Round 5:
Moving around Grauchi, Sassarra, and Skrelznit draw attacks from the large beast.
As
Grauchi moves closer to the beast it swings out a tentacle hitting him. The tentacle wraps around Grauchi and pulls him closer.
The same is tried with Sassarra but Sassarra quickly swims low and punishes the beast for its failure with a shock.
Skrelznit also swims past a swinging tentacle before striking the beast in the backside.
Pew - Pew moves up and slams his Pistol down on the beast, breaking thru what protections the beast had. The big fish drops from the blow; dying.
Malicar safely finds a place to sit Quinn.
End of combat.
Grauchi took 6 damage from a tentacle.
After a little time passes Mopsank starts to move again. Not long after Quinn moves too.
Quinn turns to the party. "Thinks for the save. The mother was going to feed me to her son."
Quinn starts going about the room grabbing stuff that some in the party remember her having before. Many other things can be see around the room worth something.
The water looks to still be rising.
Pew-Pew retrieves the candlerod from his bandolier and begins to look around as well.
Someone grab magic stick she had. It make big fishie, maybe still magic!
Malicar is halfway through stuffing the obviously-magical trinkets on the spellcaster's body into his pack, having scanned them with detect magic, when Pew-Pew speaks. "Yes, 'magic stick' indeed."
Sassarra will watch to note what he puts in his pack.
Having found nothing of interest Pew-Pew heads back towards the cave entrance.
Water rising, leave soon.
"We have another person to find. And we need to teach these creatures that they do not capture kobolds without facing retribution!" Her voice rolls like thunder in her conviction.

Grauchi looks around the room as well.
As he sees what the other have found he explains the items they found.
Pew-Pew is amazed at everything the others found.
I see none of those. His eyes catch on the daggers that Skrelznit is inspecting.
Pew-Pew has only long metal tooth. Showing off his cutlass. Has no short metal tooths, and those so shiny. Pew-Pew have one?
Sassarra looks this over, "People should use whatever they need for now and we'll tally it all up when we have time."
Pew-Pew excitedly takes one of the masterwork daggers, admiring how the candlerod's light dances on the blade and twirling it between his fingers before finding a place for it in his belt.
Mopsank quietly snarls at the upstart newcomer thinking he's entitled to one of those beautiful knives... but he knows better than to make a fuss. He grabs the other daggers, including the shiny silver one, and stows his old pair for now.
Grauchi seems to be happy with the wand. Now he needs to learn the elemental languages.
Grauchi follows Skrelznit, a tear in his eye for leaving the plunder behind, but he knows they'll come back for it.
Pew-Pew will again remain in the back of the pack so that his candlerod will not spoil vision or stealthiness of his new comrades.
Mopsank stays near Pew-Pew, because he doesn't trust him. He doesn't trust anyone, really. But at least being near the back is safer.
coming into this cave you find much of it covered in seaweed. The current of the water swaying back and forth, slowly rising.
Sassarra will quietly follow.
Malicar follows, fire smoldering in his belly and ready for burning.
Seeing Mopsank pacing him, Pew-Pew takes it as an opportunity to try to find out what is going on.
"Where are us? Why squiddies attack? How Pew-Pew go home?"
While looking around Skrelznit sees a large spike cage up above. It looks to be a trap meant to fall and hold anyone under it down to drown.
He also sees tied to the underside a a blue Kobold; Cog.
Mopsank glares at his inquisitive new friend. "Stop talking! Something is gonna hear us."
Then he takes a closer look at the trap Skrelznit mentioned, to determine if there is a convenient way for him to disable it.
Sassarra prepares to dive to help cog if the trap goes off.
Grauchi looks around, are there other octogoblins?
Mopsank sees how he can try to lower it slowly.
Cog does not look to react to being called out to.
Looking abashed Pew-Pew stands in the back of the room as the rest of the group works to bring Cog down from the ceiling.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Mopsank slowly and carefully does whatever nondescript thing is necessary to manipulate some mechanism or something.
Grauchi steps out of the way of what he expects is a possible danger zone, but keeps himself ready to intervene if necessary.
Mopsank trips the trap making it fall. But he ducks out of the way before getting trapped under it.
It looks like a few good hits may break the portcullis open, or you could try to lift it.
Grauchi swims closer and calls for the others to help lift the thing, especially at Skrelznit, who looks the strongest of the group.
.
Pew-Pew help!
Rushing forward pew pew braces himself against the cage and lifts.
Sassarra swims down to give Cog air until they can get him free.
Working together you are able to get the cage up a little, allowing Sasarra to get Cog out.
Cog is unconscious, but alive.
Skrelznit does not find any treasure, but does find some floating wood.
