Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2

[Kelvin360]

Not the first time he's been in such a fix within the past day or so, he'll give it that. But those wings alight on the sky like a glorious, blooming flame, so shimmery now...or perhaps that was the rapid loss of consciousness talking. He watched with a detached sense of humility and awe as she...flew down to save the captain. Well, *^@&.

Suddenly keenly aware of the fact that he is now about to die, again, he calls out to his deity for aid past the bloody chokes and incessant gargling as his body and armor fold around him. Don't hate me because I'm needy, appreciate the fact that we talk so often! So few priests take as much time to have these conversations...

As he does so, he turns a portion of his will towards the spell and directs the beast to assist Lora before even that fades away. Maybe that will put me at the front of whatever line is waiting for me. Personally, I doubt it.

The bison disappears at the end of next round, I believe. It makes an attack against Amella's grappler. Surtros is going to try and cast sanctuary on himself. I'd also like to spend 2 action points on 'something extraordinary' in this case meaning being able to cast it during the grapple without making a Concentration check. If that's not possible, I'll just add 1d6 to the skill roll. The Will save DC is 16 to get past the spell if I pull it off, which I think means it also has to stop grappling me.

Bison Attack: (1d20+11)[29]
Bison Damage: (1d8+12)[17]

Tchnicik's song sets the aging barbarian's mind afire as he lashes left and right. He doesn't feel his ribs crack under the impact of the plant's savage blow but uses all his strength to burst free from the grapple. As the man sized vine horror steps near him he lashes out smashing it with tremendous power to shatter it, calling on his bracers he hews left and right and left again! A blurring frenzied viking of destruction.

Lora swoops down as the huge plant creature envelops Captain Amella completely. A cry of despair echoes from the crew as the captain is surely lost! Lora focuses her draconic talents and tries again to suppress the animating magic. Success! The mass of weeds collapses to slimy sludge, Captain Amella dragging herself free hardly able to move. The crewmen dash forward, dragging her from the raised deck down to the lower deck, headed for the door to the hold below. Urol guards them, staff held high in his tiny hands the old wee gnome trying to be brave, his crow squawking loudly and flapping about in distress.

Tchinik dashes past them, moving to try to help Surtros now that Amella is safe. He hacks and stabs at that heap, masterfully chopping for 14 damage. Even as Surtros feels the life squeezed from him he struggles to cast one last spell to win a reprieve. Aid comes from his mighty summoned animal though as the bison tears right through the vine mass for 17 damage spraying it in ropy tendrils about it and ending its danger.

Down on the sargasso Connaught battles on at the edge of the torchlight. He hews left and right, hacking all about as he tries to keep the two creatures at bay. Brutal chops strike home for 13, 18 & 17 damage and the smaller man-sized plant man is dispatched. With its master gone the looming mass behind it slumps and disperses also, leaving Connaught alone and victorious.

"C'mon, is that all you've got!" shouts Lirith as she cranks the ballista and sends a another javelin hurtling toward her foes. Sadly the shot goes wide in the swirling mist.

In answer to her bravado the two remaining foes simply continue their relentless assault. "Intruders..." as the inhuman voices carrying across the sargasso bed they raise their arms and two more massive mounds of weed rise up from the unlimited bed. The two heaps lash out with their ropy appendages at the majestic bison, smashing it for 8 & 3 damage as the animal bellows in anger.

@razorback I think we need to add another +3 to damage from inspire courage

@Kelvin360 since the bison was redirected by me to attack Surtros' grappler, he can cast his spell without fear of losing it. So no need to spend any APs.

@DrK rather than spend that AP on a missed extra attack I'm going to switch it to spend on your attack #3 to overcome the concealment roll. So 3/3 hits rather than 2/4 misses.

Malmir Zeet

Intruders...

Cyric's black bollocks! Let this Hell end!

It had been a tenday and half again since being marooned on this green purgatory. First the ship was held fast. Then water became scarce.

Then the crew began to go mad and run off towards the horizon.

Then the seaweed came...

Every night he skipped from broken ship to broken ship, one step ahead of the verdant mockeries of his shipmates. Resisting all his efforts at fighting them off.

Fireproof plants! That makes no sense!

A couple days ago, while plundering hard tack from a crushed galleon, he noticed another survivor, doing their best to live another day. Malmir desperately wanted to contact this other person, but feared discovery.

He took a deep breath. He was through running. Better to die with some digni..

Hold on... they weren't talking to me. They... there are others!

Off in the distance he saw the lamplight of a ship.

An intact ship.

This was his only chance! If he could get to this ship and get it off this weed before it devoured it...

He rushed in, trusting his elfsight to guide the way.

[TankLaser007]

Sarbaz had been secretly refilling the half-elf's stores of water when he had rushed off. Turning his attention to where he had ran he heard the faint sounds of conflict and what appeared to be the mast of a ship...

Skipping across the sargasso like the deck of a lolling ship the initiate arrived on the scene just as there seemed a pause in the battle between what appeared to be a ship's crew and some strange mass of seaweed, kelp or animate plant life. The small light near his head gave him away but it was no matter he would be seen soon enough.

He paused for a moment as the sargasso near him seemed to undulate then water gushed upwards from beneath like a small spring until it coalesced into a gurgling column of water. Looking back and forth between the large mass of vines and the smaller creatures the man finally took a small piece of dried sea sponge from a pouch at his belt and ran it through the elemental at his side, before tossing it towards the smaller creatures. The sponge crew into a large sphere of freezing water.

Not willing to give up his chance, Malmir downed the Water Walking potion he'd hoarded since first taking to the sea.

This'll do me no good if I'm dead.

[Kelvin360]

Gasping for breath and cloaked in the swirling divine mists of a sanctuary spell, Surtros glances at the massive bison in quiet disbelief. Shakily, he gets to his feet and pats the thing awkwardly on the nose. "Cursed beast, I was trying to do something heroic for a change," he murmurs. The creature makes a few deep chuckling noises before fading back into the ether from which it came.

Still occasionally spitting up blood, the priest draws a surge of healing magic into himself to hold off the encroaching shadows on the edge of his consciousness. The fistful of healing spells he still has wouldn't do anyone any good if he passed out.

Vine Horror vs Ref DC16 (1d20+1)[9]

[Ghostfoot]

Two men emerge from the fog, visible at the flickering edges of the torchlight. One, a lightly armoured half-elf, clutches a potion vial and downs its contents quickly. The other a dark-skinned Chultan holding a crystal trident gestures with his free hand and speaks words of magic. A softly glowing orb of crackling frost rolls from his hand growing bigger as it freezes the sargasso seaweed near it and careers into one of the plant men, freezing it for 2 cold damage and slightly hampering it as the frost lines it. Near the spellcaster a vaguely humanoid column of seawater rises, beckoned forward by him.

As Tchinik continues to sing Lora glides overhead another pulse of her antimagic radiating out against the assaulting plant-life. Again her powers prove sufficient, the two large animated masses collapsing down into piles of sludge like their predecessors leaving only the two plant-man active. Surtros flicks the last of the much from the last creature from him, words of magic filling him with a healing force that helps with the worst of the battering he's just endured.

Connaught jogs effortlessly through the fog toward the battle, passing a newcomers as he does and coming alongside the Chultan spellcaster and his sea elemental. On deck the wee gnome Urol hustles the crew carrying Captain Amella to safety below as she regains her footing under the draconic healing influence of Lora.

The remaining crew members continue to fire ineffectively at the plant men. <Thwap!> "Oh ha!" a delighted grin from Lirith as she fires a javelin sized balista bolt that punches through a plan man for 10 damage leaving a gaping hole but not destroying it.

"Outsiders..." again the hostile plant-men raise their arms calling up more massive lumbering piles of animated weeds. This time, as the huge masses lurch forward the two remaining plant men slide back into the fog disappearing from sight. Weed tendrils lash out the crew only barely able to duck to the deck avoiding the lethal blows.

As the northman strides across the saragossa to attack the mass of vines the Chultan gurgles in a strange language and the watery creature strides forward between him and the vines lashing out with a pseudopod of seawater at the mass of writhing vines. He then flings a sea snake scale towards the barbarian and there is a pulse of silver light invigorating him and those caught in the flash.

Malmir is somewhat familiar with the plant men. Known as vine horrors they are malicious sentient man-like plant creatures with the ability to animate vines (duh!). Resistant to piercing and slashing weapons they have no particular elemental immunities.

They are both knowledgeable regarding the animated assassin vines. While easily chopped apart they are resistant to electricity cold and fire.

Chased by Sarbaz, Lora and Tchinik the vine horrors are quickly caught up with in the thick fog. The Sea Wyvern is out of sight, only a faint hint of glowing torchlight some distance away.

At the renewed assault the two plant men turn and face the attacks, a whisper of alien irritation escaping like an exasperated sigh. Again they gesture and each raises another mound of sargasso into an attacking plant monster. Appendages lash out from one almost knocking Tchinik from the sky as he flies by narrowly avoiding the strikes. Whipping tendrils lash out from another smashing into Sarbaz for 10 damage and drawing him in, crushing him for a further 12 damage as the massive clump of plant matter seeks to mindlessly subsume him!

If your check fails, your attack is made with a –2 penalty and deals normal damage.
