"May the Dawnflower guides your blades," Muzhaa'f intones, the tattoo on his palm glowing a bright white. He advances to stand beside Jillia, shield raised and ready.

Kaylee will start cheering on her allies. "Monkey men? We don't fright! Pathfinders go, FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!"

GM point of information: the +1 on attack rolls/saves vs. fear from bless and from inspire courage do not stack, so the party should not count each separately. Other bonuses are fine to calculate.
The chauru-ka both fling rocks at Jillia!

The bonuses to attack and damage from Inspire Courage are competence bonuses. The bonus from Bless is a Morale Bonus so these stack...Double move and activate sacred weapon as swift action.
Oloch stomps forwards bidding the God in Iron to bless his steel.

"You are not welcome in this place!" Muzhaa'f cries. He steps aside and an angelic figure made wholly of fire erupts from his outstretched palm, covering the baboons in flame.

Jillia's blade whistles past Orange's head, and her movement provokes from Purple, who lunges at her!

"Hey! Quit being mean to my friends!"
Kaylee moves forward while continuing to cheer her allies on, and also blows a kiss at one of the monkey-men, attempting to charm him with her feminine wiles, despite being a different species.
The closer monkey man gets a DC 17 Will save against unnatural lust, and it likely gets a +4 on its save for not normally finding a human female (however attractive she might be) attractive. If it fails, it must move toward Kaylee on its next turn (provoking AOOs along the way) and try to kiss and caress her.
Nemis moves to the other side of the trees and eyes a rock in the dig area. By his will alone he sets his mind in motion and hurls the rock at the red charau-ka

"I'll keep setting them up, you keep knocking them down," Jillia calls to Oloch, as she continues her whirlwind sprint across the battlefield, tumbling behind the last enemy.
Five-star Hound of Tindalos. Er, GM. Whatever. | RoW Encounter Map |
Jillia's lightning-quick movement around the chauru-ka is impressive, though not as impressive as the blade she drives through its skull! The chauru-ka crumples to the ground!
Out of combat!
Happ sticks his head out from his hiding place. Are they gone?
The terrified archaeologist restates his intent to depart in the morning. He fetches a satchel from Juliet's tent, asking you to bring it to her — if she's still alive — and assuring you she won't mind if you make use of the contents. Inside are an unfinished report to the Pathfinder Society and a lens of detection.

I'm back!
Ooh, like, this note looks like it's from a Pathfinder! We should TOTALLY figure out what it's about! The light... that must be what that nice guy was, like, talking about, right? The light that shows up when, like, bad stuff is around? We should probably go investigate. That's what Pathfinders do!"
Five-star Hound of Tindalos. Er, GM. Whatever. | RoW Encounter Map |
Happ informs you that the light shines northeast of Azlant Ridge, visible at night. Since they are leaving in the morning, he suggests the party do the same so they can see the light (and protect the archaeologists as well).

The night passes in relative quiet, and at dawn the party sets out, bidding farewell to Happ and his group as they set off in the other direction.
Tracking the Azlanti monolith through the Terwa Uplands will require a trio of successful Kn (geography) or Survival checks. You will get a bonus from the unfinished missive to the Society; one person should take the lead and others can assist.

Post Battle
As the last Chauru-ka falls, Jillia thrusts her sword skyward in a salute to her goddess (and to victory in general). A round of high-fives will be offered after adrenaline wears off.
Do we get a chance to rest/heal beforehand? If not, I've got a couple of potions to cross off.

@ Jillia: yes, and I'll use some spells to heal you before we rest for the night. 7d8 + 8d6 + 10 + 4 healing should be enough. GM, let me know if you need me to roll.
Muzhaa'f studies the lens by the camp's firelight to better understand its properties. In the morning, he asks Sarenrae for guidance in the journey.
I'll prepare deadeye's lore for the morning. I'll use a pearl of power to recharge it if necessary.
Graced with the aid of the Dawnflower, the lens of detection, and his wayfinder, the Qadiran leads the way through the Terwa Uplands.
"This circular prism lets its user detect minute details, granting a +5 competence bonus on Perception checks. It also aids in tracking, adding a +5 competence bonus on Survival checks when tracking. The lens is about 6 inches in diameter and set in a frame with a handle."

Muzhaa'f easily finds the path left by the Azlanti monolith (if not the semi-obscure film reference) and soon leads the party through the Terwa Uplands to a high hill choked with tough grasses, atop which stands an enormous vine-covered ruin of granite blocks. The upper levels appear collapsed, exposing a balcony. On this balcony a shining ivory sphere is plainly visible. A narrow path between the tumbled blocks winds up the hill toward the ruin. Ringing from deep within the structure can be heard a steady pounding, as of metal on stone.

Inira climbs up and has a look-see. Fortunately for him, his eyes are sharp and he is not surprised; unfortunately for him, he is alone when the attack comes.
A snake slithers over the rocks and attacks!
bite vs. flat-footed AC:1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 2 + 1 = 13 dmg:1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3min of 1
Inira:
Inira also sees something else — though only just — behind the boulder. It is also serpentine, but it seems impossibly large. One might even say...Huge. (Not on the map since currently only Inira is aware of it.)

No time to go around.
Jillia takes a few quick steps and launches herself at the cliff to attempt some combination of jumping and climbing to scale it.
@GM: I'm not sure how tall it is, so assume I do some sort of double move, with the attempt to get as close to Inira as I can.Feel free to place my token appropriately.

Inira shoots the viper as Oloch moves up the ridge!
Just then, an impossibly large, terrifying amalgam of multiple snake-like heads which rise from a sleek, serpentine body emerges over the boulder!
DC 14 Kn (arcana):
This is a hydra, a magical beast. Hail HYDRA!
DC 19 Kn (arcana):
Hydras have the pounce monster ability.
DC 24 Kn (arcana):
Hydras have fast healing and can only be killed by severing all its heads or slaying its body. Any attack that is not an attempt to sever a head affects the body, including area attacks or attacks that cause piercing or bludgeoning damage. To sever a head, an opponent must make a sunder attempt with a slashing weapon targeting a head. A head is considered a separate weapon. To sever a head, an opponent must inflict enough damage to reduce the head's hit points to 0 or less. When a hydra's head is destroyed, two heads regrow in 1d4 rounds. To prevent new heads from growing, at least 5 points of acid or cold damage must be dealt to the stump (a touch attack to hit) before they appear. Acid or fire damage from area attacks can affect stumps and the body simultaneously. A hydra doesn't die from losing its heads until all are cut off and the stumps seared by acid or fire.

Climb:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Jillia crests the hill just as Inira gets pummeled.
I'm too slow.
If I have a Standard Action remaining:
Seeing the brutal attack and the relative distance between her and the rest of the party, Jillia tries to remember everything she learned about first aid as an initiate.
I'm using 'Diverse Training,' the 1-star boon on the Student of Swords GM reward sheet, which allows me to make an untrained skill check with a bonus of 3 plus my GM stars once per scenario.
Heal to Stabilize Inira:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Swift Action
"You've messed with the wrong group," Jillia shouts, challenging the snake amalgam.
