Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) Friday January 2nd, 2015 4:15:23 PM
Zeoll worries about the shark and the threat near Aexana.
"We need better magical communication," he mutters in his native tongue.
Dm Shawn - A Broken Ship Monday January 5th, 2015 10:30:09 AM
OOC: Back to our previously scheduled programming....
The raft lazily flows with the current, and with a little help finally comes ashore. The man is a dark skinned, laying with his face down and unable to be seen yet. Magana knows the shark is nowhere to be seen now, and is not setting off her trident. Aexana also does not see a fin on the surface.
The dead mans body is searched, and Terser pulls out a rolled up scroll in a watertight tube. Before it can be examined, Sam's voice is heard " That is a member of the sages guild, look at the cloak."
The scroll is rolled up, and has a wax seal.
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 78/78] Monday January 5th, 2015 11:23:31 AM Perhaps you should be the one to read the scroll then, Sam.
He hands over the tube, then heads over to see what he can do for their waterlogged visitor.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) Monday January 5th, 2015 3:09:40 PM
Zeoll feels triumphant, having chased the shark away. He emerges from the water, removes the manta cloak, and declares, "Behold and wonderr, forr I am Zeoll, the sharrk whisperrerr!"
Calming down, the old wemic casts detect magic on the scroll case and on the scroll that is presumably within.
(StevenVdB) Aexana Monday January 5th, 2015 4:06:40 PM
Aex smiles as Zeoll emerges from the water and gives the Taur lass a big thumb's up!
"Oh jolly... the old taur has lost it... probably been under water for too long! Who knows what that cloak has done to her aging brain... or what's left of it..." Aex-Air thinks with an elemental frown.
Now where's that new dude and what's to be done about the dead dude... too many dudes in one day.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) Monday January 5th, 2015 6:38:40 PM
... gives the Taur lass ... LASS!
FYI, Zeoll is now and always has been quite MALE!

Magana (Craig) [HP 81 of 81] [DR 1/-] Tuesday January 6th, 2015 1:03:41 AM
Magana flips over the body to get a better look at the face.
Coerator (Mark) -- AC17/16/14 -- CMD 23 -- HP 80/80 (Ki 7/7) d20=14 ; Tuesday January 6th, 2015 4:39:32 AM "What is this fool doing on the raft in first place". Coer snorts grumpily as Magana rolls him over.
He raises his lantern to light the gloom and get a good look at the castaway.
~~~ Perception to see the man on the raft; 27
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 55/55 Tuesday January 6th, 2015 3:26:14 PM
Jozhur approaches the man on the raft, "Hello! Are you alright?"
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) d6=6 ; d6=5 ; d6=2 ; Tuesday January 6th, 2015 5:17:17 PM
Zeoll channels energy to help the man on the raft, as soon as he is in range. With the phylactery, that's 13 hp to everyone.
Yel'kno 66/66 HP 23/16/18 AC CMD 25 Tuesday January 6th, 2015 10:52:27 PM
The ebony skinned face of Yel'kno, former captain of the Lionfish, peers back up at Coer as he is turned over, scarred ear and all. He looks worse for wear from his time on the raft and while his body is free of wounds he pokes towards Coer's belt with a weak hand. "Water..." is croaked out in a raspy voice.
Despite having been stuck on a raft at sea for who knows how long his equipment seems in decent enough conditions. His chain armor is free from rust, though the gleam is dull by a dusting of dried salt. he wears a white surcoat over the mail with a golden acorn on the chest.
Dm Shawn - A Broken Ship Wednesday January 7th, 2015 12:25:23 AM
Terser hands the scroll to Sam, but before doing so Zeoll casts detect magic on the scroll(or more correctly two scrolls, one of which radiates magic wjile the other does not.
Aexana ponders the new dudes, too many!!
Magana examines the dead man more. His wounds look to have blead him out and killed him slowly. Little wounds can be seen over his body where scavengers have started to pick away.
Jozhur and Coer move closer to the man on the raft, and are taken back when the former captain of the Lionfish, Brother Yel'kno is looking back....
Sam take the first scroll and reads it to himself.
"It's from the sages guild. This man was sent to gather me and bring me with him." He looks at the second scroll... "this was the spell to do it."
He thinks for a few minutes before speaking to Terser... " I am sorry, I must go...."
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) d20+8=10 ; Wednesday January 7th, 2015 11:03:57 AM
Zeoll says to Sam, "I'm sorrry Sam, but that scrroll is just much too powerrful to let you use. We divide all ourr trreasure fairrly, of courrse, so you can have a one-eighth sharre of it. That's all."
The old liontaur looks serious and solemn as he denies Sam his desired means of departure.
"You can have that rraft as yourr one-eighth sharre, though."
Sense Motive DC10: Highlight to display spoiler: {Zeoll is having a hard time keeping a straight face. He is totally pulling Sam's leg.}
(StevenVdB) Aexana Wednesday January 7th, 2015 3:41:03 PM
(OoC - why did I think from the very beginning Zeoll was female?!? For some reason I always looked at 'him' as an old lady taur... very sorry Cayzle!! Must be that he complains like an old lady now and then ;-) )
Aex-Air is a bit distracted and and loss at the latest happenings. New people joinging... dead dudes in the water... how's the Lionfish holding up right now? ...
Clueless about what to do the elemental hovers over the water and keeps an eye out on the horizon. It was not that long ago that she plummetted down to the wet sand so she refrains from flying too high for now...
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) Wednesday January 7th, 2015 3:54:04 PM
... he complains like an old lady now and then.
Okay, well, that *does* make sense!
Magana (Craig) [HP 81 of 81] [DR 1/-] Wednesday January 7th, 2015 7:57:14 PM
Magana looks at Zeoll in puzzlement over his near chastisement of Sam about a stupid piece of parchment, but keeps her mouth shut and turns back to examining the dead body for clues to its origin and manner of passing.
(ooc: dice roller not working for me. Perception +12)
Yel'kno 66/66 HP 23/16/18 AC CMD 25 Wednesday January 7th, 2015 8:52:25 PM
Yel'kno is just so thirsty.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) Wednesday January 7th, 2015 10:10:00 PM
Zeoll creates water to give gently to the thirsty man.
"Sorrry," he says. "I was distrracted by my foolerry." He seems a bit abashed.
Once the man has recovered, Zeoll asks his name and how he came to be here.
Dm Shawn - A Broken Ship Thursday January 8th, 2015 12:03:51 AM
Sam smiles at the joke from his friend. He looks to the raft, and then back to the scroll.
" I am sorry, but that will be too slow"... he says with a laugh.
He walks over to the area where everyone is camping, and gets his possessions together and strapping them to his back. He walks up to each member of the group and says his good byes with as big and strong a hug that he can manage.
When everyone is spoken for, he takes the scroll and begins reading it. He waves one last time as his body begins to phase out and finally disappear. Where Sam Snapdragon once stood, are now two footprints in the sand.
OOC: Remember we should be back to posting once a day.
Coerator (Mark) -- AC17/16/14 -- CMD 23 -- HP 80/80 (Ki 7/7) Thursday January 8th, 2015 4:36:01 AM
Coer stands speechless for a moment as stares into a face he knows well - his long dead friend and previous captain of the Lionfish lies before him.
"Well blow me down....." he finally mutters with a shake of his head, then blurting out "BUT YOU'RE DEAD.... are we dead? Someone check. Are. We. Dead.""
Coer steps back and sees Sam on the beach reading a scroll before vanishing. I hope he finds his place at the guild'
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 78/78] Thursday January 8th, 2015 1:15:42 PM
He's come so close to losing Sam so many times. But this is the first time in ages that they've ever been separated. He doesn't quite know what to do without his little friend. Always before, Sam had been there to guide him, help him, encourage him. Now, he's just a bit lost.
Terser just sits down where he is in the sand and lets himself process this new state of being. He isn't alone, but it feels that way. At least at the Sage's Guild, he should be safe...
(StevenVdB) Aexana Thursday January 8th, 2015 4:08:22 PM
Aex gives Sam an elemental hug as he says his goodbyes. Then she wonders who this Yel'kno is... apparently some of the others seem to know him! Trying to be somewhat polite Aex changes back to her Gnome self. Standing only a few feet with purple pink hair she goes over to meet him.
"Well met Sir... I'm Aexana... not long do I sail with the crew of the Lionfish but during that short period of time well... it got me killed already once :-) ... well no... I guess that was my own fault and these fine friends were daring enough to bring me back... for which I am very grateful."
Yel'kno 66/66 HP 23/16/18 AC CMD 25 Thursday January 8th, 2015 6:27:36 PM
Gratefully lifts his emptied skin that old cat lady Cayzle nicely refilled and take the tiniest of sips while fighting the urge to gulp it down. He takes another few sips in silence before speaking in a hoarse voice "Was dead... not anymore. The priests of Eberyon asked for my return.." he takes another few sips and leans back to let the water work.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) Thursday January 8th, 2015 8:05:41 PM
OOC: Oh DOUBLE snap! Sure, Zeoll is old, but it's lion, not cat; man, not lady; and Zeoll, not Cayzle! LOLOL!
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) Thursday January 8th, 2015 8:11:29 PM
Zeoll says to Coer, "You know, I was dead myself once forr a few yearrs. It's not so bad."
He tends to the newcomer. "Just lie easy, sailorr."
Zeoll whispers to the rest of the party, "He's delerious with thirrst and the trrials of his experrience Give him a chance to rrecoverr."
Magana (Craig) [HP 81 of 81] [DR 1/-] Thursday January 8th, 2015 8:27:27 PM
Unable to glean any useful information from the corpse, Magana sets herself to watching the surrounding area in case anything else exciting happens this night.
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 55/55 Friday January 9th, 2015 12:07:24 AM
Jozhur says his farewell to Sam, then turns his attention back to Yel'kno.
"Yel'kno! Welcome back, Captain! Welcome back to the Lionfish... and the living."
"Everyone, this is Yel'kno, former Captain of the 'Fish."
He stays with Yel'kno, making sure he has everything he needs to recover.
Dm Shawn - A Broken Ship Friday January 9th, 2015 2:14:07 AM
Coer is amazed to be standing face to face with the former captain of the Lionfish. Sometimes death doesn't have the final grasp on someone apparently.
Terser drops to the ground where he is, for the first time feeling alone without Sam. He knew he would be safe at the sages guild, but it still hit him hard.
Still parched, and perhaps part delrious, Yel'kno tells the party how the priests of Eberyon wanted his return.
Magana ever vigilant keeps an eye out for anything.
Aexana says goodbye to her friend before sharing her own stories of being killed with Yek'kno.
Jozhur makes sure to introduce the newcomer/returner to the group, as the former captain of the Lionfish.
------------------------------
The waterskin is almost emptied trying to satisfy the thirst of the Yel'kno. Floating on a raft for some time will drain a lot from a man. The pleasantries and hellos are continued for some time before the rays of the sun start breaking the horizon shining a light across the bay. For the first time Yel'kno can see his former ship, in all her glory, torn apart on the spiked rocks. The morning brings the rest of the crew who approach cautiously to the former captain. Those who knew him exchange a hug or handshake, while those who didn't introduce themselves.
Coerator (Mark) -- AC17/16/14 -- CMD 23 -- HP 80/80 (Ki 7/7) Friday January 9th, 2015 4:28:29 PM "So the priests brought ye back and then set you adrift on a raft? Well its good to see you again friend! The Lionfish... well she got smashed by a giant crab because we may be in a war with a god. Rum?"
Coer offers Yel'kno some of the remaining rum and waits to hear more details about his return.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) Friday January 9th, 2015 5:01:42 PM
"Oh! Captain Yel'kno. I have hearrd tales of yourr adventurres. Welcome and well met!"
The old liontaur sets aside his massive tower shield and bows to the former captain of the Lionfish.
Privately, he sees patterns and connections. A companion departs, a companion arrives. The wheel of the Wold turns, and, at my age, I find that I am not surprised, he thinks.
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 78/78] Friday January 9th, 2015 5:34:50 PM I just got used to calling this hulking beast captain. Now you're all saying you were the former captain. I would worry about what to call who now, but it seems like without a ship, we don't have a captain at all. Just promise me you'll have it sorted before we finish repairs and embark again.
Dm Shawn - A Broken Ship Saturday January 10th, 2015 12:15:54 AM
" The repairs should be done today or tommorow Captain... errr Captain" Cato says as he looks betwe e Coer and Yel'kno. " As soon as we are seaworthy, off this island we go."
Cato turns around and heads back with the rest of the crew to work on the Lionfish. By this time the sun is up and shining.
Ooc: a rough week of posting, Ill chalk it up to leftover holiday relaxation. Lets have a better week next week, I promise it will be more eventful.... :)
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 55/55 Saturday January 10th, 2015 1:42:39 AM
Jozhur finds a moment for a word with the other adventurers, away from the crew.
"So...who's in charge now? Coer, would you like to step back into your role as First Mate? Would you like to resume as Captain, Yel'kno? It's probably best we decide soon, more for the crew than our sake."
Yel'kno 66/66 HP 23/16/18 AC CMD 25 Saturday January 10th, 2015 9:57:33 AM
after some proper hydration Yel'kno is more or less back to functioning normal... Though his face falls at the sight of the Lionfish, "whatd you do to our ship?!"
he nods at the explanation given, "Ive some vague knowledge of your plight.. It's why the priest brought me back I think. they booked me passage on a ship to Bonetown, but it sunk in a storm and I fashioned the raft out of some of the debris..."
he takes in a breath at the mention of the captaincy. "who the Captain is is up to you. I'll take it if offered, but I'll hold no hard feelings if not. I'm a different man than I was before.. Had a lot of time to think.. I've sworn myself to Eberyon and the Good of the Wold as a paladin. Captain or not, I'll help the Lionfish"
Magana (Craig) [HP 81 of 81] [DR 1/-] Saturday January 10th, 2015 4:14:42 PM
Although initially suspicious of the extraordinarily coincidental means buy which a former member of the crew "happens" to float back in, Magana realizes this must be another sign of Gargul's favor. She welcomes Yel'kno and introduces herself.
(StevenVdB) Aexana Sunday January 11th, 2015 3:57:35 PM "I don't care who's captain of the Lionfish as long as he or she sails us to better waters... but then again, I fear the Gods have other plans with us... but... does the old or new captain already know where he'll be sending the Fish next?!?" Aex says.
Aex also wonders how much more repairs the Lionfish need. She'll have some mending spells available if needed. Is the hull still flooded?
Coerator (Mark) -- AC17/16/14 -- CMD 23 -- HP 80/80 (Ki 7/7) Sunday January 11th, 2015 10:06:20 PM "Captain... tis vastly and honorary title aboard the Lionfish. We be equals in my eyes. I'd be honored to share the title with you Yel'kno.
Try to stay alive this time though."
Coer keeps a serious face as long he can, but has to pop a bad joke in at the end as is his nature.
(StevenVdB) Aexana Monday January 12th, 2015 3:42:51 PM
Checking up on the Fish Aex wonders also checks the tide. Whenever it's high tide is probably the best moment to get the Lionfish back in the water. In any case... she prefers not to stay here for much longer anyhow...
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) Monday January 12th, 2015 5:05:59 PM
Zeoll looks from one captain to the other. He shrugs.
Tomorrow he will again use his Make Whole and Mending spells to aid in the repair of the ship.
Dm Shawn - A Broken Ship Monday January 12th, 2015 7:21:26 PM
Jozhur cuts the tension, and lays it out bluntly. Who is the captain? A simple question that holds a lot of power in its answer.
Yel'kno is quick to add he doesn't care where stations, as captain or follower all are good to him.
Magana was initially skeptical of the newcomer, but now seems to have warmed up to the former captain.
Aexana doesn't care who captains, as long as they can lead the ship well. She knows the tides will be in in a few hours.
Coerator is willing to share the captains role with Yel'kno. Co captains so to say.
Zeoll has no cares in who the captain is. ---------------------------
While the discussion of who captains the ship continues, the crew of the Lionfish head back out into the water to help patch up the ship. The boats repairs are almost done, and the ship could probably set sail the following day, and the final repairs be fixed while on the ship.
The sun beats down as the morning gets longer. Work is done by everyone, with spells being cast, wood being chopped, and water being bailed. The day is dull, and hot, but everyone has a good attitude and songs are even song to help the morale.
" 12 O'clock.... " the scout on the crows nest yells out. His hands pointing off to the distance in the bay. " Something fast is coming..."
Perception check DC15 : Highlight to display spoiler: {Uh-oh... there's a dark shape in the water and its heading towards the Lionfish} DC20 : Highlight to display spoiler: {It's moving much faster than the sahuagin were.}
Yel'kno 66/66 HP 23/16/18 AC CMD 25 d20+7=18 ; Monday January 12th, 2015 9:08:52 PM
Yel'kno agrees to coer's suggestion of a co-captaincy and lets the matter be settled.
When it comes time to work he lends his back to the task, hauling buckets of water and wood as needed to help in the repairs...
And at the scouts call he moves to the side of the ship to peer out at the water with his hand on his forehead to shield his eyes. "Aye... something is coming in under the water."

Terser thinks back, trying to remember the speed with which the giant crab moved and the wake it caused. Do these seem similar? It wouldn't do to fix the ship just to have it smashed to pieces again before their eyes.

Zeoll casts mage armor, and dons the cloak of the manta ray again. He is ready to enter the water. How far is he headed in?
Magana moves to the ships railing and tightens up the grip on the trident, ready for a charge.
Aexana chimes in that it sounds like the gigantic crab from prior, she decides to help the old liontaur and casts Bark Skin on him.
Terser asks for a water breathing spell that Aexana offered.
Captain Coerator drinks his mage armor potion, and gets in the best pirate sneer possible.

The crab stays under the waves, as it moves into range to destroy the ship.

I'm going for the rider once it gets in range. Secondary target is the big claw, cracking that open seemed to cripple the other ones pretty good.

Extra - Terser's correct I can divide the Water Breathing over everyone who wants. Aex can cast this for a total of 14 hours of Water Breathing. As such she will divide it over as many who want the spell (including herself)
Everyone please specify to our DM if you have taken the Water Breathing. We'll check the total who signed up for the spell and then check duration...

Jozhur ducks behind the railing of the ship, draws his bow and waits for the seaspawn to break the surface of the water.
Aexana casts water breathing on those who ask, incase anyone wants to enter the water and not drown.
Yel'kno asks for one of the water breathing spells, while activating his sword to flame up.
Magana asks for someone to make her bigger, she wants to protect the mast of the ship after the hard work of getting the new one on.
Tersers plan is rider first, claw second.
Zeoll redies his tower shield, dons the manta ray, and enters the water to look around. --------------------------------------
Once under the water, Zeoll can see the entirety of the scene. The gigantic crab is 50' across, with arms that reach another 30' and end in huge claws the size of rowboats. ON top of the crab sits one of the seaspawn as an odd, otherworldy crab wrangler of sorts. As soon as Zeoll entered the water, the crab saw its first meal and moves its right claw to attack the liontaur.
HIt AC 24 on Zeoll's tower shield. By passes 5 hardness (leaving 12 for the shield). 26 damage.
The Crab does not break the surface, but the party can see the movement under the water.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) Friday January 16th, 2015 1:30:30 PM
Zeoll again uses his shield for total cover and backs up 40 ft out of the water and up the beach, to Y-Z-12-13.
[OOC: Confused about how much damage my shield takes ... My understanding is it has 60 HP and hardness 17. So of that 26 damage, 9 gets through ... current Shield HP: 51 of 60.]
Ooc: Correct, I mentioned the hardness and then forgot to figure it in.
Double OOC: Slipped my mind, but as I said in the post the claw bypasses 5 hardness. Therefor 14 gets by.. 46/60

OOc: sorry for missed post - doing an assignment and it slipped my mind. Coer would have taken some of that water breathing spell just in case.
~~~ "Yarr, we need to get close to the beast and kill its rider. I can make the jump. Shall I go for a swim?" Coer is wary to dive in given his recent encounter with the 'Giant" crabs, but if the others encourage him he will dive in.

Having provided Water Breathing for most and given Zeoll more protection (don't forget the Barkskin Cayzle) Aex concentrates on her Domain Powers. She calls forth the power of Lightning once again and immediately unleashes a first bolt striking the Crab Rider...

The last thing Jozhur want so do is fight a giant sea creature in its own environment. He stays behind cover, hoping a target emerges for him.
Knowing the old Liontaur can't hear him from under the water, he tries to will the brave fellow to safety. Zeoll no, get out of the water please!

Zeoll uses his shield, and backs up 40' out of the water. The crab crunches its claws on the shield one times as he backs up. (Aoo, 31 dmg (blocks 12), so 19 damage to the shield. 27/60)
Coer decides not to jump into the water, and loads a crossbow bolt.
Terser uses the charge on the ring, and watches the rider get knocked off the crab underwater.
Aexana wants to use the power of lightning, but the rider is still submerged. (I don't know if you wanted to cast the spell otherwise, but the rider has not surfaced yet. Since the spell is a version of call lightning it doesn't work underwater.)
Jozhur stays hidden not wanting to fight the crab in it its enviroment.
Magana takes some of the water breathing, and tries to gauge how deep it is. She knows the boat is stuck on the spires. The surround water is about 40' deep, enough to cover the crab and rider.
Yel'kno awaits for the crab to emerge.
--------------------------------------------------------- The rider curses under the water, but is muffled by the ocean. He swims over to the crab, and can be seen saying something to the crab. He climbs back ontop of the crab and repositions himself on top of the shell.
Rider 4
Magana (Craig) [HP 81 of 81] [DR 1/-] Monday January 19th, 2015 5:28:27 PM
Since the crab doesn't seem to have any interest in coming closer, Magana decides to take the battle to it. She jumps into the water (trident in hand) and moves/swims to the center of its underbelly.
(ooc: She tries to time this move for when the crab might be busy dealing with another attack this round to minimize its chances for an attack of opportunity.)
(ooc: Magana is a learned individual and understands the basic principles of buoyancy and displacement. She *thinks* the crab won't be able to just sit down and squash her, so is willing to take the risk.)

Magana realizes the fight might need to happen under the water, and dives into the ocean to take on the crab. (Need a swim check, w/ armor mod.) The crab reaches up to snap at her but misses.
Coerator follows after, and dives towards the rider. He punches, really slowly in the water, and connects with the rider. The riders AOO misses the minotaur. ( Need a swim check)

Since both claws are otherwise occupied, Terser flings himself across the intervening distance so as to bring the fight to the rider. He falls just short of his target though, and instead scrabbles for purchase on the crab.

The crab looks unfazed at the attacks. Its claws dig i to Magana's skin (30 dmg), and cut into Coerator as well(23 dmg).
The rider still has control of the crab, and sees new enemies approaching. His sword is in his handing waiting for the first one to attack.

Zeoll finishes his spell and summons a ... [rolls a d10 = 4] ... a mephit! It is either fire, water, air, earth. For is a random roll, Zeoll gets [rolls a d4 = fire] Fire mephit.
The creature is one step removed from Zeoll's own alignment, and therefore the spell lasts two rounds per level and "it will act as you command to the best of its abilities and to the best of your ability to communicate with it."
Zeoll urges the mephit, "Please attack that crrab and its seaspawn rriderr as best you can, but without hurrting anyone else."
[OOC: If the kindly DM wishes to run the mephit, great! If not, I suggest it use its Heat Metal ability on the seaspawn.]
Then Zeoll begins to cast another spell of the exact same kind.

Aex sees the crab is hovering close to the bottom. (going blind without a map so DM's please be lenient - also we're talking depth compared to one another right now so that's tricky...)
Checking the vegetation on the bottom Aex assumes there will be plenty of sea weed or other vinelike plants down there. She casts Entangle on the plants directly below the crab hoping to hamper its movement and abilities to attack her friends - before she goes to heal them! (Reflex DC16 to partially escape)
Aex hopes the vines won't grapple to high so it will hamper the crab by not her friends attacking it from above...

Still thinking that the rider is the more dangerous foe, Terser brings his glaive to bear on him. (any sort of rolls necessary to maintain balance on the crab?)
He feeds off of Magana's energy and brings his own rage to bear, hoping to quickly finish off the seaspawn and deprive the crab of further orders.

Yel'know sinks to the bottom, and tears into the crab with his flaming sword. The sword cuts chunks into the crab.
Zeoll finishes his casting and a fire mephit comes into existence in front of him. The mephit looks to the water, it snorts some small flames out of its nose. " You want me to go in there? " he says, looking to the ocean. " Dumb Lion doesn't know fire and water don't mix. So be it... " the rest is not heard as the mephit heads for the crab. (Will cast spell next round). Zeoll follows the mephit into the water to help Magana.
Snafu brings about a trio of elementals, who surround the rider. 2 of them strike true.
Aexana makes the seaweed and aquatic plants wrap around the crabs legs. The crab hovers a bit and avoids the entanglement.
Magana enrages, and attacks the crab but nothing sticks.
Terser hits twice on the rider, confident it is the worse of the two. Need a Dc 14 fort save
Jozhur comes down on the other side of the rider, and connects with his sword. Need a DC 14 fort save
The crab reacts to the attack from Yel'kno, and lets go of Coerator and Magana. Seeing the Liontaur coming back it reaches towards him and snips at him. The claws cut deep with no shield to protect him.(31 dmg, AOO)The liontaur does lend his healing to Magana though.
The claws flash at Yel'kno and that damned flaming sword while the other clips at Terser. Both claws find their mark. Yel'kno takes 32 dmg while Terser takes 31. Both are grappled, CMB for Yel'kno is 39, for Terser is 37.

Snafu's water elementals continued their attacks. The effort was there. The skill... not so much.
Meanwhile Snafu started casting. Suddenly firey rays exploded from his hands at the massive crab. (Hit Touch AC 25, damage 14; Hit touch AC 21; damage 11) Actions: Hit AC 21; damage 8 Hit AC 15; damage 6 Hit AC 13; damage 5

Jozhur tries not to panic when he sees Terser and Yel'kno get snatched up. He swims into position to take advantage of Snafu 's water elementals and lunges at the seaspawn once again.

12 hp healing to himself, Magana, and whoever else the kindly DM says is in range.

There's only this much Aex can do to help and with so little offensive spells that work when submerged she considers healing the tanks her best options...
She tries to get close to Coer since Zeoll is healing himself and Magana. Of able to get in reach Aex will cast cure serious wounds for only 12HP... (3d8+7 for just 12 points??!!??)

Terser easily overcomes whatever menace is coming from the rider. Fort Save 32 (including rage bonus) He is winding up to swing again when the claw plucks him from the crab's back.
Darn it all! Was hoping the crab wasn't that flexible. Ware! There's some spell on the rider!
Unable to utilize his glaive, Terser pounds on the crab claw with his Cestus, counting on it to break through the tough armor.

Looking again to take out the rider Coer pushes his fists through the water as hard as he can, calling on his Ki to assist.
His hands churn the water as they surge towards the enemy.

Yel'kno is unable to avoid the giant claw that comes for him and grabs him in its terrible grip, but at least it gives him a good target. He runs a hand over his arm and some of his wounds lessen while he jabs out with his rapier at the claw holding him.

Snafu's flames dig into the crab, scorching through the hardened shell. Meanwhile one of his elementals gets through on the rider.
Jozhur is prepared to attack, but becomes violently ill. The blood from the rider is making the water foul. (Sickened 1 rd)
Zeoll scoots away from the crab and channels healing magic into himself and Magana. His mephit laughs under the water while casting its spell. The rider Of the crab drops his rapier at the first sensation of heat.
Aexana does what she can, and heals the captain with her spell.
Terser isnt bothered by the foul blood and is more worried about the claw. He beats on it, but if the crab felt anything it doesn't react.
Coerator makes ripples in the water due to how hard he is punching. His fist connects multiple times with the rider. The last punch is not needed and the man begins to float out of his seat.
Yel'kno heals himself a bit, and then tries to use his flaming sword on the crab. His attacks bounce off harmlessly. -------------------------- The crab continues to crush and cut Yel'kno(27 Dmg) and Terser(26 dmg).
The crab doesn't stop its attack, and continues pressing even though the rider swims with the fishes.
(ooc: Magana caught some of the healing (11+12 for 23), but misses Aexana's last effort as she was moving under the crab)
Magana spent all of last round as a full round movement to get under the crab. (swim check 9, so she wasn't particularly efficient, but she should have only needed to go about 30 feet to get under the crab)
This round she uses a full round hasted attack on the crabs underbelly.
Trident: 1st: hits a 31 for 16 dmg (hero point to reroll the 1) 2nd: (hasted) hits a 27 for 16 dmg (hero point to reroll the 1) 3rd: hits a 22 for 16 dmg
(ooc: I don't think Magana would have the leverage needed to attack with her horns, so skipped that attack)

With a whole lot of options Yel'kno heals himself again and tries again against the claw. perhaps with some success.

(Mind you, Aex's last healing spell went to Coer, not Magana - Mark update your HP's please if you don't have already)
Aex's impressed when she sees the rider go down... he wasn't so tough now was he! Checking vitals on her friends she doesn't see anyone in immediate danger she can reach. So Aex swims around the battle scene and checks for others who might be drawing near... they have been overwhelmed once and the little Gnome doesn't want to let it happen a second time.

'Only the crab now' thinks Coer as he begins to jab at the oversized crustacean beneath him. He once again uses his ki to enhance his attack With little effect. All Coer's punches bounce harmlessly of the crabs thick shell

Not sure if Jozhur being sickened last round counts as his 1 round of being sick. ---------------- Jozhur tries not to add his lunch to the disgusting colors in the water. Still looking a little green, he turns downward and plunges his sword into the crab. ---------------- Swim:16 Attack hits AC 27, 4 damage plus 16 sneak attack if flanking with Magana Hasted attack hits AC 21, 9 damage plus 18 sneak damage

Magana gets underneath the crab, and twice gets her new trident into the underbelly of the beast.
Yel'kno heals himself, and swings his flaming sword at the crab but to no avail.
Aexana scouts around for more enemies but currently sees none.
Coerator throws 5 punches, all bouncing harmlessly off the shell of the crab.
Zeoll casts his spell to summon another fey. He calls to the mephit imp to keep it up. "Sure thing Lionman... I'll just wait till tommorow so I can cast the spell again."
Jozhur digs into the crab one time, tearing away at the shell. -------------------------------------------
The crab doesn't let up, and continues tearing the stomachs of Yel'kno and Terser, sending them both into unconsciousness. (Both should be at -2).
Crab 118

Aex is worried when she sees Yel'kno and Terser going down. She should have hailed them earlier! She tries to get closest to either of them and heals him for 10HP with a Cure Light Wounds...

Terser continues to use what weapons he can while the claw is constricting him. At least one of his blows seemed like it was more on point this time.

The battle has been short but the water is tiring Coer. For someone who relies on their physical prowess he is less than agile in this setting.
As his fists have failed he now pumps his legs instead, His hooves crushing the barnacles that cover the behemoth as he stomps down, feeling the shell give at least twice.

Despite his general lack of fear in any situation, even he knows when a beast is just more than he can handle. His blows are getting a bit desperate now as he stubbornly beats away at the claw that continues to crush him. Unfortunately, none of them seem to get through. (unless somehow i'm flanking this crazy claw? haha)
Magana tastes the crab's blood in the water and it tastes delicious. It spurs her to another frenzied attack on the crabs underbelly.

Aexana sends some healing Yel'kno's way, and keeps him up.
Terser stays conscious, and gets an attack in, wounding the crab.
Coerator smashes his hooved foot into the crab once.
Jozhur gets a brilliant strike in and slashes a huge chunk of the shell off.
Magana twice pokes the crab with here trident.
-------------------------------
The Crab looks weak, real weak. It closes its claws on the two men, but is too weak to put any pressure behind it. The claws open, and release the men as the crab disengages, and begins to back away. Nothing on its face shows anything other then an animalistic intelligence.
