The attack would have missed, I messed up on something, and just realized it. I had missed that the creature had dropped the grapple, so it would have been a +8-4+1 to touch, so it would still have missed.
I did not know what all was included in Yoon's +8. Either way, 17 just barely misses touch AC.
The grapple and will save are due to a special attack. If any of the claws hit, it has an Eviscerate attack that does ability damage if it beats your CMD. So.. it attacks, grapples, possibly does more damage to an ability score, then it can either stay grappled (which none of you would survive two full rounds of contact with the thing), or release the target. In this case, it released Amiri, because I did not want to kill her right off the bat. Because of this, Amiri may redo her turn and take a suitable action to follow the readied action.
Rolando: The thing appeared because it attacked. The save was technically on the bugs turn, but if you want the immediate action of the Saving Finale, I will give it to you, I just need to know what you are doing. Did you sing or cast the spell? Its gone both ways so far..
Edit: How about this: Your immediate action replaced your readied action, then on your turn you began to sting along with the knowledge roll. That will give Amiri the win for the fort save, taking no ability damage, and also give everyone the song bonuses.
Oh, ok, in that case it should be fine. My ready action was to sing. The creature attacks, triggering a save. I end my performance to cast Saving Finale as an immediate action. This shouldn't matter, as nobody hit the creature anyway. Then on my turn I sing again, bringing the bonuses back. Good?
Can we all promise to hit the creature this round? Please?
It'd be a nice thing, but right now I'm not holding out any great hopes of it, given what it must be sitting at defensively?
Next turn's Action, unless invalidated:
Move Action: Pull out a tanglefoot bag. Free Action: 'Kiss' it for luck (Fluff). Attack Action: Throw Tanglefoot Bag. Ranged Touch Attack Into Melee plus song:1d20 + 6 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 - 4 + 1 = 16
Tanglefoot Bag:
Tanglefoot Bag
Price 50 gp; Weight 4 lbs.
A tanglefoot bag is a small sack filled with tar, resin, and other sticky substances. When you throw a tanglefoot bag at a creature (as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet), the bag comes apart and goo bursts out, entangling the target and then becoming tough and resilient upon exposure to air. An entangled creature takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity and must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be glued to the floor, unable to move. Even on a successful save, it can move only at half speed. Huge or larger creatures are unaffected by a tanglefoot bag. A flying creature is not stuck to the floor, but it must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be unable to fly (assuming it uses its wings to fly) and fall to the ground. A tanglefoot bag does not function underwater.
A creature that is glued to the floor (or unable to fly) can break free by making a DC 17 Strength check or by dealing 15 points of damage to the goo with a slashing weapon. A creature trying to scrape goo off itself, or another creature assisting, does not need to make an attack roll; hitting the goo is automatic, after which the creature that hit makes a damage roll to see how much of the goo was scraped off. Once free, the creature can move (including flying) at half speed. If the entangled creature attempts to cast a spell, it must make a concentration check with a DC of 15 + the spell's level or be unable to cast the spell. The goo becomes brittle and fragile after 2d4 rounds, cracking apart and losing its effectiveness. An application of universal solvent to a stuck creature dissolves the alchemical goo immediately. Crafting this item is a DC 25 Craft (alchemy) check.
Wow, yeah. About the only other thing I can think to do is
Spoiler:
Run into the 'museum' and start breaking cases for something useful, because yeah.
Amiri gives the bug a whack with everything that she has, but unfortunately turns a paving stone into dust. Her spirit on the other hand, finally manages to lay in a good smack.
If I am going back over the last two pages correctly, it was the Visitants turn before Karasuma goes again.
The creature ceases its attack on Amiri, and and concentrates for a moment. Suddenly, a wave of unclean and evil energy flows out from the beast.
Channel:2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6 DC 13 will save for half
Karasuma tosses a tanglefoot bag into the room, but the creature deftly avoids it.

Will:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Kneeling over a bit, Yoon looks at the creature before yelling at it "That was a bad mistake bug man!!"
Raising her arms, seemingly to balance herself on the table, the air then bursts into flames around her before launching at the monster!
Elemental Overflow Burning Fire Blast:1d20 + 8 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 - 4 + 1 = 20 Damage:2d6 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + 2 + 2 = 11DC 16 Reflex, or on fire until put out. If caught on fire, fire resistance is dropped by amount of damage done for two rounds.
That is just what I was about to ask for clarification on.. Thank you!
Amiri takes the full blast of negative energy, but she decides that she has had quite enough of this beast and deals it a blow that audibly cracks the carapace. The beast rears in pain and lets out a horrible alien screech as her ax does its work. Unfortunately, her spirit is not quite so nimble.
Jirelle shrugs off most of the negative energy, then just barely manages to evade the leg that flies out at her as she tumbles through the doorway. Unfortunately neither her rapier nor her spirit performs as well.
Rolando pushes away most of the negative effects as well, before sending some much needed healing Amiris way.
Yoon pushes away the negative forces too, before lighting the ugly bug up.
Reflex Save:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Still reeling from the powerful blow dealt by Amiri, it is unable to dodge the blast of flame and it catches fire.
You guys have officially caused more damage to this thing than my group did!!!
On Fire:1d6 ⇒ 3
The Visitant hisses angrily as it combats the flames surrounding it
Reflex:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
"Bold May Post"
The Visitant- 51/decreased fire resist x1 rnds
Party
Hooray for ongoing fire damage! From the power description: "Foes on fire take 1d6 points of fire damage each round until the fire is extinguished." In addition, Yoon gets a +2 bonus to hit creatures on fire, so this wonderful turn of events may continue!
Now that I know the Acrobatics was successful, I've moved Jirelle to the other side, and Rolando back to where he was. Here's hoping there is no dying in my future.
This leaves an opening for Karasuma to step into, with flanking and sneak attack! (Fingers crossed.)
Heh. I figured you were just waiting until its turn. (Ah, I see you did that in your edit!) That was more a comment to everyone else about how much I like the Kineticist.
Rolando drops his wand and steps up, replacing Jirelle's position and deciding to press the attack.
Let's see what you can do, fiend!
He waves the flag menacingly at the Visitant while the spirits intervene.
Standard to Aid Another on Amiri's attack, fighting defensively, target AC 10, heroism, weapon song:1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 10 - 4 = 11
Phew, close but I'll take it! Amiri, take another plus 2 and smack this guy! Karasuma, I'm assuming Amiri can attack and then retreat 5 ft, so you can then take her place with the flank.
Wow, go to work and suddenly ACTION! *coughs* Okay... let's see... first order of business...
Will Save:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
"So as I was saying how about we...OW F-----!!"
Yeah, that'll leave a mark.
Still, if Amiri steps back, then Karasuma will step up and pray to hell that the others have his back, giving a guarded strike against the creature attempting to target the already gashed carapace.

Aww, it put out the flames.... Let's do it again!
Giggling madly, the child from Tian Xia spreads her arms wide as another roar emits from the air as a sphere of fire surrounds Yoon. With a gleeful shrill in her voice, the child flings another ball of flame at the creature!
Fire Blast will always be a touch unless put into certain composite blasts. Also, as a side note, the spreading arms wide is her gathering power so she doesn't burn herself.
Yeah, that should hopefully do it? Willing to keep my action as 'next round' if Amiri either falls or moves, count it as a delay if needed for continuity... Heading to work, won't be able to post for at least nine possibly ten hours.
Well, three of you and two monster-adjacent spaces, you should be able to rotate indefinitely if you each take a 5' step on your turn. But maybe raging doesn't allow for finer tactics like that. That's up to Amiri!

Sorry guys, I will update first thing in the morning ASAP. I got back later than planned, and only got so far through my campaign tab. Alarm clocks will start ringing at 0230, and I need all the sleep I can get.

Love the commentary on here.. but Disappointed that I didn't get to hear Jirelle singing! lol.
Jirelle pokes at the Mi-Go again with astounding effect, but it does not seem to do as much damage as she thinks it should.. DR/Slashing But her spirit is just not as lucky.
Rolando steps forward into melee, assisting Amiri in her havoc causing mayhem. His spirit, however, is not as useful.
Amiri and Karasuma dance into and out of reach of the creature, each dealing well aimed blows that manage to break through the carpace.. just in time for Yoon to gleefully light the thing on fire again. With a final ear piercing screech, it falls at your feet.
See? And yall were going to run after just the first round of contact!!! Though I was nice and didn't take cover from the doorway into consideration.
You were also nice and channeled that one round instead of killing Amiri. Probably some other niceness as well.
The crit causes panache to go back up to 2
Is everyone alright? That was some ugly piece of work!"
Jirelle skewers the carcass again, where she thinks a vital organ might be. Then searches the area. This creature acted intelligently, with spells and cleric abilities. Perhaps it has some loot.
Perception:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29 Great. *Now* I roll high. Ugh.
Nice job everyone! That guy was a beast. I can heal with wands before we proceed. Normally I would say let's spread the wealth and alternate using everyone's wand charges. But with so many pregens--should we use up all of their wand charges first? Do you all have wands of CLW?

*waves his 'can't be used again by him today' wand* "Use this to cover the difference after that?"
As the party is healing up and making sure that the creature really *IS* dead, yall also take a peek around. On the creature, you find 2 scrolls and 3 wands all secured to the crispy critter with cunningly fashioned thongs. Elsewhere in the room, Jirelle finds several sacks that contain strange jewelry and unusual sculptures.
As the party mills about, you also notice extensive notes spread out on the bloody workbench.
@Amiri, run through the charges of Jirelle's wand, as you need. Rolando is casting.
"Yah, I'm no help with this magic stuff," Jirelle says, looking at the scrolls and wands of the plant-cleric-monster-alien-thing. "Rolando or Yoon, does any of this mean anything to either of you?"(Try to identify via UMD with the higher DCs?)
