The combined attacks of Yuki and Ayre kill the other creatures, causing the water to turn bright red with blood.
Nymph's attack misses the wriggling masses.
Swimming over to check on Yuki Nymph then nods her head towards the tunnel.
Ayre follows
not really
he starts to drown
hedrowns more
yea, not dead
Two paths stretch on either side, left and right.
Which way do you want to go? Also, make a Perception check for me.
Not knowing how many more enemies the group might face, Yuki tries to recover her arrows, pulling two out of dead octo-gobs still usable.
"You don't look so hot, Nymph. Here, let me heal you some." She offers, casting Cure Light Wounds on the ranger.
"Wanna go right?" Yuki asks after a brief look around.
Nymph smiles, a rather human smile, as Yuki heals her, gingerly rubbing the Oracle's sore tummy as she does so.
At her suggestion to go right the sharkkin nods and shrugs in one gesture.
Ayre also swims with a new focus,
The tunnel leading into this natural tidal cavern is decorated with the jawbones of numerous frightful-looking fish, resembling the throat of some hideous aquatic creature.
Four of the same monsters burst from the water to move towards you, and four more move underwater towards you.
X29 to U26
Y25 to V25
Z27 to V26
AA27 to W26
AB29 to X28
Y31 to X26
AB31 to Y28
W31 to W25
They begin their attacks!
Ayre launches a snowball at a foe
for DC 14 to avoid the stagger
The snowball kills a random creature.
The creature at X26 is dead.
Nymph stabs back at the squid things, determined at this rate to wipe them all out lest the oceans continue to suffer their annoyance.
The creature at U26 dies, squealing in high-pitched distress.
It gasps as it dies.
The god will eat you dryfoot!
The rest of the creatures chitter furiously at the death of their comrades by snow and steel.
Yuki swims next Nymph to apply another helpful healing spell.
Galean, once again, begins waving his hands in the air, trying to summon a dolphin.
"Eeeck-eeck!", he shouts, waving his hands, trying to imitate dolphin sounds. "Nymph, hold on!"
The creatures rebound to the appearance of the dolphin and quickly swarm up to attack the intruders.
Their spear thrusts and writhing tentacles churn the seawater a foamy pink with the blood of their fallen companions, and although they fail to connect with Nymph (and Ayre? Is shield up?) they do manage to butcher the appeared dolphin mercilessly.
Nymph stabs at another squidblin while they're distracted with butchering the dolphin.
Deciding to try to thin out the herd of grindylows octo-gobs, Yuki returns to her bow and fires two arrows. When she kills the one south of her with a single head shot, she switches to one of the aberrations to the east.
"Noooo!"
Galean sees his dolphin fall and disappear in the clear waters, and charges a tentacled beast attempting to munch on Nymph.
The druid leaves a wide gash on the grindylow, chopping off a piece of one of the tentacles.
Yuki slays two of the terrible creatures, and Nymph slays another. Galean's blow, though heavy, doesn't manage to slay it.
MAge Armor
Ayre draws his dagger and attempts to cut it
for no longer sharpened if i hit
Only three of the creatures remain mobile, the blood having stained the cover deep red.
Sadly their desperate attacks to defend their homes from marauding dryfeet meet with failure, aside from a lucky spear thrust into Ayre.
Nymph stabs and bites again.
Nymph doesn't manage to kill one of the slimy things, but she does get a big mouthful of salt water and octo-goblin blood.
Yuki fires an arrow at one of the freakish creatures attacking Nymph, "Hey, at least this is better than being on that ship, right?"
Yuki successfully kills another of the beings heroically defending their home against evil invaders.
VS DC 15 spell fizzles
Ayre tries to jolt the foe attacking him
vs touch for
Galean continues his onslaught against the grindilows, swinging cutlass left and right.
Unfortunately for the young druid, they are neither left or right, but rather in front of him.
The creatures attack desperate to kill at least one of you, but Nymph avoids the bite and spear of the creature near her and Ayre's opponent is too damaged by the electric shock to successfully do more than gash the wizard with its teeth.
Back to you.
Nymph stabs and bites again.
VS DC 15
for
Ayre attempts to shock his foe
The spell goes off but misses, as Ayre continues to flail
Yuki tries to finish off the enemy attacking Ayre, but her arrow lands harmlessly in the water.
Nymph kills one of the remaining creatures, and only one is left.
Galean charges at the final creature, muttering some non-sense along the way.
"Die, you... thing!", he shouts as the cutlass connects.
Galean actually manages to connect, leaving you in a - for now - quiet chamber.
While Nymph looks around for loot, Yuki busies herself retrieving her arrows, but only finds one still usable.
She then examines Nymph's injuries and shakes her head sadly, "We really need to get a healing wand or something." Without further ado, she heals the Sharkgirl.
Nymph stops midsearch and does an imitation of cat purring as Yuki heals her, offering the other woman a happy smile in return.
Ayre makes his way to Nymph and casts Infernal Healing, Nymph feels like she is being plunged into ice water then fire, back and forth over and over, but she heals 10
After the searing spasms cease Nymph turns to Ayre with a look devoid of malice and happyness, and gives a slight now of her head in thanks.
Ayre finall reads his monkey fish scroll as well
Inside the grotto you find a number of belongings that the creatures had left in crevices or the waters.
One is a tricorne hat that is awfully familiar looking, and a set of scrolls and ebony symnbol of Besmara.
