[Adventure] Desolation Island (DM: jsb420; JUDGE: covaithe)

[Darksteed]

[sblock=OOC]Treex don't groan at Gimlord. This adventure is already stupid fast. In most adventures it's usually a post a week. If your lucky a post every four days. We are doing super awesome here.

As for my action. I'm just waiting on the other two to post. Need to see if I can get CA on anything. Flank or otherwise.[/sblock]

 

[treex]

[sblock=OOC] Actually, I'm well aware of our speed compared to all the others. 200 posts in how many days now? (One encounter ended and starting a new one already!)
But I think it's the fact that we're all excited newbies xD[/sblock]

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

Ixenvalignat sees the hesitancy in his comrades, "Oh for the love of the Great Dragon's scales!" he rolls his eyes at the lot, "Don't tell me you're afraid of these little thingies! We used to skewer them and roast them over an open fire on the beach back home." The warlord looks curiously around,"OK, who wants to be first on my spit!" The taunt seems to have been understood by the foul crustaceans, because they begin to waver in their advance, "Alright then, seeing no volunteers, I'll decide." The dragonborn draws his sword, "You there! You look good enough to eat!"

With that, the draconic warlord charges at the closest crawdad, dealing it a decent blow.[sblock=Actions]I'm going to assume he stepped out of the boat drawn.

Damien seeing the beasts spring forth from the water stand unwavering. Hmmm.. interesting I have never hunted giant shell fish before... he pondered. O well first time for everything...

With that he notices a huge crab with giant pincers approaching Cyrus. "Dibs on the big one!" Damien shouts "They are all big ones!" he hears from one of his comrades "Exactly" as Damien sports a big grin.

Reef(er) Madness – Round 1

[sblock=ooc]Shrimp scampi, BBQ shrimp, sautéed shrimp, grilled shrimp, gumbo shrimp, shrimp kabobs, butterfly shrimp, coconut shrimp… [REF: Forrest Gump][/sblock]

Although he was expecting something to happen, Ardens was not ready when the creatures suddenly jumped out of the water. He falls into his spellcasting, focusing on the target that popped out directly in front of his group, but the spell fizzles as he is startled by another of the creatures popping out of the water behind him.

Ixenvalignat sees the hesitancy in his comrades, "Oh for the love of the Great Dragon's scales!" he rolls his eyes at the lot, "Don't tell me you're afraid of these little thingies! We used to skewer them and roast them over an open fire on the beach back home." The warlord looks curiously around,"OK, who wants to be first on my spit!" The taunt seems to have been understood by the foul crustaceans, because they begin to waver in their advance, "Alright then, seeing no volunteers, I'll decide." The dragonborn draws his sword, "You there! You look good enough to eat!" With that, the draconic warlord charges at the closest crawdad, dealing it a decent blow.

Damien notices a huge crab with giant pincers approaching Cyrus. "Dibs on the big one!" Damien shouts "They are all big ones!" he hears from one of his comrades "Exactly" as Damien sports a big grin.

Cyrus rushes down the gauntlet safely between the pair of giant crabs before turning abouts. Now having the room he needed to move in. He rush back into the fay of things and leaps upon the back of the giant crustacean bringing his blade in between it's hard carapace exoskeleton.

The boiling mass of shrimp-like creatures surges up onto the right atoll. Ixenmalignat swings at it, displacing it briefly but his attack seems ineffective against the whole mass. Heedless of Ixen’s attack, the swarm descends onto Damien, engulfing him.

The shrimp creatures close in and attack. The dazed creature, rears up and makes a stab at Ardens, then tries to shake its confusion and fails.

[sblock=Enemy Actions]Craud Shrimp Swarm: moves to R9:S10, OA from Ixen (MBA vs swarm opp atk (1d20+7=25, 1d10+7=16) – hit for 8 (half damage). Attack Damien: attacks Damien vs REF 1d6+5 and ongoing 3 (save ends). (1d20+7=22, 1d6+5=7) hit for 7 and ongoing 3 (save ends).

[/sblock]

[sblock=Terrain, Please Read]Coral Atoll (whitish area): firm ground, not difficult terrain; if knocked prone, that PC takes 1d4 damage in addition to any other damage.

Coral Mounds (C7: D8; G10:H12; J10:L11; U7:V8; Y10:Z11; AB10:AC11): considered difficult terrain.

Submerged Coral (light green area): Consider one FULL square adjacent to the Coral Atoll to be underwater and difficult terrain, this also applies to the area between the two coral atolls. Depth ranges from 1 to 2 feet of water.

Deep Water: Beyond one square from the coral atoll is a 20-foot vertical drop to the sea floor.

Swimming:
Swim or Tread: (as part of movement): DC 10 (calm waters) If swimming north or south, every 2 squares of movement towards the coral atoll will slide you 1 square to the east. If swimming to the west, you can only move 1/4 speed. If swimming east, double your swimming movement.

Success: you swim half your speed

Failure (by 4 or less): you can’t swim any further as part of a movement action, but you are treading water
Failure (by 5 or more): you can’t move any further and you sink 1 square.

*NOTE: The sea grass becomes thicker as you move away from the coral atoll. The DC to swim increases by 2 for each square beyond the start of the Deep Water (EX: DC 10 - 1 sq away from the Submerged Coral; DC 12 - 2 sq away, etc).

**NOTE: There is no Athletics check to climb up onto the difficult terrain of the Submerged Coral areas.

The scuffle had started and sword had pierced crustacean flesh long before Jesse realized what was going on. Jesse lashes out instinctively turns around and lashes out at the creatures behind him, less worried about the ones in front. His allies can deal with them.
Shadow tendrils burst forth and cling to the over sized lobsters, pulling them down and fooling their crustacean mind.

"That was lucky~ I'm still unharmed. Thanks to your arms, friends!"

[sblock=Actions]Standard Action: Grasping Shadows (burst 1)@ V12

A zone of Grasping Shadows is created from T11 till W13 Any creature entering this zone takes 5 psychic damage and is slowed UEONT. As such please show it in the next map update to avoid any confusion.

[sblock=OOC]I find Gimlord's format to be VERY efficient, as such I shall try to use it as well, hope you don't mind?
Checking up the rules for movement and all that, might edit a move action in. Oh, and can we make monster knowledge checks?

*Cyrus ducks and weaves past the fray he was in. He rolls out to on side. Quickly getting back up to his feet. He is agile and swift. His speed and footwork getting the batter of the slower crabs. He feints to the side and then brings in a blows to one of the Craud Impaler's legs, except instead the fates yet again mock him. The blade simply bouncing off the Craud's thick carapace.*

Finnean tries to pull away from the swarm, but several hundred of the tiny creatures had already rushed over him. As he tumbled back, he crushed a few dozen, but it was like roll over razor blades. His injuries do not impede his attack, as he finds a gap in the chitinous plates of the crusher, finishing it.

Finnean takes a moment to let his psychic energy heal his wounds and the bleeding wounds are soon closed.
