Aug 18 - we ride North!

The group discusses strategy
Seb decides to act as a distraction
Everyone preps to act
Seb reminds everyone to cover ears, walks out towards the next building pretending to not notice the things one the wall and then act as though he's just realizing they are there
 
Seb gets enchanted by the creature's wings
Silver shoots
Vera manages to hit it with a crossbow bolt
Marya misses
Vera misses the next shot
 
The second creature climbs down and a cloud of spores exudes - poisoning Marya and Komaria.
 
Zintris attacks w/ the longbow and manages to hit
Komaria runs out, swipes at the poisoning one a few times and manages to knock it out of the air
 
Marya runs out, turns into a bear and attacks the one on the ground
 
Vera tucks against the doorway and shoots the one on the wall - doing 11 damage
 
The prone creature gets back up into the air and takes down Komaria, Zintris runs out and lays on hands before using bait and switch to scoop her to her feet and swap places
Komaria gets an AC boon
 
Seb moves up and readies a produce flame, is able to push off the poison effects and attacks the creature surrounded by Marya and Zintris
 
Silver tries to shoot past Vera but misses
 
Komaria leaps off Zintris's shield, rebounds off Marya's bear form but doesn't stick the landing and lightning breaths just the closest enemy
 
The wall creature leaps at Komaria, but she nimbly dodges all of the attacks
 
Marya swipes and bites at the one in front of her, but misses
 
Vera runs out and nearly beheads the creature furthest out, killing it
 
Komaria is able to survive the attack, thanks to the AC boost, and the bug flies over top of here
 
Zintris smites it
Seb attacks with his sword and uses goading attack
Silver shoots it doing a whopping 19 damage
Komaria stabs it and whips it at Seb's sword - killing it
 
Marya as a bear gets hitched to a cart, we hop in and run for the North to try and secure that cavern, leaving the kids w/ the 2 in the house to the East.
 
The swarm had started moving southward, hearing the noise of the barricade being adjusted. We told the team there to abort for now.
 
As we approach a square, music starts drifting out. "The Ballad of the Grinning Fool" is recognized by a few members of our group.
 
Seb, having no other reachable part, pats Bear-Marya's butt to get her to stop, asking if she hears the music.
 
Komaria asks Zintris if she needs a ring or something yet, pointing to the jewelry shop
 
We see someone pop up from behind the jewelry counter, with a violin case in hand
Zintris tells him where to hide, he says he actually followed the creatures to this place
 
Vera is getting nervous and stands up in the cart to check around for anything attracted to us, and can see a few things crawling in. Seb calls out we need to MOVE.
 
Marya will make a display of struggling to start pulling the cart again, supposedly due to the added weight by the new person, before then picking up speed after the next couple of steps
 
Komaria would introduce themselves to Melody as "my stage name is Komaria" with a grin
 
"Me and her have two names. So she's not wrong." Zintris chimes in.
 
He'd offer a smile, "I am called A Storm's Melody, but you may call me by Melody"
