Pondering the smoke for a moment Harlis decides to see if this evil is active. Pausing to cast a protection from evil blessing from Iomedae he dismounts and fills his aspergillium. Then a further step or two lets him spray the mist with the blessed water, created to be a bane of both undead and creatures hailing from the lower planes.

If you're casting a spell, then we should roll initiative. "Smokey" will react.

Initiative Rolls:
Smokey: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Agnes: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Ethendril: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Harlis: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Hotspur: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Wayreth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Sorted Initiative Order:
Hotspur: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Smoke: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Wayreth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Harlis: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Agnes: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
____________________________________________________________

Harlis notices the smoke begin to cloy around him. He prepares to cast a spell of protection, and Smokey suddenly seems very "angry." It moves as though rearing back to pounce. But, before it can do so...

Hotspur is up first!

This is round 1.

Sorry, I've got no idea of how to attack the smoke yet. Shooting it seems a little strange.

The smoke enters Harlis' square and seems to coalesce a bit.

Reflexively, Harlis holds his breath and avoids taking in any of the smoke.

"What is this foul smoke?" Ethendril shouts to the others. Though he has no idea what it could be, he steps toward it, swinging mightily with his magical greatsword.

Wayreth hangs back a little to see what effect Ethendril's blade has on the creature, if any.

Delay till after Ethendril.

Was I able to ask that friendly druid to cast greater magic fang on me?

Silver Crusade

As the paladin swings his sword through the smoke, he feels like the blade slowed down for the tiniest fraction of a moment. He didn't connect. But, he does get the sense that this thing can be hurt.

Sure, Wayreth. He'll cast it, but you'll need to pay for the spellcasting service. 150 GP

Hmm...that would add up quickly. I'll pass on that and get a wand of magic fang instead.

Wayreth purses his lips as he looks at the smoke, trying to discern some sort of anatomy so that he can find a vulnerable spot to strike.

But I will go ahead and guess it the smoke is immune to sneak attack... And that's assuming the damn thing can even be flanked...

Darting to the opposite side of the smoke from Ethendril, Wayreth attempts a swing at the smoke.

attack roll with piranha strike: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 2 = 24
(+2 if it can be flanked)

Seeing the smoke swiftly engulf him Harlis decides to instead use a long lasting spell to protect all nearby.

D'oh!

Silver Crusade

Harlis: Just knowledge planes. Also, you have a move action remaining, if you wish to take it.

Wayreth: Let's presume that you used a charge of magic fang on yourself before combat started. Cool?

Wayreth's strike seems to have some effect on the smoke. Though his blow was powerful, the smoke seemed to ignore most of it.

I'm really sorry, guys, a contract attorney started early January and though he's not supposed to have any support staff, I'm doing an AWFUL lot of work for him, and by the time I get home I'm terribly exhausted. I'm so sorry for the delays.

Agnes will use her flame arc: 3d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 2, 6) + 2 = 16 into the smoke and see if that does anything. DC 15 reflex for half if it takes fire damage.

Silver Crusade

No worries, Agnes. Real life happens. :)

Agnes recognizes that the smoke creature tried to get into Harlis' lungs and solidify itself inside him!

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Agnes seems to be able to "burn away" a bit of the smoke--kind of like the way that sunlight burns off fog.

Provided the smoke has not entered into Harlis, Hotspur takes a shot at it. "I'm a bit of a one trick horse," she apologizes.

point blank ranged touch: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 1 + 1 = 21
damage: 1d12 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 6

Silver Crusade

The bullet does a tiny bit of damage to the smoke-thing.

The smoke recoils a bit. Seeing that this tactic (attempting to solidify itself in one of the party) isn't working, it begins to coalesce into something that resembles a demon--though it is not! (Your previously rolled knowlegde(planes) checks all failed, so you don't know what it is. However, you're experienced enough to recognize that this is an air elemental of some sort. Wayreth is correct: It is immune to crits, immune to precision damage, not subject to flanking, has DR 5/-.)

Swift Action: Coalesce in the square 5-feet above Harlis

Ethendril swings in one direction while the smoke moves in another. The older paladin seems to be having a hard time figuring out how to fight it.

Even so, his link with Harlis heals the cleric, while some of the life force ebbs from Ethendril.

+1 Greatsword (adamantine)(power attack): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 92d6 + 11 ⇒ (5, 2) + 11 = 18

Harlis struggles to look up at the creature hovering above him past the top rim of his helm. Judging it has him in a bad place he calls again upon Iomedae for healing and protection holding his shield up and the symbol of the goddess flashes with holy power.

Had no idea it was an elemental, but smoke generally lacks a discernable anatomy in any case. XD

Wayreth scowls as he flails at the smoke, hoping that his furious motions will serve to somehow dissipate the smoke before it choked his friends (or himself) to death!

Silver Crusade

The paladin, encouraged by the party's success, swings mightily. This time, however, he misses.

Harlis releases a burst of power from Iomedae.

Agnes tries more burninating: Reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14. She scorches the smokey creature real good.

Following up on Agnes' attack Wayreth flurries and lands a couple of solid strikes against the creature.

Ethendril can't seem to effectively combat the swirling smoke, turning this way and that but swinging his weapon ineffectively.

Treasure in the smoke creature's room: There's a withered and rent body to the northeast. Looks like she was one of the monastery’s clerics. The priest’s robes are rotten, but a pouch at her side still contains a scroll of cure critical wounds, a scroll of flame strike, a scroll of protection from energy, and a scroll of summon monster V.
____________________________________________________________

Next room: This space apparently served as the monastery’s kitchen. It appears to have been used recently, though the strange stains and smells don’t seem like they were created by preparing food. A cauldron of bubbling fluid sits atop a small fire burning in one of the fireplaces.

if we are playing PFS style then Agnes can use a few of the spells, otherwise it would be a cleric scroll from the looks. Harlis doesn't have Alchemy but he does have a wand of resist energy fully charged.

Sure...we can bypass the scrolls if it works better for WBL. I guess we take the next stairs.

Looking at the stairs and the pot Harlis recalls. "Are we under the belfry? We were told that was the lair of the mad alchemist, Pentosh. One of the lieutenants we seek."

Silver Crusade

Yep. You're heading up towards the belfry now.

You pass through another library. (F23) Tall bookcases fill this impressive chamber. The elaborate fresco on the ceiling depicts devotees of Irori in meditation. Wisps of incense wind through the scene like a fanciful ribbon of smoke.

The party searches carefully and finds a secret door. (F24) The iron door to this chamber is covered in complex sigils and runes painted in delicate black lacquer—a message repeated over and over in several languages, including Common: “Beware! Dark Oblivion Lies Within!”

Ethendril takes a moment to prepare himself before they enter the secret door, casting both protection from evil and divine favor.

"We should proceed cautiously...if anyone has any further preparations to make, do so now."

Once the others have prepared themselves and Wayreth checks the doors for traps, the paladin pushes the door open quietly.

A drone, like the sound of a vast wind, fills this room, yet the air is cold and still. A fifteen-foot square of arcane symbols is inscribed on the floor. Two five-foot-square areas of similar writing sit to the northeast and southeast of the larger one.

Above the larger square hovers what appears to be a vertical hole in reality—a window that looks out into a night sky in which only a few tiny stars are visible. The window itself is fifteen feet square, running from the north and south points of the symbol below. It’s suspended a foot off the ground, and comes within three feet of the ceiling above.

The two smaller squares of arcane symbols on the ground radiate strong transmutation magic.

DC 25 Spellcraft check:
they heighten magical effects focused on targets within the larger square

It kind of looks like there is a tree on the other side of the window in reality.
