Touch attack triggers mesmeric mirror, though if she has true seeing that'll do squat against her. If it does hit, Bashiel is immune vs. compulsions thanks to Aura of Righteousness, so unless Ileosa has some special ability to pierce through, he'll just shrug it off.

@Kalem: Caster's usually have worse CMD, so stealing might work. Unfortunately, it'll be tough to do so while she's mirror imaged. I'm also a little worried that the crown can take over people it touches.

Serithial damage (P, d6A, 2d6bane, 2d6holy, d6So): 1d6 + 13 + 10 + 2 + 21 + 2 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 10 + 2 + 21 + 2 + (5) + (3, 5) + (4, 3) + (5) = 76

Bashiel quickly strikes out as Ileosa starts to slip away. The sudden blur of mirror images around her vexes him, but even had they not been there, it was a sloppy stab. He follows after her "You cannot outrun your crimes and the city is lost to you. This is the end." He strikes once more, hoping to somehow find the right image among many.

Serithial, 1-hd PA, bane, IC, BTS, haste, smite: 1d20 + 29 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 29 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 3 = 43

Still singing, Zamanda sees what the queen is trying to do, and steps aside so that Kalem can more easily attack. She stays close enough for her Discordant Voice to be effective, however... not sure it will work on the evil bard/devil/whatever combination, but might as well try everything possible.

Then she takes a single shot, knowing she will have to get lucky to be able to hit her hyped up defenses.

Attack (adamantine): 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 24 + 2 + 1 = 32 (inspire, point blank)

but she isn't lucky this round.

The way open and the dragons dead, Kalem shot forward, propelled by his wings. His scythe blazed with energy as he went about attacking anything, image or real, that looked like the Queen.

Bashiel destroys an image as the Queen leaves, then another after he approaches once more.
Image: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Zamanda's single attack is not fortunate, but her movement let's Kalem pounce and destroy two images, his third being very close to mark, but being shaken by the dirge of doom, he only manages to shatter another image.
Image: 1d7 ⇒ 7
Image: 1d6 ⇒ 2

The Queen protests "The Everdawn Pool is mine! I will destroy you and then gain ethernal youth!"

Round 3: Kalem, Doubles, Ilsa, Bashiel, Laori, Round 4: Zamanda, Ileosa

Ilsa to go!
Remember you cannot use Somatic components while under a fear effect (the dirge of doom)

"You can keep the pool--we'll bury you in it!" Ilsa exclaims.

She casts irresistible dance, then moves toward the despot to touch her. With her true seeing sight, she has no trouble distinguishing which is the true Ileosa.

irresistible dance, DC 28 Will

Ilsa sees the Queen through her illusions and touches her causing her an hilarious caper and prance while flying over the pool of blood!
Will-stare DC 28: 1d20 + 22 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 22 - 4 = 30

Laori holds up her paint brushes and electrical sparkles jump all through the room striking all the Ileosa's with a chain lightning.
Electrical damage: 17d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 5, 3, 4, 4, 5, 1, 4, 4, 6, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 6) = 56

Ileosa's wounds quickly start to regenerate.

She dances in the air while shouting in a fury, but unable to produce actual words as Ilsa's magic forces her to keep the dance going.

This gives Bashiel, Kalem and Ilsa an opportunity to attack her.

Despite the shock, the fake Ileosa's keep worshiping Ileosa seeing how she made the Queen dance at Zamanda's rhythm with just a single touch.

The Queen finishes her dance at Ilsa's round.

The Crown of Fangs shines using magic on Ileosa.

Round 4: Kalem, Doubles, Ilsa, Bashiel, Laori, Round 5: Zamanda, Ileosa

Everyone can act!

Ilsa strikes out with her claws when given an opportunity. Then Ilsa sees something only she can see.

"She's an illusion!" Ilsa exclaims to her allies, pointing toward where she's really gone. "A mislead spell!"

With her allies potentially unable to see her, Ilsa attempts a coup de grace to end the fight--she assaults the tyrant's mind with a feeblemind spell.

There were many things that Kalem expected to happen, but to see the Queen dance? That caught him by surprise. He almost stopped to watch in stunned amazement, but Ilsa snapped him out of it. Coming back to his senses, he followed her lead and attacked.

I assume that since irresistible dance forces you to dance in place, Ileosa hasn't moved from her current position, despite the mislead?

Bashiel reaches out without hesitation at the sudden opportunity, stabbing for the heart of one of the Ileosas, and hoping his instincts are good. He follows up by lancing in with a flurry of stabs at the invisible Ileosa, not misled by the crown's magic. For a moment, he falls into a pure trance of identifying openings and taking advantage.

With the Queen's dance, the party strikes. Ilsa's attack goes wide, but Bashiel and Kalem shatter an image each, leaving a single one around her.
Images: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Ilsa makes the final assault on the Queen's mind, but this time the magical protections block's the mesmerist magics.
CL+stare vs SR: 1d20 + 17 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 17 + 3 = 21 I forgot the Queen has SR

Informed by the mislead, and thanks to his see invisibility, Kalem follows swift attacking the invisible copy of Ileosa, shattering one of the images, and managing two hits only thanks to the queen's dance reducing her armor and stopping her dirge of doom.
Images: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Bashiel attacks full, also striking thrice, two of the times on vital spots. When Serithial strikes it recognizes its ancestral enemy in Ileosa, and the blade hits like poison to her, sapping her energy and halting the Queen's regeneration!

As Ileosa's health quickly drops, her contingency spell kicks in casting a heal on her, restoring a large amount of vitality, and removing the feeblemind state if Ilsa would had been successful on it.

Things are looking pretty badly for the Queen, as she looks badly injured even after the heal and her wounds are not regenerating.

On hearing about the mislead spell, Laori runs hastened after Zamanda. Taking a small bottle she applies an ointment there on her eyes, casting true seeing over the aasimar. All the illusions surrounding the Queen suddenly become clear for Zamanda, and she can shot freely at her without penalty "Zamanda, kill the monster!!!! It is yours!!!"

Round 4: Kalem, Doubles, Ilsa, Bashiel, Laori, Round 5: Zamanda, Ileosa

Zamanda to go!

Zamanda looked at the hope in Laori's eyes, and could for the first time see in her what Kalem did. She knew she would disappoint that hope, since her arrows up to now hadn't been able to hit the queen at all... they bounced off like toothpicks. ... But those eyes meant that she would try anyway.

She nodded her thanks and her agreement, then still singing, turned towards the true queen, trying again to hit her with the adamantine arrows, and praying mentally for help from whoever cared to make a difference for good to guide her hand.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 24 + 2 + 1 = 33 (inspire, point blank)
Attack 2: 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 24 + 2 + 1 = 47 (haste)

Crit Confirm?: 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 24 + 2 + 1 = 42

I don't think that is a confirm because a 41 didn't hit her before... but at least the 20 means I hit her once.

Zamanda puts her faith in her shots, and her preparation, as she well chose adamantine arrows for the fight. Two of her arrows effectively bounce again, but one, one strikes true, and with the diminished defenses due to the Queen's dance, the strike goes through her heart.
Triple damage, taking Damage 2 and 3 without the extra die and adding burst: 46 + 25 + 27 + 1d10 ⇒ 46 + 25 + 27 + (7) = 105

Ileosa opens her eyes wide, lurches for the arrow stopping her dance, and removes it from her heart, looking at it and the blood filling her hands and arms. She looks in shock as the wounds are not regenerating, halted by Serithial "No... i-it... can... not... be..." her eyes slowly close and she collapses to the ground, quickly bleeding to death!

Combat is over!

Ilsa watches as Zamanda's killing blow strikes the Queen in the heart.

Hardly believing they had done it, Ilsa reaches out with her mind to ensure the former ruler was truly dead. Raising her arm, the despot rises from the ground to mirror Ilsa's actions, blood continuing to pour from her wounds. Using Continued Animation--mainly to make sure it works and that she's truly dead, and maybe partly to creep everyone out.

Once Ilsa is satisfied she is no more, she drops her arm to her side and Ileosa's form collapses with it.

"She's--dead," Ilsa murmurs, barely believing it still. Her niece, Brigit, would be safe and Ilsa could raise her. She thought of her companions that had been lost along the way. She thought of her hometown--Korvosa--safe once more.

"We did it!" she exclaims to her companions, happier than she had been since this started. "We did it!"

Suddenly thinking of something important, the mesermist quickly removes the crown from the Queen's head, kicking it with her toe.

"Uh--just in case."

The flames on Kalem’s scythe died and his wings faded, leaving him standing before the fallen queen. ”It doesn’t feel real.” He said, looking at the corpse. ”Is that it? Did we do it? Is it all done?” He asked, looking around at his companions.

Ilsa manages to do her animation on the Queen.

When she finishes and kicks the crown, the crown casts dominate person on her once more.
Will fails on a 1: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Echoing Kalem's question, the blood pool in the middle of the room suddenly shudders and shakes.

Black Fake Will DC 28: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Green Fake Will DC 28: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
White Fake-feebleminded Will DC 28: 1d20 + 6 - 3 ⇒ (8) + 6 - 3 = 11
Pink Fake Will DC 28: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Blue Fake Will DC 28: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23
Cyan Fake Will DC 28: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
The fake Ileosas kneel and keep worshiping Ilsa.

Zamanda looks shocked for a second that her arrow actually did that much damage and the queen wasn't healing from it, but then she smiled. Of course, her prayers had been answered. Someone was listening after all. Korvosa could continue to heal... the queen would not be returning.

She stops singing, assuming that the other duplicates would be dispatched quickly now that the queen was dead.

After Ilsa has her fun, Zamanda starts looting the queen's body. She glances at the crown but doesn't approach it from where it has been kicked. She asks Bash

So, what do we do with that? Can Serithial break it, perhaps? I'm not sure that will work, but it would be something.

To the group she adds

...I also think we need to trace these crystal tubes back and destroy the ability for this place to do whatever blood magic it does. I don't pretend to understand it, but hopefully we can break it anyway. ... Might have to kill that fish Ilsa made friends with after all though. Err... unless you think he would be calmed by feeding him her body? I'm still a little bitter, have to admit, and I wouldn't mind seeing that, but since she was his friend and all, it also might upset him.

After gathering up any loot, Zamanda will take a look at the crystal tubes up here and see if there is anything she can do... would they melt/shatter if she applied a lot of fire magic, for instance? Or could Kalem hack them enough to break them?

Rolling Perception and Disable Device since they both seem relevant to the task

Perception: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (8) + 30 = 38
Disable Device: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (16) + 23 = 39

Zamanda will help if we need to coup de grace all of these doubles, but if they are like that blood creature downstairs, it might take Serithial to do it.

Fearful of the crown's continuing influence, Bashiel doesn't think to celebrate. Instead, he marches right over to where the crown lies kicked and strikes at it with Serithial. The blade's purpose was to fight against Kazavon... so perhaps it would serve to destroy the crown's teeth, or at least end its powers.

Serithial, 1-hd PA, bane: 1d20 + 29 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 29 - 2 + 2 = 34
Serithial damage (P, d6A, 2d6bane, 2d6holy): 1d6 + 13 + 10 + 2 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 10 + 2 + (5) + (4, 1) + (2, 5) = 48

I'll happily smite it as well, if that's something that could be done against a maybe-sentient artifact.
---
Edit: ! Zamanda we had the same idea!

Zamanda kneels by the Queen's body and takes her ring of splendid security and greater quicken metamagic rod. The Queen has many other things, but it will take more time to pick them up and understand how they work.

The aasimar looks up and determines the crystal could be broken with a bit of effort. She also sees someone in gas form could enter through one of the holes here and visit the core of the device down below.

Bashiel directs his attacks at the fallen crown.

The Crown of Fangs can only be destroyed if struck, while unattended, by a holy sword forged by a once-mortal god. Fortunately, the blade Serithtial is one such blade. As soon as Bashiel strikes it the crown shatters in pieces with a howl of fury!

When this happens, the pool of blood shudders and shakes once more. A draconic talon lances out from one side, an immense skeletal wing from another. The entire room trembles and heaves, and a growing roar fills the air, quickly rising to deafening levels.

Lightning crackles and iron chains writhe and snap through the room.

Everyone must take 3 different save rolls, all DC 25
Fortitude: This save is to resist being stunned for 1 round by the cacophonous noise echoing through the room.
Reflex: This save is to avoid the blasts of lightning and thrashing chains, a success halves the damage.
Bludgeoning damage: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 1, 6, 2) = 16
Electrical damage: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 5, 4, 5) = 17
Will: This save is to avoid having fragments of thought stolen; each failed saving throw results in 2 points of damage to Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.

All of the fake Ileosas fall to the ground dead as the lightning arcs and chains strike on them. Only the white one survives, stunned on the middle of the round by the cacophony.

Everyone can take 1 single round worth of actions, please.

1

All with +2 heroism and +2 from Bashiel's aura

Fort: 1d20 + 18 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 18 + 2 = 38
Ref with haste: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 27
Will: 1d20 + 13 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 27
If having fragments of his mind stolen is mind affecting then it is a 27. If it is not, then it is a 24. If it is not, then Zamanda, I'd like to use timely inspiration for it to be passed so he doesn't take ability point damage

Kalem was fortunate, in that he was trying to be helpful when Serithtial shattered the crown. The room exploded in a cacophony of sound and violence, of which Kalem was shielded by the clones of the queen. When the dust settled, only one still stood. Kalem flew over with his scythe and put an end to the last one, fairly certain that doing so was needed for their cleanup job.

Ilsa does as well as possible avoiding the thundering cascade of lightning and chains. Unsure what his happening, Ilsa teleports to the corner of the room.

It does not seem done quite yet--

dimension door to corner

fort (burst of adrenaline): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (11) + 15 = 26
refl (burst of adrenaline): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36
will: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (20) + 24 = 44

Moved Zamanda to where she would have been beside the queen's body.

Zamanda finds a stunning ring on the queen as she is beginning to loot it, and tries it on, pocketing the invisibility ring she had been wearing on that hand. Not necessarily keeping it if someone else wants it, but might come in handy just now (+5 deflection bonus to AC, +5 resistance bonus on saving throws, and spell resistance 22).

Zamanda is satisfied to see the Crown of Fangs destroyed, but when yet another dragon starts coming out of the pool, she wonders if they have inadvertently unleashed something... maybe they should have destroyed the crown elsewhere?

Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 5 + 2 = 21 (ring + aura)

Unfortunately, the noise overwhelms her briefly, and she is unable to do anything to prepare for the onslaught.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 16 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 16 + 5 + 2 = 38 (pass)
Will Save: 1d20 + 15 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 15 + 5 + 2 = 42 (pass)

Well, at least I passed the scarier ones, I guess. (No action during the preparation round, because she is stunned.)

Fortitude: 1d20 + 21 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 21 + 3 = 37
Reflex: 1d20 + 15 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 3 = 21
Will: 1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 19 + 3 = 27

The sudden force erupting from the pool momentarily pushes Bashiel back. His body is singed by lightning and battered by chains, but barely a second passes before he settles back into his stance. "Kazavon's spirit is not done with us yet. Brace yourselves." He advances to stand next to the pool, taking a defensive posture as he offers a prayer to Osiris to galvanize the party against this evil spirit.

Lay on Hands, then total defense.

Lay on Hands: 8d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2) = 18

Kalem pounces over the remaining fake Ileosa, finishing it before the lightning can do the job.

The lightning and chains strike some of you, while the noise becomes almost overwhelming.

Laori+divine bond Fort: 1d20 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 6 = 35
Laori+divine bond Ref: 1d20 + 8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 6 = 15
Laori+divine bond Will: 1d20 + 13 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 13 + 6 = 37
Laori points up forcing her voice over the cacophony "The chains! That is a sign of Zon-Kuthon’s favor!!!"

With each passing second, an immense shape of blood and darkness emerges from the Everdawn Pool, another leg, and another wing, blue in color, shape out of the blood.

The crackle, lightning and chains hitting continues!

Fort, Ref and Will DC 25 like last round please!
Bludgeoning damage: 5d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 4, 2) = 13

Can Kalem attack figure emerging from the pool? If so, he will do so! As he is standing right there, I would assume that no pounce is needed. And if not, can he attack it once it has manifested material form?

Kalem cuts one of the legs with a quick succession of swings of his scythe. This barely delays the creation process as another leg is created quickly filling the space left by the cut one.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 11 + 5 + 2 = 26 (pass)

Watching the dragon's leg grow back, Zamanda says

Bash, perhaps you should use Serithial. This could be like that blood creature below... keeps coming and growing back unless the sword is used.

She tries shooting it anyway though, beginning to sing again with a quick strike on her bow.

Attack 1: 1d20 + 24 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 24 + 2 + 1 = 45 (inspire, point blank)

"If Serithial can't keep this thing in check, then we'll really be in trouble." Bashiel ducks and weaves as the chains and lightning fill the room. He braces himself against the noise and maddening influence of the... remnant of Kazavon? He wasn't really sure if this was just some manifestation, or truly Kazavon returning to life.

He traces the tip of Serithial through the air, making the sign of Osiris' crook and flail. He calls out "Lord of the Living, please grant us the strength needed to repel this shadow of blood and pain!" and suddenly floods the room in golden light that clings to himself and each of his allies. (Activating Aura of Justice as a free action. This grants Bashiel, Laori and Kalem, and Zamanda if she was within 10ft, the ability to smite the blood dragon with Bashiel's bonuses of +3/+21) Bashiel immediately directs the light summoned into the blood dragon. (smiting as a swift)

Serithial smiting, 1-hd PA, bane, IC, haste: 1d20 + 29 + 3 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 29 + 3 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 38

Ilsa again withstands the violent forces erupting from the blood pool.

She isn't sure what her powers could do against--whatever is coming out of the pool--but she fixes it with her dreadful stare.

As per the vision request discussed in Discussion...

Bashiel questions Osiris about what is going on. The group is responded with a vision of what will happen if they do not stop the ritual before it is too late...

With each passing round, an immense shape of blood and darkness emerges from the Everdawn Pool, assuming the form of a blue dragon from the skeleton out. Lightning crackles and iron chain writhe and snap through the room. Each round, more and more of the dragon’s body reforms as the chains seem to wrap around its form and transform into flesh, organs, and muscles.

After a minute of crescendo, the blood of the Everdawn Pool exhausts itself and goes dormant once again as a new life—Kazavon reborn—appears.

First thing you notice as the colossal sized wyrm roars is the intimidation of his frightful presence.
Will DC 34 or be shaken

Those 10 feet or less around the dragon also suffer the crackling electricity all around his body.

Round 1: Zamanda, Ilsa, Kalem, Kazavon, Laori, Bashiel

Zamanda, Ilsa and Kalem can go!
If you cast spells on him, please roll CL against Spell Resistance.

I put you at max health before the combat starts as per Laori's particulate form fast healing 3.

Will: 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 13 + 2 + 3 = 36

With bard song, will take it out if Zamanda doesn’t do it. Going after Zamanda and Ilsa, to take advantage of any buffs/debuffs they provide

Cornugon Smash on first hit: 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (3) + 38 = 41

Kalem wasn’t intimidated by Kazavon, probably because he didn’t really understand what they faced. In his mind, this was just another dragon, and they had slain several already. Favored as it was, how different could it be from the rest?

Knowledge Arcana roll = beyond her ability

Will Save: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 15 + 2 = 28 (fail; shaken)

Zamanda steps back into the corner to get as far away as possible, still singing (Inspire Courage and Discordant Voice are still up in this vision) and hopes that she can hit the frightening creature.

Attack: 1d20 + 24 + 4 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 24 + 4 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 38 (bullseye, inspire, point-blank, shaken)

Damage (+5/adamantine): 4d6 + 10 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 1d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1, 2, 1, 1) + 10 + (4) + (1) + (3, 3) + (3) + 2 + 1 = 32 (gravity bow, acid, electricity, holy, sonic, inspire, point blank)

Does my Aura of Justice use carry over into this fight, or do I need to use it again on my turn against the new target? If it carries over, Zamanda and Kalem's rolls would get a big benefit!

That would indeed be huge!

Ilsa, unsure what is real or not, drapes the chamber in a mind-numbing fog, hoping to harm the frightening dragon's mind.

Will save (burst of insight): 1d20 + 24 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 24 + 8 = 39

mind fog, hopefully excluding my companions, DC 27 Will

If I couldn't make it my hypnotic stare target while it was forming, I do so before casting the spell.

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)

The vision happens just before Bashiel attacks with Serithtial, the aura of justice is not spent yet, but he can activate it as soon as his turn comes up.

Kalem attacks with all of his rage left. Without his defensive spells prepared on the instant of his apparition, the dragon defenses are overtaken by the furious scythe in three times, opening deep gashes. The dragon does not seem impressed by the Cornugon Smash.

Zamanda's arrow goes for the colossal dragon, but the scales just deflect the adamantine head. AC

Ilsa makes a mind fog appear in the room purple circle, but her magic fails to pierce the natural magical resistance of the dragon!
CL vs SR: 1d20 + 17 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 17 + 3 = 28 the +3 is because of the stare penalty to his SR

The dragon seems joyful more than wrathful "HERE I AM RETURNED!" but he is certainly determined to end with you. First thing it happens, is he projects his image duplicating himself. Both Ilsa and Zamanda can indicate one is an illusion and the other blue is the real Kazavon.

The wyrm roars in fury to the sky, breathing electricity through his mouth, and forming a Storm Breath on the room. One lightning bolt immediately falls over Kalem.
Electrical damage (Ref DC 35 for half): 24d8 ⇒ (7, 2, 1, 4, 3, 8, 5, 1, 6, 6, 3, 8, 2, 1, 1, 8, 8, 2, 4, 1, 5, 3, 4, 4) = 97

Then, the dragon follows up with a quickened mage armor.

Your particulate form fast heals you a bit.

Laori delays after Bashiel.

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

Everyone is up!

Spellcraft vs mage armor: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35

Bashiel, momentarily disoriented by the strange sense that this situation isn't quite right, takes a second or two to gather himself. By the time he's ready to act, the dragon has already unleashed a flurry of magic. He offers his plea to Osiris for aid - not only for himself but also all of his companions. (Bashiel, Laori and Kalem gain the ability to smite with Bashiel's bonuses of +3/+21. This bonus will last 1 minute)

He invokes his smite against Kazavon (swift), then hesitates for a moment. The dragon was a dreadful foe - like something of a previous, mythic age. There were no guarantees that any of them could last more than a few seconds against such a creature - already Kalem looked in serious danger. He whispers "Have another true seeing Laori? We might need it." then does something that might seem incredibly reckless...

He spends a few moments removing his shield, then drops into a guarded stance with one hand free. (move action) He looks to Zamanda and Ilsa for guidance on which of the two dragons to attack, then delivers a single careful stab.

Serithial smiting, 1-hd PA, bane, IC, haste: 1d20 + 29 + 3 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 29 + 3 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 44
Serithial damage (P, d6A, 2d6bane, 2d6holy, d6So): 1d6 + 13 + 10 + 2 + 21 + 2 + 1d6 + 2d6 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 10 + 2 + 21 + 2 + (3) + (6, 6) + (1, 6) + (3) = 77

My trigger condition for mesmeric mirror is now "any attack made against me". I'm gambling on it not currently having true seeing... just the fact that it cast mage armor makes me think it didn't resurrect with buffs intact. I suspect its AC and attack bonus will both be sky high, so I'm switching to the best offensive option I have.

Sorry, you mentioned it, but I don't know what the aura of justice benefit is, so I can't include a number in my rolls. I don't see it listed in a post or in the party or individual buffs. If it is at least one though, then with my forgotten +5 from the ring and that point from Bash, I wouldn't be shaken from last turn, and I would make the save below as well, for half damage, so going with that, but let me know if I am applying it inappropriately.

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 21 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 21 + 2 = 34 (increase in base score due to ring, inspire) [fail]

(Added Ileosa's ring to my stats because I forgot last turn, so want to incorporate it in case it saves me at some point.)

Still singing Inspire Courage and Discordant Voice still up, Zamanda points out the real dragon for Bashiel (and everyone), before shooting at the dragon again.

Cornugon Smash on first hit: 1d20 + 38 ⇒ (14) + 38 = 52

Kalem dove to the side, avoiding the worst of the dragon’s breath. Even so, it still hurt something fierce. Forewarned about whom to attack, he rolled to his feet and used his wings to shoot himself forward. His scythe blazed with his own energy, though it also hit with the Sonic force of Zamanda’s voice and glowed with Bashiel’s divine might. Already Kalem was a warrior with few peers, but with his companions adding their strength, his scythe became all the more deadly.

Bashiel calls for justice, inspiring his nearby allies to defeat the colossal dragon. Throwing away his shield, he focuses himself in a single powerful blow, but his strike fails to penetrate the epic hard scales. AC

Not being flat-footed any longer, Kazavon takes a snap with his jaws as Zamanda shots at him once more, the dragon tears her left arm, and the aasimar's arrows are all deflected by the scales and magical armor.
Bite (30' reach): 1d20 + 43 ⇒ (10) + 43 = 534d8 + 27 ⇒ (7, 6, 3, 2) + 27 = 45

Kalem, avoiding the lightning bolt as good as he can, swings his scythe in a frenetic rage, but finds the magic armor blocks two of his attacks while the others do not penetrate the hard scales of the dragon.

"I have no more!!!" shouts aloud Laori while starting to cast defensively "But have this!" delivering heroism on Bashiel.

Ilsa to go!

”We need to strip away its magical protections! Can someone deal with those?” Kalem called out, worried about the ineffectiveness of his scythe.

"I'll try!" Ilsa responds, attempting to dispel its magical protections.

Refl save (burst of adrenaline): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23

Ilsa attempts to cast a spell but fails to dispel any magic.

Fortunately for you the storm breath dissipates before Kazavon can call another bolt over the head of one of you.

Kazavon snaps the elf with his jaws, then crushes him with claws hitting him with the a swing of his tail. By when the dragon ends, Kalem lays crushed in the ground of the pyramid.

Distracted by Ilsa's stare, the dragon fails to connect a couple of his attacks, Kalem is only hit by one claw and the tail, and the elf manages to survive and hold on feet. down to 52 hp

Concentration DC 27: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (17) + 20 = 37
"Kalem!!! Embrace the pain Kalem!!! You will survive!" Laori manages to step forward and cast a heal spell on the elf, who is back to full health and cured from the cackle fever.

Driven to the brink of death, Kalem knew that he was outmatched. In seconds he would die and nothing could stop it. It was sad, given how many things there was that he wanted to do. He had fallen in love, overcome his personal demons (literally) and was going to have all of the time in the world. But now? He had but seconds. That was, until he felt Laori’s touch, healing his wounds. Realizing how close she was, he launched himself forward into a suicidal charge, striking the dragon clean between the eyes. It was the kind of blow that would fell a lessor wyrm…

:O I think Kazavon power attacking saved you Kalem! And that crack back! If the dragon doesn't have fortification or some special immunity, that might be enough?

Bashiel feels Serithial tugging, the blade desperate to use him to put an end to Kazavon. He raises from a defensive stance to an aggressive one as he makes a sign in the air with his free hand. Serithial's blade tightens to a fine line, scarcely more than a thread. (Casting dimensional blade as a swift) Then, while Kalem is occupying Kazavon's attention, he darts two steps in to get under the dragon and unleashes a lightning flurry of delicate stabs. Each one enters and leaves with a quiet *thwoop*.

Dimensional blade allows this round's attacks to resolve against touch AC + any bonuses from mage armor or shield. I can't use power attack since these are touch attacks, so I'll instead use dazing assault. Each successful hit requires a DC27 Fort save or be dazed 1 rd.

If by some horrible twist Kazavon is still alive, the two crits each inflict Staggering Critical. DC27 Fort save or be staggered for 1d4+1 rounds. On a successful save, staggered for 1 rd. This effect stacks duration.

Since this is a vision, I'm mixing it up and making it a choose your own adventure.

Basically, since every square is threatened and will draw an AOO, there isn't anything for her to do without risking death, so I came up with some death-defying options.

The dragon's proximity zaps the Bashiel and Laori, but Kalem resists the damage.

The particulate form fast heals you.

Feeling the colossal strength of the dragon nearby, Kalem gives the best of himself with a mighty cut of his furious scythe that opens a large wound in a sensitive area of the dragon's neck. Incredibly, the dragon does not fall and stops all his other attacks.

Guided by the gods, Bashiel founds the weakness of the dragon, and pleading for help, Serithtial becomes a thin layer of bleed that cuts through the dragon scales as if they were no more than butter. With a rightful follow up of stabs, the holy warrior destroys the vital organs of the beast, all his attacks hitting the easy giant target.

Zamanda has no time to choose her adventure, chopped in multiple parts, the great wyrm falls like a giant tree over the ground of the pyramid, his body crumbles swiftly, and is soon reduced to little more than dust.

Behind only his fangs remain behind amid the dust.

Combat is over!

As this happens, the vision sent by the gods concludes and Bashiel is faced with the decision between completing his attack and destroying the Everdawn Pool before the ritual is completed, or let the vision become real.

Ilsa isn't sure if her heart is beating out of her chest or has stopped completely. She observes the scene with bated breath, unsure what she has just witnessed.

"Is--everyone okay?" she asks.

Mid twirl of his thread-like rapier, Bashiel opens his eyes and sees Serithial instead buried deep within the Everdawn Pool. He sighs in pure relief "Yes, somehow." he whispers to Ilsa.

"Did everyone just see that? Osiris saw fit to grant me a vision of what would have happened had we failed here... a nigh-unstoppable immortal Kazavon." He eyes the pool, a little nervous that maybe the dragon's claw would emerge just as in the vision. "Thankfully, we got here in time to stop that from happening."

For once in his life, Kalem looked pale of the face. He leaned on his scythe in stunned silence, staring at the pool with a distant look in his face. Just as rare, he couldn’t find any words that could do the situation justice.
