Amira has Overland Flight and Travel Domain Speed Bonus, but there is NO way that she's going ahead. This Battle Aspegerilililimumum only has the word "Battle" in it for show. Placement is fine for me. Given an oppotunity, Amira would use Dimensional Steps to deliver Erin unto flanks, if possible and we're kind of just wrapping around movements. But first...
Amira casts dispel Magic at the Slow affecting Erin, if it's more than a round. Else, the double-move to keep in not-front-row is a-OK.

I still have fly up, will be double moving around the southern corridor, as that is the way everyone seems to be going.
Erin flies out to rejoin the fight.
Amira, seeing nobody hurt, decides that maybe Abadar will bless her with a chance of a lifetime. She flies up and casts Pilfering Hand Abadar's Sanctioned Reposession at Krune and his awesome-looking spear!
Combat Maneuver using CL and Wis:1d20 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 3 = 32
The party moves ever closer to Krune, while Marduk gives Galio a touch of rage! Amira tries to pilfer Krune's awesome spear, but he grins wickedly and holds on to it!
Galio, now enraged, fires an arrow at a hellhound. The flies true, punching into the beasts side!
Krune flies backward and casts a spell. Suddenly, everyone in the chamber feels the moisture begin to evaporate from their bodies!
Damage:15d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 2, 4, 4, 3, 5, 6, 1, 3, 3, 6, 6, 2, 4) = 58Fort Save DC 27 for half
Spellcraft DC 23:
Horrid Wilting
BD 1:1d20 ⇒ 8 BD 2:1d20 ⇒ 4
HH 1:1d20 ⇒ 4 HH 2:1d20 ⇒ 8
Krune's summoned minons are no match for the spell and all four disappear!
And Galio is struck down from the spell as it leaves him a tiny dried up husk. "You will pay for that." Daxter says showing the first sign of emotion ever. The spell rocks both the Chelish caster and his elemental in kind.
Auran:
"Make him feel the full force of a hurricane."
The elemental turns into a whirlwind and rushes over to Krune. 2 Reflex saves DC21. One versus the damage and one versus being vacuumed up.
Daxter will move forward and cast another False Life on himself.

Fort 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 Thank you Greater Heroism Waiting to see positioning of Krune before next action. I also cannot currently see the map, so if someone could let me know if 15ft would get me a flank it would be appreciated.
Marduk howls in pain as Krune's spell drains the fluid from his brawny form. The Orc retrieves another rod and focuses on the Runelord, preparing to interrupt his next spell.
Bah, I was hoping some of them runes were tied to deflection and dodge. I honestly don't even remember which ones we broke at this point to be honest.
Heh. No, you are quite right on your supposition, it's just that my math was really...really bad this morning. Glad you said something. Though, on the other hand, you may not be.
Before she falls to the ground, Amira re-exerts her will and draws the spear to her. As she loses consciousness, she is surprised to feel the spear moving, as if on its own intelligent volition!
Daxter resists some of the spell, but his familiar does not. He moves up and casts a spell!
Marduk takes the full brunt of the wilting and readies a spell against Krune!
Erin, you are currently 35' feet south (and one square east) of Krune's current location.
Daxter shakes his head as Amira drops to the ground. "We're better than this..." He platonically searches the Abadaran for something to heal her with. He finds a wand with runes he recognizes. I'll use your wand of infernal healing next turn. I hope he doesn't have another Horrid Wilting.

"I suggest you prepare yourself for a more permanent rest this time. You will not be coming back again." Erin says to the Runelord with a glare, as she finally gets close enough to dish out some hurt.
Attack (Main 1)1d20 + 27 ⇒ (13) + 27 = 40 (Flank) Damage (Main 1) 1d6 + 10 + 5d6 ⇒ (4) + 10 + (2, 4, 4, 5, 3) = 32 (Flank)
Funny thing is that since I've prepped this before, I knew what it was ooc. Just wanted to see if Mr. Sloth could cast without what is probably his bonded item (the answer is an empatic "yes and go ahead and fail this fort save.")
19 or 20?:1d20 - 9 ⇒ (19) - 9 = 10
Amira... stabilizes. Wow. That's good, since -10, is death and IH is a 1-round cast.
Erin and the elemental assault Krune, Erin stabbing the runelord a myriad of times.
The runelord falls to the ground in a heap, a rune-carved rod falling out of his hand. His body gives an involuntary twitch, causing Marduk to incinerate the body, turning it to ash.
Daxter will collect the rune-rod and the body of his fallen familiar. If you squint, you may see a hint of emotion on his face as he puts the outsider corpse in his pack.
Recovering Krune's rune-rod and spear, that harangues the holder, pointing out their foibles and critiquing their rash action as carelessly spontaneous, the party heals Amira and Dax gathers Galio's corpse.
As Krune died, the stone sarcophagus, his soul gem, and any remaining rune foci in the outer hall rapidly crumble. The sanctum’s blue-green light fades and the strange vapor dissipates, leaving the sanctum dark but for the party's light sources.
The party is able to depart the chamber by grabbing hold on their inscribed crystals, using them to operate the portal and return to Heidmarch Manor.
In defeating Krune, your party has stopped one of the greatest foes ever to threaten Varisia from returning to power. What’s more, the Pathfinder Society has slain Lissala’s high priest, arresting the forgotten goddess’s otherwise likely return. The Pathfinder Society spends a considerable time congratulating and debriefing the everyone, and the masked member of your earlier meeting wastes no time in taking the runelord’s two artifacts and teleporting away—presumably taking them to the Grand Lodge in Absalom.
In the weeks that follow, word spreads around Varisia that the cult of Lissala had risen, that one of the runelords had nearly awakened, and that heroes—Pathfinders, more often than not—had slain him.....
Daxter will have a small funeral for his familiar. Burying a few gold coins with the surprisingly trustworthy imp before the Chelish man went into retirement.
Amira takes no particular joy in any glory of Runelord-slaying (exceptionally so since she was unconscious for a majority of the damage.) She offers to go partway on reviving their only casualty, but otherwise returns to merely tending to her office in the Bank of Absalom.
Toshi, however, rides his year of accolades and is accepted into the Society (if only on a provisionary basis.)
