Sorry for the long wait, but I have a 21 for Initiative.

D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

As Parum waited for the others to retreat, she instead saw them get snatched up by tentacles. Her worse fears had come to realization and she knew they were way in over their heads now. Mind racing miles a second before she heard a voice hiss out. A voice. Someone trying to talk to them. She knew her team couldn't fight a monster with this sort of power in their current state. Parum knew that she couldn't dare defeat it either. Not with weapons or magic. But the fact it was talking to them, trying to communicate and not kill them, gives her a chance. She needed to use the only talent she has: her words. Running back towards the egg nest Parum spoke loud and clear towards the mysterious monster voice.

"We're not here to fight you!" Parum says this as she drops her sling, showing the monster that she indeed is not here to fight it. "We're here because of the cultists here who have harmed many innocent people, and we've come to stop them. I don't know who you are, but I'm sure that you're not part of their cult, right?" Parum was taking a gamble here now. Surely a monster like this works for the Dragon Cultist, but surely not because it believes in their cause, right? "I'm sure a... Being such as yourself has their reason for being here. But the Cult is no more. Only dead bodies remain here, from kobolds to humans to half-dragons. They all fled, and there isn't anyone left who remains. We've no quarrel with you so perhaps we can come to an arrangement. Whatever the cultist could've given you, I can guarantee that we can do better."

Yukari Yozakura

Arriving to the training grounds, Yukari did a few stretches while they waited. It wasn't long before the older students arrived, and one of them called Mina and Reina away. Yukari wasn't sure why, but thanks to her sharp hearing she heard what Greyson had to say. More importantly, she heard Reina and Mina too. It surprised Yukari that Reina was so... Belligerent. She didn't say much, but what she did say was dripping with strong emotions, a spite that Yukari could almost sympathize with. Greyson thought Reina might hold them back, and now Reina wanted to prove him wrong. She understood this well, and frankly hearing Reina say those words almost encouraged Yukari. She was nervous, but if Reina could show some attitude towards Greyson... Yukari can't let herself falter either. She wasn't going to be the old Yukari who couldn't do much in a fight and gets defeated by villains. She was going to be a better Yukari, one who can defeat anyone, and save everyone.

Once she heard Mina and Reina come back, Yukari walks over to them. She could hear Mina congratulate Reina and Yukari wanted to say something too. "Even if they might know our weaknesses, they don't know how much we've changed. They're going what happens when they underestimate us today." Yukari says with confidence, clutching her fist with eagerness. Not too far away, Dulga was explaining the strategy to the group. She hopes the others don't over hear her, otherwise they'll learn to adapt to their plans easily. Yukari looked over to Mina with a nod. "It looks like you and I will be in the same team, Kasuke-san. I think we'll work well together, so don't be afraid to use your powers around me." Yukari covered her eyes with a bandage from her belts. "I don't need eyes to see we'll beat them."

After striking the egg, Parum loads another rock into her sling. But as she did, the party collectively noticed the tentacles moving towards them. Kobolds she expected, drakes are natural, heck even a big brute with an axe bigger than Parum wouldn't be unusual. But black tentacled monsters that could see them in these conditions? There was no way Parum was going to deal with that. She heard Kyra tell everyone to back away, and Parum would gladly do so. She moved away from the cave mouth as far as she could go, hiding behind anything or anyone large enough to hide her shape, even her fellows if they were nearby. She gripped her sling fearfully, unsure of what might be coming after them next.

Sorry for the late reply, but I did post a few days ago. You're up if there's anything Brannor can do to help.

"Sounds like a good idea to me. Though let's be careful as well, I'm sure if there's anything guarding these eggs, they'll notice us quickly." Uncertain if what Parum was seeing was actually the eggs or not, she set down her viol and sheathed her rapier to take out the sling she had taken off some of the dead kobolds. She remembered practicing these with her parents, a sort of traditional halfling weapon. She never really liked it though, too rustic for her tastes. Picking up a stone from the cave floor, Parum slung it towards the oval shapes. She heard it bounce off, uncertain of how much damage she did, but certain that she accomplished something at least. "Few more like that and we should be able to break the eggs and complete one part of the mission." Parum said quietly.

Can I use Vicious Mockery on it? If not, I'll use a sling from the kobold.

D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

Following up the rest the party reached the end of the hall with a rope ladder. It must’ve gone up, but just where exactly Parkin wasn’t entirely certain. She vaguely remembers a few rooms they didn’t fully explore previously, so this ladder could lead towards them. It was obviously some form of secret entrance considering there was what appeared to be some sort of carpet covering it, so Parum made a mental note that the party would need to be careful coming out. They could either surprise whoever is in there, or get caught in an ambush themselves.

”Good idea Orchid. Cut the rope and we’ll come back for this later.” Parum let a few sparks of magic escape her finger tips. She could still use some minor mending magic so fixing the rope won’t be an issue.

D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

That plan works for me. Parum's a little too short if we cut the ropes too high, but her magic ought to be able to fully mend the ropes if we cut it. Let's just be careful moving forward, I have no more spells to support anyone if things go bad.

Yukari Yozakura

It’s been a while since Yukari has been back to class. Or at least that’s how it feels like. After everything that happened it was almost strange to just get back into the daily routine. Wake up, go to school, learn things, go home, then wake up to do that all over again. But there was one thing different. Little by little, Yukari has tried to make some changes. Not just in her own ability but just overall. She’s been trying to talk to others, open up a bit more, socialize. It wasn’t easy since everyone tends to have their own thing going on but she’s been doing her best to at least be there for whenever something happens. She wasn’t going to let her injury prevent her from being part of something big.

During training Yukari had been practicing with her hero gear as well as conditioning her senses. Thanks to those earbuds she brought, sonic attacks don’t bother her quite as much thanks to their automatic sound dampeners. She’s also opted to wear a mask to handle any airborne toxins. After that it was just a matter of practicing and getting used to using her powers around others. She wasn’t much of a fighter before, but as long as she thinks of things more like a performance than a fight, she’s able to adapt much more easily. She also upgraded her scarf too. It’s still like the normal one meant to bind and entangle her opponents, but it also has an upgrade: when it is taut, it creates a spongy cushion outwards. This means if she wraps her scarf around weapons, like blades or rods, it prevents cutting and softens the impact but a lot. Very helpful against those with weapons.

When Yukari came into class she got her voice recorder out. She was struggling to keep up with some of the classes due to lacking usable notes, so she’s started to make her own recordings of the lessons so she can review them if she forgets anything. But for today’s hero lesson, they weren’t doing another lecture. No, it was training. But not just any training! Training with the upperclassmen! This was exciting for Yukari. So far all she’s been training against is her fellow students in 1A. She feels like she is getting familiar with them by now, so a change of pace was nice. Yukari would head towards the locker rooms and get changed, equipping her new gear as she heads over to training ground Alpha.
