nope DC 10 +1 for every HP under 0
ok fine, then its a -3 instead of a +1. either way i bleed
Neither of Nymph's attacks or Yuki's arrow land on the wily octo-gob.
Galean swings his cutlass at the grindylow, back to back with Nymph. "You alright? You smell funny!"
Galean's attack is quite heavy, but fails to kill the ghoul.
Feeling herself start to slip away she lets mind dive deeper towards the shark within in order to defend her friends. Hacking up shark teeth she stabs again at the harpoon wielder.
Stabalized
"Ewww, bad touch, bad touch!" Fighting off the aquatic ghoul's physiological attacks, Yuki swims back 5' and fires two arrows at him.
Yuki successfully kills the ghoul attacking her, leaving only the remaining ghoul and the octo-gob queen, who reels from Nymphs's sword blow but remains intact.
The octo-gob gibbers in pain, then thrusts again with her harpoon.
But misses the due to the attack on herself. The last lacedon reaches for Galean again.
Nymoh stabs again at the aquatic goblin.
A miss - a palpable miss.
Since it worked so well last time, Yuki fires two arrows at the remaining lacedon.
A hit, a palpable hit! But not a kill.

Galean-bot slices at the lacedon.
Galean-bot kills the lacedon, leaving only the shrieking octo-gob.
Galean-bot announces in triumph: Outcome optimal! Continue attack fellow meat-creatures!
------
The octo-gob squeals in terror now, then tries to take down Nymph with one last desparate strike.
The harpoon appears to sink deep, and the octo-gob squeals in delight instead of terror; you're not sure how you can tell, but you can.
As Nymph falls, Yuki steels herself to finish off the octogob queen.
Yuki's arrows both strike home but the octo-gob remains up and screeching.
Drowning in a miasma of her own blood Nymph stabs forth in a frenzy.
Nymph connects but the octo-gob lives!
She continues to jibber and then, in a mighty, terrifying convulsion of her tentacles goes shooting past all of you trailing bubbles in the water.
Galean-bot is upset.
Negative! We cannot allow meat-obstacle to egress! Fellow meat-creatures, pursue at optimal speed after recovering meat-creatures immersed in water!
Galean shudders, the metallic tinge in his voice disappearing. "Yuki, get Nymph! I'll commence pursui... Get the evil sea witch!" Swimming swiftly in the waters,
Galean, you are not in charge range or in a straight line! You can move to Y45?
Also, remember your drowning crewmates and unconscious wizard?
Galean decides against charging blindly towards the nothingness and snaps his fingers. A warm current of water washes around Nymph, the blood stopping to seep through her wounds. The druid heads towards her sinking body, getting ready to lift her to safety.
"Let her run away... We'll get her next time!", he shouts as he begins lifting Nymph away from sinking. "Let's find our crew and get the hell out of here..."
"... Save Tilly... Shandara..." the sharkkin murmurs as Galaen helps her.
With two of her group seriously injured and perhaps in danger of drowning, Yuki lets the octogob queen go and attends to them instead. Since Nymph is still conscious, the oracle first moves to Ayre, casting Cure Light Wounds from one of the scrolls found earlier and healing some of his injuries.
Ayre wakes up and immediately sends two missiles at the octogoblin
magic missile
CON
Ayre successfully wakes up and fires magic missiles at the octo-gob and it strikes home. She shrieks and sinks beneath the waves, leaving you to save Tilly, Badger, Sandara and Nymph.
I thought I had the kidnapped sailors right? Hmmm, I'll look them up again.
They do need to be saved, regardless.
With the octogob menace apparently taken care of, Yuki swims to Nymph and casts the other healing scroll on her.
"Good job guys! Let's get our friends out of here, collect the water, and get back to the ship. Well, if we have time we should probably sleep first."
Ayre swims down and starts cutting sailors free
Stirring back to consciousness and normalcy the first thing Nymph does, instead of giving Yuki a hug, is to swim over to Tilly and start to cut her loose.
Tilly is relieved to see Nymph, and clings happily to her once she's free, although obviously worse for wear - Badger and Tilly have been partially eaten by the octo-gobs.
But now you have a larger issue. You've taken a large amount of time and you're rapidly approaching the deadline to get back to the Man's Promise - and there's a bit of treasure to be had.
Badger is relieved to be rescued and hoarsely exclaims at you, Oh thank the gods! Did Harrigan send you to rescue us?
Sandara is likewise grateful and gives Galean a peck on the cheek. She'll also settle her hat on his head and grin.
That looks pretty good on you, berryboy! You should keep it.
Each sailor had a bundle of 8 four pound silver ingots, worth 20 gp each, attached to their feet. The queen octo-gob had a potion, a wand, a small harpoon, a lobster pot containing two daggers and a silver dagger of seemingly high quality, a rusting sickle of dull gray iron, a fancy blade made of exquisite scrimshaw depicting an octopus encircling a ship, and 12 blades of various shape (roll 1d100 12 times someone!)
In addition dozens of small scrimshaw objects litter the chamber in various nooks and crannies - most worth only a few coppers but you see another scrimshaw piece with an octopus eating whales with gold and silver rings hammered into it. You find a huge hooked tooth from a massive sea creature containing a cavity stuffed with six pearls and a whale skull with some...curious...carvings on it (roll Spellcraft to identify)!
You also find two sets of highly crafted manacles, four crossbow bolts that glimmer strangely in the ocean, a spearhead made of silver, 211 sp and 136 gp scattered on the the floor of the cavern.
Galean, the hat gives you +2 to Profession (sailor) and Swim checks if you want to keep it. It can also turn into a 20 foot long boat (cutter, jolly boat, longboat) with two sets of oars and a single mast with a square sail that can carry up to 12 passengers and crew for up to 8 hours.
You've either got to move all your loot aboard somehow, take the ship or abandon the loot you don't think you can hide in the water barrels. You've got about 2 hours to decide and then you'll be back at the boat.
Galean grins widely as he receives the hat, giving Sandara a spectacular salute. He then goes to the edge of the water and gazes into it, looking at his reflection. "That hat looks awesome!" he says, too excited.
Turning back from his terrifying, brave and utmost manly appearance of a hardened seawolf, Galean begins talking. "Well, we were sent here to get water, but we decided to come get you first. Obviously." His eyes catch the scrimshaw blade, the young boy thinking whether or not he can use it.
"We were planning a mutiny. I suggest we get all the loot onboard, and then when we're fresh in the morning, make the preparations, and strike!" The last word is enhanced by him plunging his cutlass in the sand.
Once all the loot is gathered together, Yuki casts Detect Magic on it and then tries to identify it.
"Well, I think we definitely earned all this cool stuff and should totally bring it with us. I mean, I can just spend an hour everyday creating water, no problem if we need room in the barrels. I was hoping I could heal us all up, but I'm out of spells I think. That might be a problem if Plugg and Goldtooth try to take our loot from us."
