Dm Jim: Plans Wednesday July 19th, 2006 1:25:21 PM
OOC: A 250 experience point bonus for Mykael for his suggestion yesterday on a fantastic way to use the ballista and the young wizards.
--------------------------------
Val is bored. The barbarian is craving action, and being cooped up is not her kind of fun.
Rigging calls his war council and David and E, the woman that first spoke against the snake men, attend.
Firstly, Rigging doles out his indentured servants, as the stains of being Captain are enough without having to chase after these undisciplined youths.
Cosmo accepts Juno, Mykael Gordon, and Appolo Eli. The three youths seem to enjoy the attention and Eli comments "Now we are getting somewhere. Hey Appolo got any magic I can borrow." He finishes with a big smile. "Time to get some snake skins."
Rigging sketches out some plans for attack and asks for input from the Wildcards.
E speaks up in a soft voice "I do not want my friends killed by the snakes or you." Her eyes fall upon Appolo. "I will lend my voice to your cause, depending on how you react." Her eyes smoulder as she looks at Appolo.
Mykael suggests that he stay with the Sword, but the Captain overrules his suggestion.
Ashira and John suggest the use of their hide from animal's spells and their plentiful ranger skills.
Cosmo prepares himself to cast his information and diversion spells.
Nezamil casts endure elements on himself and three Wildcards and it has an amazing effect on each. The heat and humidity no longer cause any ill effects. There is no dread as the sun starts to rise high in the clear sky.
Nezamil casts another defensive spell to help the Sword and suggests that the followers be used in the initial assault. The bash brothers are very very pleased with the prospect of payback, even if it is limited. Kirk elbows his older brother in the ribs "I bet I get more of the snakes than you, what you want to bet. You in Nezamil? I want odds from you."
Upon hearing the talk of gambling a few of the crew put their heads together. Conner speaks up. "I want to work on an odds board and we can make some proper bets. Captain what percentage does the house, err...ship, get in this case? " The mood of the ship is improving as people watch the officers get ready for action and talk of fighting back.
Appolo down plays the recent discussions and offers some of his own.
Bart suggests more positional defenses for the Sword.
---------------------------------------------
Cosmo casts his prying eyes spells and he waits for the eyes to return. Nine of the eyes return and each find two similar sized groups that Cosmo described.
First Group: (1)Abomination (2)Half Bloods (5)Full Bloods
Second Group: (1)Abomination (3)Half Bloods (4) Full Bloods
Each group is positioned on opposite sides of the trail to the village about 150 yards down the trail. Each group is about 30 yards into the jungle and they are offset from one another by about 30 yards. The Yuan Ti are armed with bows and scimitars and light armor.
The eyes did spot several groups of 1 - 3 full bloods closer to the edge of the jungle, and they seem to be keeping watch. A few of the eyes were spotted by Yuan Ti and shot at.
-----------------------------------------
Cosmo unleashes his fire elementals and the merrily go to burning the jungle. After the minute of their fun there is much smoke, but it will not last long.
It is about 10:30 am.
Hal looks to Nezamil as his grip tightens on his sword "Payback begins?"
Mykael Wednesday July 19th, 2006 5:17:14 PM
Mykael makes his way to Tomas, "Whether or not our action on the groups in the jungle is successful, the sword will still be pressed. The Captain's plan should work well, and the pressure should be minimal. Try to keep only one work crew in or near the jungle at a time, so they are easier to defend."
Mykael quiets his voice even more, "One thing, the more successful we are in the jungle, the more desperate thier attacks will become. Defenses are looking good, however, the biggest week spot that I can see is the hole in the hull. I would suggest a two man guard on the hole on the inside at all times, especially at night. They can shape-shift sneak through the water and then in the hole and hit you from an area that you may not be ready for, so watch that."
"We know you can handle it, Rigging always speaks highly of you, and we all have seen your capability. Good Luck."
Mykael readies himself for the excusion.
'Ghem, ready for a hunting party?'
Rigging d20+12=18 d20+12=29 d20+12=31 d20+12=27 Thursday July 20th, 2006 8:54:02 AM
Rigging smiles when he hears the report. I think we have found our quarry. I am concerned that they are bait and more are hiding nearby. Have your prying eyes keep looking Cosmo. Still it is bait we can't let get away.
Cosmo direct your fire elementals to burn near those watching groups, I want them distracted and blinded by the smoke.
When we get closer, I want Cosmo to summon some of his nastier monsters to attack the group on the right. Really don't expect them to succeed but enought to wound and slow them down. Then we spell users hit the group on the left with some mass spells, fireballs should do nicely. Overlapp some of those and then we send our burly types in to finish them off.
Ashira, I want 3 groups of fighters. One to help the animals, one to mop up the fireballed folks and finally a group in reserve to deal with the hidden group of Yuan-ti we haven't spotted yet.
Tomas, I want you to stay with the ship and have the marines ready to repel boarders. I am sorry my friend but your my reserve reserve. Be ready to pull our butts out of the fire if you hear lost of our screaming.
Rigging then says, "Cast whatever spells you need and make your preperations. We need to move while those elementals are being distracted. We are going to sprint to the path, Cosmo since you know where they are, your going to have to lead the way.
When everyone is ready, Ashira has split the groups Rigging will also lead the groups quickly up the beach and onto the trail, (Sprinting to the trail and to cover) We then regroup in our proper groups and move down the trail to where Cosmo wants us to go.
Rigging will cast mage armor and protection from arrows on himself.

Appolo ac 23 Hp 68 Thursday July 20th, 2006 11:37:51 AM
Appolo slips out of the group and stands ready.He is quietly fuming.He stands ready to do battle.
Ashira (AC29, HP112/112) Woodland Stride, Barkskin +2 d20+16=18 Thursday July 20th, 2006 11:39:02 AM
Ashira nods. "Ok. Will do dear." Ashira looks over the Wildcards and followers, assessing strengths and weaknesses. "Alright...Val, Bart and Nezamil. You guys are our hard hitters. I want you to go after the group distracted by Cosmo's summoned animals. I don't think they're going to be strong enough to take down those snakemen, but they should do a good job of distracting them so that you guys can cut them down. Melonie can help you guys out." Ashira grins at the fighters and the massive dwarf.
Then she turns to John and Mary. "I want you guys to join up with Hal, Kirk, Appolo and myself. We'll will be taking on the fireballed group. The fireball should take them down a notch or two...and I have no doubts that you can finish up the job, especially with Appolo's killing skills and my aheem leadership." Ashira winks playfully at Appolo.
Finally, she turns to Rigging, Mykael and Cosmo. "You guys will be the reserve. I'll set you up with Hide from Animal spells. Keep out of sight and keep an eye on things. Should a group get overwhelmed, or should the reinforcements show up, I want you guys to be on top of it....and feel free to fire off support from afar dear." Ashira punches Rigging playfully on the arm.
Double checking with Cosmo and Rigging about how long it will take to get to the Yuan Ti...Ashira casts Hide from Animals on Rigging, and Mykeal. Lasts 50min. Then John casts Hide from Animals on Cosmo. Lasts 20min.
Activating her animated shield, Ashira casts Barkskin on herself and follows along after Rigging moving swiftly and quietly through the jungle (Move silently=18....also consider any bonuses for Woodland stride).
Once Cosmo casts his fireball spell, Ashira follows it up with her own spike growth spell on the area where the creatures are standing, forcing them to travel through the spikes to get to the Wildcards (OOC: covers a 100ft. square, Reflex DC 14)
John (AC18, HP35/35) and Mary (AC21, HP20/20) both with Barkskin +2 Thursday July 20th, 2006 11:57:56 AM
So excited that she almost trembles, the red head turns to David. "David...I need you to stay here during the attack. You don't have armor or weapons, and it's going to get dangerous." Mary smiles at the young man, fluffing her hair. "I promise I'll come back." Readying her shield and shortspear, Mary reaches into her pack and pulls out her Barkskin potion and gulps it down.
John sighs as Ashira assigns him to a fighter group. "I'm really more of an archer." He mutters under his breath as he pulls out his hand axes. Pulling out three vials, John drinks one (Barkskin +2) and holds the other two until the fight begins.
Spells in place: Barkskin +2 (John & Mary):30/30 min.
Bart Thursday July 20th, 2006 2:53:56 PM
Well i know wha to do let's kill some slitherings. Cosmo can you cast haste on us just before we attack?
Nezamil info post Thursday July 20th, 2006 5:08:08 PM
Val ,Bart and Ashira all have endure element spells cast upon them
Val (AC 19, HP 139/ 139, Endure Elements) Thursday July 20th, 2006 5:27:53 PM
Val takes her flail from her belt, hefting the heavy weapon in both hands. They were finally doing something. Now she could grind thse snake men under her heel and they could finally be free of this god forsaken land.
Melonie (AC 18, HP 26/ 26) Thursday July 20th, 2006 5:30:32 PM
Melonie grabs her short spear from its place against the wall. She must have restrapped the buckler on her arm a dozen times in anticipation. She began to wonder if her armor was on correctly but pushed those thoughts out of her mind. She had to focus and fight off the nervousness she was feeling.
Cosmo (AC 19; HP 57) d20+12=20 d20+12=17 Thursday July 20th, 2006 8:11:41 PM
As the fire elementals burn the tree line, Cosmo explains a few things to Rigging and the rest of the Wildcards as they cast their spells and prepare for battle.
- I can only give one order to the Prying Eyes. Once they report back in the spell is over. - The fire elementals are burning towards the snake men, but will not be able to reach them in the short time they are on this plane. They will have created a lot of smoke to cover our advancement along the trail. - The snake men are down the trail 150-180 yards (about 225-255 yards from us). The group 30 yards off the right side of the trail is about 30 yards closer than the group on the left, which is also 30 yards off the trail. This info is about 2 minutes old now. - I can cast a fireball from here and try to hit them, but it would be indirect fire as I do not have line of sight. - I have a slow base movement and am therefore going to slow the group down. Plus I do not like to be on the front line as that is not my strength. I can cast Message spell to keep people organized. - The trail is single file and we move about half speed when in the jungle. - Do NOT forget that the Prying Eyes revealed that the snake men were setting traps/snares.
"We need a trap finder up front. Maybe Val and Val's group should go first. We should hustle as fast as we can and start the attack."
Cosmo assumes that the group still moves out down the trail and towards the 2 groups of snake creature. He will take position in the rear of the group so as to not slow down anyone.

Ooc: The marching order down the single file trail is as follows: First group - Val, Melonie, Bart, Nezamil --- Ashira, John, Hal, Mary, Kirk, Appolo, --- Rigging, Mykael, Cosmo.
------------------------------
Conner takes out a pad and paper and starts scribbling and talking to himself "Cosmo is 1:1 to take the lead to kill the most snake men with magic and Ashira is 3:2 to take the lead with the sword."
Rigging gives more orders and has Tomas stay to guard the Sword "We will defend the Sword in the officers absence. We will send out work crews, but we will bury the two dead marines."
Ashira sets the fighting groups and gets John and Mary ready for battle. David seems shamed at Mary's words. "I should be protecting you.
Cosmo does not cast his fireball as he is concerned that the Yuan Ti may have moved since he received the information from the prying eyes.
---------------------------
The fire elementals burn themselves out and there is plenty of smoke and the Wildcards and friends take advantage and quickly move to the trial head and form up to enter the Jungle on the beach to village trail.
The group moves down the trail with each person five feet apart. The tails twists and turns with Val taking the lead. Around one bend, about 100 yards down the trail Val spots three Yuan Ti 40 feet down the path.
The group finds themselves in the middle of an entangle spell. DC 12 save reflex for half movement. The ample vines, palms and brush all reach out for the hero's and grab hold of armor, clothing and equipment.
The two of the three full bloods bend bows and fire at Val.
AC -- 24, hit (81% concealment) 5 damage, a mere scratch. AC -- 8 miss (20%) the arrow strikes a low lying branch.
At almost the same time, three full bloods enter the trail at the rear of the group and bend bows and fire at Cosmo (30 feet).
AC 8, miss AC 18, just miss AC 20, hit (22% concealment) 4 damage - The quick strike to eliminate the killer of Yuan Ti failed.
--------------------------------------
OOC: There is normal movement along the trail. The rangers knows that movement in the jungle will be at half speed with no running, tumbling, etc. Vision is at best 30 feet into the woods, with some chance of vision out to 40 or 50 feet. There is a 10% concealment chance within 30 feet (melee & bow, etc.), 40% at 40 feet (missile, etc.) and 70% at 50 feet (missile, etc.).
Ashira (AC29, HP112/112) Woodland Stride, Barkskin +2 d20+12=27 d20+5=25 d20+5=25 d20+5=20 Friday July 21st, 2006 12:19:51 AM
Ashira laughs at the pathetic attack. "You're gonna have to try better than that, rat eaters!" Easily brushing away the entangling plant life (Refl=27), Ashira casts her own spell at the Yuan Ti at the rear of the trail. Sharp spikes sprout up underneath their tender feet and all around them 100 feet. (1d4 pts. damage per 5 foot of movement...also, Reflex DC 14 or speed is ½). Ashira chuckles knowing that the boots on the Wildcard's feet will protect them from damage from the spikes...but the snakemen won't have as good a time of it. "Alright...Cosmo, you're up. The group at the front will be more susceptible to your friends...seeing as I've just set up a bunch of spikes on the rear." She calls out to the warriors. "As we wallow through this entangle, remember to give Cosmo some time to get his spells off. Val, I want your group to focus on the guys shooting at you. We'll work on these other guys." That being said, Ashira wades 15 feet closer to the Yuan Ti at the rear.
DM Jim - Please roll 3 spell resistance checks DC 14.

Rigging/ George Friday July 21st, 2006 8:34:32 AM
Jim I am slightly confused on your description of the battle on where things are. You have stated that we are all 5' apart from each other. In relation to a gridded map, are we all lined up in grids next to each other and have a block seperating each character.
I also need to know how far I am from the edge of the entangle to make a decision on which direction to go. Can you provide a map please?

Val grins as the arrom creates a line of blood on her obsidian skin. She rushes the snake men, flail poised ready to strike. Perhaps it was luck or maybe fate but her body moves through the entanglement without trouble (reflex save 17. Her feet slide in the dirt as she stops to bring the flail down onto a yuan-ti
ooc: Val has base move of 40'. Power attack -10/ +20. Hit ac 24 for 31
DM Jim: You made your save for the entangle so you move half speed or 20 feet.
Melonie (AC 18, HP 26/ 26) d20+1=9 Friday July 21st, 2006 10:41:36 AM
Melonie raised her buckler when the arrows were fired. When she lowered the Buckler Val was already upon the snake men. With pure determination, Melonie moved through the vines and roots that tried to hold her down.
ooc: reflex save 9. Using movement to reach the snake men.

John easily pulls away from the entangling weeds (Ref.=14). He sighs when he hears Appolo's order. "I wish you guys would make up your minds." Tucking his hand axes in his belt, John pulls out his bow and aims at one of the Yuan Ti in the back (AC 12). Grumbling, John checks to see if the ruckus has attracted any other Yuan Ti (Spot=16).
The redheaded warrior has no problem freeing herself from the attacking jungle (Ref.=21). Short spear in place, Mary takes up a position by Ashira, wading 15 feet through the jungle toward the rear Yuan Ti.
Spells in place: Barkskin +2 (John & Mary):30/30 min.

He takes am at one Yuan-Ti at the rear and fires off two shots.

Rigging is able to see the vines coming and dodges away from them. He focuses his spell on the group in the back and blasts two of them with a scorching rays. (spell resistance checks 21 and 14)
Beams of fire lance into two of them and burn them badly. OCC One takes a critical hit and takes 21 points of damage, the second takes 14 points of damage. No saving throw.
Seeing the good effects of his rays, Rigging says to Cosmo, "Help the front out. Summon some monsters in that direction."
To the others, "Keep an eye out for the rest. These are the small ones, they still have some big nasties out there." (Rigging doesn't follow his own advice, spot check natural 1)
Rigging then starts moving out of the entangle heading for the direction where it looks like the spell ends. If that direction is towards the 3, he will move towards them. (ooc how much more spell does Rigging have for the entangle? assume since he was towards the back, he has less to travel?)
Swirl swoops over and slams the less injured one hitting for ac 20 for 10 points of damage executing a flyby attack. He swerves into the jungle looking for more surprises. spot 12

Entangle spell? What entangle spell Cosmo thinks to himself as the plant life seems to have a very hard time grabbing at him (reflex 31; natural 20).
Cosmo casts Alter Self, turning himself into a Troglodyte. Ahh much better he thinks as is skin toughens up. This will help him resist any more arrow attacks that come his way (movement increased to 30; natural armor increase 6).
Concentration checks 22, 22 & 16
Cosmo then moves off the trail and finds cover.

Ashira has no trouble with the entangle and casts her own spell to slow down the Yuan Ti in the back. One of the Pure bloods is already hopping on one foot, the other two seem unaffected.
-----------------
Ooc: I had Ashira move closer to the front, as she is much closer there. If you really want her to move to the back, have her 15 movement that direction and change it in you next post.
-----------------------
Mary moves to the back of the line to help where she can.
Val rips through the entangle and can not get to melee range just yet, but is real close.
Melonie is held fast by the entangle and does not advance and just grits her teeth and struggles against the vines and plants.
Appolo takes off, ready for vengeance, but can not get out of the vines and at his prey.
John hears Appolo's call and changes weapons while dodging vines and branches. It does affect his aim as he misses wide right.
Mykael attempts to move and ready his bow, but the entangling vines and bushes are too much for the new elf.
--------------
Ooc: Mykael needs a DC 20 str or escape artist check to move and act.
--------------
Mykael can feel Ghem's concern "Get into cover, you are not moving." When Mykael asks about more snake men Ghem answers "There are some on the sides of the trail too."
Rigging lets loose with two scorching rays. Rigging then pushes through the entangle spell to get to his foes.
Miss chance 13% and 56% (Please roll next time)
Rigging drops snake man PB5 with a sizzle of burned flesh.
Swirl smashes PB4 hard as the Yuan Ti is very surprised by the attack out of nowhere and promptly dies.
The vines seem to almost ignore Cosmo as he turns into a smelly trog, after his shipmates call for his critters.
---------------
Ooc: Does Alter self give AC bonus?
---------------- Nezamil is using his spells to great effect as the entangle has not effect on him. Nezamil practically flattens Bart and Mary as he tries to get to the Yuan Ti.
Hal is almost engulfed in a bush and his brother does not see a way to free his big brother.
The three snake men in the front try to bring Val down with arrow to little avail. Tow sail wide and one opens a minor wound.
AC 19 for 8 damage (70%)
The last Yuan Ti in the rear fires at Rigging and misses high.

The 10'2" dwarf charges up the trail after Val... clicking the heels of his boots together as he goes(activating boots of speed,free action)
He keeps his focus on whats ahead on the trail (d20+5=13 listen ch) his shield sliding into place and his mace springing forth as his large frame bears down on the snakemen
Eyeing the trio ahead he makes for the rear snakman(pb3) as he knows Val will slash the nearest ones with zeal
Reaching the snakemen Nezamil lashes out with an overhead smash (15' reach)(d20+16=21 1st swing) and feels with satisfaction at its impact (2d6(2+2)+7=11 dam)(move action and one swing)
Nezamil glowing boots add its magical touch to his attack (haste) and the backswing connects with a crunch(d20+9=25 hasted attack) and again feels the mace impact the snakeman(2d6(6+6)+7=19 dam)(total 30 dam)

Rigging hears the warnings and yells, "Get into fighting teams and out of the grasps of these vines! Work together to take down one and then kill the next. No individual fighting! Appolo, Mykeal and Mary with me! We will secure the back.
Cosmo, I think you can start summoning now.
Rigging moves foward to y15, moving out of the entangles and casts a magic missile spell at PB6 doing 14 points of damage to the creature.
Swirl executes another flyby attack and hits AC 21 for 9 points of damage. He also hit PB6 ganging up on the creature. He will end up at W18
Rigging listens but doesn't hear anything listen check 18. Swirl also cocks an ear but doesn't hear anything.

Ashira nods at the wisdom of Rigging's order. The battle had changed, and so a change in tactics was necessary. "Obey the Captain!" she calls out as she moves toward the Yuan Ti in the front. Stepping quickly out of the entangled area (Ref=22), she moves quickly and easily through the jungle (woodland stride) and into position to flank with Val next round (T2).
OOC: Thanks, Jim...now that we've got the map, I like where you put Ashira.

John pulls feel of the vines trying to wrap around him once more (Ref.=18). "Hmmph...I should probably get out of here before I become a part of the scenery." He grumbles to himself as he moves out of the entangling jungle (P14). Bow in hand, he sights in on one of the snakemen in the rear (Pb7, AC22 for 1 stupid pt).
Mary looks hesitantly over at Ashira as she hears her command. It wasn't that she doesn't like the Captain...but what if Ashira needs her? Biting her lip, Mary wrenches herself free of the weeds wrapping around her feet (Ref.=21) and moves up next to Appolo (V16).

Val is no longer bored and she closes the distance with the Yuan Ti. Val connects solidly with her flail sending PB1's head at an unnaturally odd angle. The pure blood crumples. (made 10% miss chance)
Melonie watches Val, but does not move.
Nezamil quickly follow Val and reaches over her, bringing his mace down on the head of PB2. The pure blood is now much shorter after Nezamil's blow and will never grow again. (made 10% miss chance)
Ashira reaches the front of the line and supports Val and Nezamil.
Hal, Melonie and Mykael are still stuck fast. Kirk attempts to help his brother but to no avail.
John is fighting his way out of the Entangle, but has a ways to go. In the mean time he takes a long shot at Pb7 (70% miss chance, but rolled an 84%). John threads the needle through the jungle and nicks the pure blood.
Bart snaps back to life and realizes there is no way he can use his spring attack skills in the jungle and he forces his way though the entangle spell.
Rigging frees himself from the entangle and launches four magic missiles at pb 6 rocking him. Swirl again plays clean up and smashes the pure blood to the ground. Appolo also gets out of the entangle spell and takes a flanking position on Rigging.
Appolo's trained ears hear movement directly behind him and Rigging and somewhere beyond Mary.
Cosmo starts his monster summon III spell and target by Ashira (T5).

Rigging grimaces when he sees the darkness come around him but not feeling any further effects decides to shake it off for now. He spots a group of Yuan-ti and decides to try and take them down quickly. He launches a fireball at the creaures threading it between the trees and branches (hit ac 22 with a ranged touch attack, made miss chance of 65 though I don't think one is necessary and rolled a 23, 25, 16, and 25 for spell resistance.)
The fire ball goes off centered P20 with a huge flash. Everyone caught in it takes 39 points of damage or 19 if the save reflex save dc 17.
Rigging chuckles and says to Appolo, bet they don't like their cover now.
Swirl darts forward and does a flyby slam attack on pureblood hitting with a glancing blow and then zips away to AB 21 but gains some altitude and climbs to 15' in the air.
Hit ac 25 for 3 points of damage. Made miss chance.

His luck finally running out, John is snagged by the entangling weeds (Ref.=9) Grunting, he tries to yank his feet free of the vines that are wrapping around his ankles, but he just can't manage (Str.=9). "Grrr...should have got out while I had the chance!" John grumbles as he wriggles and begins to feel like a pincushion.
Hearing Appolo's advice, Mary nods. Moving as quickly as possible considering the circumstances, Mary takes up her spot next to Rigging (X16). As Rigging aims and launches his fireball with precision, Mary smiles. "I can see why Ashira likes you!"

Ooc: I allowed Cosmo to summon the wasp's last round. The Bee's are on the map even though they will not appear until the start of the next round.
-----------------------------------
Val is bored again. These Yuan Ti are just not putting up much of a fight. Val and Ashira easily cut the pure blood between them into six bloody chunks. The bushes and vines did not slow down any of the women warriors assault.
Nezamil suggest an enlargement for Ashira, but she thinks twice about it.
Bart gets out of the entangle and runs up the path only to find himself staring at Nezamil's broad back and no one to stab.
Hal with Kirk's help extracts himself from the entangling vines and the brothers move to assist Melonie who is still held fast.
Ooc: Hal has still not made his saving throw and is still in the entangle. Hall must make a new save DC 12 reflex save or he is held fast once again.
A belligerent Palm Tree holds John tight.
Rigging lets loose a fireball at a group a shadowy figures he can barely make out through the deeper darkness. The Captain's risk pays off and the fireball only engulfs foes and not friends. The jungle is scorched and so are several Yuan Ti. Rigging cannot tell the effect of the fireball from the deeper darkness, but John can. The two pure bloods are charcoal. One half blood deftly avoids most of the flame behind a palm tree, but his buddy take the full force and fall among the withered leaves.
Appolo moves forward and attacks a pure blood and wounds it badly. Swirl comes in and plays clean up, by smashing the Yuan Ti into a tree. (Made all miss chances)
Cosmo sends his wasps to attack the Pure blood, but only one hits (made miss chance).
---------------------------------
Hb1 move forward and although singed fires at John point blank.
AC 18, for 6 damage
The half blood takes the air with his tongue and hisses "Ready to be lunch meatssack."
The pure blood engaged by the wasps is hard pressed. He drops his bow and pulls his scimitar and lashes out.
AC 20, hit for 4 damage
Several new pure and half bloods appear and two take a bead on the trapped Mykael.
AC 20, 12, 15. All three arrows miss.
The next pair takes aim at Rigging in the deeper darkness spell.
The half blood missed, but the pure bloods aim is true (made concealment for jungle 80%/10% and darkness 23%/20%)
AC 24, for 6 damage off of the protection spell.
----------------------------------
Tomas rallies the crew at the sounds of battle, especially now that there seems to be a fire. Tomas knows the Wildcards use fire as an effective weapon.
Conner is attempting to take odds on which wizard fired off the fire spell, Rigging, Cosmo or Mykael.

All Mykael's struggling does is allow the vines to wrap around him tighter and get more holds on him. (Str check = 4, nat 1)
Mykael contemplates to himself, I have to quit teaching these fools how to play dirty. Good thing these vines are not strong enough to crush me. So much for the great elven grace over brute strength.
Ghem, you need to stay in the trees near me. The way Rigging is tossing fireballs around, you may get cooked. Stay up high in the trees and near me. Can you tell how many more are out there?

Rigging hears Appolo's suggestion and grimaces, "He can't. He doesn't speak common and Tomas doesn't speak elemental."
Rigging decides its time to get out of the dark and moves AA18 and then activates his ring of blinking. (OOC, Jim I won't do this if something is there but again I don't have a map.)
He communicates with Swirl, "See if you can help Mykael!"
Swirl will fly over to Mykeal and form into a Whirlwind trying to rip him away from the vegetation. If it works, he will pick him up and put him at V16.

Realizing he's fighting a losing battle against the palm, John calls out to the Bash brothers. "Hey guys...can you give me a hand over here?" Fishing into his backpack, John removes a small wand and prods at the most recent arrow wound...which, along with most of his wounds, quickly disappear (Cure Moderate Wounds for 14).

As the brothers look at each as they hear John's cries ....they both change course and lunge into the nearby woods after Johns voice their weapons hacking at the jungle brush to reach the Ranger
Ashira (AC29, HP112/112) Woodland Stride, Barkskin +2 d20+16=25 d8+5=12 Wednesday July 26th, 2006 12:59:13 AM
Ashira smiles as the snakeman goes down easily. She looks over at Val. "Ok, ready for our next victim?" Turning, she moves toward the Yuan Ti headed her way (PB8). In answer to Nezamil's question she calls out "Let's mop up over here and then reform." Grinning, she takes a swing at the Yuan Ti in front of her (PB8, AC25 for 12).

The diminutive mage keeps directing the giant wasps to continue attacking and with good results (3 hits) as they take turns diving bombing the wretched snakeman (total dam =22 pts)the wasps venom seeps deep into it.
Cosmo points his finger up the trail and whispers [i] "whats going on up there ?? any body need help?" (message spell)
With the giant bee's buzzing overhead and Riggings devastating fireball wrecking havoc he sends the giant bee's up the trail searching for snakemen to attack(being above the trail they should have better visiblity then those on the ground )(giant bee speed 20 , fly 80 )and to possibly assist those in need if needed

Appolo asks Rigging to send Swirl back to the Sword and report to Tomas. Rigging explains the problems of language involved.
Appolo starts moving toward the sounds of battle, but at 15 feet per combat round it will take his awhile to get there. Appolo reenters the deeper darkness.
Mykael still struggles in vain as the vines and leaves wrap themselves tighter. Mykael does give instructions to Ghem to stay well clear of the very dangerous Captain. Ghem hovers above Mykael, as he does not want to get entangled himself.
Rigging leaves the deeper darkness and bumps into Appolo going the other way. Rigging then activates his blink ring and is very surprised by what he sees.
When Rigging blinks to the ethereal plan he sees three pathways that lead to what appear to be three stone pyramids. The three square pyramids are not an equal distance from Rigging and are roughly at three points of a triangle that Rigging is standing outside of. Rigging is very sure he will not be able to move off the pathways and this may limit his ability to directionally blink.
Swirl moves over to Mykael and attempts to suck him up. Swirl has to go full power as the jungle has a good hold of Mykael. Ghem heads for cover, lest he is sucked up also.
Pieces of leaves and vines are being sucked up and through Swirl and tossed about.
Ooc: Mykael get a new entangle save DC 15. If successful, Mykael take an equivalent of a slam attack from Swirl, if not no damage.
Mykael feels Swirl's powerful pull, if and when the jungle lets go, he will be moving much faster than elves were ever meant to.
Mary also bumps into Appolo as she takes up her flanking position of her Captain.
Nezamil works his way around Bart and easily heads back down the trail and find himself next to Melonie. The elven girls looks up and pleads "Help."
Ashira spies the pure blood that took a shot at her group previously and heads for it, stabbing it once. The three wasps around it also attack. One attack that should have succeeded (failed concealment 7%) did not as the wasp got tangled in some vines. The pure blood still falls from the three hits.
Ooc: Please roll your jungle and deeper darkness concealment checks as required.
Cosmo send his three bees to attack the pure blood (PB12) that was shooting at Rigging. One stinger finds its way past the armor.
Ooc: Chris please roll damage for the one attack and concealment for the next attacks.
Hal with Kirk's rush to the best the jungle and the entangle will let them to assist John.
Ooc: Hal and Kirk can roll aid another to give John a +2 each (if successful) on his str. Roll.
Bart wants to move forward, but does not know where to go (did not specify). Bart moves into the jungle looking for Yuan Ti.
Ooc: Spring attack is not possible in the Jungle, as mentioned previously.
Val looks at the Yuan Ti at her feet, unmoving and very dead.
-----------------------
One half breed (HB3) leaves the pure blood (PB12) that is being attacked by the bees and fires twice at Cosmo, but Cosmo's new Trog hide protects him.
PB 12 drops his bow and pulls steel and slashes at a bee, but misses badly (AC 7).
PB11 and HB 4 are frustrated by their inability to hit Mykael as they each missed badly for a second round.
HB1 sees Hal and Kirk coming to help his trapped meal, John, and he fires at Hal twice.
AC 12, miss AC 22, hit concealment 25% for 3 damage
More Yuan Ti shows up to the battle and attack.
Two pure bloods spy Val, Pb13 and 14,and fire their bows at her, but both miss (AC 15, 15)
A snake headed (Hb5) half bred with a snakes tail in addition to legs, fires twice at Nezamil one bounces off his armor (AC 7), but one penetrates (AC 20 concealment 86%) for 7 damage.
An large snake with powerful human arms, Abomination 1, shows itself and looks at Nezamil as it chants and then adds in common, "Become one of us!" The Abomination carries a longbow and scimitar just like is brethern.
Baleful polymorph DC 19 will save or turn into a snake.
----------------------
OOC: There is normal movement along the trail. The rangers knows that movement in the jungle will be at half speed with no running, tumbling, spring attack, etc. Vision is at best 30 feet into the woods, with some chance of vision out to 40 or 50 feet. There is a 10% concealment chance within 30 feet (melee & bow, etc.), 40% at 40 feet (missile, etc.) and 70% at 50 feet (missile, etc.).
Deeper darkness is an additional concealment chance of 20%(firing into or out of or through). It does not stack with the jungle concealment and must be rolled separately.
Please post your positions and remember that movement is halved in the jungle.

The brothers crash thru the brush reaching the ranger " we got you...lets get you loose " growls Hal as the brothers grab his arms and tug for all their worth (d20+6=24 Hal,d20+6=9 Kirk,str ch)
Hal feels a stinging in his side as an arrow finds its mark "grrr" looking up at the shooter " be with you in a second " grunts Hal sarcasticly
If the Bash brothers free Ranger John the drag him backwards towards the trail (5'ft move) and step in front of him
Hal's Mace appears in his hand and sheild slides into place on his arm while Kirk steps next to him and unleashes his heavy flail
With a knowing nod to each other they each step away from each other and start to circle the half-blood(hb1)in opposite directions(looking to attack from two sides , flanking)
"Don't be afraid to show him how to use a bow " chuckles Kirk to the ranger

The diminutive mage hears the dwarfs reply via his message spell " help is on its way " as he directs three wasps to Nezamils location (fly 60')"get the abomination" orders Cosmo to the giant wasps .....the wasps leave the dead snakemen(pb8)and move with all speed to Nezamil's location as directed
Remembering the marching order " nezamil has spotted an abomination by him near the crook in the trail...they are very dangerous ....can someone help him or outflank the abomination?" messges Cosmo to all those that went up the trail ahead of him
Cosmo then directs the giant bee's to continue their attack(d20+2=15,d20+2=18,3rd missed)(1d4=1,1d4=4 total 5 dam) as they buzz about harrasing pb12(all 3 made conceal chances)

Cosmo hears voices and struggling nearby " is that you Mykael??" The mage in troglodyte form searches out Mykael...spotting him entangled with Swirl hovering overhead he thinks[i]" i ain't strong enough to free him but if we all work together we should be able to "
With that thought in mind he reaches in his mind for one of his first spells he ever learned and fires an orb of acid on the entangling mass of vines and scrubs on Mykael(d20+9=15 ranged touch attack) and watches it splash the entangling mass (1d3=2 dam)

OOC: This is my last post before my DM vacation. Nellie will be taking over. Be kind to her.
----------------------------------------
Val is anxious to pummel more Yuan Ti, but the jungle slows her down and she is just short of her goal (O3).
Mykael still struggles in vain as the vines and leaves wrap themselves tighter. Swirl moves over to Mykael and attempts to suck him up again. Swirl has to go full power as the jungle has a good hold of Mykael. Cosmo helps by throwing acid on some of the vines and plants, just missing Mykael.
--------
Ooc: Mykael get a new entangle save DC 14, reflex. If successful, Mykael take an equivalent of a slam attack from Swirl, if not no damage.
---------
The oversized Nezamil barely shakes off the vile magic from the Abomination and only with Domi's blessing. The huge dwarf then scoops Melonie out of the entangling vines and plants and is holding her.
Mary looks up in surprise. Some of the vines are still holding her, but Nezamil has a stronger grip.
Hal and Kirk has ripped into the vines and bushes around his legs enough to give John another shot at getting away from the palm the has him.
------------------
Ooc: DC 15 str. Save this round only.
------------------
John fights hard and finally frees himself and is moved closer to the trail by the two friendly brutes.
Cosmo's continue to attack and sting at P12 (6 damage to date). Cosmo then directs his wasps to head toward Nezamil.
Ashira, realizing that the pure blood in front of her is dead, moves to attack the snake headed half blood that is shooting at Mykael. Ashira lands a nasty blow on the snakehead and he drops his bow and draws his scimitar. The large snake mouth opens and hisses and looks ready to bite.
Ooc: I caused you some confusion Nellie. I said the pure blood was dead in the post, but did not X out the guy on the map. As a result, I had you move and attack.
Rigging casts fly on himself and takes to the air, rising 30 feet. Rigging is still blinking and constantly sees the three square stone pyramids on the ethereal plane and the pathways to each. Rigging is slowly blinking toward the pyramid at the castaway village.
Rigging, while on this plane of existence, has a much better view of the battlefield.
Bart leaps forward and in one mighty swing kills the pure blood that was sniping at Mykael.
Ooc: Bart I will give you spring attack, but remember that your movement is only 15 feet and you must move before and after your attack. You can only effectively spring 10 feet, as you need 5 feet movement after the attack.
------------------------------------------
Another group of Yuan Ti appear, two pure bloods a half blood and another giant snake with huge human arms.
The abomination, spies Rigging rising, and nods knowingly and hisses something to his comrades and they nod as well. The abomination points and chants at Rigging and he feels a reptilian grip in every fiber of his being.
DC 19 will save or turn into a snake -- baleful polymorph
The abomination hisses "Brings my powers back downs to earth, grub."
The two new pure bloods do not notice Appolo and instead fire their long bows at Mary, but both shots are wide of the curvaceous red head.
The snake headed half blood does notice Appolo (spot 29) and takes two shots at the rouge. The half bred obviously did not have a good read on Appolo's location as both shoots were very poor (AC 12 & 6).
The half blood (Hb10) by John, Hal and Kirk watches is disgust as John is freed and he fires twice at Hal. Hb1 steps back 5 feet.
Both arrow miss the large warrior, but the second was close, as Hal needed all of his shield skills to deflect that arrow.
The front group of Yuan Ti sees Val closing on them and they open up and fire arrows at the barbarian. The two pure blood and half blood send arrows into the palm trees around Val. The Abomination has better luck and one arrow find the mark
Ac 30 critical, but not confirmed, for 10 damage
One half blood (Hb4) finds himself in trouble and facing Ashira and Bart. The half-breed's newly bared steel lashes out at Ashira as he repositions himself to make it harder for Bart to get at him.
Ac 30, critical, but not confirmed, 6 damage Ac 7, miss

Rigging feels the magic start to take him and struggles against it. With a mighty burst of will he says, "No! I won't be a snake." OOC failed save but rerolled with a hero point.
Rigging then with his own magic decides to punish the abomination. He strikes out with his own scorching rays aiming both at the ugly monster. He hits with both, one being a critical hit badly burning the evil creature.

Mykael -- HP 50/56, AC 27 (23 without dex, cause entangled) d20+3=14 Friday July 28th, 2006 10:31:16 PM
Mykael finally gets his arms positioned properly to exert enough force to snap a few vines, as he does, Swirls full power tornado rips him from the ground and the entangled area and throws him up and over to V16 where Mykael hits the ground hard.
(george, damage for slam attack from swirl?)
As Mykael climbs to his feet, he smiles and waves a friendly thanks to swirl. And watches as he darts off to help Rigging.
Noting the direction that Swirl headed, Mykael takes a 5ft step to V17.
Ashira (AC29, HP112/112) Woodland Stride, Barkskin +2 d20+14=34 d20+14=21 2d8(8+2)+10=20 d20+9=29 d20+9=27 2d8(7+1)+10=18 d20+4=8 d20+14=29 d6+3=7 d20+6=20 d6+3=4 d20-4=-2 Saturday July 29th, 2006 3:57:30 PM
Smiling, Ashira looks up at the ugly mutated snake in front of her (HB4). "Geez...close your mouth!! You've got horrid breath!! No...better yet, let me close it for you...for good!" Following up on her bravado, Ashira cuts into the creature, scoring several hits, including two critical strikes. (AC34/21 for 20, AC29/27 for 18, AC29 for 7, AC20 for 4 )
John (AC18, HP33/35) and Mary (AC21, HP15/20) both with Barkskin +2 d20+6=23 d8=6 d20+6=15 Saturday July 29th, 2006 5:26:30 PM
John smiles as the Bash brothers free him from the palm tree. "Thanks guys!!" Seeing as the entangled area has limited his choice of movement, John moves to the only place he can...directly in front of the Yuan Ti in front of him (HB1). Pulling his bow taut, John fires directly into the face of his former tormentor, ready for some revenge. (AC23 for 6) "Now that's how you snipe!!" John taunts the creature.
Mary grows tired of trying to catch up with Rigging and decides to help out Appolo instead (AA21). She thrusts her sword toward the creature, trying to distract it in order to help out Appolo (Aid Another)...Appolo gets +2 on next attack.

The Wildcards continue to carve into the Yuan Ti surrounding, showing the walking reptiles who really is King of the Jungle! Casualties among the Wildcards are almost non-existent, and even their followers seem to be fairing well... The Yuan Ti, however, seem to be fighting a loosing battle as more and more of their comrade's bodies are littering the jungle.
Captain Rigging easily shrugs off the Abomination's (A2) spell. Proving he is no slacker in the combat department, Rigging turns the tables on the Yuan Ti and fires off his rays. His flesh sizzling, the snakeman looks about to bolt... He turns, only to be lifted off the ground and slammed into a nearby palm. Shortly after, Cosmo fires off his magic missles into the creature. The trio's magical prowess proves to much for the beast, and it slumps to the ground, smoldering and very much dead.
Nearby, Appolo makes for one of the new players (Hb6) and cuts into him like a hot knife through butter. Both attacks connect, and though blood flows freely from the creature's side, Appolo gets the feeling that there's plenty of fight left in him. Hissing, it tries to cut through that pesky armor to get to the creamy filling, but it's attacks bounce of harmlessly.
In the entangled area, Hal and Kirk finally manage to free the struggling John from his horticultural nightmare....then they're off for more fun. The two of them gang up on the pesky archer (HB1), and, as their nicknames suggest, they promptly begin to pulverize the overgrown reptile. Still, the duo's power is not quite enough to bring the thing to its knees...or whatever it would kneel on.
The cold eyes of the snake slit as the arrow lodges in its nose. Dropping its bow, it concentrates on those lunch pails with the swords (Hal and Kirk). It's first attack cuts deep into Hal, drawing blood (AC26 for 8). The second slice misses the warrior altogether. The snake's luck seems to be failing as it attempts to drive its fangs into Hal's neck, but only manages to bounce off the warrior's armor.
Likewise, thanks to Swirl's forceful assistance, Mykael now finds himself free of the wacky weeds...though he'll probably be nursing a headache for a while (Chris, could you please let Mykael know the damage from the slam?). Rising to his feet, the fearless warrior moves closer to the action.
On the other side of the battlefield, Ashira takes her frustrations out on the monster in front of her. Easily backing up her threats, Ashira cuts the creature down with the first two strikes, and then proceeds to make Yuan Ti steaks. Bart moves in to help out the Mistress of the Sword, but seeing that she's already taken care of business, he moves over to lend a hand to Val (R5). (OOC: Bart, you may change it in your next post if this is not where you want Bart... However, this is your one freeby. Any further missed posts, and I will have you staring off into space.)
After pulling Melonie safely out of the entangling brush, Nezamil hones in on the Abomination that has joined the fray and blasts into him with his new toy. It takes a little getting used to, especially with all the cover around, but still, the bolt sticking out of the thing's chest was a good sign. Shortly after his finishes up his attack, Cosmo's wasps join the fray and begin stinging at the abomination. The giant snake hisses in frustration.
Melonie is now free from the entangle, and looks to be suffering battle fatigue as she merely watches the battle waging around her.
(DM note of caution...remember that the plants in the entangled area will continue to try and entangle you each round. If you stay in the area of the entangle, you risk getting stuck again.)
Easily finishing up her last target, Val spins to find that more creatures have joined the party. Moving over, she takes as swipe at the closest one, doubting that it will put up much of a fight. (AC42 for 16) There is a loud crunch as Val dislocates the Yuan Ti's jaw, but she doesn't manage to kill the thing....yet. ( DM note: This is your one freeby. Any further missed posts, and I will have you staring off into space.) The Yuan Ti nearby respond by dropping their bows and focusing on the immense threat at hand. While the purebloods (PB13&14) keep Val busy, the halfblood (HB 5) moves into flanking position. One pureblood manages to draw a little of Val's blood (AC 24 for 2), but all of the other attacks from the snake pair are useless. Likewise, the halfblood also manages to scratch the elven warrior (AC 30 for 4) but his second strike can't penetrate that stupid metal wrapper of hers (armor).
The sole surviving abomination on the field (A1) tries a little different tactic. With a flick of his hand, he sends magic out toward Nezamil, Melonie and Val. Then he moves away from the elven blender (Val)
Spotting the arrival of so many killers, the halfblood in the jungle (HB3) beads in on Rigging. However, the jungle foliage proves to much for even his skill, and the arrows imbed themselves in a nearby bush. The pureblood (PB12) nearby likewise is not a happy camper...covered in welts and not a single sheep down! He shoots at the bees buzzing around him (AC19 for 1, AC22 for 8). The other two purebloods at the end of the trail are torn...what to do...aim at that ugly looking thing in the darkness (Cosmo), or that flying thing (Rigging). In the end, they decide on Rigging...arrows whiz around, but only one finds its mark (AC23 for 7, 82 on concealment)
Damage summary and spell summary: Rigging: Arrow from PB15, for 7 damage off spell Val: 5 pts. damage from HB4, 2 pts. damage from PB13, Will DC17...email me if you fail. Nezamil: Will DC17...email me if you fail. Melonie: Will DC17...email me if you fail. Hal: 8 pts. damage from HB1 Bees: Arrows from PB12, for 9 damage
OOC: Since this is my first DM post, there is the high likely hood that there might be an error or two in there. If you spot any, please just fire of an email and I'll work to correct it. Thanks for your patience.----Nellie

Seeing that Val, Bart and Nezamil seem to have their end of the battle wrapped up tight, Ashira decides to head over to the other end of the trail.

As the battle wages on, the crew of the Sword find the Yuan Ti's resistance almost comical. As the enemy body count begins to mount, you find yourself begining to wonder...why in the world were we hesitant to strike out before? Still, discretion is the better part of valor, and so the one sided slaughter continues.
Nezamil's 1st shot slams home in the Abomination (AB1) but the other bounces off a nearby vine. To add insult to injury, those pesky wasps continue to sting away. Looking like he's had enough for one day, the Yuan Ti makes a break for it. Shrinking he takes the form of a tiny viper and scoots off into the undergrowth (AoO from each of the Wasps). Spot DC38 to find his location.
Val easily shrugs off the spell that tries to entangle her and quickly dispatches the Yuan Ti in front of her (PB14). It's glassy eyes seem to fail to register what has happened as it's head is chopped clean from its body. Nearby, her ward (Melonie) pulls out of the entangled area and starts looking for action.
Bart finds it a little difficult to find his way to the enemy. He makes it to the path and knows that he'll be able to see some action next round (only needs a 5 foot step).
Ashira also carves into the walking snake in front of her, wounding it, but not taking it down permanently.
With Mary's help, Appolo finds it an easy task to gut the reptile in front of him (HB6). But his delicate strikes leave the skin in pristine condition...assuring that the prophesy of snakeskin belts and boots can easily become a reality. (DM note: Aid Another grants +2 to the first attack only. Should have mentioned that in my previous post.) Mary smiles back at Appolo. "Ok...were to next?" She looks over at the Yuan Ti closing in on Rigging, but checks with Appolo before heading that way.
As his summoned creatures do a good job of distracting the enemy, Cosmo the troglodyte scans the battlefield. So far he catches sight of nothing too interesting other than the normal going's on of death and destruction.
Rigging finds that aerial combat can be trickier than it looks, and although he wounds his combatant (PB15), it still looks to have a good deal of fight left. Swirl, on the other hand, takes the other Yuan Ti (PB16) and wraps him around a palm tree. The pink froth oozing out of its nose a pretty good indicator that he's probably had his last pass at the human buffet bar. He manages to get to his feet, but it's clear he won't last long now.
Working in tandem, Hal and Kirk easily finish off their opponent (HB1), leaving John to search elsewhere for target practice. Not finding any, John looks over at Hal and Kirk. "You guys need any healing?" he asks with a twinkle in his eye.
Meanwhile, Mykael makes his way across the battlefield as quickly as possible considering the conditions. (Only able to make it to X18)
The few living Yuan Ti attack with little conviction, as if acting out of duty.
Having just seen their companion decapitated in a heartbeart, the duo facing Val strike out, but don't seem to be having much luck. One of the strikes of the pureblood (PB13) manages to nick Val's arm (AC20 for 1) but the barbarian doesn't even seem to notice. Taking a 5 foot step backward, the halfblood hisses at Val and once more she feels the strange magic attempt to take hold of her (Will DC17...remember the +2 bonus for elven blood). Ashira's foe seems likewise backs off and hisses some magic (Will DC17...remember the +2 bonus for elven blood).
The pureblood facing off against Cosmo's bees (PB12) struggles mightly to rid himself of the flying pests. He kicks one (AC23 for 1) and then fumbles his sword, almost dropping it on the ground.
Hearing their brother's strange spells, the purebloods facing the deadly combination of Rigging and Swirl decide to back off. They two step back five feet and fire off spells. Swirl DC16 or become a snake, Rigging Will DC17...or surprise.)
OOC: Spot check DC30 to notice something very interesting.

Rigging sneers at the snake (pb16) as it steps away "ain't this fun " but he suddendly realizes why it stepped away as magic washes over him (d20+7=26 will ch)but shrugs it off "hah" as he steps forward in the air(5'ft move ) and slashes out at the snake (pb16)....his shorttsword just misses(d20+10=14)as it shuffles to the side but right into his dagger in his left hand (d20+10=28) the dagger sinks deep (d4+1=2 dam,2d6(4+5)=9 holy dagger bonus) (11 total dam) then kicks it the chest and off his dagger "yeah this is fun "
Swirl launches another attack at the snake thingy(d20+12=17,d20+12=31) as the air elemental slams his target into nearby trees (2d6(6+3)=11 dam,2d6(4+2)=8)(total dam=19) "got the other one boss" beams swirl to his master
Both Rigging and his familar scan their surrounds after their opponnets fall sensing something strange but not quite pinpointing it
Rigging then steps over to the slain abomination(A2) and confiscates its possesions " this stuff might get us some intel on these beasts" adds Rigging to Swirl

Bart sees the fight before him he makes an attack towards the snake that is fighting with Val, he makes an power attack and hopes that will kill the enemy (ac 27 for 22) otherwise his second or third attack will kill it (ac 19 for 23 and ac 11) (if the beast is dead after the first attack bart moves forward towards the abomination (a1)
Val (AC 19, HP 136/ 139, Endure Elements) d20+21=28 d20+16=27 d20+11=21 d10+10=17 d10+10=17 d10+10=14 Tuesday August 1st, 2006 9:08:05 AM
Val turns to the other yuan-ti (Pb13) and grins. Her flail snaps out, smashing into the snake man several times.
ooc: hit ac 28 for 17dmg, ac 27 for 17dmg, and ac21 for 14
Melonie (AC 18, HP 26/ 26) d20+6=25 d6+1=4 Tuesday August 1st, 2006 9:13:39 AM
Melonie advances to L5 effectively flanking Pb13. Unsure of how tough these snake creatures were, Melonie stabs the yuan-ti with her short spear just to make sure it would die.
ooc: hit ac 25 for 4
Ashira (AC29, HP106/112) Woodland Stride, Barkskin +2, Scared to death of snakes d20+10=14 Tuesday August 1st, 2006 9:52:36 AM
Ashira looks over at the halfblood with disdain. "You think you're stupid little spell's gonna...save...you." And then, as if for the first time, she sees how truly horrible these things are...with they cold, slimy, slithery skin...and those unblinking eyes...and those horrible sharp pointy fangs (Failed Will with a 14). A very unnatural fear of these creatures fills her very soul, and Ashira beats a hasty retreat far away from those terrifying vipers. (AB5)
Appolo Ac 23 HP 68 d20+9=23 Tuesday August 1st, 2006 12:43:21 PM
Appolo looks arouns seeing that Rigging and Swirl have things pretty well in hand.Appolo walks back up the trail alittle bit finds a old deead tree,looks it over and takes a seat"Come over here have seat rest fora momentIf this is all those snake heads got we'll kill every last one of them before the Sword is repaired,"He takes out his water skin"Here ahve some thing to drink."He says as he looks around.
Spot 23
Cosmo (AC 25; HP 53/57) d20+2=4 d20+2=8 d20+2=5 d20+6=10 d20+6=7 d20+6=11 Tuesday August 1st, 2006 12:49:17 PM
The Bees & Wasps attack the Yuan-Ti; all failing miserably (hit AC's 4, 8, 5, 10, 7 & 11).
The battle appears to be going in the Wildcards favor for the moment, so Cosmo holds off casting any more spells. In Troglodyte form, Cosmo moves towards Mykael.

The battle is winding down, and for the moment, there doesn't seem to be any reinforcements showing up.
Rigging and Swirl form a devastating tag team as they literally tear the two Yuan Ti (PB 15 & 16) apart.
Following Rigging's example, Hal and Kirk scoop up the dead Yuan Ti's equipment for later examination Then they attempt to link back up with Nezamil. OOC: Technically, de boys can only move 15 feet per round, but since this battle is almost over, I'll let it slide. John follows the brothers, liking his bulky escorts. As he moves, he reaches out and taps Hal with the wand in his hand (CMW 15 restored). The archer grins up at the ex bouncers. "You know guys, I think this could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship."
Reloading his crossbow, Nezamil calls out insults to the disappeared Abomination, but it is to no avail...there's no trace of the creature.
Bart squares up with a Yuan Ti (PB13) and finds it tougher than it looks. But, in the end, the walking boots just can't stand up to the walking Blade Barrier and it falls in a lifeless heap at Bart's feet.
Just as Ashira is about to strike down her opponent, she suddenly begins to backpeddle away from the combat, muttering something about "those horrible snakes."
Seeing that Bart just killed her intended target, Val is about to step forward to dispatch the halfblood (HB5) when she too is seized by a mortal fear of the snakey creatures. She quickly moves as far away from them as she can (P5).
Showing amazing courage, Melonie moves forward and makes absolutely sure that the pureblood at Bart's feet won't ever rise to his feet again.
Figuring that the battle is as much as won, Appolo decides to take a little break. Mary looks over at him hesitating. "I don't think that's a good idea. I think I'll go check on Ashira." Mary scoots further along the trail in the last general area she saw the blue-haired ranger.
Cosmo moves almost out of the darkness as he tries to link up with Mykael.
Meanwhile, the few remaining Yuan Ti continue to press the pointless battle.
Knowing the end is near, the Halfblood nearest Val (HB5) tries to extract a little vengeance. Following after the fleeing Val, he takes a swipe at her retreating back. As his scimitar cuts through her armor (AC 21 for 7) he whispers in her ear "Next time, I'm going to drink your blood ugly meatsack."
Getting caught up in the hunt, the other halfblood (HB3) likewise decides to have himself a bit of fun. Dropping his scimitar, he picks up his bow from the ground and takes aim at Ashira. "Where you going little fishy? I'm hungry and it's time for a snack" he hisses as he pulls back and lets his arrow fly. But all the bravado in the world can't compensate for skill, and his arrow zooms by the frightened ranger.
Hissing in anger, the last living pureblood (PB12) continues to try and rid itself of those pesky bees. He swats helplessly at the insects, unable to do more than a pittance of damage to his tormentors. (AC 16 for 1).
Mykael -- HP 41/56, AC 27 d20+7=27 d20+7=8 Wednesday August 2nd, 2006 2:19:53 AM
Seeing that Rigging doesnt need any help, Mykael turns to Cosmo, "Over here Cosmo, head for the sound of my voice".
'Ghem, what can you see, hear, or feel? Anymore out there? Another assault coming?'
(Checks for Ghem) (Spot = 27, nat 20) (Listen = 8, nat 1)(WOW! talk about bi-polar)
Bart ac 27 hp 86/86 endure elements d20+17=33 d20+12=27 d20+6=18 d10+9=16 d10+9=16 d10+9=18 d6=4 d6=2 d6=3 Wednesday August 2nd, 2006 8:03:43 AM
Come on Val these are only foul beast easy to kill! See!! Suddenly Bart remembers what he has forgotten he activates the shock ability from his sword. Bart attacks the Halfblood (hb 5) (ac 33,27 and 18 for 20, 18 and 21)
Appolo Ac23 Ho 68 Wednesday August 2nd, 2006 11:30:03 AM
Appolo get's up and follows Mary"Where are you going.Now just stay with me,let Ashira find us.She's the ranger.If you go tromping of into that jungle you'll end up getting lost.Our group is already seperated and divided enough.Now relax and wait."
He then looks over to Rigging"ERigging why don't you send swirl out and have him locate the others.We need to gather ourselves and not get divided into small groups."
Val (AC 19, HP 131/ 139, Endure Elements, Scared to Death of Snakes) Wednesday August 2nd, 2006 2:00:05 PM
Despite the line of burning pain across her back Val runs through the thick brush to get away from the snake. The fear, thick and overpowering causes her to flee blindly into the entaglement spell.
Melonie (AC 18, HP 26/ 26) Wednesday August 2nd, 2006 2:02:44 PM
"Val? Wal?" Melonie calls out as she realises the elven warrior had dissappeared into the brush. Curious and a little scared, Melonie heads back toward the trail (O5)
Bash brothers Hal Ac 21 Hp 62/62 and Kirk Ac 18 Hp 51 Wednesday August 2nd, 2006 7:33:48 PM
"That feels great " as he slaps Ranger John on the back " now if that wand would only keep keep ale cold it would be perfect "laughs Hal
" hey i hear the big fella lets scoot around the edge of the entangled area and hook up with him " adds Kirk as he keeps John between him and Hal
" yeah this could be a sweet setup for all of us " replies Hal to Ranger John " i'll even by the 1st round once we setup up an ale house"
Nezamil Ac 20 Hp 81/81 Endure elements,Magic vestment+2Ac,Freedom of movement,haste 5 rds Wednesday August 2nd, 2006 7:43:10 PM
lowering his crossbow as the snake headed creatures vanishes "we'll meet again " grumbles Nezamil
he glances over and observes Melonie heading towards the trail and the snakeman(hb5) " be careful and teamup with someone" he growls out to her
Then the 10'2" dwarf turns and heads towards the bash brothers voices (going to k-15 if possible)
Rigging ac 20 hps 70/77 blinking, mage armor, flying, protection from arrows d100=100 Wednesday August 2nd, 2006 7:56:57 PM
A savage grin appears on Rriggings face as he slashes the snakeman to bits " nice work Swirl " Rigging beams to his familar
Looking about (d100=100 conceal ch) he spots friendly troops " Appolo...Mary...Mykael....form up on me "as he and Swirl fly to Mary's location
"Wheres Cosmo ? ....anybody seen him ?" inquires Rigging of the trio " we need his comunication skills to contact everyone "grumbles the Captain " looks like we put a hurtin on them ....good job "

Appolo Ac 23 HP 68 Wednesday August 2nd, 2006 9:40:29 PM
Appolo smiles at Rigging"If this is all they got.We'll sweep this Island clean of them in a few months.Most G'aalian Acolyte's are tougher then these things."He says as walks over to Rigging.
Ashira (AC27, HP106/112) Woodland Stride, Barkskin +2, Scared of snakes d20+10=19 d20+16=20 d8+5=13 Wednesday August 2nd, 2006 11:10:54 PM
Shaking her head, Ashira manages to wrangle down the demons that haunt her...somewhat (Will=19). Though her hands shake almost uncontrollably, Ashira turns. See, they're not that scary..just slimy..and with big fangs that no doubt are just dripping with venom... Plucking up her courage, Ashira spins around. Knowing she can't make it to the halfblood, Ashira settles for the pureblood cornered by the bees. Swinging her sword in an arc, she hacks into it's back (AC20 for 13)
Cosmo (AC 25; HP 53/57) Thursday August 3rd, 2006 12:02:42 AM
Cosmo continues to move towards Mykael and other members of the group.

ADM Nellie: Combat round 10 d20+7=23 d20+10=26 d20+5=13 Thursday August 3rd, 2006 1:27:29 AM
With the battle mostly over, the Wildcards find themselves in various positions on the battlefield. Some continue to fight, while others regroup, and others run scared.
Mykael continues to try and guide Cosmo toward the sound of his voice...with very positive results...as Cosmo is able to make his way over this round. Meanwhile, Ghem scouts out the area. His very sharp eyes catch sight of a shimmer of movement...a shifting in the light perhaps, but with a definite Yuan Ti profile about 40 feet into the jungle ahead of the trail.
Meanwhile, Bart tries to snap Val out of her funk by showing her just how easy these things are to kill....whack, whack, whack...yep, just that easy. And as they say...another one bites the dust. But Bart's cheerful words fall on deaf ears. Val cannot control the urge to get away from those creepy slithering snakes and heads back to the safety of the entangled area (P9).
More than a little concerned for her mentor, Melonie hedges toward the entangled area, trying to figure out what's wrong.
The trio of Hal, Kirk and John slowly but surely scoot around the entangled area, trying to catch up with Nezamil. It's hard work, but the company makes it go by faster. ;) Magically empowered, Nezamil cuts a hasty path through then entangling weeds and all but links up with the others.
Throwing off some of the mind numbing fear, Ashira turns on the nearest Yuan Ti and takes a bite out of it. The creature hisses in pain and spins around to confront the new challenger. His eyes swollen almost shut, it is little wonder that the creature can't connect with the still formidable if frightened ranger.
Rigging barks out orders to regroup, while Appolo votes for a breather. Mary looks from one to the other and then settles on Rigging. She looks up as Rigging appears, clearly concerned. "Have you seen Ashira? I'm beginning to worry about her."
In the meantime, the last living halfbreed is still enjoying himself as he watches Ashira shake in her boots. "Here fishy, fishy." He taunts as he continues to snipe at her. Though it's all rather pointless as his arrows bounce harmlessly off her armor.
Val (AC 19, HP 131/ 139, Endure Elements, Scared to Death of Snakes) d20+8=28 Thursday August 3rd, 2006 10:35:03 AM
ooc: reflex save 28
Val looks around franticly. After checking each direction four times does her heart begin to beat softer. After another moment she's no longer gasping for air. Snakes, there were no snakes in the grasping vines. None of their slimy bodies, creepy eyes, and terrifying fangs. She was safe in the grasping vines.
Melonie (AC 18, HP 26/ 26) Thursday August 3rd, 2006 10:37:18 AM
Melonie moves her head from side to side as she tries to peer around the thick vegitation to catch some glimpse of Val.
"Bart something's wrong. Val ran off with a look on her face I've never seen before. We have to find her." She says, voice filled with worry.
Nezamil Ac 20 Hp 81/81 Endure elements,Magic vestment+2Ac,Freedom of movement Thursday August 3rd, 2006 6:15:53 PM
The 10'2" dwarf glides thru the entangling jungle and meets up with the Bash brothers and Ranger John " hey....good to see you all survived " grins Nezamil
With a wink at Ranger John " i see you kept the brothers alive " laughs the Cleric of Domi " good work "
"Now lets go find the others .....keep alert for dem sneaky snakes"
"Bart and Melonie are on the other side of this entangling mass ....lets head up around to hook up with them
Nezamil will lead the trio up (and up the J-file)and around the grasping jungle
Bash brothers Hal Ac 21 Hp 62/62 and Kirk Ac 18 Hp 51 Thursday August 3rd, 2006 6:21:20 PM
The bash brothers breathe a sigh of relief when Nezamil appears "about time " retorts Hal with a smile
Witha good natured slap on Ranger Johns back " yeah we wouldn't be here without him "
Kirk adds " he's quite the archer ...pegged the snakeman right in the head "
Hal takes up rear guard " yo bro you get behind the guy as he widens a path for us ....John in the middle and lets move out "as they follow after Nezamil
Rigging ac 20 hps 70/77 blinking, mage armor, flying, protection from arrows Thursday August 3rd, 2006 6:54:24 PM
Captain Rigging looks about at his troops " looks like we gave them a taste of whats to come.....they all won't be this easy"
Nodding at Appolo's suggestion " good thinking.....keep that up and i might let you become Captain " as Rigging teases the rogue
" Swirl ....cricle the battlefield and search out our friends "
Turning to Cosmo " Cosmo reach out and touch the others with your message spell ...we need to regroup ....bring them to our location"
The rest of you search the nearby body's and lets see what type of equipment they use .....we might get a glimmer of how sophisticated they are "

Cosmo (AC 25; HP 53/57) d20+6=16 Thursday August 3rd, 2006 8:45:13 PM
"Rigging I need to see them to contact them with the Message spell."
Cosmo will listen intently to see if he can hear any of the missing wildcards or snake creatures.
Listen 16.
Cosmo will stick near the group.

He swords wavering, Ashira continues to press her attack, despite her fear of the creature in front of her. Managing to connect once (AC 24 for 10), her fear keeps her from dishing out anymore damage.
End of Combat---ADM Nellie Thursday August 3rd, 2006 11:13:00 PM
OOC: Since there are only two foes left, I'm going to move the action along. Also, I'll be away from home tomorrow, so I will make the Friday post on Saturday. Just giving you guys a heads up.
With most of the Wildcards forming up, the battle is easily finished. Ashira quickly dispatches her foe and then moves on to the halfblood, dispatching him as well.
There is still no sign of the Abomination that got away, and the figure that Ghem previously spotted seems to have melted back into the jungle. And so, for now, the only sounds are the ones made by the Wildcards and various insects and birds. Minutes pass and eventually the weeds in the entangled area die down, making it much easier for everyone to link up. A few minutes later, the magic gripping Ashira and Val fades. The compulsion to flee from the snakes is nothing but an embarrassing memory now.
The Yuan Ti's equipment is gathered...which consists of several fine looking scimitars and longbows and about two dozen arrows. There are also several necklaces composed of human fingers and a couple of shrunken skulls which look to be elven.
OOC: I don't have the equipment list on me right now. Will post on Saturday.
Mykael -- HP 41/56, AC 27 d20+7=10 d20+1=5 d20+7=23 d20+7=18 Thursday August 3rd, 2006 11:37:40 PM
Mykael nods to the Captain, "Loot bodies, got ya."
'Guide me there, Ghem. Give me directions to where you saw the Yuan-ti and landmarks. Stay with me, dont lose it, and stay in the trees to keep hidden'
Mykael turns and looks at any bodies in the direction that Ghem told him he saw a Yuan-ti and makes his was toward the body as if he is going to loot it.
"Keep sharp people they could hit us again at anytime," Mykael warns. As he looks around to keep his bearings with Ghems directions.
OOC: I wasnt sure what you meant by which end of the trail was the head and if the Yuan-Ti is on the trail or where. So Mykael makes a full move in the direction Ghem stated acting as though he is going to loot a body and is just being careful by scanning around, when he is actually, moving toward the invisible Yuan-ti and looking for landmarks. IF Mykael can get within close range to have only a 10% concealment modifier, then he will cast a web spell in the area Ghem states. Until then he is just moving and looting along the way, as if he has no clue.
Appolo Friday August 4th, 2006 2:50:25 AM
Appolo links up with the others.Seeing Mykeal walk into the jungle he yells"Mykeal come back let them go.Call Ghem back as well.Ok people gather what you can."He then turns to Rigging"So what's the plan now.Are we heading for the village or back to the sword."
Bart Friday August 4th, 2006 12:06:03 PM
Bart picks up the stuff from the dead bodies around him he makes sure he picks up a bow and a quiver with arrows
Nezamil Ac 20 Hp 81/81 Endure elements,Magic vestment+2Ac,Freedom of movement Friday August 4th, 2006 10:57:32 PM
Nezamil leads the Bash brothers and Ranger John around the entangling jungle (up J-file) and around it till the magical energy disipates allowing less hindering travel
They search out Captain Rigging and their fellow friends
Rigging ac 20 hps 70/77 blinking, mage armor, flying, protection from arrows Saturday August 5th, 2006 12:16:10 PM " you see anybody ??....find Ashira!!" beams Rigging to his familiar
AS the the Wildcards start to gather by the Captain he surveys his troops " good work....now those staying with the Sword and Tomas can return down the path we just cleared.....the rest of us will head to the village and then move out from there "

Cosmo (AC 25; HP 53/57) Saturday August 5th, 2006 4:00:24 PM
Cosmo is glad when all the group links back up. A few nicks here and there, but no one appears to be hurt significantly. Cosmo looks at his own wound. Although it is a minor wound it fascinates him nonetheless as it is the first wound he has ever received in battle. And he does not like it!
Cosmo reviews his remaining spells. Ok, not too bad he thinks. There is only one summoning spell left, but it is his most powerful. He is happy to see most of his evocation spells remaining.
"Good, Rigging let's push on. Some of my current spells only last another 80 minutes or so."
OOC -- so what was the final tally of the dead Yuan-ti by numbers and type?

Ashira Saturday August 5th, 2006 11:49:42 PM
Phew!!
Hearing Rigging's call, Ashira heads back toward the others, surveying the battlefield. "That wasn't so bad." she says, trying to assure herself that her sudden terror had been just a fluke.
Looking over at her husband, she grins. "Well, you want to push on to the village? With resistance like that, we could probably mop up well in an hour and a half. Still, I get the feeling that these weren't their best troops...the archers that attacked the Sword were definately better skilled that these clowns!"
Decisions----ADM Nellie Saturday August 5th, 2006 11:59:01 PM
Eyes turn toward Rigging as it becomes decision time. Return or press the attack? It seems to be a simple question, but it must be addressed none the less.
Meanwhile, all the equipment is gathered, and a final body count is determined.
Bart Sunday August 6th, 2006 3:11:38 PM
Let s go I will go in front now, I havent got any scratch during last battle. The rest of us is slightly wounded
Mykael -- HP 41/56, AC 27 Sunday August 6th, 2006 9:16:13 PM
"Battle finally woke you from your depression? eh, Apollo."
"Lets get moving before they can regroup. Press the attack."
Rigging mage armor, protection from arrows d20+12=13 Sunday August 6th, 2006 9:53:47 PM
Rigging smiles in satisfaction as the bodies are looted. "We will head back to the ship only long enough to drop off the loot and pick up our villager volunteers to bring them to the village."
Rigging will help carry some of the spoils of war and when they get back to the ship says, "First part of the mission is done. We killed 21 of them including one of their leaders. I think you should be safe enough for a couple of days but watch for hidden archers.
We are moving on to the village. Tomas you are in charge while I am gone. Keep this crew safe and keep repairs going as best you can."
Rigging will grab the two brave villagers and start heading back to the village still keeping a close eye out for trouble. (course he is a bit distracted, rolled a natural one for spot)
Val Monday August 7th, 2006 10:09:56 AM
After checking to make sure that Melonie was unharmed, Val smiles at her young friend and gives many words of encouragement. Honestly she would have enjoyed pressing the attack against the snakes but walking back to the ship with Melonie's company wasn't so bad either. Another battle and nobody died. That makes a good day.
Appolo Monday August 7th, 2006 11:13:58 AM
After the battle and everyone has rejioned the group Applo seeks out Vlanthe.it is quite clear that he is making sure she is un harmed."I', glad to see the two of you are well.These things aren't worth much ona the battlefeild are they."
He then walks back to the ship with the others.
Rigging illegal post Monday August 7th, 2006 11:52:41 AM
Rigging listens to the Wildcard's good spirits and joins in with it but cautions, "We have only seen their raiders, and a couple of leaders. They attacked us disjointed. We need to be prepared for a more coordinated defense and ways to get people out of entangle spells.
Still I am proud of you all. We hit hard and fast. We worked together and were victorious. Not a bad couple minutes work.
Ashira, Bart and Val, I want you to come up with some hit and run tactics that we can use to hit them where they live. They seem to be very good in the jungle, so we will need some good escape routes planned. Remember we think there are hundred of these things, but we should enjoy the advantage of surprise the first time anyway. Might get more dicey after that."

Not totally happy about going back to the Sword as his current spells will end. Cosmo falls in place as the group moves.
Ashira Monday August 7th, 2006 10:24:42 PM
The ranger nods, beginning to think through the battle. She tries to think through what the village will be like. As she travels, she asks Cosmo and Rigging what spells they have available, as that will impact her tactics.
Return trip (or Happy Trails)---ADM Nellie Monday August 7th, 2006 11:52:18 PM
Happy with their recent success, the Wildcards head back to the Sword with the loot they have found. The trip is uneventful, and all the crew is thrilled at the return of the Wildcards. Conner demands a specific play by play of the battle in order to determine the results of the bets.
Everyone has a chance to cool down and get some water before they pick up the villagers to drop them back off at the village. David looks very excited and also a little worried "We've got to get back there and warn the others about the danger!"
Quickly gathering their things, the villagers ready themselves to travel with the Wildcards.
OOC: Marching order and spot checks please.
Bart Tuesday August 8th, 2006 9:30:05 AM
Hit and run tactics? I wish they where in the open so we could move faster then in the jungle. Dont we have a spell that we can use for that? so we can move as fast as if we where on a plain? We have to pin them down with arrows. I havent used a bow for long, i prefer my sword but i know how to use it. I wall walk in second this time.
Val d20+4=8 Tuesday August 8th, 2006 10:33:54 AM
"Captain hit and run tactics is exactly what they expect. I hate hit and run. Let's march in there, kick down their doors, and kill em all."
Val looks at Appolo walking ahead of her and Melonie. Maybe he wants to be friends but could she take that chance? Val doesn't think that things can ever go back to the way they were. It's just not something that she can do right now.

Rigging sips on some water as he listens to Val's objections. "I agree we should push our first attack hard and to the limit but they do have us outnumbered at least 30 to 1. We need to do some scouting, find out where the leaders live and see if we can eliminate them first. Sounds like the priests control the big snake we encountered so our first goal might be to hit them first.
We want to take out as many abominations as possible as they seem to be the royalty of the race. If we can cut off their head, hopefully the body will wither and their morale will sink.
After our first raid though, they will be ready for us. They seem expert on traps and tactics that deal in surprise. We need to be more cautious on our next attacks. We will also need to find some kind of secure base, that we can rest, cure and restock our spells.
Cosmo, do you have any spells that could accomidate that?"
Marching order: Val, Bart, Mykael, Nezamil,Dave (villager), Female villager, Cosmo, Rigging, Appolo, Ashira. I am assuming that we are keeping the henchmen at home.

The ranger sighs. Fact was the Wildcards weren't exactly equipped for this kind of attack. Still, the resistance had been light so far, so maybe it wouldn't be so bad...but she can't shake the feeling that a couple of freedom of movement spells would go a long way. Taking her place in the line up, Ashira keeps her eyes and ears attuned to the jungle around her (Spot=24).
Nasty surprises---ADM Nellie d20+18=34 d6=4 d4=1 Wednesday August 9th, 2006 12:07:18 AM
OOC:Time to travel back to the village and to current location is 60 minutes. Please mark off spells.
The return trip toward the village goes very well, without so much as a snake spotted along the journey. However, about halfway there, things take a turn for the worse. Appolo scoots along in front of the group, determined to take the lead. He moves swiftly and easily down the trail, until quite unexpectedly, he feels his feet slipping out from under him. Reflex DC20 or fall into a 10 foot deep covered pit (taking 5 pts. of damage).
As the rest of the party heads along the trail, Ghem suddenly gets the feeling that there are several creatures out in the jungle...though he doesn't know exactly where (blindsense). He thinks that the creatures might be somewhere on the edge of his range (about 50 feet) and there are about 3 of them.
OOC: Map to come out tomorrow, but right now it's not really needed.

Ever the agile one, Appolo deftly side steps the trap as it opens before him and scoots just off of the trail (sorry, you'll have to move left, because there's a river on the right) and hunkers down. But just as he moves off the trail, Appolo feels a strange tugging at his legs (Ref. DC 25 or be caught in a snare and suspended 5 feet from the ground).
Meanwhile, the other Wildcards are alerted to danger and snap into action. Since there is a river running the full length of the right side of the trail, Nezamil and Mykael step in front of the villagers, affording them protection from the enemies that Ghem has spotted in the jungle. Ghem beams to Mykael "Make that four of them. Don't know where they are for sure. They're moving a little, but not toward us..." Though Rigging stares hard into the jungle, even his keen eyes can't make out the location of the enemy.
Seconds later, Ghem's cryptic message is unraveled as arrows flit through the jungle underbrush from the west. Almost all of the arrows miss their mark, but one finds its way past all the undergrowth and lands with a thud in Val's arm (AC22 for 11pts.).
OOC: There is normal movement along the trail. Ashira knows that movement in the jungle will be at half speed with no running, tumbling, spring attack, etc. Vision is at best 30 feet into the woods, with some chance of vision out to 40 or 50 feet. There is a 10% concealment chance within 30 feet (melee & bow, etc.), 40% at 40 feet (missile, etc.) and 70% at 50 feet (missile, etc.).
Please post your positions and remember that movement is halved in the jungle.

Rigging hears the advice and agrees, "Everyone keep moving. Lets put them behind us and then turn and fight if we have too. Watch out for more traps on the path in front of us."
Rigging will then pull out his wand of fireballs and send a fireball centered on G29 hoping to catch a few but also to add a smoke screen and burn away some of their cover.

Mykael takes in the battle and comes to the conclusion that perhaps the current enemy tactics are only meant to delay. Rigging agrees, and calls for the hidden Appolo to start clearing the path for the party. Ghem does not sense any forward movement from the enemy.
Arrows continue to fly from the jungle, most of them aimed Appolo's way, but they all bounce harmlessly off his armor or stick in trees. Rigging fires off his fireball which is unfortunately not accompanied by a chorus of screams, but does create a good deal of smoke. All eyes turn to Appolo and Val, waiting to see if they adhere to the Captain's orders. (Appolo, I will need Disable rolls from you if you adhere to Rigging's plan)

Rigging moves 30' up the path, looking for something to aim at. He tries to spot the arrows and then use his brain to try and figure out where they are coming from. He sees them, does a quick math problem in his head extrapolating the area and launches another fireball from his wand.

Moving right along...---ADM Nellie d100=30 d20-2=4 d6=5 d4=2 Sunday August 13th, 2006 10:45:18 PM
The Wildcards decide that the attack is a ruse, and so decide to press on (250xp bonus to Mykael for correctly recognizing the tactic). Appolo scoots down the path, checking it for traps. Unfortunately, he does not recognize the well camoflagued pit trap in front of him until it's almost too late (Refl. 20 or take 7 pts. of damage).
Rigging watches Appolo struggle with the trap around him and decides to stick where he's at for the moment being. The Captain carefully takes in the direction of the arrows and carefully triangulates to find the enemy location. He launches his fireball and it zooms toward its target, but unfortunately detonates about halfway into the jungle foliage (70% cover, rolled 30) . Still, the smoke from the smoldering undergrowth does aid in the effort to continue down the trail, as no further arrows head the Wildcard's way (250xp bonus to Rigging for the smart fireball tactic).
If Appolo has fallen in the trap, he is quickly fished out, and the Wildcards head down the trail. No further traps are found, and Ghem does not sense that they are being followed. He does detect several different life forms in the jungle, including several snakes, but none of them appear to be doing anything suspicious. About a half an hour into the journey (only a few minutes to village) the sounds of a massive struggle can be heard, as well as several screams from women.
Total time elapsed since the first battle with the Yuan Ti is 90 minutes.

Upon hearing the battle and the screams, Mykael starts casting.
(Mount X2, 2 rds to cast both, made spell failures for both = 96% and 71%)
"Rigging, Val and I will head forward and help to the best of our ability, the rest of you hurry as fast as you can."
"Val, they need our help, and you want to smash more snakes... you willing to ride with me?" Mykael states as he climbs aboard his summoned horse.
Ghem fly ahead along the path and warn me of any snakemen that could ambush Val and me, or the party. And tell me what is happening in the village. Stay out of sight!
Appolo Ac 23 Hp 68 d20+13=30 Monday August 14th, 2006 2:50:49 AM

Now get your self together and chop us some snakemen. Besides, the more we kill now, the less we well have to deal with in their city."
Rigging will mount the horse and spur it forward towards the village. He orders Swirl to give him a flyby to scout. Swirl will zoom ahead gaining some height to 20' and move at sprint speed towards the village. He will send back his thoughts on what he sees to Rigging.

But she was young...hopefully she'd figure out that it takes more than just elves to make the world go around...
Unsheathing her swords, Ashira sprints quickly through the undergrowth and toward the village. As she runs, Ashira takes a careful look around her, warry of more traps from their enemy. (Spot=31, Listen=29)
Bad Omens----ADM Nellie Tuesday August 15th, 2006 9:51:40 AM
Mykeal, Rigging and Cosmo approach the village and find the place in shambles...tables over turned, food flung everywhere. Though the faint sounds of a struggle continue, at first glance, there is little hope for the village. A dozen of the young men lie in pools of blood, their bodies strewn about the village...it is clear that they are either dead or on death's doorstep. One youth grasps desperately at his abdomen, trying to push his intestines back through the gaping hole in his chest. Nearby, a decapitated body stains the ropes that hold it in place on a palm tree a bright crimson red. The scene is not so much of a battlefield, but gives more the impression of a large macabre playground. It is plainly obvious that the creatures that inflicted these wounds found a large measure of pleasure inflicting them. It's also clear that several of the wounded/dead were toyed with before the killing blow was delivered.
From his winged mount, Cosmo is spared the gory spectacle that affronts Mykael and Rigging. His bird's eye advantage also makes it easy to spot the conflict that is taking place near the cleared area toward the back of the village. Flying in for a closer (but not too close!!) look, Cosmo spots a villager pinned down by two Yuan Ti. The young man brandishes a shining axe in his hands that he is waving around, desperately trying to fend off the snake creatures attacks. Bleeding from several wounds, he doesn't look like he'll last too long on his own.
The screaming can still be heard, but it is now very muffled and coming from the direction of the jungle.
The rest of the Wildcards, from their unmounted positions on the trail cannot quite make out the carnage, but it is clear the village is in trouble. David spurs them on. "Hurry up, they need your help...you've got to save them!" he begs Nezamil.

Rigging heads over to the mortally wounded youth and prepares to administer the critical healing. Clearly in shock, the teen fumbles with his innards as he stares glassy eyed at Rigging. "They...just came out from now where. We...we didn't even have anything to fight them with...and, they took the ones with child. I think Marcos got the axe... Why is it so cold?" Sweat beading on his forehead, the young man begins to shake.
Travel is much easier in the clear cut village, and the remaining Wildcards rush forward, eager for action.
Noting their arrival, and Appolo's taunts, the snakemen turn for an instant. Cold, emotionless eyes search and appraise. And then one of the creatures lets out a long hiss that could very well be a laugh. "Wait your turn, meatsssack. We're not done with this one yet." The teenager swings the heavy, glowing axe awkwardly and misses the snakeman in front of him altogether. Hissing in pleasure, the Yuan Ti press their attack. The pureblood behind the teen slices deeply into the back of his leg resulting in a large spurt of blood. The other pureblood, clearly enjoying himself, launches a well orchestrated attack with all but severs the youth's left arm from his body. The villager stumbles to one knee, holding the axe in front of him in a defensive posture.
From his eye in the sky position, Cosmo has no problem taking in the battle between the villager and the Yuan Ti, as well as the arrival of the rest of the Wildcards. However, he finds it next to impossible to spot what going on in the jungle from an elevated position, considering all the trees and dense undergrowth.

(concentration rolls = Mykaels - 22, Riggings - 14)(If Riggings fails it wont hurt, he dismounted)
Mykael seeing the boy in distress and trying so hard, spurs him into desperate action. Mykael urges the horse into full gallop for a charge. He guides the horse just to the right of the battle, and since the boy is prone from his lost limbs, he should be clear of attack. Mykael launches himself from the horse shield first, just before he reaches PB1, in an aerial overrun attempt of both PB1 and PB2, using the momentum from the charge.
(ride check = 25) (Attack roll = AC 30, nat 20)(assumed needed) (2nd attack roll = AC 29)(may be needed to hit PB2) (jump check = 9)(if needed) (str check = 7)(if needed) (no clue what horse str check would be)
(Mykael has improved overrun, but not sure how this will be handled since from horseback. He wants to use his momentum, shield, wieght, and size, to knock PB1 over and away from the villager and PB2 down and away from the villager.)
(Mykael should end his position in either I6 or J6)

He then takes a 5' step to the right (J26)and launches a magic missile spell at PB1 (rolled spell resistance of 26) doing 11 points of damage to it.

The Wildcards snap into action quickly as the Yuan Ti threat is discovered. Nezamil and Rigging tend to the wounded as the fighters charge in.
The teenager takes the potion in very shaky hand and somehow manages to drink it down. The wound miraculously closes, leaving only a small pink scar and a bug eyed teenager. Rising slowly to his feet, he stares at Rigging as if he were a god. Then Rigging blasts the Yuan Ti with his wand, and the adoration in the villagers eyes "I...you...I...wait for me!"
The gigantic Nezamil pounds forward, making the very earth itself tremble. He makes it to the center of the village and does a quick inspection of the wounded. Six of the young men are obviously beyond healing (including the decapitated one), but Domi's faithful is fairly sure that should he act quickly, he could probably save the rest.
Appolo, Ashira, and Bart all make a dash for the battle, but can't quite reach the snakemen just quite yet.
The fleet of foot Val, however, does move forward and takes up a position behind the rear Yuan Ti (PB1). Very soon, things are going to turn very ugly!!
Still mounted on his stead, Mykael urges it on toward the battle, but finds a bit of a traffic jam in front of him. He gallops to a position just outside the Yuan Ti (K11). (OOC: Mykael, you can't reach the enemy this round. I've positioned you assuming a double movement on the horse. If, however, you want to charge next round, then just let me know where you wanted to end up).
The Yuan Ti at the rear (PB1) hisses in pain as Rigging's bolts of magical energy bite into him. He turns, only to find Val right behind him....not exactly what he had in mind at the present moment!! Once again, Val feels a magic attempting to invade her...telling her to run for her life from the horrible snake creatures (Will save DC17 or become afraid of snakes...don't forget the elven +2 bonus, you also get a AoO on the Yuan Ti).
Literally fighting for his life, the teenager with the axe manages to stagger to his fee and swings the axe with all his might. This time, he meets with success, and the weapon rips through the Yuan Ti like a hot knife. But the victory comes with a heavy price as the Yuan Ti strikes back with a vengeance. The scimitar lances through the villager's chest twice and he crumples to the ground...unconscious or worse.
Meanwhile, Swirl continues to scout in the jungle for the screams. It's a little easier up above the foliage, but it's still hard work. Finally, the elemental catches sight of a snakeman (roughly 300 feet away from the village) carrying a bulging sack. Rigging gets a mental ping. "Hey boss, I think I got one of them...he's got a big sack and it's moving around. Ooops...I think he saw me too...hey, what's that he's doing?" (Fort save DC18 or be turned into a snake...Swirl has an additional +4 bonus to that save, Will save DC17 or become petrified of snakes...and must move at least 20 feet away from any snake, living or dead).

With the yuan-ti so close Val begins to work. Her body turns sharply, bringing the flail down and across the serpents body. Her arms continue with the momentum, bringing the flail around and down againg.

Rigging hears a mental scream in his head. "Snakes Snakes! I have to get away from the snakes!" Swirl decides that their won't be many snakes up high and he moves straight up through the canopy into the clear air. (Failed saving throw. natural 1)
Rigging just sighs in resignation but at least he has an idea where the enemy is. Rigging will call out to Ashira, "Dearest! Swirl saw one of the snakeman carrying a pregnant villager away in a sack. He was going that way." Rigging points. "It is in the jungle and around 300 feet away. Shall we attempt a rescue?"
Rigging will start running in the direction that Swirl directed. Not sure of direction so can't place location.
OOC, Rigging didn't use a wand last round but used a spell.

Death and Distruction----ADM Nellie d20+8=27 d20+4=8 Saturday August 19th, 2006 12:34:32 AM
Val lashes into her opponent with a fury...ooooh no...they aint getting her again with that old spell. Time and time again, her flail smashes into the Yuan Ti's body, ripping scales and rending muscle. By the end of her assault, the creature is still standing, but its breathing is ragged. It won't take much more to send him to Gargul. And then, Appolo steps forward and slices into the creature, literally taking it's breath away as he punctures its lung. It slumps to the ground very dead.
Meanwhile, Bart moves in for the assist. Yep, won't be long now.
Rigging and Cosmo head out to find the kidnappers, but Ashira advises that they wait for the others. What to do...stay or go?
Cosmo flies above the jungle and scans the floor. But try as he might, he just can't see anything down there. However, he does think he hears some faint muffled crying further off in the jungle (how far can the gryphon fly per round?).
Mykael hops off his mount and moves into the battle. Things are definitely looking not so good for the Yuan Ti about now! Nezamil sets to the task of healing the wounded. His spell goes off without a hitch, and the mortally wounded rise to their feet, praising the giant. At his suggestion that they fetch the other villagers, the young men look down at the ground in grief. "They took them into the jungle. They killed most of us, but the others they knocked out and took with them. There's nobody left but us." Looking around, the teens grab whatever make shift weapons they can find...now that the warriors are here, they look ready to extract a little vengeance. "Don't make us go into the jungle alone." They almost plead "We feel safer traveling with you."
The sole remaining Yuan Ti (PB2) on the battlefield looks very uneasy. This isn't exactly the kind of game he had in mind! He promptly tucks tale and heads into the jungle, intent on escape (Mykael, you get an AoO on PB2 for the action).

If you could please have Cosmo and Mykael update us on the status of the enemy, that would be useful." she states cooly before heading into the jungle after the kidnapping Yuan Ti.
Into the Jungle----ADM Nellie d20+8=22 Sunday August 20th, 2006 11:32:15 PM
Determined to down the fleeing enemy Appolo flings his dagger, pegging the sucker right in his back. But it doesn't do enough damage to down the creature. Mykael tries to polish it off, but his swing goes wide and the pureblood slips into the jungle.
Bart cures the wounded villager (who he recognizes as the one called Marcos). Marcos smiles up at his savior. "I knew you would come for us. Somehow I just knew!" Looking over at Val, Marcos hands her the axe. "Here...you take this. I tried, I really tried, but I'm sure you'd be able to wield it better." Marcos spots the other healed villagers and smiles with relief. "You saved them too. We owe you our lives! If you want us to, we will go..." Marcos lets the statement linger, waiting to see what the Wildcards have to say.
In the meantime, the Wildcards link up and ready themselves for another trip into the jungle. Cosmo reports back and gives Rigging a very good indication of where the enemy is located. In addition, Mykael sends Ghem into the jungle to scout. The little dragon flits off above the trees (though he is sure to stay within the range of communication) and reports a normal amount of jungle wildlife encountered so far (60 feet into the jungle).
OOC: I need a marching order and spot checks, please.
Val AC 19, 139/ 139 Monday August 21st, 2006 1:35:29 PM
Val takes the axe. She was hesitant at first but it was probably much better than her flail. She held the axe tightly in both hands and runs for the jungle.
"I'm going first. I get first dibs on them snakes."
ooc: what are the stats of the axe?
Bart Ac 27 hp 86/86 Monday August 21st, 2006 2:13:31 PM
The stout warrior grins at Marcos " keep your people together....and pick up the snakemens weapons "as he points to the dead bodies "
"Stay here or seek the ship out....but i fear its too dangerous for you to follow us"
The big warrior turns and runs after the faster elven warrior " wait up Val " shouts Bart

Mykael moves as quickly as possible to stay with the group and near the front making sure they stay on track of the snakes.
Keep it up, my friend your doing great. I suggest you fly ahead of us and find them, then fly back and report. Keep using that tactic until we are close enough. We shouldnt be hard to find with all the noise we make and size of our group. Plus Cosmo is up there and you can keep him in sight to help locate us. Use the trees for cover staying above them. And watch out for arrows.

Rigging Monday August 21st, 2006 9:41:07 PM
Rigging gathers the Wildcards together and gets tries to get them organized. "We need a plan. Can anyone detect traps or are we going to have to rely upon Appolo to do our scouting. I have faith in him but it is slower."
Rigging will call out to the other villagers, "I don't want you coming with us into the jungle. We are trained in these things and you would only slow us down and that could cost your lady friends their lives along with their unborn children. I think you should hole up in one of these buildings and wait. We will bring any surviviors we can back here and then you all can make your way back to the ship together."
Rigging will then call up to Swirl sensing his fears. "Hey buddy, come back down. I will protect you."
Rigging will organize the others, Cosmo, you are flying high cover and will lead us to them. Appolo up front to look for traps, followed by Ashira, Val, Mykael, Nezamil, Bart and then myself. I will watch that back. Ghem can try and watch our flanks. Lets go people, lives are at stake."
Ashira (AC27, HP 112/112) d20+12=22 Tuesday August 22nd, 2006 12:07:39 AM
Having said fill and feeling more than a little miffed at her husband, Ashira lets him organize things. When the group is ready, she takes up the second place position and starts to track the Yuan Ti (track=22).
Into the Jungle 2----ADM Nellie d100=80 d20+18=24 d20+13=18 d20+8=28 Tuesday August 22nd, 2006 12:37:20 AM
Rigging queries the group on their ability to detect traps, and formulates a battle plan. Then he tries to reconnect with Swirl, which is met with a large degree of resistance... Nooooo way...I'm not going back down there with those slimy things...unuh. (OOC: George, roll another Will save DC17 for Swirl. If he succeeds, then he manages to shake off part of the spell, but takes a -4 penalty to Dexterity as long as he is 20 feet close to a snake)
Rigging, Bart and Nezamil all suggest that the villagers stay behind or head to the ship. The teens look relieved at the suggestion, as they have apparently had more than enough "adventure" with the creatures for one day. They quickly strip the dead Yuan Ti of its equipment and give it to Marcos. "Don't worry, Captain. I'll look after the others until you get back." Though young and inexperienced, the boy seems sincere enough and he sets up watch outside of one of the huts, looking very strange in the bulky leather armor of the Yuan Ti.
Val takes the axe and finds it incredibly light...and more than a little distracting, considering it could make a fantastic night light with the way it glows! (OOC: For now, just treat it as a battle axe...I'll supply you with the stats once you use it in combat. :) )
Gathering the needed supplies, the group heads out into the overgrown and steamy jungle. Once more, they find travel very difficult and the progress is slow (1/2 speed for those on the jungle floor, excluding Ashira and possibly Nezamil, no double movement or running).
Ghem heads out ahead of the party, and after traveling about 100 feet into the jungle he contacts Mykeal. "Hey boss, got a group of about 4 of them about 50 feet away, but I can't pin them down. What do you want me to do?"
OOC: I assume Ghem is flying at 60 ft/round. So, Ghem's report would come to Mykeal after the group has spent approximately 2 rounds in the jungle (or roughly 30 feet into the jungle).
Val AC 19, 139/ 139 Tuesday August 22nd, 2006 10:56:57 AM
Val takes a few swings with the axe, finding it pleasingly light. Her strength is great but the axe feels nearly weightless in her hand. Hopefully its as sharp as it is light.
"With the way we are all glowing they will see us coming a mile away."
Bart Ac 27 hp 86/86 Tuesday August 22nd, 2006 4:01:45 PM

Appolo smiles "no problem boss."He then moves forward on point taking about a 50 ft lead on the rest of the party,as they head into the jungle.He is ever on the lookout for trouble.
As he moves Appolo sticks to the shadows and moves silently as possible.

Cosmo follow Riggings orders and scouts ahead. He also "hears" the dragon's message in his head. Since Cosmo's speed is faster than the group on the ground, he will fly in a circle around the group as it moves through the jungle. If he spots or hears anything he will report back to Rigging and the rest of the Wildcards.

Rigging d20+11=28 Tuesday August 22nd, 2006 9:12:28 PM
Rigging will move along with the group watching for any kinds of activity behind them. When he hears about the group of 4, he will gather the Wildcards and say, "OK, we need to hit this group hard and fast. I want our fighting groups put together. Val Mykeal and Appolo in one and Ashira, Bart and Nezamil in the other. Cosmo and Myself are the reserves. Cosmo summon some of your animal friends and have them concentrate on one of them. I will spell cast on the fourth to keep him busy. The plan is the 2 groups of 3 take on one each, take them down fast and then move onto the others. If one is an abomination, I want Val's group to attack it. Let's see what that axe will do."
Swirl makes his saving throw and comes back down to Rigging's level.
Mykael -- HP 41/56, AC 27 Wednesday August 23rd, 2006 12:12:22 AM Ghem, keep looking. We will handle these 4. Find the group of kidnappers and then report back.
"More delaying tactics. We dont have time for this. Not that we are going to make up any ground in this dang jungle." Mykael thinks aloud.
"Good idea Rigging, however, I think we just hit all 4 at once. If we can. Watch for traps, but none of them have proven too formidable. We cant afford to be too careful, people's lives are in danger."
Mykael (extra post) Wednesday August 23rd, 2006 12:15:53 AM
"Rigging, the 4 will probably just use traps and missile fire like the last ones. Better to just move past them, unless they directly engage us. We cant wast time."
Ashira (AC27, HP 112/112) Wednesday August 23rd, 2006 12:40:21 AM
The ranger watches as the group crawls through the jungle, while she, on the other hand moves quickly and easily. "This just doesn't feel right..." she mutters. When the enemy is reported, Ashira forms up with her group, but nods at Mykael's thoughts. "Appolo, you keep a sharp eye out for traps...I don't want to be hanging from a tree anytime soon!"

The enemy is detected, and the Wildcards regroup on Rigging's orders, with Ghem guiding them to the enemy's position. Ghem prepares to head out, but he is suddenly inundated with a magical assault. (Two Will saves DC 17 or the pseudodragon becomes petrified of snakes and must stay 20 feet away from them).
Swirl returns hesitantly back to Rigging, though his master can still sense a large amount of grief when the whirlwind passes too close to any snake.
From his aerial view, Cosmo scans the jungle, looking for signs of the encumbered Yuan Ti. It's hard going with all those vines in the way, but finally his hard work pays off. About 300 feet into the jungle, or 270 feet from the current position of the rest of the party is a group of approximately 9 Yuan Ti and they look to be loaded down, and they're not moving right now. From the report that Ghem has giving, Cosmo figures that the four Yuan Ti previously spotted are in a position in line with the kidnappers. As he is about to circle back toward the Wildcards, Cosmo feels the tingle of magic attempting to control his body. Several of the snake creatures look up toward the sky and hiss menacingly at the griffon. (Gryphon needs to make 2 Fort. Saves DC18 or be turned into a snake...he gets an additional +4 bonus to his Fort save. It also needs to make 2 Will saves DC17 or is terrified of snakes and must stay at least 20 feet away).
Val AC 19, 139/ 139 Wednesday August 23rd, 2006 10:03:27 AM
Val can barely resist the urge to charge forward at full speed. They seem to be distracted and she can cover the distance quickly.
"Let me take them on Captain. There's only 9 of them." Val says eagerly.

At 40 feet distance the miss chance increases to 40%
At 50 feet distance the miss chance increase to 70%

Just as Cosmo spots the snake creatures they attack his magical mount. The creature is able to shake off the baleful polymorphs (Fort saves 23 & 21), but not the fear effects (Will saves 8 & 23).
OOC - These 2 spell like abilities have a pretty short range so I am assuming I am only about 30'-50' away from them.
Cosmo's mount starts to fly away from the snake creatures, but not before Cosmo launches his own attack. He casts Scorching Ray at one of the Yuan-ti Abominations. The 2 rays slam into the evil creature.
Hit TAC's 18 & 12 Damage 14 + 14 = 28
Cosmo flies back to Rigging and the Wildcards at a height of 120'.
"Rigging there are 9 more Yuan-Ti about 300' in that direction. Two of them are Abominations. They are not moving and appear to be loaded down with prisoners."
OOC - What is the make-up of the 9?

OOC Nellie, I am getting confused on where everything is? How close are we to the four? How long until we can attack with our reduced movement?
My appologies...somehow this part of my post got chopped off... So, with 70 feet separating them from the first group of Yuan Ti located (or 5 rounds of movement) and 270 feet (or 18 rounds), the Wildcards find the need to decide which front to attack first...the lone group of four or the kidnappers.---Nellie

Prep Time---ADM Nellie d100=95 Thursday August 24th, 2006 12:25:00 AM
Makeup of nine Yuan Ti spotted by Cosmo All purebloods, and all carrying large sacks. Sorry, no abominations yet. Makeup of four Yuan Ti located by Ghem. Unknown as of yet since Ghem hasn't actually seen them, just noted them with his blindsense.
Cosmo's mount is able to shake off some of the magic assaulting him, but not all. Suddenly terrified, it rears off, but not before Cosmo can fire a parting shot. The rays shoot from Cosmo's hand and weave throught the jungle (cover=95) before finally ripping into the creature, disintegrating it before it can even draw a breath to scream in pain. The sack drops to the ground with a heavy thud. And then there were eight. (OOC: I am going to be nice in this one instance and assume that Cosmo is able to aim the ray precisely at the Yuan Ti and not hit the sack it is holding. However, in the future, be mindful that further attacks could lead to casualties among the hostages.)
Using the information that he's gathered, Rigging decides to hit the problem head on. Fearful of being flanked, the Captain orders that the Wildcards move on the first four Yuan Ti. (OOC: you have 4 rounds of travel remaining if you want any buff spells, or anything. Feel free to post them, as I will be moving things on next round)

The Wildcards move swiftly and easily toward the grouping of four purebloods in the jungle once again with the help of Ghem and Cosmo (?). Having a pretty good bead on the group, the warriors march forward into the jungle. In the lead, Appolo sneaks forward slipping silently from tree to tree. Although he knows he's getting close (they should be about 40 feet away), Scanning the undergrowth carefully, Appolo finally finds what he was looking for...two Yuan Ti about 40 feet away, well camoflagued and almost impossible to see. (OOC: I'm moving this on in the interest of fun. Technically speaking, though visibility is reduced to 30 feet. Just FYI). It looks like for now, the Yuan Ti are unaware of Appolo's presence, though the noise made by the rest of the party causes the two Yuan Ti to notch arrows as they wait for the Wildcards to emerge from the jungle.
In the meantime, Ghem struggles with his fears. Those things are just soooo big and scary. Good thing he can stay away from them and still "see" them! Ghem reports that once more, the snakey things don't seem to be moving...it's more like they're just milling around at the moment, but it's hard to know without actually being able to see them. (OOC: Darain, give me a rough idea of how far Ghem is going to stay away from the 9 kidnappers...20 feet...30 feet...50 feet?)
Remember... Only ½ movement allowed while in the jungle No double moves, and no running or charging or the like.
The maximum visual range in the Jungle is 30 feet.
10 % miss chance in the Jungle

They are just humanoid snakemen. Its a spell that has you. We have been dealing with them for days now. Keep and eye on them, hide for safety, and relax. I will kill them for you. Remember, they are evil and have captured some humans that didnt want to go with them.
Mykael continues to move forward as quickly as possible. If arrows come, he uses his shield to block them as he presses on toward the kidnappers.

The enemy is sighted, and the fight begins. With the Wildcards springing into action, there is little doubt that this fight will last long.
Being one of the closer ones, Appolo moves over to within 20 feet and open fires...unfortunately as he's pulling off the shot, the very grasses underneath his feet begin to twist and wind around his legs. (OOC: Appolo is now in an entangled area...Ref. DC 12 or become entangled. Another note...you cannot sneak attack unless the target is denied it's Dex. Bonus or is flanked. Right now the pureblood is not under either of those conditions). Appolo zips off a couple of arrows which stick in the side of the snakeman but they don't appear to be terribly bothersome.
Rigging and the others move forward, ready for the time to strike. Knowing his enemy likes sneaky tactics, Rigging looks around the battlefield, but can't see anything menacing other than the two Yuan Ti up in front. Ashira moves easily forward, her ranger talents allowing her unrestricted movement through the jungle. However, she fails to see the trap in front of her until it is almost too late (Ref. DC25 or 3 pts. damage...ending in I13, or I12 depending on Reflex).
Seeing the arrival of the enemy, the Yuan Ti hiss in anticipation. Bows at the ready, they fire at the nearest targets...namely Appolo and Ashira. The well armored Wildcards don't even notice the attacks as the arrows ping harmlessly off the metal.
Meanwhile, further in the jungle... Cosmo circles the area. Having learned his lesson, he stay far out of reach of the ranged spells. However, it is pretty difficult to spot much of what's happening on the ground from this altitude. (OOC: Ok, Matt...I'm confused. Sounds like you might be too. There are 4 purebloods where the Wildcards are at and 9 about 200 feet away from the Wildcards. The group of 9 were the Yuan Ti that attacked Cosmo previously. Is Cosmo and his mount sticking around them or are they flying back toward the Wildcards?)
Though he is petrified, Ghem continues his watch on the 9 Pureblood kidnappers...from a much higher vantage point. For the moment, the Yuan Ti look surprisingly sedate, considering one of their number was just turned into charcoal a few minutes ago. Lowering their sacks to the ground, they pull out waterskins and begin drinking...though they appear to be continually scanning the jungle.
Remember... Unless you have Woodland Stride... Only ½ movement allowed while in the jungle No running or charging or the like...though double movement will be allowed.
The maximum visual range in the Jungle is 30 feet.

Mykael -- HP 41/56, AC 27 Monday August 28th, 2006 1:43:22 AM
Mykael continues double moves towards the 9 kidnappers. He will move off toward thier right flank, thus moving to his left.
'Most traps and spells coming from them will be in the middle, need to move toward thier flank,' Mykael considers his tactics to himself.
Darain Monday August 28th, 2006 1:46:05 AM
OOC: Chris, I cant post for Mykael tomorrow night, please keep him moving at double moves towards the nine. Unless something major happens. He is concerned for those captured, thus the Yuan-Ti attempting to delay us are of no concern to him unless, one of the group is in dire peril and he can help.
thanks

Mykael moves forward, not worried about the obvious diversion in front of him. Scooting around to the left, Mykael finds the roots grabbing at his boots and trying to pull him to the jungle floor (OOC: Mykeal is now in an entangled area...Ref. DC 12 or become entangled).
Val is getting more than feed up with the encroaching jungle she whacks at some nearby vines to relieve her mounting tension.
Appolo, on the other hand, springs into action. Taking a look around, he doesn't see anything threatening so he moves forward...only to find his own pit trap in front of him. (Ref. DC25 or 6 pts. damage plus Fort save DC11 or 3 pts. Con damage...ending in 014, or 015 depending on Reflex...also, please remember the Refl. Roll vs the entangle at DC12 if you miss the pit). Hissing in laughter, the pureblood in front of him lets loose with another arrow which comes very close to hitting Appolo.
Ashira heads forward to take down her opponent and falls head over heal for the old covered pit trap. With a loud thump, she hits bottom...and begins looking for a way up.
Seeing the ranger's plight, Bart and Nezamil pull short. Using his long reach, Nezamil gives Ashira a helping hand and fishes her out of the hole. The pureblood in front of them (PB2) fires off a quick arrow as Nemamil tries to rescue Ashira, but it gets stuck in a nearby vine.
Continuing to move forward, Rigging takes a look see...and lo and behold...what does he spot but a pureblood Yuan Ti hiding behind a tree nearby (M9) (OOC: 2 nat. 20's in a row!!! Way to go!!)
Meanwhile, further in the jungle... Cosmo continues to scan the jungle (roll your own spot next time, please) but he's too high up to notice anything in particular (Spot=11).
On the other hand, Ghem, despite his tail shaking fear of the snakey things gets a real good look at the 9 Purebloods. They have put down their sacks, and appear to be pulling several small vials out of pouches and laying them down on the ground in front of them.

Mykael says not this time, as he dodges the entangle and moves on toward the nine. He continues to double move at an angle in an attempt to avoid traps. He also decides to pull his sword. He uses it to stab at the ground every so often looking pit traps. He will not sacrifice movement speed for trap searching, so he just checks the ground periodically, hoping for some luck.

{OOC: The map I sent out Monday night was all messed up. I am going to assume that everyone gets roughly where they stated they wanted to be, even though that would be more movement than allowed. Because of this, however, please read the post carefully as several things are happening).
Rigging, Mykael, Val, Bart and Nezamil have crossed across pit traps as they moved. Need a Reflex save DC25 from Rigging Need a Reflex save DC13 from Mykael (DC halfed since he's using his sword to look for traps. Need a Reflex save DC13 from Val (DC halfed since Appolo tripped the trap for her in a previous round) Need a Reflex save DC13 from Nezamil (DC halfed since Ashira tripped the trap for him in a previous round) Need a Reflex save DC13 from Bart (DC halfed since Ashira tripped the trap for him in a previous round)
Another DM note...All of the following actions are dependant on you not falling into the pits that you passed across. Obviously, if you fail your Reflex save then you have fallen into the 20 feet deep pit and are located on the black square closest to you character on the map.and take 5 points of damage from the fall
Bart, Nezamil and Ashira team up on the pathetic archer in front of them, readying themselves to cut him down quickly. Ashira takes a swipe and slices deeply into the Yuan Ti (miss=45). The creature appears amazed at the speed with which the Wildcards moved forward and quickly drops its bow. Hastily drawing its scimitar, the pureblood's following strike misses Ashira by a mile.
Rigging moves forward with amazing speed. He makes it about half way to the Yuan Ti when there is a sudden flash of light and a crackling. There is a surge of energy and Rigging is wracked with pain (14 pts. electric damage. Ref. DC18 for half) Moving forward in spite of the trap, Rigging takes his frustration out on the Yuan Ti he just found There is a satisfying dribble of blood on his dagger as he sinks it into the pureblood's side (miss=40). Hissing in anger, the pureblood turns and tries to strike Rigging with his scimitar. The blow is hastily placed, and the creature ends up burying the blade in a nearby palm tree. Now clearly frustrated, the Yuan Ti tugs desperately at its weapon.
Val and Appolo move in and surround the pureblood in front of them. It's only a matter of time now. Val feels the plants around her attempting to pull her down. (Ref. DC12 or become entangled) The snakeman drops its bow hastily and takes a swipe at Val with his scimitar, but the blow bounces harmlessly off her armor.
Not at all concerned about the puny purebloods in front of him, Mykael forges his way forward., intent on making it to the kidnappers. He gets a very unpleasant surprise as a scimitar flashes out of nowhere and slices by his ear, missing by a mile. Looking over his shoulder, Mykael sees another pureblood right beside him. That answers the question of the missing pureblood. Meanwhile, Ghem reports that the kidnappers still have not moved and seem to be drinking water from some waterskins.

Rigging sees the pit open up in front of him and nimbly avoids the trap but then stumbles into the shock taking full damage.
Rigging smiles when he sees the sword stuck in the tree and says, "Don't you hate it when that happens?"
Rigging lashes out with sword and dagger hitting twice. The sword only nicks the snakeman but the dagger sinks in deeply and drinks at its life blood. (ooc 2 for sword, 14 points for holy dagger)
Rigging will look down at the dying Yuan-ti and banter, "This snake hunt isn't quite what you expected eh?"

The one sided fight continues to rage.
Bart easily dissects his opponent with his first blow.
Mykael knocks the new pureblood over and keeps on trucking. Nothing's going to stop him from his mission of taking out the kidnappers!! (With double moves, it will take Mykael approximately 9 rounds to reach the kidnappers).
Ashira plays clean up for Mykael and cuts down the prone opponent.
Rigging like the rest of the Wildcards makes short work of his foe, his dagger puncturing the Yuan Ti's lung. It collapses to the jungle floor with a rattle gasping last breath.
Not to be outdone, Appolo and Val slice up the last remaining Yuan Ti. The glowing axe feels incredibly good in Val's hands...light and powerful. The pureblood's face falls as it sees Val approach. Death is in her hands and he knows it. With ease, Val swings the axe and ends it's life with one blow (+3 Snake bane battle axe. Effectively +5 vs. snakes or Yuan Ti and does an additional 2d6 of damage).
It is oddly quiet in the jungle after the combat. A few birds resume singing and Mykael can be heard hiking steadfastly deeper in the jungle.
Ghem hesitantly begins to fly a perimeter around the kidnappers. He reports back to Mykael that for the moment he doesn't sense or see any new snakemen. "When are you going to get here and kill them??"
Cosmo flies back and forth between the kidnappers and the Wildcards. Still no real movement from the 9 Yuan Ti. They look like their settling in...waiting for something maybe. Cosmo estimates that it will take the Wildcards about 9 rounds to reach the kidnappers.

I ran into some kind of glyph or something. Sorry Appolo but you make the most sense to be in the front. I want you in sight though. No sense rushing. If they wanted to kill the hostages, they could have done so by now. I don't want you falling into a pit."

Mykael -- HP 41/56, AC 27 d20+1=6 d20+7=12 Friday September 1st, 2006 1:14:46 AM
Mykael has a lead on the group, and will play trail-blazer until someone is able to catch him and take his place. Otherwise, he doesnt slow one bit.
(Listen = 6, I doubt he hears Rigging)
If he does hear Rigging...
Hollering back a response, "Captain, they will kill them. Perhaps later rather than sooner. But the are still captives, and the Yuan Ti could change thier mind at any moment. Not to mention, they appear to be waiting on something. It could be a travel spell, reinforcements, or who knows what. Either way, I plan to get there before they get what they waiting on."
Mykael continues his double moves and still uses his sword to try and spot traps before he gets to them.

Val grumbles as she moves to the back of the line. Thats exactly the last place she should be. Besides being adept at dealing with traps she should be first to smash through the yuan-ti.
George Friday September 1st, 2006 11:52:00 AM
ooc Hearing some grumbling. My main goal was to get us all organized and back together. Trying to keep the trap springing to a minimum. Put Ashira in the middle so she can react to either direction if conflict arises since she has better mobility. I needed one good fighter in the back for when we get surprised from the rear. Suppose it could have been Bart but just picked Val. Upon further reflection, Val is probably better suited up front with the axe and if Bart wants to go to the back, so be it.
Appolo Ac 23 Hp 68 Friday September 1st, 2006 7:18:37 PM
Appolo looks at Rigging"I'm okI would like Valanthe with me.She can deal with traps and has the speed to stay with me."
Trail Blazers----ADM Nellie Saturday September 2nd, 2006 12:14:15 AM
Rigging does his best to reorganize the Wildcards, but Mykael either can't hear or chooses not to hear the Captain. Either way, while the reorganization is going on, Mykael continues into the jungle, giving himself a 60 foot lead in front of the rest of the Wildcards.
Rigging sets up a marching order, which, after much grumbling is changed. Appolo takes point with a 10 foot lead and then Val, Nezamil, Ashira, Rigging, and Bart follow single file.
The trip through the jungle begins to take its toll as the day approaches midday. It's not just hot, it's oppressive...almost unbearable. Those wearing armor are quickly drenched in sweat that is absolutely useless considering there is enough water in the air to fill a small pond. And all the fighting and marching doesn't help. One would think that the considerable plant life would provide a small measure of comfort by blocking out the searing sun, but it just amplifies the humidity...and apparently provides a nice comfortable home for insects. Mosquitoes and leeches abound as the Wildcards follow after the airborne Cosmo.
After a few minutes of marching, Mykael gets a message from Ghem. "Hey, they've gathered their stuff and are moving. It's weird, though because they don't look like they're in a rush. They haven't moved far." (Mykael is now 60 feet from the position of the kidnappers.)
OOC: Due to his 60 foot lead,. Mykael is currently the only Wildcard close to striking range of the Yuan Ti. Moving at a double move, it will take the Wildcards two rounds to reach where Mykael is currently and four rounds to make it to the current location of the Yuan Ti. Also, please feel free to post any actions you have taken in the past 9 rounds)
Jungle properties... Only ½ movement allowed while in the jungle. (So for most a normal movement is 15 feet...a "double move" would be 30 feet) No running or charging or the like...though double movement will be allowed.
The maximum visual range in the Jungle is 30 feet.
10 % miss chance in the Jungle
At 40 feet distance the miss chance increases to 40%
At 50 feet distance the miss chance increase to 70%
Range spells and weapons can not target beyond 50 feet
Mykael -- HP 41/56, AC 27 Sunday September 3rd, 2006 3:05:54 PM
Mykael feels the heat, but is resolute in his task. He is worried that the Yuan Ti chose to rest so they can move faster, while tiring the Wildcards out. However, he is at a serious disadvantage at current range to do much. Therefore, Mykael grits his teeth, thinking of the captives and keeps moving towards his targets as fast as the jungle will allow, another double move.

Rigging d20+12=18 Monday September 4th, 2006 4:06:18 PM
Rigging tries to keep an eye on his friends and look out for the enemy. "Remember they might have hostages but they are also sneaky and if you see one, he is standing behind a pit and he has a friend hiding behind a tree."
He contacts Swirl to see how his familiar is doing? Is he still afraid of the snakes or has that worn off?
Rigging keeps his place in line wondering if Mykael was going to pay for his recklessness.
OOC I am assuming the whole party is making double moves towards the enemy if we don't encounter anything.

Ashira (AC27, HP 108/112) Monday September 4th, 2006 10:16:03 PM
Ashira moves slowly through the jungle trying to accommodate the other, slower members of the party. Still, she knows the importance of staying together. She shakes her head at Mykael's tactics. It's not that she doubts his sincerity...but it's more experience. True these things looked like push overs, but experience has taught her that bad things happen to those that go it alone.
The Trap is Sprung---ADM Nellie d100=32 Tuesday September 5th, 2006 12:35:45 AM
Rigging and the Wildcards travel as quickly through the jungle as they can, trying to catch up with Mykael and the kidnappers. Nezamil's spell makes life much more bearable for some, but the wildlife still makes the trip less than a walk in the park. Rigging makes contact with Swirl who is still very much terrified of snakes (spell lasts 10 minutes...roughly 20 rounds or 2 minutes have passed).
From his bird's eye position, Cosmo sees nothing interesting, but then again, it's pretty hard to see many details when you're 120 feet above the battle.
Mykael scoots through the forest, wary of traps, but wanting to catch up to the bad guys before they have a chance to do anything with the hostages. It doesn't take long. As he moves forward, he catches sight of two of the Yuan Ti purebloods moving toward him. They no longer carry sacks and they have scimitars at the ready. He can also hear movement behind them. And then...more surprises. There is a crashing noise in the nearby bushes, and three Yuan Ti purebloods suddenly wriggle into being about 10 feet away from Mykael (Strange that...Mykael is positive there was nothing there just a few minutes ago..). Scimitars in hand, the trio converges on Mykael, though they don't attack. Due to the thick undergrowth, none of the Wildcards with the exception of Cosmo and Swirl spot Mykael's predicament as of yet, though there is definitely a lot of noise going on up front.

Aware of Mykael's plight, the Wildcards get moving. But the jungle is indeed hampering. Still, Appolo and the fleet footed Ashira now have sight of him and his attackers....and it doesn't look good. Already surrounded on three fronts, things go from bad to worse as four more purebloods from the north come down to join the party (interesting...no sacks). In striking range, the three first purebloods attack their surrounded enemy, but all of the attacks ping harmlessly off his armor.
Appolo knows that next round he and Ashira will be able to close with the snake men while it will take the other Wildcards another round if they so choose. As he takes a look around, Appolo is sure he spotted some movement to the right of his current position. Whatever it was, it was small.

Mykael cast fireball encompassing area almost centered on himself, aiming to get all the Yuan Ti that he can see, hear, or knows about.
(made Spell Failure = 64%) (Fireball = 21 damage) (Reflex save vs DC: 17, for half)
(Mykael's Reflex save = 19, thus 11 damage, as added in already)
"Did that light the way for you all enough back there?!? Lets MOVE!" Mykael yells back to the group.
Ghem? Many have appeared suddenly. I dont see any of the kidnapped people. Please get to looking for more. This group led us away from the real group most likely.

Backed into a corner with nowhere to go, Mykael makes a gutsy move. Drawing several attacks of opportunity from the foes surrounding him, Mykael steels himself to fire off his deadly spell...and the purebloods respond in kind by taking their attacks of opportunity on the mage. Fortunately, only two of the beasts are able to penetrate Mykael's armor doing a minimal amount of damage (12 pts. total damage). (DM note: normally if you take damage while trying to cast a spell you need to make a concentration check DC 10+ damage taken + spell level. I'll let it slide this round.) There is a flash and then the searing waves wash over Mykael and the Yuan Ti. Even though he's able to side step most of the flames, the smell of burning flesh fills the air as Mykael's hair and eyebrows are burned from his flesh. The Yuan Ti, curiously weather the flames far better. Several of them look to be completely unharmed (PB3, 4, 9 &10). The others (PB8, 11 &12) duck out of the way of the flames and look only mildly annoyed at the attack. (OOC: Please roll spell resistance checks for each opponent next time)
Mykael can feel the struggle going on inside of his familiar. "Boss, be careful out there..those icky snakes are everywhere...big ones, small ones...on the ground, in the trees...everywhere....everywhere!!" Still, Ghem screws up enough strength to take a look around. "There are some bags lying on the ground behind those snake thingies that have you surrounded. Is that what you're looking for? And past the bags are some more snake thingies...three of them."
The cavalry arrives in force. Deciding to turn the tables, Nezamil activates his boots and bolts toward the fray. (OOC: I'm sorry, I misspoke about the Freedom of Movement... it will not increase your movement in the jungle, but does help with Entangle spells. Spoke with Chris and he decided to change his move. He wished to take a 20 foot move to H33.) Val and Ashira likewise make double moves and ready themselves for some butt kicking next round. Not one for the up close and personal stuff, Rigging fires off a spell for reinforcements (please post for apes next round and remember, Rigging cannot see the battle, so he will have to place his apes by approximation.). Meanwhile, Appolo guestimates the Yuan Ti's tactics and makes some suggestions of his own.
The snakemen hiss at one another. One of the creatures springs toward Mykael and wraps his arms around him (touch attack AC19) and makes a grab for him (Grapple=16 Mykael's opposed check is 10+ his base attack+ strength) but can't quite get ahold. Two of the other purebloods follow suit, but can't even reach out and touch Mykael (touch= nat. 1's). The other three decide to play it safe and stick with using their scimitars. One Yuan Ti makes what would have been a devastating attack...if those pesky vines hadn't been hanging in his eyes and obscuring his vision (Miss=2). The other two just find it flat out impossible to get past the elf's armor.
As the battle rages, a new player emerges. The bushes wiggle and shake nearby and what should pop up, but a big ol Halfbreed (HB1) with large black diamonds running down his scaly hide. The creature pulls out a bow and takes in the battle.
Jungle properties... Only ½ movement allowed while in the jungle. (So for most a normal movement is 15 feet...a "double move" would be 30 feet) No running or charging or the like...though double movement will be allowed.

(Apes)Rigging summons his two fiendish apes and has them attack the halfbreed. They appear at N29 and N30 Ape 1 misses with his attacks but Ape 2 has more success hitting 2 times with his claws doing 19 points of damage (made miss chances.
Rigging smiles as he sees the attack and decides that half blood should be kept busy for a while. He checks on his crew and yells, "Cosmo get into the fight!"
Rigging will move forward to I30 using a double move. He will look around closely as moves expecting more ambushes. (rolled another natural 20 on spot check. This is getting freaky)
Swirl will gain some altitude both to get away from the snakes and to help keep an eye on things. (spot check 10)

Mykeal switches tactics and tries to take down the pureblood in front of him. His first strike goes short, but the second strike hammers home drawing a good deal of blood. Unfortunately, the pureblood blocking his way is still very much alive. And so are most of the other purebloods who are encompassing him. They strike out at the warrior, intent on bringing down their prey, but Warrd does not seem to be with them. Two of the attacks gets through (AC27 for 9, AC29 for 5) and Mykael is definitely looking quite a bit worse for the wear.
Ghem flits around, trying desperately to follow his masters order without getting too near those horrifying snakes. I don't see any humans...not anywhere. Just snakes, those snakemen and some bags on the ground. Even Rigging's sharp eyes don't catch sight of any other enemies for the time being.
Seeing their friend in dire straights, the Wildcards move into position. Bart, Rigging and Appolo surge forward, ready to kick some serious tail next round.
With his sneaky plan falling in place, Nezamil moves forward and pulverizes his opponent, leaving only a bloody mangled skeleton collapsed on the ground before him.
Ashira has much worse luck merely scratching the Yuan Ti in front of her.
Rigging's apes appear and begin doing what they do best...bite and scratch. Unfortunately, their attacks are repelled by the creature's armor and tough hide. Ignoring the pesky creatures for now, the ugly snake monster slithers forward five feet and quickly fires off three glowing arrows at Val. Two of them strike home, punching through Val's armor and cutting deep into the muscle beneath (AC35 for 12, AC29/23 crit. for 28, total damage 40).
Cosmo makes a search for any further hostiles, but he just can't locate any. He does, however find a nice landing spot nearby that is far enough away from the Yuan Ti and the abundant jungle snakes for the likings of his gryphon.
Jungle properties... Only ½ movement allowed while in the jungle. (So for most a normal movement is 15 feet...a "double move" would be 30 feet) No running or charging or the like...though double movement will be allowed.
The maximum visual range in the Jungle is 30 feet.

At 40 feet distance the miss chance increases to 40%
At 50 feet distance the miss chance increase to 70%
Range spells and weapons can not target beyond 50 feet

Ape number 1 trys to pin the halfblood with his first attack. Rolled another grapple check and got a 28. Taking the 10 rule, I am assuming he is pinned. He then tries to attack the snake man with his other attacks but fails.
Ape number 2 also sitting on the snakes legs just attacks. Since the first ape pinned the Yuan-ti its ac goes down by 4. Even with the added advantage the ape misses with all of his attacks.

Slaughter and Reinforcements----ADM Nellie d100=15 d100=32 d100=39 d100=54 5d6(3+6+3+4+3)=19 Monday September 11th, 2006 12:19:57 AM DM Note: Rigging has had his apes initiate a grapple on the Halfblood (HB1) who was attacking Val. The grapple was a success, so the Yuan Ti was not able to perform his attack. Val you should add back the 40 Hp from last round.
Arriving on the scene after being hampered by the jungle, the Wildcards snap into action to try and save their friend.
Val easily closes with that stupid Halfblood that was pointing the bow at her before the apes grabbed a hold of it. It's not too much of a challenge for her to hit the mostly stationary target, but at least it looks like she's found a worthy opponent. She can see the flicker of fear in his unblinking eyes as she brings up the axe to strike. With a bright flash, the axe cuts cleanly through the snakeman's side, causing blood to flow freely. Still, it looks to be in good fighting shape.
Nezamil steps forward and finishes up the pureblood that dares to stand before him. Crunch, crunch, snap. It's head hanging at a sickening angle on its shoulders, the creature falls to the ground lifeless.
Moving in place to help out, Rigging cuts at the pureblood in front of Ashira. It hisses in anger that it never has a chance to vent. In place, Bart rains death and destruction. He kills the Yuan Ti in front of him (PB12) with one well placed blow. Stepping forward he slashes at the pureblood paired against Ashira (PB9) and hack into the thing with two very powerful slices. Blood oozes out of its deep wounds, and the creature looks like it is near death's doorstep. Then in comes Ashira with the death blows. Scratch another one.
Appolo takes a step forward but finds no one to engage.
Wanting to get a quick heal, Mykael readies himself to tap some of the lifesource of the nearest Yuan Ti. Unfortunately, there are none alive that are nearby. So Mykael settles for moving out of the combat (moved you to H31 with 4 Hp, let me know if you want something else).
Cosmo continues to fly recon, as of yet not landing or attacking.
Ghem reports to Mykael that the four snake things in the jungle are moving toward the bags laying on the ground.
Meanwhile, Rigging's apes tighten their grip on the halfblood (Hb1). It ain't going anywhere any time soon. (DM note: When an opponent has pinned you, you are held immobile (but not helpless) for 1 round. While you¹re pinned, you take a -4 penalty to your AC against opponents other than the one pinning you. Treat your Dexterity as 0 (-5 modifier). I do not see in the description where a pinned creature is prone. Looking annoyed, the creature concentrates for a moment, and a thin layer of acid forms around his body, burning the apes that are holding him (19 damage).
Seeing the arrival of the heavy hitters, it looks like the back lines of Yuan Ti (PB 3,4,8) have had enough. They backpeddle quickly back into the forest from whence they came...the same direction that Ghem indicated that the sacks were laying.
In the meantime, there is more movement from the nearby bushes. Four more half-bloods appear in the jungle nearby the first half-blood. Scimitars in hand, they close in with Val and the apes, a hungry look in their eyes.
Please remember to roll your own d100 for the 10% chance of missing in the jungle.

"I'm going to turn you into a new pair of boots." Val said with an excited grin. Now that it was 3 on 1 perhaps she would be properly challenged. She adjusted her grip on the handle and brought the enchanted axe down upon the snake man (HB1) in three quick strikes.

Determined to save the hostages, Mykael presses forward in spite of his life threatening injuries. (OOC: Rerolled the healing for you. House rules says you reroll 1's. Add one more hit point to your total.)
Making full use of her tactical advantage over the Halfblood, Val lights into him with the magical axe. There are two more burst of magical energy (third strike misses) and the pinned halfblood droops. It looks angrily at the apes holding it still, and it hisses something to its newly arrived brethren.
Nezamil looks up again to see that the pureblood he intended to attack has moved on. He moves forward chasing after Mykael. (Chris, if this isn't what you wanted to do, just let me know next post).
Rigging's apes move away from the painful halfblood they have a hold of and move on to less promising targets. They grab onto the new arrivals and put the big squeeze on them.
Meanwhile, Rigging gives the group a little boost by firing off his spell. (Move rate is now 30 feet standard and 60 feet double move for most).
Taking advantage of the newly cast magic, Ashira takes a stab at one of the new arrivals around Val. The magic tipping the attack in her favor, Ashira is rewarded by watching a ribbon of blood form down the creature's back.
Bart and Appolo take a short break after all their hard work killing Yuan Ti.
The former rear guard (PB3, 4, 8) continue to fall back as Mykael watches them fade into the jungle. Then he and Nezamil hear a shouting. "Kill the hostages before the meatsacks can get here."
Mykael receives another message from Ghem. Lookout, those snakey things are headed right for you.
Cosmo moves in and lands, taking a good look at the battlefield but seeing nothing extraordinary right now. His mount paws the ground nervously and absolutely refuses to go anywhere near any of the living or dead Yuan Ti.
The grappled halfbloods (HB4 &5) follow their brother in arm's tactics and are soon covered in a layer of acid which burns at the apes skin. (17 damage to ape 1, 18 to ape2). Unable to take the damage, the apes return to their natural plane.
Finally free of the encumbering apes, the diamond backed halfblood (HB1) moves very quickly away from Val and back toward the enemy lines (drawing an AoO from Val and Ashira...rolled for Ashira, she missed). With a quick hissing, it casts a spell and many of its wounds heal up. Then, rising out of the jungle, Ashira spots the sudden arrival of an abomination (AB3). Mykeal and Nezamil also take note of the arrival of an Abomination nearby them (AB1). Please note that only Mykael and Nezamil are aware of the current location of AB1.
Things heat up a tad nearby Ashira and Val. An ugly smile on it's lipless face, a cobra hooded halfblood (HB2) plunges its scimitar into Val's back (AC32/27 for 10) but misses with its second attack. It's partner (HB3) has a harder go of it and just can't tag the pesky elf.

As HB1 slithers away into the dense jungle Val takes a chunk out of its back as a price for its cowardice. (AoO power attack -10/+10, hit ac 31 for 24 and 6 bane). She flinched briefly from the scimitar slicing into it but the barbarian only gave that half blood a brief glance. She turned to HB3 and raised the golden axe.
"I hope your tougher than that diamond scaled coward that ran away." She said with a grin and brought the axe down upon the snake man several times.

Rigging moves up to J23 using his haste and murmers, "Not so fast buddy." He casts a spell and a scorching rays fly from his fingers. Both hit the fleeing HB1 (hit touch ac 17 and 20, made miss rolls of 45 and 67. Made spell resistance of 17.) They independently do 16 adn 10 points of damage for a total of 26. No saving throw allowed.

Chasing after wounded Mykael... Nezamil keeps pace and reaches into a pouch as he moves.....fishing out a vial he uses his long reach (15')and tries to hand it to Mykael " this should help heal ya " growls the Cleric of Domi "
"i'll take on our new visitor " as he points to Ab1 " once your healed up you can flank it......teamwork "adds Nezamil
Nezamil aggressivily moves towards the snakeman(ab1) but maintains his reach advantage (square E-23) (Diagonals: When measuring distance, the first diagonal counts as 1 square, the second counts as 2 squares, the third counts as 1, the fourth as 2, and so on.) As the abomination comes within the 10'2" dwarfs long reach(15') he lashes out with his mace(d20+16=27 1st swing)(only swing since he made a 20'move action) and it finds it's mark (2d6(3+1)+6=10 dam)as it thuds into the snakeman
"C'mon ya cowardly worm....you'll make a fine set of boots " taunts Nezamil as he tries to hold it's attention away from Mykael
Nezamil keeps the snakeman at arms length(15') as he looks for an opening to smash the beast

Mykael smiles through gritted teeth at the giant dwarf and accepts the potion. "Thanks, more are on the way. Towards us, and I am not sure if there are even hostages in those sacks, I think this was all a trick to draw us in and allow another group to possibly escape with hostages. Most likely, those sacks had other Yuan-Ti in them, thus concealling thier overall numbers. And now they scream in Common to kill the hostages? Why would they do that? But we still have to be sure and do all that we can until we know for sure."
Mykael sucks down the healing potion from Nezamil. (Chris, you didnt specific what type it was. Please advise.)
Mykael then moves forward to E23, base move.
Thanks for the warning Ghem. Can you tell what is in the sacks? Please go and look if there are any humans there and let me know what is happening. And how far away they are. And how many snakemen are between me and them.

Cosmo (AC 19; HP 53/57); Griffon (AC 17; HP 59/59) Tuesday September 12th, 2006 10:11:48 PM
Cosmo urges his mount to move forward, but is unsuccessful in overcoming the creatures fear of the snake creatures.
He hesitates in getting off the creature as it is his only way of moving around quickly.
Cosmo looks around to see if any enemies are approaching his position.

Ashira looks over at the battlefield. Spotting the halfbloods on the right, Ashira moves in, determined not to get surrounded. Taking a 5 foot step, Ashira cuts and stabs at the beast, taking it down a notch or two (AC20 for 8, AC29 for 6, AC28 for 12).

Appolo gets down to his grisly business and promptly stabs the halfblood that has worked its way to him. But it's not enough to bring the creature down. (Appolo, you may not backstab unless you are flanking. Please look at the diagram on PHB 152 for examples of flanking)
Val takes a huge chunk out of the fleeing halfblood (HB1) but it keeps on going. She turns her focus onto the new challenger and brings the axe down again and again on its scaly body. Coughing a bloody froth, the creature's limp dead body collapses on Val, smearing her armor with blood.
Angered at the spinelessness of the diamond backed halfblood (HB1), Rigging fires off two very well placed rays. They rip through the jungle and straight toward the coward's back. Strangely, though they seem to just disappear as they connect with the Yuan Ti (Spell Resistance not met). Swirl heads away from the undergrowth but doesn't see anything too exciting.
Bart heads off toward the retreating purebloods, knowing that Mykael will be headed that way soon. (OOC: William, are you getting the maps??)
Nezamil moves in and takes a bite, so to speak, out of the newly arrived abomination (AB1). His crushing blow definitely connects, but the abomination looks to be in tip top fighting condition.
Cosmo looks around the battlefield, but doesn't see anybody other than the Yuan Ti the others are already engaged with.
Ashira moves forward a little and cuts open the halfblood to her right (HB4). It's not dead yet, but it sure doesn't look amused either.
Mykael muses whether the bags even contain hostages...whether this whole thing has been a ruse. Still, only one way to find out. Mykael moves forward to a position near Nezamil and downs his healing potion. Feeling much better, Mykael asks Ghem to scout out the bags to check on his suspicions. Mykael can almost feel the little dragon's mind numbing terror. No way!! Those things are right next to the bags. I'm not going anywhere near them!! But the bags seem to be moving a little. It shouldn't take you long to get to the bags, but be careful, because those other horrible snake things will make it to you soon.
Mykael's suspicions are soon put to rest as female screaming is heard over the din of battle. Ghem chimes in. They stuck one of their sharp pointy things into the bag. There's blood coming out.
Spotting the arrival of Bart, the purebloods nearest the sacks (PB3, 4, 8) stall. Scimitars in hand, they glare at Bart. "Come any further and we kill the cows!" they hiss at the fighter. Bart can confirm that the bags do indeed seem to be wiggling, and that there is a large amount of blood flowing out of one of the bags...as well as a low moaning. Bart also sees several unwounded purebloods
The diamond backed halfblood stops long enough to allow the abomination to touch him. As more of his wounds heal, the Yuan Ti makes good his escape back into the jungle.
Two purebloods (PB5&6) note the arrival of Mykael and Nezamil and fire off a couple of arrows, but they bounce harmlessly off their armor.
Seeing a brother in need, one half breed (HB5)shifts over to flank with his dying companion (HB2). He waves his sword at Val but can't damage her. Likewise, the snakeman confronting Ashira (HB4) has poor luck as well.
The abomination on the right side of the battlefield (AB3) stays were it's at. Its cousin (AB1) definitely doesn't like where its at, and it takes a 5 foot step out of Nezamil's reach. Then it fires off a spell aimed at the massive dwarf. (Fort. DC18 or become infected with Blinding sickness and lose 1d 4Str. If you fail your save, roll another Fort save DC16 or be blinded).

"By the time I'm through here I'll have a dozen pair of boots." Val says with a grin. She's waiting for the right moment to unleash her anger and really show these snakemen what they have gotten themselves into. The golden axe comes in low, stopping just after the snakeman's body and coming up with a viscious backhanded swipe.

Smiling at the snakeman(ab1) as he steps back " where ya going ?? gonna slink away ??" taunts Nezamil

Stepping towards the spellcasting snake (5'ft move)"i've got something for ya.....just hold still for a sec" laughs Nezamil
The Cleric of Domi swiftly attacks the spellcasting snakeman(ab1)...his hugh mace pounding the snakeman with 3 crushing blows(1st swing d20+16=27)(2d6(3+3)+6=12 dam)(2nd swing d20+11=30)(2d6(3+6)+6=15 dam)(3rd swing hasted d20+16=29)(2d6(2+1)+6=9 dam)(total dam =36!!)

Val turns her attention to the new player (HB5) and quickly cuts it to ribbons. Ho hum. No challenge here. The warrior can only hope that somewhere out there there's a challenger worthy of her skills.
Having no problems shrugging off the spell aim his way, Nezamil closes the distance and puts his reach to good use. All of his blows connect, but he is unable to fell the foul beast.
Appolo turns on the nearest Yuan Ti and quickly stabs him in the lung. The creature collapses on the ground thrashing in the violent throws of death.
Always willing to help out on the front lines, Rigging moves in and easily takes down Ashira's halfblood (HB4). Swirl tries to move in, but just can't overcome his phobia of snakes and so hangs back a bit. (George, Swirl must stay at least 20 feet away from any Yuan Ti or snake until the spell wears off. Spell lasts 10 minutes).
Trying desperately to save the lives of the hostages, Mykael weaves a spell, willing the enemy to be stuck in place. But as hard as he tries, he feels the magic being sucked away. The web appears around the enemy, but in his heart, Mykael knows it won't last long. (Can't apply Combat Casting unless you're on the defensive. Concen. Failed. Hero point used, gives another 11---failure. Web will last for 2 rounds and then disappear. Sorry. :( ) All of the purebloods manage to escape getting caught in the web (as well as the halfblood HB1), but the abomination (AB3) hisses angrily as the sticky strands glue it firmly in place.
Cosmo tries to maneuver himself and his mount to a better place on the battlefield, but it's difficult with the gryphon being not only terrified of the live Yuan Ti, but also the dead. (OOC: Matt, you've got to take the dead PB10 into consideration too. I put you at D27, which according to my calculations is the closest you can get right now considering a move rate of 30 feet. Unfortunately, it's not within 30 feet of AB1. Let me know if I missed anything)
Bart moves forward to kill the purebloods that are threatening the hostages. Sadly, Mykael's web is between himself and them (20 feet of web provides total cover). The closest enemies are the newly arrived purebloods (PB5 &6) and the abomination that Nezamil is engaged with. Bart moves over toward the purebloods (F19) in anticipation of cutting them down to size next round (William, just let me know if this isn't where you wanted to be placed.)
There is a good deal of noise coming out of the webbed area...hissing and thrashing. Doesn't sound like the Yuan Ti are too happy being entangled in the giant spider web. But then, the gut wrenching sounds of a woman's scream, followed shortly by painful moaning.
Looking very daunted by the idea of having that menacing meatsack (Bart) approaching, the two unwebbed purebloods (PB5&6) retreat.
The abomination paired up with Nezamil looks a little less smug as he spots Bart turning the corner. (OOC: I made an error last round. The abomination should have been in touch range of Nezamil. Have adjusted for this round). Moving his fingers, he begins to cast a spell (Casting defensively (PHB pg. 140) made check. No AoO from Nezamil for casting the spell). Nezamil feels the urge to lay down on the ground (Will DC16 or lay prone on the ground for 1 round). Then the abomination tucks tail and tries to put a good distance between himself and the Wildcards. (If Nezamil passes his save he gets an AoO on the Yuan Ti)
William, what's your email address?

As the abomination tries to run like the coward it is, Nezamil gives a quick bash which unfortunately is deflected by a palm branch (Miss=8...Chris, please roll a d100 per attack for the 10% miss). That's ok though, because he steps back in range and drops the hammer so to speak on the abomination. His first blow thuds against the scaly head of the thing. Missing with his second blow, Nezamil recalibrates his aim and places a expertly aimed third shot. Sadly, his mace catches on a vine pulling off mark (Miss=3)
Rigging scoots over to the edge of the webbed area and calls for a regroup. As he moves to the side he catches sight of one of the abominations caught in the webbed area (AB3). It looks to be highly agitated and is not thrilled by the arrival of Rigging. Rigging moves over to the side of the web where he knows he can attack next round if he wishes (OOC: assumed you'd like to close since you can see him. Let me know if that's not what you want).
Appolo forms up with Rigging he scoots around to the edge of the web but can't close with the Yuan Ti just yet. Val is frustrated with the web that has sprung up between her and her victims...er opponents. (Walter, I'm going to assume that you form up with Rigging after he orders it. If that is not what you want, just let me know). Hearing Rigging's order, Val heads over to where he is...and then spots the abomination and moves over to teach the snake a painful lesson next round.
Bart moves against the closest pureblood (PB6) and slices it. Ever the agile one, Bart dashes back out of the creature's range before it can think about retribution.
His phobic mount slowing him down a bit, Cosmo continues to move forward toward the battle. Ooooo....looky looky there's a big ol Abomination over there that Nezamil's fighting (Cosmo's within 30 feet of the abomination and can now see him). Aversion does not apply if you cannot see them. :)
Knowing full well that any moment now that web is going to disappear, Mykael urges his comrades to focus on the hostages. That is, after all, what everyone is here for isn't it?
Ashira moves in for the kill, making sure not to get in the way of Nezamil's huge arms. She can't strike yet, but it's just a matter of time. The abomination (AB1) seems to sense it. His unblinking eyes cast around the battle field...there's that huge grotesque thing that's been chasing him, and now that faster than normal grey freak cow with the blue hair. His cold calculating eyes shift over to the purebloods that he spots behind him. There could be safety there...if it wasn't for that big hulking flesh bag with the huge sword. Looking resigned, the huge snake creature make a hasty retreat, knowing that he can't stay here but that he can't possibly outrun his pursuers (Drawing AoO's from Nezamil and Ashira). It hisses out an order in it's strange snake language as it cowers behind the purebloods.
Knowing their place, the purebloods take a 5 foot step backward and wait...wait for death. Death in his strange metal wrapping and huge sword covered in the blood of their cousins.
In the web More hissing and thrashing..but no more screaming. And then action. The abomination (AB3) whom Rigging, Val, and Appolo can now see breaks free from the web and begins to retreat (drawing an AoO from Rigging).
Further in the jungle Faint hissing. Ghem senses that there are three snakemen out in front of the Wildcards. One is a new arrival and the other two are retreaters.
Please remember to roll a d100 for each attack that you make 1-10 fails, everything else succeeds. Thanks!!---Nellie

Rigging sees the Abomination fly out of the web and quickly strikes out with his dagger for his AOO. He is gratified to see the dagger sink deep into the evil creatures flank.
(ooc hit ac 32 with a natural 20. Rolled critical check and hit ac 29. Assuming I was successful. Damage is 23 points of damage
Rigging then chases after the abomination, his blood up after hearing the death crys fo the pregnant villagers. He cries to Appolo and Val to follow and hurries ahead following the path.
If possible Rigging will close and dart to the right to give his comrades easier access to the Abomination since he really doesn't want to fight it alone.
He stabs it with his short sword of spellstoring, letting the shocking grasp spell stored there go off. spell resistance roll of 22. Hit ac 28 for 27 points of damage
Miss chance for the AOO is 37, and regular attack is 50.
If Rigging can't close enough to attack, he will stop 15' away and cast a magic missile spell at the abomination doing 12 points of damage. Use the same spell resistance roll.

Cosmo moves forward on his Griffon towards the retreating Abomination. As he moves he retrieves his Maximize rod from his handy backpack. He gets about 30 or so feet away and lets loose a maximized Scorching Ray spell. Two fiery rays shoot out from his finger tips and blast into the abomination. He grins in excitement as the foul creature burns.

The ranger grins at Domi's chosen. "Not like I'm going to let you have all the fun. Besides...I put a small wager on my own skills, and I can't afford to lose any coin right now." Winking, Ashira heads after the fleeing abomination. She calls to the "dwarf" over her shoulder. "Still, even I can use a flanking partner, so hurry up and move those tree trunk legs of yours!" Zipping past Cosmo and Nezamil, the hasted ranger easily catches up with the abomination and eagerly cuts into him (AC21 for 8).

Rigging leads the hunt for the abomination into the jungle. Vindictively spearing the evil creature in the back, Rigging is rewarded with a blood trail that is easy for even a mage to follow. Keeping up his pursuit, Rigging finds he can't make it far enough to strike with his sword and launches his magic missiles. Unfortunately the spell fizzles (Spell Resistance not met).
Mykael, worried about the hostages grows weary of waiting and bravely wades into the web. He hunts for the purebloods and hostages...ah...there they are, about 15 feet in front of him. Four bags laying on the jungle floor, two of which have large pools of blood around them (marked in orange). Oh yeah, and a whole host of purebloods around them.
Nezamil makes good use of his attack of opportunity and then follows in hot pursuit.
Appolo makes a double move and sticks by Rigging, ready to do in the nearest baddy that wanders his way.
Val takes a different tactic, holding her ground until the prey comes to her. She has a strange feeling in her gut that the web won't last forever.
Bart steps forward, very much death in human form. Having to move more than 5 feet, he steps forward and cuts deeply at he pureblood in front of him (PB6) but can't take him down just quite yet. All in good time...all in good time.
Cosmo scoots past Ashira and prepares to make his presence known. He fires off his spell which amazingly misses Nezamil who is right in front of him (please remember in the future to apply a -4 penalty when friendlies are in the line of fire). He can't get an accurate bead on the abomination. Instead, his rays rip into the pureblood that is shielding him (PB5). The creature writhes and screams in horror as his flesh in burned from his skeleton. The attack does not quite kill him, but it won't be long.
In the web As if on cue, the web that has held the purebloods in place...and also hidden them and their actions from the Wildcard dissipates. The Yuan Ti look around, surprised and perhaps relieved. Now all can see the four sacks on the battle field, two of which have large pools of blood under them. Looking very unsure of themselves, considering the closeness of death in their male and female forms (Bart and Val), the purebloods make a hasty retreat back into the jungle. (Spot DC25 from Ashira, Nezamil, or Bart to notice something very odd about their movements).
Ever the elusive one, the Rigging's abomination continues his flight from his pursuers. But it matters little, since Rigging and Appolo can clearly see where he and his buddies are huddling in the jungle.
Meanwhile, over by Bart, Ashira and Nezamil, the pursuit continues. The abomination continues to flee into the jungle, drawing AoO's from Ashira and Nezamil. The purebloods in front of him watch bitterly as death darts back and forth, promising an honorable death and then coming just shy. One pureblood (PB5) does his best to extract some revenge on the blue cow, but his brush with the rays of the short one saps his strength and his effort is futile. The other (PB6) decides to go down with honor. Stepping forward to face death like a true warrior, the Yuan Ti tries valiantly to slow the human death bringer (Bart) down, but can't even cut through his metal wrapping.
There is much hissing in the jungle and Ghem reports that another snakething has appeared further back in the jungle.

Nezamil's long reach comes into play again as the evasive snakeman(ab1)continues to try and dodge death.....the big mace sweeps in for a strike (d20+16=27 AoO)(2d6(1+6)+6=13dam) bashing the worse for wear looking abomination(ab1)
Deciding whether to chase after the evasive snakeman Nezamil surveys his surroundings (d20+6=8 spot ch)but nothing catches his eye

Rigging smiles as he sees his bunched prey and casts a Evard's black tenacles spell. He centers it on J8 and tenacles come up and successfully grab all 4 of the YT's in the radius of the spell.
AB1 grapple check of 31 AB3 grapple check of 30 PB3 grapple check of 28 PB7 grapple check of 31
Taking 10 from the numbers in the MM they are all grappled.
Rolled concentration check for evards and made it with a natural 20. Made all other concentration checks except protection from arrows which I lost.
Evards has a raduis of 20, no saving throw and no spell resistance. Not sure if they need to be the rolls I made to break grapple or a take 10 +16 for my modifiers. Then they need a 27 to break free.

Ashira looks over at the huge mound of tentacles that have just popped up in front of her. Hmmmmm...I'm not wading into that mess. She decides that for the time being she'll just focus on clean up. She launches a full attack, managing to slice and spear the pureblood in front of her twice (for 20 total).

Appolo moves in, ready to kill. As soon as he begins to move, he feels the uncanny tingle of magic attempting to invade his body, as does Rigging. (Both must make a reflex save DC 18 or take 13 pts. damage. Save for half)
Val on the other hand, guards the sacks making sure the hostages are protected. It's getting old chasing all those Yuan Ti through the jungle.
Nezamil smakes the retreating abomination knowing that every little bit helps. Then he moves over to tend to the wounded. A bloodied female hand hangs out of the nearest bag, and Nezamil reaches over and taps it with the wand. Limp, the hand slowly begins to move, though it is clear than the woman inside will require at least one more round of healing before she is capable of any kind of independent action. There are some very low moans coming out of the other nearby bags. Mykael moves up beside the big guy and tends to the other bleeding sack. He's able to stabilize the woman, but it's clear that she needs a cure spell promptly.
Ashira gets a parting shot in on the pureblood by her before it keels over very much dead. The critical hit makes sure it'll never every breath again. Likewise, Bart quickly dispatches the other remaining pureblood and looks around for another target. Unfortunately, a mass of black grasping tentacles seems to be grappling all the Yuan Ti in his sight right now.
Rigging grins...ahhh...now the trap is sprung indeed! He fires off his spell and gets more than he hoped for...for there is a cacophony of hissing screams coming from the area where the tentacles are. But unfortunately, Appolo is in there too. Still, Rigging doesn't get to savor his victory for long. There is a hissing sound off in the jungle, and almost as quickly as they appear, the tentacles disappear (Dispel magic, check=22).
Looking more than a little peeved, the newly freed Yuan Ti move into action. Two purebloods move forward (5 feet), sheath their scimitars and unsheathe their bows. They quickly fire off a couple of arrows at Bart, but both of them ping uselessly against his armor. Shortly thereafter, an abomination (AB2) steps forward and points his finger at Nezamil. Suddenly, the area around Nezamil is awash in horrible ear splitting noise. (Nezamil, Bart, and Mykael take 5 points of sonic damage, make a Fort save. DC17 or be stunned for 1 round). The two women previously tended by Mykael and Nezamil cover their ears in pain and fall to the ground. It's clear that most of the healing the pair just did has now been all but undone (both of them are unconscious and in the process of dying).
Nezamil's old buddy (AB3) fires off a spell, aiming it at Ashira. Ashira feels the tingle of magic. (Blindness, Fort. Save DC18 or become blind). After casting his spell, the abomination slinks further off into the jungle.
Rigging recognizes the diamond backed halfblood that he tangled with previously. It steps forward (5 feet) and takes aim at Rigging. Firing four times, he places three arrows skillfully in Rigging's chest (33% AC 41 for 16, 42% AC28 for 14, 90% AC22 for 15. Total damage 45) The abomination (AB3) snaps into action as well, pointing his finger toward Rigging. There is a burst of noise around Rigging, Appolo, and one of the purebloods (PB7). (All take 6 hp of sonic damage, Fort. Save DC17 or be stunned for 1 round). The pureblood (PB7) shakes his head (Fort. Save passed with 20) and looks over at Appolo. Lashing out with scimitar, he tags the willy rogue once(AC25 for 7). His partner (PB2) also lashes out at Appolo swings twice, but can't even touch him. Another pureblood (PB8) moves over a little (5 feet) and sheathes his scimitar and pulls out his bow. He takes aim at Appolo, but can't quite hit him.
Please remember the 10% miss chance in the jungle.

Mykael sighs and shakes off the sonic attack, he notices the dire situation of the female that he just stabalized and does so once again (Healing = 11).

Hearing the sound of battle once more Val moves toward that sound as fast as possible, running blindly through the brush at times.

Cosmo moves forward slightly (cell F16). The battlefield becomes a little clearer to him from this position. The Yuan Ti and this infernal jungle are starting to get on his nerves. He picks a spell in his repertoire that will hopefully reduce the snake creatures to a more manageable number.
Using his Maximize rod he launches a fireball at the Yuan Ti. He tries his best not to include Appollo in the blast radius, along with PB7.

Rigging ac 20 hps13/77 d20+11=31 d20+6=24 Thursday September 21st, 2006 10:32:05 PM
Rigging is attacked from all different directions. He makes his reflex save (Does evasion apply?)and then is staggered with 3 very solid arrows hits to the chest. He then is holding his ears with the sonic attack. (Made fort save of 24)
He looks over at Appolo and then back down at his chest. "Ahh Appolo, I think now is time for a strategic retreat. Fall back and rejoin with Val. Time for the fighters to earn their pay."
Rigging then activates his blink ring and heads straight south as fast as his feat will carry him. (Not sure if I move 30 or 45' so I will let you place Rigging either p14 or p17)

Ashira shrugs off the spell with little thought. She heads over to engage the abomination (AB3, G13). "I don't think so ugly!!" she taunts as she takes a swipe at him. She blushes as her swing goes way wide.

Bart takes some dammage from the sonic wave, but he can stand it for now. He goes forward to the abonimation (AB3), and attacks it (spring attack ac 29 for 15+5 shock)

Mykael keeps up the good work, tending to both of the wounded hostages and stabilizing them once more.
Val dashes through the jungle, bent on death and destruction. (Double move to K11) As she nears her destination, Val feels that curious tingling of magic trying to manipulate her body. (Blindness, Fort. Save DC18 or become blind)
Appolo blows off the first spell aimed at him, but succumbs to the sound attack thrown at him. (Rolled Fort. Save of 15 for you). Clapping his hands over his ears, he stands frozen in place, planning his next attack once he figures out which way is up. Likewise, Nezamil is also discombobulated by the other abomination's attack. Since they are stunned, both Nezamil and Appolo drop whatever were in their hands, weapons, shields, the like. You also have a -2 penalty to AC and lose your Dex. Bonus. Another note...it takes a move action to pick up something off the ground (draws an AoO), so no full attacks next round).
Cosmo is tired of sitting and waiting, and so he moves forward and lets loose with a whooper of a spell. It's really, really hard to aim considering from his current position he can't see the Yuan Ti anymore. (OOC Matt, I'm going to give you the fire ball this round, but remember, you can't see past 30 feet, so hitting with any accuracy is going to be next to impossible next time) He does his best and is pleased to hear the sound of any explosion in the surrounding jungle. Bart, Ashira and the others on the front line one of the purebloods in the front row burst into flames and die a horrible death (PB3). The other two purebloods (PB4 & 8) do not seem to be harmed by the fire whatsoever. And the last pureblood on the field (PB2) ducks the majority of the flames, though he does look badly damaged.
The abominations fair quite a bit better. The flames wash over Ashira and Bart's opponent (AB2) with apparently no effect. The abomination by Appolo dodges out of the way of most of the damage. Though there is a scream further in the jungle that indicates that more than likely another Yuan Ti was badly burned by the spell.
The diamond backed halfblood watches calmly as the flames engulf him, with a serene look. The flames do not seem to bother him in the least.
Rigging activates his ring and once again feels that strange magical tugging. Slowly he is drawn back toward the magical pyramid (P13, 30 foot move).
Ashira and Bart head in after the fireball, ready to clean up. Ashira takes a poorly placed swing and the abomination laughs at the pathetic cow's attempt. And then, might Bart steps forward...it's hammer time. But just as he moves forward to strike, the very ground underneath him opens up. (Bart, Refl. Save DC25. If you fail the Refl. save take 10 pts. damage and you are in a 20 foot deep hole filled with spikes. If not, then you end up in H12 and the attack was a success).
On the enemy front...orders are hissed, and the Yuan Ti spring into action. The purebloods continue their snipping. The frontline purebloods (PB4 & 8) see their chance and launch an attack on that monstrously huge thing (Nezamil) Volley after volley of arrows thud into Nezamil's shaken body (AC25 for 7, AC19 for 9, AC24 for 7. Total damage=23).
Liking the results from his last spell, the abomination in front of Appolo (AB3) casts it once more. This time Appolo and Val are immersed in ear splitting noise. (Take 2 hp of sonic damage. Make a Fort save. DC17 or be stunned for 1 round)
Seeing Appolo in a similar state, the purebloods around him (PB2&7) shift their positions so that they are flanking the immobile rogue. They whip out with their scimitars, feeling much better now that their target is much easier to attack. (AC23 for 7, AC20 for 9, AC22 for 10. Total damage=26)
Since his opponent has run away and that strong cow has moved up, the diamond backed halfblood (HB1) switches targets. Beading in on Val, he fires a volley of glowing arrows at her. The arrows zoom straight toward Val, only to be caught up in the jungle foliage.
Beginning to feel closed in, the abomination in front of Ashira and Bart (AB2) moves back and flings a spell at Bart (that is, assuming he's not in the pit). Bart must make a Fort. Save DC18 or become blind.
And off in the distant jungle, more hissing.

Rigging turns and fumbles at his belt to grab a potion. He quickly sucks it down and starts feeling better. He then turns and takes a 5' step to O12.
Rigging calls out, "The haste will be ending soon! Use it while you have it!"
He hears the loud explosing and sees the fireball go off, and he is glad Cosmo has gotten into the game. He then yells, "Work together and gang up on them! Kill one and move on to the next.
Appolo, Get out of there. Join up with Val!"

Her body tightenes as the adrenaline surges through it. Veins stood out as muscles swelled significantly. Her eyes were wide with bloodlust. Eyes focused on that diamond backed half blood. Her strength rivaled that of a giant. With it she would instill true fear into these snake men. The same fear as they instilled in others. She moves straight for the diamoned back half blood (HB1) and easily shrugs off both magical effect. Her wide unblinking eyes are red with rage and focused on HB1. She smiles big and raises the golden axe menacingly.

Deft and quick, Bart dodges the trap and the spell.
Rigging heals up and begins directing the battle. He steps forward and takes a closer look at the battle.
Nezamil picks up his wand and weapon and tends to the woman in the bag. Slowly and cautiously, she rises out of the bag. "Oh thank you...thank you, sir!!" The pregnant woman takes a look around. "But...I don't know where I am. Where is the trail? Who will protect us from the snakes and those horrible things??" The woman is beginning to panic.
Ashira steps forward and helps Nezamil with his pureblood opponent. Whack, whack...crunch, crunch. No more pesky archer.
(Okay, need a Refl. Save DC25 from Val because she passed by/through a pit trap. If you fail the Refl. save take 8 pts. damage and you are in a 20 foot deep hole filled with spikes. If not, then you end up in K7. For the time being, I will assume that you succeeded on your save.) Val steps forward, rage propelling her to kill, purge, destroy these evil things. Massive muscles bulging, heart racing, Val marches forward and engages the halfblood. She is truly a frightening visage as she brings the glowing axe down on the diamond back. No blood.... It takes a little bit of time for her rage consumed mind to understand that her well placed strike just bounced harmlessly off the Yuan Ti's tough scales.
Mykael moves forward, a elven shield in front of the helpless women. He bravely makes a stand, not willing to lose one civilian in this conflict. (Hero point to Mykael).
Appolo shakes off the spell and reaches down to pick up his stuff. And, obligingly, the Yuan Ti make attacks of opportunity. PB2 misses, but PB7 nicks Appolo for 6 points of damage. Then Appolo attacks, wounding PB2. The purebloods return the attack, but have no luck this go round.
Cosmo spurs his mount on in to the jungle and launches a devastating attack on the pesky Abomination that's squared off with Bart (AB2). The rays rip into his body. Oh, yes, he definitely felt that one!! And he's looking more than a little shaky. But success comes with a price for Cosmo, because his panicky mount has just discovered a dead Yuan Ti at it's feet. Rearing back in terror, it throws Cosmo from his back (5 points of damage) and bolts away from the corpse. Cosmo is now prone.
The sole living pureblood archer (PB8) examines his choices. Hmmm...that blue haired cow just cut down his buddy in 6 seconds. Shudder...and then there's that terrifying visage of death that just passed by him with it's dark skin and lithe form (Val). No way I'm getting near that thing. His blood brothers seem to have that other meatsack under control. Hmmm...maybe he should just focus on that blinking meatsack. He steps down 5 feet. Drawing his arrows, he waits patiently. He's seen this tactic many times before, and he knows to be patient, take his time. When the time is right, he loses his arrows, hitting Rigging solidly with the first arrow (Miss chance 100%, no miss 10 pts. damage) , but missing with the second.
Bart moves forward again and strikes and then Cosmo rips his body with the rays.(Bart, you made a move, so you only get one attack). This isn't exactly what the abomination had in mind...Further in the jungle, two abominations begin to cast (AB1, AB4). There is a sudden flash of bright light in the night sky...and then suddenly a huge column of fire engulfs Bart. (64 damage or Reflex save DC21 for half) The abomination paired with Bart (AB2) grins, a ugly pointy toothed affair. "You like that meatssack??" it taunts in a thicky accented Common. Then the abomination tucks tail and heads away from the battlefield (Withdrawing, no AoO, D5).
On the other side of the battlefield, Val once more feels the surge of magic trying to control her. She feels the impulse to stop, relax...smell the roses...violence is bad. (Calm Emotions, Will save DC17) The abomination nearby her (AB3) takes a step back and fires another spell at the raging barbarian (Calm Emotions. Val must succeed against 2 Will saves DC17 or stop fighting).
And then, quite unexpected, a new player appears, standing nearby Ashira. It's horrible. Sickly moist green skin, clawed hands and feet, a long tail...and a disgusting beard that moves as if alive. It hunches over its weapon...a long saw toothed glaive that looks....well, wicked. Red eyes take in the battle with a look akin to lust. Spotting Ashira nearby, the creature breaks out into a pointy toothed grin, horrible to behold. Viciously it thrusts it's glaive toward Ashira, but it just can't get past the ranger's armor.
The diamond back (HB1) takes in the battle with a look of pride. He carefully watches Val. If the spell should take a hold of her, he changes his focus to Bart. He takes careful aim at the big warrior and is rewarded with two solid hits. (AC31 for 13, AC35 for 16. Total damage=29). Should Val shake off both of the spells aimed at her, the diamond back drops his bow and pulls his scimitar. He looks over at Val with disdain. "What are you doing here, cow. You ssspeak of cleansing, but you overlook the obvioussss. All of thisss death and disstruction ressstss on your ssshoulders. For if you hadn't gone to the village, we wouldn't have had to harvessst the herd." His first blow cuts into Val (AC28 for 10) but the other two bounce harmlessly off her armor.

Ghem, change in plans. Come down here behind me. Guide the 4 women that were in the sacks back to safety. Stay with them. Let me know if you sense any snakes getting near them and you. I will stay close and protect you all. Dont get too far away from us.

Now might be the time to summon his own help. Still on the ground, Cosmo casts the spell Summon Monster V. He summons his Ape friends.

Ashira looks up at the thing in front of her...and that massive weapon it's got. Hmmmm...don't think it'll be too good up close with that thing. She steps forward and launches her attack, though she must admit that the stench coming from the creature is quite distracting. Still, she manages to inflict a good amount of damage on the thing.

Nezamil moves into the battle and fires off his spell. He bellows his command, which is met with varying results. The new player (BD1) simply snorts (spell resistance not met). Likewise, PB2 and HB1 are unaffected. One of the pureblood (PB8) hesitates for a moment, but finally shakes the spell off. Thankfully, one of the purebloods that was linked up with Appolo (PB7) drops his scimitar to the ground looking very confused.
Appolo's had enough. He makes a run for it, which is made very much easier by the fact that pureblood by him has just dropped his sword. But the going is much slower now that Rigging's Haste has worn off. He ends up just south of Rigging.
Bart watches the coward abomination run away and the new player arrive. Decisions, decisions... Mixing things up a bit, he decides to go after the abomination further afield (AB1). As he moves, he draws an attack of opportunity from the scaly creature (BD1), but it misses the massive warrior. With one mighty blow, the abomination is outta here!! The creature's lifeless body slumps to jungle floor.
Val is as ruthless and determined as the grim reaper in a traffic jam. The spells mean nothing to her...only that miserable thing in front of her. She takes more careful aim this time. But once more all three of her attacks bounce harmlessly off the creature's scaly hide.
Mykael decides it's time for a change up. Edging forward, he launches his glowing missiles at the wanna be snake archer thingy. Streaking forward, the missiles get to within 1 foot of the creature and fizzle out. (Spell resistance not met).
Knowing a good opportunity when he sees one, Rigging moves over and slices the weaponless pureblood a new belly button. The creature hisses venomously at Rigging.
Dusting himself off, Cosmo decides now might be a good time for some cheap help. Keeping his concentration up, Cosmo weaves his spell from the ground.
The cowardly abomination (AB2) is so very glad to finally be rid of that monstrous meatsack. Grapping his scimitar, he holds it over one of the sacks at his feet and plunges it straight down. He grins evilly as a shrill scream fills the air. He shouts out at the top of his reptilian lungs. "I will take them all!! All of your preciousss little cowss will die and I will feassst well tonight!!"
Meanwhile, his cousin (AB3) sees its chance. She is distracted...caught up with fighting the halfblood! Coming up on the side of Val, the abomination reaches out and grabs her catching her in a grapple (touch attack=19, grapple attack=42, take 10 Val fails). It's massive tail begins to slowly wind around the barbarian, squeezing, tightening...crushing. Then, she begins to feel a burning sensation as its hands and arms ooze acid onto her It's starting to get a little uncomfortable for Val (11 pts. crushing damage, 20 pts. acid damage). Since she's grappled, Val loses her Dexterity bonus to AC. She make make a grapple check d20 + BAB+ strength to escape next round if she wishes.
Seeing that the abomination has grappled his opponent, the diamondback (HB1) grins in anticipation. He relishes his next attack, slowly and deliberately hacking into his immobilized opponent time and time again. He laughs, an ugly hissing sound. "Purge thisss land. I highly doubt it. But oh, you are a ssstrong one...maybe we won't kill you right away. I don't usually go for exotic foodsss, but I'll make an exception this time. We'll take you to the bleeding ssstation once we've finished of the others. I bet you tasssste good!" (AC38 for 11, AC28 for 10, AC22 for 12. Total damage=33)
The pureblood by Nezamil shudders at his approach. He'd seen what that thing could do with it's gargantuan arms... Still, he knows his place, and he dutifully drops his bow and pulls his scimitar, and lashes out at Nezamil, inflicting the mildest of wounds (AC21 for 5).
One of the other purebloods moves in to flank Val (PB2). That cowardly human ran away, so he might as well help out over here. He lashes out twice and grins as he draws blood both times (AC24 for 5, AC17 for 9).
Rigging's pureblood (PB7) takes a step back (5ft). It decides that any weapon is better than no weapon, so it unsheathes its bow and takes aim at Rigging. He waits patiently, for he too has seen blink before. He looses his arrows just before the human blinks back out, but only one arrow connects (Jungle=19, Blink=31 (success per module) AC29 for 12).
The creature with the glaive (BD1) looks bored by Ashira's attack. And actually, it doesn't seem to have damaged him too much. It steps back 5 feet and attacks her again. But once again, it is foiled by her armor.
As Bart moves forward, several figures appear, apparently out of nowhere. Four halfbloods and a pureblood pop up directly in front of the farthest abomination (AB4). Scimitars in hand, they look ready for action.
Further in the jungle, the cobra hooded abomination (AB4) looks down at a piece of paper in it's hands. Apparently it's reading it. It must be spell casting, because the paper crumbles and once more, the sky is lit up. Once more a column of fire comes down from the sky to engulf Bart. (54 damage, Refl. save DC21 for half).
Remember, as George has said, the haste spell has now ended. Movement is back to ½ your normal move rate. If your normal move rate was 30, then a single move is now 15 feet and a double is 30. If your normal move rate was 40, then a single move is now 20 feet and a double is 40.

Mykael's turns sharply at the sound of the female scream. He instantly takes off as fast as he can move(double move to F10).
"Cosmo! Can you web that sucker and the women over there! I am moving to help!" Mykael yells for help as he points toward AB2.
"Ghem, please escort the ladies over behind Cosmo for protection. I have to try and help the other women. Dont worry about the Griffon, he is a friend of Cosmo's."
(Spot = 22)
Once in sight range, Mykael is a bloodied visage of determination, "Leave the women alone! Death is coming for you, and I am the dealer!"

Her red unblinking eyes still focused on the half breed before her. Her body was being crushed, sliced, and burned with acid but she felt none of it.

Casting about what she can see of the battle, Ashira pales when she sees Val grappled and heavily bleeding. It's true she had disagreed with Val of late on just about anything, and there were times that she wanted to throw the barbarian off a cliff... But to see her in need and not help is something that the ranger was unwilling to do to her sister. She looks over at Bart. "Hey, big guy, Nezamil's right over there. I'm gonna go help Val." Ashira's grin spreads from ear to ear as Cosmos' apes appear. "Yeah! Go get um!" She cheers as the apes rip into the enemy. She watches as the newly summoned ape rips the freaky monster (BD1) to pieces. Scooting over, she helps out the best way she can right now, by attacking the pureblood that's confronting Val (PB2). She cuts at the creature with her longsword, hoping to bring it down and give Val some breathing room (AC20 for 8).
Nellie to Matt Tuesday September 26th, 2006 2:03:28 AM
Matt, I think you calculated the Apes HP's incorrectly. Fiendish apes have the same HP (29) and then the animal growth give 2 Hp per hit die (in this case 4, so 8 HP). By my calculations, the Enlarged Fiendish apes have 37HP.
I have the Feat Augment Summoning which gives them +4 Str & +4 Con.
Aha! Now that makes more sense!! It's really hard to figure out things when I don't have any of the sheets. Thanks!!---Nellie

Mykael presses forward, determined to save the hostages. As he passes, Nezamil give him a little boost. He calls for Cosmo to web the abomination.
Nezamil reaches out to teach the newcomer a lesson (BD1) but, like the others, finds that the jungle can mess up a perfectly placed blow. He suggests that he and Ashira flank the pesky critter so they can mow it down in short order.
Val is annoyed by whatever pesky thing is keeping her from the diamondback. Flexing her massive muscles, she tries to wrench herself free from the abomination, but it holds her tight (Grapple=37).
The badly wounded Bart retreats. He can't make it to HB1, but he stops by the new coming snake looking thingy and wacks it a good one. It's green body shudders. Oh yeah, that got it's attention! Bart ends his move right net to the thing, knowing that the glaive is useless in close quarters.
Appolo takes aim at the pureblood pestering Val, but he's too far away, and his arrows miss the mark. (Visibility is 30 feet, trying to fire past 30 feet with allies around will be a very dangerous maneuver).
Feed up with the stupid pureblood harassing him, Rigging steps up and cuts the creature down with two quick strikes.
The quick thinking Cosmo finishes up his summoning and the apes appear in various positions around the battlefield. Quickly enlarging them, Cosmo creates a force to be reckoned with as 4 massive killer apes rip and tear at various enemies. Hero point to Cosmo!!
Ape 1 appears and is instantly zapped (9Hp electric damage, Refl. save DC18 for 1/2). Mykael too feels the electricity from the spell (same deal for Mykael). It rips and shreds eagerly.
Ape 2 feels a magical tug at it's body (Blindness) but shrugs it off easily (Fort. Save passed). It gets quickly to work with its cousin and soon there is only a bloody skeleton where the abomination (AB2) used to be.
Ape 3 digs in an in just a couple of seconds, the green slimy creature disappears...sent back to wherever its home was.
Likewise, Ape 4 quickly decimates the halfblood (HB9) in front of it. It munches on a bit of tail as it looks around for another snakey snack.
The hooded abomination (AB4) narrows its eyes at the arrival of apes. He smiles as if reveling in some kind of inside secret. He steps over away from Ape1 (drawing AoO...to speed things up, rolled it for you. If attack, then hits AC27 for 12 damage. If grapple, then touch attack succeeds, but fails to grapple) and casts a spell. A column of fire once more drops down from the sky, but this time it falls on two of the apes (Ape 4 & 2). Apes take 41 Hps of damage (Refl. save of 21 for ½ damage. Also reduce damage by 5 for fire resistance. Caster level check=17, SR negated).
With a look of annoyance, the diamond back turns his attention to the newly summoned ape (ap3) in front of him. He lashes out at the thing with a full attack from his glowing scimitar (magical), but can't quite kill it this round (AC31 for 6, AC21 for 7, AC24 for 8. Total damage=21). It looks highly peeved that it cannot continue it's torture of Val, and scans the battlefield for the spellcaster that brought it forth.
Suddenly having no appetite for easy sport or green skinned cows, the pureblood (PB2) turns its attention to the killer apes. It stabs the ape, but it's magically toughened skin refuses to be cut by such a base weapon (damage reduction not met).
The other pureblood (PB8) continues to focus on Nezamil. He strikes out with his scimitar (AC30/13 for 8 damage) though he constantly looks over his shoulder to see what that gigantic ape is doing.
The newly arrived Yuan Ti (HB 6, 7, &8, PB 14) stares with horror at the apes that are now in front of them. They're soooooo big. Too big! And by the looks of their cousin's actions, swords aren't going to do the job this time. Time for a change up. The halfbloods shift about the battle field (drawing AoOs) and then begin to weave spells, aiming them at the apes (Ap4, 2 &3). They suggest to the apes that it is so very hot here in the jungle....they should go down to the river (roughly 200 feet away behind the group) to cool themselves off. (Each ape must make a Will save DC17 or they up and leaves for the river, SR check=19, 27, 10. All three apes SR is negated). The pureblood just looks on, not sure quite what to do.
The abomination grappling Val (AB3) continues to keep ahold of her. It tightens its hold (Grapple=41) pinning Val. It's coils constrict and it is beginning to become difficult for Val to breath (Contrict=11, Acid=16).
Val AC 17 (19 vs traps), 55/ 139, Endure Elements, Greater Rage 4 of 9 Tuesday September 26th, 2006 9:18:54 AM
Fighting the constriction, Val keeps struggling against the binding serpent.
ooc: the wold grapple rules are unbelievably horrible so I'm not going to bother rolling an escape check. There is no possible way for me to escape. Even with a nat 20 on the roll I wouldn't get a 41. Though why somebody gets a -4 on a strength feat is something I do not understand.

"Gre-at Job-bb-bb!" Mykael cheers on Cosmo and his apes as the electricity courses through him for full damage (Reflex = 9, failed).
Mykael continues to move as fast as he can to the still trapped women, moving in between ape 1 & 2, to D15.
"Hold on ladies! I am almost there. We are here to save you. Dont panic!" Mykael hollers encouragement to the 5 trapped women.

Nezamil grins as the big warrior bounds near him seeking help for his wounds " you look a little crispy "
"nice work on that big green ugly beast..ya took care it quick"
"Here take this potion(cmw 2d8+5=??roll yourself )...it will help ya feel better"
The cleric of Domi then taps the mighty warrior with a wand (cmw 2d8(3+8)+5=16 cured)(4th charge used)

Rigging sees that Val is in trouble and wants to aid her but isn't sure what to do. He snaps his fingers and concentrates for a second. A green ray shoots forth from his hand and strikes Ab3. AB3 feels the strength leave his body and knows fear as it looks into Val's enraged eyes.
Spell resistance 26, Ranged tough attack hits ac 22, jungle miss 99, blinking 43, AB3 loses 10 strength points. If he is a normal abomination, should bring his str down to 9.
Rigging will then take his movement and move M20 working his way to the women to see if he can get them moving towards the village.

OOC - I am assuming the Halfbloods are using Suggestion on the Apes. Suggestion is a language dependant spell so I do not think it would work on an ape. Let me know and I will roll the saves if ruled otherwise.
LOL!! See, that's what you get when you try to write a post at 3am! No, the suggestion won't work on the apes.---Nellie
Ape 1: Reflex 22 for 4 damage.
Ape 1: Will take the AoO on AB4 for the 12 damage.
Ape 4: Reflex 12 for 36 (41-5) damage Ape 2: Reflex 23 for 15 (20-5) damage
AoO's (not sure on which HB): Ape 4 Hit AC 16; damage 0 Ape 2 Hit AC 27; damage 13 Ape 3 Hit AC 24; damage 15
OOC - I think Ape 4 is within AoO range of HB8 as it tries the Suggestion (Hit AC 32(32); critical damage 32)
Ending HP's: Ape 1: 41/45 Ape 2: 30/45 Ape 3: 24/45 Ape 4: 9/45

Ashira presses her attack against the pureblood. Very distracted by Val's situation, Ashira can't full concentrate on her opponent, and it shows. She only manages to connect with the creature once. (AC26 for 11).

Mykael, despite just getting zapped is finding his job a whole lot easier now a days. Those big apes seem to have drawn the attention of the Yuan Ti...wonder why???
Serving as medic, Nezamil hands Bart a potion and then taps him with his wand. The French fried warrior is definitely looking much better now!!
Wracking his brain to come up with a way to help Val, but not get too close to the front line, Rigging comes up with a brilliant plan! He fires off his ray and watches with great satisfaction as the creature shrivels a little. Ooooo...it's not liking that!! Hero point to Rigging!!
Though she's having a tough time concentrating, Ashira makes her one successful attack count, downing the creature.
The apes continue their assault Ape 1: Moves forward to find someone to attack Ape 2: Attacks HB7 (Claw: AC13, AC20 for 16. BiteAC14) Ape 3: Attacks HB8 (Claw: AC29 for 14, Jungle miss. BiteAC10) Ape 4: Attacks HB8 (Claw: AC21 for18, AC15. BiteAC16)
The apes literally rip two of the halfbloods to pieces (HB7 & 8)
Val is finding it awfully hard to breathe now a days. Those coils are getting mighty tight...and now she's pinned. Not good...not good indeed. And then Rigging fires off his nasty spell and she can feel the creature's grip loosen. Finally! Flexing her massive muscles, Val shakes off the pin, but is still grappled (rolled 39 for you). The abomination continues its assault squeezing and burning (Constrict=10, Acid=15). It attempts to pin the elf once more, but in it's weakened state it's having a hard enough time just hanging onto the raging elf (Pin roll=21, failure). Val can roll a grapple check next round to see if she escapes the grapple (DC30). If you escape the grapple, then you can move to an adjacent space (no attack).
The diamondback continues his concentration on the ape in front of him, frustrated that it's preventing from his fun. (AC30 for 7, AC35/26 for 12. Total damage=19)
The hooded cobra watches the battle with interest. It's been a long time since he's been in a combat this fun. He retrieves and reads a scroll (Dispel Magic). The air around the apes crackles with magical energy and then **poof** three of the apes (AP1, AP2, AP4) are gone (Dispel checks=28, 23, 23). Bart and Ashira feel the magic wash over them. (Ashira loses endure elements, Dispel=14). Mykael feels the magical tug too (can't remember whether you have the endure elements spell or not...if so, they you lose it Dispel=16).
Pureblood 8 continues to press his attack on Nezamil. As the dwarf heals Bart, he takes a swipe at the dwarf, drawing a little more blood (AC20 for 8). However, he has much worse luck on his regular attack and just can't touch the dwarf.
The halfbloods and purebloods by the cobra look very relieved that the apes are gone. Sheathing their scimitars, they pull out their longbows.
Appolo Hp 22 Ac 23 Wednesday September 27th, 2006 11:27:56 AM

Val struggles against the loosened grip but her body won't respond. Her arms won't push against the serpent like they should and Val remains trapped in the binding coils.

George Wednesday September 27th, 2006 2:10:01 PM
Sticking my nose in here. Val/William you can try and break the grapple as many times as you can attack. If Val gets 3 swings, then she gets 3 rolls to try and break the grapple. After the first it is considered a full action and she would only be allowed to move 5' but that is certainly better then taking acid damage.
George is absolutely right!! Feel free to make your other two rolls at the lower BAB values....luck can be a beautiful thing!!---Nellie
Walter d20+11=23 d20+6=20 Wednesday September 27th, 2006 2:33:10 PM
Good to know but with the wold rules I cannot break free no matter how many times I roll. Kinda funny since Val has a str of 28 right now. The other two rolls are a 23 and a 20. Nellie your 39 was too high. With the wold rules the most I can get is a 36 with a nat 20.
Actually, like I said in the post (because of the ray of enfebblement), the new DC is 30. Sorry the rolls didn't work out for you.---Nellie
George Wednesday September 27th, 2006 7:15:23 PM
Walter, under Woldian rules, a natural 20 always succeeds so you do have a chance.

Rigging thinks to himself. "Well it worked once, why not again?" He points a finger and casts his spell again. Another green beam hits AB3 shrinking his strength down even more.
SR roll 24, hit touch attack 26, made my jungle miss roll and my blink roll. If all this works, AB3 loses another 7 points of strength.

Matt C. Wednesday September 27th, 2006 9:15:01 PM
OOC - remember when you roll your grapple check it is vs. their grapple modifier + 10 (take 10 per woldian special attack rules.) It is not vs. the roll they had when they grappled you (when you had to take 10).
In this case, because Val is trying to break the grapple, Val roles a d20+BAB+STR-penalty. She compares this to the enemies take 10 value of 30. Then, when the abomination wishes to continue with his grapple, he rolls d20+BAB+STR+size bonus+grapple bonus which I compare to Val's take 10 value. Which is why Val is only grappled and not pinned. Last round the Abomination tried to pin once more and rolled a natural 1 which is a failure. If any of Val's rolls had exceeded DC30 she would have been free of the grapple.---Nellie

Appolo sees Val in trouble, and despite his self preservation instincts, he heads into the fray. (OOC: By my calculations at 30 feet double move, the best Appolo can get to is M17) Along the way, he encounters another one of those pesky pit traps ((Ref. DC25 or 5 pts. damage and in a 20 foot deep pit. Am assuming he passes, otherwise he's in N20).
Val struggles against the weakened abomination but the prolonged grappling is taking its toll. She just can't beat off the thing.
Bart dashes in and slices that pesky pureblood in half and then dashes back to where he was. Nezamil patches him up some more and urges him to get back into the fight. He calls out various commands to various members of the team.
Rigging fires off another excellently placed ray and once more the abomination shudders. The huge creature's arms tremble with the effort of trying to keep a hold of the barbarian.
Mykael makes it to the women and is indeed able to cure the pregnant woman in the bag...a few seconds later and she would have been gone.
Ghem moves toward the village and though the women look shaken at having a creature's thoughts invade their minds, at this point in time, they'd probably follow a demon if it meant getting away from the snakemen. Dutifully, they plod slowly along behind the pseudodragon. Ghem does not detect any Yuan Ti, nor does Mykael spot any.
The sole surviving ape uses his massive arms to try and reach over Val and the Halfblood to take on the abomination. It's difficult going, though. He accidentally hits Val with his first attack but misses with the other two. (If you attack into a grapple, you have an equal chance of hitting either combatant. Rolled even odds, and it came up that Val was the recipient of the attack. Going to be nice here and say that the attacks just don't connect.)
Ashira moves in and slices easily into the halfblood. Narrowing it's eyes, its grinds its teeth in pain.
Cosmo moves forward, searching for a better angle and visibility. But there's a problem. Just as he moves forward, he finds the ground opening underneath him (Ref. DC25 or 3 pts. damage and in a 20 foot deep pit. I'm assuming he passes, otherwise put him in F20).
The pureblood standing in front of the cobra (PB14) scans the battlefield and spots Mykael. Now that looks like a promising shot!! Pulling the bow taut, he carefully places his shot, and is pleased to see that it connects with the elf trying to free the captives. (AC23 for 4). His partner the halfblood figures that Bart is a better target and takes aim at him. His arrows whiz hopelessly off course, thudding into nearby trees.
The abomination (AB4) pulls out a scroll and begins casting...and casting...and casting...he spends the whole time casting.
The diamondback flicks his scimitar casually at the ape, and it disappears (AC25 for 12 damage). Then he spins to face the green cow. Hmmm...maybe this cow will pose a challenge!! He takes two strikes at her, but he can't get his blows past her armor and the jungle.
Completely out gunned, the abomination (AB3) grappling with Val tries to pin her but his weak arms can't do it...and he knows it won't be long...won't be long till she's free with that axe. Val can feel his body shudder with dread. In a last ditch effort, he tries to crush the life out of the cow... and it pays off. The disabled (PHB145) barbarian barely moves in his coils. (Constrict=9 Acid=23). (OOC you can try and break free vs. DC26, but you will be at -1hp due to the strenuous activity. And remember...the HP's from rage are still active even at negative HP's...unless you choose for Val to die.)
Mykael -- HP 12/56, AC 27 d20+7=27 d20+5=13 d20+5=11 Thursday September 28th, 2006 1:34:27 AM
Mykael grits his teeth from the arrow that just stung him in the back. He takes a 5ft step to E12 and begins freeing B6 and B1 if he can reach and has the time this round.
Speaking to the woman he just set free and stabalized, "Hurry help those 3 out of the bags there," as Mykael indicates B2, B5.
Mykael is constantly scanning the area and keeping watch behind him. If he sees incoming arrows, spells, or attacks, he will attempt to block them with his shield. Whether or not he is able to block the attacks he makes sure he is hit before the women behind him.

Val groans and starts to black out but her eyes don't close just yet. Its not that easy to put down a barbarian in the throes of rage. She continues to struggle against the binding coils and burning acid.
ooc: val only took 7 from the constriction which puts the damage at 30 and her hp at 2. If it wasn't for the barbarian DR she would have been well below -10 by now. I used a hero point on the escape roll to try again but all 4 rolls failed. I think the dice hate me.

The giant Ashira bites her lip in nervous anticipation. Val is struggling, that's easily seen. Precious seconds count. Her massive weapons are a blur of action as she changes targets and attacks the abomination. But it's a tricky business...the two of them are so close together and are moving around...she could easily hit Val by mistake. Aiming carefully, Ashira is able to catch the abomination with a critical strike to whatever serves as the creature's neck (AC 33/27 for 28). But that's the best she can do (all other attack miss).

Mykael moves over and helps two other ladies out of their bags. The women are sluggish and obviously in a state of shock but appear in good enough condition to travel...albeit slowly due to their pregnant condition. Mykael does not spot any snakes.
Seeing his friends and wife in trouble, Rigging gives Ashira a little boost. The ranger grows to proportions roughly matching the abomination, towering over the halfblood with her now large weapons....things just heated up for the Yuan Ti! (Need Concentration checks for that Enlarge spell, please)
With an amazing show of endurance, Val takes all that the abomination dishes out and in the end is still standing. The abomination looks confused. What is this thing that refuses to die?? There is more than a hint of fear in it's reptilian face as it takes in its situation. Could it be that this group of humans were some how different than all the other groups that fell at his hands? Could it be that the cow had been speaking the truth? Was this the dealer of death? Her dark skin certainly suggested it. Only one way to find out....
Appolo rushes over to help Val out, but the ground opens up in front of him. Down, down, down he falls, finally landing with a thud next to a bunch of spikes (Ref. save=16, fails. Appolo takes 5 pts. damage and in a 20 foot deep pit N20).
Bart moves forward...he will save Val!! But the cursed jungle continues to hamper his movement. He just can't make it to the abomination and attack. Ahhh...but the halfblood...now he's a different story!! Bart moves over and takes a mighty swing at the thing, but it's tough skin doesn't even seem to register the blow.
The quick thinking giant dwarf reaches out and spreads Domi's healing power to Val. The pale Val recovers some of her color and is definitely looking much better!
Cosmo succumbs to the pit. But that doesn't phase the quick witted spellcaster! He reaches into his pack and pulls out his magical rod. Then, he nimbly casts his spell. Poof, suddenly the Wold looks so much bigger!! (Sorry, but Cosmo the Pixie cannot fly this round, since he has already performed his standard and move actions.)
Trying to save her friend, Ashira changes targets, and is richly rewarded with her first strike. The Yuan Ti (AB3) shudders at the impact of the hit. A thought runs through his head...death...death...death.
And then, just as things are beginning to look up....there is the sound of spellcasting. Bart's stomach turns as the sky above him once more takes on that eerie glow. He knows full well what's coming. A column of fire forms around him and Nezamil. (Flame Strike. 53 dam. Reflex DC21 for ½ damage)
But that's not all...at precisely the same time, 5 fiendish apes appear on the battlefield immediately around the Wildcards. They're not nearly as big or hearty as Cosmo's apes, but they still look menacing.
Ape 1: Takes a 5 foot step, then tries to grapple Bart, Touch attack: AC19, Jungle 66, Grapple check=26 (success?--Bart, what's your BAB+str-4 and your touch AC?)
Ape3: Takes a 5 foot step, then tries to grapple Bart, Touch attack: AC9, Jungle 66, Grapple check=28-fails (unless Ape 1 succeeded in the grapple...in which case Ape 3 would succeed)
Ape4: Takes a 5 foot step, then tries to grapple Ashira, Touch attack: AC9-fails
Ape5: Takes a 5 foot step, then tries to grapple Ashira, Touch attack: AC16, Jungle 84, Grapple check=29--succeeds.
The apes reach and claw for the two fighters, trying to keep them in place. (Ashira is grappled, Bart is probably. If grappled, grapple check (BAB+Str. -4penalty) DC20 to break free)
The halfblood (HB1) surveys the battlefield. Ahhh...so many targets.... He settles for the massive meatsack (Bart). Taking his time, and having a good deal of fun, he strikes the mighty warrior with two solid blows. (AC34 for 14, AC29 for 17. Total damage=31)
The abomination grappling Val (AB3) manages to wrestle down his fears long enough to pin the pesky dark elf (Grapple=30). It continues to squeeze and burn... (Constrict=8, Acid=17) It can't be death if I kill it first!! (Val, go ahead and add 6 more HP to Val's total---Abomination's constrict damage was 6 too high on the last 2 rounds).

Ashira growls as the hairy arms grab hold of her. "Hey!! I don't think so you big lug!!" Twisting and flexing, Ashira wiggles out of the apes grasp (Grapple=22). Deciding to get rid of the pesky annoyances, Ashira wages a full attack on the apes (Ape5--AC20 for 10, AC20 for 13, AC24 for 7. Ape 4--AC19 for 8, AC14 for 7).

In the span of a moment she was pulled to the edge of death's door and thrown right back against it. It was impossible to breathe and she began to feel the pain. The intense pain began slicing through her rage like a saw into the mightiest oak. Still she continued to struggle against the insurmountable force that was pressing down around her.

The agile Bart avoids once more most parts of the flamestrike. Then some apes appear from midair, the attempt from the first ape to grapple him is a success. The second ape misses his attempt and the third ape as well. (the third ape fails his touch attack which was ac9) Bart activates his ring of levitation, suddenly he is high above the ground then he tries to escape from the grapple from the ape and escapes (made 2 escape rolls just in case) and the ape falls down
Mykael -- HP 12/56, AC 27 d100=39 d20+2=8 Friday September 29th, 2006 12:43:18 PM
OOC: Chris, those 13 hps from the wand have already been added in and lost via and electrical attack and an arrow. Thanks for looking out though.
Looking back, Mykael opens one more bag, then he stands and turns to face the field of battle.
"Help your last captive friend out ladies. Then head that way to meet up with my little dragon friend and the other four women we have saved this day. And please hurry, we need you away from the battlefield."
Mykael casts Web, he centers it so it cover an area from I7 to I14 to P14 to P7.
(Spell failure = 39%, success) (Concentration = 8) (Spell Resistance = none) (DC for Reflex save = 16)
"It wont last long people, get Val outta there. Cosmo! I cant hold it, but it has slowed them down. See if you can drop another one on top of it to stop them, please! Hell, drop as many on top of that spot as you can, bury them in it!"
3) All creatures (characters and monsters) take a -4 non-proficiency penalty when making special attacks. However, this penalty is lifted if the creature has a feat that provides a bonus or expertise in the particular special attack. It is also lifted if the character is a Duelist, Hand of Domi, or Monk. For monsters, it is also lifted if the monster has a special ability or expertise in the attack, such as Improved Grab or Trip. ONLY ATTACKERS, NOT DEFENDERS, SUFFER THE -4 PENALTY.
ENDQUOTE =================
Yes William, I got that email as well. Sometimes DM's make mistakes. But in this current combat, the -4 penalty mistake did not make a difference. I have checked all the numbers and even with the +4, the only thing that has changed is that Val has broken her grapple this round. Bart and Ashira's grapples by the apes were still successful.---Nellie

Off to the side of the death struggle between the Wildcards and the Yuan Ti, out steps a muddy and well camouflaged human. The man is wearing very rough and dirty clothing and has palm fronds sticking out of his cloths and head.
The man looks at the large half blood archer as he bends his bow. "Eat these Kaa!! Been looking for me? Here I am!" The man lets fly two arrows.
The mans bow even has palm fronds hanging from it.
AC 31, hit for 8 damage (61%) AC 14, miss (64%)
The man has a desperate look to him. He is very fit six foot man, if not a bit on the thin side. He has a very handsome, but muddy face.
The man adds in elvish "I have a trail cut just over here with several surprises. You have to hurry!"

Finally free of the binding coils, Val turns to the snake that has caused her so much pain. Even before her eyes focus onto the creature, the golden axe is slicing towards it.
ooc: since these attacks take place before the healing and the enlarge person I left out the healing and the enlarge. power attack -5/ +5. 1st attack is a crit, ac 24 to confirm. If it crit is successful the damage is 68 normal and 5 bane. The + list only went to 50 and the actual damage was 3d8+57 so I added 7 points to the rolled damage. If it is not a crit the damage is 23 and 5. The 2nd attack hit AC 29 for 20 and 10.

Ashira the Huge shrugs off the ape holding her down and easily sends both of them back from whence they came.
With an amazing show of strength, Val finally blows off the abomination. She's free!! She grips her axe firmly, her arms still burning from the acid. She spins and with one mighty swing of her axe, she severs the abomination's head from it's shoulders. Though she does not know it, one final word runs through it's brain before Gargul comes to take him...Death.
Bart easily shrugs off the apes that are holding him and activates his ring. (William, activating a magic item is a standard action, as are the grapple checks. You can activate the ring this round, but you will have to wait until next round to actually begin levitating because it is a move round action (by making all your attacks you have done a full round action). Also, remember that you are grappling with creatures that weigh 350 pounds and have 10 foot reach. Even if you levitate 20 feet next round, you will still be within reach of the ape's arms.)
Mykael works with the hostages, freeing them and trying to get them on the path to freedom. Slowly and reluctantly they begin to work their way toward Ghem, though they aren't very happy about Mykael not going with them. Determined to slow down the enemy, Mykael fires off his web, gluing them in place.
Then Rigging follows up with a fireball, which quickly undoes some of Mykael's work...but there's a silver lining...from the amount of damage, it looks like that web held the pureblood (PB16), the halfblood (HB5) and the ape (Ap2) while the flames did their job (no Reflex because entangled by web). The abomination (AB4) looks completely unharmed by the attack, however.
George, your Enlarge Person check was a success, but your Mage Armor check failed. Mage Armor will wear off in 2 rounds.
And then...a newcomer...but a friendly from the sounds of it. The half-elf enters the edge of the combat near Mykael and fires off a well placed arrow. The diamond back (HB1) spins at the sound of the half-elf's voice. It's him. So the little rat finally showed his head. No matter...I'll have my fun and then I'll hang his skull from my belt.
With an amazing show of grace and benevolence, the mortally wounded Nezamil reaches out and administers Domi's healing touch. Suddenly Val feels much better!! Hero point to Nezamil!! He then sticks out a wand for Rigging to take.
Cosmo the Pixie flies out of the trap he's in and regroups...my, there's a lot going on out there!! Fluttering over to where Nezamil is, Cosmo casts Enlarge on Val. Cosmo can feel the strange environment straining his mental capacities...and he knows that he is about to lose control of his spells soon. (Forgot about the Concentration last round. DC for Enlarge is 26, rolled 24. DC for Polymorph is 26, rolled 16. DC for Mage armor is 21, rolled 20. So, in 2 rounds the Enlarge, Polymorph and Mage armor will disappear). Val begins to grow at an alarming rate. Her rapid growth pushes the halfblood (HB1)and Bart over 5 feet.
The badly burned pureblood (PB14) scoots over a few feet. Sheathing his scimitar, he pulls out his bow.
The halfblood (HB6) looks over at the battle and decides that maybe he should stay out of it for now. He begins to cast a spell. Val feels magic wash over her, and the halfblood hisses out to her. The elven girl! My brothers have your elven girl..the one you left at the ship. You better go and rescue her! (Suggestion, Will save DC 17...Don't forget to add the elven +2 bonus to your roll.)
Bart's apes are having a difficult time. Ape 2's attacks are completely useless against the warrior. But it's evil twins (Apes 1&3) shift about (5 foot step) are finally able to get a hold of the agile fighter (Ape1 Jungle=75, Touch=19, Grapple=27 (Ape1 Jungle=27, Touch not needed since Ape 1 is already grappling, Grapple=28). The big monkeys grab and wrestle with the warrior (DC222 to break free...sorry put the wrong number last round). Need to use BAB (when doing multiple grapples, you need to use the lower values after your first attack) + Str.
The diamond back halfbood (HB1) smiles as the apes go about their work. Seeing that the elven cow is now double size, he focuses on her...though he is much more cautious now that she has cut down his partner. His scimitar lashes out with deadly precision, seriously wounding the barbarian (AC35 for 13, miss, AC18 for 14. Total damage=27)
Moving quickly so as not to get completely stuck by the web aimed at it (Ref. pass saved), the abomination (AB4) is still entangled by the thing. The monster grins as he watches the battle from afar. Yes, yes, quite amusing. He even claps his hands as Val delivers her death blow to the abomination. It would appear that it is having the time of its life. It too also notices the arrival of the newcomer human, which seems to brighten its mood even more.
"Ssssoo my little runaway, you are ssstill alive. I wass afraid that you'd fallen in a pit and broke one of your little legsss." The abomination chuckles. "Mmmm....or maybe you're wissshing for a reunion with your precious little Felosilia. Poor little thing...you ssshould hear her scream. Tsk, tsk...but I'm afraid you have little time...the little one isss sso weak. But if you turn yourself in...I'm sssure you can sssay your goodbyesss before ssshe diesss!"
Clearly amused by his own wit, the abomination flicks his wrist in the general direction of the human (Concentration check passed). Suddenly, a dark cloud forms on the battlefield. It looks thick, greasy, perhaps...definitely unnatural. Sinking to the ground, it covers several of the combatants (Romeo, Mykael, Apes 1-3, Bart and Val). The very air rips at the Wildcard's life forces (19 damage and be sickened for 4 rounds, Will save DC20 for half damage and you are not sick. Sickened= a -2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.) Oddly, the cloud does not seem to bother the apes in the slightest.
Having incinerated everything in it's path, the flames from the fireball catch the web on fire. The slowly spreading fire (5 feet per round) burns away the rest of the web holding the abomination (AB4) in place. The abomination hisses as the flames from the burning web burn his coils.

Mykael takes a deep breath and covers his mouth to keep from getting sick from the black cloud(Will save = 26).
He turns and makes sure all the women are freed, then he guides all five in a straight line, south toward Ghem. He makes sure to keep them all together and as calm as possible. He will support them as needed until they are all out of the cloud.

Romeo takes aim with his bow and lets loose at the apes on the human warrior.

Romeo then takes a 5 foot step back into the newly cut and camouflaged trail as he motions toward Mykael and the pregnant women "You must hurry, there is another squad in the jungle."
Romeo mumbles to himself "Everyone is so exposed."

OOC -- When I first cast Mage Armor it was a concentration check of 12 and now it is a check of 21. Is it that much harder to keep concentrating on this spell (and others I have cast) just because I cast another one? Do I know that the spell duration had decreased and will end in two rounds instead of hours or minutes?
OOC -- Is the miss chance the same irregardless of size?
Cosmo flies up a bit more to get a better view of the battle as he has some enlarged companions blocking his view (same cell move up to 40' height). Cosmo casts Web spell centering on AB4 (reflex dc 18).

Mykael takes a lick but keeps on ticking. Though gravely wounded, he moves the hostages toward Ghem. Nearby, the unkempt human advises that they head back into the jungle, pointing the way to safety...or so he says.
While the rest of the Wildcards engage in life and death battle, Appolo takes a break. Once he feels fully up to the task, he gets to work and sets about getting himself out of the pit. The going is slow, but steady, and he makes it about 8 feet out of the pit.
Val succumbs to the choking cloud, and suddenly, she feels¡Kwell..faint. The damage finally catching up to her, she falls to the ground, dying. But through the mist she feels a gentle touch. Healing floods through her and she rises to her feet (Ok, being really, really nice here and not making Val drop to prone before the healing :)). With unbelievable strength, she brings the axe down...and cuts into the halfblood. Blood oozes down his diamond patterned back. He looks over at Val incredulous.
Then Rigging steps forward and discharges his wand. Nothing seems to happen to PB14 and HB6, but the abomination (AB4) and the diamond back (HB1) definitely have lost some of their glow. As the dispel spreads across the jungle, Apes 2 & 3 disappear with a poof.
Seeing as his other targets have disappeared, Romeo fires off a couple of arrows into Ape 1¡¦s posterior end.
Thinking fast, Cosmo wills a Web to form (Con. Check passed!!) outside of his range of vision. Luckily (although Cosmo doesn¡¦t know, because he can't see that far) the web forms around the Abomination. Cosmo can feel his spells slipping away¡Kas if something about the island is trying to rip away his spells. (Sorry Matt, just following the guidelines in the module). He knows that many of his spells are ending soon.
The abomination hisses angrily at the web which forms around it. Sticky strands sticking to his scales, the creature rips its way through most of the web.
The sole remaining ape howls in pain at the arrows in its rump, but it continues to focus on Bart. It reaches out and grabs a hold of the warrior, hugging him tightly to his hairy body (97%, Touch AC27, Grapple=30)
The diamond backed halfblood (HB1) looks at Val with cold rage. "You will pay for that, cow!" He slashes at Val and cuts her (AC30 for 13) and then moves quickly away from her (AoO from Val and Ashira. Ashira's misses).
The pureblood (PB14) watches the bloodshed with awe. Notching his bow, he fires off three arrows at Ashira in rapid succession, but none of them find their mark.
Seeing his spell has failed, the other halfblood (HB6) moves forward and engages Val (No AoO. I'm assuming you use that on the retreating HB1). Scimitar at the ready, he cuts into the raging barbarian (AC17 for 5) and misses with his second blow.

Rigging will then slide to the right and forward until he sees PB14 and launches his last offensive weapon at it. Magic missiles leap from his hand and strike the YT for 13 points of damage (SR roll 25 miss chance 88)

"Gargul will have you!" She growled at the fleeing HB1. Despite the nausea, dizzyness, and blurry vision the golden axe came down fast and hard at the backside of the fleeing HB1.

With HB1 out of her reach, Val turns her gaze to the only snake man she can see. The bold and the brave HB6. Her legs tremble and her arms shake but she manages to bring the axe down on the smaller snake creature.
"Your all alone."
(1st attack hit ac 26 for 20 and 10 bane, 2nd attack hit ac 21 for 25 and 8 bane. 3rd attack misses.)

If You¹re Pinned by an Opponent When an opponent has pinned you, you are held immobile (but not helpless) for 1 round. While you¹re pinned, you take a -4 penalty to your AC against opponents other than the one pinning you. Treat your Dexterity as 0 (-5 modifier). Rogues can sneak attack you. At your opponent¹s option, you may also be unable to speak. On your turn, you can try to escape the pin by making an opposed grapple check in place of an attack. You can make an Escape Artist check in place of your grapple check if you want, but this requires a standard action. If you win, you escape the pin, but you¹re still grappling.

Ashira Wednesday October 4th, 2006 1:12:00 AM
The ranger looks over at her comrades, and notices that the big dwarf looks like he's in need of healing himself. She reaches into her backpack and pulls out a potion (CMW). "Here. I know you've been busy helping others, why don't you use this to heal yourself. Don't want to be dragging your sad carcuss through this jungle after you pass out." Ashira winks and gives the cleric a friendly pat on the back.
Raindrops are Falling on my head----ADM Nellie Wednesday October 4th, 2006 1:15:04 AM
Val strikes true and hard at the halfblood as it retreats (no crit.). The monster hisses in pain as it limps away from the battle. It looks...frustrated.
Rigging fires off his magic missiles which strike the pureblood true. They don't down the creature, but it looks like on it's last leg.
With one mighty blow, Val hacks the new comer HB6 into itty bitty pieces.
Tired of the grappling game, Bart tries to turn the tables on the apes and struggles mightly to pin it. The gamble pays off, and the beast is held immobile in Bart's mighty arms. Slowly he begins to crush the critter.
Slowly, slowly, slowly Appolo drags himself out of the pit. He makes it another 8 feet. He's now only 4 feet from the top of the pit.
Once more looking after Val's interests ahead of his, Nezamil grants more healing to the badly wounded barbarian.
Mykael questions the women about this Romeo guy's credibility. The women stare at each other. "We've heard rumors...but we thought they were only stories. A man who lived out in the jungle on his own...but up until now we couldn't understand why anyone would want to leave the village." The woman shudders looking at all the Yuan Ti bodies around. It's too much for the woman next to her, and she begins to break down sobbing.
Since the other halfblood (HB6) is dead, Cosmo flies over to where his Gryphon is.
And just like that, the battle is over. The ape is soon subdued and returned to its native realm and the pureblood, halfblood and abomination slink into the jungle and disappear. Appolo eventually makes it out of the pit.
It's frightening, really how quiet the jungle is without the sounds of battle. And as if on cue, there is a rumbling, indicating that the afternoon showers have arrived. The refreshing sprinkling washes blood from arms an armor and cools the battle weary. But there is little time to enjoy such niceties...if Romeo is to be believed, another group of Yuan Ti will be arriving soon.
OOC: Ok, folks, we're out of combat, so you can feel free to RP for a little while.
Matt C. Wednesday October 4th, 2006 1:36:08 AM

There is one glowing scimitar and two glowing arrows on the battlefield. None of the rest of the items glow. I can settle up on loot later...if you guys decide to take anything but the glowing items.---Nellie
Mykael Wednesday October 4th, 2006 1:57:59 AM
Mykael comforts the women and groups them together.
"We scared them off, but they will be back with more. We need to move to a safer location and rest. Come on Ladies, please hurry, You will be able to rest and relax soon."
Mykael turns to the new man, "I am Mykael, thanks for the help, perhaps you would lead us out of here and tell us your story as you do so?"
Ghem, we are getting out of here. Just let me know if you sense any Yuan-Ti getting near. And stay close but out of sight.

Phew that was clos we could have those snakes but the abonimations and the apes where strong, Bart drinks a cure moderate potion healing himself a bit. What do we do I dont think we could survive an attack like this right now
George Wednesday October 4th, 2006 7:50:24 AM
Nellie,
Could you give us a situation update. How far are we from the village? How far are we from the ship?
Sure thing. You are about 400 feet (roughly 10 minutes) from the village. From the village to the Sword is approximately 10 miles (about 90 min. by trail, 180 min. through the jungle). So, from your current position to the Sword would be a little over 1 1/2 hours. Obviously it will take longer with the pregos traveling along. About 2 hours with the pregos. Hope this helps.---Nellie
NPC Romeo Wednesday October 4th, 2006 7:54:51 AM
The dirty and palm encrusted human looks at the Wildcards and talks in exasperated tones "It is time to exit stage left. I took a big risk revealing myself as I thought you had at least a 50% chance of surviving, but hanging out in the jungle in this big a group is not a good idea."
Romeo take the hand of one of the pregnant women and begins to lead her on the trail he cut.
Rigging Wednesday October 4th, 2006 8:26:31 AM
Rigging says, "Scoop up the glowing items. Check the Abominations for loot and then we are our of here.
Lets get the ladies together." Rigging struggles through the underbrush calling Swirl to him. "Feeling any better big guy?"
He then looks to the others and says, "Lets no linger folks. This is still their woods."
Rigging moves over to camoflauged stranger and and says, "Who are you? Thanks for you timely aid but who are you?"
Val (-2/ 139) Wednesday October 4th, 2006 10:56:07 AM
As the blinding anger fades so does the strength and bliss it brought. Pain wracked her body with an intensity that rivaled all she has felt in her long life. It lasted only a fraction of a moment but to her it felt like an eternity. She shrank rapidly as the magic granting her size and additional strength faded as rapidly as it was bestowed. She dropped to her knees before falling beneath the thick jungle brush.
Ashira 2d8(7+5)+3=15 Wednesday October 4th, 2006 12:21:29 PM
Watching Val fall, Ashira is fast to respond. She is at the barbarian's side in a heartbeat. Fishing out a potion, she quickly pours it down Val's throat (CMW for 15 points). She hold's Val's broken form as the healing takes place, gently stroking her hair. "Hey little sister, wake up. It's over, we won! You were fantastic! But we've got to go now." The closeness reminds her of times gone by when she and Val were indeed sisters. I time she sorely misses.

"The axe, get the axe." Val muttered as she regained semi-consciousness. The golden glowing axe had fallen out of her hand once she hit the ground.

DM Jim: Friends in Strange Places Wednesday October 4th, 2006 7:56:26 PM
Appolo realizes that the pit he was in was not a quickly dug tap. There were reinforcing logs holding up the side. The pit traps seem to have been constructed with care.
Ashira get Val conscious after her struggle with the Abomination. There are still burns and bruises that cover the barbarian's body.
Various Wildcards pick up the magic axe, scimitar and two arrows. There are small bags of rough cut diamonds on those Yuan Ti that were hard to fell.
------------------------ Roll DC 12 intelligence check to remember something interesting about the diamonds, all except Cosmo. -------------------------
Mykael helps the surviving women get back to the village. It is almost too much for them and they collapse at the sight of the clearing.
Ghem keep watch over the group from the treetops.
Romeo lead the group on his freshly cut trail toward the castaway village. Romeo points our several snares and trips wires for the group to avoid. Romeo is very careful with the pregnant women, helping each carefully around the hastily constructed traps.
Once at the village, Romeo helps everyone out of the jungle, but does not venture into the village. The well camouflaged human seems reluctant to leave his perceived safety of the jungle.
Rigging contacts Swirl and he does not seem to start feeling better until the group reaches the village. "Those are some nasty snakes." Swirl answers with a mental shudder.
Romeo helps a pregnant women sit down and looks to Rigging. "I am Romeo and I have been stranded here,....., for a good two years. Dodging Kaa and his crew the whole time. I was shipwrecked just like you. We holed up in our ship and fought the Snakes. At least until Hiss showed up and burned us out. I have witnessed it several times since then. I was hopeful once I saw you strike out into the jungle as I though you might have a fighting chance. I am willing to assist you, if you can help me with a problem of my own. I have a few families hidden that I want off this cursed rock and you look like the best option to date."
Romeo looks around the battered group "What is your plan now? I am sure Kaa and Hiss will be back in the morning. They had a squad on the way up and their messenger group in reserve."
Rigging looks at Romeo and then at his hurt and battered friends. "First I want to thank you for your aid. Since you have lived here for as long as you have, I am sure you can advise us on some tactics. We have a ship filled with sailors and what is left of the town holed up on the beach. We can't leave because of damage done to our ship. Is it safe to leave them there? Or should we move everyone into the jungle?
We need to heal and recharge our spells. We aren't ready for battle tonight, but should be better off in the morning. I am inclined to go hunting and trying to thin there numbers some more. With you as a guide, we might be able to find a battlefield better suited to us.
Also anything you can tell us about their numbers, where they live, and how we can hurt them would be appreciated.
Finally we need to understand this island better. The pyramids seem to affect magic in a negative way. We haven't been able to rely upon our spells. What do you know about that?"
Val Wednesday October 4th, 2006 11:25:26 PM
Pain wracked her body from head to toe. Her body was coated with sweat and blood. Some her own, some not. Val sat up and pulled off the top half of her elven chain before lying back down upon the ground. Even through the anger and rage she remembered Gargul's touch. Was the god of death about to claim her as well? Before she collapsed in the jungle how close was she to death? Val wasn't sure she wanted to know.
Ashira Thursday October 5th, 2006 12:16:38 AM
The ranger looks over at Val, knowing how tired the barbarian must be...and knowing full well what it's like to be in Gargul's very presence. She rubs the tattoo on her forehead absently as she offers Val her waterskin. "I don't know whether the village or the Sword will be safe...I think we would just end up inviting an attack. But the jungle sounds just as dangerous, since it's their home turf. We need to build up our spells, that's for sure." She looks at Rigging. "I don't think it'd be a good idea to press the battle tonight." Her eyes flicker over to Romeo. "But my husband is right. They will come to us, of that I have no doubt. So, could you help us find an area where we would have the advantage?" Ashira begins to run the battle back in her mind's eye, analyzing the little details...the times when the Wildcards seemed in control, as well as the times when things went badly. She's slowly working on a stratagy to take out the Yuan Ti.
Val Thursday October 5th, 2006 12:40:55 AM
Val takes the offered waterskin and sits up once more. A healthy drink helps quench her thirst which makes her feel a little better. Her wounds still needed tending to but she was too tired to care.
"The Yuan Ti will focus more heavily upon me next time. Somebody else should weild the golden axe in the next battle. They fear the weapon and the wounds it inflicts upon them are great."

Bart collect with the others the valuables from the battlefield. I propose to stay in the village for the night. Or do you have a better proposal Sir? By the way my name is Bart.
Appolo Thursday October 5th, 2006 12:32:39 PM
Appolo walks over to Valanthe still hurting pretty bad."Come on sunshine let me help you up.It's time to go home back to the ship."He helps Valanthe to her feet.
Appolo then looks back at the others"Sorry folks can't stay here.This place is indfensible withwhat we have left.We need to get back to the sword.Those bozos have seen what we can do and arn't going come back witha couple of squads,They's come back witha battalion if they can.These creatures aren't stpid and they know even though they technically lost the battle,they hurt us real bad.They would love to catch s here tonight exhuasted heavily out number.The ship is our best bet." Appolo will then leave walking back towards the Sword with Valanthe hopefully walking beside him.He's thinking while he walks why didn't the snakes commit the rest of their forces and finish them.Must of lost thier nerve. Anyone looking at him cna tell he is still wounded,he is extremely dirty covered in filth leaves and bugs as he limps away.
Cosmo Thursday October 5th, 2006 1:15:43 PM
"We should get back to the ship. It will provide a better defense than the village in case we are attacked again. I can help get the women back to the ship with my Griffon."
Mykael d20+7=24 d20+7=21 d20+4=11 d20+10=15 d20+5=8 Thursday October 5th, 2006 4:16:10 PM
Once at the village, Mykael drinks some water and turns bucket after bucket of water over himself to cool and wash off.
He brings a bucket of water over to the pregnant ladies to drink from and will pour water over them also to cool and clean them.
He looks around the village for the ones they left here.
"Romeo, have you seen thier village? Nothing like hitting an enemies heart. Does it have fair amount of open ground? How defensive of thier young are they? I am not sure that destroying thier young is what is needed, however, if they are extremely protective of them, and we threaten thier young. Then we have an advantage. We need to force them to fight us on open ground, if at all possible."
DM Jim: Questions Answered Thursday October 5th, 2006 5:22:04 PM
OOC: Please list your hit points until you are fully cured
--------------------------------
Rigging remembers that the Fire Giants and Satyr's each had similar rough-cut diamonds. Mykael is sure to know more.
------------------
Mykael DC 15 gemcutting skill for more information.
--------------------
At Cosmo's offer to ride his Griffon, all of the women decline. "I would rather walk, where ever we are going." Another adds "Not in my condition."
Nezamil cures Rigging, but there is much more healing needed to get the crew back up an in proper fighting condition. Captain Rigging asks for option and several Wildcards suggest returning to the Sword.
Romeo just shakes his head. "Your ship will be magnet for every arrow and spell they have. As I said they Yuan Ti have destroyed many a well defended beached ship, mine included. Hiss is an expert at their destruction."
Romeo turns to Rigging "Most of the year there are only a few score of YT on the island as it is used for ceremonies and the like. You picked the boon time, as there are now 300 -- 400 here and ready to feast on human flesh. There are three tribes here now. The adders, hood, and diamond backs waiting for the human hunt that you just disrupted."
Romeo looks up at the stone pyramid. "The pyramids seem to convert magical energy into transportation energy. The YT have a friend of mine at their main village and they are using him against his will to open the pyramid gates. If I could get close enough, I would kill him, but I can't. I would hope he would do the same for me. They keep him chained by the base of the pyramid. They ate his legs the last time he acted up."
Romeo kneels down next to one of the pregnant females and helps her lie down. "It looks like your time is coming fast."
-------------------------------
OOC: I will be posting late for the next several days. I will also post Sunday night, please post accordingly.
Please post for the next few hour, at least until dark.
Val (13/ 139) Thursday October 5th, 2006 5:33:56 PM
As if the day couldn't get worse. With three to four hundred yaun ti on the island the battle they had this morning is meerly an inconvenience to them. While they barely survived.
"Well doesn't this just suck. We can't even get the proper supplies to deal with these vermin. Too bad they don't have a local catacombs branch." Val joked.
Rigging 37/77 Thursday October 5th, 2006 10:35:13 PM
Rigging listens to the others and then hears the words of the pregnant women refusing the ride on the griffon. For some reason, he sees red. He snaps at her and then the others, "You will do as I command. If I tell you to get on the griffon, you will. Have you looked at what your stupidity has done. We almost all died rescuing you from snakemen. If you had come to the ship when we requested the first time, this wouldn't have happened. We wouldn't have had to race after them falling into their battlefield. Noooo. You lost your right to object. Now you will obey."
The moment of anger seems to clear Rigging's mind. "OK we get the ladies back to their friends in the village. We let them work their way back to the ship on their own, like we first planned. I will contact Thomas with a whispering wind spell to let them know they are coming. We will send Ghem and Swirl as a high guard to watch over them. Thomas can send an escort to help them to the ship. Cosmo normally I would send you back to cover as well but I want you resting and getting your spells back.
I don't want to go to the ship. I am sure it is being watched. I want them to think they can take the ship whenever they want. Let them come after us. We are the Wildcards. We are the threat. We have driven off their hunt. They know we aren't just ordinary sailors. We can defend ourselves. I have a feeling they will be falling over themselves to hunt us.
Romeo, I want to hear more about your friend. Is he a wizard. If he is powering the pyramids, then either we rescue him or kill him but we must take that power out of the snakemen's hands. That is our first goal. Still we must rest and heal now. Can you take us to a safe place to do that?
Nezamil, finish off your spells healing the fighters first. We need their swords. The battle will fall heaviest on them this time. Until we can figure out how to use our spells, they are suspect."
Rigging stand up, "Nezamil, start healing, then we bring the ladies to their friends and then we bring the fight to them."
Ashira Friday October 6th, 2006 12:34:46 AM
The ranger whinces at Rigging's tone. Diplomacy was always really his department, but it seemed of late he was getting...testy. Maybe that's my fault. I have been pretty distant to him...
Ashira taps her chin thoughtfully. She's reviewed the battle, and she thinks she's come up with a few ideas. She scans the immediate area suspeciously. As various ideas are tossed around, she raises her hand for silence. She searches the jungle and looks for a small stick, and then she stoops down and begins writing on the dirt. "I think the enemy might be listening..." Pause and erase "They seem to know a lot about us..." Pause and erase "And they think they're better..." Pause and erase "We should use that against them..." Pause and erase "Camp out in the jungle..." Pause and erase "Make ourselves look like a good target..." Pause and erase "But make lots of nice traps for them..." Pause and erase "Magical ones. And then we pretend to be healing.." Pause and erase "Make them come to us. Make them pay dearly..." Pause and erase "And then we ignore the cannon fodder..." Pause and erase "And focus on the diamondback and the cobra." Pause and erase. Ashira then steps away from the dirt and hands the stick to anyone who might want to say something.
Mykael (17/56) d20+10=11 Friday October 6th, 2006 12:42:12 AM
OOC: Rolled Gem cutting before got a 15, rerolled now cause you asked... got an 11.
What about the villagers that survived? are they in the village? or is thier signs they left for the ship on thier own? or just nothing?
IC: Mykael watches Riggings temper-tantrum and resists the urge to step in.
He looks from Rigging to Romeo, "We shouldnt hide. If they cant find us, then they will take it out on the ship and crew. Minimum, would be just an attempt to lure us to fight, and worst case would be to destroy it, the crew, and still lure us out. Best for us to either stay on the ship to recoup, where we can protect her. Or, we choose a base elsewhere, but not exactly hard to find. Preferably, defensable."
"To decide on a course of action, we will need you to draw up or show us a complete map of all the islands, and thier city. There has to be a way for us to inflict serious damage. Tactics, Romeo... Give us all you know please, draw it out."
Bart hp 24/86 Friday October 6th, 2006 1:27:37 AM
Romeo do you know a place we can fight them where we are in the advantage an open area in the jungle for example. In the jungle it was too difficult to use all my skills

With a nod at the Captain "aye Captain will do....warriors first indeed"
The Cleric of Domi eyes the walking wounded and decides Val is the most hurt and the most deserving.
With a deft touch Nezamil lays a hand on her shoulder and whispers a few prayers which infuses the elven warrior with much needed health (spontanously casting 2 -3rd level,4-2nd lvl,2-1st lvl spells inplace of remaining spells)(total cured to Val is 122 hps)
"i'm glad your still with us "smiles Nezamil "your strength and courage helped save all of us "
The Cleric of Domi then seeks out Bart and fishes out a wand "hold still brother this won't hurt " grins Nezamil as he taps the big warrior 4 times (total cured to Bart is 66 pts)(4 charges used)
Making his rounds to help heal the Wildcards Rigging (4 charges for 42 pts) Mykael (3 charges for 29 pts) Appolo (4 charges for 56pts) (15 charges used +6 used earlier for total of 21 charges)
After taking care of the wounds to his fellow wildcards he pays some attention to the pregnant women and uses (cure minor wound one hit pt)(up to 6 spells used on the women)
While resting from his healing Nezamil listens to Ashira's ideas " many good ideas " as he nods at her writing and takes her writing stick " what about our new friend ?" "i prefer to attack " grins Nezamil "but we need to know more about their tactics " as he looks at Romeo "need time to replenish our spells " "and we glow in the dark " "yeah target the leaders 1st" with a nod at Ashira
The big dwarf drops the writing stick

As the magical energy flows through her body Val sighs as the pain fades quickly. It seems Gargul will have to wait a little longer to claim her soul. Val stands with a smile and gives the big dwarf a hug.
"We have to do something. They adapted quickly in battle to counter our strengths. They used excellent teamwork and tactics. Is there someway we could make this island colder?"
Appolo Hp 68/68 Friday October 6th, 2006 11:36:05 AM
Appolo instantly feels better when he is healed by Nezamil"Thank you my friend I needed that.Now can we head back to the ship the jungle is filled with well prepared pit traps and anumerically superior enenemy.This village and the surrounding clearing is must to large to be properly defended and I guarretee you when the snakes come back they are going come with everything they gotI say we head back .Put to sea and make the snakes think we are leaving then find somewhere else to beack or anchor the ship we then camofluage it as best we can and move out to attack the snakes from a different direction."He says this as he walks back to the group.
Bart (healed) Friday October 6th, 2006 12:19:08 PM
Thanks Nez, I am ready for action. We need a better tactic to fight the yuanti first i taught they where a laugh, they are actually, but there abonimations are much dangerous. With a few blows the snakes are dead but the abonimation are casting dangerous spells
Rigging Illegal post Friday October 6th, 2006 1:08:13 PM
Appolo, I like your plan except for one flaw. We have a big hole in the back of the boat right now. We are trying to fix it but until it is repaired, we aren't going anywhere.
Rigging is pleased that his team isn't as emotionally beat up as he is. Seeing his friends and family hacked by swords, pierced by arrows, falling into traps and wracked by spells is stressful for him. Especially since they have entrusted him to lead them.
Bart (ill post) Friday October 6th, 2006 3:31:14 PM
Maybe our friend could help us with that maybe he knows where we can find some decent wodd maybe some parts of stranded ships
Val Friday October 6th, 2006 3:53:23 PM
"I don't think we will have time to worry about that. Right now there are several hundred angry serpents wanting to eat us. Their festival has been ruined and they have been bloodied. If we have a day before they attack again I will be suprised."
Dm Jim: Plotting & Planning Friday October 6th, 2006 8:25:16 PM
OOC: Please list your hit points until you are fully cured
----------------------------------------
Mykael, upon closer examination of the new cache of diamond and the ones he retained from the fire giants, it appears they are from the same mine. The faceting and impurities seem to be the same, how interesting.
Rigging lays down the law with the female and one is very indignant "Well I just never!". On the whole the pregnant women start to rise and get themselves organized for the trudge to the ship.
Nezamil cures burns through his remaining spells and then hits his wand hard as he attempts to get the Wildcards back in fighting order. Several of the pregnant females thank Nezamil for his blessing "Thank you kind sir." And "Please bless my baby too."
Romeo just shakes his head again at Riggings treatment of the pregnant women. "I must ask that you not treat my wives like that as their rescue is also needed. I will escort the ladies to your ship, just in case one goes into labor." Romeo looks to Ashira and Val "Unless either of you two are more qualified as a midwife, which would not be hard?"
Romeo looks back at Rigging "You are correct. I expect that the YT will track you and your officers as they will view it as a challenge and you hold the axe. Not to mention all of the magic you carry." Romeo shields his eyes as Riggings blink and wizardry rings momentarily blind him. "If you want an open area to fight the YT you do not have a better one than this village. I see the only other option is a beach."
Romeo's shoulders slump when Rigging asks about his friend. "No he is a Sorcerer. I try to check up on him monthly, from a distance and it does not look good for him. Peter is not really guarded, but his kept on their main pyramid in an amongst several hundred YT, he is chained or something, and then there are his legs they ate." Romeo shudders.
Ashira finds a new way to communicate and Nezamil also picks up on it.
----------------------------
500 experience points to Ashira.
------------------------------- Bart also asks Romeo for ground that is more open "The mountain has a less thick jungle, but it slopes are very wet. There are less YT up by the diamond mine, the area is mostly for very bloody ceremonies, which I am sure they were planning."
Val wonders about making the island colder?
Appolo ponders about defending the village. Romeo adds "The YT will not be able to overwhelm us, at least not right away as it takes two days to walk here, even on their secret trails. There were forces en route, but not the entire village. I am sure they were alerted by Kaa's cursed magical parrot."
Romeo begins to escort the ladies to the Sword and he calls back "See you after dark. Where do you plan to be? And do not have a fire, ah forget it, you are carrying too much magic, have a bonfire, just beware of flame strikes."
----------------------------------
OOC: I will be posting late for the next several days. I will also post Sunday night, please post accordingly.
Val Saturday October 7th, 2006 12:50:17 PM
"Soory Romeo I've never helped deliver a baby before. Never had the opportunity. I'll take the first watch tonight. Maybe I can see a snake or two and put an arrow into them."

Surveying the now healed up Wildcards then down at his bloodied armor " guess its time for a little self help " grins Nezamil
With the wand in hand he then taps himself several times ( 5 charges for 67 total)
"we need to rest Captain.....here at the village or you have someplace else in mind ??"
" where ever it is we need to scout out our defensive position and setup a defensive or attacking plan "
"hmm they use the sorcerer to power the pyramids....maybe thats what they intend to do with our spell users .....add their power to the pyramids"
"whoever stays on guard duty tonight try and keep an eye out for that parrot !"
The Cleric will walk about the village and scope out a good place to build a defensive wall...trying to make it a square "(200'ft long 10 'ft high)= (50'-50'-50'-50' witha entrance at one end shield by the villagers huts
"now they cannot see what we up to " laughs Nezamil " hopefully that should give them more variables to think about "
"now lets get behind the wall ....see if we can build a couple shooting platforms in the corners and such "

Ashira (AC27, HP 108/112) Saturday October 7th, 2006 9:58:44 PM
Before Romeo leaves, Ashira approaches him. "There is someone at the ship I need. Ask for John. Tell him to come back with you tonight and to bring the wand. A red head girl named Mary will try and come too. Tell her it's not her time." Ashira bends over the ground, sketching out various stratagies for taking out the Yuan Ti. She consults Rigging and Val from time to time.
Bart Sunday October 8th, 2006 1:57:08 PM
Bart looks at the sketches and add some of himself too, he agrre to focus on the diamond back and the abonimations. keeping the main flock away with webs
Rigging 77/77 Sunday October 8th, 2006 6:58:21 PM
Rigging was thinking about retreating into the jungle but decides to stay in the village with Nezamil's wall for now.
OK we need to try and get some rest but will need a watch schedule. I want the spell users to get some sleep so they can regain their spells. Bart, Appolo, Ghem, Val and Swirl will have to keep us safe for now.
Rigging scribbles a note to Tomas giving him a brief rundown on the battle and assuring that everyone is alright. He orders the ship repairs to continue and constant vigilence."
Rigging says to Romeo, "I know you are used to moving about this island but be careful out there. The snakemen are stirred up."
Rigging will turn to the others and say, "OK lets do a quick snake check of the area inside the wall. I want every snake you see dead. Bout time we ate some of them for dinner. I want a close eye kept on that pyramid also. They might teleport to it."
Rigging after doing his share of the snake hunt will try and get some shut eye.
Cosmo (AC 19; HP 54/57); Griffon (AC 17; HP 59/59) Sunday October 8th, 2006 8:03:29 PM
"I need rest Rigging. My spells are real low. I will not be of much use if we are attacked again before morning."
"I agree. We need to stay away from the ship. Make the snake men come after us. We are the bigger threat and unfortunately the bigger prize if they can capture or kill one or more of us."

After concluding the planning session, Ashira joins in on the snake hunt and then hunkers down for a little bit of sleep. She sets up a watch schedule, making sure that Rigging, Nezamil and Cosmo get a full night's rest.
Sweet Dreams---ADM Nellie Tuesday October 10th, 2006 12:13:28 AM
Temporary camp is made, and everyone relaxes behind Nezamil's strong stone walls. Watches are posted, and the evening passes quietly...perhaps too quietly. No snakes are found within the stone wall area, but a couple are found in nearby trees and quickly dispatched and roasted. Were they Yuan Ti in disguise? The Wold may never know...but they do taste pretty good.
Sun sets, and the Wildcards are warmed by their fire, which gives off only slightly more light than the glowing magic that they carry. Around 3 am, Romeo arrives with John. The couple look very sweaty and have a few scratches. "The forest is thick with snakes tonight! I wonder why?" Romeo chuckles quietly. "No real resistance, but I'd bet my left foot that it won't be long before they attack. If you're planning something, you better get moving soon."
OOC: Hey everybody, Jim says he doesn't have internet access this week, so I guess I'll be ADMing for you again.

I suggest we go on patrol, and see if we can lure them to this wall
Rigging Tuesday October 10th, 2006 12:43:14 PM
Rigging wakes up and grabs his spellbooks perusing the pages. He will have Swirl dart around the walls and outside of them looking for snakes and possible spies. He also want the presense of Swirl to be normal.
Rigging says to Nezamil in a whisper in his ear, "Remember to study a least one true seeing spell, but two would be preferred."
Rigging sits down with Romeo and questions, "How is everything on the ship? Is it going well? No problems with the pregnant ladies?"
Rigging slides closer and cups a hand to Romeo's ear, "We are going to try and eliminate as many spies as we can this morning. We then want to start working our way over toward the YT's camp and see if we can help your friend escape. Do you think you could safely guide us? How long of a journey is it?"

After the long running battle and infusion of Domi's healing into his fellow Wildcards ....Nezamil sleeps soundly thru the night .....trusting his friends to their tasks.
Awakening at dawn Nezamil gathers his equipment and listens to Captain Riggings and advice ....nodding at his words while holding up one finger then pointing to the wall surrounding them and holds up one finger again .
With a warm smile to Ranger John and Romeo"good to have another couple good men with us "
"so whats the plan Captain ?"
Sitting on the ground the Cleric of Domi picks up a couple pebbles then starts to meditate and pray .
Val AC 19, HP 127/ 127 d20+6=10 Tuesday October 10th, 2006 5:11:37 PM
So much for staying on watch, Val thinks as she slips on her armor. Her obsidian skin clashed with the mithril links that made up her armor. Her long red-gold hair was fixed in a bun. Something more suited for battle. She really wanted a hot bath but now was not the time nor the place.
Not long after she got her armor off and cleaned did she slip off into reverie. She was so tired from the days events that it could not be helped. Even after the healing magic that rapidly closed her wounds, Val's limbs were heavy. Her body ached from the stress it endured and no amount of magic would make it go away. Nobody could understand the toll ,both physically and mentally, that giving into the anger caused. It was harder now, to enter a rage, than it was before. Being a warrior fueld by anger and rage requires a specific mental state. You must trust your instincts and not overthink the situation. For when the rage gives strength and takes away pain it claims your mind as well. One does not think in rage, you simply react. It can be a boon or a bane. Which it was, Val never knew until it was over. She should have died this time. Why Gargul did not claim her she did not know. Did it have something to do with the Fae King and his mark she carries?
With her armor securely fastened, Val slipped the enchanted quiver on her back. Chances are she would not need her bow but she couldn't risk not having it on her. The bow had incredible distance. So much that she had trouble even seeing targets at the edge of its range. She secured the golden axe to her side and pulled her bow out of the quiver's side pocket. Val rested an arrow against the string and walked out from behind the stone walls cover. She looked for spies hiding in the jungle. Her eyesight at night was as sharp as it was during the day. An advantage she hoped to use against the serpents.
Val dropped into a crouch in one of the shadows of a stone wall. With no enemies in sight Val allows her thoughts to wander. Much has happened in the short time they have been on this island. The yuan-ti have given her much to think about as have her own actions. They were no longer part of the pirates of jack and haven't tried to interfere with Ga'al's plans in some time. Once they delt with the yuant-ti, and assuming she lived, what would her purpose be? Would would all their purposes be? Would they still try to build a port city on this island? Could they even repair the ship and leave this place? There were so many serious problems and they couldn't even be addressed. Not when it looked as if they wouldn't survive the day.

When Kohn and Romeo arrived he let them pass without a word.Just watches them enter the compound witha shrug.
Mykael (46/59) Tuesday October 10th, 2006 10:58:14 PM
Mykael wakes and washes himself with water, gets a drink and some food. He smiles at the slumbering Ghem, who stayed awake quite a bit of the night watching over the group.
He begins to study his spells quietly. He will give a cross look to anyone who makes too much noise and will motion toward the little dragon if they inquire.
Mykael studies his spells and gathers his equipment. He brings food and water to Ghem, just before the group is ready to head out and wakes him in enough time to eat something.

The ranger rises early and scans the jungle (Spot=15, Listen=15). She breathes in the cool morning air. If she didn't know that a life and death struggle was ahead of them, it would be a perfect day. She spends several moments of time in contemplation, readying her spells for the day.

Romeo gives Rigging a flicker of a smile. "Well, that ship of yours has seen better days...it's beached and has several big holes in it...but other than that, things look ok, I guess. And yes, my wives made it back with no problems." he whispers. When Rigging mentions the Yuan Ti village, Romeo frowns as he continues to whisper. "I can get us there. It's about 2 hours travel by foot. Just hope you know what you're doing. There are a lot of snakemen out there."
Spells are prepared, weapons readied and everyone anxiously prepares for what lies ahead.
OOC: All right, time for the snake hunt. I need spot checks and any spells, etc. you might want to cast. I'll post tonight if everyone can get their posts in before 11pm EST.
Bart Wednesday October 11th, 2006 11:57:56 AM
Bart prepares for battle. He looks after his sword and armor, making sure everything is n tiptop condition. When they leave the camp he is in third or second place (guess Ashira and Val are leading the group)
Rigging Wednesday October 11th, 2006 2:21:01 PM
(OOC Just doing conversation right now. Will post actions tonight.)
Rigging says to Romeo in a whisper hand cupped to his ear, "I am looking to avoid a fight right now. We need more information, not an increased body count. I want to look over the village, see if we can either rescue your friend and shut down the pyramids if possible. Today is about information, not battle hopefully."
Rigging will call the others around and start writing on a parchment.
"I want to have Nezamil cast a true seeing on Swirl. He will then try to locate the spies in snake form. If they are out in the open he should see them. He will tell me who they are and then we will attack them hopefully killing them off.
We then, following Romeo, will check out their village. Appolo, Ashira and myself will do the recon. That means losing your magic or placing it in a sack so the glow doesn't show. The rest of you will be nearby ready to rescue us if we get into trouble.
I am hopeful that if we can kill off the spies or at least drive them off, we can be more effective until the reaquire us."
Nezamil Wednesday October 11th, 2006 4:21:21 PM
The 10'1 dwarf finishes his prayers and meditation.......still sitting he gazes about their walled fortifaction .
Nezamil stands up and begins casting a series of spells invoking Domi's protection from the jungle's heat ...he proceeds to infuse the warriors Ashira,Val,Bart and himself (casting endure elements 24 hr duration)
Handing Val a vial " this should help protect you when we engage in battle again (shield of faith + 2 Ac)
With a nod at Captain Rigging "i'm ready to cast that spell whenever you ready "
Nezamil touches his anvil holy symbol and says a quick prayer and reaches out to touch the air elemental....infusing true sight to it "search and destroy my friend " chuckles Nezamil
Val AC 19, HP 127/ 127 (Endure Elements) d20+6=22 d20+9=18 Wednesday October 11th, 2006 5:23:05 PM
As the magic flows into her body Val sighs as the discomfort fades like the morning fog to the rising sun. The heat and fatigue will be as much of a threat as any blade the snake men weild. She wished that everybody was protected by the dwarfs magic but he had his limits.
"How long will it last?" Val asked the giant dwarf as she tucks the vial into a pocket.
Val turned and gazed at the jungle once more. Uncertainty filled her as strongly as it ever had. Her luck will not hold out forever. Choices she made now would depend on who lives and who dies. A bow is a great tactical advantage on the battlefield. However the jungle reduces a skilled shot to chance. Could she risk an arrow not hiting its mark? Val sighed, this time it was from frustration and not satisfaction. She slipped the arrow into the quiver and the bow into the side pocket. Val pulled the golden axe from her side, fingers tightening around the leather grip.

Everyone heals one HP per level for the eight hours of sleep!!!! You may need it!
------------------------------------------
The Wildcards go through their morning rituals and recover arcane and divine spells in preparation for a new day on Snake Island or at least that is what Romeo is calling it.
The morning is dawning bright and glorious. There is plenty of water for the group and there is still fish and fruit in the villager's pavilion. There is some left over snake to eat from last night as the hunt was too easy.
Romeo goes over more details in response to the groups' questions. "About a hard 2 hour hike into the jungle is a well concealed path that the YT use to get to their Human hunt kill zones. All of you stumbled across one yesterday. After that it is about a two day walk to the YT main village, not a nice place. Also, I never travel on the YT path as I never know who is watching."
Romeo continues when asked about his wives "I save one female from each batch that arrives and stash her in one of my many hiding places around the island. I currently have three wives and one son. Kaa is merciless in hunting my families and has claimed two recently. My other two wives are with child. It does not take much here, the YT have perfected human husbandry. I have to wean my wives off of the YT foods and it takes some time."
-----------------------------
The top of the pyramid flashes with the magical light of blue and white and the group can see the top of the stone pyramid is now crowded with YT and a few humans. The Purebloods and Halfbloods seem surprised, as do the humans. There are four humans, three females and one male. All of the female humans have long hair that is blowing in the light breeze at the top of the pyramid.
---------------------
DC 17 spot to notice that the human is Ari, except Cosmo DC 21 spot to notice a Satyr on top of the crowded pyramid in addition to the 4 humans 6 halfbloods and 2 purbloods.
---------------------
All of the YT draw scimitars and the three ladies SCREAM!
The armed human male on top of the pyramid starts to glow as he seems to be carrying a lot of magic.
The group is 200 feet from the bottom of the stone pyramid. The square stone pyramid has four levels and there are wide (15 feet) stairs on each side. Each level rises at least 15 feet.
Appolo Ac 19{23} Hp 68 d20+10=23 Friday October 13th, 2006 6:08:03 PM
Appolo looks up at the top of the Pyramid,when the light flashes."Well I'll be G'aal.Look it's Ari and one of those stupid satyr's.Now if this doesn't beat all."That said Appolo disappears into his hut.He will take a couple of minutes to put his magical armour and weapons on for this battle.

Ashira is shocked at the sudden arrival of the creatures and...could that be Ari (Spot=18)?? Swords out and shield floating and ready to go, Ashira begins to charge up the pyramid. "Alright folks, remember the plan. Appolo, you're with me. Val, some advance fire would be nice. Bart you link up with Sunshine once she's done. Cosmo. I'd appreciate some of your special friends. Let's go folks!!"

(free one minute) Val mutters curses under hrea breath and hooks the golden axe back on her hip once more. If she only trusted her instincts then some snakes would be stuck and bleeding right now. Her arm reaches back and grabs the bow out of her quivers enchanted pocket. The bow was finely crafted and enchanted with magic to greatly increase distance. After some time with the bow Val isn't sure that the bow is right for her. While an incredible weapon it feels slightly off in her grip.
(round 1) "I'm on it." She says in elvish without realising it. Val notches an arrow and fires it off. A second later another arrow flies, followed by another and another.
ooc: spot check 23. The bow has the distance enchantment. While I'm not positive on the numbers I'm sure 200ft is short range. Val is using rapid shot and firing all the arrows at a halfblood.

DM Jim: Swirl see plenty of trees with his tree seeing spell.....and nothing else out of the ordinary.
The top of the pyramid is very crowded and you do not see well being on the ground. Swirl may have a better view in my next post, dependin on what he does.

Rigging yells, "Watch the flanks! Keep together!" Rigging takes a look up and sees the humans but doesn't recognize Ari, but does see the Saytr. "Looks like the Saytr is bringing them more breeding stock. I want his head!"
Rigging will take a double move towards the pyramid

I'm also assuming that we had not entered into combat just yet as I had just finished climbing to the top of the pyramid.
IC-
Keeping a defensive position, Ari takes a quick inventory of what just happened.
Just when he was going to ask for this Satyr to hand over the three ladies, it seems some kind of teleporting got triggered.
He still had after images floating about him with all the snake people that had at one time been surrounding the temple. It almost made him sick thinking about what almost happened to these women.
Not knowing what has happened in the strictest of sense, Ari still says, "You can no longer trade for these women."

Cosmo is listening to Romeo talk of his wives and the island when the light flashes at the top of the pyramid. Turning towards it he looks up and sees a large group up there.
"On top of the pyramid. More snake creatures with some humans and a Satyr. What's a Satyr doing here?"
Spot 23
Cosmo quickly casts Mage Armor spell, beefing up his defense. He also casts an Alter Self spell, turning himself into a Troglodyte which toughens his skin and increases his speed.
Concentration 33 & 31
OOC -- Can you tell us the concentration check procedure so we can post the success or failure within our post.
Reviewing his current spells, Cosmo only has a few that will go over 200+ feet to reach the snakemen and not harm the humans. He does have one that he does not get to cast that often and decides now may be a good time. An acid arrow springs from his finger tips and slams into one of the half bloods.

The wildcards finish their normal daily preparations when they notice the light show on top of the pyramid.
Several of the Wildcards notice Ari and the ladies in a tight spot. Questions about how and why will have to wait for later as it looks busy up top.
Val fires off four shots, but only 2 hit (15 damage).

Rigging, Romeo and Mykael moves toward the pyramid (120 feet way)
Appolo and Ashira run to the pyramid (40 feet from the base)
Nezamil moves over to support Val.
Cosmo as the smelly trog fires of an acid arrow the has the half blood hisss loud.
Swirl beams back that there are 3 women, Ari, 6 halfbloods and 3 pure bloods on top of the pyramid, the Satyr just started down the far stairs.
------------------------------
Two of the young long haired females are pushed off the top and fall close to 20 feet with a sickening thud. The two women do not seem to be moving.
A half blood grabs the third and uses her as a shield to the approaching wildcards. The women is screaming bloody murder!!!
Several Yaun Ti take swings at Ari.
Three hits for 29 damage. One critical.
One of the snake headed half bloods hisses at Ari "There will be no ssaving you or your cowss, meatssack!"
Two half bloods and one pure blood change weapons and move down to the next level. The three of the look for targets with their bows.

Val curses as two of her arrows miss their mark. She should have been practicing long before now. Firing so fast at one target in a crowd of people was harder than it sounded. Which was something since it sounded like a difficult feat. Still Val would not give up. She kept pulling arrows from the quiver, firing them off as fast as she could.

Amazed that these creatures weren't disoriented with the shifting about, Ari grits his teeth in pain from the three attacks. (OOC I misread something in the last post, that's my bad). Ari wonders whether this marks the end of his days on the planet. (Not realizing who or what is around and near him).
Knowing that he's in dire straights Ari tries to clear the air around him. "See what happens when someone can fight back". Pulling his swords Ari swings at the new monsters that he's never faced before (HB's). Realizing that the monsters just killed people who are innocent Ari lets all his anger speak though his swords. As each stroke is swung Ari says , "Have you ever felt the bite of a blessed sword" swing, "or seen what it can do" swing, "or the pain of fire?" swing.
(ooc Can I take my favored enemy now? If so I think I can add +2 to damage to each hit. I may have to talk to you about the variations you can do with the +'s)
(AC 15 for 8 points of damage, another 9 if evil) (AC 17 for 4 points of damage, another 9 if evil) (AC 17 for 9 points of damage and 5 points of fire damages)
(Ari needs to clear the Air around him before he can cast any spells. So I will continue to attack with swords with whichever one appears to do more damage. But if there are no hits he'll continue with the holy sword as the primary)

"Forget about the Satyr, there are innocents and Ari to save!"
Ghem, get up high and on the other side of the big stone pyramid. Watch for Yuan Ti coming to help. And dont lose the Goatman that is running. If he keeps going and gets out of range, let me know. I may want you to follow him.

Rigging sees Ari getting cut apart and decides to take a spell from Redux's spellbook. He raises a hand and launches a fireball at the top of the pyramid, centered on Ari. It explodes around him doing 34 points of damage to all creatures in the area. (DC 17 vs reflex)
Swirl does a flyby attack on PB2 from the rear staying out of the way of the fireball. He charges from the behind and bullrushes PB2 trying to knock him off the pyramid. Bullrush attack results 16.

Val continues to fire her bow and the half blood that just took out his bow falls foward and lands on his head, one level down, his melon looks cracked not to mention all of the arrow sticking out of him.
Bart, Cosmo, Appolo, Ashira, John (The outlined glowing ball), Nezamil, and Mykael all run forward, looking to help their old friend in trouble.
Rigging lags behind and cast a fireball.
----------------------------
Ari decides it is time to fight back.
Ari lands three blows on the acid injured half blood and he slumps out of the melee. The half blood is fighting to remain concious.
----------------------------
The Yaun Ti look to exact revenge on the Wildcards.
The surviving bowmen (PB & HB) shoot at those running up the stairs.
The three arrows bounce harmlessly off of Mykael and Ashira.
Ari is another matter.
All Yuan Ti at the top of the pyramid live and do 23 points of damage to Ari.
Ari roll your save verses Rigging's fireball to see if you live.
Spell resistance 16 for the YuanTi holding the scorched remains of his female hostage. He lives and drops the dead body down on the next lower level.

Jim by centering the fireball on Ari, I don't think I would have hit the woman. Did my fireball seem larger than normal. Also were the YT's affected?
DM Jim: Rigging can not see the top of the pyramid, and only occasional glimps of people. You got a random chance and effected everyone. The pyramid is over 60 feet high so there is no way to aim accurately from your angle.

Ari screams in pain as all the damage rolls across him. (Made save with 22) He vaguely wonders where the fireball came from.
It takes all the will power in him to hold onto his swords with his skin blistering. Thinking the end is near Ari wonders if Alemi approves of him. Ari continues to hack at anything in range.

Spotting the two archers taking aim on her friends, Val adjusts her aim away from the scimitar weilding yuan-ti. Her arms continue to move without slowing. One constant fluid motion of drawing and firing arrows. Val's eyes narrow as she focuses on the pure blood archer. She tries to keep her mind clear and keep the worries out. Did she adjust for the wind properly? Does she need more elevation on her shot? What about the following shots. Can she adjust that quickly? Val holds her breath and clears her mind once more.

The bright blue and white light is still dancing on top of the pyramid for all to see
------------------------
Ari is worried. Blows are raining down on him and so is fire. Ari has too many thoughts flash through his head. Is this the end? Ouch! Will he be able to save the young lasses? Duck! Were those friendly voices he heard earlier or not? Use this snake thing as a shield from the fire, Ouch! Why are all of my magic items glowing, but not my amulet?
At least his foes are take damage too. Some look like they are ready to fall where they stand. Is that Swirl or not up above? Ouch!, that is going to leave a nasty mark.
Ari tears into one of the crispy snake headed creatures, dropping it with two well placed thrusts to the chest.
People seem to be rushing up the pyramid stairs toward Ari. Was that Ashira's blue hair he spotted?
----------------
Swirl beams back to Rigging "Warn me next time you are going to do that." As Swirl breaks off to attack the satyr.
-------------------
OOC: I did not post Swirls action since you amended your post after I posted and added his action. Is Swirl a he?
Acid arrow was done last round as Ari killed th HB.
---------------------
Cosmo can not see HB2 and retargets HB3 and brings him down wit his magical darts. HB3 rolls down on top of the burned and dead female human.
Ashira, Mykael and Appolo, followed by the glowing ball that is the invisible John race up the stairs in an effort to save Ari. Will they get there in time?
The YT closest to the hero's on the stairs drop their bows and draw the scimitars and move forward to block the Wildcards path to the top, and attempt to take a pound of oh so tasty flesh along the way.
Val drops several arrows into the reptilian flesh of the halfblood moving to engage her friends on the stairs. Ashira, Mykael, Appolo and John can only be thankful that the help this time did not come in the form of another fireball!
Mykael strikes out and wounds HB4 before taking a wild swing.
PB slashes at Appolo - misses as the scimitar is turned by all of the rouges magical protections.
HB slashes at Appolo - misses as he can not take advantage of his elevation.
Two HB attack the blue haired ranger. They miss the unmoving misstress of the sword.
Grapple check for the wiley satyr (I used a +9 modifier, by accident, but he still rolled a 16 without "+" so he made the save."
The satyr twists away and takes out his wand and steps away from the dervish.
--------------------------
Ari is still surrounded but by weakened foes with slumped shoulders. They press the attack none the less.
Ari dodges blows left and right, but one finds its way home.
7 damage and Ari slumps.
The Half blood turns and looks to the sound of battle on the stairs.
The two pure bloods grab Ari's arms and start to drag.

Ari HP -4/72 AC 16 Wednesday October 18th, 2006 6:36:38 AM
In a haze of pain Ari doesn't even think about his movements as they can only happen out of instinct. Sometimes instincts can be very powerful although it isn't quite enough to dodge all of the blows that come his way.
In his last moments of consciousness he can only envision what his friends are up to. He's not seen them in a long time. He can just imagine them fighting along side of him and what would have happened had they been here. He almost sees and feels their presence as he slumps to the ground. Not wanting to give up in spirit, but his body can go no further.... and then he dreams.

Rigging advances to the pyramid and starts climbing the stairs to Q37. He pauses and casts scorching ray targeting HB5. Rigging hits HB5 with a touch attack of 22 and 16 (spell resistance roll of 23) The rays burning into the snakeman doing 17 and 18 points of damage each.
Swirl sees the Saytr pull a wand and decides to mimic a move that he saw Val pull on Bart while sparring. Instead of attacking the Saytr, Swirl attacks the weapon trying to knock it from his hand.
Swirl comes out of his whirlwind form and attacks. He hits the Saytr's hand with a disarm attempt. He has a disarm attempt of 26 (base +12, +4 size, -4 for being untrained in it. Taking 10 for the Satyr, I assume it works. Saytr normally only get +2, so unless he gets +14 from somewhere it should be successful.
Swirl then snatches the wand up and holds it above his head moving back 5' from the pissed off Saytr.
If he can't pick it up he follows up with a slam against the saytr hitting ac 26 for 6 points of damage.

The bright blue and white light fades as Ari is dragged out of the big circle on the top of the pyramid. To those on top it seems if some sort of connect has been severed. Ari seems so much like a rag doll, but that this doll is covered in blood and burned.
John becomes visible as the invisibility seems to have run its course.
----------------------------
OOC: Arcane spells that require a concentration check have only a two combat round life on the pyramid, just as if you failed your concentration check.
----------------------------- Cosmo feels that he will not be able to hold his alter self or mage armor much longer.
Swirl lands into the Satyr and steals his wand. Swirl is absolutely beaming happy thoughts back to Rigging. At least until the three small air elemental appear and give chase.
The Satyr takes off for the cover of the jungle.
Mykael tries an old trick and pushes a Half blood down a level, he falls, wind milling his arms, but recovers on the lower level. The half blood seems to hiss all kinds of nastiness at Mykael.
Val makes a Pure blood pay for attacking his friends and he drops to the next lower level same as the half blood that Mykael pushed, although he will never rise again. Landing on his head did not help.
Nezamil and Romeo pace each other up the stairs "Can you keep up there or should we stop half way to rest." Romeo smiles as he easily climbs the stairs two at a time.
Appolo does not back stabe HB2, but the creature looks dully at the dagger sticking out of his chest. His tounge stops flicking and he falls to his knees and then to his side.
HB5 is stunned at Mykael's brash move and does not duck Rigging's scorching rays. He thinks better of further belligerance and takes off toward stairs that are less well guarded, smoking the whole way.
Ashira is close to Ari now. The pure blood dragging him stops and takes his two magic short swords. The pure blood is outside the circle, Ashira is in it and there seems to be a powerful pull on all of her magic items toward the surface of the pyramid. The pull is slowing the ranger down.
One pure blood does take an AoO on Ashira and then a regular attack. Both slashes of the scimitar are well place, but can not penetrate Ashira's armor.

The strange ranger lands blow after blow upon her foe, determined to kill it and free Ari. (AC31/25 crit. for 20, AC29 for 11, AC23/18 crit. for 13) She looks over at the now visible John.

But in the end, loyalty wins out, and John moves over beside Ashira and taps Ari with the wand (14 HP restored).

Rigging senses Swirl's plight and tells him that the air elementals are summoned and should disappear quickly if from the pyramid.
Rigging moves another 30" up the stairs but avoids getting to close to any snakeman.
Swirl zips to the top of the pyramid, ready to bat away any of the smaller elemental with his longer reach.

Rigging sees one of the half blood snake heads trying to get away. The smoking snake head is easily brought down by the four magical darts. The half blood rolls and falls to the next level of the pyramid.
As Ashira moves to confront the pure blood holding her friends limp wrist she feels the pull on her magical items end when she leaves the circle. Ashira dispatches the burned pure blood with her two sword thrusts, one to each lung. The momentum of Ashira's pushes the Pure Blood down the stairs, but he is dead before he stops. One of Ari's short swords clangs down the stairs with the pure blood.
John rushes into the void created by Ashira and kneels next to Ari. "This should help." As he cures Ari.
Ari's eyes flutter and open and he asks "Ashira is that you?" as he looks up at the Mistress of the Sword.
Appolo sees Ashira dispatch one pure blood and he takes care of the other on top of the pyramid.
Nezamil take a smash at the half blood that Mykael knocked off the third level and down to the second.
Val runs forward to join her friends.
Cosmo does not move as he seems concerned about the lose of mage armor and alter self.

Ashira smiles warmly at Ari. "Who else would be up at the top of an enemy infested pyramid saving your bacon? Of course it's me." Ashira helps Ari to his feet. "John, hit him again. Then let's get off this thing." Ashira scans the pyramid to see where Rigging has gotten off to.
John (AC16, HP35/35) NPC Nellie 2d8(5+5)+5=15 Friday October 20th, 2006 12:29:47 AM
John nods. "You got it." He prodes Ari once more with the wand (15 hp returned). "Ready to leave when you are." John grins as he scans the area for more bad guys.

Again Bart makes a spring attack to any foe in his neighboorhood hit ac 32 for 16
(Bart must have a foe in his neighboorhood, last past bart actions where ignored so i guess he was still running to come cloes to a foe)
Ari HP 25/72 AC 16 Friday October 20th, 2006 6:35:31 AM
Taking Ashira's hand, Ari gets back on his feet. The memory of the burns makes him wince a little bit and then when the new person heals him, he feels better.
Taking a second to look the new person up and down, Ari smiles and says, "Thanks for that."
Looking around Ari asks, "Where are we? For a brief moment I was completely surround by these things. But that evidently isn't where I am now."
Double checking his person Ari realizes that he's missing some items. "I seem to be missing some things" (ooc it was unclear where the 2nd sword went)
As he looks around for his missing items Ari thinks so that was not a dream about my friends being here. Thank you Alemi for somehow making my friends available to me.

Rigging (totally confused on whats left) If Rigging has line of sight, he will launch another set of magic missiles at a fighting or fleeing foe. Spell resistance roll is 20.
If the foes are gone or out of site, Rigging will make his way up to the top of the pyramid and examine the wounded women and say hello to Ari.
Swirl will will take his AOO and swing at one of his little cousins. hitting ac 19 for 12 points of damage. He will then soar away withdrawing straight up.

Rigging finishes off the one fleeing half blood and the combination of Bart's sword and Val's bow finish off the last one.
There are no hostiles on top of the pyramid as Ashira and Apollo dispatched them last round. The only thing left is reacquiantance. Ashira, Appolo and Ari wonder how things came to be that they are together again.
John cures Air again with his wand and Ari is getting some of his color back.
Mykael checks on the injured ladies and neither is doing well. Both seem to be beyond his capabilities, but Nezamil comes and cures them. Each women is whole again and very frightened. One screams at the sight of Nezamil "OGRE!!!!'" and she hides behind Mykael.
Romeo comes over to attempt to sooth the ladies. "There, there, ladies, this here ogre is friendly." The sight of the dirty, but very attractive Romeo seems to have some effect, if maybe not confusion on the ladies.
---------------------------------------------
The two small elementals finally track down Swirl again and attack again.
AoO for Swirl
Swirl is smashed for 3 damage.
Roll 50/50 for which Swirl attacks. The one who hit him is low.
-------------------------------
No one is currently standing in the large or small circles on top of the pyramid.
The pure blood that Ashira killed had one of Ari's swords and it is half way down the pyramid. The other pure blood has the other one and it is still on top. The pure blood was attempting to move into the large circle with Ari's Sword, before Appolo killed him.
Ashira (AC27, HP 108/112) Woodland Stride Saturday October 21st, 2006 12:12:50 AM
The ranger claps Ari on the back. "Where are we??" she chuckles "You are looking at the future site of our new base of operations. We're thinking about calling it fantasy island. Nice, eh? But how in the world did you get here?"
Gathering all the Wildcards, Ashira begins escourting them down the pyramid. When she hooks up with Rigging, Ashira whispers. "Well, chief, what's the plan?"
Val AC 19, HP 127/ 127 (Endure Elements) Sunday October 22nd, 2006 9:40:05 AM
Val waited for a few minutes, arrow notched and ready, before relaxing. She starts up the long flight of stairs hoping to retrieve some of her arrows. There was no telling how long they would be here and the jungle wood wouldn't be suitable for arrow making. Not that she knew how to make arrows anyway.
"I like this battle a lot more than the last one."
Bart Sunday October 22nd, 2006 3:44:36 PM
Welcome back Ari, that was a dramatic entrance , sure you dont want to become a bard?
Ari Sunday October 22nd, 2006 6:22:56 PM
Still not realizing his luck at finding his friends. Ari looks around and sees many of them coming to greet him. As he speaks there is a momentary choke in his voice before he is able to continue.
I had been tracking this Satyr and the women to aa almost deserted village. He had convinced these woman to come with him under strange circumstances. There was a pyramid just like this one where I fought a couple of these creatures. While we were fighting I seemed to have been tranported to another pyramid where there was a sea of these things. Going almost horizon to horizon. We immediately teleported to this last pyramid and that's what brought the extra creatures with me.
During all that teleportation my amulet of natural armor got drained."
As Ari recites his tale he works on picking up the stolen sword(s).
Mykael Sunday October 22nd, 2006 9:10:23 PM
Mykael turns and gives warm smile to the ladies. "You are alright ladies. Your safe," Mykael comforts as Nezamil patches them up. "This is Romeo, and that is Nezamil. They are friends."
"Nezamil is actually a dwarf. He is just the first one to make it past puberty..." Mykael jests. "Naw, he is just magically enhanced. His size matches his compassion. He is the one that healed you. See? He wears the symbol of Domi."
"Glad to see you again, Ari. It sounds as if the stored magic in your amulet activated and powered your teleportation." Mykael contemplates. "What you think, Cosmo? Rigging?."
Mykael leads the ladies down toward the safety of the stone wall.
"We are here, should we finally go in and see whats in there?" Mykael motions to the pyramid as he speaks to Rigging.

Rigging looks at the dead and goes over and gives Ari a hug. "We have some catching up to do but you have jumped yourself into a dangereous situation. We are going to want to pick your brain on the pyramids and other things you have seen but we need to get moving right now. Lets get off this magic eating pyramid first"
Rigging looks at the new ladies and winces when he sees his handywork on the scorched one who was caught in his fireball. Rigging comes to a quick decision, "Romeo, you seem to move the best in the forest, so I want you to escort our newest recruits back to the ship, report in to Thomas and then come straight back here. I will send Swirl with you and he can help track us down through our link.
While you do that, we need to do some research on this pyramid. See if we can disable it from this end. I think we should go into it and see if we can achieve that while Romeo makes the round trip. Cosmo, do you see anything that makes sense at the top. A way to shut it off from there? At least we might be able to stop them from hoping in behind us."
Swirl decides to stop and fight. He does minor damage to one as it closes with his AoO and then pounds on the other for 23 points of damage.

-------------------------
Swirl defeats the two smaller elemental at only the loss of 5 hp.
Swirl drops of the Satyr's wand to Rigging.
-------------------------
The Wildcards meet and greet their old friend Ari as Ari tell the tale of how he came to be on this island.
Upon Rigging's urging, Romeo agrees to take the women to the Sword. "No Problem. Well ladies are you ready to be escorted." Romeo winks at Rigging as he leaves. One of the young women protest weakly "What about Liz?" as she point up at the horribly burned and still smoking body of her friend. Romeo adds "It is too late for her. Let worry about gettin you safe first. Nezamil will take care of her remains." Romeo slips a consoling arm over the young girl's shoulder and they leave the enclosure.
Cosmo listens to Ari's tale of three pyramids and seems to think that Ari activated the first pyramid with his amulet an it transported him, the satyr and the ladies to the Yuan Ti main village. The YT must have been about to activate their pyramid and you and your group were sent along as a bonus.
Cosmo ponders further and it is his thought that the pyrmaid converts arcane magical energies into teleportation energy, but further study is needed.
The large cirlce on top of the pyramid must be for transporting people, but the small circle is a mystery.

Ashira is looking for direction for the group from Rigging.

Seeing that Romeo has the ladies taken care of, he heads back for the pyramid.
Climbing to the top, he stays out of the circles and contemplates with Cosmo.
After combining knowledge, running through phlosophies, and a brain-storming session, Mykael decides on a little experimentation. He tosses a small rock on to the small circle.
"I wonder what would happen if the rock had an enchantment on it. It may not need to be a permanent one. Hmmm...," he ponders.

Rigging says, "I think we should check out the interior of the pyramid. Cosmo, Do you want to try your prying eyes? Or do you think it would be a waste with magic being so erratic?
Appolo, get off your butt and start checking out if the pyramid's entrance is trapped. Does anyone have any torches? Don't think our light spells will work so we have to go back to more mundane methods.
Nezamil, I am sorry but we don't have time to bury her right now. Say some words if you must but I am more concerned with the living right now. Ari still looks like a mess. Can you give him some more healing?
Mykael, feel free to experiment but don't go into the circle. Remember I am trying to turn this thing off, not power it up for my snakes to come through. I also don't want you to taking any unexpected journey.
Let's get moving folks, I want to get this thing quickly explored but don't want to get trapped in it when reinforcements show up. Can bet we are still being spied upon."
Rigging walks over to Ashira and slips his arm around her waist. "So what am I missing?"

Cosmo Tuesday October 24th, 2006 11:49:26 AM
"Rigging I tried the Prying Eyes spell when we were in the village before. It was unsuccessful. If we do decide to go inside the pyramid, we should go in without any of our magic. Or at least only bring magic that you would not mind losing. Perhaps we can tie some rope to some various magic items, toss them into the pyramid and then pull them out and see what has happened to them. Three different magic items that quickly come to mind would be a spelled item, such as a light stone, a potion or scroll and a permanent item. We can also try this testing in the circles at the top of the pyramid. But that may activate it and bring more snake creatures here."
Cosmo moves off the pyramid and gets out a cure potion.
"Here is a cure potion that can be used for the testing."

Nezamil assures the two female survivors that he will take care of their friends smoking remains. The smell of burnt flesh is wafting down on the group and the blackened remains are a smudge on the grey stone of the pyramid.
Mykael climbs the pyramd again and checks out the two circles carved into the flat stone top. Not very clean work and it is weathered, but no outstanding features. Mykeal then tosses a rock into the circle and....nothing happens.
Rigging tries to set the Wildcards into motion by giving out orders to several of his crew.
Rigging waits for Appolo to check the Archways for traps as the rouge relaxes in the shade of an orange tree.
Cosmo suggests a course of action to test the pyramid with several types of magic items and reminds Rigging of the failure of the prying eyes previously.
Bart concurrs with Rigging that checking out the pyramid is a good idea as long as it is not too taxing on the spell users.
Ari is still getting his bearings and tries to jump into the magical discussions.

"I know only what I've told you so I'm not sure what if anything that I should say."

Appolo? Have you found anything? I was wondering if we will even need mundane torches since we are glowing so brightly anyway.
OK the marching order is Appolo and Ashira. Keep an eye out for traps, then Nezamil paired with Mykael, Val and John, Ari and Cosmo and finally Bart and Me" Lets keep our eyes open and be alert." Rigging motions for Ashira and Appolo to lead off.
Dm Jim: Investigations Wednesday October 25th, 2006 1:39:25 PM
Mykael and Nezamil try an experiment on top of the pyramid. Nezamil cast a light spell on a rock and then Mykael tosses it into the large circle on top of the pyramid.
Nothing happens initially and then after about 10 or so seconds the spell ends. Very anticlimatic.
Ashira suggest investigating the interior of the pyramid. Rigging set up a marching order as the Wildcards form up by one of the archways.
Rigging suggest that Ghem watch from the tree line of the jungle to see if any nasties appear.
Appolo checks the archway and it is constructed of the same rough stone as the rest of the pyramid. The opening is about 8 feet wide and the corridor is 10 feet by 8 feet high. The natural light of the day illuminate for about 25 feet and then shadows for the 15 or so feet before darkness. Like when the group investigated previously the archways and tunnels, there is a light farther down the tunnel.
Nezamil can tell its going to be a real tight fit. No one will be able to see or get past him once he is in the tunnel. Will he be able to move full speed?
Appolo can find no traps on or around the archways.
There are still the shafts cut into the sides of the pyramid that seem to all point to the interior of the pyramid. The shaft opening are approximatley six inches square.
