Kyra says a small prayer blessing the party.

The Daemon looks toward Calomel and sees it shouting something, but does not understand what was said.

Amarok easily shakes off the slowing effect and sighs at his arrows not quite biting into the flesh, remembering to gather them later. Looking to the closing Daemon he changes aim, now within a much better range the Monk launches three arrows in quick succession before calling upon his KI to launch another.

Flurry of Blows, all Silver Arrows. Then a Ki point as a swift action to fire another. Perfect strike on the third arrow (the one at +5)

@Wiem: I am not too familiar with mounted rules. But sure.

The creature seems to be unaffected by Shiori's magic so far.

Amarok's first three arrows fail to make purchase, but the fourth one sticks into it's hide, as it lets out a howl of pain.

It's focus shift to Amarok and gestures toward him. Amarok make a DC 19 will save

Normally a fast dismount is a free action if you succeed, but you have to have a move action available in case you fail. But that's OK. I will just take a second move to dismount after C1 falls. They are 10 feet up correct? If closer I will have other options.

Wiem rolls from his mount and calls upon his jungle home to protect the creature from death with a deep croaking voice.
Five ft. adjust & cast stabilize.

Kyra summons a spiritual weapon to harass the demon but pays it no mind.

Calomel is still trying to threaten the daemon. But it does not seem to be making any difference.

Weim manages to drop safely to the ground and stabilize his bird.

Lurgh launches two more rays at the beast. Both find there target this time.

The Daemon getting tired of being singed by the half-orc takes chase and lashes out with a savage bite.

Spiritual weapon specifically doesn't give flanking bonuses but I would guess it threatens (tiny creatures don't flank, but do threaten the square they are in i.e. the one they have to be in in order to attack). I guess it falls to GM interpretation. I neglected to check against SR, but force damage usually cuts through most DR. Did it not seem to care that it was wounded (because it has like 400 hps) or that it was unaffected at all by the attack, as it would be hard for me to roll better than a 20 on d20 I might have to reconsider my next action. Maybe the demons are an illusion generated by an evil army ant hive mind creeping up behind us?

'Yes' to AoO:

Knowledge Checks -Sky Key Solution Aid Token

No you are correct. I forgot that spiritual weapon deals force damage, which bypasses DR, so that is completely on me. So yes a nat 20 does hit, however it did not confirm. As for the Hit Point total, you would need a separate knowledge check. But it is not quite 400

Amarok breathes a sigh as the Daemon pops out of existence, before resuming his focus on the creature he had been duelling. With a quick count amidst his magical quiver the Monk realised he had used half his silvered arrows Next time, I must buy more, it will not do to be so unprepared. he silently scolds himself before snapping back to combat.

Shiori's missiles makes contact with the daemon, followed quickly by Amarok's arrows. The creature begins to descend and slowly leaves this plane to return to his.

Amarok, you only needed the first two arrows. You can save the other two.

Combat over.

After the PCs defeat the daemons, Arkar approaches to apologize for his earlier accusations. He also confesses that several years ago, he replaced the authentic cradle with a duplicate, aiming to prove to Yukaza that the relics of Malikeen hold no actual power. He offers to show the PCs where the true cradle is hidden.

As soon as the PCs bring the candle of conveyance close to the second relic, they complete their mission for Bakten.

The flame burns blue, but moments later it begins to flare and
sputter madly, coruscating through the spectrum until it settles
on blood red. Within the frantic candle, images appear: first, a jagged black pagoda, then the image of a blue-skinned woman, her hair like a black shroud. Her jaws distend and erupt with fangs. Bakten’s face appears, his eyes wide with pain and terror. He falls from view and the candle’s flame winks out.

DC 18 Spellcraft or Knowledge (Arcana):
A hostile entity invaded the candle's psychic bond

The PC's are obliged to return to Amanandar to return the candle to Bakten. Upon arriving at Bakten’s sanctuary, they find his pooka servant aggrieved. Twig acts as a telepathic eyewitness, showing the PCs the following mental images: Bakten meditating, Bakten horror stricken, and Bakten’s body evaporating.

Tears streak the pooka’s tiny face as she says, “Bakten so gone. But gone-gone? Great Beyond. Show candle, yes?”

Twig is asking if she can examine the candle of conveyance, hoping to determine if Bakten has truly passed to the Outer Planes. If the PCs bring out the magic item, they receive a shock: the extinguished candle re-ignites itself, burning with a small, pale flame. Twig’s sorrow turns to joy. “Walk-lookers! Hope burns! New Bakten means new answers soon!”

Chronicles will be posted in the discussion page shortly. I will post the start of part 2, hopefully by tonight.

I think something else has connected itself to the candle. This bears further investigation.

The Arrows are Durable so I will re-collect them, Amarok will also be purchasing more Durable Silver Arrows between the scenarios as 20 didn't seem enough...

Amarok breathes out a sigh as the Daemon is vanquished and sets to the task of collecting his Spent arrows, taking care to clear the ichor from the arrowheads and changing his clothes, the monk is pleased that they did no light the candle for a fake relic, through luck they avoided a blunder.

Frowning at the experience and shocked back at the temple, Amarok listens to Pooka solemly.

"Yes, have we any leads on what it might have been?"

Part 2

Since the death of Venture-Captain Bakten Shengrah, New Oppara has been in mourning. The heavens echo the city’s grief, bestowing shrouds of inky storm clouds on the city, rolling down from the Zi Ha Mountains to the north. On orders from the Lantern Lodge, all local Pathfinders have cloistered themselves within the samsaran guru’s sanctuary, combing his libraries for clues that might explain the strange resuscitation of Bakten’s candle of conveyance, for none of the sages of Amanandar can explain how the candle still burns when Bakten’s soul has departed.

As the black clouds hurl blizzards from above, an unlikely source of aid appears at the sanctuary’s gates: an elderly elven noblewoman stumbles in, frostbitten and half-delirious. “I came to atone,” she cries, “Bakten was once Malash—a hero. But what was Malash next? That evil woman! I loathed her so. I thought she stole my love’s heart, and blamed her next life, Bakten, too! But if he knew nothing of his own veiled life?” Her ancient hands clutch a weather-beaten scroll case, as if it were a lifeline. “Tell me he is not dead, please!” She begs, “If Bakten is fallen, I fear the shrouded one may rise and doom us all!”

Everyone instantly recognizes her as Lady Ishigo Shiori. You may aske her any questions you have.

It is true, the time of Bakten is over. His life has come to its end. Perhaps you should tell us of this shrouded one you fear then.

As before, will cast extended mage armor on himself and Amarok at the start of each day.

In reference to the shrouded one.“Jujanil, the evil creature who stole my love’s heart. I was certain that she was one of Bakten’s past lives, a being of the same soul, but now I am not so sure. I made a terrible mistake, and now we may be doomed.”

"And what was this mistake?" Kyra asks her mood depressed by the poor weather. She is holding a hot tea. "Come in and tell us."

“When I learned that Bakten was nearing the end of his cycle of reincarnation, I sought to fulfill an old oath—to kill the woman who stole my one true love. I arranged for some assassins to visit Bakten, as I believed he was once that same woman. But the truth is more horrible." She pauses for a moment to calm herself before starting again. "After you Pathfinders visited Jinin, I realized if Bakten himself recalled nothing of the shrouded one, then perhaps she was a separate soul entirely. I sent one of my daughters to ransack Ryuu’s chambers. I had to know what creature had ensnared him centuries ago. She brought me this scroll.”

Trembling, Shiori proffers a letter from Jujanil to Mata Ryuu.

After she lets you read the letter she begins explaining her interpretations. “What if this ‘other soul’ she speaks of is Malash and Bakten? What if Jujanil were somehow separated from her other incarnations and is waiting, now, for Bakten’s soul to leave, before she can arise?”

Knowledge Geography or History

DC 15+:
The Black Grave Tower is a secluded pagoda of black basalt high atop the Wild Peaks of Zi Ha. Locals shun the tower, believing it to be haunted.

DC 20+:
When the pagoda was built, a pilgrimage of crimson-clad priests traveled the lone mountain pass to christen the tower in the name of the Lord of Envy, the god Fumeiyoshi.

DC 25+:
The funds for the pagoda’s construction came from the Mata house in Jinin, although a raven-haired samsaran supposedly oversaw its completion.

Knowledge Religion

10+:
Fumeiyoshi, Lord of Envy, is one of the 20 prominent deities of Tian Xia. He was once known as the God of Night. However, he grew jealous of his brother Tsukiyo’s love for the goddess Shizuru. This envy led him to fratricide, and he became the patron of dishonor, envy, graves, and undead.

15+:
Fumeiyoshi often manifests to his worshipers as a nearly skeletal crimson humanoid with three eyes, jagged tusks, and twisted claws. His unholy symbol is a red demonic face, and his sacred animal is a wolf, sometimes shown devouring a freshly killed hare, the sacred animal of his brother Tsukiyo. His favored weapon is the naginata.

20+:
Envious of the living, Fumeiyoshi grants eternal unlife to his most devoted servants.

25+:
Fumeiyoshi loathes samsarans, as their souls evade his clutches through reincarnation. An undead samsaran would be a favored follower of the dark god.

Amarok listens to the tale and frowns, sad that such a long-lived creature would make such a mistake over something like the scorn for a love rival. Keeping the thought to himself however, the Monk speaks carefully as if choosing his next words to not cause offense, though as usual the result is very stiff and formal.

"Lord Ryuu was mesmerised at the festival, our realisation and subsequent mentioning of this fact is what caused him to flee the gathering. Has he been since?"

"That settles it then. You all should leave for The Black Grave Tower immediately. And if Lord Mata Ryuu is under control of some kind you can bring him back. You may even be able to find out Batken's fate. So will you do this?"

Assuming you all do...

"I will personally see to it that you have everything you need."

She has her people bring in cold weather outfits for everyone.

"I do suggest bringing something for your feathered friend" She says acknowledging Weim's companion. "This also may be helpful."

She hands you a map of the nearby mountains, showing you the most direct route to the tower.

Amarok bows low to the Woman and accepts the arrow, placing it in his extra-dimensional Quiver the Monk is prepared to use it if needed on their quest. He will of course see if anyone can identify it first. Wearing the new outfit, the Archer will make his way to new Oppara and sets about shopping for supplies needed for the journey.

Rejoining his companions, Amarok returns with a new selection of arrows slung in an extra quiver over his shoulder, as well as sporting a new pair of sturdy leather bracers in a pale tan colour, engraved with an image of arrows in flight.

"I have purchased more silver should we face Daemons again and I have Ghost Salt for ghosts and the like. Are we ready friends? it would seem we must be on guard at this temple."

The arduous journey into the Wild Peaks in southern Zi Ha takes approximately 10 days on foot. In the lowlands, PCs can obtain directions from yak herders, but no amount of persuasion convinces the locals to accompany them to the accursed Black Grave Tower. The only trail leads through a 3-mile-long pass surrounded by steep cliffs. The high altitude, combined with punishing cold, fierce winds, and constant snowfall, make this region exceedingly hostile to travelers.

So the good news is, since you just completed part one, you can activate the Statuette and you do not have to worry about the severe cold or the high altitude. Still face some penalties from wind and snow fall. But I will calculate them when appropriate.

A crude wooden sign juts from the ice at the foot of a natural stair formation. Beyond, the mountain’s ridge drops away suddenly.

Aklo or DC 20 Linguistics:
Turn back, for the world as you know it ends here.

DC 18 Survival:
notices three sets of large humanoid footprints leading towards area of the bridge.

A sudden drop signals the end of one range and the beginning of another. Far below, the cracking squawk of shifting ice answers the thunder in the sky above. A rope bridge extends across the gap, flapping like a flag in the relentless winds. The far end is shrouded in spirals of snow.

The choice is yours. You can attempt cross the bridge or find another way to cross the chasm. If you choose to cross the bridge, tell me who is going first. Added note, if you wish to move faster than 5 feet at a time on the bridge, you will need to make a reflex DC 16 check, to keep from getting flung of the bridge.
