Vedik follows Dwights pointing. Although he doesn't really follow what he means, it's clear he has a notion about a few of the buildings. Trusting the halfling, Vedik makes motions towards the buildings himself, pointing to Monthor to take point.
He takes a close look at the structures of the buildings, using his keen dwarven eye to determine anything he can about them as he follows behind Monthor.

Plyf follows her comrades and looks about for all the vessels that supposidly sank from the tops of towers. She enjoys the swim, never having been this deep and trys not to be destracted by the pretty fish that swim in schools in the area.

We're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat - DM Dan Monday December 15th, 2008 10:50:11 PM
A few OoC things Please list active spells and abilities like low light or darkvision to help me out As a rule if you are looking or doing somethin in which you would like possible specific info returned, make an appropriate skill check
Beneath the waves at this depth, things are still relatively warm and light manages to penetrate. The water is fairly clear, but those without enhanced vision can still only see about 40'. Even directly in front of you the shadow flicker about and force you to recognize determining the exact position of a target may be difficult. Those with low light vision can see normally to about 40' and then the dancing shadows from the surface begin to affect you, finally limiting your sight at 80'. Any with darkvision find the dim world beneath the waves to be very much like in the lightless world of the underground.
Vedick's keen eye and attention for architecture begin to pay off immediately. Under the grime of most of the buildings, he can make out the now discolored red stone. The workmanship is extraordinary, more so given how long these structures have been exposed to the grinding decay of salt water and lichen growth pulling at them. Many still tower several stories towards the light of the surface and are completely intact. this section of the city, the dwarf quickly asertains, was a housing area. many lower levels seem to be small shops, likely for everyday needs such as food and drink. The upper levels for living. the buildings do not stand in isolation, but are rather in street rows of about 8 units running some 25' each. The roads are wide, or rather gaps now under the waves, are great enough for stands to easily have been out front on each side with a small crowd and still allowing for a pair of wagons to pass each other. All told the distance is nearly 50'.
Debris is littered all over, bits of plank and rope. A stray barrel out of place here, the glint of a sword buried in the sand there. Evidence that the entire city is one enormous debris field of countless vessels torn open by the mighty turrents of the red city towers. What is not evident to Plyf and indeed any of you, is any large sections of hull or cargo. Surely not every ship was torn to such small pieces.
Plyf then spots behind the group and black movement in the shadow at the very edge of vision. A shadow, perhaps. A massive school of fish just then shoot down the main thoroughfare the party stands in at high speed. Directly away from, Plyf notices, the phantom shadow he just saw.

Vedik folds his wings in, deactivating them. The impressiveness of the architecture brings a smile to Vedik's face. He spends a moment appreciating the construction, wishing he could speak to the architects. He looks towards the other sections, trying to gauge where their target might be.
Enthralled by the buildings, he remains oblivious to the potential danger.

Plyf begins to sing loudly, to encourage her friends to action, as well as using the hand signals they practiced, in case they cant hear her, to inform them of the danger, then swims behind those that have much more armor then she has.

Vedick continues to look at the buildings and comes to realize that they road the grou stands in seems to be a main arterey that leads to the heart of the underwater city. Down this path the group will likely find the important structures of the city.
Plyf begins a song and though a bit strange sounding to his own ear as well as that of his companions, the affect is as it should be. The shadow, as the bard watches grows more distinct and larger. A great fish of some kind swimming above the group and behind them some 80' away. Plyf also spots a second such fish another high above near the very surface.
Tratain too, sees both fish and more disturbing a second pair of shadows. About the size of a medium sized whale but the great tail tapors towards the head of the creature adn the his sharp eyes can make out what appear to be two arms and in one of those each of these new creatures is grasping a long spear or similar weapon.
All of the creatures are remaining over 40' away and swimming as if to circle in from above the party.

Plyf is very nervous and she pulls a wand from her belt prepareing to activate it only if necessary, she begins to hide in the shadows of the water available to her. She stops her singing for the moment, now aware that these creatures might be able to locate her by sound.

Not liking the situation, Dwight stays close with the group hoping Tratain's call is a positive one.

Plyf stops the song and moves to put some debris between the shadows and himself. The songs effects continue to bolster the party.( rnd 4/5)
Monthor pulls his mighty axe Fred and moves to prepare for an attack if it comes.
Vedik moves up and casts a spell, Freeing Monthor from the combersome affects of the underwater environment
Dwight Stays close with the group, his thoughts drifting to Gargul momentarily.
Tratain calls out in Aquan to the shadows, hoping to earn a response. He does indeed recieve one too.
Swimming into clear view are two large creatures with the lower bodies of great eels and the uppoer torsos of well muscled men. Quills, similar to those of a porcupine run down the creatures spines and across the flat sections of thier eel tails. Each holds a large Trident and wears several pieces of jewelry. They stop about 30' in front of Monthor and about 15' above the ground.
A voice, cold and deep rolls from the creatures mouth in Aquan Highlight to display spoiler: {"Surface dwellers. You are not welcome here, you're intentions of land walker peace are not believed }

Dwight is pleased to see that one of the water dwellers come forward in response to Tratain's, and so far is peaceful. This makes sense, a full city is likely to be occupied. Should have thought of this Dwight concludes to himself.
Diplomacy: 14 (not speaking the language, Dwight tries not to make the situation worse. Surely halflings, even land walking halflings should be considered peaceful? )

Tratain is encouraged when the fish people are willing to speak with him and don't just attack the group outright, he decides to continue and try and negotiate with them to gain entrance to thier lands.
He says in Aquan "I give you my word of Honor, and will swear upon the names of the Gods of Light that we mean you and your people no harm. If you yourselves are not empowered to treat with us could you perhaps send for someone we might negotiate with? Given any other choice we would simply leave you and your people in peace, but we have discovered something, very dangerous and powerful that was created in this city before it sank beneath the waves. We seek to learn how we may neutralize it but the only place that may be done is here. If it is not done quickly the entiretly of the wold, above the sea and below will be in danger."

Dwight tries, as does Plyf to gain some perspective on the Eel-men's motives but it proves fruitless for the moment. If the creatures are planning aggressive actions, neither can tell.
Tratain speaks as Vedick keeps a wary out out for more threats.
The eel-man speaks again after listening to Tratain, In Aquan Highlight to display spoiler: {"Your gods and honor do not hold sway here land walker." he pauses then continues, "But I would know more of this threat. What do you bring to our lands? And know we can discern the truth of what you say next." } The other Eel-Man's face contorts into a frown and his brow furrows deeply as he looks to his companion. It is easy to tell he is not pleased that the conversation is continuing.

Plyf is annoyed by the conversation she is not a part of. She comes to terms with her self that she will begin to learn new languages in her future. Until then though she remains quiet and still, using her last skill checks, waiting to see if she needs to attempt to facinate one of these creatures.

Dwight hp 99+, ac 16+ Monday December 22nd, 2008 2:42:23 PM
Dwight remains standing, thinking if any gods above would hold merit underwater; but mostly focusing on keeping his mouth shut.
Ebryron surely has had an impact on this underwater city, though it is just as likely he sank it, as blessed these eel creatures with a new home centuries ago. Perhaps they haven't learned of his rebirth and vow to reform?"
TratainCurrent Spells Monday December 22nd, 2008 3:53:54 PM
Tratain says to the fish people in Aquan "I can tell you about the Artifact, we did not bring it with us. We wanted to locate the place where we must bring it before we remove it from its current hiding place, its danger is somewhat lessened where it is at the moment, but that will change very soon."
He continues "What we found is an Orb. This orb houses a portal to another Dimension Inhabited by a people who are known here as the Legion. We took this orb from a Demon who was experimenting on it, this Demon has damaged the safeguards on the Orb and will soon fail all together with will permanently open a rift between the Wold and The Legions Home plane. We do not know much about the Legion, but what we do know is that long ago they used these orbs to invade the wold and will probably do so again if the protections around the Orb fail all together and there will be no way close the gate again. We have learned that the Orb may be controlled safely where it was created, the Forge of Erathian, which should be in the middle of this City. We intend, with your permission, to Bring the Orb to the Forge, where we will then Be able to control it temporarily. We will then open a gate to their realm, enter it and retrieve our orbs twin from the Legions possesion and bring it back here so that the threat of the Legion invading our Plane will be eliminated."

OOC: Thanks Dan for posting. All, I did my best to recreate Dan's map, hope it works as well vis-a-vis linking. If it doesn't, I'll fix.
Tratain Highlight to display spoiler: {Did you really not bring the orb? I wasn't clear. If this was the truth, no problem, I'm just making sure I know what's going on. If this was a lie on Tratain's part, I need to make a sense motive check, so please let me know}
The eel-man who has been speaking is quiet a moment. "An . . . orb?" he asks cautiously.
"It's the orb, brother," the other one says matter-of-factly.
"So it would seem. The elders will be quite pleased," the first says. Suddenly louder, he then bellows, "MAK-TAA!"
The enormous fish waste no time accelerating toward the Knights. Coming into better view, you see that these fish, at least 20 feet long, look like a mix of whale and shark, but with a large, elongated snout. This snout, itself almost 5 feet in length, is filled with dagger-sized, razer-sharp teeth that protrude at all sorts of odd angles.
The creatures are otherwise bluish-gray, with smooth scales, long fins and large, broad tailfins that propel them through the water at a fantastic speed.
The two fish leap forward and open their long mouths. The first swims downward and attacks Dwight, while the second takes a sharper angle (being higher up) and tries to bite Monthor.
[Monthor's readied attack can't be taken yet since fish are striking from 10'-15' distance]
F1 bites Dwight, sinking its teeth into his small hide without much trouble at all (hit AC 44). Dwight takes 20 damage from the sharp teeth.
F2 bites Monthor, also succeeding in piercing the dwarf's armor (hit AC 44). Monthor takes 19 damage.
Unexpectedly, the two fish scoop their prey into their mouths, grinding Dwight and Monthor in their saw-like mouths. (grapple checks w/ improved grab, 51 vs dwight, 47 vs monthor).
The two Knights, being mercilessly ground between the fish' teeth, are further injured, Monthor taking 17 damage from the gnawing, Dwight taking 10 more.
The two eel-men tense their tails, and each launch a small, spindly dart through the water, one aiming at Vedik, one at Tratain.
The dart aimed at Vedik hits touch ac 29, for 6 damage.
The dart aimed at Tratain hits AC 28, for 5 damage.
Anyone hit by a dart must make a fortitude save, DC 25. Success=no harm. Failure= 3 str damage for Vedik, 5 str damage for Tratain.
After launching their darts, the eel-men swim forward, lashing out at Tratain and Plyf with their long, slimy tails.
The first calls out, "Give us the orb, landwalkers, and you will be spared. Or not, and be food for out pets."
W1 swings its tail at Plyf, hitting AC 40 (Crit confirmed with AC 24), and striking a devastating blow, dealing 11 damage plus 1 electric damage.
W2 swings its tail at Tratain, hitting AC 27 (does that hit Tratain), doing 6 damage plus 2 electric damage.
As their tails connect, rather than drawing back they begin to adhere to their targets, attempting to wrap them into a slimy embrace.
W1 grapple check on Plyf = 32.
W2 grapple check on Tratain = 21.
If grapples succeed, the tails begin squeezing their targets, causing additional damage as follows: Plyf: 8 damage plus 7 electric damage. Tratain: 5 damage plus 6 electric damage.

Tratain was hopeing that they could resolve this situation peacefully, but the Fish men decide to take that option away. He is able to fight off the Dart attack (Fort save 42) and blocks the attack of the creatures Tail. (AC last round was 38)
Tratain says in Aquan as they attack "We didn't come here to fight you but if you insist! I'll give you the same option, surrender and you will live, decide quickly before you no longer have the choice!"
Tratain then Casts Freedom of Movement on Dwight (Defensive Casting 32, Pass. Range Touch Vs Dwight Hits AC 23 if needed, Tratain can cast touch spells at a range of 30 feet)
He then quickly Follows up with a Shield of Faith spell upon himself (Quicken Shield of Faith, Defensive Casting 32, Pass)

Vedik sighs as the negotiations clearly fall apart, and quickly. Seeing that grappling is their strategy, he casts freedom of movement defensively on himself, then looks around to see who is most hurt. He has heard tales of blood in the water attracting other predators.

A few notes:
- I didn't noice Plyf's hide/move silent check, sorry. Attacker rolled spot above, made it anyway, but apologies for not doing immediately.
- To clarify, the grapple checks and subsequent constrict/gnaw damage should be ignored if the initial attack does not hit (for those without freedom of movement, those with it ignore both anyway)

OOC: Sorry about the first roll, I was going to use it to facinate, but after reading the ability discovered you can't use it after combat has started, so Plyf would do something else.
Plyf is in trouble as she can not do much against this creature that would harm her. She concentrates on her ring and says a command word, "Varies".

Cease Negotiations! - DM Matt d20+7=17 ; d20+19=24 ; Tuesday December 23rd, 2008 7:03:49 PM
Tratain fends off the eel-man's attacks, then casts a few protective spells on himself and his companions. He offers a solution to the attacker, who laughs at the Protector. "Stupid landwalkers. A chance to retake the orb? The elders would kill us if we surrendered anyway!"
Vedik casts a spell on himself and looks to his companions' well-being.
Monthor swims up a few feet and swings his axe at the enormous fish. [you need at least a 5' step to get to him, which I think takes a swim check since it is upward in the water. I rolled your check and got a 17. Not sure on the DC, but a 17 has to make it.]
All four of Monthor's attacks strike the fish in its long snout, causing it to howl and roar in pain. [holy damage does not affect it] Fort save 24.
[I will continue posting the turn after giving Dwight a chance to get his turn in. This is not a final DM post, so please do not take additional actions until Dwight posts and I finish enemy turns.]

Dwight hp 124/144, ac 25 d20+17=35 ; Tuesday December 23rd, 2008 10:00:32 PM
Sliding out of the gnawing jaws, Dwight considers his few options. Hoping to better the odds, he attemps to space himself from the attacks, by making them move away (Casting: Fear)
Fear: Will Save DC: 16 (30' cone shape) Fail flees for 6 rounds, Save shaken for 1 round
Target is largest group from Dwight outward.(W1, F1 ?)
Concentration Check: 35 (to cast underwater in combat)
------------------------------- Some DM Sanity Stuff:
Dwight easily wriggles free of the fish's jaw, then calmly casts a spell on the fish and nearby warrior. Both make their saves (18, 24).
F2 continues its attack on Monthor, first biting him (hit AC 49, 25 damage), then slamming him with its massive tail (hit AC 40, 16 damage).
Monthor takes total damage 41.
F2 swims back and upward a few feet, moving out of Monthor's reach (5' step up - Monthor needs to move in 5' again, don't forget swim checks. For treading water or staying in place, I'll call it a DC15)
W2 fires a pair of darts, one at Tratain, one at Vedik. Tratain's dart hits touch AC 28, 4 damage; Vedik's dart hits touch AC 25, 6 damage.
If hit, each make a fort save, DC 25, or take 6 str damage (Tratain), or 8 str damage (Vedik).
W2 then floats in a few feet, swinging its crackling tail at Tratain and stabbing its trident at Vedik repeatedly.
The tail narrowly misses Tratain's head (AC 32), pushing the murky water into the Protector's face.
The trident stabs Vedik twice (AC 40, 32), but misses on the warrior's third swing. Vedik takes 28 damage (14+12) and 11 electric damage (5+6). Total damage 39.
F1 continues trying to eat its halfling target, biting and slamming its tail into Dwight.
Its bite hits AC 35, tail hits AC 45. Dwight takes 24+10=34 damage.
W1 fires a pair of darts at Dwight and Plyf. Dwight's dart hits touch ac 19, Plyf's hits touch ac 26. Tratain manages to get himself in the way of Plyf's dart.
Dwight takes 6 damage, and Plyf (Tratain) takes 3. Anyone hit make fort save DC 25. If failure, Dwight takes 5 Str damage, and Plyf (or Tratain) takes 5 str damage.
W1 swims up and back 5', removing a thin, curved horn from his belt. Placing horn to lips, he blows, issuing an eerie moaning note. The long droning sound is warped by the water, though it seems to carry more than one would expect this far underwater.

Vedik sees Monthor has his fish well in hand and no one is too badly injured, so he turns to the fishman above him. Casting defensively, he summons a hand made of pure force, and sends it after the hornblower.

Underwater Battle, round 3 - DM Matt d20+19=20 ; d20+19=30 ; Saturday December 27th, 2008 11:58:30 AM [All: If I miss rolling the miss chance for blink, please roll in your post and apply damage or not]
Dwight activates a ring and begins phasing in and out of sight. [ring activation is a standard action, as is the witch's guide/mislead ability. Also, the guide/mislead ability applies to the next single roll, not a full round of actions. If you prefer to use the ability rather than activate the ring, I will modify my post]
Dwight Highlight to display spoiler: {I am unsure on your broom question. I posted in rules and DM boards for opinions.}
Monthor floats upward a few feet and takes numerous, vicious swipes at the monstrous fish. His thundering axe deafens the fish (first fort save was natural 1). Monthor Highlight to display spoiler: {That is an entirely inappropriate amount of damage. Please switch to a non-masterwork, small-sized dagger.}
Plyf Highlight to display spoiler: {Sorry, I have Plyf as not being grappled now, I forgot to note it in the last post. I had looked at the swim checks, and wasn't sure how to treat the water, but I decided that since Monthor is heavily armored and needs to effectively "tread water" to fight the fish, a DC 15 seems appropriate. It would probably be more than that, but for now I'll stick with it. Finally, as for the dart, Tratain is not blinking, so there is no miss chance for him. Plyf has the 50% miss chance, but the Protector ability makes it so the Tratain basically steps in front of Plyf and takes the attack. The attack is then subject to Tratain's AC, saves, etc., so Plyf's binking wouldn't have an effect.}
Vedik, first being sure his friends are in good health (relatively speaking), casts a spell and causes a glowing weapon of force to appear, attacking the eel-man nearby.
Tratain follows suit, bringing forth another glowing weapon to attack the warrior. Looking around, he peers through the murky water, momentarily seeing well in all directions. Outside of the immediate area, things look peaceful right now. Not even the small fish that you saw before are anywhere to be seen, likely hiding somewhere.

Dwight Highlight to display spoiler: { With freedom of movement, you can use the broom normally underwater. There is no specific rule that gives a clear answer for or against, and there are some good, logical reasons for allowing it stated in the rules board, so I'm going with it for now. If something comes up later that I didn't know about, I reserve the right to change the ruling, but I won't change it in a way that hurts you if you've been relying on the ability to use the broom underwater.

Plyf swims toward K24 and pulls out a dagger to stab at the warrios named W2. She feels this will be a feeble attempt with weapons that she has not used in some time, but without a freedom of movement spell like some of the others, she will need to do something that can cause some damage or distraction.

[note on blink: when rolling a d100, 1-50 is a miss for the enemy; 51-100 is a hit. When anyone else rolls, feel free to do it your own way, just specify first which is good and which is bad]
Plyf swims toward the eel-man, stabbing repeatedly with a dagger. Her inability to move as well underwater as some of her companions must be hindering, as only one of the attacks strikes home.
F1 presses its attack on Dwight, lashing out with jaws and tail. Its bite hits AC 40 for 13 damage (wow, rolled 3 1s), and its tail hits AC 35 for 21 damage. Unfortunately, the fish is quite surprised when both attacks pass harmlessly through Dwight's body (miss chance rolled 44, 47 - sorry rolls are out of order)
F2, bleeding from multiple deep wounds, continues to attack Monthor, albeit more slowly and feebly at this point. It still manages to land both of its attacks, its bite hitting AC 39 for 20 damage, and its tail hitting AC 47 for 13 damage.
W1 moves 5' forward and down, firing 1 dart each at Dwight and Vedik. The dart aimed at Dwighthits touch AC 24 for 7 damage, and the dart aimed at Vedik goes wide, floating off into the dark water (natural 1). [made miss chance for Dwight, rolled 74]
If the first dart hits, Dwight must make a DC 25 fort save or take 8 strength damage.
W1 stabs its long trident at Vedik, hitting him twice. First attack hits AC 37 for 17 damage; second attack hits AC 32 for 11 damage; third attack misses with AC 26.
W1 also lashes out with its tail at Dwight, hitting AC 26 for 11 damage and 4 electric damage. [made miss chance, rolled 85]
W2 fires a pair of darts, one at Tratain and one at Plyf. The dart aimed at Tratain hits touch AC 31 for 8 damage. The dart aimed at Plyf hits touch AC 27 for 4 damage [made miss chance, rolled 86]
If hit, each of you make a fort save DC 25. If failure, Tratain takes 5 strength damage, Plyf takes 3 strength damage.
W2 then stabs at Tratain with its trident, missing terribly each time (AC 24, 22, 14).
Finally, W2 snaps its tail at Plyf, also missing wildly (natural 1 . . . again).
In the not-too-distant distance, a single note sounds from a horn, identical to that from W1 a few seconds ago.
Spot check DC 20 Highlight to display spoiler: { Fifty or sixty feet away to the north, you see three dark shapes approaching. They aren't as large as the sawfish, they seem roughly the size of the eel-men. They are spread out across the wide street and moving fast. They will be on you in another few seconds. (not on map yet, but if you made this spot check you can pinpoint them for purposes of casting, projectiles, charging, etc. Assume they are 60 north of the notations "W2," "V," and "W1.")}

Vedik's holy hand continues to slap the warrior. The first two attacks miss, but the second lands solidly, almost striking a nerve.
Calling on Alemi, Vedik then heals the party with a simple spell, curing everyone but Plyf, who blinks into the ether as the spell is cast.

Vedik's force weapon strikes repeatedly at W1, hitting him once squarely in the back. Meanwhile, Vedik helps to heal a few of the party's wounds.
Monthor swings at F2 again, chopping its long snout three more times, and finally succeeding in silencing the fish. The enormous body, gushing blood, goes limp, floats for a moment, then settles on the ocean floor.
Plyf replaces her wand and stabs at W2 with a dagger, managing to knock a few scales off of the mer-warrior.
Tratain presses his attack, first with his force weapon, which hammers into the warrior three times, and next by summoning a water elemental. The elemental, visible only by the faintly different colored water, hammers W1, inflicting more punishment and causing the warrior to cry out in rage.
Dwight casts a spell, attempting to lay a curse on the eel-man, though the warrior shakes off the effects even as he is pummeled by the elemental. [save=30]
F1, seeings its companion fall, shifts its focus to the floating dwarf. Opening its long, jagged-toothed maw, it snaps at Monthor, hitting AC 47 for 23 damage. It also whips its thick tail, slamming it mightily into the dwarf's midsection. The tail hits AC 48 (crit confirmed AC 38) for 34 damage.
W1 fires two darts, one at Dwight (made miss chance, 76), one at Vedik. Dwight: hit touch AC 36, 8 damage, fort save 25 or 5 str damage VedikL hit touch AC 22, 6 damage, fort save 25 or 5 str damage
W1 then shifts a few feet, and attacks Monthor alongside the fish. His trident hits twice (AC 38 and 31) for 23 damage (10+13), and his tail hits AC 33 for 13 damage and 6 electric.
W2 fires darts at Tratain and Plyf (made miss chance, 97). Plyf: touch AC 26, 4 damage, fort 25 or 5 str damage Tratain: touch AC 23, 6 damage, fort 25 or 6 str damage
W2 then attacks Tratain with its Trident and Plyf with its tail. Its tail passes harmlessly through Plyf as she blinks into the ether (rolled 35).
The trident misses Tratain three times (AC 14, 26, 40), causing the warrior to roar in rage.
At the same time, three more eel-men arrive, swimming in at top speed, tridents raised and ready to strike.
W5 slams into the elemental, stabbing it with its Trident, hitting AC 39 for 14 damage (if it hits).
W4 attacks Vedik with its Trident, hitting AC 32 for 13 damage.
W3 attacks Tratain, missing him.

Plyf is once again effrected by the dart and now knows her feeble attacks are worthless, so she calls to her comrades, "It's time to leave guys!" she shouts. "Whoever is coming with me to shore, touch me now." She hopes Dwight can swim toward K23 near her. She waits until as many people as possible touch her before teleporting to shore next round.
ooc: I don't know how long the ring of blinking has been going, but I think it only lasts seven rounds.

Dwight takes a dart, and failes his save (unless Inspire Courage is still active?) and suffers 8 pts damage and 5 str. loss.
Looking to Monthor, Dwight realizes Fred is his best chance to see the surface alive again and thus cast Enlarge Person on him (Blink passed) Monthor Grows in size

Vedik looks to see what has made Plyf panic, expecting to see some new threat other than the fish men. His spiritual hand continues its attack on the first fish man, but proves unable to beat the creatures defenses. He again calls on Alemi to heal the party, cursing as he mistimes Plyf's blinking again.

OOC: DM, I was reminded last night that blinking allows me sneak attack damage. I will post the last two attacks I made and if you don't want to allow them due to my poor memory, I understand.
Plyf does begin to panic. She is very good at running, but when no one takes her up on her offer of escape, she grits her teeth with her very poor strength and continues to attack the warrior that is in front of her. She continues to stab at the warrior in front of her unless he is dead, then she moves taking a five foot step toward W3 at I23.
Striking at W2 or W3 hitting AC 30 and 23 doing -2 or zero damage and -2 or zero damage, but it is her Sneak attacks that can be lethal doing 17 damage and 29 more.

Underwater Battle, round 5 - DM Matt Monday January 5th, 2009 4:45:14 PM
Tratain's spiritual hammer and the summoned elemental strike W1 again, while Tratain heals Monthor, erasing any sign of prior injuries.
Plyf, her strength depleted, calls to her companions to return to shore. [OOC: this is the start of the fifth round. When you post your action responsive to this post, it will be your fifth round of blinking. So in essence, you have 3 posts of blinking left, 5, 6, and 7]
[OOC2: I forgot as well, not just your fault. I've added the damage]
Monthor yells to Plyf to stand her ground, then cuts a few chunks out of F1, causing the fish to moan as it begins to counterattack.
Dwight decides that Monthor is the Knights' best hope, and casts enlarge, causing the dwarf to grow to twice his previous size.

Dart attacks (all darts rolled at once for simplicity) Each person gets 1 dart, elemental gets 2 darts. Tratain touch AC 23, 6 damage, 7 strength with failed save Plyf touch AC 18 (miss chance irrelevant, natural 1) Vedik touch AC 18 (another one...)

W1, seeing Monthor as the biggest threat, switches targets, stabbing his trident at the dwarf. The trident hits AC 40, 32, and 26 (miss), for 25 damage (12+13). It's tail hits AC 38 for 16 damage and 5 electric damage.
W2 stabs at Tratain, hitting AC 34, 29, and 27 (all miss), and swings its tail at Plyf, missing as Plyf blinks out of materialness.
W3 attacks Tratain, angered by its comrades' inability to hurt the protector. Its trident hits AC 34, 18, and 31, causing the eel-man to scream in rage. It's tail swings at Tratain's head, missing again (AC 32).
W4 stabs at Vedik, hitting AC 23, 26, and 13 (nat 1), all missing, and swings its tail at Dwight, hitting AC 35 for 11 damage and 7 electric. (made miss chance with 83)
W5 continues attacking the elemental, its trident hitting AC 39, 26, and 29, for 13 total damage after DR (12+15+16=43-30=13), and its tail hits AC 32 for 4 electric damage (after DR).
All Highlight to display spoiler: {Judging from the lackadaisical damage I did this turn, this is likely the standard point at which the battle turns and the Knights systematically annihilate everything I have for them...}

Tratain and the Elemental are both hit by the Darts, but manage to fight off the effects, (Fort Saves, 46 31 and 26) (The Elemental is immune to Critical Hits, and also to Poison if that is how the darts deal ability damage it might matter how for Dwight as I have Delay poison on him.)
Tratain's Spiritual Hammer continues to attack W1 (Hit AC 29 for 9 Damage;Crit AC 38, Confirm Crit AC 25 for 28 Damage; Hit AC 24 for 9 damage)
The Elemental Continues its attack Against W1 as well (Hit AC 31 for 20 Damage; Hit AC 26 for 23 Damage)(On the Off chance W1 is killed at any point by the Elemental he cleaves to W5, Hit ac 24 for 19 Damage. W5 is The elementals Secondary Target incase W1 dies at any point.)
Seeing the Darts taking thier toll on Plyf, Tratain pulls out his restoration wand and uses it upon Plyf to cure her strength Damage.

Vedik ponders where the familiar feeling of a poison tipped barb in his skin is. He doesn't waste too much time thinking on it, since seeing his spiritual hand continue to utterly miss brings that sense of normality back to the fight. He reaches up and heals the now large and within reach Monthor.

Dwight feels the needle of the dart (takes 8), but manages to ignore the strength drain. (Save: 29)
Hoping to be even more aid to Monthor (so he can save us all), Dwight attempts to cast another spell. (Blink: 59) Monthor gets Bear's Endurance
Bear's Endurance: The affected creature gains greater vitality and stamina. The spell grants the subject a +4 enhancement bonus to Constitution, which adds the usual benefits to hit points, Fortitude saves, Constitution checks, and so forth.
Hit points gained by a temporary increase in Constitution score are not temporary hit points. They go away when the subject's Constitution drops back to normal. They are not lost first as temporary hit points are.

Plyf is getting close to losing her blinking ability, so she goes all out hoping she doesn't have to rage this battle. She continues to attack the wounded opponent.
Hit AC 32 and 34 (Almost a critical) doing 0 and 0 but also causeing 18 and 24 from her knowledge of sensitive areas of most bodies.
Tratain's spiritual hammer hits the eel-man three more times, the final strike smashing the warrior into the ocean floor, lifeless.
The elemental, finding his target dead, turns to W5 and swings its massive, watery fists, hitting the warrior twice squarely in the chest.
Tratain taps Plyf with a wand.
Tratain and Plyf Highlight to display spoiler: { Tratain rolled d100 (39), but I don't know if that was success or failure for you. Did you say so somewhere? Just specify if the wand use made the miss chance or not. Thanks}
Monthor, excited at his new size, as well as Fred's, ignores his bloody wounds and chops a few more pieces off the fish.
Vedik heals some of Monthor's wounds.
Dwight, at the same time, casts another spell on Monthor, giving the dwarf added stamina and survivability.
Plyf takes a few more stabs at the nearby warrior, managing to prick a vital spot in the eel-man's abdomen. (W2?)
F1 continues its toe-to-toe battle with Monthor, first biting then slapping at him with its tail. Both hit AC 43, for 43 damage (28 and 15).
dart attacks: one at each Knight, two at elemental (not rolling if he is immune, but the warriors don't know that) Tratain: touch 31, damage 3, 2 STR Plyf: (miss chance passed, 73) touch 32, damage 3, 5 STR Vedik: touch 29, damage 7, 4 STR Monthor: touch 36, damage 3, 6 STR Dwight: (miss chance passed, 73) touch 30, damage 6, 8 STR
(apply delays, immunities, etc. as appropriate)
W2, finding Tratain un-hittable, focuses on Plyf. Its trident hits AC 23, 24, 19, for 30 damage (15, 15, missed due to blink), and its tail hits AC 36 for 10 damage and 5 electric damage. (made 3/4 miss chances, 82, 100, 29, 62)
W3, being far more stubborn, takes one more shot at Tratain, missing with three trident stabs (38, 24, 26) as well as its tail (30).
W4 stabs at Vedik, hitting AC 36, and missing twice (22, 25), for 11 damage. It swings its tail at Dwight (made miss chance, 75), hitting AC 26 for 12 damage and 8 electric damage.
W5 continues attacking the elemental, hitting AC 42, 31, 27 for 43 damage (15, 14, 14), and its tail hitting AC 29 for 12 damage and 7 electric.

OOC: Plyf is attack W2, yes. Plyf is also staying with the low rolls on Blink so high rolls hit. One more thing, I'm a bit confused about this sentence and I wonder how much damge she takes. "AC 23, 24, 19, for 30 damage (15, 15, missed due to blink), " Does this mean one attack that hits does 30 damage?
Tratin attempts to heal Plyf, but she winks out of sight as he does so. When next she arrives she takes a few more hits, but at least she still has some strength to continue on. After blinking out once again she returns to attack the warrior fish man. "You should have been more friendly you scum of the sea!"
Attacks on W2 causes 1 and 0 damage her sneak attacks causes 23 and 24 more.

Tratain is hit by the dart again and is again able to fight off the effects (Fort save 46).
Tratain switches the Spiritual Weapon to W5 and it Hits AC 35 for 8 Damage.
The Elemental Continues its attacks on W5 (Hit AC 29 for 20 Damage, Hit AC 39 for 22 Damage)
Tratain then uses his Protector Draw Fire Ability and attempts to goad the Remaining enemies into attacking him instead of his Allies. (Will save DC 20 for all attackers, If they Fail they must attack the Protector instead of thier normal targets.)
OOC: High is always good for me when rolling Miss Chances. As Tratain has See invisibility Permanent, the miss chance for Blink is only 20%. So the check passed and All of Plyfs strength damage is healed.

Vedik shrugs off the poison barb again, but starts to worry about the strength of some of his companions. He follows the battle leader and sends his spiritual weapon against the fifth fishman. Unfortunately the weapon fails to strike. He then pulls out a wand and uses it to raise the morale of the group.

Monthor whacks the fish a few more times, finally felling the great beast. The fish, parts hanging off on all sides, falls to the ocean floor with a muffled thud.
Plyf delivers another pair of precise jabs at the eel-man. [OOC: sorry, that was 30 total damage over three hits. The first two did 15 damage each, the third missed]
Tratain's hammer and the elemental pound on W5, inflicting even more damage. Tratain attempts to force the enemies to attack him directly (will deal with that on enemy actions).
Vedik uses another wand to help his comrades fight with renewed vigor and strength, though unfortunately, it misses Plyf. It seems Plyf blinks to the ethereal plane a bit more often than does Dwight...
Dwight again casts a spell on Monthor, attempting to increase the dwarf's strength. [does Monthor already have any strength enhancements? If so, this won't stack. Dwight can repost if need be and I'll modify as necessary]
The eel-men, seeing one of their own number dead, and both of their fish destroyed by a single dwarf, apparently decide that in this case, discretion is certainly the better part of valor. "Fall back," one calls out. "Regroup. We'll deal with the land-walkers soon enough."
"You foolish dry-skins!" another one laughs. "You should give us the orb and be done with the whole mess."
Three of the eel-men (W3, W4, and W5) swim upwards and over the buildings.
Tratain can take an AoO on W4.
The elemental can take an AoO on W5.
One of the eel-men (W2) moves to follow his comrades, but looks back at Tratain. "Aarrghh!" he bellows. "I'll gut you yet, dry-skin!"
Tratain Highlight to display spoiler: {The dwar fire ability is unclear. It could mean (1) the enemy MUST attack you, or it could mean (2) if the enemy attacks anyone, it has to be you. Since I can't tell, I'm going with the first option, but I just want to be clear that I could be wrong. I don't want to lock Dan or a future DM into something that may or may not be right.}
W2 stabs his trident at Tratain, missing three times, then swats with his tail. His anger is such that he can't even focus on his attacks, all of them going wide.
He does manage to launch a pair of darts at Tratain, hitting touch AC 31 and 32, for a total of 10 damage (7+3). Fort saves: first = 5 str. second = 3 str.
[for reference, W3 went up then over the middle-left building. W4 and W5 went up then over the middle-right building.

Vedik waits for the last fish man to fall and the group to have a moments rest. He then gestures to Plyf, beckoning her closer. He points to the surface and pulls out another wand.
He then dimension doors himself and her to the boat, and once aboard takes a drop of woldblood out of storage and anoints her tunic, blessing and strengthening it.
He then uses the wand to return them both to the party.
OOC: UMD Dimension Door wand (If we're more than 760 feet from the boat, he'll d-door as many times as needed) Wolds Blood: Magic Vestment on Plyf's tunic, giving it a +4 enhancement bonus to its 0 AC. (Wont stack with your bracers of armor, so it should be a net gain of 3 AC) If its more than 760 feet just let me know how many D-Doors I need to use on the wand.
Plyf (AC:15/11 w/o dex; HP: 43-/118; Low light vision; Blinking, strength drained) d20+10=26 ; d20+15=26 ; d4-3=-2 ; d4-3=-2 ; 6d6=18 ; 6d6=16 ; d20=13 ; Thursday January 8th, 2009 3:06:10 PM
Plyf waits to see if the creature falls unconscious from the nonlethal attacks from the others. If it is still up though, she continues the attack on W2 until she sees it's eyes close.
If the creature goes down though, she keeps a watch for more hazards to come.
Attack W2 if still up hitting AC 26 and 26 for 0 and 0 plus 18 and 16
Spot 23 (sorry, didn't add the +10 to the check.)

As a temporary lull in the fighting occurs,Dwight looks to Tratain or Vedik, he motions to his biceps and then points down and wobbles a bit, feigning out weak he is likely to become soon after so many darts.
OOC: Dwight will have a -3 str, once the delay poison wears off. This is bad, unless of course the poison wears off around the same time? Anyone have knowledge poison/aquatic?
Knowledge:nature: 10 craft:alchemy: 26 heal: 15 (Trying to determine how long str. drain will stay in effect)
spot: 24 (anything moving towards us?)
Still blinking, unless someone is going to cast something on him, then he will stop.
Post-battle - DM Matt 2d6=6 ; Friday January 9th, 2009 4:05:22 PM
[Dwight's previous cure is fine, and noted]
Tratain takes a parting shot at W4, hitting the warrior as it swims away. The elemental misses its target, but speeds off after the eel-men, easily keeping pace up and over the building.
Monthor helps Tratain subdue the remaining warrior. A few shots from Tratain, and one from Monthor, and the eel-man slumps in the water, floating helplessly, his trident falling to the ocean floor. [Fred the axe still deals holy damage when striking nonlethal. I added the 2d6 from the first hit, though it's really academic since the eel-man is entirely unconscious]
Vedik grabs Plyf and teleports to the boat, where the dwarf quickly provides some magical protection for Plyf's tunic, then teleports both back underwater.
Plyf looks around for any more dangers, but sees nothing. After a few more moments of calm, some of the small local fish return to their business in the area, a few scavengers even beginning to munch on the large, dead fish.
Dwight signals to Tratain that he is beginning to feel weak.
Heal check DC 20 Highlight to display spoiler: { You realize that anyone actually affected by the poison is likely to begin suffering more ill effects pretty quickly after the initial effect. Dwight (and others) could be in serious trouble. (OOC: you also recall that you can make heal checks to replace the subject's fortitude save, whichever is higher is used as the save vs poison)}

Returning to find the fishman unconscious, Vedik ponders their actions. He decides it prudent to begin to heal their wounds. He points at Dwight, and waits for him to end the blinking effect. Then he begins to heal the party, starting with a mass cure serious wounds.
He then takes out a wand, and points at it then pointing at Tratain.
