With his spellstrike recharged and the path clear Toasty! finally moves up and goes for Rhenei.

Toasty! smacks Rhenei with his staff. Fire burns the poor Ysoki almost to a crisp. Rhenei screams in pain, which fuels his anger.

Summoning his powers, Rhenei unleashes fire on the Pathfinders.

"How do you like that?!" Rhenei snarls, as Erlam drops to the mat.

Henri steps away from Dura and sends his scimitar after Rhenei. It connects, but Rhenei is still holding on. Henri casts shield.

Dura stabs Akame, trying to hold off the inevitable.

Toasty! gets all toasty, basking in the fire they recharge their spell strike and try to finish off Rhenei.

Mercifully, Toasty! bonks Rhenei's head and puts him out of his misery (all of 1 hp left). Akame continues to work on Dura, but, even with Naga-kun's assistance, fails to connect.

Henri heals himself. He moves his mystical scimitar to Dura but it doesn't hit.

"Not as easy as hitting a poor Ysoki, is it?" she taunts. Dura then concentrates on Akame.

But it seems that Dura is right. He focuses on healing Akame this time.

Toasty! recharges his spellstrike and bonks Dura on the head. Dura growls in frustration. She steps and goes after Henri first to keep the healer down.

◆ Raise Shield

Akame takes advantage of the flank Dura walked into and strikes. Dura's eyes widen as Akame's blade buries itself in her chest and she drops to the mat.

Oraelia groans in dismay as Marcos roars in delight. Immediately both masters rush to the downed combatants and revive them with potions of healing. Everyone is bundled off to the sitting room and it doesn't take long that everyone is completely healed and enthusiastically chatting about the combat.

All in all, Marcos is pleased and impressed with the way you handled yourselves, both in the challenges and how you dealt with the Students. He offers you the comfort of the Lodge for the night.

"Stay the night if you wish. I'll be staying on for a few days to settle up with Orlaelia and close up the Lodge. Meanwhile, let's eat! There are some taverns here that you should not miss."

Marcos arranges for magnificent feast at one of Restov’s finest taverns for everyone to celebrate new friendships made, challenges overcome, and to toast to new alliances.

Thanks for playing all!!

Thanks to the GM and my fellow players for a great time!
