[ooc] Does that nat 20 do something>

Round 3 I think she is on round 3 now.
HP: 70/78

Ignoring the foe next to her, she tumbles to next to the octopus to flank two foes with her allies.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 20 = 28 You can move at normal speed through a threatened square without provoking an attack of opportunity by increasing the DC of the check by 5 (instead of by 10)

She strikes at the foe seeing most healthy looking.
Rapier attack: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 12 + 2 = 24

I think that the squid is a great addition to the party!

The squid launches itself at one of the Fish-Men, the first strike missing but the second one grappling onto his face, efficiently blinding him as it squeezes and chews its target. (Blinded as a Nat 20 effect)

Athola then stabs and kills him.

As for Televalis his double magic missile assault takes down one of the Monitors.

The squid launches itself at one of the Fish-Men, the first strike missing but the second one grappling onto his face, efficiently blinding him as it squeezes and chews its target. (Blinded as a Nat 20 effect)

Athola then water flips over behind the blinded Toa and stabs him through the back of the throat, killing it efficently and freeing up the squid.

As for Televalis his double magic missile assault takes down one of the Monitors.

The other Monitor casts bless and then moves for cover behind an ally. The other Toa move in without provoking and stab various targets with tridents.

Trident on Gabriel: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Trident Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

The Beserking Sahuagin consumed by Bloodlust steps forward and full attacks on Jor with a Claw/Claw/Bite with power attack. (-2 to hit, +4 damage)

Claw 1: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 13 - 2 = 17
Claw Damage: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Claw Damage: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Bite: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 12 - 2 = 12

Round 4 Start

Yap waves his wand to try and shoot a blast of shadow energy at the Beserker.

Wand Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9

Unfortunately in his exuberance he mispronounces the command word and the wand fizzles out. He loses a charge and the wand will not function for the next minute.

Yap intones "DRAT! Bloody wand isn't working!" as he madly jumps around waving it.

Round 4 Squid
The squid will attack the one in front of it next to Jor
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 Tentacle
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 bite

damage 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Grapple 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

bite 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 Bite

I nominate the squid to replace the kender as a party member :)

Round 4
HP: 51 / 78

She cringes at feeling the tridents poking her, but forces herself to focus on taking down some of the foes. Attacking the one directly between her and Jor.

She strikes at the foe seeing most healthy looking.

The Tenticle from the squid hits but the bite unfortunately is deflected by the hide of the creature and the grapple fails to establish.

Athola stabs the flanked Toa but the first blow does not quite kill it, forcing him to use a 2nd stab to finish it off, sending its foul blood bleeding through the water.

Is the kuo-toa next to the cleric still alive or is this another one?

The other cleric, there is two of them. One of them is downed from the Magic Missiles.

That was the bad guys attacking in Round 3, the bad guys all go before the group. We go after again because combat didn't start until Gabriel entered and they all had ready actions so they all went before him. So this is bottom of round 3 then bad guys will go again at top of round 4

Round 3

Attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27
Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Attacking the one go his left Gabriel stabs out twice at the creature.

Another charge against the kuo-tua attacking the cleric 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 4, 4) + 5 = 21

Ok I'll need to resolve the round 4 actions of the Toa. Some will be killed this turn though but they'll get their attacks off first

Trident on Gabriel: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Trident on Gabriel: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Bite Damage: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Round 5

Master Yap is fed up with this and and pulls a scroll out of his pouch and uses it to cast Cone of Cold (The only one he has). He angles the cone so only enemies are hit.

Cold Damage: 9d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 5, 1, 4, 4, 6, 4) = 34

2 Toa get frosted and are taken out by the blast. As for the Berserker 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18 he barely fails the save and takes 34 damage from the attack.

Yap Curses under his breath in draconian. He had to pay a good deal of coin to buy that at the tower.

Round 4

Gabriel stabs at the one to his left two more times

Trident attack: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34
Trident attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Current HP: 75/96

Gabriel first blow finishes off a Toa warrior. The second he swings into another and takes him out as he was wounded previously by Jor.

Round 4

Alathea will continue to pour what divine power she has into keeping Jor up and fighting.

"Zivilyn , once again my ally".

CMW 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (1, 2) + 9 = 12

Poor Fiendish Squid :(

The Black Robe will cast his own Magic Missile at the kuo-toa harassing the cleric.
5d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2, 2, 3, 1) + 5 = 14

The Magic Missile strikes the Monitor but since he's healed himself he is still alive from the assault.

Alathea moves up and heals Jor, casting the spell before moving to avoid an AOO from the mad berserk.

Round 5 Start

Master Yap moves over and points his hand at Beserker and shoots a blast of ice at him.

Frost Ray: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 - 4 = 23
Frost Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The Berserker freezes somewhat from the hit.

The Monitor attacks with his Pincher Staff, while the other two attack Gabriel and Athola.

Pincher Staff on Gabriel: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Trident on Gabriel: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Trident on Athola: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Fortunately the attacks probably miss.

Seeing that Althea is interfering with the combat the Beserker attacks Jor and Alathea putting one claw on each and then biting Alathea with his 3rd attack when he turns to look at her.

Claw on Jor: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 13 - 2 = 18
Claw Damage: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Claw on Alathea: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 13 - 2 = 31
Claw Confirm: 1d20 + 13 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 13 - 2 = 18
Crit Claw Damage: 1d4 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23
Bite on Alathea: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 12 - 2 = 15

The claws strike hard and fast, one of them wounding Alathea badly by striking a vital artery.

Athola gets hit AC 15

Round 5

Trident: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31
Trident: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Gabriel attacks the one off to the left. Stabbing two more times.

Ok so Athola takes 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 piercing damage.

Gabriel hits a Toa twice wounding it badly.

The Toa warriors have a HP of 21 so that is what you need to take one out.

Wanting this battle over she attacks the monitor.

Rapier attack: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Pressure point: 1 Dex point damage. 15 Heal check to remove.

Rapier attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Sneak attack damage: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 2, 5) = 14

You can't Sneak Attack Athola, you don't have a flank on the Monitor. One stab fail to hit as the Monitor has an AC of 18.

Athola tries to stab the monitor twice but only one hit scores a blow and wounds the Monitor further.

Doesn't the Berserker need to make a Will save to overcome my Sanctuary spell? That should be active till round 9.

Another charge from the wand of Magic missles at the same kuo-tuo
5d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 2, 1) + 5 = 13

Oh Right! Forgot about the Sanctuary Spell.

Will Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

I believe that makes it

The 3rd barrage of magic missiles finally takes the Monitor down.

I believe that makes it

That makes it even with my best armor on!

Round 5

Alathea hisses at the deep gouge the creature has struck her with. She staggers backward 5' step using Jor as cover and once again pours divine energy into the Fighter.

CLW 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

What kind of kuo-toa is attacking me?

correct High God. No two-weapon fighting so no extra attack then. somehow I did think something else but will be corrected now

48 damage taken - 20 healed by Alathea
HP: 68/96 | AC: 16

Round 4

Longsword Attack 1: 1d20 + 14 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 14 - 4 - 2 = 21

Round 4

Longsword Attack 1: 1d20 + 14 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 14 - 4 - 2 = 12
Longsword Damage 1: 1d8 + 5 - 3 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 3 = 9

Crit Longsword Damage 2: 1d8 + 5 - 3 ⇒ (7) + 5 - 3 = 9

I hope that mighty strikes, hit!

With 3 Longsword hits Jor inflicts 25 total on the Sahuagin Beserker, it still looks like it can take a good deal more punishment though.

Round 6

Yap will stand back and conserve his spells.

The two remaining Toa, seeing most of their fellows taken out decide to do a full withdraw down the North-West hallway.

As for the Beserker he Claw on Alathea and Claw-Bite on jor.

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Is there still a kuo-toa by me?

Round 6

Alathea steps behind Jor another 5' and once more seeks to close the vicious wounds the creature has savaged Jor with.

CLW 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Round 6

Seeing that the biggest threat is still alive, Jor doubles his effort but courses due to no possible flanking chance

Longsword Attack 1: 1d20 + 14 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 14 - 4 - 2 = 20

60 damage taken - 29 healed by Alathea

HP: 65/96 | AC: 16

uff, didnt notice that crit dagger. Also even with missing minus - 8 I think it will hit since it is natural 20

Crit Dagger Attack 1: 1d20 + 14 - 8 ⇒ (17) + 14 - 8 = 23
Crit Dagger Damage 1: 2d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 4) + 5 = 13

Gabriel, Jor and Athola ganging up on the berserk Shark/Fish man eventually overpowers him and he's taken down. Its the end of combat.

You find yourself in a large star shaped area, seemingly forged of beautiful coral, likely by magical means. There appears to be 5 hallways as well as 5 doors that look similar to the one you came into. Of course being in this room is rather uncomfortable for air-breathers. While the water breathing spell lets you survive in here its an odd sensation to breathe water and the taste of salt is constant on your lips. Bodies of dead Toa litter the room lying on the floor. Looking up you actually see that the water in this area actually serves a purpose. Looking up you see that there is an upper floor above, thus allowing easy 3 dimensional movement between the lower and upper floors.

What do you do now?

It would appear that our captors will know that we have been freed from captivity and very likely will being a moblization about us. I recommend that we find the rest of the items of power in order that we will have a greater chance of success.

She groans as she speaks, Could do with some healing. They were plenty.

We definitely need to find our gear.

Alathea will begin to convert further spells to positive energy for hr injured allies.

CMW Athola - 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (8, 7) + 9 = 24
CMW Athola - 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (5, 8) + 9 = 22

CLW Jor - 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

CLW Gabriel - 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

CMW Self - 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (5, 1) + 9 = 15

Alathea sighs, "Agreed, we need to find our Gear, I am almost out of power and once I am I have not even a weapon to be useful to any of you".

Is there any gear hear from the kuo-toa that the cleric can use?

As Alathea move to heal Gabriel.

"No need my lady. I am able to heal my own wounds still. I do not need a focus of my god. Please save the magic for the others."

He nods in agreement.

"Yes let us look for our weapons, but where to start? The two that ran would presumably run to gather more men. I would guess our things would not be stored that way. So that leave going up to another floor."

Wiping the blood of his sticks and sighing from the disappointed, Jor looks at others and shrugs "Does not matter what we do, point is that we have to move. We cant stay here and wait for them to come with more mages or soldiers."

DM I will apply Gabriel's CLW to myself to be healed fully.

Searching the bodies you don't find much. Most of the good stuff is on the dead beserker. You find the following:

potion of cure moderate wounds
bracers of armor +1
masterwork heavy underwater crossbow with 10 bolts and 2 shock bolts

The rest of the Toa have standard gear for their type, Trident, Underwater crossbow but the Monitors each have 2 cure light and 1 cure moderate potion (So a total of 4 cure light and 2 cure moderate potions). The Monitors also have pincer staffs instead of Tridents.

So where do you go next?
