Posey is staring down the hydra with her body half-eaten and her puppies flanking to attack on her turn.
(hydra's turn)

The hydra bites at each attacker with its remaining heads.
I'm not sure if frightful presence should still be effective, or if it should even have affected the hydra in the first place

It hits, due to Posey being underwater.
Here's to a good damage roll. I need the Masochism bonus to make another head this round.

Going to roll Posey's turn preemptively.
She lets her Puppies attack first

Posey follows up with a Sunder. Depending on the results of the opposed grapple, she may or may not take an attack of opportunity.
[1d20+10 = (13+10) = 23]
"[Incoherent bubbling]!" (Die!)
[1d20+10 = (13+10) = 23]
"[Incoherent bubbling]!" (Die!)
This would be Posey's whole turn.
Hydra attacks now.
>>173016
Fuck yes. Only two heads left.
Posey's Crawlers stick around for two more rounds.

I don't think so. One AoO should be one attack. They have the ability to do it several times in the same round, should there be multiple occasions

Posey's puppies continue their flanking routine, extending their innards to slurp up the blood as Posey removed the heads.

Okay, I've taken three of its heads, and Posey's Puppies have done decent damage to it every round. It should be at very low health, but it'll heal.
If I take another head this round, it'll have one head left after Posey's puppies go...
I need to do as much damage as possible to it this round.

It can attack and escape a grapple in the same turn?
Whatever. Posey's puppies are massive HP sponges.
Puppies attack again on Posey's turn, their last attack for this summon

Posey takes advantage of this to sunder one of its two remaining heads.

If that's a will save, that means he's Nauseated, but only for one round as Posey's puppies are about to disappear.

Well, I can't outrun it at swimming speed, and with no acid damage left, I can't reliably cut off heads...
Posey could try to summon her puppies again... But idk about that.
With no other options left, Posey's best bet is to try to deal as much damage as possible in this single round, before its fast healing kicks in and the battle becomes unwinnable. It I get it down to low enough health, it might flee, but idk. If my math is right, it should be around 14 HP...
Posey makes a charnel touch against the neaseated Hydra. She uses versatile spellcaster to cast Inflict Moderate wounds.
[1d20+7 = (9+7) = 16]

She can always hold the charge...

"It sounds like you would value getting some nicer furniture over getting a nicer apartment."
Idk why I cast Inflictoderate Wounds, when I should've just summoned two more crawlers... Inflict spells are garbage. It was almost 2:00 AM, and I wanted the fight to be over, but now idk how I can do enough damage to drop this guy if that last attack didn't take him down.
And I got rid of my >overpowered Defiler feat, so I can't recover that slot.

Wait... I have one more Cha bonus spell slot than I initially thought. Posey could summon her puppies one more time, for a drawn out but equally .
It would have been smarter to do that while the Hydra was Nauseated though...
If Posey swam 15 ft backwards with her remaining move action, maybe she wouldn't provoke AoO, but the Hydra should have long reach, and that would just let it charge her on its turn, so Posey will have to stay put and rely on her damage reduction to tank this for long enough to summon her puppies again.

It's the Hydra's turn, once GM is done with math.

Amber nods and continues on, but she is left pondering what he could possibly mean by that. A wide smile by a griffon is always something to be concerned about.
That'll teach me to catch up to posts before replying

Amber enters into the inner castle, finding medieval walls with rooms built in, and a plaza with grass, trees, stone, a little stand selling pastries and a number of uniformed officers gathered around that, evidently talking and eating. Amber sees a mix of medieval fortifications, baroque additions, and then more modern glass windows. Interestingly, there are two shinny high-end automobiles, a black Mercurial, and a new burgundy Mustang Royal, undoubtably a difficult to obtain import.
But what stands out in the plaza are the two buildings that occupy much of its space. One, standing a bit to the left and the back, is a very old cylindrical tower. But more interesting is the very large basilica, likely possessing the title of "cathedral" and certainly worthy of it. situated to the right at the back of the plaza, alongside the wall, it's tall, rectangular, in the neo-gothic style with one tower near the center, a high gable roof of black tile with a pattern of blue V's, high but narrow stained-glass windows along the side, and a few statues of saints about the door at its entrance.
But Amber isn't here for that. She's here for the structure at the end of the plaza. The Grandmaster's Palace. There are two round towers around the entrance, and two guards, who make eye contact with her and motion for her to enter.

Indeed, it always could be worse. Still, getting nearly run over is not exactly on Kira's to-do list.
"Sorry! Sorry!" She quickly finishes the crossing, holding her hooves up apologetically to the driver. She tries in vain to calm down any fleeing ponies but most get away before she can even get the chance to approach them. When she sees the police officers, she smiles and waves to them as they come closer.
"Oh, hello! Sorry about that, I'm still new to the city. I have my ID on me." Just like with the other officer, she shows these two police stallions her ID bracelet.
