I'm going to start discussing inane landscapes in extreme detail from here on out.
"And from a-b 5-7 there's a stand of pansies, and next to that, in c-6, there's a hedgehog burrow, with a....three-leafed clover of some kind dangling above it. To your right, the gorse is trembling in the wind.

feel free to read the spoiler; this quotation has no bearing on anything, unlike about 5% of my actual posts."
Post post damn spot!
"Killin' dolphin-killers is AL'WAYZ a good t'ing, yes!"
Elgan agrees emphatically. He gives the strange, diabolical viper-tree the once over.
"An while ah'm not usual'y a big fan o' tree-cuttin,... Ah t'inks in dis case, ah'll makes an exception."
"Burn deh f#@$%^!" He tells Reise and Altai emphatically.
This thing is an abomination to trees, this flailing willowtree that wears a serpentine skin. A thousand hissing heads for branches, undulating in a nonexistent wind, Elgan the druid can feel no kinship in the brotherhood and sisterhood of all the children of the Oerthmother with this thing.
"Can the magic-men zap the snake trees from back here? I wouldn't want to get too close to them ... they're probably poisonous."
"I was hoping Riese could burn it into little bits of charcoal." Altai looks around the lagoon. "Where the hell did everybody go? They must have heard us wipe out their demonic patron."
“Maybe they got scared and ran away?” suggest Beldan hopefully, then shakes his head. “More likely they’re just lurking down there,” he points to the water, “waiting to get us when we try to cross.”
"Who can swim?" Oso shakes his head. "Elgan can you take a look as a fish?"
"I can enable all of us to breathe water, if needed. Could come in handy if we need to cut our way through the lagoon."
"I was hoping Riese could burn it into little bits of charcoal." Altai looks around the lagoon. "Where the hell did everybody go? They must have heard us wipe out their demonic patron."
"Awww, alright! Imbelia furtion de'flar Pyrrok!"
5d6+5=20 X1.5= 30 damage. Riese casts a Fiery Riese's Firebolt that he empowers with his spellshard at the demon-tree thingy."We'll see how that works. Seems like everything we fight anymore has some type of fire resistance though so I'm not holding my breath."
The thing shrieks in pain. It's snaky heads flail. The fire catches it alight.
On the far shore, you see the water of the lagoon splashing in numerous places like crocodiles taking to water.
You see no visible being or beings making this effect.
"We'll see how that works. Seems like everything we fight anymore has some type of fire resistance though so I'm not holding my breath."
and I do remain cognizant of this fact.
Why just yesterday I crumpled up the page with the 5 greater asbestos elementals I was going to sick on you guys.
"Odd." Altai watches the water at the far shore splash and splatter. "This calls for further investigations."

The viper tree does not die.
Here's the map layout.
a-u across the top, 1-26 side....
You guys are on a beach; it encompasses e-p 2-6. Hallway back to Graz'zt at j1 k1; it goes back about 50 feet to Graz'zt's hall.
Rank one is the north wall of the grotto, and everything else on the map is a piece of lagoon and thus is underwater.
There's a boat moored at mn 7-11. This is the boat you guys took across.
The viper tree is 200 feet south across the lagoon.
Under the water, spot rolls *sic* reveal three "large" forms, what they are as of yet is indeterminate. These are headed toward you guys fast.
They're at fg 18-19, qr 18-19, and at LM 21-22 when you spot them; a good 3 feet under the surface.
1)Riese went. He's got one act post-(first) fireball, then he's on initiative.
2)Everybody's got 1 round to act post-fireball, then they're on initiative.
3)Altai can make a spot roll; he's allready acted once post-fireball so has no post-fireball actions.
So roll initiative, and Altai can make a spot roll to boot, then it's (finally) on like Donkey Kong.
(sorry this was kinda klunky; I mapped the southern beach and thought you'd row over there, so I ended up kinda klunkily getting this thing going. Now that I see things, I don't know why the f*&* you would've gotten in a boat and rowed over there.)
Oh,...and Altai's statement reminded me. The tree walks twenty feet out into the water, and half it's 25 feet height is submerged. ;)
Now it's only 180 feet away.
Sensing danger a-comin' Pip starts to strum Lucille
"Riese and Stig and Beldan
On a routine expedition
Met the lamest aspect ever known
While cleaning off their weapons
After they cut off his head
They saw unseen guys coming up from down below
To the land of their death death death death"
link
you get a sick vision of Graz'zt and Iggwilv singing this duet.
(edit) It's not a rickroll....it might be worse.
“Oh great, the tree can walk … and swim …” Beldan mutters.
He will slip off to hide in the shadows.
Right on; J1 or K 1 ought to be shadowy I reckon.
Oh,...and Altai's statement reminded me. The tree walks twenty feet out into the water, and half it's 25 feet height is submerged. ;)
"Um, now I... F%¤#!ng hell." Altai's clearly stunned. "Now I have seen everything."
(edit)spoiler for Altai...
Oso casts magic circle vs evil around himself. "Today I fight here. Pip please help dem with healing. I is going to cut this tree down. Unless someone else does that first."
Oso prepares to cast more magic on himself.
right on;
again just a friendly reminder that the tree is across the grotto a good 200 feet away, though it is walking towards you all at a leisurely pace. It might be there in 10 rounds.....
"ten rounds, this fight isn't gonna last ten seconds!"
10 rounds, right I'll save the big spells for a while.
The other guys'll get there way before then.
Oh,...and Altai's statement reminded me. The tree walks twenty feet out into the water, and half it's 25 feet height is submerged. ;)"Um, now I... F%¤#!ng hell." Altai's clearly stunned. "Now I have seen everything."
Elgan also stares at the tree as it slithers into the waves. He then turns to glare at Altai.
'It's not like it's goin' anywhare'. Yeh just HAD tah say that, didn'ya?!?!' He declares, arms flapping wildly.
He grabs his wooden holy symbol and almost angrily calls upon the gifts of his patroness.
"Ah'll he'p wit deh healin' too, but dis iz gittin' personal-lahk! Ah'm goin' in!" He tells Oso and the others as his skin turns dark and rough with the protection of his goddesses charm.
The spell is altered somewhat.....the barky appearance of the spell is tainted with diamondback scale patterns....
"Incoming! There are a few sahuagin in the water as well as whatever it is that is creating the waves. Be prepared!"
Right on....just seeing if Stiggy; Gittik want to do something free and then we're on initiative.
Woah.....Michael Jackson R.I.P.
<Stig polishes his axe then checks his reflection in it, picking at his teeth a little bit.>
<Licks his balls.>
Woah.....Michael Jackson R.I.P.
Woah.....Michael Jackson R.I.P.And children everywhere breathed a sigh of relief.....Seriously though, pretty big news, I remember waiting by the TV counting down the minutes to the new MJ Video on MTV. You were a freak, MJ, but you were also amazing. Rest in Peace O' King of Pop!
Oh, yeah.....I wouldn't take my kids to his house.
(lol) 4 hours 50 minutes to figure out my youngest unplugged the wireless box next to the t.v. I'm used to the other way farting around with the computer to restore connectivity....all I had to do is plug the doohickey in!!!
Oh, yeah.....I wouldn't take my kids to his house.
<draw kukris>
Initiative....
and positions please...
Oh, yeah.....I wouldn't take my kids to his house.
Who, me or Michael Jackson?
Looks like y'all win initiative. call your action and say where you want to be.
You can be anywhere you want to be; on the beach or in the water.
spellcraft: dc1
Oso casts another spell on himself, "Size of an ox, Strength to match!"
Right on.
You smell steak.
Elgan nods at Oso, and casts another spell on himself.
He looks tougher, and meaner.
Elgan says, "Let 'dem cum tah us Chere'. Outta deh watuh perferably. Din' Ah kin Entangle up. Gift wrap up all nice-lahk fer Gittk an' Stiggy!" He grins as he shifts into a large Dire Bear, and waits for their opponents arrival as he slaps his massive paws together, creating tiny thunderclaps.
Stig drinks his growth potion, too.
