This is assuming Celestra can't do this.

Karlan move over to the girl and puts an arm under her to extract her from the now limp and bloodied snake.

Lay on Hands 4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 4, 3) = 18 Healing to the girl.

Round 2

Celestra steps into the bog and gently lays her hands upon the child ready to give what healing she may.

"My dear child, come back to us! You are safe now!"

At a quick glance, is the child dead, unconscious or conscious? This will determine Celestra's standard action.

Heal Check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Seeing Kabal heading out to work on the boat, Ailetha begins to talk him up to inspire him to get the job done.

Inspire Competence --> +3 to skill checks, assuming a skill check is needed

Responding to Kabal, Bree grunts and says, "Wet, but unharmed. Keep your eyes open in the water, there could be others."

"There will most certainly be others. Hawks feeds well when snakes come to crawl. We must move swiftly, for even gulls know when to avoid a storm." Sable smiles as Korax caws from his staff. "No worries, Bree. I would rather stay and help than fly away just yet."

"You think Korax can take a look around for us?"

Tending to the family KArlan mutters. "First the cosntant sailing metaphors and now birds."

Yeah, get use to that, lmfao.

Knowledge(Nature, Local, Geography): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

While she urges Kabal on, Ailetha attempts to discern what could possible have cause this sudden rise of water. Are storms like this common? Or must it be caused by something else? And, might the rising water continue for an extended time.

Knowledge(Nature, Local, Geography): 1d20+11

While she urges Kabal on, Ailetha attempts to discern what could possible have cause this sudden rise of water. Are storms like this common? Or must it be caused by something else? And, might the rising water continue for an extended time.

Ailetha knows that in this region, storms are common - but this is no common storm.

She also knows that Turtleback ferry is on a lake, and and that lake is fed by a river, and that river has a dam... and if that dam broke...

Sable nods, and speaks to his feathered companion.

The bird takes to the dark grey rain drenched skies, a rough ascent being buffeted by the rain gusts, and is almost invisible to the naked eye within seconds.

Meanwhile Celestra moves to triage the child.
Kid is alive, I assume Celestra followed up with a CLW or the like

It takes just a minute or two to pull the woman and children to safety, the party sets to work helping out as they can for a few minutes more.

Sable is struck all of a sudden by a wave of emotion, Fear, terror, a sense of something huge - his empathy with his feathered companion letting him know that something wicked this way comes.

Led on by Sable as he moves to intercept the bird on its way in, you all notice the floodwaters have spread further into town.

Karlan and Bree are distracted by what is going on around them, but the others notice the bird flapping in fast from the direction of the church – and nearby that building you think you see what at first appears to be a huge black tree being swept downriver on a collision course with the church. Moments before the "tree" hits, it submerges.

A few moments later, the floodwaters surge violently, and with a thunderous roar, a gargantuan monster of nightmare pulls from the water - The sight of the immense monster, its primeval head rising as high as the church steeple-sends the villagers of Turtleback Ferry into a blind panic. No one even notices that the rains have suddenly stopped, and that perhaps the flood waters are already beginning to slow. For now, the spectacle of the lake monster seemingly preparing to destroy the church is all that matters .

Note bog terrain past the black line, but rain has now ceased

Surprise Round

"Now we've done it! We killed baby and now Momma is coming for revenge! I was not planning on using this so soon, but I think you are all going to need this!"

Calling on her deity, Celestra casts Blessing of Fervor on her companions.

At the beginning of each of your turns for the next 9 rounds, please decide on one of the following:

• Increase your speed by 30 feet.
• Stand up as a swift action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
• Make one extra attack as part of a full attack action, using its highest base attack bonus.
• Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.
• Cast a single spell of 2nd level or lower as if it were an enlarged, extended, silent, or still spell.

"Let's go and save the town, my friends, especially the church and the pub!"

If it suits, I'm happy for people to break up their turn showing Surprise round action then their full round

Surprise round

Kabal couldnt care less if the church got destroyed until he realized that people could be hiding in there. He knew they couldnt let the behemoth of a monster roam free. He began making his way towards it unlimbering his axe on the way as he bragged. "Y'all reckon its edible? Time to say hello all proper like."

Standard action - Move 70'. Placing him just past the fork in the road. Drawing weapon as part of move.

Shuffled you down, but feel free to move your counters where you need them guys :) The joy about googleyfun is that you can draw on them, make notes and all that good stuff :)

Ailetha calls out, before the creature arrives:
This is no rain flood. There is a dam upriver. I doubt anything could cause this except a breach of the dam.

If possible, she will shout to the townsfolk.
Get out of the buildings and go to higher land, as high as you can. If it is the dam, the water will probably rise more, and then just as quickly recede.

------
Seeing the creature, Ailetha effectively duplicates Celestra's efforts.
Surprise Round
Cast Haste <-- should get all 6 of us as Kabal would have been in the area of effect when cast. Also, can get Sable's bird and 2 villagers if they are near (so that they can evacuate people faster

Round 1
BOF - +2 on attack/AC/reflex
Move - Begin Inspire Courage (+2 attack/damage & some saves)

Standard - cast Invisibility on Karlan
Karlan, it should not be able to see you. Get lost and take it out.

Hope that is enough buffs to start the battle.

Remember, Haste and BOF do not stack, but you can pick an choose as haste gives all its bonuses, so just take the best from BOF (+2 on attack/ac/reflex vs. +1 for haste or metamagic, etc.)

Round 1

Celestra, using haste, double moves down toward the beast. She draws her rapier along the way.

She using her blessing of fervor to give her +2 Bonus on AC and Reflex Saves.
AC: 25 currently

Karlan does not hesistate. He simply moves.

Double move.

**Karlan**

As Karlan moves towards the creature under the cloak of invisibility, he is suddenly perplexed as he returns to view!
/Invisibility drops as he hits the yellow line.

Do you wish to continue pressing forward, or retcon?

looks like I can get to the beast with 70' move by skirting the bog line? If so count the attack below. If not, Kabal will stop about 20' out.

Striding through the muck, Kabal cracked his neck and rolled his shoulders in preparation for what could be the fight of his life... never seen nothing this big before...just more proof that nothing good comes from large bodies of water...

"Hey beasty! You should've stayed in the deep, dummy."

The brute gritted his teeth and swung his axe.

PA with Furious Focus + BOF: 1d20 + 17 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 17 + 2 = 30

Karlan ignores the removal of the cloak of invisibility protecting him and runs in at the enemy.

Kabal makes it all the way through, launching an attack that lands on the creature - drawing blood!

Bree makes her way forward, drawing her daggers once more as she goes. "Bloody hell. Someone remind me to stab Harry when I see him again."

The creature turns its massive head in response to Kabals blow, a thick tentacle wraps around him in response and then the creature bites back... a multitude of tentacles lash out at the warriors in the front line...

Kabal - 48 damage and a Fort save

It got a 24, which was your AC, but do you have any AC bonuses in effect?If the attack misses then the grapple doesn't trigger.

Didn't someone cast haste? If so then I was missed.

Note - Ailetha has Timely Inspiration. If Karlan or Kabal rolls well, but misses, she will use Timely Inspiration to give them a +2 on their failed roll. (Immediate Action).

Well a lightning bolt is right out until they are free of that thing...

Sable flies closer, remaining about forty feet away from the creature, and utters dark sorcerous words in attempts to change the creature into a seagull.

Sable casts, but finds the nature of the beast renders it untouchable to such magics...

Ducking under tentacles and death Karlan raises his long blade and hacks into the creature.

"Whatever you are creature you will not harm these people!"

Swift: Smite Evil. Probably a waste as I suspect it's neutral but KArlan doesn't have time to detect evil now. If it is evil add +4 to all attacks and +9 damage. Also boost my AC to 31 against it.

Sweet, I was fairly certain your AC was over 24 earlier, so agree it missed.

Karlan doesn't need to call upon his deity to know what his common sense tells him, that this beast is as Evil as they come - his charged strikes landing true and to good effect.

Casting Defensively.

HP: 114 - 46 + 23 + 16 = 107 - Note Kabal has DR 1/

current effects - Haste, IC for +2 Att/Dam, BoF for +2 Att/AC, Rage

Kabal sneerd as the beast's teeth tore into him. He felt the healing powers of Celestra knit the ragged wound to a degree as she called encouragement. He wouldve offered gratitude but heated anger rode the forefront and he unleashed on the giant..."whatever in the Nine Hells you are"

Free action - enter Rage - Rd 1/11

Kabal - might want to note that your axe is cold iron and magic. Not positive know but this may make a big difference if it has DR as those two cover a lot of foes. Just hope you do not need an aligned weapon.

Karlan likewise earns a lash of a pair of tentacles, one missing bu the other catching the Paladin!

Round 3
Seeing Karlan wrapped up, and knowing that the big paladin will likely not appreciate this, Ailetha skirts the reach of the creature before stepping in and toughing the grappled warrior. A second later, the paladin disappears from the grasp of the creature and appears on the opposite side.

Movement should not draw AoO unless the creature has a really long reach.

Cast defensively: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31

Cast Jester's Jaunt - moving Karlan out of the thing's grasp and to the opposite side so that we can hopefully get some flanking.

I moved Karlan, he was 1 down and 1 right of where Ailetha is presently.

Caster Level Check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 <-- if necessary

I really screwed up. I always purchase Feather Step Slippers, and totally spaced it this time, even though I have enough money.

Free Action - continue Inspire Courage (+2 attack/damage)

Round 4

"Holy Cayden Cailean, we need your strength right now! For the sake of this town and all of its people, use me right now to smite this fiend down."

Holy Smite if this is an Evil Outsider: 9d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 2, 1, 6, 3, 5, 5, 5) = 30

The creature will also become blinded for one round.
Will Save DC 20 for half damage and negate the blindness.

It occurs to Karlan quickly that even though he is in a position to flank, the creature is able to track him easily - offering him no advantage...!
