Temporal pixies

<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 66 > [d20=1]

There's a moment of disorientation.

You stand in a sea cave, the scent of the sea strong here. Water drips down everywhere, enough to make it like it's raining.

Not that you have time to appreciate that. Swimming through the air, 70ft away and closing, is a pair of what looks to be giant squids. Krakens. They are a deep blue color and coming straight at you, as if the air was water they could swim through.

[Nephrite]

Sanzha's shown her mettle so far, but it isn't fair to force that responsibility on her all the time.

He didn't really stave off the last one until they roughed it up, but...

Know that should you challenge us, you face a pantheon of divinity.

It'll either work or it won't!

[Anastasia]

They don't stop.

"More that don't know better," Cresiel says, sword readied, "We'll see to their education."

[Nephrite]

Moore prepares to fight!

I assume init, so everyone gets +18 as a reminder.

[14:04] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+7+18 Jetina
[14:04] <Penuche2> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 39 > [d20=14]
[14:04] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+56 Moore
[14:04] <Penuche2> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 75 > [d20=19]

Assuming Moore gets to open here:

Standard to cast Harmonize, CL34 (34m), to let him cast Bardic music with a move action.

He will refresh Courage and Heroics on everyone.

+22 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +22 morale bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls
+18 morale bonus to saves and +18 dodge to AC

That is his turn.

I'm going to resume you tonight as we talked about in PM.

[Nephrite]

so noted, just posting this so it's up.

[Anastasia]

Sylvie streaks ahead, twin tendrils coming out for her as she races in to intercept them.

There's not much point to letting them come to the party thanks to their likely reach, so she'll bite the bullet and see how bad the AoO game is.

> roll 1d20+71
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 85 > [d20=14]
> roll 1d20+71
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 81 > [d20=10]

Bad, but she's better.

> roll 1d20+88 (+10 Sanzha, +22 Moore, +2 charge)
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 106 > [d20=18]
> roll 5d10+89 (1 inspiration spent)
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 120 > [d10=5,6,8,9,3]

Sylvie dodges tentacles left and right as she plunges into the closer one, slamming into its body with one heavy shot. A testing blow that firmly strikes it, all as Sanzha joins her a moment later, trident out.

> roll 1d20+71
> roll 1d20+71
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 78 > [d20=7]
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 82 > [d20=11]

Misses.

> roll 1d8+120
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 125 > [d8=5]

The exchange bloodies the other kraken, both checked by far smaller creatures with fist and trident. The charge ahead is stopped, at least for the moment.

Cresiel and Jetina. Go ahead and go with Jetina so I can segment this effectively.

Jetina's not got much to do yet, so she'll hold pending something nasty.

[Anastasia]

Cresiel holds for the moment in case of shenanigans, he's fine being a defensive line. Krakens.

The krakens whirla round, tentacles and tendrils becoming blades, a swirl around both Sylvie and Sanzha that engulfs them.

Refx2. Sylvie has evasion and can't fail the save, nor can Sanzha. Moore power, apparently.

242 total, halved to 121 and then damage reduction 25 applies twice. 71 damage to Sanzha.

The blades slash and swirl as both guard and dodge, locked in a dance with them as...

Moore.

He really needs some kind of resource-less free attack...

He'll just hold since these don't seem to be doing anything extremely dangerous.

What happens next is bloodshed - Sylvie with cool and precise movements counters each tentacle and pulls. One after another is ripped away, the kraken letting out a bird-like screech of pain with each one. She uses each one to pull herself in closer to the body, and when she reaches it, the mangled kraken is grabbed, lifted up and slammed to the ground. A wet splat results from this, the remnants of the kraken merely lying there after.

"Idiot," Sylvie says, "You had no idea."

Lady Sanzha merely gazes on at the other kraken and...

> roll 1d20+65
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 83 > [d20=18]

...as it breaks back in fear? Stay.

A single word command and it freezes.

Free act. This was not too hard an encounter.

[Nephrite]

Do you understand us?

He may start there!

[Anastasia]

You get no words, but a sense of shock and fear instead.
