"Whoa! How did I suddenly start to fly! How do I steer this thing?"
Jaggar tries to fly up towards Maarve.
No clue what he needs to roll for a fly check. he has no fly skill.
@Jaggar: Since you already posted a set of actions to keep a readied action, I am going to use that as your action for the round.
@Maaarv:
The morlock keeps climbing the obelisk to the third floor and moves out of sight around the obsidian monument. You hear her speak some words in a foreign language.
As Maaarv flies upwards, three statues below him leap into action, likely defending the building.
The statues seem to rush down side pathways and you hear their heavy footsteps on the stairs.
Any chance the morlock used any of the following languages that Maaarv understands: Common, Elven, Dwarven, Orc, Osiriani, Kelish, Shoanti, Undercommon, Draconic, Varisian, Abyssal, Aquan, Tien
Maaarv follows the morlock up to the top of the strange monolith. Once up, and clear of the morlock, he throws another explosive bomb at the creature.
sure that is what he wanted anyway. not familiar with fly so do not know if getting fly cast upon him makes him start to fly immediately. was just playing it up.
Oddly enough, yes. She is speaking in Undercommon, however it is likely an incantation to the goddess Lamashtu. She cast a spell but you couldn't see her, thus you can't Spellcraft it.
Reflex:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
The statues seemed to have moved from the first floor to the second floor.
I was assuming it would be easier and quicker to Fly, especially if there are statues running around trying to intercept us. If the fellas don't want to Fly the whole way, they can land and handle things that way.

"Alie, do you want me to pop my fly potion, should I wait for you to touch me so I can fly, or should I guard the stairs?" Mathais says as he waits for Alie's response.
"I've got more spells today if you want to save the potion, or you can chug it right down. Up to you. But I do think all of us need to get up there, and if we don't have to take the stairs, we might be able to avoid some foes."
For each hit, the morlock needs to make a DC Reflex save as a full-round action or take 1d6 fire damage until the flames are put out. Rolling on the ground adds 2 to the roll.
Jaggar continues to fly up using his doggy paddle stroke (he is not accustomed to flying) until he is with the others.
not sure if he can attack this round with his flying and the distance.
Jaggar and Jarlgur crush one of the columns as Mathais and Alie catch back up.
Fire Damage:1d6 ⇒ 5
The morlock passes out from the flames and plummets down to a splash below. The creature's broken body can be seen floating in the pond around the base of the obelisk.
Over the next three rounds, the Pathfinders destroy the columns one-by-one until a deep rumbling permeates the area. To the south, shaky lumber extends over the cove toward a makeshift platform that towers over a sinister rock formation resembling a fiendish snarl. At the planks’ distant end, several shivering forms lie outstretched, profanely tied in offering. A waterfall roars behind the rock formation, and the shadow of a dark cave lingers beyond the waterfall’s curtain. A thick mist rises from the cove’s waters some 30 feet below the rickety scaffold.
A giant spider creatures erupts from the middle of the area and consumes three of the humanoids on the platform with ease.
The giant spider lashes out and gobbles up three more tied up humanoids as its eyes glimmer with the colors of the rainbow. The creature's mandibles bite and sever the flesh of its prey as the screams echo across the cavern, muffled only by the waterfall.
Kn.(Arcana) DC 21:
Not all constructs are formed from unliving matter like stone, wood, metal, or dead flesh. In the darkest corners of the Great Beyond, certain powerful demon lords have mastered the art of shaping the raw, protoplasmic flesh of the Abyss into hideous monstrosities devoid of life, emotion, and the will to resist control. The monstrous retriever is the best-known of such constructs, a huge spider-like creation capable of unleashing potent energy upon those it has been ordered to seek.
Demon lords use retrievers to seek out those who dare abandon their loyalties or flee from servitude. Often, the presence of a retriever in a demon's den is enough in and of itself to ensure the loyalty of the lesser demons. The constructs also excel in tracking down specific objects and returning them to their masters—their intelligence is just enough to allow them to focus on their ordered tasks but not quite enough for them to form ideas of rebellion and longings for freedom.
They are remarkably brutal using their bite and four claws to rend the flesh from opponents with ease. The worst part is the prismatic eye blasts that the retriever can use to inflict damage or death on its victims.
"Ugh, this thing is really bad," Alie yells as she describes its properties. She casts Haste, hoping her friends could put a hurt on the monster before it could cause more death and destruction.
Remember your Haste bonuses. Also, please read the DM's last spoiler for the K. Arc. roll. I'm on my phone, so I don't want to re type everything. This fight's going to be a doozy, I'm afraid!
Maaarv and Mathais follow Jaggar and Jarlgur, leaving Alie behind. The huge retriever leaps over to the other platform to crunch down on three more archaelogists... It seems only a matter of a few more seconds before he eats the rest.
Alie closes to within range and casts Fireball at the retriever, before the others engaged it in melee. She keeps at range of around 150' however, not wanting to get too close to the beast.
Mathais and Jaggar take down the Chaos that Crawls in a single round as Jarlgur resists the petrifying effect. The retriever’s corpse quickly sinks to the bottom of the cove’s cold waters after plummeting eighty feet in a mighty splash.
With their enemies vanquished, you may rescue Benton Grone, Marianix Karn, and any other surviving members of the Athenaeum expedition. While Rachikan seems quiet, Grone warns you that thousands of morlocks still creep amid the forgotten city’s shadowy ruins. Unless you want to stay and face an onslaught of angry morlocks (and possibly more stone golems), they had best retreat.
Grone leads you to a secret staircase by which he enters and exits Rachikan’s ruins. This staircase steadily rises until it pierces the side of Anferita’s central pillar. Here, a boat that Grone uses to reach civilization is moored to a crude dock for supplies and respite. Grone happily ferries you up the Maiestas River and into Belde.
Shortly after the defeat of the creature, Pathfinder Bane ascends the obelisk and thanks you for saving Marianix Karn. They have a short conversation in private before the pair offers to get the archaeologists to safety.
Due to having 5 players and your APL, you are forced to play down despite being able to handle high tier. :( Hopefully, the RP at the Hellknight camp made up for it!
