GM Silbeg's IF Sundered Waves (Inactive)

Game Master Silbeg

That's the order I did place them in. Can't get onto roll20 right now to check the handouts due to computer issues. I should be able to tomorrow.

Kaako squawks "Just make sure to leave the platinum comet last, no matter how ya rearrange them."

As Lavanna picks herself up and recollects herself, she manages to pat the scrap of a map she got from the captain, and gasps as she recalls its message.

"I just remembered, the captain sent me a message, not to take the swords or spears. We might want to look for a couple other items from the other room, right?"

She rushes back, replacing her spear with the gaff, another weapon she was more than familiar with from her time at sea.

"Sorry, Cawlo, had a little mishap 'ere, didn't I?"

Back in the other room, she makes sure everyone is ready and tries again with the coins. She matches the same coin to symbol, but places them in a different order: sun, then stars, then moon and comet. I'm pushing ahead, but I assume others would speak up if they had anything to indicate otherwise.

Lavanna is pretty sure the gaff, and the club, are the only bludgeoning weapons in the racks.

She then goes back and resets the coins, this time in a different order. As soon as she does, all four sculptures glow with a radiance matching their pillar before floating up toward the ceiling to create a vibrant illusion of the sky: the sun setting on the ocean with the stars and moon rising before a flash that resolves with a comet streaking overhead. Once this illusion dissipates, a door opens.

"Oooh," Lavanna admires the scene, offering a quick prayer. "Thank you for that beauty, Gozreh."

Realizing they're still banged up from Gozreh's loving attention, she makes sure everyone's wounds are bound and bandaged before opening the door.

Kaako squawks "Nicely done L'vanna" and gives the halfling a hug.

Do you move on?
Lavanna heals the party, while the door sits ajar.

I've got the club, did somebody else take the gaff? Other than that ready to continue .

Lavanna took it

Yeah, I have the gaff, and I'd say we're ready to go on and through the door.

I'll still not take any items from there. but ready to go.

The rolling ocean has been painted on the walls of this chamber in faded blues and pale white. Opposite the entrance is a raised platform, with an enormous stone throne set against the far wall. An equally large skeleton sits on the throne, clad in the raiment of a pirate—complete with a patch over one of its empty eye sockets. The voice of your former captain calls out from the darkness.

“My old friends. You have come so far, and the end is just over the horizon. I hope you will face this final test together and learn, as I have, that you can only step into the future by overcoming your past.”

As the voice fades, the giant skeleton suddenly stirs, standing up and drawing a massive scimitar. With a nightmarish clatter, it stumbles forward to attack!

Is this how Sinbad felt?

Lavanna moves up and quickly offers a prayer to Gozreh to give them strength.

"The Wind and the Waves, let your power surge through Jadren, with the force of a hurricane!"

Action 1: Stride
Actions 2-3: Cast Heroism on Jadren; +1 status bonus to attack rolls, Perception checks, saving throws, and skill checks for 10 minutes

Kaako hustles to the top of the stairs and chucks the club he's been playing with at the skeleton.

thrown club vs FF: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24
bludgeoning damagee: 1d6 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 1 + (5, 1) = 13

Before taking a feathered backflip back down and away.

As always will nimble dodge the first attack.

Lavanna cast her spell to buff Jadren, while Kaako Disarms himself against the giant skeleton! i.e., misses

Jadren is still up

Uff, 24 FF missing is rough. I blame this cursed club

Jadren moves up to the skeleton and takes a shot with his longsword.

longsword: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21

Then raises his shield

Jadren misses misses the skeleton.

The giant skeleton pirate attacks with its with its gaff hook...
gaff hook: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (10) + 20 = 30 piercing: 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (7, 4) + 10 = 21 Just a hit

Total of 54 hp

Jadren looks very hurt by this!
Does Jadren want to use his shield block on any of these? Probably the first one, but...

Action 1: Stride
Action 2-3: Hydraulic Push
Reaction: Genie's Veil

Elsir moves further north, angling to get a good view of the massive skeleton.

"Alright, brittle bones. Let's see how you like this," the elf says, open palm pointed at the giant. A powerful blast of pressurized water flies towards their enemy!
Hydraulic Push vs Skeleton: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Damage on Hit (B): 3d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 4) = 13 plus knocked back 5ft
OR
Damage on Crit (B): 6d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 1, 6, 3, 3) = 22 plus knocked back 10ft

Elsir lets forth his blast of water, which hits the giant skeleton, pushing it back.

Kaako scrambles up and tries an electric arc at the giant skeleton.

arc: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 2) + 3 = 11
basic reflex DC 20

giant pirate skeleton reflex DC20: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29

The skeleton manages to miss the worst of Kaako's spell.

Lavana prays again. "Gozreh, let your winds break the clouds, and the sun's light sear this skeleton!"

She moves to find a clear line, then shoots out a blast of fiery light. It looks like it's going to miss, but at the last moment, a strange gust of wind pushes her arm slightly to the right and the blast scorches the skeleton.

Action 1: Stride
Actions 2-3: Cast Searing Light
Ranged spell attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Ranged spell attack (Hero Point reroll!): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Both damages are doubled if that was a crit hit.

That was not a critical, just a hit.
Lavanna's spell sears into the skeletal pirate! The fire does not seem to harm the sodden bones as much as she would have preferred, but the holy light definitely does.

"That really hurt! I could use some healing if anyone has some. I don't think I'll last another attack."

Jadren then takes out his lesser healing potion and drinks it.
potion: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 2) + 5 = 14

Then he raises his shield.

Jadren heals himself up.

From where it stands, the giant skeleton attacks Jadren, fist with its gaff hook! It just hits Jadren, causing a nasty wound!
Gaff Hook vs AC25: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (5) + 20 = 25 P: 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (4, 6) + 10 = 20

Assuming here
Jadren throws his shield in the way of the nasty hook, preventing much of the damage!

Hardness 8, so Jadren and the shield both take 12, leaving the shield 20hp before breaking

It then attacks again with the gaff hook, but misses.
Gaff Hook vs AC25: 1d20 + 20 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 20 - 5 = 24

Then it slshes with its claw at Kaako, who reacts by dodging, so it misses.
claw vs AC24: 1d20 + 19 - 8 ⇒ (6) + 19 - 8 = 17

Kaako looks to Jarden

"Pull back so we can surround it"

Kaako draws her hand crossbow and fires a parting shot with the aid of its potency crystal as she moves down the stairs.

handcrossbow: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28
piercing damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5

"Gozreh, wash away my friend's harms of this world, like detritus on the beach," Lavanna prays, some of the power trickling over to heal her small scratch.

3 actions: Heal
Healing: 3d10 + 24 ⇒ (8, 1, 6) + 24 = 39 Bigger dice due to feats, plus heal back to my max HP

Jadren doesn't have to be told twice.

He steps back away from the Skeleton then strides back away from it and raises his shield.

"Thanks for that!" He says to L'vanna.

3 action heal is a flat 3d10 for Lavanna. So 15hp.

Kaako's shot hits the giant skeleton... or it would have if it hadn't have slipped between the ribs!

Lavanna channels the wrath and the tenderness of She Who Guides the Wind and the Waves, however the drenched skeleton seems un
fort DC21: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34 And that is a crit success

The skeleton moves forward, with only Elsir in its reach. It attacks with a focused assault on the elven sorcerer!
claw vs AC21: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (18) + 19 = 37 slashing: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (3, 4) + 10 = 17 (Crit for 34)
claw vs AC21: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (8) + 19 = 27 slashing: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (4, 7) + 10 = 21

The skeleton rips through the elves robes, ripping flesh and bone, and the sorcerer collapses to the ground as the skeleton laughs without a voice.

What does a voiceless laugh sound like?

Delaying until after Jadren

Lavanna prays again to Gozreh, hoping to heal all of her friends and harm the skeleton at the same time.

Final heal, actually intentionally three actions this time.
3d10 ⇒ (10, 9, 7) = 26 That's a better roll.

fort DC21: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27
This time Lavanna's prayer to Gozreh is far more powerful, and even effects the skeleton!

That purifying aura!

Action 1: Stand
Action 2: Stride
Action 3: Take Cover

"That was really heroic of you there, Jadren!" Elsir says, cursing under his breath. He stands up, moving behind a column and taking cover in a way that says 'please, let it not be me it wants to hit next'.

"Hey, just doing what was suggested! Get off my back!

Jadren steps, interacts to pull out holy water, and throws it.

holy water: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
I factored in the -2 for range. I believe after stepping I'm only one range increment away.

When Jadren throws his holy water, he hits it square in the face, but it doesn't seem to do much

(i.e., not Vulnerable)

[b]Kaako?[/b[

Kaako scrambles to behind the skeleton, scoops up the club and continues on to on top of the throne.

1: Elsir, 2: Jadren, 2: Kaako, 4: Lavanna: 1d4 ⇒ 2

The skeleton steps forward, and Focuses its Assault on Jadren.
claw vs AC23: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21
claw vs AC23: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (1) + 19 = 20

Somehow it manages to miss twice!

"'Old on, 'old on, I'm comin'!" Lavanna calls to the others as she quickly tries to patch Elsir's wounds.

Action 1: Stride
Action 2: Interact to draw healer's tools
Action 3: Battle Medicine on Elsir
Medicine to Treat Wounds (DC 20): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21
2d8 + 10 ⇒ (8, 7) + 10 = 25 that should get Elsir to full health

Jadren steps up to the creature and takes a swing with his longsword

longsword: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33
damage: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (3, 6) + 4 = 13

then he raises his shield.

See the opportunity Kaako leaps into action, stabbing the skeleton.

rapier vs FF: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18
piercing+ SA: 2d6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 + (5, 6) = 21

piercing+ SA: 2d6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) + 4 + (3, 1) = 14

Well, at least stabbing at the skeleton :(

Jadren hit the giant skeleton, though his blade deflects across the bones. Perhaps the warning to use blunt weapons has its merits?

Then, Kaako moves in. The skeleton seems particularly poor at handling attacks from both directions, though Kaako seems to be stabbing at air rather than undead.

Elsir?

Action 1-3: Magic Missile

Elsir opts to pour on more magic releasing three magical darts of force to slam into the skeleton.
Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 4) + 3 = 11

Elsir launches more magical missiles at the skeleton, but still it refuses to go down!

The skeleton swings is gaff hook at Kaako, and claws at Jadren

Assuming nimble dodge
gaff hook vs AC24: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (10) + 20 = 30 piercing: 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (4, 5) + 10 = 19 Hit but not crit

Kaako drops the club and draws out a healing potion.

Kaako lands a blow square on the skeleton's sacroiliac, causing the whole thing to shake and then collapse into a pile of dust!

When the giant pirate skeleton is defeated, a secret door opens in the south side of the room , revealing a set of stairs that descend into darkness. As soon as this occurs, the clockwork parrot swoops down into the room and circles once before soaring down into the newly revealed corridor.

Captain Renlock’s trusty clockwork parrot leads the characters deep underground and then down a long, meandering passage. After almost an hour of following Cawlo, you arrive in a dimly lit chamber. Thin shafts of light peek out from behind a curtain that hangs on the opposite wall. In the center of the chamber is a massive wooden chest, its lid open. Unfortunately, all that is inside is a handful of old, corroded copper coins and a few silver pieces.

Cawlo hops precariously across the lid of the nearly empty treasure chest as the voice of Captain Renlock echoes from its metal beak once more. “My friends. You truly were the finest crew I ever had the pleasure of sailing with and I am sorry to say that the promised treasure was a ruse. I hope you will forgive me, but I turned it over to the Andoran captain in exchange for his promise to be lenient on all of you. That treasure bought your freedom and I can’t think of a finer purchase.”

The bird grows silent for a moment, before leaping off the chest to perch atop the moldering drapery on the far side of the chamber. The voice continues. “But fear not my friends, because an old pirate like me always has one more secret, and this one is for you.” With that, the parrot tugs at the curtain, which falls away to reveal a short passage that leads to a secret cove hidden on the far side of the island.

There, sitting above the waves in a dry dock, is a glorious sailing sloop in near-perfect condition! The parrot continues. “I had a few enchantments cast to make sure it was ready for you when the time was right. The ship is yours. Take it and see the world that I never did.”
