The Huge Greater Fire Elemental roars in anger.  It grabs and burns the captain’s body in rage.  Sharshek and Black sands decide they need to get out of there.  Sharshek finds it hard to breathe, as several ribs are broken and possibly an arm.  However –he is alive!Slowly, Cedious redirects his feather fall to a safer landing area than within the reach of the fire.  As he lands, he sprints for the trees where he can see Taskerdoo with his dinosaurs.  With the exception of some minor scratches and scrapes they seem okay.  The 1-inch of snow has been melted away within thirty feet of the crash site already.  Black sands helps the human fighter out of the wreck and towards the forest.  The elemental continues to burn more of the deck and bodies in rage.They don’t look back as the run away.  They don’t see the Claw ship and hope it has crashed and has taken Keltis and the woman with it.About a half of a mile away they stop and rest.  Healing potions are handed out to those in the most need.  They review the options decide to press forward.</blockquote>
