Iniative
Are the leaders of the Dargonesti there?
okay
Athola happy to have the shard back, she keeps it sheathed as she moves to prepare to flank Veylora. She keeps the shard covered so not to warn Veylora that the she got the shard back.
Do you have touch of the sea or equivalent magic active? Remember this is underwater so if you don't have a swimming based spell you have to make swim checks and you move at 1/2 speed.
Well did you have a spare casting of it before the fight?
I think so
Ok if you are willing to blow the spell Terevalis then Athola can have touch of the sea. She 5 foot swims away from Athola and then unleashes a spell that creates a Cone of Cold that causes the water to flash freeze over the party.
Save DC 21 reflex for 1/2 damage. As for overcoming the spell-resistance. so Terevalis is affected as well.
Yap's Save and with a natural 20 he takes no damage as he hides behind Terevalis to avoid the blow. (House rule, nat 20 functions like Evasion/Stalwart)
Jor also tries to make a save. He also makes the save and takes 19 damage.
As for the Aboleth it moves in front and looks towards Jor and attempts to dominate him.
Jor's eyes go glossy as the Aboleth telepathically gives an order to him.
He will cast it before they get into the fight.
Reflex
Jor on his turn swims next to Gabriel and tries to hit him with his sword. Fortunately as a Greatsword is a slashing weapon it does 1/2 damage in water.
Fortunately the blow is fairly clumsy due to the water resistance and it misses.
Jor is still dominated however.
Whose turn us it?
Alathea casts Holy Smite on the aboleth (and any evil creatures near it), "Zivilyn, rid the world of this horrific beast!"
With his companion compelled to attack Gabriel goes on the defensive.
"Bring the creature down. It has done something to Jor."
Gabriel goes full defense hoping the party can deal with the creature he is unable to close on.
[ooc]Status: AC: 29, LoH: 4/8 remain
Both resist the Holy Smite and are not blinded but are singed for 12 damage each.
Yap badly frozen by the blast of cold moves south in his bubble of air. He then pulls out a scroll and reads it and a bolt of lightning shoots out from it.
The bolt hits them both solidly for damage.
Only Terevalis has to go.
The Black Robe will return a cone of cold on the foes
Behold the Power of the Black Moon! Ast srdare darets afvmoeaes
Reflex 22
They are both struck head on by the Cone of Cold that freezes the water around them to sub-zero tempatures. Unfortunately Veylora has 20 cold resistance due to her Water Elemental bloodline so takes only 14. Nonethless it does a solid strike on them.
Velyora will wordlessly look to the Aboleth and delay until after its move.
The Aboleth will use Dominate on Terevalis commanding him to hold and do nothing. DC 23 will save to resist or be dominated. He gives no command to Jor so Jor will continue to attack Gabriel on his turn. He then swims back a few squares. This is where Veylora strikes. She swims forward quickly and then unleashes a burst of elemental energy.
Everyone except Athola and Yap need to make me a DC 21 Reflex save. This does cold damage or half on a save. If you fail the save you are also vulnerable to cold for 1 round.
She does so so Terevalis is also affected.
Reflex Save -
Reflex Save
Alathea is unable to avoid the icy blast from Veylora.
She responds with a Quickened Channel Selecting out the Foes
She then follows up by beseeching Zivilyn to, "Smite the unholy creature!"
cast Flamestrike on the Aboleth -
Ok Alathea, Unfortunately Fire Descriptor Spells don't work too well underwater. You'll have to make a DC 25 caster level check. I'll roll for you to see if it works. Even if it is 1/2 divine damage, the spell has the Fire Descriptor so follows those effects.
Unfortunately the spell fizzles as the water blocks the line of effect to the target. Fire unfortunately does not work well underwater.
As for Master Yap, he'll attempt to wand at Veylora.
vs touch
Woah a threat
vs touch
CRITCAL HIT with gloombind bolt
damage
She is not blinded though. Veylora is not in good shape!
Sr for dominate?
Will
It would have overcome it but the save is successful.
but with the channel for Alathea giving back 47 go Gabriel he shows no worse for ware.
Jor does a full attack on Gabriel
Striking two blows he does and to Gabriel. Of course this is half damage due to the fact its a bladed weapon in water so 12 and 14 respectively.
He then gets a save to break out of the Dominate. which he fails.

The Spell has the fire descriptor so the whole spell fails to work.
Nonmagical fire (including alchemist’s fire) does not burn underwater. Spells or spell-like effects with the fire descriptor are ineffective underwater unless the caster makes a caster level check (DC 20 + spell level). If the check succeeds, the spell creates a bubble of steam instead of its usual fiery effect, but otherwise the spell works as described. A supernatural fire effect is ineffective underwater unless its description states otherwise. The surface of a body of water blocks line of effect for any fire spell. If the caster has made the caster level check to make the fire spell usable underwater, the surface still blocks the spell’s line of effect.
You can hero point to reroll if you wish.

How beat up are the baddies
HP: 78 / 78
Initiative: 24
Athola moves closer to the foul beast and jabs with the shard.
The Black Robe will cast Bone shatter
Ast dearefsare darsncnier wpera/are spre as he pulls out a bit of bone out of his spell component pouch, and crushes it using his minor synergy ability to give a +1 to DC and CL
DC 22 Fort
The target’s bones (or exoskeleton) splinter, dealing 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 15d6) to the target, which is also exhausted for 1 minute per caster level from the pain and exertion of the transformation.
If the target succeeds at its save, it takes half damage and is fatigued rather than exhausted. Objects made of bone, chitin, or similar material take half again as much damage (+50%) from this spell. This spell has no effect on a creature that has neither a skeleton nor a hard carapace.
I hope the aboleth doesn't have a high fortitude save
Did it make the save?
I would be happy to take it over.
I have control of the game! Hooray! Are we ready to proceed?
To speed up what takes place
The party is able to end the threat of the aboleth.
As the sea elves celebrate their new freedom a cry is heard [b The great whale comes! [/B]
Thanking you for your help the sea elves are able to use some of their magic to help the party to escape the Blood Sea...
Level Up to 9th.
Oops, looks like 10th lvl :)
The trip to the surface takes an hour of steady and exhausting swimming. The currents of the Blood Sea of Istar and the murk of the waters makes it difficult to gauage direction underwater but you eventually wash up on the shores of Hag's Dirk, on the beach along the minotaur port of Sargonath.
The 2 members of the Legion of Steel, the kender and Alathea, once they dry out decide that this adventure is a bit too dangerous for them and they might better be spent training new recruits or bringing about the word of the True Gods back to Krynn. The cleric entrusts the Tear of Mishakel to the paladin.
Jor, being a mercenary decides that all of the magic and fantastic beasts they have encountered are a bit too much for a mercenary. He decides to see if he can find his own company.
Farewells are exchanged.
I thought that was the easiest way to ensure that the former PCs are able to do something else with their character.
Pulling his cowl over his head the Black Robe states And then there were two. Where to now Sir Knight?
