The Savage Tide

Game Master TheNine

Is Vark the guy right in front of me?

I believe so

Aliya advances on the criminal leader, her movements fluid and chaotic, a beautiful tumbling pass that brings her alongside the man as she connects her heel with his jaw.

Unarmed strike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Acrobatics (if needed to avoid AoO): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Nassor hustles astern almost to the mainmast and looses a bolt at the man engaged with Aliya.

"It's not your boat!" he calls "Why die for it?"

Move: Move to 5 ft from mast, Standard: Attack with crossbow
attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 for damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6 Piercing

Vark snarled under the two blows staggering back for a moment before lashing out at Ailyah with his sword.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Seeing the wicked slash acrose her shoulder he smirked

"take that you wench!"

Party up

Tedros jogs up alongside Jetsam.

[move] 25ft

Winds up, and swings his scimitar at a remaining pirate.

[standard] attack ORANGE

scimitar attack ORANGE, S damage: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 211d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Meanwhile Dejen runs in the opposite direction and up the stairs to the sterncastle to confront the pirate above.

[move] 30ft

A sharp talon slashes out at them:

[standard] attack GREY
talon GREY, S damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 91d6 ⇒ 3

Seeing her nearby foe unarmed and her new ally Aliyah gravely wounded, Jetsam moves to assist the woman, attempting to tumble into flanking position before attacking. Then she strikes.

Jetsam Acrobatics Check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Jetsam mwk falcata (flanking): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 = 26 for slashing damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 (19-20/x3)

Heh--I'm wondering if Tedros forgot that Orange had dropped his weapon and was cowering after Jet's last attack (See THIS POST above). I know I'd forgotten myself! Maybe he can retcon a -4 for a nonlethal attack...unless he intended to strike the guy down anyways.

you’re right, I forgot after so long. Instead.

Tedros moves up the other staircase and circles around behind the pirate.

[double move]

Nassor, seeing Vark's blade cut deeply into Aliyah, hustles forward and, sliding between the wounded warrior and the gunwale, quickly murmurs a prayer to whatever gods might be listening today.

Move up behind Aliyah, cast Cure Light Wounds.
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 healing

Nathrae sneers before drawing her gladius and moving to assist Aliyah with putting her assailant down.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage?: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The man staggered but unlike his cronies he didnt seem all that eager to flee. He swung wildly at Jetsam who had come close to ending his life.

attack Jetsam: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Jetsam cries out in pain as she's struck, but her training kicks in and she stands her ground, snapping off a quick counterattack.

Jetsam mwk falcata (flanking): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 = 19 for slashing damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12 (19-20/x3)

Wounded, and with a clear understanding of just how dangerous her opponent is, Aliyah makes a desperate attempt to end the fight, dropping into a crouch and folding her legs, to spring up, launching her body onto one arm as her full momentum rises in a deadly arc, swinging through it's apex to drop like a hammer across the side of the bastard's neck.

Unarmed strike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Confirm
Unarmed strike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

The man staggered back starting to turn his head the motion suddenly he collapsed chest unmoving.

This combat is over.

The sound of monkeys squeeling out and birds cawing raucously erupt from below the decks along with a thing plume of smoke wafting up.....

Tedros' eyes light up as he slowly watches smoke rise over the deck of the ship, challenging the masts and crow's nest.

Is... the ship burning? We've got to put that out if we want any hope of finding an object so small as a ring!

He rushes towards the stairs down...

I'm guessing a new part of the map is in order, and perhaps some fire detail.

Jet hesitates for a moment to cast a spell to heal her wound...and then shakes her head, wondering why she thought that was something she was capable of. Perhaps before I came to Sasserine and learned to wield the falcata...?

Toughing it out, she follows Tedros below deck.

Nassor follows quickly, looking about the deck for buckets or any other firefighting gear.

I've no idea if they have such stuff … but I would.

roll if needed: Prof-Sailor: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

Nathrae steps up to Aliyah and roughly puts a hand on her shoulder, eerie eldritch energy in the palm of her hand.

There's a profound chill for a moment before her wounds start stitching themselves together.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Lily offer a potion of CLW to Jetsam seeing she's wounded still.

Then she searches and binds the unconscious man.

Aliyah finds herself more than a little shocked at the crackling energy and bone-deep chill of the drow woman's touch, but grateful as her wounds completely heal. "I...thank you." she says with a grateful nod.

Nathrae nods. "The Ruby Sorceress is pleased with you, it seems."

More smokw astarts to waft up and raucous cries from birds and monkeys erupts. the sound of something wooden being smashed also splits the air with a strange chittery noise.

I"ll get better with maps i hope *lawls* Anywho i cant find a clear enough second deck map so just using the first one. its basically an open hold under the deck, the black lined area are stairs heading down to the hold, added some crates and animal cages. the large arachnid looking monster is what the two creatures are down there. colored orange and yellow. The orange once is loose... the yellow one is trying to break out of his wooden cage. there are three fires starting to grow.

They can be put out with any sort of water like create water. snuffed sout with a cloak or siazable cloth, using the snuff out method requires a full round action that incites Attacks of Opprotunity. or a bucket of sand (there are eight buckets of sand on the main deck dc 15 to spot them.

Initiative order - Party first then the Rhagodessa

Rhagodessa - A spider-like creature the size of a pony. The creature’s body is dark brown with yellow stripes, its furred legs long and spindly. The front pair of its ten legs rear up threateningly, their tips flattening into terrible discs studded with dozens of hooked suckers. The monster’s head is horrifically oversized, dominated by immense mandibles that chatter and clack with obvious hunger.

Nassor looks for a bucket … 

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Tedros looks around too.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

He's concerned that even if he finds one it won't be easy to constantly drop it off the side of the ship and pull it up to fill it.

"Thanks," Jet tells Lily, taking and downing the potion when she gets a glimpse of the rampaging rhagodessa. "I'll buy you a replacement when Lady Vanderboren pays us for this fiasco!" The young swordswoman then scoots forward to engage the monster.

potion of CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 hps now 10/12

Nathrae looks over at the nearest fire on deck, sneers at it, and moves over to it.

With an imperious roll of her ruby-red eyes, she speaks a single word in an arcane language and calls up a burst of water to extinguish the first blaze.

Create Water on the nearest fire.

… and snatches a bucket and hurries to the starboard side fire to extinguish it.

Moves as close to the fire as he can get (if seizing bucket was a standard action, he's positioned on map. If it's less than that or can be combined with move, then he'll be closer and ready to snuff it out next round)

Tedros holds out his bucket for Nathrae to fill with her magic.

Very handy! he smiles at her.

"Of course." Nathrae says with a haughty, upturned expression.

ONe fire down, buckets of sand in hand the party does its best to save their employers boat....

Any other actions to post before the totally free scary looking spiderlike monster goes and attempts to eat someone?

Lily grabs a bucket of sand and moves up to extinguish one of the fires. Keeping an eye for anything coming up from the hold.

"Something big is getting out. Best be ready!" She calls out.

If we aren't in rounds, Tedros will rinse-repeat on getting/applying water.

As those more suited to it take care of the fire, Alihay rushes toward the spider monster.

Move action: Martial Flexibility (Gain Dodge for 1 min), Move action: Advance toward monster. (Current AC 17)

The abnormaly large spider like monster 'roars as it spots you Aliyah, it chitters loudly as it clumsily rushes forward its claws stabbing at you!

distraught stab: 1d20 + 6 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 6 - 2 - 2 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 4 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 - 1 = 4

The claw like 'hand' manages to grab onto your thigh and squeeze with the sort of pressure that makes your bones groan in pain.

PARTY UP!

Jet grits her teeth and then swings her falcata at the monstrosity.

Jetsam mwk falcata: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 for slashing damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 (19-20/x3)

I moved her toward the monster in my last post; unfortunately, I can't move Jet's token on the map.

Jetsams Falcata just bounces off the creatures chitenous hide

Moved :)

Tedros sprints down the stairs from the sterncastle and rushes towards the spider.

[move] 30ft (assuming downstairs is not difficult terrain)

He continues until he arrives next to his companions, encroaching on the creature.

[move] 30ft

Dejen meanwhile races around the other side...

[move] 60ft

squeezing in next to Jetsam before attempting to slash at it.

[standard] attack
talon, S damage: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 211d6 ⇒ 4

Nassor steps close to the starboard fire and upends the sand bucket, seeking to smother the flames.

Five-foot step to the square NE of the fire, snuff out blaze

Letting out a cry of pain, Aliyah throws herself into a backflip, her foot rising swiftly into a solid strike as she lands on her hands.

Kick: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Lily gets her crossbow out and readies it this round. Taking a 5' step to put the mast between her and the creature.

The beast shudders for a moment as Dejan, and Aliyah struck at the loosened spider creature. It chittered in pain as both Dejen and Aliyah hit with telling blows... It tooke several steps back and struck at Aliyah

attack distruaght bite Aliyah: 1d30 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) - 2 - 2 = 14
damage: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4) + 1 = 8

With the monster's attention squarely on Aliyah, Jet again steps up and hacks at the thing, aiming for its neck. Instead, one of the thing's legs flails and knocks her weapon arm waaaay off target.

Jetsam mwk falcata: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 for slashing damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 (19-20/x3)

Nathrae's eyes flare and she runs behind Aliyah to heal her again.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The bucket emptied, Nassor hopes that's enough to smother the fire and turns towards the melee behind him. Gesturing toward the frenzied beast, he seems to toss more grains of sand in its direction — but the grains sparkle like stardust, settling over its carapace and bathing it in light.

Standard Action: Stardust on the spider-thing, it'll take -1 to attacks and sight-based perception checks for 1 round, no save.
Move action: Draw Longspear

The beast shudders for a moment as Dejan, and Aliyah struck at the loosened spider creature. It chittered in pain as both Dejen and Aliyah hit with telling blows... It tooke several steps back and struck at Aliyah

Due to Dancing scarves and the action taken two rounds ago, that attack misses. {Martial Flexibility (Gain Dodge for 1 min), Move action: Advance toward monster. (Current AC 17)}

Managing to dodge the creature's bite, Aliya is nonetheless grateful for Nathrae's additional healing, despite the intense chill. As Jetsam creates a distraction, she presses the attack, jumping into the air to deliver another kick to the beast.

Jumping kick: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

The creature shrieked staggering back under the series blows it looked to be in real bad shape. The second one still trapped in its cage continued to smash itself against its cage. it looked like the cage wouldnt hold for much longer.

the free creature spur and snapped its jaws at Jetsam It came no where close to striking her though

bite attack: 1d20 + 2 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 - 2 - 1 = 5
bite: 2d4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3) + 1 = 7

Party up

After dodging the jaws of the bad bug, Jet slashes back, scoring a weak hit.

Jetsam mwk falcata: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 for slashing damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 (19-20/x3)

If that's enough to drop the thing, she'll move to the next cage to prepare to battle the next beastie.

These bugs seem tougher than what I'm used to...

After hesitating, he leans in and slashes at it...

[standard] attack GREEN
scimitar attack (flanking), S damage: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 2 = 181d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

then looks to his dinosaur companion and lets out a barely audible, primal chirp that seems to signal that it's his turn.
