Game Master baldwin the merciful

The crocs haven't moved since when you all first saw them...they are floating just below the surface possibly waiting of the proper opportunity to snatch a wounded soul from the land.

The tree hisses out a cone of acid catching Kalim, Tiema, Argrim and Sheyan in the 30 foot cone.

Malcolm the creature hits before you were able to act, you can modify your action. I should have mentioned not to act before the creature's turn.

dex: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4

The center protrusion barky exterior chips slightly from missing Vatilda.

Sorry, I thought the creature acted with its cone, but i see now that was a surprise round. I am assuming, then, that it has reach?

Malcolm takes the damage, but then tries to break free.

STR Check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Reflex DC 20 with evasion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Round 1

Argrim winces in pain as he is unable to evade the acid splash. He moves closer to the tree trying to avoid its lashing tentacles keeping an eye out for the crocs.

RD 1: Grunt

The orc reaches out and grabs Malcolm trying to pull him and assist him in breaking the grab.

CMB: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Grunt has a firm hold on Malcolm as he struggles to aid his warrior foe.

You get +2 on your next attempt to break free.

Don't forget Kalim's attack!

Sheyan rushes up to slash at the creature restricting Teima, attempting to break her out

I have. NO IDEA what I need to roll/do for that

Don't forget Kalim's attack!

I did forget and I did get a good chuckle with your prayer.

Your touch attack hit the tree.

Sheyan there is a ruleset for called shots but I've never used them and I'm not really versed in them.

Just make a normal attack on the creature. Sunder is close but not quite what you are looking for.

Update RD 1 Map

Grunt continues to growl out in furious tones, "Shot it...slash it...give Grunt weapon."

Sheyan brings out his scimitar and brings it down on the appendage holding Teima

Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Sheyan's scimitar hacks at the woody limb that is grabbing his companion.

Teima can try to escape and kio still has his attack, if your going to take it.

Oh I didn't think Kio could reach

Kio growls darkly as Teima yelps out in pain, and he punces on the vegetation

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
Trip (can this thing be tripped?): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Round 1

Vatilda draws mace and swings at the beast. She then tries to back away a few feet to let others within striking distance.

mace vs plant beast: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 move to F,6? or F,7

Kio has to move to attack but he has his whole action. No the tree creature can not be tripped.

Malcolm are you carrying any secondary weapon other than your crossbow that would be visible. Like a dagger, short sword, falchion, short bow that you guys got from any of your raids? I didn't see anything on your character sheet.

Vatilda's mace misses as she steps back.

Karnog draws his hammer and speaks a prayer to Torag.

Now-familiar miniature glowing shields begin orbiting the party (and Grunt).

Use protection ward, everyone gains +2 deflection to AC for 5 rounds

I don't want to channel yet, on account of I'll heal the tree, too!

Oh also, does Teima get any sort of bonus for her check to escape the grapple?

Not unless she has has escape artist. It's a basic CMB vs CMD. Although she could bite the bog creature with a -2 attack.

This plant is not evil by the way, it is true "N".

RD 2 Map

The tree squeezes the paladin's tin can suit harder,

T1: 1d20 + 15 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 15 + 5 = 26;damage, plus constrict: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5;constrict: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

The second tendril releases from it's prey and prepares for other foes.

The plant releases one tendril from Tiema but continues it's attack on with it's other,

T3: 1d20 + 15 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 15 + 5 = 35;damage, plus constrict: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3;constrict: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

The last tendril swings around wanting fresh prey.

The maw bites at kalim,
bite: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22;damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 = 7

The center limb retracts as it shakes out the sting from it's last miss.

I meant possibly a bonus since Sheyan was purposely trying to help break her out. Well here goes

CMB: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 = 22fire damage: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 4, 3) = 19"Do you like fire, plant?"

RD 1: Teima did not break free.

Kalim, (I assume a scorching ray) the spell burns the tree.

Malcolm takes the damage, but then tries to break free, again, while aided.

STR Check: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 = 18

malcolm is still grappled.

Grunt reaches and grabs malcolm bastard sword from his hand and he whacks at the plant.

"Gimme"

magic bastard sword, non-proficient exotic: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 - 4 = 17;damage: 1d10 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11

Slashing a deep wound in the woody limb.

The above action is dependent on if the weapon is given up. I forgot it is bonded and the bonuses would not have applied. It would have still hit but with one less damage.

Round 2

Argrim fails to find an opening toward the tree but sees the orc striking the tentacle holding Malcolm. He jogs behind huge Kalim to get a clear shot of the tentacle holding the wolf.
________________________________________
move to C5-B5-A6
defensively strike tentacle on wolf: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 - 1 = 13
if hit, damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Argrim's attack misses the tree.

There's -4 penalty for shooting in melee if you don't have the precise shot feat. The enemy is medium sized but with 4 tendrils that have reach.

Malcolm grudgingly gives up the sword to Grunt.

Jeez...

Argrim's attack misses the tree.

There's -4 penalty for shooting in melee if you don't have the precise shot feat. The enemy is medium sized but with 4 tendrils that have reach.

Argrim is using his battleaxe like Grunt trying to attack the grappling tentacle of the wolf

Round 2

Vatilda stows her mace, and aims her scarred palm at the plant beast. With a mad yell she fires off a dark bolt.

1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 4 = 15
1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Karnog reaches out to touch Malcolm, fingers glowing with holy white light.

1d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 CLW

Ok...its still a miss. You post mentioned "...to get a clear shot of the tentacle holding the wolf. " I read shot to mean an arrow. NP
