Rogue scouts alone = some "big bad monster" almost kills her.
Dwarf = me saves the day
paladin and noble rogue have secret moments together.

Nah, I deleted mine :)
Hey, Areo! Look, shinies!! *points away from the river*
Now.. just how big is this coracle boat.. from what the internets has shown me they seem to be one-two man crafts. But it means that they at least can build a boat. (Oh let it please be a crew shell)
If you thought a sextant joke was bad.. just wait until the rowing talk starts.
Going to return it right? After you are done "borrowing" it?
Did someone say shinies? *dang rogues picking on the guy with no sense motive*
Funny part is... Aerodus has almost NO reason to even think anyone is a rogue...
Now picking up detect rogue...
i want to invent a new game. Ingenious ways to piss off unstable NPC's. Must stay in character. 10 points if you incite physical altercation, 5 points for verbal, and only 1 point if someone is able to keep the altercation from happening. Who's in? lol.

Something tells me tony and Shisa have already won

Take lessons boys.. let me show you how it's done. :)
Why do I have a sudden dread about what is in that spoiler?
Starts memorizing pages for loss of paladinhood: causes and remedies. What you should do is drag Marik into the fun.
Ahh heck Ill bite on the boat, too good an opportunity to pass up.
Ah yes.. I can see Gelik now.. scribbling frantically..
Through jungle vine they wove
In search of yonder's treasure trove
A rag-tag group of castaways
Following one of knightly ways
They came upon a fearsome beast
Oh, on the glory they would feast
Slithering, slithering scales a gleaming
upon the river, sunlight streaming
Fierce beast of mortal fright
Set to challenge the young knight
With battle cry upon his lips
and poison dripping from fang tips
The group the battle joined
In hopes of treasure to purloin
Flashing swords, striking down
And fangs a flashing all around
For a time the battle waged
Of mice or men, yet will be gauged
Till finally the beast's time now pass
Yon dead snake laid on the grass
A mighty roar our knight did yell
For years and years, the tale he'll tell
Once across the river's moat
The group could borrow a dingy boat.
Nominated to write the campaign journal in prose
SECONDED
Ha!
I'm a rouge not a bard.. which is obvious from my past attempt at singing and weaving tales ;) I'd starve to death in a week.
I'll leave the barding to Gelik. Besides.. I'm a sneaky thief. Shhhh don't tell Aerodus.. you know how he gets about borrowing..
Well.. looks like Tony's swimming with the snake. Aero gets to return the lip lock of life kraken summoning ritual thing favor.. or go swimming with him.. heh.
Don't worry Aerodus has a plan of action in mind.. dang armor removal rules. 5 rounds with assistance or jump in with a- 7 penalty....
Decisions decisions ...
I will say that its always interesting what will happen next
Luck on the swim roll.. providing Tony's still bubbling when I get there..
Hang on Tony.. If I got soaked for nothing, I'm going to thwap you :)
I can just imagine everyone on the shore looking at each other and shruging. "I can't swim, can you swim?" "Nope, how about you?" "Nope." "Me neither." "Well looks like we walk..."
Can't we get a new rogue from the store? I blame the druid for not charmng animal.
And I think its your turn tony to make those drown checks.
Oh yea.. splint mail swimmin!

I'm liking the look of the rescue so far! Nice to see both Marik and Aerodus making use of their Trait bonuses too!
A bit of additional info:
I'll need a DC 10 Constitution check from Tony this round to see if he starts to drown (the DC goes up by 1 per. round, but let's hope it doesn't come to that).
Shisa's actions are essentially drop stuff (free actions), retrieve a stored item (move action), then it's off into the water, so it's not going to take her as long as she assumed. (I see no reason why the rogue would have stashed her grapple and rope in a particularly hard to get to place or hard to deploy state, so the one move action is plenty to pull it out, uncoil the rope , and hook it to herself as she leaps in the water... it's almost as if she knows what she's doing!).
Heh, Aerodus, I hope you don't slice and dice Aerys with that longsword.. ok, I lie, but I'm a rogue, I'm allowed to.. :)
Aerodus' mighty (underwater) swing cleaves.. Aerys..
Shhh.. I'll slip you the 200 gold later ;)
Heh, Aerodus, I hope you don't slice and dice Aerys with that longsword since her and that snake are all wrapped up together.. ok, I lie - it'd be ok, but I'm a rogue, I'm allowed to lie.. :)

You're going to be waiting a LOOOOONNNGGG time for the paladin to surface.. something tells me the jumping in with heavy armor =/= the wisest of decisions.
Then again... why do paladins need wise decisions.. I have zealous faith! <insert WH40k "For the Emperor>
I dont suppose I could be 'flanking' while underwater eh?
**list of things to buy... dagger*

See, that's why I prefer Infinity over 40k.. It lets me swim in light armor heh.
Need a dagger? I have one, I can throw it at..er.. to you ;)
(Ok, so that sounded more like a witch elf..)
Hmm I thought it was calm water and you would just be sinking... either way its a trick by the witch elf to get.everyone killed getting to her 'imagnary elf boat' that only she can see.

Nope.. deep / fast moving was the original description, hence my words to Mundin to pull if the rope ventured too far downstream :)
Oddly enough.. Shisa's secondary 'preferred' class is a sorceress.. Hrm, oh the possibilities..
land and dwarf = good, water and dwarf = bad. simple rules to live by, as told to drowning companions by Mundin IronHand
Not just drowning... at so far an avg of 12 dmg a round... we will prob be dying soon. Blasted witch elf magic! Lured the snake here with her siren song.
You know Tony... a real swashbuckler would swing ONTO the snake for massive damage...

Ah, but a witch elf with a snake cult doesn't top a paladin and his kraken cult.. you still lead in the evil, wicked, mean and nasty club. :)
However.. if we work together.. you get the beach.. i get inland.. and we'll rule the island! *evil witch elf cackle*
Now if Marik's little lizard friend likes snake..
By the way Marik, AWESOME JOB! With the fishing, colorspray+ fish+ net = better than create food.

Today's lesson: the grappled condition!
If you have the grappled condition (i.e. if you are being grappled, or are grappling someone else) then you can't make Attacks of Opportunity. If you can't make Attacks of Opportunity, then you don't threaten anything. If you don't threaten anything, then you can't flank. So... no using Aerodus for Flanking whilst he's grappled.
The grappled condition doesn't deny you your Dexterity bonus to AC, it just gives you a flat -4 penalty to Dexterity. Neither does it render you Flat-Footed (for that you want the pinned condition). Therefore you can't automatically get Sneak Attack damage to someone just because they're grappled or are grappling. So... Tony doesn't get to Sneak Attack the snake just 'cos it's crushing the paladin to death...
By the way, a swordbreaker dagger is a slashing weapon, so it's -2 to-hit and half damage underwater, just like Aerodus's longsword (and Sasha's kukri for that matter). Just one of the many reasons why the run-of-the-mill standard-issue dagger should be the first purchase for any serious adventurer. (This public service anouncement is sponsored by Sven's Dagger Emporium - Sven's, for all your stabbing needs!) ;p
(No reason why Tony and Shisa can't flank the thing between them though, assuming they keep making successful Swim checks in each round they attempt to do so).
Here endeth the lesson. All hail the mighty kraken!
Hmmm alright.. I was just seeing that I am denied movement and any ability that requires two hands. Was worth a shot.
Btw I lovethe snake fishing with paladin bait
Edit: yep just saw it p567... grapple = no aoo. My bad!
Oh man plate of the deep is looking better and better or... freedom of movement..
Poor aerodus is goingto hate water after this

Just to link that last DM post (/rant) with the last couple of posted actions (Shisa and Tony): Shisa's attempting to grapple the snake, which is fine (it gets no AoO right now), but will need a CMB check (at -2 for being underwater) to succeed. She'll also need her Swim check for this round. Tony gets no flank bonus ('cos Shisa's grappling, not threatening the thing with a weapon), and a -2 for using a slashing weapon underwater, and therefore misses. He also needs his Swim check for the round.
Gosh, water is so much fun! :)
Paladin SMASH PUNY WATER!
i am laughing everytime i read this and thinking, wow its soemtimes nice to sit back at watch these thign sinstead of starting them.

Don't blame me.. Tony started this one.. I tried to warn y'all.. Won't say I told ya so.. but.. :)
You could have just not mentioned the boat!!

What, and walk? You know how hard walking through this stuff is on my feet with my soft-soled boots? Besides.. it gave you another chance to go swimming. Not MY fault you chose to do it fully armored ;)
I am so haunting you.
I am so haunting you.
Hey now.. I tried to save you.. not my fault you slipped out of my grasp (maybe..DM dependent on whether I missed totally or only snagged your sinking hide). *Gives innocent look complete with fluttering eyelashes*
hrm.. but think of the boon you'll owe me if I DID manage to save your hide.. *evilgrin*
I was passed out, must've been the OTHER SHORT RAVEN HAIRED half elf that saved me.

Mine's long thank you very much ;)
or um.. would you rather owe the psycho wench a boon? Oh, that would be soooo hilarious!
I wonder.. just how much of this thread is our random banter...

I'd agree with Marik, but you know.. that's half of what makes our group so much fun. The half-in/out-of-character banter. :)
Feel free to join in the water is fine.. (and full of snakes :[)
Blast it! I guess I was thinking of the 3.5 rule, where you were flat footed to anyone outside the grapple.
And that sword breaker dagger illo has a point on it!
