DMU, Juliet will use her charmed life for any upcoming saves.
Tyenar, nice work on that ranged trip, but pretty sure that's a standard-equivalent action so it takes 2 actions. That means you can subsequently step up to her, but that takes you to 3 actions, so your attack can't happen this round.
Revised Action Economy takes some getting used to.

Aaaah, got it! Can I use the attack roll in case she provokes an AoO (or more :D)?
EDIT: I've looked over the rules again, and Tripping is a simple action: the ability just says that I can do a ranged trip attack, so I think it's still a simple action, as it doesn't specify it. But on the other hand, it's still an application of a SLA, and those are always standard actions

By the way, do we try to capture Jezebel, or just kill her? A couple of nonlethal wacks should be enough to avoid killing her with normal attacks.
Your call. I'm just here to kill you keep things moving; the direction you travel is up to you. Bear in mind though that actions - all actions - have consequences.

Lorick should be able to knock her out his turn.

In character*, Juliet's the stab first, stab second, then ask questions type, so unless told otherwise, she's not going to think about letting this wizard live.
*I've brought this up before, but just in case the new players haven't read the discussion thread.
Good news is (from the non-lethal viewpoint), I think you've got a round or two of actions before Juliet's back in the fight.
@DMU - is putting out the fire (reflex save) an action? If so, how many?

Either way Lorick will want to make a special trip to Guard HQ to explain what the heck happened.

I have no qualms killing her. Have we even met her before in-game?
Male Sylph Swashbuckler (Inspired Blade) 1/Investigator (Empiricist) 3
I don't have problems OOC killing her, but I wanted to know what you guys thought?
IC, Tyenar never killed someone, so he's a little on edge about it. The fact that she almost killed him by herself, however, is easing him on the "stab her" train. :P
White Necromancer 4 HP 26/26 | AC 10 (touch 10, flat 10, CMD 14); Saves F+4 R+2 W+5; Perception +8
I mean, she did blow up the guys I was playing bones with. Saves me the trouble of having to get more skeleton pieces and all, but it's still kind of annoying.
... although given that you were losing at the time, at least you're spared having to pay out.
And yes, you've met her before, in-game. *sigh* Nobody reads the flavour text.
EDIT: Although actually, it's possible that Evelyn wasn't there at the time. So I'll let you off.
EDIT II: Also, I'm intrigued/puzzled by your comment on Juliet's combustibility - whom exactly are you insulting there?

I'm simultaneously bullying Juliet AND the wizard. Truly my sassy-ness knows no bounds (nor is it bound by such constraints as "making sense").

I've given some more thought to the fortune teller situation:
Evelyn would be more comfortable if we could ask the fortune teller before hand what she thought of our two new members and, if she gives the go-ahead, then we could all hopefully meet. Is that too much trouble to go through?

Lorick really doesn't want to blamed for all the dead people and so wants to dump her off, living, with Kroft. I mean they are 'Guards' and can arrest her right?
White Necromancer 4 HP 26/26 | AC 10 (touch 10, flat 10, CMD 14); Saves F+4 R+2 W+5; Perception +8
That could work with what I'm shooting for too. We could send Lorick, Tyenar, and Xenia off to meet with Kroft while Juliet and Evelyn make an unannounced trip to our fortune-teller friend.
By all means split the party. Now you've decided on a plan, I'll wrap up the fight. I was just waiting on whether you kill her or not, and it's looking like 'not'
Post incoming.
EDIT: you may want to reflect on the irony present in the phrase "an unannounced visit to the fortune teller." Or not.

Do we have to continue the fight, or you are still preparing the next post, DMU?
The post would be up if Paizo forums hadn't gone down the other evening.
Fight is over.
Male Sylph Swashbuckler (Inspired Blade) 1/Investigator (Empiricist) 3
Hm, do we have a wand of CLW or something similar? Also, DMU, am I treated as having my extracts on my spell list for magic item purposes: in short, do I have to roll UMD to use a CLW wand?

Sorry I was a bit AWOL yesterday. Evelyn I think has a real fancy CLW.
Male Sylph Swashbuckler (Inspired Blade) 1/Investigator (Empiricist) 3
Oh right, now I remember! Wouldn't mind a tap. <.<
And we're going to the fortune teller now, right?
White Necromancer 4 HP 26/26 | AC 10 (touch 10, flat 10, CMD 14); Saves F+4 R+2 W+5; Perception +8
I was going to find an excuse not to do it but the moment has passed.
I'll get to healing when I have a chance to post again.
OK, so is everyone going to the fortune-teller's? Or are some of you planning to do something else?

Xenia went over and picked it up. It was in her last post.

Yup. Xenia got to it first.
I have just been called away with work to the other side of the world (like 8 time zones away). I'll be travelling today and will have intermittent access to internet.
I'll do what I can to keep posting, but apologies for any lag in dealing with things. I'll be there until 12 June or so. Sorry about this.

8 hours from England - where could that put you? Alaska? India? Pakistan? The Maldives?

China? Thailand, Mongolia?

Not 8 hours from England I think. Western Siberia is an option.

I'll be travelling tomorrow to Texas for a job interview that will take me through Tuesday. It is nonstop from when I get off the plane, so please bot Juliet until I can jump back into things Wednesday.
Thank you!
Aaaand, we're back. Sincere apologies for the delay.

Welcome back DM.
Lorick's a pretty blunt guy.
Many, many apologies for the delay; since I got back I've had to struggle with jet lag, overwork and a great deal of human stupidity.
Male Sylph Swashbuckler (Inspired Blade) 1/Investigator (Empiricist) 3
Well, I hope that a 20 with max inspiration die and a +10 modifier can get us something on Zhellara: I think I burnt all of my lucky rolls. :P
Where are we going now? Fast-forwading and going to speak with Kroft?

Not to rain on your parade but... I don't think the card reader's name's been mentioned yet. Also I'd be kinda surprised if DM's version of Lamm has an alligator.
Lorick has some people to look into before we go on to Kroft.

?
Juliet just said her name, and I think she did told you.
The alligator/crocodile, too: I assumed it was still in like the player guide said, mostly from this post where Sia tells Lorick she had to use "the Winch" to feed a poor sod to Lamm's "pet".
PS: Now that I think about it, I couldn't find a post where it clearly says it's an alligator...maybe it could be a giant spider. Feel free to retcon or something else if I'm mistaken: it has been some time since I've read all of the campaign up to this point.
On the other hand I've found the post where Zellara told you her name, so me and juliet weren't mistaken about that.

Yep, Juliet has mentioned Zellara by name. We're not sure what is in the pit, though. I've been barely resisting the urge to refer to Lamm's pit as the Sarlaac Pit...

So... DM, I guess since we're not very far into the game we will be able to take advantage of most of the enhancements of the Anniversary Edition? I've been hearing things about the Grey Maidens and a fairly commonly disliked trip outside of Korvosa that's been turfed. Thankfully all spoiler free.

We can move on to Kroft next if people want. I think all the PCs trust each other enough now? (yay!).
Lorick has a stop to make though. The city is much more settled now than before right?

I want to do some mojo on the cards at some point but, yeah, I'm ready to go.
