Pre-combat

Belyr continues to stare at the offending patch of leaves to see if anything happens. Nothing does, at least to his eyes. It appears that the creature, whatever it is, has not realized that it has been spotted yet.

Ashril retraces his steps from the boathouse and motions for Bill to follow as he cautiously advances towards the start of the watery footpath.

 

 

OOC

The creature is hiding but does not realize you have seen it. Please feel free to act accordingly.

Since Belyr is taking the lead, Agitha begins by using a Protective Luck hex on him, then she makes sure to stay with 30' of him so she can maintain it.

Belyr Cooper

"It doesn't know we've seen it. Move forward carefully and prepare yourselves for battle," says Belyr as he continues to move forward a bit more quickly.

Mechanics

Standard action to cast Longstrider and then move action to continue down the bridge to about V36.

[Sandstar]

Pre-combat

Agitha hustles up to where Belyr and Ashril are to cast her protective hex on the cleric. Belyr then employs some magic of his own and forges ahead towards the largest island, with Ashril leading Bill onto the bridge behind him. Raph brings up the rear, squinting suspiciously at every patch of lilypads following Belyr's revelations. Agitha seemingly will have her work cut out for her to remain within 30 ft of the cleric to maintain her hex.

As Belyr approaches the island, he suddenly observes the suspicious lilypads moving purposefully towards him along the shore. Then, as he is about to step off the bridge, the water beside him explodes as two pads, covered in vicious spines, erupt and attempt to take chunks out of him! The first one fails, thanks to Agitha's hex, but the second pad connects and starts gnawing at Belyr's leg. The cleric suddenly experiences an intense burning sensation, akin to being buried under posion ivy, and struggles to keep things under control.

Notes:

The creature moved 5 ft and executed a full attack. @DarkOne7141981 please roll a Fortitude save (DC14) to avoid becoming sickened (–2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks) for 1 minute (10 rounds).

         Agitha, Rat-folk witch

Agitha gasps in surprise, even though she was expecting the attack. Why, she wondered, are all the animate plants so nasty? Even though Belyr is already protected by a charm, she doubles down and attempts to afflict the creature with a DC 14 Misfortune hex between twitters to maintain the fortune hex on Belyr..

"Oh, dear, Belyr could use some healing!"

"It was only a scratch, but it burns!" responds Belyr as he steps around to make room for his allies and fails to strike the plant with his scimitar. "I'll be fine, but watch yourselves!"

Mechanics

Belyr had 6 temporary HPs before the hit and only took 8 damage, so he's doing alright for now.

 

I'm assuming the attack left the plant within reach to attack it back. Belyr will use 5-ft steps to try and get into a flanking position, if possible. Without a map I'm not sure, so I will leave it up to the DM to manage, @Sandstar.

 

Ugh...natural 1 on the roll to hit...

Ashril Swiftstride, halfling ranger

Ashril moves up and takes advantage of his smaller size to squeeze past Belyr and attack the plant creature. Bill will move up behind Belyr and try to distract it while also keeping it pinned so that the softer folks behind him are not bothered directly.

 

Actions

Ashril moves to W-35, shoots his bow; creature will probably get an aoo

Bill moves to V-37,8, aids another to improve Belyr's AC

Combat, round 2

Ashril hustles along the rickety wooden bridge to reach the island and attack this new vegetable menace. As he attempts to slip past Belyr and regain solid footing, one of the spiny leaves reaches out from the water and attempts to grab his leg. It is unfortunately highly successful, and Ashril feels a burning sensation start around the painful bite, but manages to shrug it off. He recalls hearing about these creatures before: called kawa akago, they haunt lakes and ponds and attempt to drag victims down into the water with them. Their bite causes affected victims to try and immerse themselves in water to make the burning stop. Undeterred, Ashril fires an arrow at the thing from mere feet away; the arrow pierces one of the creature's leaves and disappears down into the dark depths of the pond.

Raph, hanging back, shifts into a defensive stance with his quarterstaff while attempting to recall potentially useful information about this kind of creature and, importantly, how to go about killing it. He recalls something about these creature being able to damage their foes by emitting a harmful wailing sound, but the details escape him for the moment

Belyr feels he has the measure of this creature and slashes down at it with his scimitar, but the strike misses badly with the blade briefly embedding itself in one of the support posts holding up the bridge.

Sensing an opening, the creature sends two fanged lilypad-like leaves up to grab the feet of first Belyr, then Ashril. It misses Belyr, but Ashril is once again hit with a painful bite. Thankfully, the effects of the poisonous bite once again fail to take hold. The creature then shifts slightly away from the island alongside the rickety wooden bridge.

Agitha hangs back and attempts to maintain one hex while casting another. She believes she was successful, but will have to wait and see what the creature does next before knowing for sure.

 

Combat information

Notes:

@DarkOne7141981 since we do not use 'Critical Fumble' rules (although happy to instigate this in future games!) no harm comes from Belyr's rolling a 1, just an amusing brief visual of him having to wrench his blade back out of the submerged wooden post.

Freese nodded, recalling a detail that he quickly yelled to the others about not letting the new monster scream at them. And then he decided that they could use a bit of reinforcement, since he would be next to useless in fighting in a swamp like this...

 

"Keep it occupied! I'm summoning help!" The young man shouted, and then he immediately went to work on casting a spell of conjuration.

 

Freese begins to cast Summon Monster 1- He will cause a Celestial Poison Frog to join the fight at the start of his next turn.

Combat, round 3

Ashril fires another arrow at the fanged lilypads, but this one misses, hitting the water and sinking to the depths without coming close to hitting the thing. Raph attempts to summon an ally combatant, and concentrates on that. Belyr strikes at the creature, but misses.
 

Agitha, cackling wildlly, by now strongly suspects that the creature is now under the effect of her Misfortune hex. The plant creature, meanwhile, changes its tactics. Instead of continuing to attack the creatures in front of it, it dives underneath the footbridge, provoking an attack of opportunity from Belyr, who is successful in chopping off one of its leaves.

It resurfaces on the other side of the bridge, between Bill and Agitha, then opens up the central maw and emits a blood-curdling scream that lingers in the ears of all that hear it. Bill is badly affected, blood starting to run down one ear, and shows signs of beginning to panic.

 

Combat information

Notes:

@miteke_mw, @Erico: Please roll a DC14 Fortitude save to mitigate the effects of the kawa akago's blood-curdling scream on yourselves and the gecko, which upon a fail, bestows 12 pts of sonic damage + causes deafness for 3 rounds to all who hear it within 20 ft of the kawa akago. If you save successfully, the damage is halved and the deafness duration is reduced to 1 round.

@sunshadow21, Bill failed his save, which means he is now deafened for 3 rounds and has just sustained a significant injury. Up to you how you wish to play his and Ashril's response to that?

         Agitha, Rat-folk witch

Agitha is severely pummeled by the sounds as is her untrustworthy mount which bolts.

"Oh oh!" she screams, as she is carried off 20' before she falls off the creature.

Unperturbed (well, only a little perturbed), she continues to cackle after standing up.
