"Right, now here's an elixer that turns them back to flesh, with that profane extra."
A hand stretches out with a flask that looks hot, but is cool to the touch. "Good luck with your endeavors. I'll be watching....great grand nephew...."
Kenji finds a small second flask, the size of a small ink vial, with a dark liquid, in his pocket.
--------------------------
The medusa isn't where she was before, nor is the last bandit.
Instead, there is some soft musing coming from the passage ahead.
Were it not for it being from a medusa, one would usually like to see who sang so lovely.
As Kenji thinks of how to administer the elixer, his hand moves on his own, as if guided by the flask itself, releasing a few drops on each of his friends.
It takes several seconds, but they slowly turn back to their normal forms.
Kenji speaks very quietly to them, "Welcome back to the land of the living. We should proceed with great caution, as there is a woman here who has snake hair and can turn people to stone. Don't meet her gaze... again. She has very attractive toes... watch her toes."

"-ly woman.", Vassago finishing his statement that seemed to be days in the making.
Looking around, he almost collapses as his skin and muscles feel awkward. "Aye carumba...", a woosy Vassago standing back up. Upon Kenji's statement he nods. "I guess that couldn't be any worse that her face.", the normally romantically-dispositioned ifrit not having a positive reaction to his memory of the snake-woman's visage.

I can´t convince Alacorto to see someone toes. I´m don´t even know who te tell him about toes. Besides, he´s feeling badly for the prevoius attack, but before... Then she goes to Alacorta, whispers something at his ear and picks her amulet.
Alacorta agrees to lend this to you, Kenji, until you met again. Please pick it, Keera ends giving him andAmulet of mighty fists. +1
Then Alacorta bows his head and flies away, back to the village.
After final preparations, you enter the passage.
It goes for just 20 feet, but it ends at the foot of a 25 feet deep chasm, the bottom littered with unlabeled flasks.
A 15 feet long bridge crosses the chasm. The bandit from earlier is pacing near a stairs, leading to one of the biggest treasure hoards you've seen yet.
A elevated part lies ahead, 15 feet above ground level.
Left upper part.
Perception 25:
Something about the bridge is 'off', something's not right about it.
A collapse?
The bandit who escaped is slowly walking back and forth, but keeps his eyes focused on the ground. The medusa is himming a tune.
Perception bandit:1d2 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 7 - 4 = 4 Perception medusa:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21 Stealth will be a problem, she'll hear Sele's armor for sure.
The bandit is unaware, but the medusa's eyes are aimed at the party, back in the flesh.
--------------------
Medusa: "What...how, how did you get rid of my petrification?"
Bandit: "They're back? Does the half-devil guy know magic? :/"
Kenji keeps his eyes lowered, and so doesn't notice anything amiss with the bridge... but he doesn't trust it as it's a choke point too easy to rig to fall now that the bandit is across it. he starts getting out his rope.

I´ll miss him, but he´s not safe against a medusa
Perception:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30
Keera notices something strange in the bridge and whispers it to her friends. The bridge is not ok. There can be a collapse. Push her over it.

Vassago steps up, outside of the medusa's lethal visage. "Maybe some water would moisturize that scaly skin.", Vassago jokes as he still cautiously averts his eyes.
Using the Extended Range infusion for free ala Infusion Specialization Water blast @ medusa:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 Miss chance > 20 is hit:1d100 ⇒ 61 Damage on hit:3d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 3, 3) + 7 = 18
well then, I guess he'll try to jump the chasm, taking a nice long running start... it looks on the map like its about 12-15'.. so here goes nothing...
Before jumping, he'll drop his rope of climbing and say "That's a rope of climbing, it might help the rest of you get across the chasm... otherwise just blast em from here."
Rather 5 feet to start, diagonally. The thick grey lines are the walls of the chasms. But going straight south, you make it.
Rope of climbing needs a point to secure itself, doesn't it.
This cave is annoying for it, as the only objects suitable are in the 'living quarters' to the south east. I wonder what the designers had in mind about that. :/
Sele doesn't quite spot the weakness, but Keera's word is adequate a warning.
--------------------
The bandit takes aim and shoots at Kenji.
Feint bluff:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10No effect. Shot:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 231d8 ⇒ 4
He hits for a meager 4.
--------------------
Keera

Keera looks fixedly at Sele as she makes him fly. Fly spell gives you a +2 to fly, is not a lot but you don´t need to check if you move at least half your movement without turn. You know, like if you charge her.
Don´t mess with the bridge Sele, Go for her!!! shouts Keera. Obviously angry for having been turn into a statue.

It comes with the feather subdomain. It costs 5 PPs, but looks handy
"Señora, i have been too careful harming women, but you will not get the gentle treatment." Gentle with women.....now where was that again... :P
Washy blast vs snake lady:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 172d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 = 10
His blast hits the medusa, who hisses after being hurt.
She takes aim, and fires twice at Kenji, before slithering 5ft back, attempting to gain some cover against the ranged attacks from the other side.
The thicker grey lines indicate the elevated ground.
While charging is legit during flight, the 20 feet speed prevents a successful charge here.
But from what i understand, it's as easy as walking through air, regarding movement.
Ahh, your note in discussion said concealment, not total concealment, so I got that confused. Noted for the future :)
You are totally right, i was ahead of myself, thinking you'd make an attack while looking away from her entirely. Melee/ranged...
Kenji, can you make a % roll to hit her, as you are averting your eyes from her.
21 + = good, and you risk only 50% to have to make a save vs petrification, now that you are within 30 feet.
Likewise for our brave paladin.
The attack would be a hit, if it goes according to plan.
Sele closes distance.
---------------
The bandit sees the two dash past him.
"This wasn't how things were supposed to go."
He shoots at the attackers on the other side of the chasm, trusting his boss to deal with the two just now.
1 Keera 2 Vassago:1d2 ⇒ 1 Bluff:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7No effect Shot:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 101d8 ⇒ 4
The bandit takes a shot, but the tension of combat makes him shoot way above Keera.
---------------
Keera

Is not like I´ll need more light here, and a some elementals will help us Thinks Keera as she starts summoning some nature allies. Sacrificing Dayligh for 1d3 earth elementals. Let´s see if she turn earth in stone.
She can, actually. :D
Unless you speak Terran, they will only attack her to their best ability, which doesn't include averting their eyes.
So expect to be rolling fort vs petrification as long as they start their turns within 30 feet of her.
Could you make an outlining, of where the 1d3 will pop up, thanks.
Keera starts summoning earth elementals.
As you're going for 1d3, they are small.
-----------------------------------
I've moved you, as the walls of the elevated plateau were blocking view.
Vassago washes Kenji and Sele's scalps, as his water blast flies a little too high.
-----------------
Medusa withdraws up the stairs, to near some tapestry, or curtain maybe?
-----------------
Kenji & Sele
Be wary of the ever risk of petrification when getting near her. :)
May Kenji's relative's bonus save your hides. :)
-----------------
Bandit
-----------------
Keera
Sele walks up into the air, 15 feet, before reaching the plateau.
Save? 51+ is safe:1d100 ⇒ 44 Fort roll vs petrify, 1 time profane bonus:1d20 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 3 = 28
He resists her gaze, and starts moving closer.
Medusa: "Ironhead! Come out and defend me!"
The curtain slides aside, as a metal fist shoves it aside, and Kenji and Sele see a golem stand at the ready.
He's starting off the next round.
This is a medium sized golem.
----------------
Bandit is trying to pick a target, although Vassago shoots, the spell casting of Keera has him somewhat worried.
Bluff vs Keera:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15No effect. Shot:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 211d8 ⇒ 2
Keera, you need to make a DC 15 concentration check, or you lose the spell. (10 +2 dmg +3 spell lvl)
-----------------
Keera
Kn. Arcana 15:
This is an iron golem, albeit a smaller version.
They are somewhat resistant to physical attacks, requiring adamantine weapons to deal full damage. DR 5/adamantine.
3-4 is sadly the gap in my character coverage and I just pledged my level 2 to another adventure.
If you're okay with having a complete and total liability of a fresh level 1 Fighter at the table I'll join in otherwise I'll just give this a BUMP for you.
