Casting: When casting a spell defensivly if you fail you do not automaticly lose the spell, rather you provoke an attack as you normally would for not casting defensive. If you are hit you must make a concentration check dc 10+damage taken if you fail this check you lose the spell.
Rolls:
Many rolls will be handled by the GM in secret.(don't worry, I don't fudge.)
Any result that can influence the character behavior will not be rolled open.
Rolls that will be handled by the GM:
Perception
Sense Motive.
if you make the check I will send you a pm or make a post and put it in a spoiler depending on the situation.
Sometimes I will roll Initiative others I will ask you to roll depending on the situation. In some situation (rarely) I will bypass init entirely and have you all go first and enemies second or have enemies go first and you all go after.
Combat rules:
I'm a fair GM, I dont roll combat in secret, I don't change results, I don't ignore bad calls from the characters.
Sometimes, character dies, but I'm not a player killer, if I think that an encounter will be easy handled, when it should be more challenging, I will make it a more challenging, if the party it's not prepared to face something, I will drop hints, if they insist... well killing one or two players never made me lack sleep...
Actions:
I'm a GM that do not punish the character for trying something new or cool, or even strange. Visual appealing actions are encouraged, the dc will of course depend on what are you trying, but you can try! If what you want to do is wicked cool, I can even bend the game mechanics to allow it! The most importat part is: You are villains. Villains are smart, resourceful and have style! Have you ever seen a memorable villain that could just swing his sword and do nothing more?
Posting Rate
If it could be done, I expect 1/day posting, if you can post more, it will really good.
During weekend, this rule does not apply. If you are able to post, great! But dont stress over this, everyone need some time to rest (In my case, I need time to play and DM :D on my tabletop games).
Level up
Aside from character creation, when you level up, if you want something not from core rulebook, you'll need to search it inside the game. basicly what you need to do is just show in game your character is searching for that knowledge. This rule is not meant to prohibit anything, I just don't like something like this: "Character always as a full caster, never picked up a sword in his entire life, and then he gain a new level and says: Master, I'll level up as a fighter now..."

No fire damage from room due to Fire Resistance. Fireball 1 Ref:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 2713 damage, takes none due to Fire Resistance. Fireball 2 Ref:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 1744 damage, takes 19 due to Fire Resistance.
Tessai throws her arm over her eyes to shield herself from the twin blasts, face scorched an angry red when she puts it back down. "If I could get to you, you'd be dead, monsters!"
Tess is out of ranged options, so she'll just stand there.
Varn sighs in frustration and targets the salamander not currently engaged by Aeron. His couples his mastery over the Void and his new mythic power, his eyes suddenly changing to a solid black color and begin to leak an inky like fluid... He weakens the salamander's ability to resist his magic and then suddenly summons an angry looking, very dark cloud around the outsider! Thunder echoes around the room and lightning flashes around the salamander!
Coupled Arcana to activate Reveal Weakness -4 to AC and all Saving Throws for 1 round on the salamander Aeron did NOT attack. Then -1 MP to activate Wild Arcana to cast Greater Aggressive Thundercloud in the same square as the saladmander. He must make a Fort Save DC 22 for be stunned for 1 round.

All of a sudden, his perception of the heat in the room soared and his shirt was instantly soaked in sweat.
You still have my communal Resist Fire going so you are good for the first 20 points of fire each turn. Just keep making this reflex saves. :)

Last turn Tzadkiel would have taken 5 damage from life like to heal Aeron 5. Aeron,I am unsure if you have recorded those hp. I Had not deducted them yet. Incoming from the Shield other Tzad takes 11 more after the mythic DR. So he is at 71 hp. I need a way to get down there. What are the options again? He could cast Air walk for a mythic point...

I asked above if you can re-state the options for getting down onto the floor again. I am somewhat confused about those options. Being away from the fighters is greatly hampering my ability to help them.
With the elevator on the floor the fastest way is to simply jump down and take 2d6 falling damage. You can make an acrobatics check dc 10 to reduce the damage to 1d6

Heck Yes. I would have done this rounds ago if I knew it was an option. I was thinking there were bars or a cage or the like. Now I need an updated map. Gotta see if I can keep Aaron alive.
CMD is 32...Not impossible for you just unlikely. No point now since those punches are enough to drop it.
In a moment of desperation Aeron punches the Salamander on the tail in a downward motion causing it to lean forward and with a fierce uppercut to the lower jaw sends the monster sinking into the molten steel and it doesn't look to be coming back up.

Tessai, frustrated at not being able to do anything to help, was luckily close enough to grab Aeron before he, too, sank into the molten metal. "I have you, Aeron!"

Tzadkiel takes 20 from the shield other on Aeron's turm. On Tzadkiel's turn he takes 5 more through the life link. As his familiar returns to him he calls out. I will not forsake you and nor will Milani. Burning a mythic point Tzadkiel casts Air walk on himself and begins to walk towards Aeron. I need to know the range after Tzad closes 20' towards Aeron. If Aeron is within 2'tzad has two ways he might channel still this turn.

So... What happened with Varn's spell? Were either of the salamanders affected? I didn't see any saving throws vs his spell. That will completely effect how the salamanders would have acted that round, considering a failed Fort saving throw renders one of them as Stunned and unable to act. All posted here.

"Blast it! I can't even SEE him anymore!" Said Orlando as he raised his arm up to shield his face.
Turning from the firey blaze, he darted across the room and ran up the elevator shaft to the platform they had entered the cavern at. He sheathed his throwing axe and picked up his crossbow.

Varn flies over the top of the fire wall and directs the thundering cloud into the midst of the remaining salamander, while weakening it against the spell. "You cannot run from me beast! Give up now and you may live!"

Standard Action - Reveal Weakness on the salamander, -4 penalty to AC and Saving Throws until beginning of next round. Move Action - Direct the stormcloud into the same square as the salamander.

The life link between the fighter and oracle transfers 5 more points of life between the two. Then Tzadkiel continues to descend and move towards Aerin, stopping short of where his channel might catch the wounded Salamander hiding behind his wall. Then he channels to heal, envoking Milani's Beacon of Hope ability in doing so. Note the will exclude the bodies of all the Salamanders he can see.

Varn looks around at his gathered companions. "Well, then was quite the drawn out battle. Let us take a quick stock on our resources to see if we should push forward, or fall back for the time being."
Varn used half of his mythic points on this one and a few of his spells, but is able to push forward if everyone else is good.
This fight was hard won, true but much of my power remains. I say we go forward to see what these creatures were guarding. I suspect it will be worthwhile.

Varn's eyes land upon the forge. "Ah yes, the forge. This will be a very welcome addition to our arsenal. If you would all give me a brief moment, I would like to examine this relic."
The Forge is truly a marvel. Twenty feet tall and made of mithril it is covered in carved in magical runes.
The forge is currently imbued with a powerful aura of corruption that spread out to the the entire lower level. Demons within this aura will be more powerful. In order to remove this aura one would need to cast dispel evil and dispel chaos within 1 round of each other. While this aura remains it will also be impossible to convert evil weapons to good.
You find an armoury in an adjacent room. Hundreds of weapons and armour of masterwork quality are lined up here.

Varn steps back from the forge and glances at his companions. "There is an issue. The forge has been affected by a potent corruption that is emanating an aura of corruption that is spreading to cover the entire lower level. All demons within this aura have been empowered and we cannot use the forge in its current state to convert evil items. I believe we can remove this aura, but it would require a successful casting of Dispel Evil immediately followed by a Dispel Chaos spell. As those are spells of a divine nature, I am unable to remove this curse."

Cool. I'm thinking we should run that weapon of Staunton's through the anvil. I know it's not detecting as evil, but somehow, I doubt an antipaladin was using a weapon imbued with rainbows and unicorns.
Hp at full. Ready to move on.
Aeron tosses the spear aside. "I hate this place. Let's find that banner and kill us a shadow demon."

Likely going to cast a daylight or similar effect (Tzadk knows both Daylight and Brightest Light, which is sorta Daylight +) after hearing Varn's brief.

Orlando frowned as he looked left.
"I don't like the dark. While our casters acertain a solution for that, let us discover what is behind these doors." Declaimed Orlando whiled looking over the area around the doors.
At that, he started examining the doorway closely.
