Bri will try to put to sleep the eel constricting Astri. will dc 19

Between Ptahh and Bri both grabbing for Astri, her frantically latching on they are able to snag her just as Chell lowers the water in dramatic fashion. You can see this is an extremely deep pool. Astir's feet kick in the air as she suddenly airborne.

Better than getting dropped into the abyss! Now, how's Chell going to get across?

I could try and carry her. Does the extra weight affect the spell?

I could try and carry her. Does the extra weight affect the spell?

the spell is good for a Gargantuan or smaller creature touched. So I'll let you carry her assuming you can lift the load.

The next round Ptahh moves and places Astri on the ground, then walks back to Chell. It will take one more round to get Chell to the other sides.

Astrianna is quite relieved to be on draw land after the encounter with the eels. She decides that unless there is a dire need, she's going to stay on solid ground. Her rapier is returned to its sheath for the moment.

The bard waits for a message from Sorrin before continuing beyond the rocky outcropping.

Ptahh is going back to ferry Chell across the pool, but what are the rest of you doing? Sorrin are you using the message to keep Astri informed?

*I've been slacking on my map production bu should be back on track soon. I am going to want to push the rate of posting up a bit in frequency. not insanity levels for much more brisk, to get this story line moving and concluded.

So the next round Ptahh picks up Chell and whisks her to other side to join her companions. the effects of her spell easily keeping the electric eels at bay. By the time this occurs, Astri hears Sorrin's voice in her head...

She gestures to her companions to move forward. "Sorrin says there's a pool 100 feet long up ahead with iron cages holding prisoners. Let's go."

Astrianna draws her longbow and begins to climb the rocky outcropping, moving forward with her lights.

Move to O31

Bri stays by Astri while Ptahh fetches Chell.

When Astri mentions the prisoner message from Sorrin, Bri right along with her up the rocky outcropping.

Astrianna relays Sorrin's information to the rest of the group. "Several pirates and two shark-men up ahead. Sorrin thinks they're spreading the kiss to the pirates, some ceremony. There's a boy and the prisoners there too, watch for friendly fire."

The group moves forward, Astri's light shining ahead of them, when you finally come out of the tunnel. You can hear whimpering and crying coming from the cages suspended form the roof. The glow of your lights draws attention from the across the water pool.

How high up is the cage suspended and what is directly under it?

The book doesn't indicate how high the cages are only that they hang from the ceiling. I'll say the cages are only 2-3 feet from the water surface and the water can lap into the bottom espeically when there is thrashing in the pool. A terrifying effect for those waiting their turn to be kissed.

Here is a description.
They see Astri's light, but they do not see Sorrin.

A ledge along the west wall of this chamber juts like a platform eastward to the center of the water and stands just above the waterline. Rusted iron cages hang from the ceiling by chains. The water slaps the stone, black as midnight, and renders the depth of the pool indeterminate.

You see two hybrid shaped enforcers lift the fisherman recently ravished boy and stuff him back into his rusted cage. There he bleeds and moans in agony, covering the hideous gashes across his midsection with his bleeding arms. Three others joke about it when they notice the light coming form the other side of the lake.

"To arms....to arms."

Tow fo the five creatures spend the round changing from into hybrid weresharks, one of the other changes into wereshark and jumps into the water. The remaining two hold actions wiating for the attack to begin.

Sorrin you are up

Sorrin focuses on closing the gap and moves along the ledge...

Double move along the ledge. Rope Master, Take 10 for Acrobatics 24. I'll trust you to place him as far as he can get.

From Rope Master - "can take 10 when using Acrobatics to move over narrow surfaces even when in danger or distracted"

You have to cross the water to get to the other side. It's wall on the north and south of the map, not a ledge. You can probably scale the wall though.

*This map may help more for showing the walls.

Well, that sucks...

Ptahh, can you get me over there?

Ptahh looks around but can not see the source of the voice. Ghosts on the wind. Clearly haunted caves.

Ptahh, it's Sorrin... I'm invisible. Sorrin reaches for Ptahh's hand.

Round 1

Astrianna takes the high ground and casts a spell on her quiver to extend her ammunition reserves. "I'm tempted to dispel the invisibility just to watch ptahh carry you into battle, Sorrin."

Move action: 5' move to O32

Standard action: Cast Abundant Ammunition on quiver #1 (contains adamantine, blunt, and silver arrows). Using a Blunt arrow as the reagent to cast the spell.

just waiting on folks to post.

Waiting on a lift... Special Delivery!

I was trying to wait to see where the other go before I cast any spells or move since I go last .

"I'll get the rest of us across. Just need some cover," Chell says quietly to the others. She moves to a point right across from the rock outcropping O30. She says a brief prayer and soft mist rolls out from her location, obscuring their view. Once they are covered she says, "Give me a minute. I'll make a bridge."

Cast obscuring Mist. Going to build a bridge using Stone Shape. Just need to know if I need one round or two. Currently I can shape 18 cubic feet of stone and the other side is 35ft away. If I make it 6in deep will that still be strong enough? Can I reduce one to dimension for another? Do I need the scroll I have for another 15ft?

The spell says you can shape stone for any shape that suits your purposes, excluding fine detail. I think you are limited to 18 feet but can shape the material in that 18 ft how ever you see fit. Do a forum search on line.

Slight arc, 1/12 rise. 18in at center. An arch bridge is a bridge with abutments at each end shaped as a curved arch. Arch bridges work by transferring the weight of the bridge and its loads partially into a horizontal thrust restrained by the abutments at either side.

K:Engineering: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

I think I can make that. Google search came up with a lot of varied answers. Most involved people trying to use it as a way to capture an enemy. Some DM's said no while others offered a save. They all seemed to agree that as long as what you made fell within the volume you could mold then it was fine. And one source suggested that since it uses clay as a material component, then whatever you can shape with the clay is what you can make with the spell. Can I make a bridge out of clay? Probably. Can I make a statue that looks real? No. The question now becomes can I make a bridge 25 feet long and do it with 18 cubic feet of stone. I don't know. Never made that calculation.

Scientifically speaking... Uh-huh. Yep.

Crap. 35 feet.

Still works, I did hypotenuse!

Sorry about the delay, it's been hectic at the office. To keep it simple without doing geometry, I think you need two spells to cover the distance. You have 18 ft of stone but you can shape the stone within the 18 feet, but that does not include stretching the stone beyond the 18 ft. I could be wrong and would consider reassessing if you can link me to rule or interpretation.

Scientifically speaking... Uh-huh. Yep.

Scientifically speaking, the magic works like...

Ptahh has had time to post, so I'm just going to assume he will do as requested and carry Sorrin.

Initiative order:

Raiders - acted
Sorrin
Astri - moves and casts spell abundant ammunition.
Chell - casting spell
Ptahh - carries Sorrin
Bri

This page mentions a lot of uses for the spell including making a bridge. I assume the only requirement is I must touch the bridge. Which I am. In a RL game I played, one of the players shrank the pillars holding up a roof and we collapsed it on a skeleton dragon. The spell is really useful but I promise not to use it in direct offense.

Hey, Sir. Where does Ptahh drop me? Assuming my action is next round.

Where are you telling Ptahh to drop you off at?

N,17? Can't tell how grid falls. From 20ft up... Expert Leaper ignores 20ft w/DC 15 Acro.

N:17 is fine. This room is bigger than I was able to make it. Each hex was suppose to be 10 ft, but there is only so much I can do the map grids.

Raiders - acted
Sorrin - moves to N:17

bri you're up.

Chell as far as you spell, it really doesn't matter to me. I'll let one spell cover the area.

I know I've been slow on my posting recently, but I'd like to try to move this action forward.

Bri will spend another minute of her flight hex and move straight forward.

How high is the ceiling from the water surface?

60 to 100 feet high.
