Diplomacy Sele:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 -_> well.....i roll boss here.
Sele speaks his diplomatic words, about wishing to give a proper burial to Hemzel and his wolf and the fight with the strange unseelies, and the gnomes' attitude becomes somewhat friendly, as the tension in the air lightens.
The speaker sighs, and they join in the burial of their friend.
Speaker: "Rest well my friend." He looks at you guys.
Keera had shared the infor in the journal with the others, and Sele inquires about it too.
"Ah, yes, we know of a druid circle nearby.
We're not going there, though. The place somehow gives us the creeps, something is wrong there."
He draws a crude map in the ground, and points towards a direction.
"You guys aren't so bad, for being part of that organization."
He grabs something from his pack, and hands you a wand of CLW.
"Here, take it. Just in case you run into something very ugly.
We'll take our leave, best of luck to you."

"Whew, glad that turned out ok... well as ok as this situation can be, no?", Vassago smiling at the others. "It seems our goal is clear, we must find the circle and protect it from this evil fey that caused this mess."
I guess I wouldn't mind some CLW bops to top me off so I can save the Kinetic Heals for emergency combat purposes :)
10 charges are used, all are at max, but Vassago, who's at max -1.[/ooc]
Following the direction of the gnomes, you start a long hike.
The walk is long, having to move through undergrowth and paths of mere ground.
Eventually the path narrows, making it impossible for anything but medium and smaller creatures to navigate through.
Evening falls, and the lighting has become dim. Sight penalty for poor Spenser only. :)
The thick trees, brush, and brambles of the Verduran Forest finally give way to a glassy lake with a small tree-studded island just thirty feet offshore.
An improvised bridge of mossy logs stretches toward the island from the near shore, though some of the trunks have tipped nearly vertical into the water, leaving gaps along the makeshift bridge.
Footing on the slick log bridge is difficult (requiring DC 10 Acrobatics checks to move at half speed), and the gaps in it require either Swim or Jump checks to cross. The lake is 10 feet deep.

healing for Lot:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
That takes care of him; 1 more charge used.
Spenser opts to simply ford the lake atop his mighty steed.
Lot is a Large creature, presumably meaning 10X10 dimensions, so he may just be able to walk across the bottom of the lake with his nostrils in the air, but just in case....

Mostly, but this is near a mostly hidden, and hard to reach, location.
Heavy growth all over the place, and a narrow path meant for medium and smaller.

Alright then, make the above Swim roll mine (for a result of 20).
Spenser dives into the lake, shining armor and all, and plows through the water like some great primeval fish.
As Vassago arrives at the middle, his quick reflexes enable him to avoid a sudden snare trap, that was deviously placed.
But upon doing so, he invokes the wrath of a couple of serpents, which hang above in the dark branches.
The snakes lash at him, biting his shoulders.
2 DC 13 fort rolls please. If affected, you take 1d2 con dmg for the next 6 rounds. If you are affected by a second, the duration increases by 2 rounds, as does the DC for the save.
While Vassago has a viper above him, and near him, Spenser has swam up to near a large crocodile, which was hiding below the water's surface.
It is still submerged.
A note, a submerged creature has total cover from creatures on dry land. Mentioning just in case you were going for the croc 1st.
Edit: i have the faint idea i'll see those deleted rolls back as swim and combat checks.
Maybe you've denied yourself a nat 20, by doing so. :P

Fort 1:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10 Fort 2:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Ouch! I have Reflex of the Gods, but not the Fort Con damage:1d2 ⇒ 2
"Aye carumba!"
Fort vs Poison DC 15:1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 - 1 = 18 Well, no other con damage now.
Vassago creates a bat of water, summoning extra water to add enough mass to possibly bash one of the snakes away. "I'm tired of the motherlovin' snakes over this motherlovin' log!"
Move action to Gather Power, standard to attack using kinetic blade with pushing infusion
Defensive Kinetic water blade @ Green:1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 6 - 4 = 8 Damage on hot:3d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2, 3) + 7 = 13 Bull rush CMB roll on hit:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 On success, green is pushed away 5' as per pushing infusion
Vassago feels a little queesy from the bites, but overcomes it shortly after. He quickly attacks the green viper, but the branches obstruct a proper hit.
--------------
Croc bites at Spenser.
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 191d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 Grab?:1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 - 2 = 16 Tail slam:1d20 ⇒ 191d12 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
While Spenser avoids being grabbed in the nick of time, he does get pummeled for 17.

"Glub-GLUB! GlubglubglubglubglubglubGLUBglub!"
masterwork greatsword, Power Attack:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17+2 if Vassago gives me a flank damage:2d6 + 12 ⇒ (1, 4) + 12 = 17
Then I 5-foot Swim back toward the shore.
Swim check if necessary:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
It would be good if someone could heal me - remember I get +2 per die of healing.

We haven`t talked about not attacking animal first? Asks Keera clearly disgusted on their friends attitude.
Kenji whacks down a snake.
Spenser hits the croc for 8, due to water combat, and stays in place.
Could you in following rounds roll swim check first, thanks.
Keera:
These are venomous vipers. Physically not impressive, but their venom can harm one's constitution.

Reptiles at the bridge, round 2

With Kenji helping alleviate the snake threat, Vassago decides to help take on the crocodile! "Tick tock, senor crocodile!", the ifrit taunts as he takes water from the very river itself into an extra large bludgeoning shape and slams it down on the crocodile!
Not sure if me being on the log counts as being on dry land compared to the crocodile, but throwing a miss chance in just in case.
The croc is out of melee reach, and from your sight. The certainty you guys do know, is that something is attacking him from down below.
The logs do count as being dry surface.
M Ifrit Overwhelming Soul (Kineticist) 7 | HP 52/52 | AC 23 T 14 FF 21 | F +7 R +10 W +4 | Init +8 | Perc +10 | Diplomacy +14
Alright, I'll risk the AoO from the snake and 'blast' the croc if that is ok. That actually increases the attack roll by 3 and the damage by 2 for making a ranged blast.

"Glubglub-GLUBGLUB! Glubglubglubglub!!!"
Given that I'm stuck with it down here, I'd kind of appreciate some backup - Vassago would be particularly welcome, but the more, the merrier.
If Keera could tame it, that would also be a valid approach.

For what you has been post it looks Keera doesn`t know there's a crocodile under the water, so no possibility to calm the croc. But if Spenser can fly up from the water I'll cast a fly on him
If Spenser can't fly:
Keera will cast a bull's strengh in Kenji.
Alacorta, take care of the snake, but don`t let it poison you
If you can roll a DC 10 acrobatics, you can reach Kenji.
Alacorta flies off to fight the remaining viper, which had been lying on the branches. Contrary to Alacorta's bravery, the viper's reflexes were better.
----------------------
Reptiles at the bridge, round 2
Vassago deals with the viper, chopping its head off, and it drops into the water below.
-----------------
Croc (-8)
The large predator makes another bite at Spenser.
Jaws:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 251d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 Crit?:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 141d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 Grab?:1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 11 - 2 = 26D-roll dmg:1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
The big reptile starts rolling around in the water, and Spenser is caught in a spinning motion, before the team sees him go underwater.
You are grappled in prone position. CMD 18 check to break free.
From grappled, you have -4 dex. You take -2 to attacks and CMB, except for those to break free.
------------------
Sele
Kenji & Spenser
Keera
Not yet. Croc's too busy nibbling Spenser's legs.
Either it has to come up, or you guys have to get down.
I'm sure your (team) hidden creativity can spark here.
With Sele advancing, it's
Kenji & Spenser (resolve first)
Keera
Kenji sees the biggest crocodile he's ever seen, with Spenser currently locked in its jaws.
His own fist glides through the water, but the two struggling hampers his accuracy.
Attacks under water take -2 penalties, and B & S dmg is halved.
P deals full.

Sorry for the delay If I cast Fly on spell, he can go out of the water with it?
If Spenser can't fly:
Keera will start summoning a crocodile sacrificing her neutralise poison spell
