The SSRS Kostroma lies idle in the southeastern bay of Mended Horn Island. Only the front portion, the two forward masts and the front of the superstructure that sits in the center of the freighter's hull, is illuminated by a pair of dim lights that glow orange-red, a sure sign that the boilers of the Kostroma are dying, and the lights will soon go off. The remainder of the ship's funnel, and the mast behind the superstructure are visible only in silhouette. The gibbous moon and starry night that would have provided a clear backdrop to the black hulk of the Kostroma have been smothered by the overcast skies and light rain.
A sound comes, not from the Kostroma, and indeed, not from anywhere at all. A low, vaguely tinnitus-like sound that drains out the sound of silence. It calls to you. It calls to everyone.
"Come to the Kostroma, good soldier. Join us here. Come."

For a third time, Stained Sand is grabbed
Silver picks up the torch and either turns it off or forces it into something

Not quite, though obviously that specific pony is going to the far end of the room

The tendrils make another attack, this time reaching out for Kira
[1d20+6 = (14+6) = 20]
[1d20+8 = (17+8) = 25]

This gets Kira into a panic. Stained Sand is taken for a ride as Kira wriggles about trying to get the freaky tentacle of darkness off of her. "GETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF!"

Kira is pulled up by her tail. She can only just touch the ground with her chest and hooves. Her body is not really designed to stretch in that way, so it’s rather painful.

"OWIE! HELP! IT'S GOT ME!"
Kira screams out as she swings her upper half around, trying to break free from the hold.
Improved Grapple: [1d20+13 = (3+13) = 16]

I'm busy at work, and I don't really know what's going on, but since my last target ran away I will focus on the tentacle monster currently denied their dex bonus by grappling.
Charge with sword

[1d8+6 = (3+6) = 9]

I meant the one attacking Kira btw.l
Did I hit?

On the one hoof, that’s high enough to heat its AC. On the other hoof, that might not be physically high enough

Is there anything else I can do on my turn?
If Kira is on the ground and being attacked, how can Posey not reach the attacking creature from the ground?
She could use her Halberd instead.
>>194887
A unique feature of Kira's physiology allows her to simultaneously be 10 feet off the ground but also on the ground. Whereas Posey is closer to the ground. I suppose though, if Posey jumped, or if any part of the tendrils are lower and closer to the ground, and most certainly if she used a halberd, she could reach it

Kira comes down with a massive THUD and lets out a quiet, "...owwwww..." Her eyes shoot open in a panic after only a second of realizing she's free, and she gets into a position to attack with her bow again...while she's still coiled around Sand, with the bulge from the digesting Hopper very near him.

Stained Sand:
“No! These things keep grabbing me!” He attempted to push off Kira’s trunk, presumably unsuccessfully.
There are three creatures in Cargo Hold 4, all three of whom are ponies. One pony left and port who has moved back and is shooting a barrel. In the center, a rifle pony who has started to retreat from the room and is now the courtesy away. To the right and starboard, a pony has been kicking barrels in Cavaliere’s direction

They're not communicating with each other, right?
Posey returns to the next room on her turn, with intent to run through it to the boiler room.

Apparently you can't disarm or sunder with a ranged attack. Very sad.
Cavaliere shoots at the earth pony kicking barrels.
[1d20+8 = (5+8) = 13]
[2d6 = 11]

The left rifle pony moves away and retreats towards the bow. The right pony, previously at the barrels, moves away and retreats towards the bow. The rifle pony in the center moves to look for an item in the front half of Cargo Hold 4.

Bull Rush Charge: With Posey out of the way, Silver charges the pony shooting at the barrel full of kerosene and attempts to slam him into the wall, hopefully with enough force that he drops the weapon.
[1d20+5 = (11+5) = 16]

I think so. Or he could still try the one on the left but that one gets a save, because it's had time to move out of direct line of attack. the one of the center has a clear line of attack though

Seeing as how the one in cargo hold 4 is flat-footed and closest, Posey draws her bow and shoots him samurai style.
Bone Bow:
[1d20+6 = (8+6) = 14]
[1d10+3 = (10+3) = 13]
Iajutsu Focus
[1d20+8 = (15+8) = 23]

Wait, did I target the wrong enemy?
I'm sorry. I am very confused with the situation and initiative order.

The butt of the rifle slams into Silver's head, no doubt leading to what will be a painful welt later, but it's too late as Silver carries his momentum into the pony and likewise slams into him, forcing him back.

With the darkness defeated for the moment, Kira slithers into the bulkhead, grimacing as she feels the kerosene get stuck on the underside of her snake body, and gets into position for optimal constriction on the pony on the right.

I think it’s Posey’s Turn, assuming Silver confirms his action
Wait, did Silver move with the enemy after pushing him babk? Because if he didn't he wouldn't be in melee.
I thought the enemy was flat-footed because he was bust retrieving an item.
