Any attack rolls, yes.

Dr. Zephyr gets a knocking over the head, seeing stars for a brief moment.

Atropos vs Sele: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

*CLUNK!*

Atropos vs Sele: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

*wwworbleworbleworble....*

Harlis.

With care not to create an opening for the errant Doctor, Harlis casts a spell then reaches out hoping for a result.

Defensive Casting DC17: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Touch Zephyrus: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Protection from Evil

Make it count, herr Doctor.

*CLUNK!*

*wwworbleworbleworble....*

"It is a cute little blade... it scratched my armour." he tries to buff the plate with his scaled hand..

As you'll recall, I'd already (accidentally) made the roll earlier.

Dr. Vitruvian takes a sharp, shallow gasp as his demeanor changes entirely in an instant.
"..."
"What have I done...?"
"...What did they DO TO ME!?!?" He screams as he begins clawing at his own head in revulsion and shame.

Enora sighs.

”I do not want to disturb your little emotional breakdown! But I just had to deal with two vampires on my own and would very much appreciate support to get out of all of this alive! And I believe that our fellow Pathfinder Charito is now a vampire as well as she was the last one standing when I was able to escape!“

"I apologize... I had to let the ruse go on a bit longer than I would prefer to get my decisive shots in."

"Is Charito of sound mind or fully converted to this evil?"

Enora sighs again.

”She is completely evil! She tried to kill me!!“

Amusingly enough, that encounter would normally have eaten Enora for breakfast. Were it not for mirror image. ^^

After the blasting Sele took, it looks like Sele still has the sap raised to strike, but then he sighs and put the sap away. He grabs his greatsword again

"Sorry my lady, I only wanted to whack him a little bit more..."

"So where has Charito gone, let's track her down."

"Well, the Doctor is only our friend again for about eight minutes." Harlis notes with some worry while pulling out a wand.

CLW Wand on Sele: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

”I need to heal too!“

UMD clw wand: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17
UMD clw wand: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25; 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
UMD clw wand: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22;1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
UMD clw wand: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31;1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
UMD clw wand: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21;1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
UMD clw wand: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32;1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Save the wand Sele is 45 of 45 atm..

What from here?

Harlis looks around assessing."It is good to see you again Enora and I am glad we all got out of the noose for now. But the magic warding Zephyrus' mind will only last about eight minutes. Maybe if we can give the controller a final destruction it may save him. How healthy is each person?" He pulls his small longsword and brandishes it. "May Iomedae guide us true in our fight against evil!"

Harlis will redirect that un-needed CLW into himself then cast Good Hope on the party ( +2 morale bonus on saving throws, attack rolls, ability checks, skill checks, and weapon damage rolls to help mitigate the negative levels) and Resist Energy Communal giving everyone resist energy - 20 fire (for future errant bombing). Lastly he will cast Bless Weapon on Sele's greatsword (for the auto crit confirm).

I can cast enlarge person, protection from evil - who wants that? Sele?

Enlarge person will last but 4 minutes, though, Enora being an effective CL 4, atm. But i trust you won't need that amount of time to walk through this combat, right?

You mean 4 minutes? Also for everyone's piece of mind. Harlis does get his spells back prior to the 24 hour mark on the energy drains so he can use the 100gp version of restoration to clear them off if you don't want to risk the saving throws for permanent drains.

I can certainly pay for the 100gp, thanks!

"Well let us make haste and greet Charito once more..."

I'm guessing if we are buffed and healed we only have the double doors to let us attempt to find a way forward.

Enora casts protection from evil and enlarge person on Sele!

Each 4 minutes. Protection from evil on enora still 3 minutes duration.

She casts another False Life spell on herself.

temp hp : 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Just before they open the door she casts HASTE!

haste 4 rounds.

"Well, the Doctor is only our friend again for about eight minutes." Harlis notes with some worry while pulling out a wand.

"Then let's KILL THEM! Never again do I wish to be so debased...."

"Think of it as a learning experience, herr doctor.", Vassago muses as he follows the others to the double doors.

Sele opens the doors and steps through

The team as buffed up as they deem needed, and making space for a large sized Sele, the latter pushes open the doors.
-------------------------------------------------
The ornate tapestries that cover the walls of this room almost
disguise the rough stonework of the foundry. Sarcophagi line the walls, covered in blankets and pillows to serve as divans.
An altar and a seven-foot-tall statue of a six-winged, snakebodied woman dominate the room’s western end.
--------------------------------------------------
Immediately, his mind is probed by three cultists, but to no effect, as he just snickers it off.
One shakes his head to the duo at the far back. Without delay, the cult leadership and henchmen take to battle.

The Lissana cult, round 1

The woman in the back moves up the wall without delay, and from the ceiling makes an arcane motion with her hand. An explosion of thick sticky threads occurs in the center of the team of pathfinders...

Everyone, reflex DC 18, or you are stuck by the webbings.
If you are stuck, you can get out by a flat CMB check DC 18, or an equal DC escape artist check as a standard action.

Reflex Save DC18 + Good Hope: 1d20 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 5 = 13

You missed Harlis and Vassago would have Magic Circle against Evil for about 79 minutes. Also Harlis cast Bless Weapon on Sele's sword. Everyone has Resist Fire 20 from Harlis for 9 minutes or 19 minutes in the case of Enora, Zephyrus and Sele (not protection)

Harlis grimaces at the opening spell before a thought comes to him and he grins while saying "You think another trial by far will test us? Think again for our cause is just." as he pulls a ceramic flask and smashes it against the massive form of Sele, letting the contents splash over the party in a blaze of fire.

Move to pull out alchemists fire and a standard to use it letting it splash over everyone except Enora.

Ref save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 minus minuses

Harlis, would you make a melee touch attack in that case, if you please. Strands of thick webbing sticking to your arms and all.

The cultist was hoping to see the shiny armored nagaji stuck, but it was not to be. Devoted to the cult, he quickly makes his way over.

Slam?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 Dmg + lvl drain on hit: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
The pale cultist hits Sele in the abdomen, sapping vitality from him in the process.

+ 1 negative lvl.

Harlis (pending roll)
------------------
Red likewise approaches Sele, rushing forth with fanaticism.
"For the goddess, for the coven!"
Charging slam?: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 = 26 Dmg + lvl drain on hit: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
-2 AC until next turn.

The cultist hits Sele in almost the same place, sapping more vitality from the paladin.
+1 negative lvl.

Attack on AC5 square: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 2 = 20

The fire should spread through the rest of the webbing clearing it away of course.

Over the course of a round, however.

I should have done this before, what with all the talk of preparation, but I guess my mind was elsewhere:

Dr. Vitruvian takes out a very small flask of lambent, almost ethereal blue liquid, and downs it with hardly a swallow (heroism).

Now:

Reflex save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

Dr. Vitruvian's had to get past worse webs than that just to make it down to some of his research facilities.

He takes out and opens a small jar of red, nut-like capsules, which begin smoking languidly upon exposure to air, and begins them slipping them into his explosives supply (targeted bomb admixture).

Remember the various goodies I gave you, everyone!

Ref : 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 7 + 2 = 24

Thanks GM, haste is missing in the buffs. If we assume 1 round is lost due to timing then it should still be up 3 rounds.

Zephyrus heroism doesn’t stack with good hope, both are morale bonuses.

I guess not, but it lasts way longer (I didn't actually realize we had good hope), and now feels like the time!

So Haste +1 on Reflex, Good Hope +2, protection from evil +2. :-)

Speaking of stacking, Enora, you had activated both false life and that arcana trick for temp HP. Do those stack, or likewise highest only?

Sele cries out in pain at the strikes

Sele has Reach 10 atm, he gets an aoo on Blue as it approaches to attack as it didn't charge?

Greatsword AoO +bless+gh+has: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (14) + 17 = 31 Greatsword AoO +bless+gh: 3d6 + 17 ⇒ (6, 1, 6) + 17 = 30

He then attacks Blue and flows on to Red if blue falls

Greatsword+bless+gh+has: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27 Greatsword AoO +bless+gh: 3d6 + 17 ⇒ (2, 1, 5) + 17 = 25

Greatsword+bless+gh+has haste bonus: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24 Greatsword AoO +bless+gh: 3d6 + 17 ⇒ (3, 3, 6) + 17 = 29

Greatsword+bless+gh+has: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 Greatsword AoO +bless+gh: 3d6 + 17 ⇒ (1, 5, 3) + 17 = 26

No aoo i'm afraid, flat footed and such.

Sele swings his sword back at blue, hitting for 20 on the 1st, yet his 2nd and third attack do not strike true.
Negative lvl penalties..

Dr. Zephyr prepares by rummaging secret components into his alchemical supplies.

Vassago

Enora

Green

Knowledge (Religion) vis-a-vis vampires, if I may: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24 You can tell me how much else I may know, but one thing I want to be sure of is their immunities/resistances.

ARE these folks all vampires?

Reflex Vassago, haste, good hope, PfE, negative lvl: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 10 + 1 + 2 + 2 - 1 = 24

"Caramba!", as Vassago dodges the explosion of webbing.
"Good thing i'm wearing this robe, this happens to be a fine vest i'm wearing."

Vassago takes aim at the blue cultist, previously injured by Sele.
Water blast, PBS, haste, good hope, cover from a really big Sele, negative lvl: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 1 + 2 - 4 - 1 = 12 Dmg: 4d6 + 11 ⇒ (4, 6, 4, 5) + 11 = 30
Instead of hitting the cultist, Vassago washes one of Sele's knees, as the paladin's large figure seemingly provides ample cover against the attack.
-----------------
?? does ??
The bald man in the back speaks with an authoritarian tone.
"Maybe our time has come, maybe not. Take them out, my brothers, let none of them leave this sanctuary!"

He slowly raises a finger towards Sele, speaking something in Thassilonion.

Sele, Willsave DC 20 please, or you'll become blinded.
The man then moves slight forward towards the wall.

Enora
----------------
Green

Enora moves to Vessago's side and casts protection from evil on him!

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Thanks for the retcon. Forgot protection from evil circle. .

Enora uses her staff to send a fireball into the middle of the room.

Fireball, cl 8 staff , Reflex half dc 18 : 8d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 2, 5, 2, 2, 2, 1) = 23

HP 30/30| Temp HP 17/17 | Spells: 1st: 2/6, 2nd: 2/5, 3rd: 3/4 | Staff charges 0/10 | Reroll 0/1 | Rod of lesser extend: 3/3 | Wand of CLW: 0/10 | Wand of mage armor 2/5 | Bonded item spell 1/1 | Arcane Reservoir: 2/6 | Prescience: 5/6 | Active conditions: 3 negative levels, Mage armor, 4 Mirror images remaining, false life, arcane barrier

As per discussion,

Enora invokes protective magics, granting Vassago his own PfE buff.
Due to the party's protective spell, Sele barely manages to resist the bald man's dark magic.
-----------------------
Green, currently without space to do anything useful from, heads to the eastern wall, taking cover behind one of the coffins.

========================

The Lissana cult, round 2

The woman on the ceiling points her finger, and from a glowing circle around it, fly four arcane missiles, flying past Sele to the supporters in the back.

Having noticed only Vassago's offensive talents, the four of them pelt into him.
Missiles: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 2) + 4 = 12

Blue recovers slightly from his injuries, then swings his fist again at Sele.

Slam: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 Dmg + drain: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Crit?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 Extra dmg + drain: 1d4 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

:(

The strike of the vampire hits Sele in the previous hit spot, and the impact drains Sele from his vitality, and his heart stops beating, as he falls slumps to the floor, looking quite weakened.

The vampire then steps closer to the others.

Harlis glares at the approaching undead and invokes his most powerful destructive prayer hoping that it will turn the tide.

Nice. Will update when i get home.
