"Shadow and Illusion are her weapons Pathfinder, she cares not for the powers of the elements."
You move up the spire, cautiously avoiding the patrols that occasionally use the main spire to move from floor to floor. The sounds of a great celebration come from the various doors as you pass. It seems as if Rhoswen is already celebrating victory.
You finally make it to the top. The main doors waiting to be pushed open.
Last chance to buff. I will count all buffs as starting on the opening of the door.

At the door Kyra will use her Scroll of and then cast
BLESSING OF FERVOR
School transmutation; Level cleric 4
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, DF
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets one creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart
Duration 1 round/level
Saving Throw Fortitude negates (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless)
With this blessing, you call your allies to move forth and empower them to conquer and become victorious. Each round for the duration of this spell, each of your allies can choose one of the following bonuses for that round at the beginning of its turn (their choice).
Increase its speed by 30 feet.
Stand up as a swift action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Make one extra attack as part of a full attack action, using its highest base attack bonus.
Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.
Cast a single spell of 2nd level or lower as if it were an enlarged, extended, silent, or still spell.
These effects are not cumulative with similar effects, such as those provided by haste or a speed weapon, nor do they actually grant an extra action, so you can't use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round. Blessing of fervor does not stack with haste.
Ezren will cast Mage Armor.

As the doors fly open, you're greeted on the other end by Queen Rhoswen and a large Rhinoceros.
""Challenge me in my own realm, will you?" the fey-queen sneers. "The Second-born know their doom has arrived and you’re the best they could send?" She gestures toward the mirror before her throne.
"Look there, if you dare," she taunts. The mirror shows images of a raging battle between the good creatures of the forest and her Fellnight army, as well as the citizens of Bellis huddled in their homes, frightened as mist and shadow close around them. "This prison can no longer hold me. Your sad tale ends here, your minds shattered and
souls cursed for all eternity."

Kyra will cast ..
HOLY SMITE
School evocation [good]; Level cleric 4
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Area 20-ft.-radius burst
Duration instantaneous (1 round); see text
Saving Throw Will partial; see text; Spell Resistance yes
You draw down holy power to smite your enemies. Only evil and neutral creatures are harmed by the spell; good creatures are unaffected.
The spell deals 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d8) to each evil creature in the area (or 1d6 points of damage per caster level, maximum 10d6, to an evil outsider) and causes it to become blinded for 1 round. A successful Will saving throw reduces damage to half and negates the blinded effect.
The spell deals only half damage to creatures who are neither good nor evil, and they are not blinded. Such a creature can reduce that damage by half (down to one-quarter of the roll) with a successful Will save.
Ezren casts Haste on Markus.
Since she is visible, Ezren will cast glitterdust centered around her in case she pulls out an invisible trick.

Lirianne paces forward a step, aims and fires.

They do, let me calculate damage here.

She takes 17 damage from Buckwheat and not all of the damage from Lirianne.
Rhoswen - 37 Damage
To save her spell she needs to make 3 caster level checks.

fail, the spell sputters and is lost.
Rhoswen curses. And begins to cast a second spell.
Buckwheat give me a DC 20 Fort Save.
Ezren will cast Color Spray targetting Rhoswen,
"Stop that transmutation spell!"

k. 1 second.
Let's factor all the damage and check miss chances.
Hits
Hits
SR is overcome Spear of Purity hits and deals damage.
So we have 21+11 (She has DR 5/Cold Iron)+18=40 damage, with her 37 current, puts her at 77...
She's dead.
However, as she falls the power holding her realm together, especially the palace begins to fade with it. Shaking and crumbling. Racing forward you grab her staff and rush up the steps. From here you can perform the ritual, Devarre taught you to reestablish the Faengard.
The ritual is difficult, but you are eventually successful. The Faengard's power restored draws the shadow fey back from the material realm and stabilizes the realm replacing Rhoswen as the power to hold the realm together.
A portal opens and the Unicorn steps out.
"Well done Pathfinders, but is time to go. I can only hold this portal for a few moments longer before the Faengard's power closes it forever."
Congrats we made it through. I'll send out sheets with PFS numbers tonight when I get home from work.
Thanks so much for playing.
