"Nice trick indeed, Kyra!" mumbles the rager.
He nods at Jal, draws his weapon and gets ready to go in the room.
Yoon picks up her club and stows it. "It probably helped that I softened 'em for ya', huh?"
"Undoubtable..." Kyra responds with an encouraging grin. "Fight fire, with fire, and all that?"

Absolutely okay to use that roll, unfortunately there is someone actively watching the door, meaning there's no cover or concealment. Will post shortly with update.

Great, upright stones dominate this room, evenly spaced out to allow for easy passage between them. The stones have been perfectly carved to form bookshelves, each with six different shelves containing various books, notes, maps, and other crammed-in documents. A perpetual thick gray fog covers the floor of this room to a height of six inches, and most of the documents on the lowest shelves of the bookcases appear to have rotted away because of condensation from this fog, giving the room a pungent, musty aroma. Before you also stands a creature. The creature's bloated frame shudders with each heaving step, yet despite its shape, the thing moves with surprising quickness. There's no sign of Celeena at all.
Baddies:
Yoon:
Jal:
Kyra:
Crowe:
The grotesque creature shambles forward and tries to claw Val , but misses by a hair's breadth.
Celeena jumps out from behind the last bookshelf, well aware of the intruders and casts a spell that causes a brilliant burst of scintillating colors to coat the Pathfinders.
Will DC 18 or be blinded. (You get a new save at the end of each round if you fail.
Pathfinders!
"ARRRGH! What is this?!"
Crowe concentrates himself and activates a shield.
Crowe, you still get your turn.
"Gah! Stop that caster!" As darkness encroaches, Kyra summons a spiritual blade near their attacker. It darts toward the enemy caster, lashing out with magical force.
Emboldened by her absolute dominance with Glitterdust, the woman pushes the advantage, "How DARE you enter here you miscreant burglers!"
The gross figure moves forward to stay on the blinded Crowe.
But all his attacks fall to Crowe's blood-born magic shield. She sees Kyra beginning to shake off the effect so she runs up close to the doorway to launch a spell in the form of an Acid Arrow:
, but misses embarrassingly.
Good Guys are up!
Jal: Blind this round, new save needed at the end.
Kyra: Not blind
Yoon: Failed initial save, needs save from end of last round before acting.
Crowe: Blind this round, new save at end.
Jal, you can still stumble about, even guess at a swing...
Anyone feel like botting Yoon going supernova?
Crowe feels blows raining on him even if they don't connect. He'll attack in the direction he felt them.
for
Crowe brings his massive hammer down on the dretch. Shockingly the things survives, but is holding onto this plane by a thread.
Jal: Can still fumble
Kyra: Not blind, Go!
Yoon: Not blind, go!Bot until 2100 EST
Crowe: Smash, still blind.
Dretch: 16
"Yeah, but we don't miss. We're 'hitcreants'."
Yoon knows that casters are bad business. And that casters have a harder time casting when on fire. Fortunately, she sets fires. Well.
She quickly gathers power, a bright nimbus of light and noise coalescing around her, before being released at the mage.
Yoon just barely manages to catch the woman in her flame, but the flame is intense! She immediately starts to burn! The woman is in pure agony as she catches fire!
Kyra to finish the round.
Dretch: 15
Celeena: 13 (On Fire)
"Lamina lucis!" Kyra points her blade at the burning woman. Serenrae’s power coalesces behind the scorched woman, forming a glowing blade of light. The mystical weapon lashes out at the caster with mindless fervor.
Kyra's spells opens with a massive shot, striking the flaming woman in the neck. She quickly tries to put out the fire .
With the fire out she opts for a totally different tactic, "I surrender!" she screams. She immediately dismisses the dretch.
Out of combat.

The creature vanishes just as Jal's eyes clear, and he's forced to wonder for a second whether it was really there or not. Deciding it's a moot point, he strides forward and binds Celeena, immediately beginning to thoroughly search her clothes for the document.
"Good call, he mutters to her as he searches. "I always appreciate when an opponent shows a bit of good sense. Now, where are the documents?"
Yoon wanders the shelves, seeking anything interesting, whether it be plans for the defense of the city, or a coloring book.
After a few moments, Crowe is able to see again. He grinds his teeth as he looks at the woman but stays quiet, swallowing his anger.
After searching high and low for the documents on the shelves, the defeated Celeena speaks up, albeit rather meekly, "I have what you're looking for here." Indeed she turns over the documents without any additional resistance.
With Celeena stopped and the documents secured, Absalom is once again safe from invasion. Celeena is put on trial for treason, and despite large monetary attempts at getting her out, she is sentenced to a lengthy prison term. The crypt here is cleared out by various members of the Society who catalog the unique items therein, and the Society brings in a powerful cleric to consecrate the remains of the Deckland family interred in the crypts, and properly restore the crypts to manageable status.
Well done Pathfinders. Your success spreads quickly through the ranks, and your prestige within the Pathfinder Society grows.
"Hmm. Water on the rocks with a twist, please."
"Although, steamed milk with a shot of caramel is excellent."
