KULIK puts his bow back into its efficient quiver and draws his +1 cold iron greataxe on the move/fly, getting opposite Noble. Since he cannot yet attack, he activates his judgments as a swift action (sacred destruction and sacred smiting aligned to good) and waits until he can strike next turn.
if all 3 were grappled and injured, Hugo will channel. But if only the dragon is grappled, he instead casts blessings of fervor (+2 AC & +2 attacks for his selection) then casts grace as an immediate and moves next to the dragon.

Blessings of fervor...w00t!
KULIK chooses to use Hugo's blessing to receive a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves, then moves toward the demon on the opposite side of the grappled pseudodragon in an attempt to get flanking. Acrobatics:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24 His Solo Tactics class feature should allow him the use of Precise Strike.
GM's call as to whether KULIK can switch Bane to his greataxe from his bow. I've seen it ruled both ways and will accept either. To-hit below would get an additional +2 and damage would get an addtional 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3.

Since Bane is based on rounds/day, couldn't you just drop it on the bow as a free action and then start it up on the greatsword as a swift? The only conflict is that you couldn't switch Bane to a new weapon and activate a judgement at the same time.

Hmm, you know, it actually reads that way in the PRD. I will have to check my hardcover at home, but I don't recall ever reading that line before. I wonder if that's errata I missed or if it's always been there and I simply never caught it. If it's the latter, mea culpa.

The demon cannot maintain it's hold on either!
Per the Bane, I think you can do it, but not two swift actions, so judgement next round?
Round 3, use blessings of fervor (free), move and attack; no swift action that round. So I should be able to move the Bane in Round 3 as a swift action, yes?

I had Hugo move up next to Nuku last round but could not update the map. Position is corrected now. Also, with the retcon, is anyone grappled atm?
"Good show champions! Take the fight to this blob of vile corruption."
If nobody is grappled, then Hugo will 5' closer and take a couple swings at the beast. Trying to flank with Kulik (not sure if possible with 3D combat, so subtract as needed).
Female Human Wood Wizard 10 | hp 82/82 | Init +8 | Perception +22 | Nuku-Nuku's Perception +15 |
Defenses:
AC 22, touch 13, flat-footed 20. CMD 17. Fort 10. Ref 7 Will 8
Sakura uses another 4 charges on her staff to cast quickened Haste on Noble, Kulik, Hugo, her summon, and Nuku-nuku.
She then casts glitterdust on the demon. Will save DC 21
For those that don't know, Blessings of fervor and haste don't stack additively. Use the +2 to hit and AC from blessing of fervor, and use the speed and extra attack from haste
As the demon casts it's spell, the party sees an opening and attacks. Kulik hits the demon with his axe, while the others miss.
Noble unleashes a barrage of punches on the demon, though only two manage to connect.
Hugo manages to hit the demon once with his weapon! No one is grappled at the moment.
Sakura casts a spell, speeding her companion's movements.
Nuku backs away and disappears!
The azata attacks but, fails to connect!
Glaurung cheers on her companions!
The demon floats five feet down and casts a spell.

Azata Fort vs DC 23:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
The melee companions all see a terrifying visages, but are able to see past the illusion except for the azata, whose face screws up in fear and it's body is ripped to shreds.

I did forget bull's strength. Two moar points of damage!
KULIK chooses to use Hugo's blessing to receive a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves, then moves in to the demon, endeavoring to flank with Hugo. However, if he has to choose, he would rather full attack than move to flank.
AC 31; touch 16; flat-footed 27; CMD 16 (20 vs trip); Fort +4, Ref +6; Will +8
Nuku-nuku readies a grease spell to target an ally's clothing & armor if he is successfully hit by the tentacles (which would raise his CMD by +10 on the grapple check).
Noble punches away at the wispy form of the demon, managing to connect almost everytime!
Hugo follows up an manages to strike the demon twice!
As Hugo makes his last strike, the demons form begins to withe and spin, creating a small whirlwind. The funnel spins faster and faster, condensing into a small ball that at last disappears with a shock wave, blasting and buffeting the party into unconsciousness.
Out of Combat!
The party awakens to finds themselves on the floor of the temple. Kneeling over Brother Dunnamast, Osprey is quiet for a moment, his chest heaving. Next to him, sprawled on the floor is Xersus, staring blankly at the ceiling. Osprey stands and nods at the party. Well done Pathfinders! I did not expect you to vanquish the demon, merely to hold it off while I got the information from the brother here. This will reach the ears of the Decemvirate!
It takes a few hours, but Dunnamast finally reaches a point where he can speak. The brother recounts meeting a pretty lass while out drinking, but very little after that. She seemed particularly curious about his faith, and he jovially invited her to partake in the eternal celebration. After several drinks she became giddy and seductively lured him into the privacy of the storage rooms, where she kissed him and he blacked out. When he awoke, he was the dream realm where the primordial demon lay in waiting—he can’t remember how long he’d been there. He also tells that he remembers something about a strange flagstone underneath the bench in the garden.
Osprey tells the party that the appearance of the primordial demon is proof that Baldimar’s hidden archives exist, and likely hold something of great value—something demons value higher than the risk of assaulting a major temple in Absalom. He instructs you to examine the flagstone mentioned by the brother. He also says that he fears Xersus has suffered psychic scarring and they will return to the Lodge at one to inform the Decemvirate and obtain healing for Xersus.
Before leaving, Xersus says. Be wary, I fear you will up against some powerful demons. Take these as help. He hands the party a small bundle containing; a gem of brightness and five cleric scrolls:
dismissal, magic circle against evil, restoration, atonement, and dispel evil.
The High Priestess offers to let the party rest for the evening at the temple and has the temple clerics heal the party of all their wounds.
Congrats! You weren't really supposed to win this fight, merely hold off the demon for ten rounds. Any consumables you used were not actually spent and remain in your inventory. Also you spend the evening in the temple, so you have all your spell back and an opportunity to swap out any.
SO just let me know when you are ready to head to the flagstone!

Does that include class abilities too? Or just physical consumables?

In this temple of Caiden Caylean I assume they have alchemist's kindness for sale? I'm going to be buying about a dozen. I'd also like to find someone who can sell me some bachelor snuff. . .
After that traumatic experience Glaurung will head straight to the bar and order the strongest drink they have. She offers Kulik and Savage to share a room with her for the night. She'll then move on to Hugo and Sakura and gauge their interest.
If all of the party turn her down, she will find the hunkiest looking guy or the most eccentric looking girl at the bar and find her own place to sleep.

Cool, thanks, GM Tektite.
As is customary for him, KULIK is a little slow on the uptake to quite grasp what Glaurung is saying, though he finally puts two and two together about five minutes after Noble and the gnome vanish upstairs.
