In the crystal-clear waters, Posey can see far ahead, seeing stumps, more than one school of fish, a snake, a small sunken boat...

Just kidding. It's a fucking swamp. Visibility extends a few feet out, but not by much. There is algae in the water, and debris of many dead plants and trees

A bog. One of the preferred slumbering zones of feral vampires.
Posey keeps walking and searching, until she's confirmed that there's no tanks, and then turns around, shakes like a dog, and gives a frustrated sigh.

(Btw, Posey has never seen a tank irl)

Okay, looks like I can't speak verbal components while holding my breath, but Posey isn't holding her breath, so she can cast a spell underwater, fuck yeah!
[Garbled arcane nonsense]
>>172946
With this check, Posey recognizes a hydra, one of the most coveted corpses among Necromancers. She knows that it's powerful enough to actually destroy her despite her DR, her frightful presence is unlikely to scare it away (although just barely strong enough to shake it, iirc), and that it's a monster that heals so quickly she can't possibly out-damage it.
In these conditions, she can't run away either.
Only solution? Save-Or-Die Attack.

Posey bubbles some arcane nonsense and uses Versatile Spellcaster to cast Ghoul Touch. She doesn't attack with it though, as that would be a waste of time. No AoO, because she won initiative and it's flat-footed.
She holds the charge, taunting the serpent to bite her as she holds onto the spell, daring it to devour her.

This activates her Frightful Presence (DC 21)

Level Adjustment:-

A wriggling shape pulses forward, at least 10 feet in length. It is a nauseatingly textured translucent worm whose head gradually narrows into two ominously long, questing tentacles.

Condensed from the hidden marrow of a cerebrotic blot, amoebic crawlers are clots of alien space-time concentrated into awful ravenous, self-propelled motes. Amoebic crawlers partake somewhat of the realm which is ultimately responsible for their existence, and thus exude a palpable dread. An amoebic crawler is 10feet long, although its tentacles can stretch further. It weighs about 1,000 pounds, although much larger specimens are known to exist.

Combat
An amoebic crawler attacks with its lashing tentacles, attempting to grab and slowly strangle helpless foes. Subdued foes are absorbed into the crawler’s body in an horrific external digestive process.
Acid (Ex): An amoebic crawler’s acid does not harm metal or stone.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, an amoebic crawler must hit with its tentacle attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it established a hold and deals damage automatically every round (those grappled are affected by its vile touch ability).
Vile Touch (Su): Those grappled by the slimy tentacles of this creature sometimes glimpse images from the Far Realm, and the sight sends them into screaming, explosive convulsions of nausea. Each round a creature remains grappled, it must succeed on a DC 12 Will save or be nauseated for that round.
Translucent (Ex): Amoebic crawlers are hard to see, even under ideal conditions, and it takes a DC 10 Spot check to notice one. Creatures who fail to notice a crawler and walk into it automatically take acid damage.

Okay, on Posey's next turn, she takes the withdraw action, moving back 30 ft, while her puppies dogpile the hydra.

...Wait a minute, do I need a slashing weapon to remove a head? If so, Posey's puppies would have had to attack the main body.

Oh fucking hell, I'm going to have to attack on this turn to make her puppy's attack count.
Posey moves in, draws her sword, and slashes, attempting to sunder the head that her puppies attacked.

Posey is down to half health. Her fast healing kicks in.
Idk who's turn it is, but since the hydras already attacked, Posey should have a turn.
The Hydra is needs to make opposed grapple checks. If it's grappled, it gets no AoO.

Posey makes another Sunder, this time not forgetting her fetish bonus.

Idk, her crawlers aren't capable of precise instructions, but their attacks are acid based, and they damage him by grappling. Maybe I'm grasping at straws, but idk what else to do.
If Posey doesn't cut off and cauterize a head every round for the next three rounds, the Crawlers vanish as her spell expires, and the Hydra wins.

It's not perfectly easy, as it requires finding a way to latch the bags to her body, on top of what Kira is already carrying. It's best done with a belt. Neela takes several items in two saddle bags.

"Good enough" she says, and walks towards the door, leaving unceremoniously after shooting a disapproving look to Lash. Girka says, "If Dehan gets out, he'll be looking for you." Lash stares at Kira as she leaves. But otherwise, they are able to leave
