The zombie staggers forward and grabs at Endir.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

The archer takes a gruesome wound as the zombie manages to slam straight into his gut, throwing him off balance and piercing his armor.

Everyone is up. Finish him!

Looking like she's done it one hundred times before, Ela fishes a pinch of black powder out of her horn and a small metal pellet from elsewhere, stuffing them in through the top of her pistol and pushing them down with some sort of "ramming rod".

Reload pistol, move action.
Pistol attack vs. green, engaged in melee: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 - 4 = 20
B/P damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Confirm critical?: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 - 4 = 11
Critical B/P damage: 3d8 ⇒ (5, 4, 5) = 14 Pistol is ×4

Ela's shot utterly obliterates the last zombie.

Combat over!

"Great job, everyone! Really great! Come on, gather close." She beckons everyone to get in around her. Then she starts to give everyone high fives! "Whooo! Yeah! Kurgess bless our endeavours!" As she convinces her teammates to share some high fives and compliments with each other Kurgess' blessings wash over them. Channel Energy!

Healing Everyone: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Seeing that Endir still looks a little worse for wear, Savannah pulls out her wand and taps him with it.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"There! That outta do it! Feeling better?"

I think everyone is full health now, except for Endir? Correct?

Each of the Zombies had a bandolier, containing mostly empty vials and rusted blades, but a total of 4 full potions can be found between each of them.

Now that the area is secure, you're able to get a better look at the mid deck. This large space takes up most of the ship’s below-deck area and is still strung with almost a dozen crew hammocks, though some have been sliced through and hang limply from their tethers. Light is dim here, filtered through the cracked glass of a few filthy portholes. Stairs aft lead up to the main deck.

Lady Naysha nods at Savannah. "Yup! Feeling great! Still!"

She picks up the potions and passes them to Ela and Fuzzzy. "What do these do?"

Then she goes back to those two book they only had time to take a quick peek at, just in case it's important. (Captain's journal and Sailing Through the Eye: a Theoretical Study of the World's Largest Storm).

Endir goes over to look at the book, too, seeing if anything stated there is important or would help in their quest.

not refusing any more healing though becuase i'm at 1 HP.

He missed the channel healing. He's at 7hp.

Ela passes the potions directly onto Fuzzzy, with a sheepish laugh.

Hehe, I might have traded some of my magical training for the use of this weaponry. No cantrips for spellslingers.

I might have a look at those books with you though...

She casually reads over Lady Naysha's shoulder.. totally not annoying at all :P

The journal was printed on vellum with water-resistant ink, so the pages are largely still legible. It appears to be the journal of captain Jaheem, and it contains an account of the ship’s last mission, detailing the departure of the Pathfinders’ landing party, the crew growing restless waiting for their return, and eventually the crew’s outright mutiny as the weather grew worse. Jaheem’s last entries describe the ship’s collision with the reef and his intent to try using his water-related powers to escape his imprisonment: an attempt that clearly failed.

The other book, while appearing rather valuable to a collector, seems rather useless to an adventurer. Although the value does mean a few more coins in your pocket when the day is done.

The staircase to the hold is unimpeded, and it appears as though the zombies were the only creatures remaining aboard. The hold of the ship smells dank and briny, thick with algae and the bony remains
of fish washed in by the tide. Ten small, sodden chests, each labeled, are in the aft of this small space. The chests contain only waterlogged clothing, a set of embroidered kerchiefs, a locket containing a lock of hair, and a sodden envelope that used to be a letter but has long since fallen apart.

Healing Endir Again! (wand): 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 (You're at full!)

Finding nothing else of use, Savannah wanders the ship, intoning prayers to Kurgess over the bodies of the undead, and the hammocks of the sailors who were clearly lost at sea. When she's done blessing the ship she heads back up onto the deck.

"I don't see anything else of interest on the ship. Did you guys? Shall we follow the strange currents to that cave?"

"Why thank you, Strange Woman! I feel much better." Fuzzzy enjoys giving everyone high fives very much.

Fuzzzy takes the potions and smiles. "Oh, yes. What's that spell again?"

"You... woman... better... oh! Again?" the hat says.

"HOOOO!"

"Ah, yes! Quite right! Ahem... DETECT MAGIC!"

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

"AH! Four cure light wounds potions! Very handy!"

Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

"Hmmm? A cave? Caves are meant to be entered, you know!" Fuzzzy looks like he's about to hop right into the ocean and swim to the cave if no one stops him.

"Magic handy, you know!"

"Hoooo!" Bobby exclaims. He tugs on Fuzzzy's robes and tries to lead him to the swam boat.

Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Lady Naysha heads into the boat with Fuzzzy. "Come along, Miss Whiskers!"

As you begin to head towards the swan boat, unusually strong currents begin to pull at the moored boat... directly towards the cave. What appears to be natural, slanted brown rock from a distance resolves into the broken wood of shipwreck upon wreck, surrounding the entrance to a small sea cave cut into the cliff of Tempest Cay by the fierceness of wind, water, and time. The ships that have somehow skirted the coral shallows or were too large to enter the cave have been smashed against the rocky cliffs. As the boat finally pushes into the mouth of the cave, the current become stronger and stronger, making it nearly impossible for the boat to leave even if you wanted to. Suddenly, the boat begins to rock and reel!

Reflex saves from everyone!

nifty. a potion of CLW for each of us?

Ela smiles the entirety of their journey in the small boat. She's enjoying it like it's some sort of kid's game, but gets embarrassed when she thinks others can tell and tries to straighten her face. It doesn't work.

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

"Hang on, Team!"

Reflex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

Savannah barely keeps her footing as Ela goes tumbling over the edge and splashes into the water! It becomes rapidly apparent what's going on... a creature is bumping the boat from the sides and bottom over and over again. It makes no move to bite at Ela however, it just keeps bumping the boat... It looks... tired... and spooked.

Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Now into the water, Ela sees what is disturbing the speeding of the boat.

There is a hippocampus down here bobbling the boat. It seems to have a saddle on it. Maybe it's missing its handler?

Remaining reflex saves:
Fuzzzy: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13
Naysha: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Endir: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Fuzzzy and Nayshal both go tumbling off of the boat, splashing into the rough waters, leaving only Savannah and Endir on board.

Just about anything you wish to attempt will require a swim check, DC 15.

Swim, DC15, little flailing arms: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6 uh oh

gurgle glug cough spit

"Oh, my! What a lovely boar ri-- AHHH!"

Fuzzzy falls into the water! Luckily, he grabs onto his hat, and it does not fall off his head. Crisis averted!

Swim (with guidance): 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 1 = 17

But, he is a good swimmer.

"Is it bath time?" he asks. Then he sees the strange creature in the water! Fuzzzy uses his swim check to swim over to the creature and say hi. "Hello there! What are you doing?"

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8

"AHHHH time!"

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

"HOOO!" Bobby flies over and waves his talons at the hippocampus, pointing out that it's wearing a saddle on its back. Unfortunately, Fuzzzy doesn't notice! But maybe someone else will...

Does he see its rider around?

It is difficult to see from the surface, but Bobby is able to spot that the hippocampus's rider is unconscious and caught in the harness being dragged beneath their steed. They don't look like they're in very good shape...

Fuzzzy approaches the Hippocampus, but it isn't intelligent and has no idea what the old wizard is saying. It thankfully doesn't seem to consider Fuzzzy as a threat and continues bumping into the boat and now Fuzzzy as though trying to get his attention.

Ela on the other hand seems to be busy trying to determine how deep the water is by sinking. The flow of debris strikes her and she falters, taking a mild blow to the head and sinking 5 ft blow the water line. Remember, you can hold your breath and continue to act for a number of rounds equal to your Con score before drowning.

Nonlethal Damage to Ela: 1d3 ⇒ 3

"WHEEEE!" Lady Naysha says as she tumbles into the water. She looks like she's having fun. "Hang on, Miss Whiskers! It's a pool party! In the dangerous ocean! WHEEEEE!"

Swim: 1d20 ⇒ 20

She swims right back over the to boat and climbs back in with Miss Whiskers.

Seeing Ela flounder and sink Savannah prays to Kurgess for a bit of luck. Then she dives into the water after her. (Next round anytime I roll a d20 I roll twice and take the better result.)

Swim: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Guiding Ela to the surface if I can, otherwise just swimming over to her and taking her hand.

Oh right, holding her breath then...

Ela ejects the initial influx of water and slows herself down just enough to realize she can do this for a short time while trying to get back to the surface.

holding breath for 1/8 rounds
Swim to surface: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6 um....

It turns out she's really not good at swimming. As she flails her arms about it appears to be "digging a deeper hole" rather than propelling herself to the surface.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

"Hey guys! Don't drown, a recent study shows that drowning causes death, and death is 100% fatal, worldwide! Soooo, drowning is bad!" Endir shouts his encouragement to the party!

my swim is not great, plus Savannah is helping her already. nothing to do but try to stay on.

@ Endir: Ahahahaha! Awesome!

Naysha scrambles back to the boat and Savannah does a graceful swan dive to rescue Ela. She grabs the floundering mage and pulls her up to the water's surface.

Naysha grabs onto the lip of the boat, and Endir is able to drag her back aboard. The Hippocampus is continuing to rock the boat, although it's also bumping into Fuzzzy now. It doesn't appear to be trying to wound him, but it's a rather large creature and the waters are very rough. Fuzzzy, your next swim check will be a bit more difficult.

Lady Naysha sits nicely in the boat. When Savannah brings Ela over, Lady Naysha helps pulls her back into the boat, too!

"Hooo! Hooo!"

Guidance!

"What? Really? How silly!"

Swim: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 2 + 1 = 23

Fuzzzy reaches down and pulls the hippocampus' rider up out of the water. "You shouldn't ride your horse-fish upside down!"

I don't know if I need a check for this? I will roll CMB I guess? With Bobby's guidance!
CMB to drag him to safety?: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 = 15

"Silly upside down!" the hat laughs.

After Fuzzy saves/fixes the rider then Endir will pull him up, with this STR check (tell me if i need to do a different check)

STR: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Hearing what Fuzzy said Endir replies: "Horse - fish?"

Fuzzzy untangles the rider from the hippocampus and pulls him towards the boat. The rider is unconcious, although he appears to be an aquatic... or partially aquatic race and thankfully did not appear to be at risk of drowning.

The hippocampus however seems to be panicked seeing the rider's limp body pulled onto the boat and it starts thrashing about!

Thank you, Savannah. Ela sits in the boat, drenched, resting as her breath catches up. I'm not a very good swimmer.

Sudden realization flashes across her face as she grasps at her waist for her powder horn. Finding it still sealed, she sighs relief.

She watches as Fuzzzy and Endir drags the rider onboard.

Is he still alive?

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 10

With the rocking of the boat, ringing in her ears, and water pouring out of her nose, Ela has a hard time discerning much of anything.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

Lady Naysha holds Miss Whiskers out to the hippocampus. "What do you think, Miss Whiskers?" She asks. "Hmmm... You're right! He's worried about his owner!"

She tells Savannah, "You should heal him. Miss Whiskers doesn't want to. She doesn't trust fish-people. "

Fuzzzy tries to climb up into the boat since he's right beside it.

You've got 4 potions of cure light wounds, so you can feed him one of those. Otherwise I think Savannah is out of healing spells.

Once Ela is done catching her breath, she unseals her recently acquired potion and pours it into the mouth of the unknown rider...

There there fishy horsey, your rider will be okay...

Potion of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

if that isn't enough to get him conscious, she gets out her wand of CLW

SM: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7

"Uh oh, maybe it's mad?"

The hippocampus calms down as the rider begins to cough loudly. No longer being rammed by the creature, it is easy enough to navigate to a small beach in the cove. The rider, finally realizes that he isn't in fact in Pharasma's boneyard relaxs. **Cough** "You saved me... I'm Nalu... and this is Kelp" He pats the hippocampus on the flank.

"Thank you for rescuing me... I thought I was done for."

Hello Nala, I'm Ela. The others are Savannah, Fuzzzy, Naysha, and Endir.

She points to each of them in turn.

If you don't mind, can you tell us why you were here and what you know of the wrecked ship over that way?
