Two of the undead archers nock arrows and let them fly, which hit Tronar's wall and clatter to the ground. They screech out a warning to their fellows to change tactics.
Sial: "Excellently done. Let's slay this thing quickly"
He finishes his spell, and a gigantic humanoid form made entirely of flame appears next to the plant, immediately slamming its fists into the vegetation.
Perceiving no alternative to Tronar's odd recommendation to "stop playing around with the plant thing," with the Wall of Force now clearly up, Ziranu moves up another five feet, and again takes advantage of Clustered Shots to minimize the plant's damage reduction against his weaponry, hoping to finish it off quickly and turn to focus on the undead threat...
Tronar identifies the archers as baykoks, undead that can consume the souls of the dying and unleash paralyzing howls. Luckily, you are out of range of both these attacks (though they can fly), and these monsters are actually fairly weak.
Unluckily, you are NOT out of range of their arrows, which can also cause paralysis, and suffering that within reach of the plant would be very bad news.
thanks Kamro...i must have overlooked the label and was focused on the arrows :) .... by the way, is this an open air courtyard? meaning they can fly over my 30' wall? (of course they don't yet know how tall it is
Searok would miss due to the wall, but tell you what, since he already saw the two baykoks shoot it, he knows it's there, and I can have him delay until one of them gets over it.
I'll say that the first baykok needs to spend his acting flying along the Wall of Force to find the top, but doing so means the other ones now know where it is. They still need to get over it though, so no full attacks this round.
Searok can take his shot now, which would be a hit.
Damage:1d10 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Lacking ranged attacks, Asyra will delay, calling out "Laori, Air Walk me now!"
Next baykok will fly over the wall and take one shot at Tronar.
"Does anyone feel the need to fly up there? if so, move towards the invisible wall and I will accommodate you."
Effectively Tronar is in Delay. He will come out of delay if Searok or another Melee type answers "yes", then move to them and cast Fly....otherwise Tronar will stay in Delay
Ziranu offers a well-timed flexing of the buttocks in appreciation to Shaeda, and nods grimly in thanks to Sial as he fades from sight, before silently stepping five feet to the west and unleashing an acidic storm of blunt arrows at the southernmost undead archer!
Ziranu's first two shots finish off the first baykok, and he redirects the rest to the nest in line. Thr first misses, but the last two badly damage it.

"I can not allow you to be paralyzed!" she says quitely.
She focuses on Asyra and remotely uses her ability to help!
Moving 5 ft towards Asyra (could you please move me on the map as I cannot open the map on my phone :/) and using ranged lay on hands and the master healing technique to heal paralyzed on top with a DC 35 profession herbalist roll.
profession herbalist:1d20 + 29 ⇒ (14) + 29 = 43 Asyra healing from lay on hands:6d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 6, 6, 1, 2) = 21
RANGED LAY ON HANDS:
Prerequisite(s): Cha 15, Improved Lay on Hands, lay on hands class feature. Benefit: As a full-round action, you can use your lay on hands ability to heal a creature within 20 feet. This does not allow you to harm undead at a distance with your lay on hands ability. Normal: You must be able to touch a creature to use the lay on hands ability.
Master Healing Technique (Su):
At 7th level, whenever a Pei Zin practitioner heals a living creature with her healer’s way ability, as a free action she can attempt a Profession (herbalist) check to remove a condition from the target, with each condition having an accompanying Profession (herbalist) DC (see the list below). She cannot take 10 or 20 on this check, nor can she receive aid from any creature except another Pei Zin practitioner (though the practitioner need not be an oracle; see pages 24–25 of Pathfinder Player Companion: Alchemy Manual). Failure by 5 or more causes the target to become sickened for 1 round (if the Pei Zin practitioner is attempting to remove the sickened condition, this extends it by 1 round). Similarly, failure by 10 or more instead causes the target to become nauseated for 1 round or to have its existing nauseated condition extended by 1 round. A creature that cannot be sickened or nauseated cannot have conditions removed by this ability.
Minor Conditions (DC 20): Fatigued, shaken, and sickened.
Major Conditions (DC 25): Dazed and staggered.
Severe Conditions (DC 30): Confused, exhausted, frightened, and nauseated.
Dire Conditions (DC 35): Blinded, deafened, paralyzed, and stunned.
This ability replaces the revelation gained at 7th level.
Anastasia's healing techniques successfully remove Asyra's paralysis. Unfortunately, her ministrations may be short lived.
One of the baykok's lands in the courtyard, and unleashes a vile howl that chills you to your very soul.
Dread Howl (Su) Once per day, a baykok can unleash a blood-curdling howl. Any living creature within a 30-foot-radius burst becomes paralyzed with fear for 1 round unless it resists with a DC 19 Will save. Any creature that makes this saving throw is instead shaken for 1 round. This is a fear effect. The DC is Charisma-based.
I've drawn a template on the map, looks like Shaeda, Ziranu, Anastasia, Asyra, and Sial are within range.
With Freedom of Movement active on Ziranu, he's immune to paralysis. Would that mean he's immune to the Dread Howl's effects entirely, given that paralysis is the "worst" or failed-save result, or that he simply saves automatically but is somehow still subjected to the lesser successful-save result? Thanks, Kamro.
Tronar will cast another wall of Force to stop the onslaught of arrows from on high. this time he will leave a gap at tha bottom for the beast to come through melee range or face a flying Searok/airwalking chain spike expert.
I put a text box that shows the first wall is from 0-30 feet. the second wall is 10-40 feet tall hopefully stopping a full attack round of 4 arrows a piece
"i have put up another barrier in front of the archers. if you want to fight them, go low and then up at the first wall where their arrows stopped short to find the path"
A baykok fires an arrow, only to see it hit an invisible wall once again to its frustration. The second one fires a few more arrows, determining where the wall starts and stops, so once again they'll know from now on, but have been effectively robbed of actions.
Sial moves up and strikes at the grounded one with his own spiked chain.
Ziranu moves invisibly to the east a total of 55 feet, leveraging his hasted movement speed, then "goes low" as Tronar noted and edges in just under line where the undeads' arrows were stopped. He fires a single blunt arrow within point blank range at the closest baykok to the east to draw them down...

Anastasia moves into the middle of the battle.
I’m so sorry but I’m traveling and roll20 on my phone reloads the map all the time so I can’t see anything. :-( Can you please move Anastasia so she’s 30 ft from everyone?
“Pharasma!! I call your power!!“
Anastasia suddenly sends waves of positive energy into your bodies but she excludes all the enemies!
Channel 4/8; 9d6 to all allies, excluding up to 7 enemies :9d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 4, 4, 1, 1, 2, 6, 5) = 35 and Anastasia heals another 9*2 from fey foundling and 13 from planar infusion for 35+18+13=66 damage which negates the damage she took from having life link transferring the team’s damage to her.
Additionally, you all feel that Anastasia’s faith into the lady of graves not only heals the body, but it tugs the strands of fate!!
FATEFUL CHANNEL - please ALL players read as you get a free reroll: Fateful Channel feat: Benefit(s): When you channel positive energy to heal living creatures, you grant each creature you heal the ability to roll twice and take the better result on a single attack roll, skill check, or saving throw of their choice within a number of rounds equal to your Charisma bonus (minimum 1). Multiple uses of this ability do not stack, but they do reset the effect’s duration. A creature can only benefit from one instance of this channel effect at a time.
Positive energy washes over you all, invigorating you.
The baykok steps back and unleashes an array of arrows, at Laori, Searok, and Sial (only the first creature struck in a round risks getting paralyzed though).
Shaeda will delay. Her plan is to move along with Searok, to keep him BG'd. Rather than ready just a Move action, whenever Searok moves, Shaeda will come out of delay once he is done, and move to catch up.
"This is the last of the extra speed I've afforded you. Now stop playing around with these stick slingers. Don't make me hit you with this wand again." Tronar continues to smile and internally laugh at his humor in the middle of this horror.
Tronar goes into delay. Everyone has 1 more round of Haste. if we continue into the next round, I will see if we need to speed things up again.
The two baykoks will have to swoop down beneath the wall to take their shots, so I'm just going to say they're at ground level now for simplicity's sake. Because of the move, they get one shot each, which I will have them focus on the paralyzed characters in an attempt to keep them out of the fight.
