				They say you can find anything at Skull Port, a new life or a way to end the lives of others. Endless wealth, or a way to write your legends among the stars. Answers to the darkest questions or a way to keep secrets hidden for good, everything in this world eventually flowed along the rivers and seas into that blighted place that lived under the shadow of the cursed city of Waterdeep and many made the pilgrimage there to try find a real answer to their problems. <br><br>Just getting there was challenge enough for many and a few travelers passing through the Stonelands had managed to avoid intruding past the fires and flags that marked out the Orc baronies and kept to the traveler lands. Even Orcs knew that you had to let people travel through or you'd soon be crushed for being an annoyance by something more powerful and so thin trails weaved through the lands worn down by the feet of and claws of all those who'd passed this way before. The sun was low in the sky and Startop Crag was lit up by the flames of whichever tribe had fought to make themselves rulers of the land, few outside the Orcs bothered to keep up with who it was and far more concerning right now was the sky itself. Black clouds were boiling up over the horizon and&nbsp; the rumble of thunder had gotten faster and louder as they bore down across the meadows. There was precious little shelter in a place like this but a stone structure still stood at the foot of a valley in plain sight of all the hills around it and those walking the lands could see the dots of other people rushing to get into the safety of some stone walls before the storm hit. <br><br>The doors of the stone hut were long gone, a few missing stones in the doorway leaving the gaps now caked in moss a sign that they'd been taken by an enterprising scavanger some time ago. The stonework itself was rather fine though, still smoothed and sturdy and chipped in with a runic lines of old text as a border two foot off the ground and anyone over six foot would have to duck to get in, there wasn't a huge amount of space to stand in it but it was spacious enough inside, a large round stone dias with more runic text circling it all that's left inside that'd make a good table or a break from the wind if there was no way to plug up that door. <br><br>A few flecks of rain were beginning to fall and the wind was picking up, those lucky enough to make it to shelter wouldn't have long to secure it...<br>

				The orange furred Tabaxi dressed in little more than a tunic, some trousers, and a hood has been an odd traveling partner for whatever groups she has drifted into and out of in the time before arriving here.&nbsp; She's always been a good sentry (and a quite well armed one), relatively unobtrusive except when bartering or paying for a share of the food and drink, and interested in relatively inane things.&nbsp; With luck, though, the current group she is in will turn out to be the real winners.<br><br>In fact, right now, she's observing the stonework and looking far more interested in it than the shelter that she's just been fortunate enough to find.&nbsp; At least she's bothered to move inside of it to marvel at it.<br><br>"It's amazing this has stood up without any wood to help it stand up," Fifth Firebird says offhandedly as she removes her backpack and checks through it, "going to need something to stop that draft from getting in here, or else it's going to be terribly chilly when I lay down to sleep..."<br><br>The creature seems to have forgotten that she has been followed by comrades or anyone at all, in fact.&nbsp; "I wonder if I can use sharp things to pin one of my blankets over the door..."

				The goliath's wrinkles were like the folds of some great mountain, pits and crags of grey almost-stone skin belying an almost geologic age. Rather like a mountain, he had to stoop to get in the door, and with his powerful physique (not to mention his heavy armor and equipment), he took up far too much room.<br><br>On the other hand, he was carrying firewood on his back, always welcome in conditions like these.<br><br>"Leave the holes!" he waved an enormous hand at the holes in the walls, loosing the bundle of firewood to the floor with a crash. "It will let the smoke out when we build a fire."<br><br>And without further ado, he set to doing just that.

				The gaps in the stones aren't wide but picking at the aged mortar with the point of the sword eventually clears a few chunks out that gives Fifth Firebird enough space to wedge a pinion into the gap as long as she's willing to punch a hole through her blanket, or at least tie it carefully enough to keep it holding. It's not easy going though, this place really was built to last.<br><br>The drum of rain landing outside means the Golaith got his firewood in just inside as it begins to pour down heavy and hard, a constant hiss as the edge of the roiling clouds begin to spill into the valley itself. Shapes are still visible through the haze of water vapor kicked up by the downpour and three of those shadows burst out of the downpour and into the room. One of the new arrivals was a tall woman with a deep blue skin and the points of horns poking out of the hood of a pristine white rain-cloak with gold edging. The water just sloughs off her as she looks down to her three companions, far shorter than her and with only two wooden shields as protection from the rain, two kobolds in simple chainmail shirts and padded leggings shake their heads off like dogs while holding a third kobold between them. The third kobold looks really worse for wear, unconcious and with no sign of a shirt at all, their chest is charred half black and one arm is more of a ruined charred stub, any sign of a hand completely gone. Their only sign of life is a rather disconcerting breathing that sounds like a blade running fast over cobblestones.<br><br>The tiefling pushes back her hood and looks between the Tabaxi and the Golaith and narrows her silver eyes.<br><br>"I trust we're welcome to share this shelter?"<br><br>

				The slight, cloaked figure that darted in a few moments later seemed almost to have been half-drowned by the downpour, the rather light cloak clinging around a slender figure and dark hair plastered against a dark, delicate face, golden eyes taking in the hut and its occupants with an innocent curiosity.<br>"Why wouldn't we be?" The figure asked, his - or possibly her - voice light, soft and as androgynous as their features. "Let's get your friend inside so I can help him, okay?" <br>The offer of assistance came without apparent thought, the small, drenched figure seeing someone in need and apparently immediately deciding that they had to help.

				"I don't see why not.&nbsp; More of us means more warmth," the Tabaxi said with a smile as she did her best to tie her blanket in place rather than risk tearing it.&nbsp; She would only have one left if she ruined this one, and she preferred not to think about such things.&nbsp; Letting that thought fall from her mind, she looked to the wounded one and said, "I am somewhat skilled in the healer's trade, if you would like I could tend to your friend?"<br><br>She was already looking the wounded kobold over anyway.&nbsp; Why shouldn't she?&nbsp; Help was to be freely offered until someone said no, and then it would have to be offered more surreptitiously.&nbsp; She might be able to ease pain, if nothing else, and save a life otherwise.&nbsp; &nbsp;The red furred creature seemed rather lacking in concern that she was rather outnumbered with people who she had either just met or met very recently.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Medicine check to give the kobold a looking over/basic medical treatment, in so far as you can help under these circumstances<br>At 2017-02-23 17:46:18, TheFourthShade (uid: 55451) rolls: 1d20a5 Result: 19 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=100450) </div></div>

Storms were the song of the islands, they fed the rivers, and the winds made the palm trees speak in the thousand whispers of her ancestors. Here though, in this dark, stony land, the rain was a curse. It came without rhythm or rhyme, as if the gods had no hand in their own storms. The ran poured in cold, heavy sheets. Even the very earth itself rejected the rains here, turning roads and soil into a soggy mush. So, of course the birdlike woman would seek shelter against the chilly downpour sure to come. Shameful behavior for one gifted with wings, but the last time she tried to fly in a storm like this ended... poorly<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Once inside, she shook, her feathers rustling lightly as she shed rain droplets from them. She blinked a few times to adjust to the differenterent light and observe the others who had taken shelter. It seemed the weather made common cause for the oddest sorts.&nbsp; "Come in, come in, before the sky drowns you," she urged to the horned one and her pet geckos, waving a hand to urge them into the building. It was then that she noticed that one of the creatures is injured. The red-and-gold plumes at the back of her head rose into a crest, alarmed at the creature's state. "What happened to that one?" she chirped, shuffling from one foot to the other awkwardly, wings shifting beneath her cloak to maintain balance.

				"Lightning blast" the Tiefling said as she steps in to find a space for herself, &nbsp;"It's a mean one this storm. I'm Kiadryss, these two are Jup and Giglu" she said pointing to the two Kobold's fussing as the Tabaxi and golden eyed stranger looked over their friend. "And our unfortunate friend is Akro, but they don't speak any common tongue."<br><br>The wounds certainly matched a lightning blast, blackened soot from what was no doubt a clothes fire and a flash fried stump of an arm it had to be a pretty bad hit. The biggest treatable danger for the Kobold was shock right now, keeping them awake and responsive was key. Only magic could fix damage that went deeper than that and the missing hand would be a tricky task even for a skilled healer. A few flecks of metal were still present on their charred scales, their chain shirt had not been an easy removal it seemed.<br><br>The rumble outside of the storm wasn't letting up, it sounded particularly nasty out there. At least the water didn't seem to be finding its way into the stone shelter and was sluicing off the domed roof now with the low crashing rumble of a small waterfall.<br><br>

				"Hello, Akro, I am Fifth Firebird,&nbsp; I will help you today," she says in Draconic in as quiet and gentle a tone as she can muster.&nbsp; It didn't really matter if there was a response; victims of illness and injury could sense the good ki in a healer's voice and would sometimes begin to recover just from that.&nbsp; &nbsp;She would sacrifice her bedroll to provide a good place for the wounded kobold to rest, in hopes that she would be able to at least produce comfort in what could be this creature's final moments.<br><br>She keeps the sorrow on the inside, for now:&nbsp; she will have to weep later either in happiness or sorrow.&nbsp; Hopefully, Akro will recover and there will be plenty to be cheery about.

				"I am Lord Enebish the Old, descended of the God of the Skies," the aged goliath rumbled, turning from his work at starting a fire to examine the injured kobold, his brow furrowing at the sight of the damage, " I can save his life, but only a true healer can save his arm." <br><br>Little blue wisps surrounded his hand as he laid... a single finger (which was nearly as big as a kobold's hand) on the kobold's forehead, channeling enough healing energy to stabilize his system.

				Kiadryss watches with interest as the small group works together to repair some of the damage done to Akro, magic washing over the burned scales and restoring their luster as the kobolds breathing becomes more regular and loses that horrible crackling rasp. The mumble a low thanks in Draconic and pat at the hooded healers hands, still swaying as their Kobold friends take them by their one good arm and settles them down. The magic has cleaned the stump and restored some of the flesh to mold over the exposed bone but a whole restoration of the limb was beyond the capability of anyone here.<br><br>"Appreciated" the blue skinned Tiefling says simply, before the storms howl picks up again and whips the clothing and loose hanging gear on the small group inside the rain sieving in over the half prepared blanket cover. The kobolds pull their healed ally behind the large stone dais in the middle for cover while Kadryss simply lets her white robes billow before waving a hand to once again have the water run off herself and disappear in a fine white mist. <br><br>"Two birds, one of the God of the Skies born and ..." she looks to the final cloaked figure and clicks her tongue as she thinks, before giving a little shrug. "Well it's not perfect, but it seems we're really having a sky themed day today.

She was slender and displayed pronounced curves but the heavy maul on her back clearly stated she not someone weak despite her looks.<br><br>Carefully moving the sheet that covered the entrance aside she peeked in and asked in a casual tone, "Do you have room for another" her low yet feminine voice echoing in the room as the rumble of earth itself. The group inside was big and varied&nbsp; but she still assumed they were all part of just one big group. The but almost instantly the wounded kobold got her full attention, "What happened?... Were you attacked or was it caused by this unnatural storm?... Is he going to be ok?" she spoke slowly and calmly yet worry was clearly seen in her dark emerald eyes.

				There's no thought put into who they go for on their way towards Kaidryss and the Kobolds, Medea was simply in the way of one as it tried to rush past her and it span and laid out a thumping blow that she easily ducked, leaving the wall to shake as it soaked up the heavy hammer blow of air.<br><br>Kaidryss is far less nimble and the other air elemental rushes her down and near slams her right off her feet with a blow to the stomach. She steadies herself with her staff as she croaks out the words of a spell, her fingertips dripping a light blue ichor that balls up below her hand and is sent rushing out with a little flick straight into the winds of the elemental smashing into her, flecks of frost appearing among the swirls of air and snowflakes spraying out to give the indoors area a freak light snowshower. At the very least it seems to have put it off its stride the winds staggering as it tries to purge itself of the flecks of ice.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">One swings for Medea Heartstone but rolled a 10 which misses so badly.<br>The other goes for Kiadryss and gets a 22, which she has no real way to stop for 13 damage. <br><br>Kiadryss returns fire with a Frostbite which hits with a 26 for 11 damage.

				The wounded one is the easiest to get at and the assault on it is furious. Fifth Firebird's Ki infused jabs punch holes in the whirling winds that don't close up on themselves and the earthshattering blows of Enebish's hammer have some small effect, even if it seems that wind is not the easiest to hurt with a hammer. The blazing light of their divine magic works a treat though and the wounded elemental staggers back, just the slightest amount of panic in their lightning eyes. <br><br>Medea is there to keep up the assault but again her maul isn't the best weapon for fighting winds. She's certainly inconveniencing it though her strong blows shattering strands of winds and dispersing them in crackling lightning pops through the room. The battered elemental is looking pretty worse for wear now, barely keeping itself together as Kaidryss breathes a sigh of relief.<br><br>"Thanks, my spells ran out before the sun even got high in the sky.
