From Shore To Sea (Inactive)

Game Master Baerlie

Clandelve bellows in defiance, pounds his shield with his hammer, then charges forward to strike the beast.

+1 Warhammer (adamantine) attack (power attack, charge): 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 2 = 181d8 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Eshshah deftly steps to the side and slices at the red cloaker.

Keen Kukri: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Kukri: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"I do not understand what attracts them to this location," says Li, advancing and firing.

Ranged Flurry, 1st shot, 1st roll, with Point-Blank Shot, Perfect Shot and Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 1 - 2 = 161d8 + 3 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 + 4 = 12

Ranged Flurry, 1st shot, 2nd roll, with Point-Blank Shot, Perfect Shot and Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 - 2 = 81d8 + 3 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 + 4 = 16

Ranged Flurry, 2nd Shot, with Point-Blank Shot and Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 - 2 = 141d8 + 3 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 + 4 = 13

Swift action: Ki Flurry

Ranged Flurry, 3rd shot (Ki Flurry), with Point-Blank Shot and Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 - 2 = 221d8 + 3 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 + 4 = 10

Clandelve charges one of the cloakers, but his foot gets caught in the weed and he stumbles and misses. Eshshah's attack hits the cloaker as well as Li's Ki flurry attack. The red cloaker drops back into the water.

The remaining cloaker attacks 1d3 ⇒ 1 Etrigan.
Bite vs. AC25: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 nope
Tail slap vs. AC25: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 hits due to nat. 20
Tail slap confirm?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 nope
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Iason

Etrigan hisses lazily at the blow that actually finds his flesh. He answers with another flurry of claws and teeth-- having no trouble at all hitting the large flappy thing.

Bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

Total Damage (over the three attacks), one bite, two claws, fire: 1d6 + 30 + 3d6 + 2d4 ⇒ (6) + 30 + (5, 2, 4) + (1, 2) = 50

Iason winces as his nose starts bleeding. With a grimace, he pulls out his ubiquitous devil's tail wand and once more taps himself with it.

"Be more careful!" he yells at his servant. Etrigan pays him no heed.

Etrigan rips the remaining cloaker apart, pushing his claws and teeth deeply into the creatures flesh.

combat over

As Kiyomi was about to leap toward the last cloaker, it's destroyed, and Kiyomi ends up on Etrigan's shoulder. She then nuzzles him a bit before jumping down.

Clandelve looks around as the combat ends.

"Careful, lassie," he warns Kiyomi. "He's as likely tae eat ye as any ay his other meals."

Follow the tunnel to the northwest?

Eshshah twirls her kukris and sheathes them.

Eshshah gives the room a quick once over before heading back to the planned tunnel.

Perception take 10: 10 + 1 = 11

You follow the dark tunnel north and in the center of the curve another room opens to the east. This domed room smells horrible, and a pool of polluted water floods the eastern end of the chamber. Further in the tunnel you spot a creature lurking in the darkness.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

Eshshah pushes asside the weeds and grabs the spear, pulling it out and showing it off to the party.

"Take a look at these seven entwined columns."

See spoiler above.

Clandelve peers into the darkness, trying to determine what the lurking creature might be.

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Once you are closer to the intersection you see that the creature is a Chuul. Inside the room a second Chuul jumps out of the shadows, ready to attack.

The creature in the tunnel moves closer, threatening with claws and tentacles.

Kiyomi steps forward and jumps up, kicking at the creature twice with her little paws.
brawler's flurry: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 damage: 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
brawler's flurry: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 damage: 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Eshshah starts flickering in and out of time as she steps forward into the corner and draws both her kukris.

Blur up now.

Delaying until after Li

With quiet efficiency, Li sweeps backwards, firing as he goes.

Ranged flurry with Ki shot.

Ranged Flurry, 1st shot, with Point-Blank Shot: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 1 = 171d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7
Ranged Flurry, 2nd shot, with Point-Blank Shot: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 1 = 221d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

Ranged Flurry, 3rd shot (Ki Flurry), with Point-Blank Shot: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 1 = 291d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

Confirm crit: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 = 272d8 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 6 = 17

Looks like two hits for a total of 31 damage.
4 points left in the ki pool.

Etrigan gleefully races forward as soon as there's a spot next to more seafood their new foe.

"An endless yield the sea has brought!
"This quest is rather cushy
"Whether it's served cold or hot
"I admit I like this sushi."

"What?" Iason says sharply. "That doesn't even-- sushi served hot wouldn't be sushi-- oh, why am I even bothering..."

Etrigan chuckles and lays into the beast before him.

Etrigan would provoke moving forward if the chuul has reach.

Bite attack, PA, Etrigan: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 - 2 = 29
Confirm?: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 2 = 27

Critical bite (flaming damage does not multiply): 2d6 + 20 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 3) + 20 + (4) = 33

Iason sends a tiny orb of acid into combat, a mere afterthought compared to the enormous bite of carapace that Etrigan has just dealt.

Ranged touch, cover, combat: 1d20 + 5 - 8 ⇒ (5) + 5 - 8 = 2

Clearly he's so irritated by Etrigan's abuse of language for (dubious) rhyme's sake that it makes him miss.

Kiyomi immediately attacks the seafood in front of her and hits with a paw. Eshshah activates her blur ability while Li shoots three arrows at the chuul. Two of them hit. Etrigan rips out a big chuk of the chuul's body.

The chuul in the cave appraoches Clandelve and attacks the dwarf with two claws, but both attacks miss.
Claw left: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 14 + 2 = 23
Claw right: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 2 = 25

Iason sends an orb of acid at the chuul near Etrigan, but Etrigan's rhymes distract the summoner and he misses.

Clandelve

Clandelve bellows at the creature with the great claws in front of him and lays into it, smashing it with both his hammer and shield with a blacksmith-like rhythm.

+1 Warhammer (adamantine) attack (power attack): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 211d8 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
+1 Warhammer (adamantine) attack (power attack): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 201d8 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
Spiked Light Shield (power attack): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 281d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Opponents hit with Shield Bash also hit with free bull rush attack, using attack roll +15. If bull rush succeeds, may make trip combat maneuver at end of bull rush.[/ooc
trip combat maneuver: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
[ooc]Using Step Up if target moves

CRIT?: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 131d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Since the shield hits, looks like I get a free Bull Rush attack with CMB of 43, then a trip maneuver at end of bull rush with a 19 (guessing that misses).

Clandelve swings his warhammer at the chuul in front of him, but misses. The shield bash hits, but the creature is not tripped. the bullrush succeeds, but not the trip attempt

The chuul in the tunnel attempts to hit Etrigan, but both claws swing through air.
Claw left: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Claw right: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

Kiyomi attacks the chuul again!

brawler's flurry: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28 damage: 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
brawler's flurry: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 damage: 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Eshshah slashes into the Red chuul twice.

keen kukri: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Kukri: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Kukri Threat Confirm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

If 22 hits, the next melee attack that hits that target is automatically confirmed as a critical.

If the first chuul is dead before Li goes, move and use first shot below as his only shot at the other chuul. If Li's first shot kills the first chuul, move afterwards to bear on the second chuul for next turn.

Spend 1 ki point for extra attack (3 ki left).

Ranged Flurry, 1st shot, with Point-Blank Shot and Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 271d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 9

Ranged Flurry, 2nd shot, with Point-Blank Shot and Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 181d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 9

Ranged Flurry, 3rd shot, with Point-Blank Shot and Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 131d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 7

Etrigan tears into any remaining foe with a single strong bite.

If red still alive: single red, move towards Blue. If red already dead, move and single attack on blue.

Bite, PA, vs Red (or Blue): 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 2 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 10 + (3) = 16

Note that if red is still alive, that might trigger off Eshshah's kukri hit/critical thing. If so: Additional damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Kiyomi kicks the chuul in front of her once more and Eshshah finally defeats the chuul in the tunnel. Li shoots an arrow at the remaining chuul while Etrigan moves up to it and sinks his teeth deeply into the chuul's body.

The chuul tries to grab clandelve. The creature grabs the dwarf and lifts him up.
Claw left: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33 Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 4) + 7 = 14
Claw right: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28 Damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 2) + 7 = 11

Free grab left: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34
Free grab right: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (10) + 19 = 29

Ranged Flurry, 1st shot, with Point-Blank Shot and Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 201d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 14

Ranged Flurry, 2nd shot, with Point-Blank Shot and Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 121d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 12

Iason moves forward enough to see that Clandelve has been grabbed in a giant claw pincer. Tsking, he draws out a wand, readying to try and grease the dwarf next turn.

Etrigan goes for the more direct route towards dwarf-freeing.

Bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Damage: 1d6 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 10 + (3) = 17
Claw 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 10 + (3) = 14
Claw 2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Damage: 1d4 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 10 + (3) = 15

Encased in his armor, Clandelve remains relatively unharmed, but bellows "Git yer slimy claws aff me! Mah feit belang oan th' grin, ye overgroon lobster!"

+1 Warhammer (adamantine) attack, grappled: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 12 - 2 = 231d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 and
+1 Warhammer (adamantine) attack, grappled: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 - 2 = 141d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 and
Spiked Light Shield attack, grappled: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 - 2 = 161d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Eshshah steps forward and slashes twice.

keen: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Kukri: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

One of Li's arrows hits the target. Also Etrigan's teeth pull more meat out of the chuul's shell. Clandelve hits with his warhammer and Eshshah with her kukri.

Kiyomi jumps and runs between legs to get to the other side of the Chuul.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Then she kicks him.
unarmed: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
damage: 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Kiyomi kicks the chuul and finally the hard shell breaks apart, revealing the soft meat inside. The chuul drops Clandelve and falls backwards into the water.

combat over

Eshshah spins her kukris and re-sheathes them.

Eshshah gives the room a quick once over before encouraging the party to move on.

perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Li moves swiftly to cover the approaches from north and south, knowing others in the party are more skilled at searching the area.

The tunnel continues to the north east to the right you see an entrance to another chamber.

Iason Per: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Etrigan Per: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Etrigan plunges back into the murky water, grinning; he emerges a few seconds later covered in muck but holding up a fist-sized red gem.

"Flame calls to flame
"And this called my name.
"Master, may I lay claim?"

"No," Iason answers shortly, and takes the gem from the beast. "Hmmm. A fire elemental gem. That could be useful; would anyone like to carry it?"

Etrigan sulks.

Once the gem is sorted and any healing dispensed as needed Clandelve is down some, anyone else? Iason gestures his servitor forward into the next chamber. "Stop sulking; go see what's in there."

The organic structures of this room are badly decayed, exposing the island’s dark bedrock beneath.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 Li picks up the urn, glances at it, then hands it to Iason.

"Maybe it is magical," he says.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Clandelve brushes mud and slime off his armor as he grumbles profusely. With a scowl, he hands his wand to Eshshah and asks for some healing of his wounds, then proceeds toward the front again.

He spits as Li Shou mentions the possible magic nature of the urn.

Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Eshshah gladly uses Clandelve's wand.

A steady glow of light and the rhythmic sound of sharp metal on stone come from the corridor ahead.

Detect Magic+Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

"A forge?" Clandelve wonders, finally interested in something they have found.

The dwarf proceeds with caution down the corridor toward the rhythmic sounds ahead.

Kiyomi sniffs at the contents of the urn, makes a sour fox-face, and follows Clandelve to check out the forge.

Eshshah will nod and cast divine favor as she heads forward with Clandelve.

You head on, following the tunnel to the east. You pass a blocked passage to the right and the sound of metal on stone gets louder. You can now hear, that it's not a forge, but picks working away the rocks.

After about 100 feet the tunnel widens. The floor is covered with water again.

will save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 +7 more vs. spells

"A dwarf knows th' soond of a pick weel...I wonder who is minin', an' whit they ur lookin' fur."
