DM RobC - Smoke on the water d20+18=33 ; Monday October 6th, 2014 5:38:09 AM OOC: A big round of applause for guest DM Cayzle for playing the role of Ga'al so well :)
The party take a few moments to regather their wits (and half-wits). In the presence of the God of Domination, they were on quite good behaviour. Though none seem alarmed that Ga'al himself has taken notice of the group, nor that they are to be involved in a battle between two deities. All in a day's work for this party!
Terser goes to check on the fallen sahuagin. Their bodies are cool to the touch, though that could be normal for them. They have no items to speak of, save for the open red robes they each wear.
Zeoll is a little more cautious - or perhaps fearful? He wants to make absolutely sure that there are no living heartseeds nearby. The wounds on the chests of the dead sahuagin show the tracts that the heartseeds would have made as they bonded with these devotees. The ceremony that brought Ga'al here looks to have consumed the heartseeds that were torn from the once living bodies. Not a heartseed (or portion thereof) can be seen anywhere.
Magana seeks Gargul's divine aid to help her through this traumatic event.
Sam can't wait until this is over!
Jozhur and Coer - despite being shaken - are worried that Billoopl could be on their way. If they weren't already here of course. Ga'als entrance (and departure) was certainly grand.
The group continue with the task of embalming the dead with seaweed - sahuagin and fey alike - and returning them to the ocean. Gargul himself would be pleased with the respect shown to these dead.
It takes some time, but the job is eventually done. Zeoll keeps watch over the seas, whilst Jozhur keeps watch on the rear. The skies have returned to their natural blue, and the birds have well and truly returned to the area.
Any shaken/cowering effect has now expired
How long will the peace last? How long will it take for Billoopl to send an envoy? Judging by the smoke rising from the north east, probably not long!
Jozhur is the first to notice the dark grey smoke rising from the other side of the hamlet. He can't pinpoint exactly where the smoke is coming from other than 'north east'.

The star is where the party currently stand. The pier/dock is about 800ft to the east.
DM RobC - Smoke on the water Monday October 6th, 2014 12:04:41 PM OOC:
In answer to a couple of questions from the group...
- I can't speak officially on this, but I pronounce Billoopl as "Bill-oo-pull" - Loot aware players should note that the red robes do not have any magical auras :)
Magana (Craig) [HP 81 of 81] [DR 1/-] Monday October 6th, 2014 1:29:37 PM
Once Magana recovers, she helps with bodies of the fallen sahuagin. Perhaps a little maliciously, she says a brief prayer to Gargul over their bodies. The really did not appreciate Ga'al's affect on her and considers it to be an intentional attack since He could clearly control it when he wanted to.
(ooc: :P to Ga'al )

(perception 18 ; knowledge nature 12)
"Time to do some scouting I believe", Aex says now that she has come to her senses again. For the last time this day, she changes shape into her beloved Air Elemental and takes to the sky...
She'll carefully fly over the town towards the grey smoke Jozhur pointed out... (stealth 11 - nat 1) ... As she flies towards the smoke one of the robes sticks to her elemental feet...
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP 43 of 45) d6=3 ; d6=2 ; Monday October 6th, 2014 5:06:25 PM
"Wait! Aexana!"
Zeoll worries that the smoke betokens a coming danger. Since he is wounded, he Channels Energy to heal himself -- AND ANYONE ELSE NEARBY -- especially Aex and Sam. The holy symbols carved onto Zeoll's tower shield glow and radiate healing power.
Rolls: 3 hp cured plus 2 hp cured = 5 cured total with two channels.
Zeoll suggests moving 200 ft or so northwest into the trees for cover until we know what we are facing.
Zeoll also casts Mage Armor on Coer.

"Zeoll is right, we should probably hide and see what comes."
Jozhur looks for a place to hide in the vegetation Zeoll pointed to and starts making his way there, hoping the others will follow.
--------- Stealth: 29 Perception: 13
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 14 -- HP 48/48 Tuesday October 7th, 2014 2:38:07 AM
Sam instantly feels revitalized as the healing energy washes over him. He is clearly annoyed at the group's disinterest in moving forward. With plenty of small houses to cover their advance, he sees no harm in checking things out.
"I have no problem feeling this situation out, but I'd rather we sneak up on whatever is going on out there. If there are those in need of our help immediately, maybe we'll be able to lend a hand. If the enemy is too numerous or strong, we can at least observe their activities."
DM RobC - Smoke on the water d20+18=27 ; Tuesday October 7th, 2014 5:58:18 AM
As Aex transforms into an air elemental, Zeoll realises what the gnome is about to do. He channels two bursts of healing energy, concentrating on both gnomes.
Magana finishes with the sahuagin bodies and says a prayer to Gargul - rather than Ga'al - on their behalf. Fear isn't something minotaurs are used to feeling, and it was a confronting experience for her.
Aex takes to the air for some scouting, whilst Jozhur and Zeoll are convinced that now would be a good time to hide.
Jozhur starts to very quietly make towards the nearest tree line.
Sam is conflicted however. There could be people who need help. Hiding in the trees does not seem productive.
Air-Aex starts to fly off to the north-east, whilst Jozhur starts to slowly creep north-west.
Aex - Please check your email :)
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP 43 of 45) Tuesday October 7th, 2014 6:23:13 AM
Zeoll runs after Jozhur, and maybe passes him. The old Liontaur with the tower shield has little chance to stealth, so he just flat out runs 160 ft this round, and hustles or runs as needed next round to get to the treeline and take cover.
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 14 -- HP 48/48 d20+8=23 ; Tuesday October 7th, 2014 12:53:25 PM
As others seem to be bent on hiding, Sam reluctantly joins them. He looks towards the houses from the tree line to determine the structure's style and find any distinguishing markings. He uses the collected information to summize what people might be living there. (Perception=23/Know: local=auto 21).
(StevenVdB) Aexana HP 42/54 - AC20/18/15 - +4 vs Giant - CMD 19 - +1 vs Lizards & Goblinoids d20=8 ; Tuesday October 7th, 2014 1:57:44 PM
Aex doesn't want to attract any unwanted attention and even if she would want to... No one speaks Auran... so she flies a bit lower and lands near the center of the town hoping to help............ before that from the other side of town reaches this place....
With but a strength 10 she will hopefully be strong enough (STR check 8)
Magana (Craig) [HP 81 of 81] [DR 1/-] Tuesday October 7th, 2014 4:13:38 PM
Magana shrugs as everyone scatters, and decides she might as well attract any unwanted attention to herself, relying on her comrades as the element of surprise. She starts jogging to the north east, 40 feet from the tree line to investigate the smoke.
Coerator (Mark) AC17/16/14 -- CMD 23 -- HP 80/80 (Ki 7/7) Tuesday October 7th, 2014 7:16:46 PM
Coer finds himself alone on the sand watching the smoke rise to the North east. He follows and sprints after his shipmates. Stay close he yells out to them grumpily, we dont know what lies beyond the tree line
Snafu (Jeff L) - link on the way Wednesday October 8th, 2014 1:14:14 AM
"Oooch" a bothered voice called from the rubble. "Don't pull that Mojo. Pull my finger instead and I'll show you another way to cast a stinking cloud!"
"I didn't pull you" a weaker voice responded. "I'm just laying here, is all."
"Something pulled me" the first voice said. "And if it's hungry I hope it prefers Mephit to Elf."
"Mephit tastes too salty. Elf is delicious, I hear."
"This elf is too scrawny. Say, why don't you say 'hi'? It might be friendly."
"Okay... Umm... Hi?" The weaker voice called out hopefully from underneath the rubble.
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 55/55 d20+9=20 ; Wednesday October 8th, 2014 1:33:39 AM
Jozhur attempts to sneak along parallel to Magana, trying to keep up.
---------------- Stealth with -5 penalty to move faster: 20
DM RobC - Whoever shall pull this leg from the stone... Wednesday October 8th, 2014 5:30:39 AM
And so the party start to split up...
Zeoll, Sam, Terser, & Coer
Zeoll runs flat out for the tree line. He suspects he will overtake Jozhur, and is no doubt surprised with the rogue makes a sudden turn FROM the tree line TOWARDS the town and buildings.
Sam reluctantly follows Zeoll, but is not at all able to keep pace with a running linotaur. The bard looks over his shoulders back towards the town. Based on his knowledge of such things, the town would have played host to numerous small families. The lack of fields or flocks would suggest they made their living in other ways. Fishing would likely be the primary source of income and trade.
Terser stays close to his companions side.
Coer brings up the rear. For all the group knows there could be greater danger in the trees, and that is something the Captain does not want to have to worry about right now.
Jozhur & Magana
Jozhur and Magana make their way towards the nearer buildings. Magana has decided that she is happy to act as bait to whatever may be coming, and trusts that the group will spring the trap when ready.
Jozhur tries to act a little more stealthily.
From this distance they can see Aex about 200ft away. She's in air elemental form, beside a building whose roof has collapsed. Her elemental arms are tugging at something, but she doesn't look to be having any success pulling it out. What's weird is that when she lets go of the 'thing' it continues moving on its own.
The smoke is not coming from that building, but more from the north-east. Likely a different building.
Aexana, Sanfu, & Mojo
Air-Aex swoops down and grabs the flailing limb. Yep, that would be a leg. She tugs on it with all the strength a small air elemental can muster, which is to say: not a lot. Whatever it belongs to is alive however, and Aex can even hear it having a conversation with itself before she hears a tiny greeting of "Hi?". Since 'it' is alive, dragging 'it' out with force may cause some damage to whatever 'it' is.
Snafu for his part feels something grab hold of his ankle and give a good tug. It's not enough to pry him from the rubble, but enough to let him know 'something' is there. At last it wasn't anything with sharp teeth.
-------------------------- OOC: Folks, please welcome JeffL to the game! Of course, whether he lives to make another post or two will be up to you guys :)
Jeff L Snafu Wednesday October 8th, 2014 8:45:01 AM
"Yow! Hey, if you break it, you'll have to pay for it!" Snafu said from under the rubble as his leg was yanked. "Seriously, there is someone attached to that skinny thing you are pulling. I'd like them to stay attached, if at all possible."
"Snafu the so-so, at your service. And this creature being pinned under the rubble with me is my companion Mojo. Now please, for the sake of manners, please imagine us bowing."
OOC: great to be aboard!
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP 43 of 45) d20+20=21 ; Wednesday October 8th, 2014 10:08:36 AM
Zeoll, an old liontaur with a grey mane and carrying a huge honking darkwood tower shield, finishes his move to get into the cover of the trees. He recalls that in other times in his career, he had access to Message spells, and he wishes he could cast one now! That would sure be handy with the group splitting up like this.
His orange, yellow, and red clothes might help him blend in were he in a deciduous forest in the autumn, but it serves him poorly now amid the greenery. Maybe he is relying on his ability to go briefly invisible, should actual danger threaten the elderly caster. Still, he takes what cover he can and then peers out from the trees, trying to see and hear whatever there is to see and hear.
Perception (still at +1 with MinoTaur's Try) 21
Well, anyway, it does this cleric of Queen Maab good to be standing among her trees. He briefly envies Aexana her ability to commune with plants. Maybe someday he will gain that ability as well, Eberyon willing.

Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 78/78 (raging AC 20, 92 hp)] Wednesday October 8th, 2014 11:10:42 AM OOC: Sorry for the missed post, had a crazy catch up day yesterday and the tab got lost amid other things.
Terser is perhaps as opposite from Zeoll and Aexana as is possible among these trees. The presence of so much living greenery around him is less than homey for one who grew up surrounded by stone and adventured most in open spaces. Still, any warrior knows the value of cover, and he does his best to keep up as Zeoll and Coer chug along, mindless of their inherent speed. He is ever mindful not to outpace Sam either.
Care for a dwarfy-back ride, good buddy?
Magana (Craig) [HP 81 of 81] [DR 1/-] Wednesday October 8th, 2014 1:56:18 PM
Magana alters her path and quickly closes on Aexana's locale and sees that she has located a survivor. Eager to interrogate a witness to the town's destruction, she immediately sets to freeing it/them from the rubble.
Magana (Craig) [HP 81 of 81] [DR 1/-] Wednesday October 8th, 2014 1:58:46 PM
She says to Aexana, "Watch my back while I free them, little one."

Aexana nods and hold her elemental thumb and index finger together. Then with her other elemental hand she holds two fingers close to her eye and then points into the directions of whatever is on their way... immediately followed with a hand pointing at Magana and this new dude, and then towards the trees where the rest is.
So hoping the taur will be clever enough to figure out what she wanted to make clear, Aex-air cautiously hovers higher and higher... just high enough to catch a glimpse of the smoke and the distance there still is between them...

Realizing how split up the party is, Jozhur tries to find a place nearby where he can keep an eye on everyone, preferably a slightly elevated position. He will climb onto a roof or rubble if he has to.

Coer watches Magana turn and stop by Aex. He too alters course and pulls up by them.
"What have you found. Is it out Engev's missing 'brother'?"
DM RobC - Seaspawn Combat - Round 1 Thursday October 9th, 2014 7:54:10 AM Note: Everyone should have been awarded 6000xp for the battle with the birds and encounter with Ga'al
Zeoll, Sam and Terser keep watch by the tree line.
Jozhur climbs to the top of a nearby building to keep an eye on both groups.
Aex, Magana and Coer set to freeing the survivor from the rubble. What emerges is in fact TWO survivors: a skinny male elf with silvery hair and, of all things, a dust mephit.
Aex signals something to Coer and Magana, but neither of the taurs seem to understand what she is trying to say. Her gestures get more frantic, until they are no longer needed.
In the time that it has taken to unearth the elf and his companion, the seaspawn the Aex had spied earlier (and who had spied her) have come into view.
The seaspawn look almost identical to those the party fought in Gullport, carrying rusty rapiers. Accompanying them are some form of humanoid monstrosities covered in rock, coral and bits of plant life. All look to be converging (running) towards Coer, Magana, Snafu, Mojo and Aexana.
Apparently it didn't take long for Billoopl to gather his forces in this town.

"I appreciate the help big fella" Snafu said as he dust himself off. He also brushed off his mephit friend, but despite his best efforts, dust remained.
Snafu wasn't much to look at. He was thin and somewhat frail looking, though his face did exclude some confidence and strength. His travellers clothes had seen better days.
"I thought we were lost" he explained. "We were bedridden when the town came under attack. They came from the sea. The townspeople tried to whip together a quick defense but they were overrun. And in the fray this building came down onto of us, which, as it turns out, may have saved our lives."
Just then Snafu caught sight of the sea spawn on the horizon, and his friendly face washed away under a darker fury. It was them! They did this, and punishment for their crime will be swift and very suitable!"
And then the elf began casting. Suddenly six images of himself and six images of his mephit friend appeared. The battlefield was becoming very crowded.

[Question for Rob: I'm assuming the green area is forest and offers cover (or partial cover?) and counts as difficult terrain? How about the tan areas? Is that grass or sand or dirt? What happens if you cast entangle on it?]
Zeoll thinks to himself, "Are those seaspawn "persons"? Can I cast Hold Person on one of them?"
He also tries to figure out what those coral-golems are ... Know Nature 26, Know Arcana 24. Wowsy, die roller loves me today!
And he keeps his eyes and ears peeled in case there are any surprises about ... Perception 24.
[All above is free action.]
Zeoll decides to call on the fey for help! He loses a prepared Calm Emotions spell in order to cast Summon Fey Friend II.
He also tries to stay hidden in the trees: Stealth 12 (Nat 20! First roll made in the die roller field.), plus there's the stock -1 per 10 ft of intervening space, which given this map, may keep him hidden even though his spellcasting voice is not quiet!

"Too many for just the 3 of us... perhaps this skinny fellow can help..." But then suddenly there are 6 of him!!
"Nice! " Aex says in auran for most likely no one to understand.

Aex initiates combat with a potent spell: Ice Storm. She places it where she believes she can do the most damage, englufing two seaspawn and one abomination (Aex: Please roll to beat SR16. This will determine how/if the enemy are affected)
Snafu immediately goes defensive, casting Mirror Image - with great success. He shares the effect with his dust mephit, Mojo.
Magana unleashes a simple yet effective war cry "BATTLE!" and moves to intercept the enemy. Finally something to smash! Her rage builds.
Terser will not be left behind. Not when the glory of battle presents itself! He ducks his head and runs as fast as his dwarven feet will take him towards the fight.
Sam stays close behind (FYI - You only get a free 5ft move if you don't take any other movement in the round). He could keep pace with Terser but wants to keep his defences on the ready.
Jozhur moves to the other side of the rooftop, and drawing his bow, targets one of the visible seaspawn. It's a long shot, but his accuracy is up to the task. (Hit S3. S2 is in Aex's Ice Storm and I'm not sure if that gives any sort of cover or not, so for simplicity, you hit S3 outright :) )
Zeoll believes he knows what the creatures are that are attacking his friends, and begins summoning a fey friend for assistance. It will appear at the start of the next round. He stays nicely hidden during his casting. Zeoll watches the enemy carefully. They don't appear to have noticed him - even as he speaks the arcane words to cast his spell. Only when he begins to move his arms does he notice the head of one of the seaspawn turn in his direction
Zeoll Highlight to display spoiler: {Your knowledge of seaspawn is growing. You now believe they possess an extraordinary ability. Keen Sight: Seaspawn can spot a moving object or creature, even if it is invisible or ethereal. Only by remaining perfectly still can such objects or creatures avoid their notice.}
As for Hold Person, Zeoll is confident the seaspawns are humanoid beings. 'Person' or 'People' probably wouldn't be a term many would use to describe them, but they are humanoid.
Coer grumbles something, and gets his mini-ballista ready for action.
The enemy act...
S1 moves around the outskirts of the ice storm and bears directly for Magana (Move to AT23).
S3 heads around the building, and spies its nearest targer: Magana (Move to AS23). Magana notes this seaspawn is wielding a sword, rather than the trademark rapier.
S4 makes its way out of the ice and slowly towards Magana (Move to AW17). Now closer, Magana can see this seaspawn carries a trident.
C1 sees a tasty gnome emerge from the trees. It turns and runs at full speed towards Sam! (Run in a straigh line to AB24)
C2 and C3 make their way closer to combat (Move to AV20 and BC23 respectively)
C4 boldy walks towards Magana. The minotaur unleashes her flail and hits it directly, but remarkably no damage looks to have been done. The creature returns fire with a sharp slash at Magana's chest.

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP 43 of 45) d10=9 ; Friday October 10th, 2014 6:44:49 AM
Zeoll's prayer is answered, and the Good Lord Eberyon sends a Unicorn to aid his loyal Cradled follower, Zeoll! [OOC: Rolled a 9 for the spell]
Zeoll mentally directs the summoned creature to appear at P24. From there, the large creature can charge enemy C1, ending its charge at Z-AA-23-24 or thereabouts and attacking the monster at +10 for 2d8+8 ... unless the kindly DM has it act in some other way!
==========
The old liontaur catches on to the fact that the seaspawn can see hidden things. So he abandons stealth and calls out in what was once a trained bard's voice -- although ruined now with the effects of age -- "Those arre Corrral Golems! They arre immune to most magic! They are rreally harrd to damage!"
Zeoll thinks that maybe nonmagical fire and alchemical substances would be good things to use against these monsters.
Zeoll casts a true strike spell and draws a vial of alchemical fire as he moves 40 feet to the east, to O-P-23-24.

Terser draws up short seeing the golem charging at Sam. He has the presence of mind to listen to Zeoll's bellowing as well. Hard to damage, you say? I guess it's time to give my new gift a try.
Turning around to intercept, he runs back at the coral creature, nimbly ducking out of its flailing claws.Acrobatics 18 to avoid AOO - Half move of 15 takes Terser to space AC25
Abandoning his normal weapon for the moment, Terser punches the golem with the silvery gloves that he's been wearing since he came back from the Bursting Backpack.

He glances around from the rooftop before leaping as far as he can to the northwest, looking to close on the enemy.

Zeoll's prayers are answered in the form of a unicorn. Once more the majestic creature makes itself known to the crew of the Lionfish.
The unicorn immediately charges - horn first - at the nearest enemy. It's attack is true, however the damage is minimal (Hit AC29 for 13pts dmg)
Zeoll reveals himself from the cover of the trees, and calls to the others the true nature of these abominations: Coral Golems. Sturdy constructs from the deep. He casts a Truestrike spell in preparation for throwing a vial of alchemical contents in the immediate future. Hopefully avoiding the graceful unicorn he just called to the battle.
Snafu and Mojo edge closer to the fray. Snafu has only seen these seafolk in combat once before. He can tell they are horrendously ugly, to the point where one might have difficulty looking at them whilst attacking. He confirms Zeoll's belief that the rocky constructs are in fact coral golems. Medium sized though, unlike the recorded large variety.
He casts a powerful spell - Black Tentacles - and catches two foes in the area. Unfortunately the grasp of the tentacles is weak this round, and they fail to snare either opponent!
Terser's attention to drawn back to the golem that has managed to circle behind him. How dare it look to threaten Sam! The dwarf decides now is the time to try out his adamantine glove, and it works wonderfully! In this position, both Terser and the Unicorn flank the coral golem.
Aex throws her elemental arms to the heavens and rains lightning down upon the enemy. Let's see how they handle that! (OOC: You didn't specify a target, so I'll assume you meant one of the seaspawn. Especially since the golems would be immune to it). Unfortunately despite the lightning from above, the seaspawn does not appear to be damaged at all by the attack! Perhaps a bigger lightning bolt is needed.
In his position to see the attack, the knowledgeable Snafu suspects the seaspawn has some natural ability to resist small amounts of electricity.
Coer's attack with the crossbow does not meet the expectations he had for it. Here he was picturing impaling giants, and all this thing can do is shoot wide. He might have to spend some time adjusting the sights later. For now, his best bet is to rely on his fists. Coer drops the crossbow and marches on the puny creatures.
Sam is seriously surprised by the speed the golem advanced upon him. He commences singing a tune to inspire his friends, whilst also taking the opportunity to go invisible. What better way to avoid attack than to make himself very scarce. He invisibly steps away from the golem, but keeps singing his tune.
Jozhur's shot with a bow in unequalled in this group, as he pierces the skin of the seaspawn in his sight. Perhaps the damage was not sufficient, as the rogue jumps from the building to get closer to the action.
Magana is in her element. Finally face to face combat! Perhaps Gargul will welcome her to his chest this evening? But not before she sends these abominations to meet him. Her flail swings true, hitting seaspawn after seaspawn. She does try to follow this up with a horn attack, but misses the golem before her.
The enemy act...
Seaspawn 1 jabs at Magana with his rapier. Between her rage and cleave attack, her defences are weakened and she feels the sharp sting of the weapon (Hit AC27. Crit Confirmed on a 16. Magana takes 13pts damage + 11pts sneak attack damage!)
Seaspawn 2 brings his flail down on Magana's hide, but the damage is relatively minimal (Hit AC16. Magana takes 6pts damage + 7pts sneak attack damage!)
Seaspawn 3 and Golem 4 each take 5ft steps to flank Magana. (S3 5ft south to AS24. C4 5ft SE to AV24)
Seaspawn 3 then stabs his sword at Magana's exposed ribs, however the attack lacks strength (Hit AC27. Magana takes 3pts damage + 5pts sneak attack damage!
Seaspawn 4 sees it's path now blocked by a field of writhing tentacles. Free of their grasp, it back-peddles and makes it's way around the building (Move around the building to AQ15)
Coral Golem 1 raises it's sharp, rocky fists in the air and brings them down with fury upon the Unicorn (Hit AC25 & AC37. Crit Confirmed with AC38. 43damage + Bleed to the unicorn). The beautiful creature that once stood on the field is magically sent back to the Wold's cradle. Terser can breathe a sigh of relief that the Golem targeted the first creature that struck it (ie: not him this time!)
Coral Golem 2 makes its way through the Black Tentacle field to get close enough to strike at Magana. She feels the familiar sting of sharp claws (Hit AC25. Magana takes 16 damage + 4 bleed)
Coral Golem 3 isn't interested in Magana, and starts heading towards the casters (Move to AU27)
Coral Golem 4 delivers a backhand that sends Magana to her knees (Hit AC29. Magana takes 11 damage!)
OOC: By this DMs count, after taking DR1 into consideration, Magana has taken 67pts damage + bleed this round. I think that puts her at -2HP. It would be cruel to deliver another attack, so...
The golem then groans a kind of monotone rumble as it looks single-mindedly for another target.

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP 43 of 45) d20+22=35 ; d6=3 ; Monday October 13th, 2014 8:50:55 AM
Zeoll takes a move action forward, to W-X-22-23. He thows his alchemical fire with his true strike spell helping to quell the essential tremor in the elderly liontaur's hand. At this range, 20 ft from Coral Golem 1, he suffers a -2 range penalty for a grenade-like missile. That's normally a +22, but does Sam's song apply to grenade-like missile attacks? To damage? Zeoll rolls a hit on touch AC35, possibly more with inspire courage, for 1d6 fire damage this round, or 3 hp to the golem, maybe more with inspire courage?
The fire will continue to burn next round.
It is possible that Terser takes a point of splash damage?
Zeoll sighs. He simply fears that there is not much he can do to help his friends in this fight.

Knowing that Terser can hold his own for a while, Sam abandons him to help the others. As he moves south around the building to the east, his song can clearly be heard motivating all of his allies. Once around the building, he sees the shattered, Magana surrounded. Still invisible and speedy, he works his way closer to the fallen friend. On a quick side note to himself, he wonders if situations like this could be avoided if the group stayed together.

Snafu didnt like how this battle was going. They were divided and one ally was already behind enemy lines. He wanted to try to take control of the battlefield, but first he needed to draw the enemy further from his fallen comrade.
And so he began casting. Two fiery Rays exploded from his hands in the direction of the Coral golem and the creature behind it.
Meanwhile Mojoreached out and cast blur on Aex.

Aex's worried when she sees Magana going down and her lightning doing no harm at all... Flying around C3 (not crossing any threathened squares) Aex-Air is able to reach AV25. She now benefits from the Blur effect Mojo cast on her and quickly attempts to heal Magana...
Magana is healed for 20HP (Cure Serious Wounds)
"To arms you!! Fight of these fish monsters!", she says in Auran...
Aex is aware this move puts her in harms way... a position she'd rather avoid at all cost... but then again she must try whatever she can to save her Taur friend. Hopefully the Blur effect will help her to avoiding from getting hurt.

Terser decides that it a prudent time to be angry at the moment, seeing how easily the unicorn was dispatched. Pity, it was such a beautiful creature. He lines up a mighty blow, more aware of how best to attack the creature now.
You said we were flanking, then it looks like the unicorn died. If no flank bonus, then -2 from the attack roll Rage on, power attack, bard song Vital Strike vs AC 27 (or 25 without flank) 17 damage with adamantine cestus
Magana crumples to the ground, the last attack from the Coral Golem being 1 more than than she can handle. She clutches fiercely to her rage as her vision starts to go dark, then, as if by a miracle, a bit more life is pumped in to her. (thanx to Aex) She surges to her feet determined to meet Gargul with at least one enemy in tow, and turns her full attention to the golem that struck her down (C4).
(ooc: since she wasn't prone, I'm assuming no move action is needed and she gets her full-round attack. If not, plz adjust as needed!)

Zeoll moves closer and lobs a vial of alchemists fire directly at the golem. The vial explodes across the constructs back, with some splash hitting Terser (Terser takes 1pt fire damage from his new best-bud Zeoll)
(OOC: The bard inspire courage adds to "weapon damage". Is Alchemists Fire considered a weapon? For simplicity sake, let's say yes. Arguably everything is a weapon thanks to the Improvised Weapon feats)
One wonders if Zeoll mentioned to Sam that he suspects that seaspawn can sea invisible creatures?
Sam doesn't seem to mind, as he leaves Terser to handle to Coral Golem whilst he goes to check on the rest of the combat. It must be a surprise to see one as powerful as Magana fall, but it doesn't slow the bard from his destination. (OOC: Moved you 100ft closer as you requested. AQ28 puts you close yet outside the reach of any enemies.) Could the battle have gone differently if the group were concentrated rather than spread out? It's hard to say. Perhaps combat strategy is something the bard can brin up at the next dinner - if the group survive.
Snafu tries a different tactic this round, and sends two fiery rays towards the combat the grows ever closer to him. As he is about to cast the spell, he recalls the numerous articles he has read about golems and their well-known resistance to various spells - including immunity to any that offer spell resistance. (OOC: Rather than target C3 which would be a waste, I assume you would be happy to instead target S3, however the ray still fails to beat its SR.)
Mojo is a clever little mephit, and reaches his dusty hand out to touch the air elemental that helped pull him and his master free, and casts Blur.
Jozhur lines up his arrow for whichever seaspawn looks closest to death. He determines Seaspawn 2 can be the first to meet its maker, and places an arrow directly in its chest. Seaspawn 2 collapses to the ground. One assumes Jozhur would smile as he draws his sword to now face the fishmen face-to-face.
Air-Blur-Aex circles around to get closer to Magana. She foregoes flinging another lighting bolt and instead aids the fallen taur. There is a whirling whistling noise that accompanies Aex, and one can assume she is trying to say something in auran.
Who knew that dwarves had soft spots for unicorns? The loss of the summoned creature only spurs Terser into attack mode. His fist knocks several pieces of coral from the rocky golem.
Magana can feel Gargul calling her to his side, but the God of Life and Death abhors constructs and sees fit to allow Magana to rise again. Aex's healing strengthens Magana's resolve. Her flail connects with the coral creature, and follows through to spray seaspawn blood across the ground. Seaspawn 1 falls heavily to the ground. (OOC: Since you were technically unconcious at the end of the last round, yes, please deduct a hero point to stay standing/fighting this round)
Coer calls for Magana to take cover, but his call falls on deaf ears. His fists fail to do any measurable damage to the golem.
The enemy act...
Seaspawn 3 edges closer to the taur that has appeared from behind. The bastard sword it swings is accurate and sharp. (Hit AC24. Coer takes 7pts damage!)
Seaspawn 4 makes its way closer to Jozhur. It grasps a trident firmly and manages to piece the rogues defenses (Hit AC24. Jozhur takes 4pts damage!)
Coral Golem 1 swings both fists at Terser now, and fortunately for the dwarf, only one connects (Miss AC19 and Hit AC34. Terser takes 13pts damage + 3pts bleed damage!)
Coral Golem 2 steps around Magana so as to take on two members of the party at the same time. (Attack Aex. Hit AC38. Crit confirmed on AC 23. Blur concealment check: 67. Aex takes 25pts damage + 1pt bleed damage!) It's second attack hits Magana, but fails to knock her down this time (Hit AC35. Magana takes 13pts damage!)
Coral Golem 3 sees a group of casters all alone. It makes it's way over to Snafu and slashes the elf's arm. But wait! Just when the golem thinks it has connected, one of the images of Snafu disappears! (Hit AC26 however D6=5 means it was one of the Mirror Images that was hit. FYI - We'll call d6=6 a hit.) Snafu may not have time to relax however, as the golem is standing right in front of him.
Coral Golem 4 steps closer to Coer and lashes out with both fists, connecting with the unlucky Captain (Hit AC34 and 29. Coer takes 23pts damage + 5pts bleed). This has not been a good battle for Coer. Whereas he was able to dispatch of numerous birds earlier, these creatures - though bigger - are proving harder for him to strike.

The burning alchemist's fire inflicts another 1 hp on the golem before burning out!
Zeoll takes a five foot step closer, to X-Y-22-23. He draws a tanglefoot bag and throws it at the golem. He hits Touch AC16 with the bag of goo.
An entangled creature takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls and a -4 penalty to Dexterity and must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be glued to the floor, unable to move. Even on a successful save, it can move only at half speed. ... for 2d4 rounds ... plus other stuff.

Jozhur only cracks a little smile. He's finally close enough to inflict some real pain, but things aren't going so well for the Lionfish.

Perhaps it's the fire, perhaps it's the blood pouring down his face, but either way, Terser's fists can't seem to connect this round. He maintains his position though, keeping the beast occupied while Zeoll sneaks up on it.

Sam moves to aid Magana as the battle rages on. He feels the desperation of the grim situation mounting. His song serves as the only sign that he has not run from the battle. With a quick modification of his song, Sam casts CLW twice on Magana. The bard sighs as he now finds himself taking are of a second, reckless barbarian.

The combination of battle fury, a blessing from Gargul, and the support of her comrades brings an ecstatic fury to Magana's performance. She laughs with sheer joy as she survives for a few more seconds of battle, continuing her assault on the same golem (C4).

Zeoll's alchemists fire fizzles away, only to be replaced by a sticky tanglefoot. The bulk of the goo misses the golem, but enough sticks to it to slow it down (Reflex save VS DC15: 23=Pass. Duration: 2D4=3rnds)
Jozhur has fought the seaspawn before and knows exactly where to strike. He is as deadly with a sword as he is with a bow and easily finishes the creature off.
Snafu tries another tactic, and this time it is not magical. He steps back, draws a net from his kit and throws it at the golem! But the net fails to open in time and falls miserably to the ground. (I assume when you said you wanted to backstep that you wanted your familiar to also)
Terser's blows sail wide, a rare miss for the dwarf. Still, he manages to hold his own against the creature.
With fewer seaspawn in the way, Sam is now able to get close enough to Magana to deliver some much needed healing. It is a heroic effort, and Magana can instantly feel her bones start to mend.
Magana steps away from the golem to her right to swing at the golem trying to escape her. Her horns she saves for the golem behind her. (Note that Cleave only works "against a foe that is adjacent to the first". You can't hit C2 with a Cleave this round)
Air-Blur-Aex feels the power behind the golem's punch. She backs away and selflessly chooses to heal Magana rather than herself.
The enemy act...
Seaspawn 4 (the last of the seaspawn here) jabs its trident at Jozhur, but the rogue is having the battle of his life! He easily dodges the sharp prongs thrust at him (Miss AC17)
Golem 1, though covered in a tanglefoot bag, manages to throw both fists at Terser (Hit AC29 and 25. Terser takes 23pts damage!)
Golem 2 steps closer to Aex and Magana. And from where it now stands, there is little doubt that it can hear the singing from the invisible square in front of it also. It's left fist clobbers into Aex, whilst its right strikes at Magana (5ft step to AU25. Hit AC29. Miss chance:67=Pass Aex takes 15pts damage!. Hit AC33. Magana takes 12pts damage!)
Golem 3 pursues the flock of wizards and mephits that move in unison away from him. No matter what it tries however, it keeps hitting air. This time one of the images of the wizard and one of the mephit disappear (5ft step to AR32. Attack Snafu. Hit AC32. D6=2. Hit an Image. Attack Mojo. Hit AC20. D6=3. Hit an image)
Golem 4 - though struck by Magana - continues its attack on the closest taur. (Attack Coer. Hit AC38. Confirmed crit with 29. 2nd Hit AC30. Coer takes 39pts damage!)
The party are taking a beating, but the enemy are falling.

In order to give you a fair chance, please feel free to take your previous rounds action as well as the next round. If you can deal 5pts damage to C4 (accounting for DR10/Adamantine) with the previous round, you kill it and can ignore its attack this round. May the dice be with you!

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC17 - HP 43 of 45) Wednesday October 15th, 2014 6:22:53 AM
Zeoll steps even closer this round, moving right up to the golem at Z-AA-22-23. (move action)
He readies the use of his shield for total cover. Since he is not using it to boost his AC, his AC falls by five. The trigger on his readied action is a physical attack (not a spell -- tower shields do not block spells). If a physical attack is made on him, Zeoll will use his tower shield to block it. (standard action)
NOTE THAT ZEOLL NOW FLANKS THE GOLEM WITH TERSER AND OFFERS TERSER A +2 FLANKING BONUS.
Zeoll rears up, waves his free arm, and shouts, hoping to prompt an attack by the monster. (free action)

"Retreat!" Snafu ordered when another image disappeared. Both Snafu and Mojo responded by rolling away from the Golem before turning and running around the corner.
Once out of view Snafu began casting. From within one of the buildings an image of Snafu appeared with a bow in hand. "Hey stupid" the image called to the Golem before it disappeared inside the building.
Actions: -acrobatics checks to avoid AOO, Snafu=28, Mojo 13 -move around the corner of the building (around AX36) -cast minor image, create illusion of Snafu inside one of the buildings, not sure where the doors and windows are, so will need your help. The goal is to draw the golem away from the battle... And away from me!

As another blow hits Aex-Air she suddenly has a clear view of numerous constellations that are circling around the Wold. Stars... bells... birds... Huh?!?
The Greenmage realizes it's been plenty and needs to back away... She withdraws and flies up into the air out of reach from the Golem. Her active Lightning spell still holds and although she has little hope that it will hurt any of the Seamonsters she calls one down anyhow... (damage 8HP - Reflex DC19 - SR24) (ignore the 3d8 - I thought it would hurt just a bit more ;-) )

Realizing the crew is still in great danger, Jozhur goes into a flurry on the last seaspawn. He distracts the creature by swinging the longbow in his left hand wide, then follows up with two hard thrusts of his sword.

Rnd 4 ----- Coer's fists are a blur and he tears coral and seaweed from Golem4. It crumbles into a heap of stone.
Rnd 5 ----- Zeoll edges closer to the golem and does his best to distract it. One would imagine that a creature with no discernible INT or CHA wouldn't be offended by being called "Coral Face", but that doesn't stop Zeoll from trying.
Sam continues singing, but he has the sense of mind to heal Magana before backing away from the golem near him.
With fewer foes to attack him now, Coer takes a moment to patch his wounds and stop the bleeding.
Snafu and Mojo decide enough is enough and look to retreat. Snafu moves first, but isn't quick enough to avoid a swinging fist from the Golem. This time unfortunately it's aim is true (Hit AC37. Crit confirmed with AC38. d4=4 means direct hit. Snafu takes 31pts damage!). The wizard survives long enough to beat a hasty retreat to the nearby building. Now alone, he casts a spell - directed through a window - into a building. The spell creates the image of an elf holding a bow, whilst grunting and chuckling. (Note: the spell "includes some minor sounds but not understandable speech". The image has to be in line of sight too, so have created the image at AP40)
Air-Blue-Aex moves upwards and out of reach of the nearby golem. She considers calling down a lightning bolt, however, time does not allow (OOC: Withdrawing is a full round action. Calling down a another bolt is a standard action)
The rogue is showing the muscle in the group how it is done. With finesse, Jozhur takes care of the last of the seaspawn.
Terser is spurred on by Zeoll's words. His fists are like hunks of metal and sends shards of coral flying.
Magana has had a moment to regather her senses. Her flail squarely collides with the golem, but alas, her horns aren't as deadly.
The enemy act...
Coral Golem 1 looks at Zeoll briefly, but it is hard to forget how much damage Terser just delivered. It tries to return suit, but only barely (Hit AC31. Miss AC19. Terser takes 12pts damage!)
Coral Golem 2 can only watch as Aex flies out of range. Nevermind. Magana is still standing right there. The golem sends two firm punches into Magana's chest (Hit AC36 & 26. Magana takes 25pts damage!)
Coral Golem 3 takes off after the illusory Snafu. Right now it stands ready to punch the thing (Double Move to AP39)
Three coral golems still stand, but so does the entire party.

Coer steps up next to Magana and starts laying into the golem that has been troubling her (Note that based on current positions, the golem has a +2 bonus to AC for the cover provided by Magana)
Aex touches back down to deliver more much needed healing to Magana (I'm assuming you meant AR26 rather than AR27, as CLW is a touch spell). She starts to get a nagging feeling that she's forgetting something... And if she remembered it, could she communicate it?
Snafu moves back towards the battle, carrying a very noticeable wound. He has the presence of mind to create the image of a wall across the open portion of the building. Hopefully that will seal the golem inside.
Summoning the power of Fezzik, Magana belts the golem repeatedly with her flail.
Sam does his best to inspire the group, whilst continuing to provide healing to Magana.
Jozhur can only see one more golem to destroy. He best play for now is to coordinate his attack with Magana and Coer. The rogue moves into position.
Terser finishes off the golem that had been pestering he and Zeoll (Note that you cannot attack and channel in the same round unless you use a hero point. Channeling is a standard action)
Zeoll though has plenty of time to channel some healing energy. And follows up with preparing a tanglefoot bag.
The enemy act...
Golem 2 continues its relentless assault on Magana, once more doing some real damage to the taur (Miss AC19 - Nat 1. Hit AC21. Magana takes 12pts damage!)
Golem 3 winds up and punches the image of the elf in front of it. If it could be surprised, he would be, but comes to the realisation that the 'elf' is an illusion (Standard action to attack. Will Save to disbelieve: 19=Pass.) Realising there is nothing left to attack in the building, it turns and walks towards where the noise of combat is, only to find a wall in its path.

OOC: oooo... Didn't realize the door was on the north wall. Little nervous about running North in case the Golem gets through the illusion. So...
Snafu passed back through the illusionary wall and backtracked to his last position. Once there he cast a minor spell that was focused inside the building. Hopefully it would keep the golem busy a little longer.
"You will pay for attacking this town" one human voice called from inside the building.
"I'm going to turn you into a piece of jewellery" another voiced promised.
Then the sound of drawn swords was heard followed by more threats.

(StevenVdB) Aexana HP 6/54 - AC20/18/15 - +4 vs Giant - CMD 19 - +1 vs Lizards & Goblinoids d8+5=12 ; Sunday October 19th, 2014 4:37:15 PM "There are only 8 here!" Aex-Air thinks to herself... "HOLY MOTHER WOLD!! HOW COULD I FORGET!!!!"
Aex taps Magana's shoulder one last time with a CLW spell for 12HP's!! (Yes good dice...)
Then she quickly flies towards Zeoll... somehow she hopes the old Taur has some brains to understand her signs... Aex-Air moves to AQ23 which should bring her alongside the incoming Taur.
Aex frantically waves her hands to make Zeoll stop.
Then she holds up 8 Elemental fingers... Holds one finger down towards the creatures they are now fighting... Next she makes a 'plus' sign with 2 index fingers and points East And then... she holds up 4 fingers... For the last sign she makes... she flies a bit more into the air and holds her hand flat as if to show how tall something is...
Aexana eyeballs Zeoll as if to see if the Taur brain will crack her code... Being out of healing spell and badly injured herself she hopes for the best...
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC17 - HP 45 of 45) d20=10 ; Sunday October 19th, 2014 7:53:44 PM
Zeoll stops after one move action, not two! He watches Aexana, and then shouts, "Hey! I think Aex is saying something! ... What's that, girrl? Timmy's down a well! He needs ourr help?"
"No, wait, that's not it! She's saying therre arre morre enemies on the way! Fourr morre to the east! is that rright, Aexana?"
Zeoll uses his remaining standard action to ready tossing his tanglefoot bag at any enemy that comes within two range increments -- 20 ft. If it does, he tosses the bag and hits Touch AC 10 (including -2 for range and -2 for tower shield use).
DM RobC - Seaspawn Combat - Round 8 d20+4=17 ; d20+4=18 ; Monday October 20th, 2014 6:49:50 AM
Snafu and Mojo return back to the side of the building, and commence trying to mess with the golem they have contained in the other building. Though they can see through the window, they can't see the golem anymore. It doesn't appear fooled by the ghost sound, however (Will Save: 17=Pass)
Jozhur's stays on his toes, and plunges his sword into an exposed weak-spot on the golem.
Magana follows this up with horn and flail.
But it takes the Captain to put the golem down for good. Coer reaches over and uses the heel of his palm to knock the coral-head off the golem's shoulders. It crumbles into a pile of rock.
Sam and Aexana both combine to provide some healing to Magana. She took quite a beating in this fight, and very nearly met her maker.
Zeoll comes running in, but the golem is down.
It is at this moment that Aex realises what it is she forgot. She flies close to Zeoll and begins signing madly. (OOC: I'll let this one slide, but for future signing attempts I think a Standard or perhaps Move Action is required. You're essentially playing a game of charades mid-combat. In my mind it's more than a free action to communicate something to that extent non-verbally. Check out the steps you detailed, for instance. PLUS you're blurred)
Zeoll manages to put two-and-two together, and it dawns on him that Aex is trying to warn the group of something in-bound. More enemies? Four he believes. (OOC: You'd already used a double move prior to Aex's warning. No standard action left to ready a tanglefoot bag unless you want to use a hero point)
The enemy act...
Coral Golem 3 knows he came in a door here somewhere, and pushes against the silent image. His fist goes through it, and he then follows. (Standard action to attack. Autohit. Will save to disbelieve: 18=Pass. Move north to AP29)
And just when things couldn't get any worse...
The four masses that Aexana saw earlier come into view. Unfortunately the four enemies she saw are somewhat more complicated that she first thought. Four seaspawn approach and each one is riding atop a huge lobster mount. These lobsters are big enough to feed a taur for a week (or a dwarf for a few days).
At least the party are regrouped.
(Terser: I've moved you closer to the group. Hope that's ok) edit: thanks - I lost Friday somehow. Forgot it was even a weekday. --------------------------------

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC17 - HP 45 of 45) d20+4=6 ; d20+4=13 ; Monday October 20th, 2014 11:10:26 AM
Zeoll knows that there are more enemies coming, but darned if he can see them anywhere. He ponders casting a PeaceBall, but he can't know where to center it, and his hands are full of tanglefoot bag and shield anyway.
AND there's a coral golem coming right for him.
Zeoll throws caution to the wind and decides to act like a hero for a change! He dashes south right at the monster, ending his move just out of reach. [Move south 25 ft to AP-AQ-26-27.] As he moves, he lets down his defenses, slipping his tower shield off his arm so that he is just carrying it in his hand. [Free action combined with BAB+1 and a move ... now Zeoll loses the benefit of the shield but also loses the -2 attack penalty and the shield's arcane fail chance. It is still in his hand.]
From point blank range, the grey-mane liontaur hurls his tanglefoot bag at the monster. Ah Lady Maab! All he has to do is hit AC9, and he manages to hit only AC6! He feels the bag of goo slipping free at the wrong time. All his hopes of gluing the thing to the ground fade away like the memory of his carefree youth! Now nothing will stop the thing from taking a five foot step forward and crushing him!
No! That's not who he is! Zeoll digs deep at the last minute, gripping hard with his old fingers. [OOC using a hero point on the reroll!] His last minute prayer is answered, and he manages to aim the bag true! He hits Touch AC13, and the goopy stringy mess covers the golem.
But is it enough to keep the monster at bay?
An entangled creature takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls and a -4 penalty to Dexterity and must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be glued to the floor, unable to move. Even on a successful save, it can move only at half speed. ... for 2d4 rounds ... plus other stuff.

Sam sees the new foes approach and attempts to even the battle. His inspiring song continues, but takes a twist as he casts a new spell. Sam becomes visible as he casts "confusion" at the group to the east. (Confusion will vs DC=21 or become confused for 7 rounds. I'm targeting the spot 2 spaces east of S6. This should effect S6, L1,and L2)
"Do not attack the group to the east quite yet! Let's see how the spell catches them!"
Sam them moves 1 space east of Terser.
Sam is still under the effect of expeditious retreat.

Magana make a quick tactical review of their positions and decides this is as good a place as any to continue the fight. She take a step southeast (to AT25-AU26) and pulls a couple things from her pack; a potion and a wand.
"SAM! CATCH!" she calls to the bard, and tosses the wand to him. (Wand of Cure Moderate Wounds (CL2) (50 chgs) )
She then quaffs the potion (Potion of Cure Mod. (CL2) for 12 points) and braces for the incoming charge.

"Looks like someone is late to the party" Snafu whispered as he slid forward silently and peered around the corner. Once he position he started casting as quietly as he could.
Springing from the ground was a wall of illusionary flame that spanned 90' from the north to the south. The wall was 10' high and 10' thick. It looked and sounded as real flame, and even gave off the sensation of great heat.
"Let's hope that delays them somewhat" Snafu muttered.
Actions: -5' step to the corner of the building; stealth check 28 -knowledge check on lobsters - 17 on all checks, except arcana (18) -cast major image to create illusion of wall of fire. Wall should span building -to-building from BG24 to BG41; goal is to make them have to move around the wall (cause delay)

Terser is wondering why everyone is freaking out about some lobsters that are over 100 feet away when there's still a golem in their midst. One problem at a time! He moves up to it and swings once with his glaive, staying out of reach for the moment until he can position himself to use his fists.
Move to AP27, vital strike vs C3 - AC 18 is a miss, even with the tanglefoot I think.

Aex flies up into the air to get a clear view on the 4 onrushing abberations... (move)
She immediately calls down a third lightning (4 left) on L2 (Damage 13HP - Reflex save DC18 for half) (free action)
Next she casts Sleet storm engulfing L3 and L4 (Driving sleet blocks all sight (even darkvision) within it and causes the ground in the area to be icy. A creature can walk within or through the area of sleet at half normal speed with a DC 10 Acrobatics check. Failure means it can't move in that round, while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Acrobatics skill for details)

Coer looks at the lobsters a little way off and the remaining coral golem nearby. He chooses the nearby option and approaches the coral golem and punches at it.

Zeoll digs deep - both with his courage and his aim. He moves towards the golem and hurls the tanglefoot bag at it. And what aim he has! The golem cops the full contents of the bag and is stuck firmly to the ground (Ref save vs DC15: 11=Fail! Stuck for 2D4=7rnds)
Sam digs into his bard bag-o-tricks (tm) and casts a confusion spell at two lobsters and one seaspawn. None of them alter their course or current plan of attack (Will Save vs DC21: 27 - Nat 20. Aw snap! And the Lobsters both pass too) Sam then moves to the protective wing of Terser.
Magana does ... something. But rest assured whatever it is, is really good! (If I'm reading your post right, you are retrieving a potion from your pack (a move action) retrieving a wand from your pack (another move action), throwing the wand to Sam (a standard action) then drinking the potion (another standard action). Too much! Let me know in your next post what two actions you wanted to take this round please)
Snafu edges closer to the edge of the building - towards the enemy! From his vantage point he can really appreciate how big (and deadly) these lobsters are. If they are anything like your typical lobsters, then he suspects they would be vermin. And their front right claw looks noticeably larger than the front left claw. Much larger, and much much sharper. A person may not lose a head, but a limb is a real possibility. That claw though could also be a weak point. Damaging it could really hamper one of those lobsters
Note that everyone - other than Snafu and Mojo - believe the Wall of Fire to be real (until you interact with it), and thus, cannot see through it
Terser is confused why people want to go picking a fight with some other folk when there's a perfectly good golem here to smash up. Unfortunately his aim is just not with it right now, and his glaive fails to connect.
Coer joins in, but his punch goes wide - even against a still target.
Jozhur joins with the group to coordinate an attack on the stuck-fast golem.
Aex ascends and calls a Sleet Storm in to hamper the enemy. The change is quick, and the area effected is wide. Vision into and out of the area is blocked.
Aex's Ice Storm spell from earlier fizzles away as does Snafu's Silent Image. The Black Tentacles will disappear next round.
The enemy act...
Coral Golem 3 had planned to smash the sticky resin that glues it to the ground, but since Jozhur is now in reach it has a different target. The golem smacks the rogue with two solid fists, that almost feel harder covered in resin (Hit AC36 - Nat 20. Confirmed with AC33. 2nd Attack hits AC29. Jozhur takes 42pts damage!)
Aex has a good view from up high as to what is going on. Aex ONLY Highlight to display spoiler: { Lobster 3 comes crawling out of the Sleet Storm. Seaspawn 7 casts a spell! But with no ranks in Spellcraft, you have no idea what it was! Then Seaspawn 6 also casts a spell. There is no sign of Lobster 4 or his rider}
Two lobsters and their riders come into view on the north side of one of the buildings.
And then, Seaspawn 5 does something you have never seen a seaspawn do before. It casts a spell! Since when could these guys cast spells? Spellcraft DC17 Highlight to display spoiler: {Flaming Sphere!}
A ball of fire erupts from the ground at Zeoll's feet (Zeoll to make a REF save VS DC15 or take 10pts fire damage!)
Green = Trees. Tan = Dirt & Stone. If entangle was cast I would argue there were at least some weeds present in dirt/stone areas that the spell would function. Yellow = Sand.

Jozhur is nearly knocked off his feet by the golem. He has to get away from it, but not before he strikes back. He sticks the golem with his sword, then steps away. ---------------- Attack hits AC29, 6 damage plus 12 sneak damage before DR. 5 foot step to AP31
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC17 - HP 45 of 45) Tuesday October 21st, 2014 10:47:55 AM
Zeoll does not want the monster to try to break free; while it is stuck, it is vulnerable to reach weapons without a chance at retaliation!
"Terser! Coer! Keep attacking it with reach! Jozhur, go shoot at stuff until I can heal you!"
So Zeoll dons his tower shield (a move action) and uses the ready action to prepare to use his shield for total cover. He does not actually use it for that yet! But his trigger will be that if attacked, he will swing that huge puppy around to block the attack completely.
Then he steps forward five feet and, now adjacent to the monster that could otherwise kill him easily, points his finger authoritatively as he shouts in Aquan, "Billoopl commands you to stop fighting!" at it. (RP only, free action)
Note that if the golem uses a special attack, Zeoll's CMD is 16. His shield has hardness 17 and 60 hp.

"To the skies!" Snafu encouraged Mojo as he started casting another spell. Suddenly they were both off the ground, flying up and over the building immediately North of them.
From this new vantage point they studied the battlefield. Could the rooftops give them an advantage over these nasty lobster creatures? And what was the enemies numbers? How many more waves of attackers could they withstand? Could they even withstand this wave?
Actions: Not sure how tall the building is, but the goal is to cast fly and move as far north (above the building as possible) and to study the battlefield. Perception check 14

Aex-Air doesn't know the spells the fishfolk are casting but she does seem to recognize the flaming ball that has just crashed into Zeoll!
"... I can do that as well you know! ... " she thinks and casts Flaming Sphere to appear at BB19 and has the Sphere crash into L1. (Damage 11 - Reflex DC17 for no damage)

Jozhur barely manages to maintain both his balance and consciousness. He stabs at the golem before backing safely away out of its reach.
Coer isn't afraid to let his fists do the talking. Especially from the safety he has with reach. This is almost like his training days as he smacks the golem around.
Zeoll steps up to act as a target for the golem, while dodging the fiery-ball that appeared underfoot.
Terser moves to flank the golem (I think you meant AN29 rather than AM29). This position proves much better for the dwarf, and his glaive makes its mark.
Snafu casts a fly spell on himself and then heads upwards (Please make fly checks in future rounds. DC for going straight up, for example, is DC20). From this position he has a good view of the battlefield. Other than these lobsters and their riders, he can't see anything else 'hostile' nearby. Of course he can't see in the buildings, through the forest, under the water, etc, etc. But if he wants to see the glass as half-full, there are only 8 enemies in clear sight (4 lobsters + 4 seaspawn)
Aex brings out a fiery-ball of her own, and sends it straight towards one of the lobsters. (Ref save vs DC17: 22=Pass.) The lobster is so big though that the ball passes straight between two of its legs this time.
Sam picks up the healing stick (ie: the CLW wand) and gets ready to heal whoever looks to need it the most.
Magana finds some clear space and takes the time to patch a few of her wounds. Judging on the remaining enemies, she will need all the strength she can muster.
The black tentacles fade away as the spell expires.
The enemy act...
Coral Golem 3 lashes out at Zeoll. The attack fails miserably but Zeoll's shield goes up nonetheless.(Hit AC17. Nat1=Miss!) It tries to sunder the shield, but after the attack, even it realises its rock-hard, razor-sharp, corally fists somehow aren't able to damage the wood. (Sunder attack successful, but can't get past the hardness. For next round I'll need to look into whether these golems can bypass some amount of hardness)
Lobster 1 moves closer to the party, and when it is some 15ft away from Magana it lashes out with its huge right claw! (Hit AC21. Magana takes 15pts damage!. Free grapple attempt: CMB33. Magana is grappled and moved adjacent to the lobster!)
Lobster 2 scurries closer - much closer - to the group.
Lobster 3 runs north to make its way around the fiery wall.
Lobster 4 and its rider emerge from the Sleet Storm, and start to head around the buildings to the south.
Seaspawn 5 casts a spell and targets (Target chosen randomly based on alphabetical names: d10=4. Cell A4=) Jozhur!. (Jozhur must make a Fort save vs DC15 or be deaf!)
It then moves the ball-o-fire closer to Zeoll! (Zeoll to make a Ref save VS DC15 or take 14pts fire damage)
Seaspawn 6 casts a spell and targets Aexana! A fiery ray springs from the seaspawn's fingertips, but fails to hit Air-Aex. (Hit Touch AC12 = Miss!) Aex can feel the heat of the ray as it narrowly misses her, and gets the feeling that if it had connected, she might not have lived to tell the tale
Seapawn 7 has a clear view of both Snafu and Aexana. Aex can see the seaspawn cast a spell and feels ... something (Aexana to make a Will save VS DC14 or be shaken for 6 minutes!)
Seaspawn 8 may be quite far away, but does have a clear view of Snafu and Aexana. Aex may be out of range, but Snafu isn't. The seaspawn casts a spell, and a bolt of lightning strikes down upon Snafu. What's more, with Mojo directly overhead, he too takes damage! (Per your post on the 16th, "Mojo will fly above my head". Mojo to make a Ref save vs DC16 or take 12pts electric damage! Snafu to make a Ref save vs DC16 or take 7pts electric damage! Pass your save and you take half-damage)

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC22 - HP 45 of 45) d20+8=21 ; d20+9=15 ; d20+9=29 ; d20+5=19 ; Wednesday October 22nd, 2014 7:09:27 AM
LAST ROUND
Zeoll's Reflex save: 21, and the old liontaur dodges again!
OOC: When the golem tried to sunder the shield, that triggered an AoO, right? Now, even on a crit, Zeoll's max damage is 10, not enough to get past the DR, so why bother? However, Zeoll could make a sunder, disarm, or trip attack of his own in place of a melee attack, in this case, in place of the AoO. But the old weak liontaur sees little hope in that. He does think that he needs a tear or something to use when these AoO options present themselves.
NEW ROUND
Spellcraft checks: 15 and 29. Know Arcana to recognize a magical effect in place: 19 ... nope.
Zeoll sees that the lobstrosities are coming closer! His glue will suffice to hold the golem for another round, at least, and maybe Terser and Coer can take it out. So he takes a five foot step away from the golem and away from the fireball. Laying a finger on the Rod at his belt (RP, not needed to use rod), he casts extended Command on S6, to FLEE if it cannot make a Will Save vs DC 10+1+2+2+1+4=DC20.
He is using his shield for AC this round.

"Incoming!" Snafu yelled when he saw the lightning bolt coming. Mojo reacted very quickly, complexly avoiding the blast. Snafu managed to avoid most of it.
The pair continued to fly towards their saviours, while dropping elevation slightly. Hopefully this would put them out of the line of sight for another lightening bolt, or something much worse.
And then Snafu started casting. Suddenly a large green billowing cloud appeared. "Let's see what you had for breakfast."
Actions: -Successful save (24 and 19); mojo has evasion so he takes no damage. Snafu takes 4 -move towards Co, and drop elevation by 5'
Spell- shadow conjuration that creates stinking cloud. Will Center it around AW22 so allies are out of range but S5, S6, L1 and L2 are affected. Will save to disbelieve DC21, if successful nauseated effect only 20% likely to occur. If save unsuccessful the stinking cloud works as normal. Fort DC vs. nauseated is 21 in either case. Sr check 19

Terser is eager to finish off this golem, and it shows in the flurry of his metal fists that almost rival the Captain's. He steps up to it and let his adamantine encased knuckles do his speaking for him.
5 foot step in, sheathe the glaive if possible, drop if not, full attack. second rolls should be -5 (forgot to adjust roller for iterative attack) but still a crit if these are crittable.

Aex shakes of the spell that was cast at her but she's scared about the ray that just missed her... it would most certainly have killed her if it hit! It's questionable that she'll be this lucky more than once!
Leaving her Flaming Sphere where it is Aex moves 30ft higher in a 45� angle so she ends up at AQ20 at 70ft altitude. There she calls down lightning on S6... (10 damage - Reflex save DC18 for half)

Jozhur gets the feeling someone tried to cast a spell on him, but he seems to be unaffected by it.
Terser blows seem to have finished off the last golem, so Jozhur moves on to something else. He sheaths his sword and steps up for a clear shot.
----------------- Sheath sword and 5 foot step to AQ30 Ranged attack at S6 hits AC24, 9 damage. Ignore the sneak dice, too far away.
If for some reason C3 is still alive, Jozhur will shoot it instead, dealing 18 damage after DR with sneak damage.

with the final golem dispatched Coer turns to face the lobsters who have closed in quickly. He draws a javelin from its quiver as he steps forward and throws it at S6, the throw is wide however.
His eyes flashing blue for a moment he calls "COME AND GET ME", trying to keep the beast from his smaller allies.

The speed and ease with which the giant lobster seized Magana stuns her. She quickly realizes that this creature, topped with a spell caster, will likely be more than she and her comrades can handle. Rather than free herself from the beasts pincers, she attacks its rider hoping that chopping down the spell caster will remove the fighting will from the beast.
1H Flail hits a 23 for 15 dmg 1H Flail hits a 25 for 17 dmg Horns (if can reach) hits a 22 for 7 dmg
Zeoll is first to react to the approaching lobsters. He steps away from the stuck golem and targets the riders of the nearest lobster, commanding him to flee. Unfortunatly it does not look to have the desired effect (Will Save vs DC20: 23=Pass). His knowledge of the seaspawn is growing, and between his arcana check and the way they shrug off his spells, he believes their Will and Reflex saves to be strong, but likely that their Fort saves are weak.
Coer retrieves a javelin from his pack, and with a 5ft runup throws it at the nearby seaspawn rider. His attack barely missing! If that wasn't enough, the minotaur flexes his muscles, taunting the enemy to come at him. (Note Zeoll posted first and his 5ft step puts him into one of the squares you wanted, so I've done my best to accomodate your step)
Terser shows his prowess and steps up to beat pummel the golem to a pile of rick. His holds his glaive in one hand and lets his other do all the work.
Aex narrowly avoids two attacks, and heads north. In her wake she brings down a bolt of lighting directly at one of the seapsawn riders (Ref Save vs DC18: 12=Fail)
Sam draws on heroic reserves and focuses as much arcane power as his small body can. He targets not one, but two seaspawn with his assault. (Will Saves: 26 & 10. S5=Pass. S6=Fail) Despite his valiant attempt, BOTH seaspawn somehow continue to move freely.
Jozhur sheathes his sword, content that Terser has dealt with the golem. He steps closer and fires an arrow directly at one of the seaspawn.
Forget being grappled, Magana just wants to kill something! The lobster has done her the great favour of bringing her close enough to attack its rider. Her flail and horns all strike cleanly!
Snafu is quick to react against the impending Lightning Bolt. Mojo moreso, as the mephit avoids all damage. The pair fly closer to their new friends. Snafu conjures a semi-real stinking cloud. It looks to do the job quite well in one particular area. (Will Saves vs DC21: 9, 16, 12, 9. All fail! Fort saves vs DC21: 20, 21, 18, 25. S5 and L1 are both nauseated! Note that based on where Snafu has placed it, Magana also has to save (Magana, Will Save vs DC21 and Fort save vs DC21. 1. Fail the Will and Pass the Fort: Nothing. 2. Fail the Will and Fail the Fort: Nauseated. 3. Pass the Will and Fail the Fort: 20% chance of being nauseated)
The enemy act...
Lobster 1 is nauseated! It releases Magana from its grapple, and steps away from the cloud.
Lobster 2 isn't though. It steps freely from the cloud and sees a tasty little gnome. (Hit AC22. Sam takes 16pts damage! Free grapple attempt. CMB28. Sam is grappled!)
Lobster 3 continues its long approach to the group
Lobster 4 runs NNW to get closer to the battle.
Seaspawn 5 is too busy throwing up to be able to do anything this round. All he can do is use his move action to keep the ball of fire chasing Zeoll (Zeoll to make a Ref save VS DC15 or take 11pts fire damage)
Seaspawn 6 is content to let his lobster have gnome for lunch. He turns his attention to Zeoll. The seaspawn casts a spell, and a fiery ray erupts from its hand striking Zeoll! (Hit Touch AC18 (rolled +7 but should have been +8). Zeoll takes 17pts fire damage!)
With the illusionary fog, Seaspawn 7 can now only see Sanfu and Aexana. But both are too far away at the moment for an attack. Instead the seaspawn casts a spell on itself.
Seaspawn 8 is still quite away from the battle, but does have a medium range spell at its disposal. It targets the ground where most of the party are concentrated. Zeoll, Coer, Terser and Jozhur now finds themselves in a field of spikes!

Knowing the little bard well, Terser sees through the acting job that Sam is trying to pull, but perhaps the lobster and its rider did not. He charges at the beast and attempts to shear through the claw that's holding his friend captive. The spikes slow down his momentum through and he is barely able to draw near enough to attack. reflex save fail, fail, pass, half move to AO26, then 5 ft step to AO 25 3 squares of spikes 2, 1, 1 damage for 4 total
Still, desperation lends speed to his limbs and he is able to take a swing at what is soon to be dinner, though hopping on one foot does little to improve his aim. Hero point for an attack - 16 is a miss

Snafu cursed himself when he saw Magana vomiting, but he didn't let the thought linger. There would be time for that later.
Instead he flew directly at the nearest non-vomiting lobster and it's rider. Once in position he cast a spell that caused a wave of energy to fall over his allies. Suddenly they were moving at twice the speed.
Without hesitating Snafu cast again. This time a blinding wave of colour exploded from Snafu's hands at the lobster and rider.
Actions: - fly into a position where Snafu is 15' away for both the rider and lobster. - cast defensively (success 28)- haste. Targeting myself and as many allies as possible. Terser would be highest on the priority list. Probably Sam followed by Magana would be lowest. - use hero point to cast a second spell- defensively (34 success), color spray at L2 and S6. Will DC 18
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 14 -- HP 32/48 Thursday October 23rd, 2014 2:55:00 PM

Three spellcraft checks for Zeoll: 26, 26, 28!
Wowsy, all the rest of my rolls this post are going to be hideous!
Zeoll calls out the spells they are using: "That was a Scorrching Rray that got me! That one overr therre is prrotected by a Cirrcle Vs Good. And this is Spike Grrowth underr my feet! OUCH!"
Zeoll's save vs the small persistent fireball: 22, so again with no damage!
The Scorching Ray permits of no evasion, unfortunately.
The Spike Growth is a pain only if Zeoll takes a step. He considers staying put!
[OOC: I'm assuming the Haste affects Zeoll, and am increasing his AC by 1.]
Zeoll looks the enemy caster S6 in the eye and then ... realizes that he is in reach of the lobster! If he casts, the lobster will be able to take an AoO on him!
So Zeoll uses a move action to become invisible. The seaspawn may be able to sense him, but the lobster? Maybe not!
Hopefully, because he is invisible, the lobster cannot take AoOs on him. NOW the old liontaur can cast his spell. He looks the Seaspawn in the eye and tries another Extended Command: FLEE! Again, with a DC20 Will Save.

Seeing the huge lobster grab Sam, Coer decides to act. He bends his knees then launches into the air, sailing over the spiked ground and landing next to l2.
His fist pounds the crustacean but bounces off its thick shell.

"Sam! No!!"
Jozhur feels the need to get out of the spike field he has suddenly found himself in. He leaps to his left and clears the field of spikes. He looks for a target, but the others are obstructing his shot. Rather than try to shoot around his friends, he climbs onto the roof of the building next to him.
Once on the roof, the rogue looks for cover on the north end of the building to begin sniping from.

Aex checks the battlefield... Magana is once again tangled up and oops... sam is grappled!
High above (worried that IF she's targetted and hit she will loose her ability to fly and plummet to the ground from a 75 ft height!) she moves the Flaming Sphere and Calls down another lightning arc...

Has the Wold ever seen such a battle as this?!
Sam is well and truly caught in the massive lobsters claw. He does the only thing that comes to mind - he feigns death! (OOC: I like the ingenuity of this. I'll give the Lobster and his rider a chance to realise what is going on. Sense Motive check opposed by your acting check. S6:14 L2:5. The lobster actually fell for it!)
Terser knows the difference between Sam being really hurt and Sam acting. At the moment it looks to be a little of both. He approaches the creature and swings his glaive, but fails to make a dent in it. (FYI - Since you can make the movement in one go and needn't worry about AoOs, do you want to keep your hero point? The movement and attack can be your actions. No 5ft step needed)
Magana can do little but bring up her breakfast. It would be ironic if she'd eaten lobster. She steps free from the cloud.
Snafu flies closer to the group, before casting Haste upon them. (Snafu, Mojo, Terser, Zeoll and Coer are hastened!). With his final act, he draws on what little power reserves he has left and focuses. A spray of colour erupts from his hand! (Will Saves vsDC18: Seaspawn6 = 8 - Nat1. Lobster2 = 18 = Pass.)
Zeoll is starting to feel a little surrounded now. What's more, there is now something bigger than even he is. And it's right in front of him. He makes himself invisible, before commanding the seaspawn once again to leave! (Will save vs DC20:23 = Pass) This seaspawn does not want to move. Perhaps it was just distracted by the colour spray? (Fyi - Command is language dependant. I'll assume unless otherwise told that whenever you cast it you cast it in 'common'. In Zeoll's aging mind, he does recall the seaspawn of Gullport speaking common)
Coer jumps straight out of the spiky growth and towards the lobster. But his jump falls short! (The DC for an Acrobatics check for a 15ft long jump is DC15, however "these DCs double if you do not have at least 10 feet of space to get a running start". You needed DC30, and as a result have landed in the spikes!) (Coer takes 1pt damage and must make a Ref Save vs DC16 or have his speed halved!)
Jozhur takes a similar approach trying to jump his way free, but his jump falls short as well! (Please see above notes. You needed a DC40 Acrobatics check to achieve what you wanted) (Jozhur takes 4pts damage and must make a Ref Save vs DC16 or have his speed halved!)
Aex is worried - perhaps rightly so - that if she gets hit and falls, that 75ft is a long drop. She throws caution to the wind (she is in air elemental shape after all) and goes on the attack. She throws lightning and fire at the lobster and his rider. The lobster takes a fair punch, but the seaspawn in unscathed (Will Saves 15 & 16 : Both fails for the lobster. DM Hint: Check out my post from Round3 as to why the seaspawn may be fine)
The enemy act...
Lobster 1 steps ever so slightly away from the Stinking Cloud (Fort Save: 22 = Pass! No nausea). Both claws now try to catch Magana, and perhaps fortunately, only one does (Hit AC25. Miss AC11. CMB for free grapple: 36. [i]Magana takes 15pts damage and is grappled!)
Lobster 2 seems convinced that it has killed the puny gnome (the lobster is a mindless vermin after all). It drops Sam to the ground and turns its attention elsewhere (Sam is now prone)
Lobster 2 uses its smaller claw to swipe at Terser, but misses the dwarf! (Hit AC16 - Miss!) Zeoll though is a much bigger target for its much bigger claw. The claw grasps Zeoll tightly around his midriff and pulls him in (Hit AC27. CMB for free grapple: 30. Zeoll takes 16pts damage and is grappled!
Lobster 3 continues its journey around the buildings and spell effects.
Lobster 4 now moves in closer from the south
Seaspawn 5 is content to watch his mount squash the life from Magana. The caster turns his attention to the next nearest threat: Coer! A sparkling ray flies from his palm and strikes Coer! (Touch attack hits Touch AC19. Coer must make a Fort Save vs DC14. Fail=5pts strength loss. Pass=2pts strength loss.). With his move action, the seaspawn sends the ball-o-fire after Terser! (to Terser to make a Ref save VS DC15 or take 9pts fire damage. Pass=No damage)
Seaspawn 6 is captivated by the pretty colours Snafu is throwing his way.
Seaspawn 7 narrows its eyes. It doesn't cast a spell... yet?
Seaspawn 8 fires a blast of ice towards Jozhur. The icicle is weak and melts before it even reaches the rogue (Hit Touch AC8 - Nat1! Miss!)

Having escaped from the lobster claw in a very bard-like way, Sam finds himself facedown in the dirt. He knows that if the beast sees him alive, it might easily snatch him up again. He also knows that the team needs his support. Shaking with fear, Sam does his best to sing as quietly as he can to cast an invisibility spell on himself. (Sing=16 to cast invisibility quietly)
If he is able to become invisible, he stands up.

Snafu studied the battlefield. One ally was down and then up. Another was clearing their stomach of its contents. A third was flying around half unconscious. All were gravely wounded. Meanwhile, more enemies were closing in.
He knew he had to slow the charge. He had to buy his new friends more time.
Cutting above the shadow stinking cloud spell he began casting. Another illusionary wall suddenly appeared, cutting off the approach of the lobster and rider to the north.
Actions: 1) fly above the stinking cloud and turn towards Magana. Acrobatics check to avoid AOO 33 (nat 20) 2) cast minor image, summoning a wall that runs from the building to the north to the building to the west. Will DC 19 if interacted with. Goal: to further delay the lobster to the north, while getting in range of Magana to help her next round.

Jozhur notices the seaspawn he is after has been stunned by their new acquaintance, now is his chance. He moves forward to shoot around Zeoll and sends two quick shots at the awestruck seaspawn. ------------------------------ Move to AM27. Shall we say a dwarf does not provide soft cover for a seaspawn riding on top of a giant lobster?

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 12 of 45) d20=3 ; d20=2 ; Friday October 24th, 2014 5:03:04 PM
OOC: I'm assuming that the lobster lifted Zeoll out of the spikes; that is, that he did not get dragged through them as he was brought closer, incurring damage and a chance of thorn-in-paw.
BTW: Liontaurs should totally have the ability to use a first level summons to call a mouse that can cure movement penalties inflicted by caltrops, spike growth, etc.
Zeoll, in the lobster's claw, gasps as his middle is squeezed. Wounded by fire and claw, he feels he is about to die [12 hp left, so one more squeeze will likely put him into the negatives]. He could try to wriggle free, but it is clearly impossible. [CMB+3 vs CMD25 = fail on a nat 20].
Can he cast a spell? [Concentration 1d20+CL5+4Cha vs DC10+1+lobster's CMB 19 ... 1d20+9 vs DC30 ... fail on a nat 20.]
Would a laughing touch of the fey save him for even one more round? No, the touch is a mind-affecting power, and the lobster has no mind to affect. If he could even concentrate to do it. [OOC: Also assuming concentration checks are required for spell-like and supernatural abilities, so no.]
Could he even lash out with a paw, hoping to hurt the thing? [Attacking at -2 with shield and -2 grappling, Zeoll is a 1d20-3 to hit AC21 for 1d4-1. This option has a 5% chance of success on a nat 20.] And he does have two paws.
Going down fighting, Zeoll tries to claw at the monster, hoping against hope for amazing luck. [OOC: Just rolling d20s raw; too discouraging to roll those 1d20-3 and hope for 17s!]
d20=3 ; d20=2
The old liontaur bats feebly at the crustacean, completely ineffectually.

Sam casts an invisibility spell on himself. The seaspawn bares its teeth his way as he completes the spell. Now invisible, Sam stands up - yet the seaspawn keeps its gaze firmly locked on him.
Snafu turns to fly towards Magana, whilst placing a minor image of a wall behind him. He hopes to slow the advance of the lobster to the north. But will a minor image be as successful in deterring it as the major image was? (OOC: Please advise the square you with to move to. I've taken a best guess)
Jozhur takes aim at the seaspawn - but alas - it is no longer stunned! Snafu's spell lasted throughout last round but the seaspawn is back to normal now. And against a fully aware foe, only one of Jozhur's shots finds its target.
Magana can do nought but vomit what little remains in her stomach. And a few drops of blood. That can't be good.
Aex sends her flaming sphere after Lobster 1 - but the creature steps over it at the last moment (Ref Save vs DC14: 17 = Pass). Her next act is to send a bolt of lightning down on Lobster 2. The riders may not be affected by her bolts, but the lobsters sure are! (Ref saves 17 & 20)
Zeoll opts to go down swinging. It's not his usual tactic in combat, but this kitt has claws. Unfortunately his claws just aren't up to the mark today.
Terser steps away from the ball of fire to hack into the lobster (OOC: I'm assuming you meant step to AN24 not AN29?). His first target - the unusally large and sharp claw that is holding Zeoll. His attack against the claw is good and surprisingly it easily splits the limb in two! Zeoll is released, as the claw is shattered. (OOC: Your attack I'm assuming is a sunder attack - you are targetting a natural weapon - and since the lobster is grappling it can't AoO back)
Terser then turns his attention to the rider, and in a super-dwarfian display of combat, he skewers the rider on his glaive! The rider falls backwards, lifeless, upon the lobster.
Coer leps into the fray, weakened but still fighting. Fists, horns, knees - Coer throws everything he has at the lobster.
But the lobster - sans one claw - still stands.
The enemy act...
Lobster 1 - with Magana clutched in its claw - tightens its grip. Magana can feel the blood ooze from the wound and pour down her legs. And with it, she finds the soft embrace of darkness (CMB to maintain grapple: 44! Nat 20. Ouch. Magana takes 17pts damage! After DR-1, that means 16 pts damage which I think puts Magana at -1HP and dying) The lobster drops Magana's dying body onto the sandy stoney ground.
Lobster 2 has been declawed! And with no rider to direct him, it lashes out with its smaller claw at Terser, but misses miserably (Hit AC10 - Miss!)
Lobster 3 carefully approaches the wall in front of it. The lobster waits patiently for its rider to act
Lobster 4 edges his rider closer to the combat
Seaspawn 5 moves the ball-o-fire towards Terser once move (Terser to make a Ref save VS DC15 or take 9pts fire damage. Pass=No damage). It then takes aim at Coer! (Coer must make a Fort save vs DC15 or go deaf!)
With the wall now in place, Seaspawn 7 can only see one target: Aexana. It takes careful aim as it fires off a spell centred right next to her. Aex hears a deafening noise, and then feels... nothing(Aexana takes 7pts sonic damage!) With her form now back to that of a gnome, Aexana plummets 75 feet to the hard earth below (So um, with an additional 7D6 points of falling damage, Aex makes quite a mark on the ground)
Seaspawn 8 targets a square east of Jozhur and south of Zeoll. (Zeoll and Jozhur must make a Will save vs DC15. Jozhur Fail = Warped bow. Zeoll Fail = Warped Shield!)
Terser has discovered the weakspot to the lobsters. But it may be too late...
Green = Trees. Tan = Dirt & Stone. If entangle was cast I would argue there were at least some weeds present in dirt/stone areas that the spell would function. Yellow = Sand.

Zeoll sees Aexana fall -- is she clearly dead? The rest of this post assumes so ... if not Zeoll would try to help her.
But first, save vs Warp Wood: Will Save 33 passes.
Zeoll goes invisible with a move action, and then casts Cure Moderate Wounds on himself, sacrificing a calm emotions spell to do so. He cures 15 hp ... and remains invisible until the start of his next turn.

With two allies down, Snafu took action. Suddenly a ray exploded from his hand and struck the lobster on Magana. Seconds later another struck the lobster coming from the south.
Then Snafu turned and landed on the building to his immediate south. Somehow he had to get Magana out of there. If she were about 800 pounds lighter they might pull her out, but she wasn't. They needed to keep the creature distracted until healing help arrived.
Actions: -move onto roof of the building to the immediate south. -cast blinding ray on L1 and L4. Both hit... Using hero point. -if the lobsters have 8 HD or more they are dazzled for one round. Otherwise they are blinded for one round.

Terser wants to jump to Aexana's aid, but there is still a giant crustacean in between himself and the fallen gnome. Little else to do but continue the beat down.

Jeff L Snafu HP 17/53, 의 15 (T13, FF 12), CMD 16, mirror image Monday October 27th, 2014 5:10:57 PM
OOC: it would take Aex about 3 seconds to fall 75 feet. If there is any chance that my familiar can make it over there to catch Aex in time, Mojo will go for it.
Mojo can carry about 100 pounds in flight and Aex is only a gnome, so it might be possible. Though time wise... It could already be splatville
DM Rob: It's a nice thought however the action that caused the event to occur was during the enemies round (6 seconds). Meaning 3 seconds for them to cast the spell that hurt Aex, and then the remaining 3 was Aex falling.
I can't find any definitive rules on time to fall. 3.5 had "the character falls 150ft in the first round" and there seems to be a non-official consensus on the paizo forums that this has been changed to 500ft in Pathfinder
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 27 of 45) Monday October 27th, 2014 8:25:38 PM

Things are to starting to look a little dire. "Someone get to Aex and Magana, I'm afraid my healing skills are useless! "

Aex opens her eyes. Her treeshape spell has ended. She is surrounded by nature. The morning sun shining down on her, the palm trees behind her, the beach in front of her, and the azure sea lapping at the shore. The gentle sound of the waves as they break and the fresh sea air make this seem like the perfect way to spend a lazy day.
This is the island where she completed the greenmage ritual.
Did she imagine being in combat? Was that all a part of the treeshape spell?
--------------------------------
There is no doubt in Zeoll's mind that Aexana's body is lifeless. The spirit of the happy gnome is no longer in this plane. Zeoll does not want the same to happen to him. He turns himself invisible and cures some of his wounds.
Snafu moves to the building immediately to his south, and casts a blinding ray at the lobster that just attacked Magana. The lobster pauses it's actions. (L1 is blind for 1 round. There is no square you can be at that puts both L1 and L4 within 30ft of you - the range of the Blinding Ray. Please keep your hero point)
Magana feels herself at peace. The battle was glorious. She can only hope that if she meets Gargul this day that he finds her worthy.
Terser brings the pain to Lobster 2! He notices it's armor is tougher around its body than on its 'combat claw'. But that makes no difference to him. For those who have never seen a hastened raging dwarf, it is a sight to behold. Fists, knees, elbows. The dwarf is a machine that tears through the lobster.
Jozhur shrugs off the spell that targetted him with ease. All it does is make him a little tougher. Jozhur lines up a seaspawn and lets fly with another arrow, dead on target.
The enemy act...
Lobster 1 remains still, its claws lowered. (Blinded!)
Lobster 3 is spurred to proceed through the wall, but it determines the wall to be too dangerous (Will Save: 8 = Fail!). Frustrated at the lack of targets and the wall that came from nowhere, the rider directs the lobster the long way around the building.
Lobster 4 maintains its position, guarding the southern exit.
Seaspawn 5 can't spur his mount to move. Well, he could, but steering a blind mount could prove troublesome. He can spy Mojo and Snafu on the top of the building, and unleashes a ball of force against the familiar (Mojo takes 4pts damage!).
Seaspawn 7 is busy riding his mount around the building.
Seaspawn 8 dare not push his mount into the spiked growth. Instead, he casts a spell targetting Terser, Zeoll and Coer. (Terser, Zeoll and Coer must make a Will Save vs DC15. Pass: Nothing happens. Fail: Your metal equipment feels colder)

Spellcraft checks: Zeoll recognizes the Chill Metal, lol. Which he easily resists, not that he has much metal on him at all.
Zeoll, no longer invisible, targets S8 with his Hold Person spell. The save DC is base 10 +2lvl +4wis +2bloodline +2feats +1cradled = Will DC21.
Then he moves to AO-AP-20-21, thinking about taking cover behind the fallen lobster. While he is there, a finger on that wall (and a 19 Will save) suffices to tell him the wall is an illusion. With his hasted movement, he decides to keep on trucking, ending up at AK-AL-21-22.
Hopefully Perception 23 and Survival (tracking) 12 and scent will suffice to give him some ideas about where the other enemies are.

Aex feels completely at peace. Perhaps she could stay here forever? Perhaps she WILL?
--------------------------------
Zeoll drops his invisibility to target one of the seaspawn with a spell. They can see him anyway, so might as well go on the offensive. The seaspawn resists the spell, and Zeoll has a nagging feeling this tactic may not have worked anyway (Will Save vs DC21:24 = Pass. A kind DM might also nudge you to look at the DM post from Round 11. Oh, and the die roll has moved to a private post I answered so you'll just have to trust me on that roll :)). Zeoll knows the basic gist of where the enemy are. They aren't trying to be stealthy at all.
Terser takes a moment from killing things to channel some much needed energy amongst the party. If only there was a piece of equipment in the group that could have amplified his channels! Since his counterpart - Sam - is out of sight, Terser safely assumes the bard has gone invisible. That means he must be conscious. Terser turns his attention to the person next most in need: Magana.
Snafu calls out that the cloud isn't real. Of course, if the enemy understand that then it could benefit them also. Mojo summons a wind wall to carve a path through the stinking cloud whilst Snafu re-blinds the lobster. (You didn't specify which squares of the cloud so I have taken best guess. Also, please advise Mojo's HP & AC in your header. Also, please advise the duration of the wall)
Jozhur feels quite safe on top of the building, and fires a shot at the seaspawn near Magana's body. The arrow flies true, striking a major artery! If the arrow had only punctured just that little bit more...
Magana continues to bleed out on the ground, the lobster settled right next to her ready to deliver a death blow.
Sam quickly moves to Aexana's side. Though he may be invisible, the seaspawn on the lobster bares its teeth at him.
Coer throws caution to the wind and makes a run for it. Several metal items he is wearing feel noticeably colder (amulet, ring, headband, for example). Even the metal equipment he is not wearing feel cool (coins in your purse for example, crowbar, lantern, crossbow heads, etc).
Coer makes it around the corner of the building. Though he is a sizeable taur with 10ft reach, the lobster is bigger and has 15ft reach! The lobster swipes at him, but narrowly misses! (AoO Hit AC16 - Miss!). Coer though is far more accurate with his strike, delivering a stunning blow to the lobster. The lobster though, is not that stunned. (Fort save vs DC15: 20=Pass)
The enemy act...
Lobster 1 is once again blinded. Even blind it waves its claws in front of it. It can hear footsteps of someone approaching it, and blindly attacks where it believes someone is standing! (Perception to hear footsteps: 14. Miss chance 50%: 39=Miss!) The claw of the huge lobster swings at Sam, but it was expecting something bigger. The razor sharp claw snaps directly over Sam's head.
Lobster 3 makes a full attack on Coer! Though it's smaller claw misses, the larger and sharper claw connects! (Hit AC29 & Miss AC17. Free grab CMB: 39 - Nat20! Coer takes 17pts damage and is grappled!) The lobster then repositions Coer to "an adjacent square" - the square though is the one immediately to the south of it!
If anyone speaks abyssal Highlight to display spoiler: {Seaspawn 7 calls out: "I have one!"}
Lobster 4 is maneuvered by his rider back around the building. It lashes out at the grappled Coer, but still manages to miss! (Hit AC12 - Nat1 = Miss!)
Seaspawn 5 is coughing up blood, but calls on his reserves to send a force missile at Sam! (Sam takes 4pts damage!)
Seaspawn 7 and 8 each fire icicles at the ensnared Coer! (Coer takes 7pts cold damage + 7pts cold damage!)
And if THAT wasn't enough, the ice forming on Coer's metal items starts to cold-burn against his skin (Coer takes 1pt cold damage!)
Well well well. Most of the group are ganging up on L1 - and with Snafu locking it down with no sight, and Terser knowing it's achilles heel, it may be served up for lunch shortly. But will Coer last long enough?

I believe Zeoll is hanging onto the censer since he has a few more channels than I do
A blind lobster, eh? Sounds delicious. But there's also that pesky caster on top. Not fearing any retaliation, Terser charges through the wind tunnel to get in the lobster's face and strike at the seaspawn on top. Charge to AX25, Hit AC 32 for 16 damage vs S5, -2AC this round Then, using the speed granted by Snafu, he lashes out at the claw with his brick breaking cestus. Not thinking it had taken quite enough damage, he drives his fist at it again, to make sure its claw is really out of commission. All clear, Sam! Mags could really use a boost! Sunder claw hits CMD 30 for 13 damage. Hero point for a 2nd sunder if necessary, normal attack if not. Hits a 29 for 12 damage. Both hits bypass DR/hardness.

Jeff L Snafu HP 17/53, 의 15 (T13, FF 12), CMD 16, mirror image d20+9=26 ; Wednesday October 29th, 2014 1:47:42 PM
Snafu scanned the battlefield. Ma�ana was still down, but Sam was close. Terser had engaged the lobster and would likely dispatch it's rider. Meanwhile, two of his allies had gone through his illusionary wall, and, judging by the sounds of battle to the west, had engaged the other two Seaspawn.
Snafu wasn't a healer. He would need to trust Sam with that. Nor was he a fighter. He would have to trust Terser with that. The battle to the west is where he was most needed.
"Mojo, with me" he ordered as he took to the skies, flying 60' due west. Once in position he summoned another blinding ray, which struck the lobster immediately south of Coer.
Actions: -Fly 60' west. Get in position to target lobster south of Coer. -Cast blinding ray; hit 의 26. Blind for one round.
OOC: Mojo has fast healing in dusty environments. Would this qualify? If not, he'll look for some dust that he can throw in his face... Perhaps above the building?
(StevenVdB) Aexana DEAD Wednesday October 29th, 2014 2:21:58 PM
The gentle wind makes Aex's purple pink hair play around her head... the seagulls dance in the shallow water near the beach. Behind her the jungle starts... Aex is intrigued to finding out what is behind the treeline but going there possibly means not finding her way back to the beach... Out there where the Wold ends her friends are... back there in the jungle unknown adventures await...
The forest calls her... (the Woldsblood pulls the dead towards the Lands of Rest...)
Magana (Craig) [HP -16 of 81] [DR 1/-] d20=6 ; Wednesday October 29th, 2014 8:24:11 PM
( not a natural 20, Magana does not stabilize, is unconscious )
Magana does not dream of green pastures or mighty battles. She does not have her life flash before her eyes; does not have angst over past mistakes. She is unconscious. The red stuff of life seeps deep into the sand, and the spark of life is nigh undetectable.

The fight his East seems pretty much over. Jozhur turns his attention to the other side of the building. He sneaks across the roof and fires an arrow at one of the lobsters just as it comes into view.
------------------ Stealth check: 23 Attack hits AC30, 4 damage, additional 13 damage if able to target a flat footed opponent.
Preferred target is L3. If L3 is aware of Jozhur's presence he will target L4 if it is stunned or doesn't see him. Target S7 or S8 if he can't sneak attack the lobsters.

Jeff L Snafu HP 17/53, 의 15 (T13, FF 12), CMD 16, mirror image Wednesday October 29th, 2014 11:27:00 PM
OOC: quick question... If I blind a lobster this round, would it be considered flat footed on Jozhur's turn, or would it only apply the following round?
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 14 -- HP 32/48 2d8+1=15 ; Thursday October 30th, 2014 12:20:48 AM
Sam uses the wand of cure moderate wounds on Magana for 15 hp.
Ooc-Sorry for bad posting. Nome Internet has been sketchy at best.
DM RobC - Seaspawn Combat - Round 15 Thursday October 30th, 2014 3:19:54 AM OOC: Questions have been asked about 1rnd duration spells. When do they start and when do they end?
The way I have been interpreting and applying this is that a spell with a 1 round duration takes effect in the round it was cast, and expires in the caster's next round - NOT necessarily by posting order. We don't have initiative and posting order varies too much (especially if there are missed posts). You cast a spell on someone during the party turn of round 12, it will expire at the start of the party turn of round 13.
So by this approach, in Round 15 Snafu blinded a lobster. It was blind all through that round and all through its turn. Now we are in Round 16. The lobster is no longer blind. The 1 round duration has passed. Unless Snafu blinds it again, it will have perfect vision to see Terser charge it.
Does that make sense?

The forest calls to Aex. She can hear it. Feel it with every fibre of her being. It beckons her. Enter the forest...
--------------------------------
Terser charges headlong towards the seaspawn! (I'll give you benefit of the doubt that AS23 to AX25 is a straight line, with nothing that "can hinder your movement").
But Snafu has chosen to send his blinding rays elsewhere this round. The lobster can clearly see Terser approach! It snaps its claw, but alas, misses the dwarf! (AoO Hit AC16 - Miss!).
Terser is now within range to strike at the seaspawn! He does so, putting it down once and for all. He then turns his attention to the massive claw of the lobster. It takes two attempts, but he manages to sever the claw from the creature! With it's huge claw severed, the lobster now only has a reac of 10ft.
Zeoll decides that now is the time for reinforcements. Hopefully this one will last longer than the unicorn!
Snafu determines that Coer is the one in need right now. He flies to the taurs aid, and quickly blinds the lobster to the south. (OOC: Sorry, I wouldn't consider the air or rooftops a dusty environment. The ground areas though are marked as 'dirt/stone'. It's possible Mojo could take a round to stir up some dust at ground level)
Magana can feel nought but the void. Her heart beat has practically fades away. But then she feels a bolt of energy wrack her mind...
Sam has made it to Magana in time and with a touch of the healing wand, Magana is stabilised!. Magana is now at -1HP, but stable.
Jozhur sneaks to the corner of the building and takes aim at the blinded lobster (L4). His shot dead on (OOC: Note that you were not on top of the building last round. You were at AM27 as a result of the failed jump earlier. You are unable to climb the building, move to the other side of it, and shoot all in this round. And moving stealthily would halve even that movement unless you wanted to take a penalty. I'm assuming you want to attack, so have moved you to AM31)
Coer ponders whether his haste to attack more foes may have put him in an undesirable position. With no time to think about it too deeply, he starts pounding on the claw that clutches him. The claw starts to crack very easily, but it maintains its grip.
The enemies act...
Lobster 1 now finds itself without a rider and without a claw. Still, there is a tasty dwarf ready to eat. But it is far less proficient with its undersized claw, which bashes harmlessly against Terser's armor (Hit AC13 = Miss!)
Lobster 3 has Coer in its grasp. Or... did! The lobster loses its grip on the squirming taur (CMB to maintain grapple: Nat1! Auto fail! Coer is no longer grappled!). The lobster still has its smaller claw, which is quite accurate in its attack (Hit AC24. Coer takes 5pts damage!)
Lobster 4 is blind, but can hear the sound of combat in front of it. It makes a wild strike into AF29, and pierces Coer's hide! (Miss chance 50%: 98=Hit! Hit AC28. Coer takes 11pts damage!)
Coer looks down to see the tip of the lobsters claw pierce through his shoulder from back to front. The trauma is too much, even for the Captain. With a total of 16pts damage taken, Coer is at -3pts now and dying!
Neither seaspawn 7 nor 8 have clear line of sight to any foe in range, and are unable to move their mounts (assumption being that they cannot see Snafu and he cannot see them). Seaspawn 8 can see Jozhur now, but does not look to have any spells capable of striking the rogue at this range.
It looks like Magana will live to fight another day (possibly even next round!) But can the crew rally to save Coer in time?
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 29 of 45) d12=6 ; d20+14=27 ; d20-1=9 ; Thursday October 30th, 2014 7:16:16 AM
Zeoll's mind reaches out to the home of King Eberyon, pleading for help, any help, to come to the Wold from its Cradle. [OC: rolling a d12 for the summons ... 6 = leprechaun! At CN, it is two alignment steps removed from Zeoll's NG, so "it will do as you command, but it will be surly and may not follow the entire spirit of your commands." The spell lasts for 6 rounds.]
"In good King Eberyon's name," Zeoll calls to the fey in sylvan, Highlight to display spoiler: {"Please help my friends and trouble these sea things as best you can! The lobsters seem vulnerable to illusion. But be careful, oh excellent fey, because the fishy humanoids can see invisible creatures!"} [OOC: Diplomacy check, if it matters, is a 27.]
The leprechaun appears at AF20.
Zeoll wants to swap his Wis headband for the channel boster headband. He'll drop the wis headband on the ground to do so faster. Can he do that and move at the same time? How many actions will it take? Can he just choose to shake his head to let the wis headband fly off while drawing and putting on the phyalctery?
Since Zeoll has no more cleric spells left (except domain spells), the loss of wisdom will not affect his casting.
If Zeoll can also move, he moves to AM-AN-22-23 on a five foot step, or if he has a move action, he tries to climb up to AK-AL-23-24. Climb check to do so is a 9 -- the old liontaur is too weak to make it!
DM RobC: I'm happy to say that Zeoll can shake the headband from his head as a free action, if you're happy that any violent motion on the Lionfish could see the same result :) It's not a situation I've thought of, but if it's not something that is going to come up a lot, then how about we treat it like a weapon. You can 'draw it' as part of a move action. That way it also can't be abused to remove everything in one go
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 14 -- HP 32/48 2d8+1=5 ; Thursday October 30th, 2014 4:44:34 PM
Sam hastily taps Magana with the wand one last time. (5 hp healed)
He gives one last look at the mighty Terser and once again abandons his brother to save the fallen captain (assuming Sam heard some scream or yell). The invisible and speedy gnome dashes back from whence he came and heads west.
Actions Heal Magana (48 charges remain) Run west along the building's edge. (50')
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 78/78 (raging hasted AC 21, 40/92 hp)] d20+11=24 ; d20+11=31 ; d20+11=14 ; 2d10+11=16 ; 2d10+11=26 ; Thursday October 30th, 2014 7:58:18 PM ooc: cure mod wand should be 2d8+3, so 2 extra hps.
Terser steps back to be able to use his glaive more effectively (5ft to AW25) and swings away at L1. Vital Strike vs AC 24 for 16 damage Haste attack nat 20 (no confirm) for 26 damage
Jeff L Snafu HP 17/53, 의 15 (T13, FF 12), CMD 16, mirror image d20+9=21 ; d20+9=12 ; Thursday October 30th, 2014 8:22:41 PM
Snafu had very few offensive options available to him. He did have a pearl of power that he could use to recall a spell, but he wouldn't have the time to use it. He had to act now, and hope that the attack bought Coer a bit more time.
Snafu raised both arms and began casting. A blinding ray exploded from both hands, one hitting each of the lobsters that had attacked Coer.
Actions: Cast blinding ray twice (using a hero point). Hit touch 의 21 and 12 against each lobster.
Magana (Craig) [HP -16 of 81] [DR 1/-] d20+10=29 ; 2d8+4=12 ; d20+10=20 ; Thursday October 30th, 2014 8:43:46 PM
Magana opens her to a face full of sand and looks up to see the lobster still looming over her and Terser attracting its attention with some effective attacks. With a groan, she scrambles to her feet and (if possible) swings weakly at the beast.
INSPIRE COURAGE +2 hit/dmg FATIGUED (round 1 of 22) A fatigued character can neither run nor charge and takes a --2 penalty to Strength and Dexterity.
Coerator (Mark) -- hastened MAGE ARMOR AC22 (AC17/16/14) -- CMD 23 -- HP -4/80 (Ki 2/7) d20=8 ; Thursday October 30th, 2014 11:23:33 PM
Having once again been bested by seafood, Coer slips into unconsciousness. Blood drains from the gaping wound in/through his shoulder as he slowly edges towards death.

Jozhur punctures the lobster in front of him with another arrow, then slips around the corner of the building.

DM RobC - Seaspawn Combat - Round 16 Friday October 31st, 2014 12:58:07 AM OOC: Sam - Since Nat1s on healing are rerolled, it is usually best to roll 2D8 as two separate D8 rolls and add them up. I'll give you the option - if you choose - to reroll your 2d8+1=5. For all we know you may have rolled a 1 and a 3. Your call, but given the lowest possible healing on a 2d8+1 roll IS 5, rerolling sounds like a free gift :)
DM RobC - Seaspawn Combat - Round 16 Friday October 31st, 2014 12:59:32 AM OOC: Magana - Just a reminder that standing up from prone is a move action that provokes an AoO. Your call if you wish to proceed with that action...
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 14 -- HP 32/48 d8=3 ; d8=6 ; Friday October 31st, 2014 1:16:34 AM
Re-rolled healing a 6 and 3. I didn't now the modifier was more than +1. So this and last round should be more

(StevenVdB) Aexana DEAD Friday October 31st, 2014 6:04:17 AM
Aex hears and feels the forest calling to her... She wants to go find out what is on the other side...
Step by step she heads towards the forest. When near the first tree Aex takes out her sickle and carves a sign into the trunk
"Who knows... Maybe I will need to find my way back to the beach...
Then carving her way through the forest Aex walks faster and faster into the jungle. Something is calling for her and the trees tell her not te be affraid...
DM RobC - Seaspawn Combat - Round 17 d20+6=23 ; d8+3=5 ; 2d4=4 ; d20+7=17 ; d20+7=19 ; Friday October 31st, 2014 6:31:02 AM
Aex takes her sickle from her pack and carves into the tree. She intends to leave a symbol so that she can make her way back if she was to get lost. Apparently this greenmage doesn't mind disfiguring trees. The sickly makes light work of the palm tree's think bark. However where sap should appear, instead a dark reddish brown blood appears, and oozes down the trunk.
--------------------------------
Sam uses the wand to bring Magana back from the edge of darkness, before heading to the other side of the combat zone (OOC: I'm assuming you are just moving fast rather than using the 'run' action)
Terser backsteps to put some distance between himself and the lobster, before attacking it with his glaive. It may come down to the wire to see who has dispatched more enemies in this battle - Terser or Jozhur. Terser's glaive easily punctures the lobster's shell.
Snafu starts to pull out the big guns, blinding each of the lobsters surrounding Coer. With him laying helpless and unmoving on the ground, the chances of them now finishing him off are far less.
(OOC: Craig/Magana - Please see my previous note. I believe you are at less than 10HP, and standing from prone provokes an AoO. Up to you if you want to risk receiving enough damage to drop you again...)
Coer now finds himself blissfully unconscious. The pain in his shoulder has disappeared, and the stress of captaincy no longer burdens him.
Jozhur fires on the blinded lobster, before ducking back out of sight .. er .. range. (Note you do get a sneak attack on the lobster too as it is blind)
Zeoll begs for aid to be sent. His prayers are answered in the form of a leprechaun. This could be interesting... And finally, he starts to swap his headgear around. His spells are done and now he can focus on channelling healing energy.
And sure and begorrah the small little fey man - the leprechaun - appears. "Help your friends? What, who are your friends? I don't see any other linotaurs around. Shall we stop to do a show of hands?" The leprechaun rolls his eyes in exasperation.
Zeoll keeps an eye on the Leprechaun and can tell it has cast some spell or another. Spellcraft check DC18 Highlight to display spoiler: {Major Image. And since it is being used to deceive a creature, the DM rules the Leprechaun magic rule comes into effect, meaning it works at CL8 rather than CL4}.
Snafu from his vantage point sees a rather alarming sight. The battlefield now looks rife with small, snarling men in leather armor, iron shod boots and wearing blood-red pointed hats! Knowl Arcana/Nature DC16 - Highlight to display spoiler: {Redcaps! Evil sadistic fey! As if things couldn't get any worse!} Where did they come from?! Snafu can no longer see Coer's body!
The leprechaun casually follows Zeoll "So are you going to do anything or are you just going to hide?"
The enemy act...
Lobster 1 has the choice between stabbing at the downed Magana, or attacking the dwarf who took its claw. The 'kind' DM has it attack Terser! (Hit AC23. Terser takes 5pts damage!)
Lobster 3 is blind. Though it can't make any AoO, it takes a standard action to ready attack against any square in which it believes someone is approaching it. But it can't see or hear anything...
Lobster 4 does the same.
Seaspawn 7 and Seaspawn 8 don't really have any targets in sight, other than Coer. Though Zeoll, Jozhur AND Snafu could have all moved themselves into range and provide another target, all keep their distance. Zeoll and Jozhur going so far as to distance themselves from the downed taur.
Well, the seaspawn DID have Coer in sight until this mysterious fey army appeared. Fey. Why'd it have to be fey?
The seaspawn each send icicles towards separate fey targets, but fail to hurt any of them! (Will Save vs DC20: 17 & 19 = Both Fail!)
Coer's metal items continue to freeze against his rapidly cooling body (Coer takes 4pts damage from the continuing Chill Metal spell)
--------------------------------
Note: Though as players you know the RedCaps to likely be illusory, your PCs ONLY get a Will Save vs DC20 to disbelieve them IF you first interact with them. The lobsters may now also have soft-cover from the fey folk
-------------------------------- Note from DM For my sanity could you please ... - List the duration of any spells or abilities you are using? This includes spells, 'rage', spell-like abilities, etc. Since we are at round 17, I'm thinking durations may be relevant. - List the spells/slots/abilities you have available for use. Healing Channels, Blinding Rays, spells, etc. - List the stats (AC, HP) of any familiars you may have.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 44 of 45) d6=6 ; d6=3 ; d6=1 ; d6=6 ; Friday October 31st, 2014 7:32:16 AM
Zeoll dons the phylactery (move action) and then moves to AI-AJ-21-22.
He laughs when he sees the redcaps.
"Brrilliant!" he says to the leprechaun, replying in Common since that is what he spoke to Zeoll, right? "Please keep it up! The lobsterrs and those rriding them arre the enemy. All else are frriends! Thank you so much!"
[OOC: DM Rob, really? Those things beat every Will save I throw at them, then BOTH belive these illusions!?! Wowsy!]
Then Zeoll uses a hero point to get an extra action, and he uses it to Channel, centered on his utmost southwest corner. The 30 ft burst should affect Coer and Lobster L3 (but not the uninjured S7) and maybe Snafu if Zeoll has line of sight. And of course himself.
Channel Energy heals 15 points! Sweet!

Hoping the situation behind the buildings to the West is going well, Terser focuses on finishing off the lobster in front of him but can't seem to line up anything. Perhaps the drunkenly swaying taur is distracting him.

Jozhur wants to help his captain, but the rogue is of little use if he's dead. He slings his bow and quietly pulls himself onto the building, trying to stay out of sight of the enemies to his west.
---------------- Add 19 sneak attack damage to L4 from last round Climb check: 25 Stealth: 33
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 44 of 45) Friday October 31st, 2014 5:48:21 PM
OOC: Kindly DM Rob, I can still modify my turn until the DM Post, right?
Before Zeoll moves, he calls to Jozhur and Sam, "Guys, end yourr move within 30 feet of me!"
When Jozhur climbs the building, maybe he can end his move, say, on the roof 30 ft from the northern eave. Don't know Sam's plans, but maybe this can cure him too.
Then when Zeoll finishes his move, he does two new things: (1) He puts his forepaws against the side of the wall, and he holds his tower shield (his holy symbol) as high up as he can. Maybe the top edge will peek over the edge of the roof, putting Snafu and Jozhur within LOS of the Channel. (2) Then he delays his channel (delay action) until his channel can reach as many friends as possible.
Note that Jozhur did not give a map location for the end of his double move. Maybe he can edge north a bit?
OOC to DM: Highlight to display spoiler: {Yes, I am trying to get as many PCs in the Channel as I can! }

"Redcaps!" Snafu yelled out to his allies. "Evil Fey, and there are a lot of them. Watch yourself down there."
Snafu wanted to help Coer, but he couldn't possibly blind all of the lobsters and Redcaps. Hopefully, they would think Coer was dead. Wait... was he dead?
Snafu cast Mage Armor, sharing it with Mojo. He then drew has bow and said a quick prayer.

The Wold turns in front of her eyes... colours fade... return brighter than ever... turn grey... lighten...
The greenmage sinks to her knees...
"What's happening?" she asks the trees...
DM RobC - Seaspawn Combat - Round 17 Monday November 3rd, 2014 5:06:44 AM OOC:
Hi Guys,
Googledocs is giving me grief. I've been trying to update the map, but after 30secs the spreadsheet locks up. I then refresh and the same thing happens. Over and over again. It also means I can't access the module writeup in Googledocs for all the enemy stats! I'll keep trying over the next hour or two, but if it doesn't work then we may need to miss a day. Sorry!

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 44 of 45) Monday November 3rd, 2014 10:45:01 AM
Just before making his heroic effort at a channel, Zeoll does one last check on his position. Can he reach Coer with his healing energy? Oops! Maybe he is off by a tiny bit? He takes a step or two as needed to ensure that the big taur is in range for the healing effect.

Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 78/78 (raging hasted AC 21, 35/92 hp)] Monday November 3rd, 2014 11:57:56 AM checkin until DM has the ability to post. I'll be enjoying my bday until then ;-)
Jeff L Snafu HP 17/53, 의 15 (T13, FF 12), CMD 16, mirror image Monday November 3rd, 2014 2:02:20 PM
What's the Woldian record for most times knocked out in a single battle? MAGANA IS HARDCORE!
Magana (Craig) [HP 4 of 81] [DR 1/-] Monday November 3rd, 2014 3:42:52 PM
Aex watches the blood ooze from the tree. She asks them what is happening, but they don't answer her. Not a single tree or plant will speak with her. The blood that has run down the tree makes its way to the ground, where it starts to pool.
On her knees, Aex can see her reflection in the reddish brown pool. But the face she sees is not hers. Or at least, not hers as it should be. The face she sees is greatly aged. Pale hair and a wrinkled face. But there is no mistaking it. That is Aexana!
-----------------------
Magana rises - practically from the grave - back to her feet. Her blow connects, but not with the force she had hoped for. She swings her flail again (this round) connecting only once.
Terser tries to finish off the lobster, but misses on all counts.
Zeoll heads westward to get into a position to heal Coer. Doing so means exposing himself to danger, but he's ok with that. To get into the best position to heal Coer, unfortunately means that Snafu and Jozhir are outside the range of the burst. Sam and Coer though (and Zeoll, obviously), all benefit from the energy channel. As does lobster 3.
Jozhur climbs up the side of the building and starts to make his way carefully along the rooftop. There isn't a position Zeoll can maneuver to (outside the Red Caps) to be able to heal both Jozhur and Coer. THe dying Captain's needs will have to come first.
Snafu goes defensive, casting a mage armor spell on himself and sharing it with Mojo. This was turning out to be a tough battle. That he managed to go this long without mage armor is a testament to his growing skills.
Coer focuses his ki to improve his defence before he regains his footing. Both lobsters strike at him, but both miss! Refusing to go down without a fight, Coer punchs the healed lobster one more time.
The leprechaun for his part snaps his fingers in the air, and turns invisible!
Lobster 1 now finds two foes opposing it - the dwarf and the minotaur. And the minotaur just took a big chuck of shell off it! The lobster fights back with its inferior claw, and hits Magana again! (Hit AC23. Magana takes 11pts damage and is dying once more!)
Lobster 3 is surrounded by Red Caps, but only one thing tried to hit it this round. Zeoll has moved in to range for a claw to reach him, bbut the Red Caps are in the way. The mindless creature simply attack the creature that last attacked it - Coer! (Hit AC27. Coer takes 11pts damage and is dying once more!). With its second attack it tries to hit one of the Red Caps, but the fey are very tricksy (Will Save vs DC20 to disbelieve: 15 = Fail again!)
Lobster 4 attacks the fey around it. It's claws snap left and right, and the fey look to be taking damage (Will Save vs DC20 to disbelieve: 6 = Fail again!)
Seaspawn 7 fires an icicle at Zeoll! (Auto hit. Zeoll takes 4pts damage!)
Seaspawn 8 fires an icicle at the Red Caps that stand between it and Coer. The seaspawn's eyes narrow as it realises the truth of the situation (Will Save vs DC20: 25 = Pass!)
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 40 of 45) d20+5=12 ; d20+9=20 ; Tuesday November 4th, 2014 6:41:11 AM
In a way, Zeoll is glad to be hit by an icicle. It implies that, like the heroes of the Lionfish, the enemy is also running out of things to cast!
Checks to figure out what this icicle thing is. Spell-like or supernatural? Bloodline or domain power? Divine or arcane? How many can it likely do? How many has each one done?
Know Arcana: 12 Spellcraft: 20
Hmmm ...
Zeoll looks around to see what his friends do. He shouts to Jozhur, "Aim at the BIG CLAW!"
OOC: Using the delay action.
DM Rob: I think unless Jozhur has ranks in Sharpshooter, he can only attempt to sunder the big claw with a melee weapon
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 40 of 45) Tuesday November 4th, 2014 10:03:53 AM
Darn it!

This fight has to end quickly. Everyone's energy is running low, friends are going down left and right, and the only hope is that the enemy is running down as well.
He manages one last mighty flurry against the lobster, then spends a channel (hero point) to keep Magana afloat before running off to assist the others.
Standard action - attack lobster. AC 32 for 22 damage, haste attack vs AC 24 for 21 damage Hero point - channel energy for 3 healing to me, magana, and the lobster (if it's not dead) Move action - 60 foot with haste bonus, end at AL32

(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 9/55 d20+11=18 ; 4d6=16 ; d8+2=7 ; d20+14=20 ; Tuesday November 4th, 2014 10:53:45 AM
Jozhur creeps along the top of the building until his enemies come into view and is surprised to see the sea of redcaps. His bow twangs and another arrow flies...
------------------ Correct Rob, Jozhur can't perform a ranged sunder and will be crushed to a pulp if he attempts a melee sunder.
Stealth: 20 Attack hits AC18, 7 damage plus 16 if stealth was successful.
Jozhur will prefer to continue targeting L4, which will result in a miss. However, if the redcaps provide partial cover to the lobsters, even from his elevated position, he would choose to target one of the seaspawn riders and score a hit.
Magana (Craig) [HP -4 of 81] [DR 1/-] Tuesday November 4th, 2014 2:27:02 PM
Magana is brought low yet again, but immediately stabilizes due to Terser's timely healing.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 40 of 45) Tuesday November 4th, 2014 2:29:13 PM
Can we get a duration check on the Haste spell please?
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC23 - HP 40 of 45) Tuesday November 4th, 2014 4:09:20 PM
Zeoll has to decide if he should channel energy or something else. He is afraid that he will not do much good if he brings Coer up just to have him fall down again. And it heals the lobster, so there's that?
He tries to figure out if there is any way for him to include Jozhur and Snafu in the blast of healing energy?
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 14 -- HP 32/48 Tuesday November 4th, 2014 10:22:20 PM
Sam finds himself stuck in non-action. He has no idea where the new creatures have come from and no confidence that he'll be able to overcome them in combat. He holds his position to further evaluate the situation.

Zeoll counts on the redcaps to continue to distract the lobsters. And with the one near him blinded, it cannot take AoOs any more! He decides the group needs both curing and help. He channels energy, curing 14 hp to everyone within 30 ft. Then he takes a step back five feet away from the lobsters, and then he undons his shield.

Aexana can see her hands in front of her. They look completely normal. Yet in the reflection of the bloody pool, they look frail and old. A vision of things to come? A vision of things that may no longer come?
--------------------------
Terser unloads, splitting the lobster shell in two ... dozen pieces. He draws on his heroic reserves to find the power to channel some healing energy to Magana. This dwarf is about death AND life.
Magana goes to the brink of death yet again, but is pulled back to life.
Jozhur gets into sniping range. The lobster hasn't seen him (Perception: 16), so his shot comes as a surprise. But the creature's tough shell deflects the arrow (Hitting AC18 isn't enough to beat a Flat AC20)
Sam stays put. It's a safe spot, he can see Terser and he has Zeoll by his side. There could be worse places to be right now.
Snafu edges closer to Zeoll. He can tell the linotaur will be channeling some more healing energy soon, and Snafu could certainly benefit from it. From his new position, he unleashes another blinding ray at the lobster.
Zeoll believes the icicle to be a spell like ability granted by the clerical 'Water' domain. They could still have a number of those up their sleeves. Whatsmore, given the power of the icicle and the spells that have been cast so far, it is a fair bet that these seaspawn have more spells at their disposal. Perhaps they cast them before combat? Perhaps they rely on very close combat to cast?
But the taur is conflicted. He needs to help Coer, but every time he does so he also heals the lobster! Throwing caution to the wind, Zeoll unleashes his energy channel (Coer, Snafu, Mojo, Zeoll, Sam and Lobster 3 are healed for 14hp)
Zeoll isn't quite sure where that invisible leprechaun has gone, but he must be here somewhere...
Coer lies on the sand drooling (OOC: Sent you an email. Zeoll healed Coer and he can act normally if he chooses. Note you provoke an AoO from L4 if you choose to stand up)
The enemy act...
Lobster 3 is blind! It can't see anyone nearby, so it readies itself to attack into the nearest square it can hear something. It lashes out at the Red Cap at AE28 (D12=11. There are 11 squares occupied around the lobster, so #11 is at AE28. Will Save vs DC20: 16=Fail again!)
Lobster 4, isn't. It attacks the Red Cap between it and Coer, and seems to realise something is 'up' (Will Save vs DC20: 20 = Pass!). It edges closer to Coer.
Seaspawn 7 fires an icicle at a nearby Red Cap and now comes to the same realisation that the other seaspawn has.
Seaspawn 8 - with no other target in range - fires an icicle at Coer! (Coer takes 9pts damage!)

Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) Wednesday November 5th, 2014 11:18:58 AM
Zeoll uses his last hero point to make an extra move action. He moves to AM-AN-22-23. He calls out to the leprechaun in sylvan, "Most excellent Sirr Leprrechaun, they arre seeing thrrough yourr rredcaps! Please do something to help me! Another trrick, please, or some attack!"
Then he casts his Summon Fey Friend I, using a first level sorcerer spell slot to do so.

Terser moves around the corner to where the fighting is happening and is momentarily stunned by the horde of creatures around the lobsters. He shakes his head a bit and realizes that something tricky has made some sort of illusion Will Save 20, pass . Still, he plays it off as well as able, pretending to shove a couple aside so that he can attack the lobster. Between his initial confusion and his playacting, his strike flies wide by a mile. He should leave the theatre to Sam.
Move to AG23 bluff to shove aside illusory redcaps - 6 attack vs L3 - 14 is a miss

Jozhur launches an arrow at the blinded lobster, but it just bounces off its hard shell. Frustrated, the rogue just slips out of sight.

(StevenVdB) Aexana DEAD Wednesday November 5th, 2014 3:45:24 PM
(ooc man do I hate not being part of this epic battle!! Sorry friends... Hang in there!! It's no fun on 'the other side')
Aex watches her hands... then the reflection in the puddle of blood...
"What's this... is this me years to come? Is this my soul?!? Have I done so wrong that my soul is aged and twisted? How can this be... Where are my friends... "
Aex looks around to see where her friends might be... she checks to go back to the beach... she hasn't gone far into the jungle yet has she? But... there's no trace of the coastline! In all directions she sees this vast jungle... she only carved in one tree... but blood oozes down from more trees!!
"WHAT'S HAPPENING!!!" Aex shouts in fear... she's near to panicking... in every puddle of blood she sees her own aged self. wrinkeled. ugly. Grey hair instead of her purple pink sparkly hair! This can't be happening!!!
Magana (Craig) [HP -4 of 81] [DR 1/-] Wednesday November 5th, 2014 6:15:50 PM
Magana makes a successful bleed attack on the turf beneath her.

Aex begins to panic. Has she done something wrong? Is this how she IS destined to look? Or WAS destined to look? Where is everyone else? The trees she once looked to for solitude have taken that desire to the extreme. All alone. Isolated. With nothing around but the trees.
-------------------
Coer finds the ground beneath him about as stable as the deck of the Lionfish in a squall. He goes down fighting, attempting a stunning fist on the lobster. His blow connects, but the lobster is not stunned (Last rounds attack by Coer applied. Fort save vs DC15: 20=Pass) He hits the dirt once more, where his body has the presence to stabilise.
Snafu takes a moment to let the healing flow. Perhaps getting a little too comfortable with it? He brings himself back to the present, and blinds the lobster once more.
Zeoll begs the leprechaun to do something. What did it do while invisible? In the mean time, he backs up some more and begins to summon additional help.
Terser moves around the corner and can now see the commotion. Red Caps everywhere. (Terser, even if you believe you know, please make a Will Save vs DC20. If you believe the Red Caps to be real, you cannot end your turn in their square. If you pass your save, your action can happen as planned)
Even Jozhur is having difficulty striking a target! His aim is fair, but the shell of the lobster is just too strong!
Magana does her best to make sure that she leaves something behind on this island, as her blood stains the ground.
The leprechaun appears next to the blind lobster (his stealth check of 39 can't be beaten by the blind lobster's perception). "Who went and made this critter blind now? Ruined my plan!" The leprechaun casts a spell, targetting the seaspawn (Will Save vs DC14: 8=Nat1!) The seaspawn is stunned by colourful display!
The enemy act!
Lobster 3 is blind, but it lashes out blindly a the enemies around it (12 enemy squares around it. d12=1. The leprechaun! Miss chance: 48=Miss! d12=2. A Red Cap! Miss chance: 75=Hit! Will Save vs DC20: 19 = Fail again!)
Lobster 4 knows what's going on. It moves around the Red Caps to strike at the Leprechaun! (Hit AC13 = Miss!)
Seaspawn 7 is stunned by the glowing colours
Seaspawn 8 simply fires an icicle at the leprechaun (Check vs SR: 24=Pass. [i]Leprechaun takes 6pts damage!)
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) d12=7 ; Thursday November 6th, 2014 6:21:04 AM
Zeoll completes his spell by appealing to King Eberyon for more aid ... and the call is answered this time by a ... lawful evil mite!
It appears at AH22.
Knowing that diplomacy will get him nowhere with this fey, Zeoll shouts at it in sylvan, "Mite, you were sent by the Fey King to help me! Shoot darts at these lobsters! Only at the lobsters! Do not try to shoot anything else! Just shoot darts at lobsters, avoiding my friends! The things on the lobsters are not friends!"
Then Zeoll casts the same spell again.

Taking advantage of the stunned seaspawn, Terser steps in to introduce it to his glaive.

Header correction
Zeoll's spell brings forth - oh no - an evil mite! (Ah ha! = Summon Fey Friend)
Realising the evil nature of the fey, and that it will twist his words, Zeoll tries to be as specific as he can. Attack the lobsters! Just the lobsters!
The mite grins as it finds the loophole it was looking for, and shoots a dart directly at one of the lobsters! The dart hits perfectly - however, since the mite targetted one of the lobsters that had already been killed, the dart makes no difference. The mite looks innocently to Zeoll.
Zeoll begins casting the spell again - hopefully with a better result.
The leprechaun tries to cast a spell defensively, however he is unable to maintain his concentration and loses the spell! (Concentration check: 14 = Fail!). With a worried look he backs up a few steps.
Terser steps closer to the lobster in order to jab at the seaspawn, and does so with great effect. However the seaspawn was stunned last round, and the leprechaun failed to stun it again this round.
Jozhur pops out to take another pot shot at lobster #3, but the lobster has keen sight and has begun to predict the rogue's movement(Perception check vs DC23: 24 = Pass!)
Sam makes it to Magana and once again pulls her away from Gargul's grasp.
Snafu continues his relentless assault on blinding the enemy. But with everyone else targetting lobster #3, perhaps his ray was wasted.
And Coer? Well, Coer still draws breath. His body is battered, his blood has been spilt, but he still draws breath.
The enemy act...
Lobster #3 attacks Terser with both claws, yet both miss! (Hit AC14 & AC18 - Both miss!)
Lobster #4 is blinded, but prepares to attack anything that gets too close to it!
Seaspawn 7 has Terser striking at it. It prepares its rapier to defend itself (Total defense: seaspawn 7 gets +4 dodge bonus to next round)
Seaspawn 8 scratches its chin as if it has forgotten something. Then it occurs to it! Another bolt of lightning from the sky, and once more at Snafu and Mojo! (Mojo to make a Ref save vs DC16 or take 7pts electric damage! Snafu to make a Ref save vs DC16 or take 10pts electric damage! Pass your save and you take half-damage). How many more bolts does the seaspawn have up its sleeve?

[OOC: Thanks for the link, clever DM Rob!]
Zeoll's next Summon Fey Friend calls forth, by the grace of the Fey King, a ... another Mite! Thanks, oh my king, thinks Zeoll.
"You Mites!" calls out Zeoll, in sylvan, "Please attack the living lobsters, only those lobsters, and nothing else! Please do not harm me or my friends! Thank you, in the name of the King!"
And since the spell is about to release the leprechaun, Zeoll calls out to it, also in sylvan, "Thanks to you, Sir Leprechaun! I, Zeoll, once a student to Shaman Frith, a former warrior to Pride Nonowla-That-Is-No-More, and long-lost son to Clan Aene, Chosen by Domi in years long flown, Enemy of Marteaus, retired Iron Adventurer of Hook City, now a humble Servant of Queen Maab, and Cradled by the Fey King, owes you a favor!"
Then Zeoll casts his last sorcerer spell -- Another Summon Fey Friend!

A rapier is no defense to a weapon such as the glaive wyvern's bane, as Terser proves by shattering the seaspawn's defenses. He keeps his weapon ready in case it decides to cast a spell, almost hoping it does so he can finish it before his own strength fades.

Coer successfully maintains his lack of consciousness
Aex comes to the rational conclusion that panicking will get her nowhere. She decides to peer into the pool of blood (?) and search for answers. Now that she concentrates she can make out more than one reflection - or image - in the pool. She sees herself aged, in the background she sees herself as a child playing happily in fields, to the side she sees herself shapeshifting and fighting in Gullport. The more Aex stares, the more images of her life come into view. And what's more, images that may yet to be. An aged Aexana sitting outside a small cottage in the woods. A not so aged Aexana clinging to the ropes of the Lionfish and sailing the many seas and oceans of the Wold.
The question though - is what does Aex make of this? Does she view her life - as short as it was - with pride? With regret?
Aex Highlight to display spoiler: {Gargul will be answering your request, but that will have to wait until combat is over. Until then, I will try and give Aex some things to ponder and work through}
------------------------------
Zeoll rephrases his request, hoping the mites will not find another loophole with which to turn his words.
Snafu and Mojo both deftly lean aside to let the bulk of the lightning blast hit the rooftop at their feet. Snafu casts his last blinding ray of the day, and fortunately it strikes true (You didn't specify a target so I will assume Lobster 3 - which then aids Terser and the Leprechaun)
Jozhur shot is fair, but not fair enough. The arrow glances off the lobsters hard shell.
Magana takes a moment to top up her strength with a potion. There are no enemies in sight, so now is as safe a time as any.
Sam aids Magana some more. What better defence (or offence?) is a healthy, angry taur on your side?
Coer maintains his steady breathing, oblivious to the danger that surrounds him.
The first mite reluctantly fires a dart at the blinded lobster - with amazing accuracy (Hit AC22 - Nat20, failed to confirm crit with 18. Lobster 3 takes 2pts damage!)
The second mite isn't nearly as accurate. Perhaps his heart just isn't in it (Hit AC11 - Miss!)
With the lobster blinded, the leprechaun takes his chances and casts a colour spray. Since the lobster is blind, only the seaspawn can be affected - and he is (Will Save vs DC14 - 9 = Fail! Seaspawn 7 is stunned!)
The stunned seaspawn drops its rapier, and is now practically defenseless to Terser's strike!
With his deed done, the leprechaun can now hear Zeoll give him a thanks and a farewell. The leprechaun sighs, and drops something to the ground before he vanishes. By all accounts, it looks like the headband Zeoll took off and dropped to the ground earlier. That sneaky little leprechaun...
With the disappearance of the leprechaun, the illusory red caps also vanish.
The enemy act...
Lobster 3 is blind, but knows Terser is standing nearby. Those pesky Red Caps have gone so it only has one target to attack - two if you think it would be cruel enough to finish off Coer. But even a mindless creature knows the biggest threat is the target still moving. It lashes out blindly at Terser! (Miss chance 50%: 81 & 99 - Both successful. Hit AC24 & Miss AC11. Free grapple attempt: 20 = Nat 1. Terser takes 15pts damage!)
Lobster 4 approaches Terser now from the side. It's claw though fortunately misses him this time (Hit AC19 = Miss!)
Seaspawn 7 is stunned by the light display of the now departed Leprechaun.
Seaspawn 8 though still has his senses. And from his new position can target any number of foes. The big linotaur, for example, looks a nice target. And he does seem to be concentrating on casting a spell. A bolt of lightning from the sky lands directly on Zeoll! (Zeoll to make a Ref save vs DC16 or take 14pts electric damage! Pass your save and you take half-damage).
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 78/78 (raging hasted AC 21, 37/92 hp)] d20+11=19 ; d10+11=14 ; d10=7 ; Monday November 10th, 2014 1:10:08 PM Well, first things first.
Terser takes advantage of the stunned seaspawn and hopefully finishes it off. hit ac 19 for 21 damage - hopefully connects with the loss of dex and -2AC from stun.
He doesn't have much left in him, but he intends to do all he can while he's still standing. 5foot step to AF24 to be in AoO range of S8 if it casts.
last round of rage!

Jozhur peeks over the edge of the building again, hoping he isn't noticed this time, until it's too late. He looses another arrow, which finds a gap in the lobster's shell.

Jeff L Snafu HP 26/53, 의 26(T20, FF 17), CMD 16, mirror image, total defense Monday November 10th, 2014 3:46:20 PM
Snafu couldn't muster the power to generate another blinding ray and he was virtually out of offensive magic. Yet, he had to find a way to help Terser.
With no other options Snafu and Mojo flew down to ground level and faced the nearest lobster and Seaspawn. "Looks like lobster is on the menu boys!" Snafu said as he raised his hands as if he was going to cast another blinding ray.
'Take the bait' Snafu hoped, for if the creature charged it might leave itself vulnerable. More importantly it would buy Terser time, and potentially bring the enemy closer to Magana. It was almost enough to make Snafu feel sorry for their enemy. Almost, but not quite.
Actions : -Fly down to AL 18 with Mojo. -Issue challenge to L4 and Sea spawn -use Total Defense +6 dodge bonus to AC with acrobatics; still have 4 images and Mojo has 6

Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 14 -- HP 32/48 Monday November 10th, 2014 10:42:20 PM
Sam restarts his inspiring song and heads back towards the fallen Coer. The captain must not fall! Then to check on his gnome friend...
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 40 of 45) d20+8=11 ; d20+9=12 ; d6=5 ; d6=2 ; d6=2 ; Monday November 10th, 2014 11:30:17 PM
"Excellent work, Mites," says Zeoll. "Do the exact same thing again."
Reflex saving throw is 11 ... failure! He takes 14 electrical and his spell is ... ruined?
Concentration check 12. Yup, ruined.
Zeoll moves to AQ24 and channels energy, healing himself, Magana, and Sam for 9 hp healing!
Terser springs into action, jabbing at the seaspawn. Though it was stunned last round, it has regained its senses for this round and is able to deflect Terser's blow. The approach of the other caster sees Terser sidestep to get closer to him (Note that you are 15ft from the caster. Per the rules, every other diagonal square counts as 2x)
Jozhur is far more accurate this round, his arrow finding a definite weakspot in the lobster's armor.
Snafu decides now is the time to act as bait, hopefully drawing the enemy to him and away from the injured people who tried to save him. Unfortunately the lobsters are quite mindless. He would need to be closer than anyone else to really be viable bait.
Magana rejoins the battle! She makes her way across the battlefield, pausing to stand beside Aexana's corpse. In all the action, Magana missed the fact that the gnome had been slain!
Sam stays at Magana's side, his inspiring words ringing loud in her ears (You didn't specify a position on the map, so I just assumed next to Magana)
Coer's mind wanders, and he finds himself dreaming of the days he would spar with his master.
Zeoll loses his spell, but bids the mites continue their work. He maintains his composure, and waits until Magana and Sam are close enough to benefit from some channeled energy.
The mites reluctantly do as ordered and target the lobster's again, but both miss their mark by a lot. (Hit AC3 & AC16 - Both miss!)
Lobster 3 is no longer blind! It can clearly see Terser now, but it's claws do not connect with the dwarf (Hit AC17 & AC10 - Both miss!)
Lobster 4 though can see Terser AND can strike him (Hit AC21 & Miss AC19. Free grapple: 25=Pass. Terser takes 14pts damage and is grappled!)
Seaspawn 7 fires an icicle from his finger tips at the grappled Terser! (Touch attack hit AC12. Terser has AC14, but with the -4 Dex penalty from being grappled, I think AC12 is a hit. Terser takes 5pts cold damage!)
Seaspawn 8 has lost sight of the tricky linotaur. But now it has a nice little dwarf approaching it. It calls down a bolt of lightning directly atop Terser (Terser takes 12pts electric damage. Ref Save vs DC16 for half. Note the -4 Dex from being grappled)
Jeff L Snafu HP 26/53, 의 20(T16, FF 17), CMD 16, mirror image 4 images Tuesday November 11th, 2014 9:10:10 AM
Snafu's attempt to lure the creature out failed, and Terser paid the price. How much more could the Dwarf endure?
As Snafu pondered that question he heard Sam's song, and he turned to see a charging Magana. She was a ghostly shade of white and covered in vomit and blood. How was she still standing? Who were these gifts from the Gods that Snafu would now call his allies.
Without thinking Snafu yelped "charge!" and he and Mojo closed to within a few feet of the grappled lobster. Once there Mojo opened his mouth and sent a cone of dust at the lobster and his rider, while Mojo started casting. A moment later an explosion of bright lights and color enveloped the enemy.
Actions: -Mojo and Snafu move (fly) to 의-AD 19; no AOO due to grapple -cast color spray on L4 and sea spawn; will save DC 18 -mojo breath weapon; 15' cone; reflex save DC 15; d4 damage and sickened form3 rounds on failed save, if save is successful half damage and not sickened
Magana (Craig) [HP 41 of 81] [DR 1/-] d20+12=24 ; 2d8+6=18 ; Tuesday November 11th, 2014 2:28:59 PM
Although saddened by Aex's apparently spectacular death, Magana takes courage from Sam's song and marches determinedly toward battle. (move to AH20-AI21)
Her flail swings slowly in her grasp in anticipation of her next attack.
In case it is relevant to people's attacks - the seaspawn shows no ill effects from Snafu's colour spray. The lobster, however, is STUNNED! Terser is no longer grappled!

DM RobC - Seaspawn Combat - Time to take toll Wednesday November 12th, 2014 6:04:50 AM OOC: Based on posts from the past few days, I'm going to assume that interest in this combat has waned. If the game isn't fun for you, then I need to do something, so....
It takes a great effort - the party start to finally work together as a team. Casters and archers combine with the brute force of the muscular warriors.
Seconds seem like hours. Who knows how long this battle went for, but at the end of the day the party are victorious.
As the last enemy falls, exhaustion sets in and the weight of your limbs and equipment feels all the more great. The spells that were cast and maintained also take a mental toll. Sam's voice begins to grow hoarse just from singing songs for so long.
Coer's body lies unconscious, bleeding but stable.
Aexana's on the other hand is lifeless.
As for the enemy, well, 8 seaspawn, 4 coral golems, and 4 huge lobsters. All dead. Not a bad day of hunting.
For the moment, the town is quiet.

OOC: not fun? That was an awesome 22 rounds of combat.
IC: Snafu collapsed with exhaustion when the battle was finally over. He had drawn almost every drop of magical energy he had stored, and spilled a bit of life blood as well. His body yearned for rest.
But what if there was another wave of attacks? This thought got Snafu back up on his feet and into the air. He needed to let the healers heal, while he scouted.
"I'm going to scout the perimeter. Make sure more enemies don't surprise us. We need to attend the fallen, search the enemy and move on before we are discovered. I'm not sure we'd survive another attack today."

Ooc-I was fine with it, but I can only describe running between two PC's and needing to heal them in so many ways. Sam had little to offer in the battle as most of his sells were ineffective and he doesn't have physical attacks.
Magana (Craig) [HP 41 of 81] [DR 1/-] Wednesday November 12th, 2014 1:48:06 PM
(ooc: I was fine with the way the battle was proceeding also)
As the last enemy is slain, Magana falls to her knees, exhausted and breathing raggedly. She is fairly sure she's never had to push herself this hard in battle her entire life.
After a few minutes, she pushes herself back to her feet and begins to patrol the perimeter around her surviving comrades, watching for a new attack.

Sam taps Coer with the cure moderate wounds wand. (9 hp healed on Coer).
He then gets to Terser's side and taps him also. (13 hp healed on Terser with a rerolled 1)
With Terse and the captain alive (barely), Sam passes the wand back to Magana. He finds himself at the fallen Aexana. The gnome kneels next to the Druid and gingerly runs his fingers through her hair. He notices the shell bracelet that he had given her and how happy she was to get it. He knows what must be done, but fears the consequences of petitioning Gargul.
"We have to bring her back. Let's take her into one of these huts and beg Gargul for her life."

Th magical energy from the wand courses through Coer and shocks him awake. He opens his eyes to the remains of the lobsters and seaspawn and Sam, hustling to Terser's side to tap him as well.
Pulling himself to his feet, slowly, he tests his battered body. "Still in one piece. I guess we won."
Taking a head count he finally kneels beside the fallen body of Aexana. "We will bring her back if we can. Gargul does not bargain cheaply."
He picks up the lost hero and takes her into a hut to begin preparations.
"Someone see if the dead hold any secrets."

Jozhur is obviously holding back some tears as Aexana is hauled off. Time to go speak with Gargul again.
"I'll see if they have any information with them."
He searches the seaspawn for documents or anything that could mean something. He will grab anything of value while he's at it. He also takes a moment to examine the crabs.
When he stumbles across Zeoll's headband, he puts it on and wonders how long it will take the old Liontaur to notice.

DM RobC - Seaspawn Combat - Time to take toll Thursday November 13th, 2014 4:35:07 AM
Aex feels herself at peace and at calm amongst these trees. Leaving this area could be difficult. She feels almost at home. As if this is where she was meant to be.
Snafu and Mojo set to securing the environment. Two waves of enemies could just be a scouting party. And when they fail to check in - whenever that might be - more could be on the way.
Terser is swiftly brought back from near-death by a touch of timely healing from Sam.
Magana is thoroughly exhausted. Never has she battled so hard. Had she died this day she is certain Gargul would have embraced her and welcomed her to a glorious afterlife. But now is not the time for daydreams. She joins Snafu in establishing a perimeter.
Sam heals the dying and barely living, before coming to terms with Aexana's fate. She is with Gargul now. It's possible that the God could be petitioned to see her return to this realm. But at what cost? Sam suggests taking Aexana into a nearby building to perform the ritual. Hopefully someone here has a spell or means of raising the dead.
Coer rises, but as he rises his head falls. One of the crew has passed on. Gargul can be merciful, but alas, he holds all the cards.
Jozhur maintains control of his emotions - outwardly at least. He searches the seaspawn, and lays anything that may be of value out for the party to see. Alas, there are no notes or documents that may give insight into the enemies actions.
Zeoll casts Detect Magic, and is almost blinded by the sheer number of magical auras in the area. Not only are there fading magical auras on the seaspawn and lobsters, but practically everything that Jozhur stripped from the seaspawn radiates magical energy:
1 x Trident 5 x Rapiers 1 x Flail 1 x Bastard Sword 1 x Amulet 1 x Pair of Boots 1 x Brooch 1 x Set of Chimes 1 x Cloak 1 x Small bag of dust 1 x Small token of a Tree 1 x Pair of GLoves 1 x Hat 1 x Horn 1 x Incense Stick 1 x Necklace 1 x Ring 1 x Rope 1 x Pair of Slippers 1 x Jar of liquid 3 x Scrolls (yes, all of this is magical)
In addition, Jozhur and Zeoll are able to pry a small pile of pearls from the coral golem remains. An appraise check may give a better idea on the value.

Spellcraft=20 on a take 10
Magana (Craig) [HP 54 of 81] [DR 1/-] Thursday November 13th, 2014 1:43:31 PM
Magana is starting to feel almost well again with Zeoll's additional healing, and she nods gratefully to the old liontaur, but she is startled as she overhears Coer's intent to bargain with Gargul for Aex's life. Although she had heard her companions talk about doing such in the past, she had assumed this was figurative, not a literal process.
Sorely she is tempted to follow Coer and learn how he might entreat Gargul, but sticks to her duty of guarding the living.
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) Thursday November 13th, 2014 3:02:02 PM
OOC: Zeoll nets a 20 with spellcraft taking 10 with Detect Magic and Guidance cantrips.
Zeoll helps to figure out what magic the group has gained. He picks up the Wisdom headband he had dropped, and stows it away.
He too is cautious and wonders if the party will encounter the sea god itself, or if Ga'al will return.
OOC: After all, the module is named "Gods Among Men" -- that's godS plural. We can expect at least one more god, right? :-)
Magana (Craig) [HP 54 of 81] [DR 1/-] Thursday November 13th, 2014 3:32:06 PM
(ooc: Cayzle: Jozhur already picked up the headband and is playing a game of hide and seek with Zeoll regarding it. Perhaps Zeoll's vision is so bad that he picked up a chunk of seaweed and placed it on his head? lol )
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) Thursday November 13th, 2014 3:58:46 PM
Zeoll looks around. He saw that headband when the leprechaun dropped it. Did the rogue pick it up again when he was not looking?
Those tricksy fey.
Well, the one he is wearing now to boost his healing is maybe better.
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 9/55 d20+6=14 ; Thursday November 13th, 2014 4:21:19 PM
Jozhur looks over the pearls, "These seem valuable." (Appraise: 14)
Unable to torment Zeoll for long, Jozhur hands over the headband when he sees the Taur searching for it.
"So can perform a ritual to let us speak with Gargul?"
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 24/78] d20+2=10 ; Thursday November 13th, 2014 4:47:55 PM Appraise 10, Spellcraft 0Oooo shiny baubles. Aren't those of some use when petitioning to raise the dead? Terser gasps for air between overexerting himself and almost dying. There are a few new scars to add to the collection. When Sam goes to find some way to petition Gargul, Terser picks himself and stands guard, in case any unexpected enemies should present themselves. Do try to be more respectful to Lord Gargul this time, Sam. Aexana wouldn't want any others to suffer on her behalf any more than I did.
The battle itself was great - though I agree with Sam. There's only so many ways one can run around and hit things. Also some confusion about timing on stuns and such. They lost actions, yes, but the AC penalties never seemed to apply. Just think it could use some clarification.
Also I agree with Warren. The combat was a good challenge, but the way stuns and such worked was odd. Lack of initiate rolls is going to make things different, but it seems it would be simpler to have the stun or whatever be in effect starting with the next DM post, so we have a chance to know if the enemy made the save or not an d we can act accordingly.
I don't like posting a bunch of conditions for my characters actions, such as if E1 fails his save, attack it, if not move to X, stealth check and attack E2.
Otherwise, I had no issues with it.
Coerator (Mark) -- MAGE ARMOR AC21 (AC17/16/14) -- CMD 23 -- HP 18/80 (Ki 2/7) Friday November 14th, 2014 3:07:18 AM
After laying Aex in a bed Coer exits the hut to speak with his friends. His head hangs low and is visibly upset.
"I have only ever seen an audience with Gargul granted by using a scroll. Is there another way - that we can seek him out?"
DM RobC - Seaspawn Combat - Time to take toll Friday November 14th, 2014 6:56:14 AM
Sam is the first to try to attempt to identify the items. He identifies the following: 4 x +1 Rapiers 1 x +1 Adamantine Flail 1 x Amulet of Natural Armor +2 1 x Boots of the Winterlands 1 x Brooch of Shielding 1 x Gloves of Swimming and Climbing 1 x Hat of Disguise 1 x Horn of Fog 1 x Periapt of Health 1 x Rope of Climbing 1 x Slippers of Spider Climbing 3 x Scrolls of Raise Dead
Sam is unable to identify the following items (with a 20 on a Spellcraft check), however someone else may try to identify them today: 1 x Trident 1 x Rapier 1 x Bastard Sword 1 x Set of Chimes 1 x Cloak 1 x Small bag of dust 1 x Small token of a Tree 1 x Incense Stick 1 x Ring 1 x Jar of liquid
Magana has heard of people speaking with Gargul before, but never face to face. Could she (would she?) dare look upon the face of her god?
Zeoll looks - and eventually finds - his headband. If it isn't leprechauns it's rogues. Everyone has sticky fingers.
Jozhur does his best to appraise the pile of pearls. Truly a worthy haul. There must be at least 6000gp worth of pearls there!
Coer sees that Aex is laid carefully in a bed. The gnome's lifeless body has started to grow cold. His prayers may have been answered, in that not one, but three scrolls have been found that may serve the purpose of raising Aexana from the beyond. Of course, then there is the matter of bargaining with Gargul. One hopes he will be in a good mood.
Terser cautions Sam to be on best behaviour when they / if they meet Gargul again.
-------------------------------- OOC: Folks, feel free to try and identify the remaining items if you can. Otherwise I'd really like to encourage you to get cracking on resurrecting Aexana. Steven VdB has been on the sidelines for a while now so let's get him back in the party :)
Jeff L Snafu HP 39/53, 의 20(T16, FF 17), CMD 16, mirror image 4 images Friday November 14th, 2014 7:54:38 AM
OOC: sorry I missed yesterday.
Snafu had been scouting when he caught sight of the pile of booty. "Wowsa! That's quite a haul. Let's go take a closer look. Or better yet, how about I take a closer look while you maintain the perimeter." Mojo obeyed reluctantly, for he loved shiny stuff.
OOC: Snafu has an 18 spellcraft, so I can get a 28 when taking ten.
DM RobC - Seaspawn Combat - Time to take toll Friday November 14th, 2014 8:18:25 AM OOC: With Snafu's identification, you are able to discern the following items: 1 x Trident of Warning 1 x +1 Keen Rapier 1 x +2 Bastard Sword 1 x Chime of Opening 1 x Cloak of the Manta Ray 1 x Dust of Dryness 1 x Feather Token - Tree 1 x Incense of Meditation 1 x Ring of the Ram
However, still to be identified is the mysterious: 1 x Jar of liquid
(StevenVdB) Aexana DEAD Friday November 14th, 2014 8:37:59 AM
Not sure Aex qualifies for the Xp reward as she euhm... Didn't quite survive the battle...
Anyhow, I'm looking forward to meet Gargul... Nervous perhaps...
Alone in the forest Aex has a day-dream... She sees herself in a diminuitive animal shape on Magana's back... helping the tank with spells and throwing around lightning on her own.
"Wouldn't that be something! I would be able to heal, buff and attack while benefitting from concealment...
What do you guys think? ...
...
Where is everybody?!"
Sam (David W): 14/12/13 -- CMD 14 -- HP 32/48 Friday November 14th, 2014 1:55:02 PM
Sam solemnly names the items he can. The battle's story repeats over and over in his mind. He questions himself and his actions. Could he, a tiny bard, have saved Aexana. With Terser's warning in mind, Sam's heart fills with dread. Gargul punished him once. It pretty much broke him. What will Gargul say to him this time. Does a god get so busy that he forgets transgressions?
Sam takes his place at Aexanna's side. He sits on his knees and prepares to start a petition to Gargul for his pricely, but worthwhile gift...if the gift is chosen to be given.
Magana (Craig) [HP 54 of 81] [DR 1/-] Friday November 14th, 2014 2:06:06 PM
Magana responds to Coer with an uncertain tone of voice. "I will lend my prayers if you think it will help but I, too, have no idea how to bargain directly with the God of Death."
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) d20+10=22 ; Friday November 14th, 2014 5:58:20 PM
Zeoll tries to ID the jar ... a 22?
He tells Magana and the group that usually a Raise Dead spell cast on the corpse will open a gate to Gargul's Realm. From there, all will have a chance to enter, meet the god of death, and bargain or plea for the return of Aexana.
"But it does not always worrk that way," Zeoll says. "I myself did not so much barrgain as I was given a quest by the god, yearrs ago when I came back. And my frriends werre not therre. Also, I have hearrd that sometimes otherr spells will suffice to open the gate. We can trry otherrs. Let me sleep on it and I will seek guidance."
That night, Zeoll seeks to divine in his dreams the best way to reach out to Gargul to ask for a favor.
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 24/78] Friday November 14th, 2014 9:44:15 PM
Terser prepares himself to plea for Aexana's life. He also carefully studies the ritual needed to raise her, striving to learn some bit of magic so that he can better utilize his own growing powers.
Jeff L Snafu HP 39/53, 의 20(T16, FF 17), CMD 16, mirror image 4 images Saturday November 15th, 2014 8:45:53 AM
"I will study this jar later. Sam, perhaps you can inspire me to do'a more complete investigation?"
Mojo remembered the net that he thew early in the battle and went to retrieve it. After that, he would focus on scouting the area from the most suitable vantage point. Perhaps one of the rooftops?
Coerator (Mark) -- MAGE ARMOR AC21 (AC17/16/14) -- CMD 23 -- HP 18/80 (Ki 2/7) Sunday November 16th, 2014 1:26:58 AM
Coer hears the news that a scroll has been discovered that may allow an interaction with Gargul and smiles for a moment.
"There is hope then." he says before walking off, his brow furrowed, mulling over something.
As he wanders he collects his crossbow from the dust
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 22/55 d20+10=15 ; Monday November 17th, 2014 2:27:03 AM
Jozhur looks over the loot with his mouth ajar. "This is all magical?"
I've met with Gargul a couple times. He seems very literal, choose your words wisely, he will hold you to your promises. I'll keep an eye out, call for me when the ritual begins."
He climbs back onto the same roof he had fought from and sits with his bow in his lap, wondering if he should put more stock in archery...it just seems so much safer. (Perception: 15)
DM RobC - Ready to raise the dead? Monday November 17th, 2014 4:15:23 AM
Where is everybody? That is the question most pertinent to Aexana right now. Not just where are the crew of the Lionfish, but where is everyone else? Where is anybody else? Is she all alone? Is she in limbo, destined to walk the Wold until she has some sort of major epiphany?
The crew look ready to perform the ritual at Aexana's bedside here and now.
Coer is hopeful. The means to a resurrection have been found. But that is only half of the battle. Bargaining with Gargul is no easy feat. And one must have something to offer.
Sam has taken his place by her side, and Magana has offered to lend her prayers. Perhaps Gargul will look kindly if one of his followers are present?
Terser is steady, and ready to begin the ritual/pleading also.
Jozhur climbs back onto the familiar rooftop and readies himself for further trouble.
Snafu determines that he will examine the strange jar and its contents later. He too takes a rooftop position to keep an eye out.
Zeoll is the only one who wishes to wait. The taur is not willing to trust his instincts on this, and would rather the divine voices who guide him offer their counsel.
----------------------- OOC: Folks, please discuss amongst yourself about how/when you wish to proceed. If you wish to risk waiting until the next day, I will need your watch order as well as where you will position yourselves about the town
Zeoll (Cayzle) (AC18 - HP 45 of 45) Monday November 17th, 2014 11:18:14 AM
Zeoll worries about using a scroll that is too powerful for the party to read. "I can give it a trry," he says, "But I worry about backfirre. That's one rreason I wanted to seek guidance overrnight. But maybe it would be wiserr to hurrry?"
Zeoll will go along with whatever the group consensus is. [OOC: At CL6, Zeoll may make a mistake reading the CL9+ scroll. Kindly DM Rob, what's the CL on those scrolls?]
Terser (Warren G) [22/13/19 -- CMD 23 -- HP 24/78] Monday November 17th, 2014 12:26:30 PM Don't worry, old man. You're wise enough to use any magic if you set your mind to it. Just be confident!
(StevenVdB) Aexana DEAD Monday November 17th, 2014 5:39:36 PM
Slowly images begin to return to Aex's memory... she sees giant crabs... her friens all bloody and battered... she hovers high above the fight... then suddenly she fails a burning pain! The ground rapidly closes in on here!!
WHAM
then nothing... She's back in the forest...
"I died?! "
Magana (Craig) [HP 54 of 81] [DR 1/-] Monday November 17th, 2014 5:54:16 PM
Magana takes it upon herself to speak as a student of Gargul's philosophy. "Gargul would want us to face the death of our comrade without fear. I can only assume her possible return to life should be faced without fear as well. Let us then proceed immediately, without hesitation or misgivings."
Jeff L Snafu HP 39/53, 의 20(T16, FF 17), CMD 16, mirror image 4 images Monday November 17th, 2014 11:19:40 PM
"I'm just a guy that you rescued under some rubble" Snafu said. "Bring back your friend. We'll keep watch."

"I'm just a guy that you rescued under some rubble" Snafu said. "Bring back your friend. We'll keep watch."
DM RobC - Ready to raise the dead? Monday November 17th, 2014 11:42:09 PM OOC: The scrolls are of the 5th level cleric spell "Raise Dead" at CL9. So Zeoll would have to make a Caster Level check of DC10 to cast the spell from a scroll. And there are three scrolls, so failing on 1 would mean 2 more opportunities. Failing using those, do the party have any other way to contact Gargul?
(Brock) Jozhur AC20/15/15--CMD 20--HP 22/55 Tuesday November 18th, 2014 2:09:34 AM
Jozhur hops down from his roof to join the others. "Let's go bring Aex back."
Coerator (Mark) -- MAGE ARMOR AC21 (AC17/16/14) -- CMD 23 -- HP 18/80 (Ki 2/7) Tuesday November 18th, 2014 5:06:09 AM "Lets begin as soon as possible. We don't know if Billopol still has forces in this area." Coer returns to Aexana's side and awaits the ritual.
