Frustrated at the lack of options, he nodded to Wily, "No, that won't work."
He pulled out his his tools as he pushed everyone out of the way and chuckled, "Just be ready to mend me if I break."
The half-elf then went about to carefully open the chest and dismantling the trap he'd found.
Amaru squats in front of the chest, tools carefully working in his hand.
Suddenly you here a click .... whoosh and Amaru is blown back toward the group.
A creature emerges from the rock and stone of the floor! It appears to be made of the earth itself!
PCs may go first. Dewyn guesses this is a summoned creature of some sort.
Map updated in a moment.
Noonan is still feeling a little battered and so draws and drinks a potion of CLW
"Lookout!!!! Something's coming up from the earth!!!" Darvan cries out.
He turns to Noonan and stretches out his hand. The power of Gozreh flows from him and into the barbarian as he casts Bulls Strength on him.
"Beat it down!!!" he yells out.
RAWR!
Cursing himself for being careless, the half-elf dropped his tools and whipped out his blades.
He slashed and stabbed at the monster in front of him.
Forgot to post - creature's AC is 18, touch 8, flat footed 18.
@ Amaru - you roll like I do when I play!
@ Amaru - you roll like I do when I play!
After casting, Darvan moves 20', circling around to the south for a better position.
Need an action for Dewyn. Make it a big one!
Deywyn moves around the pillar some trying to stay out of harms way of the creature. He conjures a globe of acid and tosses it at the creature testing its defenses.
Acid Splash vs Touch AC
and just does the lowest he can go x_x
Dewyn is the only one that hits it, and there seems to be little effect!
It beats its chest and howls in rage at being forced here into an atmosphere, and bashes Amaru
missing
hitting for
damage
players are up!

HP 34/45(42/53 when raging
Rage 4/12
Effects 1 Con loss (14 con),Bull's Strength(+2 hit/damage),Heroism(+2 hit/saves/skills)Rage
Noonan rages and charges the creature(+2 strike, -2 ac)
Amaru reeled from the blow but moved to the south and struck with his two blades.
Noonan is covered in a shower of dirt and pebbles from his mighty hit. The thing reels from Amaru's slice and Willie's arrow.
Dewyn and Darvan - go!
Darvan moves around to a position behind the earth creature to a position where he flanks it with Noonan.
Once in position, he stabs the creature in the back with his trident.
It has a 10' reach!
AoO at Darvan
to confirm a possible crit
(confirmed)
damage!
KA-POW!!!
You hear a low rumbling sound, like the rhythmic sound of granite boulders rubbing together, and you realize the thing is laughing.
(having some internet / Paizo connectivity issues but I think Dewyn still needs to go. Make it a big one!)
"Ouch .... Pour it on lads" Darvan exclaims as he takes the mighty punch from the rock beast.
"Dewyn, can you weaken it with a ray of enfeeblement?"
Seeing the captain go down, Amaru's blood boils again and the half-elf is once more a wild native defending his home.
, critical
, yes
, miss
@ Amaru - the Captain isn't down (yet) and after Dewyn goes, it is the creature's turn, then we will use your attacks.
" not sure captain but it's certainly worth trying! "
Deywyn casts a beam of arcane energy at the creature hoping it hits home!
Vs touch AC
points of strength are drained from the creature!
The creature has a fort save against the ray of enfeeblement.
, passing, so it loses 2 pts of strength.
The creature roars and attacks the party.
at Noonan, hitting for damage
at Amaru, hitting for damage
Amaru went (posted early above), damaging the thing.
Noonan, Darvan, Dewyn need to go.
Staggered from the punch he took while circling the beast, Darvan stabs it again with his trident.
Hitting, but not doing much damage.
BUT - its enough damage. The creature collapses in a pile of earth and rock.
(out of combat)
The lid of the chest is open and you see glimmers of gold, platinum, silver, a few gems, and things wrapped in fine cloth or bags - all half buried in dirt from the creature.
You figure there was some sort of summoning spell trap on the chest, and you fought some sort of earth elemental.
Darvan breathes a sigh of relief and rests his weight on his trident for a moment.
He straightens up, turns his head to the left, and spits a tooth over his shoulder.
"Still need to find that dentist!!!" he exclaims.
He focuses his power and expends his last channel for the day.
Healing everyone for 9 damage.
He walks over to Amaru and lays his hand upon the mans chest (converting a hold person into a Cure Moderate)
He converts air bubble into a cure light wounds to
and a the same for shield of faith into a cure light wounds to
Then he says "Somebody take a look in that chest and tell us what we've found ... I need to take a load off." and he sits down on the step heavily.
Deywyn approaches the chest with caution and beings sifting through the dirt and rubble doing his best to see what was left behind in the chest.
Noonan powers and and looks in the chest. Gold,silver, gems and some other things. Good haul.
The chest is full of goodies.
1,000 platinum pieces
6,000 gold pieces
20,000 silver pieces.
small collection of gemstones worth a total of another 1,000 gold pieces.
a magic longsword
3 magic javelins
a small pouch with 3 small tubes; each magical
4 scrolls with the following magic user spells in total
- jump
- feather fall
- detect undead
- unseen servant
- enlarge person
- hideous laughter
- dispel magic
And everyone can level up to 5th.
And, to save time for the inevitable rolls to identify the magic stuff, here they are:
+1 keen longsword
3 javelins of lightening
3 tubes of dust of appearance
Amaru beamed at the treasure and just picked up some coins and let them sift through his fingers. He laughed and looked more foolish than his monkey.
he hefted one of the magical javelins and asked, "I'd like to keep one of them. may I?"
He grabbed some more coins, "And whatever part of this is mine."
"Amaru, while we stuff all of this into sacks, what say you slip up to the top of the pyramid and look around to see if there's anything amiss." Darvan suggests to the rogue.
"Amaru, while we stuff all of this into sacks, what say you slip up to the top of the pyramid and look around to see if there's anything amiss." Darvan suggests to the rogue.
Still happy with the new loot, the half-elf nodded. "Aye, captain. Wanna make sure nobody's outside waiting for us."[/b
He turned to Noonan, "Yo, stay close but keep quiet."
With that, the rogue stealthily retraced his steps to the top, hoping to be under the sun soon.
Noonan stays a good 30 feet back from Amaru
What could be outside the temple? Like, maybe 15,000 lizardmen angry with you for destroying their new god and temple?
Nothing is outside. The boat is as you tied it up.
Insects buzz, birds chirp, the occasional fish jumps in the stream.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
Noonan attacks the gazebo killer birds.
We'll load up the boat and head back.
"Keep an eye open for anythin' suspicious....." Darvan says to the team.
The boat rides noticeably low in the water when loaded with the loot. But the water is calm here and this should not be a worry.
Unless you are tipped over by something and eaten, that is.
Several days pass without mishap and you make it back to the Hag All cannons are transferred to her and cleaned and ready to go.
Anything of value has been looted from the wrecked ship.
You climb aboard the Hag shouting greetings and swilling just a bit of rum.
The loot is brought aboard and all eyes look at it greedily.
Then the look out yells out Black sail coming round the headland! Two masts, methinks! Mayhaps a junk?
Ease up, shares will be handled. Noonan guards the loot and then looks out over the water. Claim jumpers?
"Stow the treasure below decks!"
"All hands to yer stations!!! Look lively!!!!" Darvan hollers out to the crew.
"Let's get the 'Hag underway. I'll want to meet them with us under way." he calls.
"Somebody get a good look at them. I want to know if that's Boom-Boom!"
Noonan shivers the timbers.
Amaru climbed to the top of rigging and took a look.
