Brvheart's Skull&Shackles

The party is now well within earshot of Sandara and Jake. The passage to there is above water, but the chamber is full of water. (I drew a line for the shore line). Roll init as I presume you are going in there after the channel. I will give everyone one round of actions before the Grindylows act.

Capricia the Pirate Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

init Brinebrood Queen: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Round of action: Protection from evil communal on the party

init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

16

Current things up in Vikla, prot from evil one minute, divine favor about half a minute, resources used, 1 channel, 1 level 1 spell 1 level 2 spell. Should be a +2 to AC and saves for everyone, as I assume these guys are actually evil.

Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Hundreds of remains float in this large bowl of water, which
churns with bones, scraps of flesh, and the carcasses of
strange, almost alien fish. Just visible through the roiling stew
are humanoid bodies floating in the water, wan corpses drifting
near the bottom of this cauldron like sleeping guardians.
The water churns and seethes in this cavern, giving
occasional glimpses of its contents but mostly concealing
anything beneath its surface. Visibility is generally 5 feet
or less in the water.
Two figures hang from the ceiling above the churning
water, bound hand and foot with thick strands of seaweed
and sinew and weighted with heavy ingots of silver—the
kidnapped sailors from the Man’s Promise, including
Sandara Quinn.

"Hold on, folks! We're coming!" Nuts charges the room, taking in the grisly sight. And then it hits his nostrils. He breathes with disgust. "Ugh! Smells like balls here."

Double move, assuming it's difficult terrain from where I was to begin with.

Actually where you are at it is not difficult terrain. The water though you will need to make a DC 10 swim check.

Swim: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Okay, so I suppose I will move... 3 more squares? To account for the swim?

INTO THE A$$@~$! LAIRS
BESMARAS HEROES MARCH

Vikla sings loudy as she moves up next to Nuts

She then formulates a cunning plan, and readies herself to cast a spell

Hello?where are you, You nasties? Prepare to face the wrath of King Manny!

Move up to behind manny and ready an action to cast on the first enemy I see.

Init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Capricia moves with the others, swimming when necessary. Expecting a battle, she keeps her buckler handy while trading out her falcata for the new-found rapier.

Maybe it's my old eyes, but I thought the passage to the big cavern was shaded for hooky-traps. CRAP! Wish I'd stowed the buckler for that extra +1 on the Swim!

Capricia the Pirate Reflex Saving Throw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Capricia the Pirate Swim Check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

As soon as the PCs enter the Cauldron, the Brinebrood
Queen screams in hunger and cuts the bonds holding the
two captive pirates above the water. The weight of the silver
ingots immediately drags them beneath the surface.

kn religion is this a religious sacrifice?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

You dare sacrifice one of Besmaras own? APPROACH AND ANSWER TO MY BLADE

Casting command on the brinebrood queen to approach Vikla

will save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

I guess Vilka could see it that way

Manny throws an alchemist fire at the queen
Alchemist fire: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 151d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Manny throws an alchemist fire at the queen

[Dice=Alchemist fire]1d20+7;1d6+2

You need to make a DC10 swim in order to get close enough to throw it within 20'. What is the +2 damage for?

Nuts looks at Emerald with some sense of urgency. "You're the best swimmer here. If you want to stay and fight this thing, I need a dagger to cut the ropes. You or me?"

Swim: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

I get my int bonus to damage from my Underground Chemist archetype

[Dice=Swim]1d20+5

I get my int bonus to damage from my Underground Chemist archetype

ahhh, I remember seeing that now

I swim to get them before they sink

I swim to get them before they sink

Emerald had to get back to work from lunch. She will cut the rope when she gets there preventing Sandara and Jake from sinking to the bottom.

Sandara will upon hitting the surface cast instant armor. Then she will check on Jake.

Swim fast swift 30ft to draw dagger on wrist sheath: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

get there and cut the weights on standards, she can cut Jake loose on her turn.

[dice=Swim fast swift 30ft to draw dagger on wrist sheath]1d20 + 14

get their and cut the weights on standards, she can cut Jake loose on her turn.

You see two lacedons are chained to the bottom

I can kill the Lacedons safely later!
Vikla says when seeing the lacedons

DEATH AND MURDER TO KABRIRI!
Demonlord of ghouls, no idea if the brinebrood queen even remotely worships him, wild arsed guess.

Content with Emerald diving towards the crew, Nuts slowly swims towards the closest threat in the room and starts throwing punches.

"Gonna have a whale of a time with you."

Move action - swim for 1/4 speed, Standard action - elbow to the face

Swim: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 181d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Sorry; my post either got eaten by the board gremlins or I forgot to hit Submit. I just had Capricia double-move (including a Swim) to the SE corner of the giant monster.

Capricia the Pirate Swim Check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Looks like Nuts is in the square I was aiming for; let's try the one above him instead.

I am going to double move Laroisia up to the back of the party

Content with Emerald diving towards the crew, Nuts slowly swims towards the closest threat in the room and starts throwing punches.

AOO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

apologies for no posting yesterday, was pretty busy

Laroisael, seeing the chaos unfolding before her, holds her hand out and yells, "Auta meitä, ystäväni mereltä!". Suddenly a dolphin comes in to aid them!

I don't think I can move so I'm using summon monster I to summon a dolphin

Manny tries swimming up again.

Swim: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Manny chucks alchemist fire at the queen.

Alchemist fire: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 251d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Manny that definitely makes your swim check. Vilka, the ghouls are 40' under churning water with a visibility of 5' so the only one that can see them is Emerald as she was right above them in the water. Laroisael, go ahead and take the dolphins attack for this turn.

The dolphin will swim up to the “whale” and attack.

Dolphin Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Dolphin Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Under the water, finish getting Sandara untied and cast in a upward angle against the two on the surface.

Electric hands, CL 4, point to caster level dc14: 4d4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 4) + 1 = 11

Capricia attacks the big fella with the recently-found masterwork rapier (which should have gone to Vikla; we can remedy that after this battle), hopefully inflicting a bit of pain on the monster.

Capricia the Pirate mwk rapier: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18 for piercing damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 (18-20)

[dice=Capricia the Pirate mwk rapier]1d20+8 for [dice=piercing damage]1d6+1 (18-20)

Actually the rapier belongs to Sandara so I presume you would give it back to her after the battle.

BEHOLD BESMARAS GLORY! F+!%ING TENTACLE FACES!

Vikla shouts as she unleashes her most potent spell, a burst of radiance erupts, damaging and perhaps blinding both the whale and the brinebrood queen!

If they are evil, they take damage: 3d4 ⇒ (2, 3, 1) = 6 damage, they also must pass a DC16 reflex save or be blinded for duration: 1d4 ⇒ 1 rounds, if they pass the save they are dazzled for 1 round instead.

She then uses her move action to begin moving towards the brinebrood queen.

"Gods, woman!" Nuts blinks as Vikla fills the room with bright light. "You trying to blind me?"

Once he regains focus, he starts mauling the whale further.

Flurry 1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 191d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Flurry 2: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 251d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
