"Mind yourself around the elderly, ruffians!" Ida scolds the crowd.
She hate to rely on magic, but battered and bruised and having used all of her own healing on Kazza, she quaffs the healing potion they gave her at the lodge. Meanwhile, she continues looking for a better path than the one she just tried.
"Ow ow ow! What with this storms!?" Pooka exclaims as the storm rages all around. Seeing that Fran has moved to help the injured intern, Pooka focuses her attention on trying to keep the crowd situation from getting any worse.
"Keeps calm and keeps movings and don't steps on peoples!"

Annoyed by the jostling he's taking, Ulfgar narrows his eyes, rolls his neck until it cracks and tries again.
With a small bit of healing the Caretaker stands up. "Thanks for that. Name's Agrid." His eyes look wide with fright, "While I was cleaning the entryway, I saw an intruder with a single glowing red eye appear in a burst of black energy. I came out here for help, it..it..." He looks through the crowd. "I don't see anyone else from the Museum out here. They must still be inside, please hurry!"
Obstacle #3 Wind
Powerful winds blow from the Blakros Museum’s entrance which will make it very diffuclt to get inside.
Each PC needs two successful checks (or one critical success) to get through the wind. Appropriate skills include a DC 17 Athletics check to muscle through the wind, a DC 18 Nature check to anticipate the wind’s surges, or a DC 17 Absalom Lore or Society check to plan a path that utilizes local features as windbreaks.
Society (DC 17):1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7Nope, let's Hero Point that! Society (DC 17; HP Reroll):1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Society (DC 17):1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
"Oh dangs, uh..."
For a moment, Pooka seems completely lost on what to do or how to proceed against the strong winds. She looks around helplessly but then you finally see the light dawn in her eyes as the brain-fart passes and she realizes that there's a way forward after all, by utilizing the features of the area.
"Waits, I's got it! Slow and steadys, ducks behind stuffs to catch breath and gather strengths!"

Ulfgar scowls. He spits to the side, watching where the glob goes, then tucks his finger into his mouth before drawing it out. He looks off into the distance thoughtfully then gives a nod and starts moving.
Several of you make decent progress through the driving winds and rain. Pooka ducks low and makes it to the doors of the Museum but noone else is behind Pooka.
Ida gets pushed back and makes no progress.
Storm Damage (Everyone):1d4 ⇒ 2Krazza takes 4 damage for the crit fail.
You all are still trying to get through the wind.

Ulfgar glares at the wind as though it is personally trying to annoy him.
He gives up on the fancy way and goes back to just trying to plow through it.
Everyone makes it to the door except for Ida as the group stands waving her towards them. Just a little bit further.
Storm Damage (Everyone):1d4 ⇒ 4
Ida is still trying to get through the wind. Just one roll this time as you get 5 chances then make it through.

Entering the museum none of the patrons are to be found, though it is evident something nasty is upstairs as it is making quite a racket. The sound is coming from the cyclopean exhibit on the museum’s second floor, accessible by two wide stairwells.

Pooka shakes her fist at the heavens and whoever or whatever is conjuring the foul storm, grabs hold of anyone who might've been dropped by the lightning, and hustles for the inside as fast as she can go.
Once inside, she's not thrilled by all the commotion she hears from upstairs but her immediate focus is on her allies. "Ows...we gottas patch up before we goes any further..."

Fran dives out of the way. She glares at the heavens and at the smoking spot on the floor where she'd been standing earlier. "Something tells me this storm ain't normal" she grumbles.

One of the advantages of being a dwarf is that they're usually someone taller around to attract lightning. Ulfgar twists away instinctively as the electricity streaks down.
He looks up at the commotion then at everyone's battered condition after going through the storm. He raises one eyebrow inquiringly.
As the crash of lightning subsides most of you remaining standing, if not for a few hairs standing on end. Ida is the only one to collapse from the painful blast and will need some immediate medical attention.

My HP count is definitely off, but I think you may have missed that Ida drank a healing potion here. Unless these rounds were meant to be tight enough that wasn't feasible? In which case I'll use it now... all the same in the end.
"Too hot, too cold, never just right," Ida mutters as she pulls herself up. "Thank y'lass. Here, have a cookie. That one's just a cookie, I think."
Seeing that Black Molly has tended to Ida, Pooka turns her attention to the injured Krazza. "Here, holds stills..."
Soothe (Krazza):1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
"Hmph! That didn't work as wells as it should haves," she scowls as she tries again.
Soothe (Krazza):1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
"Okay, that's a little more likes it! Now, for mes..." the goblin mutters as she digs out her healing potions and chugs them down.
Minor Healing Potion (Self):1d8 ⇒ 5 Minor Healing Potion (Self):1d8 ⇒ 7
"Good enoughs for now!"

That should put Krazza at 19/29 and Pooka at 30/40. Ida's also now at 14/24 since she got into the museum with 2 HP and then Molly healed her for an additional 12.

Ulfgar will try some homeopathic remedies on himself.
Nature:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Healing:2d8 ⇒ (8, 5) = 13
Then, drink one of the potions given to him at the beginning of the mission.
She puts away her tools and takes out a vial containing a cheery, bubbly liquid. "Doesn't anyone want some poison, though? For your weapon, Fran dear? I have a sneaking suspicion that we could run into more undead, but also whoever's doing these things. Who I hope isn't undead, because I fear I might not be much help if they are..."
I've got two doses of spear frog poison available.
"You are all so kind...sorry for letting us down. Seeing Gyagati desecrated has me shaken but now I feel much better. It is time I face his wrath and bring him back to us." Krazza says, taking a potion of his own.
Anymore healing potions, ect you plan on doing please do in your next post.
Getting some last minute healing in but not wanting to waste too much time you rush up the stairs to the Cyclopean exhibit.
Across the exhibit hall is a black stone obelisk. As you watch, it’s pulled from its plinth and clutched in the arms of a robed cyclops with a gleaming red eye. In a pulse of black energy, the merged figure disappears with their prize.
Lightning crashes through the skylight and strikes the floor in the center of the exhibit, leaving a smoldering symbol burnt in the floor and two strange creatures: a gray bear with crackling fur and a tiny, cackling troll with horns and a lolling, spiked tongue.
She attempts to add a flourish to her song to get it to linger but can't quite give it enough power to do so. Still, the song is oddly inspiring just the same.
Now, what are you things?
The goblin peers at the strange bear and the trolls, trying to recall if she knows anything about them.

Ida moves a little closer, trying to get a look at what they're dealing with.
* Stride
* Recall Knowledge (hopefully Arcana, Crafting, Occultism, or Society at +8... Nature or Religion just +2; main question is whether poison can work against these enemies)
* Recall Knowledge (same)
Pooka moves inot the doorway, shielding herself as she leaves quite the inspiring presence. Fran holds back, waiting for the creatures to react. Ida follows Pooka and tries to understand what the group is dealing with exactly.
Ida doesn't recognize the spark trolls at all but the Storm Bear seems to stir some old memories. Being a beast poison will indeed hurt it. The bear is also able to emit a thunderous roar damaging everything within 10 feet of it with a sonic boom.
Black Molly moves and tosses a statue from the wall at the bear.
