DAI's stones crash into the creature, cracking up most of its carapace.

Crawlers #1, 2, and 5 continue to gurgle peacefully.

#3 steps across from #4, and sets itself back to incapacitating JAGA, but fails to do so.
09:26, Today: teslas rolled 1 using 1d6. bite acid damage.
09:26, Today: teslas rolled 3 using 1d4+1. bite physical damage.
09:26, Today: teslas rolled 15 using 1d20+3. #3 bite vs. JAGA.
09:26, Today: teslas rolled 28 using 1d20+8. Fortitude.
09:25, Today: teslas rolled 3 using 1d3. 4/4 damage.
09:25, Today: teslas rolled 26 using 1d20+9. 4/4.
09:25, Today: teslas rolled 13 using 1d20+9. 3/4.
09:25, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 28 using 1d20+8. Fortitude.
09:25, Today: teslas rolled 2 using 1d3. 2/4 acid damage.
09:25, Today: teslas rolled 20 using 1d20+9. 2/4.
09:25, Today: teslas rolled 12 using 1d20+9. #3 flank tentacle vs. JAGA 1/4.
09:24, Today: teslas rolled 16 using 1d20+7. #3 tentacle vs. JAGA 1/4.
JAGA suffers a couple tentacle slaps, a light laceration, and some chemical burns, but isn't much worse for wear.

#4 turns one eye to DAI, pauses for a moment, then begins to whip at JAGA.
09:31, Today: teslas rolled 6 using 1d6. acid damage.
09:31, Today: teslas rolled 5 using 1d4+1. #4 bite physical damage.
09:30, Today: teslas rolled 17 using 1d20+3. #4 bite vs. JAGA.
09:30, Today: teslas rolled 10 using 1d20+9. 4/4.
09:30, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 21 using 1d20+8. Fortitude.
09:30, Today: teslas rolled 1 using 1d3. 3/4 damage.
09:30, Today: teslas rolled 26 using 1d20+9. 3/4.
09:29, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 21 using 1d20+8. Fortitude.
09:29, Today: teslas rolled 3 using 1d3. 2/4 damage.
09:29, Today: teslas rolled 25 using 1d20+9. 2/4.
09:29, Today: teslas rolled 14 using 1d20+9. #4 flank tentacle vs. JAGA 1/4.
Again, JAGA is whipped, stung, and bitten, but retains his ability to move despite showing visible injury after the second flailing. #4 takes a step toward DAI afterward.

The fact that it's moving closer toward what's hurting it and spoiling its own as well as #3's flanking advantage hints that these things are probably dumb as shit. If you, the player, did not notice this, your characters would have (except maybe Garus, who is busy looking at the rock floor extremely close up. Gotta RP out that Profession (geologist) he's taking ranks in next level).

#6 comes running back toward the fray nearly as quickly as it left.

MILO withdraws from the two crawlers, again abandoning JAGA to remain by his master's side. He sniffs at #5 apprehensively, before setting his sights on the less-armored underbelly and eye stalks.
SILI can tell he's getting ready to attempt to rip this thing's throat out, or bite out its eyes.

21: MILO
21: SILI

Sili doesn't want #6 to rejoin the fight, so he plays it to sleep.

10:54, Today: SILI rolled 35 using 1d20+16 with rolls of 19. Perform (Harp, Lullaby).

35/3=11, caster level 11, 6th level song, Will Save DC 19 or it falls into a deep slumber and can't be awoken by the Aid Another action or a creature approaching it.

The eye stalks on #6 droop much like the other few that are sleeping.

19: JAGA

Throwing caution to the wind in the hopes of getting away, Jaga stands up and tries to move away.


If Jaga doesn't get paralyzed by the AoOs, he will try to roll 25 feet east.

21:19, Today: JAGA rolled 25 using 1d20+14. Tumble check.

JAGA is immediately slapped twice when he attempts to stand, once the back and the other an especially sensitive sting across the neck.
20:32, Today: teslas rolled 5 using 2d4. same.
20:32, Today: teslas rolled 6 using 2d4. paralyzation duration (longer of two).
20:32, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 9 using 1d20+8. Fortitude.
20:31, Today: teslas rolled 1 using 1d3. acid damage.
20:31, Today: teslas rolled 24 using 1d20+7. #4 tentacle AoO vs. JAGA.
20:31, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 12 using 1d20+8. Fortitude.
20:31, Today: teslas rolled 3 using 2d3. critical acid damage.
20:30, Today: teslas rolled 16 using 1d20+7. crit confirm.
20:30, Today: teslas rolled 27 using 1d20+7. #3 tentacle AoO vs. JAGA.
It's posted backwards, mind you.
He flops back onto the ground, unmoving, and eyes wide open.

Pausing here to see if ZEIG wants to use Benediction.

ZEIG, seeing his two allies that are most useful for bashing hordes of critters to death incapacitated on the ground, lets loose Benediction.
22:01, Today: teslas, on behalf of ZEIG, rolled 26 using 5d10. correct Benediction.
Most of JAGA's wounds and all of Garus's close. They regain their ability to move as well.

JAGA, you have used only a Move action, and remain prone.

19: JAGA

"This really sucks"

In an attempt the keep the creatures away from the others, Jaga lashes out to try and trip one of the creatures.



09:24, Today: JAGA rolled 23 using 1d20+7. Touch attack to trip #4.
09:25, Today: JAGA rolled 12 using 1d20+9. Trip roll to trip #4.

09:27, Today: JAGA rolled 15 using 1d20+7. Trip attack from Improved Trip #4.
09:28, Today: JAGA rolled 15 using 3d6+5. Trip Attack Damage.

Im just rolling like crap when it counts most.

The crawler watches as JAGA tries to sweep its... two long rows of spines.

Zeig tries to scare off another worm, gesturing towards #3, remaining where he is.
Fear, CL 7, Will DC 15 or frightened, shaken if saves
+4 to save for every HD above 7, -1 to save for every 2 HD under 7
MP: 47/67

#3's eye stalks retract and then resume their fixed look upon JAGA.

Taking Garus's turn to the best of my ability as instructed.
The half-giant stands and books it over to the west of all of his less-armored party members.

DAI decides to not let a good thing go to waste, sending yet another magically propelled stone aiming to kill the wounded looking Crawler nearby, while getting closer to his allies and the much less threatening sleeping Crawlers.

Standard: Cast Stone
Move: 5ft NE, 25ft E(next to MILO and SILI)

19:54, Today: DAI rolled 8 using 1d20+6. Stone(RTA)(PBS) vs 4.
MP 28/67

For the first time of the day, one of DAI's spells misses its mark.

#1, 2, 5, and 6 continue to doze.

Undaunted, #3 continues to try to beat JAGA back to sleep after stepping away from Garus's bright shield.
22:16, Today: teslas rolled 10 using 1d20+3. #3 flank bite vs. JAGA.
22:14, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 22 using 1d20+8. Fortitude.
22:14, Today: teslas rolled 3 using 1d3. 4/4 acid damage.
22:14, Today: teslas rolled 27 using 1d20+9. 4/4.
22:14, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 18 using 1d20+8. Fortitude.
22:13, Today: teslas rolled 2 using 2d3. 3/4 critical acid damage.
22:13, Today: teslas rolled 28 using 1d20+9. crit confirm.
22:13, Today: teslas rolled 29 using 1d20+9. 3/4.
22:13, Today: teslas rolled 13 using 1d20+9. 2/4.
22:13, Today: teslas rolled 11 using 1d20+9. #9 flank tentacle vs. JAGA 1/4.
It fails once again.

#4 also steps away from Garus's shield and attempts to lay into JAGA once again.
22:22, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 22 using 1d20+8. 3/3.
22:21, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 20 using 1d20+8. 2/3.
22:21, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 22 using 1d20+8. Fortitude 1/3.
22:21, Today: teslas rolled 1 using 1d6. bite acid.
22:21, Today: teslas rolled 3 using 1d4+1. bite physical.
22:21, Today: teslas rolled 5 using 3d3. 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 acid.
22:20, Today: teslas rolled 21 using 1d20+1. #4 bite vs. JAGA.
22:20, Today: teslas rolled 17 using 1d20+7. 4/4.
22:20, Today: teslas rolled 26 using 1d20+7. 3/4.
22:20, Today: teslas rolled 24 using 1d20+7. 2/4.
22:20, Today: teslas rolled 13 using 1d20+7. #4 tentacle vs. JAGA 1/4.
Despite landing most of its blows, JAGA retains his ability to move.
Maybe you are developing a damn resistance after having so much of the damn toxin in your damn blood.

MILO gets down on his forelegs and puts his mouth around the softest part of crawler #5's underbelly, then grips and yanks as hard as he can.
22:25, Today: teslas, on behalf of SILI, rolled 13 using 2d6+6. MILO Fatigued CDG vs. #5.
A huge hole is torn underneath it, with some sort of internal tube or duct of some kind spilling out into a pool of green blood. The creature does not seem devastatingly injured because of it, however. Its eye stalks stop drooping.

The party's feeling of quick-stepping happy feet ends.

Round 6:
21: MILO
21: SILI       
19: JAGA     - Prone
15: ZEIG
12: Garus    - Haste (+2 attack, +2 AC, +2 Reflex, 40' movement)

Sili's song fades into background accompaniment as he raises his voice into song.

14:32, Today: SILI rolled 24 using 1d20+13 with rolls of 11. Perform (Vocal, Virelai on #5).

24/3=8, caster level 8 so 4th level song, Will Save DC 17 or #5 can't attack anyone I consider my ally. Or Dai, either.

#5 retracts its eye stalks for a second, then resumes to posture that it's preparing to beat MILO to death.
You know enough about your own music to know that it heard you, and that it should be able to be affected. Though your character doesn't understand the concept of "Will saves", it knows that sometimes his songs can fail to overcome a target's willpower (it barely made it, damn aberration good Will saves).

19: JAGA

Jaga will once again attempt to trip one of the creatures.


15:40, Today: JAGA rolled 15 using 1d20+7. Touch attack to trip #4.
15:41, Today: JAGA rolled 24 using 1d20+9. Trip roll to trip #4.
15:41, Today: JAGA rolled 9 using 1d20+7. Trip attack from Improved Trip #4.
15:42, Today: JAGA rolled 18 using 3d6+5. Trip Attack Damage.

JAGA manages to kick #4 over onto its side, then land a blow across the side of its head, which is enough for it to remain motionless on the ground. A pool of blue-green blood begins to form as it spills from its mouth.
00:51, Today: teslas rolled 13 using 1d20+5. #4 trip defense vs. JAGA.

15: ZEIG

Zeig remains where he is, healing Jaga's wounds.
15:33, Today: ZEIG rolled 11 using 1d8+7. Cure -> Jaga.
MP: 46/67

"Spiders, Scorpions, these worms...I'm starting to think we're exterminators."

Garus calls out the trying to draw number 3 off Jaga to give him the chance to regroup with the others. Garus uses his extra speed from haste to close distance moving one square west of 5.

Aiming a careful blow to land an attack number 5.


Move to one square west of 5. Provoke 3. Attack 5


08:15, Today: Garus rolled 14 using 2d6+6. Damage on the non hitting attack.
08:14, Today: Garus rolled 11 using 1d20+9. Attack 5 -2 CE.

DAI stays out of harm's way and instead focuses his fire with the others, aiming to take out the wounded Crawler Garus and MILO were engaging.

Free: 5ft step East
Standard: Cast Stone on Crawler 5

06:01, Today: DAI rolled 22 using 2d10+10. Damage.
06:01, Today: DAI rolled 24 using 1d20+6. Stone(RTA)(PBS) vs 5.
Rough terrain East and NE of it
MP 28/67

Garus trucks it over to #5, stabbing at it ineffectually. #3, for the second time, seems resolute in slapping JAGA with its tentacles over and over.

DAI's spell strikes true, hammering the crawler and creating a pile of rubble near it.

Most of the crawlers continue to slumber.

#3 continues his assault upon JAGA, paralyzing him once again.
I condensed this one a bit since I had all the modifiers memorized.
10:39, Today: teslas rolled 5 using 1d6. bite acid.
10:39, Today: teslas rolled 3 using 1d4+1. bite physical.
10:39, Today: teslas rolled 5 using 4d3. 4x tentacle damage.

10:38, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 16 using 1d20+8. Fortitude 3/4.
10:38, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 11 using 1d20+8. Fortitude 2/4.
10:38, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 24 using 1d20+8. Fortitude 1/4.
10:37, Today: teslas rolled 13 using 1d20+1. bite.

10:37, Today: teslas rolled 17 using 1d20+7. 3/4.
10:37, Today: teslas rolled 24 using 1d20+7. 2/4.
10:37, Today: teslas rolled 22 using 1d20+7. #3 tentacle vs. JAGA 1/4.

#5 aims for the last creature to harm it, the dog that bit it that can also apparently create rock missiles above its head.
10:30, Today: teslas rolled 5 using 1d6. bite acid damage.
10:30, Today: teslas rolled 4 using 1d4+1. bite physical damage.
10:29, Today: teslas rolled 10 using 1d20+1. bite vs. MILO.
10:31, Today: teslas, on behalf of SILI, rolled 22 using 1d20+6. MILO, Fortitude.
10:32, Today: teslas rolled 1 using 1d3. 4/4 acid damage.
10:29, Today: teslas rolled 19 using 1d20+7. tentacle vs. prone/paralyzed MILO 4/4.
10:29, Today: teslas, on behalf of SILI, rolled 13 using 1d20+6. MILO, Fortitude.
10:29, Today: teslas rolled 3 using 1d3. 3/4 acid damage.
10:28, Today: teslas rolled 26 using 1d20+7. 3/4.
10:28, Today: teslas rolled 14 using 1d20+7. 2/4.
10:27, Today: teslas rolled 15 using 1d20+7. #5 tentacle vs. MILO 1/4.
The third tentacle connects, which causes MILO's legs to give out. He flops to the floor and is hit by a fourth tentacle as well as a set of gruesome mandibles dripping with ooze.

MILO twiches on the ground once or twice, eyes wide open with a mixture of fear and rage.

Round 7:
21: MILO     - Paralyzed, Prone
21: SILI       
19: JAGA     - Paralyzed, Prone

Sili persists, certain that the creature was vulnerable to his manipulations.

11:49, Today: SILI rolled 19 using 1d20+13 with rolls of 6. Perform (Vocal, Virelai on #5).

19/3=6, caster level 6, song level 3, Will save DC 16 or can't attack my allies.

I didn't roll a few things secretly that I should have. I instead cleared the dice roller. Now, let's see how quickly we can fill the damn thing up again!

Crawler #5's gaze has changed from MILO to SILI, though it's unclear whether it's because MILO is now paralyzed and a non-threat, or if SILI's music has finally enraptured it.

JAGA's limp mouth leaks a bit of spit while a tentacle lash across his hand leaks a little bit of blood, all of it draining into a pile of vile-smelling blue-green crawler paste.

15: ZEIG

"Don't touch the tentacles!"
Zeig cleanses the toxins from Jaga's body, leaving a lingering warmth to protect him from future harm.
Basuna, CL 7, Bless (+5 to Fortitude Saves for 1 turn)
MP: 45/67

Round 7:
21: MILO     - Paralyzed, Prone
21: SILI       
19: JAGA     - Delaying, Prone, Bless (+5 Fort)
15: ZEIG       
12: Garus    - Combat Expertise (2), Haste (+2 attack, +2 AC, +2 Reflex, 40' movement)
11: DAI       
11: #1,2     - Sleeping
11: #3,5
11: #6       - Sleeping

Map unchanged. JAGA, Garus, or both, your turns.

Spinning around on the ground, Jaga sort of does a pinwheel motion with his legs trying to hit the monster twice.

20:52, Today: JAGA rolled 13 using 3d6+5. Attack 2 damage against #3.
20:52, Today: JAGA rolled 13 using 3d6+5. Attack 1 damage against #3.
20:51, Today: JAGA rolled 15 using 1d20+10. Attack 2 against #3.
20:50, Today: JAGA rolled 12 using 1d20+10. Attack 1 against #3.
07:23, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 25 using 1d20+6. 2/2.
07:23, Today: teslas, on behalf of JAGA, rolled 14 using 1d20+6. PiB vs. #3 1/2.

Note that I made a mistake and all the attack rolls are at -4....

GM Edit-
Re-rolls for correct modifier. Check OOC. Also, an ellipsis has three dots, not four, damn it.

DAI was feeling a little embarrassed for JAGA at this point, having been frozen in half a dozen positions by now, he slowly approached and readied his most damaging spell, hoping he could give the Black Belt some breathing room.

Move: 30ft West
Standard: Cast Fire II targeting 3

18:29, Today: DAI rolled 7 using 1d20. 12-14 conserve MP.
