Dreams continues to struggle against the snake, straining with all her might to break free of its grip.

The Dragon - Fluxhold: Round 4-5
Nate grunts in satisfaction as Poltur goes down, pretty sure with that much raw damage the man is down for good. Looking back to Dreams, he pauses for a second to take in the tactical scene. He's never really shot into water much. First of all there's no real need to, and second it's a waste of perfectly good ammunition. A spear or a net is all you need for hunting, after all.
Well, there's a first time for everything. Aiming as best he can, he carefully starts firing again.

The Dragon - Fluxhold: Round 4-5
Torias moves with his spirit, for now the best option seems to swing through the watery year into the snake's belly. Both him and the dwarf spirit strike, each hitting with an axe blow that causes the blue water droplet to start to turn crimson instead.
Nate reload and positions, and fires, but he can't see through the watery, and there is a chance he shoots Dreams so he's hesitant. His shows just sort of go wide and blow off some portions of water, but none of the snake.
Dreams struggles mostly in vain, she's outclassed here. Then suddenly she's falling! The snake lets go and recoil up into the upper reaches of the suspended water droplet. Dreams falls out of it through the room and splashes into the pools below. It would see the creature is more worried about living than it is fighting you, and you pause a moment, as Dreams struggles in the pool to grab the sides, and you seem safe enough for the moment.

"Ok, lets get everyone healed first." He intones: "Earth to earth and blood to blood, Make whole what has been broken!" A burst of healing energy emenates from the priest, and everyone feels better. Then Torias touches wounded with his wand to make them feel even better.
Then Torias walks over to Poltur and searches him. "I wonder what he was planning..."

Dreams sits a moment at the edge of the pool, panting, wearily looking up at the snake to make sure it doesn't attack again. After Torias heals her, she says, "Thank you," and slowly gets to her feet.
In response to Torias' question, she says, "As I recall, he was planning to raise an undead dragon turtle to start a campaign of piratical terror. Hopefully, we stopped him--but we should make sure there is no undead dragon turtle ready to wreak havoc."

Nate carefully approaches, his firearm continuing to point at where the snake went. If the monster is willing to leave them alone he has no further quarrel with it, but he wants to be careful. "Lets search Poltur's body, see if we find anything informative. And just because he's dead doesn't mean the danger is over. Other people might still be hard at work bringing down disaster. And like you said, undead dragon turtle. Doesn't sound friendly."

Dreams nods. "Searching his body sounds like a good place to start."

The body of Poltur is searched as the healing is taking place and you find a few items of interest, which between your various magical spells and knowledge decode to be....

The Dragon - Where To Now
Dreams says, "If we're dealing with a dragon turtle, undead or otherwise, it's most likely under water. We should sail around the island and then head to the remaining island. And we should ... drag an anchor or something through the water to see if it catches on any giant zombies? I really wish we had some potions of water breathing right about now."
