Motteditor's Savage Tide (Inactive)

Game Master motteditor

Silvio, you could try rolling an Intimidate check to get its attention; doing so, though, may mean it focuses all its attacks on you until something else gets its attention.

Intimidate it is!

Khaz rushes upstairs onto the deck, gasping at the sight of the hydra.

Can I reach the hydra with an acidic ray?

Yes

Yay!

Khaz aims at Zstelian's target with an acidic ray, but is so flustered by its hideous visage that she misses.

ranged touch attack, -4 for firing into combat, +1 for bless: 1d20 + 6 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 - 4 + 1 = 61d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Round 2, init 12, hp 22/29

Sekathral, suffering from a nasty bite to the shoulder, rockets out of the water and attempts to vault up onto one of the hydra's necks acrobatics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32 and start choppin'

attk: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 2 = 23

dmg: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (1, 5, 5) = 15

If no flanking/sneak attack, please disregard flanking bonus/extra damage

Backing up, Kyson calls down the goddess' blessing as Silvio and Kayle try futilely to attract the hydra's attention.

Instead, it's focus switches to Zstelian and Sekathral as they begin inflicting grevious wounds on it -- Zstelian's first dagger misses, but the second slices cleanly through one of its necks. The elf leaps onto the creature's neck, flipping past one of the outstretched head, which snaps on him, and drives his blade into a neck. The cut's not deep enough to cut cleanly through, however.

Khazmia's ray of acid splashes into the water harmlessly.

The creature swims closer to the boat, heads snapping at its various harriers. It manages to hit Zstelian 7 hp and Sekathral 5 hp as well as the sailor in the water, but Kayle's magical protection prevents its teeth from closing on the falcon.

"No no, Khaz! Shoot the sliced head with acid, not the water! That way it may not grow back!" Kyson offers helpfully.

Kyson quasi-delays, waiting to see how many heads get chopped this round before deciding how much fire to bring to the hydrafight.

effects:

Silvio tries once more to get the hydra’s attention. ”Hey, you test Silvio’s patience. Come here and try to bite something that will bite back!” he yells.

Intimidate as a standard action: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Round 2, Init

"What? Oh Right, the beast! What do you mean grow back?!?!"holy cr*p! They grow back? How do you fight something that grows back? shoot the head,shoot the head, Icandothat...I...can...

Khazmia tries again, shooting another acidic ray at the beast, aiming for the head.

ranged touch into melee, but blessed: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 41d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

apparently, she can't do that!

Round 3, init 12, HP 22/34

Sekathral stays where he is, grimly attempting to slice through the neck he's clinging to before the monster does for him...

Attk: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 2 + 1 = 17

Dmg: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (6, 6, 5) + 1 = 25

Zstelian winces as the beast's fangs pierce his flesh but quickly falls back a step and flicks two more daggers at the writhing heads.

Dagger: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Dagger: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Confirming: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
Extra Damage: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Kayle follows up with another swooping rake.

Flyby: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Round 3, Init last

Seeing Sekathral and Zstelian continue to sever heads (and Khaz continue to shoot the water), Kyson steps up to bring Sarenrae's fire to aid in the fight.

Kyson spellprays for a fireball, trying to burn out all the severed heads at once (should be 4 heads a-sliced by my count) and get as much of the body as possible.

6d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 4, 2, 1, 6) = 20 fire damage vs. Reflex DC 18

"Seka! Look out!"

I think I can avoid Seka and get most of the beast, but also if he's in the blast, uh...uhm...uh...roll better than a 7 on your save, buddy!

Silvio's taunts seem to get the creature's attention and it turns toward the Chelaxian on the shore even as Zstelian severs two more heads. Though Kayle can't get through the creature's tough hide, Sekathral manages to take out another head.

Khaz's blast of acid misses, but Kyson explodes a ball of fire around it, catching the elven pirate in its midst as well. Sorry, Seka, need a save.

The hydra lashes out at Silvio, Seka and Kayle, but none of the heads can hit as the creature reels from the pain of its injuries.

Man, I can't hit the broad side of a barn, lately!

"Keep it up!" Zstelian shouts.

"Boy, I hope you have another one of those fireballs."

Dagger: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Round 4, init 12, HP 22/34

Reflex save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

Oh , Evasion, Evasion, I looove you...

Sekathral, noticing the incoming inferno out of the corner of his eye, nips behind one of the hydra's neck the instant the blast hits, avoiding the flames entirely and leaping onto another neck after the blaze dies down, ready to continue the struggle.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22

Attk: 1d20 + 11 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 11 + 2 + 1 = 28

Dmg: 1d6 + 2 + 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + (5, 6, 6) + 1 = 26

Round 4, Init 22

Khaz tries one more time to blast the hydra with an acidic ray, aiming again for a likely wound.

range touch plus bless minus firing into melee: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 81d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Round 4, Init last

Kyson lets out a big sigh of relief as Sekathral avoids Sarenrae's fury.

Pushing his good fortune, Kyson moves within 15' and draws upon more of Sarenrae's fire.

Cast Burning Hands, seeking to burn some heads.

5d4 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 1, 4) = 11 fire damage vs. reflex DC 16

Sure wish Silvio were here. Then the beast could eat Silvio while I ran away.

Round 3, initiative 17
ac 24, touch 17, fleet-footed 17

effects: combat expertise

Silvio smiles as he dodges one attack after another from the hydra. ”There, now we are in agreement”, he says grinning and prepares to slash against the hydra should it continue its attacks.

Standard action to ready an action to strike at the hydra if it attacks me: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 12 - 2 = 15 (-2 combat expertise), damage 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Zstelian's dagger takes another head off the beast this hydra apparently has really slender necks! as it stretches up to bite at Kayle, who continues to flap around it.

Sekathral's blade takes another, leaving it with only one remaining. Khazmia's blade misses again and it mostly avoids Kyson's blast of fire, though it does seem to cauterize the wounds.

Silvio's blade is turned by the creature's tough hide as it bites at him, jaws sinking into the Chelaxian's shoulder, though he manages to twist at the last moment so it more grazes the skin than tearing at any muscle. 4 hp

Round 5, Init 22

Khazmia tries one last time to hit the hydra instead of the water.

one last time range touch acidic ray with bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 111d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Round 5, Init last

Seeing that most of his big fire has been used up, Kyson lights the candle and tries to sear another hydra head.

C'mon Kyson...this is just like shooting womp rats back home in Begger's Canyon.

1d20 + 7 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 - 4 = 12 touch to hit; (combat)
1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 fire damage to cauterize.

Round 5, init 12, HP 22/34

Fresh out of daggers, Zstelian switches to bigger weapons.

Charkam: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Charkam: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Flyby: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Silvio and Sekathral combine to sever the last head, Kyson cauterizes it, and the beast collapses back into the water, its blood quickly flowing out to sea, cleaing the pool in minutes.

1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 12 - 2 = 24
1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Zstelian whistles signaling Kayle to break off her attack and then wades in closer to make sure the beast is truly dead.

Once that's confirmed he sets about digging his blades from it's flesh.

"Well done", the old varisian quips.

You're going to have to make checks to see if you recover the weapons. If you're severing heads with the blades, they're probably not stuck in flesh. I'll give you 50-50 odds per weapon, though.

50/50 odds to recover thrown weapons? That's kind of harsh, that's the normal rules for recovering ammunition. Did they fly off a cliff or something?

"Well done", the old varisian quips.

"Yes, Silvio knows", the chelaxian answers with a satisfied grin and surveys the scene. "Silvio proclaims this area pacified. You may continue any task that was interrupted."

Kyson tosses a couple more balls of fire at the hydra, trying to ensure that it's dead-dead and not coming back.

"Is it dead? What about the guys that fell overboard? Silvio?!!? What about them?!? KHAZ!! C'mere!"

Kyson will hurriedly cast Water Walk, dividing the time between him and Khaz (and Seka if he wants it). "We have to find the sailors that fell over! Quick!"

Kyson gets overboard and begins to try to find the sailors that were bitten earlier.

* * *
When everyone is back aboard that can be saved, Kyson will call upon Sarenrae for healing...happy to get normal man and sailor alike in Sarenrae's divine spark.

Are you there, Sarenrae? It's me, Kyson. I could use your help if you're not busy.

3d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 3) = 10 Healing

"You want me to go out there? in the Water????" Khaz steps cautiously out to help look for the sailors, though she never truly relaxes until they safely back aboard the ship.

"There is nothing to worry about, Lazy Khazmia. Silvio has proclaimed the waters safe", Silvio assures Khaz then proves it by diving into the lake to look for the fallen sailors (taking of his chain shirt first).

"Water ain't for walking on", says Sekathral in a disapproving tone, diving back into the water and gliding through it like a particularly revolting otter, searching for any downed sailors/anything else interesting that happens to have sunk to the bottom.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

Zstelian, it's a pool at the base of a 200-foot-waterfall that flows directly into the ocean. If you're several necks with it, they're not going to be stuck in the body. It feels fair to me, but if everyone thinks I'm being harsh, I can rethink it. If you want to dive in (or have Seka do it) and search the bottom of the floor, I'll give it a 75 percent change of recovery.

One of the sailors appears to have died, his body swept out to sea. You're able to save the other though, who thanks you repeatedly for the rescue and healing.

Seka, below the surface you find a grim scene -- dozens of sunken ships of all sizes rot in the mud and seaweed.

You think it will take some time to search them all.

I certainly don’t mind having to go looking for them. Zstelian has a good perception check and he could always ask some fish or something. I just don’t like the idea of thrown weapons disappearing into the void. Thrown weapons already have it rough enough compared to archery. =/

Zstelian sends Kayle into the air and then dives into the water in search of his daggers.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

If Zstelian and Seka are diving in the waters and not being eaten by more monsters, Kyson will 'dredge' up he courage do search the area where the Hydra came from.

Maybe there is a mer-damsel inside who needs rescuing. Maybe she'll repay me for rescuing her with uh...uhm...fish.

Cast Detect Magic.

Sekathral will search the first couple of ships he comes acroess, giving up if he fails to find anything interesting and also picking up any of Zstelian's missiles he happens to come across

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

It takes an hour, but Kyson is able to find two items that haven't rotted away and detect as magic: what looks like a pendant fashioned from a large scale and a green leather cloak.

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24 Spellcraft Pendant
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21 Spellcraft Cloak

"Uhm...Look what I found! Neat, huh?!"

Kyson offers the goods to whomever wants them.

Kyson will send the rest of the time enjoying himself and the fresh water and isn't happy to have to re-board the boat and sail away.

"ooh, that's Pretty! May I see?" Khazmia holds her hand out for the pendant, her lavender eyes momentarily shining as she contemplates the lovely jewelry.

spellcraft pendant: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

"Uhm, what is it? It seems magical, but I can't quite... "

She couldn't care less about the ugly, water logged cloak, I'm afraid. But Jewelry.... oh my. Still, a spell craft for both, just in case.

spellcraft cloak: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Anyone going to claim either of the items?

Eventually, you get back on the boat and both ships refill their water and resume their journey.

The next six days pass uneventfully before you arrive late in the day at a village called Renkrue, in the Isles of Axuxal. The ships arrive in the harbor, prompting villagers in rough tribal wear to hurry to the shore. Behind them, two wooden buildings rise above a collection of straw and mud huts.

It's safe to say we pick them up for now if nobody wants them we can always sell them later.

Daggers: 6d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3) = 11
Chakram: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

Zstelian stows the weapons he manages to recover and makes a mental note to pay more attention to where he's throwing his weapons in the future.

"Good finds Kyson. I wonder how long that beast has been terrorizing the area?" the old ranger says as he strips studies the items.

Skill Focus

Pendant: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
Cloak: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Bah! During the next 6 days...

Cloak: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Cloak: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Cloak: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

Cloak: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27

Take that cloak!

***

Zstelian waves as the locals approach.

"Anyone know anything about these people?"

Knowledge (geography): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

"They're Olman, mate. They won't do you any harm. This village is the only one that has much contact with strangers, though, so anywhere else might not be quite so friendly"

"Do they trade with outsiders?" Zstelian muses aloud.

"We weren't able to resupply at the fort and I'd feel better if we got some fresh meat in the stores."

Sekathral shrugs.

"So far as I know. We can ask 'em, anyway - you're right about the stores. Fresh meat and greens is what we need, else we'll all have scurvy in a week or so"

Sekathral shrugs.

"So far as I know. We can ask 'em, anyway - you're right about the stores. Fresh meat and greens is what we need, else we'll all have scurvy in a week or so"

knowl geography: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

"It wouldn't hurt to ask. Uhm, does anyone know how to talk to them?"

Amella indicates they do trade, which is why they're stopping here. They'll be spending the night as they trade and unload goods and reload the ships with food.

The other passengers on the ship seem excited to get off the Sea Wyvern and spend some time stretching their legs on shore after weeks at sea. Skald nods as he passes you, his bow slung to his back, the rest of your shipmates taking a bit more time to gather their things.

Tavey, the cabin boy, looks mournfully out to shore as he watches others departing.

"Maybe we should go ashore, sell some things. Maybe they have the inks I need to do more scribings. I like scribings!" Kyson still looks for the chance to use his magic Quill, but being stuck on a boat without access to lots of ink has made it difficult to enjoy.

Kyson waves at the villagers.

"Maybe some of them need the healing of Sarenrae. Everyone loves Sarenrae!"

Kyson makes himself among the first to get off the boat and looks to trade for magical inks (if they have any) and looking for those that might need his healing arts (and the chance to talk about Sarenrae).

Kyson is greeted by a number of smiling villagers. Several of them hold out charms made of bone and feathers as Father Feres also disembarks, looking around.

"Ucapan, orang yang tidak dikenali. Selamat datang ke Renkrue," one says, nodding to you as he holds out a bowl full of some milky liquid.

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 Sense Motive

"For me, thank you!" Kyson says with a smile.

Kyson looks around at the others to see if any of them think this is a bad idea.

Kyson takes a drink and hopefully doesn't fall down dead.

"Tomorrow, I'll understand better. Today, we'll just nod and point, huh? I'm Kyson." Kyson points at Kyson. "Kyson," Kyson points at Kyson again.

"That's Khaz." Kyson points at Khaz.
"Zstelian." Kyson points at Zstelian.
"Silvio."
"Sekathral."

Kyson smiles and points through them all.

For you Sarenrae, for you. I'll teach them about the Sun for you.

"Ta, mate"

Hope this is alcoholic

Sekathral takes a swig of the milky liquid, then attempts to figure out what the Olman who addressed the group was trying to say.

Linguistics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
