Praying to Milani "Please bless us with your divine light"
Bless, +1 to atk, +1 to save vs. fear

"Oh dear!" exclaims the gnome. "Don't worry, friends! He... whatever he is... won't win! He can't! Now just you stay happy and remember that, okay!?" Inspire courage +2!

Morvius is up again.

Thanks for the reminder--I'd lost track of where we were.

Morvius advances, hugging the left wall to avoid the crocodile, then fires at the unknown foe and probably misses, but I'll roll damage anyway just in case.

Cold iron DA arrow to fake KS, incl. PBS and inspire courage: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 15
DA arrow damage, incl. PBS and inspire courage: 1d8 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 11

Where was Morvius moving? If you move forward at all you'll provoke from the croc.

Morvius's arrow sails by Kreighton Shaine's head. The Master of Scrolls smirks in response.

"If you really insist on doing this now I prefer to look my best", Shaine says in a voice suddenly not his own as he produces a bow. Before the party's eyes the visage of Kreighton Shaine melts away and in its place is a dashingly handsome male kitsune. "That's much better. Wouldn't you say? I should thank you. Wearing that Shaine character's form was embarrassing", the fox-man says while sharing a meaningful glance with Morvius.

Morvius needs to make a DC 16 will save vs hideous laughter.

The sluggish crocodile eyes the party warily.

The party is up.

DC 16 Will save, incl. racial bonus vs. enchantments: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 2 = 22

Morvius shakes his head, unamused. "W-would have been funnier in a, an Elvish accent."

Balooo will draw and read the found scroll of Bull's Strength before stepping forward to meet the crocodile.

When Balooo advances, the crocodile snaps at him viciously.

Readied Chomp (slow): 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 9 - 1 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Morvius, Zirt, Fleetwood, and Natula are up.

Morvius tries to shoot the kitsune again.

DA cold iron arrow to fox, incl. PBS and inspire courage: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 19
Damage, if applicable, incl. PBS and inspire courage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 14

Was Morvius moving forward at all? He's currently dealing with cover still.

Yes--I thought I'd mentioned that, but I see that I didn't specify where he was moving to. Move him to B23, please.

When Morvius skirts past it, the giant croc snaps at him too.

AoO Chomp (slow): 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 1 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

But his gamble pays off and from his superior position Morvius sinks an arrow into the kitsune's shoulder.

Moves 5 feet to C28.

burning freezing hands v croc Reflex DC 16: 3d4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1, 1) + 1 = 7 Sigh, is there a powerful evocation ability for wizards like the rogue's powerful sneak? :(

Unfortunately, no. =(

Reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Despite its handicap, the giant crocodile avoids a portion of Natula's blast of frost.

I forgot crocodiles have grab!

Forgotten Grab vs Balooo: 1d20 + 14 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 14 - 1 = 17

Zirt and Fleetwood are up.

Zirt urges her loyal hound forward with a cry of "Wheeeeeeeeee!!!!", past the crocodile and up to the false Master of Scrolls! Darting her hand forward, she deftly slices the pouch from his belt and sticks a rolled-up piece of paper in its place! Gregarious will double move to C21 (tumbling past the croc if it seems like it might attack). Zirt will draw a crossword puzzle in... hrm... Common, I guess... and then swap it for the guy's spell component pouch.

Swap: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
If it beats his CMD by 10 or more, he's unaware the switch has been made until either the end of his next turn, or until he tries to use the item (whichever happens first).

Edit: Dogecrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Carbide, any chance I can borrow your reroll? I'll return it as soon as the scenario is over...

Morvius, you gunna hook a nome up?

Sorry--missed that before. Sure, go ahead.

Thank you!

Lucky Reroll!: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 1 = 20

That just barely makes it with the slow penalty.

Gregarious doge-tumbles his way past the bewitched crocodile delivering Zirt close enough to snatch away the false Kreighton's spell component pouch. She's not quite quick enough to go unseen.

"Wait a minute? That's mine! I suggest you give it back."

Cast Defensively: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Zirt needs a DC 19 will save or do as she's told.

Having tasted human flesh, the crocodile snaps at Balooo again.

Bite: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 1 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Grab: 1d20 + 14 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 14 - 1 = 22

The party is up.

Will (language-dependent): 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 4 = 10

Is that some sort of fancy ess ell ay that he can cast without the components? :(

It turns out I am a cheater. I thought that spell was verbal only. =/

Realizing his strongly worded suggestion has no effect without a bit of snake's tongue and a honeycomb, the handsome kitsune resorts to physical effort.

"I need that!" he says while lunging at the thieving gnome.

Grapple!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Zirt squeals in anger as the man grabs her hair! With a furious squirm, she tosses his belt-pouch across the room and waits for Gregarious to rescue her. The big dog attempts to oblige, growling ferociously as he latches onto the bad man's leg!

Nom vs grappled: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 = 6
Trip: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 2 = 16

Balooo will punch the crocodile in the snout for trying to nom him.

Bear's Strength, Rage, Inspire, PA: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
1d6 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

Fleetwood reaches out and touches the brawler.

Touch of good: +2 on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws for one round

Morvius takes a moment to line up his shot. A momentary gap between the fox and the hound gives him his opportunity, and he neatly threads an arrow past Gregarious and into the kitsune!

Arrow to fox, incl. cover, PBS, and inspire: 1d20 + 8 - 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 - 4 + 1 + 2 = 25
Arrow damage, incl. PBS and inspire: 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 12

It turns out I am a cheater. I thought that spell was verbal only. =/

Which is worse, being a cheater or being a slacker?

Natulat sends a bolt of frost flying toward the croc's tail. 10 ft away from Baloo.

ray of frost (ranged touch): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 cold damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The dice do not love you, Natula :-(.

True but it's big and slow and my only other move right now would be to try and tag the g'nome with enlarge (to normal size) person if only for novelty sake. ;)

2d100 ⇒ (37, 24) = 61

Gregarious latches fiercely onto the kitsune's leg but not quite well enough to drag him to the ground. The loyal dog does hold the imposter still long enough for Morvius to nail him with another arrow.

Balooo smacks the giant crocodile across the snout but Natula's icy ray just misses its swishing tail. Unfortunately the attacks only seem to make the beast more ornery. Were you including bless?

Seeing his spell components tossed across the room, the kitsune releases Zirt and runs off to grab them. Provoking.

The croc snaps at Balooo again.

Bite: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 1 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Grab: 1d20 + 14 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 14 - 1 = 18

The party is up.

... Natula's icy ray just misses its swishing tail. Unfortunately the attacks only seem to make the beast more ornery. Were you including bless?

Oops, no and since I leveled the modifier is +3. So +2, touch AC 10.

ray of frost acid v unattended component pouch (bless): 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 = 19 acid damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 Better.

Balooo growls as he is bitten but his increased might stops him from being grabbed. Aided even further by Fleetwood's magic, he punches the crocodile again.

Rage, Inspire, Good, PA, Bear Strength: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29
1d6 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Is the croc still up?

Also be sure to include Zirt's performance... +2 to attack and damage!

Gregarious AoO: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11
Trip: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 19

Both combatants are still up.

Natula's stream of acid splatters against the crocodile's tail and Balooo smacks it across the snout again but the beast doesn't back down.

Gregarious snaps at the Kitsune as he tries to make a break for his spell components only to be dragged to the ground by the ankle. With a pair of arrows in his shoulder and a leg full of painful dog bites, the kitsune raises his hands in surrender. "Enough! I yield! You've bested me."

Unfortunately the crocodile doesnt' seem as interested in surrender.

Zirt, Morvius, and Fleetwood are up.

With the kitsune apparently in hand (or jaw, as the case may be), Morvius leans over the shelf and puts an arrow into the crocodile.

DA arrow to croc, incl. cover, PBS, bless, and inspire: 1d20 + 7 - 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 - 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 26
DA arrow damage, incl. PBS and inspire: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 + 1 = 14

Zirt glares down at the bad man, tempted to let Gregarious take another chunk out. The big dog looks up at her and wags his tail, as if to say, See? We won! After a few moments, his light-heartedness has its effect, and the little gnome laughs heartily. "Oh, you big silly boy, you. He never stood a chance against someone as handsome and cute as you are, did he? No, he didn't."

With a sigh, the gnome turns to the big crocodile and begins snapping her jaws closed in a series of slightly varied *chomp*s.

Atk: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27dmg: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Confirm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

hahaha

The cleric swings accurately yet...

Remember the inspire courage, Fleetwood. And your bless spell--you might confirm.

A moment later, a whack from Fleetwood's mace and an arrow through the eye ends the crocodile's struggle for good.

Nonplussed by the crocodile's death, the kitsune continues holding his hands up in surrender. "Congratulations friends. Tales of my capture will be told throughout the ages."

"A-are you the handsome man th-that Verml was talking about?"

The kitsune smirks, pleased with his own deception. "Dear sir, I was Verml. I just can't help but speak the truth when it comes to my own description."

What did you guys do with Toothless Verml?

I think we had him tagging along with us when we went up to the scriptorium looking for the real Kreighton Shane.

"He came from the scroll I read!" the toothless man cries out from the scriptorium's entrance. "He left me with those little teeth-stealing monsters after I helped him find the text he wanted."

"Wh-what text did he want?"

"Books about fey", Virml explains with anger. "And riddles."

"Why do all this? What are you after?" Balooo asks the fox-man.

The kitsune smirks again.

"If you really must know, I'm hunting for an answer - the answer to the riddle that bested me and trapped me in that cursed scroll to begin with. It's the same riddle inscribed on the scroll itself. I'd swear the Fey-Lord that trapped me was cheating if I didn't know any better."

"So if w-we take all the scroll pieces and s-solve the riddle, you'll be free?"

"Aren't you already free? You look free."
