The sun blazes down on the choppy water of the Yondabakari River as the party of brave heroes treks down the bank. On the southern side the bank of the riverbank is riddled with small tributaries leading into a vast Mushfens. A massive bog of epic proportions.
With the wind whipping up the choppy water and a slight spray misting the party the slight disturbance up ahead nearly goes unnoticed before the waters part and large bulky monster rears up, water streaming from its hulking form as it stamps upon the banks some 60ft down river of the party.

The massive creature with gaping claws and a tusked mouth howling loudly, a crude axe formed from a broken shard of boat decking and a gaff spike clutched in its hooked and clawed hands...
Its on the bank 60ft away from you.

Its carnage as the monster slashes at Kael. Heeran and the mangy troll Tanos lurch forward. The dwarf unable to penetrate the tough hide but the hammer of the gnoll shatters bones. The beast's regenerative power not able to heal all of the brutal blow.
Even as that happens the Magus strikes again but impeded by the chest injury cannot hurt the monster. Even as he strikes with a dull thwack an arrow slams into the creature's check angering it further.
The sorceress walks forward- unable to find a gap for the wave of colour so instead calls upon her ancestry - her face twisting into a horrible snarl trying to scare the beast away...

Despite the magic the beast lashes about in a blind fury - its bestial mind lunging forward for a bite of gnoll as the claws lash at Heeran and Kael.

The hunched gnoll grunts affirmatively in the general direction of Thak, before hobbling over to the fallen body. Both hands reach down, and strong fingers with untrimmed nails ripped off two large chunks of bloody, greenish meat.
Tanos holds one out to Heran as his jagged teeth take a bite out of the other.
Heran may be aware that heirarchies of who-eats-what are a rather big deal in Gnollish culture.

Not long after the monster is dead, a humanoid figure emerges from the woods on the opposite side of the riverbank.
As he pauses to observe the surrounding and process the aftermath of the battle, the band of heroes is able to see that the new arrival is a young human who, by the way he moves and his overall physical fitness, does not see to be a stranger to combat.
That looks like one amazing fight we just missed! hails the man as greeting
In a display of athleticism, the monk runs across the bank and, finding a narrower spot in the river, he jumps across to the other side
My name is Thrune, and my companion and I continues the monk, pointing back to the forest as if nothing had happened had been tracking this beast for the last couple days, but it would seem that your group beat us to it.
I heard that there are more creatures in the area, and it seems you have been blessed and cursed with a knack to find them. Would you mind if we joined your band for a while?

Grendil comes forth from the undergrowth next to a large Sabertooth tiger, which lopes out with him, a hare in its mouth.
The half orc jogs up next to Thrune and smiles, his spear in hand and he merely shrugs as the man asks what they can do.
"I am a Druid of the wild, Rascal here" he pauses to ruffle the large creatures main as its sharpening and cleaning its huge teeth of some wood "he's a good companion, he'll fight anything I will, plus I can call upon the power of nature every now and then, healing some, and calling animals to aid in fights."
Upon hearing the hiss of a new oncoming monsters he stands with spear in hand, Rascal jumps up, his hackles standing upright.

And I am trained in a number of hand to hand techniques replies the monk when describing his abilities
--------------
When the creature appears, Thrune quickly turns around in the direction of the foe. Quickly calculating the distance to the foe, the monk realizes that he would not be able to reach it while maintaining his usual fighting style.
Adjusting his methods, the monk runs out to the edge of the bank and drops into a fighting stance.
Wait until it attacks me first! calls Thrune to the others
Actions
Swift: Activate Crane Syle
Move: Move 30' in the direction of the enemy (probably closer to the edge of the bank, but anywhere is ok as long as he can maintain footing on the ground)
Standard (Readied action): If enemy gets within range, attack while fighting defensively

Heeran glances round. A stone tablet by Kragen Thunderhammer coming back to him describing River Drakes as short, mean quasi dragons. Strong and fast with exploding acid spittle!
True to form the one in the water closes its eyes briefly as the Orc throws a flare towards it but it seems to have no outward effect. The squat creature rears its head up out the water and scuttles onto the very edge of the bank before coughing up a massive gobbet of partially digested acidic spittle that streaks towards the rest of the party...
So spits an acid ball at the party where Tanus (1), Thak (2), Dalya (3), Kael (4) and Heeran (5) are still standing.
Its hits 3 of them (randomly determined to be 3 standing near each other as you walked along) [roll0] taking the first 3 non-repeat rolls.
Acid Ball is [roll1] damage and save Ref DC14 for half and to avoid being entangled
The acidic spittle ball splattering burning sticky gooey slime over half of the party leaving them covered in acidic glutinous muck.
The second Drake takes everyone by surprise, Its normally ambushing tendancies kicking in as it suddenly rears up and pounces on the monk who has strayed too near the river bank!
The long sinuous form leaps forward in a torrent of teeth and claws and lashing tail upon the hapless monk...

If successful he pushes it directly away from Rascal.
Carnage breaks out on the river bank. Thrune falls bloodily to the ground as the drake savages the monk tossing his body aside in a bloody heap. Even as he does that Rascal streaks in clawing at it.
Half of the party dashes in, Heeran's blade sliding off its head even as Rascal's claws fail to do much damage. As the ball of acidic spittle splatters the party the Sorceress reveals her horror at the Drake.
Drake 1 [roll0] VS DC 16
Even as that happens the magus lashes out with a casual blast of magical energy scoring the drake's hide. Thak also responds as his skin sizzles with the acid before his two return arrows splash harmlessly into the water.
The fighting continues as the Gnoll races in to join Heeran and Rascal, the hammer slamming a massive chunk out of the drake as Rascal sinks his teeth into some more, claws shredding and tearing at it leaving it near death.
Before it can respond Grendil runs in the water wave pushing the beast backwards in a vast wave.
The wounded drake surges back into the fight leaking ophidian ichor and lashes out at the doughty dwarf inquisitor.

The battle begins to heat up as the river edge soon begins to stain red with blood as the River drakes cutting fangs and slashing tails begin to wound and hurt the party.
Tanos lashes out again with the heavy hammer but in the melee it goes astray from its mark. The same fate befalls Thraks arrows as the pair of whizzing ash shafts go astray of the mark.
Dalya, still singed from the acid advances - her wounds healing up as she drains the minty fresh healing potion. Her advance slower than the magus who sprints past her into a flanking position near the gnoll.
Heeran - the doughty inquisitor ignores the blood and the combat and with deliberate focus rams the blade deep into the Drake's throat leaving the beast rolling belly up on the ground as litres of draconic visceral fluids pour out.
The original drake lets loose a reptilian hiss and waddles out of the water forward past Grendil and Rascal to chomp on the Inqsuitor.

Quickly he moves over to the mauled monk, dragging him back from the edge of the river, which is about the extent of the aid he can offer the man.

Thank you says Thrune to Heran as he sits up and gets his thoughts in order
Since the last thing he remembered was a splash coming from behind him and now he could see two fallen enemies, the monk realizes that he had just walked into a trap.
At this point the monk kneels in front of the others and brings his right fist into his left palm in a sign of respect
If it were not for all of you, I would have been killed. I believe in the principle of "A life for a life", so if you would agree to it, I would like to stay with your group until I have been able to repay the debt I have just incurred.
As the party begin to patch their wounds the druid looks around "I wish you well my fellows but the balance of nature is upset by recent events to the North so I must travel that way. I wish you well"
And the half orc and the rascal leopard pad North.
The evening begins to dim as the party assemble a few lean to's amidst the sparse copses of trees nearby and a over a merry campfire and a some mud roasted fish get to know one another
"An overnight" means all Hps and spells fully restored.

The evening for the brave adventurers passes well. Even more so for the party after the elf's sharp eyes and the dwarves intrinsic sense for gold finds the small cave in the bank where the pair of Drakes lived. A smattering of skeletons and their bags yielding some generous loot including the cool minty bottles of healing balm.
Two days of swamp walking pass quietly with no encounters as the river is crossed and the flies and leeches build up around you all. Well all save the gnoll as Tanos's mangy hide proves unpalatable to swamp flies.
As the midday sun creates a warm humid muggy cloying environment the trees give way to a small clearing. Where 300ft away from the group amidst the slimy streams and a few scattered humanoid skeletons lies some ruins. A selection of symbols on them weathered and pitted with moss.

The sharp eyes of Thrune and THak spotting a strange purple glow emanating from the tails of these monstrous wasps...

The two massive wasps, bulbous tails the size of a small dwarf much less the rest of the pinched and chitinous beasts. They buzz forward on opalascent wings like cruel aerial hunters...
As they flit forward through the muggy swampy air their tails begin to glow and suddenly spinning balls of energy streak forth on trails of murky purple energy.
The balls of energy striking Tanos, Thrak, Heeran and Dalya...
Wasps buzz forward 60ft to close to 200ft
They fire missiles of energy (As magic missiles with range 520ft)

Surprised by the wasp's ranged capabilities, Thrune realizes that a quick change of tactics is needed if the group is to survive.

Even as the gnoll drops into the bushes vanishing from sight the wasp and the monk exchange a flurry of blows as Thrune's fists cannot damage the heavy chitin and fluttering wings force him back - neither can the arrows fired by the monk of the bow.
Even as that's happening heavy footfalls announce the arrival of the inquisitor in support of the lone monk.
The second wasp as it buzzes closer twitches as the crossbow bolt slams into a wedge of the chitin before a swinging blow from a flashing longsword cuts off the tip of one of its legs.
The two wasps now with prey buzz angrily hovering in the air. Stingers plunging down attempting to skewer Thrune and Kael...

While that's happening Kael, Dalya and Thrune begin the attack. Acid missing and the grease being dissolved by the swampy slimy water.

Arrows flying wide of the combat the swam warlock gave Thak a nasty glare. The glare was transferred to Heeran as the toothy axe met the sword in a shower of sparks. Seconds later it was over for the warlock - a fast moving elf darting round and a single darting stroke to the neck and a fountain of blood ending the threat of the swamp wizard.
Nearby the crocodile's heavy hide deflected the crossbow bolt before with a sickening crunch Thrune broke its leg, as it lashed at him he brought his elbow down hard on its nose shattering bones and teeth...
Seconds later with all 5 of the party unleashing their fury upon it the beats was dead.... a nice set of shoes or a hide shield all it was worth.
The crocodile was just alive, but as Thrune can deflect all of its attacks it would just die this round so I'm killing it off.

The night in the swamp passes uneasily with buzzing, chirping and grumbling emanating and echoing from the reeds and misty starlit grass patches. However the night is safe and no attack occurs.
Dalya and Kael with some assistance form the learned monk Thrune study the strange portal. They can detect the magical locking mechanism within and after some extensive study Dalya begins to believe that the door is connected to one of the ancient Thassilon magic lords - "Greed". If the something is sacrificed (blood most likely) then the portal may open. Or the crowbar may be used to assault door... but its a lot of magical energy.

With cunning insight and a slight uncare for the proper way to treat the body of a fallen enemy Thak tosses the druids body onto the circle before wringing it out slightly. A few hundred ml's of dark clotted blood are squeezed out and ooze onto the circle.
The circle glows and spins as magical energy suffuses the circle and the hungry vampiric magics are sated and the portal shimmers before vanishing showing a 10ft drop into a rough walled cave!

Dropping down into the small cave like room all of the PC's glance around and stare at the door and the statue high above it. Dalya can see the runes and the continuing theme of the ancient Thassilonians - but more importantly she sees the pair of spike throwers buried deep in the eyes of the gargoyle and the pressure plate in the 3 fingered hand.
- About the same time as Drothmal sees the gargoyles leg has 3 fingers. An obvious opening tool or so the unwary would think.

The light setting the mist glowing spookily and the strange wet fog clinging to their bodies and giving all the metallic weapons a wet sheen.
As you reach the base of the stairs the room opens up - the mist still filling the room faintly revealing a door on the far side of the room some 40ft away and a door to the right - some 40ft away but the room is dominated by the large 15ft square foot pool in the centre.

And this is the reason she hated being in front, but atleast the creature seemed to be confined to the pool, She moved diagonally toward the creature with a single step and blasted it with a cone of color.
five foot step and color spray DC 16

How do you strike water? Thrune wanders as he sees the enemy
Nonetheless the monk stay true to his word and he moves to attack the creature from an angle that would make it difficult for the watery foe to strike back at the sorceress.

Waits a moment, not wanting to charge in if the creature is confined to the pool and can be picked apart from a distance.
Hold turn to see how it reacts to the attacks from others.
The party bursts onto the scene. The room lights up like a veritable rainbow as Dalya blasts out with her colour spray. The massive elemental pool shimmering as rainbow light plays and refracts out from within it. The dazzling effects stunning the creature for a round!
Even as that happen Thrune steps forward - the creatures long reach of no help when confused by the dazzling light. The water feeling unusually solid as he lashes out. The two arrows splash into it the body of water, one floating around and causing what appears to be a small puncture. Unlike Heeran's sword that glances off the side with barely a splash
Stunned this round :smallfrown:
It takes 8 damage overall from an arrow and a fist

Sorry about the delay in posting. Work sucks ass.
THe beast seems to spin and turn into a great vortex as the party assail it. Thak's arrows being pulled away, Heeran's blade for nought and Kael's sword doing little more than catching spray. Only THrune only walking up to is able to make contact, fist slamming into the water like a rock into a puddle.
Dalya at the stairs looks at it as it rises amongst them before looking at it with a cross stare that seems to repel the water slightly.
Will [roll0] VS 16 or shaken (-2 to hit)
The beast lashes out in all directions. Fists and splashing waves and curling foam beating at the party. One of the fists beating down at Thrune who reads the intentions ducking and weaving like the water itself. The other slams onto the dwarf, crushing at Heeran.

In a fluid motion, Thrune lands on his left foot and spins in place, transforming the momentum of his dodge into a roundhouse kick.
Fearlessly, the monk follows up his first attack with a second one, propelling himself into the air and using his left leg for another kick.

Again the massive wave of water coupled with some unlucky slips and trips leaves the party floundering. Only the monk connects with a loose blow that waves the water.

Despite his martial training, there is not much that the monk can do against the torrent of water sucking him into the pull.
Using his athleticism, the monk remains above water and tries to go back to surer footing from where he can attack
Actions
Swim check = 23 (see OoC)
Move out of pool as a full round action (if this provokes AoO, do so after the rest have moved to see if they can kill it first)
Still using Snake style, so in case an AoO is provoked

Kael curses as Thrun gets pulled in. When the monk resurfaces he quickly abandons his instinct of risking making things worse in an effort to help the man, and instead concentrates on finishing the elemental, though he does change his approach in an effort to not zap the other man in the process.

The party fares poorly again as the foam and splashes seems to daze and dazzle the heroes. Only a single arrow finding a mark on the massive spinning wall of water before a pair of holes are punched in the creature with hissing magic missiles.
Thrune begins to paddle but the massive elemental pounds and tears at him with its watery strength. Its full force coming to bear upon the monk before he is able to struggle out of the pool.

Heran slipped away from the elemental and knelt by the monks body once he felt he was out of reach. "It is not your time, friend." He mumbles softly, his hands carefully on the monks chest as healing light envelops the body.
I'm taking a five foot step out of reach and casting Cure Light Wounds on Thrune.

Escaping the pool left Thrune rather unprepared for the water creature's attack. As the water hits him in the temple as if it was a sledgehammer, the monk begins to lose consciousness.
Fortunately, Thrune was not fighting alone.
Heran's magic proves enough to return the martial artist to fighting condition, and Thrune once again attempts to damage the elemental with his fists.
