Vin feels several waves of nausea surge through him but he fights the worst of it off.
Vin is sickened.
Watching Vin's reaction to picking up the stat unsettles Otto.
Let us protect Vinyarion and get out of here . . .
Descend the tower unless there are objections.
You don't look so good Vin. My gran always gave me crackers when I looked like that. Let's move out Otto!
let us proceed down to where we entered...colm and otto lead the way...i will help Vin down behind you....if we encounter trouble we can go back to the room with the false wall and exit that way with a rope...
Just as the party finalizes their plans and is about to leave a large half-orc flanked by a pair of club wielding humans arrives outside the magical set of doors blocking your exit.
Half-orc: “Looks like someone got here before us, eh boys? I suppose we should just turn around and go home empty handed, har-har! “
Human on left: “Let me kill’em boss.”
Human on right: “No boss, let me kill’em.”
Half-orc: “Where are your manners boys? Har-har! Alright you lot, give me the star metal and I let you crawl back to whatever hole you creeped out of, otherwise I let Brutus and Crutus here sate their homicidal desires.”
Any homo sating here will be done by Carbour.
Attack!
on half-orc
-2/11HP; sickened
Vinyarion fires a jet of acid at the human on the right before anyone gets into melee.
DC 15 FORT or be sickened
Seeing Colm go for the half orc and the acid fly at the human on the right, Otto decides to engage the human on the left.
@$@#
Otto’s whip lashes the man on the left obliterating his face and dropping him to the ground.
Colm and Vin’s attacks narrowly miss.
Carbour twists his ankle awkwardly as he moves forward. -2 to attack next round
On Carbour
On Colm, the half-orc tries to roast Colm in his armor as flames burst from his fingertips.
DC 14 reflex for 1/2 dam
Carbour attacks half orc
Attack!
-4/23 hp
Amazed at the difficulty of striking any potential foe and realizing that he might do more harm than good in melee given his sickened condition, Vinyarion stands by with some healing if needed.
-2 to my attack for a 20 total
Otto moves to assist Colm:
Colm, Carbour and Otto all converge upon and batter the half-orc wounding it three times while Vin stands ready to assist.
The unattended man moves to engage Vin but swings wildly.
The half-orc sprays flames at Colm and Carbour!
DC 14 reflex for 1/2 damage
Otto moves to protect Vinyarion.
Attack!
Die you flaming scoundrel!
-7/23
Otto’s whips at the man from behind wrapping it around his throat and then jerks it back snapping his neck.
Colm’s scimitar slashes down the half-orc’s chest leaving a gaping wound that finishes him.
Otto searches the bodies:
Otto finds 2 sets of usable scale mail, 50 gp in coin and a potion of some sort.
-2/11HP; sickened
~detect magic~
+1 for guidance
Let's get back to the ship, shore, and some wine. Maybe some of those crackers too; I feel like I'm going to vomit.
Vin detects magic on the potion and determines it contains 2 doses of a water breathing/swim potion.
down to the entryway...and row away and signal
I'll take that potion, if you don't mind. Getting in a boat with this metal shell on makes me a bit nervous.
If there are no objections, Colm takes the potion.
Otto agrees and moves with the party to leave the tower.
The group makes its way back down to the docks to find 7 rats between them and the boat, another slightly smaller boat is also tied up at the dock. Otto spots the rats before they notice the party.
Party action.
Vinyarion casts ~grease~ (10' square) trying to catch as many of the rodents as possible.
https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/g/grease/
Vin is able to cast grease on 4 of the critters, 2 nimbly move out of the greased area and 2 slip and slide into the water. Post your DC next time Vin, think its 14.
Action for everyone except Vin, there are 5 rats between you and your boat.
Sorry, would have been DC15 REF.
Otto moves to fight the rats, avoiding the greased area if possible.
me too

Two of the three remaining rats go down and the last one seemingly recognizes the hopelessness of continuing the fight and scurries off.
Otto checks to see if our boat was sabotaged:
He also takes a look at the smaller boat for any goodies, traps, etc.:
Any interest in trying to take their boat for sale?
-sickened-
Fighting back some bile-Yes, we should absolutely take the boat. To the victor the spoils and all that. Let's go.
*Clarification from Colm, when you said you were taking the potion did you mean to drink it or just take it into your possession?
Otto doesn't see any signs of sabotage in your boat.
He does find some fishing gear and 50' of bloodvine rope in the other boat.
Any other actions from Colm and Carbour before leaving? Are you going to tow the other boat or is the group going to split up into 2 different boats? Max capacity of the other boat is 3 persons.
-putting it in an easy spot to get to if needed, not drinking yet-
I say we tow it...
yes....tow it....after securing the item then signal with a light
