Bozzinator's Ruins of Azlant Extravaganza

Game Master Bozzinator

Rhys has no preference.

"Uh, maybe the naga? If'n that was their home, maybe they can tell us the lay out. Secret tunnels an' whatnot."

Atlan will start to tap his trident against the ground and start flexing and letting out a ferocious battle cry.

I hate sanguines, They have been a enemy to my people all our lives. Lets slay some beasts!

To the group
I do believe speaking to the Naga first would be best

I like that idea! Definite layout of the place and maybe a first-hand account of type and numbers of opponents. Much better than finding out after we open the door.

"Yes, of course."

Koloshkora says she will be right back. She goes to talk to her people and then she is ready to go. As you get closer to the lair you see.

A five-foot-wide cave in the tide-battered cliffs opens into a partially flooded grotto lined with glistening calcite columns and hanging moss. At the back of the cave stand a collection of ancient statuettes, pieces of decorative masonry, and other small pieces of rusted artifice.

What do you guys do?

In Aquan "Hello, Vriskirsa? Do you have a few moments to speak to some of your new neighbors on this island?"

You all see a large Naga come to meet you.
See Picture on Slide 1

"Hello, I'm Vriskirsa. I am glad to have guests, it has definitely been awhile. What bring you all to see me? I'm glad to see a peaceful aquatic race for a change."

<Aquan> "Hi, hello, yes! We have traveled from the other side of the island and met with these fine people..." Eustice says and indicates their new traveling companion. " Who have made us aware of a common enemy we all share in the form of the Sahuaghin. We came to propose a fellowship to the purpose of eradicating the problem. Having learned of your enlightened presence and in the efforts of maintaining good diplomacy amongst the enlightened inhabitants of the island, we wish to enlist your aid in the endeavor."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

Fang stays towards the back, trying to look impressive, while the breeze ripples his clothes.

"Yes I need to get rid of those sahuagin pests. This place is fine but being driven from my home is not something that I particularly cared for. Since you would be helping me with this venture, in eliminating the sahuagin, I can offer you 2 of my treasures to choose from as a token of thanks."

She takes you to another room and you see a statuette of what appears to be an Azlanti noble marked with the words "High Governor of Thespera" on its base, silver holy symbol of Amaznen, and several pieces of carved masonary and bas-reliefs depicting cavalry soldiers in charge against serpentfolk. There are also other items that are laid out and they are a Clear Spindle Ioun Stone, Pearl Dolphin Figurine of Wonderous Power, +1 Ring of Protection, and a Seafoam Shawl.

"This shawl would be quite useful for you, Fang."

My votes are the Pearl Dolphin (most expensive) and Seafoam Shawl. The Clear Spindle is great, especially since we have access to wayfinders. I can also see the argument for grabbing the ring of prot if anyone is worried about their AC, but those tend to be plentiful.

I agree. Those items would prove very useful to some members of the party.

Fang looks down to his tail and fins, then over at Rhys, "You don't like em? Well... I s'pose bein' able to move quicker on land'd be useful."

sounds like a good option for me, and yeah, the dolphin would also be nice for someone

She will let you take those 2 items. "I see that there are a few of you that are not aquatic. I can cast Water Breathing on you 2 as well as your companion if you would like. Also I would be ready to head out when you are ready."

"That would be very helpful, thank you."

Will cast touch of the sea prior to jumping into the water on both Rhys and Esgidiau, spending 4 magnesium to bump these to 5 minute duration.

"Quite generous indeed. Lets us make quick work of this grim business."

"Is it just the sahuagin? Or do they have other allies or pets that we may encounter? Did you happen to notice any that were casting spells?"

"I have only seen sahuagins but I know that they have a pet but have never seen it. I have not seen any of them cast spells though."

You all head out towards the reef area. Vriskirsa will cast Water Breathing on Mary Kay, Rhysfar, and Esgidiau when you get close to the reef. The reef is about 15ft below the surface.

Slide 1 is updated

The Ershrani Reef is a sprawling series of twisting, serpentine ridges bristling with a vibrant rainbow of sea life. Tall stands of vermilion kelp drift in the ocean currents, schools of tiny fish glitter like a spray of silver knives as they swim past, and the multicolored symphony of coral polyps, spines, and pillars create an otherworldly landscape. In the distance, the dark hulk of a wrecked sailing vessel stands out against the sea of life and color.

As you approach you see 6 creatures that look to be patrolling the area. As you get closer they notice you.

Everyone is up.

Esgidiau swims forward, attacking Blue. Swim speed from touch of the sea, so charging.

Bite: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 = 26
Piercing damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Rhys follows. Swim speed, but not charging.

Lots of enemies, so worth a little boost. Swift for Animal Focus: Bull for the +2 to Strength.

Attack, underwater penalties, not power attacking, outflank: 1d20 + 8 - 2 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 8 - 2 + 4 = 26
Slashing damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 divided by 2

On the off chance that these are Monstrous Humanoids instead of humanoids,

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Mary Kay brings out an iron mask and uses that for the focus to cast Aid on Atlan.

+1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saves against fear effects
Temp HP: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Arcane Bolt 9 | Sorcerer 8/4

Edited as I also forgot the knowledge check and I do handle humanoids!
Knowledge(Religion or Local): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 +2 if arcane

Seeing the threats ranged out in front, Fang gives a toothy smile while charging up a blast.

not gathering power, adding thundering infusion to gain 1 burn, which will activate the elemental overflow

Ranged vs Touch: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 14
Elec: 2d6 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6, 3) + 2 + 2 + 1 = 14

shooting at blue, or at yellow if blue is down already. creatures that fail to identify my attack are flat-footed to the invisible, first blast. as most of the components are treated like spells, I’m going to guess it’d be a spellcraft or possibly arcana to identify

Fang then swims back 10ft.

Sahuagin
LE Medium Monstrous Humanoid (Aquatic)
Rhysfar gets 3 questions because Knowledge Nature to ID

Esigdiau and Rhysfar attack Blue and get him on his last leg and Fang is able to finish him off. Mary Kay is able to aid Atlan and give him Temp HP

Sneak Attack: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8

Eustice casts Bless to benefit his allies, including Vriskirsa and Koloshkora. I think its safe to assume we would have had weapons ready. Eustice would have had his long Spear out and ready.
Knowledge Nature to ID: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

He swims forward.

I can remake my character but I can't get the dice roller to love me...

Blindsense - 30ft
-Blood Frenzy - Once per day, a sahuagin that takes damage in combat can fly into a frenzy in the following round. It gains +2 Constitution and +2 Strength, but takes a –2 penalty to its AC. The frenzy lasts as long as the battle or 1 minute, whichever is shorter.

Eustice swims to get a clear line of attack on orange and strikes out with his long spear assisting Rhys on his next attack roll.
Long Spear: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 1 = 10

Swimming forward in a powerful burst, Fang launches a blast at whatever target is still available? Yellow > orange > red. Bonuses would apply to any, so no change to results

Ranged vs Touch: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 13

Slashing: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 Divided by 2

"Detect magic and loot gear, or just make a pile and keep moving? My spell on Atlan is of moderate duration, so he is buffed for awhile."

Arcane Bolt 9 | Sorcerer 7/4 (for either option0

Orange is the most dead.

Out of Combat

Looking over the bodies in total you find 6 Tridents, 6 Heavy Crossbows and 60 bolts.

There are 3 different locations you can go in this area. Each side of the broken ship is a separate area and then on the other side of the ship. Where to next?

Fang starts swimming towards the large broken ship.

start on the left side and work out way across the map?

Rhys will cast barkskin on the way. Not sure how much time has elapsed on my two touch of the sea effects.

Active Effects
touch of the sea Rhys, 5 minutes?
touch of the sea Esgidiau, 5 minutes?
barkskin Rhys, 40 minutes
Current AC 20, Swim Speed 30 ft.

I would say it would only be 2-3 minutes with the swimming, fighting and looting if you grabbed the stuff or just left it for later.
