She went back to simply trying to ignore Burg and Warg and followed Sticky out with her arms folded. Caeda listened to Sticky trying to apologize to the two orcs, but she didn't care about their reason, she simply didn't like how they acted. But what did matter right now was Sticky and Othie. "Outside my cabin door, it sounded like you wanted to talk more. So let's talk, and find something to eat as all these battles left a stomach very hungry." Giving a friendly pat on his shoulder, she then gestured to follow her as she began walking towards the kitchen. "I feel that I, or everyone on this ship, still owe you a lot. Without you, we all may have been too late with what was happening down in the storage. And for that, how about I treat you with some food?" As the two walked towards the kitchen decided to ask. "To start, What did you use to do before you found yourself on this ship? And by that, I mean your life journey before you started working here?" The question was perhaps a big one, but given how differently Sticky appears and acts ever since she met him, it made her curious.

Irritating brutes, this was what Caeda thought of Burg, Warg, and the other crew members when she initially boarded the ship. She tried to simply ignore them, but noticed Sticky remaining quiet with the two orcs' pestering him, which further annoyed Caeda of their continued presence. Then with the mention of the Sticky swiping something from her, she turned her turned attention and shot glares at the two orcs. "Enough from you two. We both risked our live up on deck and below in storage. So cease this pestering. I simply came here as Sticky requested a discussion, somewhere else than here." She kept her glare on the Burg and Warg while keeping her back to only Sticky where she had one hand gesturing for him to come. "Sticky, I'm ready to leave when ever you are."
Caeda released a big sigh as she heard Othie was feeling better, especially given her current state. But with the sound of the pixie's stomach growling and the question of wine, Caeda simply smiled. "Oh, no that is not wine, its a healing potion. I thought you were hungry, not thirsty. Now lets go find you something to eat before we rest." Once she made sure that Caeda was hidden and comfortable enough in the bag, she looked around to find Sticky so they could both go find something to eat and talk as Sticky seemed to have more things on his mind. Meanwhile, she planned to try save some in her bag for later, but would actually just hand it to Othie to eat.

I believe I mentioned before that Clan MacAlister is no friend to dragons or anything that resembles or associates with dragons. Considering the fact that lizardfolk both resemble and associate with dragons, Angus will not be pleased with welcoming them into the party, though he won't do anything beyond grumble about it if he's the only one opposed to the lizardfolk joining.
Could be something worth talking about IC, since it's actually Ulhar's personal pet peeve that people mistake him as a Dragonborn or has any real history with dragons. Neither he nor his people, the Deep Water Tribe, have any notable history with dragons and has more of a history in regards to their troubles and trials with humans and other foreign settlers. Namely, how Madam Merseger looked like a prophet leading her people to the promised land, but for the lizardfolk who lived in the desert she lead an army that forced them out from their ancestral homes and made many tribes shut themselves off from the outside world for their own protection.
Ulhar himself understands this ancestral hatred but doesn't care much for it himself. He sees it as old history and doesn't want to beholden to have grudges only his ancestors feel strongly for. For him, that was just messy business and a natural part of living in this sort of environment; predators compete with one another for the spoils of nature, and the Lizardfolk lost. That's why Ulhar now travels to learn more about the world outside so he can one day teach them how to start winning.
Okay then, well I'm okay with Ulhar's backstory and character sheet. Just finish with the character sheet that is in the first post and then you can add him to the character tab. Then we can discuss on how Ulhar will be inserted into the story. But before then, I may have some more things related to Ulhar to discuss.
Celeste nodded and smiled at the sound of good news so far. What was once sadness before when the were approaching the turn to the spacious room, she now became determined. Once she had a good look at Angus's injured state, she quickly made her way towards him and began to heal his wounds. As she heard the party discuss their next plan of action, her eyes went wide when she heard the Ironbane deciding on staying here in this room for an hour, but her spirit went up when Orchid pursued the action to continue further before its too late. "She's right, my guardians must be somewhere up those stairs. If we can go now, I'm sure we could maybe release them in time and they can help fight these people that kidnapped us."
At Najila mentioned the ideas of traps, Azzen spoke up. "Well if they were preparing traps, I would think they would have already have some ready back in that long hall that we walked through. I say this due to the fact that although we killed their men down by the jail, they somehow knew to send us a written message when we were preparing down in the storage room. Meaning, they must have known back when we were in that jail room questioning that guy. But that just leaves more with more questions. What they lack in traps, what do they have instead."
"Like these kobolds and drake. The dragonborns of Draverros knew the secrets of how to train and breed draconic creatures and is home to many kobolds. It is only the creation of the Novus Alliance was when we started seeing more of them, but the breeding and distribution is only said to be handled by high ranking officials as to help maintain this secret trick. But then there is this." Azzen pulled out what only a few in the room would have heard about, but Orchid may have seen before. He pulled out and twirled between his fingers was small magitech, that of a small firearm. He toyed with it for a few seconds, and caused it to shoot out a small bolt of fire. "I found this hidden on the half orc. Although Angus gave the guy a beating, you didn't seem to search him for any valuables. But anyways, magitechs like this are only found with soldiers from the Veteris Empire and will only attune once and become unusable upon death or far enough from the user for an extended period. But I've heard some powerful spellcasters know a trick to prevent it from being unusable and instead be used by anyone. I say all this because what they lack in traps, they clearly succeed in resource. Basically, when we do decide to go up there, we should just be ready for anything." Then directed himself to Angus with a bit of a stern look across his face. "If you do change your mind and follow us soon to finish these guys, I'll give you another healing, on the condition that this time you keep your distance than standing near danger. And if it helps keeps your distance, use one of those light crossbows on the ground. I'm sure those dead kobolds won't be using them."
Aron during this time was on guard as he kept an eye and ear to notice if anyone else came down the stairs or the large door. Once Azzen finished his long explanation, Aron simply asked, "If they want something from us, then why don't we just give it to them and during that brief moment when their guard is down, we attack?"

Also I was curious and feel I must ask, how would Angus react and behave with a lizardfolk in the party?

She voiced her thoughts out loud, "Oh! I actually did it? Huh!"
Her damage was exactly met the remaining health of the drake. It really surprised me how much damage it was, but then realized you had hex and the extra evocation damage. So nice job with that.
Also I won't make a post yet, but just a heads up, Celeste would motion herself towards Ironbane, quickly walking up to Ironbane and heal his very injured body.
With the fighters guarding against the drake as the fight against it and Azzen pulling Ironbane from a far enough distance to be safe. Najila had a clear shot as the drake back was against Najila as it stood on its back legs angrily to find a spot to harm Aron with its weight against it. It was during this moment that Najila's blast flew through with success as its force pierced through the drake and causing to slump to the ground, dead.
As silence returned to the room, all that could really be heard were the breaths of the party recovering from the just finished battle and the sound of faint, but heavy winds beating against the large wooden door in the very spacious room with four benches loosely placed on the sides of the room. Then there is the stone stair case leading further up this building. With the sound of combat finished, Celeste poked her head around the corner of the hall and softly asked "Are we safe again?"

The drake focused seemed intent on chewing up the highlander that Orchid's glaive attack was not enough yet to deter it from its kill yet. But seeing Ironbane fall once again and being chewed away, and made his way to push the drake off from his companion. Readying his shield for extra protection, he dove in running and swung his blade against the the drake, leaving a serious slash wound, and with the force of the swing, flung it against the nearby wall. As the drake tried standing back up and the two fighters of the party focused on the drake, Azzen took the opportunity to safely move and pull the Ironbane away from the heated battle. Once they were a safe enough distance, Azzen casted another healing spell to at least have the highlander at the ready. "Now stop being so reckless, again."
Once the drake was able to stand up, it tried to move, but breifly shuddered in pain as booming blade effect took effect as pain would suddenly ripple across is body. But through rage of everyone's immediate and current injured state, it simply lashed out on the nearest person, being Aron. But with his shield and armor, the drake was unable to leave any notable damage on Aron as he blocked and dodged its attacks.

Thanks for having me. I'm still reading up on the lore and trying to think of where my character could come from, but my first concept would be a warforge gloomstalker ranger, with the Mariner fighting style if you'll allow it. Both are WoTC materials and UA respectively. But if you need healers, I can roll a dream druid/life cleric instead.
A warforge I would most likely imagine being from the Veteris since they specialize in golem creation. The creation of warforges would make sense as during and after the battles between the Veteris Empire and Novus Alliance, the empire would not have as many soldiers that they would have from the once outer towns and cities militia. But in what they lack in numbers, they had more readied understanding and enough resource at the time to create more advance magitech and creations like golems. The warforges would just be another product to help increase their army power and size. Although they are not a complete replacement or seen as a majority, they are the occasional 1 or 2 seen with a squad of soldiers either on patrols, guard, scouts, etc. So perhaps a warforge as a gloomstalker ranger may have been on missions to scout the northern regions of the Verteris Empire.
I think I'll go with pure druid. Now, just to determine if I want to do Dream for healing, or Shepard for bigger support.
For a druid, they could easily be placed in most of the major regions. and yes, having a healer/support for the party would be nice. My next question as you decide the subclass would simply be what do you have in mind for this druid's back story, why they may be adventuring, their likes and dislikes, and what goal(s) that the seek to achieve?
