Episode 6: We still need to work on our teamwork

So when we last left our adventurers, we were having breakfast and getting going for the day. Also Meghan had cast an unknown spell on everyone in the party. Unfortunately this event took place a bit too far back for me to remember all the details.

Malek and Vohn went ahead to set Vohn's improvised explosive trap at the main entrance to the cave. Paul went with them for communication again. That went well and Vohn didn't blow himself up setting it so the rest of the party went to the fjord in the river to meet up with Malek and Vohn. So we cross the river and get to the secondary entrance to the cave system and set ourselves up.

And this is where our teamwork goes to crap again. We individually invaded the cave ... after Vohn wanders back towards the main entrance. Meghan asked Paul to go with Vohn to keep an eye on him, she's not much liking the splitting the party up concept. But we're also not really working as a team either.

So, into the cave system we went to find an actual adventuring party there. Two wizards, a tank sort, a rogue, an archer, and one I'm still not sure what it was. And here is where we don't do well as a team. Instead of systematically working together, we all individually waded in.

Thonk did quite a bit of damage until one of the wizards tarred his feet to the ground. He was able to get out of it though. Malek also got tarred to the ground, but as a ranged fighter it didn't stop him. Fizzledorp didn't do so well, at one point he got blinded, and he's pretty slow moving so had a harder time moving around the combat. Lutor did well, joined Meghan in killing one of the wizards. Vohn also helped there as he had snuck in through the main entrance. But in general we didn't fight "together", just kind of did our own thing.

We killed 4 of the bad guys and captured one of the bad guys, but one escaped. So we left Malek guarding the captured one while the rest of us left the cave to deal with the escapee. Unfortunately the escapee proceeds to start throwing flame around, starting a forest fire, while escaping so he got away. We were able to curb the immediate fire threat however through Thonk's playing in the water. I have no idea how to describe this other than he was shoveling copious amount of water from the river by hand. Meghan used a summoned water elemental to hover on the river and turn into a fire hydrant that's been broken open.

This is when the captured bad guy comes running out, followed by Malek. As we were about to react to that, one of the wolf-people came out of no where and killed the bad guy. The wolf-person then told us to leave, they'd take care of the further away forest fire, and that "its begun".

We did take time to clean out the cave system of items, finding a stack of wolf-pelts. Meghan took control of those to return to the cleric of Neria back in town, as wolves are sacred to her deity and she'd know how to properly deal with this desecration.

And that was the end of this session. More soon!
