[LPF] The Forbidden Isle of Ancient Secrets

[jackslate45]

Moving Around the corner, Aradra sees the celestial creature fighting 2 things at once. Deciding to even the odds, the solider takes aim and fires an arrow at one of them, while Shadow runs around the archon's right side to attack the middle one.

[jbear]

With that Relic hurries forward, eager to see what danger the archon has run into.

[sblock=OOC] Relic had continued to move further along as well earlier. [/sblock]

Relic reaches where the water floods the passage again. He assumes the sound of digging he can hear means that they must be near to where the skum are trying to free their god. He levitates up into the air as high as he can go in the passage way and pushes himself forward hoping to go undetected.

[sblock=Actions] Assuming Relic reached 39L last round Relic will use his ability to levitate himself at will to go as high as he can before he touches the roof of the passage way. Then he uses the wall to push himself forward as far as he can with a move action. [/sblock]

 

[Systole]

Daylily sighs and strides forward, laying about him with the horsechopper. "Nots even worths to getting the blood on the blade..." he mutters.

[sblock=OOC]Even without rage, Daylily drops an uninjured skum on anything but a natural 1.

Skum insta-kill (1d20=20) plus crit confirm Skum chunky salsa (1d20=19)[/sblock]

 

[Satin Knights]

As the party moves in, the poor skum drop like flies.
[sblock=Relic]I had only single moved you, instead of double, so you got that extra movement. But, std to cast Levitate, move action to get to ceiling, the haste only got you to the ceiling faster. So, still at L39 at the ceiling 15' up.

The wall (M38) you are trying to push against is infinitely slippery, giving you nothing to push against. In fact, your hands sink right through the Will save (1d20+9=26) illusion. Peering through the illusion, you see Kn Dungeoneering (1d20+10=12) a huge tentacled beast/fish with three red eyes that you have never seen or heard of before. [MENTION=75065]jbear[/MENTION] You have used your actions, but still could talk this round to warn Kalinn before we go to next round.

Kalinn, who can't see what's ahead and is somewhat concerned about what might be coming up behind - after all, they'd rushed forward in Relic's wake very quickly - holds where she is and calls out to the others. "Everything all right up there? I hear fighting . . . let me know if you need me, Daylilly!"​

[Satin Knights]

From the ground and water, a field of purplish black tentacles rise up and start bashing and grabbing the party and the unconscious skum alike. Although Relic and Kalinn cannot see it with their hazy eyes, the one skum at the wall continues his digging, oblivious to the fight going on behind him, even when his partner falls in a splatter from Daylily's blade. The wounded wall, with so few now digging at it, seems to be healing back up and repairing itself.

Daylily can see further down the hallway, another skum, this one dressed in robes.

[sblock=Combat Round 11]Inside the purple circle is Black Tentacles as the spell.

[jbear]

[sblock=OOC]Is that CMD correct? The spell says that the CMD is the CMB+10. The spell says the CMB is caster level +5 (size and strength). You rolled +17. So CMB is 12. 12+10 =22 to escape grapple... Or is the skum using something to double the CMD? [/sblock]

"To my right! The wall is an illusion! A creature hides there! A huge three eyed fish of all things!!" Relic warns the others.

[sblock=Questions]
I think I need a good think about what to do next. That spell is pretty nasty.

Question: Is the tunnel only 15 ft high? If so, as soon as I enter the zone invisible or not Relic will get grappled won't he? He can't go higher and levitate above it, right?

Question: Is the creature he has seen behind the wall of illusion looking at him? E.g. Has Relic been detected? Does the creature look as though it is preparing to enter the fight as well or is it bound in some way? Is it underwater? Do I need a Sense Motive check to know that?
[/sblock]

 

[Satin Knights]

[sblock=questions answered]The tunnel is only 15' high. But, the tentacles only have a 5' reach, so staying at the top of the chamber, Relic would be safe to cross.

Well, until you shouted something, you had a +40 stealth from the invisibility. Now, it would be a +20 stealth bonus. Yeah, give me a sense motive on a fish. Possible, but slight penalties there.
It is looking towards your way.
unknown if Relic has been detected, hence sense motive attempt.
Entering fight? Sense motive roll too.
In water 2-3 deep. The creature is much bigger than that. Size huge. 10' wide hallway, 15' creature. Can't see it's backside to see if it is chained down.
[/sblock]

 

[jbear]

And then Relic shuts his trap, taking a brief moment to study the massive fish in front of him, while he considered what to do, given the black tentacle spell that he was only too familiar with, given he also had that spell memorized himself. Berating himself for wasting his time trying to get a read on a fish Relic decides he had better assume the worst, especially as he had risked speaking in order to alert the group about the hidden danger. He figured that another archon would be a good ally in this fight and set to summoning a second archon, right up close, next to the massive fish.

"An evil wizard, and a powerful one at that has joined the fight further down the hallway" warns the original hound archon as he struggles futilely to free himself from the black tentacles, still under instructions to alert Relic of danger, though this was nothing that the old wizard had not all ready guessed himself.
[sblock=Actions]
Sense Motive vs Fish 13
Cast Summon Monster IV, to summon another Hound Archon adjacent to the huge fish creature (Full Round Action)
Original Hound Archon attempts to escape Grapple: 23 vs CMD 22=Success Edit: This is actually still a fail, sorry. CMD is 27 not 22.

[jackslate45]

Aradra swears at the top of his voice as the tentacles wrap tighter around his legs. He tries the best he can to move, but the tentacles are holding him tight in place, causing him being unable to move. However, he notices that Shadow has escaped, struggling to get out. Yelling at the top of his voice "SHAODW! GET OUT OF THOSE TENTACLES! RUN PAST DAYLILY!"

Freed of the black wrappers, Shadow moves out of the area towards Not-so-Smelly Elf, when he notices the smell of another fish man. Turning towards the Second Skin looking fish man, he tries to get closer.
[sblock=Actions]
Aradra & Shadow: Escape Attempt
1d20+13=21, 1d20+14=28
Aradra Fails, but Shadow does get out.

Shadow: with 80' get closer to the robed caster. Hopefully Shadow can trip it so Daylily can smack him upside the head.
