Looks good just if we keep the staggered formation have Natalie in the last spot so if we attacked from the rear the caster isn't immediately in melee.

Once again you stand at a rusted locked iron gate.

Did any of the twine leads get pulled out of place? I will collect them as we go back to the gate

Oro-Tu peers through the gate for anything he can see while Silas deals with the lock.

perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

twine leads, refresh my memory please

I guess we are off to the priest now then.

When the party is ready to leave, Oro-Tu ties a bit of twine across the passageways so that if someone traverses them it will be noticeable due to the fallen string upon their return.

was just referring to the string tripwires I put up to tell if someone had walked past without noticing them. Not designed to trip someone just to fall loose to show someone was there

They are still in place.

"Silas, can you open them?, says Beth, looking around to see it the gates are trapped.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

"Let me have a look."

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Disable Device: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

I suspect yes with that roll

The lock doesn't have a DC as it is badly rusted, but I changed my mind and will give it to you on that Nat 20!

Excellent.

Silas carefully manages to pop the lock and throws the lock away. "That thing won't be relocking. It was blind luck we didn't have to break it down."

"Fine work Silas. Is it safe to enter?"

What's on the other side of the gate?

The stonework in this large chamber differs from the rest of the sewers. Mosaic designs are set into the walls of the room and all sounds in the
chamber produce ghostly echoes from the rock. Empty torch braziers, carved in the shape of skulls with their jaws wide, adorn the walls. A rusted iron gate bars an opening on the west wall of the room.

Is that another rusted iron gate?

Maybe that's just the choice decor around here? Probably inhabited by a rust monster.

No, that is the gate you opened. You should still have the map.

is this the green one with open passage north or the one with three red lines aka gates we need to open?

I think the first one. Anyway it is sewers5.
Go to sewers5..

"More skull decor," Silas muses and starts to slowly test the floor and check for traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

"I think we entered by the back route. Had we come the other way, the Bodak would have been even worse, being behind the iron gate. When you're done, we should go on to the east."

From what I see on the map, we're in the room AK-AO 6-12. So next step in eastwards to the room with north/south greenish stuff.

You detect no traps. That greenish stuff is sewage. You can smell it from here.

Quick rule question, does the sewer part we'll be going into count as water terrain?

"Ok well we can go paddling in that or we could try and get through that bone gate?"

or build a raft haha

Oro-Tu tests the depth of the sewage with a spear, wiping it off afterwards on the Bodak corpse.

"Ok well we can go paddling in that or we could try and get through that bone gate?"

"We need to go paddling I think. The ring should be somewhere there."

"At least we'll be able to afford some new clothes." Wexley pauses, thinking. "Do any of you happen to carry a boat feather token?"

Natalie sets aside the spear and takes out a feather token from one of her packs pockets. "Here ye go matey. I keep a few around for emergencies."

As you test the depths of the sewage Oro-Tu you strike something rather large. Before you can retract your spear it lunges out from the water and attacks!
RoachLord.
Bite: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 322d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 3) + 5 = 12

Also, everyone make a Fort Save [DC 19] vs Nausea as I presume everyone moved up within 30'

The Roachlord is 9 ft. tall and covered in brown
chitinous armor. Two large antennae extend from his
grotesque insectile head. His mouth holds four barbed
mandibles around an open maw. A scrap of a child’s jacket
hangs from one of his mandibles.

Very polluted water, but yes water.

Roll initiative!

I am not sure exactly where everyone is at, but Oro-Tu would have to be there. The orange is the creature:

Oro-Tu roars in pain as the bite digs into his flesh (10 damage after DR)!

Fort save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Glad I was the one testing the waters, thats a big bite :)
Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Also, out of curiosity how much depth did I notice before I ran into the creature? Just wondering if this is more than say waist height, or full height, or deeper?

I need a Fort Save Wexley, I moved you back to get the feather token. It was that or move Natalie up. ok,got it.

The creature is 9' tall and was swimming in the pool. Your spear could not have reached more than a few feet to reach it but the pool seems rather deep. You would guess at least 10'

Fort save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Initiative: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 + 2 = 24
Kn Dungeonering to identify creature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

I will give you it is an aberration, part roach part humanoid on that roll. But it is unique so that is about all you would be able to figure out.

oh yes if it matters, i have know dungeoneering also.
know dungeon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
"Watch out! I will distract it. Water's deep." Oro-Tu calls out as he pulls away from the bite.

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Fortitude: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Silas, you are nauseated by his horrific appearance and the disturbing sounds of his clicking mandibles and the chitinous armor around his joints.

@Oro-Tu Beth barely got anything on a 22.

Never nauseated...Iron Stomach feat(Razor Coast Freebooters Guide).

Beth, you are up

Taking a step backwards (to be just in front of Nathalie), Beth starts casting.

Casting call lighting, full round action

The monster backs up 10' and seems to be gyrating back and forth.

Wexley and then Natalie are up

so it is now 10' into the water? Or farther?

Looks like about 15'.

If you don't mind, I'm going to play as if every one has delayed just after Beth.

As Beth finishes casting, the air and everybody's hair seems the crackle with electricity.

Taking a moment to observe the creature, Beth warns her companions. "It's concentrating on something else. Hit it now with all your ranged weapons. And if you can target it's belly; it's even better"

Freebooter's bane for all. +1 to all weapon attack and damage vs the creature.

Then she points at it and a bolt of ligthing flies down from the ceiling through the creature.

Electricity damage: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 4) = 15, Reflex DC16 for half

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
