    R6T16: Unable to see a hint of Flair through the darkness, Jens can't reach out to join him into the collective. He also asks aloud, "What's going on? Any injuries? If this was 'bed play' I swear..."

    R6T14: The shutter to the window outside opens, as the dim cold light only shows a couple shapes inside the room.

    R7T26: Indeed, the only way the PCs have had any chance of seeing thus far at all have been the candles placed on the wall opposite the doors, spaced midway between each door so as to faintly light two doors' keys. Brother Jaume steps over to the candle holder between their rooms' and picks up the candleholder.

    R7T18: Dorn casts shield of faith on Flair, limning him in a very faint glow (as in, doesn't really shed light) similar to an upside-down hammer.

    R7T17: Flair quickly exits his room and presses himself flat against the wall. He tries to take a deep breath and calm himself, but he finds that difficult. Something about this escapade scared him in a way he hadn't realized. He'd been in bad situations before; ones where it seemed that there was no way out, but this was different. The giant's breakfast required a delicate hand, but he'd gotten through it. The fight vs the Tatterman. he frankly expected to die, but at least there were things he was able to do to help, though he would be the first to admit that it wasn't a lot. But the point is that he had options; he had a choice he could make that could theoretically make a difference.

    But this was different. Like the dream he woke from that got him to the asylum, here there was an overwhelming feeling of powerlessness; of an inescapable death. Yeah, that got everyone in the end, but that was different. Dying at an old age was just your body using up the charges of your soul; outside of a few expensive, difficult, and occasionally morally dubious tricks, that was universal. But a violent death is a different beast. It's the kind of stuff that can spontaneously undead and creates haunts. It's nasty for everyone involved, which is why he tried to avoid it wherever possible. But the concept of free will and the importance of choice was a very big deal for Flair. Every day, with his actions, he did everything he could to not be a callous, cruel person, like he was when he called himself Padre Pervasi. His choices would never un-make the things he did back then, but he could choose not to do them now. So the thought of his life being snuffed out when there are no choices to be made that will stop it was especially scary.

    But panic won't solve anything, he reminds himself. Only by looking at things rationally can he find the path out. Looking at the situation calmly, he realized that he's out of immediate danger. He had full movement, and he wasn't alone with her. He was no longer of immediate risk of Maeni carving him up like a roast goose; if she wanted to get him, she'd have to break invisibility and expose herself to the rest of the party. But taking on four men was an altogether different scenario than just one, and he doubted she could manage all of them at once. But that didn't mean that all was well; she was still invisible and has a selection of spells at her disposal, so he wasn't completely out of the woods yet. But the point is that the situation changed, and now he has options. Now he has choices. His breathing slows, as he finally gets his head back on straight, ready to face the situation ahead of him.

    It was only then, with him fully back in control, his form illuminated by the candlelight, did he realize that he was still completely nude.

    R7T16: Assuming that it was Flair who just exited the room in the dim light, Jens tries adding him to the collective. ”Anybody have some light? I’d rather not bumble about in the dark please.” Jens asks as he stares fruitlessly into the dark room. However, with the candle in Brothter Jaume's hands, and Flair backing the other way under a candle, it is an easy thing to add the naked man to the collective.

    R7T14: A woman's voice is heard chanting, and suddenly everyone is plunged into a deep mist.

    Something brushes by Jens and Flair, but not knowing if it is an ally or someone else, and not expecting it, there is nothing to be done.

    R1T25: Though "combat" technically hasn't begun, Brother Jaume, after that hideous noise, you are now hyper-aware. There is something on the slick boards of the pier about 15' from you. Because of the reduced lighting with the rain, it is not very well illuminated. You are looking right down that area and don't sense any evil from your spell (that you are still concentraing on). What do you do?

    R1T25: BJ holds up and tries to make sense of he is seeing. It is some sort of hard-to-define shape at the edge of his vision before the rain becomes a sheet in the distance. He keeps up his spell, though senses no evil.

    R1T17: Trying to peer through the rain, Jens readies himself to launch a fragment of earth at the figure on the pier should he see it. He does see it .... or something ... 15' ahead of Brother Jaume, but it is too far for Jens' earth blast.

    R1T14: Something is spat out .... something that gets right into Brother Jaume's eyes, stinging his eyes and blinding him. It comes into distinct view for Vilma, Wren (who already got a good look at it), Dorn, and even Jens. It is a creature that makes consistent yammering noises from the many misshapen mouths on is amorphous body. So many eyes, so many mouths, and one of them just bit Brother Jaume in the left shin for 2. The hideous creature latches on, and then begins wrappit self wholly and in pseudopd-tentacular ways around Brother Jaume. Several more of the mouths bite on the monk for 2 + 1 CON (blood drain, which means another 4 hp).

    R1T13: Flair reached for his crossbow, before remembering that his bolts, like everything else he had owned, were left on that godsforsaken island. Instead, he moved up slowly as he barked instructions to the rest of the party. "Attack from range if you can; bludgeoning or energy damage is best here! Don't let it grab you if you can possibly avoid it!"

    The horror of what you see now is still enough that even though you steel your mind, it only adds to those things which slowly erode your long-term mental fortitude (2 SAN).

    R1T8: Vilma steps forward cautiously, unsure of what she's facing. Unfortunately, as she moves through the area with Dorn, the two of them and their combined weight of bodies and equipment is just too much for the pier to handle, and that 5' section breaks away. Both she and Dorn fail to catch the sides and they go into the water. Vilma tumbles into the water clumsily, having hit some of the pier enough to take 5. Both are underwater now.

    R2T17: Things just took a major turn for the worst, Jens. Brother Jaume hadn't fully "internally" recovered from the ravages of the fungal rot and he's getting gnoshed on. And then, two of the party just broke through the pier and into the water. You have no idea how well Dorn swims .... but considering he was raised among dwarves, it's not looking good. Then, to add to that, the other person that just fell into the water is in full plate armor. What do you do?

    R2T13: Flair had been expecting something weird upon seeing the Mouther, but the degree of its alien-ness shook him in a way he didn't have time to analyze right now. Still, now was the time for action. Cody had a plan, and it frankly sounded better than this thing trying to eat them while trying keep the pier from collapsing.

    "Fall back and hold your fire!" he shouted. He didn't know if it could understand Common, so he teped the second half of his instructions. He then took a few steps back to give his teammates egress.

    R2T8: Vilma tries to swim, but will probably more walk at the bottom. Because she attempts the swim, however, the best she does is press herself out of the pier pilings and flounder about in the water ....sinking until she is prone on the bottom. Dorn is in front of her, but he had controlled his descent using the pilings instead of trying to swim and is on his feet.

    R3T13: Flair fumed. This entire boondoggle could have been avoided if people had just listened. Now he had crew in the water and his plans lay in ruins. As he shouted to his teammates, he looked around the pier for any sort of rope he could throw to the men in the drink. "JAUME! I said fall back! ! Jens, keep blasting that thing! Anyone who can swim, help our people in the water!" He then screeched at the monster, in frustration as well as to in a vain hope to scare it away. His screech is hideous, primal, and takes on a primordial caste of more than just an elongated vowel stream, but actually sounds like it could be babbling scream .... or even language!

    R4T25: Brother Jaume stumbles back a couple of steps, but being unable to see and the slick deck opened him to an attack, and he gets nipped on the chest for 2. Brother Jaume looks up to the sky, hoping the rain can clear his vision before wiping his eyes with a damp sleeve.

    First, yeah, when you can't see, movement is double, so no five-foot free move.

    Next, I do like what you did there with the rain. It was inventive and clever. On the other hand, you had a "critical fail" the first time round. So, I had you succeed on a Heal check which boosted a second save. This doesn't clear your vision, but dropped the remaining duration by half. If you tried it again, you could clear it. Note that this is not just a visual occlusion, or would be easier to resolve. The fluid the mouther spits out is a type of low-grade acid.

    R4T18: Wren gets clear of the inner section of the pier and shouts, muffled some by the rain, but blaring over the collective as well: "Help! I can't swim! Help!"

    R4T17: Jens, what do you do?
    Spoiler: Jens

    Because of the rain, you don't see Brother Jaume well enough to see what he's doing at your distance, and he didn't mention his distress had returned, so Jens doesn't know Brother Jaume has been blinded (again).

    Flair made a split second decision. He tepe'd Jens "I'll get Wren" before turning towards the water.

    R4T17: Looking through the rain at the barely visible figures fighting in the distance Jens let's his doubts be heard over the collective.
    Spoiler: Jens >>> Collective
    Show
    "Yeah... If the plan relies on my accuracy, we are in trouble. I guess I could try..."
    His telepathy cuts off as Jens moves forward with an idea in mind. Back to where he was moments ago he focuses on the creature and fights against it's nervous system. Its amorphous nervous system is a riot, however, and Jens is unable to affect its body.

    R4T14: The gibbering mouther glorps across the deck to bite Brother Jaume for 2. The cleric only barely manages to keep from being held. It shapes its body to have a section on the side not be blocked by the rotund rounder, and a stream of green acid hits Jens in the eye, blinding him with a burning pain!

    R5T25: Blinded, the portly friar scrubs his eyes again with his sleeve and the rainwater, but in doing so he is attacked by the mouther as it bites him in the groin for 4 but fails to hold him. Jaume's efforts find success and he stumbles back on the wet boards, the mouther already spent in its attack on the now unblinded Jaume as he has a little perspective ... which includes a blinded Jaume standing right behind him now.

    R5T18: Wren is on the surface, and at the risk of sinking stops treading water to concentrate ... at which point he then turns into a misty form of himself that extrudes from the water! It seems that however Wren turned into a little cloudy version of himself ... looking like the myrad other curls of misty vapor in the rain ... he no longer needs a rescue.

    R5T13-12: Flair had questions about Wren's sudden departure from the water. Right now, however, the important part was getting to the pier's supports; once he had something solid to grab ahold of, he could position himself back to the shore. He successfully rights himself, gets his head above water, and doggy-paddles towards shore using the pilings to help him. Meanwhile, directly below him and now almost to a point where Flair could stand on him, Dorn walks up the incline of the bottom.

    “Jens, use the rain water and your clothing to clear your eyes. Then move back.”
    Brother Jaume puts his connection into the first knee strike, but only glumps into its wriggly hide. He lost his ability to wreak havoc on its nervous system, but he chambers the foot farther back and having checked it with the first attack lets fly a devastating kick that even results in a satisfying crunch of the keratinized teeth of a mouth, but does 13. He lets out a quick jab, but is mainly preoccupied with the thought that he should have struck more keenly, and that perhaps this creature's strange makeup makes it immune to blows that would fell another.

He sent a telepathic message to the rest of the party before kicking off of the piling in order to grab onto the next one, effectively shimmying his way across until it got shallow enough that he could just put his feet down and not worry about drowning (but still not comfortable walk).

    [QUOTE=lostsole31;24910287]R6T13: Now that his head was above the water, Flair took a deep breath as he brought his legs to the support, which now that he could breathe he remembered was called a piling. He sent a telepathic message to the rest of the party before kicking off of the piling in order to grab onto the next one, effectively shimmying his way across until it got shallow enough that he could just put his feet down and not worry about drowning.

    "Wren, it's okay. You're not crazy, the collective just allows us to communicate telepathically. Jens, let him out and get that thing off this pier."

    R6T12: Dorn moves some and is now almost out of the water, side-by-side with Flair, his head just poking up as he gets a breath.

    R6T8: Barely seeing the one in front of her raising out, she keeps advancing.

    R7T25: Brother Jaume retreats to shore, moving carefully, while also going around Jens instead of past him (in his square) so as not to have his heavy body break the boards.

    R7T18: Wren is no longer part of the collective. Still, because his dagger was lit, there is a strange ethereal glow over the water moving SW.

    R7T17: Jens, what do you do?

    R7T17: Moving cautiously off the pier, Jens will plant his feet on terra firma and ready himself for the approaching Monster.

    R7T14: The gibbering mouther goes off the side of the pier into the water.

    R7T13: Meanwhile, Flair stands, his feet now on - well, not dry land per se - but enough that drowning was no longer immediate threat. Knowing that there were party members under water, he stretched his arm out as far as it could and tepe'd, "Vilma, grab my hand!" as he does in fact grab onto her hand, but is not yet able to pull her out so much as he is only able to pull her closer.

    R7T12: Dorn continues to slog forth.

    R7T8: Vilma, you are no longer underwater, and Flair is grabbing you by the weapon arm, pulling you closer. What do you do?

    R7T8: Now out of the water, Vilma gets out of the pier, on a part that's not occupied by someone, trying to reduce the distance she'll have to travel while catching her breath.

    End Round 7, Begin Round 8 ....
