I'm OK with retiring Tyrion, only because he has such a unique background that I want to flesh out. I know that is more work on your end PM, but as unsatisfied as I was with the mechanics of him I immensely enjoyed his background.

So, even if he is healed back up to full via his wand, he can remain unconscious and rest at the closest town till he wakes up as an NPC. Trauma and all that.

"Shadaw was flying around invisible," Ru assures the panicking bard. "If the two of us managed to slip those buggers crashing through the undergrowth, there's no eyes short of Bashu's that could have caught him."

As if on cue, a small viper slithers into view. Ru jumps a moment, until he recognizes Nora.

"No idea if you can understand me, Scaly, but you recognize our scent, I'm sure? So, maybe you let your master know how to find us, and we can go ... er, check on the others." he finishes with a furtive glance to Damaris. The southerner held out little hope, but the young bard's grip on her nerves didn't need to know that.

[sblock=ooc]Okay, I think this manages to pull us together without derailing previous posts or forcing SS21's character to do anything in my post. Thuvian was flying, so he would have been able to get much further than Ru and Damaris before his invisibility faded and he had to find cover. If Nora was heading toward the camp, she could reasonably have been coming from behind Ru and Damaris, and while they don't technically have the Scent ability, snakes do have good scent on their tongues; seems reasonable she'd have noticed two familiar scents and come to check it out on her way.

Now Thuvian has a way to find us now that he's not airborne, and we can all return to the battlefield in a post or two. :) [/sblock]

~ Day 13, 16:01 - In the Darkwood ~

Thuvian awaited Nora’s return and received empathic feelings of relief before the little viper would have had time to return to the battlefield yet. He also received feelings that he should come and join her.

[/sblock][sblock=GM Notes]No worries, JS45. Here are the tallies for retiring them as of 3 Feb. It will mess up using the spreadsheets again, but I will need to start a new one with the new characters anyway.

Based on Amien's departure date of 26 Dec
Tyrion 6352 Start + 3652 TBX + 1380 Enc = 11684XP; 1462 Enc + 1209 TBG = +4459gp (includes 2 DMC)
Lai Tai 6150 Start + 2398 TBX + 1380 Enc = 9928XP; 1462 Enc + 2725 TBG = +4187gp
I updated the 1st Post[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]Sorry about the delay. Winter's first major snowstorm for the area combined with the normally hectic part of my weekly work schedule is not a good combination when working a pizza delivery place. 15 hour days may be good for the paycheck, but my body does not care for them.[/sblock]

Pressing forward carefully, Thuvian floats down beside his remaining companions as the last of the fly spell wears off, looking as stoic as ever as he speaks to Nora briefly before she keeps moving back toward the battlefield. "It would appear that we have chosen a busy day to visit this area. I suggest we wait here until Nora can verify that it is finally free of further activity."

Ru breaks into a smile as Thuvian lands near the pair.

"See, Princess? One less body to feel guilty about. Good to see you, Shadow," Ru says, offering a hand to the tiefling.

"Yeah, seems like Kaedyn maybe missed a faction or two from the sound of things. Scaly's going to be sneakier than me at this point. I'm exhausted. I'm fine hanging back until she sniffs the place out."

The southerner leans up against a nearby tree, looking relaxed as he waits, though his twin blades never do return to their sheathes, and anyone paying attention notices his eyes constantly scan the group's surroundings.

[sblock=ooc]Once we get a "no one here trying to kill people" from the snake, assume Ru goes with Thuvian to check things out, and drags Damaris along with, though he'll likely try to make sure he's standing in her line of sight when it comes to what he assumes will be (but I know won't be) the bodies of their comrades.[/sblock]

[sblock] Assume Damaris will follow along and offer to use their wands of clw to heal them if they wish. She's still a little too shaken up. Hopefully I'll be back on Monday. [/sblock]
 

~ Day 13, 16:01 - In the Darkwood ~

Nora slithered off towards the scene of the battle. The woods were quiet in the aftermath, no sounds of the hooves or yelling.

[/sblock][sblock=GM Note]No worries, SS21. Soulnova is still on vacation and I am looking to be pretty busy for 2-3 days over the weekend. With Systole and JS45 working on characters and needing them approved, we are probably good with our current pace as I have some behind the scenes things that need doing too.

So feel free to RP interact with each other for a few days. Monday or Tuesday Nora can return without feeling any danger at the battlefield.[/sblock]

Ru cracks his neck a moment, pulling the wand from his belt and asking Damaris, "Princess, mind helping me out with some of the holes those bloody tieflings put in me?

The young bard complies easily, and after three touches with the wand, Ru nods his thanks.

"Much better. Thanks, love."

[sblock=ooc]CLW Wand hits (1d8+1=5, 1d8+1=3)

Healed 8, to 26

CLW Wand again (1d8+1=8)

Another 8, to 34, sticking with that.[/sblock]

Thuvian doesn't even seem to notice his wounds as he sits down against a nearby tree and pulls out a journal, quietly writing in it as he waits for Nora to return. "I suppose once we confirm the state of the battlefield we should head back to that village. Even if we knew where the wizard's door was, it would be suicide to pick up the weapon with just the three of us, and while I'm all for heroic death and all that jazz under the right circumstances, our employer may get a bit annoyed if we were to waste the deaths of our fellow companions is such a callous manner."
