Corbius seeing Nim get most of his face blasted off rushes forward to assist him.
Double move to AB16
Aedalis also moves up as far as he can and yells out, Nim, move back to us, we can't do much to it at this distance!
Realizing that running to his companions will not save him, Nim draws and consumes his healing elixir while commanding Wic to defend him as he shifts to put his back to the wall.
Wic places himself between the Harpy and his master... ready to attack should the Harpy give him a chance to.
As the Harpy flies in, Nim thrusts up at her with his spear...
... and strikes true.

Special Abilities
Captivating Song (Su) A harpy’s song has the power to infect
the minds of those that hear it, calling them to the harpy’s
side. When a harpy sings, all creatures aside from other
harpies within a 300-foot spread must succeed on a DC
16 Will saving throw or become captivated. A creature that
successfully saves is not subject to the same harpy’s song
for 24 hours. A victim under the effects of the captivating
song moves toward the harpy using the most direct means
available. If the path leads them into a dangerous area such
as through fire or off a cliff, that creature receives a second
saving throw to end the effect before moving into peril.
Captivated creatures can take no actions other than to
defend themselves. A victim within 5 feet of the harpy
simply stands and offers no resistance to the harpy’s
attacks. This effect continues for as long as the harpy sings
and for 1 round thereafter. This is a sonic mind-affecting
charm effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Equipment:
+1 GreatClub, Adamantin Chain Shirt of the Azlant.
This Adamantine Chainmail Shirt +1 appears as a beautiful vest. Through a special process known only to some Azlanti mystics they were able to improve on the protection given by the vest that allows it to function as medium armor for its' damage reduction properties 2/-.
Moderate transmutation; CL 7th; Craft Magic Arms

Tragershen 13
Aedalis 12
Corbrius 3
The Harpy banks and flys by you again attacking. The two exchange blows as they go by but Wic's attack is ill timed and misses.
De to her manuever she is not able to put as much distance or height between her and the rest of you.
Although the wolf misses at first, his second effort as she flies away, manages to connect.

Corbrius 3
Nim 2
Mihai ponders the problem of the flying harpy while his companions act around him.
Tragershen closes the distance to the rest of the group, fighting against the undergrowth and crumbling ruins to do so. As he does, he dips a finger into a pouch pocket and coming out with resin.
Double move to Z15.
Round 2, Init 14
Anton jogs off to the southeast, pulling out a javelin as he goes. He gives a little stutter step while drawing back his throwing arm, then puts his whole little body into launching a missile at the man-eating songstress. Putting both hands on his lucerne hammer, the determined halfling prepares for a counterattack.
Corbius continues to struggle forward through the jungle underbrush trying to get closer to Nim. He whispers words of power as he goes, his hand suddenly surrounded by a crackling field of electricity.
Wic snaps at the Harpy and puts a shallow cut on it as it goes by.
Mihai waits...
Ishirou moves forward and readies an attack himself.
Scimitar
Anton makes another successful attack on the creature.
Tragershen moves up.
Corbrius moves up and readies an attack.
Aedalis moves up and uses his powers on the Harpy to try and get her to miss more.
Unfortunately, she is able to shake off the effects.
Round 2:
Mihai has considered the manner in which the harpy has chosen to fight... and how best he might contribute. Readying himself he prepares to extend the grace of the walker to whoever is targeted next...
Nim limps slowly to rejoin the group, bleeding heavily as he goes... ...all the while keeping a wary eye on the circling Harpy, readying himself for her inevitable return to finish him off. Staggering and almost falling he croaks out to his comrades though the ruin of his face, Help me!
As the Harpy swoops into range of his reach, Nim ceases his wounded animal near death ploy by releasing his spear and spinning to face the Harpy. Lunging up at her explosively and with purpose, the muscular druid reaches out to grab hold of her wing and arm...
...and takes a firm hold of the Harpy, stopping her from flying away.
As the Harpy wrenches free of the Nim's hold and attempts to take flight, the druid grabs for her a second time...
...and once again takes firm hold of her. Pulling her back to him he jeers, Where do you thing you are going?
Wic moves with Nim, keeping himself between his master and the Harpy, ready to defend him.
Wic snaps at the Harpy as it flies by...
... but misses.
Wic snaps at the Harpy as it flies away...
... but misses.
The Harpy banks left and comes in at Nim flying by Anton, Anton swings and possibly misses as she comes by.
Nim is ready and tries to grab the Harpy! The Harpy swings to fend off the grab.
The blow is enough to drop Nim. With her original target down she sees Mihai directly ahead and swoops by him and tries to attack!
and lands a powerful blow on him. She then goes to 15' off the ground and banks slightly away from you.
Order of Combat Round 3:

Tragershen 13
Aedalis 12
Corbrius 3
Tragershen steps forward and casts a spell to try and bring the harpy's flyby attacks to an end.
Nim grabs the Harpy with the strength of many men, unfortunately the Harpy has powerful natural weapons that rake Nim in the Face.
The powerful talon strike is enough to drop the big Druid but also is enough to stop the Harpy in it's tracks and give the rest of the group a chance to try and end the creature.
Round 3, Init 14
When Nim brings the harpy to ground within range of Anton's lucerne hammer, the perceptive halfling spends a moment studying her. Confident that he has the measure of the monster, Anton swings his polearm's hammerhead around, striking her solidly -- but without much force behind the blow.
Corbius seeing the mighty druid go down rushes forward to protect him from the Harpy. Straddling his prone form he takes advantage of the Harpy's distraction and drives his rapier at her the crackle of electricity fills the air along with the smell of burnt flesh as the tip is driven home.
Aedalis moved over to the fallen Druid and infused him with positive energy, assuming that he was out the fight and not killed outright...
Round 3:
Mihai sees Nim fall after halting the harpy and immediately moves to his aid. Coming to the now crowded druid, the varisian pilgrim channels the divine...
Nim's regains consciousness with a start as the positive energy from Aedalis (and then Mihai) repairs some of the horrific wounds visited upon him by the Harpy...
In the ensuing struggle the Harpy is pulled to ground level, but is able to maintain her footing.
Ishirou moves to AB 21 and provides the Flank for Anton.
Tragershen moves up AB,17 and casts Azlanti GLue on the Harpy. The powerful Azalanti spell strikes the Harpy...
She resists the affect, but it does splatter her with some glue.
Aedalis moves in and heals Nim, bringing him to consciousness.
Corbrius moves in and attacks landing a solid blow, hurting the Harpy further.
Round 4 starts with Mihai moving up and further healing Nim.
Anton attacks and hits the Harpy.

Still lying upon the ground, Nim hesitates to see if Wic will bring the Harpy down to the ground before making his own move.
Wic steps closer to the Harpy and defends his master...
...but fails to put teeth to the Harpy.
Nim curses when Wic fails to bring the Harpy down to the ground with him, but sees no other recourse but to try and grab her again...
...and latches onto her, holding on for dear life!
Wic bites once again at the Harpy...
Nim tries to regain his hold upon the Harpy as she tries to move away...
...and once again prevents her escape!
The Harpy looks around at all of the group around her and Nim latched onto her.
She tries to slip both legs out form Nim's impressive grasp to get away before the party can end her!
Nooooooo!
By luck she pulls just as Nim adjusts his grip and slips free from his grasp. She moves up and away from the group as fast as she can.
Ishirou attacks the Harpy!
but misses by a wide margin!
AOO's and the party to go.
Nim lashes out at the Harpy from the ground as it escapes his grip and tries to flee...
Corbius takes advantage of the harpy turning away from him driving his rapier into her side opening another wound.
As the harpy tries to get away from Nim's strong grasp and Tragershen's sticky spell, Anton swings once again with his hammer-headed polearm, smacking the songbird that snacks on cannibals hard on her skull.
As the Harpy flees Nim, Wic, Corbrius, and Anton swing and catch the creature high, medium, and low to end it. Feathers and blood fly everywhere...people look around in hopes of Prestidigitation...
The battle is over. The harpy has a magic vest on that radiates two auras, a greatclub that radiates minor magic.
She has the following mundane items:
Necklace 75gp
In her nest:
12pp
155gp
217sp
2 gems 25gp ea
an ornate flute made of silver with Azalanti carvings on it.
250gp to the right collectore.
After being sure that the harpy is indeed dead, Mihai takes great pleasure in removing his earplugs and massaging his ears. "I will not miss the sensation of having my ears stuffed so." Seeing that Nim still suffers from wounds endured, Mihai extends Sinashakti's grace once more...
Burn Bull's Strength to CMW:
...and checks upon the others to ensure that the do not suffer.
When the possessions of the harpy are tallied, Mihai takes the flute on a whim and tunelessly blows a few notes. Despite it being an affront on the sensibilities of those that hear, the varisian smiles "I trust none would mind if I kept the flute for the moment?"
Nim picks himself up off the ground and graciously accepts the further attentions of Mihai... ...before yanking his own earplugs out and placing them into his pack.
I do not mind my friend... but perhaps I should keep my plugs in? Nim manages a smile, even though his face still shows some of the Harpy's recent handiwork.
Although wholly uninterested in the Harpy's weapon or armor (for himself), Nim does his best to assist the others in identifying them.
Relieved that the harpy has finally been slain, Tragershen wastes little time in scanning her belongings for magic auras. When they are found, he quietly sets to examining them closely, trying to determine their exact nature.
Spellcraft on the vest:
Spellcraft on the club:
Edit: Tragershen will then turn to the ruins, where he begins using Presdigitation to clean away dirt, mud and other obstructions so he can try to glean new revelations from the ancient site.
Showing mock umbrage "You wound me good sir." Mihai gives a short bow and tucks the flute into his clothing. He assists where able with making camp and spends some time reading his partial deck of harrow cards.
Aedalis showed little emotion after the fight with the Harpy, although inside he was irritated his abilities had so little impact on it. He inspected the auras around the two magical items, sharing his findings with the others.
Once done, he assists Tragershen in his inspection of the ruins, using his Unseen Servant to make the cleaning far more efficient.
The Greatclub is a minor magical item
It takes you some time to figure out the vest. Eventually Aedalis has Mihai trying it on. The vest turns out to be armor, hidden by a Glamour. Once he figures out how to turn off the glamour you see the true nature of the armor. It is made of a material only one of you have ever seen...adamantine. It is beautifully made and very valuable. Each chain link has symbols carved on it, making it almost a piece of artwork...you can only guess that someone important must have worn it at some point.
This Adamantine Chainmail Shirt +1 appears as a beautiful vest. Through a special process known only to some Azlanti mystics they were able to improve on the protection given by the armor that allows it to function as medium armor for its' damage reduction properties and provides the wearer with damage reduction 2/-.
Moderate transmutation; CL 7th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, disguise self, stonekin; Cost +6,775 gp.
The armor seems to fit you perfectly...it almost feels like it was made for you...maybe the cards will tell you more.
