Skulls and Shackles Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Tyranius

Slightly apprehensive, Viviana follows the others in, still not entirely sure about combat in this nasty area, as she reflects on any options where she could gain an advantage.

Charles and Viviana decide to scout ahead using Charles trident to push aside the seaweed. Before they realize what is happening Sahuagin are all around them stabbing at them with Tridents of their own.

Green Sahuagin vs Charles AC 18: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 = 11
Blue Sahuagin vs Charles AC 18: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 2 = 22

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Miss chance low misses: 1d100 ⇒ 4

A trident stabs into Viviana and Charles through the thick seaweed. Viviana comes away unscathed as the seaweed hinders the trident.

Utterly incensed at being struck, Charles attacks the sahuagin that hit him with cold fury.

Trident: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17, for 1d8 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15.

Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 36.

I know its not yet my turn, but I might as well post my actions now since they won't change.

Viviana wears a look of intense irritation as yet another Sahuagin attempt to destroy her. She had fought quite enough of them by now she reckoned, that all Sahuagin should run in fear at the sight of her, but perhaps the lesson needed to be taught further.

Swift Action Martial Flexibility: Blind-Fight
Flurry: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 171d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 231d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 95
Miss Chance reroll with Blind Fight: 1d100 ⇒ 54
Add +2 to attack rolls if Wisdom check exceeds target enemy CR
Wisdom Check (Exploit Weakness): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

If their individual CR is so low that I beat it on a roll of a 1, then do I need to even bother rolling for any Sahuagin encounter?

That's fine Viviana. Your exploit definitely beats their CR2. I will give Somia a few hours before I GMPC since it has been a few days. If she is not back by the end of the encounter then I will drop as it has now been two encounters.

Somia defends herself against the swarm of Sahuagin while Charles slams his Trident through a Sahuagin filling the room with fresh blood. The other Sahuagin seem to go into a crazed frenzy as the blood hits the water.

The Sahuagins stab at Charles, Aishe and Viviana in a frenzy as they swim in from the thick seaweed.

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Miss chance; Low miss: 1d100 ⇒ 23

Maroon will provoke from Aishe through movement

Charles feels two more Tridents pierce his flesh as a third comes precariously close. The Sahuagin seem to miss their marks on the rest of their prey.

Viviana begins to swing in a calm rage as she easily takes out two Sahuagin and nearly finishing off a third. After studying so many Sahuagin Viviana is now able to see their weakness.

Round 1
Jack
Aishe
Viviana (40/52)

"These things pack a punch when they get riled-up!"

Starting to feel somewhat threatened, Charles begins raging, and lashes out at the two sahuagin that hit him!

Trident (Orange): 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 = 18, for 1d8 + 14 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 14 + 3 = 23 damage.

Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 89.

Trident (Green): 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 2 = 17, for 1d8 + 14 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 14 + 3 = 19 damage.

Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 26.

Reload and shoot.
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 191d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Aishe's pike flashes toward the approaching sahuagin.

AoO (+1 Boarding Pike of Repelling, Power Attack): 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 2 = 15
Damage (+1 Boarding Pike of Repelling, Power Attack): 1d8 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 6 = 11
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 96

Then, she attacks a creature already wounded.

Standard action: Attack yellow sahuagin
Attack (+1 Boarding Pike of Repelling, Power Attack): 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 7 - 2 = 17
Damage (+1 Boarding Pike of Repelling, Power Attack): 1d8 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 6 = 12
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 39

Aishe slams her boarding pike into the maroon Sahuagin twice in quick succession, eviscerating the evil beast.

Jack Miss Chance; Low misses: 1d100 ⇒ 66

Jack launches a bolt through the water. It cuts through the calm liquid with ease slamming into the yellow Sahuagin's eye.

Charles thrusts his trident right through one Sahuagin and into another with an immense amount of force.

The lone Sahuagin charges at Viviana with it's trident.

Trident vs Viviana AC 17: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
miss chance; low misses: 1d100 ⇒ 7

The Trident aims true though gets entangles into the seaweed.

Round 2
Jack
Aishe
Viviana (40/52)

Charles swims forward and attempts to finish-off the last Sahuagin.

Trident: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 2 = 29, for 1d8 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 14 + 2 = 19 damage.

Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 79.

Assuming that takes it out...

Charles takes a few seconds to recover, and then begins to search the room.

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21.

"If we have any spare healing, I would love some - although I dare say that I am not the only one..."

Charles finishes of the remaining Sahuagin as the group untangles themselves from the roomful of seaweed.

Combat Over

Looking around Charles finds an assortment of:

• 8 crossbows
  
• cases of bolts
  
• one masterwork trident

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Charles happily trades in his mundane trident for the MW one.

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21.
Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29.

Charles pores over the contents of the room, eventually turning up a small pouch containing nuggets of gold and silver (worth 270gp), and a decomposed human hand wrapped in seaweed like a sushi roll, wearing a ring with runes etched all along the side.

"Anyone know what this does? I am assuming that it is magical..."

He then moves on to the next corridor to explore.

Position on map updated.

Somia looks over the groups wounds. A calmness enters her face as a wave of pure energy erupts from her.

Cure Positive Energy: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 4) = 12

Seeing that Charles is still injured she lays a gentle hand on his gaping wound.

Charles Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (1, 3) + 6 = 10
Charles Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

With all of their wounds healed the group begins to head out in search of more Sahuagin.

Somia tries to head out with them but gets greatly entangled in the seaweed. Go on ahead I will catch up in a moment. Please take my Potion of CLW (3) Acid (2) and Alchemists Fire (2) in case you run into any trouble in the meantime.

This way if she comes back she can catch up.

There seem to be two Sahuagin with heavy crossbows and a creature that resembles a cross between a turtle and a crab, with flippers instead of legs, a snapping beak and two pincers.

"What the hell is that? Sharks, yes, I was expecting them - but some wizard has been messing around a little too much with the local sea-life for a monstrosity like that to be here!"

Aishe swims forward and begins singing her inspirational songs once more.

Standard action: Begin bard song (11/15 rounds remaining, Inspire Courage, +2 competence bonus to hit and damage, +2 morale bonus to save vs. fear)
Move action: As indicated on map

Aishe begins to inspire the rest of the group as the Sahuagin in the rear fire heavy crossbow bolts into the group.

Red Sahuagin Heavy Crossbow vs Aishe AC 16: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Green Sahuagin Heavy Crossbow vs Viviana AC 17: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

The bolts slam into the thick coral on either side of the group as they break into spliters.

The crab like turtle begins to shake as it emits a large cloud of dirty black ink into the water. Total concealment in the area. 50% miss chance

The creature swims forward and bites at Charles. Aishe's boarding pike scrap along the creatures hard shell.

Bite vs Charles AC 18: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Ouch Bad rolling

Reloading and shooting, Jack hopes for the best.Attack,highisgood: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 181d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 61d100 ⇒ 37 But he misses.

With a roar, Charles begins to rage, and attacks the crab-thing!

MW Trident: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 27, for 1d8 + 14 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 3 + 2 = 24 damage.

"BLAST IT" Viviana roars, before triggering her Martial Flexibility again to grant her Blind Fight.

The crab thing was closest and Viviana is determined to crush it in a single full attack.

Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 191d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 251d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Exploit Weakness: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Miss Chance, High is good: 1d100 ⇒ 58
Miss Chance #2 with Blind Fight: 1d100 ⇒ 96

+2 to attack rolls if Exploit Weakness is successful against crab turtle thing (not factored into above attack rolls).

With the turtle creature too close for her to use her pike, Aishe jabs her cestus-covered fist at the turtle creature. Unfortunately, however, she misses completely.

Free action: Maintain bard song (10/15 rounds remaining, Inspire Courage, +2 competence bonus to hit and damage, +2 morale bonus to save vs. fear)

Miss Chance (High): 1d100 ⇒ 31

Jack fires a bolt at the large turtle. Though it must have been curved slightly as it arcs through the water away from the creature.

Viviana is able to find a weak spot in the turtle's defenses and slams her fist into twice. Exploit just barely brought you within hehe.

Charles Miss Chance; Low=Miss: 1d100 ⇒ 89

Charles slams his pike through the Turtle's shell with a snap! A thick mucous pours into the water.

Aishe's boarding pike once again scrapes along the outside of the thick exterior.

The Sahuagin begin to reload their crossbows as the creature bites at Charles with a large hooked jaw and grasps at Viviana and Aishe each with a thick Claw.

Bite vs Charles AC 18: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 9 - 2 = 9

Miss Chance (High): 1d100 ⇒ 7

Oops, forgot Inspire Courage.

Viviana winces as the claw starts to crush her bones, but she is determined to give no quarter to this enemy. With access to her elbows, arms and feet, she pummels the creature with a flurry.

Flurry: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 = 281d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 2 = 251d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15

Applying Exploit Weakness to AC if it succeeds

Charles takes another blind swing at the giant crab-thing.

MW Trident: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 17, for 1d8 + 14 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 14 + 3 + 2 = 26 damage.

MW Trident: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 28, for 1d8 + 14 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 3 + 2 = 27 damage.

Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 25.
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 3.

Viviana Charles and Aishe all strike out at the crab-like turtle. The back inky water though blinds their vision as their attacks miss the creature. Charles believes he may have even turned around and the turtle may be behind him now?

Actually, this is VERY annyoing

You guys are doing good. You have steamrolled everything in here thus far. :) Developers always have to throw in a weird hitch somewhere hehe

Jack fires another bolt into the black mist. He hears the bolt shatter against the coral wall in the distance.

The turtle creature continues to powerfully bite and claw at Charles, Viviana and Aishe.

Bite vs Charles AC 18: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 2 = 23

Blind Fight reroll: 1d100 ⇒ 99

The turtle's beaked mouth clamps onto Charle's arm, nearly tearing it from it's socket.

The two Sahuagin fire their bolts at Aishe and Viviana.

Red Heavy Crossbow vs Aishe AC 16: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 3 - 4 = 14

With a roar, Charles hacks away at the crab-turtle-hybrid!

MW Trident: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 18, for 1d8 + 14 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 14 + 2 + 3 = 25 damage.

Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 91.

Growling at the pain but shutting it off just as quickly, Viviana rallies and, upon seeing the attack of Charles, follows up.

Flurry: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 2 = 271d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 2 = 231d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 64
Blind Fight: 1d100 ⇒ 72
Exploit Weakness: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

If Charles kills it, then I'll swim over to the nearest Sahuagin and just attack it with my first attack roll. If they are out of reach from move+attack then I'll move, use Total Defence, and apply Exploit Weakness to my AC for a total of +8(?) iirc.

Aishe jabs again at the turtle creature again.

Free action: Maintain bard song (8/15 rounds remaining, Inspire Courage, +2 competence bonus to hit and damage, +2 morale bonus to save vs. fear)
Standard action: Attack turtle creature
Attack (Cestus, Inspire Courage, Power Attack): 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 - 2 = 26

Miss Chance (High): 1d100 ⇒ 24

Out of curiosity, what would happen if Aishe cast a gust of wind around the turtle? Would it dissipate the ink cloud?

Try it. Marvelous idea!"
Hearing her growl, Jack feverishly reloads.
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 161d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 61d100 ⇒ 17
Sigh, no comment

@Aishe- I am all for out of the box ideas :)

Charles cleaves off the turtle's head while Aishe's boarding pike slams through the creatures shell and out the other side again effectively ending the creature's life. Viviana swims past it through the mist staying defensive.

@Aishe- Not sure if Concealment or Crit takes priority but a Crit is a auto hit so I don't see any need for a miss chance on a crit.

Jack lets a bolt fly through the water at a Sahuagin. He hears it sink into the rocks below.

The Sahuagin reload their crossbows.

Round 5

Sahuagin

Round 4
Jack
Viviana (40/52)
Charles (44/52)

With a sigh of relief, Charles hustles forward, ready to start skewering more Sahuagin.

Full round action swim closer to the fish-folk.

I'm not going to argue too strenuously, but a 20 is an automatic hit; a 19, while it might be a crit, isn't an automatic hit.

Aishe shifts the timbre of her song, causing a swift current to drive the inky cloud towards the sahuagin.

Standard action: Begin bard song (Whistle the Wind, mimics a gust of wind spell for as long as she keeps it up, 60' line from her to the northern sahuagin)
Move action: As indicated on map

Viviana waves slightly, her hand attempting to track the eyes of the Sahuagin, before she wallops the creature with the other hand.

Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

With renewed vigor Jack reloads and shoots
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 251d8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Aishe changes the tune of her song as the water begins to swirl in a crzed vortex. The oil slams against the coral acting as a filter effectively clearing the water so that Jack is able to see once again.

Jack fires a bolt into the green Sahuagin as Viviana finishes it off by breaking it's heavy crossbow across it's face.

Charles swims in closer

The Sahuagin fires a bolt at Charles as he gets closer

Heavy Crossbow vs Charles AC 18: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The bolt shoots past Charles sticking in Jack's armor.

Viviana (40/52)
Charles (44/52)

Closing with the remaining Sahuagin, Charles attempts to skewer it!

MW Trident: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 33, for 1d8 + 14 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 2 + 3 = 27 damage.

Crit Confirmation: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 2 + 2 = 27, for 1d8 + 14 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 14 + 2 + 3 = 20 *ADDITIONAL* damage.

Yep hes not getting up after that one.

Aishe watches as the others finish off the last of the sahuagin, and begins searching the bodies.

After taking a few seconds to recover (and to retrieve the trident pinning the sahuagin to the floor), Charles aids in the searching of the room...

Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20.

...before continuing on down the corridor.

Charles dives in turning the last Sahuagin into a red mist, leaving no remnant of the creatures existence.

The group finds nothing in the cavern save for the Sahuagin's heavy crossbows.

Roll your heals if you need /want to I am going to press forward.

Content Charles presses forward down the chamber as the tunnel opens into the wall of the blue hole 160 feet below the surface of the cove.

Thousands of plankton fill the cavern. Unfortunately also do hundereds of Jellyfish.

Round 1

Jellyfish Swarm
-----------------------------
Aishe

Deciding that a jellyfish swarm is something that he is not equipped to deal with, Charles hurriedly beats a retreat.

Double move back the way we came.

Viviana does the same.

(unwinnable encounter yay!)

Not necessarily unwinnable. A really mean encounter for them to throw in this place but doable. Assuming everyone is runningswimming away.

The group quickly begins to swim away with all due haste. The jellyfish swarm seems to be just a little slower than the group and has a hard time keeping up. After a small chase the jellyfish swarm returns to the small chamber.

What next? The Jellyfish swarm does not stray far from the chamber unless provoked.

Charles moves over to investigate the crevice in the western wall of the shark chamber.
