NOTE TO ALL: Cyr has superior will so gets the save against such mental states at the start of his turn

GM: I'm a bit confused by the turn. As far as I know this is the first opportunity Cyr has had for Cast Fortune to affect him. Cyr was granted 1 save by Tarkus (he only grants the save if he hits with the attacK), but you would have rolled a 5, failing the roll and consuming the first roll from Cast Fortune. At the start of your turn you would have made a save against being dazed and an Acrobatics check, those rolls would have used up the 3 and the last 5 from Cast Fortune, but both rolls would have failed.

OOC: Yeah, I totally spaced on Cast Fortune affecting saves...I used it for the attacks. So, first granted save (Tarkus AP = 5 FAIL; Tarkus uses his holy symbol to grant another at +2 3+2 = 5 FAIL)) At the start of the turn Acrobatics = 5 FAIL REDOING THE ACTIONS ABOVE removed 8 damage from both aboleths put cyr in new location with Standard action as aboleth decides (slide 1d8 = 6 (1 being north and going clockwise) added prone to cyr status added 5 damage to him due to being dazed in the aura EDIT: [MENTION=78756]Son of Meepo[/MENTION]: DONE EDIT EDIT: may I retroactively use Miraculous Fortune reducing Air elemental damage by 5 and granting Martelai +1 to hit TENT so he hits the aboleth? EDIT EDIT EDIT : what kind of knowledge checks would be required to learn about abishai and/or elemental (I'm assuming aboleths are aberrations (dungeoneering) right?)

EDIT EDIT EDIT : what kind of knowledge checks would be required to learn about abishai and/or elemental (I'm assuming aboleths are aberrations (dungeoneering) right?)

GM: Yes, you may use Miraculous Fortune. It's an interrupt, so it goes off before you are dazed. Elementals are well... elemental, so arcana for it. Abishai are immortals so you use religion. Aboleths are abberant, so dungeoneering is used.

Oi! Ye bag of slime. Ya missed. Try again.

*Kauldron taunts the Aboleth. Right before the ship turns heavily and Kauldron goes for a spill. Slamming into Tarkus along the way.*

Sorry lad. Hope your alright there.

*Kauldron states to Tarkus as he rolls over. He pinches a sling bullet in his hand then fires it off with his thumb at the first Aboleth. It zips past at blinding speeds, though totally off in the wrong direction.*

Hmm I can see this new toy will take some time to get used to.

*He slides upon his rear further towards the front of the ship.*

[sblock=OOC]Well at least I'm getting all these natural 1's out of the way. Ha![/sblock]

Try as he might, the others cannot help Cyr shake the aboleth's mind control. It beckons him... *COME TO ME! COME!* Cyr stands up and turns towards the side of the ship but then comes to his senses realizing that he would be leaping towards his death.

[sblock=Cyr]Dominated Action: Stand Up[/sblock]

The remaining crew weathers the storm and works to stabilize the sails. The manage to cut one at the middle mast but the other still blow in the gale.

GM: The DC for the start of turn Acrobatics is reduced by 2 to 14/10

The air elemental fades from view for a moment before the winds pick up, pelting Martelai and Earth.

[sblock=Air Elemental]Start of Turn: Phantom on the Wind - The air elemental becomes invisible whenever it starts its turn without an enemy adjacent to it. The invisibility lasts until the end of its next turn or until it attacks.

Targets (Martelai, Earth)
Attack: Close blast 3 (enemies in the blast); +13 vs. Reflex

Damage;Attacks (Martelai, Earth) (3d8+5=23, 1d20+13=21, 1d20+13+2=21) (HIT, HIT)
[/sblock]

The abishai continue to rain thunderous blasts down upon the ship. As Tarkus is nearly dropped by the blast, the rush of adrenaline clears his head and he is just barely able to avoid the brunt of the other two. His wounds are great however.

[sblock=Storm Abishai]Standard: Thunderbolt
Area burst 2 within 10; +10 vs Reflex; 2d6+5 thunder damage.
Abishai 1 centers on N15 at Elevation 2 (Targets Tarkus, Martelai, Earth, Brenwar)

Abishai 2 - Damage;Tarkus, Martelai, Earth, Brenwar (2d6+5=9, 1d20+10=13, 1d20+10+2=14, 1d20+10+2=28, 1d20+10=24) (MISS, MISS, HIT, HIT)

Abishai 3 - Damage;Dox, Kauldron, Tarkus (2d6+5=9, 1d20+10=21, 1d20+10=29, 1d20+10=13) (HIT, HIT, MISS)

Move: Indicated on Map[/sblock]

One aboleth has taken enough punishment and decides to flee while it still can. The other takes aim at Kauldron, dazing him with a thrust of psychic energy.

[Rapida]

OOC: [MENTION=78756]Son of Meepo[/MENTION] I think you forgot to reduce the second bit of damage by 4 (since I spent a surge).

 

[Son of Meepo]

GM: Took the damage from the wrong column. HP should be fixed for Brenwar now.

 

[Darksteed]

OOC: Well...hmmm...My plan of stalling Aboleth 2 with tons of penalties and Kauldron's high Will didn't work at all. Thanks Dice Roller!

 

[Rapida]

OOC: I'm sort of at a loss as to how to be helpful, can anyone get someone within reach?

 

[Neurotic]

Martelai shakes his head as the winds buffet him and he looses his balance sliding toward water. He takes a deep breath recovering from the attack and hoping short rest and the distance from his allies will give him a moment without attacks.

[sblock=Actions]
Free: Acrobatics (1d20+4=7) slid 2 and prone
Free: Direction (1 is north, going clockwise) (1d8=2)

Standard: Second Wind - recover 15 hp and gain +2 to all defenses

NOTE TO PLAYERS: Skull Mask: enemies who can see Martelai take -2 to saving throws vs Fear effects
[MENTION=78756]Son of Meepo[/MENTION], you didn't roll saving throw for aboleth 2 to save from ongoing...and tell me if aboleth 1 drops even while retreating...and if he does, slide aboleth 2 next to the ship (rod of avernus property)
