[LPF] Beggar's Belief

[GlassEye]

OOC: Megan is up! Then the Guardian (since we have Ariel's actions for round two). The gear/treasure is in F3 and easily retrievable as you swim by. An extra rope so that you can pull it up after you surface/get to shore is fine, too.

OOC: I will wait for the sharks' actions before I post for the Guardian.

Megan stiffens as she saw large, black shapes gliding towards her, instinctively tugging the coracle closer to her body for protection. Unfortunately, in her panic she sorta flounders about.

OOC: I don't really know how to get pass the sharks. I originally thought to distract them with the goblin corpses, but we didn't bring those along since we have the boat. At this point, I can only think of using Stump's illusion to get pass them.

Emerging from the tunnel and seeing the dark forms dart through the water so near gives Megan a bit of a start. As she flails at the water the sharks torpedoe towards her with teeth flashing.

With Megan positioned in front of the tunnel Ariel takes advantage of the speed she's gained pulling herself through the tunnel and slides past the other woman so that she is swimming just above Megan.

[sblock=Combat]I'm not really certain what each of you has in-hand or wearing so if you could clarify in your next posts so I can correct the combat block below I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Character              AC  HP  InHand/Condition   Depth
Megan                  17  16  none/none      -25 ft.
Shark 1                13  13  none/none      -25 ft.
Shark 2                13  13  none/none      -25 ft.
Ariel                  12? 16  none/none      -20 ft.
Guardian               17? 19  none?/none     -25 ft.
Stump                  14  18  none/none      -25 ft.

Round One - no combat, coracle sank, sharks spotted, Ariel and Stump failed swim.
Round Two continuing - Megan fails swim.

This combat is definitely stacked against you with the sharks and swim checks needed. It probably won't be pretty but I don't think it's insurmountable.[/sblock]

OOC: Guardian is up!

OOC: Megan is wearing her armor, so her AC of 17 is correct. Does the boat provide its current occupants with some cover? If Megan pulls out her dog slicer, does she take a penalty the STR check to move the boat?

 

[GlassEye]

OOC: I suppose it is possible that the coracle could serve as a crude improvised shield giving +1 AC and a -2 ACP should Megan (or someone) wish to use it as such. It won't provide cover, however. The Str check was to avoid losing the bubble of air trapped under it. No Str check is now required to move it; however, pulling it along or using it as a shield will hinder your swimming, hence the ACP above. Pulling out her dogslicer won't affect Megan's actions in any fashion.

OOC: Ariel's AC is 12. Sorry about that. No weapon in hand while swimming yet. I think it is time to use the shark repellant.

 

[Walking Dad]

The Guardian ties to move the boat forward. They will need air and perhaps they will be able to flee on dry land.

[sblock=OOC]
The guardins AC is right, he isn't using his shield. He has still his cesti on his hands. His HP is only 18, but he is no open wounds, thanks to the magic healing.

AC: 19 (currently 17), Touch: 12, FF: 16
CMD: 16
Fort +3, Refl +4, Will +1

HP: 18/19

Stump finally gets his fish legs and darts through the water like a little minnow.

OOC: Again, the air has leaked from the coracle so no Str check needed to move it. Megan has pulled it around like she might try to position it to give her a little defense but hasn't done so yet.

OOC: Megan is up!

 

[VVilhem]

OOC: Can we get an updated map so we know who's next to what? And since the air is leaked out, is it correct to assume, with the exception of providing cover, the boat is now useless?

Trying to buy her friends some time, Megan pulls out her dagger and stabs at the nearest shark, hoping the little cover that the boat offers as well as her armor would protect her.

OOC: I don't konw if using the boat as cover would require an action. Cover is cover, right?
