Caught off balance after his whiffed swing, Jozhur takes a blow to the head from a tentacle and collapses unconscious in the surf.

Yel'kno just healed Dilantar for 7 HP

ooc: Reading through the battle, Dilantar was at -6hp after the AoO and attack from the octopus, and he was then healed +7 by Yel'kno leaving him with a grand total of +1hp
Co-DM Cayzle Monday June 25th, 2012 9:20:07 AM
Hoping for a post from Dilantar.
Yel'kno strikes hard again, the third time in three rounds! The elf maiden squeals in delight, and the sound inspires Yel'kno to further heroism [OOC: please accept a +3 on attacks and damage next round -- if you get a chance to use it!].
Then Yel'kno compounds his prowess with mercy for his friends, taking a five ft step closer to Dilantar and using a wand to rouse him.
"Well, it seems you picked a good one," the elf leader remarks to his daughter.
Coer dreams.
Jozhur dreams with him.
Dilantar dreams too, but he is awakened and finds himself on the ground. Of course, if he were to provoke an AoO by getting up, it might all be for nought. What will he do?
Spire tries to help his friends, but luck is just not with him, and his efforts to offer aid turn out badly. "At least he is trying," one elf maid, a friend of Adrina, says consolingly.
The octopus now has only his one true enemy left, and a miserable Spire. He swipes Spire once with one tentacle, and aims the other seven at Yel'kno!
Spire, it misses you.
Seven tentacles lash out! There is a gasp from Adrina! One hit is a crit threat that is not confirmed. Two more tentacles land. The total damage is 3d4+9 ... the damage is exactly 16! And Yel'kno has exactly 16 hp!
Per the rules, "When your nonlethal damage equals your current hit points, you're staggered. You can only take a standard action or a move action in each round (in addition to free, immediate, and swift actions). You cease being staggered when your current hit points once again exceed your nonlethal damage." Note that you do not lose any more hp by acting (as opposed to when you are dying with negative hp).
Octopus: AC18, Touch 11. Damage: has taken 20 nonlethal.

Yel'kno yells at the octopus in defiance as he gets slapped around and then calls to Spire, "Distract it! Yaaargh" and then drop kicks it. He doesn't expect to be getting up. (Hit AC 17 for 9 damage.. Assist another Spire! Maybe we'll get lucky)

Groaning in pain Dilantar is a little iffy on what is currently happening. Watching Yel'kno get attack by the monster, Dilantar gets angry and stands up to attack the octopus. Should he make it his feet, Dilantar swings with his dagger at his foe, only to miss. Hoping to at least distract their enemy, Dilantar screams wordlessly in almost primal rage.

Coer snorts as a wave breaks on the shore and submerges his hooves. As the wave receds he returns to the task at hand... drooling.

Jozhur lies limp at the water's edge. He tries to stare at the giant octopus, but everything is so blurry...he knows there is no getting on his feet.

Spire's head whips around as someone calls out something in reference to him. His heart is pounding too heard to hear them properly, but he jumps to his feet and begins to launch sand at the Octopus to distract it. (Aid Another 13... man, I hope this works.)
Co-DM Cayzle Tuesday June 26th, 2012 11:13:37 PM
Ugh! Sorry friends! DM Post to come in the evening.
Dilantar tries to rise, and doing so provokes an AoO from the octopus. It lashes out and hits AC12, a miss! He tries to fight, but misses.
Yel'kno tries for one more blow, and manages to hit with the assistance of his friend, Spire. Yel'kno lands 9 hp of nonlethal damage on the octopus, which flinches back.
The octopus divides its attacks at random among Yel'kno (4 tentacles), Spire (2), and Dilantar (2). It hits AC22, a hit that drives our hero into unconsciousness. An attack misses. An attack hits Dilantar and drives him into unconsciousness. Finally, five attacks on Spire hit twice, for 10 nonlethal. With only 9 hp, Dilantar falls to -1, and the last of our heroes hits the sand.
...
...
You all awake at the place on the beach at which you had been feasting with the crew. You all have gained 1 hero points; Yel'kno, Dilantar and Spire, you have earned two. Yel'kno, you find a ring on the ring finger of your left hand. You soon find it is magical. There are no signs of elves or octopus anywhere.
(Mark) Coerator Asterion AC15/14/11 -- CMD 19 -- HP19/19 (-3 non lethal: unconscious) Wednesday June 27th, 2012 7:02:42 PM
Coer awakens to see the empty beach.
Wait... what happened. Did we win?
Yel'kno (Jon) AC 17/14/13 CMD 17 HP 16/22 Wednesday June 27th, 2012 7:29:31 PM
Yel'kno wakes up with a groan and turns just his head to look at the Minotaur. "No... I Believe that we, and," he adds as he looks at the new ring on his finger, "thus the women of Bonetown, have lost.". He sits up then to look down at his legs. "hmm... Thought I would wake up with a ball chained to my leg."
And then he stands up and pats himself down and looks at the ground, looking for that overpriced wand he bought... And looks out to sea to be sure their employer didn't sail off without them.
(Joel) Dilantar Krenwae'afein AC Temp[18/14/14]15/13/12 - CMD 14 - HP 12/12(-6 nonlethal damage)) Wednesday June 27th, 2012 9:22:38 PM Ugh, remind me next time we speak with sea elves to prepare something less lethal than bombs. That was a little embarrassing. Is everyone ok? Dilantar also looks around for their crew and employer.

Jozhur groans, "Ohhggh, my head. Think I'm in one piece though. Where's your lovely bride Yel'kno?"
He checks the area for any sign of the elves or anything they left behind.
Perception: 22

Spire awakens slowly, groaning through the pain. "Ye Gods... just what in the Wold was that?" He looks over at Yel'Kno, quickly scrambling to his feet when he sees the ring. His eyes glow blue with Detect Magic as he tries to determine the item's origin. (Spellcraft 17, unless I can take 10, in which case 23)
Co-DM Cayzle Thursday June 28th, 2012 9:57:16 PM
The heroes look around, a little more than somewhat dazed.
Yel'kno and Jozhur look around. The wand is in a pocket. So too is a token -- in fact, each of you find some item on your persons:
Yel'kno - a lady's comb, carved in polished tortoise shell, with strands of silver hair tangled in it. Coer - a tiny dolphin carved in polished black coral. Dilantar - A small obsidian vial filled with a liquid - a perfume made of ambergris. Jozhur - a small fine pearl. Spire - a star carved in mother-of-pearl
None of these are magical. Each would be worth about 200 gp.
Spire deduces that Yel'kno's ring is basically imbued with the enchantment school. And something else -- it seems linked to him somehow. It is a magic unfamiliar to him.
Dilantar reports that the Lionfish is still offshore. There is a longboat waiting at the outer beach, with a couple sailors waiting.
(Mark) Coerator Asterion AC15/14/11 -- CMD 19 -- HP19/19 (-3 non lethal: unconscious) Thursday June 28th, 2012 10:15:06 PM "I'm tired of this island, lets return to the boat."
Coer stomps off rubing the bruises he recieved from the crafty cephalopod.
(Ian) Spirysn'rar Kilarn AC 18/14/14 - CMD 14 - HP 9/9 Thursday June 28th, 2012 10:42:44 PM
Spire informs Yel'Kno of his new ring, as well as his complete ignorance to its true purpose. "I tire of our luck," he responds to Coer, looking as sour as ever as he rubs his bruises. "Let's get this stinking mission over with. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss Bonetown."
(Joel) Dilantar Krenwae'afein AC Temp[18/14/14]15/13/12 - CMD 14 - HP 12/12() Friday June 29th, 2012 7:39:40 AM Hmmm, this is interesting, I believe I shall keep it Getting up and gathering his things, Dilantar looks to everyone else to ensure they are ready. I believe we all agree that it is time to leave, is there anything anyone needs to do before leaving? he asks with a small grin.
Yel'kno (Jon) AC 17/14/13 CMD 17 HP 16/22 Friday June 29th, 2012 5:53:02 PM
Yel'kno shakes his head and heads to the boat to be taken back to the ship. While in thenboatnhe'll try to take the ring off and see what happens.
(Mark) Coerator Asterion AC15/14/11 -- CMD 19 -- HP19/19 (-3 non lethal: unconscious) Friday June 29th, 2012 5:56:11 PM Anything else thy needs doing? No, I am happy being a bachelor for the moment.
Co-DM Cayzle Friday June 29th, 2012 10:37:08 PM
Yel'kno finds that the ring does not easily come off.
The party oars it back to the Lionfish, which seems to be on fire! No, wait, it is just ablaze with lanterns and torches as the crew works madly to raise the new mast as quick as possible.
Renchild grins like a madman when he sees them! "Are they coming here? Did you get rid of them? How?" he calls down to you.
As you climb up onto the deck, he claps Coer on the back, hard. "Scared them off, did you, minotaur? A hard fellow for a hard job, I always say."
Yel'kno (Jon) AC 17/14/13 CMD 17 HP 16/22 Saturday June 30th, 2012 11:09:17 AM
Yel'kno frowns down at the ring when it does not come off, but he cannot say he is surprised. He looks up at Renchild with a grin, "It seems the elf maidens just wanted some companionship. Pity you returned to the ship and missed out of the fun. Can't say I have had such a... Rigorous courtship in quite some time. I'll have bruises for a week."
"but I think the ship is safe. Once the mast is repaired we should be free to go."

Dilantar follows Yel'kno and corroborates his story. I guess we should look into getting Yel'kno and his new lady After stowing his gear, Dilantar keeps himself ready for action.
(Ian) Spirysn'rar Kilarn AC 18/14/14 - CMD 14 - HP 9/9 Saturday June 30th, 2012 10:06:53 PM
Spire simply nods as Yel'Kno tells the captain what happened. If they're still needed on deck, Spire stay on and do his work begrudgingly. Otherwise, he retreats belowdeck and pours over his books.
(Mark) Coerator Asterion AC15/14/11 -- CMD 19 -- HP19/19 (-3 non lethal: unconscious) Sunday July 1st, 2012 12:08:15 AM "Well captain we all did our part. I can't say we scared them off, but I don't think they will delay our journey" offers Coer and moves to assist the crew with the repairs.
(Brock) Jozhur AC17/14/13--CMD 16--HP -3/19 (nonlethal unconscious) Monday July 2nd, 2012 3:25:25 AM
"These guys were punching an octopus, most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Elves must've been laughing so hard they just let us go."
Jozhur hangs around on deck to see if any help is needed with repairs.
