Ixius flinches as the viper bites him. He continues to attack the keche.
Claw attack (assuming flanking bonus) (1d20+5=6)
Second claw attack. (1d20+5=21), Damage (1d6+2=4), Sneak attack damage if appropriate (1d6=2)
Fippin didn't see those two, and apparently his hearing isn't working so well.
Fippin notes in his head that these creatures still haven't taken any overtly hostile actions against the party, and yet we are already trying to kill them.The three creatures at the front of the boat throw objects at Danner who begins to scream and twist about trying to pull the objects off of him. Then, all three pounce on Sperrago tearing him to shreds.
Chuol is caught alone behind the cabin. The two keches there throw vipers at him but the vipers do not manage to bite him this round. The apelike creatures do not attack him yet preferring to give the vipers a chance to do their job.
Round #3
Since Fippin probably can't see the action that well (given that the fighting in the cargo area is right underneath him, and the cabin is blocking his view to Chull and Keliwyn). He grabs his bow from Faruq and takes a running jump across to the roof of the main cabin. I'm not sure exactly how far the jump is, but I don't think it seemed more than 5-10'.
Jump- 1d20=18
That likely made it
Minor action- grab bow
Move action- jump gap to top of main cabin
standard action- unleash and arrow using true strike on the ketch fighting Darren in the cargo area
To hit (true strike)- 1d20+26=40
Damage-1d6+2=7

Round two:
Baas rages and uses his swift foot ability (move 70) and moves to front of the boat. And places himself between any enemies and Sykala. If that is not possible, he flanks and attacks any enemies adjacent to her and if no enemies are next to her, he finds the closest enemy to her. Whatever the case, he appears suddenly and calmly and matter-of-factly whispers to his victim: "I am death" and introduces the victim's heads to his earth breaker
Raging, Overhand Chop (1d20 11=29) actually only 28, wrong modifier
Raging, Overhand Chop damage (2d6 11=17)
Round three:
Raging overhand chop

If either attack takes an enemy down and I can cleave another enemy...
Just-in case Cleave (1d20 10=18, 2d6 11=14)
Round #3
Tarren:
Round #1:Summon Natures Ally II (Hippogryph-shows up and attacks just as I start round #2)
Round #2:Equip shield and cast barkskin
Round #3:Summon Natures Ally II (Crocodile-shows up and attacks just as I start round #4-if it can attack the third kech not being attacked by the hippogryph or Baas it will otherwise where ever it makes sense)(hehe, how's that for messin with your mappin skills ;-D)
Sykala again chants a long prayer to Gozreh in a language none understand bringing into being a crocodile to fight for the group.
Augmented hippogryphs claws (1d20+6=12, 1d4+6=9, 1d20+6=15, 1d4+6=7)
Augmented hippogryphs bite (1d20+3=13, 1d8+4=10)
Augmented Crocodile Bite (1d20+8=22, 1d8+8=14)
Augmented Crocodile Improved Grapple (1d20+8=16) +4 to this if they are small devil monkey things
Round 3:
Chuol ignores the throbbing pain caused by the creatures attack, instead trying to finish what he started by thrusting at the creature again with all his might.
Round 3
The asp bites deep just as Keliwyn maneuvers so as to put the second creature between him and Choul, causing his attack to miss.
For the Fippin's next actions he will cast spiritual weapon. He will then try to stay out of melee, by remaining on top of the cabin and firing his bow down at any opponents he can see, while his spiritual weapon attacks. If he sees a companion go down, he will hop down and try to stabilize his friend.
Crocodile Improved Grapple (1d20+8=16)[/url] +4 to this if they are small devil monkey things
Ixius feels weakened by the snake's bite. He does manage to circle around and claw at one of the pygmy keches.
Fippin leaps onto the roof of the pilothouse and shoots an arrow with incredibly precise aim into one of the keches fighting Danner.
Baas appears from nowhere and begins knocking heads, finishing off one of the wounded wicked beasts but misses with the second attack.
The hippogriff summoned by Sykala is unable to get beak or claw into any of the keches but the alligator snaps its maw onto one of them almost cutting it in half. The pygmy kech manages to wriggle free but leaves the croc enough flesh to chew on.
Keliwyn is also weakened by the bite of the black mamba.
The two remaining Keches at the front continue in their concerted attack on Danner. Bringing him down shrieking and bleeding to the ground where he is stung by the black mambas. Within seconds, the shrieking stops.
The two keches at the back tear into Chuol with amazing ferocity. [ooc]17 points of damage. You better finish them off.
The two black mambas at the back bite at Keliwyn but do not hit.
How'd you come up with the +8? I'm getting higher numbers but still no grapple.

Round #4
Hippogryphs claw attacks (1d20+8=23, 1d4+6=8, 1d20+8=17, 1d4+6=7)
Hippogryphs bite attack (1d20+3=11, 1d8+4=6)
Lightning Arc touch attack. (1d20+5=23, 1d6+2=7)
Sykala's eyes blaze with anger and a inner blue glow as she releases lightning once again at the nearest monkey creature. She then strides through what is left of the melee 30' toward the back of the boat where she knows two other creatures landed out of sight.
Fort save for secondary poison effect (1d20=15)
Ixius feels severely weakened by the viper's venom. He retreats 30' to the gangway between the cargo area and the back to get away from the vipers, then casts mage armor on himself. At this point he perhaps hears screams and the sound of combat from behind the cabin.
Perception, in case (1d20+5=6)
Round 4:
Starting to feel the pain of these creatures slashing claws, Chuol takes one last strike in an attempt to finish off one of the creatures attacking him. He lets out a yell as he does so. Then he steps back and picks a potion out from his pouch.

Keliwyn continues to press the attack against the second of the two creatures. His rapier manages to score a hit, and although the sudden wave of weakness keeps it from biting deep, it cuts a vital artery. Within moments, it's clear that the wound will continue to bleed.
1d20=13+5+2=20 to hit, 1d6=1+1= 2 damage,
bleeding attack rogue talent = 2 hp of damage every round
1d20=5+5+2=12 to hit, 1d4=4+1=5 damage
Chuol barely misses skewering the kech again with his trident.
Sykala's hippogriff continues to tear apart one of the keches. It no longer seems to have any interest in attacking but just stands up straight and whimpers. Sykala then hits it with an arc of lightning, finishing it off.
Ixius retreats from the vipers.
The one kech remaining on the front of the boat attempts to escape.
One of the black mambas bites Baas striking with great speed augmented by training at the hands of the vicious kech.
Fippin sees that Ixius and Keliwyn have their hands full and moves closer to them, calling upon Desna to allow him the use of a starknife. A starknife of pure energy appears whistling in the air and spins towards one of the keches. It misses the kech this round but spins up and around descending for another strike.
Keliwyn wounds one of the already injured keches. Chuol stabs the other one hurting it bad.
Both Keliwyn and Chuol are scratched by keches. The black mambas also try to strike but get stepped on by their own keepers and miss.
Round 5:
After taking a step back, Chuol swallows his potion with one quick gulp, throwing the vial to the ground and holding his trident up to the kech he's been stabbing all the time.
"Little ting, if you want to leave dis boat alive, I suggest you jump off, now."
[ooc]5-ft step back, drink potion, heals (2d8+3=11).
Ixius continues to move back toward the action on the cargo deck.
If he can reach a line-of-sight to one of the Keches in 1 move action he casts daze on it as his second action, otherwise he continues moving.
Keliwyn continues his fight alongside Choul. Although the beasts scratch causes his dagger to miss its mark, his rapier bites deep.
1d20=2+5+2=9 to hit, 1d4=3+1 damage,
1d20=18+5+2=25 to hit, 1d6=5+1=6 damage
1d20=14+5+2=21 confirm crit, 1d6=1+1=2 damage
Baas arm rears back, ready to make the ketch a little less three-dimensional, when his leg is pierced by sharp fangs.
Fort save vs poison (1d20 9=18)
He gazes with disdain at the serpent and crushes it.
Round four: Raging, Overhand Chop (AoO) (1d20 10=21, 2d6 11=13)
Noticing the Kech attempting to leave, Bass catches him on the backswing Round four attack. Same ole' bash (1d20 10=18, 2d6 11=19)
Round five:
Attacking the viper if it is still alive, if not the escaping kech if he is alive and present, if not, the closest enemy otherwise (I will use another swift foot, if needed to reach them).
Round five raging, running, overhand can of whoop@$$ (1d20 10=23, 2d6 11=19)
As Chuol drinks his potion, Faruq enters the fray. He leaps down with his falchion and slices into one of the keches harassing Chuol, killing it. Unfortunately, he stepped on the tails of two black mambas when he leapt. "Snakes? No one mentioned any snakes. Ouch! That will leave a scar!" he says, genuinely concerned about scar tissue on his calves.
Ixius appears from the gangway and casts a spell. The remaining kech seems confused.
Keliwyn finishes it off with his rapier.
Baas destroys the kech at the front that was trying to escape and then hammers the black mamba on the boat deck so hard that Hurg starts yelling obscenities from the engine room.
Sykala scans the trees for any more of this tribe. Seeing a few she shouts to Fippin who fires some warning arrows at some keches who were considering attacking the boat.
Baas watches the serpent slither towards escape and then squashes it.
AoO on the viper. (1d20 10=20, 2d6 11=19)
He turns to Sykala. "Anaka...what else do you" he stops shakes his head and starts over "Sykala, what else do you see? Are you harmed?"
Chuol deftly picks the snake up just behind its head and flips it off of the boat before it can bite him.
Chuol deftly picks the snake up just behind its head and flips it off of the boat before it can bite him.
Chuol looks around the boat for any other snakes looking to be thrown overboard.
Ixius draws his rapier and goes to cut the head off the last viper.
Being unused to actually using a weapon in melee, he misses badly.
"F@#$! There it goes!"
as it slithers into the cabin.
Seeing Choul grab one snake (with his bare hands, nonetheless!), Keliwyn skewers the other snake with his rapier before it slithers out of sight.
With Keliwyn's attack, the last snake is dispatched. The boat is a mess. The mosquito netting is torn. Speraggo and Danner are dead. The carcasses of several keches litter the deck. Several of you have been poisoned and are having trouble keeping from vomitting. Cargo is knocked over.
Hurg, the hairless dwarf, comes storming out of the cabin having climbed up from the engine room. He storms right around the cabin waving his finger at each and every crew member and shouting "No respect! I tells ya. A dwarf's gotta work down there but d'ya care? No! No, I tells ya. You and yer partyin' and carryin' on dancin' around right above me poor 'airless 'ead. It's like yer drummin' on the inside of me skull. BOOMBOOMBOOM. It's all I can 'ear. Now! Sit the 'ell down and stop stompin' around just above me 'ead."
He heads back down into the cabin giving no sign that he noticed the six bodies on the deck (two crew members and four keches).
Ixius plops down on the cargo deck.
"I got bit. I don't feel well."
Sykala immediately comes over and starts checking on those who have been poisioned, setting up a make shift infirmary in the cabin.
Fippin works at getting the mosquito netting back in place.
Faruq, calls Esteban, and points out that two crew members are dead.
"What are we going to do with them?"
"Throw them off the side. The jungle will eat them," says Esteban, "That's natures way, isn't it Sykala?"
Fippin will say some blessings to Desna for the dead before their corpses are cast overboard.
He will go over to examine Ix, but he doesn't have any spells to help deal with poison. At best he could make a heal check
The hippogryph and crocodile eat what they can of the keches before they leave.
He turns to Sykala. "Anaka...what else do you" he stops shakes his head and starts over "Sykala, what else do you see? Are you harmed?"
"Not hurt, see more tree monkeys but easy scare now" as Fippin shoots into the trees to scatter them. Sykala looks up at Baal, "Not know word A-n-a-k-a, what is?". Before he is able to answer she takes the bone dagger out, cuts open the snake bite, and sucks out the poison. Which she then binds with moss and leaves.
"What are we going to do with them?"
"Throw them off the side. The jungle will eat them," says Esteban, "That's natures way, isn't it Sykala?"
Sykala nods. "Meat now. We all eventually eaten. Strong live, weak eaten. Gozreh's way." She'll toss them over board as soon as a suitable group of crocodiles or piranha is found. She does the same with the kech and snakes.
Chuol will raise his spear in the air and whisper a few short words of thanks in Mwangi in order to properly send off the deceased crewmembers.
Afterwards, he will look to see how injured his companions are and help Fippin with any healing required.
First however, he takes a moment to heal himself, closing his eyes and concentrating as his wounds slowly disappear.

Before he is able to answer she takes the bone dagger out, cuts open the snake bite, and sucks out the poison. Which she then binds with moss and leaves.
Baas says nothing and goes to check on the other travelers.
Keliwyn thanks Sykala and the others for their healing. He winces, but admires the bandage over the snake bite. For the rest of the day, he tends to stay in one spot, sitting near the bow, with his bow in hand.
Ixius stays in the cabin, trying to get as much rest as he can. He is also thankful of the care given to him by the healers, especially Sykala.
Several days go by.
The journey progresses.
You pass the point where the Lesser Vanji adds its waters to the Vanji and, once past, the current is less powerful and The River Queen makes better time.
Having to fill in for the two dead crew members has meant a bit more work for all of you but it is not a hard life for the money you're getting.
"Esteban ... slow!" yells Faruq.
In the waters ahead of you you see a large white form floating slowly towards you from up river.
As it gets closer, you see that it is a flat bottomed boat.
You can see no passengers.
Baas says nothing and goes to check on the other travelers.
Sensing some internal turmoil she let's the question go, watching as he distracts himself with more "important" things.
For the rest of the day, he tends to stay in one spot, sitting near the bow, with his bow in hand.
Since he is spending so much time on the bow Sykala asks Keliwyn to speak in Elven. She points to different things as they pass on the river and says their names in Sylvan and then waits for the name in Elven. During this time he notices that she repeatedly glances at him and it becomes apparent that she is curious about his ears. Finally she blurts out, "You fey? Some fey? You speak close fey. You come from forest."
She visits Ixius every day to talk about the jungle and Gozreh (and cast Endure Elements). Touching his arm where the bite is, "Jungle change us. We end this journey different.....stronger. Old selves not recognize us when done."
"Esteban ... slow!" yells Faruq. In the waters ahead of you you see a large white form floating slowly towards you from up river. As it gets closer, you see that it is a flat bottomed boat. You can see no passengers.
Sykala looks toward the boat with curiosity but also scans the trees and water for danger in case it's bait. She will ready a gust of wind again to move the boat away from the barge if it becomes a threat.
Ixius is glad for Sykala's company while he is recovering from the snake bite, listening carefully to her words about Gozreh and the jungle, even though he cannot understand much of it.
"Jungle change us. We end this journey different.....stronger. Old selves not recognize us when done."
"I am already completely changed from the self I once was. I have been reborn I think."
When the other boat approaches, Ixius grabs his bow and goes out on the fore-deck.
Is Ixius at full Con by now?
