The Party
Sanji is the party's moral compass and its most versatile improviser, equally likely to launch a vegetarian tirade mid-service or ghost around the back of a guarded mill to cut a prisoner's bonds. Her decisions consistently blend direct physical action with high-stakes social gambits — confronting oppressors head-on, then talking her way out of the aftermath — and her sleight-of-hand has proven the difference between success and disaster more than once.
Skrit is a small creature with a large smite and a consistent talent for turning manageable situations into memorable disasters — and occasionally back again. His arc runs from street-level loyalty (staying with the party at the Ettin blockade, protecting Sanji from a dog bite by reflex) to small-unit field command, culminating in a 35-result bluff that convinced an entire mill crew to tie each other up, though he has no key for the manacles.
Gorlog operates as the party's logistical backbone — owner of the Greasy Spoon wagon, keeper of Ledger, and the person most likely to solve a problem with a skillet or a rousing speech. His most defining session-level decision was breaking from the group during the riverside attack to organize a civilian fire brigade, saving five market stalls and then routing the grateful crowd back to the wagon for breakfast.
Wickett is the party's intelligence broker and its most careful operator, habitually gathering evidence, managing official narratives, and pocketing items he has not fully decided what to do with. The throughline of his decisions is controlled information: he determines what Stout knows, what the hunters know, and what the party knows — and the gap between those three sets is almost always intentional.
Vaela is the party's most volatile and most powerful member, with a recurring pattern of solutions that work brilliantly until they also set something on fire — sometimes literally, sometimes by accident, occasionally on purpose. Her arc moves from cautious disguise (posing as 'Lydia' to avoid the hunters) to open destruction (torching the mill paddock and stables), with the plesiosaur Pickles as her most consistent emotional anchor.
Sanji
Sanji is the party's moral compass and its most versatile improviser, equally likely to launch a vegetarian tirade mid-service or ghost around the back of a guarded mill to cut a prisoner's bonds. Her decisions consistently blend direct physical action with high-stakes social gambits — confronting oppressors head-on, then talking her way out of the aftermath — and her sleight-of-hand has proven the difference between success and disaster more than once.
Highlights
- Convinced 10 of 12 loggers she was a fur-pelting victim with a 22 persuasion, defusing the Pendergast standoff without combat
- Ghosted behind the mill, cut Tam Brannick's bonds, and palmed him a dagger on a 21 sleight of hand — he gave no visible reaction
- Stomped the magical tracking amulet from dog one's collar, confirmed destroyed by Skrit
- Sabotaged the control whistle before handing it to Captain Stout; the modification went undetected
- Launched a vegetarian tirade during Gorlog's ankheg po'boy service, collapsing payment from 15 gold to one
Key Decisions
Intervened in the harassment of Skrit by confronting the goons directly
Drew Barnaby's full attention onto herself and the group; her bo staff distraction gave Wickett the opening to deposit the fish — the two actions were independent, but their coincidental combination made it look like Barnaby had given birth
Removed dog two's collar while Gorlog held it grappled, then immediately disengaged.
Succeeded with a 22 sleight of hand check. The dog became noticeably less aggressive toward her specifically. She disengaged before it could lick her.
Stomped the magical tracking amulet from dog one's collar to destroy it.
The amulet shattered, glowed three times, and went dark. Skrit confirmed this meant it could no longer be used to remotely locate the party.
Wandered the town square to advertise the food wagon, then led Skrit to the Cupped Axe
Generated significant sales traffic; also walked directly into Silas, who identified the party as fugitives
Launched into a vegetarian tirade while Gorlog was serving ankheg po' boys
Most loggers stopped eating; Gorlog's payment dropped from a potential 15 gold to a single gold piece
Broke into the Cupped Axe with Skrit and helped smash open the locked desk drawer
Found the incriminating ledger, the missing tuna, and three bottles of Splinter's Bend Reserve; now holding damning proof
Deliberately touched Pendergast's robes after watching Skrit get struck for doing so.
Pendergast attacked her. She successfully deflected the attack and redirected force into his own face, further enraging him.
Held her action to deflect if Pendergast attacked her again.
Pendergast used Cease and Desist instead of attacking, so the held action was not triggered.
Threw herself to the ground and begged Pendergast not to take her fur, framing herself as a victim of an attempted pelting
Rolled 22 persuasion; convinced 10 of 12 loggers and even introduced doubt in Pendergast. Set the tone for the entire non-combat resolution of the encounter.
Doused Skrit and Vaela with a pitcher of water (grabbed from Gorlog's wagon stores) to put out Vaela's hair-flames
Vaela's hair flames were temporarily extinguished, causing visible emotional distress; the water was of questionable quality. (Gorlog supplied the water; Sanji threw it.)
Attempted to persuade the Plesiosaur rather than attack it, and leaped across the river to ram Grimm
Grimm coughed up the brass whistle; Sanji recovered it with a lucky sleight-of-hand roll; the plesiosaur was freed from Grimm's control
Sabotaged the control whistle before handing it over to Captain Stout as evidence.
The whistle was handed over in a modified state. Stout did not detect the sabotage. Whether the modification actually prevents the whistle from functioning is unknown.
Abandoned her runner duties mid-dinner service to chase a lead on the king at the salt stall.
Skrit covered her dereliction, preserving the dinner service outcome. Sanji successfully met Maurice and obtained the king's shopping list.
Deceived Maurice into believing she was an excellent and capable shopper who could help him fulfill the king's supply list.
Maurice gave Sanji a crown-sealed copy of a partial supply list and five gold, with instructions to meet him at the East Gate by sundown.
Sprinted across the burning raft to the far bank chasing a fleeing attacker, and after a failed grapple knocked him unconscious with non-lethal blows, then forced his companion to carry him back toward Stout.
One attacker captured unconscious. The second, cowed by Sanji appearing directly in front of him with a simple 'hi,' froze and surrendered — and after a fireman's-carry demonstration from Sanji, hauled his unconscious companion back to Stout's custody.
Calmed Ledger down using Wicket's animal-handling approach and got him back into his yoke to move the wagon away from the spreading fire.
The Greasy Spoon wagon was moved clear of the fire. Ledger appeared unharmed. The wagon sustained no observed damage.
Suggested to Pickles via Mother Halda's translation to stay away from people, particularly upriver.
Pickles communicated she already planned to avoid the mill men. Revealed information about ropes, other captive animals, and her inability to think clearly near the mill.
Scouted ahead on foot along the riverbank to identify the raft and its occupants before the group approached
Identified Tam Brannick as the bound figure on the raft; party decided to follow rather than confront
Used the cover of Vaela's distraction to ghost around the back of the mill, locate Tam Brannick, cut his bonds, and palm her dagger to him
Brannick is unbound and now armed (dagger passed on a 21 sleight of hand); he gave no visible reaction and continued taunting the guards
When Tam collapsed shouting 'pins and needles' and both dock guards turned, grabbed him and ran for the woods instead of fighting or hiding
She carried Tam clear, but the paddock guard spotted 'a goat lady carrying a dude' and shouted the alarm that started initiative
Got in a bound guard's face and demanded 'Who's Kreel?'
Intimidation 21: the guard wet himself and pointed out the man at the end of the line, which Skrit's insight read as truthful — Kreel identified
Skrit
Skrit is a small creature with a large smite and a consistent talent for turning manageable situations into memorable disasters — and occasionally back again. His arc runs from street-level loyalty (staying with the party at the Ettin blockade, protecting Sanji from a dog bite by reflex) to small-unit field command, culminating in a 35-result bluff that convinced an entire mill crew to tie each other up, though he has no key for the manacles.
Highlights
- Talked the paddock guard into believing the mill was surrounded on a 26 persuasion using Channel Divinity, triggering the crew's full surrender
- Non-lethal smite downed the alpha dog, then immediately healed it with Lay on Hands and offered it rations
- Poured river water into a burning brine barrel, producing a blinding fog cloud and poisoning most of the party
- Destroyed the plesiosaur control whistle by beating it flat with his meat tenderizer the moment he received it
- Left 75 gold untouched in Silas's desk, taking only the ledger — maintaining the moral line between evidence and theft
Key Decisions
Deployed oil-coated ball bearings behind the fleeing wagon
The oil ignited from a horseshoe spark, setting the street ablaze in green flames and clearing the pursuing guards — though the tangerine cart was destroyed in the process
Chose to stay with the party rather than leave when the cart stopped at the Ettin blockade
Skrit is now traveling with the party toward Waymoot
Used Protection fighting style reaction to impose disadvantage on the dog's attack against Sanji.
The attack missed. Skrit was left with his arm nearly inside the dog's mouth, terrified by his own reflexive action.
Attempted a non-lethal critical smite with a meat tenderizer on the alpha dog.
26 points of non-lethal damage — well above the threshold. Dog knocked unconscious with 1 HP remaining. Skrit then healed it with 10 points of Lay on Hands and offered it rations.
Challenged Silas to a dice game rather than simply paying for the turnip mash
Won four double portions of turnip mash for one gold; further antagonized Silas, leading to physical removal from the tavern
Used Channel Divinity to power a persuasion attempt to stop the bouncers from throwing Sanji out
Rolled a 27; Sanji was set down rather than thrown through the door. Expended Skrit's only daily Channel Divinity use.
Used Thunder Smite and Divine Smite on a crit against the first ankheg
Dealt 38 points of damage, nearly killing the creature in one hit; drew its singular aggression for the remainder of the encounter; expended two spell slots
Removed the acid sac from the unconscious ankheg rather than killing it
Successfully obtained one acid sac grenade; unconscious ankheg preserved alive
Crawled into the ankheg burrow tunnel to investigate for evidence of tampering
Found traces of turnip mash in the burrow — circumstantial evidence linking Silas to the infestation
Shoved the unconscious ankheg off the driver's bench when Kaelin praised the party to the town
The ankheg woke up, terrified the townsfolk, and damaged the party's reputation with Kaelin
Fashioned an ankheg leg section into a pauldron for his armor
Gained a cosmetic piece of armor; no confirmed mechanical benefit yet
Pocketed the incriminating ledger found in Silas's locked desk drawer
Party now holds documented proof of payments between Silas and Constable Barnaby Plum
Left the money box with 75 gold pieces untouched in Silas's desk
Party took only the ledger and the tuna, maintaining moral distinction between evidence-gathering and theft
Chose to take the payment ledger from Silas's office to show to Wicket rather than Foreman Kaelin, citing distrust of the Foreman.
The party now holds the ledger as evidence, but it has not yet been presented to any authority.
Reached up and rubbed Julian Pendergast's pristine white silk robes.
Pendergast struck Skrit for 6 points of bludgeoning damage and initiated a second combat encounter.
Used Draconic Cry as a bonus action and attempted to stab Pendergast with his kitchen knife after Sanji was bloodied.
Attack missed. Skrit failed the subsequent Cease and Desist wisdom save and is restrained at session end.
Attacked Pendergast with a kitchen knife while restrained, believing he was defending Sanji from a fur-stealer
Rolled a 1 and a 7; missed completely. Comedic lunge stopped by the restraint spell.
Showed Harold the ledger but refused to hand it over until Wickett vouched for him; then handed it over
Harold now has the ledger and has sworn on his oath to pursue the investigation.
Washed his hands thoroughly with Sanji's soap and water, then gave Pendergast a firm pat on the back as a parting gesture
Pendergast immediately checked his robes; hands were clean, no mark left. Consequence deferred.
Charged Vaela to try to smother what he believed were dangerous flames with his cloak
His cloak was destroyed (reduced to a scarf-strip of charred fabric), he took 3 points of fire damage, and Vaela was startled and terrified before the misunderstanding was resolved
Used 10 points of Lay on Hands to heal the Plesiosaur
The plesiosaur responded peacefully ('eee') and turned its attention to Vaela's pickles; combat effectively ended
Attempted to shove an acid-sack grenade down the plesiosaur's throat while grappled in its mouth; reconsidered and instead used Draconic Cry
Draconic Cry granted the whole party advantage on attack rolls for the next turn; he then threw the grenade at the plesiosaur's back instead, dealing 6 acid damage and freeing himself from the grapple range
Climbed into the hand cart and rode while Sanji pushed, to navigate the muddy crowded square back to the East Gate.
They arrived barely in time — Maurice was visibly frantic but still waiting. The 14 acrobatics check was sufficient but left no time to spare.
Attempted to invoke the crown seal letter to persuade merchants to lower prices, framing it as a business-to-business appeal about future crown commerce.
The DM ruled the argument adjusted the DC on the check. Sanji's 17 insight check succeeded, allowing them to complete the shopping within budget.
Kept the watch alone for six hours rather than wake anyone.
Skrit failed his Constitution save and gained one level of exhaustion (disadvantage on all ability checks) going into the pre-dawn crisis.
Obtained the whistle from Wickett and immediately destroyed it by beating it flat with his meat tenderizer.
The whistle was bent beyond repair. Skrit carried the flattened remains back to the riverbank intending to melt them down; Vaela then asked him for it and finished the job. The control mechanism for Pickles no longer exists.
Spent the river journey sleeping, claiming it as a long rest
Skrit arrived at the mill fully rested
Stepped out of the bushes with a pot lid and meat tenderizer, spent Channel Divinity (+5 persuasion for ten minutes), and told the paddock guard 'We have you surrounded. Surrender immediately or pay the price'
A 26 on straight persuasion; the guard believed it completely and reported 'dozens of them' to Bertha, setting up the whole surrender
Produced his only set of manacles, told the surrendered crew to bind each other with the warehouse rope, and manacled Bertha himself; stated the plan is to turn them over to the authorities in town
Natural 20 for a 35: the whole crew tied each other up and Bertha held out her wrists. Kyle noted out of character that Skrit has no key — 'a problem later when we get them back to town'
Poured a pot of river water into the burning brine barrel
A flaming mushroom cloud (Skrit took 1 fire damage through a 22 Dex save and his cloak's fire resistance) and a fog too thick to see through; everyone but Gorlog, Kreel and Sela was paralyzed and poisoned.
Gorlog (Tiny)
Gorlog operates as the party's logistical backbone — owner of the Greasy Spoon wagon, keeper of Ledger, and the person most likely to solve a problem with a skillet or a rousing speech. His most defining session-level decision was breaking from the group during the riverside attack to organize a civilian fire brigade, saving five market stalls and then routing the grateful crowd back to the wagon for breakfast.
Highlights
- Led a fire brigade to save five market stalls during the raft attack, then redirected the grateful crowd to the Greasy Spoon for an unexpected breakfast rush
- Accepted and refused to remove the Fire Marshal of Thornwall Ford sash
- Grappled an attacking dog bare-handed (framed as a hug) to buy the party time to remove its collar
- Initiated the entire escape from Splinter's Bend by grabbing Sanji and Skrit and ordering Ledger to flee
Key Decisions
Grabbed Sanji and Skrit and yeeted them into the wagon, ordering Ledger to flee
Triggered the getaway chase sequence; the party successfully escaped Splinter's Bend
Held an action to attempt to grapple an approaching dog, framed in-character as trying to hug it.
The bite attempt triggered the held grapple. Gorlog succeeded on the athletics contest (beat the dog's roll of 9). The dog was grappled. A subsequent attempt to remove the collar while grappling failed (rolled 11, DC not met).
Held action to strike the nearest enemy with a skillet if combat resumed; simultaneously called out to Pendergast asking whether the Gilded Ladle certification was still intact
Pendergast confirmed the certification stands regardless of the altercation.
Instead of following the rest of the crew to the river, organized and led a fire brigade to put out the burning market stalls, then directed the grateful townsfolk to the Greasy Spoon for breakfast.
Five stalls were saved from further spread and the fire was fully extinguished. A crowd of grateful townspeople followed Gorlog back to the Greasy Spoon, creating an unexpected breakfast rush.
Accepted the Fire Marshal of Thornwall Ford sash and gave another rousing speech, then refused to remove the sash.
The sash became a permanent fixture on Gorlog's person for the session. The crowd was further endeared to him.
Wickett Turnheel
Wickett is the party's intelligence broker and its most careful operator, habitually gathering evidence, managing official narratives, and pocketing items he has not fully decided what to do with. The throughline of his decisions is controlled information: he determines what Stout knows, what the hunters know, and what the party knows — and the gap between those three sets is almost always intentional.
Highlights
- Slipped a cold fish down Constable Barnaby's armor, publicly humiliating him and making him a persistent enemy
- Concealed the plesiosaur control whistle from Captain Stout across two sessions, then handed it to Skrit who immediately destroyed it
- Nat 20 investigation on the bloodied note, then surrendered both it and a brand sketch to Stout while keeping a written copy
- Planted the stolen ledger in the dirt below Pendergast's feet on a 21 sleight of hand — Harold's perception check failed
- Confirmed Vaela's safety to the hunters Callum and Petra, received their raft warning, and relayed it to Stout — all without revealing the full picture to any party
Key Decisions
Slipped a cold fish down Constable Barnaby's armor during the confrontation
Publicly humiliated Barnaby, escalating the confrontation into a full chase and making him a persistent enemy
Rebuilt the Ettin's barricade after passing through the ravine
The Ettin will be appreciative if encountered again; any pursuit from Splinter's Bend will be slowed by the same obstacle
Rang a bell to distract the incoming hounds on his first turn.
The bell tone resembled the dogs' training master's command signal, halting their advance for one round — an unlikely success that bought the party critical time.
Climbed a tree to 15 feet, then dropped to 5 feet and leapt onto dog three's back to remove its collar.
Succeeded on an acrobatics check (11) to mount, then removed the collar with a 21 sleight of hand check. Took 1 piercing damage from the spiked collar. The dog immediately became friendly and licked him.
Retrieved aged tuna from the cart and hand-fed it to dog three.
The dog immediately lay down and ate contentedly, fully pacified.
Wrote a note and attached it via a loose rope collar to the last departing dog.
Unknown. Contents of the note were kept secret from the other players. The note will travel back toward Barnaby with the dog.
Used sleight of hand as a bonus action to plant the stolen ledger in the dirt below Pendergast's feet, making it appear to have fallen from his person
Rolled 21 sleight of hand; Harold failed his perception check. No one noticed. Pendergast later retrieved it, suspicious but without proof.
Vouched for Harold's trustworthiness and gave Skrit a nod to hand over the ledger
Harold received the ledger, reviewed it, recognized key names, and swore to investigate Silas Vance.
Examined the bloodied note with a nat 20 investigation check and then surrendered both the note and a sketch of the tally-mark brand to Captain Stout as evidence, keeping only a written copy for himself.
Stout added both to her strongbox alongside the control whistle. She doubled gate watches and posted a guard at the strong box, and confirmed to Wickett the locations of her eight guards overnight.
Confirmed to Callum and Petra that Vaela is with the crew, gave them her plesiosaur sketch, and made clear she is safe and happy.
The hunters stated their immediate task appeared complete and departed. They also warned about three unlit rafts heading downriver, which Wickett then relayed to Captain Stout.
Pocketed the ornate M coin left by Callum and Petra, flicking a decoy coin in its place.
Wickett retained the coin. The deception succeeded with a 13 sleight of hand check.
Reported the raft camp intelligence and the three unlit rafts to Captain Stout.
Stout confirmed she recognized Redwater Shallows and has long suspected it. She thanked Wickett and advised everyone to get as much rest as possible, expecting a long night.
Retrieved the stolen whistle from inside the plesiosaur's mouth while it chomped the attacker wearing it, and in a separate later action pickpocketed all remaining stolen evidence from the man's pockets.
All stolen evidence was recovered (taking a boarding hook hit for 9 slashing in between). After Captain Stout emerged from the bushes, Wicket stealthily re-pocketed the whistle — keeping it out of official hands, possibly unseen.
Brandished the whistle threateningly at the two surviving raft attackers and told them Vance doesn't care if they die, then called for Skrit to stand down and let them run.
The two attackers fled — straight into Captain Stout and her guards, who had been waiting hidden in the bushes and cuffed them before the tree line.
Returned the stolen evidence to Stout but concealed the whistle, deceiving her into believing everything had been recovered.
Stout accepted the story (Wickett rolled 17 and then 20 on deception). She now believes the whistle is lost or upriver. Skrit subsequently acquired and destroyed the whistle.
Handed over the whistle to Skrit.
Skrit immediately destroyed it. Wickett's objection was noted but overridden.
Paid Benjamin two gold pieces — significantly more than the itemized invoice — on behalf of the Fire Marshal of Thornwall Fords.
Benjamin accepted and the party remains welcome at the Thornwall Inn.
Apologized to Stout for implying Corporal Brannick might be a traitor.
The guards relaxed. Stout's guards gave Wickett a small nod of acceptance.
Vaela
Vaela is the party's most volatile and most powerful member, with a recurring pattern of solutions that work brilliantly until they also set something on fire — sometimes literally, sometimes by accident, occasionally on purpose. Her arc moves from cautious disguise (posing as 'Lydia' to avoid the hunters) to open destruction (torching the mill paddock and stables), with the plesiosaur Pickles as her most consistent emotional anchor.
Highlights
- Melted the flattened control whistle into the riverbank gravel in front of Pickles — 'no more chains for Pickles' — and Pickles subsequently pulled the party's rafts upriver of her own accord
- Ran through dry riverside grass while her fire-hair blazed, rolling a nat 20 on the spread die and consuming the field and a stockade section
- Freed every animal in the mill paddock, recovered a warm shifting egg marked 'RS, Upriver, EV,' then set the stables alight before storming the warehouse
- Cast Firebolt into an open brine barrel to test whether it was explosive — it was; most of the party was poisoned and two were incapacitated
- Performed a 22-deception crying ruse to gain entry to the mill, securing a cot in the office and getting Ledger into the corral
Key Decisions
Threw pickle jars toward the plesiosaur as a distraction during combat
The plesiosaur strained toward the pickles and eventually fixated on them after being freed from the whistle's control
Used her last third-level spell to magically disguise herself as a dwarven woman named 'Lydia', altering her appearance and voice.
Callum and Petra appeared not to recognize her immediately, though they seemed suspicious. Vaela is now out of third-level spells.
Threw a full jar of pickles downriver to coax the plesiosaur away from the crossing.
The plesiosaur followed the pickles downstream, clearing the crossing for wagon traffic, but settled in a deep pool 100 yards south rather than departing entirely.
Paid three gold for a room with two large beds without haggling.
The crew had a comfortable place to sleep, though Gorlog noted it cost more than the crew made feeding 300 people. Ledger's narration confirmed this arithmetic.
Ran through dry riverside grass while her fire-hair blazed with emotion, igniting the field.
Faith rolled a natural 20 on the spread die the DM called for — the fire consumed the grassland between the town and the river and the stockade section the party had snuck through. The party agreed afterward to let the blaze be blamed on the arsonists.
Used her bonus action to hurl Pickles (the food item) upriver to draw the plesiosaur away from the attackers, then transformed into an aquatic draconic form and swam toward the enemy rafts.
Pickles moved upriver, away from the rafts — but later surfaced on her own initiative to attack the newly arrived raft herself.
Pre-built an alibi for the plesiosaur: if anyone asks, 'the plesiosaur attack was in self-defense of the animal.'
The DM confirmed the party's story going forward: the plesiosaur was defending itself. Combined with Wicket's pocketed whistle, the party now controls the official narrative of the night.
Initiated physical interrogation of the middle prisoner by gripping both his shoulders and shaking him while demanding information about Pickles.
Accidentally burned the prisoner. Rolled an 18 on intimidation. He revealed Kreel's name and role as mill foreman. Stout and her guards were visibly shocked.
Asked Skrit for the flattened whistle and melted it into oblivion on the riverbank gravel, in front of Pickles.
Pickles watched her chains cease to exist — 'no more chains for Pickles.' Pickles committed to the mission and later pulled the party's rafts upriver of her own accord.
Tried to melt the toll chain with a fire cantrip (Sorcerous Burst), then — after Sanji dropped it by pulling the release lever — burned the raising wheel so the chain could not be re-raised
Chain permanently dropped; toll mechanism destroyed
Created a minor illusion of the chain dropping to explain to Pickles that the way was clear
Pickles was terrified by the illusion of the chain and dove underwater, abandoning the party; Pickles had not returned by session end
Performed an elaborate crying ruse — claiming to be lost, fallen in the water, map gone, running away from home — to gain entry to the mill
Sela was convinced (a 22 deception/performance, then a 24 persuasion, both with advantage); Vaela was offered a cot in the office; Ledger was taken to the corral
Asked to sleep in the paddock beside Ledger instead of taking the cot in the office, then used the cover to reconnoitre the pens
With the guard distracted by the standoff outside, she moved freely through the runs and freed every animal, and found the egg crate
Pried open the 'HANDLE WARM' crate with her dagger, then had Ledger haul the crate out of the paddock with the egg still inside
The party now has a beer-keg-sized, warm, shifting egg of unknown species in a crate marked 'RS, Upriver, EV'
After confirming no animals remained, set the stables and hay alight with a Sorcerous Burst of fire 'so they can't use anything anymore,' then stormed into the warehouse
Paddock, stables, and hay supply in flames; she entered the warehouse hair blazing, a cormorant's throat cord in hand, demanding 'Where is he?' — the DM ended the session there
Chased the fleeing bunkhouse workers to find the animal handler
She spent a sorcery point to Misty Step after them and threatened a Fireball, but cast neither Fireball nor Command; nobody answered her and she returned. Kreel later named Larry as the one who tied the bird cords.
Cast Firebolt at the open brine barrel to test whether it was explosive
The barrel became a barely visible mist across the compound; everyone except Gorlog was poisoned, and Skrit and Wickett were incapacitated (Sanji and Vaela got them to the dock, where water and a Constitution check brought them round).
