[color=6ecff6][i]With a clash of darkness and steel, the Cerberus trio were banished and destroyed, proving no match for our band of adventurers. As the shapeshifter's claws rent the last dog's flesh asunder, the warlock released his held spell, returning the banished Cerberus to us to prey upon, but the form lay unmoving in the water. We had defeated the guardians of the Verdant Stream, and before us lay the entrance, wide open and beckoning us forward to explore its caverns. And yet there was just one more thing I needed to take care of first.[/i][/color]

Using her last third level spell, Jill turned towards the aura of Darkness and waved her hand as it dissipated into the shadows, leaving Koan and Noriam visible. "Kneel!" she commanded to Noriam, who felt his knees buckle beneath him as he was forced into a kneeling posture. She approached, her radiant glory shining brightly in a majestic fury. "The next time you banish an enemy I have brought low, I swear upon the heavens..." 

The light from her eyes faded and she looked down towards the warlock, her demeanor changing back to her normal perky self. "Nice work, everyone! Let's go on in before more of those guys come around!" As she passed by Adrevz, another healing touch was shared, and the tiger received [color=6ecff6][b]10[/b][/color] HP.

Cynthia looked on the display with minor confusion, but shrugged as she followed Jill towards the Verdant Stream. As long as the aasimar did not turn her wrath on herself or her druid friend, she had no reason to worry. This was certainly an odd bunch, however.

Utilized the Enthralling Performance feature that she had used prior to arriving at the Verdant Stream, unbeknownst to the party. As Noriam failed his save (rolled in secret), he was not granted a Wisdom Save vs Command. Cast Dispel Magic on the Darkness and Command as a Bonus Action (through Mantle of Majesty) on Noriam, then used the Healing Hands aasimar feature on Adrevz.[/hider]
