@Varian: Sickened is only -2 to Str, which relates to a -1 penalty to hit and damage... which is good, because you need a hit! Bad news, damage could be higher. You need to enchant your weapon!
Varian manages to hit the creature... but not enough to wound the beast!

Shilyn struggles as the beast's tentacle wraps around her.
escape:1d20 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 6 = 16
seriously?!? dice bot.. I hate you in a most profound and half-elvish fashion.. and I will live a looong time!
Seeing her effort is somewhat futile, she changes tactics and twists her wrist to run the sharp edge of her rapier along the appendage as best she can as she gives it another try.
Shilyn struggles, but fails to break herself free.
Owai casts another spell to try and aid Shilyn's escape.
Owai Concentration:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Shilyn becomes nice and greasy now!
@Shilyn: _+10 to your CMD for grapple and +10 on your attempts to escape a grapple!
The Spawn moves to maintain its grapple on the half-elf.
Grapple @ Shilyn + 10:1d20 + 19 - 6 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 19 - 6 + 5 = 36
Shilyn is now pinned under its mass, several teeth around the tentacle forming and punching numerous holes into her!
Shilyn Con damage:1d4 ⇒ 4
Shilyn stains her armor with her blood as its pools on the ground below her. 10 more damage due to Con damage
Deaglan casts another spell to aid Shilyn before trying to hammer the beast!
@Shilyn: You can attempt one more immediate action Escape Artist check at a +6 bonus, with another +10 due to grease. This will eat up your swift action for your upcoming turn.
It has blindsight, so those penalties don't incur unless you're outside of that range!
Varian slams his weapon against the creature, it howling out in pain from the first successful weapon strike at it. Meanwhile, Mahasi lands more acid to burn away at the Spawn that is crushing Shilyn with its mawwed tentacle.

"You're really making me upset," she mumbles as she gives a sudden twist to her body in effort to get out from under the tentacles pinning her to the floor.

Nope :( Thought I had a folio, but guess not.
Edit: Yup, do have a folio.. tucked in at the end of my PF books on the shelf, still in shrinkwrap since I never get a chance to play tabletop..Can scan it and E-mail to you if need be.
Mahasi coats more of the beast in acid, anguishing noises echoing through the chamber as the stench seems to become stronger as the beast slowly melts away.
Also forgot to note that Owai has taken 21 damage, or nearly half his HP.

Tucking her acid wand into her belt, Shilyn pulls one of the remaining two wands from the holder strapped to her left thigh. She taps herself with it and mutters a command word..

"This thing is really starting to make me upset!" she grumbles. Quickly replacing the healing wand in its holder, she casts her gaze at the creature and mutters a few words of magic, releasing a dark shadowy bolt..
Mahasi launches one last bolt of acid just to annoy my book keeping <_<, sizzling more odoriferous flesh while Varian's newfound strength isn't enough to land a blow on the Spawn.
Realizing his chance to escape is near nil, Owai slices again at the Spawn while maintaining his defensive stance, despite his grappled state.

Grabbing the wand from her belt where she'd tucked it, Shilyn activates it and spends one of her few remaining charges to send another acid arrow at the beast..
If Owai is still conscious, Varian casts liberating command on him, otherwise, he casts cure serious wounds and steps forward to touch him within the grapple.
Before Varian or Shilyn can react, the last bit of acid from Shilyn's bolt sizzles, the Spawn's grasp on Varian slips as the beast falls unconscious on top of Owai.
Deaglan takes his hammer and smashes the Spawn, ending the creature once and for all. It roars once more time, as if its pent up fury and madness thrashes out once more before it slops away into a foul-smelling mess, leaving only a noxious, crusty stain of white powder on the ground and Owai. The sound of a sickening sigh seems to emanate from the earth itself. It reverberates and a noise echoes from above: the shrieks, cackles and caws of the crows flocking Carrion Hill. The cries echo out into a constant, deafening sound that shows no sign of ending.
DC 15 Kn: Religion:
Some legends call of how some birds act as psychopomps - entities of Pharasma who conduct spirits or souls to the Great Beyond. The fact that the birds carry on as such and for so long indicate that a powerful soul has indeed moved on, although it may also be a sign that the birds could not carry it away on their own...
The rain itself lightens up; it does not stop but now instead of containing a humid fear and panic, its cool cleansing waters seem to try and wash away the horror and terror that plagued Carrion Hill.
Exploring the rest of the cavern where Varian was about to explore before the sounds of the Spawn reached the church, the party finds that this is indeed Keeper Hyve's stash, a ground of raw ingredients from the violet fungi and a dumping ground for people that were too nosy, including a prominent Crow.
A pair of Crows await for you at the ruins of the church. "You-you're alive! Is it done? Is it over?", one asks, obviously exhausted from the day's events.
You guys are done! Woot! I'll be reporting this event by tomorrow and have Chronicle sheets out by then, too. If I don't have your email address and your PFS info for reporting, please PM me. Likewise, I need any Day Job checks you have.
Finally... do you guys want to go back to Thornkeep or do something else? And if so, shall I try and look for another couple players?

"Done? The beast is dead, but our struggles against the darkness is never done. That was... an enlightening experience. We have lived, and we have learned. All those among you who called down the darkness have been dealt with."
He fights a slight pang of hunger as the thinks of the dead keeper, body lying forgotten in the muck and water.
