What Dreams May Come

Silvery barbs on the haywire attack. Re-roll and give advantage to Marvin.

Marvin will keep chipping away at the Angry. He’ll use his bonus action to employ Steady Aim, granting ADV and setting his movement to 0 this turn.

Marvin’s Done

“Fall back!” Warhol shouts to Haywire.

Marvin drops the Angry and shifts fire to the Hungry.

Warhol opens his mouth but nothing comes out as he can only speak in 6 second intervals



Whisp hustles over to his mechanical buddy and touches his back in support.  Haywire's metallic form takes on a grey appearance as he benefits from Whisp's Stoneskin spell.  This also refills WHisp's arcane ward by +8

Angry and Wretched are all dead

If Hungry is still up, Warhol used Misty Step to go to J5

“Fall back,” Warhol shouts to the metal man.

Wolves 1 and 4 hit
Warhol hits then teleports away

Vasyli is up

Vasyli will move to I-8 (even with rough terrain he should get there) and attack twice.

Ok, i think its safe to say that you've won this fight. Hungry can't do much but die slowly at this point. Good job!

They don't have any loot, sorry.

Whisp and Qhular would like to chat. Haywire will drag the bodies off to fungal forrest.

Marvin will recover his arrows and saunter over to check out the fancy wagon. “Sorry about your wheels. You guys ok?”

"What manner of creatures are these? Vasyli never seen creatures like these"

Healing is available if needed for anyone

Whisp replies, " Indeed, most unusual.  They appear to be emotional manifestations.  There is no record of them in Mordekainen's Tomb of Foes volumes one through three, which I studied in depth at the University of Menzoberranzen.  I DO have a currently evolving differential diagnosis, but it requires further information.  Unfortunately, our safety has prematurely ended my research study regarding the present inhabitant of Plake Sniskin's Arcane Tower."
Whisp pauses a moment, then adds, "You seem to be running towards the dragon's fire, as the saying goes.  Perhaps we can compare notes?"


Whisp shivers and rubs his arm, "I never have cared for the dampness of fungal forrests. Too bad there aren't any Dawi Stone Singers about to charm the lava rocks"

Marvin scratches his head as he listens to this peculiar fellow. He KNOWS he’s speaking common, but he can’t make out more than every third word or so. “The Dawi sent us out to discover the source of the bad dreams we’re all having. So far we’ve only found some Carrion Crawlers and these things”

“Always open to sharing information, my new friend, but… eh… What is Plake sniskins arcane tower? We’re, uh, not from around here. We are currently hunting a witch that has been attacking our dreams. If we sleep, there’s a chance we won’t wake up. I believe she already has subdued much of the beholder kin. The Dawi have asked us to investigate their fallen outpost and who might be responsible. So far, none of the known communities communities in this area appear to be involved.”

please head back to the interlude thread, as we are now between chapters in the main story.

everyone can +1UP level your characters while you talk to the NPCs. I really just use milestones for XP, so even though you skipped several encounters, this is really the point for a bump as it ends the sandbox exploration phase and will soon begin the more focused final chapter (once you get a better idea of what is happening and how you want to deal with it)

can we consider this a short rest for the purpose of getting stuff back?
