GM Blood's Age of Worms in Golarion
Game Master David James Olsen

The male cleric pulls out his dagger and continues the fight against Rowena, but seems like Rowena fighting style has thrown him off and is was off the mark with his attack.

Attack 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Damage 1d4 + 2 + 3d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + (5, 2, 2) = 13

The female cleric continues to use the wand to keep him alive

cure light wounds 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Trevor follows Rauno, running down the hallway. "All right!"

When Rauno reaches the edge of the balcony, he gives only an instance's glance down before he waves Trevor past him saying "Don't stop! My magic will ward your fall! Take the doors to the left!"

Rauno will delay, waiting for Trevor to run past. If Trevor leaps off the balcony, Rauno will use an immediate action to cast Feather Fall on Trevor. He will then use his turn to stow his crossbow and start to climb down from the balcony. He'll lower himself over the edge until he is hanging down from his outstretched arms and then let himself drop the last distance.

Rauno and Trevor If Trevor is willing to do do it, that is fine by me. Rauno will still want to do an acrobatics check for the fall.

"By the Goddess! Don't you mess it uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!" Trevor summons the courage he never showed in life, lifted by Iomedae's Grace and by the trust he has in his friends. He doesn't miss a beat and jumps off the balcony.

Round 13

Quintus holds until after Rowena and Kelkzar.

With a single arcane syllable, Rauno's spell slows Trevor's descent just enough to avoid harm, but he hits the ground still running.

GM, can I use a hero point to safely drop to the sand below, or can I only use it to modify the acrobatics roll?

In case it is still needed: Acrobatics to minimize fall damage 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Rauno With the sand the damage is only 1d3, but you can modify your acrobatics roll with a hero point if you wish to avoid that

I'll take the 1d3, thanks. I'm sure it won't be long before I need that HP anyway... :)

Damage from drop 1d3 ⇒ 2

Trip 1: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 4 = 8
Trip 2: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 7 - 4 = 23

Still fighting defensively, she takes the guy down on the second trip.

AoO if he gets up: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 3 - 4 = 3

Round 13

Kelkzar continues jabbing past Rowena with the longspear.
Attack Attack (Longspear, Judgement of Sacred Justice) 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 1 = 17
Damage (Longspear) 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

AoO if he gets up...
Attack (Longspear, Judgement of Sacred Justice) 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 1 = 24
Damage (Longspear) 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Quintus is up to finish the round

Round 13:

Unable to reach Rowena and alert to the possibility of magical attack, Quintus casts resistance on Kelkzar.

Forgot the guidance from last round, but it isn't going to make a difference unless I'm forgetting something else.

Kelkzar, nope you were still 2 short on your regular attack

The cleric rises to his feet taking a blow from Kelkzar, then attacks once more with his dagger, this time he connects with a wicked slash.

Dagger attack 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 *hit*
Damage 1d4 + 3 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + 3 + (2, 1, 2) = 12 Will DC 16 to reduce to 9 points

Confirm Dagger attack 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Extra Damage 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Healing from the female cleric 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

Round 14

Kelkzar groans as the female cleric heals the male yet again. Hope our cavalry arrives soon. Just then a perfect opening presents itself and he thrusts the spear past Rowena right into the cleric's chest.
Attack (Longspear, Judgement of Sacred Justice) 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 1 = 27
Damage (Longspear) 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Confirm (Longspear, Judgement of Sacred Justice) 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 = 25
Extra Damage for Confirmation 1d8 + 6 + 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 + (4) + 6 = 21
Finally! 30 points! (as long as Rowena doesn't do something new with him)

Trevor lets Rauno show him the way.

Trip 1: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 4 = 19
Disarm: 1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 5 - 4 = 17

Rowena sends his feet out from under him again, sends his weapon flying again (pending his AoO), and again fails to connect with anything once he's there.

AoO: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 3 - 4 = 14

Hitting the ground in a spray of sand, Rauno quickly scrambles to his feet and rushes forward. "This way..." he says to Trevor as he heads to and through the doors. Once through the doors, he pauses and points ahead for Trevor to engage.

Stand from prone and move to L13.

Rauno comes around the corner back into the battle just in time to see Rowena knock the male cleric off his feet once again and then knock the weapon out of his hand. Kelkzar then stabs him with a wicked blow. Despite that, the cleric still seems able to fight.

Round 14:

"Good hit! May Sarenrae guide your arm!" Quintus calls on divine inspiration for Kelkzar again. Casting guidance.

Trevor is up to finish out this round!

Trevor is just happy that Rauno had managed to bring him back to the right place. He bellows a war cry as he moves to engage the priests: "Iooooooomedaaaaaaaaeeeeee!"

Move 20 feet to M12.
1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 2 = 261d12 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 3 = 24

Trevor, I am going to assume the female cleric as the other would have cover from the corner.

Trevor comes around the corner and puts everything has has into his swing connecting fully with the female cleric as she turns to face him. She goes down in a bloody mess. The last cleric standing or in this case prone growls and no longer having allies decide to channel negative energy.

Damage 3d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 2) = 8 Everyone make a Will Save DC 16 for half

M11. The other one has cover, right.

Round 15

Will save 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Well, at least the priest avoided another crit

Kelkzar waits for Trevor to move in behind the priest and then stabs at him again. This time he catches the priest on his armor and the spear point clangs away harmlessly.
Attack (Longspear, Judgement of Sacred Justice, Flank) 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 14
Damage (Longspear) 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Saw that coming.

Will save, DC 16: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Unholy power burns through the cleric. Forgive me my weakness, Lady, and help me be strong.

Will save 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Battered by the wave of evil that washed over him, Rauno is left with an ashen complexion and shallow breathing. Believing another such assault will slay him outright, Rauno staggers away to the combat to deal with his wounds.

Single move action to I18, no standard action due to staggered condition.

Will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
He shouldn't have too many of those, since it looks like he was doing something to channel that energy into his melee attacks.

The priest didn't draw another weapon and is still prone? Big mistake! :D

Rowena reaches out for the priest, this time trying to grab his holy symbol.

Disarm 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Rowena grabs the symbol, snapping the chain from around the priest's neck. She cries out as the unholy symbol burns in her hands, before she flings it after the two flails and dagger.

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12
His armour continues to confound her direct attacks, however.

Will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

"Iomedae save me!" Trevor shivers violently as the dark energy caresses his soul. His jaw sets as he wills his axe up and steps forward to slash at the last cleric, as he obviously present a clear threat even on his butt.

PA: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 = 191d12 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 3 = 23

Quintus is remaining

Round 15:

Quintus straightens and holds up his hand, using the last of the healing energies granted him that day before addressing the foe.

Channel energy to heal, exempting the Kuthonite cleric: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7 Everyone is healed that much except the cleric and Rauno. Sorry about that, but I understand you not wanting to stick around.

"Lay down your weapons and surrender! Sarenrae's mercy is great."

...except...Rauno. Sorry about that, but I understand you not wanting to stick around.

Completely understand! In hindsight, I probably should have delayed until after you, but I don't have much to contribute to finishing him off anyway.

"Lay down your weapons and surrender! Sarenrae's mercy is great."

"I shall never surrender! The Overgod shall claim all of your souls!"

The cleric crawls over to Trevor Square and grabs the cure light wounds wand Not sure if grabbing the wand laying there counts as an action, but assuming so

Everyone threatening can take an AoO then its your turn

AoO

"Very well, may one of the Empyreals take mercy on you and deliver you from your dark god." Shaking his head at the unrepentant cleric, Kelkzar stabs at him again with the longspear.
Attack (Longspear, Judgement of Sacred Justice, Flank, Power Attack, Destructive Smite) 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 + 2 - 1 = 24
Damage (Longspear, Power Attack, Destructive Smite) 1d8 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 9 + 1 = 12

Attack: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 2 = 20
"Here's my sole. You can have it!"

Rowena stomps down on his face.
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Fort save DC 14 or be stunned

Then normal attack.
1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 2 = 22
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Disarm on the wand (if he managed to get it): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

With Trevor where he is, it looks like Kelkzar and Rowena get flanking bonuses.

"Your Overlord... IS OVER!!!"

AoO minus furious focus with flank: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 211d12 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 3 = 20

Trevor, Rowena, and Kelkzar hit the Zon Kuthon leader ending the defense of the temple.

Combat (finally) Over. Good job everyone!

Whew! That was quite the set of fights.

Kelkzar breathes a deep sigh of relief, "At last! That was quite a difficult group entrenched here. Shall we see what else may be in their lair?"

More detailed post on everything you find tomorrow, but as you scout the temple you find in the back room....

A human female is here chained up to the wall. She has clearly been beaten and tortured by the Zon Kuthon cultists, but some of her wounds look freshly healed, perhaps by magic. Strangely a cat is curled up next to her feet and rises purring when you enter.

Take it away Jirin

Rowena, once the cleric is dead, rushes to Lessien's body, but already knows what she will find. She does what she can to arrange her with more dignity, closing her eyes if they're open.

Then she heads to the male cleric, carefully removes his helm, then viciously kicks him in the side of the head a few times. With that, she excuses herself from the group for a moment to compose herself, and joins in on the search of the temple, refusing eye contact with anyone.
