[Module] The Storm Chronicles (Ire of the Storm plus Seers of the Drowned City) by GM Rutseg (Inactive)

Game Master Balacertar

Magdi chants another spell, unleashing a burst of guiding warmth that bolsters his allies.

Casting bless again. Duration is 7 minutes.

Tonny consumes an extract and his arms grow in length considerably, his whip already menacing around the strange aquatic oozes.

More of Adriana's wounds disappear by judgment of the Dawnflower, while she squeezes between the wall and the reach of the creatures. Reaching the one in front, her slash cuts one good chunk of the carcass.

Magdi conjures the spirits of the cave waters asking to guide the group in combat. You see the waves in the cave start to push the globsters, putting them closer to Tewa's and Adriana's blades.

Yellow: 11 damage
Red: 20 damage
Party buffs: water breathing 4-6 h, Opportune Advice (+1 insight AC and saves) r4, bless 7 min
Adriana: 31/52 hp; warding hex (+2 def. AC), judgment (fast healing 3), divine favor r8
Magdi: sickened r10
Tewa: sickened r10
Round 2: Jonah, Tonny, Adriana, Tewa, Magdi, Globsters

Jonah and Tewa to go!

Tewa winds up for another powerful swing, aiming to hack the entire glob in half with a single swing.

Attack with Kuye Lam (power attack, sickened): 1d20 + 11 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 - 2 - 2 = 26
Damage (power attack, sickened): 2d6 + 8 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (5, 5) + 8 + 6 - 2 = 22
Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 11 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 2 - 2 = 16
Crit Damage: 2d6 + 8 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + 8 + 6 - 2 = 19

Jonah kneels down and begins speaking slowly and carefully, his lips forming a spell he has not done before. he hopes that this new magic will be effective!
begin casting summon nature's ally II

Meanwhile rosemary continues to harras the monster from the air!

bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1d4 ⇒ (3) + 1 + (4) = 8 second D4 is acid, and will continue to do acid damage for another round
crit??: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
crit damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

talon: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

talon: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

With a resolved movement of her blade, Tewa cuts through the carcass in front splitting it in two with a single blow! The remains of the ooze are taken by the waves.

While Jonah starts saying words invoking the forces of nature, Rosemary flies over the next one sinking her beak in the dead flesh. Despite the acid seems to not affect the ooze, the bird's bite causes considerable damage.

The remaining globster reaches for Adriana.
slam: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 182d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 6) + 9 = 18
But Magdi's warding hex materialzes with a splash from the waves that deflects the attack just in the last moment!

Yellow: 20 damage, considerably damaged
Red: 61 damage, destroyed
Party buffs: water breathing 4-6 h, Opportune Advice (+1 insight AC and saves) r4, bless 7 min
Adriana: 31/52 hp; warding hex (+2 def. AC), judgment (fast healing 3), divine favor r8
Magdi: sickened r10
Tewa: sickened r10
Rosemary: acid maw 5 min
Round 3: Jonah, Tonny, Adriana, Tewa, Magdi, Globsters

The party is up!

I love all the descriptions with the waves and what they're doing!

Tonny gulps, steps in behind Tewa, and flails his noodle-arm wildly!

Whip, Bless vs Yellow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 = 18
Nonlethal Slashing damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1

Magdi hesitates a moment, frowning. "Had I known that we'd fight these things, I'd've prepared other spells." He curses under his breath before taking a short step forwards. After this, I'll commune with a spirit to get some sort of help with more adaptable enemies.

He swallows hard, struggling against the sickening stench of the oozes, before casting another spell, this one barely more than a cantrip, and granting Tonny a bit more accuracy with divine guidance.

5 foot step and casting guidance on Tonny. My spells are all aimed at dragon-fighting/resisting emotions today!

Tonny's whip slashes at the remaining creature, opening a small wound in the carcass, in good measure with the help of Magdi.

Yellow: 20 (NL 1) damage, considerably damaged
Party buffs: water breathing 4-6 h, Opportune Advice (+1 insight AC and saves) r4, bless 7 min
Adriana: 31/52 hp; warding hex (+2 def. AC), judgment (fast healing 3), divine favor r8
Magdi: sickened r10
Tewa: sickened r10
Rosemary: acid maw 5 min
Round 3: Jonah, Tonny, Adriana, Tewa, Magdi, Globsters

Jonah, Adriana and Tewa to go!

Jonah finishes his spell, and a wolf comes bounding out of the brush nearby. It is not a creature the group has seen before with Jonah, but it seems to be more than happy to join in the fight. it flanks the giant sludge monster with rosemary and bites down.

I don't know if these are immune to flanking or not, so subtract 2 from both animals' attacks if it is.

wolf bite: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 2 = 18
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Rosemary does a full attack
bite: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 13
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

talon: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

talon: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 = 12
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

wow, those are not great rolls...

Jonah himself doesn't have much to do, as none of his weapons do slashing damage... he hangs back for now

The sudden apparition of a wolf takes the globster by surprise, the new wild animal sinking its teeth on the creature, tearing apart a piece of dead flesh!

Fly DC 15 to hover: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Rosemary hovers skillfully over the globster, which allows her to fully attack the strange aquatic creature, but her talons and beak are little more than a distraction.

GMPC Adriana
More of Adriana's wounds heal thanks to Sarenrae's redemptive healing while the woman thrusts forward.
Scimitar Attack+DF+bane+bless: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 28
Magical/Slashing damage+DF+bane: 1d6 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 + 2 + (5, 4) = 19
The blade cuts deep through the carcass opening a wide gash.

GMPC Tewa
Tewa attempts to slash at the same time synchronously.
Attack with Kuye Lam (power attack, sickened): 1d20 + 11 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 11 - 2 - 2 = 8
Damage (power attack, sickened): 2d6 + 8 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (1, 5) + 8 + 6 - 2 = 18
But the stench seems too much for her seasoned sailor focus.

The globster retaliates against the faithful of Sarenrae.
Slam: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 162d6 + 9 ⇒ (3, 5) + 9 = 17
But protected by the powers of the waves and her faith in the Dawnflower, she blocks the attack and readies for more.

Yellow: 44 (NL 1) damage, badly damaged
Party buffs: water breathing 4-6 h, Opportune Advice (+1 insight AC and saves) r4, bless 7 min
Adriana: 33/52 hp; warding hex (+2 def. AC), judgment (fast healing 3), divine favor r8, bane 4/7
Magdi: sickened r10
Tewa: sickened r10
Rosemary: acid maw 5 min
Round 4: Jonah, Tonny, Adriana, Tewa, Magdi, Globsters

Everyone can act!

Tewa swings again with moderately better accuracy, but still likely not enough to cut through the big blob.

Attack with Kuye Lam (power attack, sickened): 1d20 + 11 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 11 - 2 - 2 = 12
Damage (power attack, sickened): 2d8 + 6 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (1, 7) + 6 + 6 - 2 = 18

Despite the big target being slow under the waves enraged by Magdi, Tewa's swing is still imprecise and finds only the salty air!

Jonah, Tonny, Adriana and Magdi are up!

Magdi considers his options briefly before moving forwards once more. Stopping behind Adrianna, he casts a minor spell, the last option available to him at the moment.

Casting guidance on Adrianna. Yeesh.

Tonny cracks his whip again and again - once directly at the blob, then in the air to its left to distract it from Adriana's (much more effective) attack.

Whip, Bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 1 = 17
Nonlethal Slashing damage: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Whip, Bless to Aid vs AC 10: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 = 25

Jonah continues to sit back, not knowing what more he can do to assist, while his animal friends harass the monster

the animals move to spots where they can get the best angle on attacking, and open up some flanking options for the team

wolf bite: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 2 = 11
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

rosemary bite: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 = 28
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
rosemary claw: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
rosemary claw: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 14
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Tonny strikes on the globster, but his whip just scratches a bit the creature.
Minimum damage is always 1 NL

Jonah's animals attack together, but only Rosemary manages a bite with her beak before repositioning to give a flank to Tewa.
Fly less than half speed DC 10: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
AoO: Slam: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 232d6 + 9 ⇒ (5, 5) + 9 = 19
The globster punish the hawk for that movement with a terrible slam.

Meanwhile Magdi and Tonny guide and aid Adriana, who sure will do something heroic with their help!

The globster keeps attacking, this time on Tewa.
Slam: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 102d6 + 9 ⇒ (1, 5) + 9 = 15
But the waves move the carcass away and the hit just lands on the ground!

Surprisingly, Tonny's whip is the most effective this time!

Yellow: 44 (NL 2) damage, badly damaged
Party buffs: water breathing 4-6 h, Opportune Advice (+1 insight AC and saves) r4, bless 7 min
Adriana: 35/52 hp; warding hex (+2 def. AC), judgment (fast healing 3), divine favor r8, bane 3/7
Magdi: sickened r10
Tewa: sickened r10
Rosemary: 16/35 hp; acid maw 5 min
Round 5: Jonah, Tonny, Adriana (x2), Tewa, Magdi, Globsters

Everyone is up! Adriana can post her round 4 along with round 5 actions.

Magdi considers for a moment. No, a wall won't be effective here. With a moment's concentration, he summons the healing spirits of life, sending a burst of positive energy out from his position.
Channel Energy: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 1, 6) = 17

At a bit of a loss, so I figure we might heal as many as I can. I'm pretty sure that heals everyone, except perhaps Jonah?

“Don’t… stop…” Tonny wheezes.

Whip, Bless to Aid Tewa vs AC 10: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 10

Whip, Bless to Aid Adriana vs AC 10: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 = 13

+2 to Tewa and Adriana’s next attacks!

the animals continue to fight. Rosemary took a bit of a hit, but the chanled healing brought her back almost to full health.

wolf bite: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

rosemary bite: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 2 = 20
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
rosemary claw: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 = 28
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
rosemary claw: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Jonah and Tonny were faster than Magdi, so they go first, and Rosemary tears down the creature with a powerful bite and claw slash!

Combat is over!

With the strange oozes destroyed, the carcasses drift away out of the cave, and Magdi can call the spirits to heal the party without affecting his enemies.

Yellow: 54 (NL 2) damage
Party buffs: water breathing 4-6 h, Opportune Advice (+1 insight AC and saves) r4, bless 7 min
Adriana: 52/52 hp; warding hex (+2 def. AC), judgment (fast healing 3), divine favor r8, bane 3/7
Magdi: sickened r10
Tewa: sickened r10
Rosemary: 33/35 hp; acid maw 5 min

Now, the group can have a more calm observation of the cave. The ceiling height within averages 15 feet, with muddy or slippery stone floors where the water itself doesn’t reach. This makes all of the floors inside the caves difficult terrain.

The ledge you are walking through ends in a cul-de-sac, but the opening at the north, full with a water current, shines with a green light like the one you spot in your vision.

"Are we in any special rush?" Magdi inquires. "I would like to spend some time communing with a spirit that might help me prove more useful in our next fight."

Specifically, he wants to use Spirit Talker to grab a hex that might be meaningful. Still figuring out which I'd go for.

"Um, maybe?" Tonny continues coiling his whip, squeezing water out of it as he goes. "Those globsters probably didn't come here naturally, so it would make sense that they'd be some kind of protection for the egg by the coven. Their destruction might have alerted the coven to our presence, but we might be able to evade them if we grab the egg quickly and move. We also need to get back to the thunderbird before they can intercept us."

Magdi starts saying strange words and prayers, the cave fills with a damped breeze that tastes salty in your lips. The spirits seems to answer the Yamasian.

What hex Magdi?

The only way forward seems the small tunnel to the west from where the green light sheds, but it is difficult to transit due to the current. Although not deep, about 5', the force of the water makes it difficult to move through.
Swim DC 10, or you can also try to climb, fly, etc...

Magdi takes a few seconds in deciding which spirits to contact, before settling on those of battle and blood.

Going to choose Hampering Hex.

"Alright, I'm prepared." He rises to his feet. "Let's continue before our foes arrive to stop us."

Jonah will go to scout ahead a bit.

swim: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
survival: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

He looks for signs of other creatures, then signals back to the group if it looks clear.

Magdi could have called the spirits before entering the cave so your magic is mostly still ongoing. But you would have most probably waited for Adriana and Tewa to recover from the sick feeling, which means the wolf howls and runs away from the cave as the magical effect dissipates.

Jonah makes it into the water, and swims with ease through the tunnel to reach the cavern at the other side while Rosemary flies close to him.

G2. Inner Sanctum
This cavern echoes with the sound of water sloshing against the edge of a fungus-encrusted beach of slippery, shiny gravel to the west. Thick tangles of roots, infested with filaments of pale fungus, hang from the cave roof, much of it glowing with a soft green light. Near the west wall, amid a heap of glistening fungal growths, nestles a four-foot-tall sky-blue egg, its speckled surface periodically sparkling with tiny tendrils of electricity.

The insubstantial specter of a woman bathed in sickly green sparks (picture electricity instead of fire going around her body), floats just off the ground next to the egg, whispering blasphemies to it.

Jonah's stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Perception-distance: 1d20 + 18 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 18 - 2 = 28

The creature raises her head to look at the hunter, and receives him with a shriek, the green electricity that shrouds her body further filling the room with disconcerting illumination.

As the electricity crackles around, her voice sounds otherworldly, filling the room with a sense of imminent doom "You are not taking my egg! Spirits of the death, come to me in aid!"

Party buffs: water breathing 4-6 h, bless 5 min
Adriana: 52/52 hp; warding hex (+2 def. AC), bane 3/7
Magdi:
Tewa:
Rosemary: 33/35 hp; acid maw 3 min
Round 1: Spectral woman, Jonah, Adriana, Tonny, Tewa, Magdi

Remember, you can swim DC 10 for half speed, or if trying to wade (the water covers more than half the body and there are currents) you can advance 5' with a move action.

Earlier:
With the prospect of more swimming ahead, Tonny gets to work brewing himself a vial of monkey fish extract. (Takes 1 minute to brew, but will give the drinker 10 ft climb and swim speeds.)

Now:
"That doesn't sound good!" Tonny almost ties himself in a knot as his elongated arms search for something. "I just put it away, where did it go, is that it, maybe, yes!" He gulps down the extract, then shivers as his fingers begin to grow webbing and hooked nails. "Ooo, that's... an experience." Carefully he walks along the shore as far as he can before plunging into the water, remembering at the last minute to keep his head above the waves.

Standard to drink extract of monkey fish, move action to move.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

"You're right." Magdi grimaces, diving into the water to follow the other two.

I can't fail the Swim to go half speed, but I'll go for both actions to swim to my new position.

"We've got company! Jonah yells to the others to get them to come in if they haven't seen already. Another electric spirit of some kind!

Then he shoots it.

+1 underwater crossbow, DA, PbS, Rapid: 1d20 + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 19
damage: 1d10 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 4 = 9
+1 underwater crossbow, DA, PbS, Rapid: 1d20 + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 23
damage: 1d10 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 4 = 10
+1 underwater crossbow, DA, PbS, iterative shot: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 12
damage: 1d10 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 1 + 4 = 14

He signals Rosemary to hang back, assuming that this thing is probably not going to be harmed by the bird's non-magical attacks.

Tonny and Magdi move into the water after taking some previsions to make their trip easier.

Jonah loses no time and starts shooting bolts at the wicked creature. The thing proofs to be much more difficult to target than expected and the bolts get deflected, hitting all at the wall behind her. AC

I forgot the knowledge check before, sorry!

Party buffs: water breathing 4-6 h, bless 5 min
Adriana: 52/52 hp; warding hex (+2 def. AC), bane 3/7

Rosemary: 33/35 hp; acid maw 3 min
Round 1: Spectral woman, Jonah, Adriana, Tonny, Tewa, Magdi

Adriana and Tewa to go!

Tewa takes to the water like a fish. Double move. She can take 10 on swim in combat due to her trait which is enough to swim half speed

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

”That’s an electrical version of a witchfire—a witchlightning I suppose?—and she’s summoning something.”

Tewa throws herself into the waters and starts swimming the passage to the other cave.

GMPC Adriana
Swim+swimming ring: 1d20 + 13 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 13 + 5 = 37
Adriana follows swift, her light armor and ring of swimming helping her win the waters more easily. She calls for the justice of the Dawnflower, activating her goddess judgement.

Summoning chance 50%: 1d100 ⇒ 85
The summoning finishes, and the witchlightning seems frustrated as nothing comes to her aid.

"You are to pay back with your lives!" the creature shouts with a very acute pitch, and starts to fly to the top of the cave's ceiling (her feet are 10' over the beach, her head is at the ceiling at 15').

Then the lightning around her body intensifies, menacing to shock anyone touching her.

Party buffs: water breathing 4-6 h, bless 5 min
Adriana: 52/52 hp; warding hex (+2 def. AC), bane 3/7, judgement (justice +2 sacred to hit)
Magdi:

Rosemary: 33/35 hp; acid maw 3 min
Round 1: Witchlightning, Jonah, Adriana, Tonny, Tewa, Magdi

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

"Don't hit her with a close melee weapon! She'll shock you!" The shaman calls, before drawing upon the powers of warfare he called up earlier and unleashing a hex on the undead.

He's using Hampering Hex - she takes a -2 penalty to AC and CMD for 7 rounds. If she makes a DC 17 Will save, it'll drop to 1 round instead.

Tonny continues to swim after Jonah - albeit with more splashing and flailing than is strictly necessary.

Double move

Will DC 17: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Cursing the electrical incorporeal, Magdi hampers temporarily the creature with a jinx.

Tonny swims through the waters reaching the cave with his abnormally long monkey arms.

Witchlighting: -2 AC r2
Party buffs: water breathing 4-6 h, bless 5 min
Adriana: 52/52 hp; warding hex (+2 def. AC), bane 3/7, judgement (justice +2 sacred to hit)

Rosemary: 33/35 hp; acid maw 3 min
Round 2: Witchlightning, Jonah, Adriana, Tonny, Tewa, Magdi

Jonah and Tewa to go! Not sure if Adriana will come back this time... it seems we have definitely lost her.

Despite not hitting last round, Jonah keeps shooting. maybe this thing can at least be injured by the magical crossbow, if he's able to aim a little better. rosemary is held back, as she probably can't do anything to the witchfire.

+1 underwater crossbow, DA, PbS, Rapid: 1d20 + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 26
damage: 1d10 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 4 = 6
+1 underwater crossbow, DA, PbS, Rapid: 1d20 + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 24
damage: 1d10 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 4 = 8
+1 underwater crossbow, DA, PbS, iterative shot: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 10
damage: 1d10 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 4 = 10

Jonah does not lose the time and starts shooting bolts at the flying witchlighting. His rushed bolts are too imprecise to land in target, but Magdi's curse is just enough to leave the witchlighting in a bad position. The first bolt lands on mark! The curse ends though just by then.

GMPC Adriana
Listening to Magdi's warning, Adriana prays the goddess to protect her, casting resist energy against electricity, while she continues advancing forward towards the ledge "I need to fly, or become large enough to reach her! Or maybe someone can make her go down a bit!"
Swim: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

Tewa does something heroic!

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25
"Ha ha ha! Do you think your petty prayers can protect you from my rage?!" the body of the flying witch crackles with electrical power, which goes down through her arms, and she shots at the first one in line, trying to test Adriana's magical defenses.
Witchbolt (touch): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
Electrical damage: 8d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 4, 1, 4, 2, 2) = 26
Adriana Will DC 24: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Despite the power of the shock, Adriana's magic stands firm and protects her from the worst of it.

The witch seems pissed of by that fact.

Witchlighting: 6 damage, barely scratched
Party buffs: water breathing 4-6 h, bless 5 min
Adriana: 46/52 hp; warding hex (+2 def. AC), bane 3/7, judgement (justice +2 sacred to hit), resist energy (20 electricity) 70 min

Rosemary: 33/35 hp; acid maw 3 min
Round 3: Witchlightning, Jonah, Adriana, Tonny, Tewa (x2), Magdi

Magdi swims over to the nearest spit of land, pulling himself out of the water as he eyes the witchlightning. What can I do here? He is struck by inspiration momentarily. Hopefully she can't do that again...

He begins chanting before unleashing the power of the spirits to dispel her crackling shield of electricity.
CL Check vs. 11+Her CL: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 I hope that works, but I somehow doubt it will. Damn.

Knowledge (religion), IML, Inspiration, Take 10 vs DC 20: 10 + 11 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 11 + 1 + (4) = 26

Tonny flounders up onto dry land next to Magdi, finally able to look at the green electric ghost. "A... witchfire..." he gasps. "Uh... try not to... point anything... metal at it?"

Move action to move, move action to activate Opportune Advice.

"don't point metal at it? how do we fight it if we don't use metal?? Jonah yells back to Tonny

He doesn't really have any other options, so he keeps shooting. at least one arrow did something.

+1 underwater crossbow, DA, PbS, Rapid: 1d20 + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 22
damage: 1d10 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 4 = 12
+1 underwater crossbow, DA, PbS, Rapid: 1d20 + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 24
damage: 1d10 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 4 = 8
+1 underwater crossbow, DA, PbS, iterative shot: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 10
damage: 1d10 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 4 = 8

“Well, because metal is conductive - it, uh, electricity flows through it really easily. Usually. Okay, not all metals, but I don’t think any of us have any of those because they’re horrifically expensive…”

It’s just flavor for the Opportune Advice - no worries about arrowheads and swords and the like. XD

@Magdi, check discussion

Tonny gives good advice, which is perhaps what helps one of Jonah's bolts trespass the incorporeal's formidable defenses. AC Still, the bolt does only half damage due to the incorporeal essence of the foe.

Witchlighting: 7 damage, barely scratched
Party buffs: water breathing 4-6 h, bless 5 min, opportune advice (+2 AC/saves)
Adriana: 46/52 hp; warding hex (+2 def. AC), bane 3/7, judgement (justice +2 sacred to hit), resist energy (20 electricity) 70 min
Magdi:
Tewa:
Tonny: longarm 7 min, monkey fish (Climb/Swim 10') 7 min
Rosemary: 33/35 hp; acid maw 3 min
Round 3: Witchlightning, Jonah, Adriana, Tonny, Tewa (x2), Magdi (reroll?)

Tewa turn the 1st

Tewa spends all her effort to rush forward through the water as fast as she can. Double move, can always take 10 on swim

Tewa turn the 2nd

Tewa continues moving towards the land and melee where she specializes. She grins as she pauses to cast a spell. ”I have a non-metal blade.” Casting Spiritual Weapon. Her patron is Kazutal, so it would be a machete with a 19-20/x2 crit modifier

SR Check (if needed): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Spiritual Weapon Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Damage (machete): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Using a Hero Point to reroll, as per GM's recommendation.

Dispel Magic vs. CL: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 The dice roller's not interested in letting me get away with this, evidently. Literally the same roll. xD

Tewa wades through the water as fast she can.

Magdi makes an heroic effort to bring down the witchlightning defenses, but the fate has decided it is a no this time.

By then, Tewa is already close enough to send a real danger towards the incorporeal witch, a single-blade made of pure force! The witch is ready though and dodges the attempt.

GMPC
Adriana struggles to see how to reach the incorporeal, but when she sees Tewa's spiritual weapon, she is inspired "Didn't we found a bead of force in the shipwreck? It might come handy here"

Unable to fly, she drops her scimitar in the water pool and brings her bow using bane to make the weapon magical "Dawnflower guide my arrows!"
Shortbow+bless+justice+bane: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 22
Magical/Piercing damage+bane: 1d6 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (2, 3) = 8
But the arrow lands only hitting the cave's wall.

"You meddlers, will not have the egg!" the witchlighting flies over and launches a second bolt at Adriana.
Witchbolt (touch): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
Electrical damage: 8d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 2, 4, 1, 2, 6) = 21
Adriana Will DC 24: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
This time Adriana endures the effect once more, despite the bolt hits her for good, and the witchlighting really seems raging for that.

Witchlighting: 7 damage, barely scratched
Party buffs: water breathing 4-6 h, bless 5 min, opportune advice (+2 AC/saves)
Adriana: 45/52 hp; warding hex (+2 def. AC), bane 4/9, judgement (justice +2 sacred to hit), resist energy (20 electricity) 70 min
Magdi:
Tewa: spiritual weapon r11
Tonny: longarm 7 min, monkey fish (Climb/Swim 10') 7 min
Rosemary: 33/35 hp; acid maw 3 min
Round 4: Witchlightning, Jonah, Adriana, Tonny, Tewa, Magdi

"She won't leave the egg!" Tonny yells, cracking his whip and hoping the witchshock won't realize it can't affect her until too late. "That means her mobility is limited - pin her in!"

Whip, Insight to Aid Tewa's Next Attack vs AC 10: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 4 = 29
Whip, Insight to Aid Adriana's Next Attack vs AC 10: 1d20 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 4 = 12

Swift action and Inspiration to activate Inspirational Expertise, giving everyone a +4 insight bonus to hit the witchlightning for 1 round, Move action to Aid, Standard action to Aid.

Jonah is encouraged that one of his bolts did at least something so he keeps the pressure on

+1 underwater crossbow, DA, PbS, Rapid: 1d20 + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 28
damage: 1d10 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 4 = 6
+1 underwater crossbow, DA, PbS, Rapid: 1d20 + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 18
damage: 1d10 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 1 + 4 = 15
+1 underwater crossbow, DA, PbS, iterative shot: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 9
damage: 1d10 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 1 + 4 = 14

Tonny releases a powerful advise that encourages the group to find the demise of the undead creature. The half-elf's whip slashes in the air, even though not magical, still looking menacing to the witchlightning.

Mewanwhile, Jonah continues unleashing bolts from his crossbow, but only one manages to pierce through the undead's defenses. half damage

With Tonny's inspiration, Adriana takes the chance to call for a more destructive blessing from her goddess releasing a new arrow.
Shortbow+bless+bane+Inspirational Expertise+aid: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 + 1 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 31
Magical/Piercing damage+bane+destruction: 1d6 + 2 + 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (1, 4) + 3 = 14
The arrow cuts through the incorporeal loaded with magical bane destruction. still half damage only

Despite the ranged attacks efforts, the incorporeal witch still looks far away from the true death.

Witchlighting: 17 damage, barely scratched
Party buffs: water breathing 4-6 h, bless 5 min, opportune advice (+2 AC/saves), Inspirational Expertise (+4 to hit) r5
Adriana: 45/52 hp; warding hex (+2 def. AC), bane 3/9, judgement (destruction +3 sacred to damage), resist energy (20 electricity) 70 min
Magdi:
Tewa: spiritual weapon r11
Tonny: longarm 7 min, monkey fish (Climb/Swim 10') 7 min
Rosemary: 33/35 hp; acid maw 3 min
Round 4: Witchlightning, Jonah, Adriana, Tonny, Tewa, Magdi

Sorry for the delay, lots of stuff happening this past few days.

Magdi hesitates for a breath, before slipping back into the water and unleashing a burst of life-giving energy - focusing it on harming the undead witchlightning.

Channel vs. Undead: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 6) = 12 Will DC 15 to halve the damage.

Will DC 15: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Magi releases a wave of positive energy that fills the cave making burn the strange electrical spirit. Although she seems to resist part of it, the positive energy is fully effective making it burn in light!

Tewa does something heroic!

On face of Adriana's resistance and the wave of energy burning on her, the witchling changes her focus to Magdi "Ah! A cleric we have! Die then my sacred pal!" she extends her hand and an electrical arc jumps from there towards the human while she laughs malevolently "HaHaHaHaHa!"
Witchbolt: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
Electrical damage: 8d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 6, 5, 4, 6, 5) = 31
The bolt strikes true make Magdi's body to shake under the shock!
Will DC 24 or become sickened and vulnerable to electricity for 10 min

Witchlighting: 23 damage, slightly damaged
Party buffs: water breathing 4-6 h, bless 5 min, opportune advice (+2 AC/saves), Inspirational Expertise (+4 to hit) r5
Adriana: 45/52 hp; warding hex (+2 def. AC), bane 3/9, judgement (destruction +3 sacred to damage), resist energy (20 electricity) 70 min
