Trunau is truly a town on the frontier. The frontier between the world of Humans, Elves, Dwarfs and the like and the world of Orcs and Giants. It will take a brave and hardy group of adventurers to defend Trunau and the region from what is about to come.

"I thought we were supposed ta be fightin' giants 'n orcs, no... Ragnir gestures, waving a hand derisively at the Twigjacks, shrubbery! He walks to Kaos and Haskyll, making sure the plant men are out of range, and channels Torag's holy energy, "Forged in battle, saved by the will o' the Forgemaster."
Then attempts to understand the nature of the written text in the doors.

"I be justa look'n fer me brutha," Ingrahild say. But then smiles, "I wouldn't a mind o' kill'n some Orcses and Giantses." She briefly winces as the Dwarf Ranger pulls a splinter out of her left breast that had passed through small gaps in the chains of her armor. "But aye. Thank ye fer the heal'n."

I'm all for killing orcs and Giants, but can we skip the gardening next time. he winces as he pulls a nasty splinter out of his .... Ouch.
Thanks for the healing is there a chance I could get a little more. 28/59
"More than enough. Thanks Haskyll" thanks Leira to the dwarf "I guess we have to keep moving"
After finishing the door examination, and with her friends once again ready for the action, Leira pushes open the doors, trying to be as stealthy as possible, and examining whatever is found beyond.

When Leira opens the door, she sees an extensive wooden bridge that stretches across a wide, high chamber and overlooks an exotic garden far below. The air is hot and humid, and a powerful stench of overripe vegetation wafts throughout the massive, domed chamber. The ceiling overhead is a complex series of star-patterned glass that magnifies the rays of the sun directly above. At the far end of the bridge, interwoven branches form a doorway.
The bridge is also made of ironwood, 15 feet wide without railings, and runs the length of the greenhouse. The bridge is about 80 feet above greenhouse floor. It is about 80 feet up to the glass domed ceiling. It is really hot in the greenhouse.
K. nature:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
"This is weird" says Leira while looking at the sky "The sun seems not moving. This place is odd and weird. I do not like it."
The girl closes to the bridge and carefully inspects it before crossing.
Perception (take 20; +1 vs traps):20 + 12 = 32
If bridge is clean:
Leira makes a sign to the rest of the group telling them it is secure and carefully advances through the bridge. Once at the other side she checks the new door.
Perception (take 20; +1 vs traps):20 + 12 = 32
If clean, again, she carefully opens the door.
Coming from under the bridge, two tiny creatures attack the party while you are crossing. One in the front and one in the back. They each wield daggers, and they are invisible.
Both Haskyll and Leira are flat-footed and were struck by these creatures with the flyby attack feat. Their daggers were dipped with a poison. Both Haskyll and Leira must make a DC17 Fort Save. The initial effect is the loss of 1 point of strength.
The creatures are invisible in the total light of the greenhouse. They are also very stealthy. No one had a high enough perception check to have been able to detect them before their attacks. Even then these creatures remain invisible in the total light of the greenhouse. However, their translucent flapping wings can be noticed allowing you to attack with just a 20% miss chance.
Please review your status for accuracy. Thanks. This will be a challenge. Flyby attack rules are a bit ambiguous. I treat them that the monster can attack as a part of its move action, but cannot take another action. I think you should be able to get an attack of opportunity, so Leira and Haskyll gets an AoO (20% miss chance).

Damn pixis, or sprites, or meybe gremlins. Bah ah don't know, but they are nasty.
Can I force missile them? I believe you have to see a target to use it If not Anga will use a scroll of shield on herself
@Anga - This maybe the only downside to the Magic/Force missiles. If you can see the target, you automatically hit. If you can't, you automatically miss. Now if your spell requires a Range Touch attack, and if you get past the 20% concealment miss chance, then you have a chance to hit it. Area effect spells are always good in this situation. Does anyone else see this differently?
As the party passes through the ironwood flower, and crosses the ironwood bridge, you are assaulted by invisible dagger wielding creatures. They do not become visible, even after they attack. One cuts into Leira at the front of the party. The other slices Haskyll at the back of the party.
Ingrahild, hears the flapping of wings, she puts up her Dwarven Waraxe and draws her bow.
Before the rest of the party can react, the invisible creatures spin around and fly back attacking the Rogue Arcanist and the Dwarf Cleric again.
Kaos thinks about the creatures attacking the party, but does not recollect anything. (You needed ranks in Knowledge Nature.) The big human brings up a Shield as he moves to guard the badly injured Leira.
Ragnir stands ready to strike one of the tiny creatures should one flies near.
Anga pulls out a scroll and adds a magic Shield to her defences.
Leira tries to fire back at the assailant, but the pain of her injuries was too severe to target the tiny creature. She tries to move to the middle of the party. Leira also loses one point of strength and must try to save again in Round Two.
Ulfgard also prepares to strike should one of these creatures fly near.
Haskyll moves to the center of the party. He ask and receives powerful healing. His Dwarf blood resists the poison from the creature's dagger.
The two creatures appear to be calling out to one another.
Aklo:
"Are you injured? The creature that attacked Haskyll ask. Yes. But we must stop these intruders before they damage the garden. I will blind the bow wielding Dwarf. You blind the big human."
The one that struck Leira flies a little further back and tries to Blind Ingrahild. The other flies a little back and tries to blind Kaos.
Both Ingrahild and Kaos must make a DC 16 Fort Save or receive the Blinded condition.

Ingrahild fires her shortbow. It badly misses, falling into the dense vegetation below. But her second shot was a solid strike.
Wounded by Ingrahild's arrow, the tiny creature tries to blind the Dwarf Ranger. But Ingrahild resisted the attempt. The other tiny creature tries to do the same against Kaos, but the big human also was able to resist the attempt.
Kaos takes a step to the bridge's edge and pours forth a fan of flames at the invisible creature. Though a little singed the tiny creature was able to move above the full effect of the Burning Hands spell.
Leira, Haskyll, Ragnir and Ulfgard can take actions in Round Two since neither creature attempted another dagger strike. These creatures, though not genius they are very smart. They likely will not attack someone who appears ready to counter strike. If you can't move your token, then let us know where you would like to position your character. (Correction: The previous status should have started Surprise Round and Round One.)

After wasting his turn for an attack that never happened Ulfgard moves to the other side to block access to Ingrahild and leira, giving those two opportunities to attack with spells and ranged weapons. He knows he is not good enough with a bow to hit one of this tiny aggressors.
If they don´t attack if I ready, well they have to resort to spells and we have more spellslingers.

Ragnir reaches out and touches Leira on the shoulder, calling on Torag's aid, "Easy on yer feet there, lass, ye'll no bein' knocked off yer feet just yet. Torag is no done wi' th' forgin' of yer life."
Ragnir reaches out and touches Leira. A wave of healing flows through the Rogue Arcanist.
Leira's Strength damage:1d3 ⇒ 1
Leira Does take one additional point of strength damage. After the initial failed save, each subsequent failed save does 1d3 points of strength damage. The duration is 6 rounds. It only takes one made saving throw to end the effect.
Strength drains from Leira as a poison courses through her body. But the determined Rogue Arcanist wills her way through the weakness and hits the southernmost tiny creature with an arrow.
Ulfgard position himself in a defensive position to protect the spellcasting Anga and bow-wielding Ingrahild.

With the failed attempt to blind the female Dwarf, Ingrahild sends more arrows at the northernmost tiny creature. She thinks she hit with the first arrow. She knows she missed with the second shot.
Though you can't see this, the first tiny creature smiles at the Dwarf Ranger Barbarian's challenge and swoops in an erratic circular motion to attempt to strike a vital area.
Leira fills the power of her companions divinity going through her skin. She feels grateful, she feels renewed and part of the group. She cannot fail them, the girl feels the pressure to keep shooting at the flying creatures.

"They might follow us and attack at the worst of the moments. What do you want to do? I fear we might be cornered by these and other defences. I say keep fighting" shouts back Leira while she tries to keep fighting.

Haskyll touches Leira's shoulder and provide greater resistance to the poison flowing through her body and sapping her strength.
Round Three
Ingrahild launches an arrow at the northernmost tiny creature. The arrow strikes, but the Dwarf Ranger is uncertain that it harmed the small winged threat, "What ina dev'l are these things."
The northernmost tiny creature makes an invisible flyby attack against Ulfgard, cutting into the Dwarf Ranger Barbarian.
The southernmost one does the same thing to Kaos, just missing a critical artery on the big human.
Kaos completely missed the tiny creature as it approached, and barely missed as it departed.
Ragnir readies for an attack. He also provides additional protection for Leira.
Anga stands ready to strike should one come near.
With strength failing her, Leira musters enough energy to strike solidly the southernmost flying threat.
Ulfgard swings wildly with Agrimmosh. His attack was not even close to striking the tiny creature.
Haskyll again touches Leira. But this time healing energies fully heals her wounds.
