With plenty of ranged attacks and Ardens being more offensively oriented than Jesse (in personality if in nothing else), I feel like Damien and Ardens would be best suited to protect the ship from the oncoming Drowned Ones. I'll hold off on taking my turn to see if anyone has any differing...

Ardens continues his spell, keeping the path for the ship clear. Arcana: 1d20+9-2=18 Endurance: 1d20+8=19

jsb420 : Darksteed already factored in the -2 to his roll. He has a +14 stealth check, but he only used a +12 for the roll.

Moving to the front of the boat, Ardens holds his hands out over the edge of the boat. As he concentrates on his spell, the sea grass moving around the boat seems to part and make a path for the boat to pass through. Arcana: 1d20+9=23 Endurance: 1d20+8=22 Ardens spent 2 surges after that last...

Why are players penalized with a higher DC if trained? (I know the increase is +4 while training is +5, but how is the DC any different in terms of the game world and why should trained players have a higher DC if trained?)

I agree completely SoM. Ardens has no problem spending 2 surges as he's yet to spend any today.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting off this stupid rock." With that, he hops into the boat and gets ready to leave. Seeing that no one is following him, he turns around. "Well, if you're going to be like that, I guess we can take 5 minutes to rest, but no longer." I'm personally...

Having distracted the Impaler while Finn snuck up behind it, Ardens slips out of it's reach as it thrashes from Finnean's attack. He then begins yet another incantation, hoping to put the creature down quickly. As he finishes his chant, a burst of flame shoots up from the ground, momentarily...

Go for it Son of Meepo. It's an extra 2d6 that the party can potentially get on this guy by you having CA. Then I can get out of the way and Damien can try to knock him prone for Cyrus.

Finn could always stand and charge. That said, it's either you or Cyrus that would benefit from it. The only other melee we have is Ixen, and he's kind of out of commission right now.

Thanks for the clarification jsb. I'm going to wait in melee until Fin acts, who will be waiting for Jesse to act. That way, Fin can come up behind the impaler and get combat advantage for sneak attack

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but didn't that last impaler flee? At the point when you said this, there was only one impaler left on the field. The one that hit me this past turn and is currently in melee with me, so I assumed this guy was gone. Also, I should be at 15 HP, not 10. I was at...

Since Ixen made his saving throw, it looks like Finn (who already has one failed death save) is the best target for your potion. Why don't you act before him so Finn can act on his turn.

Ardens appears unfazed by the tentacles sprouting from the swarm. After all, as long as he stays out of reach, what does he care how many arms a creature has. Seeing an opening as the tentacles busy themselves attacking Finnean and Cyrus, Ardens blasts the creature with another wave of searing...

After seeing the target before him fall, Ardens turns around and casts a spell in an attempt to burn away more of the swarm. After the fire dissipates, the party sees a large number of blackened craud fall out of the swarm. Standard Action: Scorching Burst Craud Impaler 4: 1d20+3=10 vs Reflex...

"Thanks for the offer, but I prefer to avoid close combat whenever possible," Ardens says to Ixen as he uses the opening the dragonborn created to get out of melee. With that, he casts a spell, scorching the Impaler and Crusher next to Ixen. Without even pausing to see the effects of his spell...

Yea, so I was going to post yesterday, but I got locked out of my apartment for the night and half the next day, so I spent half the day trying to do what I was supposed to get done in the entire day. Today was projects and midterms. That said, I'm about to take my turn. I'm just responding now...

Focusing on keeping the dragonborn from dieing caused Ardens to briefly lose track of the swarm to his side. Suddenly, he felt a quick pull as the his ally pulls him out of reach of the swarm's attack. "I was going to be just fine. There's no reason for you to be touching me with those grubby...

That's exactly right HM. At least, that was the process that went through my head, which is why I used the healing potion on you in the first place. Ixen should be alive at 15 hp, 10 after the ongoing damage at the start of his turn. Take your turn and heal yourself up. :)

Thanks for the clarification. I edited my post.
