[AP] Curse of the Crimson Throne by GMs Rutseg, Zek and Snowheart (Inactive)

Game Master Balacertar

Zamanda responds to Kalem with a laugh and says

Well, it might not be a waste of time to kill it. We don't know what it can do, or if it is turning into some blood golem or something, so I think best bet is just to end it now.

Then, glancing apologetically at Bash, she says

Probably won't be much of a delay. That way it can't come up from behind while we're fighting the queen.

She shoots it.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 24 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 24 + 1 = 29 (point blank)
Damage 1: 3d6 + 10 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 5, 3) + 10 + (5) + (3) + 1 = 33 (acid, electricity, point blank)

Attack 2: 1d20 + 19 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 19 + 1 = 26
Damage 2: 3d6 + 10 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 3, 6) + 10 + (4) + (5) + 1 = 35

This attack is assuming Gravity Bow ran out during the "personal emergency," but if not, then +1d6 on both damage rolls. Zamanda will renew gravity bow right before they go up to the top of the pyramid (where she assumes the queen is waiting).

Short before the pool, Bashiel activates his angelic bond, covering all the party with its mantle.

Laori jiggles at Kalem's ingenuity "It seems you and me have some work to do to join the Winged Heroes team, Ilsa! j~!jiz!"

Zamanda attacks the blood figure, the arrows draw little holes in the crimson liquid as they go through, just to close up quickly afterwards without leaving any damage on it.

Kalem has a chance to do something if he wishes so.

The blood figure seems to anger in front of the attack Forget your wasteful friends. Bend yourself to the power of Lust. I command you to pick up the sapphire Ilsa. Obey and you will be rewarded with the passion your body has all its life sought for. Obey!

Cornugon Smash on first hit: 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (6) + 38 = 44

Kalem spread his wings and moved in. Feeling confident, given that all the ooze had done thus far was talk, he swung his scythe with skill and ease. He wondered if the creature could survive without a head, and decided that the scientific process required him to conduct the experiment.

Kalem's experiment finds out the amorphous nature of the liquid has no vital points. The slashing scythe though, seems to be effective against the creature, although not as much as Kalem would hope DR, resist cold and electricity (but not fire). The last two swings are dodged by the bloody liquid. Even if Inspire Courage

The creature is not shaken by the mighty cornugon smash. The head remains severed, falling to the pool, but the liquid keeps moving as if that has no real effect on it, other than being smaller.

Round 1: Ilsa, Bashiel Round 2: Zamanda, Laori, Kalem, Blood

Ilsa smirks at Laori's quip about the wings. "I'm no angel," she says flatly.

Once again easily shrugging off the creature's compelling magic, she says "Try that on someone else. I am a master of that magic--though I doubt that would work on the weakest-minded."

Rushing forward with Kalem, she slashes at the creature with her claws. also make it hypnotic stare target as swift action

Ghoulish Claws (magic, merciful, cruel, sapping, nonlethal): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (2) + 18 = 201d4 + 6 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + (4, 6, 2) = 19 If hits, DC 23 Fort save or paralysis 1d4+1 rounds.

This thing feels like something that we really would have benefited identifying with dungeoneering... I'm keenly feeling the lack of knowledges on Bashiel! Seems like slashing might work?

When Zamanda's arrows rip through the blood ooze without injuring it in the least, Bashiel is left to ponder the best way to handle things. Just after Kalem and Ilsa rush in, he stows Serithial and flies in to at least provide Kalem with a flank. He draws a longsword as he goes. His fly speed is slow enough that his only path in includes provoking an AoO

AC44 vs. Evil thanks to Angelic Bond

When she sees Bash start to put Serithial away, Zamanda comments that he might want to keep it out and at least try, since it is enchanted to help stop the queen, and this must be one of her minions.

She isn't sure how to proceed, but she strikes her bow and starts a song, seeing that this was going to be a real battle.

Inspire and DV up.

Then she decides to try blunt arrows... maybe that would hurt it by... spattering it more or something?

Attack 1: 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 24 + 2 + 1 = 33 (inspire, point blank)
Damage 1: 3d6 + 10 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2, 2) + 10 + (2) + (2) + (6) + 2 + 1 = 29 (bludgeoning (blunt arrows), acid, electricity, sonic (DV), inspire, point blank)

Attack 2: 1d20 + 19 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 19 + 2 + 1 = 24
Damage 2: 3d6 + 10 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5, 6, 5) + 10 + (4) + (6) + (3) + 2 + 1 = 42

The blood figure seems immune to Ilsa's gaze, and the liquid changes its shape to avoid the claw, before reforming again in the same place.

Bashiel accurately notices the slashing scythe from Kalem has been the only effective tool this far, and flies around. The blood surprises him with a terribly lucky hit on the head People was certainly more obedient when I was a Runelord you hear on your heads.
AoO: slam: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41
Crit?: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37 no
Bludgeoning damage: 6d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 2, 5, 3) + 7 = 22
Wis drain: 1d3 ⇒ 2
I believe Bashiel is flying in wings, hence a Fly DC 10 is needed to avoid losing height and falling into the blood pool.

Zamanda's second arrow goes wide, but the first one crosses through the blood harmlessly. Or almost harmlessly, as the sonic reverberation seems to slightly damage the structure of the liquid.

"I do not know what it is, but it seems some kind of ooze!!!" shouts Laori, while casting an inflict spell, she holds in her hands, before moving to the edge of the pool and attempts to touch the blood, but almost falls and she just holds the charge in her hand.
Touch attack+IC: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 = 15

The strange creature casts another quickened charm person at Ilsa Take the stone Ilsa. Take. The. Stone.
Will (fails on a 1): 1d20 ⇒ 20

But Ilsa refuses, and the blood gets increasingly bothered. It does not even bother to try get out of the flank, just slams at Kalem.
Slam: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (5) + 21 = 26
Bludgeoning damage: 6d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 1, 4, 6, 5, 1) + 7 = 29
Wis drain: 1d3 ⇒ 3
But the elf dodges the blood with a spin.

The blood creature seems to regenerate from its cuts.

Everyone can act!
Ilsa and Kalem are grounded at the edge of the pool, but Bashiel needs to take hover checks (Fly DC 15) if he wants to full attack ;)

Kalem's first swing almost went completely wide as he saw Laori stumble, but he caught himself and refocused on the task at hand. The best way to defend others from danger was to remove the danger. So he threw himself at the creature, slicing away with his scythe. Seeing that it was immune to the cold, the flames on his scythe burnt with flame only. He didn't know what was needed to destroy it, but he figured that with enough force and enough fire it should be possible.

"What do you mean, when you were a Runelord?" Ilsa asks. "Tell me who you are, and what you are trying to do, and perhaps I will willingly take the stone instead of foiling your magic," she lies.

But she doesn't let up on her attacks, hasting her actions to act more quickly.

Kalem's scythe is devastating while raging. The weapon cuts harming badly the blood as he swings it despite DR and no flank. Astonishingly, the creature survives the onslaught.

Ilsa tries to get answers while doing her best with the claws, but the blood seems to have a divine protection that repels her attacks. failed to hit AC

Zamanda does not despair, she keeps trying things, and this time two of her rays strike true in the blood, and the fire really burns the blood to full effect! The creature loses all shape falling into the pool of blood.

Quickly enough though, you notice it is regenerating, reforming its shape fast.

Laori tries delivering her spell in the helpless ooze.

Bashiel is up, but we are kind of out of initiative as the creature will take a few rounds to regenerate.

Fly check to not fall: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

Bashiel shields himself from being sprayed in the eyes by the mist of blood generated by Kalem's attacks. By the time he lowers his shield, the blood ooze is a puddle atop a larger pool of blood. Seeing in trying to pull itself together again sends a shiver down his spine. He takes a quick slash against the rising blob with his longsword, then tosses the blade side to draw Serithial once more - just in case the holy blade is able to put this... Did it say it was a Runelord?... thing out of its misery. He stabs once into the pool with the tip of the blade. (Good aligned, thanks to the holy property)

Bashiel draws Serithial and when he makes to stab the puddle of blood, the blade makes it through without dealing damage, the sword shape changes by her own initiative, broadening as if it was a longsword, and cuts through with holy energy. The holy and sharp steel of the blade seems like poison to the blood, that loses all its life and completely stops regenerating.

Combat is over!

Serithial becomes a rapier once more.

The only treasure left here is the sapphire the ichor wanted Ilsa to have. It seems pretty valuable (at least several thousands) and has something written on it, but you will have to pick it to read it.

With the blood creature slain, Ilsa takes a few paces back from the pool and looks at the sapphire.

She examines it with detect magic and detect psychic significance to see if there's anything else she can determine about it.

"I could use mage hand to try to turn it and see if I can read it--without touching it," she suggests. "Or, since it wanted me to touch it so bad, maybe we should leave it alone. Or someone else could read it."

Ilsa detects magic in the sapphire and also some psychic significance.

Laori takes some of the group's diamond dust and while Ilsa scans the sapphire, she starts casting restoration, cleaning the drain on Bashiel "Better I think!!!"

"Better we leave it leave it alone Ilsa. It's almost definitely a trap considering how much the ooze wanted you to touch it. And who knows how it could trigger." Bashiel eyes it skeptically before turning to Laori. "Thanks. We're lucky it didn't get its bloody grip on more people considering how it felt the one time it touched me."

He flies off to the side, settles on the floor, and then keeps a look out for any other foes while the rest of the team searches the room.

Zamanda's first priority is to examine the pool to make sure there isn't another of those things in there

Perception: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (19) + 23 = 42

Should we drain this? I feel like we need to get rid of the blood where she is growing things.

_____

When Ilsa mentions the jewel, she mentions that mage hand is a good idea, and takes a look *without* touching it to see if she can see anything, instructing Ilsa as to how to turn it...

Appraise: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 (fail)

But doesn't have much luck.

So she tries to figure it out magically...

Detect Magic+Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (1) + 23 = 24 (Not sure, no DC posted)

She tries to process what she is seeing while waiting to see if Ilsa can get a better read on it with Psychic magic, but if not, Zamanda says

Well, the blood creature asked for you by name, so I am guessing the trap was meant for you. I'm going to see if I can tell what is going on.

She examines the gem, trying to touch it as little as possible, but she does touch it, since trying to appraise it earlier without doing so seemed pointless.

IF nothing bad happens to me from touching it, here are my further rolls.

Perception: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (16) + 23 = 39
Disable Device: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (19) + 23 = 42

"Such a shame. Well, it looks valuable enough so we can take our time to appraise it and remove whatever curse is on it at our leisure after we kill the former queen. Let's get going."

Zamanda notices the sapphire has a strong conjuration (summoning) aura, then makes it closer to find out Ilsa's name inscribed within. Using some acid she burns out the name, effectively disabling the trap left there for the mesmerist.

The aasimar's gravity bow spell comes to an end.

Turning your attention back to the central room, you observe there is another shaft going up to the floor above. The shaft requires again a 35' flight up or a climb through a very smooth surface. DC 30

Bashiel: 125/147 hp; trick (mesmeric mirror on touch attack), see invisibility 17 min, ironskin 11 min, hedging weapons 11 min for AC 41, angelic aspect (fly, acid/cold 10, DR 5/evil) 20 min, angelic bond (+7) 16 min for AC 44
Ilsa: 195+18/195 hp; trick (spell anticipation with feeblemind), spite (bestow curse, Will 22) 16 h 45 min, mirror image (7) 16 min
Kalem: 171+27/171 hp; trick (mental fallback), infuse self 145 min, heroism 145 min, see invisibility 145 min, shield 16 min
Zamanda: 116/119 hp; trick (mental fallback), hat of disguise (angelic aspect)
Laori: 116/120 hp, air walk 145 min, heroism 145 min, shield of faith 10 min

Guessing that means that we can't drain/destroy the blood pool, but if there is a way to do that, Zamanda would pursue it.

When they get to the next shaft going up, Zamanda first casts Gravity Bow again, and then, when everyone is ready to move on, she tries out her new wings, flying upward with bow in hand.

My wings give me a fly speed of 30, which I am guessing means I don't have to roll to just fly normally, but please correct me if I am wrong. It also means that it will take 2 rounds for me to fly up, in case that makes a difference as events take place.

appraise: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Ilsa frowns one last time at the sapphire. "I'm trying to decide why it wanted to single me out. No offense, but my mind is probably the strongest out of all of us. I'm not sure why it wanted to try to get me to touch it," she muses.

Looking up the next shaft, Ilsa activates her boots of spider climb and traverses the wall like a vampire.

false life: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 I wanted to cast false life, mirror image, and expeditious retreat through this whole dungeon whenever they expire.

"That's probably why." Kalem replied. "You have an uncanny ability to dominate the minds of others and to instill fear. Imagine what would have happened if that creature had brought you over to it's side? How long do you think it would take before the two of you could have dominated me, causing me to take my scythe to the team? Or Zamanda, for her to shoot us in the back? While I doubt that either of you could have quickly dominated Bashiel or Laori, it would have swung the fight against us very quickly." With a smile he said "Good thing we killed it first. Now, as there is an excuse for something more enjoyable..." Picking up Laori he once more he spread his wings and sped his way towards the top.

I'm even slower than you Zamanda, so we'll be going up gradually.

Kalem's musings send a shiver down Bashiel's spine. "Thankfully, it didn't come to that." He joins the rest of the party in flying up the shaft, after first spending a moment on one last spell. Casting Blade Tutor's Spirit - 14 mins. He keeps an eye out for any traps or ambushes up ahead.

Perception: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (9) + 22 = 31

"I'm not sure what we'll find up above, but I expect we're close to Ileosa - or, at least another clone of her. Unless this place doesn't conform to normal rules of pyramid construction, there's only so much more to go. No more than one floor or two. And small ones at that. If you have any other preparations, now is the time."

Well aware that his angelic wings are impeded by his weighty armor, Bashiel adds another layer of magical flight by invoking the inherent power in his armor (Flight mastery for 17 mins of the Fly spell. It's double the speed, which might matter. Especially if there's some dispels flying around.) Otherwise, he keeps Serithial at the ready and makes his way forth.

Ilsa nods at Bashiel's suggestion.

She casts true seeing, displacement, and greater invisibility to add to the spells she had already cast.

"Let's go," a determined but disembodied voice says from where the mesmerist stood.

Right before they were ready to go in, Kalem cast haste upon himself and the rest of the group and ablative barrier on himself.

B20 The Everdawn Pool
This huge, lofty chamber is illuminated by braziers at the four corners. A soft light also filters from two very high oval windows on the southwestern wall. The twin windows are fitted with panes of blue crystal that filter in some light from outside. Below these crystal “eyes,” a band of mosaics on the south wall forms a huge map of an ancient, unknown land. The map features a river valley with many villages, each one labeled in a strange language. To the northeast, a shaft drops away in the floor. Yet the most unusual feature of the room floats and undulates at its center—an amorphous blob of blood, over thirty feet wide, hovers and ripples in the air. Shapes periodically form on its turbulent surface: faces, hands, buildings, and figures that last only long enough to melt back into the horrific mass. Dozens of thin crystal tubes extend from the upper walls of the room to a point just above the shifting mass of blood.

When you enter the room, Ileosa takes note immediately. The pool of blood shakes and rumbles. It ripples briefly into a familiar shape—the Korvosa skyline—only to crumble as if during an immense earthquake. A moment later, Ileosa’s beautiful but furious face appears in the blood as she shrieks in rage at the interruption—she has no speech prepared for you, only fury.

As the battle begins, the blood pool explodes as it gives body to an enormous, diseased, serpentine dragon—a physical manifestation of Kazavon infused with the source of the greatest pain and blight the queen inflicted on the city: blood veil.

The dragon roars, its presence frightful.
Will DC 25 or become shaken for as long as the dragon is present.

He opens its jaws and vomits a hideous gray cloud of disease particles over you.
Fort DC 27 negates: Str drain: 1d6 ⇒ 1 and you contract mummy rot (this is a disease effect)

Ileosa starts to sing, her voice inspiring courage to all her allies throughout the room. The crown of fangs, on her head, casts mirror image for her, 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8. Her gaze crosses with Ilsa's one, her eyes of charming automatically targeting her, to no effect. She casts a spell and a duplicate of herself appears and moves flying over you, while she flies back 10' over the ground and draws a rod.
Ilsa Will (fails on a 1): 1d20 ⇒ 8

When the blood transformed into the dragon, it also let you see up to 6 more fake Queens, all looking at you with bad ideas.

Ileosa: mirror image (8), inspire courage, flying 10'
Party buffs: haste r14
Bashiel: 125/147 hp; trick (mesmeric mirror on touch attack), see invisibility 17 min, ironskin 11 min, hedging weapons 11 min for AC 41, angelic aspect (fly, acid/cold 10, DR 5/evil) 20 min, angelic bond (+7) 16 min for AC 44, blade tutor's spirit 14 min, fly 17 min

Round 1: Taniniver, Ileosa, Kalem, Zamanda, Doubles, Ilsa, Bashiel, Laori

Kalem and Zamanda can act before the fake Ileosas!

Will vs Fear with heroism, aura of courage and bashiel’s variant for resistance: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 13 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 26

Fort vs Breath: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 18 + 2 = 30

Pounce Dragon: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (4) + 36 = 40

Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Cornugon Smash on first hit: 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (1) + 38 = 39

Please add bard song if it goes up

Kalem stayed firm, only because of Bashiel’s reassuring pretense next to him. The Bloodrager steadied himself as sound and nauseating dragon-breath washed over him. Stepping forward white-wings formed on his back and he began the party by leaping forward towards the dragon without any thought towards his own safety. This was the final battle and he was ready for it!

(Can't make the knowledge history DC, and also I now have the ability to roll twice for initiative and take the highest. What's done is done, but in case it matters later...)

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Will Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29 (pass)

Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 (pass)

(Note: If anyone fails an important save at this point by only a couple of points, Zamanda can make an immediate action to help you (+2) with the spell Timely Inspiration. Let me know if anyone needs this.)

Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28 (pass)

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27 (pass)

Zamanda strikes her bow, the chime starting her song of courage. It contrasts with the other song in the room, but is still clear, speaking to you of the power to overcome even the most pernicious evil.

(Inspire Courage and Discordant Voice up)

She moves forward so she isn't over the empty shaft anymore, and so all the enemies were within the range of her discordant voice, and then she draws one of her Adamantine arrows and shoots at the only target she can be sure of... the dragon.

Attack: 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 24 + 2 + 1 = 47 (inspire, point blank)
Damage (adamantine): 4d6 + 10 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6, 3, 3, 4) + 10 + (6) + (6) + (1, 4) + (1) + 2 + 1 = 47 (gravity bow, acid, electricity, holy, sonic, inspire, point blank)

Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 24 + 2 + 1 = 36
Additional Damage if confirmed (x3 critical): 8d6 + 20 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 4d6 + 2d6 + 4 + 2 + 2d10 ⇒ (6, 1, 5, 5, 1, 1, 3, 5) + 20 + (1, 6) + (4, 5) + (5, 6, 6, 1) + (2, 5) + 4 + 2 + (2, 9) = 105 (x2 plus shocking burst)

No idea how hard it is to hit the dragon, but if that works, it is a sweet, sweet way to start a battle.

Which of the duplicate Ileosa's in the room appeared when she cast the spell? Is that the one next to us?

Kalem pounces forward, and the dragon gives him a snap for his charge, but the elf manages to strike four powerful blows on him.
AoO: bite: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (18) + 30 = 484d6 + 11 ⇒ (6, 1, 3, 5) + 11 = 26
Kalem: Fort DC 27 against Random disease: 1d6 ⇒ 3 cackle fever.

The dragon is left shaken by Kalem's powerful cornugon smash!

Zamanda speeds up and advances herself to act before the Queen.

The aasimar starts to sing and puts an arrow through the dragon's heart. His skin seems to resist all the energy damage except for the sonic one. And bonus damage dice is not multiplied in criticals, except for the burst extra damage ;)

The fake Ileosas start to chant ensemble, they all six cast the same spell in all of you: slow.
6x Will DC 18, this is a transmutation effect

Ilsa's spell anticipation triggers against one of them, and differently to the fake Ileosa in the throne, this one seems to be not immune and is left mind impaired.
Will vs feeblemind DC ?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

They also all start to sing songs of praise to Ileosa and Kazavon.

One sings a dirge of doom living all of you shaken no save, except for Bashiel immune and Ilsa far.

A second one uses countersong against any sonic or language dependent magic you might try to use.
Perform: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19

The third joins the Queen's voice into an inspire courage.

The other ones inspire greatness, two on the Queen and the dragon, and the last one on herself.

The poor feebleminded one, seems unable to even chant her usual glories.

Enemy buffs: inspire courage, countersong
Blue: inspire greatness Extra hp: 2d10 + 6 ⇒ (8, 1) + 6 = 15
White: feebleminded
Dragon: 266 damage, shaken r4, inspire greatness Extra hp: 2d10 + 14 ⇒ (2, 2) + 14 = 18

Round 1: Taniniver, Zamanda, Ileosa, Kalem, Doubles, Ilsa, Bashiel, Laori

Ilsa and Bashiel to go!
Ilsa has 8 pending saves, against the frightful presence and the breath, and 6 against slow.
Bashiel only against the breath and the 6 slows.

Fort: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 18 + 2 = 24 Failed

Will with shaken, heroism, angelic bond: 1d20 + 13 - 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 13 - 2 + 2 + 2 = 24

Diseased, shaken, but still Hasted!

bonus damage dice is not multiplied in criticals, except for the burst extra damage

Sorry about that. Which part is the "bonus" damage I shouldn't multiply on a crit... the inspire and point blank, or all of the additions to the main number from gloves, discordant voice, electric+holy damage in the arrows from my archery skill, etc? (I wasn't sure because you said "except" the shocking burst, so was wondering if the normal elemental and holy damage is also not doubled.) Just so I remember to leave it off next time I get a crit.)

_________

Zamanda sees that Kalem is in need of some Timely Inspiration, and helps him out (see above; note 2 more spell slots for people to use that, but only one immediate action per turn, so no more this round, sorry.)

OK, lets see if I can process all the saves in order.
Fort vs. disease breath: 1d20 + 21 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 21 + 3 = 43
Will vs slow: 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 19 + 3 = 23
Will vs slow: 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 19 + 3 = 37
Will vs slow: 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 19 + 3 = 25
Will vs slow: 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 19 + 3 = 25
Will vs slow: 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 19 + 3 = 41
Will vs slow: 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 19 + 3 = 28
---------
Caught by surprise, Bashiel is slowed by the first spell thrown toward him. The effect dispels the haste Kalem cast upon the whole group right before everyone entered, leaving Bashiel a good bit slower than the rest of the team.

He doesn't let it stay that way for long. He clicks the heels of his boots together (free action activate for haste), then flies in toward the blood dragon, offering a prayer to Osiris for protection as he moves. Lay on Hands, self, because I'm dumb and didn't heal up after that last encounter.

Lay on Hands: 8d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 5, 3, 3, 4, 3, 2) = 28 Should bring me back to full.

He swiftly strikes in with Serithial, hoping to end the dragon before it can do more to debilitate the party. He hopes someone else might be able to stall Ileosa and her duplicates in the mean time...

Serithial, 1-hd PA, bane, IC, haste: 1d20 + 29 - 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 29 - 5 + 2 + 1 = 43
Confirm?: 1d20 + 27 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 27 + 4 = 43
Serithial damage (P, d6A, 2d6bane, 2d6holy, d6So): 1d6 + 13 + 10 + 2 + 2 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 13 + 10 + 2 + 2 + (1) + (3, 3) + (6, 5) + (6) = 52
Bonus crit damage: 1d6 + 27 ⇒ (1) + 27 = 28

will save vs. frightful presence: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (7) + 24 = 31
fort save vs. breath (burst of adrenaline): 1d20 + 15 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 8 = 26 I think I made all the other saves, but any chance Bashiel gave me a bonus on this roll from anything? If not, I got the Str drain and the mummy rot. Could I get a verification of this before I post my turn? If I take Cha damage it will affect all my abilities.
will save vs. slow: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (11) + 24 = 35
will save vs. slow: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (18) + 24 = 42

will save vs. slow: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (7) + 24 = 31

Ilsa easily endures all of the mental effects, but only avoids the worst of the dragon's breath because of the resolute Bashiel.

With chaos erupting in the chamber, Ilsa advances forward. Focusing on Ileosa, she makes her the target of her dreadful gaze. She then raises a hand as her dark majesty fills the room.

"Your reign ends now," she shouts.

Move, swift action to make Ileosa my hypnotic stare target, cast overwhelming presence (DC 28 Will). Please note that my hypnotic stare also decreases the DC of her spells and spell-likes by 3.

Hypnotic Stare target: -4 Will, -3 attack rolls, -3 damage, -3 DC of spells, spell-like abilities and spell resistance (if demoralized, additional –2 attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks)

Although Ilsa is too far from her intended hypnotic stare target, she casts her powerful spell on the array of enemies before her.
Ilsa CL vs Ileosa SR: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (9) + 17 = 26
Ilsa CL vs dragon SR: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (17) + 17 = 34

The dragon and Ileosa fight the compulsion, but the lesser duplicates prostrate themselves worshiping the woman.

The dragon steps back and opens his jaws once more, but this time to exhale a power of decay rather than his breath. You are all affected by horrid wilting.
Horrid wilting (Fort DC 23 for half): 20d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 6, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1, 2, 3, 5, 3, 6, 1, 5, 6, 2) = 65

Ileosa: mirror image (8), flying 10', inspire greatness Extra hp: 22
Party buffs: haste r14 (Bashiel self-hasted), shaken
Bashiel: 125/147 hp; trick (mesmeric mirror on touch attack), see invisibility 17 min, ironskin 11 min, hedging weapons 11 min for AC 41, angelic aspect (fly, acid/cold 10, DR 5/evil) 20 min, angelic bond (+7) 16 min for AC 44, blade tutor's spirit 14 min, fly 17 min
Ilsa: 195+18/195 hp; trick (spell anticipation with feeblemind), spite (bestow curse, Will 22) 16 h 45 min, mirror image (7) 16 min, expeditious retreat 17 min, true seeing 17 min, displacement r14, greater invisibility r15

Laori: 116/120 hp, air walk 145 min, heroism 145 min, shield of faith 10 min
Round 2: Taniniver, Zamanda, Ileosa, Kalem, Doubles, Ilsa, Bashiel, Laori

Zamanda's turn!
She has 6 Will saves pending and 1 Fort against the dragon's spell-like.

I think you missed Bashiel's attack vs the dragon, at least based on HP totals.

Will Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (15) + 15 = 30 (pass)
Will Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29 (pass)
Will Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21 (pass)
Will Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20 (pass)
Will Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22 (pass)
Will Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31 (pass)
Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20 (fail?)

That Fort Save is a fail by 3 on a straight roll, but Bash has a bonus up for everyone as well, I believe... but not sure if I was within the distance required, or if there are other requirements. Does it apply to me and to this roll? I'm writing below as though I took the damage, but if it covers me, let me know and I will restore the HP on my sheet.

Zamanda's willpower remains firm, but when the dragon exhales a rotting breath, she is temporarily undone, and her song gets weaker for a moment as she struggles to absorb so much physical damage.

Inspire Courage and Discordant Voice still up

Zamanda steps forward 5 feet to keep the dragon within range of her discordant voice, and then shoots several adamantine arrows at it.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 24 + 2 + 1 = 40 (inspire, point blank)
Attack 2: 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 24 + 2 + 1 = 39 (haste)
Attack 3: 1d20 + 19 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 19 + 2 + 1 = 27

Damage 1 (adamantine): 4d6 + 10 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6, 2, 5) + 10 + (5) + (2) + (2, 1) + (1) + 2 + 1 = 41 (gravity bow, acid, electricity, holy, sonic, inspire, point blank)
Damage 2: 4d6 + 10 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6, 6, 1, 3) + 10 + (6) + (4) + (3, 3) + (1) + 2 + 1 = 46
Damage 3: 4d6 + 10 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 3) + 10 + (1) + (2) + (2, 6) + (6) + 2 + 1 = 40

With the retcon of the dragon already dead, I added back my HP, and these attacks would be directed at Ileosa. Also, question... it looks like one of the Ileosas is floating above the shaft. Is that accurate?

Bashiel sinks Serithial in the dragon's body, but not before he can give him a snap on his arm. Fortunately his divine health protects him from the disease on the foul jaws.
Combat Reflexes AoO: bite: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (11) + 30 = 414d6 + 11 ⇒ (6, 1, 4, 1) + 11 = 23
With his angelic bond deflecting the bite, Bashiel ends the dragon's menace that bursts in a pile of black blood, some of it feeds back to the pool.

Badly hit by the disease breath, Laori brings up her painting brushes "Protect us spirits of Korvosa!!! Let us defeat the Queen's menace!!!" and all of you except for Ilsa, who she cannot see, undergo a bizarre transformation. You look and function normally, but you are suddenly composed of countless particles that separate and reconnect to remain whole.
You get fast healing 3, immunity to bleed and critical hits as for particulate form.

As this happens, the blood pool bursts again, producing a new dragon very much like the first one! The blood accumulation pulses and recedes becoming smaller as this happens though.

Avoiding the dragon's power thanks to Bashiel's intervention, Zamanda continues singing and starts shooting arrows at the newly appeared dragon.

Two of the aasimar's adamantine and holy arrows get through the dragon's skin, painfully stabbing on him, despite the electricity and acid not harming the beast.

Ileosa wrath increases as the blood pool is forced to expend its hardly worked blood in order to defend the Queen "I should have removed you all from the map in the first day you started to meddle in my plans. Now die!" she casts a spell and a magical fog appears among you, and despite not affecting your vision, it menaces to weaken your mind defenses.
Will DC 30 or suffer a -10 penalty to Wisdom and Will saves. Bashiel is out of the area.

She then flies over Zamanda's head, switching her singing to that of a frightening tune.
Will DC 32 or become frightened. Mind inspire courage and aura of courage bonuses.

Her gaze goes this round towards Zamanda.
Will (fails on a 1): 1d20 ⇒ 8

The crown of fangs also uses dominate person on Zamanda.
Will (fails on a 1): 1d20 ⇒ 8

Black Fake Will DC 28: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Blue Fake Will DC 28: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

"The pool is draining!" Kalem yelled out. "We can do this." He added, to himself, as he launched himself at an attack against the newly formed dragon. His scythe was a blur of motion as he attacked the dragon without hesitation. Few things could stand up against such a whirlwind of destruction, and he truly hoped that the dragon, already wounded by Zamanda's arrows, wouldn't be one of them.

Will Save (group attack): 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 15 + 2 = 30

Zamanda feels herself weakening and gives herself a boost with Timely Inspiration.

That should pass the test with an immediate action. Deducting the spell slot.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (10) + 20 = 30

Zamanda recognizes the spell from a demonstration at school: Mind Fog. Dangerous. She is thankful that she was able to recognize and resist it.

Will Save (individual attack): 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 15 + 2 = 35 (pass)

Ilsa squares her shoulders and manages to withstand the worst of the dragon's breath. Her mind--a steel trap--also cannot be overcome with the Queen's weakening magic.

Ilsa renews her efforts to make the despot her hypnotic stare target, then casts dispel magic on her to hopefully remove some of her magical protections.

"Your days of meddling in anyone's plans are finished!" Ilsa retorts.

The dark mesermist then moves into a flanking position with Zamanda.

fort save (burst of adrenaline): 1d20 + 14 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 14 + 8 = 35
Will save: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (7) + 24 = 31
CL check, targeted dispel): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33

Hypnotic Stare target: -4 Will, -3 attack rolls, -3 damage, -3 DC of spells, spell-like abilities and spell resistance (if demoralized, additional –2 attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks)

This could be important, but now that she's my hypnotic stare target, the DC of her spells and spell-likes is -3.

!!! Wow, that's some crazy damage from Kalem. I'm guessing the dragon might be down again before it even got to do much. If the dragon is still up, he'll direct his attack below at the dragon instead. Otherwise, go with what's written.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31

Recognizing the spell, Bashiel resolves to avoid the area as much as possible. Since Kalem seems to have the dragon well in hand, and Ilsa's spell seems to have neutralized all the duplicates, he takes this moment to fly at Ileosa. (Using quickrunner's shirt as a swift to move and full attack) His movement is lightning fast, reaching her in scarcely a second. He stabs in with his rapier, hoping that Osiris' guidance will take his blade through the real Ileosa rather than any of the mirrored duplicates.

The frightening tune reaches up to 30 feet away, so everyone is affected, not only Zamanda.

Shrugging away any fear, Kalem steps over the new dragon and sends it back to the grave of blood things before it has a chance to act!

Ilsa dispels the Queen's highest caster level spell, her mirror images all but disappear!

Round 2: Kalem, Doubles, Ilsa, Bashiel, Laori, Round 3: Zamanda, Ileosa

Bashiel, after using the quick runner's shirt your turn would be ended so not possible to full attack this round. Shall I just take your first attack for a normal move+hit or you want to take a different action?
Without the dragon on the table, Zamanda can also go with her round 3!

Oops,I was still remembering the old quick runners shirt from before it got errata'd! Bashiel will instead smite her for +3 to hit and +21 to damage, then just make the first attack.

Zamanda continues to sing.

(Inspire Courage and Discordant Voice still up)

She steps back 5 feet to get some space to draw, and then fires adamantine arrows at the Queen.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 24 + 2 + 1 = 41 (inspire, point blank)
Attack 2: 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 24 + 2 + 1 = 37 (haste)
Attack 3: 1d20 + 19 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 19 + 2 + 1 = 38

Damage 1 (adamantine): 4d6 + 10 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 4) + 10 + (3) + (5) + (4, 1) + (4) + 2 + 1 = 40 (gravity bow, acid, electricity, holy, sonic, inspire, point blank)
Damage 2: 4d6 + 10 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4, 5, 3, 6) + 10 + (4) + (4) + (5, 5) + (5) + 2 + 1 = 54

Bashiel flies over to the Queen and stabs her profiting there are no images, but her skin is unnaturally tough, and he does not manage to pierce it. AC

Similarly, all of Zamanda's arrows just ricochet against her like simple toothpicks.

Laori attempts to silence the Queen.
Will DC 16: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (20) + 22 = 42

The crown of fangs casts again mirror image on the Queen.
Images: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Ileosa sees Serithial in the paladin's hands and rages towards him, she begins a dirge of doom, rendering everyone 30' around shaken, then casts a spell and touches Bashiel, causing him an undeniable urge to dance.
Concentration DC 27: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (5) + 31 = 36
Touch attack (touch): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24
Will DC 31 vs irresistible dance

The Queen then moves away from Bashiel, giving him an attack of opportunity, and puts Zamanda between herself and Kalem's charging line. Her projected image moves around as well.

Black Fake Will DC 28: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Green Fake Will DC 28: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
