To Korrik: "I could attempt to neutralize the poison, but I'd need to rest to regain my magic. If that doesn't work, I'd have to amputate."
In Draconic: "Do you have one of the fey daggers? Knowing the poison would help. Healing him is a considerable challenge. I may fail. But I will try. I will need to gather my strength tonight before I attempt it tomorrow. If I can't stop the poison, I may have to remove the (*I don't remember where the wound is - leg?). His survival this long shows his strength and courage, but would you accept his rule if he could not walk? I will do what I can to help for tonight, but the real test for us both will be tomorrow."
Kal casts Cure Wounds, knowing it won't be enough, but better than nothing, then consults with Artho to see if they can think of any herbs that might be more effective.
(At least they'll have motivation to help us with the fey problem...)

"If you must wait, you must wait. But know that if he dies while you sleep, your life is forfeit.
We do not have any such weapons. When he returned, he was alone."
The lizardfolk who you saved in the swamp grunts.
"The ones that attacked us might have left something behind. Their bodies burned up, but there might be something if the beasts haven't scattered it all into the water by now. We can take a look but it would take most of a day to get there and back."
The elders looks thoughtful.
"It is a significant risk, but perhaps it will be worth it. Take two of our fastest remaining scouts and see what you can find."
Merric stands nearby, fidgeting with his salt-water bottle while Kal translates.

Inside the hut:
► Show Spoiler
Varsk growls a warning at the elf, who visibly trembles again as he draws another arrow to his bow.
Mehriv ducks towards the window and fires his three Magic Missiles into the encroaching lizardfolk's body. With a groan, the creature collapses to the ground and out of sight. In the dim light from the window, Mehriv catches a glance of two more lizardfolk outside as he ducks back into cover himself. The door crashes in its frame and wood begins to splinter as the defenses finally begin to fail and the rain begins to spatter in through a 1-2 inch crack as the door finally begins to open. A shout of delight goes up from the pair outside the front door, as they are joined by two more who add their strength to forcing the door.
From the outside, Gwen sees the two lizardfolk who'd been snared in the garden finally break free and sprint towards the entrance of the hut to join their companions.

Kal nods. (Did the cure spell have any noticeable effect? Was there a reaction/response to amputation?) He'll prepare Cure, Detect Poison, and Bless for tomorrow.

((Ah yes, those.))
Give me an insight check please.
Cure wounds helped knit the tissue together somewhat, but you would be able to see that it's only a temporary measure and that healing him will require more than a few HP.

Varsk switches quickly to his greatsword upon seeing the cracks opening in the door. He runs up and slams it through the gap into the body of the nearest, unsuspecting lizardfolk.
Great sword attack through door:
1d20+6 = [20] = 26
Damage:
4d6+4 = [5, 2, 1, 1] = 13
((Yeah crit! Boo crap damage.
DC 11 poison on the blade))

Coyote Code seems to be down, so I went to random.org and rolled a d20 there.
Insight 1d20+3 = 17+3 = 20
I can't remember if I have another spell available today or if anyone in the party still needs it.

Kal sees a flicker of disgust cross the faces of the elders at the mention of amputating the leg, and there is a hushed murmur of voices from those who are close enough by to overhear the conversation. A glance from one of the elders silences it. It seems it might be better than leaving K’tharis to die, but it would certainly not be their first choice.
Druid Group
Inside the hut:
► Show Spoiler
Varsk jams the blade of his greatsword into the gap where the door is beginning to open, and it meets flesh, carving a deep, bloody gash through the hide of the nearest lizardfolk, who seems barely able to withstand the blow.
Behind him, there is a sound of smashing clay as two burning molotovs are thrown in through the now-open window. One cracks open against the window frame and sputters against the rain, dribbling most of its oil down the outside of the window but the other smashes on the floor of the hut, spilling its contents across the floor ((the 5-foot square below and to the right of the window (2 down from the bed) is now on fire)). Valemgadro yelps in alarm and Vaceran rushes to pull him off the bed and further away from the flames.
Syli takes a shot at the lizardfolk who's still fleeing south from the shed. It staggers as the arrow thuds deep into its flank, but it keeps running and makes it to the house where it escapes her and Gwen's line of sight.
Syli's attack:
A bolt of lightning splits the sky in half overhead and a deafening crack of thunder explodes around the little clearing. In the flash of light, Gwen and Syli both see a pair of humanoid figures moving just inside the edge of the forest.
What Syli sees:
► Show Spoiler
One is much larger than the other, appearing to be heavily muscled and well-armed but both appear reptilian. The smaller of the two is holding some kind of staff, but that's about as much as either can make out before the clearing goes dark again.
Behind her, Gwen hears a cry of triumph and the thud of pounding footsteps as the snared lizardolk behind her finally breaks free of its bonds and gives chase!

Rolling for enemy HP really keeps things interesting when there's time for it
Gwen is up.

Gwen fires an eldrich blast at the lizardman following her, moving closer to the hut.
[1d20+6] = 13+6 = 19[1d10] = 10

Gwen spins to fire an eldritch blast at her pursuer, but it goes wide and she keeps running. She's about halfway to the house, and the lizardfolk is about 50 feet behind her and coming up fast.
Mehriv is up.

Mehr curses as the fire takes, moving so that he can see one of the lizards at the window and fires off a Firebolt at one of them.
1d20+3 = [16] = 19,
1d10 = [4] = 4

Mehriv moves towards the burning window, but can't see the lizardfolk from the angle he's at. If he wants to stick his head out to get a better look, he'll be at risk of burning himself from the flames licking up the window frame... (It's starting to burn up one side - it's not an inferno, but it's still fire).

Hmm... Nah, instead he'll just prepare an action to cast the Fire Bolt if a lizard comes into view.

Mehriv readies more fire to cast towards the existing fire and sits tight.
Inside the hut:
► Show Spoiler
He doesn't have to wait long, as the front door finally gives way and bursts open. Four lizardfolk are silhouetted for a moment in the doorway against the rain and thunderstorm outside and they rush into the cabin, closing in on basically everyone in the confined space. The first lizardfolk through the door takes the fireball straight in the chest as it charges past Varsk towards Mehriv. The injured one hangs back, clutching at its bleeding wound and eyeing Varsk warily as it pulls out a slingshot from its belt. Compared to the others, it's certainly much smaller in stature... Then again, that might just be relative to the very large one that's currently sizing him up.
There appears to be a moment of confusion, as the smouldering lizardfolk looks between Mehriv and Valemgadro and barks (in draconic):
Mehriv?
► Show Spoiler
"Which one is it?"
((Varsk can take an AOO vs the lizardfolk who moves past him, and then it's his turn. He's in melee range with 2, there's the bleeding slingshot guy about 10 feet away, and another who's moved towards the bed to engage Mehriv and the elves. Also there's still fire south and inside of the window and in the window frame. Remember you can also trial you battle master stuff if you want. I forget how we said we'd do it, but I can dig it up when I'm back on a laptop))

Varsk hacks at the lizardfolk rushing past and shouts,
"Got one inside, deal with it. Got these. Probably."
AoO:
1d20+6 = [17] = 23
AoO damage:
2d6+4 = [5, 2] = 11
Varsk turns his attention to the large one sizing him up and swings...missing.

The manuevers were a DC 10 Athletics/Acrobatics check.))
