Chapter 1: Something in the Water

May 17, 2024 11:37 am

Sea Serpent

Aurora's arrow seems wobbly at first but flies true in the end. The serpent reals and looks at the boat, testing its throat. Feeling the chill come back, it knows it can breathe once more on those on the boat. However, it takes a look at Omeros, the one who has harmed it the most, and decides instead to attempt to pull him off the boat with his tail. With this success, it then moves away from the boat and begins to dive underwater, Omeros in tow. As soon as they get underwater, the serpent attempts to bite his newly restrained snack.

As this occurs, the portside (south) serpent attempts to bite Kelnes with a legendary action.

OOC:

Summary:
Omeros is now restrained and taken underwater, taking 50 damage (21 bludgeoning and 28 piercing and 1 cold) in the process.
Kelness takes 23 damage (24, but 2 of it is cold so 23)

Kelnes & Isaiah & Chironides are now up. The serpents are about 30 feet underwater and the boat is about 20 feet high, so anyone standing at the edge is about 50-60 feet from them. As such, they have resistance to fire right now and any ranged weapon attack probably has disadvantage. if you feel you have no actions, you can start loading a cannon so it will take less to fire when they come back up.

For those restrained by the serpent, despite the fact you are likely out of reach you may still attack the serpent at disadvantage, as while RAW it is out of reach unless you have a 15 foot reach, part of its body is around you and that would be in reach. Just remember to replace 1d20 with 2d20L1

As you are fighting, the captain yells, "There is a crate by the mast with potions of water breathing. It won't help you swim, but if you are brave enough to go in after your friends I suggest drinking one first. I didn't mention it as we normally save them for underwater exploration for treasure."

Sea Serpent

With a combination of slams and stabs from the water elemental and Kelnes, the portside (south) serpent releases a gush of blood as the trident is yanked from its body. It releases Kelnes and begins sinking to the bottom of the ocean, leaving a trail of blood in the water as it does.

The other serpent with Omeros takes a legendary action to attempt to bite its presumed meal.

OOC:

Summary:
Serpent 2 is dead
Serpent 1 dealt 21 piercing damage and 3 cold damage to Omeros

Omeros & Kadmos & Aurora are now up. Aurora can now go alongside Omeros and Kadmos since Serpent 2 is dead

with the serpent down could i then take my movent to try and start swimming underneath the boat to the next serpent 1 30ft?

DM

OOC:

Sure, that is fine. I've updated the map. I am making any underwater token blue, not just the serpents, so we know you are under the boat and not on the deck

Slain by a sea serpent, Omeros thought as the blue ocean faded to black, not a bad way to go.

OOC:

The Serpent isn't far from dead. If the party can kill it and give you at least 1 hp before 2 more failed death saves, you'll live, though that's a lot of healing needed for future fights

Aurora

Sea Serpent

The sea serpent considers going back above for someone else to drag overboard, but sees Kelnes swimming towards him. Seeing that it would be safe from those up top by being under the boat, the serpent lets go of Omeros and swims over to Kelnes, attempting to constrict and bite him.

OOC:

Summary:
Kelnes is restrained and takes 25 bludgeoning damage from constrict, 26 piercing damage from the bite, and 12 cold damage from the bite (halved to 6 from resistance)

Kelnes & Isaiah & Chironides are all up. The serpent and Kelnes are both under the boat.

OOC:

Kelnes kills the serpent with the first attack of his turn, due to the damage of the reaction attack. No smites needed

Kelnes skewers the serpent as it tries to construct tighter. As he pulls it out, the wound is revealed to be so deep that the serpent screams (as best it can underwater), lets go of Kelnes, and begin sinking to the ocean floor.

OOC:

I am going to assume a few people's actions as I think they are reasonable.

Kelnes them swims to Omeros, throws him over his shoulder, and swims back to the boat, where heroes and crew help pull both back aboard. There is enough time for someone to heal him before he dies.

OOC:

What will be used to heal him? Lay on hands? Spell? Potion? Go ahead and roleplay how everyone reacts to the battle being over. You all get a heroic rest, so you can heal with as many hit dice as you want, and any ability that comes back on a short rest you get 1 use of it back.

May 20, 2024 7:47 pm

Kelnes swims down to Omeros and catches him as he is sinking.

Not today friend. Kelnes declares as he uses Lay on hands to heal back 2hp to Omeros on their way up to the ship

May 20, 2024 7:50 pm

OOC:

Do I still take that damage if I get him on the reaction attack?
