GM Edwin's River Queen (Inactive)

Game Master Insnare

Still under the effect of the 'sanctuary' spell, Angelo looks at the situation, uncoils a rope, ties it off, and offers one end to Mogwag. "Come in from the deeper water. We'll fend off the cagna."

Poulain

Poulain moves into the swamp and not having any target to shoot at wades deeper into the inky slushy ground towards Mogwag.

Bautain

Ba'utan remains on firm ground not risking the swamp at this point.

The crew draw their weapons but do not have a target.

Mogwag

Round 2

5ft back toward the group , Spontaneous healing (Free)

Glave guisarm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 231d10 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

A part of the water with floating debris moves in front Angelo DC 18 Will save 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 fail.

Angelo has this desire to move towards and touch the floating debris and its swirling lights.

Angelo, Poulain, Bautain, Crew, Mogwag, Slick

@edwin - Angelo is in sanctuary, is this an attack, and if so, did the attacker make a will save (DC15)?

It did not attack you, it is a hypnotic effect that has you under its spell, I knew you were going to ask me that. ;p

"Out of zis water. Move!" Poulain holds a shot till something moves against his companions

It did not attack you, it is a hypnotic effect that has you under its spell, I knew you were going to ask me that. ;p

Well, that is why I use the spell :) And it's easy as a GM to lose track of all the funky stuff players get up to.

Angelo twines his arm around the rope that connects Mogwag to the shore, and reaches forward toward the floating pile of debris.
recognizing that this may draw Mogwag in odd directions..

Can someone light up the area Mogwag can't see in total darkness?

Ba'utan shakes his head at the ineptitude of his new companions. 'What did I just say about fools? Fate is fickle enough without giving her a helping hand.'

Angelo may keep his hand on the rope but he continues and walks into the oil slick. Taking 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (2, 3) + 6 = 11 and 1d6 ⇒ 5 acid damage.

Mogwag

Round 3

5 ft step back toward the party, Use sipping jacket (swift)

Mogwag looks back towards Angelo and sees the shimmering slick of oil and debris DC 18 Will save 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 fail. Mogwag is hypnotized and wants to move into the middle of the debris.

Round 4

Wisp attacks again shock, touch attack 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21 hit 2d8 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9

Angelo takes another 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 6 = 11 and 1d6 ⇒ 4 acid damage. From ashore you seem to notice that Angelo is only standing still and then he falls into the slick unconscious.

Poulain, Bautain, Crew, Mogwag, Slick

"Idiote! Retreat!" Poulain holds a shot until he sees a foe.

does the electrical damage wake mogwag from the hypnosis?

Nope

Following Poulain's lead, Ba'utan does not act until something obvious presents itself.

...there is a rope. maybe folks connected on the end. just sayin'

Is there rope on dry land or did Angelo walk it into the swamp with him?

Secured to a tree. Was going todrag folks out with it. First rule: ensure the bigger/stronger victim doesn't drag you in. :). That rule neglects hypnotic suggestion.

Ba'utan follows the rope to the place where it is entwined around the tree and starts to pull on it.

Strength: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Opposed Strength check 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Bautan gets pulled into the water.

Faruq and the rest of the crew grab hold of the rope and help pull 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Angelo's body is pulled from out of the center of the slick but he is still in there.

Mogwag moves into the slick as well taking 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 1) + 6 = 11 and 1d6 ⇒ 4 acid damage.

The slick stays put.

Round 5

Wisp attacks again shock, touch attack against Mogwag 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32 hit 2d8 ⇒ (8, 2) = 10

Poulain

Poulain helps pull.

Poulain needs a strength check...

Ooops, STR check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Mogwag takes the damages...

Opposed strength check 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Poulain and the group are able to pull Angelo out of whatever had hold of him but of course he is still in the drink and needs to be carried to shore and healed.

Bautain

Ba'utan looks at Poulain. "care to go into the water and retrieve your friend?"

"<burble?>"

"No friend of mine," Poulain mutters as he retrieves Angelo.

Faruq and the crew pull Angelo closer to shore.

Mogwag takes 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 6 = 8 and 1d6 ⇒ 1 acid damage.

Round 6

Wisp attacks again shock, touch attack against Mogwag 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22 hit 2d8 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

Poulain

"Mogwag! Move!" Poulain waits more for a visible foe.

And Mogwag fall unconscious after the wisp's attack

Perception: 1d20 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 1 - 2 = 10 => Stable

Bautain

Ba'utan considers his options and decides that remaining on dry land is his best course of action.

He shrugs his shoulders at Mogwag's plight. "Not sure what I can do for you friend at this point."

You could heal Angelo

Ba'utan casts a spell on Angelo - although his health does not improve the immediate effect is that he doesn't get any worse.

Ba'utan casts Stablise

Faruq takes the rope and tries to lasso Mogwag with it ranged touch attack 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 lassoing the Mwangean. The rest of the crew try to pull him in 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 vs 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17 without any luck.

Wow, this has come to an impasse. Is it me or is this group broken?

Mogwag doesn't know for Mogwag is unconscious.. :)

I know I've had a challenge posting at the very time when it should be so much easier to post. Oddly, being back at work makes it much easier!

Sorry Mogwag but noone wants to help you

The slick deals 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 6 = 10 1d6 ⇒ 1 acid damage, his body becomes apart of the slick.

The slick slowly floats further out.

Combat Over

that is fine :)

One rule above all ...don't go out alone. Don't get off the boat.

"Death follows life - that is the natural order. Life folllowing death - now that is a far more interesting situation. Let this man's death be a lesson to those less familiar with the jungle. Treat her with respect. You need not fear her but she will kill you if you allow it. Listen to me, or this one if you don't trust me," he points to Poulain, "Our words will save lives but they must be heard to have any effect."

"Ba'utan, what would we do of this," Poulain says, indicating Angelo. "Racist garbage that led to the death of at least one good humanoid. How much do we help him? My ..
Emotions influence me heavily here."

Ba'utan considers Poulain's words. For a moment it seems as if he's not going to reply before he says, slowly and deliberately.

"Nature is the great teacher here. We do not interfere with the fate of others unless it is necessary. Mogwag's stupidity did not deserve intervention - otherwise we risked losing more life. But supporting a comrade in the pursuit of a common goal - that is different. Perhaps your companion makes mistakes but I'll reserve judgement until the moment arrives where I must make a decision to risk my life on his behalf."
