okay, so you all take the boars out with about 100 plus spears that the ship has and retrieve them all.

You all go into the cave and then you enter a big room. It is filled with wooden tables and chairs and a lit lantern hanging from the ceiling. You are about 500 feet into the cave. There is a path going on straight 12 feet wide and there is another path that veers off the the right and then goes straight that meets up and is 3 feet wide. It is dim, but warm in here. There seems to be writings all over the walls.

"I can't read it, but I've heard of this place. It's some kind of game or test or something. There's a green arena ahead, if we go into it will summon monsters to fight us. We'll be rewarded if we win."

"Sounds like fun!" Allie replies, as she hurries to the edge of the circle.

"Anyone else care to join in?" she says with a wink and a laugh.

"Let's do this!"

"Anyone else? Going once, going twice...."

Allie draws her rapier and dagger, and sets herself to spring into the green area.

Annie follows her captain. "Sure, I like rewards."

"Sold!" Allie cries, as she leaps into the square.

Wait for me

okay with the linguistics, you can read the celestial, which is stuff you know anyway. You find the secret passage, but it is nothing more than a treasure room. which gets added to your total when you level up.

Annie maneuvers around the phantom, putting it between her and the puppy and stabs at it.

waiting on Ondan, Lillian said she'd be absent, so I'll bot her, but, oh Ondan. If you target is already dead, just name a backup target.

Ondan will move around to a hell hound and use his racial ability to cast Hydraulic push.

the southern most phantom is under aflis control, one tries to hit annie, but annie counters for massive damage, the one she just hit and it dies.

the last phantom is still charging. the northern most one better die, or it will do its 6d6 dmg

round 2, heroes are up

Allie somersaults away from the hounds, and moves to the right of the phantom, flanking it with Ondan.

"Protect me, O Phantom," Afli commands.

Then Afli will cast create pitunderneath the two hell hounds. DC 17 reflex save or they fall 20 feet into the pit. DC 25 to climb at half speed to get out.

I suggest, friends, that we don't stand too near the pit. We might just fall in."

Move to top phantom to flank with Ondan.

"Aaah, he's a necromancer!" Annie exclaims. "Cool." She joins Ondan against the last hostile phantom.

Piercing Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 4 = 12

okay so the battle is over and you are all back into the cave. You are back into the room with the tables and chairs. Again there are 2 paths into this cave, one goes straight, the other goes straight and to the right about 15 degrees to the right.

PS. been really tired the past few days and ill. Mentally ill, but there is no medication or cure for phobias and I have some of the strangest ones.

We should take the Right path.

"Too bad we couldn't keep that ghost ship. Then we woulda' had two ships..." Annie follows Ondan.

okay so you come to the end of that path. You see 4 pirates fighting off several Hell Hounds, 4 of them dead, 4 of them to go, they look like they are winning the battle, but somewhat exhausted and they are too busy to notice you. You are all hidden in the dark and would have to step over a 2 foot high rock to get to the battle which is 40 feet away, or use range, so because you are in a narrow path and a 2 foot high rock covers you, you also slightly hidden because of the rock, so with the dark and the rock partial cover you are almost impossible to notice. The battle is lit up however as the crystals in roof of the cave provide light.

Whispering to the others, Afli says "Well, should we wait until the battle is over, or should we help the pirates?"

Do these look like the same pirates as the one on the beach?

"If we help them, they might owe us a favor, or even join our crew. If they turn out to be untrustworthy, we can always feed them to the sharks, right?"

"Maybe. There's a lot more of them on the beach, though. Could be dangerous to approach them.

"We help them kill the hounds, then if they prove dangerous, we kill them and make it look like the were killed by the hounds. If anyone asks, we found them dead - nothing we could do," Allie replies with an indifferent shrug. "Or, I suppose we could just sit here and see who wins...but if the pirates win without our help, our bargaining position will be pretty weak."

"I say we try and help at the very least. But have a backup if things go sour?"

"My thoughts exactly," Allie whispers back, smiling at Lilly.

"If they don't appreciate our timely intervention, we'll hasten them along to their predetermined destination."

She looks to the rest of the group for confirmation.

"Any objections, voice them now. Otherwise, we've got some devil dogs to decimate."

Annie swings her rapier through the air. "I'm ready whenever you guys are."

"Lets bring the winds of death on them"

-Posted with Wayfinder

"All right the, let's move. We'll hit the hounds while our friends have them occupied. Strike fast and hard. These things are nasty," Allie whispers, drawing her rapier and dagger.

"We move on three. One..two..THREE!"

Allie moves from behind the rock and rushes toward the nearest hound, lunging at its rump with her sword.

Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 2 = 31

Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 2 = 25

Damage: 2d6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) + 4 + (3, 2) = 21

Annie follows the captain in, plunging her agile weapon deep into one of the dogs.

Rapier Piercing Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 4 = 14

Temp AC: 18

Ondan will throw the grapple at one of the hellhounds.

Kill it and maybe we can use its body as a weapon!

as Allie and Annie Ambush the dogs, this evens the odds and within 1-2 rounds it is all over. They nearly killed 2 of them out of the 4. And Ondan grapples a Hell Hound. where, did you learn to fight like that? they ask surprisingly and seemingly impressed. They all just lay down to rest.

"The name's Cat, Captain Cat Calico," Allie replies. "How did you find yourselves in a cave, fighting hell hounds?" She gives the pirates a warm, flirtatious smile.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Don't know how we came to fight these, we came here for something and we didn't find what we were looking for. Just trouble and a dead end, thanks for the rescue

"You're welcome," she replies in a sultry tone. "Soooooo, what were you fine lads looking for?"

Hidden passages

anyway. You get back on your ship. You are now asked by Fishguts to go invade, the Devil’s Pallor ship. A group of Chelix hobgoblin and human fighters. pirates where causing trouble and wants you to put a stop to it. Or you can avoid the fight altogether and they won't bother you. You see the ship ahead 2 miles away. What you want to do and how fast you is up to you.

About the pirates you just saved, they have more of them, and you can recruit an unlimited number of them for 50 gold a piece if you want. (I'm just marking the unlimited, because get real, no one is going to recruit 500 of them, but you never know) Your ship is now equipped with 5 cannons, 2 on the port side, 2 on the starboard side, one in front. You have 15 cannon balls total.

Is it a new day? It's important to me, since I could, theoretically, prepare a different set of spells.

"What d'ya say? Shall we dance with the Devil?"

"in the pale moonlight?" she asks with a grin

-Posted with Wayfinder

Do we need more pirates? How many should we have to run the boat?
"Chelix' and hobgoblins. That's gonna be a really fun boat."

"Hoist the colors! Charge the guns! Prepare to fire!"
