Under strange stars

(OOC: Sorry, Rayex, but I´d appreciate if you could be somewhat more precise. Are you going to try to free yourself via a grapple check -the monster is Gargantuan, by the way- or are you going to attack -you can, since kukris are light weapons? Right now, I understand you´re trying to get free, but I want to be sure.)

Jagra pits a seething curse in draconic, hoping that the monster will hear it and understand, if for no other reason that his own satisfaction. He then intones the magical words for another spell, hoping that this spell will break through the creature's resistance. At the completion of the spell, the soaked rhubarb leaf and the adder's stomach dissolve into a large cloud of acrid smoke, from which fires a sickly green arrow composed fully of acid. The arrow flings through the air towards the serpent. "Fly true and strike hard!", Jagra calls...

OOC: Melf's acid arrow

In that case, I am going to attack for all she's worth!
 

Amira lets out a shout of panic, which is quickly muffled by the falling parts of the mast, the sail and all other parts falling on her. She manages to avoid most of the falling objects and gets up having taken some minor bruises.

"Curse you!" she yells at the serpent, who has Shin'nairo grappled and casts a spell at the monster. Four magical bolts fly from her fingertips and hit the serpent with uncanny accuracy. (cast Magic Missile)

While the serpent has Shin'nairo in it's grasp, Razeem sees an opportunity to attack. With a swooping move the mephit gathers his courage and tries to manage his way against the wind and slash the grappling serpent's flesh with his little claw. (Razeem should be able to punch through the DR, because he has DR/magic himself)
 

Al-Khazad, Captain

Tumbling past the falling mast, he attacks with Lightning's Breath two-handed.

Curse the luck, we're in the hands of fates now. Who knows where we will end up.

OOC: +15/+10 1-6+3 +1-6 elec. crit 15-20 +1-10 elec.
 

Shin´nairo, now in her huge form, slashes wildly with her free arm, while most of the group gang around the monster attacking with spells and weapons. Even Razeem leaves the relative security of the mast to add his little help. Seeing Menghil charge, Al-Khazad steps aside, dropping his dagger and slashing with his shining scimitar with all the strenght he´s able to gather and spilling blood. When the serpent turns to him, Menghil arrives through a wave that sweeps the deck, and rips a cruel wound on the beast´s side. Meanwhile, Shin´nairo hacks wildly… even when the thing raises it´s head and, in two great gulps, swallows the elf.

[Correction: Al-Khazad has Evasion, so he should have not suffered any damage last round (it was a reflex save for half)

Jagra finally finds the right tool for the job; the acid arrow burns away 5 hit points.

Shin´nairo attacks the snake. Grappling, she can´t use two weapons to attack, but she manages to even the scales scoring two critical hits. Total damage is 28.

Al-Khazad steps to the monster´s side, so Menghil can flank the beast, and attacks again. Hits twice, but deals poor damage (17)

Amira casts Magic Missile, but fails to beat spell resistance.

Razeem challenges the wind and wins; makes a good attack and deals 5 damage.

Menghil enter rage and charges, despite the wind. Since the monster is using the mouth right now, can´t make attacks of opportunity. The cutlass, wielded two handed, breaches the snakes hide (could only fail with a 1) and deals 20 damage, helped with sneak attack.

The snake you´ve been attacking seems to be in rather bad shape. It, however, manages to swallow Shin´nairo whole (26 damage). The other snake kills two crew members and moves back into the sea. Both suffer further attacks by Halima and her men.

Status: Shin´nairo 30/70, Amira 36/45. Spells: Bless, Enlarge Person.]

Amira forgets about using direct damage spells, because the creatures seem to be very resistant to magic. She instead concentrates on improving her allies fighting ability by making them faster. (Casting Haste, affecting as many allies as she can, beginning with the best fighters. She makes sure, that especially Al-Khazad and Menghil will recieve the spell's benefit.)

Razeem keeps clawing the serpent, who swallowed Shin'nairo. This time full attack with both claws.
 

Menghil 83/83

Barely cognizant of the battle raging around him, Menghil keeps hacking away at the serpent in front of him, doing his best to expand the tear he has already placed in the beast's side. The scimitar rises and falls with a terrible pounding force.

[OOC - full attack +17/+12 and another at +17 if hasted; 1d6+11 damage. +2 to hit, +3d6 damage if still flanking.

AC = 19 now. Rage round 2/6]

I thought so too, but not till 9th level. Oops, for some reason I thought we were 8th level. :o

Seeing what has happened his companion, Al-Khazad gets more cautious as he fights to free here with speed.

+15/+15/+10 1-6+3 +1-6 elec. crit on 15-20 2-12+6 +1-10 elec. AC 25

mods:+2 flanking, +1 bless, +1 haste-4 fighting defensively with tumbling.
mods +1 haste +3 tumbling.

Frustrated, Jagra whips out an acid flask, runs closer to the creature and tosses the opened flask at the creature...
