If the cube is still animated by the time Hallothien acts he will summon another eagle to attack it and keep it distracted to the kineticists can blast it again.

Implement servitor (2/4 per day)

Talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 3
Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Pelted with earth twice, frozen, clawed and beaked, the young gelatinous cube has enough strength to crawl forward and strike at Geoffrey.

attk: 1d20 ⇒ 1>>slam: 1d4 ⇒ 3>>acid: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Argh!

AoO for Hallo's eagle, all PCs up

I said....get buried

1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 91d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Geoffrey calmly steps backwards, and throws more sharpened stones at the cube.

Earth Strike: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 11, for 1d6 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 11 Slashing damage.

"It's not dead yet, how surprising." Katharina says with slight annoyance as she tries to blast the cube with cold again.

Cold Blast: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

The psychic onslaught sends the ooze back to the primordial line.

In the distance, the sounds of Janira in combat can still be heard. Rushing toward it, you soon burst from the caves and back into the world outside. To a normal humanoid, the light of the surface world above would likely be a welcome reprieve from the blue and green fungus of the caverns below, but to your group it's just a little annoying.

Nearby is a stream whose water is hastened by runoff from a recent storm further up the mountains. A ledge to the west rises up to the nearby forest canopy. Nearly 100 feet from the cave’s entrance, Janira Gavix is locked in combat with her relentless minotaur foe in a clearing on the southern bank of the stream. Apparently, she has been doing laps around the mount for a few hours and has sustained several serious wounds, but continues to shout in defiance, “You vile beast! I know not what drives your black heart, but I shall not fail in my duty. I shall see you driven from this forest, back to the hills from whence you came!”

INITIATIVE:
Hallothien : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Janira: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Geoffrey : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Katharina : 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Kain : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
minotaur: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (5) + 0 = 5

[all PCs up]

"She's not dead yet. How surprising." Katharina nearly echoes her previous comment as she moves a top speed towards the fight.

Double Move, taking the difficult terrain into account. What is the blue arrow supposed to represent?

Disregard blue line. Delete if you can.

Frowning, Geoffrey calls up yet another blast of slashing stones, and hurls them at the Minotaur!

Earth Blast: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14, for 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 Slashing damage.

Line removed :-)

on phone, please double move me closer :) thanx

Kain surprised like everyone at Janira's resolve, moves closer to the fracas as his powers aren't efficient from this distance.

Moved Kain and Kath. Geof using Extended Range Earth Blast yes?

Hallothien rushes forward, pushing his way through the underbrush towards the river. As he does he speaks a word to enhance his longbow.

Implement Longbow (focus 4/5)

All PCs benefit from Inspire Courage +1

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18

Janira ducks, weaves and dives, then with her small whip unsuccessfully tries to disarm the minotaur of his axe. "$#!+", she uncharacteristically curses as she backs away. When Geoffrey's flying earth slams into the minotaur, “Aha, hello my friends!" Janira shouts upon seeing your group coming to the rescue. "Remember Selmius Foster’s race against a marid and efreeti on the isle of Jalmeray, which taught us that nothing is truly impossible and every situation can end in vic-!”

axe: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 >>damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 = 10

All the yammering distracts Janira from combat as the minotaur crushes her with his axe. "MOOOOO!!", he then turns his attention to you.

*Janira down and bleeding out
*all PCs up

Katharina slowly moves through the undergrowth and prepares a surprise if the minotaur gets closer.

Move Action: 3 squares through difficult terrain. Readied action: Use Slick on the minotaur if he gets within 30 feet. It acts like a Grease spell for 1 round, a DC 14 Reflex save negates.

Out of the way halfling... Hallothien draws back the string on his longbow, the arrow tip bursting into flames. The minotaur complies by bashing Janira into the dirt.

Thank you. He releases at the monster.

legacy (flaming) + psychic + bardic.
Longbow: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 1 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 2 + (4) = 14

@GM Pathmaker: Yes, using Extended Range.

Geoffrey winces as Janira is smacked down.

"Damn..."

He then throws another blast of earth at the minotaur.

Earth Blast: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8, for 1d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 10 damage.

Kain's jaw drops as Janira drops. He moves forward 5' and causes the earth to jettison up underneath the giant bovine.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

grease DC14: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
STR chk DC12: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Hallothien skewers the beef monster like a grilled treat; Geoffrey and Kain sends some dirt into the water stream; Kath greases the pan but the minotaur runs straight through it.

target roll: 1d2 ⇒ 2
axe on Kath: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 >>damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 2) + 4 = 7

The minotaur wades in with blade slashing at the white haired woman, dealing a gaping wound.

*Janira down and bleeding out
*all PCs up

"This is getting a little too close for comfort..."

He then moves forward, and throws another blast of slashing stones at the Minotaur!

Earth Blast: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 1 = 22, for 1d6 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9 damage.

Assuming the river is difficult terrain, I believe the minotaur should have had to make two move actions to get to it's current position.

Waiting on confirmation of minotaur's location before posting.

Recounted last and this round; moved minotaur five feet back but reach weapon still hits.

Hallothien withdraws, heading west towards the log.

Realizing how lucky she is to still be alive, Katharina withdraws from the minotaur.

Withdraw action

Hallothien and Kath spread out from the danger. The minotaur staggers from its wounds and takes a few steps back, when Geoffrey beans it with a chunk of granite right on the snout. "MOOOOOOO! ::thump:: ::splash::

The beast lays in the creek, coloring the stream red.

COMBAT OVER

With the beast defeated, Hallothien moves to the log, carefully crosses, and heads toward Janira.

Take 10 on acrobatics. Total = 11

Once he reaches the halfling he presents his mirror again and calls upon his occult knowledge to heal her wounds.

Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Geoffrey breathes a sigh of relief as the Minotaur falls.

He then carefully follows Hallothien over to Janira.

"Does she still live?"

For her part, Katharina walks back over to the minotaur and stabs him with her dagger a few times for good measure.

Janira is breathing and has stopped bleeding but remains unconscious.

"She will live."

Hallothien hands one of the potions of cure light wounds from Janira's pack to Katharina and administers the second to the unconscious halfling.

Cure Light Wounds potion for Janira: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

With Janira safe, though suffering from a little post-traumatic stress, you make your way back to Absalom. Once safely back in the Grand Lodge, Master of Scrolls Kreighton Shaine inquires excitedly about what the party found and asks to see your notes. He compliments those who recorded notes for being certain to write down ideas and observations while the thoughts are fresh, observing that it’s difficult enough to remember what one had for breakfast the day before as it is to recall exactly what one was thinking while studying an inscription. As the party is now the foremost authorities on that cave and what it contains, Shaine also invites you to come up with its name.

Three days later, it is confirmed that each of you are full Pathfinder field agents. As part of the ceremony, gifts of personalized wayfinder to you, reminding him or her that this is not only the symbol of the Pathfinder’s trade but also a reminder of the three principle duties: explore, report, and cooperate.

Congratulations, You are done! Primary and Secondary mission success. I'll try to get out chronicles later tonight or tomorrow.

Awesome, thanks! Very fast run.

Yes, a very good, fast run. Cheers.
