"Neat trick. What are you?"
Using his bombchucker, Gizmo lobs another bomb at the far one.
Should be directly behind him, so 6 splash damage
Joshua finishes his spell and eagles appear behind the row of creatures and attack them.
Eagle 1
Eagle 2
Neither eagle is able to keep it's place and they only get one talon attack in before flying to the end of the dock by the leader.
He then fires a sling bullet at the leader.
Jordy slaps another bolt into his crossbow and fires at the leader again.
Joshua summons eagles, they attack but are unable to do any damage. fires sling misses.
Jordy shoots and hits the leader to no effect.
Bastien ??
Ennemies:
Dio ??
gizmo chucks bomb.
Derantil moves into flank to sneak attack.
Gonna wait for bastien and then do ennemies.
Cursing Bastien stabs again with his no-dachi.
Bastien strikes the leader and drops him.
The one in front of Bastien attacks him.
+ grab
+ grab
The other one steps down into the boat and attacks Derantil.
+ grab
Derantil may need to change his action for this round cause I think he was just grappled.
So derantil can act twice and everyone else can act once.
Diomedes tries to smash one of the others with his mace.
but is still reeling from the strange creature's bite.
Jordy once more reloads and shoots at the closest grey-skinned thing.
Yes leader is down dio is free.
Still missing a few actions bastien and joshoa are before the ennemies.
Joshua attacks with his sling again while the eagles swoop in behind the creatures and attempt to bite them.
Bastien again presses the attack.
Joshua misses but his birds manage to do a bit of damage this time around.
The one grappling Derantil bites him + 1 con damage.
+ grab
+ grab
Now it would be all your turns.
Joshua launches a stone at the creature and then the eagles attack and disappear.
Jordy reloads and shoots again.
Dio swings his mace again at the false sailors.
Bastien attacks again.
You manage to bring down another one of the shapechangers the one grapling Derantil releases him and dives into the water attemping to flee. He swims 30 feet away going ten feat beneath the surface.
Provokes an attack for Derantil.
Seeing the shapechanger head into the water Joshua looks down at Albert and says "Get him! That's gator bait!" and the alligator splashes into the water chasing the creature.
It did survive the aao, you can roll and attack for Albert
Deranthil will dive in after the shape changer and charge him.
Jordy also dives off the pier without a second thought, lining up his crossbow for another shot.
You manage to finish off the remaining foe before he can escape.
The aquatic elf brings the body back.
Diomedes looks at the bodies of the creatures and sighs. "We'll have to let the others know that the real sailors are most likely dead at this point."
"Let's make sure we don't bleed too much," he says as he casts a couple of healing spells on himself and Deranthil.
Jordy nods at Diomedes as he goes through the 'sailors' pockets and clothes to see if there was anything to identify where they were coming from. He gestures at the rowboat they had been in. "Could someone check to see if we can figure out where they were? They were out getting drunk somewhere."
They were likely at the newly opened Tavern. Most of the colonist gather there once the days work is over to relax a bit before bed but the place is likely empty now.
Nothing of note or worth.
"We may want to check out the tavern, just to make sure they didn't try to poison us or something."
"Then lets check the tavern!"
Bastien looks at the others and offers a smile!
You check the tavern and find it mostly deserted. Cattenbury the man who reopen the tavern and has been running is still there cleaning up. If you ask about the sailors he is surprised and says that they were indeed here most of the night celebrating their safe return and having a good time with everyone, nothing about them seemed strange.
"Well, while we're here... a drink?"
Gizmo could use a few drinks, but also thinks it is worth a tour around the tavern talking with the sailors to see who could remember what about the three impostors.
They took the rowboat from the longship to the village went to the tavern, spent the night drinking and were returning to the dock to take the rowboat back to the ship afterwards.
"I think a drink is a damn good idea. Then, we best get some sleep, eh?"
Jordy grins at Dio. "After what we saw tonight, we definitely need a drink. I don't know how much sleep I'm going to get, though."
"And then some rest. Perhaps tomorrow morning, we talk to the watery tart again and see what was up with these impostors."
You go and get some rest and the next day meet with the expedition leader and the ship captain and explain to them what happened.
"There is still some hope that the sailors are still prisoners then. For now we will keep this under wraps as much as possible I don't want panic in town with everyone suspecting each other of being doppelgangers."
"When your ready I will give you a ship and you can return to the cave to have another talk with their queen. This time we cant take them at their word. Try to find out more about who or what this bigger fish they were talking about it."
Deranthil nods. Maybe taking the dead shapeshifters will help.
Getting ready for bed, Gizmo downs one of the CLW extracts he had for the day. Feeling much better, he hands the other to Derathil. "Drink this... you'll feel better in the morning."
"Eww. Well, let's wrap them tight and drag them with a rope. I don't want to get caught in a fight underwater while wrestling with a body..."
Preparing extracts for the day, Gizmo works quietly until the rest of the group is ready to go.
