Magdi further enhances Jonah's arrows with spell breaking magics.
The hunter follows up with a barrage of bolts, the first one taking the green hag in the right shoulder, the second one in her belly. Each of them empowered by the spirits brought by Magdi, and the magically sharped edge causing more bleeding.
Tonny makes the hag rear with his whip, trying to help the wolf, who manages to bite the green monster without tripping her.
Adriana goes in, surrounding Tewa, and outflanking the hag with the wolf.
The blade of flames cuts through the hag, scorching her, and burning it badly.
Orleva finally collapses, the bolts lodged on her quickly bleeding her towards death.
The dead or dying bodies of the Stormreaders, who resulted to be a coven of hags, lay on the ground of the tower's top floor in front of you.
Their time of harassing the inhabitants of what remains of Lirgen have come to an end by your hand, and in front of you is the strange telescope they used to closely observe the settlement through the clouds of the storm.
Among their possessions lay a few magical possessions, for you to claim, that will sure secure a decent adventuring retirement.

Jonah kicks the hags lightly with the tip of his boot to make sure they are dead
"what a mess these three have made. in the end I suppose they just pushed things too far and had a bit too much of an opinion of their own skill. at least now the region will be safe. or safer anyways..."
He looks around at his companions.
"So what will all of you do now? This has been quite an adventure, but has brought me quite further from my home than I had ever planned to go. I think it is high time to see about putting some earnings into a more permanent home. with a wonderfully large trophy case after all of this!
The first sign of your victory is the rains and winds that have been storming the region are already on the recede.
With the job done, you pick up the wealth the hags stole and put sail back to the Lirgeni enclave. There, you find out without the Stormbird, and with the catapults and allies you have gathered, the dragon Kaijong and the oceanid Erissala, the forces of the Stormreaders have been repelled with only minor damage. The remaining Lirgeni are already rebuilding the homes destroyed in the attacks.
"Thanks a lot for aiding our community. Gozreh blessed us with your timed arrival" Vancen thanks you for your help and rewards you with a cut of the artifacts you have recovered, offering you access to keep exploring the sunken ruins if you so wish.
With the aberrant weather patterns resolved for good, the oceanic predators can return to the deeper sea. The monster frenzies subside over the next several days.
Some of you remain in the enclave to further study the lost Hyrantam city and their culture, while others help rebuild the enclave. When Jonah states his interest to settle down, Adriana smiles back at Tewa "For myself I might well look to embark into a new adventure and see where the winds and currents bring me"
The hunter builds a home with his found wealth, setting in his home the best trophies of the big predators he fought in the jungles around Pridon's Hearth. It makes for a pride display and ensures a well trove of good stories to come to his mind when visits ask for this or that piece.
The Eye of Abendego remains as a mysterious menace in the region, but thanks to the adventurers' heroics, the menace of the cults that study the Eye to take control of the weather for their own plans, both the Storm Kindlers and the Stormreaders, is defeated, and the region is a safer and more prosperous place for years to come.
