Dinetta looks at the chest with a wary eye.
Not sure this is even a chest. Might be a creature that disguises itself as a chest. Strange that it would have taken up home in this deserted shipwreck.With that, Dinetta will step back, drop a stone into her sling and fire at the chest to see if it is a chest or actually a creature.
Attack-sling: 1d20+9
Damage: 1d3
--> if Sneak because of flatfooted -- Sneak Damage: 2d6
The 21 hit but it is not FF, it surprised attack when you tried to touch it. It's disguise is +30, so I didn't need to roll it out when you failed to perceive it's nature.
The 21 did hit though.

Poulain tsks and looks for signs of a trail from the traitor. Live in comfort ability to take 20 for 35.
Jean you walk over to the breach, you picked up the trail easy enough. Plus, there are a few of Davkas' items by the hole that descend deep within the surmount. From top looking down you can see it is quite deep and it twists in a few spots.

Who ever had the ability to let one member redo an initiative, I transferred that over to Dinetta this combat since she is the next arcane spellcaster. Tell me who to switch it to going forward.

RD 1 Killer Chest
The Chest's lid quickly snaps at Dinnetta,
slam: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14;damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Adhesive (Ex) A killer sea chest exudes a thick slime that
acts as a powerful adhesive, holding fast any creatures or
items that touch it. An adhesive-covered killer sea chest
automatically grapples any creature it hits with its slam
attack. Opponents so grappled cannot get free while the
killer sea chest is alive without removing the adhesive
first.
The chest missed it's attack.

RD 1: Dinetta action resolved
Startled by the chest's movement, Dinetta steps back and instinctively uses her sling, the tiny bullet sticks firmly to the chest.
Dinetta Cillara |
Dinetta would have attacked with her sword and then retreated rather than stepping back. I did not realize the first slam was an attack, actually thought it was some type of trap. If she can withdraw farther, she would have moved back further rather than attacking with the small sling from 5' away.
Marcus Nightsky |
Marcus will back away from the chest and follow Poulain if the chest cannot give chase.
If not Xbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
What the hell is that thing
Dinetta Cillara |
Thought I had. Just reread and realized my comment was before I realized it was a monster.
Dinetta calls out.
Be careful. It is sticky. Shoot the chest-monster.

RD 2: Killer Chest
The wounds from Dinetta's sword knit back up as the creature moves up closing the gap, then it attacks the librarian.
slam: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26;damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
There is thick sticky ooze coming from the killer chest, if it hits...
it automatically grapples. Anyone hit cannot get free without first removing the adhesive.
Dinetta Cillara |
Round 2
Suddenly finding herself stuck, Dinetta curses and begins to attempt to free herself by removing the adhesive.
--> No clue what type of an action this is.
Marcus Nightsky |
ROUND 2, INIT 21
Marcus loads up and fires on the sticky chest thingermerbober
Xbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 Thwack: 1d10 ⇒ 1...egads
Revhi |
Revhi rolls her eyes, and in one smooth motion takes out her crossbow and fires at the living chest.
Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 5 - 4 = 20
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5
baldwin the merciful |
Revhi's fluid action with her bow is impressive and the arrow pierces the chest causing some of the barnacles to chip off. I have your attack roll as 20-4-2=14 for firing into melee and cover.
Since Dinetta is basically attached to the chest the creature has soft cover -2 attack with bow and you are firing into melee - 4 unless you have precise shot.
Killer chest's AC 16, but it has -4 AC/dex penalty for the grappled condition.
A grappled creature is restrained by a creature, trap, or effect. Grappled creatures cannot move and take a –4 penalty to Dexterity. A grappled creature takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks, except those made to grapple or escape a grapple. In addition, grappled creatures can take no action that requires two hands to perform. A grappled character who attempts to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler's CMB + spell level), or lose the spell. Grappled creatures cannot make attacks of opportunity.
A grappled creature cannot use Stealth to hide from the creature grappling it, even if a special ability, such as hide in plain sight, would normally allow it to do so. If a grappled creature becomes invisible, through a spell or other ability, it gains a +2 circumstance bonus on its CMD to avoid being grappled, but receives no other benefit.
Revhi |
I've already accounted for firing into melee, didn't realize it had cover though.
Wait, crossbows crit on a 19!
Confirm: 1d20 + 5 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 - 4 - 2 = 2
Never mind haha.
Jean-Phillipe Poulain |
longbow: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 - 2 = 18damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 Poulain fires an arrow that strikes the creature hard.

Dinetta Cillara |
Cursing to herself: They don't have chests of glue in the library. Dinetta decides that offensive is the only option. With that, she weaves her hand holding the rapier around before jabbing at what she hopes is a vulnerable spot.
Feint(Improved Feint as move action): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 - 2 = 15
Damage: 1d3 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (5, 3) = 14 <-- extra 2d6 if sneak works
baldwin the merciful |
RD 3: Killer Chest
Some of the chest's wounds knit back together while slams the librarian again,
slam: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 - 2 = 26;damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
The librarian grunts in tremendous pain, she then frantically tries to bluff her opponent, and she succeeds as her rapier pierces.
Dinetta make a Reflex save DC 17
Your sword is adhered to the chest and will not budge. To pry the weapon off you will need a DC 17 Strength check next round.
Dinetta Cillara |
Suddenly getting concerned by the amount of abuse she is taken, Dinetta calls out to her companions.
Some help here or I will not be reading any more books.
Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Feeling her weapon become stuck, Dinetta releases the rapier and draws a mithral dagger from her belt. <-- this is next round, just typing for color.
Marcus Nightsky |
ROUND 3, INIT 21
Marcus will move behind the librarian and attempt to pull her away.
Can I do this defensively?
Not sure what kind of check this is
baldwin the merciful |
Marcus, and others, the monster rule states: Opponents so grappled cannot get free while the mimic is alive without removing the adhesive first. A weapon that strikes an adhesive-coatd mimic is stuck fast unless the wielder succeeds on a DC 17 Reflex save. A successful DC 17 Strength check is needed to pry off a stuck weapon. Strong alcohol or universal solvent dissolves the adhesive, but the mimic can still grapple normally. A mimic can dissolve its adhesive at will, and the substance breaks down 5 rounds after the creature dies.
That being stated, I will permit you to try to rip Dinetta from the adhesive similar to weapon with DC 17 strength check, but that will do 1d3 of damage to her as flesh is left behind. :-)
It's going to take both hands to try to pull her free, I don't think you'll be able to do it defensively. I'm happy to reconsider if you can link me rule.
I'll let others assist in the strength check.

Hmm..well I have not had much luck shooting it so what the hey
Str Check(DC 17): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7...oh crap

Jean-Phillipe Poulain |
bow attack: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 2 = 27damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 Poulain fires another arrow at the mimic.

RD 4: Killer Chest
The nasty creature wounds begin to knit close as it plays tug-a-war over it's latest meal. Not wanting to lose it's delicacy to the monk the creature opts to pin it's pry rather than inflict the killing blow.
pin: 1d20 + 9 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 5 = 29
Now having complete control over his meal.
A pinned creature is tightly bound and can take few actions. A pinned creature cannot move and is denied its Dexterity bonus. A pinned character also takes an additional –4 penalty to his Armor Class. A pinned creature is limited in the actions that it can take. A pinned creature can always attempt to free itself, usually through a combat maneuver check or Escape Artist check. A pinned creature can take verbal and mental actions, but cannot cast any spells that require a somatic or material component. A pinned character who attempts to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability must make a concentration check (DC 10 + grappler's CMB + spell level) or lose the spell. Pinned is a more severe version of grappled, and their effects do not stack.
Casting Spells while Pinned: The only spells which can be cast while grappling or pinned are those without somatic components and whose material components (if any) you have in hand. Even so, you must make a concentration check (DC 10 + the grappler's CMB + the level of the spell you're casting) or lose the spell.

ROUND 4, INIT 21
In light of the creature pinning our poor librarian,Marcus backs away deciding that killing this thing is the best option.
Heavy Xbow: 1d10 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 3 - 4 = 6....Bad time for bad rolls
Dinetta Cillara |
Round 4
Now quite concerned about her survival, Dinetta begins to attempt to extricate herself from the creature.
Escape Artist: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
But is unable to make much headway against the creature.
Someone kill this thing.

It is usually easier to make good rolls if you use a d20 rather than a d10.
