Game Day VII session 1 begins Monday, August 13th.:
Beneath the Grand Lodge of Absalom lie the vaults, a series of storerooms and libraries that contain much of the Society’s findings from the past centuries. Cataloguing the sundry relics and texts takes time, and finds requiring closer study find their way to an extensive vault called the Overflow Archives. Soon after a pair of initiates sneaks into the archive and steals a few items on a dare, the complex inexplicably springs a leak. It is up to the PCs to investigate this strange phenomenon and put a stop to it before thousands of priceless documents are ruined forever.
Content in “The Overflow Archives” also contributes directly to the ongoing storyline of the Dark Archive faction.

Everyone (aside from Lakadee) - Will save v a mind-affecting charm effect DC 17; failure:
The PC falls under the power of the small aquatic woman's captivating song! A victim under the effects of the captivating song moves toward the small, pale woman using the most direct means available. If the path leads them into a dangerous area such as through fire or off a cliff, that creature receives a second saving throw to end the effect before moving into peril. Captivated creatures can take no actions other than to defend themselves. A victim within 5 feet of the singer simply stands and offers no resistance to the singer’s attacks. This effect continues for as long as the small woman on the armored bull's head trophy sings, and for 1 round thereafter. This is a sonic mind-affecting charm effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.
The above is just a copy of the save required from the previous page/post put here for ease of reference, and as a reminder. It is not a new effect.

The pinker of the two tooth fairies is casting a sleep spell.

Edwin moves little bit closer (5ft - one move action), takes out his shortbow and shoots at right Tooth fairy.

Quick note: the stream of water pouring from the grill in the ceiling of the room, provides soft cover (the water is hard to see through), and obviously makes stuff wetter for those passing underneath. Crossing my fingers for you Bob. ;)

Remember everyone, deep bog conditions reign throughout the area. Since everyone is just chatting until Elianna sloshes forward and lowers the boom, it's fine just now that she can do so.
I totally missed that we were still in deep bog, sorry! I thought that was only in the green area on the map which was behind us when I posted. To be honest all the different aliases for every different npc plus all of us and companions is making it *really* hard for me to keep track of what's going on so I thought initiative meant that we knew they were being hostile.
"That one over there (pink) is casting sleep!" she'll call out.
GM, can someone be shaken out of the effects of the song thing? If yes Elianna would move to Razka and shake him out of it. If not she'll draw her crossbow and spend a point from her arcane pool to make it +1 then try to shoot the one casting sleep.

Elianna:
Elianna doesn't think she could wake them even by hitting them with a morningstar. Even if Elianna stopped the song, she suspects the effect might linger for a few seconds.

Elianna glances back at Bob and Razka and sighs a little bit before drawing her crossbow, using her arcane pool to enhance it, and firing at the pink fairy to try and stop its spell from hitting her friends!

Elinna's bolt barely grazes the toothy woman's cheek.
"You cut my cheek." she growls, before resuming her song.

GAK! EDIT Always check your private messages first!
[s]"OooooOKU! Heee" shrieks the near-toothless fairy (Pink Posie) excitedly fanning her knees excitedly with its pliers. The noise completes the spell inspite of Elianna's unsportswoman-like attempt to interfere.
It's so excited it rushes down seemingly to give Dawn a peck. Then it brings the pliers forward....
Posie - greater steal v Dawn (tricky thief--tooth):1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Regardless of the above Pink triggers an AoO from Dawn for entering her square if Dawn is able to capitalize on it (i.e. must Threaten).
If the tooth fairy gets through it extracts one of Dawn's teeth causing 1 point of immediate Charisma damage, and one bleed (the bleed hits at the beginning of Dawns next turn).
Dawn misses and then watches the tooth fairy fly past her glaive. At this moment, Dawn wishes she stuck to a close range weapon.
Glaive has reach, so it doesn't threaten at 5ft.
"Keep those pliers away from me, you little-" the creature's tiny feet dig into Dawn's tongue, causing her to yelp for just long enough to pry out one of her front teeth. "I've heard of biting the hand that feeds you, but this is ridiculous."

Okay stepping back a few. I could have sworn that Elianna had shot at the small toothy woman and not the diminutive cherub. Oh well,it's probably a First World thing.
Okay Lady Gormandelle keeps her perfect cheek. Pink tooth fairy takes damage, but maintains concentration. The sleep spell still happens, and stuff goes forward. Carry on.

The horrible flying baby, not having any pockets, jams the extracted tooth into its mouth for safe keeping.

Vina finishes her summoning spell, and a dolphin appears in the water! Vina casts guidance on it and points to the woman with strange teeth and asks the nice dolphin to pull her down in the water!
dolphin acrobatics to jump 6 feet up as part of its movement vs. DC 24, 80 ft. swim speed = +20 to jump:1d20 + 1 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 20 = 27
Spinning 360 degrees into the air the dolphin tries to body slam the small woman with strange teeth off her perch!
The dolphin (possibly distracted by dolphin mounted on the wall beneath the iron bull's head) misses as the toothy little woman hops up and out of the way.

Dolphin mounted on the wall-- LOL!!! btw, on a scale of close to a mile off, how close did dolphiny get to match her CMD and tail slap her into the brine? :P did onlookers get that 'so close!' feeling or just stared in puzzlement at seeing a dolphin front flip out of the water? LOL

Just beware the mounted spearfish.

CMD 15, I would note though that the little woman is aquatic.

As far as I understood she was 10 feet above ground sitting on the bull's head trophy, which is 6 feet above the 4-foot high waterline yes? or did I completely miss the boat on that? dolphiny has a second round to live... and I wonder what he will try to achieve in his short lifespan... :P

In the 3D world of 5-foot-squares that means that the dolphin is in the bottom-most tier of 5-foot-cubes that represent the height of the 15-foot-tall room, and that the Lady is in the top-most tier. Attacks from beneath (or near-directly beneath) have cover to deal with from the trophy the woman is perched on, and all the other things sticking out from the wall.

Ok cool- thanks for helping me visualize. After that dolphin - who probably can't damage anyone due to DR/cold iron all over the map, hence the fancy bull rush attempt - I'm pretty much tapped out so I'll be sprinkling wand of cure light wound joy around the battlefield next. Hopefully we got ranged people with cold iron goodness - although I'm not holding my breath at level 1-2! :D LOL

"Gee, Mister, this candy is making me sleepy," Razka non sequiturs.
He barely manages to stay awake, his eyelids very heavy. But the music is just too lovely to sleep through and he sloshes closer to the divine creature making the divine sounds.
Razka's lips part in a sleepy grin. The combined chemical and magical lights sparkle off of them so hard and with such charisma that they chime.
There's another sound from across the room, like sunrise over Springfield, or in this case the small lady with the large collection of teeth when Razka's pearly whites come into view. She grasps a small high-powered crossbow (on her turn from her seaweed belt), hops up and down, shrieking and pointing. She sings louder.
Those in the party who know the Sylvan tongue can translate it. In the Common tongue it would go a bit like this:
Love, exciting and new
Come aboard, were expecting you
Love, life's sweetest reward
Let it flow, it floats back to you!
THE LOVE-!
The fat, little, gurgling tooth-thief that stole one of Dawn's canines visibly drools around the pilfered tooth that sticks out of its lower gum like an white ivory stalagmite in a wet pink cave. It repeatedly snaps its rusty pliers in anticipation.

Round 2 of 2 for dolphiny! dolphin slam vs. Swwst:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 bludgeoning dmg.
The dolphin disappears in a puff of white mist. Vina utters a quick prayer to The Green and touches Bob with her prehensile tail. A faint smell of sweet honey and coconut comes to the gunslinger's noise. She then takes cover in Lakadee's canopy.

Elianna grimaces as she's shot, but knows she has to keep doing something sort of useful if she's going to save her captivated teammates. She reloads and fires again, this time at the webbed-woman, muttering a prayer to Arshea that her aim will keep steady.

Bobbot and Razkabot trudge forward through the water stop and blink. What were they doing again?
Vina's summoned dolphin swims backward with the front half of its body sticking up perpendicular to the plane of the water, waving with its flippers. It clicks and gurgles in a parody of speech. It executes a backflip, and then a forward flip over Dawn who is still trailing blood from her impromptu oral surgery. Then it leaps from the water toward the small woman on the iron bull's head trophy winking out of existence inches away from contact.
Elianna's doesn't penetrate her toothy attacker's scaly hide.
Edwin pegs a bolt right between the eyes of a mounted moose head.
The woman reloads and returns a bolt of her own at Elianna. It misses and goes *plunk* in the water beside the elf.

Dawn's attempt misses, but shakes the rosy fairy from her stupor. The tiny, pudgy, winged baby zips around Dawn, and Bob, and immediately dives--pliers first--for the mouth of Razka who is still smiling at the memory of the beautiful music. The fairy grins a toothless grin and dribbles a bit.

Before Edwin can drop his bow, Dawn brings the glaive down heavily upon fairy. *SPLASH!* It doesn't come back up.
The feral fish-woman on the wall of trophies screams in frustration.
