Lucendar's Savage Tide....All aboard! (Inactive)

Game Master Lucendar

[b]"Just withdraw, Gruug. I can handle this one by myself, while you heal!"[b]. Ialda was noticing her new friend was on his last legs again.

Attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Damage 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Map Update: Gruug is in F9.

Gruug looks anxious to maneuver around the side of the beast and flank it. Just as he begins moving, he hears Ialda call out to him to heal.

With a disappointed look, he nods at Ialda, "Yes boss."

Gruug moves backwards and calls upon the power of his god.

5' step to G10, and cast CLW

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Aeronniell glances down at Xarethi and hopes the sorceress is okay before turning her attention back to the monkey-creature.

Longbow (pt blank): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 27 for 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 = 10

Longbow (pt blank) crit confirm: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 = 21 for 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Grinning at her well-aimed shot, the elf hopes it spells the end for the simian monstrosity.

Sorry, the last few days have not been kind in allowing me time to check the boards.

"Someone help the reddy, I'll keep this thing occupied!" He slashes at the insipid little creature again, hoping to at least distract it.

Round 5

"Oooh, dat looked like it hurt demon monkeh!" Baolo takes a step away from the phanaton and quickly sends another pair of arrows into the little demon. 5-foot step to H5
Attack 1 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage 1 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
Attack 2 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Damage 2 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

A confirmed crit on a longbow is x3 so 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4 extra damage for total of 17-5 DR for 12.

Summary of Round 5:
Krenshar severely wounds Gruug
Phanton misses Baolo
Ialda misses Krenshar
Gruug cures himself
Aero crits phanaton
Left Ear misses phanaton
Baolo hits once with his arrows

Round 6:
Krenshar tries to bite Gruug, as it follows him, but misses!

Bite: 1d20 ⇒ 9...miss!

Phanaton (-18) roars in rage as Aero's arrow strikes him but he continues to advance on Baolo, trying to feint him again! But the inquisitor is well versed in reading body language and he does not fall for it. Phanaton tries to bite him again, yelling, "No more running now, archer! Got you up against the wall!"

Feint: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14...fails vs DC 17
Bite: 1d20 ⇒ 2...miss

Updated Map

Party is up!

Gruug, feeling better, grips tightly on his scimitar and looks towards Ialda with a smile.

Round 6

"Not fa long monkeh!" Baolo rolls away from the phanaton and comes up firing his bow at the creature once more.
Acrobatics to avoid AoO and move to J6 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Attack 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Damage 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Ialda moves to E 8 and swings at the creature, finally catching it between she and Gruug.

Attack 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 2 = 23

Damage 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Gruug releases a mighty swing at the creature...

+1 Scimitar power attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 6 + 2 = 20
+1 Scimitar damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

The Krenshar tries to bite Gruug before dying but misses.
Bite before death: 1d20 ⇒ 11...miss
Ialda and Gruug: Reflex save or take 1d6 ⇒ 5 acid damage

Reflex 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

"By the gods, I think I'd do better just letting these things eat me, rather than peck me to death with their acid," she screams in frustration.

HP 32/37

Gruug appears confused as he looks down at his numerous bite wounds, "Me think their bite is much worse than their goo."

Reflex save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

"Stand still, ye thrice-damned simian!", Left-Ear bellows, viciously slashing at the phanaton with his blade.

Eek! Didn't realize it was round 6.

Aeronniell continues to maintain her focus on the monkey-like creature, her glare unwavering while it continues to breathe life.

To K,6

Longbow (pt blank): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 1 = 11 for 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Baolo nimbly tumbles away from the savage simian, but his arrow fails to hurt him, and Aero's arrow sails over its head. Left-Ear's strike also fails to connect.

Round 7:
The phanaton 5' steps to I6 and tries to feint Baolo but fails again:
Feint: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Bite: 1d20 ⇒ 5..miss!
So, basically a repeat of last round!
Party is up!

With a snarl, the pirate followed the demonic monkey, slashing wildly at it. "Enough running, ye pitborn bilge rat! Jus' let me kill ye a pinch!" The mad slashes do nothing but cut through the air, however, as the beast jumps and twists over and under his blade, cackling wildly.

Gruug moves up beside the small creature and reaches out, ready to grab it by the neck. "Stop attacking us, or Gruug crush you!"

Move to G6

Intimidate: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

The phanaton looks at Gruug and smiles, "Fresh meat!"

If there is room, Ialda will move up and swing at the little creature as well.

Attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Damage 1d10 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

If I can flank, add two to the attack roll.

Round 7!

Aeronniell circles the phanaton, trying to time her shot to end its miserable existence.

Longbow (pt blank): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 = 21 for 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Round 7

Baolo takes a step back from the little simian, glad to have moved away from the wall. He fires two more arrows at the little demon. 5-foot step to K7
Attack 1 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Damage 1 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Attack 2 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage 2 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Round 7

Xarethi's body shows some signs of recovery, and she is breathing, but otherwise dead to the world.

Hitpoints: -2/14

With the flank from Left-Ear, Ialda's blow hits the phanaton and coupled with Baolo's arrow strike, the creature dies but not before he tries to bite Gruug and misses! 1d20 ⇒ 11
Ialda, Gruug, and Left Ear: Make DC 13 Reflex saves or take 1d6 ⇒ 6 acid damage.

Now what?

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Uncertain of her immediate condition, Gruug rushes over to Xarethi and calls forth a prayer to safeguard her wounds.

Casts Stabilize -- although I think she already has stabilized.

Yep. she's stabilized.

Reflex 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

HP 32/37

"Whatever the curse that's on these creature, it certainly makes them tough, that's for sure," the barbarian shakes her head, and gathers her weapons. "How is Xarethi?"

Aeronniell rushes to Xarethi's side, juggling the wand awkwardly before pointing it as the sorceress.

"She's stable... nothing our wand won't be able to fix up, I hope."

@Xarethi: How many charges? If we're still doing maximized wands out of combat, 2 charges is +18HP and takes the wand to 24/50.

_Just to be safe, Aero, hit me with that wand to get me up to full HP, if you don't mind. I'm scared of a random crit from nowhere.

With everyone healthy and back on their feet, Ialda pulls her spear and starts leading the party into the next room, looking carefully as she goes.

Perception 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Aero, could you take off 3 more charges for Gruug.

With these 6 charges (2 for Xarethi, 1 for Ialda, 3 for Gruug), we are down to 20.

2 will get her to full health

As soon as the wand had worked its healing, Xarethi came to, her wounds stitching up slowly, and yet surely, as the magic worked its way through her body.

"My thanks, Aeronniell. I have to admit, I feel a little out of my element here. I hope I can do better in the future."

X, Ialda has two wands of Mage Armor. Why don't you take the one with 10 charges, and make it a bit tougher for the bad guys to hit you. I never think to use it on you, so if you had it, things might go smoother.

Actually, that might help very much, thank you. It will allow me to focus my magic on offenses (which is what I think we need against these critters).

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Left-Ear howls as he catches a splash of acrid blood on his neck and shoulder. "Arr! Why does it burn so?" He then looks down at his rapier. "Fat load of good you did in this fight. I mights be in the market for a new weapon, says I." Maribelle cawed a few times from her relative safety above the fray.

"Quit yer laughing, or I shant be feeding ye anything but weevil-filled hardtack for a week and use yer feathers to line me pillow!"

I could use one charge as well to get back to full. I'm down 7.

Take the wand then, X. I'll mark it off my sheet.

"Use this wand, sister. I'm getting tired of watching you bleed!"

Xarethi accepts the wand, but hopes her green friend isn't very angry with her.

Seeing her friend take the wand, Ialda realizes her words might have been a bit harsh. "You know I am only playing with you, sister. You dodging some blows will help all of us!"

Since it lasts one hour, I assume X uses a charge of mage armor.

The path north diverges in two, one passage heading east and one west. With her keen hearing, Ialda hears sounds of chopping coming from the west and a trail of bodies leading to the east.

"Might as well face the threat head on," she whispers to the group, and starts heading for the west.

Rolled Perception earlier. If a new one is needed, Perception 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25.

"Ugh, as long as we're not going headlong into a pack of wild monkeys, again."

Aeronniell will cast Bless, lasting 3 minutes, before we rush into the room with the chopping sound.

"I've a bad feelin' about this," Left-Ear mutters. "I have my misgivings that they ain't choppin' up timber." He grimaces at what he fears the chopping might be.

"Whatever they are, lets hope they're not invisible, or insane. This place seems to have an abundance of those things."

Xarethi creeps forward with the others as she puts away the mage armor wand, another charge depleted.

"Ya mon! I'm not lovin' de choppin' either but bettah dan monkeh screechin'" Baolo gets an arrow ready and moves in behind everyone else.
Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Xarethi also loads her crossbow. She prefers to remain out of reach.

As you approach the sound, the chopping sound gets louder until you enter a cavern, that appears to have once been the smugglers' dining area. Ialda and Baolo with their keen eyesight look around the corner and make out 3 "savage" humans in the room. Two of them are carrying what appear to be fresh corpses and piling them on a wooden table, while the third, dressed in a kitchen apron, is gleefully chopping them up with the big cleaver in his hand, blood spurting everywhere. The three do not appear to have heard or noticed the party. You do catch a pile of equipment behind the savages about 20' in the corner and a rather impressively constructed longbow catches your attention, especially as it is made of ivory.

No map since I am at work, but visually, the creatures are about 40' from your corner and the pile of equipment is 60'. Let me know your intentions.

Xarethi makes ready to fire at the closest savage, but she waits for the others to act first. She doesn't want to call undue attention to herself.

Left-Ear blanches as he catches sight of the bodies being butchered, the poor souls treated as nothing more than delectable morsels. He shakes his head to clear his mind of the cannibalistic urges he knows are not his own, sheathing his sword to pull his bow and looking to Baolo to start the assault.

As we attack, remember that Aero has cast Bless on us all. I think we'll all probably get a surprise round, so I think I'll let Ialda start things off.

Ialda turns around the corner, opens her mouth and the closest savage humanoid is targeted with her magic, as she utters a scream only it can hear.

Ear Piercing Scream 1d6 ⇒ 5 damage plus Fort. save to avoid being dazed and for 1/2 damage from the spell.

1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 = 171d8 ⇒ 7
