MTG: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms

Tabaqui, from his position under the stone, continues to scrape away at the underside with his dagger, trying to carve an opening in the stone.  If he hears Tauzan, he will call out, "Under here!  I'm down here!"

<for context, here's a demo of a friable mineral: https://youtu.be/4K7ib2WuO-I&gt;

Tauzen's axe-like swing sends his khopesh slicing through the water to crack the stone sealing Tabaqui.  It still rests on top of the hollow space, but that space is now flooding with lake water.  The pieces can be moved out of the way with a DC12 Str check.  Crowbar could be used for advantage, but help from u dermearh doesn't work.  An improvised crowbar could suffice, but might damage the object being used.

As he struggles with the elementals, Angus calls out to his comrades, "I've had a... a vision!  There is a potential ally nearby if we can get out of this situation and flee..."

Tyreus summons an elemental.  Even to those familiar with such creatures, the emergent entity is mysterious.  appearing from a reddish tear in the space from which it emerges, a formless cloud of coppery vapor or sparkling dust about 5 feet in diameter.

Simultaneously, the force barrier surrounding the adventurers and the water elementals dissipates from existence.

<I'm done with this stupid force bubble.  It's in the module; it's just supposed to slow down anyone who enters the room long enough for Tyreus to show up.  I've overplayed its utility.  Just let it vanish for mysterious reasons or I'll have to explain it in some convoluted manner.>

Initiative is not my favorite thing.  please just do stuff.

 this is the last initiative list I have

Tauzen will continue trying to break through the cap of material covering the hole Tabaqui is trapped in.  He will swim to the surface as needed to get a breath, check the surroundings, before diving back down to continue.

(ooc: the last position I have for Tyreus is that he was dashing along or to the lakeshore castle wall... how far away from Calner is he now? and does he have any cover?)

 Well, he ran for the shore with a castle wall with a door.  He could have gone through it and be on the other side, but let's just say he stopped short of the wall to turn and cast conjure elemental, remaining inside the castle complex.

Rounded down. It's 50ft

Tabaqui will continue to chip away at the stone from underneath. (should I be rolling something?)

<Tauzen has broken the stone just needs to lift it off, so Str (athletics).  I think the while group still has water breathing active, too.>

It's really hard to picture getting the leverage to push the stone out of the way while water floods in as the elf hangs by a dagger in a sandy crevice.  I guess if I had ro five it a DC (I dont) bit I'd call it a 26 Athletics.  Much lower from the top.  

Tauzan tries to lift away the stone blocking the opening. (Athletics Check: 19)

(perhaps Tabaqui can help Tauzan from underneath?)

(Because I don't want him to be trapped under a rock, Tabaqui csn help Tauzen move it)

Grapple check Dex 18

Wis saves

Tyreus23

Elemental 18

Tyreus avoids the star spawns physical and mental assaults (pending additional attacks)

The elemental is not impacted by the presence of the starspawn.

(Second Athletics Check for Tauzan with help from Tabaqui: 16)

Where is Angus and what is his condition?

 Success! Tabaqui is free to move about, starting 10ft underwater

Where is Angus and what is his condition?

 I do not know.  I thought he was dragged through the demiplane door to the center of the room with an opening in the ceiling which water is beginning to enter.  Soon the room will flood.  The demiplabe will also start to flood if the door is open, which I assume it is (the force bubble having ended)  the mercenaries are fleeing by water, having already left the room.  I think the water elementals are still in the room.

 (Angus is still grappled by one of the elementals, in the flooding room, and 47/94 hp, so about half dead ;)
