Al starts Inspiring the Courage of Razmir and cast Haste on the party !
-Posted with Wayfinder
Empowered by Algonso's words and spell, Akaash takes a step forward and pops out of invisibility to throws two bombs at the northernmost assistant.
"Hey, stop that!"
Roger and Roo hastefully engage an alchemist.
Kafir swings at the half-elf, but misses!
Algonso hastens and inspires his companions!
Akaash tosses two bombs, hitting the northern apprentice, but the man still stands, barely.
Roger! and Roo move up to the southern alchemist, pummeling the man!
[ooc]DC 15 Ref vs splash
Taergan steps back and drinks an extract, his movements quickening, while the two apprentices lob bombs at Roger! and Akaash!
NA-36
SA-32
Glad that they decided to leave him alone for a moment, Kafir continues to focus his ire on Taergan!
Severely burnt by the bomb, Akaash shoots his crossbow at the wounded assistant, and reloads.
Roger and Roo step up and keep fighting the mean alchemist.
Kafir steps up and pummels the half-elf to unconsciousness!
Akaash puts another bolt in an apprentice, dropping him!
Roger! and Roo combine efforts to drop the remaining apprentice!
On the appentices, you find they each carry a wand of cure light wounds (25 charges), mwk studded leather, mwk morningstar, and assisting gloves.
On Taegarn you find he carries +1 chain shirt, +1 dagger, headband of vast intelligence +2, and Large scorpion venom (2).
Searching the room, you find Flinn’s lab holds several finished potions, including two potions of barkskin, two potions of cure moderate wounds, one potion of cure critical wounds, one potion of detonate, and one potion of thorn body. In addition, one sample of lesser age resistance extract remains here.
"Everyone here is mean..." Roger says as Roo lightly kicks the downed alchemist.
"Alchemists are dangerous, I should know that. Ouch... Algonso, would you please use your clerical magic on me, please?"
Once they're ready to move on, Akaash checks that his crossbow is reloaded and ready to fire, and nods to Kafir.
Kafir silently points to the wand in Akaash's possession.
He shrugs and helps everyone look around before motioning to the door to the next room.
"And your wounds are healed by the right of the new God of Man." he says as he proselyted as spellcasting.

Searching the room, you find no notes.
Kafir opens to the door to south and sees Igneous Crandel and Branda Tulles are both unconscious in separate iron-barred cells. Another door sits in the north wall, to the east. An eight-foot tall creation of of glass bottles and sheepskin hoses built into a wood and iron frame stands upright, guarding the room. One arm is packed with glass bottles filled with different-colored liquids, and is built to fire those at intruders! The creature lurches to life as Kafir enters!
Roger and Roo engage the construct that is sure to be mean.
Akaash glimpses at the creature for a moment, trying to recall what this is.
Once his curiosity is satisfied, he shoots a crossbow bolt, then reloads.
Akaash knows that this type of construct, an alchemical golem, is resistant to all but adamantine or bludgeoning damage, as well as being immune to magic and having the normal construct traits.
Roger! and Roo dart forward and Roger! lands a punch on the construct!
Akaash fires his crossbow, put a bolt in the creature, though the damage in negated somewhat.
The golem smashes its "fists" into Roger!, breaking alchemical bottles on the halfling as it connects!
Hearing the golem's weaknesses, Kafir looks down at the several blades on his belt, noticing for the first time that they are all blades and none of them clubs or morningstars. He moves in nonetheless and tries to swing harder to make up for his non-adamantine blade.
Algonzo begins a sermon on Razmir overcoming the twenty-second step, a feat of overcoming a giant thrice his size. He also moves to stand on the bed (despite his mother's warnings.)

Roger and Roo keep boxing despite the halfling getting battered and beaten.
Akaash shoots another bolt despite being aware of its suboptimal efficiency.
Kafir slashes at the golem, but misses!
Algonso begins inspiring his companions and stands on the bed!
Roger! and Roo continue to attack the golem, Roger! landing a single punch!
Akaash fires another bolt, striking the golem!
The golem continues to pummel Roger! and strikes Kafir as well. Its strike smashes a flask with foul smelling contents on Roger!, while smashing a flask of fire on Kafir.
Kafir groans as the hit leaves a searing cut in his side. He swings again, staying silent.
"Ow, quit hitting me."
Kafir swings, but misses, again!
Roger! misses as well, but Roo manages to land a solid kick!
Algonzo has no time to jump on the bed! Halfling friends are getting punched!

Akaash's deadly bolts continue to rain upon the golem.
Algonso heals Roger!
Akaash fires a bolt, but it bounces of the golem's hard exterior shell!
The golem continues to swing its flask holding pseudofists! It lands one on Roger!, burning the halfling with acid!
Kafir lifts his shield just in time to block the blow and swings back at the golem!
Roger dodges the blow and throws a pair of his own.
Another bolt flies at the golem!
Kafir misses, again, while Algonso continues to staunch the blood flow!
Roger! and Roo have trouble damaging the golem, as well!
Akaash fires a bolt, piercing the hard, metal exterior!
The golem continues to attack, punching Kafir!
Kafir continues to take a beating and although he hasn't been terribly successful, he continues to hack away!
Roger and Roo keep fighting.
Another bolt flies towards the construct.
Kafir, Roger!, and Roo all miss, again!
Akaash lands another crossbow bolt!
Algonso does something!
The golem's damage begins to affect it's strikes as it misses both Roger! and Kafir!
Maybe one of these times....
"Just pretend it's a Sarenite evangelist trying to heal the sick back home!" Al suggests.
CMW + CLWs, this and last round's action

Kafir manages to land a blow!
Algonso keeps a healin'!
Roger! lands a single blow against the golem!
Akaash fires a bolt, hitting the golem!
The construct begins to stagger as the fluid begins running out of the glass enclosure containing the brain. Moments later it collapses to the ground!
Kafir puts his blade away and slumps down to the floor, motioning to the alchemist that he needs healing.
After catching his breath, Kafir stands and stoically readies his shield, indicating that he wants to move on.
Akaash asks to be healed as well, then offers Roger! an extract of shield as the party is about to move forward.
Roger takes it tucking it into Roo's pouch.
Leaving the unconscious forms of Igneous Crandel and Branda Tulles locked in their cells, the party moves to the next door. Opening the door you see this dark den is the stuff of nightmares. Foul-smelling incense wafts skull-shaped puffs of smoke into the air. The room’s floor is marked with sinister sigils. A pile of furs and flayed skin acts as a makeshift bed for the room’s lone occupant, who sits demurely with her legs folded under a sheer, white gown marked with unsettling stains. The fiend resembles a classically beautiful woman in form, but her hands and feet are withered and charred, ending in black, skeletal claws. Elegant white scars cover her blue skin, and her grotesquely beautiful face is framed with blackened ram horns. A red eye glares above her brow. A menacing snake slithers out from behind her gown—a hungry, fanged tail. "I wondered when you would finally make it to see me...." She hisses.
"Foul demon! By the right of Razmir, we shall prevent your terror!" Al preaches. +2 to-hit & damage as a move.
Just barely in range, he'll also Secretly-Not-Divinely cast Confusion (Lesser) on her! If you need the hoops to jump through to ID him as an arcane caster who cast this particular enchantment spell, lemme know. If they target divine casters specifically, then I'll be sure to put in a good word for Roger with Razmir's afterlife warden, do ho ho.

Anobaith, the daemon, smiles thinly at Algonso. "Silly man, you spells are to weak to have an effect on me." She stands and point a finger at Roger!. "Behold the power of Abaddon!"
A black ray leaps from her finger and strikes Roger! He suddenly feels weaker!
Kafir jabs his finger at the woman and then draws his finger across his throat. Finger on throat means death.
He then crosses the room and pulls out his khopesh, aiming a blow at her head!
Anáil seeks a clear line of fire, and tosses a bomb at the creature!
