Razmir the man known as the living god is making his move expanding into neighboring nations. It seems nobody can stop him as his power truly seems to be that of a god. A select few know the secret of his power and are taking steps to end his rule with the help of another who wields the same power as Razmir. Sazed Khaim a member of the old order of the keepers.

Houserules:
Casting: When casting a spell defensivly if you fail you do not automaticly lose the spell, rather you provoke an attack as you normally would for not casting defensive. If you are hit you must make a concentration check dc 10+damage taken if you fail this check you lose the spell.
Rolls:
Many rolls will be handled by the GM in secret.(don't worry, I don't fudge.)
Any result that can influence the character behavior will not be rolled open.
Rolls that will be handled by the GM:
Perception
Sense Motive.
if you make the check I will send you a pm or make a post and put it in a spoiler depending on the situation.
Sometimes I will roll Initiative others I will ask you to roll depending on the situation. In some situation (rarely) I will bypass init entirely and have you all go first and enemies second or have enemies go first and you all go after.
Combat rules:
I'm a fair GM, I dont roll combat in secret, I don't change results, I don't ignore bad calls from the characters.
Sometimes, character dies, but I'm not a player killer, if I think that an encounter will be easy handled, when it should be more challenging, I will make it a more challenging, if the party it's not prepared to face something, I will drop hints, if they insist... well killing one or two players never made me lack sleep...
Actions:
I'm a GM that do not punish the character for trying something new or cool, or even strange. Visual appealing actions are encouraged, the dc will of course depend on what are you trying, but you can try! If what you want to do is wicked cool, I can even bend the game mechanics to allow it! The most importat part is: Everyone have fun.
Posting Rate
If it could be done, I expect 1/day posting, if you can post more, it will really good.
During weekend, this rule does not apply. If you are able to post, great! But dont stress over this, everyone need some time to rest (In my case, I need time to play and DM :D on my tabletop games).
Level up
Aside from character creation, when you level up, if you want something not from core rulebook, you'll need to search it inside the game. basicly what you need to do is just show in game your character is searching for that knowledge. This rule is not meant to prohibit anything, I just don't like something like this: "Character always as a full caster, never picked up a sword in his entire life, and then he gain a new level and says: Master, I'll level up as a fighter now..."

Bleyz sighs in relief... and looks at the others. "That was harder than it needed to be... the thing kept healing in the flames. If we run into more like it, I only have 2 uses of my energy fist left for the day. Still, I think resting is something we may not have time for."

Achren pulls out his scroll just as Bleyz finally puts down the elemental.
"Next time we meet a creature such as this, I can try to dismiss it with this scroll. Failing that, my Eidolon can protect me from much of its attacks, might be better if I take point on it."
You can no longer see any trace of the cultist the roads are solid stone and there isn't enough dirt or dust for you to track them. You decide to take the road towards the center of the city.
You travel for some time when A sudden clanging of shields and weapons resounds as a pack of four flaming, gold-plated skeletons bearing golden scimitars rise up from the nearby ruins and advance.
You go first then them. No need for init or a map for this one it's a quick battle.

Bleyz sighs and charges forward, taking on one of the skeletons (assuming more than 5' of movement so only one attack... if that's wrong let me know and I'll roll the other 3)
When you keep going you eventually reach the wall to the second cirle of the city.
The city is built in rings with each being a little higher than the other kinda like Minas Tirith from lord of the rings.
The enormous golden gate is guarded by a group of large flaming gold skeletons. Ogre skeletons by the look of it wielding scimitars. They don't seem to have noticed your approach.

"A powerful priest could simply banish them, or command them to return to their rest," Devyhn replies. "It seems likely that such a priest may be leading the cultists."
disrupt undead is still only one ray if you are hasted
Both ogres are quickly dispatched by you attack Arkon finishing one and Erik the other.
Even with their DR:5 they got wrecked there. Only had had 40 hp each. These Gold-Clad Skeletal Ogres are not flaming as I first thought and they do not self-destruct. You can say you didn't use your spell Lyall.
With the guards taken down the way to the gate that leads into the second ring of the city is clear.
You open the gates to the second ring and proceed forward. Up ahead standing on the balcony of a two story building you notice a Razmiran cultist.
"So Iramine was right, we were being followed! Lay down your arms heretics and we shall spare you! You are surrounded! Hundreds of Razmir's faithful beg me to kill you but I will spare your lives if you surrender to the living god! Make your decision!"

"Kill me if you can cultist, but I will not forsake the Lady of Graves for her divinity is genuine. Your Razmir cannot make such a claim, no matter how much you bluster on his behalf!"

"Enough Talk, It's clobberin' time!
I am assuming that my haste is still in operation. If it is not, Achren will cast that first and then move. Is flying up to the balcony a possibility? if so, consider it done, putting away his mace in the process; otherwise Achren will take out his crossbow and take a shot.
Haste would no longer be in effect a few minutes have passed since you cast it and it only last 6 rounds (36 seconds) You can fly up to the balcony but not as a single move so you wouldn't be able to do a claw attack the balcony is 20 feet up and a good 60 feet away when you see the cultist. Also other cultist are approaching from all around as well. I'm at work now but will post a map later.
Feel free to change your actions now that you know your surroundings. It is a dc 15 perception to notice any cultist other than the leader on the pillar.
Oh roll init when you post your surprise round actions.
Also remember:
If some but not all of the combatants are aware of their opponents, a surprise round happens before regular rounds begin. In initiative order (highest to lowest), combatants who started the battle aware of their opponents each take a single standard or move action during the surprise round. You can also take free actions during the surprise round. If no one or everyone is surprised, no surprise round occurs.

"We are exposed, standing out here in the open. Do we want to wait for them to come to us, or find cover?" Devyhn asks, as he cocks and loads his hand crossbow. (free action)
Not waiting for a reply, he moves toward the neares broken column (C-13) and looks for a likely target to fire on.
