=== New Map ===

Dary is down, Pirin or Risha?

Ok, switch those to Risha then.

And with that Risha plunges into the water.
And Pirin turns invisible.

Whole group is up.

Immediately as Pirin starts casting invisibility, Pad readied spell is unleashed. If she drank a potion, then this action happens on Round 3 on Pad's turn. Any enemies within 30 ft are hit with secondary bolts. "Not so fast Pirin. You haven't properly excused yourself." says a voice from somewhere on the docks.

Chain lightning Ref DC 28: 14d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 4, 2, 6, 5, 1, 5, 3, 4, 2, 4, 6) = 46

End of combat

Savage will take 10 on the rest of his wim checks until he gets back onto shore.

hmm... no prisoners again. Guess this help supports the image of our organization.

Gerri surfaces, "I will start searching for our lost friend, most ruthless of tournament team members."

With that he swims to the boat Risha was closest to, and begins his search.

As Gerri (and maybe the rest of you) enter the ship, the sailors on the ship surrender immediately stating that they want no fight and were just doing what they were hired to do.
They lead you into the hold, where you find Marthysan, bound and unconscious.

Savage does not partake and waits for his party at the beach.

I'll say he burned 5 rounds of rage swimming back to shore, and staying alert for an ambush before slumping onto the sand fatigued.

Gerri will take a minute to make an extrct of CLW and give it to Marthysan, untie him, and bring him and the sailors up for questioning.

CLW Extract: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Pad offers Marthysan healing via spell Greater Infernal Healing for 40 hp. "Please explain what exactly happened. Did you offend the ship's cook?"

This should be interesting... Greater Infernal Healing on a Paladin. One thing to use charlatan healing on him, another to use devil's blood or unholy water. LOL

Marthysan takes a while to wake up. "Thanks for getting me out of this," and shakes his head. "Infernal healing, no as much as your offer is appreciated, I need to decline." as he heals his wounds. "I hope you are fine, you all look alright."
He smiles at the mentioning of the cook, "if it only have been the cook. No, I had to return to my suite to collect a forgotten item, and got jumped by some Golden League agents. I was able to deal with one, but then was overwhelmed. They knocked me out, and this is all I can remember. Seems like the Golden League has their fingers in a lot of parts here, not good."

Isis makes sure her face is the first Marthysan sees as he wakes up.

Poor dear probably missed me.

"There you go, Marthysan. I'm here, don't you worry. I'm here and you don't need to worry," Isis coos, stroking Marthysan's hair.

"Do you know where the Golden League lairs? Is there a place where we can demonstrate the depth of their folly in trying to hurt you?" Isis asks.

When Marthysan's interrogation is over, she will cast Detect Magic and look for clues about the Golden League/loot.

1d20 + 19 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 19 + 2 = 39 Perception

Dora will help where she can as well.
"Marthysan, we are just glad you are ok and we found you in time. This tournament has more side adventures than a circus . "

Ward is outside having a smoke after finally getting to smite something.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Marthysan looks at Isis, "sorry, I have no idea where their lair is." carefully ignoring her stroking and seems a bit tense, relaxing when she starts to search for loot.

"More than a circus, yes, but it's more a nightmare circus at the moment. This is not good for the tournament, it seems that some combatrs have been manipulated. We have to be vigilant, but I fear there is more to come."

The sailors, just being hired and fearing for their lives from the golden League now, as you managed to foil the plot, offer to leave the harbor without another words, and Marthysan has no objection.

looting your enemies: potions of cure serious wounds (2); +1 studded leather, +1 short swords (2), masterwork shortbow with 20 arrows, ring of protection +1, +1 chainmail, +2 greataxe, masterwork throwing axe, +2 spiked full plate, +1 greatsword, ring of protection +1, potion of cure serious wounds, wand of ray of enfeeblement (CL 6th, 14 charges); +1 light crossbow with 20 bolts, masterwork dagger, masterwork sickle, amulet of natural armor +1, cloak of resistance +1, ring of protection +1

DAY FIVE

The final day of the tournament is bright and sunny, with a clear sky and a crisp breeze on the air. The island is abuzz with talk of the events of last night—the battle on New Harbor’s piers and the resulting disqualification of Risha’s team (if they survived the encounter). The crowds are larger today than they have been all week, and everyone is excited to see the semifinal and final rounds and the naming of the next Ruby Phoenix Champion.
Despite his ordeal last night, Marthysan sits at the Emissary’s side, opposite Kiang Zhen. While he looks worse for the wear, the paladin is smiling and excited to pass his title on to another lucky competitor this afternoon.

The fight stage is clear of obstacles, the field of battle left open for a true test of skill unhindered by terrain or other obstructions. The crowd roars in anticipation of the day’s battles between the most skilled combatants of the tournament.

In the semifinal you face Seishuku, the Scarred Ninja. And you have 1 minute to prepare.

Initiatives:
Initiative Dora: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Initiative Gerri: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Initiative Isis: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Initiative Ward: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Initiative Pad: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Initiative Savage: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Initiative Seishuku: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Gerri goes first

Savage takes the cloak of resistance to use in the tournament.

Dora will take one of the potions of CSW since she cannot use any of the large gear.

Preparations
During the 1 min, Dora will ask for heroism for herself and Boots if there are spells to spare. She will cast prot v evil on self and Ward and haste on the entire group right before combat is to start.

"Go Team Puss and Boots!!!

Round 1
Once combat starts, on her turn she will start her usual singing +2/+2 and glitterdust.

DC17 on opponent on her turn...I will be at work, so posting ahead if you make it this far.

Gerri takes one of the rings of Protection and considers the spiked full plate momentarily, but thinks better of it in the end.

Knowing this is a final day of the tournament, Gerri had prepared 6 extracts of Alchemical Allocation.

He places 5 of the extract on the table, followed by an assortment of other vials, some chunky, some that look like a slurry, and one that has a tooth setting at the bottom.

• Potion of blur (CL3)
• Potion of Displacement (CL5)
• Potion of Fly (CL5)
• Potion of Heroism (CL5)
• Potion of protection from arrows 10/magic (CL3)
• Potion Stoneskin (CL15)

• Extract of Monstrous Physique I (CL10)
• Extract of Enlarge Person (CL10)
• Extract of Shield (CL10)
• Extract of Shock Shield (CL10)
  

"I would ask only one Alchemical Allocation each, and remember to spit the second vial back."

For the Monstrous Physique I, I would recommend the following form. Popobal, 3 primary attacks (Bite [2d6+str], 2 Talons [1d6+str]), 2 secondary attacks (2 Wings [1d6+ 1/2str]), darkvision, fly 30'(average), +2 str (size bonus, so stacks), +2 Natural Armor, and only boots are absorbed as part of change. Has two hands for weapons.

Gerri will drink is Mutagen, an Alchemical Allocation extract, and drink/spit a potion of Heroism.

"They said Ninja right?" Ward will use the mummified hand he wears around his neck to cast see invisibility.

Prebuffs
HP 86/86
AC 15

Pad casts See Invisibility (2 hrs) on Dora, Savage, Gerri, Isis and himself. He separately casts Heroism on Dora. Pad then buffs himself with the following 4 spells below with Improved Invisibility being the last. Mage armor was cast in the morning.

Round 1 actions depend on position of ninja.

Improved Invisibility 12 rds, Spell Resistance (SR 24) 12 min, See Invisibility (2 hr), Heroism (2 hr), Stoneskin 120/120 hp (2 hr), Mage Armor (12 hr), Freedom of Movement (perm)

What's Gerri's action?

Ward thinks about last nights events while the rest of his group prepares. Something seems off about it.

"That fight seemed to easy for us and what would they gain from taking out Marthysan. They would benefit more if they simply....."

"My friends let us group up and discuss strategy for this next match."

Once everyone is together he whispers, "What if the plan last night was to replace Marthysan instead of simply kidnap him. The imposter could do a lot of damage in that position. I think we should try and confirm this after the match."

Isis listens to Ward's theory with open eye, considering.

"That would be very difficult to attempt now that we have freed Marthysan...but it is an interesting theory to go on," Wren agrees. "Of course, what they seek is what we shall gain by winning. As long as we do not fall on the field, can we be denied our reward?"

Isis absentmindedly pets Bast, pondering recent relevations.

Preparation Minute

Isis prepares with Overland Flight, Mage Armor, & extended Heroism.

Surely Usis would be able to recognize one of her suitors.

Sorry I got pulled into an emergency at work this morning. This is my first break.

Round 1

Gerri uses his staff of stealth to activate greater invisibilty on himself.
