Lannior's arrow hits his target but he sees his arrow dealing less damage, it does knock off its hood to reveal the glowing red eyes in teh same manner of a Bone priest the arty fought prior to this!
Fleur delivers a club to its face but it stands there grinning. Nit on the other hand drives his spear through its bony rib cage finding no purchase.
Its bodyguard, steps forward and slashes at Nit!

Unfortunately Na'al is unable to avoid the flying rock
Na'al lands light as a feather which is unusual for someone of his large frame. He moves towards yellow and takes out Mercy and swings it at yellow.

Na'al the Healer
Redirecting al attacks to Red as Na'al decimates the Bone priest. In case you've forgotten, Snapleaf also makes you invisible.....until you all attacked.
Bone flies in all directions at Na'al's announcement with some of the fragments peppering his companions.....as Arboreal stands steadfast against its compulsion.
The skeletal compariot smacks the arrow mid flight, shattering it while at the same time ignoring Nit's attacks as his spear bounces off supernaturally hardened bones but gets smacked full in the face by Electra's magical bolt. Moments later its skull takes a beating from Fleur's club!

Na'al makes another powerful swing at the skeletal champion

Seeing his spear get of little use against these undead Nit slide next to the skeletal champion, dropping his spear and growing a set of claws as he flanks with Na'al.
The floating Vault is nearly a half-mile wide with defenses established in every direction. An adamantine shell encloses the structure; however this has been ruptured, and strands of the sky metal practically bleed from the holes in a vain attempt to repair the damage and reseal the area completely. The ground bulges all about, and chunks of earth and metal explode periodically as blasts of air billow out from within, driven by an unseen force.
As the falling rock you're on accelerates and closes in on the fortress, the party finds that every second counts as........
DC 20 Knowledge (engineering), Perception, or Survival check:
To identify a prospective breach in the fortress.
.............your miniature mountain crashes into the side of the fortress, the Party have only a brief window in which to clamber off, make their way toward an entrance, and slip inside.
DC 17 Acrobatics or Climb check or Reflex save from each PC.:
or take 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6 damage for slamming into the walls hard....
Only to confront the ardorous task of navigating its claustrophobic confines, only allowing 3 of the party to advance at a time.
DC 20 three Hard Knowledge (dungeoneering) or Survival checks:
Init +2; Senses darkvision 60 ft., Perception +0 AC 22, touch 12, flat-footed 20 hp 35/35 Fort +4, Ref +3, Will +1; +1 vs. fear
survival:1d20 ⇒ 12 Na'al is unable to perceive any crack in the rock
climb:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 Although he is able to avoid smashing into the rock by using his strong climbing arms
survival:1d20 ⇒ 13 survival:1d20 ⇒ 19 survival:1d20 ⇒ 17
Na'al looks and looks but is unable to navigate the maze-like passages
As the party attempts to find their way amidst the chaos, the shifting walls of their confines smashes into them dealing 12 points of damage each.
Thanks to the more alert party members, escaping a cunningly hidden trap by a hair's breadth, the party finally fins themselves in a different area.
For you to do healing.
A heavily worn set of stairs leads from claustrophobic tunnels into an eroded cavern studded with sand-scoured crystals that emit cool, faint light. The jagged foundations are all that’s left of metal walls—the fragments of which now jut from the wall like throwing knives. An immense, intricate, thousand-sided polyhedron made of sky metals floats within a tight series of binding circles. As blasts of air erupt from the polyhedron, the surface’s shattered facets regenerate before being blasted apart on another side.

Lannior hands his wand to Arboreal or Fluer and gets healed before proceeding.
Wand CLW:3d8 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1, 5) + 3 = 11
Lannior stares at he strange polyhedron. What in the world is that? Is it some kind of prison, what with all the binding circles, but Electra, Arboreal, and Fluer do you know more with your know of the arcane?
The metal walls here are demolished, in fact the lowest several inches
that remain from the walls, resulting in a mostly open cavern. Near its center floats the 20-foot-diameter faceted orb, which hovers within a series of concentric arcane circles, each a rune-carved solid ring of gemstone inlaid in the ground.
The lighting here is dim, and the intermittent bursts of wind impose a –2 penalty on ranged attack rolls in this area.
In this chamber you are not alone as several other teams are wandering the area with fights breaking out every now and then as the walls disgorged defenders.
You may each post an action you wish to do.
Knowledge (arcana or planes) check required to identify circles.
@Lannior yes but the scale doesn't look very huge or it's just me.
It becomes clear to the party that the five major magic circles around the orb provide numerous external defenses that ward off intruders. They may also be dependant on each other or standalone.
A brief study as well as comments from other pathfinders already in the room gives you insight on what the runes of each circle represent. It seems that the party would likely have to join in in attempting to break the circles.
How to do this:
Any of the following skill checks allow a PC to make a discovery: a DC 17 Appraise, Disable Device, Intelligence (use the skill DC), Knowledge (religion), Wisdom (use the skill DC), or Use Magic Device; or a DC 20 Knowledge (any), Linguistics, or Perception check.
If a PC exceeds the check DC by 5 or more, count it as two successes. If a PC successfully uses one of the DC 17 skills or abilities in this way, the DC of future checks with that skill or ability to solve the puzzle increases to DC 20. A PC gains a cumulative +1 bonus on his skill check for each of the following languages he can read and understand: Abyssal, Aquan, Auran, Ignan, and Terran.
In addition, it'll be Each check per PC. Good luck

So we are just making one check per PC?
Lannior studies the strange orb as the other describe what there magical insights have disclosed to them, trying to find anything that might be helpful.
Perception DC20:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
And something clicks. Oh! See how this circle intersects with this one here, and this one here, he excitedly adds.
Arcane energies form in Nit's hand as he begins to form the runes to his own uses and devices. "This should work, but stand back as it may also explode and kill us all."

Looking at the device and taking a deep breath to Focus herself Electra with a smile adds."Only if we not first disarm the earthen one. Well brown one!
Lannior's keen senses of observation allows him to see how the many facets between the layers interact with each other despite a vague sense of something attempting to confuse his senses.
As he studies them, one of the orbs pulses followed by another, and he feels as the ground begins closing in on him!
Will Save DC 20 or be shaken. This is an evil compulsion and fear effect.
The energies that Nit tries to manipulate seems successful when suddenly it fizzles out, leaving Nit clueless on what just happened.
He too begins to feel the Oppresive aura begin to suffocate him.....
Will Save DC 20 or be shaken. This is an evil compulsion and fear effect.
Nit's whole body begins to shake. "Damn I messed it up. But...But it looked right." He looks back at the rest of the group apologetically as the oppressive aura suffocates him.
Nit. DC 17 Fort Save or suffocate.
You may make the same fort save to end the effect.
And suffocates he does as Nit's fears begins to increase, the paranoia of getting buried begins to overwhelm him...............
I also forgot this. Also I'm reposting in case it may not be clear enough.
Breaking the Circles::
Between combats, a PC can choose to damage one of the five magic gemstone circles. If a PC succeeds at a DC 17 Knowledge (arcana or planes) check, he can identify the two basic properties of the warding circles, and if his checks meets or exceeds DC 20 Skill check, he also identifies the basic properties of the other three circles.
If the PCs do not identify the circles, they must damage the circles at random. Each circle has hardness equal to 9, has hit points equal to 23, and takes half damage from energy effects (except sonic, which deals full damage).
In between combat encounters, a PC can perform 1 round of actions to damage one of the circles. As a full round action, a PC can also attempt a DC 17 Disable Device check to deal damage to a circle equal to half its maximum hit points; if the PC exceeds the check DC by 5 or more, he instead deals damage equal to the circle’s maximum hit points. A circle is destroyed entirely if reduced to 0 or fewer hit points.
Making a Discovery:
Any of the following skill checks allow a PC to make a discovery: a DC 17 Appraise, Disable Device, Intelligence (use the skill DC), Knowledge (religion), Wisdom (use the skill DC), or Use Magic Device; or a DC 20 Knowledge (any), Linguistics, or Perception check.
If a PC exceeds the check DC by 5 or more, count it as two successes. If a PC successfully uses one of the DC 17 skills or abilities in this way, the DC of future checks with that skill or ability to solve the puzzle increases to DC 20. A PC gains a cumulative +1 bonus on his skill check for each of the following languages he can read and understand: Abyssal, Aquan, Auran, Ignan, and Terran.
I'm sorry for not posting properly. Have Homework to mark.
You may Attack or Discover once per round. You may of course attempt to damage during Combat as well.
Once everybody has done a check, I'll have my monsters attack.
