The kobold kept his firebolt pistol trained at the remaining party members as the masked man made his way down the stairs and soon the opening of the large entrance doors could slightly be heard. Seeing the two run away from sight, Azzen leaning position on the wall now slumped onto the ground from the near unconsciousness that he felt. Once Angus arrived, Azzen tried to get himself and waved away any assistance as he simply glared towards Angus. "So now you decided to come back here. Must you always recklessly leap into danger and leave us behind in potential harm?" Not hearing any conflicts, Celeste slowly stuck her head out from the room she was hiding in, hoping everything was okay now.

Meanwhile, Nadir still closely held onto Layla as he told her how things currently are and will be better. Besides having bad scorch marks, Layla looked relatively good enough to start a steady recovery. Layla, also trying to stay close to Nadir with her remaining energy closed her eyes as she can finally rest a bit easy now knowing most of their kidnappers have been dealt with. Once Layla closed her eyes, Nadir looked at the lizardman and gave a soft nod, "Thank you, with all of our gratitude."

Aron, who carried the young boy out, offered the body to Blue as Aron went to check the remaining door that the party has yet to enter into. Inside, there only appeared to be beds, along with a table and chairs, the entire room appearing very minimal and and better kept than the barracks that they found. Stepping out, Aron went into the study room that Angus was once in, took a look inside if there remained any danger, then stepped out into the hall. Looking at everyone asked out load for anyone to answer. "This last remaining room seems safe and the other room of some study has two chests, unsure if anyone here opened those two yet. Everything seem safe for now, but with that said, what are we going to do now?"

Hi everyone,

My days have been pretty busy, but hope everyone is still doing good on their end. This is just a small notification that I may make a post in a few days as it has the passed the 7 days mark of when I would wait for everyone to post or not. But before I do, is anyone still planning to make a post for this round and who would would like to continue the pursuit on the escaping masked man and his backpack of a kobold? I know Orchid could catch up and it was mentioned Blue may sprint ahead to help out. Else I could have turn order end, then party and remaining people can gather their things and thoughts as they prepare their next plan and move forward from where they are.

Caeda slightly reached her hand out, feeling sorry for frightening the pixie. "Forgive me for the surprise. I suppose the past several days here on the ship have not been easy on you. But I hope you are feeling at least a bit safer now." Getting up from bed, she prepared herself for the new day as she listened to Othie. "I have heard various stories about orcs, and Sticky seems to be one of the good ones. So I am happy that we are in agreement. For you wings, I am no medical expert as it is not my specialty, but to my knowledge and experience, healing magic could help quicken the healing process." After getting fully dressed, she wondered if there will be any other surprises for them before the reach the Majadan Empire.

@rush99999 Seeing that Angus moved onto the stairs, he would be able to see Azzen leading against the wall at the base of the stairs.

Would I be able to Sprint down the hall and catch up to Orchid and the one running?

@Ryonara

If you are using the Sprint Rule of going 5 times your movement in a straight line. The max would let you pass the runner by about 30ft, but then your turn would end. simple moving 30ft and action dash another 30ft, you can still bonus action to use as you would be next to a nearly unconscious Azzen, Orchid would be about 30ft away, and 60ft is the runner going down the stairs.

I've forgotten, but have we been to the first floor? I've been operating on the premise that we started from the bottom and worked our way up, but this guy is heading down back where we came from, right?

@Lucius Cypher

Hopefully this helps give the floor plan of the building:

3rd Floor - teleport room (everyone else)
2nd Floor - messhall and barracks (Orchid, masked man, kobold, Azzen, Celeste hiding)
1st Floor - entrance and storage room
Basement - prison

@Guardian Angel Haruki
The way the kobold was on the clinging to the masked man, he had some cover which cause the eldritch blast to not hit him.

@rush99999
I usually had a physical notes on every NPCs health history. But seeing as Azzen's health has been a consistent 10 HP in my past posts, I'll keep it at 10 and thus only have 1 health left. The other NPCs health history in my previous posts appear to match up from previous posts.

Nadir, Seeing the lizardman treat the woman and started to heard her beginning coughing, he rushed over to her through the remaining flames. "Layla, come, we must hurry." Quickly picking her up, both left the smoking room. Aron, seeing the boy recover as well, gave a nod of thanks to the blue lizardman and stepped in to help safely carry him out of the burning room.

Angus, now in a simple room. Towards the wall to the north, that room does appear quite bare, but remains of a broken chair and old blood staining the ground. To one corner there can be found a metal collar with chains with the end nailed into the ground, parts of the ground also appears to slightly eroded, almost like some acidic burns. Then there remains a desk which drawers hastily pulled opened as if in a hurry along with some burn paper scattered. Then there are the two chests near the desk that don't appear to have a lock on the front. As Angus approached and investigated the chest exterior and surrounding, nothing appeared to be keeping it locked or protected from outside.

Down the stairs, Orchid was run fast enough to shove the masked man prone on the ground. Seeing he was down, Azzen kept his 60ft distance to be at the bottom of the stairs as he yelled "You coward!" yelling as he cast vicious mockery, but the masked man appeared able to resist the magic effects. Getting up from his prone state and beginning to move away, the kobold still clung to the man with his firebolt pistol aimed not at Orchid, but Azzen. With one shot, the firebolt shot sailed past Orchid and pierced into Azzen who screamed in pain as he almost fell unconscious. The mask man would then began moving away as we ran about 45 ft away from Orchid, beginning their descent from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor.

Sorry everyone for the bit of silence on my end. Work and life got pretty busy as a few sudden things caught my attention and had to handle. I will have a post ready in a couple hours when I wake up. But how is everyone doing so far?

@rush99999, can you please roll me a investigation check for Angus as he tries to inspect the chests.

D&D 5e - Asembia: Untitled Roles

Sorry for wait, but now I have a bit of comfortable time to sit long enough give the answers to your questions.

@Ryonara
With the roll of 15 and given the amount of time each round, Blue would be able to discern where the likely people were that could survive the fireball long enough to be saved vs those who were too close to the initial blast. After checking the most exposed bodies, he would fine a fared skin human boy with short brown hair who was likely a teenage years and a human woman with long dark hair who is very recognizable of sansea ancestry. Although there is a faint breath, they are badly scorched and dying out.

@rush99999
