Sobrino flies slowly over the lemure, to avoid being attacked by it. The DC is 10, so autopass then he starts bitting and clawing the priestess.
come on Keera, you can do it this time thinks Keera as she tries to fly up again. And again until he manages to move up. Movent and standard actions used
fire damage versus Chyras:2d6 - 3 ⇒ (6, 4) - 3 = 7
Chyras, the wall of fire skirts the central square Keera's presently in, so you're standing inside it. Sorry if that wasn't clear. If you were still capable of having made a 5-foot step, I'll let you do that.
Hafshi endures a terrible barrage of attacks from all sides - her enchanted armor protects her from the worst of it, but some make it through.
Kenji whips out a length of cord and binds the fiend, which squirms impotently!
Chyras unleashes a burst of harshly sparkling dust onto the battlefield!
Alanya and Sobrino need to make Will saves versus Chyras's glitterdust.

I posted my own casting prior to Alanya entering that area, so she wasn't within the burst when it went off.
Also, you already dealt me the firewall dmg before. If i wasn't standing in it before previous round to take it, that's 1 time the firewall dmg less. Within it, i'm fine.
Will Chyras:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
"Tryin' to 'ave your evil god save you? Not today."
Chyras casts Grease, marked by the new area.
Hafshi gets a reflex DC 16 or she falls down.
will vs channel dc 12:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12wow... barely
Kenji throws off most of the channel damage, eyes narrowing with the effort of doing so.
Having tied up the lemure, he turns his attention to the cultist herself. You are one sorry b~~@!.. or you soon will be." He launches himself at her, attempting another grapple.
Kenji tosses a quick 'thanks' over his shoulder to Vassago while in the throes of trying to grapple Hafshi. prolly should have done that on someone more seriously wounded... Kenji only had 7 pts of dmg on him.

Sobrino's vs glitterdust:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Sobrino closes his eyes for a moment to avoid the intense light from the firewall. Then he open his ayes and a incredulous tweet comes from him when he realizes his body is gliterring.
Sobrino's will vs channel:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 Keera's will vs channel:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12I'm also ok with being healed leopard's will vs channel:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9So 13/25 HP, also 2 rounds until he banishes
Keera flies toward sobrino, using her spring-loaded wraist sheet to pick her wand and cure him. Fly up a little and tear her in pieces! she shouts urging her companion to kill the priestess before being killed.
@Kenji: I'm going to say that you know that grappling her isn't going to prevent her from Channeling again, if that's what she chooses to do - do you still want to do that?

Go for it Kenji, What's the worst can happen, another dead roc? I'll prefer to not seeing another companion dye, but if that allows you to pin her, Sobrino will take the risk

Glitterdust put a nice sparkly dye of colors onto your roc's feathers. If you want to dye your bird purple or pink, i propose we wait until we can purchase paint. ^^
Chyras, I'm more than a little confused about what you're saying about the wall of fire. You take damage from it every round you're in or near it. You're presently standing IN it, which is why you took damage twice. Are you REALLY just going to stand there and let it burn you???

The wall of fire (circle's line) deals 2d6+CL if a PC walks through it, or upon its initial casting, when it occupies a square a creature is in.
The encircled area, deals but 2d4 to those within, not 2d6+CL.
That's all, you might be mistaking the 2d6 with the 2d4, hence with fire resist 10 i am fine with standing within the encircled area.
The encircled area, yes, but the squares composing the circle ARE on fire, and would deal their full damage to anyone in them every round. I'm willing to say you're in the center, though, since Keera's out of it.
Hafshi Reflex save:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Hafshi keeps her footing on the treacherous grease, and keeps her unholy symbol held as high as she is able, even under the continuing assault by Keera's minions and Kenji's mighty tackle (her magical ward protecting her yet again from Sele's mighty blow), and another terrible pulse of infernal power sweeps across the room.
Channeling negative energy, EVERYONE make a DC 12 Will save for half damage!:4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 1, 6) = 10
Clearly, her will is being worn down, however.
front lemure Will save:1d20 ⇒ 14
The other lemure returns to Hell...
Hafshi Will save vs blindness:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
...and Hafshi manages to blink the last of the dust out of her eyes.

Sobrinos lifes should be -15 as Keera healed him. Minus whatever happen to him due this last channel
Sobrino's will:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21So -20 HP Keera's will:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 Leopard's will:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9So 3/25 HP, also 1 rounds until he banishes
Keera and her companion resist the malign energy, but the leopard, with his mind focused in tearing the priestess can't do the same.
Keera flies under Alanya, changing his wand to the shield hand and unseaths her scimitar to help the leopard tear down the priestess.
Come on Kenji, let's see who takes her out of comebat first, you or my animals then she nods toward his other companions. Or you, of course. You have a good opportunity too. Even if Sobrino is badly wounded, she looks confident the combat will end shortly.
Keera's animals and Kenji lay Hafshi out on the floor, and Sele *finally* connects, stabbing her all the way through the chest. The evil priestess is no more.
You see your prize perched at the far end of the room, beneath a small portal in the air from which you can hear cries of terror, anguish, and the sounds of metal-on-metal combat. Happily, you need only take the idol from its place in order for the portal to wink out of being, and with it, much of the terrible heat.
The terrible voices in your head still torment you, however, and in anger, Sele smashes the ugly obsidian relief (I'm being a little generous here and assuming that's what you would have done, since there was nothing stopping you now)!
You return the idol to the Pathfinder Society in Absalom, where the chroniclers and sages study its planar powers and the heritage of the Archdevil Moloch. Back in Qadira, the sandstorms recede, the fire creatures that have already wandered through the portal disperse, and the cult quiets in Qadira once more.

Yoohoo!! We won after such bad luck rolls :P
Chyras sees Sele smiting the evil relief.
"Ok, can't say i blame you for it. At least none of us got killed...aside from Alanya, but she's just been sent back to her native plane."
Thank you for giving me a time out, GM, giving me an opportunity to play this PC again. :)

"Well done, everyone! Now, who needs a bath? I'll provide the water!", Vassago nonplussed about his performance as well as sweating through his garments.

Keera stops tending Sobrino's wounds after hearing about having the opportunity to freshen a little.
I'd love if you can provide us a bath, or even better some rain. Can you make water fall from the sky?
Loud and raucous conversation filters through the door from the common room of the Uscalin Lodge, which doubles as the Ace of Dreams gambling house.
"I know it’s here. I had it just a moment ago." Venture-Captain Shevar Besnik lifts piles of papers and numerous boxes off of his desk, stacking them on various side tables and chairs in his clean but overly cluttered office.
The tall, Varisian man’s face parts in a toothy grin as he lifts up a solid oak box. "Found it!"
As if to punctuate his discovery, a crowd of players in the gambling hall erupts in cheers. Distracted for a moment, Besnik stares at the closed office door that leads to the common room.
"Desna laughs. Well, she laughs at me, but she smiles on them." The venturecaptain shrugs. "All they have is gold; what I have in here is far more valuable."
Besnik opens the box’s lid painstakingly slowly, careful to keep the contents out of sight. With reverence, he lifts a large tome from the box and gently sets it on the table.
"Careful, the binding hasn’t held up well. This is one of the few Tomes of Righteous Repose left in the world. I’m pretty sure there’s one in the library of the Sancta Iomedaea in Vigil, but I’m—well, let’s just say I’m no longer welcome there.
That’s a story for another time. Up until today, I’ve only skimmed the pages. I didn’t want to damage it, but now that you’re here, I can’t wait any longer. Care to plumb the depths of this most ancient and wonderful storybook?"
"Oh, the marvelous adventures we will soon read! This tome is a collection of tales describing how various crusaders died gloriously and honorably. I’m hoping to find some clues in the text that will lead us to an as-of-yet undiscovered site or relic. Maybe we can trade a bit of what we find with the Knights of Ozem and earn ourselves some goodwill.
After what happened last time, we need it. Care to peruse the pages with me?"
"That would be fascinating... though I've never been much for reading such tales, I would like to hear a story or two of these fabled crusades and learn about those who fought and died for such a noble cause. Read on, good sir."

The Marquis de Exupery seems ecstatic. Even more so than usual.
"Yea, verily!!! To bear ocula and aurea twich yon sacred Storybook of Yore 'twould be the highest of honors!"

AS my friend I never been much of reading tales. But I understand that our work, as pathfinders, can't be complete with only field missions Keera says, thinking that's a diplomatic answer. But don't take it too long.
VC Besnik reads the poem, while putting it on the desk for you to read.
The Whisp’ring Tyrant lurks below,
Feeding on peasants’ fear and woe.
The god’s faithful set a border,
Shielding with their knightly order.
Hidden beneath Gydular’s snow
[illegible] shining glow
[illegible] darkness he would sow,
[illegible] Minkai warder.
Still the Tyrant lurks below.
Only few, the location know,
In case Tar-Baphon’s power grow
And find [illegible]
Trusted few knew [illegible]
But they were [illegible]
Still the Tyrant lurks below.
Some words are illegible from ink stains and grease.
---------------------------------
When everyone would be done with reading it for good measure:
Besnik smiles reassuringly.
"We may not be able to read every word of this poem, but what we can read is more than enough to tell us that we need to investigate this site.
What is clear to me is that the poem references some sort of protection against the Whispering Tyrant. The Knights of Ozem have always been secretive about the many and varied ways they keep that old lich locked away in Gallowspire, even among themselves.
It’s possible that they have no idea this particular protection exists. Whatever Gydular is, it must be important."
Hopefully everyone had a good weekend.
I sure did, my 1st con. :)
Knowledge (Arcana, History or Religion) to know of/about Ustalav and Virlych.
DC 10:
Virlych is a desolate, mountainous county of Ustalav where nothing natural lives. The weather is punishing and the ground rocky. Travelers do sometimes pass through the accursed land, though.
DC 15:
Gallowspire is the Whispering Tyrant’s former fortress. When the Knights of Ozem imprisoned him there in 3827 ar, it marked the end of the Shining Crusade.
They placed numerous secret wards and protections over his prison so that he could never escape.
DC 20:
The forces of Lastwall no longer have a direct presence there, having been expelled by cultists and the unholy presence of the Whispering Tyrant, even in dormancy.
Knowledge (History, Local or Religion) to know of/about the “Rondeau of Righteous Retention.”
DC 15:
To keep the Whispering Tyrant locked away, the Shining Crusade implemented a layered defense. Even if one line of defenses fails, there are several others keeping his immortal powers at bay.
DC 20:
The Knights of Ozem have compartmentalized knowledge of the locks on Tar-Baphon’s magical prison. This removes the threat of any one Knight becoming compromised and allowing an enemy to gain knowledge of all the prison’s safeguards.
DC 25:
Compartmentalized protection comes at a cost; if secrets are not passed down, then future generations will not know how to keep the lich imprisoned. Multiple layers of protection have been lost during the centuries following the Shining Crusade
