N'Djamena starts up the ladder, but in a piece of bad luck has one of the rungs brake sending him sliding to the floor. Ayish moves closer and keeps up her song. Larrs moves across the knotted beams with great leaps to stand at the entry to the chamber and bit at the hammer wielding pugwampi only to have it easily duck his attack
starts her ways slowly across the beam as Mamood starts behind her, passing up the gnome but unable to slip past the lion, Xerxzayas moves toward the ladder
Standing in the door Larrs is an easy target but somehow evades the hammer blow, yet can not avoid the arrows

Markhet attempts a fast dismount to get behind the warhammer pugwampi to harass the archers behind him.
Okay, that's not going to do it, so Markhet takes a double move, provoking AoO from anyone with melee weapons.
Celena continues her slow walk across the rafters

Celena decides to try a more direct route by going through the paper walls.
N'Djamena starts to climb the ladder, making it to the balcony, Ayish continues her song, bolstering Allys as Lars reaches out and grabs the hammer wielding puwampi as Celena plows though the "wall" of paper and cloth , running along the beam toward Larrs. Markhet slips from Larrs saddle and starts across the "floor" only to make a few steps before it gives way and tears, she grasps at the flooring only to have it tear away as she falls to the ground , Xerxzayas close on N'Djamena's heels makes it topside as well, Mamood c easily steps across the rafter as if he were some great blue cat, and rips another Pugwampis head from it's shoulders with his claws
The pugwampi in Larrs grip can not brake the great ats hold as the last archer fires at Mamood in terror, but it's panicked shot goes wide, the one Vrealk wounded, cuts its way though a "wall' and tried to flee

"Ow . . . Markhet is hurt," the gnome whimpers from where she lays, but then her eyes gaze up to where she fell though the ceiling, and knowing her cat might abandon the fight to come 'save' her, Markhet calls out: "get him Larrs! Eats him!"
For a brief moment Larrs looked as though he might abandon the fight to return to his mistress but with Markhet's words he continues to attack the puwampi under his paws.

Seeing the small form of the Gnome fall to the floor and land heavily, Ayish's song is interrupted by a gasp of shock and horror.
"Ow . . . Markhet is hurt," the gnome whimpers from where she lays, but then her eyes gaze up to where she fell though the ceiling, and knowing her cat might abandon the fight to come 'save' her, Markhet calls out: "Get him Larrs! Eats him!"
Even at hearing the plucky little figures words cast up into the darkness doesn't stop Ayish from rushing forwards and casting hr healing upon the crumpled figure.
N'Djamena moves towards the sounds of battle from within the nest.
Acrobatics:
N'djamena runs across the runined balcony headed for the unbroken beam as Ayish runs over and knees before the dazed Markhet, healing pours from her hands with a few arcane words, closing up many of Markhets wounds. Markhet cheers Larrs on as the lion, standing over the bleeding form of Vrealk shacks the pinned pugwampi sinking his fangs into the now shirking creature. Celena strikes at the trapped beats but unluckly catches herself on some of the "wall" throwing her aim off. Mamood leaps at the last archer, crashing though the floor and pluming below to land hard on the floor crushing the pugwampi beneath him. As Xerzayas makes his way toward the unbroken beam.
The last free living pugwampi runs along the beams looking for an escape. In larrs jaws the Pugwampi drops his hammer to the "floor" and vainly tries to free himself from the lions jaws.

Markhet slowly pulls herself to her feet.
"Thank you Ayishida," Markhet says looking up at the bard, "Markhet is very grateful for your help, she was very badly hurt in the fall. Lucky this pew was hear to break Markhet's fall."
The gnome points to the stone pew that she slammed into on her way down.
"Though if Markhet were to repeat the experience she thinks she would try to land on it with her feet rather then with her spine."
Celena continues to try and pummel the pugawimpi

Her healing magic spent, Ayish rocks back upon her haunches and gives voice to her uplifting song again, trying to help bolster her comrades spirits in their fight against these obnoxious creatures.
N'Djamena keeps moving towards the nest by the safest possible path.
N'djamena moves across the beam cutting off the last free pugwampi escape rout. On the floor Ayish keeps singing as Markhet yells encouragements as Larrs keeps biting the trapped screaming Pugwampi. Celena again tries to attack but once more unluckly gets entangled with the "wall". Xerzayas lobs another glob of acid at the pugwampi in front of N'djamena but his aim is off and the orb flies into the damaged roof above.
The Trapped pugwampi struggles to free himself from larrs while screaming "You let Mokknokk go stupid cat!" In a high pitched whiny voice as the last pugwampi runs back town the beam away from N'djamena screaming "No kill! No kill!" As he flees from the cleric down the broken beam

The fight seems all but done. The last free Pugwampi is burned down by Xerxzayas as N'Djamena makes his way into the entrance of the "nest" As Larrs and Celena attack the last pugwampi. At last he spasms and moves no more as Larrs mauls him
Celena des her best to try and heal her goblin ally
Heal
"O great Nethys All-Seeing, bring life back to this (ugh) goblin if it is in your Mighty Plan. I beseech this boon, but only you are All Wise."
Then N'Djamena encourages the rest of the wounded adventurers to gather together closely to partake of Nethys's healing energy.
With the pugwampi subdued Larrs suddenly realizes that he's surrounded by humanoids, and not the good kind like Markhet, He emits a threatening growl (as if to say "my kill! Back off!") and quickly snatches up the dead pugwampi and moves away from the others.
"Larrs," Markhet calls up, "You behave yourself. No eating or scratching Markhet's friends!"
Vrealk opens his eyes to the sight of the large priest standing over him. He feels much better now, and realizes that N'Djamena must have healed him. "Thank you, friend-priest! Me owe you one. Stupid vermin hit much harder than usual rats and bugs, that for sure!" He gets up, and realizes something. "You know, rats and things sometimes collect shiny things. Me wonder if these do, too?" Vrealk begins poking around the nest and on the dead pugwampis, looking for anything of value.

After crossing the beams and making your way back to the "throne" you find a small chest. Inside the chest lays a golden ring made in the pattens of feathers and a tiny box on a leather cord
As the oppressive feelings from the Pugwampi's fades along with them, Ayish breaths a sigh of relief. She stand quietly upon the floor of the temple looking up ito the rafters and darkness that holds most of her companions, shifting slightly with nervous tension. She looks to Mahket,
"Perhaps you should climb up and help Larrs get back down?" She smiles warmly at the little Gnome.
Celena begins to slowly make her way back down to the ground floor
"Perhaps you should climb up and help Larrs get back down?" She smiles warmly at the little Gnome.
Markhet looks up at the balcony and rafters.
"Markhet could never climb up there!" The gnome gasps, "She isn't strong enough, plus after her accident this tiny gnome is terrified of falling again. Perhaps later. Markhet will allow Larrs to feed but she suspects that Pugwampi doesn't taste very good so Markhet thinks that Larrs will soon give up on that."
As if reading the big cat's mind Larrs looks up from his meal, checks if anyone is interested in fighting him for the Pugwampi, and when he sees that no one is, Larrs spits the gremlin out allowing the tiny corpse to fall to the chapel floor. Larrs then comes to the realization that he's trapped in a tree.
"Wrowl," the lion says, sounding more like a big cat then a powerful lion. Larrs is only teenager in lion years after all. He looks down at Markhet, seeming to demand the tiny gnome get him out of this tough predicament, "Wrowl!"
"You gets down the same way you gots up you silly cat!" Markhet calls up.
"Wrowl!"
"Over here," Markhet commands, pointing to the ladder, "Larrs should go over here."
"Wrowl?"
"Markhet says that Larrs is being silly!" Markhet roars, "You heard her! Larrs is big and smart enough to figure this out, after all he got himself up there, so he can figure out how to get back down!"
Handle Animal:
Larrs reluctantly obays, first climbing halfway down the ladder then jumping the final ten feet or so:
Acrobatics:
As some folks carefully make their way down from the rafters, and Markhet is talking the lion , who seems like a big kitten right now out of the rafters, Vrealk is busy searching what he can reach of the "nest"
