To trudge through the wet and muddy city with an increased weight would take a long time. Luckily Mother Rillan's home is close to the disguised church.
The door is unlocked, and upon entering a warm fire greets the group. Apparently Mother Rillan wanted to return to a warm home after her evil services. Good thing Magana brought her corpse to enjoy the warmth.
The small house quickly fills up with the various Taurs, and luggage brought from under the temple. The house is quiet except for the rain pouring on the wooden roof. Some of the group go about searching the home. Maybe it is Zeoll's weight, or his keen perception but the aging Liontaur steps on a floorboard, and can tell it is not nailed down. Easily prying the board up, he uncovers a few trinkets of no value unless you worshiped the evil god Mother Rillan did. Obviously used in some sort of evil ritual, there is no doubt that the Mother was as evil as everyone else.
Spire takes a seat on the bed, and with the aid of his magical light tries to read the spell. Not knowing if it is fatigue, or if the spell is too powerful for him, the words on the scroll do not make sense to him. Maybe tomorrow, with some rest, will provide a better understanding.

Frustrated with the scroll, Spire lets out a great sigh before resigning himself to a dark corner of the house, spreading out the bedroll he keeps in his Handy Haversack and settling into a night of fitful, restless sleep. In the morning, he immediately attempts to decipher the scroll once more, determined to copy it into his spellbook. -------------------- If Spire can try again as soon as he gets up, he'll get a 27 for Spellcraft
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Wednesday June 4th, 2014 4:14:11 PM
Sam takes the bed of the "priestess" if no one else claims it. If nothing occurs during the night, Sam gets up and waits to hear the direction proposed by the group.
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 54/60 temp -2STR (raging 66/72)] Wednesday June 4th, 2014 4:46:10 PM
As normal, Terser positions himself to be between Sam and any potential enemies during the night. He's also ready to leap up and slap any people that the voice may take again before they can leave the house. The barricaded door should help with that.
Anyone find any clues as to where they could be keeping this "God" of theirs?
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 33 of 33) Wednesday June 4th, 2014 5:27:11 PM
Zeoll settles in for the night. If Kane is around, he asks the witch to preserve the bodies -- he has a spell for that, right?
He insists that everyone be tied together through the night, so that if the Call sounds, no one will be able to sneak off.

In a way Aexana is happy to see the Priestess was in fact a true follower of this evil-fishy-god-wanabee. It reassures her that they haven't attacked an innocent bystander when they were forced to defend themselves.
As beds are chosen Aexana observes Sam as he claims the soft bed...
"Young Master Sam Snapdragon McFisticuff... I'm sure that bed is big enough for two Gnomes to share?"
Whenever she's up for watch Aex will get up making a sour face... she would have enjoyed a good long undisturbed night for a change...

Coer unwinds the rope from around his waist and ties one end to his belt. He offers the other end to anyone who wishes to tie themselves to a heavy object.
At the end of his watch he wakes up Aex, who appears to have offered to take a shift, and lies near the fire. It has been a long day. "Dont wander off, I need some sleep. I hate this town" he say grumpily before drifting off.

Waking in the morning gives no relief of a true dawn. The gray sky continues, as the wet earth is plagued with more rain. Low thunder echoes in the distance, and flashes of lightning are the only detractor to the gray sky.
Mother Rillan's home is warm, and dry though out the night. Being an evil priestess provides one with the finer things in life.
Spire awakes, and quickly begins deciphering the scroll. The added rest obviously helps, as he quickly reads it as a water-breathing spell.
Zeoll, wishes Kane was still around, but he has headed off to the inn.
The rest of the group untie their rope, get of bed and stretch or come off their watches with no incidents. The quiet noise(besides the weather) is reminiscent of the beginning of this hell when no townspeople were spotted.
The temple is as it was left the night before, no one came out of our went back into the temple. Down in the depths of its belly, the pools are waiting for some visitors.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 38 of 38) d6=6 ; d6=5 ; d6=4 ; d6=2 ; d6=4 ; d6=5 ; Thursday June 5th, 2014 11:04:44 AM
Last Night ... Zeoll uses his remaining Channels to make sure everyone is cured up ... 26 hp healing to everyone, please.
Zeoll prepares a couple different spells today than he did yesterday.
He looks through the various coins found in the loot and takes 25 gp worth of silver. After preparing it, he uses it to cast Bless Water. He figures a vial of Holy Water will be useful today, at the least to desecrate that altar.
Then it is time to head back to the evil temple, and the watery ways under it. Just before entering the building, Zeoll casts Mage Armor, Elf Vision, Guidance, Taur's Try (minotaur version), and Nemesis Insight.
Sorcerer spells: Cast: 1 of 5 (mage armor) Laughing Touch: used 0 of 7. Channel Energy 1d6: used 0 of 7. Fey domain: Hide Away: used 0 of 7. Spread the Word: used 1 of 1.
Current effects: Mage Armor (4 hours), Nemesis Insight (5 hours), Elf Vision (50 minutes), Taur's Try and Guidance recast as needed.
OOC: I had last updated my sheet in January, so I brought it up to date with the following changes: Used: Detect Evil Scroll, Two Vials Acid, Obs Mist Scroll, Tanglefoot Bag. Used a hero point and gained a hero point. Gained a Pearl of Power lvl 1.
We also have the following loot:
Magical 1 x +1 Breastplate 2 x Bracers of Armor +1 3 x 1st level Pearls of Power (claimed by Zeoll, Spire, Aexana)
Not Magical - (any masterwork?) 4 rapiers 4 heavy steel shields 3 morningstars 3 light crossbows 1 light steel shield 3 quivers w/20 bolts each 3 unholy symbols 200 gp in various coins
I think Coer said he planned to store the unclaimed loot on the Lionfish.

Terser does his best to find something useful to contribute, leafing through whatever texts Sam has found that may be important and reading any that may be in written Common or Dwarven. Might as well try to broaden his horizons, right?
He also limbers himself up so he can accompany whomever is going on the underwater sojourn, asking whomever isn't going to keep an eye on his heavier equipment.
edit: Ooo how about a swim check just in case! 26
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Thursday June 5th, 2014 5:01:51 PM
Sam nervously watches Terser flip through the tome. Every time he flips a page in a way that he thinks is too hard, the gnome butts in and asks the dwarf to be careful. The only thing that only slightly draws Sam's attention from the tome, is his new spiked gauntlet (legacy item). He marvels at the beauty of this gem-encrusted weapon. He shows it off to Terser (both in hopes to distract him from the tome and just to show it off).
"Maybe we should head back to the inn. That other captain wanted us to check on his boat. Also, isn't there supposed to be some event in this little town?"
(StevenVdB) Aexana HP 49/49 - AC16/14/13 / +4 vs Giant - CMD 15 / +1 vs Lizard & Goblinoids Thursday June 5th, 2014 6:01:16 PM
As they wake up Aex takes some time for meditating. Given the plan to go exploring the underwater tunnel system she makes sure to prepare several spells for helping her friends breathing under water.
"I have 3 spells for breathing under water... but this also means I have no healing available... better stay out of trouble... The water breathing spells are for some of you. I will shape change into either a dolphin or a shark. Changing will make sure I can drag those unable to swim..."
As they make their way to the evil temple again Aex observes the water.
"Time to get wet friends... those who can't swim, can hold on to me...
Aex will use her 3 Water Breathing spells on those who want it. She also casts a Speak with Animals spell on Zeoll. Then, she hops in the dark water to check the size of the tunnel system and changes into a medium dolphin or a large shark depending on the width of the tunnels.
Today's Spell List: 0 : Purify Food and Drink, Know Direction, Flare, Mending 1 : Produce Flame, Endure Elements, Cure Light Wounds, Cure Light Wounds, Goodberry + Obscuring Mist 2 : Barkskin, Cat's Grace, Flaming Sphere, Owl's Wisdom + Fog Cloud 3 : Water Breathing, Water Breathing, Water Breathing + Call Lightning

Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 13/13/11 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24 Thursday June 5th, 2014 7:06:29 PM
With the spell in his book, Spire prepares a few instances of Water Breathing before leaving with the group to the temple. "I will go along with Miss Aexana to help guide everyone. Who else will be coming with us? Should everyone come along or only some of us?" The elf seems a bit testier than usual, answering any questions quickly and curtly.
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Thursday June 5th, 2014 7:11:02 PM "What do we do if the swim is longer than the spell will last?"
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Thursday June 5th, 2014 7:56:47 PM
Even with his concern of drowning, Sam will follow Terser's lead.
Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 13/13/11 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24 Thursday June 5th, 2014 9:33:56 PM "Well..." Spire closes his eyes, doing some quick mental math. "I have two iterations of the spell prepared, and Miss Aexana has three. That is a total of five spells, accounting for the time we can each grant the recipient... divided by eight... we could each share the spell for seven point seven five hours if magic worked as such, but unfortunately, it does not. Everyone can have a minimum of seven hours, and a few of us will have eight." -------------------- Here's Spire's math...
Spire's 2 Spells cast @ Level 5 = 20 hours Aexana's 3 Spells cast @ Level 7 = 42 hours = 62 hours total Divided by 8 crew members = 7.75 hours each, but since the spell is divided by hours... Two people will have the spell for 7 hours Six people will have the spell for 8 hours
Am I completely wrong here...? Spire's INT is a lot higher than mine. And finally... Prepared Spells.

As dawn breaks on another dreary day Coer considers the proposed swim.
"Do we know if the pipes will fit a taur? The tunnels were not designed for them so I have my doubts.
Who wants to visit the Lionfish with me?"
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Thursday June 5th, 2014 10:17:52 PM
Sam ponders for another minute and then speaks,"That song caused some to drown themselves in the ocean. We tried to drown ourselves in the pools. Why did the villagers dissapear down the tunnels? Why was it different for them? Maybe they die at the end of the tunnels like everyone else. If only we had more information..."
(As stated before, Sam will follow along)
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 44/49 3 nonlethal Friday June 6th, 2014 4:27:23 AM
Jozhur replies to Sam, half thinking out loud, "If the villagers drowned themselves in the pools, where are the bodies? There were a lot of people for them to all just disappear so quickly."
Not wanting to seem a coward, he forces himself to volunteer to get wet.
"If you have enough spells, I will also go in the water."
Magana (Craig) [HP 60 of 71] Friday June 6th, 2014 10:31:37 AM
Magana responds to Coer. "I will help you carry the loot to the Lionfish while mages wrestle with the logistics."
Dm Shawn - A Familiar Home Friday June 6th, 2014 11:58:35 AM
Coer and Magana want to return the loot and booty to the Lionfish while the "smarter" members break down the logistics of the math. (OOC: That looks right Ian).
Sam wants to check on the ships in the harbor for the captains.
Zeoll stocks himself up on holy water, and spells. Wisdom comes with old age.
Those who peeked at the tunnels, know they are about 8' wide, circular. More then enough room for a minotaur, and even a liontaur to fit.
Is the group waiting for Magana and Coer, are Magana and Coer going to use the tunnels, is the entire group going to head to the Lionfish first?
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 38 of 38) Friday June 6th, 2014 12:37:46 PM
Zeoll suggests everybody going to the Lionfish first, then everybody going back to the evil temple and into the tunnels.
And he is in favor of using the party's resources to get everybody breathing water for the 7 hour duration, just before entering the temple (the same time he is planning to buff himself up).
Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 13/13/11 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24 Friday June 6th, 2014 1:53:58 PM "I believe a trip to the Lionfish would not go amiss. Perhaps one group can check the boat, and one group can check in at the inn to assure those there that we are not dead yet." Spire volunteers to go to the inn and will go there as soon as someone volunteers to help him.

Head straight back and we will go downstairs when we have all returned."
Coer gathers the items, and when his friends are ready heads out into the cold miserable day.

" Aex says as she preps for a quick visit at the Inn, " Splitting up in this town doesn't exactly sound like the safest thing to do... if we all go together we'll loose some time to explore the tunnels but at least we'll all be together. What if this eerie sound comes back while we're split up?!? We will then slap us in the face before we go drown ourselves. IF this sound is indeed created by someone or something it might very well be able to spy on us and use the sound burst at the most ideal moment... when we're weak from not staying together...

Dm Shawn - Back to the Inn/Ship Monday June 9th, 2014 1:10:19 PM
Zeoll, Jozhur, Aexana and Spire head for the inn. On the way, no villagers are seen. No lights behind doors or windows. No sense of life anywhere. If the town was deserted before, it is lifeless now.
At the inn, it takes a brief moment for the people inside to un-baricade the door. Before pleasantries can be exchanged Captain Kreel steps forward. "Is it safe to get out from this flea pit? Did you do your job?"
On the way to the ship, the muscle of the group and Sam, also notice nothing of any lifeforms. Carrying the treasure to the ship is easy and uneventful. On the docks, the same three ships(other then the Lionfish) are in dock. Magana does notice a pirate or privateer milling about on their respective ship, but that was how the docks were left before the temple.
Magana (Craig) [HP 60 of 71] Monday June 9th, 2014 4:08:49 PM
"It's too quiet," Magana mutters to Coer. "It's like they have decided they bit off more than they can chew in suckering us to this island, and are hiding in hopes we will leave."
She shrugs her burden into a more comfortable position. "I get irritated when someone tries to sucker me. I want to pound that someone. Soon."

Having little ability to help, Sam observes the loading of the Lionfish. The lack of villiagers tells him one thing. The group is clearly on their own. Kane surely will have his work cut out for him.
Once the boat is loaded, Sam heads to the inn to find the others. He finds himself with little other option but to join in the underwater adventure.

"You have been nothing but a detriment ever since we had the misfortune of allowing you into our lives, and I grow sick and weary of dealing with the attitude of a coward who could not be bothered to check on his own crew, while ours has been out risking out lives to save your worthless hide. Were it up to me, I would have let you and your men drown in the ocean, but I serve a higher being now." Spire's finger wanders dangerously close to the Captain's neck as he continues. "I would ask you kindly to keep a civil tongue in your mouth when addressing those who are on a mission to save not only you but a large majority of the lives on this stain on our map masquerading as an island." With that, Spire spits out an elven curse that bears not repeating before storming from the inn, muttering under his breath every curse he can think up in the various languages he knows.

Creel pulls his face away from Spire's finger. " You better watch that... "he says", Elf knuckles are a delicacy where I am from. " The smile on his face hides if he is joking or not, but by the way the man has acted anything is possible. He turns to look at Jozhur, Zeoll and Aexana in turn, obviously not intimidated by them.
As the tension is thick, it is Jozhur who hears a clanking coming from the kitchen area. No one else seems to hear the sound. As quickly as it comes, it goes.
At the docks, the tension is less, but still existent. The treasures are loaded onto the Lionfish. The boat itself is still in good shape, lazily going with the flow of water in the bay. The other ships are quiet, the men and women on watch, not even popping their heads over the railings to take a look at the crazy people loading a ship in the rainstorm.

Dm Shawn - Back to the Inn/Ship Wednesday June 11th, 2014 5:38:31 PM
For the group that ventured the docks, the walk back to the temple is nothing short of boring. The rain and thunder still echo throughout the empty town. Fear of the sound coming back any moment, is the only thing keeping them on their toes. The alderman's house is a possible exploration spot... but will wait till after the swim.
Back at the inn, Jozhur moves to the kitchen busting through the door to see Piotr in the middle of dumping the acrid-smelling contents of a bottle into the kettle of chowder that's been simmering at the edge of the fire since the first Call o' the Sea. He begins to stammer through an excuse before clumsily throwing the bottle at Jozhur. He turns to run but quickly sees no exit.
"Please, please dont hurt me.... please. "

As Jozhur spurts forward to the kitchen and catches Piotr read handed Aex is glad she's on the right team! Her new found friends truely are remarkable!
If able she checks the bottle while the others detain Piotr... being a herbalist and potion adept she hopes to be able to identify the acrid smelling liquid... (Herbalist 24 - knowledge nature 13)

"Oh, this being elderrly is killing me," he kvetches. "I am missing things left and rright!"

As the group waits at the temple, Sam pulls out the evil tome and begins researching the "god" that they are about to hunt. He looks for any detail that might give them an edge in the upcoming battle.
Ooc-Not sure if a roll is required. If it is knowledge, I'll "take 10" for the roll. I figure the knowledge is coming from research and not in Sam's head, so whatever you like! :)

Jozhur advances towards Piotr and draws his sap, "Why shouldn't I beat you to a pulp? What was in the vial and who put you up to this?"
He motions to Aexana that he needs a rope. He looks around to see if there is something else he can use to tie the adulterer up. He also listens for any reaction from those outside the kitchen.

The man thrashes about, his face repelled from the jug like two ends of a magnet. "Please, don't hurt me. All my knowledge is yours."
Aexana and Jozhur hear the kitchen door creak open as the three captains enter the small kitchen.
"Ever the heroes?" Kreel says with a little laugh.
At the Temple, Magana looks about for clues but only comes up with false holy symbols of the good gods.
Sam reads his book, stopping on a nice grousome chapter discussing the sacrafices into the ocean.
Making good time, Zeoll and Spire catch up with their friends at the temple.

The usually calm Jozhur is obviously furious, "What is wrong with you, trying to poison people?! As if it isn't bad enough people are marching into the ocean to drown themselves? Who put you up to this?"
He turns and points his sap at Captain Kreel, as if it was a hand crossbow and he was going to shoot the man. He stares the captain down while he waits for a response from Piotr.

I don't remember the name "Piotr" from before. Would Jozhur recognize him as a member of one of the crews?

Sam smiles at Coer's remark.
"I got it from someone from the Giggling Ghost. I'm not sure exactly who he was, but he seemed to take interest in my mission to join the Sage's Guild. It writes and helps me learn."
With that Sam quietly mutters a word. The gauntlet's index finger glows with a soft light. Sam writes "Sam was here" in bright green ink on the temple floor.
"Pretty neat huh?"

Sam looks at his handy work in shame. Although knowledgable about many things, the gnome still finds himself in the role of the child or follower. He gets to his feet and scuffs the floor with his boot. The magical writing is still visible.

As if to show anger a giant bolt of lightning hits the top of the church, sending sparks and broken wood down to the ground below. As quickly as it comes, it goes just leaving the rain and thunder.
Magana, who is pacing outside is jealous of the damage being caused, and decides to lend her help. Punching at the broken part of the church, and causing a nice chunk of damage herself. A little happy with herself, she is caught off guard when a bundle of paper come sliding out of the hole she left.
At the inn... Aexana can tell by the acrid smell that the jug contained a poison she has heard of before, Oil of the Striped Toadstools. It effects the mind and makes the senses dull.
Kreel, takes the threat, and turns back and leaves the kitchen. Piotr looks from him to Jozhur, as if he knows his last chance for help just left the room.
"We do it for Billoopl. Bittern lead us to him, after the Voice started."
Magana (Craig) [HP 71 of 71] Friday June 13th, 2014 10:36:05 PM
Magana quickly snatches up the bundle of paper to save it from the wind and rain, and stuffs it in her pack to keep it dry. She then checks the hole for any more hidden surprises.

Aex stands with the bottle containing the remaining of the vile smelling poison. This organisation goes deep on this Island or so it seems. She's not sure though if people follow this Billoopl out of beliefs of fear.
"Jozhur, " Aex says to her Rogue friend, "Let's take this man to our friends so we can question him. We shouldn't do this here... not with all these bystanders. Let's tie him up and go to the others. I'm sure Piotr here has a lot to say..."

Dm Shawn - Back to the Inn/Temple Monday June 16th, 2014 3:24:02 PM
Aexana makes a suggestion to bring the prisoner to the rest of the group to answer the questions. It is obvious though, the added muscle isn't needed to break him as he just continues to talk.
"The townspeople... we worship Billoopl. The entire town, The alderman summoned a seaspawn, and they brought with them the Voice of Billoopl. It is a statue set up on its own alter."
At the temple, the group still waits.Not knowing if the lightning bolt was natural or not, the group lets Sam know to not deface the church anymore.
Magana quickly snatches the bundles of paper, and checks the hole to find the bundle was the only thing kept in there.
Spire reminds everyone that Aexana is needed to breath underwater.

Magana (Craig) [HP 71 of 71] Tuesday June 17th, 2014 2:02:38 PM
Magana returns to the main floor of the church, and leans against a wall as she reviews the papers she found.
"I found these papers in a damaged part of the church's structure." She passes them around to see who can make the most sense of them.
Dm Shawn - Back to the Inn/Temple Tuesday June 17th, 2014 5:02:03 PM
Piotr looks nothing short of frightened. His eyes are starting to moisten, and his nose is running.
"The statue is kept safe in the Seapawn Cave located north of town...the road north leads to the only way for non-swimmers to enter the cave a cliff above the opening. " He says, as he wipes his face with his shoulder.
When Aexana and Jozhur start hustling him to the rest of the group, no one makes a nosie from the inn common room. All eyes watch them as they walk out the door. Piotr gives no resistance as he walked/dragged to the rest of the group.
At the temple, Magana passes out the papers she has found, and they are easy enough to read for anyone who can read common. Some minor spelling mistakes aside, the papers are rantings of in love young woman and are written to her journal. She talks of her love for a young man named Alexander, and how he is always with the Alderman down in a sea cave north of town. She talks of secret meetings with him after dark, and how excited she is to share with him in everything he does. She talks of a future with children and a nice house on the side of a mountain. How he is to be a powerful member of the town, and a respected member of their new worship. The final entry talks of one of the secret meetings that she has with him, and how excited he was to share with her the secret the Alderman shared with him.

"Hey Terser. Have you wondered what might happen if we meet this thing wile swimming? I doubt that I'll be able to cast spells or inspire the group. I think we could be at a huge disadvantage."
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 54/60 temp -2STR (raging 66/72)] Tuesday June 17th, 2014 6:02:46 PM This seems promising. Perhaps we can await the next meeting and follow this Alexander back to the cave. We may not have to swim after all.

As Piotr informs them about a temple North of town that could perhaps avoid taking a swim Aexana has mixed concerns... on the one hand, who would expect a number of adventurers to daringly swim through the back door! She assumes the road up to this temple to be quite dangerous... if the Gnome were to protect her hideout she would most certainly rig the entrance with deadly traps. This backdoor is perhaps more likely to be un-protected. On the other hand... these fish worshippers aren't exactly the 'usual'.
Once they are back at the group Aexana says: "Jozhur's keen ears heard this rat playing with poison... I would avoid the Soup of the Day friends... but he has interesting new to share!"
And so Aex tells about the road up to the temple where the statue is held that can be responsible for all these problems.

"But I suppose we should all go. Piotr, do you know about the underwater tunnels? Do they lead to the caves with the statue?"
Maybe a swim is not needed after all he thinks
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Tuesday June 17th, 2014 8:11:58 PM
Sam repeats his concern to the group regarding swimming into a possible trap. He lists the disadvantages and dangers. In the back of his mind the gnome realizes that he is in danger whether swimming or climbing. Per usual, he wonders if this is a time where his help is more of a hinderence than a boon.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 38 of 38) Tuesday June 17th, 2014 8:23:35 PM
Well, no one is more eager to avoid swimming than Zeoll, but he still thinks the water breathing spell is wise, and he says so.
He ponders the wickedness of the residents of this town -- some clearly misled or deluded or uncaring, others genuinely monsterous. The trick will be to kill the latter and reform the former.
Still, he votes to advance through the basement water-tunnels. "Betterr the devil we know," he says.
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Tuesday June 17th, 2014 9:09:24 PM
Sam respectfully listens to the elder Zeoll's wisdom. He carefully retorts, as he is new to the group and is unsure where Zeoll ranks.
"I do see and respect your point Zeoll. As we will be in their environment, they will be at an advantage in underwater combat. I don't think I'll be of any help"
Magana (Craig) [HP 71 of 71] Tuesday June 17th, 2014 11:58:59 PM

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 38 of 38) Wednesday June 18th, 2014 10:00:53 AM
Zeoll was as worried about the climbing as the swimming, but either way, well, okay.
"If it's not one thing that kills you, it's anotherr," he says philosophically. "When you get to be my age, well, you gotta take what Lorrd Garrgul thrrows at you and not worrry."

Sam is relieved to hear that he isn't the only one hesitant to take the swim. He is especially relived that Zeoll took his opinion well.
Sam leans towards Terser,"I'll need your help climbing down. Maybe someone can lower me down on a rope."
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Wednesday June 18th, 2014 5:21:12 PM

Logic in a sense that anyone who got away will be watching it. I woudl have loved a swim but I'm in favour of sticking together. "
Mind you Aexana is also rather old already (73) so she kinda likes the approach Zeoll makes when he says "If it's not one thing that kills you, it's anotherr,". The Gnome smiles and makes a mental note to herself that she should hang Zeoll's quote on the Wall of Quotes in the Giggling Ghost when she's able to visit it again...

Piotr looks like a beaten man, his eyes swollen from tears.
" I don't know of any underwater passages, the Alderman kept a lot to himself. As for the cave for most of the year it is underwater, but for three days in a row, the entrance is revealed at low tide, as is a tiny beachhead. "
He looks around, and for the first time realizes he is the only villager, " What do you plan to do with me, I am not climbing down the cliff."
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Wednesday June 18th, 2014 6:43:17 PM

Sam's stomach turns as the fatalistic statement is made by Spire.
"Spire, he said he doesn't even know how to get there through the tunnel. I do not see how preparing a wrong spell is cause for a brash and possibly unsound decision. I can not justify following you on your reasons. It looks like we are breaking the team up..."
Sam looks for Terser's support, as the dwarf is the only one he is sure will stay by his side.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 38 of 38) Thursday June 19th, 2014 12:42:50 AM
Zeoll curses under his breath.
"Rreally? Must we split up? If so, let me go thrrough the tunnels too. But we should trry to coorrdinate so that we attack at the same moment."
Zeoll explains that in a 10x10 tunnel, with his tower shield, he can hold most foes at bay until the time comes to coordinate a joint attack.
Tunnels: Spire, Jozhur, Zeoll
Cave: Sam, Aex, Magana, Coer, Terser?
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 54/60 temp -2STR (raging 66/72)] Thursday June 19th, 2014 12:43:19 AM That sounds reasonable, Zeoll. Though Aexana could go as a water elemental as well. We can attack if necessary when we get in, and you can rush in from behind when you hear the sounds of battle. We can give you time to get in position, since it will likely take you a bit longer to find your way.

As suddenly the party decides to split up, Aexana is getting nervous... soo many things could go wrong and a split up party is not even half as strong!!
"If some go by the water tunnels I must accompany them. I can shape change into a shark towing anyone through the water and further more I have 3 additional water breathing spells memozised today... The fact that the entrance is but surfaced for 3 days per year it sounds very likely that we'll have to go for a swim anyhow. Unless... Piotr... when do these 3 days occur?? Now?? Is that why these sounds are heard today??"
The group seems to be wasting precious time but this decision is pretty important. In any case, if someone - albeit just one - goes through the water... the druid will accompany him or them...

Coer thinks about Piotr's response and description of the unusual cave.
"Piotr, you say the cave is accessible only three days per year. It wouldn't happen to be one of those three days would it?" he asked the scared villager.
Turning to his friends he explains "We will not be able to coordinate ourselves if we split up. We should swim. However, I want to know if there is a dry exit should the spells wear off"

The group decides weather to split or not. Piotr breaks up the discussion when he laughs at Zeoll's question. "They failed Billoopll, what do you think happened to them fool."
He turns to Coer next. "That is right. This is the most holy of times for us." Coer could tell by his stress level, that the man has been telling good info.

Terser agrees that there is no time to delay. After ensuring that they have enough rope to scale down the cliffside (and back up), he departs, whistling along with Sam.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 38 of 38) Friday June 20th, 2014 4:31:09 PM
Zeoll says, "Wait! Wait! If we arre going to split up, we need to coorrdinate! Herre is how. I cast a Light cantrip on a coin. I hand the glowing coin to Coerr."
"Aexana, Spirre can help the tunnel parrty brreath waterr, but what if the cave parrty needs that too? You go with them. But firrst you cast Light on a coin and give it to me."
"When we can sight the enemy and arre rready to attack, I'll cast anotherr Light, which will turrn the firrst light off. You do the same. So when both lights arre off, then we attack!"

Aex nods at Zeoll, though she's worried for not being with the group that will go under water. If anyone needs the Breath Water spell, Aexana will cast it. What do we do with Piotr??
Then she moves out with Magana, Coer, Sam and Terser... As they go Aexana casts Speak with Animals on Sam and then transform into a tiny Monkey. This allows her to go at 30 ft base speed and will also allow her to easily climb towards the entrance should that be difficult...

Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Friday June 20th, 2014 6:40:50 PM
Seeing that time is a factor and that he is now the slowest member of the team, Sam casts "expeditious retreat" on himself. (Move speed=50 for 6 minutes.)
He winks at Aexana and quickly makes his way. As always, the fragile bard stays near his bodyguard, Terser.

Splitting up, the two groups head off in opposite directions. Three head inside the temple, while the other 5(and their prisoner) head for the cliffs.
Inside the temple Zeoll, Jozhur and Spire make through the carnage that they left behind. The bodies still lay where they fell, and nothing has been disturbed. They quickly get to the pools, and find them just as they were left. The water, dark and still.
The other group take a path up the hill on the north side of town and arrive at the cliffs. Looking down it is a 25 foot drop. Below a rocky beachhead appears everytime the ocean lowers. As quickly as it comes into view, it dissapears again when the next wave hits.
"How you expect me to get down there" Piotr asks.

Terser uses his knowledge of the tides to determine if the water level will get any lower or if now is the best time to go. knowledge nature 19
At the optimal time, Terser ties a loop in the bottom of his rope and secures the top to something at the top of the cliff (rock, tree, etc). Then, he carefully lowers down the rest of the party before following himself. climb check 22
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 38 of 38) Sunday June 22nd, 2014 10:54:58 AM
"Well, Spirre, my frriend! This is anotherr fine mess you've gotten us into!" The old liontaur grins and swishes his tail to show that he is teasing. "Cast us some waterr brreathing -- but not quite yet," he adds.
Zeoll holds onto the coin on which Aexana has cast a Light spell. He knows that when it goes out, the other team is ready to attack.
He hopes Aex or someone on the other team holds onto his coin! He'll cast another Light spell when his team is in place, and then the Light he cast earlier will go out, and the other team will know they are ready to fight.
He mentions that maybe they can advance through the tunnels a bit, then send out a scout, then advance a bit, then scout. He asks if anyone has any ideas on a scout. He wonders if maybe he should summon a fey friend who might be a scout. Thoughts on scouting?
If he summons a fey friend, maybe it would work out best if Spire cast water breathing on it too?

Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Sunday June 22nd, 2014 2:08:11 PM
Sam waits for a stronger party member to climb down first. He then has Terser tie the rope around him so he can be lowered to that waiting member to pull him in.

Aex-Monkey stores away the coin Zeoll gave her. The old liontaur sometimes has some cunning ideas... she might be old but she's not useless yet... the tiny monkey chuckles to herself.
As they go towards the cliff they see the entrance to the cave. As Terser offers to lower everyone down Aex-Monkey shakes her head and says to Sam (who is the only one to understand her right now) that she can easily climb down herself (Monkey's have a 30ft climb speed)
When it comes to Piotr Aex says to Sam: "We'd better drag him along and have him walking in front of us... if the corridors to the temple are rigged he won't just walk into them. Either he's unaware of them or he would be totally fatalistic but... I doubt he is. Perhaps Terser can lower him down? "
When the tide looks right Aexana nimbly climbs down. Her monkey form allows her to go down perfectly... taking care of the slippery rocks of course. (knowledge nature 28 - natural 20!!) Aex can just read the tide and chose the right moment to scale down the slippery cliffs.
Once she reaches the entrance she hides in the shades and away from the water (as good as she can) (Stealth 21 / Perception 31)

Coer raises an eyebrow at Terser's offer to lower them down the cliff. While Terser's arms may be up to the task, the Minotaur's weight may be too much for his rain soaked footing. "I think I will make my own way down."
He considers Piotr. "The fool knows little of the cave and may alert enemies rather than help us. I think we should tie him up and keep him out of trouble here. We can collect him when we have disposed of the false god.
If the others agree Coer will tie Piotr to the nearest tree and then takes the lead down the cliff.

Jozhur checks his various weapons, making sure they won't go anywhere during the swim. He fidgets with his sword and paces back and forth near the pool as the others discuss tactics.
"I'm afraid I can't be much of a scout underwater. A summoned creature would be best if we need a scout, we shouldn't split up any further."
He continues tapping the hilt of his sword, "Let's get this over, the sooner we can get off this dreadful island, the better."

Sam relays Aexana's message to Coer. The gnome is obviously neutral in the matter of the prisoner. His focus is clearly aimed towards ending this nightmare.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 38 of 38) d10=3 ; d4=3 ; Monday June 23rd, 2014 4:32:59 PM
Before the Water Breathe is cast, Zeoll casts his second level Fey Friend spell. He calls a (rolling randomly) (1d10=3) Medium Elemental -- but what kind? In alpha order, air, earth, fire, or water, and (1d4=3) it is a FIRE elemental.
Zeoll sighs, tells it thanks but no thanks, and sends it on its way.
"The fey and fates arre fickle, my frriends." he says.
After the water breath is cast, he'll go first, shield ready to block any attack.

Dm Shawn - A climb and a swim Monday June 23rd, 2014 6:18:56 PM
More plans are hashed out at the entrance to the tunnels. Zeoll decides to call and ally but is dismayed to get a fire elemental.
After dismissing him, the water breathing spells are cast.
Ooc: Need an order and any checks.
At the cliffs, two things are tied to a tree. First the rope to help lower some party members down, and second Piotr.
Terser's arms flex as he begins to lower Sam to the rocky beach below. His arms burn as he lowers the man 10' with another 15' to go.
Coer realizes his size might be more work the Terser can handle and climbs down himself. He keeps thr same pace as the lowering Sam.
Monkey Aexana scampers down the entire cliff face in the time it took the others to climb 10'. Her little hands and feet find holds too small for her normal size hands. Once her little feet hit the rocky shore, the ocean explodes. An abominable conglomeration of multiple species explodes from the surf, sending saltwater spraying in all directions. Clacking claws, writhing legs, wriggling antennae--if the grotesque offspring of lobster and beetle learned to walk upright like a man, it might resemble what you see before you. Aexana was quick enough to not be caught off guard but the creature cares not as it rushes forward spitting a vile, fish smelling liquid from its mouth(10 dmg, Dc 22 Reflex save for half).
The creature does not relent as it rushes right into Aexana, tearing at her with its claws. Huge gashes erupt from her monkey body as the claws rip her open. (12 dmg and 10 dmg). As if more was needed, Aexana feels her body feel a little sluggish. (7 Non Lethal damage)
At the same time, everyone gets a little tingle in their nose, no smell but something is definitely inhaled.
Dc 18 will save for everyone, failure results in -4 to Wis

Sam assess the situation and determines that speed will be necessary to save the lone Aexana. Sam face wrinkles in anticipation as he yells to Terser.
"Let go of or cut the rope Terser! Aexanna's in trouble! I need to get to her quickly! Let me fall!"
Assuming Terser let's him fall the rest of the way, Sam attempts a tumbling roll to soften his landing. (acrobatics=26)

Coer watches as the horrific beast emerges and rips at monkey-aex. His need to help his friend washes away any hint of fear that the tentacles may have given him and he jumps to the beach.
As his feet hit the sand his fist jabs at the beast, electricity crackling, as he tries to land a stunning fist.

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 38 of 38) d20+17=22 ; Tuesday June 24th, 2014 10:39:10 AM
Zeoll leads the way, holding his tower shield in front of him as total cover. Since the tunnel is ten ft wide, and since Zeoll can cover a 10-foot wide space in front of him with his shield. it should prove a formidable barrier. But a slow one. Zeoll can only make a single move per round while proceeding like this. And he is surely walking on the bottom of the tunnel, not trying to swim. That would be a sad sight. As it is, the liontaur twitches his tail in dismay as the water drains his body heat and fills his lungs.

Perhaps it is Sam's request, or perhaps it is the sudden lack of common sense that Terser seems to have, but he complies and let's Sam drop the rest of the way to the ground (free action to drop). Following up this brilliant maneuver, Terser draws his glaive and leaps off the cliff to meet the creature that is currently ravaging his monkey friend. (move action, failed acrobatics, fall damage 3 nonlethal, 2 lethal).
His aim is not much thrown off though, and he sends his glaive in a mighty arc at the lobster/beetle thing after landing 10 feet away. (standard action, hit AC20 for 11 damage)

Aex realizes she is in dire shape... blood drips from her vibrant green dress... she didn't even see this coming!! The druid stumbles backwards against the rock behind her and she understands there's no where she can run to... the terrible wounds she got make it virtually impossible to concentrate on spellcasting as her mind is in survival mods...
"HELP" she mentally cries out but words fail to find their way...
Aex-Monkey can climb the cliffs just as easy as she would walk. As she's not a first line fighter Aex decides she has to withdraw from the action and see if she can help the others deal with this sea swarm thing. So Aex withdraws by climbing up the cliff thus avoiding an AoO and getting out of reach from this thing...

In the tunnels, Zeoll leads the group into the water. His shield leading the way as he moves forward on the floor of the tube. Behind him Spire and Jozhur follow, close together. The old liontaur paws his way through the water until he comes to a split. A tube leading east and another west.
Back at the cliff, all hell has broken loose as the creature comes out of the sea. The group seeing their friend torn apart leap(litterally in some cases) to action.
1st Sam deftly drops down from the rope, his skill in acrobatics helping him do no real damage. (2 Non Lethal, at C4 on the map.)
As skillfull as Sam was, Magana is the exact opposite. When she misses the handhold, her body drps the last bit to the rocky beach below.(7dmg, and prone. At F5-6,G5-6 on the map)
Coer leaps down the remaining distance, but doesn't do to much damage to himself. (3 dmg +2 Non Lethal) He immediately swings at the creature but watches in dismay as his shot doesn't land.(At g3-4, h3-4)
Terser take it upon himself and leaps down with a huge attack. The creatures natural armor deflects the weapon and doesn't harm it. (At D4)
Aexana backs up to the wall and scampers up out of reach of the monster. The creature gives a look of annoyance but quickly turns to the huge minotaur that just plummeted by.
The creatures claws tear into the prone Magana twice. (10 dmg, +6 Non Lethal, 11 dmg +3 Non Lethal). Again another tingling sensation assaults the heroes. (Another will save Dc18 failure results in attacking the nearest creature as per the confusion spell.)

Though badly hurt, Aex-Monkey is able to keep her mind together... from her elevated position she casts a spell and upon completion she sends down a lightning bolt at the swarm! (12 HP - Reflex DC18 for half - SR 21 if applies). Aex does climb a bit higher as she does not want to get caught in one of those water sprays again...

At the split, Jozhur tries to determine which path is more likely to lead to the caver he group is trying to get to or if one of the paths seems to lead to the other stone pool under the temple. If he thinks one way leads to their destination, he will point it out to Zeoll.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 38 of 38) d20+17=24 ; d20+8=9 ; Wednesday June 25th, 2014 10:43:03 AM
Zeoll sniffs, wondering if his scent will work under water. He looks for any signs of passage. Maybe his tracking skill will help give a clue.
He thanks Jozhur with a nod and adds his own expertise to the exercise.
Perception: 24 Survival/Tracking (with scent?): 9
If there are no other clues, he'll go right.
Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 13/13/11 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24 Wednesday June 25th, 2014 11:35:26 AM
Spire follows closely behind Zeoll, the amulet around his neck allowing him to see perfectly underwater. The elf finds it rather disconcerting that there was no effort required to breathe underwater, but continues along nonetheless.
OOC :: I haven't missed two days of posting in a while... sorry everyone. I'm back home visiting family, the Wold slipped my mind.
OOC: The beachhead is tight, and not really made for 2 minotaurs... that being said... a 10' radius Glitterdust spell centered on the creature will effect everyone... centered on Sam and it will effect the creature and Terser.... Im gonna post in a bit, but giving you the option to center it how you want or change the gameplan.
I only bring this up, because this is a tough fight, and if the creature makes his save and some party members don't.... I can be a cruel DM, but even I have my limits.

In the tunnels, the trio stop at the fork to decide their path. No smells are evident, and the water messes with Jozhur's perception of the dungeoneering. Finally Zeoll takes the right path, and follows it around for it a bit before it opens at the bottom of a pool. The surface of the water is about 20' above.
At the cliffs, Coer yells to the creature, and swings again in a flurry of blows. The shots that do hit are brushed aside with no damage. The horn swipe is easiley sidestepped by the creature.
Terser, swings his weapon again, with more force then before. This time the blade bites down into the beasts shoulder. It obviously damages the monster, but doesn't slow it down.
Magana loses her senses for a moment, and turns on Coerator and swings into him...(Coer takes 11 dmg)
Sam thinks a spell might work, but changes his mind instead inspiring his friends on.
Aexana scampers up high enough, and rains down with a lightning bolt at the creature. The monster, moves fast for its size, and takes a glancing blow.
The creature roars in anger and tears into Magana again, both claws ripping chunks out of the Minotaurs' skin.... (11 dmg +2 Non Lethal, 8 Dmg+ 3 Non Lethal).
Again the tingling sensation in the nose comes to bear (Will Save Dc 18... or Fear as Per the spell)

(Will save 19 - OK - not sure Aex needed to roll this also)
From her elevated position Aex again calls down Lightning as a free action. (18 HP - Reflex DC18 for half - SR 24 if applies) (just checking, the Lightning spells causes additional damage outdoors in the rain or thunderstorm... this water swarm sprays around a lot of water... does this increase damage of the Lightning spell also? If yes, that I needed to roll 3d10 instead
She also calls upon the Weather domain to grant her the power of storms! Hits Ranged Touch AC28 - 6 damage (no saves) In addition, the target is buffeted by winds and rain, causing it to take a --2 penalty on attack rolls for 1 round.
DM: Roll 3d10... why the +10 to damage?

ooc to DM: the other 7 points of damage was from the fall
(will save 13 fails)
Magana freezes for moment in horror, realizing she just hit Coer instead of the seaborn monstrosity. How could I make that kind of mistake? The pain in her comrade's face is something she just cannot cope with.
She drops her weapon. The thought that she might accidentally hit another friend with it is more than she can bear and she flees the fight, afraid of her own incompetence.

Seeing the opening above, Jozhur swims ahead and draws his sword, heading towards the surface. He tries to break the surface quietly and has a look around. If it's clear, he will try to climb out of the water.
Coerator (Mark) AC17/16/14 -- CMD 22 -- HP 68/68 (Ki 3/5) d20+11=14 ; Thursday June 26th, 2014 6:58:59 AM
Focused on the monster, Coer is blindsided by Magana's Flail.
He reels for a moment as his nose tingles. He then looks around for the unseen assailant. They could be anywhere! he thinks as he begins to panic.
He pivots and runs as far as he can along the cliff face.
~~~ ooc: i assume we are all rolling will saves each turn. If not Coer will surely attack
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Thursday June 26th, 2014 8:27:53 AM
Sam contunes his inspiriring humming. (Inspire courage +2 continued)
As he can do little else in his current location, he holds and prepares to dodge attacks as needed.
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 55/60 temp -4WIS (raging 67/72)] d20+9=20 ; d20+15=31 ; d20+10=22 ; d10+13=18 ; d10+13=23 ; Thursday June 26th, 2014 11:34:06 AM Will Save 20 - pass
After the first wave of mental energy, Terser has been too caught up in the battle to be affected by the others. So, he is not sure why the formerly fearless minotaur is suddenly fleeing the fray. Still, there are others to worry about, and a surprisingly tough and clearly aggressive creature yet to slay.
forgot to count flanking - hit AC 31 and 24 for 18 and 23

Spire remains at the bottom of the tunnel, watching Jozhur with a mixture of fear and curiosity. (Perception: 11)

Jozhur exits the water tunnel at the bottom of the pool. His keen eyes spot a writhing mass of tentacles, far too numerous to belong to any natural creature of a sane and rational world, looms into view, but it appears as if his stealth has prevented him from being seen. Jozhur is at the blue circile and the tentacles are at the T. Bottom of the Pool
Aexana calls down the lightning and it plows into the creature.(Reroll 3d10). Her druidic ability brings even more into play and it buffets the creature.
The two minotaurs know fear, and turn and run. As Magana flees the creature tears at her one last time. (AOO, 12 damage, 3 non lethal). Magana stumbles and falls to the ground. (76 dmg total, 17 of which is non lethal so just Ko's you.)
If the creature could smile, it would be now as it turns to face Terser. Terser fires back with a double swing. The first swing bites into the creature, and the second sales over its head. The creature swings back twice at Terser. The first claw rakes into him. (11 dmg +5 Non Lethal). The second claw is stopped by his armor.
Sam helps his allies, and continues to sing.

Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 42/42 Thursday June 26th, 2014 3:35:37 PM
Seeing an opening for targeting the creature without hitting allies, Sam quickly casts "glitterdust" centered directly on the creature. (reflex DC=18 or become blinded)
He then steps back to the corner of the beach to give Terser room to fight. While doing so he continues his inspirational song. (inspire courage +2 to hit/damage and vs FEAR/charm continued)
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 38 of 38) Thursday June 26th, 2014 3:43:09 PM

Just before he leaves the water, he turns briefly invisible with his Fey Domain vanishing trick.

(Reroll damage of last turn AND the first turn which would be 24 and 19 instead of 18 and 12) (Absolutely no idea why I rolled a +10 t the damage last turn... it was a nice try though ;-) )
With only a few Cure Light wounds on her Aex realizes she can not heal her friends quick enough vs this monstrosity... all she can do is try and stop it.

Come back, ye cowardly taurs! Terser attempts to inspire them, because this thing may prove too much for him alone. At least the lightning seems to be steadily pounding it, and Sam's input has just become obvious. He He steps back to get in range and has at it, though he only manages to fend it off and not do any damage.

Jozhur looks over the tentacled mass before him. Is it rooted to the floor of the pool, and if so would it be possible to swim by it out of reach?
If he doesn't think he can avoid its reach, the rogue looks to take advantage of catching the thing off guard. He swims towards the monstrosity and thrusts his sword into what he guesses to be a vulnerable spot.

Cowardly taur? Terser's unusual insult stops Coer. He stops in his tracks and shakes his head trying to clear the forced panic.

Jozhur sneaks up, and isn't noticed by the tendrils. His weapon cuts through the water, and then cuts into the tendril just as easy.(12 damage). The creature reacts by lashing out with its tendrils, but misses due to the damage it received.
Zeoll turns invisible under the water, disappearing completely.
Spire follows up just shy of the surface. In doing so, he notices the second tendril creature moving towards the group.
Back at the cliffs, the war continues.
Coer uses the anger from being called a coward and gets the fear out of his system. He turns to get back into the fight. (Yes your still shaken.)
Magana lies on the rocky beach hoping this is not her last thought.
Aexana calls down the lightning again. This time it connects fully on the beast. Doing some damage. The Second spell seems to miss the creature completely.
Sam's Glitterdust also seems to miss, but his continued cheering helps his friends.
Terser misses, but he gets another attack(AOO) as the creature steps forward again. Intelligence can be seen in its eyes, and its tactics as it turns to look at Aexana. It opens its mouth and spits forward the stink again. (12 DMG, Ref 22 for half).
Not satisfied, he claws into Terser twice more, rending flesh from the mans body. (13 Dmg +6 Non Lethal, 11 Dmg +5 Non Lethal)

(@DM Shawn: does this thing realy have a Touch AC greater than 25?!? Since my last Storm Burst spell failed... or is there some other reason I don't see why it didn't work... )
This creature is just too strong!! Why in the Wold did they split up in the first place!! With an ultimate efforts Aexana manages to avoid most of the stinking stuff this swarm is spitting in her direction. But still she get's hurt... (Aex is down to 11 but too some Non-lethal before so she's at 4!)
"Time to fly and get some distance from this thing!!!" Aex thinks and transforms to an Air Elemental... (standard action not provoking AoO) Immediately she flies 60ft from her position straight upward - this will hopefully get her out of spitting range... (move action)
From her elevated position she once agian calls a lightning bolt (free action - range 160ft) doing a meager 12 HP damage - Reflex save DC18 for half)
One more hit and Aex is going to plummet down to the Wold...

Ooc: Couple things. Aexana, my mistake. I didnt r re alize it was a touch attack, so your damage from last round is added in.
Also Terser has enough room on the beach to manuever.
Sam helps his friend out the best way he sees, calling on the healing magic and mending his wounds.
Coer and Terser miss the creature on multiple swings.
Magana inhales sand.
Aexana turns into an air elemental and flies up out of range. She rains down with more lightning, and gets a glancing blow on the creature.
The creatures claws dig into Terser twice. (9 dmg + 2 NL, 9 Dmg + 4 NL)
The creature looks perturbed that it cannot get to Aexana, so it spits the foul, fish smelling, cold liquid forth again. This time at Terser and Sam. (8 dmg ref dc 22 for half)
Back in the cave, Spire helps his friends out with a blessing.
Jozhur makes good use of the spell and his talents. His feint works and the tendril creature recieves a nasty gash for its troubles. The first tendril creature turns the close vicinty black as it secretes and ink. The water is impenetrable for vision. The second tendril creature reached Jozhur and lashes out but comes up short.

Zeoll's plan was to become invisible vis Hide Away (lasts one round) (move action) and then move out of the water and up into whatever space there is (move action) ... maybe moving to be in a flanking position?
But plans seldom fall right, and now where is he and what can he do?
If he is still in the water, he goes back to plan A: Move action to become invisible and then move action to emerge from the water and move to flank.
If he is out of the water, then he uses his Hide Away and then his Laughing Touch. The Laughing Touch is a spell like ability that provokes AoOs to use, but Zeoll is hoping that being invisible will prevent the enemy from taking that AoO because usually being invisible (having total concealment) means that you are immune to AoOs.
Laughing Touch ability requires a touch attack: Zeoll rolls to hit a touch ac2 and is therefore a miss. The attack immediately ends Zeoll's invisibility, but since he missed, he can hold the charge and try again next round.

Ooc- Inspire courage +2 continued this round. Will post tonight.
Things are starting to go black around the edges, but there is little for him to do other than hope to take down the creature before it gets him. He at least manages to wing it when it charges for him, but other than that, his blows continue to be ineffective.

OOC Cayzle to Kindly DM Shawn ... sorry for the confusion. My own confusion, that is! Basically I just want to approach and try my laughing touch, using the Hide Away one-round invisibility power to avoid AoOs provoked by moving and by using a supernatural ability. Howsoever much time this takes -- one round or two ... or three? -- and then trying again to land that touch attack. Since Zeoll has the water breathing, he does not care if he is above water or below. If there is time to get a second try in this round, here's another touch attack roll ... a nat 2, oh well! :-)

Spire bows his head and closes his eyes, feeling a familiar magic run through him in an unfamiliar way... until he realizes that this is likely because of the fact that he is currently breathing and speaking into water. His movements are a bit sluggish, but they seem to be getting the job done. (Beginning to cast Summon Monster III - Summoning a celestial electric eel.)

Coer thinks back to his training, after all it wasn't all punches and kicks. Focusing his ki energy he shifts his stance and swiftly sweeps his leg at the beast, trying to take it off its feet and allow them all to kick it while down.
He follows this up with several quick chops to what he thinks is its head. Hopefully this will make the difference he thinks to himself

Aexana calls down the thunder, Coer slams his fist into the creature twice, and Terser tears into it with his weapon. The creature looks stunned, it wasn't supposed to go this way. It's claws wear supposed to be cracking skulls right now for the food inside. Instead, more brackish, foul liquid drools out of the side of it's mouth as it's black eyes stare at you. You can almost pinpoint the moment when the life leaves it's body.
Back in the Cave, Zeoll stays in the water and is invisible but he seems to have a problem touching the second tentacle monster. He continues to miss.
The first creature begins to run, but Jozhur's sword finds its soft tissue and pieces the flesh. The tentacles froth up the water as the creature dies.
Spire casts his Summon Monster Spell, and with a bit of luck gets a creature fond of the water. The electric eel arrives ready to do as requested.
The second Tentacle creature lashes out, wrapping it's tentacle around Jozhur's waist. (Free action to start grappling with Jozhur 23 vs CMD of 20, success). Jozhur is pulled in, and the creature bites down through his armor. (3 DMG).

Sam examines the minor damage taken from the creature. He looks at the well-beaten Terser and smiles.
"Nice work brother. You just about took that thing on alone."
He then addresses the rest of the group,"I'm running out of healing energy. Is there any chance someone could give Terser some help before we move on? We can't forget about the coin signal once we are in position."
With that said, he wonders how the other three are doing. He hopes their stealthier approach has brought them a smooth journey.

once she has instructed the water elemental Aex flies down towards the unconscious Magana and immediately casts a Cure Light Wounds healing Magana for 12 HP's...

Aexana uses her last spell to further heal their battle tanks... she'll just make sure to stay out of trouble once they go deeper into the cave. With no healing potions on her and no more healing spells this is going to be a tricky endeavour...
Healing Magana for another 12 HP...
Before they go foreward deeper into the cave Aexana will cast (or prepare) a couple of spells on her friends...
Magana the Barbarian will get Barkskin cast on her... it will raise her AC by 3 for 60 minutes
On Coerator the Monk she will cast Owl's Wisdom. It should increase his senses and make him harder to hit in the same time. (it will last only 6 minutes, so Aexana will cast this at the very last moment before entering whatever cave they will be exploring). She will remain close to Coer and the moment danger is spotted she'll cast the spell...
Aex keeps her Cat's Grace spell available to help any combatant dodge more blows...

Sam silently observes the group and their actions as they prepare to enter the cave. Aexana's spells peak his interest.
He thinks to himself,"She seems to have little interest in helping Terser. He did a bulk of the work, per usual. I guess we just met and are possibly caught in subtle habits."
His attention turns to Terser. He nods at the dwarf and thinks,"Maybe she's just scared of him. He is kind of intimidating... Oh well. I guess I'll have to help him along.
Sam addresses Terser,"I know it's not your style, but take it easy when we get in there. I can't heal you, but I can turn you invisible here and there. Just be sure you and I don't end up owing Gargul at the end of this."
The bard is hesitantly ready to enter the cave. He stays at Terser's side who is most likely 2nd in line or taking up the rear-gaurd.

Between Jozhur's blade, Spire's spell and Zeoll's touch the tendril creature had enough. Spire knows the creature is an outsider, an evil creature with aquatic roots.(Obviously).
The tendrils loosen as the creature dies, floating up to the surface with the other dead one.
Back outside, Coer leads the group into the cave and is immediately hit with the stench of low tide. Inside the cave is pitch black, no light or darkvision means you are blind. Water rises anywhere between 6 inches and 2 feet, sometimes getting inside your boots. The bottom of the cave is sandy, and constantly under water.

Aex benefits from her Elemental shape and has Darkvision 60ft... since she also flies, she won't splatter either. But there's one painful detail... a single hit will get her unconscious. So scouting ahead wasn't exactly what she had in mind but she's willing to do whatever is needed.
Aex wonders what Sam's thinking about her spellcasting... however she fails ti understand why (sense motive 10)
If Aex is appointed the scout, she casts the Cat's Grace spell on herself. Increasing her Dex by 4 for 6 minutes. This will improve her stealth skills and will also make her harder to hit...
What must be done must be done... Aex moves deeper into the cave. She flies close to the ceiling, making sure she does not touch it. The elemental flight is perfect and with hardly any noise - perhaps a little breeze can be felt. She just hopes she will spot anything dangerous well up front...

Magana, Coer, Terser, Sam and Aexana move into the cave. Once the light spells are cast,the inside becomes more visible. To the groups left about 15' into the cave is a thin tunnel while in front of the group the cavern widens a bit, the far end of the room out of the distance of the light spells. Everyone is on guard as a form comes throught he water, but are quickly relieved to see it is Aexans's water elemental. A bubbly sound comes forth, and those who speak aquan understand Highlight to display spoiler: { "Three creatures in the water, two like you and one a half breed. Something also was on the top of the room.}
In the flooded room, after killing the tendril creatures and breaking the surface it require a bit of steep climbing to get out of the deep water area and onto the sandy shelf to the south without falling back into the water you're trying to exit. The light spells light up the deep water room. A terrible, high-pitched cackling rises from the depths, all but drowning out the crashing tide. Slithering and flopping across the cavern's ceiling 15' above you appears a repulsive mass of bulging flesh, wide and red-veined eyes, and gaping mouths.
As if the look of creature wasn't enough a wad of spittle comes forth from its mouth, missing Zeoll.

He sheathes his sword and gets asuch distance from the monster as he can. He tries to space himself from the others slightly, if possible. As he moves, he drops his torch in a dry spot (if possible) and draws his longbow.

Dm Shawn - A Swim and a fight d20+4=10 ; Monday July 7th, 2014 12:26:13 PM
Zeoll's spell seems not to effect the creature. More pressing is the fact this creature is unknown to him. (Doesn't fit under any of those catagories). Luckily for him the creature is having a hard time getting the old Liontaur in his sights, as his spittle misses again.
Spire's Acid Arrow strikes true, slamming into the creature.
Jozhur sets his torch down while pondering what this is. He moves to separate himself by enough room to draw his bow.
In the entry cave, the group stands not knowing what the elemental just said to them. Coer decides if the creature was unscathed it should be the good way to go. Moving deeper in, the cavernous chamber has blackened walls, suggesting in the dim light that it goes on forever. What at first appears to be some great beast rearing from the darkness, a serpent of sharp angles and hideous spines, swiftly reveals itself to be a large idol standing near the far side of the cave. (The water in this area is about ankle-deep on a human...) At this point, a commotion can be heard echoing off the walls of the cave, as if something is happening deeper in the cave system.

Zeoll hides behind his massive shield doing a good job at protecting himself.
Jozhur's arrow is true, and strikes the creature in it's massive, bulging, body.
Spire shouts to Zeoll to get back before letting loose with another Acid Arrow. Perhaps it is the miniscule amount of time it took him to yell, but his second arrow doesn't land.
The creature cannot see Zeoll enough behind the shield, so it spits a wad of spittle at Spire catching him in the face. (1 DMG, DC18 Fort Save or Blinded for 3 Rounds.)
In the cavern with the statue...
Sam inspires his friends and party members while hustling forward.
Aexana calls forward and luckily gets another elemental, this time of the air variety. Hopefully she can understand this one.
Coer, Magana, and Terser charge forward through the water which gets as deep as the knees. The group passes the evil looking statue, and can see the cavern turning in a northern direction a bit.
Note: In the cavern with the water, it is treated as difficult terrain and therefore costs 1/2 movement.

Still in Air Elemental shape herself Aexana is flanked by another 3 small Air Elementals as soon as her spell is finished. (mind you, with the Augment Summonning each Elemental has a +4 CON and +4STR) Being an elemental now she can freely communicate with her summoned siblings.
"Let's go! Fly forward, find our friends and attack whatever it is that is threatening them!!"
Upon request, the 3 Air Elementals fly forward at top speed (60ft). Air Elementals have excellent flying skills and are adept in Flyby attacks so the plan is to stop ±30 ft from whatever is out there in order to perform a fly by attack next round. The elementals will spread around the creature so who ever attacks it will benefit from flanking bonus.
Aexana herself is still in bad shape and in no position to take an active part in close combat... with some luck, she can once again stay out of reach from the creature....
Aex casts Produce Flame... in her Air Elemental hands a Flame appears. Then she moves forward with the rest of the group. Should an enemy show up within 120ft she will hurl the flame at it! (hits TOUCH AC 12 - probably nothing but just in case damage would be 8)

Zeoll casts True Strike while pulling out an alchemical bag. The plan is obvious.
Spire luckily is unaffected by the blindness from the spittle, he returns with a Glitterdust spell. It is obvious the spell worked as the creatures many heads look about in every direction.
Jozhur fires his bow, but misses to the side.
Probably due to the blindess, the creatures spittle misses Spire.
Magana and Coer run full speed, their bigger size making it easier to move through the water, After the bend the come to a little beach, but more importantly they come across their friends fighting a gross, bulging ball of flesh and heads.
Aexana flies forward, sending her Air Elementals ahead to stop away from the creature. She gets close enough to cast her spell, but the flame misses the creature.
Terser takes the methodical approach, and moves forward through the flooded cavern.
Sam continues forward as well, humming his inspire courage tune.

As a group combined, with attacks from every which way, they tear into the creature. Attacks from magic, bow, even elementals. The creature doesn't have a chance to drop from the ceiling elegantly. Instead the dead, bloated body falls to the water below with a sickening thud as the waters consumes the body.
Sam, moves back into the statue corridor, and gets an upclose look at the statue. It doesn't move, doesn't attack or do anything other then act as a normal statue. It does however unsettle Sam, as it just looks like it is evil. The way the dancing lights flicker off the creature, makes it appear to move but it never really does.

The next flame already is in Aex's hand and it illuminates the cavern as well. She directs the three Air Elementals (they have about 4 rounds left in this plane) to fly towards the ugly statue and do some fly by's as well without actually attacking... just mere provoking...

Jozhur closely examines the thing they just killed. What is this disturbing thing. If he sees anything unusual, he will pass it along to the more knowledgeable members of the crew.
"I want off this island too, Zeoll. Hopefully we're done here."
When he's through with the creature, he also closely examines the statue and looks for any hidden switches or devices. --------------- Perception: 22, 18 Disable device: 27
Dm Shawn - A Swim and a fight d20=2 ; Monday July 14th, 2014 12:55:04 PM
Spire lets his voice be heard when he lets everyone know how he wants off the island.
Zeoll cannot figure out what kind of creature the idol represents. He encounters no footprints, and his scroll is provides the presence of evil, but not exactly on the statue.
Terser recalls the group passing a side tunnel on their way in, and also remembers the flooded room the other group came in continued north bending out of sight.
Aexana has her elementals work to the last minute as she sends them back and forth past the statue. At no time does it react.
Sam searches for hidden passages but doesn't come up with any.
Coer, like Spire, is out of patience.
Jozhur looks for switches while trying to identify the creature. He cannot figure out what it is, and doesn't find any switches.

By now here Air Elementals are no longer here. She still has the flame in her hand but the minute she would hold her hand under water it will extinguish.
"Just for starters... why don't you big ones tie a rope around that ugly statue and tear it down? Who knows... we might provoke something or someone..." Aexana chuckles.
But besides that... the little Gnome Druid is clueless how to proceed or where to go...

Coer and Jozhur do as the others asked and between them the statue topples. Waves slap at the sides of the cave when the heavy rock lands in the water. After a few moments, the waves stop, the echo stops, nothing moves in the cave. With threeoptions of where to go.( Your Dm is a putz and misread the map, by the little dry spot where you fought the ceiling creature there is a ramp heading up to another opening.)
Coer doesn't want to leave any openings behind him and heads back to the first opening. Inside the walls, the floor, and the ceiling of this cave are coated in a reflective sheen, as though some great slug had left a trail across them. Even stranger is the stone itself. While every other surface in these caverns appears to be water-carved stone, these surfaces boast strange patterns, unusually marred features, and even twisted curves and protrusions. It less resembles stone, and more a hollow in a large lump of clay, formed into random patterns by a child's fingers. Coer can see the pattern continues all the way to where the ceiling creature was. The water here seems to go up to mid-shins on a human...

Aexana shivers at the disturbing sight of the cavern ahead... what foul creature lives here!?! In Air Elemental shape she's happy she doesn not have to touch the water nor the walls...
Slowly Aex-Air follows with the group... she makes no noise at all as she goes but her friends do make an awful lot of it as they wade through the water. Whatever awaits them at the end of this tunnel if it didn't hear that statue crashing down it now certainly knows they are coming.

Studying the worn, shiny ceiling in the little offshoot cave, you can come to the conclusion that the creature your killed above the flooded room lived in this room. Moving along the ceiling it obviously worn down the ceiling.
At the back of this little cave is another opening leading to another chamber....
You have three options before you.... the opening in this small cave, the ramp up to a larger cave opening, or the flooded room that Spire,Zeoll and Jozhur came up in continued in a northern direction.

Zeoll looks around and sees that most of his friends are injured! He uses the opportunity to use three of his channels for the day. He offers 15 hp of curing to EVERYBODY!
He also refreshes his cantrips and checks on his spells (see sanity info below).
Then Zeoll wants to see what's up that ramp and around that corner. He invites any interested people to follow him. He keeps his tower shield up and ready for total cover. That should keep him safe from physical attacks. He hopes.

Dm Shawn - A Swim and a fight Thursday July 17th, 2014 1:56:31 PM
Ooc: Jozhur is the only one were waiting for a direction, but he can indicate in his post.
In the small chamber Coerator, Magana, Terser and Sam make their way to back end of the cave. Zeoll, Spire and Aexana move up the ramp hidden behind Zeoll's shield.
This asymmetrical cavern overlooks another, much larger chamber below. In that distant chamber, you can see a sequence of monstrous idols, a great basalt altar much like that beneath the church, and a shallow lagoon, roughly 2 feet deep, that runs beneath the distant wall. A moderate slope leads down from your level to the grotto below. From here, you can see an older woman, clad in black robes, moving around behind the altar.
The ramp group is on the east end entrance of the map. The Other group is on the south end.
I need a Wil power checks from Zeoll, Aexana and Spire and Jozhur if he takes that path.

The woman looks to Zeoll and waves her hand, not menacingly, but more of a brush off movement. She doesn't say anything as she starts moving towards the lagoon heading behind one of the statues so not to take any arrows from Spire or Jozhur. Spire readies his bow, while Jozhur has an arrow knocked and ready to fly.
The group to the south can see the whole situation unfolding. They wait to see how it unfolds as well.
Zeoll, being the only one who moves forward, heads down to the slope. As soon as his foot lands on the grade change it passes through the edge, and he tumbles forward disappearing into the illusionary ramp. Zeoll falls about 10 feet, to the rocky ground below.(3 DMG)

This chamber of horrors becomes much clearer as you progress inward. The two smaller idols are statues of the fish-men you've encountered, and their dark stone forms drip with a thin sheen of oily water. The three larger images are great serpents, emerging from the earth or the water, and foul ichor oozes from their needlelike teeth. The basalt idol upon the altar here (slightly larger than that beneath the church) boasts a rising serpent as well, turned toward the right instead of to the left. It has the elongated maw of the serpents depicted in the unholy symbols and the idol in the Cult's Secret Shrine, and it radiates intense cold. The entire chamber smells of rotting fish.
The woman ignores the calls to her and continues through the shallow water behind one of the statues. Aexan flies out over the water. (Are you flying behind the statue?)

Aexana moves so that she can indeed see behind the statues to get a visual on the old woman. She hovers close to the ceiling and won't wander too far from her friends. As the woman is wading through the water Aex worries that some of her spells that involve fire won't have much effect. (while she flies she does not come too close to either of the statues.)
So far, the druid doesn't make any aggressive moves yet...

Perhaps she can be guided back to speak with us. Sam's silver tongue may be more convincing than Zeoll's. With peace talks in danger of failing, Terser moves to cut off her retreat, getting behind her in the corridor if possible, and not doing anything threatening.

Spire thinks diplomacy is at an end, waiting with his bow for this woman to do something.
Zeoll casts calm emotions on the woman, it seems to have no effect on her as she still is huddled behind the statue.
Aexana hovers close to the ceiling, hovering over the woman. She avoids the statues easily. The woman looks up every once in a while, her face worn and sad. She quickly turns his face back, looking into her knees, her body sobbing up and down every couple of seconds.
Terser moves to cut her off, but the woman had a head start and makes it into the water. He stops short of entering himself. (Terser Will Save please)
Sam makes his way in, staying out of site to the woman.
Coer gets closer into the room himself, the captain always ready for battle.
Jozhur readies his bow, standing by his friend Spire. His arrow is pulled tight, ready for her to make an offensive threat,
Magana hops down herself ready to fight..... and that is when she hears it. Sweet, sweet girl.... do me a favor and kill the old fool.... kill them all. She doesn't remember moving, or swinging.

Magana growls in satisfaction at finally getting to hit something. That it is the old gasbag, Zeoll, is an added bonus! Realizing she is surrounded by enemies and must finish off this one quickly to reduce the odds, she draws upon her rage to make sure he can't escape.

Spire sighs under his breath, dropping the arrow and casting Protection From Evil. He holds the charged spell in his hand while running towards the enranged Barbarian, leaping down and attempting to touch the minotaur on the back. At first, he misses wildly, flying over the barbarian, but manages to grab one of the straps of her armor and swing back around, striking her in the back before landing. -------------------- Cast Protection From Evil, hold the charge Move to N11 Touch Attack on Magana: 8 Last Hero Point Reroll: 17

With the statue blocking her sight towards her friends Aex hears one of them roar and attack someone... As the woman looks up at her now and then Aexana gets pretty nervous but somehow she manages to maintain her wits (Will Save 25 - let's just hope that's sufficient).
Aex doesn't understand yet how it is that this woman manages to mind control so many creatures but it's obvious that she's preparing something in the water...
Time for a different approach... though Aex's health made her plan to stay somewhere in the rear guard she's suddenly and unwanted very close to the elderly woman... So Aex-Air creates a Whirlwind!! The Whirlwind is 5ft wide at the bottom and reach up from 10 to 20ft depending on the ceiling height in this cave... Once in Whirlwind shape Aex moves on top of the old woman to L3! (not provoking any AoO's while being a whirlwind) Reflex save DC14 or old lady takes 4Hp damage The old woman is now trapped in the Whirlwind and must succeed on a DC15+spell level concentration check to cast a spell and she takes --4 Dex and --2 on attack rolls.
Furthermore, the Whirlwind base touches the water and thus also creates a swirling cloud of water centered on the woman. The cloud obscures all vision, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. Creatures 5 feet away have concealment, while those farther away have total concealment. The old woman must succeed on a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) to cast a spell.
Aex knows she won't be able to hold this for long but hopefully long enough to have her friends take her down...

Magana's flail crashes into Zeoll's shield twice. Denting spots, where the ball hits. (Which edge are you protecting with your shield.)
Spire leaps forward to help his friend, but she cannot overcome the enslavement.
Coerator jumps forward, and trips his minotaur friend to protect the group.
Zeoll relies on his knowledge of spellcraft and arcana, but he cannot figure out what it is.
Sam continues to Inspire courage, and his friends need it.
Jozhur hides amongst the rocky walls, and keeps his bow pointed at the statues, ready incase one of them comes to life. (Need a Will Save Dc 18)

Aexana begins pulling the woman to the safety of shore. She hears the woman for help, but then he voice sounds blocked as if something is blocking her throat. When Aexana looks down, a crab is crawling from the woman's mouth before falling into the whirlwind. And just like that the woman disapears.

And then a nightmare of horrendous proportions rises from the rippling surface--a reflection of the ancient, primal evil of Billoopl himself!

"I'm already running out of magical energy. We had better work fast."

Wary of getting close to the tentacled horror, Coer moves to a 'safe' distance and draws a javelin. He throws it as hard as his tired and poisoned muscles can.

Sam's hold person does the job, and secures the raging Taur for this round.
Sam casts his next spell and forms a cloud of dust, that cascades down on the creature. If the spell took effect, Sam isn't aware. He also continues to inspire courage to his friends in a trying time.
Spire continues his detect magic, and besides the overwhelming illusion magic coming from the water, the altar radiates overwhelming illusion, necromancy, and transmutation.
Coer moves back, and heaves a javelin. The weapon stabs into the creatures side, and sticks.
Jozhur fires off three arrows. Two of them reach their mark and pierce into the side of the creature.
Terser slashes back at the tentacles, and manages to cut a deep gash in one.
Aexana crumbles to the ground, her form does not revert.
Zeoll holds back, pondering his next move. (You can still get your action in next round, just do both)
As Aexana crumbles, the creature sees the most dangerous target in front of it. Terser left a gash on the tentacle, and the creature actually looked wounded. All eight tentacles swing at the man. Four of them connect, 3 of the smaller, and one of the larger. (48 damage, and four DC 22 Fort saves).
Creature Damage: 27

Jozhur sends another arrow at the monster then begins moving towards it. He nimbly jumps off the ledge and rolls towards the thing.

He is severaly battered by the tentacles, though his natural resilience prevents the ill effects of the noxious tentacles.
Despite his disorientation, Terser fights back with a mighty blow before withdrawing enough to gulp down a potion to continue the fight. (hero point attack - nat 20, 29 to confirm, rolled the wrong damage dice (removed) for 30 damage) standard to withdraw 30 feet, draw potion while moving, drink as move action for 4)

Magana strains, but is still under Sam's hold person spell. Her body struggles, but at the end she is still stuck. (OOC: No other saves for the enslavement)
Spire shoots off another arrow, but watches as it misses.
Zeoll moves forward, and under the power of his True Strike throws an alchemist fire at the creature which erupts on its body. If the fire is affecting the creature, it shows now signs. But a gigantic aquatic demon bug isn't one to show emotion.
Jozhur leaps forward with his attack, stopping short of the water, and close enough to attack one of the tentacles on Terser. His beautiful leap does not help though, and his attack is off. (I stopped you at the waters edge.)
Coerator heaves another Javelin, dismayed that it misses.
Terser heaves with all his might with a deadly attack that would fell most men, but for some reason it doesn't seem to connect as much with this creature. The attack still leaves another huge gash in the tentacle. He has the self preservation to move away from the attacks. (Immune to criticals)
Aexana dreams of being off this devil island once and for all.
Sam questions aloud if anything is real going on.
With the obvious target of Terser slipping away the creature does its best to answer Sam. Four of the longer tentacles strike forward at the Bard. All four make contact crushing the bard(48 DMG, sorry).
The four shorter tentacles hit Jozhur, also crushing him, (47 DMG, sorry)
OOC: Yes it has reach. Creature Damage: 48
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC17 - HP 16 of 38) d6=2 ; d20+5=6 ; Tuesday July 29th, 2014 4:35:09 PM
Zeoll's fire keeps burning, for another 2 fire damage.
Zeoll's roll in case it has spell resistance is a 6! Let's hope it has no spell resistance! :-) The will save DC is 20.
If it works, Zeoll moves back 40 ft up the ramp onto dry ground. If he can lure it out of that strange water, maybe it will be weaker.

Jozhur nearly collapses when the tentacles lash out at him. With seemingly no other options, he drops his bow to the ground, draws his sword, and does everything he can to drive it into the creature.

Mahana's eyes bulge as she still is held. Nothing could bother a raging taur as much as being held.
Aexana is joined in dreamland by her friend Sam.
Zeoll's fire continues to burn. He tried to command the creature but his spell seems to have no effect. None of his knowledge is helping him figure out what this creature is.
Spire moves forced and casts Stabilize on Sam.
Coerator launches another Javelin, but again it comes up short.
Jozhur launches another attack slashing into the creature. As he attacks he notices something peculiar. It appears as if his skin is becoming translucent.
Terser launches two brutal attacks that cuts into the creature deeply. A loud bellow comes from the mouth of the creature. It rocks back and forth as blood turns the water red and drops back into the water and sinks under the surface.

In disbelief of the huge monster they just fought, and how hard it hit, Jozhur hobbles over to check on Sam and Aexana, hoping they're okay. When he realizes they seem to be only unconscious, he starts trying to figure out his own problem.

With the creature subsided, and healing given out, everything seems alright. Then Sam releases Magana, and the rage continues as she wants nothing more to kill her former friends.
As if more is needed it is then that everyone notices the beach is full of the sea spawn beasts. 8 of them in fact standing where your friends were previously standing. As if your friends disappeared and the sea spawns re appeared in their place.

Coer glances back at his friends... but they are not there? Instead stands a group of seaspawn.
More concerned about his friends whereabouts than the squishy fishmen, he calls out to his friends.

Terser looks down at his hands to make sure he hasn't been somehow replaced with a seaspawn like his friends seem to have been. Are the seaspawn of different sizes as well? potential will save 14
Regardless, Terser holds himself ready to attack any that may attack him. (readied action to attack + 2 AOOs - will go for nonlethal damage)
Magana (Craig) [HP 71+12(rage) of 71] Friday August 1st, 2014 12:57:57 PM
The words still echo in Magana's ears... Sweet, sweet girl.... do me a favor and kill the old fool.... kill them all.
(ooc: while raging, can't make any intelligence based checks, and her wisdom is currently still damaged, so...)
Magana's failure to defeat her opponents combined with the frustration at being held and the confusion at their sudden disappearance, results in a moment of indecision for the normally self-sure Minotaur.
She wastes this action looking around in confusion for Zeoll and Coer, trying to puzzle out where they went so she can complete their destruction.

He backs up slowly, readying his Tower Shield for full cover against the first attack made on him.
Dm Shawn - A Swim and a fight Friday August 1st, 2014 11:58:27 PM
Zeoll and Coerator see through the illusion and see their friends instead of the sea spawn again.
Meanwhile Terser's skin is getting clearer, and he actually sees the veins and skeletal system below. The air takes on an acrid taste.
By the alter, and closest to Zeoll, a woman emerges from a trap door below the alter. On her hands and knees she begins coughing up seawater. " Help me! " she says, " we are all poisoned. It's in the air of the cave.
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 1/42 Saturday August 2nd, 2014 9:20:05 AM
Although Sam can't see through the illusion, he still questions everything he sees.
"Anyone who can hear me. I think we need to destroy that altar. It might have something to do with all of this."
Sam continues his song. (Inspire courage +2)

Hearing Zeoll's voice puts Jozhur at ease a little, but he still can't figure out what is going on, so he picks his bow up and stows it away, keeping his sword ready.
He stares at his arm for a moment and feels his skin, as if to see if its still there. "Umm, something is wrong with me..."

Sam inspires courage, while examining the alter. He can tell it is used in some sort of transformation magic.
Zeoll sees through the illusion and warns everyone, all the while channeling more healing into the group.
Coerator rushes forward and levels a shot into the demon head on the alter, a clash of lightning and a huge scar runs across the face, but for now it still stands.
Aexana, easily sees through the illusion and sees no woman under the alter.
Jozhur hangs back, realizing something is really wrong. His hands feel his skin, and it is in fact still there. The air is beginning to take work to fill his lungs.
Terser and Sam catch their breath, before seeing Magana run forward at Zeoll and smash into his flank with the flail. (19 Damage)
As if on cue, the surface of the water explodes as the creature bursts forth again. Tentacles lashing every which way. Coerator damaged the idol, and the creature intends to get revenge. Three of the tentacles smash into the Minotaur Monk(33 Damage, 3 DC 22 Fort Saved). Three of the other tentacles miss Aexana, but one crashes into her sending her back into the darkness(12 Damage, 1 DC 22 Fort Save).

"Terser, take that creature down. Coer, your affecting the idol. We can turn the tide in a few more strikes!". (Inspire courage +2 continued)

Starting to gasp for air, Jozhur tries to help end the fight by lunging at one of the tentacles as it swings past him. He also tried to figure out what this thing is and what it's done to him.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC17 - HP 7 of 38) Tuesday August 5th, 2014 7:05:43 AM
Zeoll again uses his shield for total cover from Magana's blows. He sighs and readies his shield for whichever direction she uses to launch her next attack.

The tentacles slap Coerator about but he still stands ready to continue the fight. Might not survive another attack like that, v better make this count he thinks as he channels that last of his Ki energy and unleashes a power flurry against the altar.
His fists, hooves and horns pound the evil idol.

And again light fades before Aex's eyes... the air elemental falls on the ground for the second time! Aex knew she should not have gone into combat without proper healing... But anyhow, thanks to the positive energy that has been transmuted here in the cave she's not dead yet... again... just unconscious.

Coerator succeeds In destroying the idol, as the Demon head smashes to the ground. He notices his arms start to take on a translucent appearence.
Jozhur and Terser do their best to fell the best. On Terser's last swing, a huge gash rips open spilling gore onto the two of them.
From within the water, from beyond the cavern walls, seemingly from beyond the borders of reality itself, you hear it: a hideous shriek, much like the unearthly call you've heard so often since your arrival at Gullport, but somehow changed, somehow...even worse... It is a cry of rage, of fury unabated. Without pause, without breath, it continues, rises, until you can scarcely hear your own thoughts. On it goes, and on, for minutes on end, until you fear your very sanity must crumble beneath its weight...! And then, just like that-- It is gone.

Aexana cannot see it in her air elemental form, but she feels a tingling sensation on her skin.
Magana realizes what she did, and guilt sets in.
Coerator wonders why his skin is turning clear, right about the time the air begins to get thick in his lungs.
Spire takes a few to catch his breath.
Jozhur tries to help, but his healing isn't up to par.
Terser forces a Healing potion down Aexana's throat bringing her back.
Zeoll sends his Brownie out, and the brownie helps cleaning up all the gore and blood on the little beach.
Sam begins to look around, and finds a trap door under the alter.

Terser finally calms, seeing that Magana is no longer compelled to hurt the old 'taur. Seeing and hearing about Coer's plight though, he investigates to see if he can assess the condition. It's not an oft used skill, but if his visions were correct, he may have need of them in the future.

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC17 - HP 12 of 38) Friday August 8th, 2014 11:47:27 AM
"Is that it, then? We'rre done?"
Zeoll is sceptical. He urges the party to explore all the underwater areas -- as a group -- and to overturn any altars or unholy things left to find.
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 7/60 temp -4WIS Friday August 8th, 2014 4:22:38 PM
Terser assists with knocking over the rest of the statues and other unholy artifacts. It would make sense to make it as hard as possible for anyone to re-establish this cult. Perhaps they can even collapse the cavern somehow.

Magana removes a scroll from her pack and forces herself to approach Zeoll. "I apologize for striking you Zeoll," she says, morosely. "Hopefully you can use this?" She hands him a scroll of Cure Moderate Wounds. (level 2)

As usual, Sam shows little interest in the magical trinkets. He staggers back to Terser and nods at his brother. When the others are ready, he heads out of the cave with them.
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 7/60 temp -4WIS Saturday August 9th, 2014 5:50:18 PM A good battle is one you survive, eh, brother? Terser looks around to see if anyone else needs support on the way out. The only other plan is toppling the big statue towards the entrance.

Zeoll's educated but uninformed guess is that this thing is a curse of some kind, and that the party will need to get some Remove Curse scrolls. The question is, are the afflicted actually dying? The old Liontaur inspects his friends as best he can.
Know Nature 12 Know Planes 27 Know Arcana 25
He asks if anyone has any training in the healing arts?
Zeoll also takes a look at the unidentified loot, casting Detect Magic and Guidance before looking at each one:
A large pair of spectacles with smoked black lenses -- Spellcraft 13
A carved rosewood box containing a set of six Tear Shaped Gems -- Spellcraft 19, 17, 18, 16, 27, 19
Bracers -- Spellcraft 27
Magana (Craig) [HP 71+12(rage) of 71] Monday August 11th, 2014 6:21:01 PM
Magana takes Zeoll's cold silence as no less than what she deserves, and slowly makes her way out of the cave.
Gargul, give me a sign, she thinks. What would you have of me?
Dm Shawn - A Swim and a fight d12=11 ; d12=11 ; d12=2 ; Monday August 11th, 2014 6:34:17 PM
The remainder of the statues are toppled, and destroyed.
Zeoll can only deduce that it is some sort of sickness from the slime affecting the three members of his group. Aexana, Coerator and Jozhur's skin continues to become see through. The dryness of the air begins to cause pain and tightness. (Aexana 11 dmg, Coerator 11dmg, Terser 2 dmg). Aexana sees the darkness yet again and this time Terser joins her(unless your HP are not updated).
Zeoll only discerns what the gems are, noting one of them (and probably all of them) is an Ebyron's tear.
Now the group has a choice back... through the flooded tunnels through the temple or up the side of the cliff.

Spire runs forward towards Aexana, kneeling down and using what little power is left in him to heal the gnome. "That was the last of my power. All I can do now is... parlour tricks." He shoots off a bit of sparks with his finger to demonstrate.

Coer breathes in the dry salty air and immediately begins coughing.
He fishes around in his backpack and pulls out a small vial, which he drinks. "That takes the edge off but wont keep me going long. I can barely breathe. Magana... you might have to carry me, if you're strong enough." He grins at Magana but only for a moment, his face becomes a grimace as he struggles to get air into his lungs.

Following Jozhur's example, Terser dunks Aexana's head under water to see if that happens to help her breathing while they figure out what to do.

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC17 - HP 12 of 38) Tuesday August 12th, 2014 10:43:48 AM
Zeoll shares what he has discovered. And he adds, "Well, if the prroblem is brreathing drry airr, I can Crreate Waterr at will, so at least we are not tied to the sea."
Zeoll tests this out, dumping water on those affected.
If that lets us stray from water, Zeoll suggests double checking every nook and cranny, then heading back to town.
Mainly he is interested in finding out if there were ever any true noble races on this island ever, or any innocents. And what was the story with that old lady -- was she possessed like Magana.
Oh, and that reminds Zeoll.
"Magana," he says, "please do not be concerrned about yourr actions while you werre under compulsion. Yourr experrience is no strrangerr to me. I myself was once coerrced against my will to betrray my own parrty, to spy on them for agents of the God of Sickness." A look passes over the old liontaur's face, an ancient memory that is still painful years and years later.
"I could not help myself, just as you could not. I have come to forrgive myself, however, and I forrgive you. I hope you will do the same."
Zeoll reaches out a hand to Magana in friendship.
Magana (Craig) [HP 71+12(rage) of 71] Tuesday August 12th, 2014 2:14:33 PM
Magana turns back to Zeoll in relief and takes his hand gratefully. "Thank-you Zeoll. I aspire to be as understanding as you."
She puts herself at Coer's disposal, aiding him as needed. "The water seems to be helping Jozhur. Do you want to try it?"

"This ain't go..." Aex just manages to blurt out as she passes out again for the third time... She's been switching on and off like this for too long. She feels useless and nothing but a burden for the rest of the group...
Then a kind soul again finds some healing for her and her eyes open yet again...
"Oh mother nature such a headache... " she says with a rasping gurgle...
To make things worse she's suddenly picked up by her friends and held under water!!

Sam watches as the group does their best to overcome the affliction. He observes the condition and tries to understand its affect. (heal=15)
Sam thinks to himself,"If only I had studied afflictions more, I would be of more help. That's it. No more pursuits of social skill improvement. Any respectable member of the Sage Guild would purely focus on knowledge-based skills."
Dm Shawn - A Swim and a fight Tuesday August 12th, 2014 11:03:07 PM
The water moisten Aexana ' skin and does give some relief. Sam tries but doesn't know what sickness they are afflicted by.
A search of the cave reveals nothing more, and the group heads back to the inn. Those who take the cliff find their hostage still bound to tree, but his wrists are chewed out. His mouth area is covered in blood.
All through the town, no villagers are anywhere to be seen. Everyone who was at the inn, is waiting for the group in the doorway.
Phen tells the group that last, nigh-sanity-shattering keen scraped across their minds like rusty nails...however, a few of them DID manage to witness the townspeople walking like herky-jerky zombies towards the harbor. Judging from the expressions on the townies' faces, it was certainly NOT their idea to go marching into the water--they looked like they were literally trapped inside their own bodies as those bodies obeyed the will of something else. THE group notices Captain Creel is nowhere to be seen.
Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 13/13/11 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24 Wednesday August 13th, 2014 1:24:43 AM "If we are lucky, Creel wandered off with the rest of them and drowned himself. Good riddance." Spire glowers near the back of the group, sopping wet, exhausted, and miserable. "Let us get the gold and be off, by the Gods, I have had enough of this wretched place."
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 9/42 Wednesday August 13th, 2014 3:50:28 AM "Let's see if we can meet up with Creel in the harbor. Maybe some of the townspeople managed to not drown themselves also."

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC17 - HP 12 of 38) Wednesday August 13th, 2014 3:07:46 PM
Zeoll wants some closure. Are there any innocents left alive? That fellow who tried to chew his own hands off -- is he dead? The crews of the ships who came to shore, are they dead? Zeoll tries to make a tally of the casualties and any who survived.
OOC: Considering Kane, SteveK's old PC, intended to stay here as an NPC to tend to any remaining innocents, I think we have to figure out if there even ARE any!
Zeoll is also intent on exploring every nook and cranny to see that there are no evil signs, wards, altars, fescoes, tapestries, etc etc remaining. He is sure he can get some of his friends to pursue a purification agenda.
He is also worried that the advertisements for a trade fair -- the same ones that lured the Lionfish here -- may still bring others to this island.
Zeoll also wants to be able to get back here again. He tries to find someone who is a navigator, and he tries to pinpoint where in the Middle Seas this island is located.
Personally, he has no stake in where the crew goes next. He has never actually been to Bonetown, having joined the crew in Centaur Island, and travelling from there to here.
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 9/42 Wednesday August 13th, 2014 4:15:02 PM
As Zeoll looks to find a cartographer/navigator, Sam gets an indignant look on his face.
"I'm no navigator, but I am a knowledgable gnome, Zeoll. I did stay awake for parts of the trip here. Give me a day with a map and I'll be able to pinpoint this place. In fact, maybe I could be the ship's navigator if needed. Terser is great muscle."
Ooc to group: Sam will only be putting skill points in knowledge-based skills from here on out. Since we're venturing about, he'll pile points into geography to start.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC17 - HP 12 of 38) Wednesday August 13th, 2014 5:18:46 PM

Aex sighs... checking her skin condition and if not improved she tries to bathe herself in the soothing water for apparently her pain leaves when submerged.
"Friends I have decided to put some more effort in my Herbalism skills... for this, I will need to find a way to cast a special spell that will help me shape change into a tree for 24 hours... "

"I'm all for going back to Bonetown after we're through here. Maybe Brothers Engev and Lansel will know what is wrong with us."

But first.... Zeoll, I am with you. Lets purify this rock.
oh and someone collect that coin we were promised."
Coer is more grumpy than usual. I guess turning into jelly will do that.
Dm Shawn - A Swim and a fight Wednesday August 13th, 2014 10:21:47 PM
Phen quickly hands over the 2000gp, and tells you again Creed fled with his crew.
"In fact I think it wise we all do the same."
His crew, along with the other remaining crew gather up their belongings, bid their farewells and head down to the docks.
As if more of a warning is needed, the group feels the ground below their feet shake. Glasses and plates shatter to the gound as the walls shake. Was that an earthquake ? Is the question on everyone's mind. The second tremor reaffirms the thought.
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 9/42 d20+10=29 ; Thursday August 14th, 2014 2:23:20 AM
As the ground shakes, Sam directs his attention to the situation. He assesses this tremor to ones commonly experienced throughout the recorded history of the Wold and attempts to compare this to others in terms of magnitude and likely consequence. (knowledge:nature =29)
If this quake appears to be island crushing in effect, Sam will urgently inform the group of that fact and suggest rushing to the Lionfish.
Coerator (Mark) AC17/16/14 -- CMD 22 -- HP 18/68 (Ki 1/5) Thursday August 14th, 2014 2:44:31 AM "Damned island wants to purify itself... We should head to the harbor. Hopefully Kane' heads that way too."
Coer quickly looks behind the bar for a stiff drink to keep himself moist while on the way to the Lionfish.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC17 - HP 12 of 38) Thursday August 14th, 2014 7:55:23 AM

Aexana too hurries to get to the Lionfish. Even without these earthquakes she would have hurried to get out of here... this is just an extra nudge out of the door... She does like Jozhyr's idea to provide some barrels with water just in case this skin affliction isn't over yet... Aex requests to put a second barrel on board... Whenever she feels her skin tingle she'll crawl into the barrel.

Having wreaked all the destruction he was able on the evil entity lording over this island, Terser tags along with the others. Perhaps more can be done if they can discover more about the sea godling. Or maybe they'll get lucky and it would be done with forever. There's always a first time.
Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 13/13/11 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24 Thursday August 14th, 2014 7:26:31 PM
If there are any empty barrels on deck, Spire will use his Fate Amulet to summon 2 gallons of salt water in to one so that they can set off quicker. He informs Tula that they need to be leaving immediately and not to ask about the skin condition because it is a very, very long story.
Dm Shawn - A Swim and a fight Thursday August 14th, 2014 10:57:53 PM
The group heads to their ship, the crew in tow with them. As though it, too, were a tool of the Aquan Emperor of Evil--and perhaps it was--the storm abates even as you watch. The pounding of the rain dies into a fine mist, and the clouds shatter like glass, allowing streams of sunlight to pour between them. And that light illuminates a town truly, finally dead. No sign of life remains at all, no trace of any of the town's demon-enthralled citizens. Nothing except a hundred lines of footprints in the muddy beach, footprints that finally disappear into the tides of the wrathful, raging sea...
The ship is untied, and scuttles out to the bay area. Once rounding the cliffs and in the area of where they fought the tentacled monsters they see the ship of Captain Creel, The Potentate now smashed to pieces on the rocky shore. Suddenly large tentacles shoot up through the surface and wrap around the pieces of the ship, and some of the stray pirates, and drag it down to the dark, deep sea. Just like that, the ship is gone.
Making for the open sea, the group is brought to attention by a huge, thunderous crash, as more earthquakes ravage the town. Finally, one more powerful shrug of the earth's shoulders, and the entire town cracks away from the side of the mountain and crumbles into the ocean. Just like that Gullport is no more.

"The question beforre us now, my frriends, seems to be, 'Wherre next?' Does anyone have any ideas?"
"Let me offerr some choices." Drawing on his personal knowledge of the Wold and his training in geography, Zeoll uses his prestidigitation cantrip to sketch a diagram on the deck, a compass rose:
At the center, he puts Bonetown and Rum. East: North Aisildur, Farungia, Osto, then Windbourne Hills beyond. Southeast: South Aisildur, then Dirt City and New Elenna beyond. South: Centaur and Minotaur Islands. Southwest: Liontaur Island, then uncharted barbarian islands beyond. West, Northwest, North, and Northeast: Uncharted waters!

Spire stares at the wrecked ship for a few minutes, staring silently at the sea. "Good riddance," he mutters under his breath, turning from the wreckage of Creel's ship and stomping into the ship. There, he pulls out whatever maps he has in his possession, spreading them out underneath Zeoll's diagrams. "I would like to make port in Bonetown. We have a house there, and it is the closest thing I have counted to home in some time. We also have two friends there, Brothers Engev and Lansel, that we have no seen since before Centaur Isle. At the very least, it will give us a chance to collect ourselves and find something new with which we can occupy ourselves."

"Spire, I need your help. I can't abide the danger I am putting the party in by being susceptible to evil sorcery controlling my mind. Is there anything you can do to prevent this in the future?"

Sam overhears Magana's concern and chimes in,"I'm slowly learning the 'dispel magic' spell. Once I master it, I should be able to break you free of it instead of holding you."
Ooc- Sam will learn confusion and dispel magic at level 7.

Spire simply nods as Magana speaks to him and takes some time to respond. "I have... some spells that can help protect you. But my... agreement with Gargul restricts me from learning more complex magics just now. I believe that Sam can be a greater help to you in that respect."

Hoping that all this has just been a bad dream Aexana quietly stares over the vast sea in front of the Lionfish... not knowing yet where her next voyage will lead too, she thinks about her daughter who she left in charge of her little Herbs shop.
Dm Shawn - A Swim and a fight Friday August 15th, 2014 10:20:40 PM
A decision Is made, the sails are raised and full of wind as the Lionfish sails away from Gullport headed for bonetown . Those in the front of the ship are sprayed with the salty water as the ship makes good time. The three members with the skin condition quickly realize they need to wet their skin every ten minutes or else they experience excruciating pain.
Magana contemplates her mind being attacked again, and Sam Sam and Spire help her ease her mind. Aexana thinks of her daughter while the others try to help around the ship.
The trip was peaceful, and would stay that way.... right?......
DM RobC Saturday August 16th, 2014 1:30:33 AM OOC: Well done guys! This marks the end of the current module. The next module will kick off on Monday.
Please check your inboxes for an email Shawn and I have sent that covers off a few things
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 12/78 temp -4WIS d6=5 ; Saturday August 16th, 2014 2:48:36 AM Magana, I have found that meditation may help. With a focusing of your mind, you may be able to improve your resistance to enemy attacks. My meditations have also allowed me to find new powers with my connection to the spirits. could take Iron Will this level =)
Terser concentrates mightily for a few seconds, then a wave of healing energy washes over the crew. first channel ever! heal 5!
Magana (Craig) [HP 71+12(rage) of 71] d12=6 ; Saturday August 16th, 2014 6:00:00 PM
HP rolll for new lvl = 6
"Thank-you all," Magana replies. "Terser, I don't know how meditation will help, but I will try."
Magana (Craig) [HP 71+12(rage) of 71] Saturday August 16th, 2014 7:16:11 PM
Magana does, indeed, meditate for much of the return trip to Bonetown, and picks up a measure of self control as a result.
ooc: took Iron Will as Warren so helpfully suggested!
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 14 -- HP 9/48 Sunday August 17th, 2014 6:40:11 AM
Ooc- bard level 7 header change. Navigator Sam is ready for approval.
Coerator (Mark) AC17/16/14 -- CMD 22 -- HP 30/80 (Ki 5/5) Sunday August 17th, 2014 8:22:53 AM
Coer spends his time in quiet reflection, shifting from his quarters to the wheel when required. He watches as his crew and friends assess the future and how they may best survive in the harsh Middle Seas.
He is looking forward to seeing 'friendly' Bonetown again and a being restored to his former self.
~~~ Coer has leveled up to monk 7, nothing unusual to check really. I will need to run a check on my wealth I think, just to be safe

Aexana paces back and forth on the deck of the Lionfish. Her skin affliction forces her to bathe every 10 mins or so and it makes her wonder when this will be over or how to cure it. Perhaps there are potions or ointments that could help her!? She knows about the Greenmages that focus on the well being of plants... they would certainly be able to prepare something that would help her!
And so Aex's dream begins... she has all it takes to become a greenmage herself but it will require her to spend time in the shape of a tree. Then all the plants wisdom will flow through her roots inside her and she would of ever be entwined with the Wold. One can not get any closer than this... She wonders if this town called Bonetown (which she has never visited before) will harbor a Greenmage...
