Rescue and Healing Operation

at times he can barely be heard saying something about visiting some place as he grinds his teeth..

a bright light shines from his forehead this time not controled by him at all and images flood his mind as they do he seems to calm and relax somewhat they longer he stays in this state.. *tho his hands more tremble now than twitch it is noticable something was going on* he snaps out of it at nrai speaking the light instantly vanishes.. maybe so if i had my full energy i might could do something else but a portal might work let me ask and speak with those that know this place..

Valtore can be found climbing out of the Bunker to the south. His kin having been taken to the AV camp for treatment. "Tha Halls be in a dead magic area after two crystals of the Netheral were destroyed there. So ye canna open a portal there. Nothing but hard work lies ahead of us." He sighs obviously tired, "we'll make them Zhents pay fur this don't ye doubt" he mutters as he drinks from his flask and turns to make some notes on his map of where the tunnel collapsed.

*After that Nraion would start offering help to whomever needs it Although its clear that he can't do much with this Situation*

blue would simply offer a force field outside of the tunnel and freeze the lava up top at spot it pours out from down as the force field is maintained tho so long as he is there and able to as a precaution should the lava start to flow again.. by now the lava should have stopped flowing and field in place allowing them to start excavating the tunnel..

(all this is based on dm approval tho if they do not approve i will delete my posts)

*Taklin continues to walk around tending to the trees as best he can. A few wind gusts to try to give the trees some breathing room do virtually nothing as there is nowhere for the fresh air to come from and he dare not call for rain for fear it would bring more of the sulfurous poisons to the roots. Anyone close enough would hear him muttering apologies to the trees and asking that they hold on for a bit longer and not break under the stifling toxic air before calling on his Patron to lend his aid for his brothers.*

blue can see the lava melting thru again and tho his force field should hold up he oders any with in to step back incase to wait and see what happens if it holds he would allow them to continue if not then they would still be able to do so in another fashion..

The Wall of Force spell used by Blue has a maximum duration of 30 minutes and fails after this amount of time and allows the lava to flow through again. The flow is slow enough that any rescue workers have time to get out of its path.

deciding this would be tedious he asks those in charge if they want him to continue 30 minutes at a time and offers up the idea of portal below the lava and one over zhents barracks allowing a return gift to be sent per say with an almost vendictive look on his face.. or do we have other options in mind.. what ever holds him back only blue truely knows.. "i can portal it any where you wish tho i would suggest a small portion be returned to those who caused this.. i can place a portal insidethe lava it self effectively draining it somewhat but i dont think this is normal even normal lave would start to cool naturaly after being exposed this hasnt"

"Always making a mess... Demons and wizards and wars," Cole sighed as he walked through the rimwood with his bear. "Well... At least we need to be able to breathe..." Looking at the center of the crater, he cast a spell to control the winds, causing them to blow in toward the crater and cause a stron updraft to carry away and disperse the volcanic gasses.

Cole is successful in diverting some of the gases away from the work area, making it easier to breathe closer to the collapsed entrance and around the suffocating trees.

blue would nod to the man and say simply "lets hope it works and stays this way if not then i can make true breath potions but that will take time to cover all these faces"


(((( dm please delete this one post here i have no idea how it posted twice ))))

blue would nod to the man and say simply "lets hope it works and stays this way if not then i can make true breath potions but that will take time to cover all these faces" he thinks for a moment then looks over at nrai saying "remind me later to try a modified version of this for you"

Sahiba continues her work in directing the druids who come to lend aid to where their talents would be best suited. Some she sends to help Muirne heal the animals, others she sends to begin casting cold spells upon the lava flow to help slow it down. Still others she sends to help with the rescue operations and healing of the sick and injured.
...

Muirne is grateful for any help that comes her way. She alternates between sending those who help her for medicinal plants, oils and other supplies for salves and tinctures. Any who approach skilled in such things she asks them to make potions and such. What isn't used for her animal patients she sends with those who aid in healing elsewhere. Those who can, she asks them to seek out the wounded and/or sick animals, calm them and bring to the tent for care... And when she can, she leaves someone skilled at the tent so that she can nap beneath a nearby tree, seek supplies, or the like.

When the Great Elder approaches, Muirne politely asks for a moment of her time, she speaks to the gnomish druidess in private before returning to her place in or around the tent. ((PM Incoming))

After research a lot in the library Corb goes to the camp to see if My'Manir need help. Before he goes to the camp he takes a lot of healer kits on the Akh'Velahr's vault. When he arrives to the camp and see the "Injured Animal Care tent" he looks inside. If Muirne is inside the tent or she is near caring an animal he talks.

"Please M'Lady, take this. It can be useful to you."

Corb offers to her some healer kit. After this he goes to talk with My'manir.
...

She is easily found and graciously accepts the supplies with as good of a smile as she can muster. "Thank you, I am certain it will be put to good use." She does not chat overly long, leaving the Elves to their doings as she continues with her own work.

My'manir would have no quarries with Nraion being a helpful hand. She would send him where his abilities were best served. If he was suited for cooking she would send him to aid the chef in the kitchen tent; if healing was his strength she would send him to help out the clerics and druids, Muime included.

If he offers aid to Muirne, she graciously accepts, putting him to tasks that won't unsettle her 'patients' or interfere in the Druids' working. If his aid isn't suited for her needs she politely sends him to aid others, thanking him as he goes her way.

Those she does not know, or those that come to help that do not walk Nature's paths are all treated kindly. Those who truly wish to help are given tasks similarly to what Nraion was offered. Those interested learning or that ask questions get what answers and knowledge Muirne is able to impart. Those that have skills that could aid others better than she could make use of, she sends along with a thank you and a kind smile.

((Now for the Broad strokes))

Muirne's patients comprise less of those with burns from initial fires and the initial lava flow as time wears on as most of them instinctually avoid the fire-prone area now. If the risk of fire doesn't shy them away, the heavy traffic and magic no doubt would. There is still no shortage of things to cause wounds to the animals. Everything from smoke, and toxic air, splinters from the inn as well as broken glass, broken limbs from dislodged rocks, injuries sustained during the initial attack, or from damaged homes as trees were damaged or fell, or the resulting chaos in the moments and days that have followed. She treats those that she can, and comforts those she cannot, these tasks done with such care, as though she knows each one personally.

She wasn't generally going far from the Injured Animal Tent. Once, the day before she made her way to Myth Drannor for supplies, but didn't remain there long. When she went to rest, she would go to the tree with 'her friends the bluebirds' in it. She would make herself comfortable beneath the tree, that thankfully had been spared much of the devastation the area suffered. She would talk with the bluebirds, watching them for signs that they too were sick from smoke or what have you. As it were though, she she did not send them away from their home so long as they were not suffering ill effects. After her 'conversation' with the birds, she would yank her boots off to glare at them furiously, lost to her own thoughts until she fell asleep. She would rest until she was needed, or until she no longer felt the need to sleep. Begrudgingly, the boots would go back on before she stood to resume her work.

She spent some of her evening in conversation with My'manir and a few others. My'manir's offer of a meal was not refused. Being a farmer's and a warrior's daughter, it was clear that she was taught to eat efficiently, neatly, and she would... down to the last crumb. She would then return her dishes whence they came, all but washed.

The wounded rabbit she cared for much of the day before, seems to have recovered from his burns at last. Try as she might, she can't get the little fellow to go his way, and finally compromises with the intent to make arrangements for him to stay in the grove.

In her few idle moments, the small druidess seems lost to her thoughts and quiet. She frowns from time to time. Querries about what has her distracted are usually answered by touching on the current troubles in the Rimwood, or blamed on her dislike for having boots between her feet and the earth. However, she reasons that it would do little good for her to burn her feet, or get a bit of glass lodged in one.

As always she avoids subjects of politics, religion or blame. She maintains a polite but tired countenance, saving the bulk of her kindness for the animals in her care. If anyone asks what supplies she does need, she tells them what is most needed at the time of thier asking, offering grateful smiles and a genuine thank you when they return with them.

She is always glad to help her fellow Druids, should they ask. When she can, she does not pass up the opportunity for conversation, as it is a chance to sit still. Occasionally checks with Sahiba as the day wears on. She waits paitently for direction or decisions made by the Circle, and as preparations and precautions are put in place. She is pleased to see such harmony among the Circle, even though she loathes the circumstance that brought it about.

((Side note to the DMs Involved: If there are specific animals she should care for, let me know. Thanks!))

Her pack is full of supplies and a determined look of purpose is etched upon her face. She seeks out Sahiba and pulls her aside for a moment to give some further instructions.

((PM sent))

Sahiba listens to those instructions with a nod before placing her hands together and bowing respectfully. Once the Great Druid leaves, the young druidess returns to her work.

*nraion Would look from his cooking before glaring at Blue with his Serptaine Eyes before going back to work calmly cutting and place veggiatables into a soup*

Valtore nods listening to Leo, "the guards are out now and tha only problem be the blockage I believe. We just need ta take tha time ta dig out the tunnel. We need ta be careful of cave ins. If ye believe ye be of better help here healin and watchin tha folk it's fine Lad."

blue would have been seen investigating the site checking the lava freezing it shattering it watching it thaw quickly and flow back into the rest..

Sahiba can also been seen studying the arcane molten rock. She frowns, as thus far no dispell has been powerful enough to overcome the enchantment. Every spell of cold they cast only works for a short time before the rock become molten again. The best their efforts have been able to do is slow the flow of this unnatural force.

"It's being fed from somewhere, but... where?" She asks herself. The land had told her the crater did not connect to the deep parts of the earth, and thus far they had found no evidence of portals or other such magics.

Sighing, she rubbed her eyes. "Great Druid, I fear I have reached my wits end." She muttered softly to herself. "No mage I have spoken to has been able to give any clues, nor have I been able to make out much more from the land's screams...."

Standing, the young druidess stretches and makes her way to the small encampment her people have set up, a short distance from the Ahk'Vehlar encampment. Sahiba felt as if her mind had been packed in clay and thought some rest would help.

During the night, a dire boar, angered at having been displaced, attacked the camp. It was brought down quickly, but not being one to waste such a boon, Sahiba set about to cleaning the boar for the raw materials it might provide.

The meat, she and Cole divided to have some smoked, and some dried. The skin, gave to one of the others to be tanned. The innards she brought for the carnivores to eat. The tendons she had processed to make bow strings and other things out of, while the bones were prepared for other supplies. Nothing of the kill went to waste.

Once tasks were set, she traveled to the Ahk'Vehlar camp and offered to share the bounty of the kill with them.

(( *note: the boar thing happened in game, I'm just making a note of it here. Also, the information provided here about the difficulties of solving the molten rock problem are all DM approved. ))

blue would try arcan disjunction on the lava fragments he is studying and watch for a reaction before continuing on.. mean while he occasionaly thinks about returning some lava thru a portal to shadowdale over the barracks possibly or ..* he stops there and contimplates other targets* and returns to studying the lava looking for change or reaction to the spell..

Outside of the crater, the lava acts as normal lava does. It cools and turns to stone after is is removed from the crater. The Disjunction spell has no effect as it is simply a mundane piece of rock, at this point.

Iwean will continue to mingle with the people in the area of the devastation. He will not stray far from the tent or Sahiba and Cejari. If either of the two leave the area he will follow in stealth mode unless told to stay behind. He will make any reports of unusual activity or findings to Cejari. He will also keep an eye out for the Druidess Ceola. "Greetings Druidess its been a while since we've talked."

Valtore returns to the bunker with his two kin and together they start the digging out. Using old fashion methods of physical labor. Filling buckets with earth and stone to be lifted out and dumped to the side of the hill. He asks for volunteers, as well as someone to gather some support beams for the tunnel so there isn't another cave in. All three dwarves work continuously barely stopping to rest or eat. Dwarven stubbornness and stamina at it's best.

"Yes I feel that many people are in need of healing, and not just a body healing, but also their spirits. Don't take me wrong, I know that dwarven spirits are strong, but not only dwarves are caught in this tragedy. Should you need my assistance for digging, you may find me there where the pain lays." Leo offers healing to wounded people and animals (if any) and after some time he leaves the scene without telling anyone. After approximately half hour, he returns in form Ice Spirit with carrying a big space cold meteor and the pieces of it floating around him via tornado. He protected himself against cold and heat immunity, and tests lava reaction by throwing a small piece of space cold meteor in it. The spirit's goal is obviously to hold of the flow of lava or at least temporarily slow it down with the meteor cold like like this, so people in Rimwood can gain the benefit of it. He of course would not do anything that would increase damage that is already made by zhentarim, and with magic that grants him sight into the very near future, he could foresee the possible outcome of his influence on the land and avoid mistakes. The Ice Spirit is close enough to Blue Mage, obviously interested in his opinion of this action as well.

((The spell used is Meteor Swarm based on the changes laid out here...https://dalelandsbeyond.rpg-board.net/t1470-custom-changes-to-dalelands-beyond))

The icy meteor cools the lava in the crater for a short time but it heats up again rather quickly. Should Leo cast the same spell on the flow over the caved in entrance to the Halls, the flow will cool and harden, but it doesn't stop the flow so it is soon covered again.
