[Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

[sblock=GM] Can I move to B17 or D17? Would either of those spots be considered light blue (as opposed to dark blue or impassable due to mangroves).[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]PCs are up. Iron Sky's and MetaVoid's PCs aren't quite here yet, so it's still just Ferris, Jezebel, and Alnar for now. Certain actions/events will trigger their arrival.

@ samursus - You can move to B17 via C18, as both squares are partially-occupied calm water, and therefore difficult, but not impassible terrain. D17 is more than half-occupied by dark-blue, fast-moving water so movement into or through the square will require a swim check and limit you to half-speed, and if your movement ends in that square you'll get pushed 1 square to E17, which is the start of the rapids where the water is cascading over the crocodile dam. If you end your movement/turn in a rapids square you'll get pushed 2 squares downstream.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]I don't get to go yet as Sir Exsixten hasn't been activated yet...[/sblock]

I'm going to turn you all into a boots! Alnar shouts, angry once again at losing Draco. With a wave of his hand radiant energy materializes out of thin air and strikes the crocs.

ooc:it keeps auto formatting for some reason and putting in two action blocks. Sorry about that.
[sblock=actions]
Standard= Blazing Starfall D 15 Burst 1 centered just above the water to that is will hit the crocs you can see, but also damage anything below the water.

Rolls

Kythiran croc 1 miss. (13 vs ref)
Kythiran croc 2 Hit, 7 radiant damage (20 vs ref)
Young Croc # 6 miss. (10 vs ref)

(I don't think I hit any more crocs, but please roll for me if I did. Also I am having a hard time telling where they moved, since every move has a - after it and there are +A and -A etc. on the map).

[sblock=ooc]All the young crocs that dived ended their movement in the negative rows, i.e. -A#, -B#, or -C# (Where # stands for a particular numbered column). The ones that failed their stealth checks kept moving a bit and some of them ended in positive rows, i.e. A#, B#, or C#. The ones that dived didn't necessarily stay where they ended their first move action though.

I'll update again tomorrow once we have actions for Ferris and Jezebel in.

@ Luinnar - you can fix the multiple sblock issue by clicking the source button in the upper right hand corner of the post dialogue. Sometimes if you have color tags that open, but don't close within the sblock it messes up the sblock. You can try playing around with it if you like, but it's not a big deal if not.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]That worked, thanks! [/sblock]

Jezebel retaliates against the big croc and misses, as usual.

[sblock=Stat block/Actions][sblock=Actions]Standard: Valorous Smite misses big croc 1... by 1. Big croc is still divine challenged.
Move: none since I can't move without being attacked.

Ferris pulls his battleaxe from his belt and edges in beside Jezebel. "Once more into the fray, hopefully with me not being knocked unconscious this time..."

He feels the battle lust within his blood stir.


Ferris swings at the crocodile, attempting to mark it with Dayna's anger, but his foots shifts in the murky shallows and his swing goes wild.

For a moment the large crocodiles simply stare at you meancingly. Meanwhile, a baby croc darts in to snap at Ferris' ankles causing him to wince in pain. Then the shifty little thing quickly leaps backward and dives below the surface of the water.

Another of the small creatures swims in a crazy arc, and darts behind Jezebel and Ferris, harrying the tiefling from behind.

The bull croc tries to take advantage of Jezebel's distraction but is once again deflected by her dark plate armor.

The baby croc sandwiched between mommy and daddy leaves the protection of its parents, jumping up on land right next to Alnar. It snaps at the sorcerers calves, giving him a nasty bite, then quickly darts into the mangroves and out of sight.

Seeing the bull croc struggling against Jezebel, the female attempts to come to its mate's aid. But the well armored tiefling just smiles at the scaly thing's fruitless efforts.

The party looks around, knowing full well that many small crocs lurk below the surface, but none of them reveal themselves just yet. Ferris though, with his keen eyes and good night vision, spots a robed figure with pale skin and indigo markings striding into view on the other side of the lake, near the crocodile's cave.

[sblock=ooc]Well, so far Jezebel seems just as good at not getting hit by the crocs as she is at not hitting them, which is definitely a good thing.

PCs are up, and welcome MetaVoid! Cyr can act this round along with everyone else.[/sblock]

"I hate to be the bearer of more good news, but there is a strange man across the way...." Ferris nods in the new arrivals direction.

Ferris once again swings at the large bull croc with his battleaxe.... Righteous Brand=15 vs AC : Miss

...but between the ankle-biters and the muddy footing, he doesn't land a solid hit.
