Will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

init for eina and Gerhard?

Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Eina squeezes her eyes shut and shakes her head before trying to focus on the cat again.

"What is it about this place that makes things so unnatural."

She rushes in and tries to get close to the beast.

Round 2

All Heroes Go !

Nora concentrates on her spell. Trying to dig further information from the beast. 2nd round concentrate. Determine Intelligence score of displacer beast.

Using Telepathy and tongues to try and talk with the creature.
"Why are you attacking that old man? What is this place?"

Eina, somehow, manages to dodge the flailing strikes and the following bite from the strange creature.

[b]"That's right. Focus on me."{/b]

She bares her teeth in what could be called a smile, but only if the person was feeling charitable, before plunging in.

Attack 2hands: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Displace (Low misses): 1d100 ⇒ 1
...
wow.

Round 2
He quickly tries to remember what he knows about these magical beasts, Displacer if he is correct: K Arcana: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26

Wolf casts shocking grasp with a quick snap of his fingers and a harsh word in Draconic, then wades into battle as well.

Moving in at most 10 feet, then tumbling the last 10 feet.Acrobatics check: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Current AC 21, mage armor.

you know most of the combat stuff about it Wolf

Round 2

Gerhard takes a full attack on the beast.

Bite: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 13 with flank, damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
miss chance low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 66
Claw: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 = 12 with flank, damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
miss chance low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 88
Claw: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 = 18 with flank, damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
miss chance low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 82

Phurs does an accelerated tumble to get into flanking position to get his own sneak attack and then tries to strike.

Acrobatics vs. CMD+10: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30 Success!
ShortSword +1: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 2 = 24 with flank, damage: 1d6 + 3 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 3 + (6, 3, 4) = 18
miss chance low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 24

Filk zips around the room allowing him to stay out of reach of the tentacles and come in for an attack giving flanking as well to the main damage dealers.
Acrobatics vs. CMD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32 Success!
Rapier +1: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 2 = 16 with flank,
damage: 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + (5) = 7
miss chance low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 18

One claw hits doing 7 damage. Though both bard and rogue miss because of the displacement.

The Displacer Beast continues its assault on Eina. Wolf shouts out that the Displacer Beast has a magical effect on it which makes it hard to tell where it is at any given moment and that ranged attacks are weak against it.

Tentacle: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 damage: 4 + 1d6 ⇒ 4 + (2) = 6
Tentacle: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 damage: 4 + 1d6 ⇒ 4 + (5) = 9
Bite: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 damage: 2 + 1d8 ⇒ 2 + (3) = 5

The cat like beast slaps Eina once hard against the arm.

Round 3
Heroes go!

Gerhard continues to pummel on the beast.

Bite: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 = 26 with flank, damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
miss chance low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 55
Claw: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 14 with flank, damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
miss chance low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 86
Claw: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 = 17 with flank, damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
miss chance low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 34

Phurs does tries another strike.

ShortSword +1: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 2 = 22 with flank, damage: 1d6 + 3 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + 3 + (4, 5, 5) = 18
miss chance low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 28

Filk follows Phur's lead.
Rapier +1: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 11 + 2 = 21 with flank,
damage: 1d4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + (2) = 4
miss chance low is bad: 1d100 ⇒ 98

Gerhard hits it with his bite taking a chunk out of it, 6. As Filk hits it as well, 4.

Round 3

Wolf still in place lets his claws and bite bring the pain with the spell still on it.
Melee claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19 with spell, damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Miss chance, low bad: 1d100 ⇒ 3
Melee claw: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Miss chance, low bad: 1d100 ⇒ 86
Melee bite: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (5) - 3 = 2 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Miss chance, low bad: 1d100 ⇒ 34
shock damage: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 2, 5, 6) = 22

His claw with the spell misses as he did not judge correctly, but his other swing got it right but he still does not touch it.

Attack 2hands: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Miss (1-50 Misses): 1d100 ⇒ 24

Eina strikes again, but still can't seem to hit the beast. Bleeding and hurt, hunkers down, trying to make herself a smaller target.

Nora realizes the beast is unlikely to stop his feeding frenzy, even if charmed at this point. Sadly she steps up, and claws at the magnificient creature, but just can't will herself to actually harm it.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Miss(low bad): 1d100 ⇒ 62

Just leave. We are not going to be very tasty. Tough skin.

Round 3

The Displacer Beast chooses another route for Round 3, it takes a full withdraw action, giving Phurs and Eina an AoO as it moves away from the group. Around the group and out the door as quick as it can go.

Phurs AoO, ShortSword +1: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Does anyone give chase?

Round 4

Gerhard follows the beast, "Just making sure the thing leaves. It ran into the woods." He says at the doorway watching the creature scamper off.

AoO (2hands): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Miss (1-50 misses): 1d100 ⇒ 84
damage: 1d10 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Eina takes one last swipe at the thing as it flees, and finally manages to land a blow.

New Information came to my attention.

As the beasts leaves you all get blasted by a mental attack, Will Save DC 17 or be stunned for 3d4 rounds, Filk, Phurs and Gerhard all fail their saves and drop to the ground. Everyone else gets a +4 to your save.

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 4 = 29

As the wave of energy rolls over the group his mind steels up like a vault.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18

Will: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 4 = 19

Eina shakes off the mental hit and a low growl and a snarl follow the strange beast.

"Kann Goblins taka steina þinn!" she bellows.

"Coward..." she adds in a much more normal tone. It's only now that she seems to notice the bleeding wounds the thing gave her and she staggers over to the wall for support.

"Anyone else hurt?"

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Nora feels the mental intrusion on her mind and laughs it off. Is that really the best it could do?

Alarm clouds Nora's thoughts as she see Eina stagger to the wall and the mention of anyone else. "Oh! Eina! ummm... I... Damn it all. I don't know how to help." She curses into the air, tears staining her face, her emotions running wild.

Round 5

All Heroes Go !

Nora once again concentrates on trying to detect thoughts in the area, trying to find the invisible old man.

"I've had worse." the Paladin says, "No sense in crying about it. I just gotta be careful."

Eina hunkers down, keeping her back to the wall.

Total Defense: AC 29

Wolf goes to stand over Gerhard with his shocking grasp still in hand. He looks around but not much he can do at the moment.

Also not seeing the spell being cast is not for sure what it was except likely psionic. "Protect those who are down. I believe the attack was psionic but not for sure, definitely a mental attack."

a few seconds passes by and nothing Happen.

Combat for the moment is over... You can go back to normal out of combat stuff

Wolf does not let his guard down knowing that the attack came from somewhere, he quickly asks them, "Nora can you sense anything out there with your telepathy? Can either of you see magic or invisibility? We need to find that old man he may have some answers for us or be the threat."

"I'm scanning for thoughts. Person's got to be something special if he can hide his thoughts from me." Nora replies slowly scanning the room.

Basically doing 2 rounds in each 60ft cone then re-doing scan to the side. In cones with no companions in it, will just spend a round to see if any conscious thought. Should be able to determine number of thinking minds. If numbers don't match what I see then WHABAM, hidden invisible dude.

count match the number of party members

"He's probably long gone, and I don't know if it's wise to search for him."

Eina's eyes don't really focus on anything, seemingly dazed, or simply just tired.

"Um Nora, so that is an all clear? We need to get the others conscious before we leave them." He says trying to understand what is going on and waiting to act.

after a short time they do regain consciouness

Nora sighs dejectedly. "Ya, that's an all clear. Old man's probably going to jump out at us and change into some feral nasty thing and try and eat us. I hate this bloody island." She pouts.

"I hate it more every hour we spend here but we best use the time we have to uncover some information." Wolf says somberly.

Is there any other houses to explore or just the tower?

in this part just the tower with the missing middle section.

Wolf slowly leads the half dragon and succubus to the tower, hoping that the others will be fine.

DM Greg you want to bring in a PC? I give you first pick before we go recruit someone else.

"Wolf, are you sure this is wise? I understand that we only have a limited amount of time here, but I can't do anything if I am knocked out again." Eina asks him, her tone isn't afraid, or at least not for her well being.

"You are correct Eina, lets us get Gerhard to heal us and rest for a time. I will prepare see invisibility after my rest as well. Let me see my wand I will determine how many charges are left in it." Wolf forgets how hurt she is and chooses to rest and prepare rather than pushing forward.

spellcraft to identify a lvl 1 wand, DC 16: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Wolf sets up his bedroll and attempts to analyze the wand but shakes his head as he fails to figure out how many charges are left. He then gets to sleep as fast as possible with the others around him.
8 hours rest to reprepare my spells and to let Eina get a full night's rest. Gerhard will likely treat deadly wounds on her and make some healing mixtures if he can.

Nothing happends in the night and you get up early and ready for Day 2 of the exploration

one day down.. gods I can't wait to be done with this island. Nora awakes, stretching her wings lazily.

"So... where to today? home?" Nora quips, perhaps a little too hopefully.

"I know wishful thinking on your end, no we still have not uncovered any information. We could investigate the strange tower or scout out around looking for any place we have not been to yet." Wolf says rather blandly obviously not very thrilled at the aspect of more unknown or surprises.

just tell me where you would like to investigate next.

With the most obvious choice glaring at them in the face Wolf escorts the two ladies around it looking for an entrance.

"Oh goody, abandoned tower. Just what I always wanted." Nora complains sarcastically.

She launches into the air, looking at the tower from a higher vantage point to see if it gives them any new information.

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33

nothing more then what you already see about it.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Eina spends the morning in prayer, then uses some of the divine power she receives to close some of the wounds she had received.

I'm the only one down, right?

pretty much Eina. so far we are about to start day 2 so you can spend all your abilities to heal yourself + full nights rest in terms of HP gains

pretty much Eina. so far we are about to start day 2 so you can spend all your abilities to heal yourself + full nights rest in terms of HP gains

Okay, so if I got the math right, she should have healed 4 HP from rest and another 7 from the CLW. I'd hate to use the LoHs since she is the only one that can heal people reliably, and she may not have access to a wand in time.

Assuming Gerhard can't heal her!!!!

Before going to bed Wolf would come over to Eina who is obviously still hurt and use the rest of the charges on his belt to heal her but telling her first before doing so, "Eina I see you are still hurt and since we are resting it would be best if you were up to par, let me use the rest of the charges of my belt on you. If you want, you may use it. All you have to do is say 'Lillivianis' which is the Elven word for 'Skylark'."

two individual charges = 4d8 of healing: 4d8 ⇒ (6, 2, 3, 4) = 15

If Eina is walking a bit gingerly in the morning since she is still wounded, Wolf would tell her in a caring voice, "Eina, use the wand of healing and get yourself healed up, I still don't know how many charges are left in it but use it all up if needed, I have a belt of healing if necessary for any damage done during combat and Gerhard should be able to patch up anything once we get back."

Shouldn't that get a +3 per charge? I thought CMW was a 1d8+3 min.

The item is underpowered to be cheaper, it does not go by all standard creation rules. It is from Magic Item Compendium 3.5, otherwise yes you are correct.

Between Wolfs charges of healing, Gerhard mixing up a few extracts, his ministrations to Eina before and as she sleeps, Eina is awake in the morning with full hit points. She won't need to use the wand but has it handy as they venture forth during the dark hours of the morning.

I will be taking over from here on out, so it may be a bit choppy, just play along. ;)

The tower's base looks solid all the way around it no obvious door or entrance is on it.

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24

Coming down from her flight around the tower, Nora lands lightly near the base. She starts slowly walking along looking for anything suspicious.

"Ummm, well, I think this is a door?" She mentions unconfidently.

She starts walking along one of the lines to see where it leads.
