She looks crestfallen, but tries to put a good face on it. ”If you’re bitten, it’s true, you sicken, die, and raise as a kind of zombie. We have a companion who suffers even now - upstairs.”
"I'm sorry you been livin' through this same. Has anyone survived a scratch or bite?" He glances quickly at Dimitrio.
bite, sicken, die, rise as zombie... bite, sicken, die, rise as zombie...
None of of that sounds promising and Dimitrio does his best to try and hide his mounting fear. He inspects his wounded arm again and brings it up his nose to smell the bitten area.
He stammers, "Let---let me see the person who is sick. I want to inspect his wound area and see how it's evolving."
Kaylayne knows little of healing, but does use her wand on both injured mages to see if there is any effect.
"TheSunRises!" - CLW Mage #1
"TheSunRises!" - CLW Mage #2
She will then check what she can do for either mage.
Heal - treat poison/disease?
"Garridan, can you do anything?"
"No, no elves, just these beasts, the dwarves, and Clegg Zincher's party down the trail. I was bitten on the first day, but I did not succumb to the disease."
One of the cyphermages rises, slightly and shakily, the other continues to groan in his sleep. He is covered in sweat, yet he shivers as if cold. His wound is red and oozes puss. He is clearly suffering from a disease of some sort. He'll gain the bonus from Kaylayne at his next save.
Samaritha holds a wand out to the party, "Our healer had this. It's a wand of lessor restoration, but none of us can use it."
Kaylayne takes the wand from Samaritha, examining it on her own.
Spellcraft
Wielding both wands, she gets to work on Gibbs first.
"You're not dead yet, Gibbs. Rise and shine," Kaylyane mutters.
"TheSunRises!" - CLW Gibbs
"TheSunRises!" - CLW Gibbs
"bib-IC!" - Lsr Restore (Con)
She heals Derwyn, Samaritha, and Meylor as well.
"TheSunRises!" - CLW Samaritha
"TheSunRises!" - CLW Derwyn
"TheSunRises!" - CLW Meylor
"TheSunRises!" - CLW Meylor
She offers the wand of lesser restoration back to Samaritha. 'Do you want this back? Otherwise I can hold onto it. Also, this wand of curification is yours if you need it, Samaritha. We have another around."
Kaylayne gets up from tending the wounded.
"Ederin, is there anything we can do to thin out the numbers of the cats? Not even really sure why they are attacking here. If they wanted food, there is plenty outside for them to drag away. Why aren't they sated by now?" Kaylayne glances at Samaritha and mages, wondering if they have answers.
"Garridan, can you do anything?"
Garridan shakes his head, "No. I can do nothing for them except offer some words of prayer on their behalf to the Accidental god"
As the party heals and discusses their options, the Cyphermage at the tower’s peak (Derwyn) calls down below, ”Here they come again! And there are a of them!” He closes the roof door and bolts it.

You hear very little sound as the nearly silent creatures attack the tower. You watch as the akatas surge out of the surrounding forest. The alien monsters are unnaturally silent as they move, and shockingly fast and limber, their bodies moving with a strangely nauseating grace as they gallop into the ruins. Some of the creatures stop to paw at any bodies or pieces of gear left outside, but they do not linger.

Garridan hurriedly asks, "Are we safe from their reach inside these walls?"

Dimitrio is mesmerized watching the pack animals approach the tower.
He waits for confirmation that they are indeed safe but his rapier is in his hand.
Just in case, he can shoot out the window, he looks at his magical wand, puts it back, and asks, "Is there a spare crossbow or something that I shoot out the window?"
The tower, as I mentioned, is very smooth - as if made from a single block of stone. It could only be climbed with difficulty, though it is possible.
There are windows - really very small at the lower level, but somewhat larger at the upper levels. Even there, you don't think one of these creatures could get through - but maybe.
The door at the first floor and the hatch on the roof are the only 'full size' passages.

"Have they breached the tower anywhere recently?"

Kaylayne pulls out her wand and enchants up another 3 stones, getting ready to rock.
"How will they get in? Where are the weak points? Should we barricade into a smaller room?" Kaylayne asks.

As the assault begins Ederin makes his way toward the roof of the tower, hoping to pick off a few of the beasts from above.
Dimitrio is mesmerized. Kaylayne readies to rock. Ederin double moves up into the tower (difficult terrain going up the stairs, not so going down - I moved you on the map even though the stairs don’t quite line up). Lief watches out one of the smaller windows on the first floor. Garridan readies a charge.
The cyphermages, largely, panic. They all cast mage armor on themselves and prepare their weapons. They hold them unskillfully and shakily. "The upper windows might give way, but these doors are pretty solid. Still, we should stick together I think... just in case." Samantha says as she draws her blade.
The scratches as the Atakas climb the outer walls in force are eerily discomforting. The tower itself groans under the new weight and seems to lean even further to the south - at least to Ederin who is a little further up. Two of the creatures attempt to break the windows (DC 13) in the downstairs outbuilding…
…while two others work the door (DC 18).

Ederin rushes up the second set of stairs and looks down the side of the tower to see the Akata's climbing the side.
"Oh hell!" He shouts at the man standing with him. "Could these things be a bigger pain in the ass? This tower better hold."
Drawing his bow he looses an arrow at the nearest beast hoping to drop it from the side.
Shaken out of his stupor by the akatas' attack, the bard grips his rapier harder and starts reciting a heroic poem.
His booming voice talked about a clan of dwarves who held strong against the battering onslaught of giants.
Ederin, there is a ladder and a closed and barred door between you and the roof. So you can get there and open the door, but that's it this round.
That said, at their current rate of climb, they 'll be on the roof next round as well. You sure you want to be outside, hemmed in by a half dozen of these things?

Unsure how much more to prepare, Lief pulls out a new concoction. He turns it over briefly, pleased with its light transmittance. He downs it quickly enough, and waits for something to target.
Dimitrio begins to inspire the little group to greater things. Kaylayne prepares more stones for the battle. Ederin rushes to the top floor and… (did you open the door?) Lief manages to become more graceful. Garridan prepares to attack by the door.
The cyphermages move about a little and try to centralize for mutual protection. They look much like the dwarves did with fear on their faces, and weapons held poorly. Smaritha looks much more confident. She’s fought before with you, and knows what you can do.
The tower shudders, and seems to settle… a little.
A couple of the Akatas fall off the walls, stand, and clamber back up a little ways.
As the Atakas take to the upper floor, some begin to claw at the windows smashing all of them.

He then readies his rapier should any akata breach the tower's defenses and be within melee range. The bard continues reciting with a deep, booming voice.

Running back down to the ground floor Ederin curses not having gone to the roof when they first walked in. "Might've gotten a few before they made it this far!
He stays close to Derwyn, hoping they can watch each others backs if the hatch above breaks. As he continues down the steps he shouts to his friends below.
"They broke through the windows up here! Hope one o' you has a brilliant plan cause all I got is wood and steel!"
"They broke through the windows up here! Hope one o' you has a brilliant plan cause all I got is wood and steel!"

Dimitrio readies his rapier and continues to inspire. Kaylayne casts barkskin further preparing. Ederin moves back down the steps. Lief readies his hand crossbow. Garridan readies to attack any that breach the doors.
The cyphermages finish getting into position with the rest of the group on the ground floor as the glass breaks in the upper levels above them. They look decidedly uneasy and cower a little, but they hold their weapons firmly and are ready to fight if need be.

Seeing the Akata in front of him Ederin drops his bow, draws his sword and takes a defensive stance."Since I guess you lot didn't hear the first time, I'll say it again. They broke through up here and "
Still shouting down the stairs he swings his sword at the cat-like beast but nearly topples down the stairs as he does so.
A few map notes...
Though it's not clear from the map, tight as it is, Ederin can 5' step down the stairs a bit to funnel the Atakas one at at time at him.
Currently two can attack. I'll assume you take that step unless you tell me otherwise.
Is Kaylayne on the stairs or down below? I think she's on the stairs, and if so she can see the cats over Ederin's shoulder as he is, after the 5' step, right next to her. -4 cover.
Someone could stand behind Kaylayne on the lower part of the steps and shoot through Kaylayne and Ederin, though it's improved cover in part due to the curving of the wall. -8 cover.

Dimitrio cringes at the noise of the door busting open. "I thought you all said this door would hold?!"

Seeing the door smash down from the weight of the beasts, Lief can only think to produce an alchemist's fire, and lob it just past the lead akata, and hope to scare them off for fear of further fires.
Dimitrio, attacking through the doorway, hits brown. Kaylayne crits and staggers, the Ataka at the top of the stairs. Ederin misses his target, but his overriding concern is protection so he’s doing well. Lief’s attack misses, but falls among the beasts. The splash burns on their skin, but does not blister, nor do they seem to pay any attention to the heat, as if restistant as Samaritha suggested. Indeed his attack does more damage to the floor than the Atakas. Garridan also connects, but the beast does not drop.
The Cyphermages do as Dimitiro instructs, and let fly with Magic Missiles.
Samaritha keeps her head, and her spells as the creature drops, bleeding, to Gibbs magic missile.
Owen, with his rapier in hand, moves bravely, though naively, into the breech. ”I’ll hold the door Samaritha!”
”Owen, NO!” Samaritha cries, but too late.

Lief bruises his hip as he falls to the ground. He brings himself up quickly enough, from the safety of the rear, then fires a bolt through the doorway.
Dimitrio readies an attack. Kaylayne throws a pair of stones and dramatically weakens the Ataka hitting twice. Ederin strikes out at it as well and connects, finishing it. Lief shoots through the door and crits an Ataka (purple) staggering it. Garridan stands back up and waits for a target.
The Cyphermages get very excited at having dropped one with their last spells, and stand ready to do more damage with their rapiers if they can (boy, low level wizards really can’t do much can they?).
The mighty Owen however strikes at his favored target yet again, before 5’ stepping back into the relative safety of the tower.

The stone tower topples over onto its side, throwing every creature against the (now horizontal) western wall. DC 10 Reflex to avoid taking d6 damage (please roll your own damage if you fail the save).

However, you can’t use a bow while prone Ederin. There are Atakas ‘on’ Ederin (red) and Kaylayne (brown) in the mess. There is no new map for this next section so be descriptive if you try to move. It’s a DC 15 to climb the wall with all the debris and the like. The ‘door’ is 15’ ‘up’.
The Atakas outside, scramble to climb to the door and one makes it there first (blue). It seems to lick it’s chops as it looks down on the party and wizards all piled together on the new floor.
