we can rush in. What do you say? The team nods and waits for Nasar.
”Sounds great, i was getting bored just standing around here. You three just wait at the tunnel in case we dont bring it down fast enough. C’mon Deract let’s put this thing down so we can finally get to the wyvern.”
Nasar takes his weapons out and makes way to the tunnel to see what’s left of the room, ready to stealth into the chamber and kill the remaining dinosaur.
The two sneak in leaving the three teammates and their dominated friend behind. As they crawl in they see an absolute bloodbath around them, several cages have been knocked over and some completely decimated by the anklyasaurous’ large tail. Feathers from the raptor lay around the area caked in blood and one raptor lays near the entrance dead on its side. The megalasaur is easily found as its massive jaw munches away at flesh and bone near the center. Deract nods to Nasar as they both sneak to the front of the area and slowly move forward.
Nasar manages to get right up against the dinosaur but as Deract comes out from behind a cage his nail scrapes the side letting out a sound that immediately grabs the attention of the megalasaur it growls at Deract while Nasar gains a surprise round.
Wow glad I brought Marissa out to stealth with me, would have resulted in the same screw up. Shouldnt take too much to bring this one down.
Nasar glares at Deract before shaking his head and cutting into the megalasaur with his kukri.
Nasar almost cuts straight to the bone almost dropping the beast as it snaps back around to bite Nasar.
Nasar however gets first strike with his insanely high initiative.
After avoiding the painfully slow chomps nasar shows the big ol dino what speed really looks like. what happens when Nasar phones it in and barely tries for a turn. Obviously giving Deract a chance to score the kill and definitely not missing the broad side of a barn.

With Nasar’s first slash he topples over the dinosaur and Deract takes the opportunity to run up and stab the Dino sending it to the afterlife. Deract yells over to the team, The deed is done! And he gives Nasar a thumbs up.
The team funnels in and looks at he mess that’s been made, Genesis walks up to the dinosaur and focuses her talisman on it. A small gem plops out the talismans mouth and she pockets it, Might as well start my collection too. Shall we be off then?
Lily walks over to the now destroyed anky cage and moves over the wood slat. A giant gust of cold wind blows out of a large gaping hole in the icy floor immediately chilling the party down to their spine. The tempurature drops to bone chilling temperatures as Marissa and Genesis put on their cold weather outfits.
Deract picks up a rock, I have no clue how deep this hole is. Should I toss this down?
Nasar cant see anything down the dark hole.
