Table GMs – The Tapestry Room [Area E3] is now CODE YELLOW

Heccan raises a concerned brow when he finds the passage. He tries to hide a startled jump when Graz makes contact but is unable. The crafty sorcerer smiles and nods to Graz with a sheepish grin. Upon seeing the chamber, his eyes go wide. Heccan takes in the opulance of the room, and his look reveals a repressed longing. He shakes his head and tries to re-focus on the task at hand.

"Be cautious, friends. We have already learned the Apsis swine are able to veil their presence. Though I would normally counsel restraint and caution, I currently would prefer Graz claw first and question later should anyone find anything amiss. That said, I would be very interested in questioning one of these villains if given the chance."

Heccan carefully steps into the room, staying along the wall. As he does so, he closes his eyes and allows his sinister nature to bubble to the surface. Gritting his teeth, almost as if pained, he opens his eyes and examines the room. The Chelaxian's features seem sharper and less affable than his normal demeanor and his eyes seem tinged with red.

Heccan will move to location on map and cast Detect Magic to see if he can pick out any magical auras in the area.

Herodotus nods at Heccan's words as he sides up to the sorcerer. Scanning the room for threats, he asks in a distracted tone of voice: "Noble Heccan, something seems to cause you discomfort. Is there something in this room you recognize as a danger? Or perhaps ... bad memories?"

He peers into the room, squinting and in a clearer tone of voice adds "Something isn't right. Why aren't there Aspis bodies and a triggered trap?"

"Uh, because this is a setup and we're about to be ambushed? Only thing that could make it worse is if we were ambushed by a pair of those synthesist summoners. With snake heads all over. Uuuurgh..."

Perception check!!!: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Heccan turns as Herodotus speaks to him. He offers a smile and answers the paladin in an uncharacteristically straightforward manner. "Hm? Oh no Herodotus, I was just admiring the craftsmanship and architectural elegance of the chamber. It...reminds me of another time, another life. Please, do not allow my digression to distract.." As Heccan speaks he hears Herodotus' sword issue its warning. "I believe your companion has the right of it, good sir Herodotus. We should be vigilant. I am searching the room for any arcane signs of mischief, I shall report my findings shortly."

The Chelaxion returns to scanning the room for magical auras.

The group slowly enters the room as Heccan begins to scan for magical auras. Near where he currently is Heccan does not pick up an aura in general but rather a disturbance in magic itself. When the wards protecting the Sky Key were breached, the dimensional forces surrounding the artifact caused space in this room to bend in an uncomfortable way. The Sky Key’s influence also causes brief scenes to flash into view, like a hazy mirage near the pedestal as Jory creeps closer.

A ghostly image of a Pathfinder appears in the center of the room, where his likeness eerily begins to slide through the display case. His voice echoes as he speaks to an unseen party. “Oh no, they’ve stolen the Sky Key. It also appears they disrupted the auxiliary stabilizer, too.” He pauses before continuing. “Do you feel that? I feel kind of sick all of a sudden. I hope they didn’t try to disassemble it—or worse, bring it too close to the tapestry. Wasn’t that why Zey kept them so far—” The figure’s words go unfinished as he begins to scream and dissolve, fading from view in a matter of seconds.

As the image fades a dimensional tremor begins to wane as a pair of creatures are twisted into existence. A look of feral surprise and aggression on their twisted and malevolent visages. These flame red humanoids appear to be a strange mix of insect and reptile, with four arms and twitching, fanged mandibles.

Red Monster Will save: 1d20 + 6 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 5 = 28
Green Monster Will save: 1d20 + 6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 5 = 15

Perception vs Jory DC 20: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

The Xills scamper in and grabs at Jory with one of their free arms.

Green Claw vs Jory FF AC 18: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Red Claw vs Jory FF AC 18 +Flanking: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 2 = 29
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 + Grab
Grab vs CMD 29: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19

The Xills claws at Jory, scraping past his magical defenses into his soft flesh as it gets a good hold onto the dwarf, but yet still unable to grapple him.

Round 1
--------------------------------
Xills (Green-sickened 4/4)
--------------------------------
Graz (54/55)
Sabrina
Herodotus
Jory (55/59)
Heccan

Will: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
Jory looks at the monstrosities facing him and raises a single finger and speaks deliberately:"A little help--and I'm shooting anyone trying to negotiate with them."

Delay to see what others do. Do not plan to be flanked for eight attacks, probably ten if they bite. 56/59 hp and one ki left.

Herodotus gasps as the scene unfolds before knocking an arrow into his bow. "Creatures! That are four armed! I have no idea what they might be!" he shouts as he lets loose, while the blade pipes up: "Heeeeyyy four armed freaks! How's it going? So uhm ... how do you feel about say ... laying down your ... claws ... and just talking this one out? I'm sure that's all a big misunderstanding."

Longbow attack #1, Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim vs Green: 1d20 + 11 - 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 2 - 2 + 1 = 11
Longbow attack #1 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 4 = 10
Longbow attack #2, Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim vs Green: 1d20 + 11 - 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 2 - 2 + 1 = 24
Longbow attack #2 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 4 = 13
Longbow attack #3, Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim vs Green: 1d20 + 6 - 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 2 - 2 + 1 = 5
Longbow attack #3 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 4 = 15

He then shifts behind Heccan, seemingly to get closer to the action while staying on the ramp.

Do we have high ground advantage here? If so, my attacks are one higher. Also, all of my shots are with cold iron arrows; I do not have any regular arrows anymore (predates this scenario, but I diggress)

Graz watches as the shimmering magical images appear and disappear. Still scratching his head what those things mean, he growl fiercely as the insectile outsiders appear and attack poor Jory.

Charging into the wavy field around the Sky Key, Graz comes to the aid of this dwarven teammate, ignoring the nauseating effect as he comes.

The burly fighter slips in behind the southernmost enemy, ready to strike with his iron chain.

Graz Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Takes a double move to slide into flanking position, especially taking the longer route to not provoke AoO.

kn(planes): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27

"So THOSE are Xill, I've never really seen one before. It must be my lucky day, and their UNLUCKY day!"

We came out on the lower floor, correct?

Jory uses his last bit of concentration for defense, and moves next to the barbarian. Although next to one creature (red) he fires at the other creature (green) his training avoiding any retaliation.

Jory actually had aimed his arrows at the paladin before turning and firing at the abomination.

Last ki +4 AC for 28AC -- I guess Jory's threat was ignored.

arrow 1 thistle vs green: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 281d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 171d6 ⇒ 1
arrow 2 vs green: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 171d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
arrow 3 vs green: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 291d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
arrow 3 confirm? vs green: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 222d8 + 22 ⇒ (7, 7) + 22 = 36

Jory hits, his last arrow burying itself deeply in the abomination.

Do we have high ground advantage here? If so, my attacks are one higher. Also, all of my shots are with cold iron arrows; I do not have any regular arrows anymore (predates this scenario, but I diggress)

Only if you took the time to scout the outer perimeter of the room to go to the stairs on the far side and back towards the door. Otherwise you are underneath the little balcony.

Graz shifts into a flanking position with Jory's unarmed strikes. Sabrina attempts to bring misfortune up the confused and angry outsider.

Will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Turning it's head around to the witch and begins to laugh in a shrill and unnerving voice.

Recalling some long lost information on these outsiders. Sabrina knows that their bites can cause paralysis. usually once a creature is found helpless the Xill will implant and lay eggs within the host, which hatch in 24 hours. The young then chew their way out of the host. Sabrina also recalls that Xill are very resistant to magic effects.

Herodotus fires a quick round of arrows at the red Xill, though only one of his arrows is actually able to make it's mark.

Jory fires three arrows at point blank range at the green xill. Three of his arrows pierce the creatures thick flesh, causing it to scream in intense pain as one of the arrows pierces it's abdomen. The creature looks very near to falling to the ground at any moment.

Round 1
--------------------------------
Xills (Green -65 sickened 4/4; Bleed 1 rnd) (Red -13)

Graz (54/55)
Sabrina
Herodotus
Jory (55/59)
Heccan

I think one of the paladin's arrow hit too.

Yes, I had his hitting red for some reason. Thanks, for catching. Green is dead as he only had two HP left after Jory's arrows.

Round 1
--------------------------------
Xill

Graz (54/55)
Sabrina
Herodotus
Jory (55/59)
Heccan

Heccan stands near Herodotus and calls forth his dwindling reserves of power. He holds his hands palms out toward the attacking creature sending three orbs of arcane force at the foe.

Heccan will take a standard action to case magic missile and target the remaining Xill.

MM: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4, 2) + 3 = 13
Know Planes: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Heccan Spell resistance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Heccan's missiles slam into the Xill as it gives a surprised look that he magic even affected him.

The Xill unleashes it's full pent up fury into Jory.

Shortsword vs Jory AC 24: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

Shortsword vs Jory AC 24: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Shortsword vs Jory AC 24: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Claw vs Jory AC 24: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
Damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 + Grab
Grab vs CMD 29: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27

Bite vs Jory AC 24: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

The Xill's arms fly into a fury of blades and claw as Jory mounts what defenses he can muster. Two of the shortswords and the creatures free clawed hands burst past Jory's magical defenses and attempt to grab ahold of the monk, but is unable to clasp a firm grip around his cloak as he bursts free from the outsiders clutches.

Round 2
--------------------------------
Xill (-13)
--------------------------------
Graz (54/55)
Sabrina
Herodotus
Jory (40/59)
Heccan

Herodotus moves along the outer wall with a frown as he lets loose another volley.

Longbow attack #1, Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim, High Ground: 1d20 + 11 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 18
Longbow attack #1 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 4 = 12
Longbow attack #2, Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim, High Ground: 1d20 + 11 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 25
Longbow attack #2 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 4 = 8
Longbow attack #3, Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim, High Ground: 1d20 + 6 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 12
Longbow attack #3 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 4 = 13

A little frustrated her hex failed, Sabrina closes one eye and and opens the other really, really wide and stares down the remaining Xill.

Jory fires, starting with a thistle arrow.
1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 331d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 121d6 ⇒ 3
2: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 171d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
3: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 111d8 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Jory hits and starts the creature bleeding, his two follow up arrows are less accurate, but the creature is hexed.

Table GMs - The Sky Key Chamber [Area E2] is now CODE YELLOW

Angered at the xill attacking his friend, Graz steps up and swings his spiked chain in a mighty arc at the remaining, looking to eviscerate the four-armed bug. Unfortunately, the fighter's anger overcomes his accuracy and the chain smashes into the floor near the xill.

Graz chain, PA, Vital strike: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Heccan watches his fellow agents assault the Xill.

Waiting for other actions to resolve before posting next action.

Graz swings his chain in a large arc at the Xill, but has to pull it back to the side in fear of striking Jory.

Will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Sabrina distracts the Xill causing it to leave itself wide open as Herodotus and Jory fire arrow after arrow at the little evil outsider.

One of Herodotus Arrows is able to clip the creature as well as one of Jory's. Though the Xill was distracted it was still enough to dodge out of the path of the hail of arrows as they whiz past, clattering against the stone wall.

Round 2
--------------------------------
Xill (-36; -2 AC; Bleed 3 rnds)

Graz (54/55)
Sabrina
Herodotus
Jory (40/59)
Heccan

Heccan curses under his breath as his frustration with the extraplanar outsider mounts. Not wanting to squander his remaining power on a fruitless attempt, he draws upon some small power to send a ray of blue steaming energy at the Xill.

Heccan takes a standard action to case Ray of Frost.

Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 3 - 4 = 17 Likely +4 AC due to soft cover from Jory and Graz.

Ray Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Heccan Spell resistance: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Heccan's ray clips the Xill on the back of his shoulder, freezing a small patch of it's hardened skin.

Sabrina's -2 to Ac barely got you a hit :)

The Xill continues it's dance of death as it assaults Jory.

Short Sword vs Jory AC 24: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Short Sword vs Jory AC 24: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Short Sword vs Jory AC 24: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Claw vs Jory AC 24: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

Bite vs Jory AC 24: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
Confirm Crit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 + Paralysis
Paralysis Hours: 1d4 ⇒ 1

@Jory- Need a DC 16 Fort Save or you are Paralyzed for 1 hour

The Xill slashes thin sharp lines across Jory's skin as it suddenly lurches at the dwarf's neck. Not seeing it coming, the Xill tears a large chunk of skin from Jory's neck with it's jagged teeth.

Round 3
--------------------------------
Xill (-38; -2 AC; Bleed 2 rnds)
--------------------------------
Graz (54/55)
Sabrina
Herodotus
Jory (26/59)
Heccan

Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 +1 if spell like

1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 261d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
2: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 161d8 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
3: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 191d8 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

"You are worthy, but totally evil opponent. I put you down now!!"

Jory fires three arrows, taking deadly aim standing next to the creature, trained to attack from close range.

Jory looks at Heccan: "That the best you got. This thing is trying to kill me and you hit him with those teeny ice rays??"

He looks at the paladin: "And I told you not to negotiate with these creatures, and you were jaw jacking while I was fighting. Is Graz the only one fighting with me? Sabrina, you are definitely making this thing easy to shoot--GOOD JOB!!"

Sabrina takes a step towards the Sky Key, but stops short, turns to her backpack mumbling...

"Have to save dwarf...what do you mean don't go near him?...You are such a coward! Oh the Ancestors must be turning in their graves!"

Sabrina cackles (extending the Hex), turns the other side of her face to the Xill, opening her closed eye and shutting the other.

"HA HA HA... DOUBLE CURSES UPON YOU, EVIL INSECT!!!!"

Herodotus begins to speak but he is quickly interrupted by his sword. "Herod, I got this. Hey Stumpy Mc Krakken? Hi, I'm Gamin, a pleasure. Couple things: One Herodotus didn't talk to them, I did. He was firing those other arrows. Two, if you think that was a negotiation, you might want to retake that class with Master Farabellus and the rest of the initiates. Three, don't tell any of us how to do our thing and we wont tell you how to be a Pathfinder Agent. We cool?"

Herodotus finally angrily bellows "Enough Gamin! Let us take the beast down!" as he lets another volley loose.

Longbow attack #1, Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim, High Ground: 1d20 + 11 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 11 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 22
Longbow attack #1 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 4 = 14
Longbow attack #2, Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim, High Ground: 1d20 + 11 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 11 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 16
Longbow attack #2 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 4 = 9
Longbow attack #3, Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim, High Ground: 1d20 + 6 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 12
Longbow attack #3 damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 4 = 15

Oh for the love of Pete, can I roll above a ten for a little while?

Sabrina continues to vex the little four armed beast without it's knowledge. It looks about even more confused as it's limbs seem to be reacting a bit slower and legs act more clumsy tan they should.

DC 19 WIll Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Herodotus and Jory are able to pin a few more arrows into the Xill's chest, dropping it to the gound. It's mass of shortswords scatter with a clatter in various directions.

The vision has revealed the Sky key to be missing. Perhaps the notes found from Aram Zey will help seal the Tapestry so no more creatures are able to get loose and back into this world.

+1 Success for the Sky key Chamber

Herodotus scowls as he retrieves his arrows. "Apologies Jory of Irori." he says curtly, pausing in his search as he gets near the monk. "Gamin often speaks his ... it's mind, with little regards for proper etiquette. As his bearer, I am responsible for his words, and you have my excuses."

Arrow recovery, 6 arrows, over 50% is good: 1d100 ⇒ 761d100 ⇒ 451d100 ⇒ 471d100 ⇒ 561d100 ⇒ 181d100 ⇒ 91

"Let me use this wand of Infernal Healing on Jory, then I can take a look at those notes. He will heal while I study them."

Kn(Planes): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Kn(Arcana): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Jory hands over a curing wand to whover can usee it.
"I can't be tainted by evil healing."

clw: 7d8 + 7 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 7, 1, 3, 8) + 7 = 34

Heccan nods with satisfaction as the Xill is finally defeated. He scans the room and sticks close to Herodotus and cannot help but smirk as the paladin's sword unburdens its thoughts toward Jory. Heccan listens and just smiles as Herodotus apologizes. The sorcerer turns to Jory and leans down, speaking in a hushed tone. "I am glad you are well Master Redcap, and no doubt the heat of battle enriches the blood so to speak. Just be warned that I play no game with the powers I command, though command is perhaps too strong a word. Know this, each time I call forth things not of this realm I pay a price, a terrible price, so I do not do so lightly. Even so, there are limits, but do not trouble yourself. The next time we face a powerful I will, at your urging, be less judicious with what remains at my disposal." Heccan offers the dwarf a wicked grin then rejoins Herodotus.

While the group tends to Jory's wounds Sabrina studies the notes and formulas contained within Arem Zeys stash. After a few moments she feels as if she might be able to close the open portal letting the mass of creature's through in the Tapestry's Chamber.

Taking off at once as they gather their gear, Graz reports the findings of the missing Sky Key as the party once again winds through secret passages and more staircases than Hogwart's Castle until they reach the door leading to the door to the Tapestry's Chamber.

Subtract another 10 minutes from buffs

As you approach the wooden door Heccan hears a sort of chanting on the opposite end. Listening a bit closer it actually sounds like celebratory cheers and laughter, though it is difficult to make out what the muffled voices are celebrating.

"Well Jory, it is your gold so if you insist I will put my wand away." Sabrina says with a disappointed look. If Jory wants a recharge with his Mage Armor stick she will oblige.

Sabrina takes out a Pearl, closes her eyes, and mumbles a prayer on the way there.

Bless becomes re-memorized.

Once at the door Sabrina asks Graz a question:

Mighty Graz, if you wish I can make you even stronger and larger than you are know. The drawback is you will be a little slower and easier to be hit. You know the phrase the bigger they are the harder they fall?

As for the rest of you it might be prudent for me to ask for a blessing from the Ancestors before rushing in.

"Sabrina, you should stick to the blessings and stop this infernal magic. I truly would like to be blessed."

I think Sabrina has mage armor still on, if not, we can use my wand of mage armor for all that want to partake.

Heccan approaches the door and leans his head in to get a better listen, holding a hand upward in a gesture meant to halt the party. He looks gravely at Herodotus. "Do you hear that? Sounds like yet another party I was not invited to, though I suspect we all will be crashing the gala shortly. I know not what villains await us, but we best prepare."

Opening the door Heccan sees a table at the center of this rectangular room is completely contained within a rune-inscribed circle set into the floor. Atop the table lies a Kelishite man’s body, spread-eagled and bloodstained. At the far end of the chamber hangs a ragged tapestry torn down its center. A peaceful wood with trampled undergrowth is visible through the tear, though the tapestry clearly hangs against a solid wall.

Two Lamia prance about the room in absolute delight as they cheer. Aram Zey is dead! At long last, our jailer is dead!

Their celebration is cut short as they turn and notice the group of Pathfinders, ruining their good time.

Heccan would buff himself before opening the door. If allowed, he would cast both cat's grace and shield upon himself.

By the Ancestors! They have killed The Master of Spells! I fear a mere bless will not be enough!

Sabrina start gesturing and praying in Azlanti to the Ancestors.

After taking a 5-foot step closer her Deathwatch should tell her if Zey is actually dead or just unconscious. How high is the ceiling in this room?

Jory pops the closest enemy.
1: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 231d8 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 151d6 ⇒ 1
2: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 251d8 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
3: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 121d8 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
He starts with a thistle arrow.

Heccan would buff himself before opening the door. If allowed, he would cast both cat's grace and shield upon himself.

That is fine. I am just pushing forward. Retcon healing and small buffs you would have done anyways. The only thing I go against is situational buffs that you know you would not have done before entering a room.

After taking a 5-foot step closer her Deathwatch should tell her if Zey is actually dead or just unconscious. How high is the ceiling in this room?

The ceilings are 20 feet high

As Sabrina approaches she magically inspects the body sprawled out on the table before her. From what she can tell Aram Zey is in fact dead.

With a grimness in her voice Sabrina says a quick prayer to the gods to show these Aspis fools retribution and vengeance.

Jory snaps off a few quick arrows at the Lamias. His first two arrows stick right into the red creatures torso, causing it to lurch to the side in pain.

Sabrina was going to cast Bless on the party before everyone went in, it stacks with Prayer so everyone is +2 to hit and Fear Saves.

Just holding pending the lamia's actions.

Herodotus barely finishes a silent prayer to the Inheritor before the secret door is opened. The scene is unbearable to watch; even though Aram Zey was insufferable, it did not make violence against the man justifiable. Gritting his teeth, he does not wait any further; he steps to the side and begins firing as Gamin exclaims "Holy s$@@, Venture Captain Ass is dead!"

Longbow attack #1, Rapid Shot, Deadly Aim, Buffs: 1d20 + 11 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 11 - 2 - 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 11

"That isn't his name Gamin!"

Only one of Herodotus' arrows is able to penetrate the red Lamia's defenses. The arrow clips the Lamia's back end causing a fresh line of blood to drip out onto the floor.

Both of the Lamia's quickly begin to cast. Upon completion several copies spring forth, mimicking their each and every movement. The two Lamia's continue to hide behind the room's many pillars as they laugh.

Red Lamia Mirror Image: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Green Lamia Mirror Image: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Fools! Aram Zey is dead. It is too late. The lamia throws it's head back and howls.

Jory shouts to Graz. "I'll pop the phantoms and you can attack this one."
Jory points to the injured lamia (red).

Round 1

Heccan grimaces as he lays eyes upon the foul beasts. He once again draws upon the power of the pit, causing a small ball of flame to manifest over his right outstretched palm. The Chelaxian hurls the flaming ball at the northern lamia. The ball expands and crashes down with considerable force engulfing the creature in flames.

Heccan takes a standard action to cast fireball and casts it at the red lamia. The room is deep enough where Heccan should be able to strike the lamia only. Also note, Hec's AC with all buffs is now 22.

FIRE!: 6d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 1, 1, 1) = 12 Save DC 17.

Will wait for round 2 action until after lamias post action.

"You shall pay for your crimes, foul creature!"

Enraged, Sabrina rushes into the room using the columns for cover as flames erupt from her hands towards the green lamia.

Fire Damage: 5d4 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 1, 4) = 13
