The undead flinch in pain as positive energy passed through their bodies, but they continue to attack you relentlessly.
Celei and Jager are up!

Jager will go total defence as a standard and reload his pistol.

Unless the one i hit dies, he'll have to re-roll his save for both times.
Celie looks at another undead and hexes him with misfortune. then cackles extending the original misfortune by another round on the one she had already hexed. Will 17 for Misfortune.

Nope, it's dead.
One of the ghouls does indeed succumb to the holy light, but as one falls, two more close ranks.

The undead continue their attack on the party, scoring occasional hits.
Party is up! I need 2 fort. saves from Oloch (paralysis) and 2 fort. saves from jager (paralysis & disease). DC 14 for all saves.

Celie will do the same on a new target and cackle.

Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

What are these things? Are they weak to anything in particular?

sorry, didn't see that you needed fort saves from everyone.

Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Fort Save 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Fort Save 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Oloch shakes off the venom that courses through his veins, and once again lights up the area as he calls out for his gods presence to aid him in his endeavors.
Channel, Dmg Undead: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3
And that does it for my channels for the day..

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Jager leans back and shoots at the undead in front of him

Attack defensively: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 9 - 4 = 11

Then he reloads.

These are lacedon ghouls, close cousins of the mainland ghoul, only much stronger.

The battle continues to rage, though the ghouls seem to be lagging under the barrage of holy light.
The party is up! I need one fort. save from Jager.

Celie will target another undead and cackle again.

Celie will target another undead and cackle again.

Argh, so many dice rolls! Lol!

Remembering that the creatures have no particular weaknesses, Vordrek points a finger at one of the creatures. Did not anticipate this type of terrain. Underwater and facing undead adversaries, his most potent spells are either useless or near enough.

Force missile vs the one to the left of Oloch: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Oloch draws his sword and takes a defensive stance while stepping back through the door.
Sorry Jager.. I need the choke point! You can still withdraw past me, though. GM: Any chance that Alchemical Fire works underwater?

To see the full list of underwater combat, click here

Fire: Nonmagical fire (including alchemist's fire) does not burn underwater. Spells or spell-like effects with the fire descriptor are ineffective underwater unless the caster makes a caster level check (DC 20 + spell level). If the check succeeds, the spell creates a bubble of steam instead of its usual fiery effect, but otherwise the spell works as described. A supernatural fire effect is ineffective underwater unless its description states otherwise. The surface of a body of water blocks line of effect for any fire spell. If the caster has made the caster level check to make the fire spell usable underwater, the surface still blocks the spell's line of effect.

thanks.. just having issues trying to come up with a plan!

Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Jager attemps to move acrobatically through the water to behind Oloch.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

He then fires at the nearest one.

Attack: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 11 - 4 = 13

GM Reroll+1: 1d20 + 11 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 11 + 1 - 4 = 21 vs touch

Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

They all get AoO's

Oloch: Vordrek has informed you that they're ghouls. They don't have any DR and they aren't resistant to slash/pierce damage like other undead. You're greatsword would be very effective against them.
Will Save vs. Celie: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Celie continues to cackle with glee as she casts, although it's difficult to hear underwater. Oloch shoves off to land a few feet behind and takes a defensive posture while Vordrek fires a magic bolt over the half-orc's shoulder, hitting one of the creatures. Seeing that he's alone, Jager swims to safety behind him.

The ghouls grab at Jager's ankles, trying to pull him back into the room, but none are able to grab him. Once safe, Jager turns and fires, blowing away the skull of the creature in the doorway. The others quickly shove the floating corpse aside and fill the void, clawing and biting at Oloch.

Despite their efforts, they just can't seem to find a chink in his armor.

Oloch takes a swipe at the ghoul in the doorway, before sliding to the side. "Box in the door and as they come through, we can pound on them one at a time." Vordrek, If you move up one, we will be set for the most power projected into the area.
Attack: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 13 - 2 = 16
Damage: 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 5) + 11 = 18
According to the combat charts, I believe that if that hits, it is only half dmg.. so 9 dmg

Celie targets the undead nearest Jager and hexes it with evil eye targeting it's AC. DC is 17. then she will cackle, extending both curses.

Ghoul will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Misfortune Reroll: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Celie's spell isn't able to take hold this time. Oloch swings at the ghoul but the drag from the water slows his attack, allowing the creature to dodge out of the way.
Jager and Vordrek are up!

Switching targets, Vordrek turns his finger onto the one at the doorway.

Force missile vs middle ghoul: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

I'm contributing!

Jager reloads and fires.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 4 = 19

Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Sorry for some reason it wasnt showing me new posts...

Vordrek and Jager both concentrate their efforts on the ghoul in the doorway, bringing it down for good. The remaining ghouls continue to shove the floating bodies of their kin out of the way and swim through the door.

The party is up!

Vordrek swims back a bit and fires another missle.

Force missile vs closest ghoul: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

If the one that Celie tried to hex is still up, she'll hex him again with evil eye, targeting his AC again. If he's dead, she'll hex the next one. And the chuckle.

Oloch takes another swing with his sword
Attack: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 13 - 2 = 19
Damage: 2d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 5) + 11 = 18
Half dmg for 9

The light of Vordrek's missile momentarily blinds the creature, giving Oloch an easy target. Even underwater, the force of the swing is enough to cleave the ghoul in half. Undeterred, the last monster swims forward, desperate for a taste of flesh.

The party is up! Jager may take two actions when he checks in.

Celie targets the undead and hexes it with evil eye targeting it's AC. DC is 17. then she will cackle.

Not wanting to use all his offensive power at one time, Vordrek calls to his god and reaches out to Jager. A portion of divine energy flows from one tiefling to another.

Using Battle Rage. Jager, you get +1 on melee damage rolls (if any) for this round.

Sorry guys busy weekend.

Jager swims back 5ft reloading then fires.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 2 = 14

Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Jager's bullet takes down the last ghoul, bringing a heavy silence about the ship.
Combat over!

Celie laughs, then looks at her fingers. There is one in a sowed up glove that she looks at. "Man, i already have a ghoul.. That was an easy fight.

Oloch sheathes his sword, and checks to make sure that all is well with everyone as he pulls out a wand.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

"Anyone else need any?"

Jager draws his wand handing it to Oloch. Jestering to himself.

He will then hand Celie the next scroll of air bubble and keep searching the ship.

We are all under water which makes talking hard just saying.

Oloch nods to Jager and proceeds to start tapping him with the wand
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

There ya go. Anyone else?

Nope, I'm good

With the threat dealt with, you swim across the swim to the next room and pull open the door. Cold and murky water fills most of this lightless room; the last few steps of the stair leading above deck lie underwater. This room, like the crew’s quarters above it, is bare. Eight hammocks hang from the ceiling, dangling just above the cold water. The submerged end deepens steadily at 2-1/2 feet every 5 feet.

Oloch walks in, keen eyes surveying the room, looking for anything out of place or dangerous.
Taking 20 for 24

Unfortunately, there is nothing distinguishable in this room other than the staris up. Checking the last room on this deck, you find that there's a hole in the floor leading deeper into the wreck.

Oloch goes to the hole and tries to see what is beyond it. Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Is it a big enough hole for us to get through or should we look for another route?

Celie pokes Oloch, "Go forward.. you'r blocking the door."

The party swims through the hole in the floor into the next room when suddenly the water just seems to...stop. You exit the water and find yourselves falling the last few feet to the floor. Standing up, you find that this room's water is gone, held back by some kind of magic most likely. Three sunrods lie in various corners of the room, filling it with a pale yellow glow, to reveal skeletons of long-dead sailors littering the floor. Across the barnacle-encrusted room, you see a man fumbling with a chest while an incorporeal humanoid silently stands over him. He seems to indulged in the chest to have noticed you yet.

what's the knowledge for the incoporeal?

ghosts will be religion.

Yep.
Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

It might not be a ghost. It probably is but there are a couple other incoporeals. They are usually very nasty though.

True, but I think pretty much all of them are some type of undead.

Wow, I finally found a spot in the woods that has a signal.
Vordrek is able to determine that it is indeed the ghost of some human, most likely one of the ship's sailors.

Jager looks at the others and shrugs making a shooting motion at the man.
