1. GM Edwin's Zeitgeist Campaign

Game Master Insnare

Asher sheathes his sword then draws forth his musket. He then tries his best to defend himself, before he can gain more space from the beast.

Full defense if I can after the weapon swap

Asher is able to change his weapon as he drifts 5 feet deeper.

Octopi 1 bite 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 miss

Octopi 2 bite 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 miss

Tentacle 1 1d20 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 5 = 26 to continue grapple

Tentacle 2 1d20 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 5 = 23 to continue grapple

John, Chretien

total defense

Johnathan tries another Color Spray, desperate.

Concentration: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 4 = 9
vs. DC 11 + grappler's CMB

--And can't manage to do so in the octopi's sucky grip, losing the spell.

Shark vs Asher 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 miss

Angus(might I suggest using your missiles because you have a -6 to swim

Agnus hearing some inner voice will cast and fire Magic Missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 2 = 5 at the octopus that is grappeling Jonhatan and Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (18) - 2 = 16 forward

Octopy CMB check to hold on 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

GW Shark vs. Falko 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 hit 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 biting Falko deep.

Falko

Bit once more, Falko falters, unable to fend off the shark. Perhaps it's time we meet again, Father? he asks.

For the moment, it seemed best to flee, but he knew he had no chance of beating a shark in a swimming contest.

But I can disappear...

Shuffling his aching legs, Falko pushes himself from the shark, just enough to give him time to cast an incantation.

5-foot step and cast Vanish.

Round 3

Asher

swim if needed: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 - 1 = 7

Asher swims back a five-foot-step, loads his musket quickly with a shell from his bandoleer (dry load), and fires it at the vicious creature.

Points blank, deadly aim, touch ac, -2 for 5 feet of shooting underwater
Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 - 1 - 2 - 2 = 18
Damage: 1d12 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

Asher's gun strikes the shark hard and there is blood.

Octopi 1 bite 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 miss

Octopi 2 bite 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 hit 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Poison DC 13 Fort 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 fail taking 1 point of Strength damage

Tentacle 1 1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 3 = 24 maintains grapple

Tentacle 2 1d20 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 3 = 27 maintains grapple

John, Chretien

Cretien swims forward to try to attack.

swim: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
atk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
dmg: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Not sure if Mirror Image would work, but will try to cast that if so. Otherwise another Color Spray DC 16

Concentration: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 4 = 20

DC 16 will O1 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11, O2 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 both fail. The octopi are stunned and blinded for 1d4 ⇒ 2 rounds

Chretien hits one of the stunned octopi
The shark on Asher swims away.

Angus

Angus will cast a magic missle: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9 the previously wounded octopi as he tries to swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (12) - 2 = 10 closer to the party

Angus kills a stunned helpless octopus

GW shark confused at his prey disappearing moves to attack 1d4 ⇒ 2 1=Johnathan, 2= Angus , 3=Chretien, 4=Asher
moves to attack Angus 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 miss

Falko

Oh sweet gunslinger gods, thank you shark for not attacking me.

does that mean that i am in Melee with the GW shark DM ?y

The great white shark has reach of 10ft, you would need to pass a successful swim check to attack him

Falko wishes he could do more, but at the moment, there is little else he can do. Bleeding, profusely, he grabs a potion of healing and downs it eagerly.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Round 4

Asher

Try not to get any salt water in that potion Falko. Tight seal and suck hard. :)

Asher swims toward the other group, trying to assist as his companion near him has disappeared.

His goal is to have a 5 foot space between him and the other shark
Swim: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 - 1 = 9

If he gets within 10 feet and has action left to spare, he'll load another dry-load into his gun.

Asher has a difficult time swimming and makes no progress towards the others.

The remaining octopus is still stunned and blinded.

John, Chretien, Angus

Cretien attacks.

atk: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
dmg: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Cretien strikes and kills the last remaining octopus with his wrench.

John, Angus

Johnathan struggles free of the tentacles of the dead octopi and casts Mage Armor.

angus will swim toward johnathan and cast a CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10 on him

Shark AOO on Angus 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 hit 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Swim Angus 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1, is unable to move away from the shark.

Shark attacks Angus 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 miss

Falko

Falko does his best to swim and surprise the shark.

Swim: 1d20 + 3 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 3 - 2 = 12

And reapears as he tries to skewer the shark.

Rapier with luck, shark flat-footed: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 = 171d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Can i use my remaining move to move towards the shark? Not gonna provoke an AoO so i'll stop at the first of his threatened squares i could get to

Falko moves within 15 ft of the shark (successful DC 10 = 1/2 base speed)(I gather you would prefer to stay vanished until next round)

You wish to swim towards it in this round, you would require a swim check.

Round 5

All except Falko

Round 4
swim: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Round 5
swim: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Standard to adjust roc bar to reach

Asher tries to swim against the current once more. swim: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 1 = 20

He'll double move to be with in 10 of the shark, behind Angus if possible.

round 5

As the shark bites Angus hands of Retribution: 4pts, 1/2 fire 1/2 holy istantly engulf it Immediate action

Casting on he defensive Concentration: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 angus will cast a Magic missile: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 = 8 at it

Current AC 21

If angus is in melee combat with the shark his action becomes this: Taking his weapon in two hands he strike at the creature PA Longsword: 1d20 + 9 - 1 - 1 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 9 - 1 - 1 + 3 = 231d8 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

Swim Angus 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (14) - 4 = 10 (I think -4 should be your swim, which is also your acrobatics score.) pass, make sure you are taking into account the - for negative level

Johnathan Please add your swim rolls

Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0
Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (6) - 2 = 4
Swim: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (7) - 2 = 5

Sorry I meant that for everyone :) what did you want to do?

Magic Missile on the shark.

2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 = 4

The combined onslaught on the shark, makes it rethink its' desire for food and it withdraws. Which is over 120 feet

Combat Over

Asher looks around for Falko, and for where they are heading to try and get some forward momentum going.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 9 - 1 = 25

DM, i didn't apply the neg level to the concentration check as i wasn't sure it applied. But i included it in the weapon attack profile or any skill check and spell casting numerical value of my healing spells

Phew and that was just getting to where we are going. Anyone badly hurt and oozing blood ? We don't really more sharks to come over here he says with a smile puting his weapon away

Casting a CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 on Asher

Falko reappears and faintly mumbles: "I'm in bad shape..."

Angus will cast a CMW: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 7) + 3 = 13 on Falko and then a CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 on himself

That should do the trick Falko

"It did! Now what? Those beast cut through us with ease. Strange that octopi team with sharks, no? In any case, we're no good in water; swim like swords... Do you see the site?"

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Both Falko and Asher are able to see the yellow glow off in the distance. Considering the general difficulty some of you have swimming it may make sense to talk on the bottom together. Do you choose to hey diddle diddle or do you want to stealth it in?

Yeah lets get moving asap. Need swim/stealth rolls?

Depends, if you want to be stealthy, fine, but if not you don't need any rolls.

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Having spotted the likely location of the site, Falko indicates to the others to just sink to the bottom and then walk over.
