Moving us along
Shoalo dodges away from Nester and makes his way to the fishtank, intent on escaping. Dodging chairs and tables as he moves, he makes his way around. Double move to withdraw, moves avoiding AoOs.
Nester moves to engage the woman. "I'll hold her off, stop him!" As he moves in, he manages a slight lunge against her, drawing a light wound.
Ulionestia summons a pool of grease to slow pursuit as she herself moves out from behind the bar.

Wuse starts grabbing bottles blindly and shoving them in his sack. He does a little jig as he does this, obviously overjoyed at his apparent good luck.
Astarton, I don't know if you can see the map but you are in a perfect position to interpose yourself between the enemy dude and the tank. feel free to do whatever you want though, Wuse sure is.

Talor reloads his pistol using a paper cartridge, then focuses his attention on hearing and/or smelling the location of the escaping Shoalo (using up close and deadly deed), and fires.
attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1
deed damage (half applied if shot misses): 1d6 ⇒ 4

When I last looked at the map, it didn't look like that. Yeah, move me to intercept the guy bandit instead please.
Male Demigawd Nerd 5, Dungeon Master 6, RPGA GM 2, PFS GM 1
As Wuse proceeds to blindly fumble about for the best feeling bottles stashed behind the counter (a task his is already practiced at it would seem), Astarton moves about to intercept the escaping con.
Ahrmisa lashes out with her spear, going through Nester's tunic and coming back bloodied tip.
Talor lets out a shot at the azlant woman, scoring a hit even with his blindness. The shot seems to stun the woman from behind, a near lethal blow. She's disabled.

Talor was shooting at Shaolo, not Ahrmisa.
Jericho moves up behind Shaolo with a nearly bestial sounding growl, ducking and trying to keep Shaolo from being able to attack him as he moves. Once he is behind Shaolo, he swings his morningstar in a crushing blow at the gillman.
Acrobatics to move through a threatened space with no AoO: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 2 = 18.
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8.

Acrobatics to move through a threatened space with no AoO: 1d20+2.
Attack: 1d20+2+2.
Damage: 1d8+2.
Updated damage. Also since you failed the check Jericho, you stopped and provoked when trying to leave the square. So you won't get flanking bonus. On the other hand, it hit.
Jericho moves up and dodges a close blow by Shoalo before taking his own bludgeon and dropping the gillman, the artifact clattering under the nearby table.

Are we waiting on anyone?
Male Demigawd Nerd 5, Dungeon Master 6, RPGA GM 2, PFS GM 1
Nester once again attempts to defensively strike the gillman woman, but fails to do so.
Ulionestia summons a web in the area to impede progress while she steps forward preparing to snatch the artifact. DC14 on Web. The Webbing is the orange area, while the artifact is the sunburst.
Round 3
Daniel (Detect Evil) (Blinded 4 rounds - 3/4)
Talor (Shoots Ahrmisa, hit) (Blinded 4 rounds - 3/4)

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Astarton steps forward through the webs with ease and brings his sword to bear. "I thought we had something!" He says with legitimate woe. His heart is still not in it to strike her though, and snatches up the artifact instead.
Swift action Arcane Strike, Move Action out of web, Move action to secure the artifact.

Round 4 (I'll go ahead and post this for after Ahrmisa's action)
Buoyed by his success firing blind, Talor reloads and tries it again.
attack vs touch AC: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6
miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 94
Maybe I should be shooting blind ALL the time...
Male Demigawd Nerd 5, Dungeon Master 6, RPGA GM 2, PFS GM 1
While Wuse continues shoving bottles into his bag, Astarton manages to step out of the web and secure the artifact. Ahrmisa cursese, "Ulionestia, stop him!" She brings her spear up to smash Nester, but the appraiser sidesteps the blow.
As she prepares to strike again, Talor's shot takes her in the back, dropping her. Even as it happens, Wuse Talor's, and Daniel's vision starts to clear.
Round 3

Jericho steps forward and growls, Surrender, or die!
Ready action to attack if she fails to surrender.
Male Demigawd Nerd 5, Dungeon Master 6, RPGA GM 2, PFS GM 1
Ulionestia ignores Jericho's words and begins casting a spell. Jericho bashes the gillman caster as she does, but she maintains focus and finishes her spell, attempting to daze the mind of Jericho before diving into the water.
Okay, Jericho needs to make a DC12 save to avoid Daze. If you succeed, you can make an AoO. Astarton can make one anyway. Chance to stop her.

I can't actually. I have a two handed weapon, and something in one of my hands that isn't a weapon.

Will save I assume?
Will Save Vs. Daze: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19.
Jericho shrugs off the spell with contempt, Very well. Jericho swings again as the woman attempts to flee.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21.
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9.

That hit won't end well.
As he sees his vision start to clear Wuse makes one final grab at a bottle and then rushes out from behind the bar.
Male Demigawd Nerd 5, Dungeon Master 6, RPGA GM 2, PFS GM 1
Jericho smashes his morningstar into Ulionestia as she bolts for the water, dealing a powerful strike but not enough to stop her. She manages to dive into the water and begins to swim down.
If you want to still give chase, let me know, otherwise say so.
Male Half-Elf Level 2 Bard (Arcane Duelist) | HP 19/19 | AC 17 | T 14 | FF 13 | CMD 16 | Fort +2 | Ref +7 | Will +3 | Init +6 | Perc +6 | Sense Motive -1
Astarton, slightly heartbroken says as the fleeing girl with green eyes swims away, "Goodbye beautiful. Fate has separated us, perhaps someday it will bring us back together."
Male Human Alchemist 2 [hp 20/20] [AC 16, touch 13 flat-footed 13] [Fort +5, Ref +5, Will +1] [Perception +5]
Jericho makes an attempt to grab the woman as she dives away, but misses. For a moment he stares into the water, then turns to Nester.
Are you hurt?
Male Demigawd Nerd 5, Dungeon Master 6, RPGA GM 2, PFS GM 1
"A minor wound is all, easily healed with some rest. More importantly, it appears we saved the relic. Even with the gillman's escape, still a job well done." Nester takes a seat at the table while everyone gathers. "It appears we have been deceived. How would you all like to proceed from here?"
Male Dwarf Gunslinger (Pistolero) 1.2 HP 12/12 | Grit 2/2 | AC 15 / 13 t / 12 ff | F+4 R+5 W+2 | Perc +6
I do not suppose we should attempt to track gillmen through water. Do we have a good option besides returning to Absalom, friends?
Talor finds his mug of ale still on the table and takes a sip.
Male Half-Elf Level 2 Bard (Arcane Duelist) | HP 19/19 | AC 17 | T 14 | FF 13 | CMD 16 | Fort +2 | Ref +7 | Will +3 | Init +6 | Perc +6 | Sense Motive -1
Astarton lets out a laden sigh. "I suppose not. If there is no trade, then there is no reason to stay."
Male Demigawd Nerd 5, Dungeon Master 6, RPGA GM 2, PFS GM 1
"Then back to Absalom we go, friends." The return to Absalom is easily accomplished by ship Nester coming into contact with a Pathfinder agent in Escadar to arrange passage. Venture-Captain Dreng apologizes for sending you on a fool's errand but commends you fro preventing the Society's enemies from gaining control of the true Azlanti artifact.
And with that, the adventure is over. I'll continue the discussion in the discussion thread.
