Sajan's running leap is successful as he gracefully lands on the slippery rock and maintains his balance. Paiomi's blast of water splashes into the man on the rock with a fair amount of force, drenching him in the process.
As Sajan approaches the man on the rock pulls out a javelin and launches it in his location. While it flies in the general direction, it is position too high and sails overhead and behind him. Whatever is in the water doesn't move, staying beneath the web.

Naiomi follows up behind Sajan attempting to get closer to the man on the rock. seeing how critical this fight is, she digs deep into her energy reserves and moves at blistering speed.
She runs along the southern edge of the rocks, and as she approaches the gap to the man, she leaps like no other ninja could.
(to jump)
She sails across the gap landing on the rock with the man, as she tumbles to get behind him, while keeping her grip on the rocks.
(to avoid aoo)
(to stay on the rocks)
Naiomi sails through the air with practiced expertise as she lands on the rock adjacent to the man with the grace of a cat.
From out of the water, underneath the web crawls an obsense mass that looks like a blob crossed with a spider, ceaselessly lasting out with its hairy, wriggling legs.
calf .
It makes its way over and comes up out of the water behind Naiomi. Once in position. It lashes out at her, striking her calf .
The man on the rock, now flanking Naiomi, swings and perfectly buries his great axe into Naiomi's chest with great force .

Briefly shaking off her distraction, she gathers visible power in her hands and lets off another waterball at the man who just buried his axe into Naiomi. "I'll save you sis! What will old man Tsuyomi say when you come back scarred!"
"HA TAKE THAT YOU. YOU.... MEAN PERSON!!!" she shouts triumphantly.

Naiomi almost loses her lunch at the sight of such a creature. While distracted from its appearance she leaves herself open to attack from both side, taking blows from both the man and the creature. She lets out a scream of agony, pleaing for her sister's aid. "Something is wrong! I feel just like i did back in that dreadful dungeon!" she shouts, as she fights on with the last of her might.
If crit confirms, crit damage
Troyst hurls his dagger as the creature appears, but it is further than he expected and the dagger misses as it splashes into the water nearby. Trying to move through the webbed area doesn't work well for the brawler as he lands short of his goal into the webbing.
Both Paiomi and Naiomi land a hit against the man on the rock, the damage beginning to add up.
Sajan sees an opportunity to strike the man on the rock critically and seizes the opportunity. His furious punch is an inch away from the targets face when it strikes an invisible force that ripples all around the man and backlashes to Sajan, eating up all of his momentum and force. The shock of the force stuns him and causes him to temporarily lose all focus and concentration.
In rapid succession the ugly beast behind Naiomi lashes out three times at her, landing two of the blows. After striking the ninja the creature slides back 5' away into the water again
The man that Sajan struck takes note that the monk is stunned and able to properly defend himself. Without his quick reflexes the scarred face man lashes out at him with his greataxe and then piles on additional damage because of Sajan's state.
Multiple Doses of Poison
Unlike other afflictions, multiple doses of the same poison “stack,” meaning that successive doses combine to increase the poison’s DC and duration.
Making your initial saving throw against a poison means stacking does not occur—the poison did not affect you and any later doses are treated independently. Likewise, if a poison has been cured or run its course (by you either making the saves or outlasting the poison’s duration), stacking does not occur. However, if there is still poison active in you when you are attacked with that type of poison again, and you fail your initial save against the new dose, the doses stack. This has two effects, which last until the poisons run their course.
Increased Duration: Increase the duration of the poison by 1/2 the amount listed in its frequency entry.
Increased DC: Increase the poison’s DC by +2.
These increases are cumulative (a third dose adds another 1/2 of the frequency to the duration and +2 to the DC, and so on). When affected by multiple doses of the same poison, you only make one saving throw at this higher DC when required by the frequency, rather than one saving throw against each dose of the poison.
Troyst becomes entangled in the sticky web while Yukine deftly makes her way across the final gap. Landing the blow on the man at the same time that Sajan lands his second blow.
With her last strike the man on the rock falls, leaving only the hideous monster who has filled her body with poison remaining. The creature lashes out at her three more times, but this time only manages to strike her once .
Paiomi's splat attack slams into the creature and blasts off a large patch of skin, but it appears that it should have damaged the creature more than it actually did.
The first strike for Sajan hits, but barely any of the damage gets through its hard skin. Enough makes it through to stun the creature though, removing its ability to get away from melee range.

feeling the life force drawing out of her, Naiomi determines that she has given all she can to this fight, being the sole target of the wild beast behind her. She drops both her swords, her nunchaku, and strips her beltpack off quicker than a red head on prom night. She then withdraws and walks for what feels like forever, but appears to be about a total of 10'.
With a burst of strength Troyst finally does something and rips the webs off his body, shredding them in the process and breaking free of the sticky stuff.
Taking aim at the creature causing so much heartache he throws another dagger at it and hopes to secure victory for his team. Instead the dagger gets stuck in the web in front of his face and doesn't even travel 6 inches. Clearing his throat he says, "Keep going, I'm almost there!"
Once free he runs and jumps over the webbing and river to land on the rock near the stripping Naiomi. Giving her a second look curiously he whispers, "Hey I can help with that when this is over if you like..." before continuing on up to the monstrosity. He lunches forward and embeds a meaty fist into the oozy tentacle monster of Naiomi's dreams .
The tentacle monster lashes out three times at Yukine once it snaps out of its stunned state, but all three attempts miss. It's so sad that Naiomi abandoned it so it forgets to five feet away in the hopes she will come back for another taste.
With Yukine's final strike the oozy, disgusting monster slinks back into the depths below. Troyst scoops up the half-nekkid ninja Naiomi (HNNN) and offers to carry her out of the cavern.
Having defeated Tasutek the and the threat of the cult of Rovagug, the monks at Tar Kuata are now safe! The stoic Tar Kuata seems ready to celebrate the news of the cultists' defeat and Aeotsep warmly congratulates you on overcoming such a trial.
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.
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.
Enlightened Ambassador: Even in your short time at Tar Kuata, you have learned a few practical tricks from the Iroran monks. As a move action, you can enter a meditative trance that makes your senses more acute, your reflexes faster, and your mind more focused. The trance lasts for 1 hour, and you can end it (no action) at any point during this time to gain one of the following benefits: gain a +4 insight bonus on a saving throw against a mind-affecting effect, increase your speed by 10 feet for 1 round, or ignore concealment when making attacks for 1 round. When your trance ends, cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet.
Jeweled Recruiter (Scarab Sages faction): Your search for suitable stewards of the sage jewels has honed your ability to assess the character of others. Once per scenario before rolling a Sense Motive check, you can use this boon to gain a +2 insight bonus on the check. During any encounter with a creature that possesses a sage jewel but is not a member of the Jeweled Sages, you can cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet when attempting any one attack roll, skill check, initiative check, or caster level check to overcome spell resistance; roll the check twice and take the higher result. Alternatively, you can gain the same benefit against any creature Amenopheus or Tahonikepsu has explicitly identified as a candidate for joining the Jeweled Sages.
Tar Kuata Initiate: The monks of Tar Kuata have recognized your potential and offered to train you at their monastery for a minimal cost. When using the rules for retraining (Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Campaign 188), you treat all classes as though they had retraining synergy with the monk class; those that already have retraining synergy with the monk class instead reduce the number of days required to retrain any class level into a monk level by 1. A monk retraining a monk class archetype also reduces the time spent by 1 day for every alternate class feature gained or lost.
Finally, if you are a dwarf monk, you can cross this entire boon off your Chronicle sheet when retraining to gain the Ouat monk archetype (Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea Combat 41) for free. If any other archetypes you possess modify the same class feature as the Ouat archetype replaces, you lose those archetypes at no cost. Likewise, if an alternate dwarven racial trait modifies the same racial trait as the Ouat archetype, the archetype modifies that alternate racial trait instead.
