Despite its name, this spell is not the equivalent of daylight for the purposes of creatures that are damaged or destroyed by such light.
Hurting my friends is she? Well, can’t have that.
”You grotesque b*%*$. I wouldn’t touch you with Mavaro’s prick. Come, look into my eyes. Feel what I feel. Let yourself become lost.”
Meligaster starts with his Bold Stare.
Following his stern gaze, Meligaster uses his wand to cast Slow, Will Save DC 14.
Minasako does not like that these intruders are taking all her fun away, not to mention they seem quite capable. She looks to Mavaro, and begins to cast a spell.
Mavaro resists the spell of the penanggalen.
Though Erasmus manages to hit and hurt her, she still casts the spell.

Estra's magical knife-helper continues to try to flail at Minasako, seemingly forgotten by the old woman as she ponders what to do next.
The woman decides on a course of action, moving in swiftly due to Erasmus' spell and settling next to Mavaro. "Let the knowledge of the next world be yours, friend."
Using Honaire's calm voice within her mind, a blur of spiritual energy appears between herself and the terrible creature.
Mavaro rushes forwards to stand by his comrade, "You need to fly higher if you want to escape me, chienne."
Mavaro looks up at the floating woman's head with matching innards, and mutters, "Two can play at this game, chienne." With a deep look of concentration, Mavaro draws upon the power of the magical headband to mimic his sword's power, and sets his mind to the task of defeating gravity.
That done, Mavaro triumphantly floats up to just above the creature's height, cornering her between himself and Erasmus.
Undead! Why it has to be undead all the time! And undead spellcaster! Oh, fate, you're really adding insult to injury
I hate this f*cking place!
Penetrating the creature's mind seems both very difficult and extremely repulsive, so Meligaster feels he better come up with something different. He drops the Wand of Slow, the useless stick it is. If he cannot harm the bïtch, at least he can try ruin her plans while his friends pound the shït out of her. Meligaster wiggles the fingers of his free hand, and points those deadly appendices towards the floating pile of guts - trying to make as recognisable rude gesture as the somatic movements let him.
"Come on, bïtch. Try your worst!"
Oh, and 3 extra points of damage to Minasako when Erasmus hit her (Painful stare)
Mavaro and Estra move up and hit Minasako, both wounding her even more, whilr Rivani and Meligaster ready for her to cast again.

Erasmus presses the attack with Mavaro, drawing back on his starknife and slashing wildly at the creature. His hand is steadier than it should have been, fear and doubt grappling with him at this moment, but his attacks were guided by the invisible and unwavering hand of the king. With the king's aid, haunting spirit gave Erasmus an unnatural strength he could never muster on his own.
"I'm with you, Mavaro," he calls. "Let's us bring her down and lay her to rest. Her wickedness shall come to end."

Yoon shuffles forward towards the door. Her back is slightly bowed, and her muscles ache with each movement, doing a remarkable impression of Estra's normal gait. The pain from the built up burn is beginning to take its toll, but the determined little girl grits her teeth and ignores it while the evil remains yet to be vanquished.
Once again, she holds her arms out, and the air swirls and pops, the very energy in the room being drawn to the Pyromaniac.
With glowing eyes, she again reaches out, unleashing a sticky, orange blast at the floating creature.

Once again the thrusts of Erasmus and Mavaro, combined with the fire from Yoon are too much for Minasako to deal with. As the Pathfinders can see her lungs slowing, and deflating, and see the beating of her heart begin to fail, she gurgles, "Not .... my ... time... was. supposed to ... be ...."
And with that, she falls dead to the floor.
The Pathfinders immediately move to the desk, where they find a cache of papers related to the Way of the Kirin. As they leaf through these papers, they see a roster of members from the previous century, and not just from Minkai, but all across Tian.
Buried in the ledgers is her personal journal, detailing her evils accomplishments on her way to immortality. These journals explain the numerous haunts, the slaying of innocents, in order to achieve immortality. Until that is, they showed up.
Knowing what they know about haunts, the Pathfinders feel that over time, the undead that were unable to find peace in death will soon be able to now that their creator is truly dead.
Life improves in Nagura—the townsfolk no longer fear to stay out after sundown or stray too far from home. Hinojai’s haunts fade a month after Minasako’s death.
The revelations concerning the Way of the Kirin set the Pathfinder Society abuzz. The Society has compelling reasons to suspect that the Aspis Consortium stands poised to form an alliance with the Golden League. That has driven the undercurrent theme of this expedition, and the factions will be redoubling their effort to make contact.
The Decemvirate makes discreet inquires about acquiring the Hinojai property as a regional base (once the haunts fade or are exorcised), hoping to tempt the Way to initiate contact. The Pathfinders should have a definite impression that the Way of the Kirin will be important in years to come.
