And the bard runs by to do math again. Something seems off in the damage calculation... Raging Str mod of +7, so 1d10 +14 (Str + Overhand Chop) +9 (Power Attack) +1 (Enhancement) +1 (Weapon Training) +2 (Weapon Specialization) = 1d10+27. I think you missed adding the rage bonus for overhand chop. That should add 1 more damage, plus 1 for the crit. Also...Sonic Damage:1d6 ⇒ 3
"Nice shot Svetlana! That oughtta get his attention!"
He thinks about this for a moment. "Oh wait... sh-"
Edit: Missed some numbers. First though the numbers were a touch too high, then realized they were a touch too low.
Normal - 20 Str = 5 x 1.5 = +7,
+1 Weapon,
+2 Specialised,
+1 Weapon training
= +11.
Raging = 24 Str = 7 x 1.5 = +10,
+1 Weapon,
+2 Specialised,
+1 Weapon training =
= +14 (Hence the +3 I was adding as 'Raging')
Overhand Chop+Raging 24 Str = 7 x 2 = 14, <-Error was here :)
+1 Weapon,
+2 Specialised,
+1 Weapon training =
= +18
Add in PA = +9
Total should be 27?
I only added + 11 + 9 + 3 + 3 = 26
When my Str went up by 2 for rage I added in the +3, but then didn't connect that the 2x Multiplier came to a whole number and I wasn't needing to round down
Yeah should be 1 more base damage + sonic - So +2 Damage +3 Sonic

Not sure if we will be up for another combat with a Fossil Golem, but I have tactics I wanted to throw out before we even get out of this combat. I thought about doing this in character, but I wouldn't want to confuse this combat round.
If we know what we are fighting, then we should be able to prepare a counter for it. If Avelina can cast invisibility sphere on the party, it should limit who the Fossil Golem can attack. Presuming it isn't the most tactically minded golem, we might be able to lure it into charging Svetlana, who can brace against the charge for a strong first hit. Fandral, Solomon, and myself should try to set ourselves so that we can full attack it following it's charge. Avelina could either attempt a trip, heal, or some other magical option. I have a wand of acid arrow with a few charges Vinnie could use, attack from a distance from behind Svetlana in the opening, or use any vanishes he has left from the safety of the invisibility sphere to get people out of bad positions. If we can take it in that round, it would mean it would only get one attack while we all get a full attack along with Svetlana's readied attack.
Another option would be a similar set up, but with Vinnie and/or Avelina as bait, and the invisible band of melee characters blocking a charge path. If it charges in this situation, it's charge attack might fail give characters all a chance to get in AoOs and then a full attack before it can recover. This assumes it isn't just able to run right over the much smaller characters. If we can get away with this and deal lethal in that first round, we might make it through the combat giving it no chance to deal damage.

Since we've got Ragniori for spot heals as well, I think we can take one more fossil golem fight after this. If your strategy goes as planned we probably have two more left in us. I'm down to give it a shot. I think we're just waiting on Avelina this round to see who gets crit by the dinorock, but after that we can take another shot at the puzzle sphere and then try out attack pattern invisible ambush. If we're lucky she can crit it with a snowball and kill it before it gets a turn.

Avelina places her faith in her mirror images as she dashes away from the fossil golem move action that will provoke an AoO.
Safely out of the golem's range, she conjures an orb of ice, then chucks it full force at the golem. Snowball does not allow SR, so it bypasses spell immunity

Avelina will recover two 5th level spells slots and one 1st level spell slot, as well as one use of Heroic Echo
Avelina's cure critical wounds wand poofs back into her hand, and her cure moderate wounds wand disappears back into her gloves of storing. Two free actions
She rushes--all seven of her--to Svetlana's side and hits her with the wand.
Avelina will use Razmiran Channel to expend a 5th level spell slot instead of using a charge from her CCW wand. She taps the check, as usual Cure Critical Wounds:4d8 + 7 ⇒ (3, 1, 1, 5) + 7 = 17

You get a crit... and YOU get a crit... and EVERBODY gets a crit!
Saul will recover 2 level 2 spells, a level 3 spell, a level 4 spell along with a round of raging song.
As he finishes channeling Ragniori's potent spell Saul looks forward in horror. He stands, mouth hanging open, as watches as the twin dino heads bear down on Svetlana and raises his first aid gloves expecting the worst. As the jaws let go and she remains on her feet, he relaxes just a bit. He points at the fossil golem and yells a command to the newly conjured elemental. "Destroy!"
My premature elemental actions from earlier wrote:
Feeling energized once again, Saul quickly shifts gears back to support and works to invigorate his party once again.
Move action: Reactivate raging song, this time with healing boosts again. Standard action: Cast Path of Glory on the marked squares. Any ally who ends their turn in one of those squares heals for 1. If you are raging, instead heal for 12. Fast healing is up again as well.
"Svetlana, Fandral, fall back to my position. Let our new ally hold down the beast!"
With growing frustration seeing Svetlana take another hit in defense of the party Sielan steps clear of the elemental and swings with powerful magically charged attacks at the golem in a effort to cleave through the creature's entire body. "Hit me you giant bag of bones! Let's see you resist this magic!"
Accepting rage. 5 foot step. Arcane Strike. Lunge Full Attack with Glaive.

I strive to be barely enough.
Sielan takes a moment to evaluate the field as the party attempts to recover.
"Avelina, I can only hide one person, but do you know the prayer to hide everyone here? I'm still up for a fight, but the worst I've felt so far against these things is a sore arm."
He thinks for a moment as he works on spells and the prison.
"Given I've not taken my fair share, I'm willing to bait the next one out, let you all fall back or finish it off. I don't think I can beat it by myself, but I should be able to take enough hits to give you a moment."
Casting greater magic weapon on Svetlana's polearm making it a +2 weapon, then casting enlarge person on self.

1st Round
Avelina immediately heals Svetlana again with the wand in-hand.
Using Razmiran Channel to expend a 5th level slot instead of using a charge from the wand Cure Critical Wounds:4d8 + 7 ⇒ (7, 5, 5, 4) + 7 = 28
2nd Round "Why, indeed I do, good Sir Knight. Gather close, everyone, and I shall hide us all from sight!"
Avelina draws a scroll of invisibility sphere from her hand haversack and reads from it.
3rd Round
Avelina focuses on the sphere, drawing upon her years of training at forcing magic items to cooperate by pure force of will.

"Vinnie, see if you can convince Ragniori to help us WITHOUT flirting, I'll stand at the ready with the front line."
Round 1: Swift - Extend Path of Glory, Standard - Cast Moment of Greatness, let rage linger
Round 2: Sielan's CLW stick on Svetlana for 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 = 9, Continue to extend path
Round 3: Restart healing rage, make knowledge check.
Assuming Svetlana stands in the wards and rages for the 3 rounds, that will be a total of 49 healing. If she does so she cannot make an attempt on the puzzle since she'll be raging that round. If she wishes to make a check, she'll heal for 15 less. Everyone else will be filled up as well. The path lasts a total of 11 rounds, and can be extended by 4 squares every round as a swift action. It only heals allies, so my goal is to fill our battleground. I'll recommend giving Ragniori's favor to Vinnie again.
With the help of dozens of other Pathfinders, all working together, the last of the circles and their strange guardians fall!
Sorrina Westyr's image manifests to the Pathfinders, standing before a floating metallic polyhedron scribed with countless shifting glyphs. “We have done it! Now how to open this—”
A great crack interrupts the Master of Spell's musings, as an immense three-eyed giant with skin like hewn stone steps through a tear in space, with an army pouring out past her. The giant bellows so that all can hear. “I acknowledge your strength, little ones, for you have angered my benefactor enough to send me. I and my warriors, the Daemon Prayers, honor it with unyielding death. Seize the Vault! Slay them all!”
Sorrina Westyr urgently pipes in. “We just need a few more minutes to secure our prize and escape. Hold them off as long as you can!”
Drandle Dreng’s shaggy head appears once again in the divination window. “You heard her, Pathfinders!” He says, fist raised. “Go get ‘em!”

I'm going to assume that announcement is accompanied by 'roll for initiative' and I can't blow my warhorn right now for a Magic Circle Against Evil... If I can though... that'd be awesome.
At the words "Slay them all," two creatures teleport into the chamber.

@GM Don't forget we are all in an invisibility sphere. I moved my initial position, as Avelina would have been over with the group to heal Svetlana and cast Invisibility Sphere
Avelina draws her wand of bless and activates it (tapping the UMD as usual). She struggles to keep from pronouncing the Inheritor's Blessing to all, not wanting to give away her position just yet.
Avelina uses an immediate action to increase the attack bonus from bless to +2 for the next 8 rounds
The upasunda concentrates for a moment and then points toward your group.

If you are in the cloud at the start of your turn, you will take 1d4 points of Constitution damage. You may make a DC 19 Fortitude save vs poison to halve the damage. The cloud obscures vision like a fog cloud.

It didn't get included in the buff page, but after the fight with the pair of incorporeal undead we found a scroll of life bubble and Avelina cast it on the party and should have had a 3 hour duration starting then. Which would have a positive effect on this combat if it is still up.
Sielan pushes out of the cloud and casts black tentacles into the corner of the room.
"Like devils right? That means they are one of the more orderly outsiders then?"
If they are identified as lawful outsiders Sielan will call upon memories of a skirmish from years ago and a boon the Society had granted to aid if he found yet more of the legions of hell.
Swift action to activate Legions of Hell boon to give weapon lawful outsider bane to my glaive for a minute if these are such.
Saul switches his rage again to full offense... and then bolsters it further against these vile fiends. Since I'm currently maintaining the performance already, Using Harmonic Spell to reduce changing performance to a swift action. Casting Flexible Fury to give everyone Lesser Celestial Blood, which makes everyone's melee weapons good aligned and, and adds 1d6 damage to melee attacks against evil outsiders. Move action to get out of the cloud.

Ah right! So we're immune to the cloud?
Also, I wanna see Sielan full attack one of those things...
+2 Holy Lawful Outsider Bane Glaive while Enlaged, Raging, Blessed, Hasted, and getting +1d6 Sonic damage and +1d6 damage vs Evil Outsiders... Anyone else want to throw a buff on him just to make this sillier?
With life bubble on you won't take any Con damage, but it will still obscure vision.
The black tentacles whip all around the asura, but there merely laugh like it was tickling them. Without getting lucky it seems like they can pretty much ignore them. CMD is high enough that you think you'd need a natural 20 for that to work.

@Solomon I do in fact have something :)
Avelina rushes out of the fog in the direction of Sielan, trusting that she would find the most protection by him.
Not wanting to give up her invisibility quite yet, Avelina held up her ring and invoked some holy magic within. She then touched Sielan's weapon and its glow brightened even more.
Avelina activated her Knight-Inheritor's Ring to cast Bless Weapon on Sielan's glaive. While his weapon was already good-aligned, it will now automatically confirm all critical threats against evil-aligned creatures :3c
The upasunda casts a spell. Both she and the aghasura begin moving faster! She then moves deeper into the field of tentacles.
The aghasura disappears and then reappears on the other side of the room.
I'll pretty much give you that the spells were haste and greater teleport.

Avelina sees the aghasura disappear and hears the clash of battle with Fandral. A decidely wicked smirk creeps onto her face as she thinks of the perfect idea.
"Hold on, Sir Knight. I shall bring you to the battle."
With a few words and a touch of Sielan, Avelina transports herself and Sielan over to the far side of the battle, both of them still covered by the veil of Avelina's invisibility sphere.

Sielan fees confused by the sudden transposition before shaking it off and letting Solomon's song into his soul.
"Haven't been on this side of the spell before, but I'm not going to turn it down! Come on big guy! You are going to need to get a lot father to get away from me!"
He doesn't hesitate a moment longer as his take careful aim at the asura with a series of magically charged blows.
