19:11 <Kotono> The party swims out. Ahead is a deep chasm in the ground, like a canyon in the sea floor. It sinks lon gand deep within, but is surrounded. Buildings of rough seastone rise here, a collection of them scattered about, lining the sides of the chasm. It's dim but not truly dark here, the light distant but not all gone.
19:11 — Skaya examines the spread of the air bubble and how everyone is doing!
19:15 <Kotono> OOC: You have that out and deployed, then
19:15 <Kotono> ?
19:15 <Skaya> OOC: Sanda (air bottle handed to her)
19:15 → Kobot joined (~dunefar@AE753705.B18DCB09.B227C4EE.IP)
19:16 <Kotono> OOC: Okay.
19:17 <Kotono> The air bottle works. IT creates a bubble of air around Sanda, slowly expanding and stabilizing. The water on the edges of it glimmers like liquid metal, pushed back and held in place. It's not huge this deep down, but it's enough for Sanda and a few people around her if needed, at least right now.
19:21 <Skaya> "Looks good," Skaya says, testing the transmission of sounds within the air bubble, before waving Rina and Liza over. "On reflection, it would be safest to have you generally near Sanda," she tells them. "I can be the rearguard."
19:21 <Kotono> Meanwhile Anne swims a little ahead before, "I don't see anyone ahead," She announces, "At least right away, but visibility's poor. It's good territory for ambushes."
19:22 <Kotono> Rina gleefully gets near Sanda, who stays on the seafloor. Liza joins her, as deep fish scurry away from the air bubble, and strange, lichen like things on the ground wobble and twitch when water is pushed away from them.
19:22 <Kotono> "It's great territory for ambushes, and this'll make us stand out," Rina admits, her voice clearer and louder in air rather than gurgling in water. "Good for getting attention, though."
19:23 <Skaya> "Should we try to alter the situation, where it comes to these ambushes?" Skaya muses. "Anyone has a light cantrip to use on a seashell?"
19:24 <Devar> "Luminous Armor would also make me stand out, if we wanted to go that route." Devar says.
19:25 <Kotono> "If we're going to stand out, we may as well stand out all the way," Sanda points out, "Luminous armor makes you a big target, and you take hits well."
19:26 <Skaya> "Let's do that," Skaya concurs.
19:26 <Kotono> Anne peers ahead, in thought, "Honestly, as much as I dislike it, no. We're going to stand out here no matter what."
19:29 <Devar> Devar nods and will cast Luminous Armor on himself! OOC: That will add full daylight in 60 ft and dim light 60 ft past that.
19:30 <Kotono> LIght shines brightly, further illuminating the sea depths. Many of the fish and other seaborne life flees away, scurrying out of the brighter light.
19:31 <Kotono> "Wonder if some of them are sensitive to light. You don't get as much down here," Sanda asks aloud.
19:31 <Devar> "We'll find out." Devar says. "Do we just keep going from here?"
19:32 <Skaya> "We can start by taking a look at those buildings?"
19:33 <Devar> Devar nods and will start heading towards the closest one! He hopes he isn't causing bad fortune by being thankful there are no underewater ankhegs...
19:33 <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Devar, since you're on point, give me Perception. -2 penalty.
19:34 <Devar> OOC: Take 10 for 20
19:39 <Kotono> It's poor visibility past your light, and the water in general doesn't help. You don't see anyone immediately around as you approach the nearest buildings. It's several stone ones, short and squat. They're in decent condition, archway doors into each of them.  They're roughly circular and one has a sign of  a cup nailed to the door.
19:41 <Devar> Devar will swim up to the door and knock twice - or as best as one can when they're underwater.
19:42 <Kotono> There's no response-wait. Just as it stretches too long, the door cracks open. What looks to be a mermaid peeks out, just a glimpse of dark eyes. "Land dweller?" she says in confusion.
19:45 <Devar> "It's a long story." Devar explains with a smile. "We heard there were some... let's call them undersea bandits in the area." It's not technically a lie!
19:55 <Kotono> That gets a laugh, nothing but disbelief. "You do kno wwhere you are, don't you?"
19:57 <Skaya> "The Teardrop Trench, surely?"
19:58 <Devar> Devar nods to Skaya.
20:00 <Kotono> "Then you know enough," The woman says, "You'll be glowing, flashing signs of free loot to take from your corpses."
20:01 <Skaya> "But that's the thing, miss," Skaya pipes in with. "If someone decides to go for that, it just means they've decided to give their things to us."
20:06 <Kotono> "Confident," A dry comment back, "You'd best be careful, this place drags the confident down and never lets them go."
20:07 <Skaya> "But don't you sound pretty confident while talking to us?"
20:11 <Kotono> "I'm alive, aren't I?" A light counter back, "If you're set on battles, go into the trench."
20:12 <Skaya> "Thanks! We'll be sure to stop by after for a drink!" Skaya peers at the door behind her. "It's an inn, right?"
20:16 <Kotono> "Yes," She says, "When it's safe to open."
20:16 <Devar> "We'll come back with some good news then." Devar promises.
20:20 <Kotono> With that the door closes. Once it does, "Guarded, isn't she?" Rina remarks.
20:20 <Kotono> "Scared is what she is," Anne counters, "She knows danger well."
20:23 <Skaya> "Let's see if we can make the locals a bit less scared?"
20:24 <Kotono> "Good plan," Sanda agrees, as...OOC: Where are you going now then?
20:24 <Skaya> OOC: Let's go into the trench! If we can't tell where it is, let's get a bit of altitude and see if we can't tell where the surface is headed down?
20:30 <Kotono> OOC: Sure thing. Perceptiona gain, Devar, since yo8u're leading this motley crew.
20:38 mode: •Kotono (+q Kotono, opped) 
20:39 <Devar> OOC: Take 10 for 22 if I don't have the minus this time!
20:48 <•Kotono> You swim on. You go towards the trench, above a few more building. It's not easy, but Devar's eyes are able to spy something moving beneath one, sneaking out of one building. A few figures, lost in shadows but scurrying away.
20:49 <Devar> "We've got some people running - maybe trying to warn their leaders?" Devar speaks up, gesturing in that direction.
20:49 <Skaya> "Let's see if we can follow?"
20:50 <Devar> Devar nods and will continue on, angling to go in the same direction!
20:54 <•Kotono> They're heading perpendicular to the trench, making good time. None look up your way, but a glowing thing from above can't be that hard to miss.
20:55 <Devar> Devar just continues along! If they get ambushed, well, that was to be expected!
20:59 <•Kotono> At a distance, you get a better look at them. Three figures, humanoids. Elven maybe, but at this distance and light it's hard to tell. Blue-green skin, swimming fast. Each carries what looks to be a long spear and is dressed lightly. They soon reach another building, a larger one with two stories. They head right in quickly.
21:00 <Devar> "Shall we go in and greet them?" Devar asks.
21:02 <Skaya> "Let's!"
21:03 <Devar> Devar will start swimming that way!
21:12 <•Kotono> "Careful," Anne murmurs as you swim down. No resistance, no ambush, just a closed door. How do you wan tto approach this? The door's amde of the same stone of the rest of the building, strong and sturdy looking.
21:13 <Devar> "You think they'll answer if I knock?" Devar asks as he reaches the door.
21:15 <Skaya> "Sure!"
21:15 <Devar> He walks up and will knock on the door! Well, more like hit it with the side of his fist since it's stone.
21:20 <•Kotono> It's hard to do underwater, but Devar manages to get a good slam sound. Silence follows, not a sound.
21:22 — Skaya looks for any windows to peer into!
21:27 <•Kotono> Liza's already doing that, and there are windows. It's dark inside, and you see a small room. No one in there, but some supplies are stacked up, including a rack of long spears and tridents.
21:28 <Skaya> On the one hand, it's not illegal to hold a stash of spears. On the other, little is illegal here in an enforceable way! Skaya decides to see if they can make their way inside through that window!
21:29 <Skaya> OOC: Is it the correct size for it? It's not a solid pane of glass but is locked and can be forced open?
21:29 <Skaya> OOC: If all are yes, then I'll take 10 for disable device for 28
21:31 <•Kotono> OOC: It's an open window underwater. You could swim in with some wiggling.
21:31 — Skaya wiggles her way inside!
21:31 <Skaya> OOC: Escape Artist 10 for 34!
21:35 → Iddy joined (uid408070@lunarnet-423F0355.irccloud.com)
21:35 <•Kotono> Done and done. You're in the room. There's that rack of weapons, and out of sight against a far wall you also spy an old, barnacle and algae covered steel and wood chest, closed tight.
21:37 — Skaya heads further inside to explore! Devar should be drawing attention to himself with that glowing armor, while she can sneak indoors and see what these guys are doing here.
21:40 <•Kotono> OOC: Let me move you into #evil then, Devar. More.
21:40 <Devar> "They don't seem too keen on answering." Devar says. "Well, we have some ways around that." He does try one more time to hit the door. "Hello? Anyone in there who feels like answering?"
21:41 <•Kotono> There's a single door that leads further within for Skaya. Not much in the way of choices here, but it is closed.
21:41 <•Kotono> OOC: Paste that line in #evil, DevAR?
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Corwin

21:42 — Skaya opens the door! After listening by it for a bit to make sure there's no one immediately on the other end!
21:42 <Skaya> OOC: Disable Device 28, and Perception 30
21:48 <•Kotono> ! Skaya swears she hears something on the other side like water moving. Movement?
21:49 — Skaya waits! Perhaps someone is about to open this door and save her the trouble!
21:56 <•Kotono> Nothing like that, unfortunately.
21:57 — Skaya goes ahead with opening the door, then!
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Corwin

21:43 <Devar> "They don't seem too keen on answering." Devar says. "Well, we have some ways around that." He does try one more time to hit the door. "Hello? Anyone in there who feels like answering?"
21:45 <•Kotono> Anne stays close, "Of course not. I have little doubt they're cautious at best."
21:45 <•Kotono> Sanda murmurs, "That or they think we're banditry."
21:47 <Devar> "I mean, in theory, we are, but if we debate the ethics of being an adventurer we'll be here all day." Devar says. "You'd think we'd at least get a warning to leave or something classic, like 'who dares approach the terror of the seas!?' sort of thing." He does try just opening the door, but is guessing it's barred or something similar on the other side.
21:49 <•Kotono> It is indeed, it doesn't open. "Which is why if in doubt, I rather we leave them. They've shown no hostility," Anne points out.
21:50 <Devar> "I do understand where you're coming from." Devar says. "If there's been some sort of extreme misunderstanding and these are the locals who try to drive the bandits out, then we'll have to apologize to them and provide them aid. But do you really think that's the case?"
21:56 <•Kotono> "Probably not, but it's far from impossible," Anne says, "And best to be cautious rather than aggressive."
21:56 <•Kotono> "That is you," Sanda murmurs, waiting and listening.
21:58 <Devar> "If that were the case, you'd think someone would've come out by now." Devar says. "I'm just going to go in and open the way."
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Corwin

18:45 <Kotono> "You would think," Rina agrees, gesturing. "Go ahead."
18:47 <Devar> Devar activates his swimstone ability and will walk right through - he's curious if anyone's just standing there waiting!
18:53 → Kobot joined 
18:56 <Kotono> OOC: One sec, since coordination matters here.
18:56 <Kotono> OOC: In fact, #dunes.
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Corwin

18:44 <Kotono> The door opens to a short hallway. You don't see anyone here, but there's a few doors here, as well as a passage into a larger room at the far end.
18:49 — Skaya sneaks up to the larger room to peek!
18:52 <Kotono> OOC: Perception, 02 penalty. That's -2 and let me get Kobot.
18:53 → Kobot joined (~dunefar@108985F9.13257001.C00DC4F4.IP)
18:53 <Kobot> OOC: There we go, typos suck.
18:53 <Skaya> roll 1d20+18
18:53 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+18 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{36}
18:57 <Kotono> Skaya hears something behind her. Subtle, The slosh of water. At the same time, she advances into the next room. A peek ahead, a central room. No one's in here, except Devar stepping through the front door.
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Corwin

18:59 <Skaya> Pretending she didn't notice anything, she asks Devar telepathically, 'Is there anything behind me? There's this persistent sound of water.'
19:00 <Devar> Devar will look behind Skaya as he comes in!
19:01 <Kotono> It looks like a greenish skinned elf, a short spear in hand. He's moving with admirable stealth, right for Skaya's back.
19:02 <Devar> 'Yes, you've got an elf about to stab you.' He returns to her.
19:03 <Skaya> Is she at fault here? Skaya decides to suddenly pick up speed, dashing behind Devar!
19:07 <Kotono> It's good speed, because a moment later with a cry of, "Yaaah!" A stab comes at where Skaya's back was. She's safe if not by much, saved from the worst fate. The elf bristles as he prepares for a nother strike, "Get out!" OOC: INit, you two have a problem.
19:07 <Kotono> roll 1d20+2 aquatic elf
19:07 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+2 aquatic elf --> [ 1d20=8 ]{10}
19:08 <Skaya> "Okay!" Skaya agrees, leaving!
19:08 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
19:08 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=11 ]{24}
19:08 <Devar> roll 1d20+3 Devar is very fast
19:08 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+3 Devar is very fast --> [ 1d20=2 ]{5}
19:12 <Kotono> OOC Go Skaya, since you reaction matters lots here.
19:12 <Kotono> Init is Skaya (24) > Elf (10)> Devar (5)
19:12 — Skaya gets outside! While unlikely, perhaps this was a misunderstanding? And she doesn't want to kill the host of a house she broke into if all he wants is for her to leave.
19:15 <Kotono> The door is thrown open and Skay aswims out. The elf lets out a cry, brandishing his spear all the wild. OOC: Devar, go.
19:18 <Devar> Devar will follow suit with Skaya. "Are you part of the bandit gang?" Devar asks. It isn't exactly the best time for this question...
19:19 <Kotono> "Get out!" A cry of concern, as Anne and Sanda join the two of you, Rina and LIza at the ready. "Intruders!"
19:21 — Skaya will rely on Devar for this. After all, on the off chance this was a mistake Devar would have a better standing than her.
19:22 <Devar> "I won't deny that part, but your friends ought to not be so suspicious and come running in here." Devar replies, making no particular movements to fight. "We're not here to rob anyone, except deal with the bandits in the area."
19:23 <Kotono> "Go on down into the trench," Is the call, guarded, "ANd leave us be!"
19:24 <Devar> "Can do, sorry for the misunderstanding." He says.
19:27 <Kotono> Anne backs away slowly, followed by the others.
19:27 <Kotono> "Go," A single curt word.
19:28 <Devar> Devar will wait for the others to go and pull up the rear, hands up to indicate no violence is intended.
19:28 — Skaya waits outside with a sigh.
19:29 <Kotono> Once the party has pulled back, the elf swims forward and shuts the door. Once that's done, "Well then," Anne murmurs, "Thank you for your cautiou, Skaya. A bluff or not, you acted wisely to withdraw."
19:30 <Skaya> "On the off chance we're in the wrong and all," Skaya responds with another sigh. "Let's just go straight for the trench?"
19:35 <Kotono> "If it's a bluff, it's a canny one," Liza eyes the door, "Smart enough to make a good on sympathy or to learn if we're brigands ourselves."
19:35 <Devar> "If they turn out to be the ones we're after, we can just come back." Devar says.
19:36 <Kotono> "We know where they live," Sanda glurgles.
19:36 <Kotono> "Now you sound ominous," Rina retorts, "We know where they live."
19:40 <Devar> Devar nods and will start swimming towards the trench itself.
19:41 <Skaya> "You're in the right environment for it, too!" Skaya tells Sanda admiringly.
19:42 <Kotono> Sanda smiles more, "Oh, just wait." she promises Rina, as all of you swim towards the trench. OOC: Give me a d100, one of you. Doesn't matter which of you.
19:42 <Skaya> roll 1d100
19:42 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=66 ]{66}
19:52 <Kotono> The party doesn't go far before you see something emerging in the distant depths. It looks to be a trio of shark riders, massively large white shark rising up. On each of them is a fish-man, clad in scaled green armor and with tridents at the ready. Dangling from the sides of the sharks are heads of various creatures, a few dozen on each. They're about 200ft away from the party as of now.
19:54 <Skaya> "If you're using a head to adorn your shark it's okay to attack you, right?!"
19:54 <Devar> Devar wishes he had Storm's Eye on hand right now, but will just have to make due without him!
19:55 <Kotono> There's no direct answer, but one points the party's way and at that, the three shark riders start to approach fast. You miiight have a problem here.
19:55 <Devar> OOC: Do I have time for a swift action?
19:56 <Kotono> OOC: If it's anything combatty, I'll call for init instead.
19:56 <Devar> OOC: Hokie
19:57 <Devar> roll 1d20+3 devar is still very fast
19:57 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+3 devar is still very fast --> [ 1d20=13 ]{16}
19:57 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13
19:57 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 --> [ 1d20=15 ]{28}
19:57 <Kotono> OOC: I'll take that as a yes, it is something combatty. Alrighty then.

20:00 <Kotono> OOC: Go Skaya.
20:01 — Skaya intends to wait and allow the shark riders to draw closer! She'll interrupt in case of an obvious attack being launched!
20:02 <Kotono> One of the sharks moves fast, closing a little over half the distance and getting closer fast. OOC: 120ft moved, 80ft away. Rina and Liza, then Anne and Sanda.
20:08 <Kotono> Right now there's a comfortable sphere of air around the party. It seems to be stabilizing for now at a 15ft radius. Rina meanwhile stays at the ready, sword prepared. Liza does the same, while Anne grimaces and takes a long breath. Sanda stares them down, "I'll smash you," she warns, staff brandished.
20:09 <Skaya> Sanda should really trash-talk their enemies more! Skaya can't believe she overlooked all that potential before!
20:14 <Kotono> OOC: Go Devar.
20:16 <Devar> Since they've got a moment, Devar gestures and reinforces Skaya's armor, before he takes point in front of the others and readies Goldenfang! OOC: Mage Armor for Skaya, +8 AC.
20:16 <Skaya> "Thanks!"
20:22 <Kotono> Armor surrounds Skaya, bolstering her defneses further. The other two shark riders come closer as well, as...OOC: Skaya, go.
20:24 — Skaya holds her place! Just glowing, now.
20:27 <Kotono> Glowing bright, the shark rider pulls up here. From a distance the party is stared down, the air bubble and visible magic enough to give them pause. At least, the second one doesn't advance further at that, holding a hand up and making a sweeping gesture back at the other two. OOC: Rina and the others, they'll hold because no one's entirely sure what's happening here. Devar, go.
20:29 <Devar> "They not used to fighting people who can fight back?" Devar asks. He stands in front of the others and goes on the defense! OOC: Total defense for whatever it matters for now.
20:31 <Kotono> The second stalls as well but the third? He withdraws a long, crooked looking staff of stone. It's pointed at Skaya, and then-! OOC: Fort save, Skaya.

20:53 <Skaya> OOC: I miscalculated it originally, but I'll activate Travel Devotion to actually make it.
20:53 <Kotono> OOC: Fair enough.Are you hitting the shark itself or ther ider?

21:04 <Kotono> Wham! Skaya flies in, dodges a snap of shark teeth, and punches the shark rider right in the face. He's knocked reeling fromthe blow, heavy enough to stun him. He wobbles where he is in the water, out of it before the third rider turns. He manages a swoop around, shark coming to try and bite Skaya into two!
21:04 <Kotono> roll 1d20+22
21:04 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+22 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{29}
21:05 <Skaya> OOC: AC still 35
21:05 <Kotono> Yet Skaya's still too fast, but now flanked by a hungry, hungry shark. The rider at the same time clings on tight, barkign something in a language Skaya doesn't know. OOC: Rina and friends. Okay.
21:05 <Skaya> "You want some of that too?!"
21:06 — Skaya responds in Ignan, since it seems like the thing to do.
21:06 <Kotono> OOC: While I work this out, prep your action, Devar. Anne's going to hold since she's on fix up Skaya the next several seconds in case this goes wrong duty. That leaves Rina, Liza and Sanda.
21:06 <Devar> OOC: Yar
21:11 <Kotono> Rina holds the backline, the water simply not the right terrain for her. On Anne guarding duty, in other words. Sanda meanwhile chants, then points right at the injured rider, "Shut up." Magic missiles come, the old standby flying true.
21:11 <Kotono> roll 4d4+4
21:11 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d4+4 --> [ 4d4=9 ]{13}
21:11 <Kotono> Missiles magically massacre the shark rider, magical missiles mashing into his face and chest. He's knocked backwards and wobbles, already off balance from Skaya's attack. That gives Liza a chance to...OOC: Go Devar, working out the angles of Liza's action.
21:14 <Devar> Devar can't get where Skaya is yet, but will at least try and make himself another target, swimming towards her! OOC: double move, getting 60 ft.
21:17 <Kotono> Devar swims in as Liza fiddles around, ultimately gesturing before, "Likewise, magic missile!" she cries, blasting away at the same rider.
21:18 <Kotono> roll 4d4+4
21:18 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d4+4 --> [ 4d4=11 ]{15}
21:20 <Kotono> More missiles hit that rider, and this time he arches back and collapses, before starting to float upwards. No resistance from that one,b ut the shark's still there. That shark snarls and snaps at Skaya, as the third closes the distance with Devar, charging him dead on.
21:21 <Kotono> roll 1d20+21 Skayashark bites despite no more rider, well trained or just hungry
21:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+21 Skayashark bites despite no more rider, well trained or just hungry --> [ 1d20=2 ]{23}

21:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+24 (+2 charge) Devar chomp --> [ 1d20=20 ]{44}
21:21 <Kotono> roll 1d20+24 (+2 charge) Devar chomp crit?
21:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+24 (+2 charge) Devar chomp crit? --> [ 1d20=3 ]{27}
21:21 <Devar> OOC: AC is 32 so no crit at least
21:21 <Kotono> roll 2d12+16+1d6 and Ref save
21:21 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 2d12+16+1d6 and Ref save --> [ 2d12=15 1d6=2 ]{33}
21:22 <Devar> OOC: They also have to make a DC 24 will save or be dazzled
21:22 <Kotono> roll 1d20+12
21:22 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+12 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{22}
21:22 <Kotono> OOC: Dazzled.

21:24 <•Kotono> CHOMP! While Skaya dodges again, Devar isn't so lucky, a chomp right at his arm. It's only raw speed that saves him, but he has to dodge across its maw. It instead chomps his side, tearing away flesh but keeping his very important arm from becoming shark food. That it seems disoriented from the bite doesn't help much in the here nad now. OOC: Skaya.
21:24 <Skaya> Since the shark continues to attack her, Skaya retaliates!
21:24 <•Kotono> "Surrender," A hiss of Common from the one on Devar, a single mangled word.
21:24 <Skaya> roll 1d20+13 haste
21:24 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 1d20+13 haste --> [ 1d20=4 ]{17}

21:25 <•Kotono> OOC: One hit.
21:25 <Skaya> roll 3d6+5+1d8
21:25 <Kobot> Skaya rolled 3d6+5+1d8 --> [ 3d6=12 1d8=2 ]{19}
21:30 <•Kotono> This time the shark gets a punch. It doesn't seem to deter it, even if you smash its...snout? Whatever its face is. You hit that good and hard, blood flowing from it. Not that it stops another attack, the two locked into a struggle in the deep, dark waters.
21:30 <•Kotono> roll 1d20+22
21:30 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+22 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{39}

21:37 <•Kotono> Skaya gets her arm chomped. Not too deeply, she's able to pull it free, but she's bit good. It hurts something fierce, blood staining the water red as...OOC: I'll be one moment wrangling this out, so if you wan tto go now, you're free to, Devar.
21:38 <Devar> This isn't exactly the best situation to be in, but it seems like dealing with the shark is going to be the more pressing concern, so he brandishes Goldenfang and takes two swings!
21:38 <Devar> roll 1d20+13 bam
21:38 <Kobot> Devar rolled 1d20+13 bam --> [ 1d20=10 ]{23}
21:38 <Devar> roll 1d20+8 pow

21:40 <Kobot> Devar rolled 2#1d8+5 --> [ 1d8=5 ]{10}, [ 1d8=4 ]{9}
21:42 <•Kotono> Two swings draw blood, both scoring the large shark's body. At least it's not only his blood in the water now, as...OOC: Liza holds until alst. Anne.
21:42 <•Kotono> Anne swims forward, getting closer, though not healing yet. Rina stays with her, keeping pace. OOC: Anne does some necessary movement. Sanda.
21:43 <•Kotono> Sanda points at the shark assailing Skaya, the riderless one, and chants, "The wrath of Mystra, strike! Magic Missiles!"
21:43 <•Kotono> roll 4d4+4 why ruin a good thing?
21:43 <Kobot> Kotono rolled 4d4+4 why ruin a good thing? --> [ 4d4=11 ]{15}
21:49 <•Kotono> The missiles fly straight and true, hitting the shark again. It doesn't stop it, but Skaya does see it flinch back. Hits, sure enough. Hits that get Liza to do something...next time! OOC: We started early so this is about good, we'll resume here Thursday. Try not to die, you're doing an okay job at that so far.
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake
