    Akula hits Ripclaw, dealing 11 damage after DR.
    Firi'Sar also hits Ripclaw, dealing 3 damage after DR.
    Cordelia casts Invisibility on Akula, protecting him from the attacking savage dinosaur!

    Ripclaw misses twice, dealing 16 total damage instead of the 33 - much better for our heroes!

    As the tentacled dinosaur leaps out of the darkness and silken sheets the party strikes out violently. Akula and Firi'Sar both get off hits, but it is Cordelia who (likely) saves her friend's life with a well selected spell. A moment before the monster lands Akula vanishes from sight and the creature slashes clumsily near where the Darfellan stands. He still takes a talon and claw, but is not at risk of infection from the infectious bite and takes dramatically less damage than he might have.

    With a scream of insane fury the beast turns its head and looks at the other PCs as if sizing them up for its next attack...


    The map is unchanged except that Akula is invisible. Begin round 2!

    With Akula invisible, there was little she could do to heal him, so Tillandi concentrated on Ripclaw. Seeing that the weapons didn't do as much damage as they were supposed to, she quickly called forth a trident of force to distract Ripclaw while they could concentrate on other things. She then moved in, shield and trident ready to protect the others.

    Firi'Sar 5-ft steps and attacks Ripclaw, connecting and dealing 4 damage.
    Akula 5-ft steps and attacks from invisibility, hitting twice for 17 and 13 damage respectively, killing Ripclaw.
    Tillandi casts Spiritual Weapon, which attacks and hits Ripclaw for 6 damage.
    Cordelia uses Psychic Strike, but Ripclaw resists it.
    Kitten moves to attack, biting Ripclaw and doing the killing blow.

    Ripclaw enters it's death throes and, seeing its original target reappear (and striking it!), it turns to bite savagely at Akula! It hits with for 11 damage and (again) threatens to infect him with Savage Fever (DC 18 Fortitude save). It then bursts into acid, dealing 3 damage to anyone adjacent (not Cordelia) who fails a DC 15 Reflex save.

    The party surrounds Ripclaw and do their best to lay on the damage, successfully. After all of the PCs strike the savage dinosaur (in one way or another) it screams as it spasms and dies, lashing out at Akula with a painful bite laced with contagious spittle. Then it bursts in a spray of acid, possibly dealing damage to everyone except Cordelia.

    End of combat. Please roll saving throws as appropriate. There is a pool of acid where Ripclaw fell - I assume none of you will stand in it.

    In the suddenly slightly-less loud cavern the party breathes heavily as they assess their wounds. There are four other exits from this cave. One likely leads back towards the beach while the other three lead deeper into the cave complex in one way or another. Going around the room clockwise, the party sees light coming from the outside out of the tunnel to the south and hears the sound of...pounding fists on a table(?) from the west. To the northwest they hear a cacophony of yelling and shrieking, as well as the clang of metal on metal. To the northeast there isn't any sound, but it does smell of some kind of animal, like a kennel or pen of some sort might be that direction.

    I recommend healing up - that was very nearly deadly for Akula. The savage creatures hit hard and mercilessly, especially those with multiple attacks per round.

    Now, which way do you go?

    Akula N'Kuttik "Shark Splitter"

    Akula drops to one knee, rolling to try and avoid the acid as the beast explodes in acid. His body is a mass of pain and agony from the multiple lacerations. Reaching down he offers a prayer to Procan, pouring a tiny bit of water onto his damaged frame. "A nasty beast, let us hope there are not more like him" he mentions to the others. As they hear sounds nearby he shakes, his head, " A moment, please, I must recover some of these wounds"

    Tillandi yelped when the acid splashed over her and she could dodge fast enough. Noticing that others had also not managed to dodge quickly enough and that Akula was still hurting, she called everybody close and calling on the power of Procan gave out a blast of healing power.
    "I would suggest doing this methodically," she said, "we stay on the right and explore that system first before heading to the next one.

    After everybody has been splashed with acid: channel energy: (2d6)[6] HP restored to everybody (I assume everybody will stay within 30ft). EDIT: this should be enough for everybody who gets hit by the acid and it will bring Akula close to max.

    suggest to first take the tunnel at Q19.

    As Firi'Sar suddenly reverts to his normal form, he nods slowly. "I'm less excited without the keen nose of the Ratfolk, but I'm happy enough to take a peek before I argue too much." He glances at Akula. "You good to go, big guy?"

    Once the group is prepared, Firi'Sar turns to the North-eastern tunnel, sniffs quietly, and frowns.

    Firi'Sar hasn't gone more than about ten feet into the northwest tunnel before he stops. He's heard something sneaking up behind the party, quietly climbing up the walls of the cavern with all the silk from the western tunnel.

    About ten feet further down the northwest tunnel, on the left, is a barricade of shelves and tables blocking the entrance to another cavern. Further down this passageway the sounds of savage screams and rage can be heard mingled with what Firi'Sar more clearly hears as the sound of jail or prison bars clanging against each other as their inhabitants struggle against them. There isn't a fight happening further down - there are savage creatures in cages trying to get free...

    Firi'Sar hears the creature sneaking up on the party, so it isn't visible on the map yet. If he warns the other PCs they can attempt an active Perception check to try and find it, DC 28. If you intend violence you may roll initiative and/or prepare some buffs too.

    Firi'Sar's warning is enough to prevent a surprise round. However, due to dice the enemy goes first, after the party spends a moment buffing and looking for him (all spells cast in your previous posts are completed).

    Spoiler: Initiative - thanks for rolling, Farothel!
    Show
    Navesh (the enemy) - 27 (Natural 20 +7)

    Cordelia/Kitten - 17
    Firi'Sar - 12
    AKula - 12
    Tillandi -12

    Several PCs cast spells while everyone looks for the enemy. Firi'Sar sees the attacker before it can successfully ambush anyone.

    Navesh leaps from the wall (he was at L24), using his "Gliding" ability to charge and attack Tillandi from above. He slashes with his kukri, dealing Sneak Attack damage and threatening a critical strike (which didn't confirm, barely), dealing 10 total damage to Tillandi.

    Spoiler: Picture of your attacker
    Show

    Firi'Sar quickly turns back, returning to the previous cavern and immediately seeing a strange and misshapen creature. Something like a cross between a flying squirrel and a lemur, this obviously-nocturnal humanoid has been corrupted by Savage Fever and is now a slavering, drooling, fanged hunter. Though he is able to warn the party the little creature is fast and has leapt into a gliding charge before the party can fully react. "Come to Navesh, meatbags! Just give me a mouthful of your tasty pink flesh!" it snarls from between jagged, irregular teeth! It's kukri is keenly sharp and cuts deep into Tillandi as the creature targets a vital artery, connecting but barely missing the blood vessel.

    Prior to succumbing to the Savage Fever this was a phanaton (see here and here for an idea of what they can do). You can also tell from the way it attacked that it has levels of Rogue.

    Tillandi was flat-footed before she could act, so she took Sneak Attack damage (but not a critical hit). All PCs to act - begin (your portion of) Round 1!

    Cordelia steps back from the creature to the northeast, and taps Tillandi with her wand of CLW, healing her for (1d8+1)[5].

    Kitten neatly sidesteps round the creature to flank with Tillandi, ferociously tearing into it with teeth and claws!

    Cordelia heals Tillandi while Kitten hits twice (but fails to pierce Navesh's damage resistance).
    Akula steps into melee and stabs him with his harpoon, dealing 17 damage after DR.
    Tillandi misses with her attack.
    Firi'Sar misses with his attack after moving to flank (incurring no AoO due to Acrobatics).

    Navesh turns to stab and bite at Akula: he misses with his bite but critically hits with his kukri, dealing 4 damage to the darfellan.

    "Ow, that hurt!" cries the deformed phanaton as Akula stabs him with his harpoon while the rest of the party moves to surround the little creature. The phanaton's wound is deep as the powerful blow cuts through skin that is clearly hardened against (non-magical) attacks. The creature doesn't even seem to notice when Kitten slashes at it, instead focusing on the orca-man and biting and slashing with his own cruelly curved little knife. He connects, and well, but the knife and attacker are both so small that it doesn't deal as much damage as it might have otherwise.



    All PCs to act - begin Round 2!

    Tillandi misses with her attack.
    Cordelia heals Akula.
    Kitten claws at Navesh ineffectually (DR).
    Akula entangles Navesh in a net.
    Firi'Sar deals 5 non-lethal damage to Navesh.

    Navesh uses a full-round action to get free of the net (passed the Escape Artist check). This incurs AoOs from all the PCs and Kitten.

    Only Firi'Sar and Akula seem to be able to impact the savage phanaton, as one entangles him and the other clubs him with the handle of his rapier. "No, no, no! Get this off me! I'm hungry!" patters the strange attacker as he twists and squirms, ignoring the threat of attacks from the party as he gets free of Akula's net.



    Everyone gets AoOs against the enemy in addition to your actions next turn.

    Begin Round 3.
