Ongoing PFS campaign. (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

Which way will you be heading to, guys?

I can't remember if we've explored the areas above water on the ship?

"Come up out of the water unless you want to explore the other doorway?" Sele calls out

Harlis nods and emerges. "I'm happy to follow along and aid. My statue doesn't encourage me to be the door opener. There is is still a door here to explore." he points while standing ready to help once opened.

Sele opens the door carefully.

The room is bare in decoration, the only adornment being four empty hammocks hanging from the rafters. The room reeks of brine and rotting wood.

A small hole in the stern sheds a bit of dim light. Another door leads to somewhere else.

Sele will continue on and open the next door if theres nothing of interest in this room

Harlis follows up, shield at ready, but hand free to spell cast or draw longsword as needed.

With Harlis behind him, Sele checks the door....it's unlocked.
Cautiously opening it, he peers inside, where everything is dark.

One light cantrip from Harlis later, and Sele sees a cramped and empty room, save the pungent scent of the sea that wafts from the stairwell set in the center of the room.

When Sele moves over to the stairwell, he notices it leads into a sumberged area.

Sele has an ioun torch floaty around his head

Spenser keeps pace.

Assuming Sele goes down to have a look.

The room is barren, like above, save for some hammocks.
A lone old door leads to the next room.

In this place, and further down, moving requires swim checks.

Spenser boldly makes his way further in....

Swim, hope: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

If Spenser didn't have a light source, Harlis casts light on his sword, after which sir Quixote swims towards the single door, the shining sword on his back casting a shadow on the wall.

Swim checks to follow brave sir Quixote.

Well, since there's no objections otherwise, here we go.
Harlis, i don't recall if your water breathing is still in effect, but probably.

For starting the swimming, i'm assuming everyone uses both free hands.

Harlis [Water breathing?]
Sele 16/24
Spenser 16/24
Vassago 16/24

After Spenser makes his initial swim, the three others follow, or at least, try to.
Both Sele and Vassago manage to swim after him, but Harlis' armor is seriously playing against him. Sele gets to near Spenser in 2 rounds.
It takes the others some time longer, but the team heads to the door in a Tetris block formation.

Spenser and Sele draw their weapons waiting for the others.
When everyone is present, Spenser opens the door, but sees nothing ahead, and shakes his head when he turns his head to face the others.

Exploring ahead still, he makes his way into the room.
Unfortunately for him, five creatures lay in wait, against the ceiling and pressed against the wall, ready to strike.

Bite, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 2 = 15 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Miss.
Bite, height, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 28 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 Hit.
Crit?: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 21 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 Hit.
Fort vs Disease, GH: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28 Success.
Fort vs Paralysis, GH: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28 Success.
Bite, height, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 13 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 Miss.
Bite, height, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 17 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 Miss.
Bite, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 = 11 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 Miss.

Lacedons, round 1

Red bites and claws away at Spenser.
Bite, height, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 9 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Miss.
Claw, height, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 28 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Hit.
Crit?: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 13 No.
Fort vs paralysis, GH: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 = 25 Success.
Claw, height, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 15 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Miss.

Green does the same.
Bite, height, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 25 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 hit.
Fort vs disease, GH: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 = 23 Success.
Fort vs paralysis, GH: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28 Success.
Claw, height, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 10 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 Miss.
Claw, height, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 27 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 Hit.
Fort vs paralysis, GH: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 = 25 Success.

Yikes, 36 dmg. Spenser's fort rolls have been awesome so far.

Harlis
-------------
Yellow & Blue
-------------
Sele
-------------
Cyan
-------------
Vassago
Spenser

For info, the lacedons have surrounded the entryway, in an arc form. So them seemingly sharing a space means the left of the two is 5ft above the right.

Water breathing would last 14 hours for Harlis with only a single target.

Gritting his teeth while in shock at the violent assault Harlis trusts to his companion's armor and blessings while moving to resolve the injuries.

Casting defensively if needed, then stepping up and healing Spenser.

Cast Defensively DC21: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Cure Serious Wounds: 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (1, 5, 1) + 7 = 14

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

A swim check DC 10 please, to move within range to heal him.

Swim Roll: 1d20 - 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) - 3 + 1 + 2 = 7

Harlis struggles against the water with a hand charged with healing energy, but his target out of reach.

His healing charge still ready, the cold waters prove to be a formidable obstacle to Harlis.
-------------------
Yellow takes its chance to strike.

Bite, height: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 = 22 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 Hit.
Fort vs disease, GH: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 2 = 17 Pass.
Fort vs paralysis, GH: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11 Yikes.
Spenser feels his muscles stiffen to the point of being unable to move.
Paralysis lasts 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 rounds.
Claw, height: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 14 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 Hit.
Claw, height: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 1 = 24 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 Hit.
The wounds are too much for our suave cavalier to stay conscious after, and he falls KO.

Con roll to stabilize please. Make it as awesome as those heap of fort rolls i passed earlier.

1d3 ⇒ 1
Blue swims past Spenser, through the doorway and upwards, then bites at Harlis.
Bite, height: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 5 + 1 = 25 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 Hit.
Fort vs disease, GH: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 = 17 Pass.
Fort vs paralysis, GH: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 2 = 23 Pass.
The teeth sink firmly into his shoulder, but Iomedae's favor shines through his firm constitution, as he shrugs off the effect of the cursed creature's bite.
-------------------
Sele
-------------------
Cyan
-------------------
Vassago & Spenser (unstable at -5, paralysis)

looks like blue has moved close enough to Sele to get attacked so Sele will do a couple of powerful attacks at it.

Greatsword: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 242d6 + 13 ⇒ (2, 6) + 13 = 21

Greatsword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 182d6 + 13 ⇒ (6, 3) + 13 = 22

"Grahhh.. blub blub.."

"We need to pull Spenser to the surface, or to me. He will drown quickly unconscious." implores looking worriedly at the cavalier forward, ignoring his own plight for now.

I can do a clutch heal if need be!

Sele swords feels the drag of the water, and his attacks deal only half the damage, still, it is enough to dispose of the lacedon before him.

Cyan swims through the doorway, on equal footing with the living.
Its dead eyes peer for a target, and the fiery looking man seems least armored.

Bite, height: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
The fangs painfully sink into Vassago's arm.
Fort vs paralysis, GH: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11
Ugh.

Vassago's muscles stiffen, and he too becomes paralyzed.
Duration: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Spenser con vs initial drowning, GH: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 2 = 11 Pass.
Spenser con vs bleeding out, GH: 1d20 + 1 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 1 + 2 - 5 = 13 Pass.
Spenser's body proves durable still, and he stabilizes from his wounds.
Spenser is going to have to make consecutive checks against drowning.
=====================
Currently, holding breath at start of their turn.
Harlis: [Water breathing]
Sele: 14/24
Spenser: [Making checks]
Vassago: 15/24

Lacedon, round 2

Red swims through the door.
1 Harlis, 2 Sele: 1d2 ⇒ 1
Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Harlis' armor protects him from the nasty teeth.

Green swims in to the north, avoiding an aoo from the cover the other lacedon provides.
Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
The teeth find a weak spot in Harlis' arm.
Fort vs disease, GH: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 2 = 22 Pass.
Fort vs paralysis, GH: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 = 18 Pass.

Vassago (paralysis 3)
Spenser (paralysis 4)

With the danger of being overwhelmed Harlis prays to his Goddess silently to save them all from the evil present. Conviction wrought on his face as he hopes he makes the right decision.

Channel to harm DC 16: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 2, 6) = 19

Also he will use his adaptable luck for an additional save +2 to the next three paralyzation saves if needed. Sorry and the DC for the channel is actually 18 from His Heroism domain.

Weird bug turned my post into numerals.

Harlis channels Iomedae's divine favor into a burst of energy.

Cyan, channel resist: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 14
Green, channel resist: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 2 = 17
Red, channel resist: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24

The bodies of Cyan and green gradually deteriorate from the energy, but red pulls through.
Yellow is safe from the channel, since it is on the other side near the ceiling.

Yellow advances, biting at Harlis.
Bite: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
It proves a miss.

Sele

Seeing red is a little damaged from the channel Sele will use smite evil on it and then attack it.

+6 extra damage on first successful attack vs undead

Greatsword: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 212d6 + 19 ⇒ (1, 6) + 19 = 26

Greatsword: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 122d6 + 19 ⇒ (6, 4) + 19 = 29

Sele disposes of red with a horizontal slash, separating the upper torso and head from the lower part.

Vassago's still paralyzed.

Spenser, would you care to roll your con?

I'd do otherwise later tonight. :)

Harlis, do you have a 2nd casting of water breathing, by chance?

Probably, Harlis, why?

No, I would've offered it to the others when we got to the ship and found it submerged. I do have two scrolls of air bubble although. But I still have a ghoul between myself and him and it is looking a couple of rounds minimum to kill it, swim there, pull out scroll and use it. Looks bad.

Constitution check, hope: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 minus whatever

Darn, scrap the 'looks', replace with 'is'. :(

Spenser's unconscious body no longer focuses on holding his breath, and with the relax of a muscle, water finds its way to his lungs.
Spenser loses 1 HP, and will drown next round, unless a miracle happens.
========================

Currently, holding breath at start of their turn.
Harlis: [Water breathing]
Sele: 12/24
Vassago: 14/24 (paralysis 2 rounds)

Lacedon, round 3

Harlis
-------------
Yellow
-------------
Sele

Vassago (paralysis 2)
Spenser (paralysis 3, in need of miracle)

Does the ghoul completely block the doorway? If not, if Harlis delays and the ghoul doesn't take out myself or Sele then Sele could swim into the gap and reposition Spenser to my side then I undelay and pull out the scroll and read it. There are a lot of ifs in there and its very risky. But I don't see another choice?

The lacedon is in the way, yes.
Would scrolls remain intact if submerged like that, btw?

Currently in a handy haversack so they aren't submerged right now.

Harlis sighs as the foul creature blocks the way towards his fellow. "By Iomedae's might be banished." he says reaching forth, hand aglow with healing energies that also serve as a bane against the unliving.

Touch attack with Cure Serious Wounds (previously cast): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22 for 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (3, 8, 8) + 7 = 26 damage (DC17 for half)

Assuming the creature is destroyed then attempt to swim through

Swim: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Harlis plants his hand on the aquatic ghoul's torso...
Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

...a bright glow burns a hole in the ghoul's chest, and its skin flakes off with the thing making gurgling sounds.

With the purging of the last undead, Harlis tries swimming towards Spenser, but the water and his armor once more don't agree to work together.

Combat is over, but poor Spenser drowns at the end of it.

Post combat, holding breath.
Harlis: [Water breathing]
Sele: 12/24
Vassago: 14/24 (paralysis 2 rounds)

"We should retreat to air again to refill your lungs and consider how we should go forward again. We can heal up then." Harlis suggests as he flounders to Spenser then attempts to move himself and his companions back to the stairs and air again.

Since Harlis has waterbreathing for a lot of time still, he'd pull out Spenser eventually.
Sele and Vassago will have to roll for the swimming, though.

Out of combat my take 10s will cover it. Is the whole place on a slant so we can't walk on the ship floor? Also once out Harlis will break out the CLW wand.

3x CLW on Harlis: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 8, 7) + 3 = 23

2x CLW on Vassago: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (2, 6) + 2 = 10

The room you are in, as well as the one the lacedon came from, are indeed on a slant. Which now made me learn a new English word, looking that up. ^^
And indeed, moving about requires swim checks as such. The bottom of the stairs and the row right of it, is not wholly submerged, but are considered terrain & obstacle. Not that it is relevant, current time.

Combat is over, but poor Spenser drowns at the end of it.

Waaaaiiit a minute. Did I just die again? Because if so, and there's no other way to prevent it in time....

folio reroll on Constitution check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 ))))):(

I should really say something here: Technically, that last roll (and the one before it), were intended TO STOP BLEEDING OUT. I did not quite realize I was drowning, and hence never rolled to stop that...which would mean I get separate rolls for that for TWO ROUNDS.

Constitution check to avoid drowning, previous round: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

Constitution check to avoid drowning, this round: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Good call on the folio, but f!ck the dicebot for that. :(

See above edit; I SWEAR I thought I was rolling just to stabilize, otherwise, my second-to-last post would have featured not 1, but 2 Constitution checks.

You stabilized already when you hit the negatives.

Spenser con vs initial drowning, GH: 1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 2 = 11 Pass.

Spenser con vs bleeding out, GH: 1d20 + 1 + 2 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 1 + 2 - 5 = 13 Pass.
Spenser's body proves durable still, and he stabilizes from his wounds.
Spenser is going to have to make consecutive checks against drowning.

You rolled the 2nd check vs drowning, with the result of 9, which was below the DC.

Sele attempts to swim back to get some breathe

Swim: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Swim: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Swim: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Swim: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Not sure of the penalties

So making sure I understand what's going on... so we got attacked savagely, Spenser is likely (and unfortunately) a goner. I need to swim out, but I'm still paralyzed, is that correct?

And if so, can I use a folio reroll on that Paralyze save?

Yes to savagely attacked.
Not confirmed until judged as such by Magabeus.
Yes to paralysis, 2 rounds, last round of combat included.

Sele emerges, sloshing aside the water, as he gets up the stairs, his lunges relieved to be take in fresh air once more.

Vassago has 12/24 left, but let's handwave that, as once successful swim check gets him to the shallow part.

With the team swimming to gather at the door, something is taking positions.

When everyone is ready, Spenser pulls open the door, and peers inside.
Perception Spenser, good hope: 1d20 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 + 2 = 1

Spenser, would you like to use your folio here?
Just asking..
