Findlay will be right behind Aramantha
Moving up to the next room you see..
"Painted on the floor of this circular chamber is a stylized image of a recumbent lion. Dozens of miniature figurines stand atop a low platform that rings the room. The figurines are of varying manufacture, some glazed clay, some carved and painted wood, others wax with chips of metal and colored stone wedged into their forms."
A closer look reveals that the painted lion figurine holds a broken arrow its jaws and the head of the arrow points to the easternmost
figurine on the northwest section of the platform. That figurine is blue glazed clay and radiates an aura of faint abjuration.
Spellcraft indicates holding it might protect the holder from something.
Map updated with yalls present location.
"I recommend our point man carry the additional protection ward, and lead the way north..."
Your spellcraft tells you about the protection.
Hemket takes the statue as point man and heads into the room. Once in his spider sense immediately goes off, but no trap is set off. He is able to locate the trap and disarm it..
Moving down the hallway you see in the next room.
An elaborate painting of a pharaoh figure standing against a solar disk covers the floor of this circular chamber.
The painting radiates strong conjuration magic and hieroglyphs on the wall at the entrance translate to "Abase yourself mortal"..
Hemket still nagged by his instincts gives the room a very close once over.
take 20 perception for 51 (58 for traps)
Definitely trapped.. You think some sort of teleportation trap.. A risky disarm.
Nonetheless, it is his job, so he tries to disarm it.
Somehow he manages to disarm it.. Moving into the next room you see.
This grand chamber is hazy with the aromatic smoke of incense, and four fat columns covered with carved hieroglyphs support the ceiling. At the center of the room, a simple bull hieroglyph is painted on the floor in shimmering metallic gold, and large humanoid statues with the heads of longhorned bulls stand in alcoves to north and south. A crystalline topaz pyramid stands in the western end of the chamber, pulsing with a bright amber glow.
Standing beside the pyramid you all see..
Twice the height of a human, this horned monstrous warrior wields a massive blade and wears dark full plate
and what appears to be a human male with a chain shirt and scimitar speaking.
They both look up as you enter the room. The Div speaks..
"I see you bypassed the teleportation room. I guess I'll have to destroy you now."

If it's outerplanar Ama casts Banishment(Will 26)
...
If not she will put a Wall of Silver between us and them
You know it's a Sepid Div, that's it.. Spell fails to penetrate it's SR..
Hemket will open up on the Div.

Some unknowns happen and then it's the rest of the groups turn before the Div goes..
Canaan will ready an action to attack something if it closes. He'll hold position.
Ama puts a Wall of Silver from floor to ceiling
The man had a contingency spell go off with what appeared to be some sort of teleport spell..
The Hadj will use his 2nd prepared Summon Nature's Ally VI, and start conjuring, to bring forth some elementals next round...
Findlay will step to where he can glimpse the foe...
then he'll use a 3rd-level spell slot to cast Haste on the party
You know it's a Sepid Div, although a beefy example.. You may ask 4 questions for info on normal Sepid Divs..
1. immunities
2. resistances
3. special attacks
4. special defenses
Immune Fire and Poison
Resist Acid, Elec
Special Attacks - Rain of Debre, big aoe ability
Special Defenses - SR and can deflect ray attacks
Just waiting on Hadjii/Find
Hadjii is conjuring -- will finish next round...
Findlay cast Haste this round -- but I reckon he'll also use Dimensional Slide as part of his movement, zipping back 30' down the corridor we just left!
The Div casts a spell and green ray streaks towards Amarantha.
hit, need a Fort save DC 24.
lol 8 1's..
Then as a swift action it flings 3 rays of acid at Can..
one miss
acid damage.
Yall recognize the spells as Disintegrate and Scorching Ray modified to acid damage.

Amarantha is up, as well as Hemket.
Hemket will move over and take a single shot at the Div.
Amarantha manages to overcome the Div's spell resistance this time attempting to send him back to his plane..
but he sheds the spell and remains.
Hemket fires an arrow connecting..
Div -22
The unknowns continue to do unknown things..
Rest of the group is up.
Canaan will continue to hold position to protect the archer. So he's holding his action.
(119/164) HP.
Findlay will move up 25', then use Dimensional Slide to get to where he can see into the back...
then he'll cast <Greater Dispel Magic>, using the area effect style -- hoping to dispel the highest level spell on three targets in a 20' radius back there...
----------------------
----------------------
Hadjii finishes his conjuring, and large air elementals appear out of nowhere!
then he'll use a charge from his wand of Cure Moderate Wounds, and Fly-by Attack feat, to restore hit points on Canaan as he flies forward-then-back -- 20' forward (), then 40' back into the corridor. ()
_____________________________________________
as Findlay's Dispel Magic fades, Hadjii's elementals race forward, and do fly-by attacks on the div -- zipping up to the ceiling after their swing...
they are hovering just high enough to get be out of the way of Hemket's arrows, but low enough to get AoOs if any baddies move forward! (they have 10' reach)
the elementals have AC 23, DR5/epic, 76 hit points each...
oh, I forgot that Findlay gets Eldritch Breach on the 3 SR checks:
also, spell sez "Area Dispel: When greater dispel magic is used in this way, the spell affects everything within a 20-foot-radius burst. Roll dispel check and apply that check to each creature in the area, as if targeted by dispel magic. For each object within the area that is the target of one or more spells, apply the dispel check as with creatures. Magic items are not affected by an area dispel.
so I didn't need all those other rolls for Dispel -- a 35 should get the highest level spell on everything in the radius!
No invisible people become visible in the back and you can't tell if you dispelled anything from the Div, he looks the same.
The elementals all miss..
The Div makes a tactical move with the pillars, trying to keep Hemket off of a full attack.. As a swift action he fires 3 acid rays at Findlay.
all hit
He then summons a whirlwind of dust and debris that fills most of the room.
Findlay and all of the elemental's need to make a DC 27 reflex save to take 1/2 of.
Elemental's DR will apply..
Top of the round.
Hemket and Amarantha are up.
as the horrific rays of acid zap-age leave the div's fingertips, Mr McDougal burns a Mythic Point to activate <Mirror Dodge> -- poofing to a position out-of-view from the fiend, while the illusory duplicate left behind convincingly disintegrates from the blasts!
Hemket moves up behind the pillar and hides.
Hadjii notices the humna that disappeared before teleport in behind him. He is accompanied by a pair of barbed devils..
Hadjii is indeed invisible.
Not seeing Hadjii both devils drop an Order's Wrath on the rest of the group. Everyone bt Cannon needs to make a pair of Will saves DC 20.
save for 1/2 for each, if you fail either you are dazed for a round.
The human fires off a Chain Lightning, targeting Can as the primary(dc 22 reflex), and it splits off hitting Findlay, Amarantha, and Hemket(dc 20 reflex for yall).
He then moves 5' to the south.
It is lightning damage. Not sure how much if any protection you have left. I believe you do have resist 30 up though.
Amarantha
Hemket
Human Baddie

Rest of Group
Div
Can, Amarantha, and Findlay are up.
12 damage
10 damage
evasion no damage
evasion, no damage
Canaan moves up to the devils (double move).
Ama will wait till the end of the rd.
Mythic Surge to succeed on that will save!
Findlay takes 22 points of damage...
after the resist stops 30, Findaly's 38 remaining lightning protection drops to 34 points...
he will step into view of the div, and burn another Mythic Point to cast <Ki Shout> at the big fiend -- and he'll use a point from his Arcane Reservoir to bump the DC of the Fort save by 2 (so DC is 29):
for points of SONIC damage, save for half
(and on the off chance it actually fails the saving throw, it is stunned)
(if it succeeds on the saving throw, Findlay is hoping he can Counterspell the div's next action...)
on Hadjii's turn, the huge, invisible air elemental will race east along the ceiling, pausing briefly (via FlyBy Attack) to cast Finger of Death (from the Mask of the Forgotten Pharoah, DC is just 22) at the human -- then racing south out of view.
"Neener-neener-neener!"
then he'll burn a Mythic Point to take an extra Standard Action, and drink his last potion of Invisibility!
_________________________________
meanwhile, back at the div -- hopefully stunned by Findlay's Ki Shout -- the first of Hadjii's air elementals flies around to set up flanking, and takes a slam attack:
then all the remaining 5 take a 5' step downward, and take full attacks -- with flanking:
pass, takes 27
saves but takes
The elementals try their best but are unable to do nothing but annoy the Div. One manages a small blow however.
Div -56
Human -34

D2
Div's turn. He moves up, provoking from the elemental's and unleashes a trio of quickened acid rays at Amarantha before unleashing another sandstorm, hitting Find, Hemket, and Amarantha.
all hit Amarantha
evil, bludgeoning damage for DR purposes.
DC is 27 reflec for half.
