GM Ladile & the Pathfinder Society Present: From Shore to Sea (Inactive)

Game Master Lady Ladile

While Luurg moves to what he hopes is a more favorable position both Tiffany and Sheela begin summoning allies while McKieg and Wadi smear the slippery salve all over their bodies. The dwarf then prepares to use his wand to bless everyone once the summoned allies arrive.

I'll give Adyr a little more time to act if he wishes and then I'll advance the action, most likely tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Adyr is UP!

Down Below

There isn't much Adyr wants to do other than engage from distance. He will remain next to Wadi and Sheela as they summon creatures to help.

In a bid to head off any potential shenanigans at the pass Luurg finds himself farther ahead than the rest of the group and on the other side of the excavation chamber. The path narrows again into a small passage that curves away out of sight...but his foresight is rewarded as a new challenger comes around the curve! Another skum, but instead of weapons and armor this one wears robes and carries a wand in one hand. Unlike the other skum you've seen this one's limbs are freakishly long, granting him an increased reach.

"You should not have come here! Master Mohl'omog will be freed and we, his faithful servants! You cannot stop it!" Gerlach - for this must be he - croaks as he takes aim at Luurg with the wand in his hand and fires a coruscating ray!

Wand vs. Luurg (Ranged Touch): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

But the ray just misses the half-orc and *zots* against the wall!

Adyr will begin his bardic performance +2 to hit, damage and saves vs. fear.

"Old gods now dead and young gods that fool the soft-minded sods... praise the Laws of Man instead rather than divine dogs."

Move action and standard.

"Gerlach (or what's left of him) I presume?" Sheela speaks with cool anger. 'I will liberate you from the Old Ones' reach. They will claim you, and your former friends, no longer."

Adyr advances towards his other companions, starting up another lecture and boldly proclaiming the lack of fear he holds for gods both old and young. Even if you disagree with the man's personal philosophy it's still quite inspiring.

But.

Perhaps it would be wise to not tempt fate when a god...or even a being that fancies itself a god...is within earshot. From beyond the illusory wall comes a great splashing and flopping sound and then an enormous, three-eyed fish-like creature lurches out into the passageway, four great tentacles flopping and flailing about.

1=Sheela, 2=Tiffany
1d2 ⇒ 2

As the three great eyes settle on Tiffany - who is visibly casting a spell - it seems to be attempting to bring some manner of power to bear but just what is uncertain; it's almost as though it's purely a mental exercise for the great monstrosity...

McKieg you may keep to your previously-stated intention or you may do something else this round if you wish.

Active Conditions: Inspire Courage +2

Environmental Conditions: Difficult Terrain (Water Squares)

Luurg, Wadi, Tiffany + Summon, Sheela + Summon and McKieg are UP!

Down Below

Tiffany frantically backs away from the three-eyed monster. "Ew, ew, EW! Get away from me, fish face!"

Her rainbow-scaled crocodile appears ahead, an aura of celestial light outlining the beast. "Get 'em, Crocadilla!"

Crocadilla is going to use Sprint to increase her land speed to 40, then double move in difficult terrain for a total of 40 feet. She will attempt to squeeze past Gerlach, provoking an AoO, if that is possible. Will post Tiffany's own actions later today as soon I get access to HL.

Luurg blinks as the wand blasts the wall nearby "Hey dare, dat seals it Gurlick." He starts to say as a giant croc with rainbow scales pushes past him and for once doesn't bite.

"Huh." Is about all the orc can say before shrugging his shoulders and eating a small, ugly fruit. As soon as it hits his lips the orc quadrouples in size to fill the entire hallway. New Spear now also getting bigger and scarier. Enlarge Person

Luurg smiles and rumbles into range. "Gib up fish mang else!"

Wadi is startled as the appearance of the slimy fish creature splashes more water on his robes. Glancing down with a look of disgust he glares at the creature. "Let's see what you smell like when fried!" He points at it after stepping back here and soon it begins to smoke as flames begin to engulf it!

5' step back. Cast Spontaneous Immolation at the creature. It takes Fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 3) = 15 and catches on fire. A successful DC 16 Fortitude save reduces this damage by half and prevents the target from catching on fire.
SR check: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 2 = 26

Sheela finishes her summoning ritual. Good thing too, because that thing from the great below startles her.

Aquas the Small Water Elemental appears and tries to pummel the thing.

Slam, Water Mastery: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 1 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

She focuses on the spell of Vanish, trying to remove herself from sight.

Concentration DC 17: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Now invisible, Sheela flees from the tentacled thing. "Pincered!"

As he'd intended, and before the team and its summoned allies scatter, McKieg activates his wand of bless.

Then he wades through the murky water toward the alien god-creature, Mohl’omog, a firm grip on his longaxe.

Crocadilla has a little more time to act than expected, given her ability to move through the watery terrain, and after finding her way behind Gerlach, spreads her maw to bite him!

Bite, Smite Evil: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 121d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Grab: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

"I'm getting away from this fish-head, just in case its ugliness is contagious!" Tiffany backs up and conjures forth a flaming sphere, dropping it on the fish-god.

SR: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Flaming Sphere: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 6) = 10
DC 15 Reflex negates

As Tiffany's summoned croc springs into existence the startled grippli rapidly falls back from the three-eye monstrosity that's suddenly come out to play. Crocodilla zooms through the 3 feet of water thanks to her inherent swim speed, attempting to push past Gerlach and get behind him.

As per the rules here, Crocodilla needs to either make an Acrobatics check or try to Overrun as part of a move or charge since you can't otherwise move through an enemy's square unless said enemy is helpless. For the sake of expediency and avoiding retcons I'm going to assume a croc would attempt an Overrun.

Gerlach isn't stupid; though he'd probably rather not have a big ol' crocodile behind him he'd rather avoid getting bowled over even more. He takes a retaliatory swipe at the croc and then quickly flattens himself against the wall, allowing Crocodilla to zip past him.

Gerlach AoO vs. Crocodilla (Claw): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Though injured, Crocodilla whips around and snaps at the skum's leg but Gerlach quickly yanks it clear.

Not impressed with Gerlach's opening salvo Luurg chows down on a fruit and grows three sizes this day larger than usual, rumbling forward to pin the skum between himself and Crocodilla. McKieg blesses the group with his wand and then lumbers forward towards Mohl'omog, weapon in hand.

Both Tiffany and Wadi target fire spells at the great beast while Sheela's friend Aquas zips up and tries to punch the thing in the face. While the creature somehow manages to avoid getting torched by Tiffany's flaming sphere it does suffer some minor burns from Wadi's immolation attack, though it doesn't catch fire. Sheela herself quickly cloaks herself from sight, not appreciating this thing being so close to her.

"No, you should give up! Perhaps Master Mohl'omog will be merciful if you do," Gerlach hisses, adopting a defensive position as he attempts to cast a spell...

...but fails to do so!

Down Below

Adyr doesn't want to become this foul-fish beast's dinner and attempts to attack and retreat...magically of course!

Arcane Strike (swift)
Defensively Cast Bladed Dash (19)
Cast Defensively: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
time for that GM re-roll.
Cast Defensively: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 3 = 13
The spell fizzles and Adyr knows his goose is cooked!

"Help! This creature is sure to eat me!"

"GUYS! The fish face is an ILLUSION!" Tiffany loudly calls, watching the flaming sphere fall through Mohlmolog. "A powerful one. But totally not real! Gerlach's the real threat!"

"Yes, Mohl'omog's image is an illusion, but she's still dangerous."

I think this thing is a she. McKieg grimaces. Not sure where to look, to know for sure.

Alarmed, Adyr attempts to cast a spell to allow him to both attack and safely withdraw from the three-eyed Mohl'omog but can't quit manage it - the thing is just that scary.

Of course then Tiffany and McKieg both call out that the thing is actually an illusion...

...and now that they look more closely, Adyr, Wadi, and Sheela can see it too. This Mohl'omog is most definitely an illusion, but stronger - it's quasi-real and still has the potential to be dangerous. It only looked as though the illusion took damage from Wadi's spell.

How dangerous?

Well...whatever the illusory Mohl'omog was doing seems to come to some sort of completion and Tiffany feels a very strong mental effect attempting to take hold of her.

Tiffany, please make a DC 22 Will; this is both a compulsion and mind-affecting effect for the purposes of any bonuses you might get from traits, etc.

1=Adyr, 2=McKieg, 3=Wadi
1d3 ⇒ 1

The three great eyeballs then roll around and fix themselves on Adyr...

I'm going to have Tiffany resolve the Will save and her actions first before calling for actions from everyone else, for reasons.

Active Conditions: Bless, Inspire Courage +2

Environmental Conditions: Difficult Terrain (Water Squares)

Tiffany + Crocodilla are UP!

Down Below

Wadi utters a few choice words in the infernal tongue...essentially curses in other words...as his spell proves useless. Studying the image further his face pales as he recognizes the spell for what it is!

Spellcraft DC 22: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

"It's using a Project Image spell here! If we can break the line of sight between it and the spell then it will end!"

Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Tiffany suddenly stops, turning to her own allies, her eyes glowing red. "Praise God Emperor Gerlach, King of our Lands, and all who worship him! Do not oppose His Greatness, or suffer certain death!" She speaks uncharacteristically in monotone, and she hasn't used the word 'like' once. Something is definitely wrong with her.

Waiting on his command

McKieg looks around to try to determine the project image spell's line-of-sight.

The dwarf glances at Tiffany, realizing she could become an immediate threat. Then he looks at Crocodilla, hoping the summoned creature will continue attacking its current target.

(At least for this round, it might continue to attack the bad guy, right?)

For now, Crocodilla keeps her eyes fixed on Gerlach, and the summoned creature snaps and swings her tail at him!

Bite, Flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 131d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Tail Slap, Flank: 1d20 + 0 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 0 + 2 = 71d12 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

... Likely missing the evasive Gerlach both times.

Her mind taken over by Gerlach, Tiffany turns on McKieg, pulling out a net. "You, sir dwarf, shall NOT harm Master Gerlach! See how well you can move when slowed by a big net!" She whirls it around like a lasso and throws it at McKieg.

Net, Melee touch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
If it hits, McKieg is entangled. Sorry, McKieg.

At about the time that Wadi realizes that the Mohl'omog illusion is actually a Projected Image, Tiffany suddenly does a heel-turn and whips around to drop her net over McKieg, who happens to be standing right next to her. The net easily drops over the dwarf, soundly entangling him. Somewhere in the back of her mind Tiffany realizes that this isn't right, something's wrong about this entire situation, she has to fight it off!

Tiffany, please make another DC 22 Will with a +2 bonus; if you succeed the effect ends.

Luckily for everyone else - and not so much for Gerlach - Crocodilla remains blissfully unaware of what's happening with her summoner just around the bend and continues try to chomp on the skum's legs. To no effect, as Gerlach is more evasive then you'd think just by looking at him, but at least she's remaining focused on her original target.

Please see Discussion for, well, further discussion.

Active Conditions: Bless, Inspire Courage +2

Environmental Conditions: Difficult Terrain (Water Squares)

Luurg, Wadi, Sheela + Aquas and McKieg are UP!

Down Below

McKieg rolls his eyes as the ensorcelled Tiffany throws her nuisance net over him.
Salve of Slipperiness, Escape Artist DC20: 1d20 - 1 + 10 ⇒ (2) - 1 + 10 = 11

The war priest calls out to the team, "The illusion is intangible, and you should be able to pass through it to get to the real Mohl’omog in the chamber beyond, right Luurg?"

"While Mohl’omog is focused on the projected image, he or she should be deaf and blind, and vulnerable to attack."

"Ha HA! Take that, DWARF!" Tiffany cackles.

Will Save: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 2 = 22
... And then her face falls, and she looks down at her hand holding the net's trailing rope. "... What the hell?"

"O.. M... G... I'm so SO SO sorry. That thing.. It was in my head! Geez! No boundaries at all!" She scowls in anger. "Like, at least buy me a drink first!"

"No harm done, Princess. Can you get this thing off me?" McKieg asks.

Speaking of blissfully unaware, Luurg's around the bend as well and knows something's going on back with the others but at present he's got other fish to fry. "HuH? Luurg real busy, call back laters."

He grunts and tries to stick new spear through the magical skum in front of him.

New Spear: 10' reach, PA, Enlarge, Mutagen, Bane, Inspire, Flank, Heroism: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 9 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 372d6 + 7 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 3) + 7 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 2 + (5, 1) + 2 = 33

That's a lot of mods on that attack but I think I have them all straight and removed bless for not stacking with heroism.

Sheela moves up to McKieg and tries to help him escape.

Not sure of the mechanics, but I'll assume it's some kind of Escape Artist check.

Escape Artist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Aquas, meanwhile, tries to punch the big thing again.
Slam, Water Mastery: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 1 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

Blissfully unaware of the chaos happening back behind him in the tunnel, Luurg continues to focus his attention on Gerlach and tries once more to skewer him with New Spear. This time he succeeds quite handily in spite of the skum's protections, leaving a nasty puncture wound in Gerlach's side! But Luurg does notice that New Spear seems a little less effective against Gerlach than it was against some of the other strange things you've encountered down here.

The Bane property doesn't affect Gerlach in this case.

The still-invisible Sheela moves up to McKieg and attempts to help free him from Tiffany's net; though the pair make a good effort working in tandem it still proves annoyingly difficult to remove. But luckily for McKieg, Tiffany suddenly seems to shake over whatever strange effect she'd been under and now might be able to simply pull the net off of him - or it might be possible to simply Hulk out of the net, whichever seems more expedient.

I'll allow Tiffany to pull the net off McKieg on her next turn since she's still ostensibly holding the rope that it's attached to. Otherwise McKieg can try again with Escape Artist (DC 20) or try to break out with a Strength check (DC 25).

Meanwhile Aquas still tries to punch the Mohl'omog illusion; though he's intelligent enough to realize that something strange is going on he's still not able to pinpoint just what it might be.

Since it was asked in Hangouts earlier, yes, anyone that sees the Mohl'omog illusion for what it is may simply pass through it.

Wadi is UP!

Down Below

Finally deciding to take a risk here Wadi advances towards the illusionary monster and, closing his eyes, passes through it and the illusionary wall beyond. Giving the aquatic elemental a brief glare he turns his attention to what lurks inside...

Assuming Wadi sees the real Mohl’omog here...

...and quickly lets loose a barrage of fiery rays at it!

Cast Scorching Ray at the real thing.
Ranged Touch, Bless, IC: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 8
Fire damage: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 4, 6) = 18
SR check: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 2 = 23

Deciding to heed McKieg's suggestion Wadi takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and walks through not only the illusory Mohl'omog - though there's a bit of a chill as he does - and the illusory wall that the group had detected earlier. Even though it still looks like the wall is there, behind him, Wadi knows that he can just as easily walk back through it again if he needs to.

But right now he's got bigger fish to fry. As soon as he steps through the wall and opens his eyes he sees, still lying atop the massive bier that Luurg had described earlier, another Mohl'omog! Hoping that this one is the real deal, the sorcerer fires off a fiery ray that strikes the massive monstrosity and leaves a massive burnt patch of skin!

Outside and around the bend in the passageway Gerlach grapples with being caught between a croc and a Luurg-face as he tries once more to cast in a defensive pose but once again fumbles his spell!

Adyr is UP!

Down Below

Adyr will keep up his bardic performance and will attempt to follow Wadi's lead and 'walk' through the illusion- which he thinks might still be real.

If that works, Adyr will cast his Glitter Dust on the 'Real' Mohl'omog.
SR CHECK: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

I've been rolling the saves vs. illusions for the group (factoring in bonuses such as McKieg's) and everyone is now aware that both the wall and the Mohl'omog out in the passageway are illusions.

Following Wadi's lead, Adyr passes through the illusory Mohl'omog and then the illusory wall to see - just as expected - the real deal still lying atop the bier inside his hidden chamber. Though still likely blinded from being attached to his Projected Image, Adyr decides to try and make extra sure by conjuring a burst of glitter atop the beast.

And though Mohl'omog finds himself now covered in sparkly glitter, he manages to resist getting it into any of his three eyes. Somehow.

But on the bright side, whatever he'd been doing earlier seems to have been disrupted by Wadi showing up and blasting him with fire. And now that his true form has been attacked, the three eyes blink and focus in on Wadi as the beast drops all pretense and simply begins lashing out with numerous tentacles!

Tentacle #1 vs. Wadi: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Tentacle #2 vs. Wadi: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Tentacle #3 vs. Wadi: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Tentacle #4 vs. Wadi: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Not only does the sorcerer receive a rather sound thrashing from all four tentacles, whose reach is unnervingly large, but at their touch he feels his very skin beginning to soften and change...

Wadi, please make a DC 20 Fort save x4 until you either fail one or succeed at them all.

Luurg, Wadi, Tiffany + Crocodilla, Sheela + Aquas and McKieg are UP!

Down Below

Fort save DC 20: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

His CON damage of -4 means he loses 12 HP from both Current and Max HP so he is now at -3 HP and Dying...

Wadi is unable to stay conscious as he collapses here...his skin slowly beginning to transform into a clear, slimy membrane!

Sheela sees Gerlach is under control for now when she hears Wadi scream as... something wallops him. She moves ahead and draws a wand. But he's too far away!

Aquas, meanwhile, realizes the real target is over there. It moves up and tries to punch the big fishything.
5 ft step used
Slam, Water Mastery, Bless, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 29
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 7

Crit?: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 8

Assuming pulling the net off is a standard action

"You got it, McKieg! Get out there, be free, and kick some fish-face butt!" Tiffany inspires, pulling the net off the dwarf. "As for me, I've got another trick up my sleeve. One that involves not being commanded by some gross thing!" The grippli pads along towards the illusion to get a better view.

Meanwhile, Crocodilla again tries to give Gerlach the old snap-and-slap.

Bite, Flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 101d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Grab?: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Tail Slap, Flank: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 151d12 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

... And again fails to land a hit.

As soon as the first tentacle slap connects against Wadi's skin he feels himself beginning to change, his skin starting to grow more translucent...but more immediately, this strange effect saps some of his vitality away and leaves him weakened. Now more vulnerable to the remaining tentacles than before, he's swiftly pummeled into unconsciousness and collapses to the ground, bleeding out. But at least he didn't fall further into the water!

Out in the corridor Sheela hustles forward towards the illusory wall and the sounds of battle on the other side but it's slow going thanks to all the water in this section of the underground. Now finally aware that the real threat lies elsewhere, Aquas wills himself to pass through the illusory wall where he can now see what's going on. He swiftly zips up to Mohl'omog and gives him a sound punch on the snoot...or whatever might pass for a snoot.

Meanwhile Crocodilla continues to snap and slap at Gerlach, unable to catch a mouthful of the wily skum, while Tiffany obligingly frees McKieg from the net she'd tossed over him.

Luurg and McKieg are UP!

Down Below

"Thanks, Princess," McKieg says and sloshes through the shallow water.

Using his holy symbol of crystals as a focus, and with a murmured prayer to Yuelral the Wise, the warpriest sends a burst of radiance into the cavern. The brilliant flash of shimmering light explodes next to the god-creature Mohl’omog.

Damage, if evil: 5d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 2, 2) = 14
Reflex DC15 or blinded for 1d4 ⇒ 2 rounds; if successful, dazzled for 1d4 ⇒ 1 rounds.

Luurg keeps working New Spear into the soft underbelly of Gerlack, or tries to, as the pink croc flails about with lots of teeth.

New Spear: 10' reach, PA, Enlarge, Mutagen, Inspire, Flank, Heroism: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 302d6 + 7 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5, 6) + 7 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 32

"What happenin' up dare guys? OK? Ok."

McKieg sloshes forward a little more and, even though he can't actually see through the illusory wall, manages to fling a burst of radiant light through it. There's a small explosive shock that can be heard, even if it can't be seen by anyone but Adyr, and a pained screech echoes in each of your minds!

Further back Luurg continues to work on Gerlach with his New Spear, skewering the skum again like a kebab! Now dripping blood into the water, Gerlach once more adopts a defensive position as he attempts to cast a spell...and then reaches out to swipe at Luurg with a clawed hand!

Attack vs. Luurg (Melee Touch): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 6) = 17

It's a clumsy swipe but Gerlach still manages to tag the enlarged half-orc, draining away some of his vitality in the process!

Adyr is UP!

Down Below

Seeing Wadi fall causes the arcane medic to spring into action. His training and experience takes over... Adyr takes a tactical 5-foot step backwards to render aid to his fallen comrade (if it won't provoke- Adyr would try to drag Wadi back a few squares before healing him.

"Invernum Arcanum Medicus!

Adyr uses to rounds of his bardic performance to cast Cure Light Wounds (as a spell-like ability) on Wadi.

Cure Light Wounds (as arcane healer): 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Spellcraft vs Gerlach, heroism, muta: 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 2 - 1 = 18

Luurg's headband manages to translate just what spell he just got tagged with. "Oooo you a vampire ting mang? Dat not gud fer you."

Faced with a downed comrade and a sea of waving tentacles Adyr wisely falls back a pace and uses some of his own innate power to channel healing energy into Wadi's unconscious form. The sorcerer's bleeding stops and Wadi's eyes flutter open; he finds himself on the cold, wet floor of the passage with Adyr standing over him and Mohl'omog still flailing his tentacles too close for comfort.

Its eyes clouded over by the effects of McKieg's spell, Mohl'omog is unable to see but the creature can still presumably hear. It tries to lash out at the only target it can hear within reach - the water elemental Aquas.

Concealment (50%; Low is Bad for Me): 1d100 ⇒ 1
Tentacle #1 vs. Aquas: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Concealment (50%; Low is Bad for Me): 1d100 ⇒ 39
Tentacle #2 vs. Aquas: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Concealment (50%; Low is Bad for Me): 1d100 ⇒ 59
Tentacle #3 vs. Aquas: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Concealment (50%; Low is Bad for Me): 1d100 ⇒ 22
Tentacle #4 vs. Aquas: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

Though Aquas does get his bell rung once, but good, the rest of the tentacles manage to miss the mark and leave the elemental to fight on just a little bit longer!

Luurg, Wadi, Tiffany + Crocodilla, Sheela + Aquas and McKieg are UP!

Down Below

McKieg wades through the water, ignoring the illusory beast and the wall, entering Mohl’omog's lair, his dwarven longaxe ready, if the god-beast tries to get closer.

Double move.

"Okay, maybe I can help Wadi." Sheela whispers as she approaches the sorcerer.

UMD, DC 20: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Some of Wadi's bruises close as he is healed.

Slam, Water Mastery: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10
Aquas reels back as it's slapped silly.

Luurg pulls out New Spear then promptly reinserts it into the belly of Gerlach after the vampire fish mang steals some of his blood. "Luurg not likin' blood suckers. Luurg werk real gud makin' blood, stealin' it not ok. Ok?"

New Spear: 10' reach, PA, Enlarge, Mutagen, Inspire, Flank, Heroism: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 282d6 + 7 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3, 5) + 7 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 29

While McKieg moves to help the others against Mohl'omog Sheela creeps up and uses her wand to further heal Wadi of some of his injuries; it's a bit disconcerting for Wadi since Sheela is still invisible but the healing is certainly welcome!

Aquas tries to give as good as he got but he's still seeing stars from the tentacle-slap and can't land a hit on the freakishly large horror from the depths.

Meanwhile Luurg seems to have Gerlach well in hand; another stab with New Spear leaves the skum looking in pretty bad shape in spite of the energy he siphoned from Luurg!

Wadi and Tiffany + Crocodilla are UP!

Down Below

As yet unwilling to fry the fish-god (and incinerate Aquas in the process, Wadi decides to set the disgusting beast on fire instead.

Cast Spontaneous Immolation at the creature. It takes Fire damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 4) = 8 and catches on fire. DC 16 Fortitude save reduces this damage by half and prevents the target from catching on fire.
Concentrate: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
SR check: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 2 = 10

Tiffany ventures into the illusionary Mohl'omog, cringing as if still grossed out even if it is fake. "Okay McKieg, I gotta make up the whole trapping-you-in-a-net shenanigans to you somehow, so take this!" She taps the dwarf on the shoulder.

Bull's Strength on McKieg

Meanwhile, Crocodilla continues to harry Gerlach...
Bite, Flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 = 271d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Crit?: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 141d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Grab: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
Tail Slap: 1d20 + 0 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 0 + 2 = 71d12 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
This time, the croc closes its jaws around Gerlach's leg and twists for effect!

"Thanks, Princess!" McKieg says, thrilled as his muscle get all swoll.
