Serpent Skull- Beer and Pretzels (Inactive)

Game Master drbuzzard

Missiles! "Stay still there!" Also did my last arrow, AC 16 pop an image?"

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
Dam: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

16 did not pop an imagine, but 18 does.

Ivar, not again!

Lalali seems to be getting angry at ivars episodes and tries to wiggle free again.

Freedom: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

And smooth like a snake she glides out of Ivars clumsy embrace...

Actually was wrong Bart broke the skeleton.

The Snakehead tries to bite Bart.

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 12 damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 hit DC 17 fort or 1d2 ⇒ 2 strength

Janzadar gives First aid to his halfling ally.
"Sir Galittlehad! Hold on! Live!"
Healing Check (DC 15): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Fire at the snake!

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26 not sure how many images to roll on..

The hawk is finally directed to engauge as well, to simply try and remove images.. He flutters about his head, clawing..

Hawk: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 At the very least 2 more images gone.

fort: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14

"Ouch!!!!" Bart cries out as the snake bites him.

longsword: 1d20 + 3 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 3 - 1 + 2 = 15 (power attack, luck, venom)

damage: 1d8 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 4 - 1 = 10

(-2 str from venom, lingering luck 2/2)

There were 5 of the snake (4 images).

image: 1d5 ⇒ 5 pop
image: 1d4 ⇒ 3 pop

Bart is not close enough to pop an image.

"La...la...li..." groans puppet Ivar as he attempts to hug his unfortunate teammate.

grapple: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Lelali is up and not grappled.

Lalali is extremely AWOL by this point, so she does nothing (posts are expected to be once a day, not once a week, I think you deserve a punting).

Snakehead bites at Bart again.

to hit: 1d20 ⇒ 20 damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
confirm: 1d20 ⇒ 14 damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 confirmed

down he goes

PCs again

So we got two people down, one dominated, and one not acting.. Which leaves two 3/4 bab archers to try and kill the BBEG that's not be wounded and has two images still? Do I have that right?

Janzadar can drop an Obscuring mist and we can try to make a run for it... live to fight another day. What do you think?

I have one prepared as well.. Shame to run with so many down.. I have no healing left and at 1/2 hp so I don't see us winning here tbh.

The barb failing his will save 2x is probably what hosed you. Thems the breaks of the dice. I suppose in theory I could wave a GM fiat wand and save your asses. I'll have to think about it as I'm never fond of being bailed out because the GM made things too nasty. In this case I'm pretty much using the encounter as written with a couple extra skeletons (since there's six of you) and they didn't even do anything but guard most of the time.

I wasn't asking for a fiat, just was wanting to make sure I understood the situation.. I haven't read up on this at all but I would guess the snake lady has at least 50 hp and I know her AC is at least 22 since my 16 failed to pop an image, which tells me a couple of sub +10 to hit arrows with 1d6+2 damage a round if we hit is not gonna get it done. Im not sure a cure wand would save this mess tbh.

What I mean by GM fiat wand is having you bailed out by your NPC buddies or something.

Yeah, I got nothin'

Not a lot to do about the bad will rolls. I would pop the smoke and run like heck... You guys would live and Ivar has a chance. If she has a dominated servant she may not kill him outright. Look how long she dragged the captain along. There is a possibility that you could get to her before she leaves, possibly even rescue Ivar.

Not gonna lie, dying sucks. It doesn't suck half as much as having a TPK, tho. So make a run for it and pray serpenthead won't be better prepared next time we face it.

I´m back and since i already said i was probaly going to be extremely busy this week, i think i was not AWOL.

Magic Missile on Snakehead: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2) + 4 = 9

You ned an SR check.

Not sure who's up here. Has the snake lady took any damage Buzz?

Depends on the SR check, if she fails it, no the baddie has yet to be hurt.

stabilize: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
stabilize: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

I guess I'll roll for the 'not AWOL' Lalali so we can keep moving.
SR: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 nope, fizzle

The snake lady looks at the conscious heroes with a sneer and walks for the exit. In a voice dripping with contempt she mutters "Monkeys, just monkeys. How far the Azlanti have fallen. "

Sane people would let her go. You're up.

is Ivar supposed to follow her or keep trying to Grapple and harm Lalali?

She isn't interested in a pet monkey, when she leaves she will forget about you and let you loose.

'that was the oddest sensation, why am I so close to Lalali.' The glazed look on Ivar's eyes disappear. He looks around the room seeing two of his friends down. "Blast, I'm going to need someone to fill me in, Things are a little muddled in my mind. Where is the snakes corpse? Did Lalale blow it up?"

Maybe the next feat should be 'Iron Will'
is everyone stable?

OK Lady Snake Head leaves you all with her curt dismissal. Janz is able to stabilize everyone. You do understand that the door to this place is on a timer, and they will close and the water will flood the area eventually, so camping out here is not an option.

I feel like an ape indeed. Ignoring my spell like that! Can everybody walk? We should investigate what´s left quickly and then leave. Maybe we can find out what the snake wanted.

Luckily we've got a big brawny guy who likes to hug people.

Did we not find some healing potions at one time or another? Or did they get used.. Also, what was it we came here for again?

Malok retrieves some arrows..

"I can't heal us today, but I think we can't let her go. But if we follow her, and she sees us? I think we need to regroup, and try at a different time. Live to fight another day."
He leads/carries everyone out of the place, and back to camp, in silence, defeat weighting hard on him.

Did we not find some healing potions at one time or another? Or did they get used.. Also, what was it we came here for again?

From: 6/16/16:four potions of cure light wounds, a potion of cure moderate wounds

drbuzzard, do you have any record of anyone using them? I do not, I normally cross stuff off my list it there used, but I’m not perfect.

Einar, takes off his pack and starts to rummage through it. "I believe we have some healing potions in my pack." He then pours a CLW potion into both Barton and Randy. Then pulling out the other vials, handing them each several.

Barton: clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Randy: clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Is it the right time to spend all the potions?

Well if you don't get people standing and remain trapped in here, the campaign will have been a short one.

Drbuzzard ninja'd me!
Up to them, I'm just handing them out.

I mean, what about carry them out...

Bart is upright, barely.

Isn´t Ivar standing? He should be able to carry 2!

I believe the clw healed both of them enough to get them walking. If we are going to follow the snakelady, We don't want them at 1 HP each. So lets pass out the vials so people have them if they need them, instead of forgetting they are there. we have eight clw and one cmw left

Once everyone is up and moving and takes a couple of vials, Ivar looks around. "We should get out of here, is there anything we need before we leave?"

"Not right now."

Is there anyhting here he asks...it´s just the aeons old history of our ancestors lying right in front of us, but nevermind. Probably the spell pushing the water away will wear off soon, so we better head out before that.

You have some time to study the carvings before you leave. Since you need the information, we'll say you take a bit of time to collect it so you can actually continue on in the AP. Without the information (which you'd normally get off the corpse of snake head), you won't go any farther.

After some study while minding the hourglass you are able to discern the location of an ancient Azlanti outpost which could lead you to the fabled city of Saveth Yi.

Bart drinks two potions of cure light wounds.

clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

and casts it on himself once.

clw: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

"I thought snake people were a myth, but that wasn't a myth that just kicked our butts."

Malok takes down the information before leaving..

"Indeed it seems that they are real and very much dangerous.."

Drbuzzard, Randy was at -7 HP so he is at 1 HP also right? Just realized he hasn't said anything...

While the scholars are collecting information, Ivar searches the room, When they appear to be done he responds to Malok's observation, nodding his head at the exit. "Well, as far a I can tell, that one is still on the island, and I would like another chance to kill it. So are we ready to go?"

Once the team has finished with the info gathering Ivar leads them back the way they came, out of the old temple onto dry ground.

perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

we are at 6 clw potions and one cmw. who wants them?

You are able to head back to the lighthouse safely (assuming that is your plan).

Janzadar don't need any... and feels somewhat self-conscious he is out of healing for the day.
