Wil thanks Ramsey for his explanation, than casts a second spiritual weapon. Him and his archon do their best to hold back the swarm.
Mak yells to "crank faster", as he fires into the swarm.
Kiwina looks about and sees than everything seems to be going swimmingly, but then asks Falco if he wants to take the wheel.
Rolth cranks for all he's worth but his grip starts to slip off the crank, (all this excitement does cause one to sweat a bit) Luckily Ramsey notices his struggle, and rushes over and through a heroic effort the two get things running smoothly.
Ayotnom lets fly with his hand of the apprentice again, again doing his part to keep the swarm off their tail.
Tsak seems to be getting the hang of this new form of pressure as he cranks his handle.
Elyas makes a heroic effort to keep the crank going.
Falco swaps spaces with Kiwina.
******************************************************************************* The swarm is once again kept at bay by a heroic effort from the Petals. The crew run about, and help out offering 4 more aid another options.

Mak refocused and switched tactics. It seemed his arrows were only causing them to flinch regardless of how deep they penetrated, so it was more important to hit them than kill them.

Rolth stays on the crank, hoping to keep up our pace.
For a moment Tsak enters a flow state where everything just works. His efforts at the crank smooth out and he finds he has time to look around and see what the rest of the team is up to. He lets out a Woot woot! of exhilaration.

(OOC... Sorry for the lack luster post on Friday. My wife surprised me by coming home with our 5-year-old grandson, who while being one of the greatest joys of my life, is also a massive distraction, making it a struggle to concentrate, and come up with anything to say.)
Mak realizes that even though his arrows seem to be keeping the swarm away from the ship, they don't really appear to be causing any real damage. He switches tactics in order to gain better accuracy.
Rolth keeps cranking for all he's worth.
Tsak is excited about the fact that his cranking seems to be going smoothly.
Ayotnom makes the decision not to re-invent the wheel and keeps doing what he was doing, as it seems to be working.
Kiwina also keeps the ship a moving.
Wil and his archon keep at it.
Elyas keeps cranking, and is glad that his haste spell is assisting.
The Petals again are successful at keeping the Rose free from damage. Mak, Wil and Ayotnom are all beginning to realize that even though their attacks are helping keep the swarm at bay. they don't really do any damage to the fish within the swarm. What they do notice happening is thus: every time an attack would hit the swarm, the fish all seem to instinctively dodge out of the way, and this seems to cause them to slow their swim speed just enough for the Rose to pull ahead.
Those manning the crank seem to have found a nice groove, and they find themselves traveling at a speed the likes of which they have never experienced on board the Rose.
Falco finds himself guiding the Rose smoothly through the tunnel. Swerving, diving and ascending, he avoids rock outcroppings like a pro.
Ramsey and the crew continue to run around like chickens with their heads cut off, ready to fill in any gaps as needed. This round they provide 3 aid another actions.
Everyone can make a DC 20 perception check. Highlight to display spoiler: {You spot what appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel. it is obviously much dimmer than you would normally see on land, since the water filters out most of the light, but you spot it nonetheless. At your current rate, you can tell it will take you another 3 rounds to reach the end. Of course if the Rose slows down for any reason, that may add time.}

Round 1/3
Elyas is a bit thrown off by his excitement of seeing the end of the tunnel, but manages to keep his crank turning smoothly.
Wil and his archon keep up the barrage, as he cheers on his friends.
Mak is confused for a moment, thinking the light at the end of the tunnel was the final light at the end of the tunnel, but than he realizes its just the end of this tunnel. He fires 3 times and discovers he is getting low on arrows, and will have to top up his quiver.
KIwina notices the light, but focuses on the task at hand. He wonders if the fish swarm will follow them out of the tunnel.
Tsak falters a bit, but through a heroic effort, he manages to keep his crank going.
Rolth hears about the light, but keeps his focus on what he is doing.
Ayotnom magically flings his rapier again, as he worries that the light maybe a giant lantern fish.
Falco seems as though he is going to falter at the wheel, but luckily Ramsey was there to steady the feathered beastfolk. (Needed a navigation check, so I rolled for Ryan. Missed the check by one so Ramsey's aid another pushed it over the top.)
The Rose travels smoothly and extremely fast. It once again avoids the fish swarm via the valiant efforts of the Petals and the crew. The light get a little more noticeable as you get closer to the end of the tunnel, and it is clearly the end of the tunnel, as you can start to make out the rocks around the edge. One of the crew notices it and shouts out his discovery. How he didn't hear Elyas's announcement is anybodies guess. Maybe he was just waiting to confirm it was indeed the end of the tunnel. What ever the case, it is clear now that everyone knows they are reaching the end of the tunnel, and hopefully the end of this challenge. The crew are able to offer 3 aid another actions this round.

With only 4 arrows in his quiver Mak knew he'd have to grab some more from his pack very soon. He'd bundled them into sets of twenty each in his pack so getting them from that magical container would be easy, but it would delay him. Fortunately he felt he'd still be able to get one arrow off.
Right now however he dug deep and fired three of his remaining four arrows. Once more he was successful in turning the fish back, if only for a moment, but he had only one arrow remaining in his quiver.
"I'm out!" Mak called to the others. "We need to make certain everyone hits next time as I only have one arrow left!"

Rolth cranks away, hoping that this race is almost over.

OOC: If I am reading the Challenge correctly it takes three successful hits each round to keep the swarm at bay. Mak will have one attack next round which, if I understand correctly, means that Mak's single attack, Ayotnom's attack, and one other (The Lantern Archon?) must be successful or the swarm will close on the ship.

Round 2/3
Mak fires his last volley before needing to resupply. He lets Wil and Ayotnom that they are going to have to hit next round.
Wil would like to see a lantern fish. He thinks they are scary and cool. He and his archon let fly on the swarm.
Elyas keeps cranking, though he is nervously waiting for freedom.
Kiwina is a smidge distracted by Mak's announcement, but is able to keep it together, and keep cranking.
Rolth keeps cranking, hoping this ordeal is coming to an end.
Tsak hears Mak's request for back up, but isn't able to help at the time. he keeps cranking, and the Rose keeps flying through the water.
Ayotnom lets Mak know that he and Wil should be able to keep the swarm at bay if Mak needs to reload. To prove his point, he magically flings his rapier again.
Falco snaps out of his trance and manages to keep the Rose on the fastest and safest route.
With the end of the tunnel getting closer, the features keep coming more and more recognizable. at this distance, you can really start to make out the rocks around the end of the tunnel, as they are illuminated by the water filtered light. The rocks have a reddish hue to them, very similar to the color of the fish.. Also, they are very jagged, and you can tell that any false movement while exiting the tunnel is going to damage the ship. But you will have to worry about that when you get there, as the exit is still a round away. Ramsey and the crew continue to fill in where ever needed, and provide 4 aid another actions this round.

Mak had a choice. He could fire one arrow and reload his quiver or he could throw the three daggers he kept on his belt. Glancing back he saw they would be out of the tunnel in just a few seconds, so the nobleman archer decided to take a chance with the daggers. He shifted, bought his bow around low, and flicked each dagger from his belt with deadly accuracy. As each plunged into the water at the edge of the air bubble it caused the fish to scatter.
He still had one arrow, but hopefully he'd bought them enough time to reach the exit...

Kiwina keeps cranking, concerned that the exit might be a bit more difficult to navigate than the tunnel was. Then again, it just might be that the exit is more visible. Profession sailor = 23
Tsak's hand slips and life turns from a purr to a shriek as he bounces off the mechanism and face plants on the deck. He's unhurt, but won't be any help on the crank for a couple of seconds.

Wil shouts when his pair of magic crossbows fire their bolts toward the school of toothy fish. "This is exciting," he adds. "Hey, Princess of Light.. you got close too. Excellent job. I would give you an appreciative hand clap if you were a little more solid. We are almost there and this is so cool. " Wil goes quiet for a while then casts his last weapon summons.

(Profession: Sailor: 13) The anxiety of the end of the tunnel gets the best of Elyas and steps back from the crank altogether to take a breath and re-center. "What would the people in my past do, my mentors? How would they handle this?" "No doubt, they would not have this issue," he concludes and takes in a deep breath, and gets ready.

Mak decides to trow his daggers at the swarm.
Kiwina wonders if the exit maybe a bit more difficult to navigate than the rest of the tunnel, but keeps cranking.
Tsak slips, and is about to fall, but two crewman just happen to be by his side, and they grab the half-orc and steady him, allowing him to keep cranking.
Rolth sees Tsak slip, but keeps cranking.
Wil brings another spiritual weapon to the game, and he and his archon keep firing.
Ayotnom sends his rapier flying again.
Elyas is anxious as they reach the end of the tunnel. Luckily, Ramsey and a crewman are there to steady his nerves so he can focus on the task at hand. He wonders how his mentors would react in this situation.
Falco feels he is doing well, but worries about the jagged exit, and asks for an extra set of eyes.
The Rose and her crew, via a mighty effort from the Petals are at the exit of the tunnel. and much to the dismay of Elyas and Kiwina, the opening is decidedly narrower than the rest of the tunnel. this round the DC for navigation increases to 16, though all the other checks remain the same. The crew offer 3 aid another actions this round.

Mak turned away from the swarm and looked at their course with wide eyes. "Look out!" he called out as he gripped the helm and helped Falco pilot the ship through the narrow opening.

"Not too shabby my friends," Wil says to the magic crossbows and to the Archon. The Archon promptly disappears after scattering the fish with shot 1. "Bye my friend," he adds. His eyes widen as he sees the exit getting tighter but he smiles. "I'm 100% confident we will get through."

Kiwina keeps to his task, satisfied that Mak is helping Falco. Profession sailor = 30
As they exit the tunnel, he wonders what the fish behind them are doing. But he'll keep to rowing until the Petals dealing with the fish report what they see.

With a mighty whoosh, the Rose exits the tunnel. The mast comes within inches of hitting the ceiling, and the hull barely misses scraping the floor, but the Rose exits unscathed. Wil and Ayotnom watch as the fish stop before exiting the tunnel, and it maybe a trick of the light, but, as the swarm turns back, into the tunnel, it almost looks like they are absorbed into the red rock. Almost as if they had come from the rock and have now returned to it, after their job was done. With the threat over, the Petals and crew have earned a much-needed reprieve. As everyone is catching their breath, a wooden chest mysteriously rises out of the sand.

Mak leaned on his feathered friend. "That was some fancy driving, old chap. But after that I think I need a good lie down. Oh bugger." Mak said as he noticed the chest rise from the sand. "Looks like we aren't done quite yet."
Mak reached into his pack and pulled out a bundle of arrows and placed them in his quiver.

"Wahoo... " Wil attempted to slap at the magic weapons but he decided it was not the smartest idea. "They wouldn't attack me," he thinks but still, what if they did. "What do we do next? Head back up out of the water?" (Perception: 24+1) Wil searches for anything suspicious and traps with in the chest. "Let's get that chest open."
For Ben(Elyas) Friday May 13th, 2022 3:52:00 PM
Elyas is relieved that they made it through the tunnel and felt the group did very well as a team. He congratulates the team on a job well done. "I agree, let's take a look at what we won," he says.

Kiwina leaps through the wall of water surrounding the ship, trusting his cloak. He also thinks someone cast water breathing earlier, so doesn't understand why anyone is hanging back.
He swims towards the chest, looking around as he goes. (Perception = 28) He does not touch the chest, however, waiting for the others to join him.
Tsak climbs the mast to the crows nest and keeps lookout (Perception) whilst everyone else is pre-occupied with the chest.

Ayotnom says, "Let's not do that again."
He then recites, "Fleet of tail and fleet of fin, are you quick enough to swim? Prove you don’t need them to gain the key. Find the fins."
"Well I think we proved we were quick enough and we didn't need to swim since we had the Rose. I wonder if there are fins inside that chest."

Mak praises Falco's piloting, and is about to go take a nap, but than sees the chest rise from the ocean floor. He replenishes his arrow.
Wil considers giving his spiritual weapons a high five, but decides it may not be a great idea. He watches for trouble and asks what the next step is. He wants to open the chest.
Elyas is relieved they made it through unscathed, and believes the group worked together very well. He congratulates the party, and wants to see what their prize is.
Rolth is also desirous to find out what is in the chest, and is willing to go retrieve it if no one else will. He hopes they find what they cam for inside the chest.
Kiwina jumps into the water, and his cloak of the manta ray instantly goes into action. He wonders why everyone hasn't joined him since they all can breathe water, at the moment. He keeps his eyes peeled, and doesn't touch the chest, waiting for the others to arrive.
Tsak climbs to the crow's nest to get a better view. he scans the perimeter looking for possible trouble.
Ayotnom doesn't want to do that again, and lets everyone know it. he recites the clue and wonders if the fins are in the chest.
Falco, one assumes sarcastically, says that they just had a fun trip, and wonders if the rest of the challenges will be like this one. he checks out the air bubble, as everyone else is looking at the chest.
As Falco explores the air bubble, he finds that the bubble extends 10 feet from the hull, and just barely over the main mast, maybe by 2 to 3 inches. when he looks over the deck, he discovers that it quickly tapers down, and soon it hugs the ship's hull, making boarding the Rose underwater a fairly easy task, for good or for bad. The other alternative would be to swim through the air bubble from up above, and fall to the deck, which without feather fall or flight, could end painfully.
The waters are currently free from noticeable danger, in fact the only thing anyone sees is a school of brightly colored fish swimming close to investigate. The curious fish quickly swim away when they see the Petals and the crew.
Kiwana seems to be the only one who swam out to the chest, so he is the only one who really has a good description of it. It is an iron reinforced, wooden chest of medium size. Kiwina guesstimates that one person could probably carry it back to the Rose, though he hasn't tried to pick it up. There is a lock built into the front of the chest, which requires a DC 15 disable device, to unlock, or a DC 20 strength check to break. Of course, one can always simply smash the chest open, but you risk destroying what's inside.

Kiwina goes to help Elyas or anyone else if they appear to need it, remembering that the current can be tricky for someone without magical aid or enough weight.
Or if the others gesture from the ship, he could try to carry the chest back to the Rose. For now, though, he waits or helps.

Elyas swims out to help Kiwina.
Wil lets everyone know that he can probably unlock the chest, if they can get it out of the water.
Kiwina goes around helping his friends in the water.
Roth swims over to help get the chest.
Mak is cool with Wil's idea, as he isn't feeling like taking a dip at the moment.
Ayotnom rigs a block and tackle to help get the chest on board the ship.
Tsak enjoys watching the pretty fish, fully confident that his friends will get the chest on board and open.
Falco waits until the chest is brought aboard, and then casts detect magic.
Elyas, Kiwina, and Rolth find hauling the chest back to the Rose fairly easy, as the natural buoyancy of the wood makes the chest feel a lot lighter than it actually is. They realize however, that once the chest is out of the water, that will certainly change, and they will most likely struggle to get it on board the ship. Luckily, Ayotnom had the foresight to rig a block and tackle, which will make the task simple.
As the chest exits the water, water pours out of it, and the Petals wait for it to drain before bringing it on deck. once on deck everyone can see that it is a medium-sized chest, made of iron reinforced wood, which surprisingly shows no sign of corrosion or rot. It has a built-in lock which requires a DC 15 disable device or a DC 20 strength check. You can of course bash in the lid, but such a method risks damaging whatever is inside. Falco detects an aura of transmutation magic coming from inside the chest.

Falco is suprised by the quality of the chest thinking that it will also be worth keeping around. Hard to beat a well made chest. He also lets the group know about the magic from inside saying that it doesn't seem like a trap.

Mak considers trying to pry the chest open, but a cramp runs down his arm and fingers, and he decides against it. He declares the need for a new bow.
Wil easily picks the lock.
Elyas helps get the chest on board, than congratulates his friends.
Kiwina checks out the surroundings as Wil unlocks the chest.
Rolth casts Detect Magic, and is ready to help Falco identify magic stuff.
Ayotnom puts away his very useful block and tackle and rope, and than casts detect magic as well.
Tsak climbs down to witness the big reveal.
Falco is surprised by the condition of the chest, and lets everyone know that he detected magic inside it. He believes there are no magical traps.
The lock releases with a satisfying click, as Wil works his magic. No one bothered checking for traps, but luckily there doesn't appear to be any. With baited breath, the Petals slowly open the chest, and discover that it is full of coins. You dig through the coins, looking for the source of the Transmutation aura, that everyone who cast detect magic detected, and you pull out what looks like a pair of scuba diving flippers. Of course your characters would have never seen anything like this before since scuba diving equipment hasn't been invented yet, but they would easily recognize them as a pair of "fins". The fins are the source of the Transmutation aura, and Ayotnom is able to determine their function:
Fins of Swimming These fins are worn like shoes, and take up the foot slot. When worn, they grant the wearer a swim speed equal to their movement speed +10. Both fins must be worn for the magic to work. This is a unique item, valued at 6000gp.
A quick counting of the coins and the party is 10,000 gp richer.

Ayotnom is right. "Those look made for human feet." Skinning a merman for shoes, as Wil suggests, sounds gruesome even for most humans.

Elyas looks at the Fins of Swimming and wonders if these are the item they need for the key. He asks if anyone wrote down the clues.
Mak thinks one person needs to wear all the items, and thinks Ayotnom should be the one.
Ayotnom informs Mak that minotaurs can't wear shoes on account of their cloven hoofs. He believes that if someone has to wear all the items, it will have to be a member of a noble race.
Wil and company are a bit grossed out as they think the fins were made out of merfolk skin.
Kiwina agrees with Ayotnom and says a human will have to wear them. Of course a beastfolk, or half-orc could wear them as well, but that's just your DM's 2 cents. He proposes that the next step is to head back to Ardian.
Rolth reminds Elyas that they were tasked with "finding the fins", so these would have to be the "key". He agrees that the next step is to return to Ardian, and that taurs can't wear the fins, though it appears as though he wishes he could.
Tsak is happy they got the 1st challenge done, and obtained the item needed. He is also happy about the wealth obtained, but he is worn out. He heads to the galley, and helps make dinner, than heads to bead after eating.
Falco suggests that they probably won't fully understand until they have obtained all the "keys". He agrees they need to head back to Ardian.
Everyone can make a DC 16 knowledge nature check. Highlight to display spoiler: {The fins appear to be made out of shark skin}
Since the Rose is no longer in the tunnel, and is sitting on the ocean floor with no obstructions in any direction except the one from which they came, it is simply a case of surfacing and sailing back to Ardian. It takes a day longer to return than it took to arrive, due to a nasty storm you had to sail around, but all in all, the trip was uneventful. you arrive at Ardian's house and your are ushered into his study. when you show him the fins, he seems overjoyed. "All my research finally has meaning. This proves my conclusions are true, as well as the stories. This also means that The Deep is most definitely trying to return, and we must hurry. Which challenge would you like to attempt next?"
Here are the challenges again:
The Challenge of Might - You must fight to prove your ability, don’t be shocked by what you come upon. A husk is needed.
The Challenge of Speed - Fleet of tail and fleet of fin, are you quick enough to swim? Prove you don’t need them to gain the Key. Find the fins. (Complete)
The Challenge of Durability - Rocks and disruption, you must endure the onslaught, you are not allowed to harm those that challenge you. The gifts given during this challenge are what you seek.
The Challenge of Charm - Their call is dangerous, but you must convince them to give up something beautiful, it is the key.
The Challenge of Discernment - The Guardian will offer a question, you must find a solution. The heart is what you seek.

Wil rolls his wooden die and states that he would like to take the 1st of the 5 remaining tasks. "Got to give some things to Wardd," he says. "I don't agree," Wil sighs when Cicero interrupts him but he doesn't argue. "Maybe we could do a challenge to remove voices," he says quietly but then... Thankfully Wil decides the joke about the Fishman boots is inappropriate to bring up again to the grumpy merman so he just smiles when he thinks about it.

Mak took the news that a human would have to be the one with aplomb knowing that whoever was chosen would be up to the task. For now it would be interesting to see what Ardian had to say about it. Of course that man was more interested in crowing about how right he had been.
The nobleman looked at Tsak and rolled his eyes at the wizards behavior. "If we decide on that Charm one imma need me a potion." Mak said in common that was more common than he'd typically have used.
OOC: Catacombs to get Owl's Wisdom or something to resist charm. KS: Nature +4, Roll 9. Fail.

Kiwina has no preference on which task to take next. A fight is probably not what he would have chosen, but it will have to be undertaken at some time. So Wil's method is as good as any.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (89/89HP | AC: 20; Touch: 14; CMD: 26) | Thursday May 19th, 2022 7:14:42 PM
Rolth is fine with a fight, but asks whether the party has any spells to help resist electrical attacks, since there seems to be a hint of that. "Might be fighting some kind of giant electric eel or something, right?"
Ayotnom Ogini Hugh C 76/76 | AC : 23; Touch 16; Flat 19 CMD 26 Thursday May 19th, 2022 11:41:17 PM
Ayotnom says, "I can cast resist energy up to 4 times in a day if I use all my second level spell slots. It would allow 4 of us to ignore the first 10 points of electric damage. Give me my share of the loot from the first chest, a quick trip to the catacombs and a day and I can scribe a scroll of protection from energy into my spell book which would allow 3 more of us to have 72 points of electric damage absorbed. Better question where are we going to get a husk and what kind of husk are we talking about? A corn husk?"

(Knowledge vs spoiler =12 fail)
I can do a resist energy/electricity for myself, so that with your spells that should cover all 8. And I think the husk is the reward for completing the challenge, not a requirement to attempt it.
Tsak turns to Mak I don't think there are enough charm potions in the Wold for you mate!

Elyas doesn't have any opinion on which challenge to go for next. they all have to be done, why spend time deliberating on what order? he is happy to go with the randomly rolled one.
DM Jeremy Battle Map Friday May 20th, 2022 11:47:11 AM
Wil suggests going in order, and leaving things to Wardd. Some of his "friends" disagree.
Mak is curious as to what Ardian thinks about a human wearing all the keys, but the wizard won't stop bragging that he was right. He tells Tsak if he has to face the challenge of charm, he's going to need some magical help.
Kiwina figures Wil's method is as good as any, though he isn't keen on a fight.
Rolth is down for a fight, but asks if anyone has any spells that offer protection from electricity, as the clue alludes to the idea that they will be fighting some electricity using opponent, maybe a giant electrical eel.
Ayotnom says he can cast resist electricity 4 times, and with a wee bit of coin, and some time, he can cast protection from energy. He wonders about the husk.
Tsak claims he can hook himself up with electricity protection, than turns to Mak and suggests that a potion wouldn't be of much use to him.
Elyas lets everyone know he can hook people up with electricity protection, but suggests teamwork maybe more important than the right spell load out. He's fine with any order.
With no other idea's the Petals decide to take Wil's idea and tell Ardian they with to try the Challenge of Might next. "Very good, the test of might it is!", Ardian proclaims as he claps his hands together. It is pretty obvious that he doesn't care which order you do the challenges in, he is just excited that so far his research is being proven true, and he hasn't wasted such a large portion of his life. Having your life's work vindicated tends to cause some excitement. "I'll come down to the docks, in the morning, and re-calculate Garmin for you." With that, in typical Ardian fashion, the wizard stands up and leaves the room, apparently he is heading to bed, and you are left to show yourselves out.
The next morning, as soon as the sun is up, you find Ardian on board the deck of the Rose adjusting Garmin. "That should do the trick, I'll await your return!" With that the elderly wizard leaves the sip, and you are free to set sail. Do our intrepid heroes wish to depart immediately, of is there anything they wish to do before departure?

As they were leaving the wizards home Mak hit Tsak on the shoulder. "Not to be more smooth talking. I'm already good at that, but to resist those magical sirens that are likely to be all over that charm challenge thing. I've no resistance to the ladies."
Mak needed to reequip, so he bought another 80 arrows for his longbow. Since they weren't doing the Challenge of charm he wouldn't need a potion.

To Mak Oh yeah, the ladies'll be all over you like blowies at a barbie, you'll be swatting 'em off. Maybe you can be the distraction while the rest of the team steals the, the whatever it is...
Once back at the ship Tsak spends time with Esmerelda, as he kind of ignored her yesterday. He gives her coat a thorough brush, getting rid of any knots. He then meditates on his spells for the next day, does a spot of fishing from the back deck as the sun goes down, then heads to his hammock for a well earned rest.

Mak informs Tsak that he wants to be better equipped for resisting the ladies, and less concerned about being a smooth talker. He purchases some more arrows.
Kiwina preps spells for an electrical encounter, and is ready to go.
Elyas also preps for an electrical encounter, and is ready to go.
Tsak gives Mak a hard time talking about dealing with females, than heads back to the ship to care for his kitty, and take a nap.
Rolth takes the helm.
Wil decides not to change his spell load out, and instead spends time chatting with the brambletaur members of the crew.
Ayotnom heads to the Catacombs and gets the bits he needs to scribe a spell into his spell book.
Falco informs everyone that he will prepare water breathing and resistance spells.
After some quick pre-trip preps, the Rose sets sail, following Garmin's course, as calculated by Ardian. After a half day of sailing, the needle on Garmins dial changes direction, indicating that you have just sailed over the destination, and that you have arrived. The crew decides to take a sounding, and discovers that the water here is fairly shallow, only a few hundred feet deep.
Do our intrepid heroes wish to take the Rose under the waves, or do they wish to just swim to the bottom?

Mak looked over the bow of the Rose at the churning dark water and whistled. "I'm going to need some of that free movement magic if you want us to take a dip in the water captain. Some water breathing would be helpful as well. Also unless there is a large pocket of air down there, I'll be swinging a sword instead of shooting arrows."
About that time Mak reached for his belt and realized he'd forgotten to buy daggers. Those had come in handy last time, but like the arrows would require an air pocket. He shrugged and set his bow and quiver on a hook set into the main mast.

Kiwina agrees with taking the ship down. A few hundred feet will still place them well under the surface. But in case something comes at them quickly, he encourages the others to have their plans for who gets what spells thought out in advance.

Tsak is in agreeance about taking the Rose down, about having water breathing and free movement, and about using his sword rather than bow and bolts. He makes sure Esmerelda is safely below deck, takes on any magic anyone is happy to give him and decides to stay on deck rather than climb to the crows nest. Does anyone remember what we're up against, and what we're looking for as a quest item? Is this the one that mentions electricity?
Ayotnom Ogini Hugh C 76/76 | AC : 23; Touch 16; Flat 19 CMD 26 Tuesday May 24th, 2022 1:07:52 AM
When Ayotnom prepares spells for the day he leaves his third level spell slots open and spends 3 hours of the trip scribing the scroll he purchased into his spell book.
Before the party figures out what they are doing at their destination he takes the 15 minutes needed to fill the empty slots.
When he is done his prepared spells for the day look like:
0th: Detect Magic, Light, Message, Toros Taur Try 1st: Shield, True Strike, Mage Armor, Feather Fall 2nd: Resist Energy, Resist Energy, Resist Energy, Resist Energy 3rd: Protection From Energy, Protection From Energy, Protection from energy
He says, "Regardless if we are taking the Rose down or not, I have purposely prepared my spells for today to stock protection from and resist energy. We should be pretty well protected against electric attacks I think."

Falco chimes in before casting Water Breathing on the group just before they head below the waves. Even in the ship it seems better to have the water breathing option set.
"I can give out two Protection from Energy and one Resist Energy for those that feel they will need it the most. That leaves on Resist Energy in reserve in case it is needed." Again he will cast these before they submerge as they have long durations.

Mak assumes they are going to swim for it, and sets his bow aside, as he asks for freedom of movement and water breathing.
Elyas looks around for anything, but all he sees is water in every direction. he asks if they should take the Rose down to the ocean floor.
Wil suggests taking the Rose down, even if it's just a base of operations.He asks what a strength test might initial.
Kiwina wants to take the Rose down, but suggests everyone be ready with the spells they wish to use, in case something happens.
Rolth also wishes to take the Rose down. He would like some water breathing, andt stands by the casters, weapons out.
Tsak wants to take the Rose under. He would also enjoy some water breathing and freedom of movement, as he plans to use his sword. He asks if theis is the challenge that hints at electricity.
Ayotnom preps and scribes spells customized for defending against electricity.
Falco wants the take the Rose down. He casts waterbreathing on everyone and some electricity protection on those who need it most.
It is decided to take the Rose down. Since the water isn't extremly deep here, it doesn't take long to make it to the ocean floor. A quick scan of the area, and you find a 60 ft diameter circular stone platform that extends 5 ft off the ocean floor. You are sure that this is the location of the next challenge. do our intrepid heroes wish to sail into tha dais, or swim?

That it was decided to take the ship down didn't matter so much to the young nobleman. Mak didn't know what to expect and that a 60' pedestal was sitting on the ocean floor, one large enough for the Rose to rest upon it, meant that he might just have a chance to use his bow.
So when the ship went to move he shrugged his quiver onto his shoulder and grabbed the bow in his offhand. "How long is that electrical resistance supposed to last?" he asked
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (89/89HP | AC: 20; Touch: 14; CMD: 26) | d20+16=17 ; Tuesday May 24th, 2022 3:54:05 PM
Rolth will happily accept a Water Breathing and Protection from Energy (Electricity) from Falco. He is wary of sailing directly onto the platform and suggests that we set the Rose down right next to it instead. Don't want to lose this wonderful vessel!" That said, if the majority want to sail onto it, he will accept that as well. Either way, he will cast Bless on the party and crew a moment before we arrive, and will start to Inspire Courage just before we land or step upon the platform. And of course take another close look around for threats.

Ayotnom says, "I do not think we should sail the ship onto the dais lest we get the ship embroiled in some battle that may cause it to be destroyed. I can cast protection from and resist shock damage on folks. The resistance I can confer will last for an hour and the protection will last up to an hour or until 72 points of damage have been absorbed. So who wants what? The resistance will allow you to ignore the first 10 points of shock damage and the protection will absorb up to 72 points of damage total. The spells do stack so if someone wants both they can have both. I'm at least going to put a protection from energy on myself that would leave 2 more protections and 4 resists."
He casts the spell on himself as well as mage armor

Tsak takes on the water breathing from Falco, the blessing and courage from Rolth as well as using his own Resist Energy (Electrical) spell. He stands at the ships rail, on the side facing the platform.
I'll have a protection Ayotnom, if no-one else wants it? What about the movement freedom thingy, is anyone offering that?
He looks at Mak Whaddya reckon it'll be? More eels, a giant shark, or long-legged crabs like giant, underwater spiders? He shivers a bit at the last, wishing he didn't have such a vivid imagination.

Elyas will also take a water breathing spell. He agrees that the Rose should be set down away from the weird pedestal.
DM Jeremy Battle Map Wednesday May 25th, 2022 12:01:10 PM
Mak wonders if he will get to use his bow after all. He asks how long the electrical resistance is supposed to last.
Rolth is happy to receive water breathing and energy resistance from Falco. He doesn't wish to risk the ship, and would prefer to swim the rest of the way. He casts bless, and begins to inspire courage.
Kiwina also doesn't wish to risk the Rose. He casts resist energy on himself.
Wil is willing to help with the spell casting, and suggest parking the Rose, and than traveling the rest of the way.
Ayotnom also wishes to leave the Rose out of the stone circle, and offers protection and resistance spells.
Tsak gets protected from his friends, and adds some of his own. He asks if anyone is handing out freedom of movement spells, and asks Mak what kind of threat he thinks they will face.
Mak also would appreciate some freedom of movement.
Elyas take a water breathing and agrees that swimming the rest of the way would be wise.
(OOC..To move things along a bit, please feel free to mention any other actions you wish to preform before departing the Rose, as part of your post, along with your response to today's DM post.)
The consensus is to depart the Rose and either swim or walk the rest of the way. You find a nice place to set the Rose down, about 50 ft from the dais, and travel, under your own power, the rest of the way. If you are swimming, and don't have a swim speed, you need to make a DC 10 swim check, as the waters are pretty calm down here. If you are walking, on the ocean floor, you will need to have at least 50 lbs of equipment or other dead weight to keep you from floating, and will be traveling as though walking through difficult terrain (1/2 speed), unless you are under the influence of a "Freedom of Movement" spell,. on which case, as long as you are weighted properly, you can travel as normal.
How ever you travel to the dais, walking or swimming, once the whole party has stepped onto the platform, a quick lookie lue revels that the dais is easily recognizable as carved by intelligent hands, as it is to perfectly round, with perfectly vertical and smooth sides and a perfectly flat top, to be a natural formation. Moments after arriving onto the dais, a booming voice can be heard inside your head saying, ”Arrre yooouu herrre to collllect the keyyyy to the Deeeepppp Priiison?”
I added a map to the header, please place yourself wherever you wish within the stone dais.

Wil attempts to swim but gets no-where fast. Looks like he will end up toward the back of the group as he struggles. He casts Freedom of Movement on himself and he is not sure if that can be shared but is willing to share.
He arrives at the dais and asks the group, "do we want a key to a prison? We don't want to let the Deeeeep out but is that what we are looking for?"

Tsak makes his way over to the platform and takes up a 10 oclock position next to Rolth's 8 oclock. At this point, with voices in his head, he's not sure whether to face inward or outward to meet any opposition. Eventually he ends up facing out toward the Rose.

(Swim: 15)
Ayotnom will oblige anyone who doesn't have resist energy with the spell and then moves over at Rolth's 4 o clock.

Mak left his longbow behind and dove into the wall of water that surrounded the ship. As the cold water enveloped him he took in a deep breath and let the water and the breathing magic work. He slowly moved to the edge of the platform and waited with the others.
DM Jeremy Battle Map Thursday May 26th, 2022 12:01:10 PM
Wil struggles to get to the dais. he casts freedom of movement on himself, and asks his friends if they want the key.
Kiwina helps those who need it to cross over from the Rose to the dais. He's surprised that Wil's armor and gear isn't enough to weigh him down, as he answers the voice.
Rolth channels his inner professional wrestling announcer, and continues to sing.
Tsak arrives at the dais, He isn't sure if this will be an outward or inward struggle.
Ayotnom hands out energy protection and resistance.
Elyas casts some protective spells on himself,than answers that they are looking for the key.
The Petals answer the question with an affirmative. There is a long pause, and everything is silent. Just when you begin to question if you have come to the right place, or maybe the thing is broken, you hear, in the same booming voice, in your head say, "Sooo beee iiiit!"You than see 8 galvos slowly appear out of thin air. For a visual reference, when they appear, it resembles the transporters, from Star Trek.

Mak grimaced at the sight of the all too familiar foes. He pulled out a potion and drank that then drew his handaxe. Even though he was unfamiliar with the intracacies of it's use Mak hoped that in this very fight his new weapon would give him the advantage he needed. He quickly realized he was way outclassed here and out of his environment. Perhaps he'd serve as a distraction for the more capable fighters.
"All right my friends. No pointy weapons." he said as he prepared to move forward.
OOC: With the DR10/Slashing they have Mak actually does more damage with a handaxe 1d6+4 without any of the advantages of his class. If he were top side he'd have taken the DR penalty and used his bow, so it's probably good you didn't waste a FoM on him.

"All I have is pointy weapons," Wil says sadly but then adds, "they are all magic though." "Best two out of three. That's something I can get behind." He says with a broad smile as he casts Entropic shield on Mak. He stays near the back of the pack to avoid the flying little creatures.
"Casting Sanctuary next, who wants it?" he asks

Rolth breaks into a rage, keeps singing his fight song, and walks over the galvo 7 to take a swing. He reminds folks that we know from before that area of effect spells seem to really hurt these things, and slashing weapons don't work so well.

Kiwina isn't happy. These things again? We can hardly hurt them with piercing weapons, and we can hardly fight underwater with anything else. Not to mention they never seem to miss with an attack and live underwater.
"Rolth, slashing is what did work. It's just hard to do underwater." Kiwina converts his weapon into a glaive and, surrounded by his ghostly relatives, attacks the nearest galvo.
Attacking G2, glaive has reach, hits AC 14 (rolled 16, but should be at -2 slashing underwater) for 13 / 2 = 6 points damage. . . Is it a mistake to stop using his preferred, pointy weapon? Probably not.

The Petals are not surprised by the sudden appearance of the strange eel composed creatures.
Elyas quickly casts Haste on his friends. Mak drinks a potion and draws a handaxe. (What potion?) Wil considers casting Entropic Shield on Mak, but realizes at the last minute that it’s a personal spell so at least he doesn’t waste the spell. Then he asks is anyone wants Sanctuary cast on them, though he knows he will need to move up since it’s a touch spell. He moves up toward Rolth. Rolth reminds his friends about these creatures. He goes into a rage as he sings, and walks over to attack one. His morning star rips though the eel-mass, though many seem unaffected, inflicting 6 damage (DR 10/Slashing). Kiwina corrects Rolth even as he changes his weapon to a slashing glave. His attack misses. Ayotnom casts Shield on himself. Tsak swings at one, shashing the thing several times with his falchon. Only one blow bites into the eels for 11 damage. Falco prepares to heal anyone injured.
Blue crackles of electricity dance across the slithering eels that compose each galvo. They attack.
G1 attacks Tsak, biting him for 7 physical damage and 7 electricity. Then he is slammed by two eel swarm appendages for 7 and 8 physical damage and 8 and 6 electricity.
G2 attacks Tsak, biting him for 5 physical damage and 7 electricity. Then he is slammed by two eel swarm appendages for 9 and 6 physical damage and 9 and 10 electricity.
G3 moves up and attacks Kiwina with a slam attack from 10 feet away, missing the centaur.
G4 and G5 move up to attack Ayotnom, missing.
G6 and G8 both attack Rolth with a slam attack. Hitting him for 9 and 6 physical damage and 6 and 9 electricity.
G7 attacks Rolth, biting him for 5 physical damage and 6 electricity. Then he is slammed by two eel swarm appendages for 6 and 7 physical damage and 8 and 5 electricity.
(Those with Energy Resistance(electricity) should reduce electricity damage (varies by CL), and those with Protection from Energy(electricity) should keep track of total damage against the protection amount after applying resistance if you have both.

Though he hits several times, his piercing weapon seems to have no appreciable effect. (DR 10/Slashing) Rolth realizes his weapon was ineffective and switches to a slashing galve, stepping back as he does so. His swing goes wide. Kiwina slashes at G2 with his galve. He hits once for 5 damage. Tsak stands his ground as his falchon slashes at G2, hitting the thing three times! Mak moves up. Wil casts Sanctuary on Rolth. Elyas backs up and starts summoning some help. Falco (let me know what Falco does and I’ll add it in.)
The Galvo continue to press the attack against the Petals. Blue crackles of electricity dance over them and are transferred to the Petals with each blow.
G1 attacks Tsak, biting him for 9 physical damage and 7 electricity. Then he is slammed by two eel swarm appendages for 9 and 8 physical damage and 4 and 2 electricity.
G2 attacks Tsak, biting him for 9 physical damage and 2 electricity. Then he is slammed by two eel swarm appendages for 9 and 9 physical damage and 4 and 6 electricity.
G3 moves forward 5’ and bites Kiwina 6 physical damage and 7 electricity. Then he is slammed by two eel swarm appendages for 6 and 7 physical damage and 9 and 3 electricity.
G4 moves forward 5’ and bites Ayotnom for 9 physical damage and 6 electricity. Then he is slammed by two eel swarm appendages. The first is a critical hit, but the second is not, for 9 and 6 physical damage and 8 and 9 electricity.
G5 also moves forward 5’ and bites Ayotnom 7 physical damage and 7 electricity. Then he is slammed by two eel swarm appendages for 5 and 9 physical damage and 10 and 8 electricity.
G6 moves forward 5’ to attack Rolth, making his will save (14) against Sanctuary, with two slam attacks from 10’ away. Rolth is hit twice for 4 and 9 physical damage and 6 and 6 electricity.
G8 moves forward 5’ to attack Rolth, making his will save (19) against Sanctuary, with two slam attacks from 10’ away. Rolth is hit twice for 8 and 6 physical damage and 6 and 7 electricity.
G7 attacks Rolth, making his will save (17) against Sanctuary, with two slam attacks from 10’ away. Rolth is hit twice for 7 and 5 physical damage and 8 and 10 electricity.

Rolth hopes that he can hold out one more round, until some reinforcements arrive to hold the line. He makes attacks with his glaive and lunging paw and bite strikes on galvo 7 (Lunge Feat), all while continuing his Inspiring, raging fight song.

The galvo's onslaught is unpleasant, but fortunately is only being attacked by one of them. He continues attacking G2.
Attacks hit AC's 26, 22, and 24 -- one miss -- for 16/2 = 8 and 7/2 = 3 slashing damage.
"Eight of these things is a bit much for us, we already know that fighting them under more favorable conditions. This is a test of strength -- do you think that means combat or that we should try something else like pushing them back?" Kiwina has no illusions that he can push back a mass of swarming eels, but maybe someone else will have a better idea.

Mak moved forward again with a swimming motion as he settled in beside Tsak. With his handaxe he slashed at the nearest Galvo. His handaxe bit into one of the swarming tentacles as he grimmaced in frustration at he and his friends trouble with these creatures.
"This is a challenge of might, not strength, but your idea of pushing them off the pedestal has some merit."

[OOC: I'll be honest, I have no idea if this is going to work, but I am going to try it. I have read over the paragraphs of rules for it a few times and i think i have it... if the galvos are going to line up so nicely it would be a shame not to attempt it.]
Elyas finishes casting his spell, and a large water elemental appears on the south flank of the galvo line. [the elemental will have 84 HP and +4 STR due to Augment Summoning]
the elemental immediately turns into a whirlpool and spins through the galvo line, ending just off of the platform. the galvos are buffeted by the swirling water, and the force of the whirpool tried to drag the creatures along the path of the whirlpool.
The whirlpool is 5 feet wide at the base, and makes a cone to a height of 40 feet up. it is 20 feet wide at the top.
Each Galvo takes Two reflex saves. the first one determines if it takes damage. the second determines if it gets swept away. any galvos that fail the second save will be picked up and suspended inside the whirlpool, taking damage ever round, and more importantly going with it wherever it goes. I don't think it will get to it's volume capacity even if it grabs all of them somehow.
any that get suspended in the whirpool will take another 1d8+7 damage.
As soon as the elemental is on its path, elyas begins summoning again

He hits G2 for 7, 7 and 3 damage. Ayotnom retreats. (Previous 3 points of damage noted below - thanks.) Kiwina hits G2 twice for 8 and 3 damage. The centaur suggest pushing the Galvo off the platform. Falco channels 14 points of healing to his friends. His burst also heals Galvo 4 and 7 as they are in range (looks like Falco does not have the Selective Channeling feat.) Mak moves up near Tsak, suggesting some tactics. His movement provokes an AOO from one which misses. Wil conjures a Spiritual Weapon which misses. (Be sure to let me know whom you are attacking. Remember it takes a move action to move the weapon later.) Elyas finishes his summoning, and a large Water Elemental appears. It quickly transforms into a whirlpool and rips though the Galvo. G3, G7 and G8 are damaged. G1 and G7 are picked up in the whirlpool and moved.
As the water elemental’s whirlpool moves off the platform, a strange thing happens. The two Galvo it held suddenly dissipate into a mass of eels caught in the whirlpool and no longer have a discernible humanoid form. But those eels are still held in the whirlpool.
G5 moves 5’ and attacks Falco. He is bit for 8 points of physical damage and 8 points of electricity damage. Then two slam attacks hit him for 6 and 5 physical damage and 3 and 8 electricity.
G4 moves up 5’ and attacks Rolth with two slam attacks, hitting once for 5 physical damage and 7 electricity.
G8 moves 5’ and attacks Rolth. He is bit for 6 points of physical damage and 8 points of electricity damage. Then two slam attacks hit him for 9 and 6 physical damage and 5 and 2 electricity.
G6 moves 5’ and attacks Rolth. He is bit for 4 points of physical damage and 2 points of electricity damage. Then two slam attacks hit him for 6 and 8 physical damage and 7 and 1 electricity. G3 moves 5’ toward Kiwina and attacks. He is bit for 8 points of physical damage and 7 points of electricity damage. Then two slam attacks hit him for 9 and 6 physical damage and 2 and 4 electricity.
G2 attacks Tsak. He is bit for 9 points of physical damage and 9 points of electricity damage. Then two slam attacks hit him for 4 and 9 physical damage and 8 and 3 electricity.

Rolth is staggered by the series of blows from the galvo, which completely strip away his protection from energy. Reaching deep, he finds the strength to withdraw from the combat, despite his grievous wounds. (Diehard to remain conscious but staggered, losing a HP to use the withdraw action.)

The large water elemental stays in whirlpool form (2nd of 4 rounds).
the creatures inside of the whirpool take damage (just going to roll once, no idea how many eels are in there or what is going to happen to them...) 11 damage
it then comes careening back across the platform, double moving in a path that will connect with each of the 5 galvos on the right side of the area.

Kiwina can't tale a lot of this sort of punishment, and he can take more than most.
If Kiwina is able to push G3 towards position V4 with a bull rush, then he tries that. He spends a hero point, and includes bonuses for the haste, bless, and inspire courage to achieve an attack of 26. If successful, maybe G3 goes off the dais.

Mak struck at the galvo three times with his handaxe, hitting only once, but it was a mighty blow.

(Falco, Tsak and Ayotnom seem to be gone from the map. I placed them as best I could. Please be careful about deleting people from the map.)
Rolth manages to stay upright though his body tells him to lie down. Staggered, he still maintains his inspirational song. Tsak having healed himself last round he snaps at Wil, asking for healing for the party. He takes a defensive posture against the onslaught from the Galvo. Ayotnom moves and draws a weapon. Wil moves back and channels energy, healing his friends for 17 points. He spiritual weapon is not near an opponent to attack. Falco also channels energy, healing friends for 14 damage. Elyas finishes summoning another creature. Kiwina attempts to bullrush one, but fails (CMD 33.) It attacks Kiwina, biting for 8 physical damage and 11 electricity. Mak hits G2 for 20 points!
The water elemental whirlpool kills some of the suspended eels while others wriggle free into the open water. It returns to the platform to again rip through the Galvo. It damages a couple and picks up G2 and G4, and again, as it exits the platform these two suspended Galvo disseminate into a bunch of eels in the whirlpool.
Then the orca bites into G5 for 29 damage.
G3 attacks Kiwina. He is bit for 4 points of physical damage and 6 points of electricity damage. Then two slam attacks hit him for 8 and 9 physical damage and 8 and 4 electricity.
G6 attacks Tsak. He is struck for 7 points of physical damage and 5 points of electricity damage. His defensive posture pays off as he is missed twice.
G5 attacks the orca, biting it for 9 physical damage and 4 points of electricity damage. Then two slam attacks hit him for 9 and 8 physical damage and 6 and 4 electricity.
G8 moves 5’ and attacks Rolth with two slam attacks, hitting him for 5 and 5 physical damage and 11 and 11 electricity.
(Those with energy resistance(electricity) should reduce electricity damage (varies by CL), and those with protection from energy(electricity) should keep track of total damage against the protection amount after applying resistance if you have both.)

Rolth grins in relief as the double wave of healing from Wil and Falco washes over him. He smiles positively menacingly when Elyas gives him resistance to electricity. With a lunging ragey fight song, he lashes out in retaliation at galvo eight, but only lands two blows.

Kiwina has learned that this thing can shock him after all. Still, this seems to be a better chance than using his glaive, so he tries once more to push G3 back to V4 and off the platform.
Summoning up his reserves one more time, Kiwina tries to force the enemy back. (Including another hero point.) He does better this time, but still falls short (32 rolled vs 33 needed).
And if that's not enough, he tries again without the hero point (rolled 18, not enough) to the haste and leaves the DM to decide whether a grapple is an attack for the purposes of that spell.

The whirlpool tactic seems to be working. the elemental comes back around for another pass. there are less galvos to crash through this time, but it still weaves around the Petals to connect with three galvos on its way across the platform and over the far side.
2 DC 21 reflex saves for Galvos 3, 6 and 8 damage for galvo 3 = 12 damage for galvo 6 = 8 damage for galvo 3 = 15
The orca deflects much of the incoming damage from the Galvo due to its celestial nature! (DR 5/evil and resist electricity 10) currently at 84/95 HP It continues to fight #5, now flanking with Ayotnom. 22 to hit, misses.
Elyas moves back to get a better line, then fires two scorching rays at the closest galvo (#5) 20 to hit vs touch AC for 21 fire damage 25 to hit vs touch AC for 9 fire damage

Tsak attacks the Galvo menacing him, hitting it three times. Kiwina heroically tries to shove one off the platform, but the thing manages to slither out of the way. It bites him in retaliation for 6 physical damage and 2 electricity. Ayotnom moves in to attack. This provokes an attack from G5, which misses. Elyas fires two Scorching Rays at G5. He sees the ray hit the swarm-like eel mass, but the effect is almost negligible as it only seems to damage the first eels it hits (no effect from physically damaging targeted spells.) Mak moves, provoking a attack from G6. It misses, but Mak does not, slashing the thing. Falco channels energy, healing friend and foe alike for 11 points. Wil seems to be two places at once (?) as he heals both friend and foe (but not G3) alike for 21 points.
The water elemental whirlpool holds some of the eels from the dissipated Galvo, again killing some of the suspended eels while others wriggle free into the open water. It returns to the platform to once again rip through the Galvo. It damages G6 for 8 points of damage. It also picks up G3, and as it again exits the platform this Galvo disseminates into a bunch of eels in the whirlpool.
Then the orca misses G5.
G5 shifts 5’ to avoid the whale and attacks Ayotnom, missing the minotaur three times.
G6 attacks Tsak. He is bit for 5 points of physical damage and 8 points of electricity damage. Then two slam attacks hit him for 4 and 7 physical damage and 10 and 7 electricity.
G8 attacks Ayotnom. He is bit for 4 points of physical damage and 6 points of electricity damage. One slam attacks hits him for 6 physical damage and 8 electricity.
