Plunder & Infamy - A Skulls & Shackles PbP Adventure

Game Master DancingShadow

As far as I know we got nothing for underwater. Those type of magic items or equipment would need a town to get which we have not been to sense we started the AP.

As for spells, Aoro does not have any of those kind.

Nope

That's just . . . crap. :(

Alright, you're just going to have to improvise. If the sorcerer had widen spell I would be less nervous. Oh well. INTO THE DRINK!

The water under the island was reefed by coral. There was a beautiful diversity of life. You all have (2xCon) rounds before you drown. It will take probably two or three dives to get into the Grindylow caves. The first two or so to find them.

Roll for Perception, everyone! :)

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Ro's Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Aoro's Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Gm, got an error following the map link. Could you try posting that again? Many thanks

That wasn't a map. it was an image of a coral reef. :)

Sunny takes to the water like....well and Elf to water. XD

Perception:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Swim Check:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24

Amazing, you all found it.

Spend another round to get a gulp full of air. Your entering the cave at high tide.

Map to Riptide Cave.

I have one spell that will place a bubble of air around one's head for breathing. It should probably go to our worst swimmer.

"I am fine, seem to have found my sea legs at last. Anyone else?"

Aoro has a swim speed now. >:)

"I be fine." Suny replies while happily splashing about in the surf. (^_^)

[b]"Thank you, Mr. Torque, but I should be fine."[b]

Swim of +6, in armor.

*Splishen', splashen', frolic, frolic.*. (^_^)

Torgue will wait until they get to a place where it appears that they will really have need of his spell.

Marching order?Or swimming order, anyway...?

*Shrug* Every one's got different speeds, anywho...

Aoro will be in the middle towards the back. ;)

:P

Torgue will be up front then.

Sunny be happy ta' help lead tha' way as well. (^_^)

Tark will follow Torque and Sunny.

As you move towards the neck (D2), you see four grindys that are just watching for you with boldness. The grindys make a call out in sonar and are ready to attack!

(note: the Grindys are a bit more agile in the water and so they have a +2 maneuver bonus. )

Map?
Do you roll Initiative or do we?

we all roll initiative. the map's been posted.

Grindys initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Initiative:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

*raises hand* Where tha' map been posted?

Initiative:1d20+3

*raises hand* Where tha' map been posted?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ffzxrijjgnjjh7i/Riptide%20Cove.jpg

Okeys.....thank'e! (^_^)

init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
what if any underwater rules are we going by?

GM's linked map

Cerulean seas.

I think I lost a post...
Init: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

So: Tarchinis
Grindylows
Aoro
Gene
Torque
Sunny

GM, can Tark reach a Grindy with a single move action?

Is there breathable air above this section?

To metagame ever so slightly - would it make everyone's life easier if Tark delayed until after the Grindys, so as to make a 'them then us' round?

The grindies aren't under Mook rules, just so you know.

Checking the map, yes, there is breathable air during high tide.

Based on where you are on the map (they don't make room for wriggle room), Tark can reach one in one move action.

I say let them come to us, so we can strike and not risk getting surrounded.

Suny 'floats' within the confines of the tunnel, letting her companions catch up to herself even as she draws her sword and awaits the Grindly-diddlies attack.

Tarchinis will ready an action to attack with a dagger when a target enters melee range.

Swim: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Attack without successful swim check: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 - 2 = 7

oh, that looks like a miss.

Torgue grips his falchion and growls at the Grindys, daring them to come closer.

The four grindies advance by shooting water out a nozzle like an octopus. One, starts to grapple with Tarchinus! grapple: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Aoro sends a trio of silver fish at three of the four grindylows nearest him.

Magic Missile vs Grindylows: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 21d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 51d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Edit-One dead already, 3 left of which two are wounded. ;)

Gene pulls the trigger on the closest fresh Grindylow.

to hit: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20damage: 1d12 ⇒ 7

Bang! You killed it.

Torgue hacks at one that gets within range.

Falchin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 182d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3) + 3 = 10

Do the Grindys have improved grapple or anyhting else that lets them grapple without an AoO? If not:

swim check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Attack of opp. with succesful swim check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Normal damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Crit damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

I think gene already killed yours. but we will say that you've got a time window to head into the grotto before the blood inevitably attracts some hungry bull sharks. All four grindies are dead.

So any loot? Or we moving in?

Swim Check:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27

Sunny slowly paddles forwards as the Grindlies sink and are examined by the others.

She keeps an eye out forward for any more surprises.

Perception:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
