"We can hope so Dracky. Not much room to dance here though. I'd prefer a little more open space, but having the healing and spellcasters behind us makes sense."
Torry moves up a few feet and will cast shield to make herself very hard to hit, and will wait for them to come.

Manolo looks outside one more time and will start to move forward with the others with the intent of being able to help or flank if needed.
Mortimer quietly renews his protective magiks and moves up to the front line with Drack and Toryn. He was no stranger to scrapping it out with the melee types. Having so few spell castings left, he may need to put his new, mithril sickle to the test (counts as silvered, without the dulling effect).
When he see's the new, smaller humanoids in the back, he mutters, "Who are they? With no one answering him, Mortimer chooses to address them with the same question.
"Oye!," he shouts as he points to one of them. Who are you? We only have quarrel with the Sahuagin. Are you their captives?"

DM-Ryan: Bath Time - Maps and Art Tuesday May 30th, 2023 10:40:57 AM Drack signals for the others to hold position and let the new arrivals come to them.

Gnubert knows diplomacy will not work and stays behind the front line.
The sahuagin do not move forward to attack though they have what is clearly and attack posture. One of the new, smaller, version of the sahuagin yells

When all heck breaks loose, Mortimer moves forward (5-ft step) to assist Drack with the barbarian. He invokes the power of his cold iron skull ring, that he found in the Wardd's Lucky Basement. His hand crackles with eldritch energies as he reaches out for the barbarian (B1).

He knew from his studies that it was hard to cast underwater, and most times fizzled... but he also knew if it worked it could be devastating. He concentrated before beginning his hand movements and words of power.

Round 3
Drack is not blinded and lays in a powerful blow on barbarian 1. [b[ Torryn [/b] moves forward and misses with two strikes. Loryn takes advantage of the choke point and catches six enemies in glitterdust! {WIll Saves: Dead / 16 / 10/ 10 / 19 / 21} Mortimer connects with frost grasp on the barbarian doing more major damage. Manolo fires his crossbow, above water it would hit, but not here and not firing into melee. {ooc: It is -2 for ever five feet traveled with a ranged attack} Ash further shows the folly of tight groups with a fireball that immediately kills barbarian 1 and damages several others. {Reflex: Dead / 20 / 20 / 11 / 19 / 12} Mole moves to engage with his hammer hitting for decent damage.
Two of the new type of Sajuagin are blinded by the glitterdust but the other are simply glittery. Just as this spell fades a ball of steam engulfs the same group of Sahuagin killing several of the attackers.
The remaining, crispy, barbarian moves to attack Mole while attacking with claws and teeth. {At Mole - Hit: 31/23/16 Damage: 10/9/7/}Y ellow also attacks with its trident but misses pretty badly. {Hit: 11}
The light blue sahuagin swings at Torryn but misses badly with its trident. Dark blue rubs it’s eyes ineffectively surprised at being blind.
Another spell comes from the area of darkness targeting Mortimer this time. {Blindness DC15 Fort} A split second later you see a shape retreating form the darkness back into the cave.
Finally the final combatant also casts a spell, focusing on Torryn, before swimming behind a large rock. {Blindness DC15 Fort}

Mortimer's silvery sickle tastes blood for the first time as it slices into the barbaric sea devil. Most of the barbarian's attacks are deflected but its vicious bite hits spot on!

Trying to take advantage of flanking, Torry will try flurry of blows again on the barbarian. She hits ac 26 and 21 for 6 and 5 damage. If she weren't in the middle of combat, she'd do a little dance, knowing she was kicking butt, and giving Drack a run for his money in the damage department.

Drack hits the barbarian dead on letting more blood into the water while Torryn land two solid hits. Ash move to where he can see the hiding sea devil and puts it to sleep! {Save: 15} Mortimer fails to catch the thrashing barbarian. Manolo lands an attack on the blinded light blue sea devil, as it tries to flee, ending its life. Seeing it dead he repositions and kills the yellow sea-devil as well. Gnubert heals some of Moles wounds as he strikes hitting the blinded barbarian.
The blinded sea-devil realizes it is alone and surrounded as the glitter finally clears from its eyes. It pauses a quarter second to admire how beautiful the glitter on the rest of its body is thinking that it could have been a designer in another life.

The barbarian falls! Well they do not so much fall as kind of float, limply, in the water, with blood around them. It’s kind of nasty really.
The caster sleeps behind the closest rock. They are not a threat but they are there.
In the sudden calm Gnubert calls on a healing channel to close some wounds caused by the sea devils. Looking around, past the sleeping enemy, you can see that the cavern is quite large with multiple large rocks rising up and you can just make out a sunken longboat sitting on the bottom. The cavern is so large that you still cannot take it all in. You can however make out some faint lights in the distance, small lights that look to be leading from the bottom of the cavern up at an angle.
At least you have a moment of respite but there could well be more enemies in a cavern this large that are hidden in the dark.

Loryn moves up and looks about. "I know Ash, all of us are in the same boat I think, but we need to see this all the way to the end Im afraid."
Loryn walks past the rock and pushes the Dancing Lights out further towards the far end of the cavern. He could move them quickly and through them, give a first past across the whole place. At least it would show if anymore are hiding in here, or if there are additional passages. The gnome hoped for not on both cases. "I need a weapon when we get back I suppose, and someone needs to put down that devil there. Mortimer?" Loryn figured he was a good person to ask to do the deed as he had no way of doing it himself.

Mortimer looks around at all the bodies with satisfaction. Before he could speak, he feels the sudden, agonizing sear of healing magics burning like a wildfire through his body. He grits his teeth and bears it. 'The cure is more painful than the wound,' he thinks, 'at least it fades quickly.'"Thanks Gnubert," he says sincerely. He's amazed how well the others take the pain of healing. 'Not a flinch or whimper from any of them.'
To answer Drack, he explains what magic he has left, "Have a few more castings in me, I do. Then all I got is the minor stuff."
When Loryn asks him to finish off the sleeping sea devil, he simply replies, "Sure," then adds, "Someone need ta check over those bodies. Who knows what bits and bobs are on them."
If no one objects, Mortimer swims over to the sleeping sahuagin, takes his sickle and gives it a death blow. If it doesn't work the first time, he will immediately give it a double tap.

Taking a breather the party takes stick of what abilities they have left. The magic is mostly spent but steel is still steel and it tends not to run out at least. The decision to push on comes quickly and it is the only natural thing to do but first the sleeping sea devil must be dealt with and the bodies checked.
Mortimer moves and finishes off the sleeper with a deft strike with the sickle. {ooc: Not dealing with the save, it is pointless.} More blood is released into the water around them as the body drifts a bit in the currents.
One of the barbarians, the last to perish, had a nice shield but it is not magical. On the front of the shield is a small wolves head and inside the words The Loyal Wolf can be seen in small lettering. {Masterwork Heavy Shield} A few gold coins are found as well. {I will total the gold at the end, no need for a bunch of little entries.}
Even with the dancing lights there are still large rocks that block your vision so not all the room ca be seen from the mouth of the passage most of the party is still in.

"We know there is atleast one more creature down here, plus the possibility of more. So let's get this done and be thorough. "
"I'm happy to lead the way." Torryn offered. "I can still call up another Fey shield if necessary and my Fey Armour is still in place. It seems that these Sea Devils aren't very good at dancing." She grinned at the last statement. Clearly there was more than one way to 'dance'.

And then there was one! Mortimer is glad he could dispatch the aquatic magic user quickly and painlessly. 'Everyone should be so lucky,' he thinks. There are worse things than death. 'Much worse things!'

Drack calls for the party to finish this and the suggestion is made to go clockwise around the room. Loryn sends the dancing lights to the middle of the room. As they move the shadows in the dark cavern shift around causing distortions here and there. While underwater can be a place of breathtaking beauty the cave dese not reflect that being simply worn stone.
Drack, Torryn and Mortimer lead the way as the group moves out from around the rock in the mouth of the cave. Much of the cave is still in darkness and/or blocked from view by large rocks. There is no hint of movement but no one feels like the cave is empty at this point. Only Drack can now see the line of faint lights leading from near the bottom up towards the surface of the water.
Drack (Chris J) - hp34/35 - AC 17 Friday June 9th, 2023 10:17:04 AM
Drack points out the light he sees to the others. "We should check that out. Do we want to split into two groups so that we can each go on different sides of these rocks to make sure we see everything? The distance isn't too great to prevent quick assistance if something happens. I can go down the right side while everyone else stays in this pattern. I'm well healed and have plenty of lay hands left should i need them. Loryn?"

"Sure, I'll go left." Agreed Torryn. She then matched her actions to her words and moved to peer around the first of the large pillars of stone - not wanting to be surprised by anything there, before moving on the check out the second pillar. That at least was her thinking. Pleased that she'd actually remembered, Torryn invoked her Sacred dancer ability to Detect the presence of Evil.
Her delight at recalling and actually using this ability was tempered by her clumsy attempts to swim forward. What was it with the whole swimming thing? Just when you thought you'd mastered it, the rules all seemed to change. (Swim:12.)

Loryn suggests that mortimer and Mole check the surface while the rest keep looking. The others move and Mortimer and Mole swim up the thirty foot depth to look above the water. As they move they track the chain of lights to the surface of the water where they find roughly teen feet of stale but breathable air. Floating on the surface of the water is a platform that is just large enough for the four foot cube of a cage that is attached to it. In the cage is the shape of a small humanoid that is either sleeping or unconscious. His clothing is reminiscent of the gnome that came ashore after the attack.
On top of the large rocks more shapes can be seen moving in an unfriendly manner as Sahuagin are silhouetted by the dim light from the cage chain. Several sahuagin leap into the water or stand and grab their tridents spreading out near the top of the water! They give a deep cray that, despite not knowing the language, can only be attack!
Those underwater see figure enter from above AND two sleep shakes move in the darkness towards the group. The unmistakable form of great white sharks can be seen with sahuagin like those that were casting spells riding on their backs!!
Further there is movement back in the dark as though the final remnants of this tribe may be preparing. There are crates from the surface and they move about them.

The sharks shouldn't be able to perceive us at all: sight, sound or smell ... as long as we don't attack the sharks or any other animal. RichP - Is that the case?)
{ooc from Co-GM: That is true though, off the top of my head, I would say an attack on the rider would negate the effect as well. Beyond that it gets wide latitude as a shark is pretty dumb.}
In view of the great evil around her and the sudden swarm of activity, Torryn decided that now was the perfect time to invoke her last spell. She again summoned her Fey Shield. (Now AC:26) She then swam up slightly to confront the nearest creature approaching over the rock. She had her spear ready in case of a charge, but was ready to drop it in favour of using her hands. She was really starting to get the hang of those scything chops and penetrating finger strikes.
(On second thoughts - Torryn stays exactly where she was! Swim 1.)
It was a good plan, but pulling through the water had no effect. She was stuck! At least for the moment. At least she could hold her spear ready.

Round 1
Torryn readies her spear but can change at a moments notice. Drack call out for the group to circle up. Ash manages to make a spark even with wet soggy wool landing the first damage. Loryn tries to follow Drack’s directions and launches an attack that misses by a fair margin. Manolo moves near Drack and loads his crossbow. Gnubert moves closer to Drack calling out some of what resources he has left to call on.
Seeing the party circle up the Sahuagin move to surround the group. There some communication in the unknown tongue and they spread out in groups looking to work together.
The shark riders do not join the others in encircling you,, the sharks move them but keep more distance as the riders cast spells. The first, M1, casts a ray of energy at Drack that sails harmlessly past. {9 vs Touch AC}. The secone, M2, focuses on Mortimer and attempts to blind him. {DC15 Fort}.
Finally the last sea-devil, before leaving the rock, launches its Trident back into the darkness to the east before jumping into the water near one of the shark riders.
{ooc: With everyone in the water were going to be less concerned with depth. Moving to the surface would be of note but assume you can swim over or under most creatures unless noted.}

With the enemy refusing to close, Torryn called forth her Fey Spark. (Ranged Touch. Hits AC:17. Damage:3.) That spark took the form of a coruscating tiny sprite. It leapt unerringly from her hand to lance into (S5) the Sea Devil closest to her leaving a scintillating trail behind it. She could do that again if need be and more than once. Holding their distance would cost them; at least she hoped so.
Fey Spark (actually a lightning ray) used 1/6.

Round 2
Mole begins a chant which reverberates through the water until a quick swirl in the waer developes. {What is this?} Torryn launches another bit of magic as they sea-devils set up. Lorryn casts glitterdust {Saves: 15/6/22} blinding one. Mortimer snipes one of the casters nearly killing it and making his mount aware of his presence! Drack considers using his bow but quickly realizes that it would be pointless unless he was going to stab with an arrow. Gunbert casts sound burst but is really only able to get two targets with it. {Saves: S6 10 SR1: 8} A trident and short sword drift to the bottom of the cave. {ooc: Well done.} Ash holds his spells for the moment. Manolo firsts off a bolt at S6 which hits despite the ten foot of distance underwater.
The shark rider fires back at Mortimer launching purple shards back in his direction. {Magic MIssile:9 Damage} It then directs the shark to relocate though the shark seems to hesitate for a moment.
The second shark rides its mount around the smaller rock formation before launching its own set of purple magic shards at Torryn. {Magic Missile: 10 Damage}
S1, having thrown a trident back into the dark, swims back towards Drack and Mortimer but does not make it close enough to attack. S3 moves and tries to claw Manolo [/’b] while S6 an SR1 float in place for a moment. {Hit: 15}
S4 moves near Ash and Loryn stabs at [b] Ash able to sense his location even if blind. The same blindness causes it to miss. {Hit: 11 Concelement: 60} At the same time S2 moves to the other side and also attacks Ash. {Hit: 16 Dam: 6}
SR2, glittery like a fist grade art project, moves quickly through the water to engage Manolo as well in response to the glitter! {Hit: 16 Dam: 3}
Finally, S5 moves to engage Torryn, not knowing how hard to hit she is. {Hit: 8}

Mortimer was planning on finishing off the caster that attacked him, but it retreated behind the rock like a coward (he would send a single missile to him, if in view.).
Being weary of the attackers nearby, Mortimer takes special care and casts the next spell in a defensive manner. (Casting Defensively: 18, success.) Another volley of shadow bolts streak forward and slam into the other magic user (M1).
(Mortimer casts Shadow Bolts (Defensively) at M1, using a 2nd Level Slot. Damage: 10.)
Mortimer then moves down next to S3, opposite of MANOLO, allowing the rogue a flanking attack. (Swim: 12, quarter movement speed 7.5ft.)

Torryn goes for speed over accuracy. Drack wounds one of the sahuagin. Mortimer hurts the other caster, alerting the second shark to his presence. Loryn moves and casts a magic missile killing a caster AND alerting a shark to his presence. Gnubert holds his spells and looks around. He is sure that there will be more company at some point but it will probably be the last of them. Manolo strikes and kills the flanked sahuagin that is flanked by Mortimer. Ash harasses the blinded seadevil with shocks. Mole’s summoned water elemental slams the sparkling and blinded sahuagin as he casts a spell that holds the shark in place. {ooc: I am not getting into how sharks breath}
Shark 1, mountless, is held in place by Moles magic which does get a glance from some of the sahuagin. S4 and the blind S2 swing at the flanked Ash. {S2 Hit: 13/12 Dam: 3/3} {S4: Hit: 15/23 Concealment: 34/63 Damage: 6}
S5 continues to attack Torryn but suddenly realizes it is pointless and after one swing moves to another target. {Hit: 22 - Take an AOO}
S1, holding no weapon but armed with claws and teeth move to intercept Drack and allow for flanking on Mortimer by someone else. {Hit: 23 Dam: 4}
SR1 is no longer stunned but has no weapons beyond claws which is enough as he moves into flanking with of [/b] Mortimer [/b] and attacks. {Hit: 14 - well poop}
SR2 moves into flanking of Manolo with a flick of his webbed feet and attacks with his short sword. {Hit: 15/26 Damage: 0/10+12 sneak attack}
SR six takes a moment to pick up his weapons and moves to what he think will be a better spot to fight from.
Finally M2 and Shark 2 peak out around the rocks and again cast a spell at Drack targeting his hearing rather than sight this time. {Deafness DC15} He then swims off his mount and orders it to attack!

Mortimer see's the magic user slide off the sharks back and then says something to it in their gibberish language. That can't be good! Then a very wicked thought enters his head ... and its success all depends how stupid these sharks really are.
Firstly Mortimer activates his magical hat ... and suddenly he takes on the form of the sahuagin caster (M2), or a close as he can get. (Disguise: 32)
Mortimer then side steps the two sahuagin, (5ft Step to I0) and begins pointing vigorously at S1 and SR1 in a commanding tone. (Bluff: 19)

(ooc: I forgot to mention the magical hat is a Hat of Disguise.)
Torryn lashed out with a ridge hand chop to the creature as it sought to pull away. This time she struck true and hit with a well-placed blow. (5 damage). However, given that Drack had delivered such a mighty blow, it seemed her effort was largely superfluous. She very much doubted that the Sea Devil would be getting up again any time soon - if ever.
"Who needs help?" She asked. With her Fey Shield in place as well as her Fey Armour, she was again a troublesome target for the enemy. That she couldn't do anything remotely resembling Drack's mighty damage was a fact she hoped the Sahuagin were oblivious of. Still, those protections were yet to be fully tested - by the sharks. They were BIG! And they had a LOT of sharp, pointy teeth. Nonetheless, she believed in her magic and was sure that she'd still be a harder target for those sharks than her friends. She attempted to spot any incoming shark attacks so that she might interpose herself between it and its intended target.

OOC: forgot to say, Manolo attacks the enemy that he can flank, I think it's the same enemy that hurt him.
Gnubert continues to keep watch. More movement can be seen behind Shark2, it may be sahuagin gearing up for battle. Drack puts down another of the normal sahuagin encouraging the group to keep fighting. Mortimer tries a truly ingenious plan and while it doesn’t work as intended it does confuse the shark enough that it pauses for a beat before swimming forward. {ooc: Note in email} Torryn strikes at the same time is Drack so who is to say who got the kill. She then takes care to look for sharks. Gnubert’s attempt to attack is more of a bit of water acrobatics. Loryn [/b hits S2 for decent damage. [b] Ash takes advantage of the disabled killing the blind attacker. How heroic. Manolo is in a battle of the sneak attackers and slashes back at his attacker for substantial damage.
Shark 2 for a moment thinks that Mortimer is one of the sahuagin and pauses just long enough that he is only able to move forward towards the party.
Shark 1 shakes its head having shaken off the spell. {Save: 17}
M2, using the shark for cover, launches some glowing shards at Drack. {Damage: 9}
S1 closes on Mortimer with a five foot swim and attacks with claws and teeth. {Hit: 23/17/6 Dam: 3}
S2 works on Ash with claws and teeth. {Hit: 23/8/16 Damage: 6/2}
S6 moves and attacks the water elemental. {Hit: 12/24/16 Dam: 6/6/3}
Finally the rogues shift their position and attackt to attack the flanked Manolo and unflanked Gnubert. . M2’s short sword flicks twice at Gnubert. {Hit: 31/27 Dam: 6/10} M1 attacks the already bleeding Manolo with claws. {Hit: 22/ Dam: 6 Sneak: 12} It holds after the first attack seeing the results.
Toryn moved forward to confront the Sea Devil attacking Ash. (S2) Swim:15 It was but a short distance from where she was, but she was still gratified to close that distance without difficulty. (Hits AC's 21 & 13. 1 hit. Damage: 1) To her dismay, she could only land a single, glancing blow. Still, she undoubtedly had the creature's attention and could at least thwart any attempts to stab Ash in the back.

A sly smile forms across Mortimer's face. Apparently his ruse has had partial success. He needs to bring this performance home and win over the shark. This kind of sahaigin is known to cast spells, so maybe he can entice the shark with a little bloody motivation.
Mortimer swims back (5ft-Step) and puts S1 between him and the shark. He then makes loud gurgling noises, similar to their own language. He hopes the stupid shark doesn't know the difference. He then casts shadow bolts with his last 2nd level spell slot. One missile targets M2, the other two slam into S1. He hopes it bloodies him up. Enough to attract the shark.
(Mortimer casts Shadow Bolts, aka magic missile, using last 2nd Level spell slot. Damage: M2 = 3. S1 = 5.)

Torryn wanted to help Manolo, but was now engaged in combat and he was just too far for divine ability to heal. However, he was very close to Drack and she knew that Drack could heal far better than she could. No doubt he would hear the cry and intercede - just in time!
OOC: Apologies, I'd entirely missed that Manny was sore sorely stricken. Given Chris' absence I had Drack attack. Mayhap Chris would have acted more defensively and aided Manolo. All I can hope now is that Drack's next action comes off before Manolo's loss of health, but perhaps Manny will make his Fort save and NOT lose any further health :) Equally, Gnubert may save his skin.)

(ooc: I think Manolo may also have a Bleed effect that will deal its damage at the beginning of Manolo’s turn. A heal before his turn is the only thing that will save him. A Cure spell will not only stabilize him, but will end the Bleed effect.)

Mortimer finishes off the last caster and then tags S1 hoping for some blood. Drack further bloodies S1. Ash launches another bolt at S2. Loryn sees Manolo go limp and calls to Gunbert before killing S6. Gnubert hears the call and heals the party, brining Manolo back from the brink and stopping the bleeding. Manolo is only unconscious for a second and has the presence of mind to move to a less perilous position before attacking for minor damage.
The sahuagin are feeling the pressure of the battle as our the heroes from Bearclaw Keep. S2 lashes out at Torryn missing over and over.
S1 closes on Mortimer and keeps attacking. {Hit: 16/22/12 Dam: 6/4/3} SR` seems to have moved on and moves to attack Drack {Hit: 22/21 Dam: 9/6}
SR2 looks for another target that he can flank and spots Mortimer engaging a wounded sahuagin. It moves and attacks with its short sword. {Hit: 32 Confirm: 16 Damage: 11}
Shark 2 really wants to eat Mortimer but there is something in the way, that something is a bloodied S1 which it immediately kills.
Shark 1 again just floats in place thanks to a very effective spell.

There was clearly something in the water. Well, it wasn't that clear, because Torryn couldn't actually see it, but it must be there, because neither she nor the Sea Devil could hit each other! That wasn't quite true though, because her very first thrusting drilling punch did strike home. (AC:16) Torryn was convinced that this was solely due to Drack's divine intervention and not any great skill on her part. As before, it was only a glancing blow. She hoped that the others were faring better than she. At least her defences were holding and judging by the movement and proximity of the shark (1), they would need to be their best.

Mortimer is not liking this spot he's in, between a murderous rogue and a great white shark. He decides to put a little distance and a sahuagin between himself and the shark. He performs an acrobatic feat to avoid any unwanted knifing.
(Acrobatics: 23 vs SR2 CMD, to avoid attacks of opportunity by moving through threatened squares. Moves to X8, the left side of SR2.)
Mortimer decides to take on a more defensive posture, but he still tries to smack SR2 with a spell-like ability.
(Mortimer is now Fighting Defensively, +3 AC/ -4 Hit, because he has 3 ranks in Acrobatics.)
For his attack he attempts to slap the SR2 with his Grave Touch.
(Mortimer casts spell-like ability Grave Touch. Cast Defensively: 17, success. Hit Touch AC: 10-4 = 6. No Save. Target is Shaken with Fear for 2 rounds.)
He then turns to the sahuagin rogue (SR2) and says, "OYE, that big bugger there is comin' for ya!" He points at his fellow sahuagin (S1) currently being chomped on by the great white.

"Huh? What's that, Ash?" Torryn managed to ask as she fought furiously with the Sea Devil before her. She really wasn't sure that she needed anything - other than the skill and ability to actually hit the creature. Strangely, the shark didn't worry her overly. Perhaps it should, but she was entirely focused on defeating her current enemy. Her magic would, she hoped, also protect her against the shark

Round 6
Gnubert looks for enemies, beyond the two sharks, two rogues and the one remaining sahuagin all he sees are shadows. Torryn smacks the remaining sahuagin for a little more damage. Mortimer shows off some serious moves to get out of a flanking position and then touches the rogue causing some damage and shaking its confidence. He yells to the shark as well. Drack heals himself, a little, and misses the rogue. Loryn moves and sends a ray at the rogue engaged with Mortimer scoring a hit. Gnubert heals Manolo for a substantiation amount (21 points). Ash offers advice.
Five enemies are left and the party is nearly tapped on spells, fortunately the last remaining normal sahuagin cannot land an hit.
Shark 1 still floats in place, the magical spell holding him there is very effective against its week mind. {Save: 10}
The shaken rogue continues to attack Mortimer. {Hit: 19/18} While it is hard to read the facial expression it does appear frustrated at its inability to kill a caster.
The other rogue continues to duke it out with Drack. {Hit: 27/20 Dam: 8/8}
Shark two is only really aware of one enemy. It killed an allie last time in an attempt to get to Mortimer but has a clear path now. It flashes though the water, rows of discolored teeth exposed. The jaws snap, just short! {Hit: 11}

At last! Thought Torryn. She'd finally hit her opponent. She'd spotted a small opening in the Sea Devil's defences and managed to send a fist through it. The subsequent hit was satisfying - from her perspective. She doubted that the Sahuagin felt that way. Sadly, her attempted follow-up was woeful and almost caused her to lose her balance.
Hit AC: 19 for 6 damage, then rolled a 1.
Like Drack, she was concerned for Manny. If she could have helped, she would, but also like Drack, she was more than a little preoccupied.

Mortimer could always take a punch ... or kick. He was quite successful in pub brawls. Usually the other combatants would become fatigued from the fight. Their blows didn't seem to have much effect, like kicking a dead horse. It wasn't until they'd start beating him with the furniture, or drawing weapons, that things took a turn for the worse. When things turned sideways, a kind of instinct would take over; untapped experience would float to the surface. This was happening now.
Mortimer draws his dagger in his offhand, and in tandem with his sickle and shield, all his weapons came to his defense. He dodged and blocked each attack from the far more talented rogue. Everything was in slow motion.
Then the shark lunged forward. Mortimer stares into the open maw of this massive, apex predator. There, caught between the second and third rows of serrated teeth, was the lifeless head of the sahuagin it had just consumed. The expression of complete shock was still frozen on its face. Its bottom lip flapped as if it were mumbling. Mortimer finds its final expression quite humorous and lets out a mild chuckle, "Heh!"
Suddenly the shark slams into his shield, its jaws furiously chomping. Mortimer's concentration is temporarily broken as he lets out a, "STONE THE BLOODY CROWS!!" The force slams him back into the wall, but he quickly recovers and readies for the next attack.

Having dispatched her attacker, Torryn spun around and swam to assist Mortimer. (Swim 18)
(I am not sure of the scale, so cannot fully assess the distance. If less than a half move, she'll still get an attack. Plus, she can 'hustle' to close the distance faster. I will add 1 attack only. Disallow if the distance was too great.)
"Here, fishy-fishy!" Torryn called to the shark. It was big. She had no idea what a "great white" was, but she recognised that this 'fish' had a LOT of teeth - big, sharp teeth. She took a deep breath and focusing her efforts, completely failed to hit the shark.
(More 1's. That solves the issue of whether she can attack or not.
"Ugh! This water is so ...watery." she complained at a loss as to how to explain her ineptitude in the strange medium.

Mortimer was planning to flip around to the other side of the rogue, but Torynn and Loryn starting attacking the shark and he wasn't going to leave them alone with it. Though he does have something to say to the rogue...
"Help ain't comin'! We killed them already!"

Mortimer moves over into the rogues old spot (5ft-Step, Swim: 14) and attempts to use his Grave Touch again. However this time he loses his concentration (Concentration: 12, natural 1) and the spell fizzles. At least for now, Torynn can easily move into a flanking position (+2 Hit) If he can keep the shark looking in his direction, he won't turn on the others.

Round 8
Torryn, having disposed of the sahuagin, moves and misses the shark. A frustrated Loryn hits a shark, 2 as his friends call him, with some acid. Mortimer gets some distance from the rogue but fails to cast a spell. Drack moves so he is flanking a shark and a rogue who are now also flanking him, and misses. [b Ash [/b] thanks Gnubert and swims closer to the action. Manolo is back in his preferred, flanking, position but misses. Gnubert smiles and holds his position.
Rogue 1 smiles at Drack’s positioning and unleashes two claw attacks at the paladin which they are now flanking.. {Hit: 18/22 Damage: 6/4 Sneak Damage: 15/12 Bleed: 3}
Shark 2 reacts to Torryn’s miss, spins and bites at her. {Hit: 16}
The rogue, called two by his friends, moves to flank Torryn and attacks with a short sword. {Hit: 17}
Shark 1 finally shakes its head and starts to move, locking its unnerving, unthinking eyes on Mole.

The creature that had tried to hit her was in a most advantageous position - for him. That certainly wasn't the case for Torryn. She backed up. it was a small movement (5' step: no AOO), but one that deprived that particularly Sea Devil of sneaking up on her blindside or getting her stuck between two adversaries. She drew closer to Mortimer and the rock wall, knowing that such positioning would restrict her assailants' options. Now if only she could remember her forms properly and actually hit something!
No, was the answer.
It was sinking home that she was plainly not the fighter that she thought she was. She could only hope that it didn't cost one of her friends their life. She tried to settle herself and focus, but it was difficult with the massive shark intent on chomping her to pieces. So many teeth!

Mortimer grows frustrated after his failure to cast one of his simplest spell-like abilities (that doesn't require verbal, somatic or material components). He gives it another try. This time a black, gloomy aura envelops his hand.

Mortimer connects and the Shark, for the first time in its life, becomes shaken with fear of the grave. He hopes this new sensation has startling results.

Ash was out of spells, and didn't believe in mundane weapons.. that left one choice. Himself. Ash throws himself at sr2 and begins grappling the sahugain rogue. (Cmb roll is 11, I don't know his cmd, but I am guessing thats not enough)
Drack (Chris J) - hp -2/35 - AC 17 Thursday June 22nd, 2023 11:23:00 AM
As the rogues blades rip deep into his body, Drack realizes he made a major tactical error. While trying to flank the rogue, he let the rogue flank him. One of the first lessons he had learned as a student of war, and one that he had neglected in his haste to finish things.
His eyes go wide as the blades go deeper, "I'm sorry Domi" is the last thing that utters from his lips as his eyes go blank. His body begins to float lifelessly, his blood moving through the water like a fog in the morning hours.

Gnubert sees Drack float and a lump develops in his throat. Gnubert watches as Mole stabilizes Drack, and double moves to end up behind paladin. "Drack just hold on buddy. It's coming I swear! By all the Gods I swear!" Gnubert looks around aware he isn't in the best position defensively but in the best position for healing in just a moment

Round 9
Torryn continues to be frustrated by the gods of combat. Mortimer gets it together and the chill of the grave passes through the shark affectionately known as 2. Ash attempts to grapple rogue 2 but it is like trying to grab a fish in water, futile. Drack apologies to Domi as he slips into unconsciousness. Loryn fires a ray of acid that misses, he feels confident it would have it the shark however. Mole insurers that Drack will not die, at least not from his current wounds. Gnubert moves closer to Drack but slightly out of reach. {ooc: He stops short so he could cast a spell and then move to touch if necessary.} Manolo continues attacking while yelling for Drack to be healed.
Shark number 2 is in a pure blood furry at this point, caused but the cloud of blood around Drack. It turns again snaps at Mortimer. {Hit: 13} Again its jaws miss.
Round 1 swings at the closes targets aiming once claw at Manolo {Hit: 25 Dam: 4} and one at the elemental despite it just sitting idle so much. {Hit: 27 Dam: 4}
Rogue 2 swims back behind Loryn and Mole, opening itself to attacks, and swings once at Mole with a short sword. {Hit: 26 Dam: 8}
From the dark of the cave more sahuagin appear. They are armed and stream towards the party!!!!!!!! Four normal sahuagin warriors, one the female who was injured earlier a move fast lead by one of the casters. The loop around behind the party the caster moving directly to the legendary shark 1. With them are two of the smaller young sahuagin.

Ash stops to look at the newcomers. "Don't worry about them, they're fleeing. "
He tried to grab the sahugain again, but the creature is too slippery.
Mortimer notices nothing but a huge shark in front of him ... and Torryn off to the side. So he attempts to be dodgy, like before, and move into a flanking position.
(Acrobatics: 20, to move through threatened squares and avoid AoO. I swear the dice hates me.)
Mortimer them defensively casts Grave Touch again and slaps the shark across his face.

Gnubert converts his last 3rd level spell to a cure serious cast it before swimming to Drack and touching his friend healing him for 20 points. "That should work for the moment! More enemy coming but it looks as though they are leaving"
Torryn quickly looked across. The movement had caught her attention. (Perception:29. What a time to get a 20). Equipped as the Sahuagin were, Torryn was inclined to believe Ash's assessment: they were leaving! She immediately turned her attention back to the massive shark that was currently seeking to menace Mortimer with extreme prejudice. Her first thrust missed woefully. Again! Gritting her teeth in frustration she tried again. The heel of her left palm slammed into its flank. (Confirmed critical!)
"Hya!" She cried with the effort. (Damage:10 That had most certainly garnered its attention, or would have had not the creature been so spooked by the strange magic that Mortimer had called forth.
"How's Dracky?" She asked in concern whilst not taking her eyes off the shark. There had been a LOT of blood in the water around him. She felt almost guilty. Her own magic had protected her impeccably. No blows had landed. In a way though, that didn't surprise. Her own inability to hit anything testified to the difficulty of fighting in water. Clearly, even the experts had some trouble.
Drack (Chris J) - hp 26/35 - AC 17 2d6=8 ; Friday June 23rd, 2023 12:09:26 PM
Floating lifelessly for a few moments, Drack sees a light, and begins to move towards it. As he does, he hears a powerful and commanding voice declare "Your job is not done. Go back." he then finds himself conscious again, with Gnubert near him.
"Thanks Gnubert."
Drack swiftly lays hands on himself to continue the healing for 8 more. He then takes a 5' step out of the flank, denying the rogue the chance to do it again. Assuming he dropped his sword when he died, he will pull his backup Elven curved sword. It wasn't magical, but it would do the trick.(if pulling another weapon invokes an attack of opportunity, he will forego that, and just move the 5')
"I don't care if the rest flee. This one is not going anywhere if i can help it. We have unfinished business."

Round 10
Ash lets the group know to not worry about the new arrivals. Mortimer fails to get into a flanking position but does manage to frighten the shark. Gnubert patches up Drack further. Torryn lands a solid hit on the frighten shark. Drack sputters back to life and draws a new weapon. Loryn gets some distance and fires a ray at the frightened shark nearly killing it. Mole moves into a defensive position with Loryn.
The large and bloody shark 2 does something an eating maching like itself rarely does, it knows flees. Deep fear that causes it to run from these dangerous predators.
Rogue 1, seeing the shark flee, looks for its partner and moves over toward Mole, Loryn and Ash. He swings with claws once at Loryn. {Hit: 14 Dam: 3}
Roge 2 sees his opening and movies to flank Mole swinging with its short sword twice. {HIt: 29/13 Dam: 9 + Sneak 11 + Bleed 3}
The other group flees with shark 1 and the caster waiting to insure everyone is out. At the last moment one of the littlest of the sahuagin revers course and starts to swim back. The cast yells something unintelligible and casts darkness on the little one!

Torryn quickly moved the short distance forward to aid Mole. Hoping that the short, circular drilling punches would cut through the water with ease, she attempted to strike the nasty Sea Devil (SR2) It seemed that she was getting slowly used to this strange element, because her targeting was much improved. her first punch narrowly missed (AC:21). The second struck true! (AC:24) The damage though was minimal. Torryn simply didn't have the muscle that Drack possessed. Still, she had hit and shown it that it wasn't impervious to harm - even from a little, unarmed Fey.
