Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Berosius touches Harrow says "May Milani grant that you remain in the fight, Harrows."

Cure light wounds on Harrow: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 Nice!

Then the halfling retreats away from the crabs.

The door is on the south side of the barge cabin--directly above Lumnessa. It was either 1) have them tear into Tan'ia who happens to be tied up with other concerns right now, or 2) have them go after you guys.

OK so where I moved works then? I didn't see the door at first so I wasn't sure how to get out. Lumnesa crawls out and shoots her fire an the two empty squares.

Yeah, you're good. The doors swing--like saloon doors. :-)

Crab Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Several of the crabs at the fringes of the swarm sizzle (and would make for good eatin'), but most are intact and unharmed.

Harrow is up!

Battle Map

Harrow does not seem to notice the dozens of crab bites that have caused blood to trickle down his skin, but has dealt with enough swarms to know he should get out of there.

He moves to the other side of the cabin and throws the vial of acid he had retrieved previously.

"Harrow try not to get two much acid on dinner...enough acid to fry them up, but not two much it taste yucky!"

ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 141d6 ⇒ 1
miss direction, if needed: 1d8 ⇒ 5

You're moving, and throwing, through walls at that location. I've taken the liberty of moving you elsewhere so you can throw at the far corner of the swarm and not hurt anyone else.
____________________________________________________________

Harrow tosses his flask. He throws it quite hard and it smashes more into the wall of the cabin--though the swarm takes splash damage.
____________________________________________________________

Tan'ia delays.
____________________________________________________________

The swarm moves onto the smallest party member. Swarm damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12 (Ouch!) And she takes 12 HP of damage.
____________________________________________________________

Tan'ia comes out of delay and casts CLW on Lumnessa CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Doh! Harrow would try something like that!

Doh! Harrow would try something like that!

:-)

Also, shouldn't Lumnessa have 14 HP at level 2? :-) Your summary currently states that she has 8 out of 8 HP.

GM E, how did you do those labels on the map? They're gorgeous, or at least much better looking than what I've been doing on my maps. Please spill the details (perhaps in Discussion)!

EEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeee....... The little gnomes voice goes quiet as the crustaceans swarm over her tiny form.
Updated hp, sorry about that. I'm still unconscious but at least I'm not dying

Berosius rushes forward and pulls Lumnessa bodily from the crab swarm.

Not sure if a roll is required.

No roll required if she's willing.

I'm at TotalCon in Mansfield this weekend. (Limited posting, sorry.)

Enjoy your stay!

Once Berosius has pulled Lumnessa from the swarm, Harrow throws a second vial of acid at the crabs.

ranged touch: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 111d6 ⇒ 4

miss direction, if needed: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Harrow's vial splashes the crabs:

Tan'ia was also at TotalCon. May be a delay before she can respond.

Tan'ia heals Lumnessa again: CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10 (Nice!)

Then she moves out of the way of the swarm.
____________________________________________________________

The swarm moves to follow Tan'ia, but finds Harrow: Damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

And the Cavalier takes 7 HP of damage! (That he doesn't feel...)

The ship's crew awakens, roused by the sounds of combat. They each toss one acid flask at the swarm:
Ranged Touch: 1d20 ⇒ 1, splash for 1 HP
Ranged Touch: 1d20 ⇒ 11, splash for 1 HP (Oy!)

Lumnessa is unconscious, right? Just a stabilize check?

Nope healed up to 8/14 thanks to Tan'ia
Sitting up the Lumnessa sends another sheet of fire rolling over the crabs.
Burning Hands: 3d4 ⇒ (1, 4, 3) = 8 DC 17 for half

Reflex: 1d20 ⇒ 20 ... Somehow, the entire crab swarm does their best "Keanu Reeves as Neo from The Matrix" impression. They only take half damage from the waves of heat that wash over them. Several look almost ready to eat! Almost... But most look unharmed and still hungry.

Berosius heals the gnome further while Harrow damages the swarm a little more...
____________________________________________________________

Tan'ia unleashes burning hands (from her Fire Domain) on the swarm. Fire Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6, Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17, The crabs save again! (Yikes! Apparently, these super-crabs are genetically modified organisms with cybernetic implants!)
____________________________________________________________

The swarm attacks Harrow again: Nibble, nibble, nibble: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6 (Yikes! Harrow is now down a total of 13 HP!)

The crew tosses more acid flasks:
Ranged Touch: 1d20 ⇒ 5, splash for 1 HP

How did I get way over by Tan'ia?

HARROW! NOOOOOOOO! she lets loose with another sheet of flame hoping she can just burn them enough to have them run away.
Burning Hands
Damage: 3d4 ⇒ (1, 4, 1) = 6 DC 17 Reflex

Whoops! Looks like there was an errant drag-n-drop! Moved ya back. :-)

The gnome screams and then lets loose her emotions with a wave of fiery release!

Berosius, then Harrow!

"Nobody," says the halfling, sudddenly serious, "dies on my watch!"

He walks into the swarm of crabs, lays his hands on Harrow and says "Keep fighting!"

Cure light wounds on Harrow: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

"Nobody," says the halfling, sudddenly serious, "dies on my watch!"

He walks into the swarm of crabs, lays his hands on Harrow and says "Keep fighting!"

Cure light wounds on Harrow

NICE! :-D

The halfling bravely sacrifices his own safety to see to his companion!

Harrow, then Tan'ia!!!

Having already thrown all three of his acid flasks, Harrow withdraws from the swarm.

"Harrow no like food crawling on him!"

I'm here now, I can post. I just didn't have a chance to post at work today.

Cool. Tan'ia, you're up!

Oh, and thanks for the heal, fellow half-ling!

Since the swarm still has a bunch of HP, I'll go ahead and post its action while we wait for Tan'ia.
____________________________________________________________

The swarm begins to feed on Berosius: Halfling tastes good!: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10 ... Ouch! :-(
____________________________________________________________

The ship's crew attack again!
Ranged Touch: 1d20 ⇒ 12, splash for 1 HP
Ranged Touch: 1d20 ⇒ 8, splash for 1 HP

Over half the swarm is gone, but enough remain to be dangerous!

Battle Map

Tan'ia will cast Fire Bolt: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
I think DC is 14 for half

That won't harm the swarm since Fire Bolt has an individual target... Would you like to take a different action?

BAT SHELLY THINGS! YOU ARE VERY MEAN! Lumnessa cries as she backs away from the mass of crabs. Unable to find a good point to burn the crabs she rips a small hole in the fabric of reality creating a cold, black void in the midst of the swarm.
Black Motes
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 cold damage DC 16 reflex negates

1d20 ⇒ 5 The swarm takes more damage!

The ship's crew attack again. They aim for the corner so that Berosius takes no damage!
Ranged Touch: 1d20 ⇒ 2, splash for 1 HP
Ranged Touch: 1d20 ⇒ 16, splash for 1 HP

I already used all 3 of my acid flasks...this is one tough swarm! Any other ideas for damaging it without more flasks?

Yeah, it is tough! But, you're almost there! :-) Only eight more HP to go: Crab Swarm Stats

Party members scatter. The ship's crew attack again.
Ranged Touch: 1d20 ⇒ 20, FINALLY!, 1d6 ⇒ 5
Ranged Touch: 1d20 ⇒ 1, splash for 1 HP

And the swarm is wiped out! Whew!
____________________________________________________________

Thankfully, the remainder of the day passes uneventfully. You are all free to heal up, etc. The captain will sell you his remaining flasks at cost. (1d4 ⇒ 4) He has 4 flasks of acid available. Would anyone like to make a purchase?

A day later on the water, just as night begins to fall, the captain starts to panic. Sea hag! Hard to port! Hard to port!

Lumnessa is up first!!! The hag is in the water, 80 feet away from the boat.

Well that wasn't very pleasant.

Sorry. We had drama today I wasn't able to post during the day.

No prob, Tan'ia. Thanks for the email. Take your time and I hope you're doing ok. :-)

Sorry to hurry up to the next combat, guys. After this one, it's mostly RP for a while. This next combat, with the hag, takes place just after sundown the day AFTER your combat with the swarm. You're all healed and have all your spells, etc.

No problem. I'm ready to go. Wait did you say Hag!?!

Yep! Sea Hag. In this post.

The hag is in the water, 80 feet away from the boat.

Yeah that part wasn't there when I first read the post. It must have been hiding :)

OOOOOOoooo! Whats a Sea Hag? Are they friendly? Lumnessa scurries to the front of the boat and waves at the sea hag, smiling brightly. Hello! My name is Lumnessa What is yours!?!
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

ROFLMAO! :-D

The captain and ship's mate guide the ship as fast as they can away from the hag. But, they know she can travel much faster than they. The barge turns on a dime and moves 40 feet. The hag is now 120 feet dead astern.

Lumnessa says, "Hello!"

Captain Walren says, "Help us! Grab a paddle and row, or something! We'll never survive a hag on open water!"

Berosius us up! Then, the hag...

Harrow complies with the request to assist in paddling and grabs a row, using all his strength with the effort.

"I not think look friendly, nome, since sea hag have look on face that say wants to eat nome for dinner!"

str check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

If I should be throwing javelins or something, let me know...otherwise I'll help with rowing!
