GM Ladile's TL;DR: A Pathfinder Society Campaign

Game Master Lady Ladile

The Grandfrogger carefully climbs down the side of the boat, ignoring the tiny figure giggling and splashing in the water below him. Once his feet - and the rest of him - are wet, the cloaked figure slowly sinks deeper and deeper. Red eyes watch for signs of danger, looking up towards the surface as much as down towards the sea floor.

Water breathing should still be active from before, so no other preparations at this time. Got some options for facilitate movement underwater, but want to wait to see what happens before picking one.

"Eh, you need rocks moving, or something else, yes?" Malachi asks the undines as he approaches.

Maria is the first to respond to the undines' cries for aid and swims forward to take a closer look at the crumbling structure. Dr. O'mayga quickly confers with Hogo and begins the process of swapping one of his spells, certain that a well-placed Web will help shore up the building. Malachi also moves forward, a little behind Maria, inquiring if they need him to start digging out the two trapped undine. About the time that Maria finishes one circuit around the building and Dr. O'mayga gets his spell swapped out, a hissing, feminine voice is heard from close by.

"Clossse...ssso very clossse...ah!"

The voice comes from above and you see what you first take for a massive aquatic snake but as it gets a little closer you can see that it possesses a human-like face, framed by slender spines and brightly colored frills of blue and green. Taking no notice of the undines and their plight, the serpent's eyes settle on Hepsubia, still holding the glowing orb in one hand.

"That mussst be the sssource of the magic pulssse I felt," the creature continues to hiss. "It will make a fine addition to my collection. Give it to me at once, or sssuffer!"

Things keep going from bad to worse as one of the four undines trying to hold up the crumbling building wobbles and then with a groan collapses, having fainted from exertion!

You've got some options here:

(1) Someone can step in and take the fainted undine's place to help hold the building up
(2) You can resuscitate the undine by doing basically anything that restores at least 1 HP to them
(3) You can make a Disable Device, Kn. Engineering or a relevant Craft/Profession check to reinforce the building and reduce the total number of people needed to hold it up (currently you need 4 people to hold it up). Maria, if you want to spend your standard action to do that on this round then I'll use the Engineering check you already made.

Kn (Dungeoneering : 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

"Since when ... do tree snakes ... speak? Or even ... swim, for that ... matter?"

Doc seems very confused until Hogo begins flailing about in the samsaran's hair, pulling at strands and pricking his scalp.

"Oww! Hogo, are you ... certain? I suppose ... she could be ..."

Kn (Dungeoneering), Hogo's Recall : 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 1 = 30
Special Abilities, Special attacks, please. 

"Ahhh, yes, a ... water naga. I suppose that ... does make more ... sense..... They're not ... evil per se, but very ... unfriendly. They can ..."

Doc proceeds to inform the group of what he knows, though it sounds like you're sitting in the lecture hall of the most boring professor ever. As he talks, he starts swimming forward, but realizes it's just too dang far. So instead, he simply tears open a gap in space, slithers through, and instantly reappears next to Malachi, and taps the tengu-pus again.

Hogo can grant Doc a reroll of a Kn check 1/day with a +1 bonus. 

Move action with Dimensional Slide, Cast Marid's Mastery on Malachi.

Resistances, Vulnerabilities. Durn it I have dark naga on my seen it once boon not water naga, argh!

Maria easily squeezes her information in between the gaps of the Doctor’s dissertation, then begins confidently commanding the Undines as to how to effectively fix the building.

I’ll use my standard for that, yes.

She pulls out a wand (CLW), ”I’ll help this one that passed out, you all negotiate with the nice Naga.”

Dr. O'mayga, with some prodding from Hogo, recalls that water nagas have a poisonous bite and some spellcasting ability but otherwise don't possess any particularly remarkable attacks or special abilities. He then uses his own magical power to slide through dimensions in the blink of an eye, popping up next to Malachi. The samsaran bestows some helpful magic upon the tengupus.

Maria is quick to reassure the group that water nagas don't possess any notable resistances or vulnerabilities as she directs the undine on the most effective way to redistribute their remaining efforts, which serves to reinforce the crumbling building. She then pulls out a healing wand, clearly meaning to revive the fainted undine with it.

The building now only needs 3 individuals to hold it up and keep it from collapse.

The Grandfrogger puts two grey fingers in his mouth and blows as if to whistle. The sound that emerges is unexpected - a low, rumbling sound that washes over the ruins harmlessly. A few seconds later, something… whinnies? in response.

A pair of creatures with front halves like horses and back halves like dolphins… gallop? through the water. The small grippli pulls himself onto one of them and points at Hepsubia’s floating form. The other cries out again, then rushes to the elf’s side.

Standard action to cast aquatic cavalry, move action to mount. @Hepsubia - the spell is good for 5 hours as long as you don’t make the hippocampi attack.

I added a couple hippocampi to the map, putting The Grandfrogger on one (grouped it with him) and the other next to Hep. A very nice spell, nice choice!

Now *that* is a cool spell!

Aware that getting around quickly might be a challenge, The Grandfrogger calls upon the aid of some friendly hippocampi to serve as mounts for himself and Hepsubia! The grippli slips astride one while the other moves to Hepsubia and waits for her to hop aboard.

As it's pretty readily apparent that you have no intention of giving up the orb, the water naga uses her magic to conjure multiple images of herself before gliding through the water towards The Grandfrogger and Hepsubia's position.

Hey I thought there was only one! Did it brig friends? Family? Oh no, don't tell me we're about to have a family feud!

Hepsubia climbs on the hippocamp's back Do we need a Ride or Handle animal test? and takes her sword in hand
You can bring an horse to the water, but when the horse falls into the water, it learns to swim!

Strangely, she doesn't rush headlong into the fight, waiting an opportunity to spank strike

Lady L, my plans: 1/ Just being Awesome, as always. 2/will try to put myself in a flanking position for Sneak attack, and 3/ being Awesome. No idea how Bombs, Elemental strike (Lightning) and Weapon song would work underwater

Malachi rubs his side where the dragon turtle gouged him earlier. Though the wounds have all been healed by magic, the nautical tengu trade prince is in no rush to repeat the experience.

"Eh, I've got a better idea, yes" Captain Malarkey calls over to the naga, "you give me all of your treasure, and me and my crew let you go unharmed."

Preparing for almost-certain battle, Malachi activates the ioun stone orbiting his head and casts a [i]Shield[/b] spell on himself as he swims towards the serpent, hammer point-forwards.

The spirits of the coastal predators come to Zithembe's aid as his eyes transform into rubies. He draws a net from his belt as he swims forward. Then turning toward the naga, he suggests, "Why do you not collect three pearls from the leeward side of the island and three pearls from the windward side of the island in order to barter for the sphere?" His voice carries an ancient authority from a king long dead.

Spiritual Invocation (free), Move & Draw Weapon, Cast suggestion DC 19 (duration 5 hours)

Spell Resistance?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Hepsubia hops aboard the summoned ride and draws out her sword but otherwise waits, watching to the perfect opportunity to move in. Malachi offers a counterproposal to the naga as he activates his ioun stone and casts another protective spell on himself before advancing.

Zithembe moves and draws his weapon before offering up a suggestion of his own...

...and while he doesn't feel any unusual resistance to his spell (no SR), the water naga doesn't seem impressed with his trick.

"Niccce try, but it takesss more than that to get rid of Dathivi," she hisses.

Meanwhile, the three undine who are still conscious continue to hold the line building, staving off collapse for just a little bit longer.

The Grandfrogger points at the far side of the collapsed structure and squeezes the hippocampus between his legs. The seahorse whinnies in response, then rushes through the water with the grippli holding on for dear life.

Double move (120 ft!). Next round the Grandfrogger can use a wand if one of these two falls unconscious or Touch of Succor to remove any fatigue one of them might be experiencing (though not exhaustion, which does seem plausible).

Maria simply does as she said she would, activating her wand with a slow underwater flourish and then helping the undine back to their fins.

CLW Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Trusting his other allies to deal with the water naga The Grandfrogger urges his mount forward towards the crumbling building, ready to help the struggling undines. Maria, having drawn her healing wand, gives the unconscious undine a tap. Their eyes flutter open and after a second or two they begin to flail around, trying to stand up - which Maria also helps them with!

Doc looks back and forth between the naga and the collapsing ruin, not sure which is more critical to deal with. He just floats there weightlessly until Hogo scrapes his scalp on the side of the collapse, and then again on the side of his head closest to the naga.

"Yes, yes, ... I'm going," he murmurs as he begins swimming in the direction of the naga. But then he turns and casts his  web spell back at the structure. He aims it to coat the building, providing it with an outer mesh that sticks and binds the pieces together.

Hogo suddenly flails about. "Hmmm, you're ... right. That might work ... on her, too."

Rather than focus solely on one problem over the other, Dr. O'mayga opts to prioritize. Though he maneuvers himself closer to the naga he still has plenty of range on some of his magics, which he uses to encase the building in a sticky web and hold the crumbling pieces together! One of the undines steps back and leans shakily against a nearby piece of stone.

"Th-thank you! I wasn't sure I'd be able to hold on much longer..."

Now only 2 people need to worry about supporting the building!

The water naga remains focused Hepsubia, conjuring up four red darts of energy that zip forward and strike the elf! Hepsubia takes 17 damage.

"Give me the orb!"

Spellcraft + Inspiration: 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 9 + (5) = 20

Maria burbles out some words in their native tongue, "Hep, käytä "kilpiloitsua", jos sinulla on se. Se estää hyökkäysloitsua."

"Malachi. Your aid, please." Zithembe swims closer to the naga with enchanted speed. His net unfurls, weighted ends giving it a spin, as he throws it toward the creature.

Move (Take 10 on Swim for 19), Attack (net)

Net, Champion vs. Touch AC: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 = 25 +Spirit Surge: 1d6 ⇒ 5 if original roll misses (can change miss into hit). Let me know if used.

Entangled in Net on Hit. Applies a -2 penalty on attack rolls and a -4 penalty to Dexterity, move at half speed, and must succeed an opposed STR check vs. Zithembe to move farther than 10 ft from Zithembe.
Also suffers risk of spell failure. If the entangled creature attempts to cast a spell, it must succeed at a concentration check with a DC of 15 + the spell’s level or be unable to cast the spell.

Escaping the Net: An entangled creature can escape with a successful DC 20 Escape Artist check (a full-round action). The net has 5 hit points and can be burst with a successful DC 25 Strength check (also a full-round action).

"Eh, my pleasure, Mister Go - ahem, shabti, yes!"

Malachi darts towards the naga, tentacles and magic both aiding his propulsion through the still waters. He attempts to spear the serpent on his lucerne hammer-point.

charging hammer, marid's mastery, power attack: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 1 + 2 = 32 damage, zith, mastery, power: 1d12 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 + 1 + 6 = 17
damage reroll, supplies: 1d12 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 + 1 + 6 = 18

"Eh, can you drag her to one side, Zithembe?"

I'll leave it to our GM to resolve the mirror images - if Mal doesn't strike true then I suppose he doesn't use his supplies on the damage roll. Next round Mal plans to use his natural attack sequence to dispel any remaining mirror images.

Retcon: swim movement would provoke AOO if she has reach.

The shabti swims to engage the naga. He strikes out with his sword at the many images surrounding her. "She is rather large," he replies to Malachi.

+1 Longsword, Champion: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 1 = 28
S, magic, champion, séance: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 12
Confirmation: +1 Longsword, Champion: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 1 = 23
S, magic, champion, séance: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 8

EDIT: It would also be completely reasonable to use the earlier roll as the to hit.

Though Maria calls out a useful suggestion to Hepsubia, it's not one the elf can capitalize on. What she *can* do, however, is lift her voice in song, the waters adding an eerie distortion to her words. She nudges her aquatic mount and the pair zip towards the wily naga.

Weapon Song is now in effect.

Zithembe and Malachi also advance on the naga, weapons at the ready. Both notice that despite being a rather sizeable creature, water nagas seem to have little stubby arms. And both them also *appear* to strike true, only to see what they thought was the real deal pop and vanish before their eyes.

2 images popped!

The undine who still grapple with stabilizing the building seem to be holding their own for now, while the other two take advantage of the group's efforts and take a breather.

"Found safety and succor, you have." The Grandfrogger's red eyes flash, and a long pink tongue flows out from under his woolen hood to touch the nearby undine.

Using Touch of Succor hex to remove any fatigue (but not exhaustion) the SW undine might be experiencing.

Satisfied that the Grandfrogger and Maria have the situation at the ruins under control, Doc turns his attention to the naga. He decides that while the web spell would be interesting, her positioning doesn't give him anything to anchor it to. Except his allies, which while amusing probably wouldn't end well.

Her positioning.... Hmmm, perhaps, though there is something I can do about that.

His hand dips into a pouch and draws out a black gem so dark as to almost absorb the light around it. Upon closer examination, one would realize it's not absorbing the light, but is instead absorbing the living auras of any nearby creature. Hogo shies away from it instinctively, and a school of little fish suddenly dart away as even they sense the energy of death in it.

Rubbing the gem with a pinch of salt - sea salt, of course - Doc calls upon his knowledge of anatomy to grasp the naga's own skeleton and twist it in on itself. The naga's body shakes and bulges as her skeleton fights itself inside her own body, tearing at ligaments, popping tendons, and grinding bone against bone.

Boneshaker, Void shard, Salt, Potent Magic, Fort DC 20* : 6d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 1, 6, 3, 6) = 24

Draw void shard  to use as Focus for boneshaker  plus salt alchemical reagent and Arcane Pool point with Potent Magic. 

*DC 20, but she takes a -2 on the save. Failure takes all the damage and I move her 5' North (to make it easier for Zithembe to get into a flank.) Success halves the damage and negates the movement. Movement does not provoke.

Maria looks at the rescued Undines, ”The building is more secure. Is anyone inside? I’d suggest getting them out while we deal with this Naga attacking.”

And with that she swims over to get into range, pulling her underwater crossbow out.

Double Move

The Grandfrogger offers succor to remove the fatigue plaguing one of the undines, who noticeably perks up as a result and gives the grippli a grateful look. "Thank you! I think I'll be okay for now!"

Dr. O'mayga once again considers his options before opting to thoroughly rattle the naga's bones; she shrieks with pain and surprise as she's also shunted about 5 feet to the north!

Maria quickly suggests the undines try to rescue their trapped comrades now that the building is more stable before turning and hustling towards the battle.

Dathivi bares her sharp teeth in a snarl as she attempts to bite Zithembe - the fangs come close but the shabti is thankfully able to dodge the attack. She then tries to gracefully put a little distance between herself and her attackers, though her movements are anything *but* graceful. Failed acro; provokes from Zith & Malachi as she moves away.

Malachi stabs with his hammer-point as the naga retreats...

hammer vs naga, marid, power: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 26damage, marid, power, zith: 1d12 + 5 + 1 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 + 6 + 2 = 23

Looks like I missed the power attack hit penalty last round, sorry. Didn't make a difference to the result fortunately.

Did we decide that we could each set different abilities when using weapon song? If so, Mal will choose lightning and add lightning damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1 to his magic lucerne hammer.

Angered at the naga's refusal to stay put, Captain Malachi's twisted narwhal horn emerges again. The Captain propels himself through the water to press the fight. Charge again :)

raging charging hammer vs naga, marid, power: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 21damage, marid, zith: 1d12 + 14 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 14 + 1 + 2 = 21lightning damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6 if applicable

Recovering from his shield block, Zithembe slashes at the naga as she swims away. He then gives chase, the water carrying him swiftly along as he kicks his legs. There he strikes at the naga and her illusions once again.

Close to melee provokes if she has reach.

Swim 50 ft, Attack
+1 Longsword, Champion, Underwater, Keen: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 1 - 2 = 15 (I'm opting not to Spirit Surge on a possible mirror image hit)

Yep, each of you can pick a different effect.

Malachi and Zith take potshots at Dathivi as she falls back, popping two more of her images in the process. They give chase, with Malachi charging after her and Zithembe taking a slightly more measured approach as he moves in and takes another swing with his sword. Neither shabti nor tengu feel their weapons strike true, but their efforts aren't entirely in vain as the naga's last two images are destroyed!

Hepsubia-Bot continues to urge her mount forward as she sings, finally drawing close enough to the naga to bring her sword to bear as it crackles with electrical energy. Unfortunately the naga sees the blow coming from a mile off and easily avoids it.

Meanwhile, the undines take advantage of the aid you've given them; while two of the four continue to help keep the structure from collapse the other two begin to work on digging their trapped companions out.

"Is she ... fleeing because ... she wishes to ... end this ... confrontation? Or just get ... space to cast safely?" Doc wonders aloud as he swims a bit closer. He focuses on her shadow as it flits across the corals and rocks below her, and they rise to grasp at the naga's own form.

Casting Shadow trap with an Arcane point for DC. Will DC 19 to disbelieve, or else she's entangled and cannot move more than 5' from her current position. Interestingly, the spell specifically works on flying creatures, but it's not defined how far above the shadow one must be.

"We must be sure to ... study her death, Hogo. She is ... quite special."

The Grandfrogger urges his steed forward and reaches out again with a long pink tongue to wipe away the fatigue infusing the last undine rescuer.

Move a little north and use Touch of Succor again.

Maria moves up, takes a deep instinctual breath of water to focus her aim and fires the special (now magical) underwater bolt at the Naga.

Taking a +1 from weapon song since this weapon isn't magical. Using second of two uses of Perfect Strike.

+1 Underwater Crossbow + PBS: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 = 26

26 to hit for 15 damage

She can't stop herself from pointing out something to the bloodthirsty Doctor, "I would assume if she were fleeing to escape she would say something to that effect. Probably like 'aaah I quit leave me alone keep your stupid artifact' or something along those lines."

Dr. O'mayga tries to help corral the slippery naga by trapping her shadow but she seems to shrug off the magic!

The Grandfrogger continues rejuvenating the undines, this time removing the fatigue of the second undine still supporting the unstable building. "Thank you! I think we've got it from here, if you need to help your friends!"

The situation with the undines is now stable enough that they can handle the building for the rest of the combat. Good job!

Maria swims up nice and close and fires a bolt from the underwater crossbow, which sinks into Dathivi's hide! She shrieks with pain and bares her fangs angrily as she floats back slightly (5-foot step) and conjures more images of herself.

"That orb mussst be valuable for you to defend it ssso! Hand it over and I will take my leave!"

"You do not ... know its value? Who do you .. act for? Did the ... turtle-dragon also?"/

Maria snorts water out her nose, which is probably not a thing that is audible underwater, "Hah! You don't know us at all. When we give our word to do something, it will be done regardless. The value is in our promise, not in the item we are protecting. Besides, other than your parlor trick, you haven't shown yourself to be any threat to us."

I’ll assume that Hepsubia would also delay.

The Grandfrogger turns his red eyes towards the naga. “Call upon the spirits of scouring rain to wash away your trickery, I do!” A vortex swirls around his hand briefly, then races towards the multitude of serpents.

Hepsubia and Zithembe have worked with The Grandfrogger long enough to know some of the tricks the old grippli has up his sleeve and Malachi's shared enough battles with magically-inclined allies to have an idea of what they can do. The three sense that their ally has an answer for the naga's fresh images and wait, to see if it works.

The Grandfrogger implores the spirits to dispel Dathivi's mirror images! Except even the friendliest of spirits can be fickle beings and the grippli's efforts aren't enough to remove the images.

"I act for myssself!" Dathivi answers Dr. O'mayga. "The pulssse...I felt it from leaguesss away! Only sssomething very powerful could do sssuch a thing...and I knew I had to ssseek it out for my own!"

Maria takes her chances with the images, reloading and stepping up to fire another bolt, "This is the first time I've used this kind of weapon underwater. Could you be a dear and rate the pain from your injury and any future injuries from it? It seems like that first bolt hurt quite a bit. Was that close to a ten on a scale of one to ten?"

5-ft, Reload, Shoot

+1 Underwater Crossbow + PBS: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9 for Magic/Piercing + PBS + Zith + Focused Shot: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11

Ewww... Sorry.

This will trigger at least 5 Attacks of Opportunity, if she has reach.

Zithembe heads off the naga by swimming above her. "Retreat would serve you better," he says as he brings his sword to bear.

Swim, Attack

+1 keen longsword, champion, underwater: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 - 2 = 25
Magic, Slashing, Champion, Séance: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 7
Confirm: +1 keen longsword, champion, underwater: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 1 - 2 = 10

"EH, YOU SHOULD AT LEAST OFFER SOMETHING IN RETURN, YES!"

The captain's anger continue to rise - the naga having admitted to being a thief and a bandit. He takes advantage of Zithembe's manoeuvring to plunge his hammer-point home.

raging hammer vs naga, marid, flank, power: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 18damage, marid, zith: 1d12 + 14 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 1 + 2 = 19precision damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4lightning damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Might pop a couple of images? If Malachi's first attack actually hits the naga, he'll reroll damage using supplies. new damage dice: 1d12 ⇒ 10

"No, Hogo, ... I do not think ... Zithembe would ... appreciate being webbed ... to the naga. No, I do not ... think he would find it ... humorous."

The thorny vine shakes in laughter at the inage but then settles down and casts guidance on the good doctor.

Does he even have a sense of humor? Holan-Ji said he does not eat, so perhaps he is a golem after all. Hmmm, the possibilities for study...

Doc shakes himself from his musings and sighs heavily. He's getting a bit low on spells, and the naga keeps making mirror images. Perhaps he can pop one to help his allies. He swims forwards, drawing his longspear as he picks up the beat of Heps' song. Squeaking in between the seahorse and the Tako-Tengu, he stabs at the naga not really expecting to hit her, but maybe just pop a figment.

longspear (reach), Weapon Song, guidance, flanking : 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 21
damage, P, song : 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

The group closes in on the naga as Maria fires a wild shot from her crossbow, missing completely. Zithembe slashes through one of the naga's images with his sword, while Malachi pierces through two more. Even Doc gets in on the fun, poking through yet another of the naga's images. Finally, Hepsubia directs her mount to circle around and come in from behind; she swings her sword and manages to cut through the last image!

Dathivi hisses with frustration but maintains her focus as she adopts a defensive position and begins casting again, managing to push her spell to completion even while partially surrounded. Once again, images of the naga spring into being...but at least this time, there doesn't seem to be quite as many of them. She zips away yet again and yet again completely fails to be acrobatic about doing so, leaving her open to attacks from practically everyone!

Doc, Hepsubia, Malachi, Zith all get an AoO as she moves away.

Hepsubia slashes , but has more fun aqua-horsing around

quick post sorry, just passing by! still unloading boxes following home-moving

AOO: +1 keen longsword, champion, underwater: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 1 - 2 = 10

Zithembe makes a desperate swipe at the multiple nagas as they swim away before following afterwards. Once caught up with the naga, he strikes again.

Swim, Attack

+1 keen longsword, champion, underwater: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 1 - 2 = 26
Confirm: +1 longsword, champion, underwater: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 - 2 = 9
Normal Damage: magic, slashing, champion, séance: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 13

Zitembe is above the naga, but placing him there makes his aura interfere with everyone else.

Hepsubia strikes out at the fleeing naga and then again as she urges her mount to catch up, but neither attempt manages to hit the real deal or even pop an image.

Zithembe has somewhat better luck as he moves in and strikes from above once more, popping an image.

The elf frowns and flits a little closer, ”Well apparently I mistook you for seaweed. Both in aiming my weapon and your lack of brain. You have had every opportunity to flee to save yourself, yet you simply take the action to prolong this farce. Stop being an idiot.” She fires again.

5-ft, Reload, Shoot

The Grandfrogger urges his seahorse steed closer to the naga and fixes red eyes upon her. “Keep this up how long, you can?”

Evil Eye to reduce AC by 2 for 9 rounds (Will 18 to reduce duration to 1 round).

Maria finds herself getting tired of the relative stalemate as she swims closer and fires another bolt at the naga. The projectile zips by Dathivi, unfortunately not even close enough to pop an image.

The Grandfrogger also grows tired of these shenanigans as he fixes the naga with red, glowing eyes. Dathivi shivers a little but doesn't seem as affected as The Grandfrogger would like.

"SQUAWK! E LE MAFAI ONA E FAATASI LENEI E FAAVAVAU!"

Malachi closes in again on the slippery serpent, forgoing a further attack to outflank the foe.

acrobatics, avoid aoo?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 He's traveling full speed so success is unlikely
