Vorelle [AC 22, HP 11/86] d20+4=13 ; d20+8=12 ; d20+8=17 ; Wednesday September 17th, 2008 9:34:29 PM
The blood sings in Vorelle's ears as pain washes over her again. The shock of the attack leaves her slow and clumsy.
Still, she does her best to defend herself and give Malgant a chance against the creature. [Attacking defensively, using the Aid Another action per Players Handbook page 154. For Aid Another, Vorelle only needs to hit an AC of 10. She hits AC 12, a success. Malgant gets +2 to his AC against #4's next attack. ]
Dimly, she hears Appollo shout for her to get clear, but if she moves, the creature can attack her. [Vorelle will provoke if she stands or attempts to crawl away.] She realizes, however, that that cuts both ways, and she readies her axes in case the fallen creature attempts to stand or move.
[If #4 provokes, Vorelle hits AC 17 (miss)]

Val feels the energy wash over her. The pain was stronger than she expected, but Val was able to mentall push past it. For a moment there seemed to be a lethargy in her limbs but that vanished as well. Val keeps drawing arrows firing as fast as she could.
ooc: 1st attack hit ac 31 for 7 and 4 fire. 2nd attack ac 22 for 14 and 3 fire, 3rd missed.

Between the attacks of Apollo, Malgant, Vauhwyt, Val and Aztyr the remaining three Green Slaad are chopped into slimy green bits of goo, which luckily get washed overboard with the big wave that nearly swamps the boat, All but Lorth and Bart, take 3 points acid damage, unless otherwise protected.
That last wave nearly tore the wheel from Bart's hands and sent Lorth below slamming into the wall. The storm seems to be reaching its highest intensity with visibility nearly nil. The wind and sounds or surf and rain make verbal communication, except mouth to ear nigh on impossible.
Combat is officially over.
Vorelle [HP 8/86] and Champ Thursday September 18th, 2008 6:34:26 PM
With a monumental effort of will, Vorelle manages not to whimper as she crawls across the deck and down into the hold. She crawls out of the way of the ladder and lies on the floor, enjoying the sensation of not being chewed up by acid, or clawed by giant frogs.
Lorth AC 23 HP 111/111 Thursday September 18th, 2008 8:11:42 PM
Lorth crashes into the wall and tries to roll with it, sprawling himself across the floor. What in Gargul's name are they doing up there? I thought they were experienced sailors? It isn't easy being down in the hull trying to keep this engine fed while everyone else is off doing who knows what... you think someone would come to check on him. Lorth picks himself up and returns to the fuel pile.
Val AC 26, HP 52/ 112 Thursday September 18th, 2008 9:09:46 PM
Val heads below deck and as soon as she's clear of the acid waves crashing on the deck, the exotic elf begins dropping her things. There's a trail of weapons, armor, and clothing going from the deck towards her quarters. Anybody looking would see her quite naked. Val quickly washes the acid from her skin, caring about removing the burning more than wandering eyes. Once she is acid and blood free does Val go and get her things.

Malgant motions them all over to the stairway and gets everyone below decks. Being the closest to the ladder, he is right behind Vorelle. Malgant is deeply concerned by the blood trail that she left as she crawled below, and as soon as he makes it to the bottom of the laddar he reaches down and heals her.[CCW for 29 healing] once all of his companions except for Bart are safe from the storm and withing his sight he heals them as well.[mass CLW twice for 12 healing and 15 healing to all my friends that I can see] he then begins to heal them individually.

Aztyr times it and manages to get into the door to the inside between waves and lands. She immeadiatly grabs a hand hold inside somewhere and holds on, expecting more tossing from the waves. Being the last in, she slams the door shut. She then sees the blood trail from Vorelle and uses her free hand to reach down and touch her shoulder.

Vauhwyt (AC23, HP: 84 of 85) and Mookie (AC18, HP42) Friday September 19th, 2008 7:01:52 AM
Vauhwyt watches with concern as Vorelle gets healed.
She casts Detect Magic to see if she finds any loot or clues.
Then she goes around to tell the others what happened in the fight, and to help take over the fueling.
Bart ac 30 hp 101/105 d20=8 ; Friday September 19th, 2008 3:14:42 PM
Bart holds the wheel with both hands keeping the boat on course. "CAN SOMEONE SEE THE ISLAND?"
Val AC 26, HP 66/ 112 Friday September 19th, 2008 10:49:45 PM
The healing helped but Val still feels like crap. Val hastily cleans her armor and puts it on again with a groan of protest. She didn't really want to go back up there. Except she had to. Weary and looking every bit of it, Val heads back up on deck.
"Bart we might need to weigh anchor. Were all hurt pretty badly from the slaads."

Appolo accepts the healing witha smile."Thanks big guy and takes in the beutiful site of Val.When she attemps to head uptop,Appolo stops he"Val you and Vorrell stay down here and rest.Heal up as best you can.Malgant big guy can you releave Lorth.He looks like he needs a break.Everyone else can stay down here if you like I'll go back up and help Bart in the storm."With that said Appolo heads back up top and takes out the way finder telescope He stands next to Bart and casts up for land."Good job buddy I told you.You are right man to drive this boat."He rocks back and forth with the waves

OOC seems to be some confusion about the healing......EVERYONE gets the mass Cure Light wounds for 12 and 15 healing. From your last battle posts and the healing I did I have you all at.... Val 109 of 112 Appolo Full Malgant Full Vorelle 81 of 86 this includes Aztyr's heals Vauhwyt 84 of 85
IC Malgant goes to his quarters and strips off his armor. He then wedges himself into the engine room with Lorth and relieves the paladin from fueling the ship. As Lorth rests he also relates the fight that occurred up top and explains that the storm is so heavy that there is no good way to communicate, at least not until Malgant prays in the morning to Domi for a prayer that can ease that problem. He also relates that the frogs are from another plane, since he was able to use a prayer against other planar creatures to send one of the opponents away.
Bart ac 30 hp 101/105 Monday September 22nd, 2008 12:58:21 AM
No we cant amchor not in this weather we would lose the anchor and we would be worse we minimize the speed. Cant one of you spellcasters control the wind?
DM Kent Monday September 22nd, 2008 6:40:04 AM
As people are healed and strip off their armor to rest, a debate breaks out about whether or not to try to anchor and ride out the storm. Bart's response to this as appointed captain is to shake it off as too dangerous and decides the two viable options are to head directly into the storm which should eas the cross deck crashing and near rolling over of the boat, or turning ans running with the storm.
Turning into the storm at least has the benefit of still being headed in lake and supposedly toward an island, but who knows how much more this storm metal bucket of a boat can take (It already seems to be steering a bit more sluggishly, possibly due to water accumulating in the hull).
Turning and running with the storm takes the party back whence they came and possibly to the safety of the little bay where they launched, but gets them no closer to their goal.
Now that the fighting has stopped and you can actually listen to the storm, Malgant, Aztyr, Vauhwyt please make Knowledge arcana/spellcraft roll DC 18. If you make the roll then you may Highlight to display spoiler: { You are sure that this storm is magical in nature}
Lorth AC 23 HP 111/111 Monday September 22nd, 2008 7:27:10 AM
Lorth continues to shovel fuel into the engine until relieved.
Vorelle [HP 81/86] and Champ Monday September 22nd, 2008 11:26:52 AM
The multiple healing spells close up Vorelle's wounds, and she looks considerably better.
"Th-th-thanks," she murmurs to Malgant, and again to Aztyr.
"Th-thank you, too," she tells Champ, who is assisting their efforts by enthusiastically licking her face.
She scrambles to her feet and looks around to see how she can help.
If there is a way to bail water (or a pump, or something), Vorelle will get started on that. If not, she relieves Lorth at the furnace.

When Vorelle murmurs her thanks Malgant smiles and says " Of course Vorelle, I don't think Champ would le me be if something were to happen to you." When Vorelle comes into the boiler room to take a turn at the feuling Malgant gratefully steps out of the cramped space and heads up to the deck. The rain is still coming down in a torrent and the waves are still crashing, but this is outside and not in the cramped spaces below. As He stands and lets the rain play over his skin he feels something is wrong, magically wrong. [spellcraft 22] Concentrating further he is sure of it, but he calls the other two spellcasters up to get their confirming opinions. "Aztyr, Vauhwyt. Come up here and concentrate on the storm. It doesn't feel natural to me." When they arrive he explains exactly how it doesn't feel right and what he suspects[aid both of their spellcraft checks +2 to each of their checks] Using the rope that Appolo tied off before to the steering room Malgant makes his way there to tell Bart that the storm is not normal, it is in someway magically created or enhanced.
Vauhwyt (AC23, HP: 85 of 85) and Mookie (AC18, HP42) Monday September 22nd, 2008 4:48:12 PM
Vauhwyt's gut says "Turn into the storm!" She agrees with her gut, and tells everyone so. Mookie disagrees with her gut, until she offers to let him argue with her gut from the inside.
OOC: Vauhwyt has no ranks in Spellcraft or Know Arcana.
OOC Kent: And Vauhwyt has levels is sorcerer? hmmmmm.
Aztyr (56/58 hp, 25 AC and Jynx (29 hp, 18 AC) Tuesday September 23rd, 2008 12:34:00 AM
Aztyr hears Malgant call for her to come back out on deck, she pokes her head out and listens to what he says. Aztyr replies "Whatever you think Malgant, I got nothing to do with controling the weather, either how it's done or if its magical or not..."
She tucks herself back inside under cover..
Bart ac 30 hp 101/105 Tuesday September 23rd, 2008 1:12:25 AM
Thanks Malgant i already was suspicious about the storm, even at sea strong storms as these are rare, we turn back i wont risk our lives here, we have to find out how we can control the winds. MAN THE PUMPS AND BAIL OUT THE WATER!
Appolo Ac 30 Hp88/88 Hasted activates his boots of speed +4 Tuesday September 23rd, 2008 11:27:49 AM
Appolo is in the wheelhouse with Bart when Malgant arrives."Well I think we should continue forward into the storm.Becuase if we turn back then that just gves our enemy time to regroup and the next time we set sait we'll probably face another storm and have to fiht the frogs agian.So going throught storm won't give our enemy time to regroup.The spell will end eventually and then we'll hopefully be close to the Island."
Light Fortification, AC 11, 82/82hp Malgant Tuesday September 23rd, 2008 5:18:11 PM
" I agree with Appolo. I don't think those frogs were a coincidence with this storm. The storm was summoned or augmented to hide their approach and aid in their fight. If they had caught only one or two of us on deck we would not have been able to get help fast enough to survive. God's, Lorth didn't even know we had been attacked when I was below with him. The storm was so loud that he couldn't hear the fight. I say we press on and into the storm. That should aid some of the buffeting and maybe, just maybe hide our whereabouts from whoever sent it for a little while yet."
Val AC 26, HP 109/ 112 Tuesday September 23rd, 2008 7:07:58 PM
"How are we taking on water? I didn't feel us hit anything. Has anybody confirmed that there is water in the hull?" Val asked. Truth be told she was ready for a nap. Fighting the storm and those demon frogs left her mentally fried. Trying to aim an arrow through rain and wind was no easy task.
DM Kent d100=63 ; Tuesday September 23rd, 2008 8:19:58 PM
Looking for someway to help with the water, Vorelle finds a stern hatch that wasn't battened down and was allowing water to fill the lower hull as each wave crashed over the decks. Water right now is nearly mid thigh and just visible on the sides of the hull are several racks of hoses and what look to be pieces to two pumps.
The storm is still rough but no new waves top the boat yet as the decision was made to turn into the storm and continue pushing on. As the course adjustment is made the movement of the boat changes as the boat begins cutting through the smaller waves and trying to crest and ride over the bigger ones and the side to side shifting semms to be lessened considerably.
Lorth AC 23 HP 111/111 Wednesday September 24th, 2008 7:43:23 AM
Ah, the boat seems to have calmed down a bit, Lorth thinks. He stays at his post.
Vorelle [HP 81/86] Wednesday September 24th, 2008 1:44:32 PM
When she sees the hatch open, Vorelle calls, "I-I c-c-could use some h-h-h-h-help!"
Then she does her best to close and fasten the open hatch.
If she can get that accomplished, she turns her attention to figuring out the pump.
Aztyr (56/58 hp, 25 AC and Jynx (29 hp, 18 AC) Wednesday September 24th, 2008 4:57:32 PM
Aztyr asks Bart a question. 'That wayfinder thing you keep looking through, could the people, or Dragon if that's what it is, where we are looking for, be tracing your scrying attempts back to us? It seems that even if it is magic, it's source could probably be traced back to where it was used. And that would be us, in this big IRON boat on a lake oozing with Acid. We really arn't hard to miss with that black smoke pouring up into the sky, pointing directly down at us."
Light Fortification, AC 11, 82/82hp Malgant Wednesday September 24th, 2008 11:14:33 PM
" Nothing else I can do to help up top here, I am going below to help with clearing the water out. If we hadn't been attacked and I hadn't needed to heal I could probably remove it with a prayer." Malgant heads below and try's to help with the pump.
Val AC 26, HP 109/ 112 Thursday September 25th, 2008 7:01:55 AM
Val heads down to help Vorelle with the hatch. After that she looks at all the hoses. "I think this can get the water out but I have no idea how they work. That gnome should have come with."
Appolo Thursday September 25th, 2008 12:11:37 PM
As the storm begins to subside and the ride gets smoother Appolo relaxrd.Looking at Bart"Bart,Why don't you take a break I'll take the wgeel forawhile.Also go down and try to get Lorth to rest up somelet the fire burn down alittle we don't need as much speed..I'll keep ."us on course.If he wants some thing to do have him come up and man the bow catapult.He needs to rest as we all do.Spread the word to take it easy"
Bart ac 30 hp 101/105 Thursday September 25th, 2008 12:36:50 PM
Bart goes down as Appollo sugested, Lorth have some rest we dont need that much speed, we better can bail out the water . Bart helps for half an hour to bail out the water
Vauhwyt (AC23, HP: 85 of 85) and Mookie (AC18, HP42) Friday September 26th, 2008 8:08:52 AM
Vauhwyt hops to it, helping to close the hatch and Taur the pumps.
Mookie caws, "You mean 'Man the pumps!,' Boss!"
Vauhwyt answers, "I'm not a man or a human, Mookie."
"Stupid political correctness," mutters Mookie.
Lorth AC 23 HP 111/111 Friday September 26th, 2008 8:55:04 AM
"We are taking on water?", Lorth says nervously. He then follows Bart to bail out water and stays there until it is done. "I suppose could be worse. Something could of crawled out of the lake."
