The team rested and nursed their wounds before continuing on. They then came across a forest-covered island and an obvious scene of an aarakocra having been slain and eaten. They debarked the ship and investigated the scene. An aarakocra had been killed and devoured. They found tracks from multiple draconic creatures and a leonine creature all heading back into the woods. They followed and were soon beset upon by a forest drake, a hieracosphinxicore, and two sky blue draco-wyverns!
Neko cast fireball and hit a tree enroute, causing it to explode early and badly burn two of his fellow party members and also knocked down the tree! Jiraiya went tumbling through provoking attacks and counterstriking with his flayer flail while croaking. Edonna cast powerful spell-up spells throughout the fight, such as haste and recitation, much to the team’s delight! The forest drake spit an acid sphere that formed an obscuring cloud in the middle of the battlefield. It then used its speed surge ability to dart around the battlefield and put pressure on the back line. The hieracosphinxicore hurled its tail spikes at Khesen, but he was able to deflect one per round, which helped protect him from the full brunt of the attacks. The draco-wyverns unleashed their frigid shocking breath weapons to great effect!
Jiraiya, Khesen, and Hekera used flanking maneuvers to allow Jiraiya to use dirty fighting. One draco-wyvern grappled Hekera, but the fearsome warrior bit the creature to death with his crocodilian maw! Khesen went toe-to-toe with the hieracosphinxicore and attempted to knock it out. He failed to render it unconscious, but finally he just beat it to death.
Neko cast a horrifically effective mind thrust on the forest drake causing it to flee in terror for its life. Edonna protected herself with a blessed mantle, and Jiraiya tried to confuse a foe with his flayer flail. Having driven off the drake and killed the hieracosphinxicore, the draco-wyverns posed little further threat from the combined focus of attacks and were defeated.
The team examined the battlefield and found evidence something had been dragged further into the woods by more draconians. They found a silver piece and a couple of gold coins along the trail as if someone’s pouch had ripped and was spilling out.
