As he sees the damage this thing can inflict, as he tries to call the tentacled horror to him, Zeoll tries to wrack his brain. What is this thing? What can it do? How can it be stopped?

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.

Zeoll takes out a vial of acid, steps a little closer and throws it at the monster. He hits Touch AC 14 for 3 hp acid damage. even on a miss it'll likely get splashed for 1.

Since everyone is tended for the moment, Terser stands at the water's edge and strikes at any tentacle the may be in reach, severing them if possible. Each one detached is one less to attack them if the monster manages to resurface.

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.
He examines his arm and holds it up for others to see, "I think something is wrong with my skin.
He also tries to remember if that thing was something he had heard of or read about before.

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.

(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.

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 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).

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.

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.

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.

Aex feels her lucky days are over...
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 12/49 d20=9 ; Wednesday August 6th, 2014 3:30:56 AM
Jozhur rushes over to check on Aexana? Is she still breathing? Do elemental a even breathe? Jozhur has no clue. (Heal: 9) "Somebody help the poor gnome!"
Realizing there is nothing he can do for Aex, Jozhur wipes the guts off himself and goes back to examining his own skin.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC17 - HP 7 of 38) d12=2 ; d20+20=38 ; Wednesday August 6th, 2014 9:11:19 AM
Zeoll completes his spell, maybe too late to help?!
Rolling a d12 to see who appears ... a 2 = a brownie appears for ten rounds.
"Please stay close and be alerrt," Zeoll asks the brownie. "And please use yourr magic to help clean up this mess," he adds, gesturing to the guts and such.
Zeoll readies his shield for use as total cover if he is attacked, then walks up to where the monster was, looking around. Perception 38.
Laughing Touch: used 2 of 7. Channel Energy 1d6: used 6 of 7. Fey domain: Hide Away: used 5 of 7. Spread the Word: used 1 of 1.

Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 2/60 temp -4WIS Wednesday August 6th, 2014 11:40:21 AM Bugged out first time
Seeing that the monster appears to be dealt with for good this time, Terser hurries to the unconscious druid, pulling the last potion from his pack as he goes. He pours it down her throat, hoping it doesn't come too late. 7 HP for Aexana
He holds the butt of his glaive ready in case Magana is still under the influence of the call, though his body is nearly exhausted from the efforts in the cave. coming down from rage

ooc DM: If the scream lasted for several minutes, the Hold would have ended during it. Should I have Magana attack, or was she incapacitated by the scream, or is the compulsion even still in effect?
DM: My apppolgies. I forgot to add it in there, but the compulsion and voice in Magana's head are gone.
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 4/42 d20+8=21 ; Wednesday August 6th, 2014 1:39:18 PM
Sam plops down to the ground, due to exhaustion. The gnome has taken his fair share of damage in the past, but his frail body never copes well with the injuries.
"We need to get out of here. This place will be flooded soon."
Sam stands back up and does a quick scan for treasures hidden within the cave. (Perception=21)

As the noise ends and the fallen are attended to, Coer examines the pool of water for any explanation. Maybe something of value will be there or perhaps a way to reverse the strange transformation that his arms are undergoing.
"Any thoughts on why I'm turning to jelly" he says out loud.

Magana (Craig) [HP 71+12(rage) of 71] Wednesday August 6th, 2014 7:53:55 PM
The end of the shrieking lasts only long enough for Magana's head to clear and realize what she has done. Again. She moans in anguish and drops to her knees, contemplating a change in her vocation.
Dm Shawn - A Swim and a fight Wednesday August 6th, 2014 8:34:58 PM
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.
OOC: A quick post tonight, but I would like to award everyone a Hero Point for this fight, and another one for actually defeating all the enmies in the tunnels. Splitting up the group almost ended you guys, as you were only suposed to fight one or the other, not both!.... Terser gets another one for standing over Sam with so few hitpoints.
Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 13/13/11 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24 Wednesday August 6th, 2014 9:07:19 PM
Spire looks up, having just caught his breath, and sees Coer's skin. "It looks like... it looks like what happened to me," the elf gestures to his own skin, which has become slimy and transparent. "Coer, do you feel any different? My amulet grants me the ability to see underwater rather well, but little else."
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 4/42 Wednesday August 6th, 2014 9:26:42 PM
Sam opens the trap door to see what lies beyond.

"No super powers yet" Quips Coer as he starts coughing "Just... finding it hard to breathe."
"What have you found Sam"
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 2/60 temp -4WIS d20+4=10 ; Thursday August 7th, 2014 12:33:06 AM
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.

Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 13/13/11 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24 Thursday August 7th, 2014 12:06:54 PM Hard to breathe? Spire cocks an eyebrow as he looks the minotaur before a horrible realization starts to creep over him. "Coer... Coer, I think you need to put your head underwater. I think you should do that right now."
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 12/49 Thursday August 7th, 2014 2:31:37 PM
Finding it awful hard to breath, Jozhur takes Spire's advice and quickly dunks his head under the water.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC17 - HP 12 of 38) d6=5 ; Thursday August 7th, 2014 2:40:05 PM
Zeoll makes sure that Magana is not going to attack again.
The old liontaur stretches. "What a day!" he says. "Rrest a moment, fellows, whilst my good frriend herre has a lookey-loo."
He asks his brownie friend to head down the trap door and scout around, then dim door back in time to tell us what he sees.
Waiting for the scout to get back, Zeoll channels for the last time today, healing 5 to all!

Aex again feels the healing spell cure some of her wounds but she can sense the strange feeling on her skin... this ain't right... Breathing heavily she tranforms to her Gnome self...
"I feel this strange feeling on my skin also... whatever is happening to Coer is going to happen to more of us... could this be some kind of poison? We must find something to stop this seeping through our veins..."

More healing is dished out, Zeoll sends his Brownie To check the cubby below the trap door, and Jozhur sticks his head in the water. Under the water he breathes a bit, but it is even hard under the water.

"Put my head under water.... my arms are turning to jelly Spire, not my mind.

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)

Aexana says as she notices her friends suddenly loose intrest in the situation and instead consider it more important to check out the loot first..
Dm Shawn - A Swim and a fight Friday August 8th, 2014 10:32:54 PM
Discussions are made to ransack the rest of the caves, while the idols closest to them are knocked over already.
Spire and Sam do their best to figure everything out..
A gray cloak trimmed with black satin ribbon (Cloak of Comfort 1000gp)
A pair of fancy velvet slippers featuring an embroidered & beaded design (non magical)

Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 9/42 Saturday August 9th, 2014 3:40:58 PM
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.
Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 13/13/11 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24 Sunday August 10th, 2014 6:09:46 PM "Pop in to the inn and let us be off then. I believe someone still owes us gold." Spire follows along sleepily, his eyes half-open.

"Hopefully some villagers surface. Maybe they'd know what is wrong with us."

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.
OoC :: Using Cleric-prepared Summon Monster I spell to spontaneously cast Cure Light Wounds, Aexana is healed for 6HP

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.

While the group decides which way to go, Jozhur dunks his head back underwater.
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 17/49 Monday August 11th, 2014 11:40:21 PM
Hit point update from a few rounds ago. Jozhur took no damage this post, correct?
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 7/60 temp -4WIS Tuesday August 12th, 2014 10:24:40 AM
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

"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... "
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 17/49 Wednesday August 13th, 2014 7:03:23 PM
Jozhur stares quizzically at Aexana for a moment, not sure what to make of her comment.
"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."
Coerator (Mark) AC17/16/14 -- CMD 22 -- HP 18/68 (Ki 1/5) Wednesday August 13th, 2014 8:33:29 PM "If Zeoll can keep us moist enough to travel to Bonetown that is Joz. We should make for home and get our bearings and... some whiskey and rest.
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
Zeoll agrees with Coer. "Time to set sail, my frriends," he declares.
Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 13/13/11 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24 Thursday August 14th, 2014 11:41:08 AM "I will not die again because of some horrid island... Let us leave, now." The elf takes the initiative and leaves the inn, hurrying down the hill to the docks.
OoC :: Is it still pouring rain/does it look like it might?
Magana (Craig) [HP 71+12(rage) of 71] Thursday August 14th, 2014 11:52:37 AM
Magana helps Coer raid the bar then helps him to the Lionfish. Her willingness to aid him is not at all influenced by alcohol. Honest.
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 17/49 Thursday August 14th, 2014 4:03:38 PM
In no mood for a drink, Jozhur hurries off to the Lionfish with Spire. He enlists help getting a barrel of water brought up to the deck and climbs inside.
StevenVdB) Aexana HP 9(2)/49 - AC16/14/13 - +4 vs Giant - CMD 16 - +1 vs Lizards & Goblinoids Thursday August 14th, 2014 6:48:04 PM
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.
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 7/60 temp -4WIS Thursday August 14th, 2014 6:55:29 PM
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.
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 12/49 d20+6=10 ; Thursday August 14th, 2014 11:28:08 PM
Jozhur stands at the edge of the deck and watches Gullport disappear. All those people...gone. And where was Kane?
He gets to work in the rigging to occupy his mind. (sailing check: 10)
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 7/60 temp -4WIS d20+8=23 ; Friday August 15th, 2014 12:05:49 AM never had to be of any use of a ship, boys. Let me know if'n I can do anything useful.
Playing lookout on the bow for now, perception 23
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 9/42 d20+11=26 ; Friday August 15th, 2014 12:22:00 AM
As the ship heads out and Gullport falls, Sam chalks the situation up to another example of pure evil that stains the Wold. If needed, he offers navigating assistance based on where the captain decides he wants to sail. (Knowledge:geography=26)
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC17 - HP 12 of 38) Friday August 15th, 2014 10:03:12 AM
Zeoll grins. "Well, 'all's well that sinks well,' I always say!"
"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!
"Thoughts, anybody?"
Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 13/13/11 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24 Friday August 15th, 2014 12:33:18 PM
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."
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 7/60 temp -4WIS Friday August 15th, 2014 1:32:37 PM Seems as good a place as any. I'm sure we can find anything we're looking for in a port such as that.
Magana (Craig) [HP 71+12(rage) of 71] Friday August 15th, 2014 2:08:12 PM
Magana lends her strength to filling barrels with sea water for those with the need to stay wet. She then approaches Spire.
"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 (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 13 -- HP 9/42 Friday August 15th, 2014 4:24:20 PM
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.
Spirysn'rar Kilarn (Ian) AC 13/13/11 - CMD 14 - HP 24/24 Friday August 15th, 2014 6:35:53 PM
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."
StevenVdB) Aexana HP 9(2)/49 - AC16/14/13 - +4 vs Giant - CMD 16 - +1 vs Lizards & Goblinoids Friday August 15th, 2014 6:53:45 PM
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
StevenVdB) Aexana HP 9(2)/49 - AC16/14/13 - +4 vs Giant - CMD 16 - +1 vs Lizards & Goblinoids Sunday August 17th, 2014 6:55:09 PM
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...
