Out of combat, but leaving this here so you can see the ridiculousness.

When you recover from the battle, you are able to check out the gear left on the bodies of the blood-drained assassins in the area. Much of the gear carried or worn by the dead assassins here survives, but it’s all lower-level magical gear—a mix of +1 striking sawtooth sabers and +1 resilient leather armor that is unlikely to be of much value to you.

The body of the group's commander is of more interest: It lies slumped inside the bunker in the northwest corner of the chamber, still gripping the red-glowing blade of her +2 greater striking unholy sawtooth saber in one hand. A search of her belongings reveals a small red leather pouch that contains a lock of hair.

Markus' floating flame continues to flicker around the monster, he patches up Vitus and flings shards of metal into the creature.

Reflex: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16

The creature gestures at Markus, the wizard plaguing him, and casts a spell to befuddle his mind.

Gutters and Strikes!

Yuki's fireball blows apart the red blob, but the thick clotted blood of the black blob shrugs it off!

I'm going to order things as Crystal -> Kimmich

Crystal scores one hit on the red fog, which seems to suck hungrily at her pooling blood. Kimmioch follows up, hitting twice and triggering a critical strike from Crystal.

The fog lets out a wave of energy, trying to draw sustenance from Crystal and Kimmich, then lashes out at Dianora. The cleric dodges acrobatically, narrowing avoiding a critical hit!

After shielding Ellaeaanda from attack, Vitus taunts the fiend. Vrosi persues the creature as it shoves its way across the battlefield, and just barely manages to strike and grab it, with Netkin's construct providing a bit of flanking. Resa misses her blows, and the creature manages to resist all of Ardoinel's fire and Ellaeanda's void damage.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25
Reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Ellaeaanda lands a strike with her whip, and some of the damage from her spell penetrates. The creature utterly fails to dodge Markus's flame, taking damage despite its resistance.

"I'll carve out your livers!"

The fiend shoves Resa in an effort to get to those who actually damaged him.

Bold may act! If there are any reactions, we'll retcon them in. (Looking at our guardian!)

Calisrio and Latanoris make their way down the ladder to the hold as you continue to talk to Hyp, taking in the end of the conversaiton:

"The Glorious Payoff won't survie another attack," the Venture Captain grunts. "You'll need to stop the impending attack and gather any information you can. Hyp, we'll pay you handsomely if you can lead us to the naiads."

Latanoris asked to be excused for a moment, then returns with a small chest. She opens it to reveal some equipment. "This should be helpful."

The trader hands each of you a sharkskin robe and a water elemental wayfinder.

"Get yourself together, Pathfinders, and it's time to take a dip!"

If you want to do/say anything, feel free! But I'll move us forward.

When the you are ready, Hyp slips into the water next to the ship and begins the decent.

As Hyp descends through the crystal blue water of the Obari, a school of small iridescent fish scatters around him. His overflowing bag of loot floats at his side. Three hundred feet below the surface, the sunlight wanes as the expansive darkness of the sea creeps closer and closer, while the shadows of much larger creatures glide by, just out of sight.

In only a few minutes, Hyp leads you hundreds of feet below the surface, where the sunlight only provides low light.

The silence of the dive is broken by a piercing voice that pipes into your mind: The water thieves repelled our attack with warriors determined to destroy us. Rally and destroy their ship. Make sure they never breathe air again.

The loud voice gives you a momentary headache; Hyp shakes his head and says, "We should hurry," and continues to swim toward the naiad's rally point.

Hyp swims fast, zigzagging between coral reefs and rock outcroppings to avoid unwanted attention. You must be a couple miles from the Glorious Payoff when you see a ship with Latanoris Trade Company markings lays shattered among ancient ruins, many of which still stand as they did hundreds of years ago. Ornate pillars jut from the sand like ghostly monuments, while starfish and sea anemones adorn once colorfully painted statues. Marring the ruin’s austere beauty, amphorae and other flotsam from the ship blanket the area, having spilled from the wreckage as it plummeted into the sea.

Hyp spots something and points it out to you: "Naiads...I'm going to hide! I recommend you do the same." He flits inside one of the ancient buildings.

Since you identified and destroyed Hyp's hag's eye necklace, you have 2 rounds to prepare for the combat. Put yourself anywhere you like, naiads are coming from the west (right) side of the map. They have a killer whale with them.

Happy holidays, everyone. Thanks for your patience!

"I’m a—what do you call it?—a sole proprietor. I look after my own coin purse. I help where I can, though," Hyp responds. "I can't broker any deals, but I can take you to where the naiads gather. They'll take a bit to recover, but they'll be back to sink your boat if you don't do something about it."

Sorry to hear that. Take care and take the time you need!

"Ah, Taldane is a silly language," Hyp chuckles. "I mean water like, 'sweet water that runs through the land and that land things drink.' In Thalassic it's totally clear."

"I don't know her name, or where she is," Hyp answers. "One day their leader’s voice just popped into my head, giving orders and summoning sea creatures. I’ve heard her ever since, but only while I’m in the water.”

"The message is always something about protecting their water from the people of Hoimpeia. Are you stealing their water, dóloma?"

"A hag's eye?!" Hyp tears off the necklace and throws it at his feet in disgust. "I just found it searching through a wreck and thought it looked nice."

The undine shudders, "The sea hag Saloratha has stalked me for years, always trying to lure me into her cook pot.”

“The naiads? They attacked you? They’re sure angry with you lot. Their leader’s always howling about sinking ships," the undine answers Miladistra.

"Not me, though, náftis: Hyptagoris Andreriadis at your service. Most call me Hyp. I like you surface traders. I’m a collector of unwanted treasures, myself. Can I interest you in ten pairs of sandals? You won’t find a better deal anywhere else.”

Hope everyone has/is having a good holiday! I figure that posting will be slow for the next few days. Post when you can. Also, this will be a hard encounter, so feel free to let 'er rip!

The rest of the team moves into position and gangs up on the fiend. Most attacks fall short, and, though Netkin's flask breaks against the creature, the fire seems to have no effect!

The light from Chumwi's spell coalescese around a humanoid shape, who immediately gives an audible laugh and appears, twirling a cloak over his back.

“Relax, relax, fílos. I’m the least of your worries.” The teenaged male undine who appears wears a crown of woven sea plants on top of his curly blue-green hair and carries a large makeshift bag made from ship rigging and small wooden buoys. The bag overflows with bottles, tools, and small crates. He wears a sea-blue shirt and knee-length shorts look to provide the perfect camouflage for swimming in the ocean. He also wears a necklace with a large emerald.

Round 3:
Siara: 3 VP, 1 Wound
Iannos: 3 VP, 0 Wounds
Rohirron: 4 VP, 1 Wound
Acantheus: 3 VP, 3 Wound

The team makes a fine showing in the melee, with triumphant victories all around! (Though Acantheus is starting to look pretty banged up.)

Nearby in the fracas, you see Akki the tengu. It looks like he just took his third wound, but instead of leaving--as the judges insist--he drops into a battle rage! The tengu strikes out at the competitors nearby and draws blood.

Despite the protestations of the judges, it doesn't look like Akki i slowing down. It's up to you to make sure he doesn't hurt anyone!

Non-lethal damage prohibition continues--you've got to act better than this out-of-control tengu!

Oh right. Odd! Ardoinel can act too!

Or right. Odd! Ardoinel can act too!

Totally fine; I imagine it's a busy time for most everyone. Maybe we'll just give everyone a chance to post for this round, then take a little break for the holiday.

Due to the power of teamwork, Markus is able to score a hit with his magical attack before Vrosi charges into combat. The fiend evades the orc's attempts to grab him, however.

The barghest stands back up and bites and claws at Vrosi!

And we are off on our first combat. Just a note: I use block initiative, so you can act any time you are in bold. Don't feel you have to wait for the other people who are up, even if they are in front of you in initiative order.

"You dare to threaten me?! I'll feast on your souls!"

There is a bit of a quaver in the fiend's voice, but he's definitely ready for a fight!

Ellaeaanda leaps into action, the spirits urging her to readiness. She reads the aura of the sinister creature, and has an insight that it would be a good thing to attack! She advances to put the fiend in reach of her whip and pulls it to the ground!

You are just able to stabilize the ship before it takes on too much water, and the crew manages to fish Latanoris out of the drink--wet but unharmed.

Calisro congratulates everyone on saving the ship, and encourages the you to get some rest, saying, “We can do nothing more tonight. We’re dead in the water. Let’s take a break. In the morning, we’ll plan our next move.”

The night passes uneventfully, but you are awoken by cries from the cargo hold. Rushing to check it out, you find a frightened sailor, who says: “Careful, it’s a siren. I heard singing, and something pulled my hair.”

The steady drip of water echoes through the hold. Supply crates, hurriedly shoved aside during the aftermath of the attack, sit in shallow pools, their contents soaked through. The crew’s emergency repairs, oiled canvas stuffed into cracks that dot the hull, keep the ship afloat for now, but bailing buckets have been lined along the deck should the repairs fail.

"What excellent manners you have, my new worshipers. Come, join the circle of adoration," the creature growls as he gestures at the assemblage of goblin bones. "Lay your tribute at my feet, and maybe I will find you worthy of performing other tasks for me."

The creature cocks an ear in your direction, "Halfling? Halfling are delicious! Offer me a halfling in tribute, and I will let you pass."

These are bloodfogs. Resistance 15 physical, immune to precision, weakness 15 fire

Crystal and Kimmich close with the blood blob, but their attacks fall just short.

Success on the feint, but failure on hits

The red bank of fog rolls closer to Kimmich, then reaches out greedy tentacles to slash at him.

misty tendril: 1d20 + 33 ⇒ (19) + 33 = 52 for slashing: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 3, 6, 4) = 22 plus 3d6 bleed

Kimmich can you give me a DC 38 Fortitude save? Since the hit was a critical, you'll take one degree of success less.

When I've done it for playtest classes before, I've found it easier to just hash it out on the sheet. What I'll sometimes do it just look at the base class in Pathbuilder just to double check my Hit Points, AC, Proficiencies, but put all of the features in the profile.

As Tiger slips the tentacle off the mast, Dorrance cuts down the yellow attacker and badly wounds the red. Deciding to live another day, the raider runs to the side and dives over the edge of the boat.

Out of combat

Calisro Benarry’s shouted orders carry over the sound of waves still crashing against the hull, and even before the ship fully rights itself from the giant squid’s attack, the crew dashes to follow her commands. “We’re adrift and taking on water!” she yells. “Repair the hull. Secure the rudder, and fish Latanoris out of the sea. She seems like a strong swimmer, but let’s not take any chances.”

Mayday! Mayday! You may each attempt 2 checks to help the crew.
A Crafting or Athletics check helps plug cracks in the hull and pump out water before the vessel sinks; a successful DC 19 Athletics or Perception check, a PC assists the crew pulling Latanoris out of the ocean; a successful Crafting or Thievery check helps repair the steering ropes connecting the wheel to the rudder. Alternatively, a PC who succeeds at a Diplomacy or Intimidation check inspires the crew to work faster as they scramble to keep the Glorious Payoff afloat.

Ellaeaanda: You know greater barghests mutate as they grow, gaining special abilities. This one appears to have poisonous fangs. Also, you recall that the fiends are weak to holy damage.

Posted! Let's get this adventure back on the road. :)
