Strangler the Octopus glubbers with rage at the cowardly manticore. He gains a little more altitude and then blasts the flying lion with a gout of divine flame!

Dang...too many lions between the druid and the monk. Well, go with your heart. :-)

I think a Channel Energy from the cleric might be helpful about now...

Seeing the land battle is well in hand, Strangler casts Air Walk on himself to confront the manticore.

Fantastic! Just one comment: a creature with Improved Grab does natural weapon damage (bite damage, in the case of lions) instead of unarmed strike damage on a successful grapple check.

Can we have a quick update of which monsters are still alive and kicking?

None of his natural/unarmed attacks do lethal damage because he's currently wearing a merciful amulet of mighty fists.

Wow...regular lions have a BAB of +3, and these lions have a BAB of +7! This is a souped-up dire lion, too (+12 BAB instead of +6). No wonder they're so good at grappling.

On Strangler's turn he makes another 8 tentacle lashes (and one bite) at any lions within range. (no grapples) Note that all of his damage is nonlethal, so the lions are not dead, just resting.

tentacles: 1d20+13=15 1d20+13=16 1d20+13=15 1d20+13=29 1d20+13=27 1d20+13=28 1d20+13=28 1d20+13=29

tentacle damage: 1d4+1d6+8=17 1d4+1d6+8=11 1d4+1d6+8=14 1d4+1d6+8=12 1d4+1d6+8=14 1d4+1d6+8=17 1d4+1d6+8=13 1d4+1d6+8=12

bite attack & damage: 1d20+8=10 1d8+1d6+4=12

So did the lions all hit with their CMB rolls to Grapple.

No, they haven't been rolled yet. Note that we have a brand new discussion thread to ask these questions on... :-P

Strangler, takes 19 on two claws and 2 rakes. The lions want to grapple.

Lions can only start a grapple with a bite, not with a claw or rake. I think Strangler will actually hold off on grappling for now -- it doesn't make much sense to grapple unless the PCs outnumber the enemies. So ignore all of those grapple check + constrict damage rolls for now.

Confirming critical threats + extra critical damage:
1d20+13=22 1d4+8=11
1d20+13=23 1d4+8=10
1d20+13=18 1d4+8=10

So strangler, are you using the octopus loophole to see how powerful a druid you can make? Do you really have 16 attacks? or is that 8 attack and 8 grapples? I'm confused.

The rolls are 8 tentalce attacks (+ damage) and 8 grapple checks for Improved Grab (+ possible constrict damage).

My goal right now is to see if I can make grappling is worthwhile; the octopus just gives me the best chance of starting a grapple!

I don't know if we're supposed to use an on-line roller, but it can speed things along if players make their own rolls.

Since others are posting attack results...

If he gets an AoO when one of the lions closes:
atk: 1d20+13=22 dmg: 1d4+1d6+8=13 grapple check: 1d20+16=18 constrict: 2d8+1d6+8=24

Full attack against one of the lions (note that the full attack stops once he makes a successful grapple check + constrict):
tentacles 1-8:
1d20+13=22 1d4+1d6+8=11 1d20+16=30 2d8+1d6+8=19
1d20+13=14 1d4+1d6+8=16 1d20+16=18 2d8+1d6+8=20
1d20+13=30 1d4+1d6+8=14 1d20+16=25 2d8+1d6+8=18
1d20+13=33 1d4+1d6+8=16 1d20+16=34 2d8+1d6+8=23
1d20+13=15 1d4+1d6+8=14 1d20+16=36 2d8+1d6+8=20
1d20+13=17 1d4+1d6+8=17 1d20+16=18 2d8+1d6+8=20
1d20+13=33 1d4+1d6+8=17 1d20+16=24 2d8+1d6+8=16
1d20+13=33 1d4+1d6+8=14 1d20+16=35 2d8+1d6+8=26
bite: 1d20+8=11 1d8+1d6+4=11

I'm a bit suspicious about those results from the dice roller -- there are 4 natural 20s in there!

Strangler wildshapes to octopus. Begs the question how long can you hold that form in the air before you have trouble breathing?

Pathfinder rules only say that "If the form grants a swim or burrow speed, you maintain the ability to breathe if you are swimming or burrowing". It doesn't say anything about losing the ability to breathe air... If you have a complaint, take it up with Jason. :)

Post away. Sleepy has posted round 1 action ready FoB. What's an FoB?

Flurry of Bozos, I think.

Strangler delays until one of the opponents comes into range, trusting that his 20' tentacles will ensnare any enemy that comes too close.

Strangler casts an (octopus) eye on the big cats, seeing if he can identify any of them.

How narrow? At any rate, Strangler will be in earth elemental form with Greater Magic Fang (+1 to all weapons) on, if possible. He'll be near the front of the marching order.
