Vasilios yells to the blinded women, I am casting a fire spell around you to protect you, it will not hurt you do not move.
Vasilios casts silent image, the illusion manifests as a column of fire that engulfs the desk and spreads up to the ceiling, the women is hidden inside it.
DC 14 will vs illusion to disbelieve should the dogs interact with it.
He will hold concentration to keep the illusion up.
Yanos channels and the old lady on the desk looks relieved but the one on the ground doesn't move. Ackuda meanwhile coats the area in glitter.
Meanwhile, Danyn moves up and punches a wolf, catching it in the hindquarters with a tough blow. The wolves turn on the new meat and go after Danyn.
Vasilios then creates illusory fire to protect the old woman standing on the desk.

Maaarv steps forward and quickly grabs a small vial. He vigorously shakes the glass container and the liquid inside begins to faintly glow. He throws it at the wolf directly between him and the prone woman.
[ooc]My Precise Bombs discovery will protect the prone woman from splash damage. The other wolves will get 6 points splash damage.[/dice]
Also, Maaarv tries to determine if there might be anything special about these wolves.

[dice=Will save vs Yanos's channel energy because I am a dhampir]1d20+2
Vasilios yelps in a pleading pain.
Argh!!!! It burns, please, please, let me distance myself before you do that!
HERE, last I heard, is how it works in PFS, even though it's basically completely ignores what the books say.
-
Cleric channels positive energy to heal the living? Living are affected. Undead are unaffected, and so are creatures with NEA because they're treated as undead.
-
Cleric channels positive to harm undead? Living are unaffected. Undead are affected, and so are creatures with NEA because they're treated as undead.
-
Cleric channels negative energy to harm the living? Living are affected. Undead are unaffected, and so are creatures with NEA because they're treated as undead.

FAQ, although it really doesn't clear up anything.
I should be near the center, and for my next turn I'll probably try to get in position to take the most AoO's I can, but I can't seem to find the map.
Danyn quickly knocks out one of the wolves. Maaarv tosses a bomb into the mix, hitting one of the wolves and splashing onto the others. He doesn't notice anything out of the ordinary with these wolves.
Ackuda brings down even worse luck on the blinded wolf while Yanos readies against any on-coming wolves.
The wolves continue to attack the instigator Danyn.
Yanos beats in to the first wolf.
Ackuda gives one of the wolves a nasty look.
Maaarv tosses another bomb into the mix and takes down all three wolves at once.
Judge Praowdca thanks you profusely for saving her, "Oh my! Bless you all! What a cohesive crew you have, cutting down those canines! Please, here, take this!" She offers the party the ceremonial sword she was using. "No doubt you folks can use it better than I ever could."
Aura faint abjuration and enchantment; CL 1st
Slot belt; Price 360 gp (lesser), 1,680 gp (normal), 4,120 gp
(greater); Weight 5 lbs
This ornate sword and belt impart uncanny confidence and insight while worn, granting a +2 competence bonus on Sense Motive checks. Three times per day, the wearer may draw the sword and deliver a single-word command, as per the spell. Lesser versions of swords of station exist that allow the wearer to cast command once per day, but they lack the confidence-boosting enhancements. Greater swords of station improve the competence bonus on Sense Motive checks to +5. A sword of station is blunted and poorly balanced, intended as a showpiece rather than a weapon. If used in combat, treat it as an improvised club.
She also runs behind the bench and procures a small music box with several gems inside. "Please, for saving my life, take this!"
The door behind the bench has been smashed open, and the drainage grating in one of the cells has been completely ripped from its mounting bolts. Judge Praowdca tells you that some other beast fled through there.

The judge seems pretty excited, throwing all kinds of awards at the party without knowing their names. Vasilios will try to calm her down with some introductions.
Hi. My name is Count Vasilios Darcora, that is Yanos, Ackuda, Danyn, and mister Bergavsten. Now that you know our names thank you for giving us all this stuff. So another beast broke out? Where did these beasts come from? Do you remember a Vilk? Many think he may be up to the attacks, or someone he wronged in the past is framing him somehow and making it look like he is a murderer. One way or another we need to find the fellow to stop this nonsense and keep people alive. Please tell us why Vilk would target you, who else could he be after for past disagreements?
"Oh, certainly! Excuse me, I'm just so flustered. Of course you seem to know who I am already but it I am pleased to meet all of you. I just saw the beast burst through there seconds before these ones took out my guards and came after me."
"Vilk? Oh, I do remember Vilk, of course I remember Vilk. Him, attacking people? Terrible, terrible! I suppose stranger things have happened in these parts. I used to fancy Vilk once upon a time but he wouldn't have me. I suppose I've always held a sourness in my heart towards him after that and, of course, I had to be the one to hand down his banishment. I was just doing my job, though; it wasn't anything personal. But to think he would want to kill me for such a thing! Terrible!"
"Well, whether or not that thing was Vilk is no matter to me! I fear it may be after others. If Vilk-or whoever-wanted me dead, you'd think it would have come after me itself instead of running past me down into the sewers. Put your heads to work, people! You may be good with fists and bombs, but I clearly wasn't the target! If the creature wanted me dead, I'd be dead! Hurry! It must be after someone else; you fell into its trap!"
"I will be fine, I will be fine! I'll lock myself in my office until this horrible night is over. We can discuss Vilk's banishment later, you folks need to get on your way!" The elderly judge begins to physically push you towards the broken door and the open grate where the monster left.
The tight confines of the courthouse sewers eventually open into wider tunnels collecting effluence from the neighboring buildings. The putrid stink of human refuse mingles with a more natural stink of decomposition. Bubbles and ripples occasionally break the water’s surface, filling the chamber with a constant gurgle.
The water in the collecting chamber is 2 feet deep and counts as difficult terrain. Anyone taking slashing or piercing damage in the sewers must make an immediate DC 12 Fortitude save or contract filth fever.
Assuming you're using something less powerful than daylight with a dhampir in the party, remember that creatures in dim light have partial concealment and creatures in darkness have concealment. Assuming someone has a light source the immediate lighting will be normal but ranged attacks may be in dim lighting.
As the party turns a corner to follow in the trail of the beast (the trail heads south on the map), the party nearly runs into a giant formless beast. Meanwhile, a swarm of spiders waiting to the north begins to. . . well. . . swarm towards you!

Beware the cube of ooze! It will burn like acid and engulf you to drown you in its digestive insides. However we have what it does not! Arms! And it is with these arms we will wield the weapons of its defeat! Fire to burn it! We will not run, we will clean this sewer of the ooze monster cube! *continues*
Vasilios speech will Inspire Courage (+1 charm/ fear/ attack/ and weapon damage)
He readies his spear with reach in case either the swarm or cube provoke.

Vasilios warns his allies of the gelatinous cube but encourages them to stay strong.

The ooze moves around into a more open area . It rolls over the top of Yanos, engulfing him.
The spiders descend on the rest of the party.

Maaarv cries out in surprise at the swarm of spiders. "Ahh, bugs! Why did it have to be BUGS!!"
He slides his smoked goggles from his forehead to over his eyes, this seems to calm him.
But the spiders seem to have sapped him of some of his strength.
Maaarv stumbles one square to the east. He quickly draws up an alchemical bomb and throws it on the floor at the spiders right in front of him.
Vasilios moves up to assist Yanos, who has been eaten by the cube. Ackuda continues to laugh as he beats the spiders out of his pant legs. Maarv regains his composure with his trusty goggles on and tosses at bomb at the spiders crawling about him. Although he slips he is still able to burn most of the spiders into oblivion. Danyn jumps away from the spiders and readies his spear against the cube of writhing gelatin. Yanos is able to fight off the anesthetizing slime and leap out of the cube. He then moves away from the cube.
The cube squeezes through the narrow sewer passageways and rolls over Vasilios.
Maaarv lobs a flask of chemicals at the ooze, causing it to sizzle. Danyn punches the ooze a couple of times.
Vasilios jumps back in time to not be engulfed by the ooze.

If so, Ill attack again.
