Rust (Su) A rust monster’s antennae are a primary touch attack that causes any metal object they touch to swiftly rust and corrode. The object touched takes half its maximum hp in damage and gains the broken condition, a second hit destroys the item. A rust monster never provokes attacks of opportunity by attempting to strike a weapon with its antennae. can attempt a DC 15 Reflex save to negate this effect.

Unfortunately Dhastrach is a sucky cleric when it comes to channeling... once per day, no more. Here goes (used after the second round of the worse storm) Channel positive energy:3d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 4) = 10
Dhastrach is also very happy to burn his happy stick (Wand of CLW) as much as is needed to keep the cattle alive. The wand has 45 charges, and by all means I can use all of them. Those sticks are cheap.
"Currsed be this unholy land!" Dhastrach yells, frustrated at the unnatural storms of the Cinderlands, "what imbeciles inhabit this god forsaken, barren land?"
Surprised by Theo's mention of Yamatsumi, Dhastrach turns to him, quizzed. "Funny that you brring up Yamatsumi. In these parrtss of the worrld most would assume Gozreh to be behind these storrmss. But I admit Yamatsumi's porrtrrayal fitss these incidents much betterr."

So you could heal a 2nd cattle, 3rd cattle, and 4th cattle, the rounds you're not channelling? and i heal up 10 from your channelling so only at 16 damage, the oxen i'm taking care of. #1, would be at 17 damage, 0 non-lethal.
Don't worry too much on the cattle. I left it a bit vague because I wasn't too concerned with and I was actually thinking just a pair to help supplement Rairbanks in pulling. So, lets say a total of 4 charges and they are good (and the channel) and the rest is for you guys. Also keep in mind like was mentioned, a single Cure spell heals an equal amount of lethal and non-lethal damage at the same time.
After braving the Cinderlands’ ferocious weather, you finally arrive at the area that that these so-called land sharks are supposed to inhabit, though with all the storms and natural conditions of the burned wastelands, your ability to track them is limited.
Luckily for you, suitable food for the beast is scarce in these parts, making yourselves rather good bait to call one forth, and it doesn't take long at all before just that happens. It begins with a soft rumbling underfoot, at first you fear another hazard from the skies, or worse, something new, but you quickly notice it seems to be following a small path, circling around your sled, and you quickly dismount, hoping to direct it to a more open area, (and avoid destroying your sled and taking your cattle and fleeing beneath the stone, glass, and sand).
Perception DC 19:
Gets you a Surprise Round.
And now that you can (well in a second) see it, I'll give another check to ID it.
Know Arcana/Survival DC 12:
This creature is commonly called the landshark because its fin often cuts a distinctive wake behind it like that of a shark. It burrows rapidly, and it can launch itself from the soil. Its tunnels are often referred to as “shark holes.” Someone already got this one earlier, but I didn't want to repeat what was essentially said in character. You know I is a magical beast, and huge. Oddly, however, while not a natural animal, it's possible that things like Wild Empathy might just work, especially if supplemented with suitable food.
Know Arcana/Survival DC 17:
The foul-tempered creature attacks prey much larger than it, and there is usually little left of its meal, as it consumes bone and even armor and weapons. The bulette’s preferred tactic is to charge, launch itself in the air, and then land. It has a Burrow Speed and also Tremor Sense, allowing it to "charge" from below ground to attack, not unlike a shark leaping from the water to catch prey. Despite it's many advantages and superb defenses, it's one weakness is likely it's weak will.
Know Arcana/Survival DC 22:
The creature is generally nocturnal and sleeps in craters called “drifts” during the warmest parts of the day. It is most often found alone or with a mate. Higher Tier there are 2 with template. Fun, fun. A Bulette's bite is incredibly powerful, even for its size, daling 1.5 Str and Crit Range is 19-20, in addition to claw attacks.
Know Arcana/Survival DC 27:
Bulettes hunt an area in a circuitous pattern, keeping crater-like drifts in different areas to rest along their routes. By checking the creature’s scat at the drift’s bottom, you can tell how quickly the creature will return. Fresh droppings indicate the creature may still be in the area; very dry droppings indicate it may be returning soon from its circuit. However, scat that is dry on the outside but moist within indicates the creature may not return for some time. +12 Natural Armor.
The rumbling beneath your feet stops for a few seconds, but suddenly, some 60ft away, you see, what actually does appear to be a sharks fin cutting through the crystal shards and dust and sand, and it's heading right at you. . .
Something else interesting, although it will not eat them for whatever reason, a Bulette wants to kill Elves and Dwarves on sight.
Definitely will need to heal some... doing math...
Ok, with Dhastrach's channel after round2 and no other healing. And including the 4 fire damage from earlier in the day. Everyone will come out of the other end of the storm with a total of 31 damage (3 of which is nonlethal)
Little Foot uses his wand of CLW on Fairbeaks and then on himself.
HP 24/60
Oloch will also heal up using his Wand of CLW (7/10 Charges left) Cure Light Wounds:1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 Cure Light Wounds:1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 Cure Light Wounds:1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 HP 55/60
Oloch looks around at his party members ...
"Does anybody else need more healing?"
Cure Light Wounds (wand):1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 hp 39/43
Here occurs the channel (10 hp healing), hp 39/43 still Cure Light Wounds (wand):1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 hp 41/43
Cure Light Wounds (wand):1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 hp 39/43
So after Dhastrach has used four (4) wand charges to heal himself, he turns to others, if needed. But I reckon we don't need to worry so much about the oxen - mainly because micromanaging is horrible - I won't mark down any charges used on oxen.
Although not quick enough to catch the landshark off-guard, he gives his comrades a word of advice. "Rready spearrs, if you have them!" Dhastrach shouts, "these thingss charrge with theirr teeth! And Celie, put it to sleep!"

Guilford downed his potion of CMW after the end of the secodn storm.
CMW:2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 6) + 3 = 13
Still feeling worse for wear Unless someone has some wand charges they don't mind sharing. he utters an arcane phrase as soon as the landshark appears. His spell generates a feeling of increased energy and speed in his allies.
Cast haste. Can reach all allies, not counting me or Fairbeaks.
Seeing the fin come closer, the majority of the massive armored beast is still below ground,50% Miss Chance for now <01-50% = Miss>,but coming at you fast.
I'm going to say it's a Move Action to free Fair Banks from the sled's attachments, or a Standard Action for it to do it itself.
Male Kitsune Male Kitsune Ninja 7 ( hp 5/52; AC 20, t 16, ff 15; F +5, R +11, W +3; Perception +10; Low-light vision )
I guess i'm going to ready to attack it when it surfaces. I'll ready to burn a ki and throw a fiery shuriken at it when it surfaces. DC 17 Reflex:2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7 fire
Finally, the beast leaps from beneath the ground, causing a cloud of dust and a spray of the tiny crystal shards. It pops up 10ft from Oloch then leaps overhead, attacking everything in it's path with it's muscular, taloned legs beneath it's armadillo-like plated body.
As it flies over head, Oloch manages to take slash it twice with his greatsword, using the flat of the blade more like a club, but still, quite effective for his intent. Celie's magic touches it's mind, but fails to grasp it in the way she had hoped, and the juggernaut continues it's assault. Ramen suddenly forms a flaming shuriken from nothing, flinging it with furry, but it, out of sheer luck, bats it away as it soars by.
Now seeing the creature fully, it looks like some combination of a armadillo mixed with perhaps a rhino, though it lacks that creatures massive horn, it makes up with it with it's massive beak-like mouth, not unlike a savage turtle's.

ki charge:
Ki Charge (Su): A ninja with this trick can invest a portion of her ki into a single thrown weapon, such as a shuriken, and throw it as a standard action. The thrown weapon explodes on impact in a 5-foot burst, dealing 1d6 points of fire damage plus 1d6 points of fire damage for every four levels of the ninja above 2nd, to a maximum 4d6 at 18th level. Creatures caught in the blast receive a Ref lex save to halve the damage. The DC of this save is 10 + 1/2 the ninja’s level + the ninja’s Charisma modifier. If the thrown weapon hits a creature, that creature takes a –2 penalty on the saving throw. If the thrown weapon misses, treat it as a thrown splash weapon. Using this ability expends 1 ki point from her ki pool.
Oops been a while since I used it. I thought it was relex half, but it's a bit more complicated
charged shuriken:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 151d2 ⇒ 2
still, guess that misses. So it's a fair narration of it.

On my next turn I'm going to full speed tumble to the opposite side (around the bullette, not through his space) and ready to attack from flank w/ oloch or Celine if she threatens.
Oops been a while since I used it. I thought it was relex half, but it's a bit more complicated
[dice=charged shuriken]1d20+10; 1d2
still, guess that misses. So it's a fair narration of it.
Ok, that's not terrible. As a splash weapon, normally it would be a d8 to determine what square it lands in, but, as a Huge Creature, it doesn't matter, it still hits it, for half.
Also, don't forget the +1 from Bless and +1 from Haste. Sadly, still not enough to hit, but made it a bit closer.
Round 2
<Haste & Bless (+2 Attack, +1 AC, +1 Refl, +1 Save vs Fear, +30ft, +1 Attack on Full Attack> Oloch (-14)
----------------------------------
Bulette (-3/-36 nl)
----------------------------------
Theo/Fair Banks (/), Guilford (), Ramen (), Dhastrach (), & Celie (-14)
Round 2HP 41/60 Haste, Bless
Oloch grunts as the Bulette wounds him on the way through; then grins, turns and charges back into combat ...
Greatsword:1d20 + 13 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 13 - 4 + 2 = 14 for Nonlethal:2d6 + 11 ⇒ (5, 2) + 11 = 18
... and is not nearly as effective this round.
DC would be 10 + 1/2 level + int for the base save (So ya, 16 for Celie) ... but she might have some other things factoring in to raise it higher
I'm a bit confused about turn order, with all the readied actions (some that triggered, some that did not), as to who's turn it is.
But working on the assumption that since Theo's action didn't trigger, he's on the same initiative as before, and thus goes after the critter...
Little Foot watches the land shark's entry with some surprise, not quite expecting its reveal to be quite so destructive.
He quickly barks a command at Fairbeaks and starts towards the battle. The Axebeak immediately takes off in the other direction, moving surprisingly quickly on its long spindly legs, circling around the far side of the bulette, in obvious contrast to the dwarves much shorter strides.
Free action to command Fairbeaks to flank, then double move closer to the action (neither will make it there this turn)
edit: Oh, forgot about haste... guess Theo was moving quicker... don't want to provoke though, so will still approach cautiously
Oh, and I shifted all the tokens on the map 40' to the right... 'cause I had nowhere to move Fairbeaks to =) Hope that's alright.
Sorry, I was miss reading the hex... and didn't see a DC, so i didn't put it on there. But now that i look back at it, yes there is a DC of 100... i mean 16.
As Oloch rushes at the landshark, it whips around and take a quick bite at him, causig him to miss with his swing, but avoids being biten in half himself.
[I]Afterwards, it turns it's attention on all those surrounding it, it's greatest threats for the moment, again biting at Oloch, and then clawing at both Ramen and Celie
Round 3
Looks like Guilford and Dhastrach got skipped in Round 2, so please, feel free to act now.
<Haste & Bless (+2 Attack, +1 AC, +1 Refl, +1 Save vs Fear, +30ft, +1 Attack on Full Attack>

----------------------------------
Bulette (-16/-36 nl)
----------------------------------
Theo/Fair Banks (/), Guilford (x2), Ramen (-10), Dhastrach (x2), & Celie --->>>(-28)<<<---
Rounds so far:
Here's what I've seen so far:
Surprise Round
Guilford - Casts Haste <does not count against duration>
Ramen - Readies Fire Shuriken
Celie - Begins to cast sleep into next round
--------------------------------------------------------------
Round 1
Oloch - Readies to attack when it appears
Theo - "frees" Axe Beak and Readies if it comes close
Guilford - moves and draws wand
Ramen - moves a bit and continues to Ready
Dhastrach - moves, draws warhammer, and casts Bless
Celie - finishes casting Sleep <fails>, no other action
--------------------------------------------------------------
Round 2 This is where the confusion comes it as the Bulette didn't emerge until it's turn on this round, where some of the Readied Actions kick in. I'll definitely keep that in mind for the future. My apologies.
Oloch - takes attacks as it goes by
Theo - moves to positions
Guilford - no action yet May have skipped on accident
Ramen - Readies to move to position and sneak attack, flanking with Oloch
Dhastrach - no action yet May have skipped on accident
Celie - uses Misfortune
--------------------------------------------------------------
Round 3 (now)
Oloch - Charges
Theo -
Guilford -
Ramen - <readied action goes off from last round>
Dhastrach -
Celie -
---------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, the bulette is looking a bit slow and staggered, as most of the damage has been non lethal, but it's not ready to keel over just yet. Celie, you may seriously consider Withdrawing next round just to be safe. One more 5ft step will get you out of its 10ft Reach, but that's still pretty close for how much damage you have, and thing could change.
The dwarf grunts as Guilford casts his spell on him. "Best get clear, this beasty's getting a bit riled." He mutters, barking another command at the axebeak.
Suddenly Fairbeaks charges into flank with an angry screech.
Hastes lasts just 1 round per level. Remember I can only haste up to 5 creatures, so I got all the party except Fairbeaks.
Ok, the reason I ask, similar to with Celie's Hex, is there are so many things out there that can modify things, Favored Class Bonuses, Class Features, etc. . . and it's easy to miss. I don't want to short change people, so I just want to confirm. So it ends after your turn on Round 5.
Celie takes a 5 foot back then looks at the beastie. "You've been a bad boy, Now go to sleep."This is the slumber hex, before it was a sleep spell. DC is 16 will.
