Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
"Somehow I don't think it will be as simple as just leaving, unless I misunderstand how whatever pox is on this flora works," Surtros says, grunting as he pops a shoulder back into place.
SpoilerLora's aura kind of makes this part superfluous but everyone below half health is now at half health.D&D is the only game I can think of (with the possible exception of Calvinball) where the only way to lose is by playing to win.

"I have... no clue." Tchink says uncertainly. Hesitating further, he shakes his head before continuing. "Aye, Connaught,
we are in a bad way, here. To remove the blight from our path and others is what songs of glory are born from." he finishes, his voice gaining strength and vitality as he speaks, heartening both himself and his friends.

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
Bruised and seaweed-spattered you emerge from the wreck of the Rage to the late afternoon sun. Feeling worse for wear and only somewhat more knowledgeable about what haunts this cursed sargasso you trudge down and head back across the strange weed-island toward the Sea Wyvern.
As the shadows grow long and the sun begins to dip toward the horizon you near the Sea Wyvern. From a hundred yards or so away you see the welcome sight of Urol and the crew members waving to you. Out of the corner of your eye you sense movement in the distance, here, there - all about. "Ah, guys. There's something out there" mutters Lirith holding her bow at the ready as she scans all about. When you turn to look you see nothing but miles of seaweed but you're certain you weren't mistaken. A light sea fog slowly rises from the damp surroundings and it's hard to see much other than the mast of the Sea Wyvern ahead.

Hustling forward you close the last stretch as quickly as you can, helped aboard by the sailors "Get them up here, you scurvy lot!" Captain Amella barks orders about. "Man the ballistae! Light the torches!"
Looking back you see definite shapes out in distant twilight, approaching slowly across the matted seaweed before the roiling fog thickens and obscures the view. "We're all going to die!" wails Indo. Captain Amella approaches gripping her rapier flanked by two crewmen "What did you find out there?"
Spoiler: effectsFog reduces visibility to 30ft and provides 20% concealment.
It's dark/ twilight but torches illuminate the deck of the Sea Wyvern.Last edited by Ghostfoot; 2017-10-01 at 03:07 AM.

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
Lora the winged dragonborn flies up to the deck, making her the first back aboard. "Careful with those torches. The seaweed thrives on fire."
She then answers the captain's question succinctly. The others can fill in the details later. "Deadly vines. A shop's log. That there are things in the mist. That we need to find the mother of these things and destroy her." She leans against the ship's rails, trying to use her draconic sight to see through the fog.

Climbing aboard the barbarian looks at the others, hefting the axe in his hand. "Looks nasty out there friends. Get ready to repel boarders and we'll cut 'em down before they can get aboard the ship." He glances at the bruises and discolouration from the earlier fight - "Sutros, would you have any healing to spare before they arrive."

Lora
"Connaught, I can help with that. Probably better to save his magic for the fight." Lora grabs a belt out of her pack and temporarily switches it with the one she was wearing. Using the power of the new belt she heals some of Connaught's wounds. She then looks to Surtros and Tchinik to see who is the worse for wear from the fight and applies healing. "I'll save the last charge just in case." She then swaps belts again.

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
The fog rolls in thick as nighttime settles across the sargasso. The minutes drag as you can hear ominous sucking sounds from all about across the seaweed land.
As the tension builds you all look to one another, wondering when it will come. The fog swirls playing havoc with your vision, shapes teasing your senses. After what must be an hour but seems like an eternity several shapes lurch into the torchlight just beyond the railing of the Sea Wyvern. A whispered word echoes through the fog from the shambling manlike weed monsters. "Outsiders....:
Indo shrieks with terror the high-pitched wail unwelcome as the crew try to steady their nerves. "Let 'em have it" Captain Amella shouts the order to the crewmen on the ballistae as they fire wildly into the mist.
Spoiler: infoPlenty of time to prepare if you wish to.
It helps with the twilight/ darkness but not the seafog so still 20% concealment for all.

The burly barbarian looks to the woman beside him clutching her bow. "Cover me, shout if his mate comes to help him, I'll take the nearest one. "

The dragonborn calls out from the rigging above. "Sailors! Fight defensively to keep them off the ship. Shoot the ones we aren't facing." She jumps and uses the height to glide quickly over and ahead of Connaught. She begins to circle around and breathes a breath of platinum mist at the creature.

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
Connaught leaps down and bound across the undulating weed-bed. As the strange moaning weed-man advances to meet him he hacks across for 8 damage, the thing slightly resistant to his chopping weapon. Gliding above, Lora unleashes a magical mist that washes across the creature, slowing it briefly as Tchinik's rousing voice carries through the dark fog.
Indo shrieks in surprise at Tchinik's song and immediately flees below decks. Urol holds his quarterstaff firmly the wee gnome muttering "Fascinating..." as the plant creatures advance. "Fire!" at Captain Amella's command a hail of crossbow and ballista fire rain down on the approaching forms, most of it going wide or punching straight through without effect, only a single bolt hitting for 2 damage.
As one of the plant men flails at Connaught the others pause and gesture, arm-like appendages beckoning and calling to the surrounding weed. To your horror large swathes of the seaweed begin to shift and move, slowly rising up to form a trio of the massive weed-masses like those you recently fought in the hold of The Rage! The masses of weed swamp the ship, the Sea Wyvern shifting slightly as the huge weight of seaweed bears down on it tendrils of weed whipping about smashing timbers and threatening to pulp all nearby!

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
The dragonborn makes a hard left turn in her flight to bring her to ground level and she continues around to be opposite her ally. "Come on Connaught, we need to finish this one fast! Plenty more for us to strike down after that!" She follows with a morningstar strike at her foe.

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
Surtros steps back and pulls a scroll from his pack, reading it aloud among the commotion. Before him, a glimmering golden bison appears from a mystic circle which appears and disappears most suddenly beneath its hooves. The beast bellows a challenge and then moves to gore the shambling thing before it as quickly as possible.

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
Lora and Connaught beat at the plant-creature but its thick mass of strands turns the blows. On deck, Surtros steps back as massive mounds of weed surge to life all about him. Reaching for a scroll he reads the words and a glimmering golden bison winks into existence next to him, immediately flicking its head left and right trying to tear through the foliage as whip-like strands smash all about.
Tchinik hacks and stabs at the closest frenzied mass of foliage, muck flying as he chops for 20 damage but it resists the flames of his rapier. Urol and Lirith frantically battle he nearest rising mass, futilely chopping and bashing at it. A hail of quarrels and ballista bolts fly about the foggy deck at the crew try to find a weak spot. One brave crewmember draws his rapier and hacks at a looming mass for 5 damage. His bravely proves fatal however as the surging mass smashes down on him for 13 damage crushing him into the deck.
Surrounded in the fog, the kelp creature turns to Lora as she swoops down out of the darkness, lashing out at her for 6 damage. On board, one of the huge mounds smashes at Surtros who somehow evades while another lashes at Lirith with a tendril appendage the blow striking for 11 damage.

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
Connaught
The big northman hears the screams from the decking as he begins to feel the battle rage descending. Glancing around he see's his woman beset by monsters and loses his control. With a great war cry he throws himself at the nearest beast in a crazed whirling frenzy. the axe glows in the dull fog as he chops, hacks and seeks to rend the beast limb from limb with massive overhand wild swings!

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
The tenacious seaweed-man is cunning but Connaught's rage knows no bounds! Ignoring the fact that his axe blows are somewhat resisted the Northman just hits harder. With mighty hewing cleaves for 18 & 19 damage the creature is hacked apart, weed spattering the surrounding area.

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
The northman's fury inspires Lora the dragonborn. "Beautiful, Connaught! Let's go!" She jumps and flies back toward the ship, directly over Connaught. She gains enough altitude to see on deck and notices a vine creatures toward the back of the ship as well as ... a golden bison? She focuses her attention on the clump of vines and yells out in draconic a demanding "BEGONE!"

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
Surtros steps into the fray again and holds his shield up higher, sacrificing a wider area of aim for further protection from the creatures. The golden bison huffs and bellows, stabbing furiously with its horns.
Spoiler: ActionsNow that I know they have reach it's a bit ineffective to try clever maneuvering, so I'll hop back into G-11 to give Tchinik that flank bonus.
Attacking Defensively for -4 to hit and +2 to AC. Bison attacks normally. I have 24 AC, Bison has 13 and 5/magic DR.

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
With a few strokes of her wings Lora flies aloft, back toward the deck. At her magical command the heap of violent weed assaulting Urol and Lirith slumps back down to the deck in a slimy mess, the life gone from it.
Tchinik continues his deft attack, valiant battlecry ringing out as he spurs the crew on showing them how it done. A few precise chops for 11 damage and the thing he's facing collapses in another heap of spattered seaweed.
Surtros & his summoned extraplanar bison turn to face the final large weed mass. The bison takes a couple of glancing blows for 4 damage as it closes, then between them Surtros and the bison smash & gore at it for 5 & 16 damage respectively. Weakened, a hail of crossbow fire from Captain Amella and the crew for 12 damage total tears it to shreds.
A shout of victory from the crew is short-lived as everyone's attention turns to the three plant-men lurking out on the sargasso at the edge of the torchlight, barely visible in the foggy gloom. A single word whispers out from each of them "Intruders..." and as they raise there arms to your despair three more massive clumps of seaweed raise themselves up to full height and shift their bulks toward the deck of the Sea Wyvern.

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
The vines collapsing at her command emboldens the dragonborn. She continued her flight back and lands on a lower spar of the main mast. "Focus fire at the plant men. I will deal with the vines!" Lora tries to peer through the fog to the north to see the enemy but even her dragon sight is of no help. She focuses her concentration at a point behind the vines, hoping to also catch the unseen enemy back there somewhere. <draconic> "By Bahamut go back to being fish food!"

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
Tchinik, about to end his battle hymn, sounds almost disheartened in his song as more of the creatures appear.
Rousing his friends and allies again, his voice climbs higher as he lashes out at the creature coming over the edge near him.

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
The bison lows angrily and presses the attack, moving around the port stairway to try and get in an attack on the new foe. Surtros slides underneath its trampling limbs, allowing the beast to take the brunt of any attacks as it moves, and places a hand on Lirith's thigh, channeling divine energy into her. "This will be your shield," he murmurs. The words are lost in the din of combat, but their intent rings clear.
Spoiler: ActionsBison moves to G/H 10/11, soaking up that attack of opportunity before Surtros casts his spell. It then attacks, if it can.

Also, can I tell who on the ship, if anyone, is below 50% health? I might as well try and combat medic it up now if this is going to be an endurance skirmish.

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
More words of power issue forth from Lora, assaulting the magical forces keeping the seaweed alive and animate. One of the masses succumbs but two resist.
Chopping left and right Connaught bounds across the swampy floating muck toward the nearest weed beast. It lashes out at him and in his recklessness he can't evade the smashing vines. Tangles of weed smash into him for 13 damage and wrap around him dragging him closer. The plant thing entwines him in an increasing tangle of rope-like seaweed and crushes him for 9 damage as it seeks to squeeze the life from him.
Tchinik hacks and stabs at the closest monstrosity for 11 damage, the embers of his blade ineffective against it. As fibrous appendages whip about Surtros' extraplanar animal surges forward its goring attack causing 16 damage. Captain Amella drops her crossbow to the deck and steps up the creature so big that she can also engage it from the aftercastle. A few skillful blows for 5 damage overcome it and the heap collapses back down into slimy weed.
Again there is no respite. "Intruders..." With beckoning gestures the plant men again raise up two more massive sloughing heaps of flailing seaweed to bear down on the vessel!
Even as Connaught wrestles his way free from the hostile mound, on the other side of the ship things take a turn for the worse as the weed beasts lash out dragging themselves aboard and wrapping slimy tendrils about both Captain Amella and Surtros for 20 and 21 damage respectively as the huge plants try to crush the life from them! "Captain!" one of the crew shouts, fear & concern evident as surely certain death is but moments away for the badly injured captain struggling feebly against the overwhelming sludge!!

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
Lora viewed the battle from above in black and white with her darkvision. Connaught was engaged and outnumbered out on the ocean surface. Below her Surtros was entwined with the vines. On the aft deck the captain was about to be ripped apart. "Kill the plant men or the vines will just keep coming back! Get the captain below deck, I'll cover." She directed her Bahamut given counter magic at the vines surrounding the captain. Successful or not, she then dives down to land next to the captain, batting at the vines to keep it distracted from the others.
Spoiler: OOCI should be out of AoO range for the one grappling Surtros. Voracious Dispelling: targetted at the G7 vine. CL6 +2 for Dispelling cord (1d20+6)[16]
Saving the captain deserves an AP: (1d6)[1]
Glide down to H7, probably taking an AoO unless the grappling keeps it too busy. Iron Guard's Glare to protect the captain and those hopefully trying to pull her away.

Re: Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2
As Tchinik lashes out at the creature near him, the cords on his neck start to become visible as sweat begins to bead on his brow from the strain.
"...war upon the highlands,
where kingsmen met the savage horde,
blood spilled on the lowlands,
the crimson river flowed,
As Thraxata raged and Death reaped her fields,
Elesias burned with heat of old..."
