Trunau is truly a town on the frontier. The frontier between the world of Humans, Elves, Dwarfs and the like and the world of Orcs and Giants. It will take a brave and hardy group of adventurers to defend Trunau and the region from what is about to come.

Kaos moves up five through the murky water to attack again.

It might not mean any difference, but remember elementals are usually immune to critical hits ;)
Leira blames herself for being so lame to think the aquatic creatures will not see her and cries in pain as she is struck by their claws.
Impulsive as always, the girl creates a magical crack in the space with her free hand and goes through with a dimensional slide appearing just behind the monsters in a flanking position with Kaos. I do believe she is flanking #4 now +2 shortsword+flank:1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 2 = 20Not sure if an additional +2 applies for being invisible in this case Piercing damage+AS+sneak attack:1d6 + 3 + 3 + 4d6 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 3 + (5, 4, 4, 3) = 25

I moved Haskyll up using a move action. This would catch all party members and all monsters except the Aquatic Humanoid number 2 in the Prayer. As you noted, mobile devices do not work well with Google Drawings. I have had similar issues. However, I noted that the back button does work, so you can use this to reverse any errant moving of the maps. I have done this way too many times myself. Map has been readjusted.
Round Two Complete
Haskyll swims up some and says a Prayer for the party.
The Crustacean-like creature attacks Anga with its pincer-like claws. It barely strikes Anga with its first claw. It missed with its second. However, it has managed to grab Anga into its first claw.
@Leira - Oops. I did forget this. Ironically, I had remembered it earlier. My old age is begin to show. Your Elemental is still on the board with 7 HPs. You can attack with it in Round Three. Thanks for catching that. By the way, it is the second and third ones that are still up. I noted the second one as unconscious. The first and fourth ones are unconscious. You would have Dimensional Slide to one still kicking for your flank.
Suddenly a massive Dolphin, the largest of its kind, an Orca. Also known as a Killer Whale appears in the massive room. The creature shimmers with all types of colors in a chaotic pattern. It attacks the lobster-like aberration. But misses its bite as it swims near.

I know what you are doing with the damage, ulfgard, but I started when it seemed you did 2211 damage. :D btw, wouldn'tthe shield damage be halved too?
Leira hesitates while her wounded Water Elemental slams into the second Fresh Water Merrow. Yes, Leira recalls these creatures. She also notice that these Merrows operate with greater precision than what is typical of their kind. Leira believes that they may have combat training of some kind. Leira still does not know the other creature currently grappling with Anga.
BTW-The first Merrow is unconscious.
Kaos swims a stroke and attacks the higher in the water third Fresh Water Merrow. Twice his pick pierces the creature.
Leira then slides through a dimensional space coming up behind the third one. She drives her weapon into the creature. It rolls back unconscious, but still breathing under the water.
Three down, one to go!
A shimmering Killer Whale appears and attacks the lobster-like creature. It simply missed sinking its teeth into the crustacean.
Droja swims closer to the action.
Now fighting for its life, the second Fresh Water Merrow continues to claw into the Water Elemental. It does little harm with right, but strike enough to send the Water Elemental home with its left.
Ulfgard pounds on the crustacean with his hammer, then jabs it with his spiked shield hoping to make it give up its prey, aka Anga.
But the lobster-like creature doesn't do so. Instead it transfers Anga from its claws to strands of tentacles that looks almost like a long beard flowing from the head of this creature, not unlike the party's Dwarven Cleric.
Tentacle Damage:1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
In addition to taking 9 more points of damage, Anga must make a DC19 Fort save.
The crustacean then attacks Ulfgard with its free claw, but failed to snatch Ulfgard.
Droja continues to swim closer to the action as her Orca attacks again the Crustacean, but this time flanking the lobster-like creature with Ulfgard. It delivers a massive bite into the hard shelled aquatic creature.

The reason for the ask, is the amount and type of damage done, if evil. Still casting the spell though, that hasn't changed. Please see Spear of Purity, Ultimate Magic, Page 240.
Forgive me for this, but it is either nothing, a 5d8 or a 10d6.
Roll for whatever contingency. I will apply the appropriate damage.
The spell does not have the added affect to Detect Evil.

Round 4
Kaos moves through the murky water and takes careful aim at the last Marrow.
Cold iron heavy pick Vital Strike:1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 14 + 1 = 352d6 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3) + 14 + 1 = 21 Cold iron heavy pick crit:1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 1 = 243d6 + 42 + 3 ⇒ (5, 2, 2) + 42 + 3 = 54
Total 75 points of Damage
Leira leaves Kaos with full confidence the strong dragon-man will be able to stand his toes alone with the merrow creature.
Once more she moves her hand to open a circle to dimension slide through and appears in between both fights.
Counts as 5', I always imagine these jumps as Dr. Strange portals!
She tries to swim a bit more to set herself in an advance position.
Swim:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 1120' to advance 5'
Unable to to reach the lobster with her shortsword, the girl focuses all her energies to try cast fire underwater.
Caster level to use fire underwater DC 22:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
But her scorching ray spell is ruined when the water pressure wins her concentration and the fire only evaporates a thin layer of water!
As Anga becomes paralyzed, Haskyll asks for and receives a spear made of pure good energy. The Dwarf Cleric throws the spears at the lobster-like abomination. The spear touches the creature its seems to reel in pain from the strike.
@Haskyll-The creature is evil, and you guessed correctly that it was not an Outsider. Had the creature been Neutral, the spell would have done no damage. In the future when casting this spell, go ahead and roll both contingencies 5d8 and 10d6 if you are uncertain whether they are evil or an evil Outsider. Then I will apply whichever would be appropriate, or nothing. Now if you already know they are evil or an evil Outsider, then that would be different. The reason I do insist upon this is that there could be an encounter where the creature was actually Neutral, and then the spell would do no damage, or an Outsider and do the 10d6. Without a prior detect spell or another method to know the alignment, Haskyll would not know. The Spear of Purity simply does not give the wielder the additional ability to Detect Evil, or even determine if the creature is an Outsider. Thanks.
Round Four
As Kaos approaches the last Freshwater Merrow, the Merrow claws at the approaching Dragon Disciple.
Kaos takes ten points of damage while approaching the second Merrow.
This was truly just a flesh wound when compared to the murderous strike that Kaos delivers to the massive Aquatic humanoid. The Dragon Disciples Cold Iron Pick pierces the Merrows throat severing a large jugular vein. The Merrow dies quickly, blood pouring out into the room.
Leira dimensional slides closer to the large Crustacean. She tries to hit the creature with a Scorching Ray, but the waters were too much for the spell to be effective.
Droja's Orca takes a massive bite out of the Crustacean. The lobster-like creature is thinking that it should have stayed in its hiding place.
Ulfgard bashes and bashes again with Agrimmosh, but the attacks with this amazing weapon does nothing to the lobster-like creature. However, the Dwarf Ranger was able to find an opening and drive his shield into the Crustacean's head. The spike from the shield pierces into the creature's brain. It dies quickly.
Anga is freed from the Crustacean's grasp, but the Dwarf Mage just floats in the water without moving.

Yay we win. @GM Kaos actually has 112 hp so he would be down to 102.
Kaos will look back intending to swim back and help just in time to see Ulfgard finish off the crab thing. Knowing Haskyll will be more likely know how to help Anga. He will cast DM and search the Marrows and the room.
perception Bodies:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 perception room:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
Leira hoping Haskyll can do something for Anga, or at least she can keep breathing underwater, the girl searches the area to make sure no more enemies will jump over the group.
Perception (+1 vs traps):1d20 + 24 ⇒ (4) + 24 = 28
She then renews her dancing lights and send them forward to the south eastern area.
Now that the fight is over Kaos takes time to look in the chamber where the Merrows appeared to be searching for something. The Dragon Disciple see a worn, algae-coated statue of an enormous humanoid figure standing at the back of this chamber. The statue holds a large circular disk and is flanked by a pair of stone menhirs (think Stonehenge).
Kaos will note that two of the Merrows has died, one appears to have stabilized unconscious. In addition, one of the dead merrows had a ring. Another had two chunks of chrysoberyl worth 150 gp each. Kaos will note that the statue's eyes look blank, and that these two chunks of chrysoberyl would fit into the cavities. This Merrow had apparently just pried these gems from the statue. Three of the Merrows had javelins. The other had a trident. The ring, javelins, and trident all radiate magic.
Meanwhile, Anga is searching the next chamber over clockwise from the one Kaos is in. Much of this room has collapsed. Large blocks protrude through the outer walls and several have settled in the middle of the chamber. A giant metal brazier frosted in a green patina stands on its side, wedged in place against the roof.
DC 20 Knowledge (engineering) or Craft (stonemasonry) check:
Any attempt to move the brazier, or any damage to the ceiling, will trigger a cave–in.
Haskyll is looking for some assistance to help Anga. Droja comes over to assist the Dwarf Cleric.

Kaos will take a moment and examine the magic items.
ID ring:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 ID javelins:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 ID trident:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
He will collect all the vaulables and then take a closer look at the statue and trys to remove some of the algae.
When Kaos works to remove the algae from the statue, he will note that the large circular disk the statue is holding is not stone, but instead made of mithril. Because of the algae one could not tell it was of another material unless you removed the algae. On the circular mithril disk is writings.
Both Giant and Linguistics DC20 check:
The disk contains an ancient form of Giant. It is a prayer that is inscribed upon the mithril ring called the “Blessing of Rosag.”
This may not be the place to study magic items for identification, or attempt to decipher the writings on the mithril disk for that matter.

So Anga just hangs around. It's a little boring but beats being eaten by a horrid beastie. Maybe it will wear off at some point.

Kaos will take the mithral disk and take one last look around. Then head back to the group to shell the crab or search the rest of the place. Also does he detect any magic on in or around the beast?

Leira barely retreats her hand on time to avoid being buried under the rocks.

With some gestures of pain she accepts Kaos help, but she makes some gestures of caution as it might be dangerous to take the disk.

Anga's recovery is completed by her swearing.
I hate #$%@ water
This format scrambles actions particularly out of combat. I will have Haskyll channel energy before Leira searches the Southwest chamber. Also, I had Leira taking 26 points of total damage, 13 from the Merrows and 13 from the ceiling collapse. And it was removing the brazier that caused the ceiling collapse. Again, scrambled actions out of combat and in the PBP format. Everyone was doing different things. Kaos was in one room, Leira another, and the rest was helping Anga.
After a little healing, Leira searches the last room. This was the lobster-like creatures nesting area. Leira will find a number of items scattered about the room. It appears that that creature was an adept hunter. You will find a waterlogged suit of hide armor, a masterwork heavy mace, a belt, a stick that shows no sign of decay, a couple of stoppered flask, a scroll case, three malachites worth 10 gp each, a tourmaline worth 120 gp, and finally scattered about 24 gp, 732 sp, 419 cp.

Kaos will swim over and help if needed.
You alright?
So I'm guessing we pick up anything that could be valuable and head out?
