Swan Boat [DM SteveK] 
Saturday February 19th, 2011 10:44:48 AM

ooc: Had to do some looking up from Al's posts. :-) After consulting both the 3.5 PHB and DMG, here is my DM ruling.
- Freedom of Movement enables normal movement.
- Normal movement in water requires a swim check.
- Fly and Freedom of Movement spells underwater enable a character to 'Fly' unimpeded underwater without penalty.
- Underwater movement can be in any direction with perfect maneuverability
- Swim Check enables swim at 1/4 speed per move action (unless have swim speed)
- Armor penalty is doubled in water.
- Marut is in full plate (-6 armor check; -12 underwater).
- Underwater right here is considered 'calm' water Swim DC10; Surface here is 'choppy' Swim DC15.
- I couldn't find any rules for sinking in water! (can you believe it?)
- DM Ruling is if a character doesn't try to swim, they can sink at 30 feet per round irrespective of weight/drag/physics (to keep it simple)

Sooo....
- Peerimus and Yorrick can swim 5 feet per move action underwater with a Swim DC10 check at +0 Swimming (ie: if try to swim, they have 50% chance of moving 5 feet)
- Any hero can swim 1/4 speed per move action underwater with a Swim DC 10 skill check pending double armor penalty.
.....................

Peerimus and Yorrick just demonstrate a valuable lesson for the Children of Chaos; it IS possible for heavily armored creatures to swim in water if they try! As soon as they break the surface, Yorrick demonstrates a second lesson; it is easier to swim under the water than among the choppy waves. The marut-bear's head breaks the water and immediately is swamped by a wave!

Rash and Torgon jump in and don't try to swim. Along with Kazak, the three don't try to swim and so decend 30 feet.

Xenia uses her Fly ability with the Freedom of Movement, and discovers that the combination allows her 'normal' flying movement underwater. She can hover and dart in any direction as fast as Firn'gaer!

Firn'gaer casts his spells and waits for everyone to move down as a group.

.................

ooc: Durgan is staying in the boat until Brian returns from a Walkabout. All heroes who are going on this adventure are already in the water. Due to knowledge of the exact location, the Swim Dc 10 checks available, and the maneuverability of two of the team's members for 'helping' anyone along, the Children of Chaos will be able to stay together, get to the bottom, and be fairly near the Portal at the next Post.

ooc: I'll work on the map. Very basic. Flat basalt ocean floor. 15x10 foot rectangle jade alter in front of a 40 foot long arch of stone.

Peerimus AC 31 HP 146/146 and Yorrick AC 46 HP 160/160 (Sub/Al) 
Saturday February 19th, 2011 6:39:06 PM


Yorrick lets out a moan of irritation as he is tossed by the waves. From the mouth of the Marut the cries of the bear sound of stone and grinding metal. The bear, not unskilled in the ways of swimming the seas though, allows himself to sink below and recaptures his stability

"Have your magic ready for the sacrifice!" Peerimus the Marut calls out in a voice as hard and mechanical as that of his ursine friend. He waves a large metal hand at Durgan, waiting on the boat. "If we are not back before the day is done, return to shore," he calls. "The boat will not last much beyond that."

Then Peerimus allows himself to sink down through the dark waters, to the bottom of the ocean. From there, he orients himself upon the axis of Mother Wold, and leads his fellow Champions to the glyph laden arch of stone and it's altar of pure jade.

Firn'gaer follows along. The serene glide of the Manta Ray matches is inner calm. The wizard catalogs his list of magic imbued supplies. There is nothing in his mind that can be so easily discarded as Xenia's arrows. There is, however, the Everburning Torch. Hopefully, that will do.

Xenia (AC33, HP115/115); Sylvia (AC13, HP19/19) 
Sunday February 20th, 2011 6:59:01 PM


"Hold onto my feet, Momma Rash." Xenia lays her arms to her sides and flies through the water, straight as an arrow. As the light from above fades away, the water about her turns to shades of gray. Not that there's anything to see in the open water. Sylvia, flying close by, appears oblivious to the eerie eternal night of the deep ocean.

The bottom arrives soon enough, but by this time, Xenia has lost track of how long they have been down. All she can do is follow close to Peerimus and hope they finish this before the magic runs out.

The heroes descend into the depths, soon only Torgon's Daylight spell giving any illumination.

Breathing water and the cold water would be a problem for many Noble Races, but magic supports all the heroes.

The crushing depths are another matter. Only Firn'gaer is safe from the water pressure, and by the time the heroes touch the rocky bottom of the ocean, Torgon, Kazak, Rash, Xenia, Peerimus, and Yorrick feel the pressure twice. ooc: All must Fort save Dc 15 or 4 damage and again Fort Save DC 16 or 5 damage.

With Torgon's Daylight to shine the way, the group of heroes see they have arrived right on top of the alter and portal. Freedom of Movement spells enable the heroes to walk and/or fight without impediment.

Monday February 21st, 2011 2:36:00 PM


Xenia shakes her head. She feels the loose flaps of her head scarf as they are tugged by the encumbering water. Something is making her ears funny down here. She flies over to the altar and turns in place, presenting herself to the other Chaos Guys. She points to herself and then points to the stone arch. Her mouth forms the words. Me first. The she shakes her head again. There's just something about being underwater that makes you not want to talk.

"I'll go first," she says, her underwater voice sounding odd in her ears. "Here, take an arrow." Xenia offers one to each of the Children of Chaos. "They're electric magic." The bundle of ten arrows in her hand give off small sparks of electric energy in the watery environment. Xenia places two on the altar, one for each herself and Sylvia. Then she beckons to the shadow before activating both of her rings. They then both go through.

Although he accepts the magic arrows from the half-drow rogue, Peerimus remains back at a distance, watching while she makes her offering and then attempts to pass through the portal. If it is to be this simple, then so be it. If not ...

"Be vigilant, my friend," the druid in construct form says to his friend and companion. He then explains what may happen for the benefit of the simper intelligence of the bear. "If Xenia's offering is rejected, the guardians of this are may appear. They will seem clear and insubstantial, like smoke, or the light upon the water. Watch for them. Listen. If you detect them, we may be forced to fight."

"Lhari?" Firn'gaer looses the cloak enough to draw out the staff. "Do you see the altar and the arch beyond it? Do you know anything of it and it's history in relation to the Southern Continent? I can tell you that we are now three hundred feet below the surface of the Platik Ocean, several miles off the coast of the Gray Downs, specifically the Spirit Swamp."

"If it will help, we've been told that this site is supposed to be guarded by two ghostly tritons. We've also been told that when the sacrifice of an item of magic is made upon the altar, passage is then granted through the arch to a place called Fey Skimmir."

"We are particularly interested in knowing just how much magic the altar with accept in order to grant passage."

Rash was going to use a scroll as her sacrifice but feeling the pressure of the water and the obvious wetness, she decides to take an arrow from Xenia. She also waits to see how the sacrifice is taken and if Xenia is able to pass through the portal.

She murmers a prayer to the powers, praying for Xenia's safe passage.

Ghostly Tritons [DM SteveK]  d20+13=25 ; d20+13=27 ;
Tuesday February 22nd, 2011 10:47:49 AM

Firn'gaer asks Lhari, his Staff, if he knows anything about the type of magical item they are seeing here. Besides a powerful offensive tool, Lhari is a historian of all things Children of Chaosish, and was in fact at one time, a heroic wizard in his own right. "I've seen those types of construction before. It looks like it was made by the Teucri, an ancient race that most agree are extinct, but there are artifacts all over the Wold that were made by them. It's facinating really! Oh, how it is activated? Your gnome friend is probably correct. All Teucri artifacts are powered by magic. How much depends on the machine. This one may take a single cantrip level of magic or require a 9th level spell to power up. No way to tell without trying really. Most known Teucri artifacts in use today are only maintained by rote and not an in depth look at the process. Comprehend Language doesn't work on the Teucri glyphs they left behind, of course."

"This particular one, I have no knowledge about. None of the other generations of the Children of Chaos have come this way."


(OOC: Lhari Knowledge checks on CoC and Southern Continent: 25 , 27)

Lhari is willing, even eager to continue this line of academic discourse all day, but he quiets down to observe as Xenia approaches the Jade Alter.

When the little rogue gets within 20 feet of the alter, two ghostly shapes of tritons rise out of the alter and place themselves between Xenia holding her magical arrow and the jade block. Xenia pauses at 20 feet away, but the ghosts don't do or say anything... they also don't get out of Xenia's way.

Xenia (AC33, HP115/115); Sylvia (AC13, HP19/19) 
Tuesday February 22nd, 2011 12:49:34 PM


The dark rogue pulls up short as the two Ghost Fish Guys rise up out of the altar and bar her way. It's not hard to guess what would happen should things go wrong and the altar reject her sacrifice. With her being invisible, the Ghost Fish Guys would go for Sylvia.

"Go wait by the arch, Sylvie." Xenia dismisses the invisibility of the ring and directs her shadow companion to the westward leg of the arch. "If things get rough, you hide. You hear? Don't try fighting them. Understand? We can take care of ourselves."

As the little shadow makes a wide circular path to skirt the altar, Xenia herself proceeds on an unfaltering path that places her directly between the two spectral tritons. Onto the ground she lays the remaining arrows, leaving six in case the other Chaos Guys should need them. The girl rogue takes a deep breath then and puffs it out. "Here goes."

Speaking the words more to bolster her courage than anything else, Xenia says, "I, Alexandria Merryman Next, sacrifice this magic in exchange for passage through the portal." Then she places two arrows on the altar and flies up and over the altar toward the waiting portal.

"Come, Yorrick," Peerimus says in sound and gesture that only his friend will understand. The druid carefully explains the brown bear's role in this situation, and the cues upon which he should take action. "Be vigilant. These may be enemies, but they may not be as well. Watch me, and act when I do."

The two Inevitables converge upon the ghostly tritons, remaining a distance behind as the half-drow girl tests the altar. Peerimus observes events carefully, watchful for signs that the tritons are intent upon attack.

Durgan Stonewall (AC 39; HP 233/322) 
Tuesday February 22nd, 2011 9:44:02 PM

Durgan sinks down through the water, slower than his companions. "Ye'd think the armor woulda got me there quickest!", he says to no one in particular. As he sinks he complains about the fact that if dwarves were meant to be in the water, they'd have been born as fish instead. "it just ain't right. And this is the second time too. Durned current is probably pushing me away from where we was going." With that dark thought, Durgan looks down, trying to see farther through the darkness than his eyes would allow, and hoping he didn't have to start searching the whole bottom of the ocean for his friends and family.

Rash also moves forward holding her holy symbol ready to try and turn or banish the ghosts. She waits to see if they act agressively towards Xenia. If they do she will try and turn them.

I don't have access to my books so I rolled a 20. Don't know my modifiers but I am not hopeful with a roll of a 3

Durgan drops in on the heroes just in time to watch Xenia expose herself to the ghostly tritons.

Xenia moves forward, her body unseen, but she looks like a humanoid-shaped bubble in the middle of the ocean with her invisibility. The Ghost-Tritons make no move as she comes up to the Jade Alter and places a single magical arrow on the alter.

The arrow glows and then winks out.

The Jade Alter glows for a second and then the light fades from there, too.

The water in the Portal begins to glow in a green light, then a tremenddous force sucks Xenia towards the Portal. Xenia and the light from the portal wink out of existance!

None of the other heroes felt any movement in the water. The Ghost Tritons haven't moved.

Observing Xenia's tactics .... the dwarven warrior procedes in similar fashion ..... walking up to the jade alter ..... he holds for the lightning javelin ..... placing it upon the alter ..... then calmly heads between the two ghostly titans

Thinking to himself .... " hopefully we don't get sucked into a prison cell "

Rash says to the others, "Well I guess that answers that. Lets get over there fast. We don't want to leave Xenia without support! Who knows what is on the otherside." Rash will also follow putting Xenia's arrow on the alter and tenses up her body ready for the transport

"You have born witness, Lhari." The wizard proceeds after the others. He reaches out of the cloak and uses the arrows that Xenia has provided. Though it is true that other magic may suffice, why opt for the untested over something that is tried and true?

The massive head of the Inevitable nods in approval. That was well done. The conservation of resources aside, the respect for this altar of an ancient people has also been preserved. Peerimus and Yorrick wait for the others to go through and then proceed last. Peerimus takes the last of the arrows, using two for himself and Yorrick, and then waits to be taken through the portal.

It's not easy to watch two Ghost Fish Guys, one on either side of you. It's especially not easy when you're trying to pretend that you aren't watching them. Trust. Trust in yourself. Sometimes that's all you got. So you just gotta have faith. You gotta have faith that your body will know what to do. It'll protect itself. Trust in that, and do what you have to.

And what do you know? It works. The arrows get sucked down, magic like. Then the portal thing, it starts taking her in. "Sylvie, it worked. C'mon. Lets go. We're going through."
