Ongoing PFS campaign. (Inactive)

Game Master Chyrone

Seeing the other two, Vassago churns water into a larger form, nearly 6 feet in length. "But mine is bigger, no?", he says with a wink.

After the boys conclude their comparing games, nothing happened at the door.

Thus, the team cautiously opens it.....oh dear....

Closing the door quickly, then opening it again, nothing is there now, but an empty room overgrown with crustacians and coral.
------
After opening the other door..

This room is completely submerged and devoid of anything of value or interest. Its only defining feature is a hole in the center of the floor.

During the trip outwards and back Harlis pulled out his wand to patch the injuries of the ghouls and look for diseases from them swimming. Returning he enchanted himself with Heroism to help his swimming again as the Good Hope was long expired. The casting a detect magic cantrip to examine the area as they proceed.

CLW Vassago: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
CLW Harlis: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (4, 5) + 2 = 11
CLW Sele: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

"Thankyou Harlis.. I needed that."

Pushing this forward.

The team descends down the hole, ending upon the floor of another sunken ship, upon which the former had collided.

Around you is a wide display of weapons, but all in such a rusted and some partially overgrown with coral, that none of them are of any use anymore.

Vassago, with his darkvision, is first to spot -the other- visitors to the ship.
Two green skinned, scaled, humanoids armed tridents, and two big sharks.

Skum: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Sharks: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
[/spoiler

The scavengers, round 1

Sharks
The sharks advance upon the party with sharp teeth and bloodlust.
Blue shark vs Sele: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 Gnawing: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Green shark vs Spenser: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 Gnawing: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Both the sharks sink their teeth into the heavily armored pathfinders, causing some nasty bite wounds.

Harlis

Seeing as I didn't get an action I want to have activated my divine bond on my sword "before i got to this new room" to make it flaming, lasts for 1 minute per level. This place is dangerous and i'd like a bit extra."

Sele hits the shark in return with a full attack.. maybe

Greatsword PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 262d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 1) + 13 + (4) = 22

Greatsword PA 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 242d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 3) + 13 + (4) = 25

Greatsword PA 2 crit confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 112d6 + 13 ⇒ (6, 3) + 13 = 22

Vassago 5' swims over alongside Sele and channels a powerful thrust of water towards its mark!

Gather Power to empower the blast

Empowered Kinetic Blast @ Blue Shark: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Damage on hit: 3d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 4, 6) + 7 = 18 +50%

Spenser spews a swarm of very strangely-accented bubbles as he assails the shark with his fine lance!

masterwork lance, Power Attack vs blue: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

masterwork lance, Power Attack vs blue: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14

How did Spenser's post not update the thread for me..

Sele strikes out at the shark, dealing 23 dmg, which Vassago follows up with his own blade.
By poseidon's beard, it was close, but a miss.

Spenser takes some distance, provoking an aoo.
Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 Gnaw gnaw: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Which is a miss.
His lance goes through the water, but doesn't connect with the shark.
------------
Skum
Cyan points his comrade at the duo of pathfinders on the top, and both advance.
As they arrive, they look menacingly at Sele and Spenser.
Cyan intimidate vs Sele: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
Green intimidate vs Spenser: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Cyan had expected this tactic to work, but Sele is unfazed.
Green's attempt wasn't particularly good to start with, either.
-------------
Harlis

Harlis holds his blade aloft. "More foes! Iomedae aid them for they are just!" he calls to inspire the small band of Pathfinders.

Using Iomedae's inspiring sword to grant all allies +2 sacred bonus to Attacks, Saves and Skills for the next two rounds.

The team feels bolstered by Harlis' call for aid, and they fight with extra vigor.

Buffs? Yes we like buffs!
============================

The scavengers, round 2

The sharks continue their bitings against the pathfinders.
Blue bite vs Sele: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 Miss.

Green moves 5ft closer to Harlis & Spenser.
Green bite vs Spenser: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 Miss.
The sharks lack not in bloodlust, but they do in accuracy after their initial assault.

Harlis

Of note, guys. The red marked area, the darker grey squares, are blocked off. This due to the upper ship having crashed into that portion of the lower ship.

Sir Spenser Quixote doesn't let such a trifling thing as an odd angle stop the righteous ire of his lance!

Since I'm trying to fight with a reach weapon, but am hemmed up against blocked terrain, I am attacking green's further square (I can do that, right?):
masterwork lance, Power Attack, Iomedae's inspiring sword: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16

masterwork lance, Power Attack, Iomedae's inspiring sword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

I don't know if you can, i'll ask.

Sorry Spenser, it's as i thought it would be.
The shark being adjacent prevents you from using the lance against it.

Fine, then. I delay until Harlis can get out of my way.

You've your sword, don't you?

Isn't it severely hampered underwater? And wouldn't I need to be screwed out of a full attack this round if I swapped weapons?

Less hampered than a lance. You could drop the lance (free) draw the sword (move) and regular attack, full attack next round again.
I'm just thinking out loud here, of course.

Vassago creates more water buffer and tries again. "Here comes the pain, tu cucarachas!"

Empowered Kinetic blade again!

Empowered Kinetic Blade @ Shark: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 = 17
Damage on hit: 3d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2, 4) + 7 = 14 +50%

/facepalm

Didn't Sele hit twice for 22 and 25 damage.. ac 24?

Less hampered than a lance. You could drop the lance (free) draw the sword (move) and regular attack, full attack next round again.

That's what I thought. I'd rather delay until Harlis can move, so I can 5-foot step and make a full attack, with my lance, this round, against a different target.

Sele will chop blue again and again hopefully.. "Blub blub blub."

Greatsword PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 292d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 1) + 13 + (3) = 18

Greatsword PA 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 92d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 1) + 13 + (5) = 24

Greatsword PA crit confirm: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 272d6 + 13 ⇒ (6, 3) + 13 = 22

I stand by my decision: Delay until Harlis can move a bit, even if I can't make a '5-foot step'.

Spenser delays, waiting for Harlis to act.
In the meantime, Vassago makes another swing at the shark, but it misses again.

Sele's sword on the other hand..... it removes part of the shark's upper head, leaving the nose and eyes part floating upwards.
Shark down!.
-----------------
Skum
Both descend 5ft and attack Vassago.
Trident, height: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 = 21 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Claw, height: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Bite, height: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Trident, height: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 27 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Crit?: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 = 8 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 Safe.
Claw, height: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 1 = 11 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Bite, height: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Vassago gets prodded with tridents, and narrowly avoids one claw scraping his head.
-------------------
Harlis & Spenser

Seeing Vassago being assaulted and Spenser making head motions towards him Harlis swims over behind the fight while holding up his shield and hoping the sharks bite will not land. Upon reaching safety behind his other two companions he invokes a simple healing spell upon the mauled kineticist.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Hungry shark AoO: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
The shark manages to bite Harlis in the arm, after which he ends behind Vassago to heal him.

Spenser

Sir Spenser takes a mighty jab at the aptly-named Skum....

masterwork lance, Power Attack, Iomedae's inspiring sword vs red: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
COWABUNGA, critical threat!: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
damage: 2d8 + 24 ⇒ (8, 8) + 24 = 40 +18 = 58

I don't think I can make a full attack, but if I can (and it even still matters):
masterwork lance, Power Attack, Iomedae's inspiring sword vs red: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

Fit for an action flick, sir Spenser thrusts his lance through the water, the tip into the torso, skewering a lung and the heart, before protruding from the other side.

The skum, eyes wide open in surprise and agony, makes a few spasm, before it utterly dies.

Kratos would be proud.
==================================

The scavengers, round 3

Sharky bites at Spenser.
Chomp: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 Gnaw gnaw: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Spenser feels a bit cold, part of his costume's flank is sticking between the shark's teeth.
-------------------
Sele & Vassago
-------------------
Skum
-------------------
Harlis & Spenser

Vassago hopes third time is the charm and tries to bash the aqueous humanoid with a water pummeling!

Empowered Kinetic Blade @ Teal skum?: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 2 = 12
Damage on hit: 3d6 + 7 ⇒ (6, 1, 1) + 7 = 15 +50%

But no... no it is not.

Sele now turns and lashes out at the other shark with a full attack

Greatsword PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 262d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 13 + (3) = 20

Greatsword PA 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 192d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 3) + 13 + (5) = 27

Vassago might be thinking the skum have some feminine features, having troubles hitting women in the past already.

Sele is having nothing of it, and proceeds to hack into more shark.
While his 2nd swing would normally miss, Iomedae's blessing causes his strike to be fair enough to hurt the carnivorous fish.
23 dmg to the shark.

The remaining skum is none too pleased with its comrade's demise, yet nonetheless keeps assaulting il Don Juan of the party.

Trident, height: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 = 18 Dmg: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Claw, height: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 1 = 12 Dmg: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Bite, height: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 = 22 Dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
The trident is a close call, and the claw doesn't come even close, but the skum bends forward after that one, and bites Vassago in the shoulder.
---------------------
Harlis & Spenser

Spenser steers his stabber over Sele's shoulder to skewer the skum....

masterwork lance, Power Attack, Iomedae's inspiring sword vs cyan: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
HERE WE GO AGAIN!: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
damage: 2d8 + 24 ⇒ (1, 6) + 24 = 31 +17 = 48

masterwork lance, Power Attack, Iomedae's inspiring sword vs cyan: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
damage: 1d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

Harlis again brandishes his blade. "May you strike with the fury of the righteous!" He calls again upon his goddess.

Renewing the Inspiring sword for another two rounds.

Indeed there it goes again.

Spenser's qauired a taste for the brutal fatalities, as he skewers the next skum's head right off, as the spear's top comes in with precise force.

You be cleaning the brains off your spear now, my friend. :D
Harlis renews the blessings on his blade.
======================

The sacevngers, final round?

The shark bites again at Spenser.
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
The bite is most vicious, and Spenser grits his teeth in pain.
--------------
Sele & Vassago
Harlis & Spenser

"Prrbbbhtthgghh, bllllrrrmm!" Spenser bubbles out, gesturing toward Harlis and Sele.

Sele gives Spenser the thumbs up and attacks the shark again

Greatsword PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 152d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 13 + (5) = 25

Greatsword PA 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 172d6 + 13 ⇒ (6, 5) + 13 = 24

Yes, well, here's hoping Harlis takes that hint a bit better - speaking of which, Sele, have you been taking Harlis's "Inspiring Sword" into account? It should be cancelling out your Power Attack penalty, among other things.

I think he does. +12 on regular attack, -2 underwater, -2 PA, +2 inspiring sword.

I have not been counting Harlis bonus, as it was only stated once somewhere. I have a +12 to hit as standard and then -2 due to PA

Vassago floats over to the less feminine shark and tries once more to actually contribute to combat!

Empowered Kinetic Blade @ shark: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 = 18
Damage on hit: 3d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 6, 1) + 7 = 17 +50%

Harlis stops to utter a short prayer again to Iomedae before swimming ahead and touching Spenser with a simple healing spell hoping the creature would fall before testing his choice.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Don't forget; I, too, am a Fey Foundling!

Both Sele and Vassago's attack miss, as the water slows their momentum.
Iomedae's energy enters Harlis' hand, and the healing gift is delivered to Spenser, healing for 13.
===========================

The scavengers, round 4

Shark (-23)
Bite vs Spenser: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
CHOMP

The healing is almost negated by the powerful jaws.
------------------
Sele & Vassago
Harlis & Spenser

"THis is ridiculous, this stupid shark is costing us valuable time and healing energies.!!"

Sele attacks the shark again, trying to finish it off

Greatsword PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 182d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 3) + 13 + (6) = 24

Greatsword PA 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 72d6 + 13 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 13 + (4) = 23

Sharky bites the water bubbles, as Sele lands his sword in the shark's frontal lobe.

Combat over!!

Looking over the group in the dreary environment of a sunken and blood filled boat. "Time to break out the wands of curing, I best hold my remaining spells as we haven't reached our target yet." Harlis suggests.

Wand of CLW on self: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (8, 4) + 2 = 14

Harlis's cure light wounds wand, Fey Foundling: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Harlis's cure light wounds wand, Fey Foundling: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Harlis's cure light wounds wand, Fey Foundling: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Harlis's cure light wounds wand, Fey Foundling: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Harlis's cure light wounds wand, Fey Foundling: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

That's 5 charges to restore me from 13 to 46 - unless Sele wants to help (Vassago's should be reserved for an emergency)?

Sele and Vassago are still injured. Does the wand have some more charges?

Sele has his own wand

clw wand : 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Ok, on to the final battle.
(Vassago's still at 19/45)

Aside from the rusted items, nothing of interest is down in this hold.
A staircase in the far west is the only point of interest.

Any preps you want to do?
