Nearly 20 savage primates are holding court here around a small wood idol. The primates are snarling, spitting and cavorting madly about the ziggurat. A terrifying howl shatters the revelry after you arrive and the primates scatter into the mists, making way for their champion, a large ape. The large ape engages you as while the other monkey cohorts scream and pound museum objects on the floor and walls of the room.
"What do they call you? The little one?", Falcor asks the large ape, surprised by it's sheer size. He draws his greatsword and holds its point out toward the giant primate.

Astarton pulls his weapon in the exact same fashion as Sir Falcor. "Hi, Mr. Bouncer sir. We are with the Cayden Cailean enforcement division. This party is in violation in that it has no alcohol. You are hereby ordered to produce some or disperse."

Vahn looks at the scene not quite sure what is going on.
Know (Arcana):1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Unsure whether the apes will attack he readies himself for a fight.
Going to ready action for if something looks like it is going to start hostilities at which point Vahn will mix up a bomb and toss it if no friendlies are in ranged.

Staying behind the others, Jakarno draws a pinch of fine sand from his spell component pouch and flings it towards the ape while speaking a short arcane phrase. The sand becomes a wisp of smoke that hits the beast in the face.
"Well, that was easy. Nice job, Filios. We cannot exactly allow these hairy vagabonds to destroy museum property without some short of punishment though. Anyone have something to attack many foes at once, or am I going to have to cut them all down one by one?
On his turn Falcor will move up to it, if he has a clear path to it, and attack.
1d20 + 5 - 1 (pwr atk) => (13) + 5 - 1 = 17 vs AC
Damage: 2d6 + 4 + 2 = (1, 3) + 4 + 2 = 10 Slashing damage

Falcor you can use the command ["dice"]XdX["/dice"] to roll through the actual forums. (take out the "s and replace Xs with number of dice to roll and then the type of dice, example 1d6) Then it shows up green.

I was under the impression that the elf was bound at the top of the Ziggurat? If so, then Filios will attempt to climb to his aid, if indeed a climb check is required? If a climb is not required, or the elf is near the bottom, Filios will move to untie him.
Falcon and Astarton you notice the idol being basses among the primates. Filios you begin your ascent. If there are no other actions you may go ahead and post actions for next round.
Falcor, Astarton and Filios notice the wooden idol being passed among the primates.
Filios makes the climb to Nigel, the elf tied atop the ziggurat. He is strapped to the top with strange symbols on his bear chest. He is visciously struggling and howling at the moment.

Seeing Astarton chasing after the apes with the idol, the Illusionist moves to reduce the crowd for him. He moves up to the edge of them and pulls a small scoop of black sand out of a pouch. He flings it and speaks another arcane phrase. A rippling cone of shadows blasts into the shrewdness Yup, that's what a group of Apes is called :D, aimed to miss Astarton and hit as many apes as possible.
Move to the edge of the shrewdness and cast Color Spray. DC 17 Will resists.
Astarton you manage to grab the idol from the monkeys as Jakarno knocks a few of them down for the count with his colorspray. Filios unstraps one of Nigels arms enough for him to lash out in a mad rage against Filios.
Nigel attacks Filios slam:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Tik Taan does something...Astarton will save please.
Seeing as how he is still partially attached to the post I am going to say that is a hit against his flat-footed AC. Nigel has taken 8 Nonlethal damage.
Primeval Curse (Su) Once per day, a Tik Taan idol can force a creature within 15 feet to make a DC 12 Will save or be cursed. This curse functions similarly to the spell bestow curse, except that it can only either decrease an ability score by –4 or cause a –2 penalty to attack rolls, saves, ability checks, and skill checks. In addition, while affected, the skin of the target takes on a rough, wooden appearance. A Tik Taan idol’s curse can only affect one creature at a time, and should it curse another creature, the first target is no longer affected. This effect can be removed by remove curse or by eating a goodberry. The save DC is Charisma based.
With the idol stowed and the primates neutralized. The mists begin to fade and the curator reverts to normal. He looks at Filios, By Desna, What happened?

The half elf speaks up, hoping to smooth over the fact that Filios had just smashed the curator in the head a couple of times with the butt of his sword. "You had a problem with a cursed item, and your friends at the Pathfinder Society have come to rescue what we could. Many of your staff had turned into feral apes due to the foul mists this idol produced. Our resident scholar here has determined that the effect can be countermanded by a specific chant, of which you should use if you want to display it again."

Zazu gives the sack a couple of thumps with his quarterstaff for good measure. "Yes, here is the text." he says, offering the bark with the chant on it. "I'm going to take a sample from this idol. Perhaps we can determine what sort of powers it possesses and figure out how to make it safe." he adds.
He will, without taking the idol out of the bag, shave a small chip off it and stow it in a vial for later study.

Vahn walks over to Zazu and goes to take a sample as well. "Very good idea. It will be worth studying I think. Should we check out the rest of the museum to ensure no other ill effects are afoot?"
