The Avalon Chronicles

[Krays]

Walks up to Vakkler with an empty bowl, with puppy dog eyes
"Please, Sir. May I have some more?"

lol. Oh, that's priceless. poor confused kids have probably never heard anyone describe a game of 'go fish' as a table of sin before. :D

"Please, Sir. May I have some more?"

"Some more? SOME MORE?!" Vakkler lowers the ladle into the pot and slops some more boiled rot grubs on Krays' plate. "Just be glad the other students are so picky. I may even have leftovers."

Vakkler then rushes to the 'table of sin'. He leaps up and yanks the nearest student out of their chair. The kobold climbs up on to the chair and glares at all assembled. "I'll be CONFISCATING those cards, then."

"What are those two doing?" Asch asks as he watches for any dangers.

Perception:1 d20 + 20

I don't think you're going to hear anything, since they went back into the mansion and closed the door.

"A creative way to stop the trees from rampaging. It's a good thing they can get up on their own." Rameil says as he observes the muddied trees.

I mean it as in why did Jiminy suddenly drag Ephebe back to the mansion.

"If they didn't all burn up already." 132 points of fire damage. Asch says as he continues to look around.

It was dang close. Most of those trees are hanging on at like 5 hp.

As for why Jiminy dragged Ephebe off, it would occur to Asch that Ephebe was acting a bit erratically, her vocal patterns not sounding entirely like herself and her reactions a bit off what you might normally expect from her.

Munches noisily on the gubs

"More experienced? Don't speak of things you don't understand." Aleister says as the edges of his eyes begin to darken the whites slowly disappearing his.

[Jiminy, Prankster of the Future]

Ephebe and Jiminy come back out. Jiminy looks cranky.

"She's staying. For now." He glared at his sister. "But if she starts acting weird again, you need to activate her amulet and send her back to Avalon immediately."

The kobold hisses and takes a step back. His eyes narrow. "Things I don't understand? I fought the drow for ten years. I fought alongside derro for five. Whatever you are, I've seen worse."

[Krays]

Stops munching on grubs as he looks on this awkward proff v proff situation

[Fieri del Sol]

"Whoah. It's like they totally switched personalities or something. Usually Phebe is the grumpy one barking out orders."

"What? You know I'm right."

[Dennis Buttercup]

Dennis chuckled and shook his head.

"Come on, guys, let's get going. It's not much of a survival exercise if we never leave the campsite, right?"

[Ephebe]

"Okay, so let's go. Lots of island to explore. I'm sure that we'll find lots of new and interesting things that will try to kill us today." ^.^

[Aleister]

Errr....the trees are gone now unless there are more.

Aleister's eyes lose focus for a moment as he realizes he was allowing Rinth to influence his emotions. He shuts down and bows his head to Vakkler and leaves.

When he arrives at his office he tears Rinth off his back and flings it away. The sword sinks halfway to the hilt in the wall.

"How dare you try to take over me!" He yells as his body shifts to its demonic form.

::Finally you show your true self.:: The sword replies cooly.

[Vakkler Relkav]

Vakkler smiles faintly. He starts to turn back to the prisoners, when he notices a pair of students running in the hallways. The kobold tears off after them.

Aislin could sense something was amiss and peaks into Aleister's office. She could feel the pin prickling sensation of her hair standing on end. She knew what this meant.

"Aleister!"
She yelled wide eyed with concern.
"What is going on? Why is Rinth in the wall and why are you angry?"
Aislin closes her eyes, shakes her head and lets out a sigh.
"Sit still, this wont hurt"
She grabs Alisteir with full force and gives him a hug followed by the gentle rubbing of his back. She did what she knew always soothed him. After she felt like he was calm enough she walks over to the teapot in his office and fixes him a fresh brew of chamomile and mint tea with an extra helping or two of sugar.
"Now tell me what happened honey, and be nice! You know I love you and I know you know that even when you are all demon-ed out..."
Aislin hands him a beautiful refined china tea cup with elegantly painted black roses and rimmed with fine silver. She pours the tea gently from the black porcelain spout of the teapot.
"Oh! I almost forgot your sandwich!Cut in half, no crust and extra cheese just how you like it dear."
Aislin cannot help but smile at him with his little tea cup.

[narrator]

Yes, the trees are gone now. The ones that weren't kindling hobbled off after Rameil.

The group heads out to explore the island and for the first little while doesn't really find anything of interest. And then they hear a crashing in the underbrush.

As they near the base of the mountain they see a small group of students running for their lives from an enormous snakelike creature chasing after them. The fleeing students are abruptly sent back to Avalon as the creature spits magma at them.

Vakkler has just assigned the pair lines ("I will not add evidence to the popular belief that humans are inane apes with no sense of consequences by running in the hallways")when his keen kobold ears detect the popping of multiple teleports. Growling, the teacher runs off. "I have to find another room. This one's full."

[Taron Sunwake]

"Hey Ruji." Taron says as he lays in the garden and the tressym lands on his stomach. Things hadn't gone over well with Kam when Taron explained his father was still alive, and he'd retreated to Adsila's garden to let him cool off. "Things are getting so crazy..."

[Fei, of the Sun Soul]

"....Are there no other wilderness survival classes at this school besides than this one?" Fei asks (to nobody in particular) as the area nearby is burned away by the hot magma, and yet another group of students with bad judgment skills are whisked back to the school. ;)

[narrator]

The snakelike creature spots new prey and slithers towards the group with surprising speed.

"Nope. They subscribe to the philosophy of giving you more than you can handle until you learn how to handle it."

"Everybody scatter!" he yells as the creature turns its attentions towards them.

Fei goes wide as the fireworm speeds toward the scattering group. He was beginning to wonder if his masters had sent him to this school as some odd form of punishment...

[Aleister]

"That sword is and its games! If I didn't fear what others would do with it I'd throw it away. And thank you for the tea." He says to Aislin for once his voice shows his love towards her rather than its normal emotionless tone.

"Pay it not mind dear, it is just a big knife with a big mouth"

She chuckled a bit and gave him another hug followed by a big kiss.
"I knew chamomile tea and a sandwich would bring you back to good spirit. I just wish I would have bought the sliced turkey, then I know you would be in a wonderful mood eh Ali-bear?"
Aislin nudges him with her elbow a bit in a jesting manner.

[Asch Redgrave]

"What the hell is that thing?" iAsch says as he moves out of the way with amada.

Asch Redgrave wrote:

Amada clasps her gun in her hand while rummaging around for her best scrolls.When finally loaded Amada aims it at the creature. She was ready to kill anything that would harm her or Asch. She studied the creature carefully with the precise eye of a predator. Her once gentle ruby eyes quickly shifted as her infernal blood coursed through her veins. Fangs slightly exposed under her full lips,

"I am not sure but whatever it is better not pull anything or it may find itself in a bit of trouble..."
Amada was always taught that if you didn't understand it, prepare for the worst from it, but never jump to killing. Always give it a chance first.

[narrator]

The creature lunged at Dennis and attacked.

Bite:1d20 + 23 ⇒ (7) + 23 = 30

Damage: 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (8, 7) + 12 = 27

Dennis yelled as the creature's powerful jaws closed on him and felt a burning sensation as the poison on its teeth worked its way into his system.

Dennis' Fort Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Dennis just barely managed to fight off the effects of the poison, but he was still bleeding profusely and the snake creature looked like it was hoping for steak for dinner.

[Fieri del Sol]

Fieri tosses a handful of flame spheres at the creature, which it doesn't even seem to feel.

"Oh, crap! Immune to fire!"

Wow, that's a surprise considering it just spit magma over some students before attacking you!

Hey, not everything that spits fire is immune to it...just most things...intelligence is not her high stat...;P

Okay, I'll give you the fire, but magma?

I realize that I have removed myself, a very good blaster than can use all the energy types, from this battle. I do not apologize, because that bite on Dennis looks like it hurt! XD
*goes to switch some monk abilities in for qinggong monk abilities*

[Asch Redgrave]

"Dennis don't move." Asch loads a Freezing Sphere shell and fires it leaving Dennis out of the blast. Two more shells are loaded and fired right behind it.

1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 221d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 191d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

12d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 3, 6, 5, 2, 5, 1, 2, 4, 3) = 4212d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 1, 4, 6, 2, 6, 2, 6, 4, 3, 1) = 4512d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 6, 1, 1, 6, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 4) = 50

[narrator]

The first two shots miss the target as the first one bounces off the creature's tough hide and the second one goes wide, but the third connects solidly. It roars in anger, but it doesn't seem very hurt and it looks to have taken less damage from that than it should have.

[Ephebe]

Ephebe takes aim, trying to hit Dennis with a Cure Moderate shell.

1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30
2d8 + 16 ⇒ (2, 2) + 16 = 20

The shot hits true and most of Dennis's wounds close up.

[Fei, of the Sun Soul]

Fei races in behind the creature and tries to help divide its attentions so they can keep it off balance.

Acrobatics check to avoid AoO:
1d20 + 29 ⇒ (9) + 29 = 38

Melee attack (with Stunning Fist-sicken) after move action:
1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34

Damage:
1d10 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 bludgeoning, and make a DC 28 Fort save or be sickened for 1 minute (–2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks).

Lynora:

Spoiler:

If it is relevant (i.e. if this thing emanates heat), Fei has cold and fire resistance 10.

[narrator]

Fei lands a solid blow on the creature and he's sure that it should have been damaged, but it doesn't seem to effect it in the least.
In other words, thing has DR.
Fort save: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24
While his hit doesn't seem to do any damage, it does appear to knock the wind out of the creature leaving it pissed off and gasping for breath. Also the wounds it received from Asch begin to close up.

Gotcha. Fei's Ki Strike is currently magic and lawful for purposes of overcoming DR (though my guess is this thing has something a bit different) :)

Fei shakes out his fist as he gets ready for another set of attacks.

"This...may take some time..." ;P

Beasty's turn now, or wait for the others to wake up first...? (^.^)

[narrator]

Beastie's turn now. You snooze you lose. ;P

The creature snaps at Dennis again, not yet ready to give up on the idea of a steak dinner.
1d20 + 23 ⇒ (7) + 23 = 30
2d8 + 12 ⇒ (7, 2) + 12 = 21

It also claws at Dennis.
1d20 + 23 ⇒ (4) + 23 = 27
1d8 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

1d20 + 23 ⇒ (1) + 23 = 24
1d8 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

And then it thwaps its tail at Fei.
1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 4) + 6 = 15
and grab1d20 + 31 ⇒ (2) + 31 = 33

[narrator]

Dennis once more gets munched and this time also torn at with claws and has to fight off poison once more.

Fort save:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

Unfortunately this time he doesn't make it and the burning he feels becomes more severe.
Fire damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5
Con drain: 1d4 ⇒ 4

And his amulet abruptly activates just as he falls unconscious.

Poor Dennis - ouch. Now to try and avoid the same fate... (o.O)

Fei narrowly avoids the creature's massive tail, and instinctively vaults to the side as it tries to close around him. Seeing Dennis fall and then disappear, he redoubles his efforts to convince this thing to leave them alone.

Flurry of Blows, using Versatile Unarmed Strike to alternate between piercing and slashing damage. Applying stunning fist (fatigue) to all rolls, Fort DC 28 to resist if hit - if two or more saves fail, it is exhausted instead.

Also, I'm starting to think that CR is determined by throwing darts at a board...holy crap! This thing is theoretically a lower CR than the party and it's way worse than the stuff that was several levels above you guys. Sorry about that, I had no idea! At least you have those amulets. :)

[Amada]

Amada loads a shell into her caster and fire a hold monster spell and then fires a second shell bringing a T-rex into existence next to the creature.
"Play nice now." She says as she telepathicly instructs the T-rex to attack the creature.

If SR1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

It's immune to mind-affecting spells. But at least the T-rex gives it a possible playmate other than Fei. :)

The creature now moves at only half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –6 penalty to Strength and Dexterity. These are in addition to the penalties for being sickened.

I'll take it - that stuff adds up :D

[Asch Redgrave]

"Guess I have to get serious now." Asch says when Dennis disappears. As he says this shadows begin to swirl around him encasing him in what appears to be armor leaving his glowing red eyes visible. He begins to fire both his guns so quickly you'd swear you only heard one gunshot yet multiple bullets are fired from the guns.

Magma Snake is designated as the subject of my greater deadly focus ignoring his DR and a +24 to attack and damage :)

Attacks:

[narrator]

The T-Rex snaps at the linnorm with its enromous teeth.

Can't find entropic template in prd or srd. What does it do?

Attack: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (3) + 22 = 25
Damage: 4d6 + 22 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 4) + 22 = 36
Grapple attempt: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (3) + 32 = 35

Sadly for the dinosaur it misses entirely its teeth bouncing off the creature's tough hide.
