Osric's eyes get wide as he takes in the extremely dangerous situation he's in. He hurriedly sends arrows away, aiming first for orange, then dark red.
Osric's arrow drive home, but without the white flash of their holy power. The first volley drops one girallon. The rest of his arrows clump together to drop another.
Kol Voss charges the remaining four-armed ape with his bastard sword coming down in a powerful arc. The ape wastes no time trying to sneak in a hit AoO:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22 and snags him for DMG:1d8 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16. ATK:1d20 + 18 ⇒ (1) + 18 = 19. It's enough to mess up his attack. The girallon keeps up the pressure.
The carnage is astonishing, yet somehow your new "friend" withstands the violence.
The red giant laughs at Roakar, speaking in Azlanti - but the meaning is clear, he's still the largest one in the arena. The fist aims at Ignatious: Fist:1d20 + 24 ⇒ (12) + 24 = 36. The fist slams into the man 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12. Fort DC 24 or be stunned for a round.
The giant himself laughs again as the dust cloud dissipates. He aims at Roakar with a massive sword:

If I am stunned, because I am flying by mundane means (wings), I begin to fall. From 20ft up, unable to act or lighten the fall, I believe it's an extra 2d6 lethal damage and I land Prone.

Roakar smiles as the red giant takes the bait. Roakar was ready for any attacks against him and as the red giant takes each swing, Roakar takes one in turn.
The evil giant's fist isn't enough to knock Ignatious from the sky. Roakar takes only 5 hits with his hammer to bring down the massive giant. Adril stands up at the display of power and quickly says something to a slave who scurries off. The giant's fist of sand falls back to the arena floor.
Round 2
Girallon: Attack
Giant: ATK
Roakar: ATK
Roos: Go
Darius: Go
Osric: Go
Ignatious: Go
Kol Voss: TBD
Roos runs up and attacks the ape thing with his rapier for a quick piercing stab...
Rapier+PA+FF+IC+Haste:1d20 + 25 ⇒ (8) + 25 = 33..DMG:1d6 + 23 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 23 + 2 = 31

If neither Roos or Darius kill the last Girallon, then I will Ready an Action to do so if any of our team, including the NPCs, takes a serious hit. If they do, as they act before me, then I'll just do it.
Descending back down a bit closer, I'll channel to heal the living, bring back some of the life energies that are seeping from some. A soft glowing green mist appears, for only a few minutes, washing away some of the grit and agitation caused by the course dust.
Channel Energy Heal (Will DC 22 for half is Raokar needs to save):7d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1) = 13
Darius brings the fight to the girallon. The assault nearly drops the beast, but when Roos adds a couple feet of steel, it's too much. The final enemy falls. Ignatious channels, but finds it not his best work.
Out of combat, everyone take one round of actions before...
Adril’s thrilled laughter echoes throughout the arena. “Well done, my little apprentices. You’ve bested my pets. Now face my CHAMPION!”
At that moment, doors open on the north side of the arena, just below the luxury box. A human male, dressed in the regalia of an Ulfen jarl, and two multi-legged beasts step from the darkness.
The man gives a sonorous laugh before speaking, “Ignatious my old friend. If you could have foreseen this, I bet I would have frozen to death! I can’t wait to share the story of your demise with Natalya. I'm sorry it has to be this way, but it appears we are now enemies. I promise to kill you last.”[/b]
Kol Voss looks at you all, his face covered in blood, much of it his. He then turns towards Adril and snarls...

If we have a free round, I'll Channel to heal us all once more.
Channel Heal:7d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 4, 4, 1, 5, 2) = 27

"The Ripper!" utterly shocked. "How can this be? And where is your beautiful wife, Natalya Yagevna? You two, you where my greatest triumph. Stop this. Join us and turn, again, from the darkness. You did it once, as did she, and you can do so again. You are not a slave, you are both better than this."
Turning back to the rest of the party, "Whatever is affecting his mind, Skelg was a friend. He is not to die, no matter what. I will not let it end this way."
Finally, turning to look at Adril in the eye, "You! Bastard. I have been defending you, hoping against hope that you, one we counted as a friend, where not a cowardly, backstabbing, traitor. For this, for what you have done to The Ripper, you will die! If you have corrupted Natalya too, . . ."
As soon as the battle begins, I'll cast Admonishing Ray, focusing all beams at Skelg.
Ray 1:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21(-4 for Shooting into Melee not included if needed) Nonlethal Damage:4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 2, 3) = 10
Ray 2:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26(-4 for Shooting into Melee not included if needed) Nonlethal Damage:4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 4) = 12
Ray 3:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14(-4 for Shooting into Melee not included if needed) Nonlethal Damage:4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 5, 5) = 14
Standard action cast spell, Move Action to put away Rod of Intensify Spell.
Roos still unscathed, how many rounds have we had of combat? just wondering for Haste
Roos casts Good Hope +2 on attack rolls, damage rolls, saves, and checks. during his free action.
Roos continues to sing, just switching tunes to Thunderhorse.

Will Save vs Good Hope:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20
Roakar continues to rage. He stomps his feet and kicks dust as he waits to see what the traitor has left to protect him from his coming doom.
"Wasn't payin too much attention once the fight started. How are all the people we were to rescue doing?"
"Ignatious, you need not die, you see our glory. Be one the winning side!"
The left behir takes off, literally. The beasts somehow come off the ground as it floats about 5' off the arena floor. He breaths a line of electricity at Roakar (REF DC 19 for half of) Elecricity:7d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 2, 3, 6, 5, 1) = 27. The one to the right does the same thing, targeting Darius. (REF DC 19 for half of) Elecricity:7d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 1, 4, 5, 6, 2) = 26
Round 1:
Behirs: Lightning
Roos Go
Darius: Go
Osric: Go
Roakar: Go
Ignatious: Go
Skelg: Go
Darius dashes towards the massive beast. Limbs fall and blood splatters. The magus finds himself standing by the eviscerated corpse of a behir. The crowd goes wild.
Kol Voss shouts in Azlanti:
Azlanti:
To Adril, "I challenge you! By the ancient law I challenge you. We will fight the Right of Ascension for control of the Starsword!"
After his shouting, the crowd slowly quiets and murmurs rumble even as you fight.. Adril ignores this, but the crowd begins to shout at him in Azlanti:
Azlanti:
To Adril, "It's Kol Voss!" "He has demanded the right!" "You MUST oblige!" and chants of Kol Voss! Kol Voss
Round 1:
Behirs: Lightning
Roos Go
Darius: Slice and dice
Osric: Go
Roakar: Go
Ignatious: Go
Skelg: TBD
Oops, I remember reading it, but I forgot to update with it.
Ignatious's rays slam into Skelg, but seem to have no effect "Ignatious, it's time to let it go!" The Ripper's battle fury is incredible. He's far removed from the invalid from years ago...
Round 1:
Behirs: Lightning
Roos Go

15-20 crit range you'd figure something a bit better..
I can count on one hand how many times my 15-20 scimitar has critted since like lever 3 with this character, and I'm pretty sure one of those times was in this game. I have a Longspear Reach Cleric with a x3 at level 8 or 9, and have never once gotten a crit off with him. I hate the Paizo dice roller with a passion. Now that I'm deployed, I swear it has gotten even worse. My Thor character is about to die because I have not rolled anything higher than like a 7.

Does anyone know for sure if the Implanting Ioun Stones rules from Seeker of Secrets is legal, and if so, how is it noted? It's something I was going to ask at the start of part 2 and forgot.
<Moving the above to the Discussion Thread>
To the others, "Kol Voss just challenged Adril for something called the Star Sword. Adril didn't respond, but it looks like the people did, and are demanding that Adril answer the challenge."

Man I am so going to implant all of mine when Roakar can get some downtime.
I have alternative plans if Osric attacks and kills the other Behir. I spoilered my actions into a if/then
Roakar reacts as the Behir moves around the edge of the arena, taking an AoO in response (combat reflexes, 20 ft reach).
Attack AoO - R, RA, PA, H, IC:1d20 + 28 ⇒ (18) + 28 = 46 Damage AoO - R, PA, IC:3d6 + 31 + 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 3) + 31 + (6, 2) = 53 Vicious:1d6 ⇒ 5
Reflex:1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25
Roakar is able to partially dodge the lightning bolt from the Bethir.
If Osric kills the Behir with his attacks:
Seeing as Osric was able to finish off the Behir. Roakar readies an attack in case diplomacy fails and Skelg moves in to attack (20 ft away).
"While I am all for making friends, if he moves towards us, I am putting him down."
If Skelg moves in, here is my readied attack @ 20 ft away, activating dazing assault.
Attack @ 20ft - R, RA, PA, H, IC, DA:1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28 Damage @ 20ft - R, PA, IC:3d6 + 31 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 5) + 31 + (5, 2) = 49 Vicious:1d6 ⇒ 3
If Skelg continues to advance through 20 ft, here is my AoO.
Attack AoO - R, RA, PA, H, IC, DA:1d20 + 23 ⇒ (16) + 23 = 39 Damage AoO - R, PA, IC:3d6 + 31 + 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 6) + 31 + (4, 2) = 51 Vicious:1d6 ⇒ 4
Skelg will need to make a DC 23 Fort save for each hit or be dazed for 1 round.
If Osric does not kill the Behir:
Seeing that the Bethir is still standing, Roakar engages the Behir with a full attack. He activates his dazing assault power for the next round.

@Chris - Not a problem. I was just trying to let Osric have a go since he went before me in initiative.
@Iggy - Yeah. It was a fun scenario for me but I remember my table having issues with it. I think at one point Roakar was the only one not messed up.
I hate when that happens, especially after a long or complicated post.
Osric's arrows mostly land. Even as the pierce the man's flesh he continues to be defiant. "Ignatious! You're better than this. See the truth of it! Watch your friends die!"
He turns towards Roos and begins hacking at the bard. The very grip of the Ripper's cuts into his hands as he swings. Blood falls from this fists. He makes no attempt to keep a defensive posture, focusing only on killing.
",. . . and maybe something a little more close to your heart, a touch from home, as it where." sending a final beam of pure and utter coldness at the man. A man who must be being manipulated and control for this betrayal.

Just a heads up: If Skelg is a barbarian, the minute you drop him to negative HP he will probably end rage, loose another 50+ HP, and be beyond the reach of a breath of life. That would be bad if our plan is to NOT kill him.

If I can do about 50is damage as Non-Lethal, though, he'd still live and we can bind the ever loving crap out of him. Just for the record, 1.) thanks for going along with it, and 2.) if we fail, inadvertently, that's fine. I can say I tried my hardest.

"Hell. Guess I gotta try not to kill this guy."
Roakar charges a measly 10 feet and decides to put this guy down before Roos gets too deep in his own blood. He activates come and get me and raging brutality
