Theophilus decides to take out a deck of playing cards. He begins to shuffle.
Five gold ante. Big Blind 25 gold and Small Blind 15 gold. Five card stud. Jacks and 7's wild. Straight or better to open.
The White Rabbit puts on his green dealer cap, places a cigar in his mouth, and orders a Tall Seven & Seven.

"Later fellas, I got hyaenas to burn," Ci Ci's voice says from somewhere in front of Theo and Rabs.
Currently invisible and flying, Ci Ci decides to fly around the bend of the fortress until the archon and gnolls come into view.
After the party is safely between them and the tigers the gnolls advance and half of them toss a number of small bags which quickly unfurl causing sticky tar to stick mostly to the floor and walls. Underdog however becomes entangled. Tanglefoot bags A single gnoll disappears around the curve of the building.

Ci Ci casts Empowered Burst of Radiance, centered on the gnolls.
Damage versus Evil:5d4 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 4, 4) = 15+50% = 22 points of damage.

@CiCi - Empowered is +50% of what you roll, not +2 per die. Unless you have some different ability. So if you rolled 15 on the dice it would be 22 damage.
Dervak will move up in front of the Hound Archon and strike at a gnoll using his reach.
Reflex Save, Hero:1d20 + 19 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 19 + 3 = 25 (I don’t think I’m affected since it’s vs. Evil, but here’s a successful save if Pocky jab-danced into Ci-Ci’s spell.)
Not that McGruff hit but he’s still entangled since Mara didn’t do enough damage to remove the tanglefoot bag. Needs 9 more damage. On second thought he just bites off the rest of the gunk and moves where he is now.
Fort vs Stun:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Pocky leaps through the air with the greatest of ease, twisting a gnoll skull like a vane in the breeze. She moves to the next and kicks a gnoll shin, she doubles over and Pocky cleaves her chin. With a flourish Pocky jumps up and kicks a gnoll in the solar plexus. Killed two and stunned a third, now red

Dervak has Reach from Long Arm, which is why I put him where he was. Did any gnolls provoke AOOs with their movement? Feel free to roll for me if so (Dervak has 2 AOOs this round).
I fixed your position Theo, unfortunately for Mara...
With the taste of gnoll fresh in their mouths and the aberrant halfling a safe distance away the often starved tigers stalk out of their cages in search of another easy meal. They find it in a nearby half-ork shaman. Good news everybody! They had to squeeze to get out of their cells so no pounce.
Red Claw vs Mara:1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28 Plus grab:1d20 + 23 ⇒ (18) + 23 = 41
Blue Claw vs Mara:1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30 I guess plus grab here is the 2nd tiger assisting the first as per multiple grapplers.
Red Claw vs Mara:2d4 + 8 ⇒ (1, 3) + 8 = 12 Blue Claw vs Mara:2d4 + 8 ⇒ (2, 2) + 8 = 12
Mara has to beat CMD 33 to break free.
Two tigers pin Mara under their gigantic paws giving her a few scratches along the way.
Round 2 Gnolls Theo <----------- Mara <----------- Pocky <----------- Dervak <----------- Allegra <----------- Ci Ci <----------- Dire tiger
If Red survived, Pocky kicks him again. Else, she flies to Green.
Kick Red if he’s alive; else, Flying Kick to Green:1d20 + 23 ⇒ (4) + 23 = 27 Damage:1d8 + 8 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 8 + (4, 6) = 20 10 if first
Once she fights green, she dance steps with each successful hit.

Mara has Freedom of Movement cast on herself, so the grapples automatically fail.
Mara hurriedly created a wormhole and stepped through it, to get away from the voracious tigers. "Can someone control those beasts?!", she shouted angrily.

Ci Ci adjusts her position away from the the group (5' step/float) and draws upon her power.
"Scintillating Slivers!" she cries, extending her hands towards the tigers.

Round 2
Theophilus takes a tentative glance back behind him, as he hears the hungry-sounding roars from the oops, may have forgotten about those lions!
He sighs in relief as Mara does her Mara thing.
He then watches in both delight and sympathy as CiCi does her CiCi thing.
Theo decides it would be prudent to do his Theo thing. He taps Dervak on the shoulder.
We may have forgotten about those darn lions.
Turn inbound soon...just have to think about which spell to waste...lol.
Actually, are any Lions still up? And looks like only 3 gnolls on the board?
Pocky kills two gnolls on her way back to try and contain the tigers. Mara escapes danger by ripping a tear in reality and stepping through just in time for Ci Ci to spray them with a cloud of vicious slivers. Dervak follows up, killing one of the tigers and damaging a second.
Theo curses one of the tigers while Allegra ruins the pelt of the very same one. Both of the tigers turn tail and run at the sight of a small halfling as she approaches. This triggers AoO from Dervak and Allegra.
The remaining gnoll flees seeing his colleges cut down but hesitates as he passes through by the slave pens. Another AoO for Allegra and Underdoge. Mara can't quite see what would cause it to hesitate but then she notices the slaves beginning to panic as they try to futilely break out of their cages. "The lizards! Get us out of here!" they cry in terror. The slave farthest from the party, her skin turns a speckled gray color and she goes completely stiff.
Arcana DC 20:
She's been turned to stone. A number of magical creatures can accomplish this. Medusa, basilisks, gorgons among them. One could be describe as lizards, basilisks. Merely the close sight of them can cause a person to turn to stone.

Ci Ci moves up beside Mara, and looks for movement. She prepares to hit whatever shows up with a heavy dose of her power.
If she hits it more than once, her jab dance puts her in reach of the red tiger as well!
Attack:1d20 + 23 ⇒ (6) + 23 = 29 Damage:1d8 + 8 + 5d6 ⇒ (1) + 8 + (5, 2, 6, 5, 5) = 32 14 if first, 22 if second

Allegra and Dervak mortally wound one tiger but the other limps away despite Dervak’s parting slice. Pocky follows up, knocking it to the ground.
Theo can mind fog all the basilisks without hitting any allies or slaves. But you will have to pass through the fog to ascend to the next floor.
Will vs mind fog:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 Will vs mind fog:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 Will vs mind fog:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25 Will vs mind fog:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28 Will vs mind fog:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 Will vs mind fog:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Gnoll vs stone DC 19:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
The basilisks trundle forward turning the slaves to statues as they go. The remaining gnoll, like the slaves, have no time to react to the party's warnings and also falls victim. The remaining slaves hunker down in their pens with their hands over their eyes.
Gaze attack is out of range for everyone.

Mara flew up and called on the spirits of Heaven to strike down the accursed lizards. She extended her hand and pointed towards the reptile in the center of the others; a bolt of lightning shot forth and struck it, arcing to each of the surrounding basilisks, "Kill them quickly!"
Flying up to the ceiling and casting Chain Lightning; Red is the primary target (DC 24), while all the other Basilisks are secondary (DC 22). She needs to see all of the targets. If she has clear line of sight further back, she doesn't need to be so far forward.

”Consider it done!” Ci Ci replies, calling on her power to drop a column of flame and divine wrath upon the advancing lizards
Pocky hears the warnings… and as she approaches she sees the statues who were once slave-girls, and the surviving gnoll. She does not pass anyone from the party. (Needed a double move to get as far as I did.) She fixes her gaze on the women covering their eyes.
Pocky places her hands on the cell door and speaks to the slaves.
“Keep your eyes covered. We’re going to free you, but you mustn’t look until we tell you it’s safe.”
Pocky shuts her eyes. She hopes nothing will prevent her from opening them again, such as becoming a statue.
In a flash of lightning and holy fire the basilisks are simultaneously burned and electrocuted. One dies on the spot and Dervak cuts another in a mortal wound. Four remain but are injured severely.

Allegra spends a blessing to summon a second Hound Archon since they're immune to petrification. In humanoid form, this one starts attacking the basilisk. The first archon moves up to bite.
Theo knows that basilisks are slow and plodding these ones are quick on their feet and even in their altered state of mind manage to avoid the doge's bites.

"Mirv Elarem!" Ci Ci intones, pointing her hand at the basilisks.
Pocky works on one door until it falls, then uses the bars to her left to volley herself to the next door.
Flying kick with handrails triggered by the first door breaking.
