PFS1 The Emerald Spire: Level 5 - The Drowned Level by GM Colin (Inactive)

Game Master Colin_Mercer

Patros lashes out with his sword, hoping to at least wound the creature and let his colleagues bring it down.

attack, PA, FF: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 141d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 4 = 10

Araezi continues swimming forward, blissfully unaware of the present danger. Her allies seem to be a little more in the way than she'd prefer, so the impatient Ganzi decides to break formation and swim to the front of the line. That's when she catches a hazy glumpse of the mud monster grasping her friend!

The kineticist continues her swimming to get around the enemy, moving to its backside and delivering a point-blank attack.

Aether Blast (underwater, concealment): 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 - 2 = 7 damage (p): 2d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 6 + 2 = 11
Concealment % (low is bad): 1d100 ⇒ 7

Matt swims to the head of the monster and activates Bloodrage and Dragonic Style!
Unarmed Strike,PA: 1d20 + 7 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 - 1 = 23
dmg: 1d6 + 6 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 3 + 3 = 15
Concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 61

Only Methyl managed to damage the mud a little bit.

Bold can act!

Seeing that things were a bit cluttered up front, judging from the ripples in the water from a melee, Shi tried to move forward to assist as best as he could. Boris, was not enjoying things, given that most of the time, only his claws touched water when he was grabbing a plump fish for a snack.

Swim: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Ganem bites down on his potion sponge, then swims up a bit to get closer to the action.

Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

It's some sort of elemental made out of mud! You'll need magic to get through its tough skin!

The mud monster make quick work of Patros and step to the side.

Araezi knows that her kinetic blast would leave her open to counterattack, so she decides to follow her brilliant tactics from the last fight: running around in circles like a panicked chicken!

The ganzi goes fishing for punches. But after the she reaches the halfway point of her lap, she notices one of her allies floating face-down in the water.

Change of Plans!

Kinetic Healer on Patros: 2d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 5) + 6 + 2 = 17

Eating an AoO and then trying to heal. If I get grabbed then it is what it is. If I don't, then I'll eat the burn and heal Patros.

Mud monsters missed Araezi with its slam, and the kineticist heals the slayer.

Patros tries to hack a piece of the elemental away.

Am I able to sink to the bottom and take a 5' step?

Am I able to sink to the bottom and take a 5' step?

No

Wish the monster doesn't have combat reflex
Matt decides turn off the rage, sink to bottom and move 5 step futher away from the monster.
Then she will take out her potion sponge with Potion of Magic Fang

Methyl doesn't have the same luck as Patros, and is hit and grappled by the mud monster as she swim away!

She keeps her distance her weapon having a longer range.
And Again her elf spear shoots out but missed to find a mark.

this is IF she can reach it, TH 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 Miss

Stuck in the traffic jam, Boris grabbed the wand and applied some healing magic to Pathos.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Ganem swims closer and taps [Lady Alya?] on the shoulder as he speaks an incantation.

Cast Guidance

The mud monster quickly slams Methyl near unconsciousness, and re-grapples her.

She nodded at Ganem them tried once more to stab the beast.
She had had time to study it now, and her spear sort a weak spot.
Studied Combat +2/+2 Strike +1d6 Move action used

Elf Spear TH 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 27 DMG 1d8 + 1d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + (4) + 1 + 2 = 15

Alya managed to hit the mud monster, but it's almost impossible to precisely hit its weak point within the dark water, and her spear is not magical enough to deal any meaningful damage.
Concealment negates precision damage, failed to pierce through DR magic

Araezi shifts to the side to try and get a better look at the figure grappling her ally. The kinetic medic decides that the best form of healing is preemptive destruction of the threat!

Aether Blast: 1d20 + 6 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 1 - 2 = 6 damage: 2d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 1) + 6 + 2 = 12

Oof

Patros wails away on the creature.

[dice=attack, PA, FF, studied]1d20+10+1; 1d8+4+4+1

Please roll for miss chance. Adjacent is 20%, and more than 5ft away is 50%

oops missed that...miss, low bad: 1d100 ⇒ 6$&@@*)(/&[]!!!!

Still not able to safely move forward, Shi helped Patros deal with his injuries.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

The water has not been kind to the Pathfinders, obscuring their sight and miss their attacks.

Araezi carefully shifts just out of reach from the monster 5 foot step. Then, she lets out a "Glaphlaglphagl" in Underwater Protean as she feels the backlash from yet another use of her healing powers, pushing her own body ever closer to its absolute limits.

kinetic healer on Matt: 2d6 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 6) + 6 + 2 = 20

Patros hacks away, dropping his shield to grip his blade in both hands

attack, 2h, ST, Pa, FF: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 1 = 211d8 + 6 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 1 + 6 = 19

miss: 1d100 ⇒ 1

oh ffs....

Noticing her allies still in a struggle, Araezi swims a bit closer to get a point blank shot at the mud man.

Aether blast: 1d20 + 6 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 19 damage: 2d6 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5, 2) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 16

Cast Guidance on Methyl

Stuck in the bottleneck, Shi kept an eye out on Patros in front of him in case something happens.

Ready to cast CLW if he does down

The mud monster's sodden mass shifts with eerie precision as it brings a heavy limb crashing down. The blow strikes the only foe capable of harming it, driving Methyl hard into the stone floor beneath the murky water. The impact stills her instantly, crimson threads curling through the darkened pool.

oh these rolla are killing me...a 1 with a max damage roll...i'm done...ffs...

spear attack 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23 Ping! can't hurt it

Realizes she is not even getting past its mud armor, takes a 5' step back. Talking underwater was near impossible, and seeing one of the team die she had to think a moment. This was a no win situation they needed to pull back and regroup. But how, the others where in there with this thing.

Heal 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Knowledge Dungeoneering 1d20 + 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (1) + (1) + 8 = 10

"We need to get to solid ground to fight it, retreat back to the stairs!" Shi said as he tried to make his way back to the way the had arrived.
