These lands aren’t Elmore’s holdings so he doesn’t have as much a horse in
this race as Hagar does. Hagar has a good deal invested here in terms of troop
contracts. Elmore’s chief expenses are his captain and his archers. There is
the matter of getting the other 5 potions identified so we know if they might
be of help. Holly has fireball missiles on a necklace next time we face another
such mass onslaught. I rather like the Holly Express , corpse delivery service
and would rather see our loot make it back home than sunk by pirates. Unsure if
they use sharks like the badmiral or not. If it were possible to sink another
of their ships or two, that could be a good thing but it’s hard to know if they
have allies in the water .

Sicarius is hardly a leader, and Sean is out of commission, so this is just
table talk amongst players. I seem to recall Holly taking Sean home for
raising by plopping him in her bag and flying home. Assuming Antonio wants to
continue playing John Mac, would that be an option worth considering again?
Ahearn and Sean are out of commission for a week, by the book. If Holly is
correct and the demons are gone, and the caverns "empty" (but for the shadows
we are pretty sure are there, and the lower undead we think are there), does
the party wish to clear it while there are no demons, even without the chaos
brothers? There is a risk that more demons arrive while we wait for Sean and
Ahearn to be ready to fight. And, assuming John Mac wants to be raised, and
survives it, add a minimum of four more days travel time to that if waiting for
the party to be fully functional. I am neither championing a position nor
ruling any out. Just putting forth possible options for next actions.
We could also retreat to Aarell and regroup, but moving overland will prevent
Sean or Ahearn from benefiting from rest, and you are taking two weeks round
trip. In addition, there is two and a half tons of coin we already have to
consider.
And then there is the Faltoc-humping Dolphin to consider. And the Droolbane.
And Ezanus the Evergreen. And the Necropirate Badmiral.
Sean can't express an opinion, and opinions are well above Sicarius's pay grade
at this point.
