How is our pace thru the maze?

Are we seeing other ships?

[dice=perception]1d20 + 9

Lee stays under "cover". Not trying to stay dry so much (seems futile) as out of the way of hustling crew and falling hardware.
Obviously not concentrating on the percepting...

Visibility is very limited, and you haven't seen signs of other ships as you navigate through the reefs.

I'd describe your pace as medium and steady. You aren't creeping through, but moving at a good pace, but you aren't plowing through heedlessly. You should feel good about your pace.

"There's no problem. But you are going to have to undertake the Regatta without me. I need to do some research."

"Captain, you should be seeing to your homecoming and celebrating your success. I have some things to attend to."

Those are good ideas, Lathiira. I'll put together a scene with the Fearsome's Tide's return. I'm stymied at the moment. Just anxious about screwing up the beginning of the relaunch, which I acknowledge as foolish. I'll figure it out.

Staggering Blow feet is fine. I'll look over the rest. 46,000 matches Thren pretty well. Lee should be in the same general range.

Keith, let us know when you have an 8th level Lee.

Honestly, I don't care that much about limiting sources unless you two want to stick with that. Tidal hunter is from Ultimate Wilderness, but it isn't likely to break the game.

I'd say play what you want and I'll try to make it fun to play.

Also, I'm happy to take a look at build specifics. I'm imagining getting fired back up in two weeks if that works for you guys. If you need a longer break, maybe the beginning of March would be good.

Got the shared folder. Thanks!

Haven't really been able to look at anything this week, but I think I can get back to work now.

Managed to review the broad strokes of the rest of the campaign today.

Thren, at your leisure would you add up your wealth. Whenever we get around to recruiting we will want to know what people can come in with.

That is all helpful. I'm happy with any players that you two want to suggest. I'll get to work. DQ, please send me any pertinent notes.

So I think to continue I would need to re-read the part of the campaign from before I joined. And I would need to review the future materials.

And we would want to recruit a couple more players, I think, though perhaps by invitation rather than an open recruitment.

"To the future!"

"I'm all for you experiencing our live bodies, but I think you lean more in the direction of our Captain. But thank you for the gift. I will use it to bring maledictions to our foes."

Happy New Year! As evidenced by the fact I am sitting alone on my sofa watching the new Matrix movie and posting in a PbP game 14 minutes before the new year, things aren't going great for me. But new beginnings are always a chance, right?

"I have every intention of hunting down Zarskia, though such an undertaking is not my specialty. But whatever the ring was up to, it seems like they had completed it and were tying up loose ends even before we caught up to them."

"And don't forget losing control of our wills diving on the wreck. All in the journey has been fraught with all manner of peril."

Kahuranga finds a pedestal that is holding a vase, and with that and a pillow borrowed from his bed manages a comfortable perch for Taniwha to join the dinner without sitting in a chair below the level of the table.

Knowing that not everyone enjoys dining with a miniature dragon ripping food from the bone, Kahuranga shreds some chicken before placing it before his partner like offerings before a diminished god.

Me too. Just wanting to set up some possibilities for a direction for my folks other than wandering off into the sunset.

"You're right. Luck and swagger aren't enough. We will need more power. Once we get complete this exchange, I shall endeavor to find more."

"No, Thren, I am not myself. My self was a fool. Flying around, getting bombed in basements, nearly getting Taniwha killed. I haven't taken this life seriously, Captain. I have some re-appraising to do. And this alchemist...the defeat burns."

Kahuranga almost completely ignores the crew, seemingly obsessed with whatever he is contemplating. When Thren says to get moving, he seems almost perturbed, certainly distracted, but he makes himself presentable.

The winds that always stir his hair and clothing are especially vigorous.

Kahuranga stays in sick bay, discomforted by the close walls. His is noticeably dour and deep in his head, slow to respond to inquiries or conversation.

Clearly this brush with death has shaken him.

Nothing else that I need to accomplish.

I'm still open to it. I'd need to do some prep to get things going, and I think you said you wanted a break for a month or so.

"At least most of it isn't your blood."

"I'm going to hope for 'off to Quent,' and I'm spending the trip in my hammock..."

"We've all made some bad decisions today, friend, but we just might make it out of here and have earned a Pirate Lord's esteem, if we don't trip over a poisoned floorboard."

Back down the hole it is!

"I suppose that is a fine trophy. Let's be careful, though. We don't know what this cat is or if it might be watching us, or if it might show up...Taniwha, throw that in the bag, it won't change the weight. Otherwise I don't think I could carry it.

"Captain, let's not spend too much time here. We have what we need to take to our friend."

He looks around warily, leaning on the bed.

Perception the basement: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Kahuranga focuses, fortunate that his will is stronger than his arms. "I don't think I could even climb the ladder at this point, but magic will carry me."

He takes a moment to check the table in the basement and then rises up the chimney shaft to search the bedroom.

Perception the bedroom: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

”Agreed. Loot the bedroom where we know there is no cat and then out through the windows if the windows don’t kill us.

I'm hoping between the antitoxin and Sandara's help Taniwha can shake his off with the lower DC.

T fort save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
T fort save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
T fort save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
T fort save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
T fort save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Once Kahuranga is restored to enough strength to no longer be paralyzed:

"I think we have enough to give Fairwind what she needs. Let's get out of here before 'the cat' gets curious."

I was thinking I had to make the save and take the damage at the beginning of my turn, which would keep me from drinking it since the damage took me to 0.

As long as they wait until the poison runs its course and then do the lesser restoration that should give me enough strength to move.

Fort save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Str damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Kahuranga reaches to take the vial of antitoxin, but convulses as the poison takes the last of his strength. The magic that keeps him afloat continues for a short while longer before he floats to the ground.

Unless this poison is especially deadly, usually when all of your strength is gone you are paralyzed. The flight works in increments of 10 rounds. When it wears off he feather falls to the ground for one round, enough to bring him safely to the floor.

Taniwha takes the vial and downs its contents, his draconic face twisting at the bitter taste.

"Ahhh, just like mamma used to make. Hey Thren, can you read this paper?"

"Some...sort of poison. Taniwha, too, but something different, I think. She almost burned him to death."

Fort save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Strength damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1 Leaving me at 2 Strength.

I do have one antitoxin.

He fumbles at the straps of his bag, pulling forth a vial from the top and tossing it to Taniwha.

is there more poison damage for K, because I’d love to end the fight paralyzed and floating like a balloon.

Kahuranga stumbles, if someone who is magically flying can stumble, into the wall, then overcorrects and bounces back down the hall. He comes to the edge of the mist and sees the guard.

"Invisible flying alchemists may be my weakness...but I believe you will find...that thuggish guards are my specialty..."

As he speaks, he draws a tiny iron bar from the pouch at his belt, running his thumb along it and intoning Auran words for the stillness of the wind.

Move action to fly 35 feet toward pirate guard. Standard to cast Hold Person.

Pirate Guard 1 Will Save DC 16: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Taniwha at 1 hp.

Taniwha stabilize: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Kahuranga motions the dinosaur to turn about and attack whatever is coming at them. The sylph takes a deep breath and turns to his friend. Despite the fog, he was connected to the dragon when it fell, and so has a good idea where Taniwha is. He flicks the wand and a glow of life spreads over charred body of the dragon.

Should still have the wand of cure moderate in hand.

Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 3) + 5 = 12

Kahuranga beams as his friend's eyes flutter open. "No more running off like that, little hero..."

Standard to cast with wand.

The dinosaur turns on its heel and races toward the approaching threat.

I'm assuming here that I can hear the guy running toward us. I know that both of my allies are flying. Sadly, the dino can't charge/pounce out of the fog because it doesn't have line of sight to the guy. That would have been cool.

Dino talon. Pirate is running and loses Dex to AC: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Talon damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Move action to move. Standard to attack.

So I've been pondering about how to choose which AOO Zarskia takes without metagaming, since I am aware of both opportunities at once (and, spoiler alert, she does not have Combat Reflexes). But I think she generally sees the summoned creature as pretty much no threat for various reasons, and knows K is a spellcaster, so would keep her attention focused on him. So she would ignore the chance to AOO the dino and wait to see what the spellcaster did.

Also, I completely forgot, her AC actually went up to 27 after she cast her spell (aka used her extract) on her turn (and her reflex save also increased by 1), but it's my bad I did not post that so I'm going to say you still hit and she still is at a Strength penalty (because if my GM was like "Oop I forgot a thing you didn't hit after all," I'd punch them). But I have updated the statblock for next round to bear in mind for future engagements.

That makes sense to me. The summoned creatures haven't been able to touch her.

As for the AC, it was a ranged touch, so still would have hit her.

Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you have a safe, restful, and restorative time.

This is what happens when an air witch and a water dragon descend into holes in the ground. Besmara give me strength, and if that doesn't work out, Calistria keep me alive long enough to avenge myself and my friend on this woman.

Deinonychus Grapple: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 = 14That will provoke if she is armed now.

Concentration check to cast defensively DC 17: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Miss chance high hits: 1d100 ⇒ 52

Ray of Enfeeblement: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Zarskia Fortitude Save DC 16: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

So if the dino is able to pinpoint her location with scent and point that out to me, then I hit her with a ray and she takes a -4 penalty to strength.

The dinosaur snaps his jaws where he can smell the new smell, but is unable to connect.

Kahuranga focuses on the area of the attack and launches an opalescent ray into it.

He can only do this from within 5 feet, so he will move if she has moved. Casting the spell does not provoke, but the ranged attack does.

Kahuranga snarls and leaps at the invisible flying alchemist, aiming for the spot the dinosaur is focused on and where the items just disappeared. His magic useless in this situation, he sinks to animal aggression.

Kahuranga Grapple: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24 I'm applying flanking bonus. If that isn't appropriate, it will reduce by 2.

Miss chance high hits: 1d100 ⇒ 37 Miss.

The dinosaur snaps ineffectually at Zarskia.

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Nothing. Just nothing.

sorry, working and on mobile but wanted to not hold up the works.

bat attack: 1d20 + 5 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 3 + 1 = 13 nope

Zeroing in on the source of the fire, the fiendish dinosaur slashes the air with its tail, lowering its head and launching forward. It vanishes into a swirl of mist.

Deinonychus Grapple: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25 Ha! Finally a break. This provokes if she is armed.

The beast leaps, its claws grasping at the floating alchemist.

Miss chance misses 1-50: 1d100 ⇒ 41 Oh well.

Move to get next to Z, Standard to grapple.

Kahuranga follows close behind, launching himself past the alchemist to reach his friend.

Kahuranga overrun: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Wow, 2 20s in a round and I accomplish nothing.

Move and standard to overrun.

1st: Sorry for not posting in Taniwha's alias this round.

2nd: as it is Zarskia's turn, feel free to kill T or K as is dictated by the antagonists' motivations. If one or more of me must die a fiery death, I shall consider it well earned.

Fiendish Deinonychus 24/34 HP | AC 15 T12 FF13 | CMD 17 | Fort+8 Ref +6 Will +2 | Resist Fire 5

Yep, I was just wanting to be sure where everyone is. Kahuranga should still have 100 feet of fly speed. He will move that far down the corridor, which gets him to 70 feet past the gate.

"Get away from him, you b*$+~!" doing his best Ripley.

Taniwha scrunches his eye ridges in pain and concentration. She is right, I can't run fast enough. I'll have to try to hide.

He calls upon the magic in his draconic blood to condense moisture in the air of the underground tunnel. Then he finds the best place he can to hide within the cloud.

Standard action to cast obscuring mist centered on himself. 40 feet worth of mist fills the air.

Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 Well, that is probably a dead dragon.

True, I was waiting on that, but that seems unnecessary.

Bat 1 attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 28

Bat attack crit confirm: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 15

Bat attack damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Bat 2 will ready to attack if the other pirate comes into range.

Bat 2 attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 23
