GM Tarondor's Emerald Spire Campaign

Game Master Tarondor

Seeing the walloping her companions are taking, Frizz continues her tactic.

Stride,Strike,Stride

ShortSword (1): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
ShortSword (P/S)Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 5

I feel for ya, buddy!

Wymond - Triath is a minion. You need to spend an action to give two actions to him or he does nothing. He can't get three actions, and you can't do all of that. I'm going to rule that you go with two attacks. If you want, you can order Triath to do something next round.

Wymond, Frizz and Lilika all attack while Perfire retreats. Lilika slightly singes the watery being. It crashes into the Wymond and Lilika with tons of water!

STATUS
Living Waterfall - 36 damage
Lilika - 17/48 hp
Frizz - 21/48 hp
Wymond - 13/64 hp
Perfire - 9/30 hp

Everyone, go!

Thank you for the correction!

"Keep it up, Triath! Ye gottem where ye wantem!" he sputters.

Triath nods and pokes at the monster.

Tusk (1): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 71d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Tusk (2): 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 31d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

And then Wymond continues savaging it himself.

Bardiche (1): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 151d10 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Bardiche (2): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 211d10 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Wymond manages to slash at the creature with his bardiche.

STATUS
Living Waterfall - 40 damage
Lilika - 17/48 hp
Frizz - 21/48 hp
Wymond - 13/64 hp
Perfire - 9/30 hp

Perfire, go! And someone give me orders for Lilika.

Taking a few deep breaths to steel himself, Perfire once more steps into the open, his face somewhere between fear and resignation. He points a finger at the shark, sending a missile of acid flying towards the watery creature.

Acid Arrow: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Acid Damage: 3d8 ⇒ (1, 2, 4) = 7

Lilika summons a burst of primal healing energy.

3 action Heal at 2nd level should hit herself and Wymond. That's 1 Lvl1 Heal and 1 Lvl2 Heal while botting Lilika.

Heal lvl2: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 7) = 12

Perfire's eldritch dart sizzles in the elemental's watery body and Lilika pulls energy from the very stones and water around her to fill Wymond's body and her own with the fundamental stuff of life!

The living wave roars in anger and crashes down again on the many fleshlings before it, but they are well-braced and it merely drenches them.

Wave v. Wymond: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 222d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 4) + 7 = 16 Miss.
Wave v. Lilika: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 152d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 4) + 7 = 13 Miss.
Wave v. Triath: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 182d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 2) + 7 = 15 Miss.

STATUS
Living Waterfall - 47 damage
Lilika - 29/48 hp
Frizz - 21/48 hp
Wymond - 25/64 hp
Perfire - 9/30 hp

Everyone, go!

"Thank ye kindly, Lili!" Wymond says. He then turns to Triath

"Okay, Triath! Put them tusks te work!" he says. Triath nods and savages at the water elemental.

Support Action: Until the start of my next turn, my strikes will deal an extra 1d6 persistant bleed damage!

Taking advantage of the opening Triath has given him, Wymond strikes at the creature again!

Bardiche (1): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 181d10 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (7) + (5) + 3 = 15
Bardiche (2): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d10 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + (2) + 3 = 7

Breathing hard, Frizz darts back into the fray, before retreating out of the creatures reach.

Phew,RunningIsHard.
ShortSword (1): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
ShortSword (P/S)Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Think it's minimum of 1. :(

Wymond and Triath are unable to land solid blows against the monster, but Frizz stabs it while it battles pig and paladin.

Lilika - 29/48 hp
Frizz - 21/48 hp
Wymond - 25/64 hp
Perfire - 9/30 hp

Perfire, go! Someone give me orders for Lilika, please.

Perfire reaches out with his mind and hurtles one of the smaller containers in the room at the elemental beast.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Great Horny Toads! Did you guys insult the Dice Roller's sister? Do you owe it money? :-)

Maybe I'm just in too many games: Every time I start getting good roles in one of 'em, the rolls in another immediately go bad!

Lilika's acid barrage continues from behind her wooden aegis.

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Raise Shield, Acid Splash.

Perfire and Lilika barrage the elemental with eldritch might, but the roaring waters seem to take no notice! It rolls back and then crashes down again like the ceaseless waves of the shore, sweeping Triath back and scraping the boar across the flagstones.

Wave v. Wymond: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 202d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 5) + 7 = 16 Miss.
Wave v. Lilika: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 162d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 4) + 7 = 14 Miss.
Wave v. Triath: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 232d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 1) + 7 = 10 Hit.

"Give it to 'im, Triath!" Wymond says. Triath regains his footing and takes his tusks to the monster to give Wymond an opening!

Action to have Triath provide his Support Benefit.

Bardiche (1): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 151d10 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + (4) + 3 = 11
Bardiche (2): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 71d10 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (7) + (5) + 3 = 15

Perfire focuses on another bit of detritus in the room and flings it towards the creature.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

I think my acid arrow that hit a bit ago was supposed to have some persistent damage or is that a no go on water beasties?

Acid and shield, work in tandem as Lilika tries to bring down the wave.

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Frizz rushes forward to hack away at the living water.

Stride, Strike, Strike

ShortSword (1): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
ShortSword (P/S)Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

I think my acid arrow that hit a bit ago was supposed to have some persistent damage or is that a no go on water beasties?

It'll work just fine, but don't expect me to intuit its existence. If you cast the spell, you need to tell me what it does. I'll go ahead and roll the damage now.

Persistent Acid Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Ends?: 1d20 ⇒ 18 Ended.

_________________________________________

While Wymond, Triath and Frizz keep the elemental busy, Lilika and Perfire manage to damage it with projectiles. The water crashes down again, this time without harming anyone.

Wave v. Wymond: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 222d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 3) + 7 = 12 Miss.
Wave v. Lilika: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 212d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 1) + 7 = 9 Miss.
Wave v. Triath: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 102d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 = 10 Miss.

Everyone, go!

The only thing that's been saving us is the elemental's rolling as crappy as we are! :P

"Keep it up, Triath! We got 'im on the ropes!" Wymond crows, as Triath gores again.

Action to have Triath provide his Support Benefit.

And then Wymond follows him, hacking at the elemental.

Bardiche (1): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 201d10 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (7) + (2) + 3 = 12
Bardiche (2): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d10 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + (5) + 3 = 9

Perfire hurls another object at the creature in desperation.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The battle finally begins to wear on the strange creature from another world. It is clearly having a difficult time holding its wave-like form and the roaring of the water has a weakened sound to it.

STATUS

Lilika - 29/48 hp
Frizz - 21/48 hp
Wymond - 25/64 hp
...Triath - 10 damage

Frizz, go! And someone give me orders for Lilika!

Frizz lashes out wildly with her short sword, then hops back from the wave.

Strike, Strike, Stride (East x3)

ShortSword (1): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
ShortSword (P/S)Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 4

ShortSword (2): 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 9 - 4 = 13
ShortSword (P/S)Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Lilika continues her magical assault.

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Raise Shield

The elemental rolls forward, coming within range of Lilika again and crashing down, but slower and with less force so that Wymond and Lilika easily avoid it.

Wave v. Wymond: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 222d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 1) + 7 = 10 Miss.
Wave v. Lilika: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 132d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 3) + 7 = 12 Miss.

Everyone, go!

"Ha HA! 'E's reelin', friends! Let's finish the job!" Wymond says, directing Triath to gore once more.

Once again, Triath will provide his Support Benefit

Wymond then follows up with two strikes of his own, hoping to finally take the thing down!

Bardiche (1): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 171d10 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + (3) + 3 = 8
Bardiche (2): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 151d10 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (9) + (1) + 3 = 13

Bolstered by the creature's condition Perfire presses his projectile attack.

TK Projectile: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Frizz calls out with effort as she rushes in for another assault.

ShortSword (1): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
ShortSword (P/S)Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 4
ShortSword (2): 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 4 = 9
ShortSword (P/S)Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Stride, Strike, Strike

Cripes. And Lilika?

Lilika continues her magical assault.

Acid Splash: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Raise Shield.

The combatants lunge and twist, slash and weave. Then the wave smashes down again, nearly driving Wymond to his knees.

Wave v. Wymond: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 312d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 4) + 7 = 14 Hit.
Wave v. Lilika: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 142d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 6) + 7 = 15 Miss.

Everyone, go!

Perfire flings yet more debris at the creature.

TK Projectile: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Wymond gasps for breath.

"Not...givin'...up! Get 'em Triath!" he manages. Triath obliges.

Support action.

Then Wymond hacks against the tide again!

Bardiche (1): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 141d10 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + (3) + 3 = 7
Bardiche (2): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 61d10 + 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + (4) + 3 = 13

Frizz hacks wildly with her shortsword.

ShortSword (1): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
ShortSword (P/S)Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 4

ShortSword (P/S)Damage: 1d6 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
Sneak Attack: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Lilika uses the healing forces of nature to mend Wymond's battered body.

Raise shield, Heal at Level 1. Lilika has only one Level 1 Heal spell left.

Heal: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Perfire, Wymond and Frizz beat, stab crush and generally disassemble the elemental until it crashes back into the water and dissipates. The sounds suddenly echo loudly off the slimy walls.

COMBAT OVER!

STATUS
Lilika - 29/48 hp
Frizz - 21/48 hp
Wymond - 21/64 hp
...Triath - 10 damage
Perfire - 9/30 hp

Frizz slumps her shoulders after the effort and looks as if she's about to sit down against a wall. Then second guesses herself, not trusting the water on the floor.

"Ya know. Some people fear drowning, but I think having a living wave beat you to death is probably worse."

She rummages in her bag and breathes a sigh of relief that her books were not soaked in the melee. Popping open her journal and grabbing a quill, she approaches the portal.

"WhatchaThinkThisThingDoes?DoYouThinkIt'sAzlanti?"

Seeing the threat fall, Wymond gingerly removes his helmet and spits out a mouthful of water, while Triath collects himself and raises his head nobly, letting his coat dry.

"Whew! Tha' was a close one!" Wymond says. Then he notices Frizz moving towards the portal he and his player are just now noticing.

"Oy, careful now, Frizz! 'Member what happened last time we messed with some magic stuff without knowin' proper what it did?"

He gives Slaagh a sheepish look.

Sodden and near shaking with fear, Perfire sloshes to the nearest table and places his pack on it. After a moment of rummaging he draws out a few potion vials. He quickly uncorks and drinks one before turning to his companions. 'Is anyone else injured? I only have a few but am willing to share.'

Potion of healing(minor): 1d8 ⇒ 7

"Nay, Erastil provides all the healin' I need."

Wymond lays hands on himself in prayer.

Lay on Hands, +6 HP

"May take some time fer me te say the proper prayers, but I can bless all o' ye with healin'...though Lili's spells an' yer potions'll probably be faster, an there's nothin' more pleasing te Ol' Deadeye than efficiency."

Frizz chews on the tip of her quill, staring intently at the portal.

"I...CanPatchUsUp...It'llJustTakeTime...DoYouThinkThisHasBeenHereAWhile?"

'Tough to tell at a glance. I can maybe try to figure out more about it while you work on bandaging us.' Perfire leaves the two potions on the table next to his pack and gives the portal a healthy distance as he studies it.

Not sure what action or roll to take here, Detect Magic? Investigate?

Arcana.

Arcana: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

This looks very much like a portal to another place. Given that it periodically disgorges water, you theorize that it is either a portal to an ocean on Golarion or...the elemental plane of Water.

Frizz begins to absentmindedly patch up Perfire.

"IWonderIfThereAreMoreWavePeople,ButLikeNiceWavePeopleThatJustWantToHug..."

She blathers on about all the various creatures that could or could not live in the ocean and come from this portal.

I have Assurance in Medicine so automatically pass my check with a 16. Trained=4+2
Treat Wounds Perfire: 2d8 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7

Frizz will continue to treat wounds on anyone willing to listen to her theory on why water is only the second best element. She never clarifies what the first best element is.

Points for making the GM snort with laughter!

Does Perfire divine a way to close the portal? Or is that beyond his grasp?

'Thank you' Perfire manages to tear himself away from his study for a moment to give Frizz and encouraging smile as she finishes her work on his wounds.

'I don't know about friendly. I'm of the opinion we should try to seal this portal so no more unfriendly creatures come through.'
