End of Round 2:
Xarethi charges the sailor but misses him with her touch
Round 3:
Kowaru drops ladder and fights defensively
Aeronniell climbs ladder
Ialda swings flail at sailor but misses
Chez climbs ladder
Sailors' Turn:
The sailor that Xarethi just charged, draws his rapier and tries to stab her but she ducks beneath his blow!
The sailor on Ialda evades her flail and thrusts his rapier into her chest, drawing blood!
Confirmation: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12..no confirmation
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
The sailor guarding the stairs charges Kowaru, drawing his rapier, but the monk avoids the clumsy blow!
Vark shoots the unbalanced Xarethi, wounding her deeply in the chest, as she passes out from the pain and falls to the floor! He yells, "Keep on mates, these fools will fall.." "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Suddenly, a female high pitched scream is heard from down below! Vark says, "What the...."
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Hit Point summary:
Aeronniell: 6/8
Chez: Full
Ialda: 9/14
Kowaru: Full
Xarethi: -1/6
Need stabilization roll from Xarethi and on to Round 4 and Kowaru, Aeronniell, and Ialda! For those climbing, it will take a move action to get on board and then you are free to act. Don't forget to add +1 for Bless.
Kowaru |
"Hurry, sister!" Kowaru calls over the side to Aeronniell. "Xarethi has fallen!" While Vark is distracted by the scream, Kowaru races towards him, diving over the sailor's swing. Once to Vark, he pulls back his right hand, his belly rumbling as he focuses his chi. His hand lashes out and strikes Vark on the forehead with his index and middle finger, striking not at the man's head, but his chakra.
Attempt to use Acrobatics to avoid the sailor's threatened area, then move towards Vark, end up at J7, and attack using my Touch of Serenity feat. If it hits, Vark will need to make a DC 13 Will save or take no action for 1 round.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
The_Demonic_DM |
Kowaru - some confusion on my part, as I was not clear so I apologize. Squares I 7-9 as well as any squares west are not on the same level as the rest of the boat (10' up); they are up the stairs located at I6. So you cannot melee attack Vark from J7. You can change/amend your action with this new information.
Kowaru |
Ah, that makes sense, he's firing at us from the sterncastle. That will, in fact, change my action.
...or, at least, that's what Kowaru would do if he could get to Vark this round. Instead, he unleashes several snap kicks at the sailor that swung at him.
So, instead of all that, flurry of blows on this guy.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Attack 2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Damage 1: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Damage 2: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Aeronniell Ithilwen |
Round 3
Aeronniell climbs up the ladder to the ship's decks, joining her friends in their attempt to secure the main deck. Seeing Xaerthi down, she aims the next arrow at her attacker.
Move action to get on the deck.
Attack (longbow, point blank): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 for 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Status:
6/8 HP
The_Demonic_DM |
Actually, we're in Round 4 and it's a move action to get on board and a move action to retrieve the bow.
Kowaru's flurry of blows lands one solid kick to the sailor's stomach but he's still up, while Ialda's swing is high and misses.
Round 4 Sailors' Turn:
The sailor on Ialda thrusts his rapier at her but misses badly. He retreats to Q8.
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4..miss!
The sailor on Kowaru also swings but the half-orc easily sidesteps the blow. He then retreats to N8.
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6..miss!
The crossbowman reloads and shoots Ialda in the shoulder with a bolt, staggering the half-elf!
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17..hit!
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5
Vark moves 5', reloads his crossbow, and shoots Aeronniell, but thankfully misses her. He curses his aim and yells, "Keep on mates, we've almost got 'em!"
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9..miss!
Chez' move action to get aboard and standard action? Then on to Round 5!
Kowaru |
No worries!
Kowaru follows the crossbowman as he retreats, his fists flying, pressing his advantage with every feint and strike, bobbing and weaving to prevent the man from getting a good shot. As he lays several powerful blows, he spares a glance to Chez. "Aid Ialda if you can, brother!" He then turns back to his foe and whispers audibly, his jaw clenched. "Vark is mine."
5' step to L7, flurry of blows on the crossbowman at K6.
Attack 1: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Attack 2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Confirmation on Attack 2: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Damage 1: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Damage 2: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Extra Damage 2 (if confirmation is successful): 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Round 5 Sailors' Turn:
Vark screams in anger at seeing Kowaru and Ialda take down two of his men and yells at the last remaining crossbowman, "I want their heads on pikes, now!"
The sailor, filled with fear, reloads his crossbow and fires a bolt at Ialda, nicking her on the shoulder.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1
Vark reloads his crossbow as well and seeing the archer, shoots Aeronniell in the chest, the bolt penetrating deeply, as blood spurts onto the deck! "Take that!" Stunned by the pain, Aeronniell struggles to maintain consciousness. Dropped to 0 hps, she is now disabled.
Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6
Chez to close Round 5, as Xarethi dreams away, then Kowaru, Aeronniell, and Ialda to start Round 6.
Kowaru |
Ack, misread Chez's posts, let's try that again!
Kowaru races up the stairs, finally freed from his engagement with the crossbowman, and strikes at Vark's third eye chakra. Vark, however, saw the monk coming, and dodged out of the way before Kowaru could make contact.
OK, let's try this again! Touch of Serenity on Vark. If it hits, he has to make a DC 13 Will save or do nothing for 1 round.
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Aeronniell Ithilwen |
Round 6
"Oh dear..." Aeronniell mumbles as her eyes lock on the bolt impaled in her body.
Stumbling for cover, she does her best to not present Vark with another easy shot while she contemplates how she will address her injury.
No more cure spells today!
Anywhere within a move action for cover? I see she's already behind a bunch of crates, can she use her move action to lay prone for total cover?
Status:
0/8HP (disabled)

Yes, she can lay prone for total cover behind the crates.

"Look alive, everyone. Something is coming up From below deck and it sounds big!".
DM, I'm a little lost on the map. Will you move Ialda to the closest stairs so she can get to the level Vark currently is? Thanks
With a double move, you can get up the stairs and pretty close to Vark. Hope that works for you. Or did you want a move and full-defense? Let me know.

Round 6 Sailors' Turn:
The sailor near Chez drops his crossbow, draws his rapier and slashes at Chez pathetically, missing the fighter by a mile.
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7..miss!
Vark growls at Vark, as he drops his crossbow and draws a beautiful rapier with ornamental carvings and symbols. With weapon and buckler in hand, he sizes up the half-orc, "I see you deflect arrows, now deflect this!" He thrusts his rapier into Kowaru, piercing his abdomen deeply, causing him to grimace his pain, as blood runs down his leg and then Vark pushes him back off the blade with his buckler. Vark smiles, "Bad move coming this way, freak! I'm gonna rip yer guts out!"
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Suddenly, you hear some loud clattering and turn to see a spider-like creature the size of a horse cramped and squeezing at the stairwell leading down, its body dark brown with yellow stripes. The creature's head, horrifically over-sized for its body, is dominated by immense mandibles stained with fresh blood, that chatter and clack with obvious hunger! Pic of Creature
Vark looks at the creature with fear in his voice, "Oh f*ck, we're in trouble now!"
Chez, then rest of party.
Kowaru |
Kowaru gasps as Vark's rapier stabs deep into his chest, and then again as the massive arachnoid crawling from below decks. Worse, he saw Aeron's form, clutching her side and staring at the monstrosity with growing concern.
"Even the bobcat and wolf must stop their struggle when the lion attacks both," Kowaru hisses through his clenched teeth. "A truce, brother?"
The_Demonic_DM |
"Even the bobcat and wolf must stop their struggle when the lion attacks both," Kowaru hisses through his clenched teeth. "A truce, brother?"
Kowaru, you speech was not long, so it was a free action, you can act normally this round, if you'd like. Aeronniell and Ialda are also up!
Kowaru |
Kowaru nodded silently to Vark and retrieved his sling from his belt. He stepped away from his previous assailant, loaded a bullet into his weapon and began to swing it about his head, gaining the necessary speed. He didn't trust Vark to honor the truce beyond this unusual turn of events, so he wanted to be far enough away that the pirate couldn't easily stab him once the creature was dead.
Pull out my sling and load it. That's all I can do this round.
Ialda Soumral |
If Ialda takes a move action, can she get up to the level of Vark and Kowaru? If so, she will pull her sling as well. If not, let me know, and I'll adjust.
Ialda finishes her scamper up the stairs and pers down at the creature. She pulls her sling and prepares to fire at it next round.
Aeronniell Ithilwen |
Hearing the talking and the approaching creature, Aeronniell peeks out from her cover, surprised to see the roughly formed truce.
What in the Dreamer's name is that? she muses when she sees the creature, hoping to provide the others with some insight as she feels way too weak to draw her bow.
Knowledge (Nature?): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Round 7 Enemies' Turn:
The Rhagodessa struggles against the confined space of the stairwell and you can hear the straining of the wood, until it finally gives out breaking before the size and strength of the arachnid! The creature scuttles across the deck and notices the prone Aeronniell and moves toward her, climbing over the crates away, until it stands right over her, the elf seeing the suckers close to her face!
Vark looks suspiciously at Kowaru and Ialda and sheathes his rapier, picks up his crossbow, and moves away from the pair.
Chez, unconscious Xarethi, Kowaru, Aeronniell, and Ialda are up!
Kowaru |
"Stay away from her!" Kowaru shouts at the rhagodessa. "She will not be yours!!" He lines up his shot with the sling and lets go, the bullet sailing towards the creature. He begins reloading the sling almost immediately.
Shoot the rhagodessa, and reload.
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4
Aeronniell Ithilwen |
"Shoo!" Aeronniell pleads with the critter, gesturing to the likely dead sailors about.
"If you want to eat someone laying down, go bite on that sailor. I'm still alive and moving!"
Jovial voice: It seems to fancy elf maiden!
Ugh... I'm barely conscious and you choose now to make a joke?
Blinking slowly and barely holding onto consciousness, Aeronniell glances around and wonders why she's standing alone by the creature while everyone else is shooting arrows or bolts at it.
That's what I should be doing...
Withdraw action capable anywhere? If so, she'll try to move to the far side of Chez such that if she is pursued, the bug at least provokes an AoO from Chez.
The_Demonic_DM |
Withdraw action capable anywhere? If so, she'll try to move to the far side of Chez such that if she is pursued, the bug at least provokes an AoO from Chez.
Unless I missed something, Aeronniell is prone, so she can move 10 feet crawling with a withdraw action, unless she wants to risk AoO by standing, which I doubt.
Waiting for Chez' action...
The_Demonic_DM |
Ok, just realized that more than 36 hours have passed since Chez last posted so time to NPC him.
Realizing that Aeronniell's life is in danger, as she struggles to crawl away, Chez rushes to intercept the beast, thrusting his rapier into the side of its head, drawing blood!
Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 5 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Enemies' Turn Round 8:
The Rhagodessa clatters in pain and seeing the blond human in front of it, strikes at him with its mandibles, ripping through flesh and armor, as Chez screams and then passes out from the pain, his weapons clanging on the floor!
Bite attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19..hit
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Seeing that grisly attack, Vark shudders as he shoots his crossbow and misses!
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10..miss
Summary of Round 8:
Kowaru damaged creature with sling
Aeronniell crawled away
Ialda missed
Rhagodessa nearly bit Chez in half
Vark loaded and missed
Chez: Stabilization roll: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18..stabilizes!
Xarethi continued resting
