Arisira finds that the tablet is completely corrupted from its original purpose. It was originally meant to provide a defense against otherworldly influence, the altered inscription details how to welcome a fiendish spirit into one’s body, describing giving one’s soul over to such beings as a wonder greater than gold.
You know how to twist this ritual table to back to its original purpose and can use it to purge someone of possession at least temporarily.
That character can activate the tablet as a standard action to force any creature possessed by a fiendish spirit to succeed at a DC 20 Will save or be stunned for 1 round.
Moving over to the breached wall - it is the same chamber you fought the small asura the last time you were here. The giant seal built by Jetembe and his Magic Warriors has been destroyed and a large hole in the wall leads down to a chamber.
We can...maybe rebuild it but there are those Aspis agents down there even as we speak trying to break open the seal. A small number of grippli mystics run down the stairs past you.
They will do their best to keep the fiend, Parveen, in check but you will have to hurry to help them and put down the fiend for long enough that we can seal it again...

Vera nods. "We'll get to the seal as quickly as possible." She holds her rapier in her and and tries to look like she's ready to almost die again.
T Khan will fit just fine - place was built for Giants
As you proceed down the stairs you see torn rubble as multiple berries have been picked through. The team of grippli scramble into the gap to chant as you see the fiend break its bonds and listless Aspis agents turn their pickaxes in your direction.

Purple will provoke from Mak'da as he moves in because she has reach. She will try and trip him,
Trip, IC, haste:1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 14 + 2 + 1 = 26 This does provoke but unless he has reach or strike back he wont be able to take an OA. If he does hit I tke 5 less damage due to DR.
Just as a note, if you drop a blade barrier directly on someone the save is to negate all damage rather than halve. Mak'da has therefore taken either no damage or 17 depending on the trip
Mak'da glides forward, into the ground, under the enemy and ppops up behind them.
This provokes from Purple if he wasnt tripped, otherwise it doesnt.
As she rises out of the ground she raises one hand and casts a spell, tying to dispel the wall.
CL check:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
But without success. She orders T'Khan to stay for now as she doesnt want him to get shredded by the wall.
Can one of you get rid of barrier or maybe teleport T'Khan into here?

Vera casts Holy Smite right on top of the Aspis Agents. Then moves forward into the fray drawing her rapier as she goes. She gets right up to the blade barrier and stops.
SR:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 Damage if they are Evil:4d8 ⇒ (3, 2, 7, 7) = 19 Damage if they are Evil Outsiders:4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6, 6) = 23 20 Foot Burst. Put it where it won't hit my allies. If it hits one Valen. He's good so it won't do any damage. DC 17 Will Save or blinded for 1 round. A successful Will saving throw reduces damage to half and negates the blinded effect.
The spell deals only half damage to creatures who are neither good nor evil, and they are not blinded. Such a creature can reduce that damage by half (down to one-quarter of the roll) with a successful Will save.

Finding herself cut off from the others, Arisira speaks a few arcane words- and a shimmering door opens in front of her. Stepping through, she appears beside Mak'da and attempts to hide in the rubble.

"Mak'da I can bring T'khan with me. Please tell him to come forward to me." Once T'khan is within her touch range, she reaches out to touch him. Then she uses Dimensional Hop to move through the Blade Barrier.
Dimensional Hop (Sp): At 8th level, you can teleport up to 10 feet per cleric level per day as a move action. This teleportation must be used in 5-foot increments and such movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. You must have line of sight to your destination to use this ability. You can bring other willing creatures with you, but you must expend an equal amount of distance for each creature brought.
One of the grippli's eyes turn red and features turn daemonic it reaches into its pouch and obtains a bag of dust from it's pouch and waits for something to happen.
The Red miner keeps its focus on Valin and strikes with vigor
From her spot, Arisira throws a handful of ground mica at the spot where the read miner disappeared and then runs behind the now present form of T'Khan.
While Valins body bleeds its final blood Mother Bogwynne rushes down We have to hurry, these keepers cannot hold the fiend much longer....it seems we have two choices - re-bind the find hoping it will hold or kill her knowing she will reincarnate even stronger, but ending the threat entirely for now. I leave it up to you, since you have earned us this victory

Vera moves up to Valen, and kneels. "My friend I will raise you. As soon as we finish this, and I can pray for my spells you will come back."
She looks up. "Rebind the creature. It will hold or I'll die here stopping her."
The Halfling turns to Mother Bogwynne to echo the thoughts of her companions. "It seems only right that we rebind the creature. However, I am afraid I do not know the ritual. Will you help guide regarding what needs to be done?"
The Good News is that I do know the ritual, or enough of it anyway, to make it work. Unfortunately the ritual will cost quite a bit of money in material component that we do not currently have. If we had the backing of the Society's financiers we might be able to do it however...
Say the letters of marque that the Trade Prince provided for Arisira and Mak'da
Upon seeing those letters the Mother Boggwyne and Purrpurup are more than happy to accept the terms of the proffered trade deal and soon you are able to acquire the material components you need.
Since Vera is casting the spell, you only need to cover 5000 in material components for Valin, which comes out to 1750 gold a piece, which I am more than happy to deduct from the chronicle sheet.
The grippli spend the next week or so with your aid rebuilding the seals. The lizardfolk and grippli of the Kaava lands have been hailing you as the heroes you are, building edifices in your likeness

"You don't need to make a statue of us. We were just happy to help with your problem. I'm so happy we were able to work out a situation with the materials."
Vera works hard to rebuild the seals making sure as best she can that they hold.
With all of your help, the Fiend is ultimately re-sealed and an alliance forged between the grippli and the society with an eye on keeping the temples safe long term.
You return to Eleder greeted by Finze Bellaugh - roast wild boar and vegetable, tall glasses of whiskey and long high quality cigars awaiting each of you.
So my friends, it seems your services have now been well-rendered. I have nothing left outstanding for fine agents like you, what will you get up to now?
True to form, Arisira quickly finds herself on a makeshift stage surrounded by a cloud of Cigar smoke. "And then we snuck into the very cave where we knew the thunderbird eggs would be located before... ZAP! Blindsided by a blast of electrical energy so strong that..."
Perfomance, oratory:1d20 + 22 ⇒ (19) + 22 = 41
As the fire dies down and the crowd heads home- Arisira finds that her several glasses of wine are finally catching up with her.
"I suppose it will be back to Absalom, for the time being. I certainly will miss the jungle- that is for sure. The heat and humidity have grown on me, if I am being honest. I guess its up to the Decemvirate now."
I am up for whatever. Arisira is actually the highest level I have taken a character in PFS, so most of the high level things I have never played (I have played "salvation of the sages").
