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..."
You press on to the 3rd ring. You cross many more empty buildings and can see in the center of the city there is a tower-like structure. You can guess that whatever remains of the cultist is gathered there now.
A giant golden dragon skeleton can be seen flying in circle around the tower.

"Seems giving them time to prepare for our arrival might be to their advantage, rest for the spellcasters seems to be of importance. How about that empty building over there? Let me scout it and make sure it is as empty as it looks."
Bleyz goes over to the empty-seeming place and checks it out, thoroughly searching it before declaring it clear and safe for the others.
You find a suitable place to stop to rest. The doors are solid enough for you to barricade yourself in but there are many broken windows were a person could slip in.

"I'll never know why the gods decided that speaking funny noises and hand wavy motions should require more rest than swinging an axe into constructs of iron, but I thank you for your guardianship." Lyall nods approvingly at Erik.

Achren looks at Lyall and says, "Perhaps it is a question of balance. Those who wield the power of magic - whether it be divine or arcane - should not be permitted to do so unchecked, and so the Gods demand that they must rest more often."
As is his normal routine, Achren will stay up all night, sitting in position and resting long enough to regain spells.

Lyall does some spell-swapping as he rests, preparing three more shields, two more Bull's Strength, and another Resist Energy Communal, dropping other stuff.

"Yes. Thank you, my friend," Devyhn says to Erik as he eases into meditation. Once he has completed his devotions, he settles his gear and then himself for rest.
You rest for the night and while you hear the occasional roar from the dragon skeleton and the occasional roaming golden guardian going by it leaves you alone and you are left undisturbed while you rest for about 8 to 10 hours. Even Dusan curls up in a corner and sleeps for a short time.

"I have a spell that may allow an archer to deal extraordinary damage to it at a range. It is somewhat hit or miss, as the art of archery is. Too much of an odds game, but it is a game to play without other options."

"You seemed to miss my implication of it being a last resort. Also, while you are certainly the greater archer when it comes to unleashing a volley to darken the skies, I believe I am the greater archer when it comes to a single shot. And my spell only enhances a single shot."

"Archery rarely makes a good last resort. And whilst your skill with a bow is impressive for a wizard I have gained much experience fighting these undead creatures. If we need one good shot then that is what I will offer."
You press on and reach the great central tower were once the whispering tyrant ruled over this great city.
When you approach the tower you see that it is surrounded by a large moat filled with molten gold. A single 20 foot wide bridge leads to the tower.
On the bridge standing in the middle of it is the herald of Rasmir that lead the ambush against you before. Healed from her injuries. She waits until you are close enough to hear her speak (assuming you don't attack from range). For now the dragon continues to circle. It should have seen you but doesn't attack.
"You have done well to make it this far but the sacrifice of my faithful soldiers was not in vain. It delayed you long enough that Iramine was able to reach the jewel of everlasting wealth and with it she took control of all the cities defenses! Even now legions of golden sentinels march to this tower to defend it! And Before you can even enter this tower you will need to face on of the cities greatest guardian the gold-clad skeleton of Tar-Baphon’s Dragon!" she says pointing to the golden dragon skeleton who finally decides to come down and lands at the edge of the bridge right in between you and her making a mighty roar.
Seize the Initiative (Su): Whenever you and your allies roll for initiative, you can grant one ally within 30 feet the ability to roll twice and take either result. This decision is made before results are revealed. Used on Achren when inits come up
"Armour spell please Lyall from the wand and on any others that need it.
Arkon casts Barkskin on himself. Then draws his club.
This creature is a gold-clad, burning young adult red dragon skeleton (Huge undead CR9)
Fiery Aura (Ex)
Creatures adjacent to a golden skeleton take 1d6 points of fire damage at the start of their turn. Anyone striking a golden skeleton with an unarmed strike or natural attack takes 1d6 points of fire damage.
Fiery Death (Su)
A golden skeleton explodes into a burst of flame when it is destroyed.
Light Fortification (Ex)
Whenever a sneak attack or critical hit is scored against a golden skeleton, there is a 25% chance that the extra damage is negated and damage is rolled normally.
It is immune to fire but vulnerable to cold and electricity.

During the herald talking buff time, Lyall tags everyone with Communal Resist Fire, first. Everyone now has Resist Fire 20. Lyall gives Arkon the 20 minute duration. If he had time earlier, he would have applied requested mage armor.

Achren would have cast Mage Armor on himself before the encounter.
Achren begins gesticulating and chanting while holding a squid tentacle and suddenly the Razmiran priest is surroundedby grasping black tentacles. cast Black tentacles centered on the herald
Seeing the black tentacles all around the Herald retreats to the other side of the bridge to watch the battle. She hesitates then finally cast a spell of silence targeting Achren (make a will save dc 16 to negate).
Your go again.
Previous map was a little to cramped so I expanded your side of the bridge to give you more room to move around updated map

As the dragon approaches, It's wing buffets Achren before he could duck, bashing him in his side. While he is recovering, the Razmiran casts silence on him,
Will:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
but he is able to throw it off before it settles. Moving up to the dragon (and probably receiving an AoO), he strikes
Claw attack:1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 1 = 14+1 for haste, but still probably a miss
Just in case:
Damage if hits:1d4 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Don't forget guys: Haste gives +1 to hit, +1 to AC, +1 to Reflexes and extra attack on full attack.
