"'Old on, 'old on, I'm comin'!" Lavanna calls to the others as she quickly tries to patch Elsir's wounds.

Action 1: Stride
Action 2: Interact to draw healer's tools
Action 3: Battle Medicine on Elsir
Medicine to Treat Wounds (DC 20): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21
2d8 + 10 ⇒ (8, 7) + 10 = 25 that should get Elsir to full health

Just an FYI, I'm going to be out of town this coming Monday-Thursday, and don't think I'll be posting at all.

If you need to bot me, I think the plan is to use ray of enfeeblement next round and move next to whoever's most injured (Jadren/Elsir), so I can Battle Medicine them then following round. Then move to next person for more Battle Medicine.

Lavanna prays again to Gozreh, hoping to heal all of her friends and harm the skeleton at the same time.

Final heal, actually intentionally three actions this time.
3d10 ⇒ (10, 9, 7) = 26 That's a better roll.

"Gozreh, wash away my friend's harms of this world, like detritus on the beach," Lavanna prays, some of the power trickling over to heal her small scratch.

3 actions: Heal
Healing: 3d10 + 24 ⇒ (8, 1, 6) + 24 = 39 Bigger dice due to feats, plus heal back to my max HP

Will definitely work on healing next turn.

Lavana prays again. "Gozreh, let your winds break the clouds, and the sun's light sear this skeleton!"

She moves to find a clear line, then shoots out a blast of fiery light. It looks like it's going to miss, but at the last moment, a strange gust of wind pushes her arm slightly to the right and the blast scorches the skeleton.

Action 1: Stride
Actions 2-3: Cast Searing Light
Ranged spell attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Ranged spell attack (Hero Point reroll!): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
Fire: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 3, 4, 1) = 16
Good: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 2, 1, 2) = 14
Both damages are doubled if that was a crit hit.

Lavanna moves up and quickly offers a prayer to Gozreh to give them strength.

"The Wind and the Waves, let your power surge through Jadren, with the force of a hurricane!"

Action 1: Stride
Actions 2-3: Cast Heroism on Jadren; +1 status bonus to attack rolls, Perception checks, saving throws, and skill checks for 10 minutes

Yeah, I have the gaff, and I'd say we're ready to go on and through the door.

"Oooh," Lavanna admires the scene, offering a quick prayer. "Thank you for that beauty, Gozreh."

Realizing they're still banged up from Gozreh's loving attention, she makes sure everyone's wounds are bound and bandaged before opening the door.

Medicine to Treat Wounds (DC 20)-Kaako: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
2d8 + 10 ⇒ (8, 3) + 10 = 21 Full health
Medicine to Treat Wounds (DC 20)-Jadren: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
"Bloody 'Ells! Sorry, Jadren!" 1d8 ⇒ 6

Medicine to Treat Wounds (DC 20)-Lavanna: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27
2d8 + 10 ⇒ (1, 3) + 10 = 14 down 1 hp

Medicine to Treat Wounds (DC 20)-Jadren: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
4d8 + 10 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 6) + 10 = 26 Full health, even with the damage from the crit failure earlier

As Lavanna picks herself up and recollects herself, she manages to pat the scrap of a map she got from the captain, and gasps as she recalls its message.

"I just remembered, the captain sent me a message, not to take the swords or spears. We might want to look for a couple other items from the other room, right?"

She rushes back, replacing her spear with the gaff, another weapon she was more than familiar with from her time at sea.

"Sorry, Cawlo, had a little mishap 'ere, didn't I?"

Back in the other room, she makes sure everyone is ready and tries again with the coins. She matches the same coin to symbol, but places them in a different order: sun, then stars, then moon and comet. I'm pushing ahead, but I assume others would speak up if they had anything to indicate otherwise.

I just checked Roll20 (hurrah for getting my new computer set up!) and I have another line on my altar clue: The stars come out right before the moon rises.

So I think I'm right about the order on this second guess: sun, then stars, then moon and comet.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, THOUGH:
My map has the following message: Pay homage to the lost, take not their blade or spear if you want to win the pirate king's treasure.

So I'm thinking I probably want to take a different weapon: Can I swap my spear out for the gaff?

And does anyone else have any clues? (I don't know if we want to retcon our actions, or have a sudden recollection of it and play it out. I'm happy either way.)

That's the order I did place them in. Can't get onto roll20 right now to check the handouts due to computer issues. I should be able to tomorrow.

"Oi, seems like Gozreh wasn't all that 'appy," Lavanna says, collecting herself. "Looks like I might'a done it wrong, innit?"

She thinks.

"Maybe I should'a placed sun, then stars, then moon and comet?" she says. Though I'm open to suggestions.

While the others discuss, she spends a few minutes treating her own bruises.

Medicine to Treat Wounds: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 success!
2d8 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5

I'm still down 13 so might be worth spending some more time doing first aid. I assume Jadren's down 11...

Ah, that's what we needed. Thanks!

"All right, now we're talkin'," Lavanna says.

"So, we got the moon is silver or platinum, but it can't be platinum, cuz the comet's worth 100 times more, innit? So, the moon's gotta be silver, and that means the comet is platinum."

She ticks off the pairings on her fingers.

"So we got the sun and stars left, and gold and copper. The sun's worth more, so it's gotta be gold."

She looks around at the others to make sure they agree. If no one objects, she picks up the four coins and places them in the following order.
Sun: Gold
Moon: Silver
Stars: Copper
Comet: Platinum

"Gozreh, I 'ope you don' mind if we give a little prayer to your sister god, Desna, since I think this is more up 'er alley. May she 'elp us find our way as we sail yer seas."

Lavanna, her new spear in hand, nods to the others and leads the way back to the other room. "Oi, guess we need to figger out what's happening 'ere, now?"

She looks around at the four stone pedestals in the semicircle around a small altar.

Four stone sculptures on the alter: sun, crescent moon, constellation of stars and comet racing through the sky. Four pedestals.

"Guessin' we need to be matching the sculptures with the right pedestal," she muses.

"Sun is golden, and the moon is silver, innit? But I don't know the others."

Any thoughts?

"Strange for you to say that, Elsir," Lavanna shoots back.

Lavanna blinks. "Wasn't expectin' that, now," she says. "What other tricks you get up your metal sleeves, Cawlo?"

Lavanna shrugs at the paucity of choices -- no trident?! -- and selects the spear. She'll use it if she must, but she prefers her own trident.

I think we all wanted to go in the same direction; I moved Lavanna on Roll20, at any rate.

Lavanna nods. Sure, Elsir will steal anything he thinks he can get away with, but in this case, he might have the right of it. She scans any tridents in the room, looking to see if any might have a rune etched on it, then selects one for her use.

"Oi, another riddle, innit?" Lavanna asks, eyeing the domed chamber. "This one's a bit trickier, though."

She shrugs.

"Maybe we see what the bird wants first? Maybe some clues that way?" she suggests.

I have no idea off the top of my head on this puzzle; I'd say let's see what that plaque might say.

Medicine to Treat Wounds for Kaako (DC 20): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14 Oh, for f+!@ sake. 1d8 ⇒ 3

"Sorry!" Lavanna says as she realizes her attempts to wrap the tengu's ribs was too tight. "Maybe I should just use magic?"

That said, since again we don't seem to be under any time constraints, I think it makes more sense to just keep waiting another hour and try again.

Sorry, it's such a habit ingrained into me to do rolls in PBP that I tend to forget about secret rolls. Feel free to just ignore mine when I do that and reroll if you want.

Her inspection of the statue done, she gives a little prayer to Gozreh to thank them for not killing the former boatmates, and looks around.

"Is everyone OK now? I can do a little surgery if we need before we go in."

Medicine to Treat Wounds for Kaako (DC 20): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16 Doh, fail!

"Er, sorry, I think that needs a little time to let the blood clot, and then I can try again." I don't think we're in any rush.

"Thank Gozreh!" Lavanna says. She glances at the door, but then goes to take a closer look at the statue.

Perception (trained): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

"Elsir!" Lavanna calls out. He may not be her favorite person in the world, but she doesn't want to see him smashed into paste ... most of the time.

She concentrates for a moment on her spectral trident, and then intones another prayer to Gozreh, that she heals the damage his watery servant has done to the sorcerer.

Single action to Sustain a spell, then two actions to cast heal
Spiritual weapon Strike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
Force: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Heal on Elsir: 3d10 + 24 ⇒ (9, 2, 8) + 24 = 43 d10s because of a feat; also heals 3 for myself

Lavanna lets out a light cry as her goddess' servitor shoves her back and strikes again.

"The storm may be my master," she calls out to it, "but it will not master me!"

With that, she moves away from it and calls out a prayer to her goddess. A phantasmal trident appears near the wave, jabbing at it.

1 action: Stride; 2 actions: Cast spiritual weapon
Strike: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
Force: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

I need to switch computers to get on Roll20; will do that when I can.

Lavanna's jumps back as her god unleashes his fury! Oops!

Lavanna glances over at Jadren and smiles.

"Yes, an' give an offering!" She pulls a gold piece from her purse and tosses it into the pool.

"By the tide and tempest," she offers her god/goddess. "We will remember Captain Renlock."

"I'm fine," Lavanna says quickly, recovering her weapons, "but I can help if anyone else is hurt."

She quickly patches the worst of Kaako's and Elsir's injuries before looking around to see if anyone else needs anything Can't tell if you need anything Jadren. Once the group is set, she turns her attention back to the statue, carefully moving closer once Kaako says it's safe. If she knows anything of pirates and hunts for treasure from her years on ships and reading tales, it's that there are often traps.

Medicine (DC 20) to Treat Wounds for Kaako: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
Critical success!: 4d8 + 10 ⇒ (5, 5, 7, 7) + 10 = 34 Damn! That should get Kaako right.

Medicine (DC 15) to Treat Wounds for Elsir: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23
Critical success!: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9

Seeing that there are only two ants left, Lavanna throws her trident at one fighting Kaako, as Jadren isn't standing between her and it.

Shrugging, she pulls her dagger a moment and throws it at the same ant, wincing as it hits nothing but the stone wall beyond.

Shouldn't have rushed that...

Strike, Interact to draw dagger, Strike
Trident: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
2d8 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10

Dagger (agile, iterative, -2 for range): 1d20 + 9 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 4 - 2 = 4
1d4 ⇒ 2

Lavanna starts as the ants -- she suspected something would come out of that collapsed wall, and it probably could have been worse! -- but stays where she is. Realizing no one seems to be hurt that badly, she decides to try to make sure it stays that way.

"Oi, keep that lot occupied, and holler if you need some 'elp!" she calls out call out if you need healing.

She prays, hoping to catch a few of the ants in her spells: "Gozreh, let them hear the sound of your thunder, the rushing wind, the crashing seas!"

Cast sound burst, trying to catch the three leftmost ants. Also, man, divine spell really needs some useful cantrips.
Sonic: 2d10 ⇒ (4, 9) = 13 DC 21 Fortitude save

"Yeah, looks like it could be Gozreh. Good sign, that. Better than Besmara, at least!"

Lavanna, thinking Kaako has the right of it, makes sure her trident is firmly in hand as she advances.

"Oi, you lot hear that?" she whispers, hefting her weapon and making sure her religious symbol is hanging free on her neck.

She intones a quick prayer to Gozreh going to cast shield as an exploration activity, and begins advancing toward the statue, staying away from the collapsed wall. Posting and moving now to keep things moving, though I think I'd try to keep behind our trap spotter and well-armored friends.

Lavanna's eyes widen at the secret passage.

"Well, 'oo knew the cap'n 'ad that in 'im? 'E ever mention it to you, Jadren?" she asks, giving the human a conspiratorial nudge. "Now that we don't 'ave to worry about real plunderin', let's see what 'e's left us!"

Lavanna nods, and tries Kaako's suggestion. If it doesn't work, she tries the opposite direction. It's like me with real combination locks; I never quite remember which way to go to get them started.

"Yes, yes they do," she says over her shoulder to Elsir, voice dripping with sweetness, before turning her attention back to the wheel.

Hmm. Any checks I can make to help me figure it out? If not, I would move the part marked north to the top, then spin it probably clockwise until south pointed up, then counterclockwise back until north is up again, clockwise to east, then counterclockwise back to north.

Lavanna's expression seems to freeze a moment as the others put off the idea of raiding again, as if she's trying to maintain her calm, but having to force it.

"You're right, this ship ain't going t'sail again, but ... what if that's not what the cap'n meant? What if it's a riddle? I've 'ad enuff drinks with enuff Besmarans to know they love that," the halfling says, voice rising with excitement as she considers.

"Cawlo landed 'ere near the wheel. Maybe 'is message 'as something to do with that, and th'compass points on it."

"From the shackles north to Varisia, then return home south, then east to Absalom and fin'ly north to the River Kingdoms."

She reaches out for the wheel and tries to steer north, then south, then east, and finally back north again.

As she waits, she turns back to Elsir. "No idea why 'e'd pick you, Elsir. Must be 'nother one o' those mystries we're meant to figger out."

No idea if I'm steering us the right direction, but it's my best guess.

Lavanna leans on her trident as she looks around at the others, smiling at Jadren and Kaako as her raven hair blows in the wind. She looks out to sea, her expression falling away to a more pensive mien.

Are you trying to tell me something, oh, Wind and Waves? Old friends -- and Elsir. Maybe I m'life's grown a little too calm, stuck in the doldrums?

She blinks and shakes her head, coming out of her private reverie.

"Should we raise a toast to ol' Cap'n Renlock? 'E seems to have brought us all t'gether again."

Maybe you're Jewish now. :)

Sounds good. I'll download the updated Lavanna and get her into my alias. I do wish Paizo were quicker on updating avatars so I could use the real Lavanna's image. Instead, I'll go with another halfling sailor/boat captain.
