Chuggin' Along

Alright I think, as you mentioned in the discord Olan, that this round I'll just do my order of operations here since it's pretty standard cleric business, and then recap Rosariel's thoughts and things in the next round to keep things moving along.

Rosariel's priorities:

1. Spam cure lights as needed

2. Recast Faerie Fire to get the owlbears and as many of the other enemies as possible without hitting allies.

3. I'd like to give Arathea Aid or Barkskin, whichever seems more optimal in the moment (I don't know her AC so if Barkskin would make it worse, obvi go with Aid), but only if/when she gets into a more stable condition.
---3a. Same for Ruadhrí, pending their HP

4. If Rosariel's getting messed up she'll cast Sanctuary on herself sooner than later and continue spamming her friends with cure lights.

5. If somehow, some way everyone is looking stable for a round, she'll whip out her bow and try to get an angle on something that would be least likely for her to hit an ally if she missed lol priority is old crazy man (not Eol).

"...old crazy man (not Eol)"

I love how there needs to be a distinction.

actions ahead

Priority 1. is to cure light wounds on Arathea, then heal people who can benefit to the fullest (meaning little/no HP from the heal would be wasted, no using it on papercuts) for the rest of this sequence.

Priority 2, assuming people get stable enough (as in, no one is moderate health or lower) she can step away, is to cast Aid on our bull man to support him a little better.

Priority 3, if somehow heals and aid are finished, is to move in pursuit of the man, if he hasn't already been stopped/gotten away

I'll go ahead and make a fun post now

You can understand why I went ahead and posted after one round.  This is... bad.

Stats wise?

Arathea is seriously injured.

Ruadhrí is moderately injured.

Mae'rel has used three level one slots.

Rosariel has used three level one slots.

Seleliniel has used two level two slots.

function over flavor

in light of the development, S is going to try to double nerf the owlbear caught in her web - her next turn she will cast the inverted enlarge spell on the enwebbed owlbear to try to keep it detained as long as possible (on the assumption that shrunkbear = lower strenght = less progress through the web), after that, she will devote 100% of her firepower to downing Ruadhri's owlbear (i.e., magic missile to the FACE). If action economy allows, the turn immediately before the shrunkbear appears as if it's going to break free, she will direct the flaming sphere toward the enwebbed bear, trying to both directly damage the shrunkbear and maybe squeeze a little extra damage out of the enflamed web fibers. 

if amid all the chaos she can toss her belt dagger to Arathea, she will throw it at her feet and spare her a very quick, "you're still our leader, don't fall apart."

quick asides...

Neither Roasariel nor Isilmewen, with their decades spent in the forests, have ever seen mushrooms like the ones the ancient one summoned.  They have a twisted, almost unreal quality to them.  They are not the same as those that animated the corposes, incidentally.

Speaking of which - as Ruadhrí begins to calm down post-fight, he notices that his wounds from those corposes absolutely itch something fierce.  They itch worse than the rest of his significant wounds hurt.

Whew!!!

Firstly, hooray for living!

Secondly, Dak is soooooooo sorely tempted to take that fancy sword!!! I seriously doubt he will, of course, as that would be akin to rubbing Arathea's nose in it... but daaaaaaammmmnnnn wouldn't that fetch a bloody FORTUNE from the right buyer? His sticky little fingers are just itching!

An actual bladesinger sword, with centuries of use, all of those inscriptions and such?  Yes, someone would pay a lot of money for such a thing.

again?

So, we are only waiting on Alan to post.  In the meantime, this should trigger an update to our Discord channel.  With any luck, it will include a link to the thread.

Woohoo for new and improved!

a chance to respond...

I considered pushing the narrativeon, but I know there was some desire to get in some roleplay at camp, so I paused here to allow just that.

As always, feel free to question me as needed.
