I think I see. Is it one fort save per attack? Do I make the fort save as the first roll as part of the attack? So it would fort save, attack roll, damage roll, intimidate roll? Then do that three times? Or three fort saves up front?
I'd say it's three saves because 'that's what the GM asked for' - but my inner GM says the rationale is that you just ate two gaze attacks (two medusae) and if you got tagged you have some poison to deal with - sorry for breaking the wall and going all meta! So if the GM asks for three, usually best to roll 'em up and THEN ask for clarification, there can always be a retcon if needed, but half a dozen posts on the topic later is not when the rolls were needed...best just to take the hint :)
I asked for three fort saves in your next post and you didn't make them. Now I will roll them for you.
Marta's other fort saves:2d20 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11
Then I told you you were up. You posted five times but took no actions. I'm putting you in delay.
1d4 ⇒ 4
The first medusa gazes at Marta again. Marta needs to make another DC 16 fort save vs petrification.
Not following my directions counts as not reading my posts and that's one of my rules. If you continue to be a problem Marta, I will be blocking you from future games I run.
Fizz, Dunc, and Marta are up. BEFORE YOU POST ANYTHING ELSE MARTA, MAKE YOUR FORT SAVE.
Dunc, Fizz, and Beaky need to make two DC 16 fortitude saves vs petrification at the start of their turns. At the end of your turn you can determine if you want to keep your eyes open, avert your gaze, or close your eyes.

Now for the fun stuff...
Marta definitely activates Bane on the Medusa. The first attack will be with stunning fist and no power attack. I really want that one to land. Tthe second attack and all attacks from then on until my next turn will be with power attack.

If a hit connects and I make my intimidate check it will cause the opponent to be shaken for as many rounds as damage, provided non-lethal damage works on it because of the Enforcer feat. A second hit will cause it to be sickened due to the Cruel enchantment on her Amulet of Mighty Fists.

Dang it. It took a long time to write up that attack and I missed your post. Please roll the fort save for me or shift everything or do whatever you see fit.
Dunc, watching his companion turned to stone before his very eyes will scowl, roaring in anger at the Medusa's but not before suffering the very same risk that fell Marta.
Fort Save + Rage:1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 2 = 21 Fort Save + Rage:1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 2 = 26
Glaring at the Medusa's, he'll attempt to cut the blue one down, maintaining his rage and fast-moving form.
As his sword gores the enemy, Dunc's sword hand viciously weeps blood as his sword's magic exacts its toll! "I'll gut ya, even if I have ta die trying!"
Dang, I was just looking, I could very well die again here, do you mind if I swift action spend a ferver to convert my Grace into a Cure Moderate Wounds?
I'm sorry, I'm the worst with my character, no excuses, I am a raging barbarian, no reason I should be allowed to cast spells. A horrendous mistake on my part. Please forgive my mistake, I'm glad I caught it.

Oh, sorry about the percentiles. I usually do it that high is a success, I forgot that you do it another way. I'll do it your way from now on with Fizz's miss chance, unless you would rather roll it.
Deciding that the best thing would be to get rid of the medusa as soon as possible, Fizzbeard kicks Beaky in the side and the axebeak wheels around into the room to get behind the medusa. Along the way he calls out, "Lord Smiad, bless us in this fight!"
50' movement from Beaky gets there no problem without AoO. Swift action to smite from both Fizz and Beaky.
Fizz will then avert his gaze. Beaky has a 6 Int but I'm not sure averting gaze would fall under any of his tricks so I'll say he doesn't avert. I don't quite remember how that works and I don't see it above but here are some Fort saves in case: Fizz Fort:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28 Beaky Fort:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
I'd say int 6 is enough to understand 'look away' without a ton of cajoling but it doesn't matter terribly anymore.
With Lord Smiad's might on his side, Fizzbeard and Beaky strike down the other medusa in a burst of kaleidoscopic light.
Without any sort of flanking buddy the last mantis will be easy pickings. I'm going to call it here.
Once the Mantis are defeated, the party is free to explore the college. It appears most of the space is unused by the assassins and contains nothing of interest. One of the larger rooms has been converted into a temple to the cult's god, Achaekek. Within the altar, Percy spots a hidden hollow which contains a large vial filled with alchemical paste. On the east end a long angled hall leads to a large opening where the party finds an impressive view of the city along with several glissades.
Spellcraft 28:
The paste is three doses of stone salve.
Engineering 11:
With a bit of lift and some training, one could easily glide all the way to Absalom from here. This is probably the assassins' preferred way of entering the city.
Percy can't make head or tail of the paste "Haven't seen it's like"
He then admires the scenery appraisingly "Nice view. With a bit of lift and some training, one could easily glide all the way to Absalom from here. This is probably the assassins' preferred way of entering the city."
"Not so sure what to do with poor Marta there, terrible luck"
Dunc'll end his rage-ing state, calming his armor at the same time. Breathing heavily he'll draw his wand and use it a couple of times over the next 5 minutes or so, recuperating himself.
Grimacing, "I'm not good, but let me have a look,"
Casting Identify, he'll attempt to make heads of the vials.
Identify vs DC 28:1d20 + 3 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 10 = 19
Shaking his head, "I've never seen anythin' like this,"
It looks like nobody else has a shot at making that spellcraft check so I'm moving on. We'll say 10 minutes passes as you guys heal up and explore the place.
After gathering the equipment from the slain mantis along with whatever paperwork could be found and Marta's petrified remains, the party prepares to depart and return to Absalom.
1d5 ⇒ 5
Just as Dunc is wrapping his arms around the Marta-statue, Percy feels something very large looming over him but it's too late!
Dunc'll draw his greataxe, igniting it with flames, step forward and swing, his muscles bulging as he channels Gorum's Blessing into this attack. Free action, Strength Blessing, +2 to Attack but not Damage, swift action activate Sacred Weapon to add Flaming, there is some contention about whether its also a standard action to activate the flaming property, I've always played as that'd be too debilitating since the ability only lasts for a few rounds. If you play it that way, totally cool, had a GM rule that way before and I don't have a problem with it.
The first mantis swipes at Dunc with a razor-sharp claw. It snatches the Gorumite up, bites him in the side and then drops him and takes off down the hall impossibly fast. He's spring attacking so this won't provoke from Dunc.
Fizz and Percy bleed from their wounds. Bleed Damage:1d6 ⇒ 1
The party is up. I keep forgetting about Fizz's displacement cloak. If original claw against you missed Fizz, assume that stuff about being yanked off your mount never happened.
Mama mia, Dunc's sitting at 38 health, 20 of that from his rage, not the place he wants to be right now! Percy looks like he is at -1. Oh what a time to be down 2 party members.
I sure hope he doesn't have an ability that turns him invisible when knocked out, gonna be hard as hell to heal him!
Boffins is the familiar :) Percy is just taking a morning constitutional nap at the moment but he has regeneration in effect - through an implanted Ioun stone, he will get better eventually.

@GM:
I assume the first claw was during the surprise round. How did it get the second claw on Percy though? Did it beat us all in initiative and get a surprise round and then a full attack? It doesn't look like that though, it just looks like a single full-attack with haste.
Also, Spring Attack is a full-round action that only let's you take a single melee attack but from your description it sounds like it's clawing/grabbing and then biting and then running away.
Sorry Fizz. I was being a slacker and hadn't updated the map yet. Dunc killed those two bugs. The one of the left is still alive and that crit will kill it.

"C'mon you little bug!" Fizz calls as he advances into the room. "Come and get me!"Advance 15' (not being mounted sure blows, haha) and ready. Swift action to smite.
Dunc'll ready an attack should he come close enough for that to happen, maintaining his rage, hasted form and flaming sword.Only has 3 rounds left of it, 2 after this current round D:
"Thank's Lamare, jus' stay behin' me, hah! I won' let this bug get close ta ya,"

Fizz asks for grace from Lord Smiad (avoiding any AoO if this thing has reach) and moves in to help Dunc finish the beast off.
