[LPF] The Forbidden Isle of Ancient Secrets

[Satin Knights]

As Daylily runs off to save the mermaid, the chuul takes his own parting attack, clawing Daylily across the shoulder. Curiously, it doesn't keep him, but lets the elf run away. Turning instead on the wolf, both claws rip into the wolf's flesh.

Frost is unable to wiggle free as the other chuul continues to squeeze and claw at her. She is able to kick one of the claws away, but the other wounds her deeply.

[sblock=Aradra]Actually, the grey wall of the middle pool is blocking your line of sight to the seaweed creature. After you move, you will know:

Sargassum Fiend. Pheromones cause a mirage effect in a very large area, causing people to see what they desire most, "or become enraptured by the scent. An enraptured creature sees the monster as whatever would most compel it to approach. This might be a lost loved one, a child in need of help, an enchanting mermaid, the promise of dry land, and so on."
Weaknesses none; so DR 5/slashing
Resist: Cold 10. That covers 3 questions.[/sblock]

Shadow tries to bite twice, but fails to connect both times.

Aradra, hoping to end the fight quicker, releases a barrage of arrows towards both of targets.
[sblock=Actions]
Shadow:
Full Round Attack. Both Attacks Missed AGAIN!
1d20+12=20, 1d20+5=11

Aradra:
Shadow holds a more important spot than Daylily, so Aradra has to assist the wolf

Full round attack with RS/DA/MS. If the Chuul drops from the Arrow barrage before he runs out attacks , Aradra will send the other arrows at the other standing Chuul
1st Attack: Hits for 26, killing that one.
1d20+13=27, 2d8+20=26

2nd Attack +12 1d8+9 (it IS grappling, so it's AC should be -2; So i think this hits)
1d20+12=25, 1d8+9=12

3rd Attack +7 1d8+9 Miss
1d20+7=17, 1d8+9=12

Once more, Winterbite does what he can to heal Kalinn's wounds, but it's a drop in the bucket. As her foe's mandibles and claws rip into her, the rage leaps up and Frost answers with shredding claws of her own!

[sblock=Actions]
Winterbite

• Standard: Cast CLW (1d8+3=9) (Not sure what his caster level is, so I went with 1st).

Frost

• Free: Drop Hafísbíta
• Free: Enter Rage, Grow Claws
• Standard: Power Attack Claw/Claw/Bite (1d20+10=30, 1d20+10=30, 1d20+10=25) (Crit Confirm (Claw Attacks) (1d20+10=16, 1d20+10=26) - One Crit) for Claw/Claw (Crit) Damage (3d6+48=58) plus Bite Damage (If Applicable) (1d6+11=14) plus Cold Damage (Minus 2 if Bite did not hit) (3d6=7)

So, total damage could be 79, 63 (If Bite did not hit), 72 (If Bite hit but cold damage does not count), or 58 (If Bite missed and cold damage does not count). In any case, Chuul is dead . . .[/sblock]

While Shadow is distracted and not up to his usual performance, his archer master puts down the overgrown lobster with another couple arrows. Turning to the second one, it gets an arrow in its side as well. Frost drops the calming influence of her blade and unleashes her dragon blood on the creature holding her. When she is done, the creature's grip on her fails as it falls in a bloody soup.

Relic moves to the top of the stairs and looks up at the seaweed monster two levels above him. "How can you tell that is a 'daughter' Daylilly? It looks like seaweed to me! I suspect it is playing tricks on your mind, friend!!" With that he extends a bony finger and shouts "Rayat Electra!" A bolt of lightning streaks up towards the creature, striking it with a crackle where it sits in the wet pool. "Hey ... wait a minute ... I think I know what that is! Daylilly!! That is no mermaid!! I promise you!!"

[Systole]

[sblock=OOC]I've got a couple courses of action here and need some GM guidance. If Relic's warning gives Daylily another save and he makes it, he'll likely go attack the seaweed monster. Otherwise, the bound mermaid would tend to make him go attack the second chuul so he's blocking it from attacking the prisoner. If the mind-affecting thing is more compulsion-y, then he'll go free the mermaid. Feel free to make the relevant rolls if it speeds things along.[/sblock]

 

[Satin Knights]

Relic rises up in the air and launches a bolt of lightning at the bed of seaweed. The whole bed lurches, making the mermaid vision flop.

[sblock=Relic]You know that it is a Sargassum Fiend, which could also be called Siren Weed. It uses mind affecting phantasms to draw its victims in.[/sblock][sblock=mid round three]

I suppose I will give Daylily the same chance as I did Shadow: Relic's Handle Daylily (1d20+9=16) (using diplomacy) failed. The two chuul are down, so Daylily would go to unchain the mermaid. But, it was enough doubt that Daylily gets a second save. That he made. Once he turns the corner, the mermaid now looks like a wet salad monster.

Daylily is up.

"These is not the Snake-Daughter! What is these?" Daylily says. He sheaths his hammer and warily moves toward the others, drawing his sling.

Daylily climbs the stairs, skirts around the edge of the bloody pool and makes his way over by Frost. With dinner stepping close and then retreating back, the seaweed tangle steps up and sloshes its way onto the stone in chase. It enters the center pool and glides over the chuul. It is getting close, but moves so slow; who it intends to have for dinner is unclear.

"Shadow, stay boy. We can handle this. STAY!"

The wolf appears to listen to the soldier, so Aradra goes ahead and closes the distance to the seaweed monster, finally getting a chance to identify what it is. Realizing the monster's tangled mass is going to be advantageous for it, Aradra yells "Daylily! Your Axe is going to be the most effective weapon against it! Cut it to shreds! Kalinn, use your claws and tear it apart!"
[sblock=Actions]
I am unsure if I still need to Push Shadow to keep him there, so I went ahead an rolled it. If he doesn't, Aradra is going to take a pot shot at the seaweed creature as he closes the distance, as his Handle Animal on Shadow is base 15
Aradra:

Free: Advice.
