Zarzuket recognizes these monsters as scarlet worms, smaller yet still deadly cousins of the mighty purple worm.

Seeing a huge worm erupt before his eyes, Butyl casts a spell and mutters, "Go to hell."

Markavious shows no signs to his poor reception, he was not on this mission to entertain. Then after the floor erupts.
Questions.
1. What if any type of energy are the beasts resistant to?
2. What are there vulnerabilities
He turns the ring on his finger Thwhip turning invisible and flies up to a balcony
Mary buries one hideous claw into the hide of the worm nearest her.
Unable to resist the aasimar's powerful prayer, the worm closest to him vanishes with a *pop*.
Zarzuket's arcane missiles pelt the remaining worm but seem to little more than enrage the beast further.
Blinking in near the remaining worm, Gregar lands a mighty Abadar-blessed blow before it can react.
In response the scarlet menace convulses and heaves, vomiting up the contents of its stomach adjacent the inquisitor. Among the huge puddle of foul smelling stomach acid and bits and pieces of partially digested matter is a large raven-headed golem. The construct scans the room quickly before settling its gaze on Butyl and advancing to attack!
The remaining servants in the Great Room, those not crushed or pinned by the fallen balcony, scream and flee the area.
*CRASH* goes the golem as it tumbles into the conjured pit.
Intense Spells (Su): Whenever you cast an evocation spell that deals hit point damage, add 1/2 your wizard level to the damage (minimum +1). This bonus only applies once to a spell, not once per missile or ray, and cannot be split between multiple missiles or rays. This bonus damage is not increased by Empower Spell or similar effects. This damage is of the same type as the spell. At 20th level, whenever you cast an evocation spell you can roll twice to penetrate a creature's spell resistance and take the better result.
Mark's acidic rays burn deep gouges in the worm's thickly armored carapace. It begins to grow sluggish under the weight of its injuries.
In a shower of gore and armored carapace, Countess Mary tears the remaining worm to pieces.
"Nice work boys and girls, give 'em ano-" Adril shouts encouragingly only for his voice to suddenly become a gurgle. Appearing behind him is a tall, dark-haired man in a tattered red robe, a sort of primitive headdress, and red paint upon his face. He pulls a dagger from Adril's heart and then peers down into the Great Room while the hulking Venture Captain crumples to the ground, dead. “The Red Raven strikes for the Revolution!” he shouts.
He doesn't surrender but Gregor's fierce display does shake the resolve of the tall red-cloaked figure. Rendered blind by Shade's spell, his resolve is shaken even further.
As if in reply, a squadron of archers suddenly appear on the balcony with bows nocked with flaming arrows. They line up shots, splitting their fire between the pathfinders upstairs and those still in the Great Room.
Badly wounded by the volley of arrows, Osprey chants a spell that turns his skin rough and barky and then takes cover behind the table he'd been sitting at.

Moonlight pulls out the infernal healing wand and uses it on Shade
thus stopping the bleed.
Shade will cast sleet storm upon the archers on the upper level covering out away and down under completely removing their line of sight. Making sure I dont enclose any of my fellow pathfinders in said casting.

Not sure if Adril is mortally wounded or not, Butyl chooses to focus on healing his teammates.

Butyl confirms Adril's fate when Torag's grace washes over immobile body without effect. Osprey however, behind his improvised cover, breathes easier.

Markavious will fly down by the contessa Mary and cast Grasping Tentacles up top on the archers.

Markavious's conjured field of probing tentacles all hit their mark, tripping, blinding, and generally menacing the enemy forces on the balcony.
Mary easily scales the wall up onto the balcony and snatches up an archer (the one not being menaced by the field of tentacles) in her hideous clawed hand. The bloodied man howls in terror.
Blind and covered in infuriating glitter, the red-cloaked figure wraps his signature garment around himself and vanishes from sight.
The veil of his spell settles over Gregor's eyes but he sees no sign of the Red Raven.
Within the localized snowstorm all is quiet for a moment save the archer trapped in Mary's grasp.
Mary will rip the archer apart.
drop the archer as a free action
power attack
if he is still alive after that, he grabs him again on the last attack
In her room, invisible, mother will find and load her crossbow.
The bits and pieces of indiscernible meat that tumble from the balcony are all that remain of Mary's victim.

Markavious casts Message
Is there any hope for Adril?, Also would you like me to drop Grasping Tentacles, so Mary can move through easier?
Retching and coughing can be heard from within the cloud of sleeting ice.
Four of the archers escape from the sleet storm on the eastern side with their bows at the ready. Using the concealment to their advantage, they quickly take aim and fire on Zarzuket.
The other three do not show themselves but Mary can sense them fleeing north up the hallway.
Apparently the sleet is too much for either of them to keep track of what is going on. Mary will head north after the archers to the limits of her 100' life link, but then stop.
Pushing through the sleet Mary finds that one of the archers has opened a door to one of the guest quarters. Blocking her way into the room are two other archers, violently retching under the power of Butyl's spell.
She will happily claw at another archer.
power attack
Lunging from the sleet storm like some kind of wendigo, Mary scoops up another hapless archer.
Two of the archers expertly duck, evading the blast entirely. The other two aren't as quick. All that remains of them are puddles of melted flesh and bits of armor.
