(5c) A World Apart - Team Stag (Inactive)

Game Master mdt

The creature pours along the wet ground, and then a psuedopod detaches itself from it's bulk and swings out at Kalasin.

Slam: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

The pseudopod slams into Kalasin despite her spell, and the sound of ribs cracking is only stopped by the sound of Kalasin coughing up blood as as red sprays from her mouth from the hit.

Now might be the time for revelations, this thing seems powerful

Round 1

Swift action: Retrieve Mutagen, Standard action: drink it. Move action : move 15f since water etc...

I need someone to go around it and flank it with me ! Kalasin bring it closer to us please

Current AC 25

I don't know what that thing is, but it needs to die!

Goragg slogs through the mud as far as he can (15 feet max?) and slashes at the giant water creature.

Falchion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 Damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 6 = 9

Cale brings his own weapon into play as he moves and steps besides Kalasin! His weapon ready to attack the creature though his concern sends his attack awry.
"You took a nasty blow. Are you alright?"

Attack if he can reach it. 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 131d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Attack of Opportunity, Goragg: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

The creature swings the psuedopod back, but misses it's attempt on Goragg as he ducks under the arm. Unfortunately, Goragg misses his attack as well, off balance in the muddy water.

Cale moves up 15ft, realizes he can't reach the creature, and moves up beside Kalasin instead, to offer another target. Cale, do you close with the creature or do you stop next to Kalasin? You can close with it, although it got an attack of op on Goragg, it has reach. Your choice, need to know before I do the next round of inits, I moved you where you can get to with 15 ft of movement

Cale doesn't know that it has reach and thus Cale moves up and takes any AOO if any.

Well, you saw him reach out and attack things at 10 ft, so yeah, Cale does know it. Apparently he just doesn't care. :)

Cale moves up and closes with the creature, but it appears it was too focused on Goragg to take advantage of the stone man's lack of care.

Phase 3
Init Cale: 1d20 ⇒ 3
Init Goragg: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Init Grim: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Init Kalasin: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Init Creature: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18

Goragg, then the creature, everyon else.

Goragg moves around to the back of the creature and slashes at it.

Falchion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25 Damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 6 = 10

Attack of Opportunity, Goragg: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

The creature swings the psuedopod at Goragg as he runs around it, and slams the watery appendage heavily into Goragg's side, making bones crunch and blood spray from the hobgoblin's mouth as well.

The blade slices through the creature easily enough, perhaps too easily, as Goragg doesn't see as much damage as he would like from the swing.

Attack, Goragg: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

The pseudopod slams back into Goragg, smashing him again and again making blood spurt and bones crunch.

Okay, ouch.

Round 3

So lets see how you taste creature before i decide how we should eat you

Arcane strike, Move and tumble to avoid Aoo and position himself in base contact while flanking, Fighting def, Controlled rage (free)

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Bite: 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 2 - 4 = 231d8 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 + SA: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5

Current AC 28

Dang. I always forget to use Acrobatics when moving in combat. Rookie mistake, cost me big this time.

Yeah ouch...

Kalasin cast a pained look towards Cale as he inquired to her state of being. "N-no..." It hurt, oh it hurt. She was not okay. 'I'll keep you safe. All you have to do, is let me out.' Let Her out? Was it really that simple? Hearing the pained noises from Goragg as he was hit, helped her make up her mind. She feared death, for her friends and herself, more than she feared them finding out anymore. If giving in helped save them...

With one last quick glance at her companions, she opened the door to the change, welcomed it. Her mouth filled with sharp teeth as it extended along with her nose to form a snout. Her ears grew longer, more pointed, and shifted more towards the top of her head. her hair faded to a grey-brown color and shortened while hair the same color sprouted up over the rest of her body. Her stance shifted more to the balls of her feet.

Powering Change Shape(Su).
Move Action to Use Change Shape, no AoO provoked
Pre-Change HP: 5
Pre-Change AC: 18

Her eyes flashed gold before settling back to blue, as the now wolf-human Kalasin stepped back and away from the creature. She eyed it carefully. While she could take more hits like this. She was still hurting from it's blows to her human form. A low growl escaped from her throat. She wanted to heal Goragg, but right now the only way to do so was to heal that... thing as well.

Standard: Move 20ft, Risking AoO
Current AC: 22
Current HP: 11

Neither Grim nor the Werewolf that suddenly appears where Kalasin was standing are attacked as they move, one toward, and one away, from the blob of water.

Map Updated - Waiting on Cale

Sorry everyone, very busy lately, most of you probably heard from others or other games, wife had surgery Monday. Botting Cale, I was only planning on waiting till the 23rd, but then things got complicated over the weekend and I forgot he had left.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Wow, same as the last thing he rolled, and a miss...

Init Aldrah: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Init Cale: 1d20 ⇒ 13
Init Goragg: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Init Grim: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Init Kalasin: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Init Thingy: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Grim, then Thingy, then everyone else

Round 4

Arcane Strike (swift, Rage (maintain)

Bite: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 2 = 341d8 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 + SA: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

Crit Conf Bite: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 2 = 181d8 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 + SA: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7

Claw: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 2 = 161d6 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 + SA: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

Claw: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 2 = 281d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 + SA: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

It should fall real soon now !

Current AC 25

Sorry grim, your sneak attack doesn't seem to have done anything, nor has the critical. You're character realizes this thing doesn't seem to have any internal structure or anatomy, and therefore no vital spots. It also doesn't seem to be all that bothered by having enemies on either side, as instead of whipping it's 'head' around, grim notices that there are two indentations that look like eyes watching him from it's side

Grim takes a massive bite out of the creature and tastes hot water! Spitting the hot water out of his mouth to avoid a burn, Grim realizes this is some sort of elemental. His second claw misses, but the third claw hits.

The creature looks like about half of it's mass has been displaced.

It turns on Grim, not by turning, but by simply growing a head and arms facing him, and the big psuedopod of liquid slams at Grim.

Slam: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 1 = 17

But Grim is only covered by water and mud as the thing slams into the ground next to him, causing ten foot high fountain of mud and water to spray up on all sides.

Everyone else

This is the reason why i separate my damage :)

Friends Tonight we shall be having, Hot Soup made of Fresh Water. Seasoned with fish. In fact we can make a decent boullabaisse Out of this Water Critter thingy ! Tally Ho !

Goragg, seeing the ineffectiveness of his beloved falchion, switches to a different type of weapon.

Heavy Flail: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Goragg smashes a chunk of water out, but it's still less than he would have expected given how solid a hit he delivered.

She sniffed at the water creature thing, cautious and on guard. Grim was babbling on about using it for food. It made her question his sanity. She decided to ignore his chatter for now, focusing on where she could get to help heal Goragg and not catch the walking Hot-Spring too. 'If... I can get over there, I think I can do it.' She made her cautious dash for the space in her sight, making sure to stay out of range (or so she hoped). After all, she might could take more hits now, but that didn't mean she wanted too.

Double Moving to try to get into a better position to keep Goragg from going down and not catching our water friend.

Botting Cale

Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Cale finally connects and takes a nice chunk of water out of the creature.

Init Cale: 1d20 ⇒ 7
Init Goragg: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Init Grim: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Init Kalasin: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Init Thingy: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Goragg, Grim, then Thingy, then everyone else

Heavy Flail: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 Damage: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Round 5

Arcane Strike (swift)

Bite: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 271d8 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Claw: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 151d6 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Claw: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 261d6 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

It should fall real soon

Current AC 25

And the water collapses, as if it were never there.

Grim killed it

The threat gone, Kalasin quickly resumes her human form. 'Maybe they didn't catch that...' She headed closer to the other again. "That thing hit hard. Ashava, আমাদের আরোগ্য."

She channeled healing energy through the group.

Channel Energy (Heal): 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7

Current HP: 12

Well that water creature was rather disturbing, but hey we won

he says smiling

Ugh, thanks, that feels better.

So, Kalasin, do you turn into a wolf in the real world, or just here?

"I... I can do it in the real world too..."

Huh. Nice trick. Not as useful as turning into a Hobgoblin, but still...

Goragg resumes his previous activity, cleaning his weapons and applying (relatively useless) hobgoblin "home cures" on his wounds.

Kalasin blinks owlishly for a moment. She had not been expecting that response. It's after that moment, a small smile breaks out.

You're a natural or did it come later?

says grim opening his portable alchemy set

"That ability to change is useful." Cale adds on even as he scouts around the place to enusre there is no further danger.

Just an excuse to roll some dice lol
Perception 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

"Natural." She noticed Grim getting out his alchemy set. 'Probably wants to run some tests.' "It can be useful, but not everyone sees it that way."

A natural hey. Well then good for you. he says smiling and working in his potions and stuff after taking some sample of what is left of the water creature

Offering his companion a smile, Cale nods even as he scans their surrounds.

"No worries Kalasin, Some are too blind to look beyond what their eye can see. They should use their hearts more often." a negligent wave over himself.

There is no nodule in the creature, oddly enough. As the group looks around, they realize there are dozens of the creatures around the water spout, all floating in pools.

The group can move back and skirt around the pools, but will be unable to more closely investigate the water spout. Or they can go closer and try to investigate without stumbling over a creature.

Dozens of the same creature or different creatures?

If they're the same, Goragg's going nowhere near the pools.

They appear the same type, although some are smaller, and others are larger.

This is probably a living area for these creatures so lets leave them at that and move on shall we?

You don't have to convince me. Can't even eat the damned things.

"Then shall we move?"

yup

You could drink them however!

Slammed at work, posting today sporadic, will free up tonight

Hot-Spring Elemental. now that sounds like a local drink. :)

Kalasin gave Cale a greatful smile before she spoke up in agreement with moving on. "Sure, let's keep going."

Also, I'll use the rest of my Channel (or until everyone is full) when we next camp if we don't run into something between now and then.

The group gives the giant boiling hot springs and massive plume of water a very very wide berth. At the very least, they have found the cause of the near constant rainfall. Unfortunately the boiling hot water shoots up several thousand feet before spreading out like an umbrella, and the height seems to be cooling the water off rapidly.

It seems, however, that only the water creatures live here, as they encounter no more life forms as long as they avoid the plumes. They do, now that they know what to look for, see the occasional plume on the horizon.

Ok, ramping back up, sorry for the delays, will try to post more actively now. At least once a day. I need 3 survival checks. DC 20. Everyone with survival rolls, I'll take the highest roll for each slot (1, 2, and 3) and add +2 if anyone manages to make the 'aid other' DC.

Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Survival: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

So far this Hecate isn't so bad after all he says smiling

Survival Aid Another 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Survival Aid Another 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Survival Aid Another 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

"A little too damp for my liking..." Cale shudders remembering the sea journey.
