The late after noon sun reflects of the clean spring. A olive-green bird lands in the tree and is quickly grabbed by what ever is in the tree. The lodge looks to be in good construction.
"If they have Quinn's hat, I'll bet that's where they are. We should check that out." she says with concern.
"The tree is big, we don't thinks we cans stays away from it. Maybe we shoots them now?"
Sassarra will prepare to fry the chokers with lightning.
"As our head chief used to say: "Its much easier to apologize, or hide a corpse, then to ask permission", isn't it?"
To move things along:[/ooc]
Sarag pull back his bow and fires.
A barrage of attacks go out but only Skrelznit's rock lands. The one he hits is thrown of balance falling from the tree.
Chokers (24)
Mopsank (18)
Sarag (15)
Grauchi (12)
Sassarra (8)
Skrelznit (5)
Round 1:
The one on the ground stands up and readies to attack anything that gets within range.
If hits:
The 2nd one climbs out of the tree and readies the same.
If hits:
She lines up the bluish-tinted one and lets fly.
Careful to stay out of range, Grauchi remains in cover behind the wall
Round 1 end:
The two Choker stand by the tree ready, but no one comes near them.
Sassarra lets free a bolt that slams into the tree.
While Grauchi ducks out and back into cover behind the wall to throw a rock; that gets loge into the hole made by Sassarra's blot.
Just like before Skrelznit's rock slams into the same Choker (green).
Looseal does not see anything else alive.
Mopsank lets set and fires his crossbow, sending the bolt into the water.
Start of round 2:
Green Choker moves up and seeing Grauchi, swings at him; grapping him.
Blue Choker moves up and swings at Skrelznit.
Sassarra spends a moment gathering energy, then steps forward to stab blue with a blade of pure lightning.
Grauchi grows claws and his fangs extend.. ready to do some natural attack damage.
Round 2:
Sassarra swings her blade at blue, but Skrelznit's body keeps getting in the way.
Skrelznit's stabs out with his sword only hitting air.
Grauchi claws at Green.
Mopsank seeing the opening to move, moves over behind blue; flanking with Sassarra. Sassarra's attack thrown blue off just a little allowing Mopsank to sink his dagger into Blue.
End of Round 2:
Green takes 2 damage from Grauchi.
Blue takes 6 damage from Mopsank.
Grauchi took 4 damage from green.
Skrelznit took 6 damage from Blue.
start of round 3:
Blue hold onto skrelznit and squeezes him.
Green hold onto Grauchi and squeezes him.
Grauchi twists and turns around to face the choke-man grappling him. He gets free of the creatures and takes a few steps away from the creature.
With flanking she gathers up her blade again and strikes out at the bluish one. "Let him go. Or die, that works too."
"Yes, I like 'die'. Let's make it that one!"
Mopsank, ever the opportunist, seems much more cocky when it's him with the upper hand.
And what an upper hand it is.
As Skrelznit fights ageist greens hold, Looseal's rock slams into green.
Grauchi breaks free just as Mopsnak's and Sassarra blades sink into Blue; killing it.
It looks like Mopsank's other blade is about to miss, but Skrelznit's fighting green's hold shifts Green into the path of the blade.
End of round and combat:
Looseal and Mopsank finishes off Green.
Sassarra and Mopsank finishes off blue.
Now that the battle is over the party can smell something rotting coming from the little lodge.
They find a good bed, a cabinet, a barrel of rotting food, and a rotting corpse hanging.
Flies flying around the barrel, and in and out of the corpses mouth.
|
Thanks, dollface-k-k-k. Looseal fluffs her feathers as if to say "What? Killing stuff? It's what we do."
Skrelznit communes with his Spirit Guide briefly and feels a wash of healing energy come over him.
Then, nosing about the lodge, Skrelznit peeks inside.
Whew! Somebody offed themself and the flies are feasting-k-k-k.
Nonetheless, he is intrigued by the cabinet, and checks it for traps while holding his nose.
Down! Looseal. Rotting corpses is not food-k-k-k.
Looseal backs off briefly, but cocks her head at him as if he's crazy for believing such absurdities. Of course rotting corpses is food! Whatever, dude. Check your cabinet. I'll just check and see if this toe comes off easily...
Grauchi drinks a potion of cure light wounds as he sees the choke-men are down. He gives a small kick to the one that hurt him and casts detect magics when looking around.
He laughs at Skrelznits joke. "Thats is nobody we knows right?"
A suit of leather armor, eight finely tailored courtier’s outfits (30 gp each), a silver tankard (30 gp).
The cabinet is a spice cabinet with 5 pounds of pepper in waxed bags (worth 10 gp total).
A silver locket depicting a beautiful (for a human), buxom young blonde woman (45 gp).
A ghouls finger with a gold ring on it (50 gp), and a silver hatpin (5 gp).
Three potions, and a magic ring.
The woman looks somewhat like one of the woman you killed at the boudoir; just less rotting.
The clothes are Chelish in style.
They are potions of water breathing.
A ring of swimming.
Sassarra seems interested in the potions and examines one. Then she seems disappointed. "Water breathing potions. I won't need them." and she'll hand them off to the others.

"One of the ghouls was once a girl-k-k-k. Who knew?"
"We gots a ring of swim-real-good."

Grauchi looks around and sees little of real value right now.
"More's to sell."
He begins packing as much as possible in his pack so he can sell it later. When he stumbles upon the locket with the human female, he takes a good look at it and puts it around his neck. It'll make for a good sales speech later. The ring he eyes closely and looks around.
"If nobodies wants the ring, we shalls takes it."
"I'd like the ring. I can bring my own air underwater." she says.
As the day passes deeper into the evening you hear waves beating less and less on the rocks; a sign of low tide.
"Good, the sun goes down, we can see better now and its hurts our eyes less". Can everybody still go ons? Or do you needs a break?
He looks around and sees if this place has some good equipement to rest, like beds and the like, ready to call dibs in case the others want to rest. He also checks if the wall surrounding the compound can be closed off. Lastly he'll use his tracking skills to check how recent there were humanoids, other than the choke-men around here.
You don't see any sign that there has been any humanoids here in weeks; other than you and the choke-men.
"I'm ready to go." she says, "We have people waiting."
You stand at the top of cliffs surround a deep cove churning with dark seawater.
You are about 80 feet above the waters, but can walk around the edge (acrobatics check) to an area only 40 feet above the waters.
Being near to the sea makes the water a little Rough.
The darkness of the water shows that there is no rocks near the surface.
A good Acrobatics or Swim could prevent any damage from jumping in.

"No rocks in water-k-k-k. We can jump in-k-k-k."
Skrelznit prepares to do so. If not prevented,
to climb down.
to jump in.
-Posted with Wayfinder
Sassarra is leaping before Skrelznit hits the water.
"Yess, on these area's the water is rather deep and there are no rocks"
Grauchi looks at the path Skrelnitz is taking, and takes the same path down the clifs for a spot to jump from. As Sassarra and Skrelznit are in the water he aims in between.
"BOMMBS AWAYY!"
Mopsank waits for at least one person to jump in without getting hurt, then jumps in after when he's sure it's safe.
Each of you jump in with ease. But When Mopsank jumps he twists around landing on his back. Landing on his back knocked the wind out of him. As he uprights you can see the bruises on his back.
Slow and steady, Grauchi swims to the caverns.
Sassarra swims toward the caverns.
You come to a split.
To the south East is a natural tidal cavern is decorated with the jawbones of numerous frightful-looking fish, resembling the throat of some hideous aquatic creature.
To the north East you find a cavern carved to resemble the interior of some great sea creature, its ribs towering over and around the chamber.
The north Cavern generates a light riptide. The riptide is not strong enough to effect swimming. But it would make the area under water would pull in and hold any Debris or anything else that has floated into the cave.
