That's unfortunate. Thanks for the experience GM Immer

So the crew wants everyone to stay together. Are there any of us that want to scout around some more first? There have to be some non-hostile inhabitants on the island.
Dristen frowns as the conversation progresses. i don't think that sailing around the island and hugging the coast is a good idea. We would be spotted easily and our skeleton crew wouldn't be able to outran many vessels. I don't want to journey back ashore but I think we need to find a safe place first, in hiding, before we declare ourselves with the ship.
Dristen states at the woman's bandaged leg. I should probably look at that soon; but you right Filios, let's get the others to the boat. Dristen helps Filios put the small boat into the water and row it to shore.
Dristen will climb on and search around the ship, trying to find the crew members. He left his shield and armor but he will have his dagger at the ready, and tag team the search with Filios.
Dristen thinks for a second. There was a 2nd boat on the ship. If I swim out I could bring it back and then we can regroup on the ship. Ariston, do you still have the swim spell? Do you think you could use it on me.
was there a 2nd launch boat on the ship?
"I know I could swim to the ship. If that boat is around here somewhere though..?" He trails off as he looks around.
Dristen peers out to the sea, a little phased by the development, but also encouraged by the idea that he could help the situation.
"Let's go after the woman as the other's thought and we'll take care of the ship as we can."
Does whoever saw the tracks want to lead us that way.
Dristen shakes his head and stares at the dead Joff. He hurries over at Ariston's rough treatment. "Be a little more gentle Ariston." Dristen carefully looks over the body. His training int Gozreh's temple had given him extensive knowledge of pre-death and post-death inspections. "See these little indents here?" Dristen points to a more disgusting agrea of Joff's wound. "It looks like one of those maces those red guys had could have done that." As the others talk about following the lady, Dristen starts getting uneasy. "Are then any tracks other than hers? What if the outsiders came here, kept going and found our boat? They could be sacking it right now?"
The wand feels familiar in Drysten's hand, like something he was meant to use. He relished the chance to use it, to feel the power amplify his own and then flow into the others. He directs his attention to that end, and misses most of the conversation around him. His hearing picks up Haggin saying to go back to the ship and he frowns. Drysten has an argument forming on his lips when Haggin declares the wand his own. The argument dies. "I can keep it?" Drysten gives it a last couple of flourishes to heal himself and then stares at Haggin again. "Thank you, Haggin. This is an enchanting gift and one I will try to use for the benefit of others." Drysten gives Haggin a small bow before sticking the wand through one of the dagger holders on his belt. "So, to the ship?"
Drysten smiles as he uses the wand. this thing is awesome Haggin! Did you make it?
Drysten steps back from gansukh and stumbles over filios. Oh, sorry Filios, her let me help
Sighing, Drysten ends his triedent spell and hurry over to Gansukh and cast Cure MOderate in place of silence.
That should help. How do you feel now, does anyone else need some??
Drysten can't overlook the injuries of his ally's this time, so sets his shield on his back and channels positive energy.
Drysten attacks the enemies now exposed back.
With the electricity searching through him, Drysten's gaze at the casters is that of longing. His first step is towards Gansukh though, and it turns into a charge at the man entangled with him.
Filios, go help Gansukh. I can handle this last one. He punctuates the sentence with a flash of light from his hand as a trident seemingly made of electricity forms in his hand. .
Drysten frowns as he is unable to duck behind his shield in time and gets hit by the mace. The wind should be more effective. Drysten decides to take another tactic, and shifts back before calling down lightning on the foe that hit him.
Drysten will hold his position, throwing a storm burst out from behind his shield and then positioning himself behind it. He aims it at the same creature just in front and to the right of him.
Drysten will whisper to Filios as he passes by, someone needs to go protect Haggin, he's stuck by himself over there.
Drysten will continue to the opening on the path, bunker down behind his shield, and throw a Storm Burst at the approaching creatures.
Drysten bunkers down in the hut, willing to let the others make the first move.
Drysten listens for a second. That sounds like... He can't finish the thought so he ducks into a hut, readying his shield.
Dristen curses and tries to shoo the bird. He looks at the others. That bird is bad luck. He looked at Quiahar and now that guy's dead. Dristen reaches for his unholy symbol and clutches it against his belt. SHOO! Go away
Dristen's eyes are wide. You could figure out a way to use these, Haggin?
I don't know, they didn't really teach us magic like that in the temple. Perhaps we should move away from this place though. Dristen points to the narrow, northern path. I vote for that path
They seem so... human. Charms, conjuring circles.... Dristen whispers more than speaks the comment.
If we are going on recon, I can help. I'm pretty fast in case we have to run away.
Do you think more of them will come here?
Do they really? I was wondering. I thought they might be religious but I didn't know demons had deities.
The others focus on the armor and gems, but Dristen's eyes are drawn to the charms.Why would demons have charm necklaces? Dristen looks them over, turning them in his hand, lost for their meaning. Uncertain and forlorn, Dristen walks over to Gansukh. 6 cubes of gold so one for each of us, right?
Dristen would fall under the weight of all of that. Are we okay doing that OOC int he discussion thread?
Thinking his burst of wind had more affect than it did, Dristen will repeat it on the other creature.
Dristen's turn: There's only two, so maybe we can take them without me hurting the others. Dristen, hiding behind the shield in his left hand, appears in the doorway of the hut and forces a blast of wind at the supposed demon in front.
Do we have a surprise round we are acting in?
Dristen will shift into his shield as quietly as possible and wait, tense for the action to start.
Dristen will nod along and position himself with his shield equipped, when the time to hide arrives that is.
Ariston, did the lady say where the devil's come from? Dristen points to the opening inland. Probably from there?
Gansukh, you know something about fighting devils, right? Do you think my negative energy will hurt them? If it does, I can hide behind my shields and hit a lot of them in the middle of the fray.
Dristen smiles and dances back and firth on his toes. I like the idea of on ambush. Ariston, can you ask them how often the slavers come?
I agree with Haggin, we can't just take them somewhere and leave them. I think we should keep exploring though. We need to learn a lot more about this place.
Dristen follows the others down the slope. He starts when he sees the two natives. Is that was a demon looks like? It looks so...human. I probably should have stayed at the temple longer to learn stuff like this. Confused, Dristen sidles up to Haggin. Is that a demon? He asks in a whisper?
Hey guys, didn't Gansukh and Filios go off on their own? The rest of us are waiting for them and likely have no idea what's going on.
Dristen will follow, taking his spot at the back.
