Absolutely understandable. Take all the time you need. Hope things get better.

Elowen moves to the front at the very edge of the light where her ability r peer through the dark would be an advantage.
Nodding at the report, Elowen quickly climbs down after Odelai, hearing the faint sound of metal hitting stone once she reaches the bottom. Quietly she moves forward into the darkness to make room for the others, ready to fight should their arrival be noticed.
Elowen prepares to climb down once the all-clear is given of any ambush.
Sure
"This isn't far from where the group of kobolds were waiting for us if we climbed down the chain." Elowen points out. "It's about a 20ft drop, easy with some rope, I doubt everyone could handle the jump down."
With the children and Edgrin all gathered together, Elowen calls upon the newly blossoming wellspring of verdant energy within her, glowing fragrant spores, like magical pollen, fill the air around her healing the wounds of those around her as they breathe, and filling them with a momentary peaceful sense of calm.
Definitely understand.
"I suppose I can carry the hammer if Svetlana is unwilling to touch it." Elowen says, approaching the weapon and picking it up.
Get some rest.
I now have access to some limited healing for the group (channeling 3x/day with the Life spirit, and can now add quite a bit to melee between summoning leshies to fight and my spirit plant being way more formidable.
In the aftermath of the battle, Elowen seems distracted, drawn to an odd spot in the dirt of the chamber. Kneeling, she brings her hands to the ground, digging her fingers into the earth, her body shuddering as she suddenly seems to be drawing sustenance from the contact. Within a few moments, she appears more vibrant than most mortals, her skin seems to pulse with a healthy glow, the leaves and flowers in her hair growing and blossoming, filling the air around her with the scent of forest flowers, as her plant companion, the living vine entwined around her begins to grow and thicken as well.
She watches the shifting faces in the chains with an unsettled look before her eyes fall on the hammer, studying the shiny black metal. "Hmmm...the hammer seems to be made of adamantine...rare, mostly used by dwarves."

"It sucked up the fire! I doubt you can hurt it with flame." Elowen shouts to Penelope as she hurls the last of her thorn javelins
That's awesome!
Elewen hurls one javelin after another to follow Penelope's arrows, though with far less accuracy.
Moving around the bend, Elowen takes in the scene, her expression darkening at the sight of the child chained up on the ground. Quickly she casts a now familiar spell, converting a simple sharp thorn to a wicked javelin. preparing to attack the monster hammering away at their vile work.
Elowen simply holds her staff, ready for a fight.
Staring into the smoking, sweltering cave, Elowen's face takes on a grim, resolute expression. Uttering an incantation, she holds a piece of bark in her hand that begins to spark, smolder, and is quickly consumed. The odor of char clears as tiny seedlings sprout from her arms, face, and every other inch of her body, to be replaced just as quickly by an overgrown, mossy bark.
Hope things get better.
"Probably, but if the ghouls are attacking the kobolds as well as us, it increases our chances." Elowen replies.
Elowen takes a few steps down the hall, hurling a javelin at the remaining ghoul, but is unable to come anywhere near her target in the chaos.
"Something else is here...things... sounds like predators eating, but they just stopped." Elowen whispers.
Elowen quickly dashes into the room the kobolds were looking into. "In here! They need help." she says plunging into the dark room.
"Alright, just stay close, and stay behind me." Elowen says to Jeva
"Jeva, you can stay with them, it should be safe here with Pounce, or you can come along with us as we go to get the others. Your choice." Elowen says quickly as she moves to follow Svetlana.
Yeah stealth is pretty pointless now. Sorry been out of town. Back now.
seeing the kobolds, Elowen begins to chant, drawing out a wicked thorn and infusing it with magic as it grows to the size of a javelin.
"Well whatever is behind the wall knows we're here now." Elowen mutters.
"Thre's something...on the other side of the wall....can't quite make out what I'm hearing but something is making noise." Elowen says, pointing to the dead-end wall.
"Do we want to see what is hidden by the stone, or move on?" Elowen asks, looking at the others in the grip of indecision.
How is the maul attached to the anvil? By the hammer end or the handle?
Elowen feels some of the tension drain from her shoulders as the door slides back into the wall, revealing Jenkin to be unharmed. "That will be useful, the wand especially!" she comments, considering the hazards they'd encountered down here so far, and how many of the children might be hurt.
"That is not good!" Elowen says with much concern i her voice, as Jenkin is pulled in, the door slamming shut as it happens.
"Or some creature with a preference for brains." Elowen replies, considering the possibility of a more natural predator.
"Makes sense." Elowen says as they creep forward, taking in the headless skeletons. "What have they done with the heads?"
Sorry for your loss.
"Behind the door, there's rats feeding on a body. Looks long dead." the shamaness whispers after peering into the dark room through the barely open door.
Deaths Adorable Apprentice:
Looking at the scene with disgust, Elowen moves with the others, keeping an eye out for any sudden trouble.
I'm truly sorry to hear that. My condolences.
The issue is that standard item distribution in a party with non-standard character builds always favors items being useful to the most standard character. (Closest to base Fighter/Cleric/Rogue/Wizard)
"The real question is, did what did this take the children, or do the same to them somewhere else?" Elowen says with deep concern.
"Even if it didn't, having a slow-moving creature that eats every living thing it touches is a rather good defense." Elowen replies. "The armor could be useful for somebody."
Ah okay, wasn't sure if we killed it or not
Elowen takes a few steps back, another stream of burning fire shooting from her eyes into the gelatinous creature.
Initially confused as to what exactly they were facing, Elowen watches in horror as Jenkin is sucked in by the massive gelatinous creature, the understanding of what happened to the owner of the floating armor coming clear. With a uttered invitation, the shaman draws upon the burning heat of the sun, the warmth and light she'd absorbed constantly. Her eyes burn like hot coals as she stares deep into the translucent mass, sending beams of sizzling heat into it.
I don't think a bite attack was the best idea Svetlana,
Is it still as far off as it appears on the map?
Well we just found the skill that the entire party is lacking. Lol
