Jorah is always levitating 6in because of his Lure of the Heavens revelation and ignores difficult terrain so I don't believe the web should affect him?
@Saarai: Human. @Savage: You are early, it is not yet your turn. @Jorah: That sounds fine to me.
Saarai moves in and brings the room into darkness! I've added a template on the map. Those of you without darkvision can not see in the shaded areas. It will move around with Saarai.
Tasutek laughs at Saarai and mutters to something heretofore unseen in the water as he begins casting a spell.
Saarai and darkvision people:
From the water emerges an obscene mass that looks like a melted blob crossed with a spider, ceaselessly lashing out with its hairy, wriggling legs.
You are horrified by its constantly sprouting and waving insectile legs, becoming sickened for 1d6 rounds unless you succeed at a DC 13 Will save.
It closes in on Saarai and tries to bite her!
bite:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 damage:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 DC 14 Fort save or take 1d2 ⇒ 1 Str damage (1/rnd for 4 rounds; cure 2 consecutive saves)

Ugh, what is that thing? August suddenly looks like he'll be Sick!:1d6 ⇒ 3 rounds. Regardless, he moves to attack!

"Nasty!" Saarai yells as the creature moves from the water.
She immediately tries to tumble past the creature, risking an attack to try to get closer to the cultist. trying to tumble through threatened area
Finally, casts snowball at the human, hoping to disrupt his spell.

acrobatics:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
ranged touch attack:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15Should not have a dex bonus because of the darkness, in which case I've rolled an extra d6 for sneak attack below.
snowball:3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 4) = 71d6 ⇒ 4If it hits, 11 dmg total and DC 15 Fort save or be staggered.
Though Castiel can see the bloblike creature he doesn't seemed scared of it. He advances closer and signals Betsy to swim across the lake and attack the man on the island.
As soon as Argust steps into the cavern, Tasutek aims his spell at the dwarf. DC 15 Will save or held (paralyzed for 5 rounds-can take a full-round action to try a new save each round)
Fort:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Saarai leaps back from the creature and sends a snowball flying out of the darkness at the high priest!
Castiel moves in and orders Betsy to swim beneath the webs to get to the man on the rock. She is able to avoid the webs but the toxic water here irritates her skin instantly:
acid damage:1d6 ⇒ 5
Initiative:
1. Saarai
2. Tasutek (11 dmg, staggered)
3. Jorah, Professor F, Savage, Castiel, and August
Jorah sees the monstrosity emerge and almost feels sick to his stomach, but is able to hold it down. As he floats by over the water and webs, he wracks his memory, trying to remember something about the creature.
Double moving. Castiel, if you can not put Betsy directly in front of the baddie and put her to the side I would appreciate it.

Will:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18August resists the effect and will stay in the fight!
Jorah moves in, calling out to his allies with Professor F's input that the creature battling in the darkness is a thognorok glippoth, considered servitor qlippoth of Rovagug. Cold iron or lawful weapons are required to fully damage them; they are immune to cold and resist most elements. They also resist spells.
Ref:1d20 + 0 ⇒ (13) + 0 = 13 1d4 ⇒ 2
Professor F sends a blast that blinds the qlippoth! Savage starts a spell and sends his raptor in! The qlippoth senses something coming near and lashes out at it blindly!

There is a black square on the map to my immediate left...is that revealed now that I am close to it?
Saarai moves closer to the priest and fires an arrow at the priest from the darkness. However, at the last moment, she slips on the slimy rocks at the lake's edge.
@Saarai: that wasn't so much a fog-of-war as just covering up the map legend so that you wouldn't know what the monster was until someone made the knowledge check.
Jorah angers the priest as Saarai's arrow flies out of the darkness to clatter on the far side of the cavern.
Initiative:
1. Saarai
2. Tasutek (11 dmg, rage 4 rounds) and qlippoth (10 dmg, blind 1 round)
3. Jorah, Professor F, Savage, Castiel, and August
Savage will move up and finish summoning a mud elemental and begin summoning again. The mud elemental will swim up and then earth glide up behind the bbeg.
"A Qlippopotamus? No, no. That's not right. Ah, yes! A Qlippoth! Nasty thing, that creature. Try not to get bitten and your brains sucked out and all that..."
Waving his hand matter-of-factly, the Professor implores Brigh for a little more help, this time in the form of a sound burst affecting the odd creature.
Castiel strikes at the blobthing with his large blade, whilst Betsy lands a shore, does a quick shake to get the acidic water off of her, and steps forward to bite the man.

August moves across the rock, avoiding the web! The evil priest laughs as the spell takes effect. He raises his greataxe and swings it in a great arc at Jorah!

August moves to attack the man that felled one of his new friends! I believe this is the last round I'll be sickened.
"For this I will have your head" Savage yells as his friend Jorah falls to the ground lifeless
Finishing the summon spell Savage will then cast shillelagh on his club and move up
Stormtooth will move up toward the bbeg
The mud elemental will earth PWatk and flank with August

dmg:1d4 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11+
Entrap DC12Fort:
creature has an ability that restricts another creature’s movement, usually with a physical attack such as ice, mud, lava, or webs. The target of an entrap attack must make a Fortitude save or become entangled for the listed duration. If a target is already entangled by this ability, a second entrap attack means the target must make a Fortitude save or become helpless for the listed duration. The save DCs are Constitution-based. A target made helpless by this ability is conscious but can take no physical actions (except attempting to break free) until the entrapping material is removed. The target can use spells with only verbal components or spell-like abilities if it can make a DC 20 concentration check. An entangled creature can make a Strength check (at the same DC as the entrap saving throw DC) as a full-round action to break free; the DC for a helpless creature is +5 Greater than the saving throw DC. Destroying the entrapping material frees the creature.
newly summoned lightning elemental will try to disarm the bbeg. This will provoke and AoO
disarm:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22
August swings and misses! Savage's mud elemental lands a sticky blow on the priest though! Betsy then finishes the priest off!
Out of combat!
Having defeated Tasutek and the threat of the cult of Rovagug, the monks at Tar Kuata are now safe, although their safety has come at a dire price: the life of your companion Jorah.
The monks offer to carry his body back to the village in condolences with your loss and out of appreciation for rescuing them.
The stoic Tar Kuata seems ready to celebrate the news of the cultists' defeat, although the celebrations are stifled at the sight of your fallen companion. Aeotsep warmly congratulates you on overcoming such a trial and offers to help in any way he can with Jorah's recovery.
Itephta and Menkha formally transfer their Sky Key component to the Pathfinder Society. Itephta also gives you a sealed letter to deliver to the Society, extending his compliments and friendship. Itephta also offers you honorary admission to the monastery, should you wish to continue your studies.
One of the local clerics of Irori offers to cast a gentle repose spell on Jorah free of cost for your efforts in helping them. If you have the money to raise him now, he can do that immediately, otherwise you'll have to take him back to the city first, hence the gentle repose.
When you present Venture-Captain Norden Balentiir with both the newly found piece of the Sky Key and the letter of praise from the monastery's leader, he praises you for a job well done. He arranges to have a ship take him and several other agents to Absalom so that he might ensure the relic arrives safely. Acknowledging that additional security is always appreciated, he welcomes any of you who wish to join him.
That's it for the scenario! Thank you everyone for playing, I hope you enjoyed it. Please see the Discussion thread soon concerning Jorah's raise. At this level I am guessing that he will need some help in raising and I will need to note your contributions (if any) on your chronicles before I send them out.
