Only because it's grappling Ko does Kiltem's spear strike home in the inky water. The creature's other tentacles writhe from the hit! Kiltem can tell his thrust didn't wound the thing severely, but it certainly had an effect.

Seeing Ko pull his blade he cries out, Ha! did you stick it?

Ko Miss: 1d100 ⇒ 74

Ko accepts the tentacle around him, but responds with violence. He stabs violently with his dagger, and feels it sink to the hilt! confirmed crit. Kiltem can't follow up unfortunately.

Lucky swims backwards a bit, but finally gets control over his stomach. No longer nauseated.

Lucky delays, hoping for an opening to flank and deliver a sneak attack should his comrades shift a bit.

Round 4

The druid tries to curse but just lets loose an angry roar ROAR! , he is furious as he sees the monster bite down savagely on his friend Ko. The druid hopes he will have time for healing after this devil octofish has been slain.

The bite opens a gaping hole in Ko's thigh. He feels his life's blood pulse into the water's inky blackness. His vision ebbs like the tides lapping around him. Kiltem's battle cry echoes in the distance. He expects this moment, the moment of his death, to yield some revelation. Not finding it, he knows...this is not his end. Ko smiles at the beast, awaiting its death, and his salvation.
not taking an action. hoping you guys take this thing out.


MAP TEMPLATES | Social Combat | War for the Crown | Campaign Tracker |

1d100 ⇒ 57

Lucky holds for the perfect opportunity. Kiltem gets his form back and stabs the sea beast. This wound really wrecks it. While it doesn't kill the thing, it relaxes it's grip on Ko... it's going to make a break for it!

Ko feels his life leak into the inky froth, he grits his teeth, and before the creature can release him, he strikes.

Ko takes the shot, but misses, passing out as he does. The creature jets water through its body, getting away from the party. It's clear from the disturbed water that it swarm NW.

Out of combat. Ko is unconscious. The water clears up in about 30ish seconds.

CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5) + 3 = 9

Lucky silently curses his luck and steers clear of the swirling vomit and offal. He starts searching for anything of value as sure as he is pretty sure Ko is OK.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 perception. <- Where the crap was THAT during combat?!


Male Human Druid 7, HP 79/79, AC18 (T12 FF17), CMD 20, Init +1, Percep +13, (Fort +8, Ref +5, Wil +8)

The druid futilely swims after the injured creature his predator instincts wanting to hone in on the kill. He stops after a few strokes, Bleeding Besmarra!

The moment gone Kiltem goes over to help with the injured Ko. I wasnt sure if you were going to make it. Im glad you were able to jam your blade to the hilt in it’s rubbery hide.

The druid lays a hand on him and CLWs 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 balls!

One more CLWs 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6


Male Human Druid 7, HP 79/79, AC18 (T12 FF17), CMD 20, Init +1, Percep +13, (Fort +8, Ref +5, Wil +8)

Kiltem addresses the group. That devil fish went that way he gestures toward the north west passage. Shall we pursue? Or head this way? he points to the south west tunnel.

The druid isnt so sure they should bother chasing. The damned fish can outswim them...

Let's keep moving. Pursuing a fish in water is like...pursuing a fish in water! We need to find Sandara.

Kiltem nods at the wise words. He and Lucky lead the group into the southwest passage.

DM can we still touch the bottom? or are we swimming?


MAP TEMPLATES | Social Combat | War for the Crown | Campaign Tracker |

In this area, you can touch the bottom, except for Slappy, who must swim. The walls of this small cavern display strangely ribbed markings.

Perception DC 20:

The seaweed on the floor of this area is actually resting on bars, as if you're standing on a cage.


Male Human Druid 7, HP 79/79, AC18 (T12 FF17), CMD 20, Init +1, Percep +13, (Fort +8, Ref +5, Wil +8)

Perception 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

The druid notices the strange floor and points it out to the others.

So we are walking on stone/rocks/mud/sand at all? Or are bars on top of that? Please explain?


MAP TEMPLATES | Social Combat | War for the Crown | Campaign Tracker |

Kiltem sees that the floor drops away to a deeper floor blow. You're currently (in this room only) walking across something like a sewer grate...


Male Bekyar Mwangi (Human) Slayer (Vanguard) 7, HP 65 (65), AC 19 (T32,FF16), Init +6, Per +11, Fort +7, Ref +8, Will +3, CMD 23, CMB +10

Ko gives his allies a grateful hug, his long arms engulfing each in turn. All save Kiltem, whose nearly as wide as Ko is tall.

Ko investigates the floor, looking for a doorway, latch or removable grate.

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21


MAP TEMPLATES | Social Combat | War for the Crown | Campaign Tracker |

Ko dives down a bit, and sees that it's only the weight of water and seaweed that's keeping the bars in place. As he gives them a test tug, he can-

WE'LL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL! A rotting hand reaches up and 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 - 2 = 14 tries unsuccessfully to to grab the big man. Thankfully their reach is too short to grab someone treading water...

Ko thinks a concerted effort would open the bars, but the water undead below will be released if you do.

Moved people on the map

Kiltem and Lucky lead the party on. The druid probes the ground with his spear, careful to avoid undead grates. Rogue and druid check out the alcove while the others stand watch.

Lucky perception 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Answering Ko's Slack question: No there's no above water place to brace, but with the group bracing on the sides you could do it. I marked it on the map in case you return to it. I also revealed a bit more map.

The paths forward split into opposite directions.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Could a cleric bless the environmental water here and sort of holy deep-fry them?


MAP TEMPLATES | Social Combat | War for the Crown | Campaign Tracker |

There are actually rules on this. Short answer is no. Longer answer is that channeling through the water still works.


Male Human Druid 7, HP 79/79, AC18 (T12 FF17), CMD 20, Init +1, Percep +13, (Fort +8, Ref +5, Wil +8)

So I'm guessing Lucky and Kiltem dont find anything interesting in this little room?


MAP TEMPLATES | Social Combat | War for the Crown | Campaign Tracker |

They did not.

Kilt smoothly paddles after the rogue. He keeps probing the floor occasionally with spear. He examines the tunnel as they go.

Ko holds the important job guarding the rear.

Everyone has their eyes open and are listening.

The pirates make their way through the caves, ready for anything else to surprise them. After a quick circuit, it appears that there's but one remaining place to look for Sandara...

Lucky polls the group for any wounds and suggests healing for anything that might be ailing his mates. "Does anyone want to buff themselves prior to advancing?" (Insert Retcon Here)

He carefully swims toward the ominous central chamber of the cave complex, watching and listening for traps or enemies.


Male Human Druid 7, HP 79/79, AC18 (T12 FF17), CMD 20, Init +1, Percep +13, (Fort +8, Ref +5, Wil +8)

Are we swimming or walking in deep water? The druid is considering casting his shillylag spell.

It's a little bit of both to get there.

Lucky finally lives up to his namesake. He catches movement in the water beyond the motion of the tide... There's something there, and it's big, though it'd be a big risk to swim to an angle with line of sight.

Does Kiltem have any guesses?

Based on sound alone, there's no way even the erudite druid can identify the source.
