(1d20+10=11, 1d4+5=9, 1d20+15=19, 1d20+8=12)</a> Doesn't confirm, but it does beat you on the Improved Grab check.  Sry, but Darius is grappled again, still underwater, and takes 9 damage (Overcomes DR/Magic)Carl realizes that he won't get out of this things reach easily, so your only alternative is: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1630377/" target="_blank">Defensive casting of Eldritch Blast (1d20+17=31)</a>  which succeeds.  I also rolled your <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1630379/" target="_blank">SR check (1d20+12=30)</a>  which also succeeds.  Dead octopus.<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1630386/" target="_blank">Octopus Reflex vs Flame Strike; Attack; Damage; Grapple if hit(Octo;Ryash) (1d20+8=28, 1d20+10=22, 1d4+5=8, 1d20+15=20, 1d20+9=22)</a> <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1630387/" target="_blank">Ryash SR check (1d20+12=22)</a>  You beat it's SR, but The octopus saves for half(8 fire, 8 holy.  Resists the fire damage), Fortunately, it's tentacle misses Ryash.Rhokkan's jump check DC is doubled b/c you don't get a running start, meaning you jump 10 feet.  Due to your reach you get close enough to stab it, but aren't close enough to grab on.  You'll need a swim check on your next action to do anything. [Rhokkan has a total swim check of +8... +10 str - 2 (double armour check penalty)]You do, however, hit it for 28 damage. (It looks nearly dead after that and the flame strike)Now for the other side...<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1630412/" target="_blank">Touch Attack; Grapple check(Octopus; Darius) (1d20+10=23, 1d20+15=27, 1d20+8=19)</a> It hits, and succeeds at grappling you, then moves into your square and <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1630413/" target="_blank">Octopus Constrict (2d8+6=16)</a>.*EDIT: Ignore the touch attack, it doesn't matter as I forgot he was allready grappling you*Darius takes another 16 damage (overcomes DR). For a total of 25 damage this round.  Also, you don't need to worry about con checks vs drowning yet.. I'll tell you if/when they become neccessary.  It also takes you 5' deeper.  The NEW octopus on the left is surfaced, the one on the right (as well as Darius, in its grasp) is now 10' below the surface.[/sblock]</blockquote>
