Savage Tides: The Bullywug Gambit

[DarkOne-Rob]

The noise is fearsome, and though Tillandi and Cordelia are able to stop Firi'Sar's flight it is possible that there will be more to follow, shortly. Akula helps calm the elf's nerves while they retreat. The beasts cannot seem to get free of their chains as the party backs up, but from both of the other paths come voices...if you can call them that.

From the darkness between the stone columns come loud, insane screams of fury and hunger - wordless cries of once-humans now more demon than men. From the path leading to water comes a shrieking, hoarse, female voice. "Where are you, my love? Is that you, Vanthus? I knew you wouldn't leave me! Sooooo hungry...please, feed me!"

Both sets of voices are coming closer - you have perhaps a round to prepare and move before you are set upon from two sides...

Cordelia is grappling Firi'Sar, who is also prone and frightened for two more rounds resistant to [Fear] effects. For ease of play you all have "won initiative" and have a full round before any new enemies come into sight.

Please post two rounds of actions - one for "free" and one addressing incoming enemies. There are a total of three Savage Pirates coming form the maze of columns and one unique, Savage Human coming from the "tributary chamber" to the southeast.

Firi'Sar rises, shaking off the metaphorical cobwebs and his eyes immediately open in recognition. "Oh my. Thank you for the assist, but it seems our situation just became much more precarious. If I may make a suggestion, let the spurned lover come and let's step back into the trophy hall, yes?"

He's already moving that direction well before waiting for confirmation, though he pauses to glance to the northeast. "I'll try to buy us some time..."

prepare to cast Web in the area to the NE (perhaps centered at 9/W or 10/X), ideally in such a way that at least a few of the incoming figures are trapped, but with the bulk of the web in front of them- so they at least have to move either through it or around it. We will absolutely use a point from the reservoir to increase the DC to 18.

Akula N'Kuttik "Shark Splitter" Akula claps Firi'Sar on the shoulder as the fear is supressed. "Come back to us. This is not the place to run off on your own." . He taps the wizard again, "Hide yourself and take them by surprise" he adds as the elf vanishes from view. Following that he nods and retreats towrads the trophy room, a second spell coating him in a ward against evil.

(Preparatory Round)
The party generally moves to the Trophy Cave or further.
Tillandi casts Bless on the party.
Akula casts Protection from Evil on himself - @DrK, once Firi'Sar casts Web he would immediately become visible again (assuming enemies were in the area of effect). To avoid wasting an action of yours I am swapping the buff order. You can make Firi'Sar invisible during Round 1 if you like.
Firi'Sar prepares to cast Web - I'm going to let you see the enemies before you cast, @FarmerBink.

The party moves backwards to the natural choke point, the raucous noise from the savage-prisoners in their cages to their backs as howling from the kennel and oncoming savage pirates assault them from the front. Both Tillandi and Akula invoke divine protection and power upon the party and Firi'Sar gazes into the maze to his left intently. As three savage pirates appear from between the pillars he sees his opportunity to catch them in a mass of sticky webbing.

It is from the southeast that a new - and unique - enemy approaches. "You're not Vanthus! Ugh - smell like food, though! Come here! Brissa will eat you instead!"

Though she's horribly mutated, presumably by the Savage Fever, Brissa Santos was one of your leads, described by Lady Rowyn Kellani during one of your last interviews with her. If there was a savage-creature you might want to capture alive and find a way to heal, she would likely be a good choice for that...

PC action in Round 1, go!

As I understand, the web has been cast and Firi'Sar is now invisible (with Akula's spell this round).
Let's activate the slippers of spider climb and move to V/12, at least 10' up.

Correction, we'll cast web to catch the ugly trio and then move (quietly) towards the wall. Stealth is at +31 with invisibility.

"Possibly a fair bit if we can get information out of her," Cordelia replies to Firi'Sar, casting Magic Fang on Kitten.

"Flank them when they advance," Cordelia advises Kitten, the unnaturally-good-at-climbing-leopard springing up onto the ceiling ready to move beyond the advancing enemies.

Tillandi steps forward and channels energy to harm [Evil] creatures. The burst doesn't go around the corner to the savage krenshars, but does hit every other attacker.
Only one of the Savage Pirates saves, taking 2 damage, while the others all take 4.
Firi'Sar casts Web and then sneaks to...?
Two of the three Savage Pirates get grappled by the thick webbing immediately.
Akula studies Brissa Santos while casting Invisibility on Firi'Sar.
Cordelia casts Magic Fang on Kitten who then readies an action to attack the first enemy to get close enough...?

The Savage Pirates try to get free and move, with only one able to move meaningfully at all. It exits the maze of columns near Brissa.

Brissa tries to approach the party and gets stuck in the first bit of webbing she encounters.

The Savage Krenshars are not able to get free of their chains.

The party begins the battle solidly on their terms. Tillandi does some damage to all the Savage Pirates (including Brissa Santos), before Firi'Sar's webbing seems to effectively hold them all fast. Akula makes Firi'Sar invisible as he and Cordelia ready for melee with the first enemy to make it to them...next round...

Brissa moans in obvious frustration as she struggles vainly in the webbing. "Noooo! Let me freee to bite youuuu..."

Thank you again for your patience with my lack of posts this past week. I appreciate it.

More specificity in some of your posts would be helpful, however. It is difficult for me to know exactly what you want to do if you don't tell me. That said, you have some flexibility this round as a result of very effective crowd control. Please answer the questions I asked in Discord and we can move forward with combat.

Begin Round 2!

"Hold! Wait for them to come to us..." Cordelia instructs Kitten, reluctant for any of the party to get caught in the webbing. She considers making a psychic strike against their opponents sanity, but given how far gone they are she considers it wouldn't be worth the effort. So instead she follows her own instructions and holds back, hoping the enemies break their way free in dribs and drabs.

[farothel]

If they wanted the woman to live, she would have to concentrate on the others at this moment, to take them out as quickly as possible. So she took a step forward and seeing another of the savage pirates, she called upon the power of water and threw an icicle at him.

Tillandi steps and misses with her icicle.
Firi'Sar climbs the walls to prepare to flank.
Akula steps and skewers Brissa, dealing 7 damage after her DR.
Cordelia and Kitten wait for an enemy to get through, readying an attack for when one gets in melee?

The Savage Pirates and Brissa all try to get to the PCs, with Brissa and one pirate getting to melee range (but lacking the actions to attack this round).

The Savage Krenshars are not able to get free of their chains.

Everyone shifts about, carefully, jockeying for the best position to meet the enemies when they get through the webbing. Tillandi and Akula try to attack the savage woman, but only Akula's harpoon finds purchase on Brissa Santos. "Argh! That's not what Brissa likes! Come here!" she exclaims as she and one of the two savage pirates make their way to melee with the party, their crazed eyes hungry, weapons flailing, and sharp teeth clacking!

I'm going to have to start penalizing non-actions at some point here. That said, I think it reasonable that Kitten would get a readied attack last turn but I cannot adjudicate that without attack and damage rolls. Go ahead and roll attacks, but please start putting them in your posts for each round so I can fully adjudicate turns in one post!

Kitten moves to flank with Akula, attacking the savage pirate and hitting a total of three times, dealing a total of 16 damage and tripping it.
Akula stabs at and misses the savage pirate adjacent to him. Then he 5-ft steps (based on your description of actions).
Tillandi 5-ft steps and then connects with the savage pirate, but doesn't pierce it's DR.
Firi'Sar climbs up out of reach and casts Grease, DC 17, becoming visible since the spell effect includes Brissa in its AoE.
Brissa falls prone.

The Savage Pirates: One cannot get free of the webbing, another can but doesn't have enough actions to move and attack (it just moves to T12, incurring AoOs from Kitten, Akula, and Tillandi). The prone savage pirate tries to stand, incurring an AoO from Akula and Kitten. It then attacks Kitten with its cutlass and misses the cat.

Brissa tries to stand up from the Grease, failing and getting entangled (grappled, mechanically) by the Web.

The Savage Krenshars are not able to get free of their chains.

The party continues their slow, controlled assault on the savage pirates. Kitten does severe damage to one, tripping it and leaving it dying (though the unholy powers that have transformed it don't appear to be done, as it continues to snap and struggle). Tillandi and Akula don't make much of a difference with their attacks, though Firi'Sar trips the moaning Brissa with magic as he appears upside down hanging from the ceiling!

Fortunately for our heroes the pirates cannot get purchase as spells and circumstances continue to hinder them. One pirate seems hopelessly stuck in the webbing, Brissa gets entangled as she tries (and fails) to stand from the grease-slick beneath her, and the dying pirate cannot hit with its sword swing. Only one enemy makes headway, as it breaks free of the webbing and approaches the party.

The cacophony of the fight echoes much of the rest of the sea caves, with the additional howls of the krenshar in the kennel and the captive savage pirates behind the party. You also hear what sounds like steel on steel coming from the maze of columns to the northeast, though it is difficult to say confidently what is down that way past the webbing.

Two of the Savage Pirates incur AoOs. If you have Combat Reflexes you may attack them both, @DrK and @RCgothic (with Kitten). Otherwise you need to choose which you attack and how.

Firi'Sar is high enough to avoid any real threats at the moment. If the enemies are left alone to try and leap upwards at him they might be able to hit, with significant penalties to their attack rolls.

Still perched strangely high on the uneven wall, Firi'Sar smiles as the greasy floors and sticky webs serve to greatly hinder the savage onslaught. With a curious expression, he dashes nimbly across the... ceiling? He takes up a fighting stance above and behind one of the foes, doing his best to capitalize on his bizarre height advantage.

Tillandi stabs and hits one of the Savage Pirates twice (one AoO, one regular attack). It is still going, but now it should be dying, based on its wounds.
Kitten misses with her AoO but connects in the next round, destroying the Savage Pirate. It bites at Kitten, missing, and then explodes, exposing Kitten, Akula, and Tillandi to acid splash - 1d6 Acid Damage, Reflex save vs DC 15 to avoid.
Kitten misses with her claw attacks.
Akula attacks twice (one AoO, one a studied regular attack) and kills another Savage Pirate. It bites at him and misses before exploding, exposing Akula and Tillandi to its acid splash - 1d6 Acid Damage, Reflex save vs DC 15 to avoid.
Firi'Sar moves and attacks Brissa Santos, hitting but not piercing her DR.

The remaining Savage Pirate attempts to get free of the webbing and fails.

Brissa attempts to stand from prone, incurring an AoO from Firi'Sar. She fails to stand the first time but stands the second time. She doesn't have enough actions to do anything more, though.

The Savage Krenshars are not able to get free of their chains.

Slow and steady wins the race, as our heroes systematically strike down the Savage Pirates and continue to let Brissa Santos, the remaining Savage Pirate behind her, and the Savage Krenshar languish where they are. Firi'Sar seems to enjoy the best position as he remains out of reach of the enemies, but the others are able to cut down two attackers without injury until their explosions splash towards the party.

"Why won't you come and let me bite you?" mewls Brissa from the floor as she tries to rise, falls once, and then succeeds the second time. "The floor is slippery!"

Firi'Sar gets one AoO vs Brissa Santos.

Several Saving Throws are needed (one for Kitten, and two for Akula and Tillandi each). Please check the Mechanics spoiler for details and make the rolls (and damage notations) as appropriate.

There is a pool where the two explosive enemies died. Standing in it or moving through it will deal 1d6 acid damage every round. They will last for one minute, so I recommend you act as if they weren't going away until the end of combat.

Begin Round 5!

Firi'Sar's blade flickers again in the subterranean melee. Somewhat thoroughly isolated from his companions, he then saunters back up the ceiling to a high point, content to wait for his allies to help

Akula N'Kuttik "Shark Splitter" Akula grunts as the acid sprays on his legs nd thighs, "I do not like these beasts that sting even as they die." He looks across the acid pond staring a Brissa and inviting her to try her hand with him as he summons Procan power to guide his hands

Tillandi felt the acid burn through her, so she did a quick healing spell on herself now she was out of the immediate combat.

"I've got you Akula," Cordelia says, tapping him with a charge of cure light wounds from her wand. "I'll get to you next Tillandi!"

Meanwhile kitten scrambles up and over the ceiling, dropping down between her and the other entangled pirate and biting at her leg.

Tillandi, Akula, and Kitten all take some damage from acid splashing.
Firi'Sar misses with AoO and regular attacks.
Akula studies Brissa Santos and casts Divine Favor.
Tillandi casts CLW.
Cordelia activates the wand of CLW, healing Akula.
Kitten attacks Brissa Santos, dealing 2 damage and tripping her (again)

The remaining Savage Pirate continues to fail to get free of the webbing.

Brissa crawls into the acid pool and attacks (from prone), trying to hit Tillandi with her rapier and missing. Her crawling incurs AoOs from Kitten, Tillandi, and Akula, but not Firi'Sar (as he's too high up).

The Savage Krenshars are not able to get free of their chains.

The party shrugs off (or heals) the acid burns as Kitten scrambles up and over the grease to land and trip the mewling, cannibal, savage woman. "Nooooo!" Brissa Santos cries as she falls, only to clumsily splash into the acid (which doesn't appear to bother her at all) and jab awkwardly at Tillandi, leaving herself open to attacks from most of the party.

AoOs for Kitten, Tillandi, and Akula.

@RCgothic - With Kitten in the Grease effect she will need to pass a DC 16 Saving throw to avoid falling prone.

There is a pool where the two explosive enemies died (Brissa Santos is wallowing in one square of it). Standing in it or moving through it will deal 1d6 acid damage every round. They will last for nine more rounds, so I recommend you act as if they weren't going away until the end of combat.

Begin Round 6!
