DM-Camris' SAVAGE TIDE: Chapter 3, The Savage Kraken's Wake! (Inactive)

Game Master Camris

Round 2_______________________

Bryson Deepwinter_______
Bryson-Cat reaches out to slash and gnash at the salad monster (#44).
With a demonic scream, Bryson-Cat pounced on the vine-creature and… absolutely tore it completely apart! The only thing left are a nasty taste on his tongue and green ichor spatters on the crew and Marius.

.Suny._______
Seeing the threat to her fellow freinds and crew mates Suny bursts into a whirl of fists, feet and other extremities.
[ooc]The crewmen are amazed as Suny’s attacks tear into the creature. The shocks propagate through it’s body, but it’s clear that much of the force she is dishing out is lost to the flexible materiel the creature is made of.
Still, she is having an effect. Red62 is looking ragged now.

Burian Faldaeral________
Burian eyes the creature as he lashes out again with his hair. He aims at the vine beast's lower half and yanks.. trying to topple it.
The hair cuts into the creatures body a little, then trips it prone.

(npc) Ghirrak________
Ghirrak’s punches hit again, but only did minor damage this time. Like Suny, his blows energy was largely absorbed by the creature.

(npc)Burian__________
Burian started with an acid splash, which made a satisfying burn on Red 45.

The crew attack the creatures, but only one hits for some damage on Red 64.

ENEMIES_________________
Red 34 attacked Burian, hit the first attack for 9 damage, hit the second hitting for 6 damage. Grapple fails.
Red 35 attacked Ghirrak, missed the first attack, missed the second.
Red 36 attacked Ghirrak, missed the first attack, missed the second.
Red 45 attacked Marius, missed the first attack, made the second hitting for 7 damage. Grapple fails.
Red 62 attacked a Crewman, hit the first attack hard for 9 damage, missed the second. Grapple fails.
Red 64 attacked a Crewman, hit the first attack for 7 damage, missed the second. Grapple fails.

Round 3_______________________

Players take your turn in order of posting, enemies will go last.

TACTICAL OVERVIEW

Taking a step back, Marius let fly with his ring again, at full force this time.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 1) = 5 Bull rush: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25

Sowwie! No time for long potsin'. Maybe in'a couple a days? :(

Suny pauses for a moment, huffing as she catches her breath standing between the icky things and her freinds. Glancing over a shoulder she calls to the pair of crew closets to her.

"Form pairs! Get nets! Hold tha' nets wiff poles or boardin' hooks! Drap tha' icky's wiff 'em. Get 'em all tangled, like. GO!" She orders then turns back to the wet shamblers.

Att Rolls when I can. (^_^)

Cutlass still in hand - ready to strike when the creature tries to stand, Burian whips his hair in a downward slash.
He hears Sunny's words, and adds... "Cutting weapons.. axes and swords will wound them most!"

Dam Roll 4:1d8 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + (5, 5) = 11(+Boar Style)

Twirling to a stop after another hectic few moments. Wiping her fore-head she huffs,

"We has met tha' enemy...... An' they is iky..."

With an irritated grow, Ghirrak draws a pair of rarely used silver daggers from his belt, slashing one of the plant creatures in front of him.

Silvered masterwork dagger: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Round 3_______________________

Marius Hawk_______________________
Taking a step back, Marius let fly with his ring again, at full force this time.
The force-ram slammed into the vine horror and blew it back off the quarterdeck and into the fog shrouding the maindeck. Cries of alarm sounded by the crew, judging by the sound.

.Suny._______
Suny pauses for a moment, huffing as she catches her breath standing between the icky things and her freinds. Glancing over a shoulder she calls to the pair of crew closets to her.
"Form pairs! Get nets! Hold tha' nets wiff poles or boardin' hooks! Drap tha' icky's wiff 'em. Get 'em all tangled, like. GO!" She orders then turns back to the wet shamblers.
As the two crewmen retreated to grab pikes, Suny erupts in a flurry of punches and kicks. Mostly they are absorbed in the flexible material of the Horrors; but one punch shocks the creature severely. She pulls out a massive clump of something that seems to be important, and the creature collapsed in a welter of stinking rotting vines.
"We has met tha' enemy...... An' they is iky..."

Burian Faldaeral_______
Cutlass still in hand - ready to strike when the creature tries to stand, Burian whips his hair in a downward slash.
He hears Sunny's words, and adds... "Cutting weapons.. axes and swords will wound them most!"
Burian’s hair lashed out again, cutting into the creature again. As it stood up, his cutlass slashed into it also, though both injuries seemed light.

Bryson Deepwinter______
Bryson moves to help Marius. He causes a bolt of lightning to strike at the monster.
Bounding forward to keep the creature in sight, Bryson’s lighting bolt took another chunk out of it, leaving it smoldering. This did not stop it from standing up again.

Ghirrak Ironfist_______
With an irritated grow, Ghirrak draws a pair of rarely used silver daggers from his belt, slashing one of the plant creatures in front of him.
Ghirrak’s blade flashed, cutting a number of the vines holding the thing together.

The crewmen around you also pitch in, though less effectively.
Ghirrak’s man actually fumbled his cutlass! He wasted much time scrambling to pick it up.
Burian’s man hit, dealing some damage.
Sunny’s men came back with a net and a boarding hook. The net missed, but the boarding hook pulled it back again.
Marius’ two men leapt forward swinging cutlasses, one missed, one hit for modest damage.

ENEMIES_________________
Red 34 attacked Burian, hit the first attack for 4 damage, missed the second.
Red 35 attacked Ghirrak, missed the first attack, missed the second.
Red 36 attacked Ghirrak, missed the first attack, missed the second.

Red 64 attacked Sunny, but missed badly enough to fall prone at her feet.

TACTICAL OVERVIEW

Round 3_______________________

Sunny’s men came back with a net and a boarding hook. The net missed, but the boarding hook pulled it back again.

Sunny shakes her head at the pair's antics,

"Nah, Sillys. Ye put tha' net on'a end of tha' poles an' then ye drape 'em wiff it." She explains with a cheerful grin... only to have the target of her ire splat before her.

Red 64 attacked Sunny, but missed badly enough to fall prone at her feet.

"Or.." Sunny shrugs, "Ye can drape it over tha' Icky now, like..."

Perception:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

She looks about for who might need help with dealing with any other Ickys nearby....

AoO:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 (Keep tha' Icky down fer tha' fellers ta' get tha' net over it, if'n it tries ta' be gettin' up.)

CMB:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 (Keep tha' Icky down fer tha' fellers ta' get tha' net over it, if'n it tries ta' be gettin' up.)

Bryson roars and causes another bolt of lightning to strike the plant monster (22?)
Call Lightning DC 18: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 5) = 11

Blue 22 is a crewman.
Bryson's lightning bolt blows Red 45 to smithereens, spattering your crewmen with green ichor. But Bryson is far enough away to avoid getting gunked.

Burian continues lashing out with his hair.

hair: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 = 11
slashing damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

"Keep moving and keep the railings clear," Marius advised, following the railing down the ship, ready to blast any plant creatures which presented themselves back off the ship again.

In a fight like this, his ring's ability to knock enemies back over the side was likely to be very useful, but he might wind up severely depleting it by the time the night was done.

Ghirrak unleashes a series of lightning quick slashes, but finds himself distracted by the fumbling crewman.

Well that was pathetic

Look-it on'a bright side? Now, no one else is gon'a worry 'bout all'a low numbers. Ye done used 'em all up! (^_^)

Round 4______________________

.Suny.____________
Sunny shakes her head at the pair's antics,
"Nah, Sillys. Ye put tha' net on'a end of tha' poles an' then ye drape 'em wiff it." She explains with a cheerful grin... only to have the target of her ire splat before her.
"Or.." Sunny shrugs, "Ye can drape it over tha' Icky now, like..."
The Vine Horror kept trying to stand up and attack, but Sunny kept hitting it and tripping it prone again. Once, twice, three times at least. It’s looking a little ragged too.
She looks about for who might need help with dealing with any other Ickys nearby....
Sunny glanced around for more enemies, but cannot see far in the fog. Nothing else close at least.

Bryson Deepwinter_______
Bryson roars and causes another bolt of lightning to strike the plant monster (22?)
Blue 22 is a crewman.
Bryson's lightning bolt blows Red 45 to smithereens, spattering your crewmen with green ichor. But Bryson is far enough away to avoid getting gunked.

Burian Faldaeral______
Burian continues lashing out with his hair.
But missed.

Marius Hawk______
"Keep moving and keep the railings clear," Marius advised, following the railing down the ship, ready to blast any plant creatures which presented themselves back off the ship again.
Making his way past Bryson onto the maindeck, he crept forward until he could see a couple of crewmen apparently using cutlasses and torches to surprisingly good effect against another Vine Horror.

Ghirrak Ironfist _______
Ghirrak unleashes a series of lightning quick slashes, but finds himself distracted by the fumbling crewman.
Much of his blizzard of attacks are simply absorbed by the flexible plant fibers, but at least one punch did vital damage.

The crewmen around you also pitch in, though less effectively.
Ghirrak’s man barely hit again, doing minimal damage.
Burian’s man hit solidly, dealing average damage.
Sunny’s men threw a net over the creature, now that sunny had tripped it prone. They promptly shredded it with cutlasses until it was a pile of mulch.
Marius’ two men leapt forward swinging cutlasses helping the two others to attack Red 11. Two hit solidly for good damage, the other two missed with cutlasses, but one hit with a torch which burned and crisped the plant materiel.

ENEMIES_________________
Red 34 attacked Burian, missed. It attacked his crewman, hit him solidly and entangled him. He drew the crewman next to him and started to retreat, the crewman screaming for help.
Red 35 attacked Ghirrak, missed the first attack, missed the second.
Red 36 attacked Ghirrak’s crewman, hit the crewman for damage, but missed the grapple.
Red 11 attacked a crewman, hit for damage but failed the grapple.

Round 5______________________

Players take your turn in order of posting, enemies will go last.

TACTICAL OVERVIEW

Burian frantically whips his hair at the vine creature trying to drag a crew member away.
"Hold on! I won't let it take you!"

slashing hair vs red34: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 1 = 25
damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Round 4______________________

Red 34 attacked Burian, missed. It attacked his crewman, hit him solidly and entangled him. He drew the crewman next to him and started to retreat, the crewman screaming for help.

Hearing the cries for help Suny nods to her two freind giving them a cheerful 'Thumbs up' of encouragement.

Diplomacy:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Before scampering off to help the poor soul in trouble.

Get to tha' railing at E-5 an' try an' get a'hind of tha' critter whut's got our bloke.

Dropping into a low sweep, Ghirrak's leg lashes out, first to take the legs of one then the other of his opponents, following through with a powerful hammering punch

Heh it's been so long I forgot what we were fighting. Can you even trip a plant monster?

Since he had a clear sot at the creature, Marius struck out with the ring again, aiming to knock the creature off whatever passed for its feet so it would be easy pickings for the crew.

Ring of the Ram on Red 11, 3 charges. Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1) = 9 Bull rush: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 20 = 37

Can you even trip a plant monster?

They're called Vine Horrors, and while it's harder than it might be normally yes you can trip them.

Burian, Ghirrak, Bryson and Marius dispose of their individual opponents and/or rescue crewmen and make their way through the fog towards the waist, where a red glow and shouts indicate trouble.

DECK MAP
Having trouble with the file, scroll down to page 2.

Coming to an open area, you see that the fog had been cleared in an area by an open bonfire in the middle of the deck. It looks like one of the ship's boats had been broken up and ignited with tar as an accelerant.
It looks as if the crew is trying to push the Vine Horrors into the bonfire, and the Horrors are fighting back.

It looks like Red 13 and 14 are struggling with two crewmen each in an even fight.
It looks like Red 38 is successfully being shoved towards the bonfire by three crewmen.
It looks like Red 12 and Red 37 have succeeded in grappling and pinning crewmen to their bodies and are dragging them towards the railing.
It looks like Professor Urol Forol is shooting fire and sparks at Red 15 with a Staff of Fire and shouting encouragement to the sailors.

Round 11______________________

Players take your turn in order of posting, enemies will go last.

TACTICAL OVERVIEW
Having trouble with the file, scroll down to page 2.

Although a blazing fire aboard ship was definitely a bad thing, the attempted abduction of the crew took priority for the moment.

Taking the metaphorical gloves off, Marius hurled a bolt of fire at the closest offender.

Scorching ray at red 12. Ranged touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 3, 1) = 16

Seeing the dire predicament of the two crew members... (And the ship!) Suny tumbles into action.

"Oh no ye DON'T!" She declairs attemping to close on Red 37, the closer of the two grappling enemies.

Acrobatics:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 (To cross the distance)

Taking the metaphorical gloves off, Marius hurled a bolt of fire at the closest offender.
Scorching ray at red 12. Ranged touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 3, 1) = 16
The bright ray hit the Vine Horror, crisping part of its left leg and lighting part of it on fire.

Suny______
"Oh no ye DON'T!" She declairs attemping to close on Red 37, the closer of the two grappling enemies.
Tumbling across the deck, she tried to trip it. But with all the vines coming off of it makes it more difficult than normal and it doesn’t go down.
"Here! Give that'n back! Bad Icky-thing!"

Burian Faldaeral______
"Put out that fire! Now! It is burning through the deck to the gunpowder stores!"
He runs that direction, and assists Sunny by slashing at the vine creature
Burian’s weird hair easily lashed out to grapple it, cutting it for minor damage in the process.

Bryson Deepwinter______
Bryson-Cat runs at the closest vine creature as he tries to reach Urol and mauls it.
Bryson cat threaded his way through the melee and pounced on the burning Vine Horror heading for Professor Forol. In a blur of fang and claws, he shreds the plant creature completely apart apart, leaving a cloud of sparks and a spatter of mulch covering everything in the area.

(npc) Captain Ghirrak_______
Ghirrak charged forward and made a flying kick, trying to bull rush the creature (Red 37) overboard.
Connecting solidly, the creature and his victim are flung backward, toppling over the railing. They fall, but are brought up suddenly as they are hanging from Burian’s prehensile hair. Burian is hauled closer to the rail by their weight as the creature’s vines snake up towards him.

Three crewmen force Red 38 into the bonfire and cheer as it goes up in flames.

More crewmen struggle with Red 13 and 14, to no result.

Red 37 reaches up and grapples Burian as well.

Round 12______________________

Players take your turn in order of posting, enemies will go last.

TACTICAL OVERVIEW

Suny is conflicted.

On the one hand... um, hair. Poor Burian is working hard at not letting one of the crew get taken away. The fellow now danging by a bunch of hair threads.

On the other hand... The ship IS ON FIRE

(O_o)

Perception:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Quickly moving to the railing she leans over and, with a deft flick of her hand, palm something into her mouth.... Only to thence blast the danging plant creature with a blast of sound.

Sonic Attack:2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

Thence Suny tries to kick the rope lying on the deck over the side so that the haning crew-person has something to hold onto when the icky thing expires.

Acrobatics:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

(¬_¬)

With... the whole rope pobably going over the side with a role like that......

"Done!" Marius called, turning his attention to the fire, "Everyone! Eyes closed! Now!"

After giving the crew scant seconds to comply, Marius cast his spell, converting the blaze into a spectacular and much too close display of fireworks.

Not that he saw it himself, having shut his eyes tightly at the moment of detonation. A momentary flare of light had seemed a lesser evil than a cloud of choking smoke, and either of course was preferable to the gunpowder stores exploding.

Casting pyrotechnics to extinguish the fire (or at least a 20 foot cube of it, depending how big it is), and using the fireworks effect. Anybody with line of sight to the fire will be blinded for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 rounds, DC16 Will negates. This may include the vine horrors, depending on whether they have eyes.

"Done!" Marius called, turning his attention to the fire, "Everyone! Eyes closed! Now!"

"Whaaa...?"

"Oooo! Sparkl..."

"GAAAAH!" (>_<)

Whut did peoples be aspectin' ?

spellcraft to ID Marius's spell: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Burian grits his teeth as his hair momentarily carries the weight of foe and crewmember. He shuts his eyes as instructed by Marius, and hacks at the vine horror with his cutlass. Unable to see his target, he fails to connect.

Ready or not, Marius' cast spell caused the bonfire to explode in a cascade of blinding fireworks! The blaze of fiery sparks and exploding showers of sparkling motes disorient and blind half the crew and all of the vine creatures.

Seizing the initiative, the rest of the crew manages to force, intimidate or cut the vine creatures to pieces and force them overboard.
Burian's weird hair manages to extract a crewman from being dragged overboard, but a quick headcount reveals two crewmen unaccounted for and probably kidnapped.

Not that Bryson cares, but which two are missing?

While everyone collapsed on deck to rest, exhausted after the fight, Bonden curtly reported to Captain Ironfist that both Cody McCool and Lirith Veldirose were missing; probably taken by the vine creatures.

But as the crew ponders this news, lookouts report another attack!
More waves of the creatures, more whispers of 'outsidersss...' more attempted captures by the vines.

And when this one is beaten back, yet another surged out of the humid mists of the sargasso night.

It is only when the morning light appears overhead and burns away the night fog that the attacks stop, and you are left alone.

For now.

Annie, looking exhausted, goes about triaging everyone according to how wounded they are.

How wounded are you at this point?

Bryson is not injured at all.

Bryson goes to Ghirrak. "Ah'ma get some rest. Then ah'ma go to the center and kill the evil that reside there. You can come or not. But if you stay and wait, they will come again tonight and again and again until you are no more."

For those that need it...

When all the wounded are gathered, Annie proceeds to raise her holy symbol high and Channels Positive Energy twice.
Sparkling golden energy washes over you all, easing the injuries you've taken.
Positive Energy Healing: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 4) = 10
Positive Energy Healing: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 2) = 7

Sorry fer bein' slow like.

Will be postin' soonist I can

Wishin' evey one all'a very bestest!

Burian sighs in relief as the divine energy courses through his bruised and bloody body. He nods to Annie. "Thank you."

He then looks around. "Unless I'm needed for a watch, think I'll sack out for a bit as well."
