Hurrumph Xandar, I would think that would be a death sentence for a 1/2 Orc.
My poppa said they only live just so long. We need to see what of the 1/2 orcs
stuff is magical. Oh ad glad you are back with us.

Sean talks with Ahearn, briefly, not wanting to overtax him. "Brother,
I am going to check out the dragon's lair, make it easier for us to go back
that way when it's time to do so. I will be careful. I look forward to going
back there with you to my front."
To Hagar, Sean says "My Prince, I intend to scout out the route to
Ezanus's lair. He must be destroyed, when we are all up to snuff, we must
destroy the wyrm. I prefer to scout it alone, I would not lead anyone into
danger until we are ALL going into danger together." Sean smiles. "I'll try
not to stir up too much trouble." At that, he smirks.

Hagaor says "Whoevere wishes to Range with Sean is free to Range."
Hagar sets up the cave crew into defense guarding rotations through the
week until all are healed up and ready to go. Keeping the rotation so no one
gets burnt out and always has night vision mixed in at night guarding. Holly
can reset her trip wires but Hagar thinks they will be less affective the next
time.
He says Farab be praised also with the three raised from certain death.
We need to do the last rights too.
Card, we know you can recover like a Troll so we had to gamble or knock
your pups out. This time the gamble worked.
OOC - Yea, it will take some time to get everyone healed up so until
then, Holly can be our scout in the air patrol nad keep an eye on things.
Sean will Rnage and the rest run patrols but close to home with guard duties
to. If any localized work on the cove/caves/dock can be done that is organized.

How did folks get the idea that Carandolana isn't going to need
to recover just like any other character who drops below 0? Just because she
can selfheal doesn't seem to give her a pass on being a lump for days after it.
If she can cast spells she'll turn into a Goodberry factory
again, 6 Goodberry spells per day for a maximum of 48 goodberries or a total of
336 for a full seven day of making them and perfect die rolls.
She wants to chat with Ahearn.
She'll keep an eye on her armor, seeing if the enchantment does
anything to repair it.
And soon after she gets to the caves she'll wash and oil her
skin so she feels clean again after all that. She suspects the cheetah spot
won't wash off, and it's there as a reminder.
As much as she can she'll be her easy-going charismatic self
instead of the Carandolana -- Warrior Druid she seems to have to adopt so much.

Subject: [stoddard] The aftermath
In the immediate aftermath of recovering everybody and getting
them to the cavern, Sean and Joseph will go and recover the horses. Hopefully.
Thereafter, we appear to have time on our hands.
Xander, Ahearn and Johnny Mac need rest and rehabilitation.
Farab be praised.
Carandolana will slowly heal herself if not aided.
We have a week to kill. Or whatever Steve decides.
In that week, Sean has plans. In addition to the interment of
our honored dead, in properly consecrated ground, Sean intends to remove
Largeskull's large skull and mount it on a pole near where his landing party
landed. That will be a day one project. He'll also decapitate the ogres,
tying their heads together in pairs by their hair. The plan is to leave them
at the entrance to Hilda's caves. He'll spend the better part of the rest of
the day waiting on any patrols issuing forth from Hilda's cave, and killing
them. Or retiring before them if they are too much for him to handle. He'd
prefer to go it alone, but is willing to accept aid from Padrock and Wolfgang,
as he has been training them in the longbow. What he'll do is track the ogres
back the way they came, not because he doesn't know where Hilda's cave is, but
because he wants to see the route the next patrol is likely to take. The
ambush will be somewhere along there. Because he is so easily taunted, and
because every action requires a reaction. The equal and opposite part only
applies to a physics response. Sean is very much a disproportional response
sort of fellow.
If the rest of the party strenuously objects to this plan, he
will not do it, certainly not that the party knows, anyway. Whether he does it
alone is a whim of the moment thing.
His big plan for the week, however, is to trek to Ezanus's
lair. His intent is not to engage (unless a golden opportunity presents
itself) but, rather, to fix it's location (as opposed to having a map
designation we've never checked) and determine what we will encounter on our
way there. Because, surely, when back to strength, we will dispatch this
draconian nightmare once and for all. In this, Sean will accept no help, with
the exception of goodberries, not for their healing, but for their incidental
ability to obviate the need to eat.
Sicarius, during this time, will be doing routine maintenance
of weapons and armor. In addition, he will be looking to see if he has enough
materials to build a ballista, using Bertha as a model. At some point, he'd
prefer to make something that fires rocks (an onager or a scorpion) but he has
no model to use for that, while Agrobast made a perfectly practical mobile
ballista for Hagar, and Sicarius thinks he can manufacture a bigger model using
it as an example (Sicarius is a weaponsmith, but he could use some assistance
from a bowyer, which we have a few).
Sicarius will ask Xander, when his is out and about, whether he
thinks that trick he did with the rocks turning into a paper would work if
attached to a ballista bolt. One hit on a ship by a ballista bolt so enhanced
could destroy it.
