After making absolutely sure that Captain Vanse is dead and gone, Merituuli releases his concentration on the entangling seaweed around the corpse, letting it wither and fall apart into mush which then dries into a fine dust. He moves quickly, assisting Artanis in opening the heavy gates while shrouded in the silence provided by Coltan's holy magic. Once the deed is done, he allows Coltan to enchant a few of his crossbow bolts with emerald light and fires them into the air, giving the signal for Lieutenant Raven and her forces to move into the fort. He lets out a deep sight of relief once the fort is fully claimed, finally holstering his heavy crossbow and shaking off the tenseness in his muscles. With the fort reclaimed, Merituuli takes some time to introduce himself and his osprey companion to his new allies. Grinning broadly, he says, "Well met, and thanks for the assist! I'm Merituuli, and this is my friend Kalasääski. Were you all in the fort when it was originally captured?" The blue-skinned sea elf is earnest and friendly, asking Vigdan, Arlo, Fairla, and Lanal about how they ended up in this predicament and inquiring on their personal skills. Kalasääski, meanwhile, studies each of them carefully before letting out a series of satisfied chirps - the osprey is clearly more intelligent than a normal animal, and lightly-glowing runes along their wingtips add to the feeling that Kalasääski is not your average osprey. As he sees Coltan begin to dress the dragonnel, Merituuli joins in, using his whalebone dagger to its fullest. "Can't say I've ever dressed a dragon, but I'd assume a sea serpent is close enough..." OOC Alert: Other creatures don't gain advantage on attack rolls against you as a result of being unseen by you.

No objections on my end, makes sense to me. Meri would take a set of RDA scale mail and a shield for disguise purposes. Anyone else want the Vicious Heavy Crossbow? I'm at the point where a longbow makes more sense for me having multiple attacks, but I'll take it if no one else wants it.

Taliesin's well-placed spell had put two of the ettercaps into a deep slumber, while the final one was attempting to lead the horse away on its own. The remaining giant spider assaults him, but he blocks its fangs easily with his shield. He gives both Sulesdeg and Carlona a nod before moving away from the spider towards the remaining ettercap, intentionally leaving himself open to entice the spider to attack him and trigger the retributive fury of his icy armor. He dashes ahead with Wendibear, the shapeshifted druid barely slowed by the webbing hocked at her snout, and slams the head of his warhammer into the ettercap's side. It is not the strongest blow, but Theodoric further infuses it with the divine fury of Tyr, resulting in a burst of radiant energy! OOC Day 8 Combat! Movement: Away from the giant spider to the ettercap, intentionally provoking an Opportunity Attack. Might trigger Armor of Agathys! Bonus Action: None. Action: Attack ettercap 2 with warhammer. Adding Divine Smite on hit! Total of 6 bludgeoning and 6 radiant damage.

The pompous noble and his retainers may not be dragon cultists, but they had the capability to be just as problematic. Looking to Rahnur, he says in a low tone, "We'll need to watch that one. Take care." If the knight was fool enough to try anything, well... Theodoric knew many ways to punish the wicked. Day 4: Payback Theodoric makes an effort to appear like he's barely listening to Daniella as she relays her information about the Cult wagon, idly polishing his shield. Her comments on Carlona do draw a response in return - "Understood, and agreed. Though this 'lost mutt' may be more loyal than expected." He glances pointedly at Wendy's staff, then back at Daniella, hoping she would get the idea. Later, during the private talk with Carlona, the mention of Selebon by name helps to put Theodoric further at ease. "It seems our journeys and alliances align. I may not Harp, but I walk with my allies all the same. If our enemy is the same as well, I am more than happy to assist in your vengeance." Day 8: Spider Woods Despite their best efforts, the ettercaps begin to make significant distance from the caravan, riding the horses into the woods beyond. Theodoric instead turns his attention to the spider attempting to bear down on him, slamming his warhammer into the cluster of eyes atop the arachnid's head. OOC Day 8 Combat! Movement: None at the moment. Bonus Action: None. Action: Smack the spider that tried to bite me.

Merituuli watches as his allies make short work of the dragonnel and leave the captain in a vulnerable position - pushed off the wall and prone on the ground. Before taking aim with his heavy crossbow, he commands Kalasääski to harry Captain Vanse, causing the officer to sit up slightly to swat the osprey away and giving the sea elf an easier target. Merituuli takes aim and fires the bolt at the perfect moment, weaving through his allies and piercing Captain Vanse's armor. Suddenly, the bolt explodes into a tangle of razor-sharp seaweed that wraps around the Red Dragon Army officer, leaving him restrained and writhing on the ground!

Merituuli breathes a sigh of relief as the draconian falls, but his relief falters quickly as the fiend's remains twist into a screaming visage of its killer - Coltan. Staring at the mockery of his dwarven ally, he can only manage to say "The hells?!" in an incredulous, disgusted tone. His attention is only pulled away by the sudden arrival of the Red Dragon Army officer atop a... miniature red dragon? He ducks as they fly overhead and watches their upwards ascent carefully. Loading another bolt into his heavy crossbow, Merituuli studies the dragonnel for a moment before calling on the magic of the baculite shell strapped to his back and imbuing the bolt with power. With a muttered "I hope this works..." he takes aim and fires at the draconic mount. The bolt flies true, but is just barely stopped by the beast's breastplate barding. Merituuli maintains concentration on the spell, ready to imbue the next bolt he loads. OOC Alert: Other creatures don't gain advantage on attack rolls against you as a result of being unseen by you.

With the bugle retrieved from the wood elf soldier, Merituuli is about to turn his attention towards the human soldier in melee with him, until "Lurden" jumps from the wall and shape-shifts into a massive silver-scaled draconian. The sea elf's eyes widen in surprise as a realization dawns on him - It looked like a Kalaman soldier just a moment ago... could they already have spies among us? Not that the realization did him much good, in the moment. Turning his attention back towards the Red Dragon Army soldier, he finds that the enemy has already been taken out through a combination of Modri's wild magic and Coltan's display of faith! Unable to close into melee with the draconian, Merituuli instead sheathes his whalebone dagger and retrieves his heavy crossbow, loading a bolt in and taking careful aim over his new ally Lanal. The bolt flies just barely true, landing in the sivak's upper chest, and a sudden gust of wind pushes it in just a bit further as Merituuli marks the draconian with nature's fury! With a whistle, the sea elf commands his osprey companion to follow up on his shot. OOC Alert: Other creatures don't gain advantage on attack rolls against you as a result of being unseen by you. Concentration: Favored Foe Bonus Action: Command companion to Take Action. Action: Two attacks vs. RDAS4. After Coltan's Spirit Guardians, I believe he has ONE measly hit point left. Nope, he dead!

Pressed up against the wall, Merituuli is able to avoid the notice of the nearest human soldier... but the wood elf is a different story. The shoal elf eyes the horn the elven soldier carries, and quietly curses under his breath. The whole fort will be on us if they blow that horn... gotta take them out, fast! Hunni's attempt at magical suggestion gives Merituuli a bit of hope, but after a tense moment the soldier is able to shake off the effect. But then the sudden appearance of a white-cloaked human woman from the north catches his immediate attention, and with a weaving of magic the soldier suddenly begins to go stock-still! Taking full advantage of the situation, Merituuli steps forward and reveals himself before swinging his whalebone dagger towards the horn in an attempt to knock it out of the wood elf's hand! His first attempt is unsuccessful as the elven soldier uses their final moments of movement to pull the horn out of the way, but with another swing the horn flies out of the soldier's grasp! He gives a broad smile and nod to the white-cloaked mage before commanding his osprey companion to slash at the paralyzed wood elf with their talons.

Merituuli is ready to throw open the door before he hears two voices atop the wall to their west. He grimaces as the dwarven soldier just barely spots Coltan and rushes off to warn what sounds to be a commanding officer, while the human begins making their way towards their location. Seeing Coltan place one of the tabards over his armor, Merituuli thinks for a moment before whispering, "Coltan, you might be able to intercept the soldier and fool them into thinking you're one of them wearing that tabard - you or Artanis would be the best for the job. I'd stick out like a sore thumb, unfortunately. If it goes bad, just give us a signal and we'll rush in." The arrival of two figures from the north puts a wrinkle in the plan, however - a bald, dark-skinned man and a kender who sidle up near Hunni and Modri. He catches bits of the kender's questions to Hunni and relays to Artanis and Coltan in a whisper, "I think we might have some newfound friends, judging from that kender saying 'Red Dragon Meanies' and asking if we know where his hoopak went." The sea elf gives a small, cautious wave over to the two newcomers, remaining pressed up by the door.

The creature regains a number of hit points equal to the total rolled. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. • Light Bearer: You know the light cantrip. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for it. • Celestial Revelation - Radiant Consumption: Once per long rest, you can use a bonus action to transform using your revelation which lasts for one minute or until you end it as a bonus action. Searing light temporarily radiates from your eyes and mouth. For the duration, you shed bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet, and at the end of each of your turns, each creature within 10 feet of you takes radiant damage equal to your proficiency bonus. Until the transformation ends, once on each of your turns, you can deal extra radiant damage to one target when you deal damage to it with an attack or a spell. The extra damage equals your proficiency bonus. • Divine Sense: As an action, you can open your awareness to detect strong presences. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any celestial, fiend, or undead within 60 feet of you that is not behind total cover. Within the same radius, you also detect the presence of any place or object that has been consecrated or desecrated, as with the hallow spell. Can be used a number of times per day equal to 1 + Charisma mod. • Lay on Hands: You have a pool of healing power that replenishes on a long rest with hit points equal to paladin level x 5.

You can choose to do so after the roll but before knowing the result. • Harness Divine Power: You can expend a use of your Channel Divinity to fuel your spells. As a bonus action, you touch your holy symbol, utter a prayer, and regain one expended spell slot, which can be no higher than level 1.

He was growing to like his "employer" more and more by the day - the intimidation factor of a goblin turning into a massive bear was easy for him to appreciate and respect. The grin turns to a scowl at the implications Dravish throws towards Edhelri, and his radiant eyes narrow to pinpricks behind the thin cloth covering his eyes as the pompous noble's knight threatens Wendy. A dark chuckle escapes his lips, and with a sadistic smile he answers Ninnywithers with, "Try anything, and it will be your final mistake." After a long, tense moment, he gives a nod to Edhelri before turning and following behind Wendy. While the praise from the other caravan riders is appreciated, he does not gloat in it - a simple nod and word of thanks are his usual answer. Day 4: Payback Though still wary of the woman, Theodoric is relieved to see that her loyalties seemingly lie with the Harpers, and that she was heading towards Waterdeep herself. Perhaps an advance scout infiltrating a Cult wagon, then. The offer to help in a fight doesn't hurt, either. He allows the others with deeper Harper ties to reveal their allegiances in their own way, and remains the watchful eye for now. Day 8: Spider Woods Clad in prismatic ice, Theodoric practically barrels through the ettercap and two spiders blocking the way, almost daring them to strike him, and closes into melee with one of the ettercaps stealing Achreny's horses. A raised hammer and challenge in Celestial of, "Adoian ol!" forms a radiant chain between himself and the ettercap that fades over a moment, and he swings his warhammer at the disgusting arachnoid creature! OOC Day 8 Combat! Movement: 15' through the enemy front-line to one of the horse-stealing ettercaps, provoking Opportunity Attacks and potentially triggering Armor of Agathys! Bonus Action: Cast Compelled Duel on the ettercap he's in melee with! It will need to make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be affected. Action: Attack the ettercap with my warhammer!
