Shilyn, if you want to fire your bow, your best bet is now; I'll assume it occurs before it went after Varian, thus making it only a -4 penalty and not a -8.
Varian attempts to overrun the creature since he can no longer attack with his reach weapon. Hopefully he can get to 2 spaces behind it so he can attack.
And with a satisfying crunch, the last of the blue lions goes down!
Combat over!
Varian, closest to the akata's lair, sees the room covered in a number of green crystals that bear a metallic sheen; a geode the size of Amnur's body rests on the pedestal and holds much more of this mineral.

"Is everyone all right? No injuries?"
"Well, if you call getting pounced on, clawed, and batted around as being alright, I guess I am.. but a bit o' healing would be appreciated," Shilyn replies with a smile.

Shilyn thanks Varian for his assistance, feeling the warmth of the healing magic mend her wounds. "You know, I go through more clothes this way," she mutters as she casts a glance at her now torn attire. "You'd think the Society would have some rip proof stuff or something."
With a shrug, she proceeds to check out the room. perception:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
@Shilyn: The only thing that stands out are the aforementioned crystals and geodes. You can tell that the room has only been disturbed somewhat recently, again, 2 weeks give or take.
"Well, that crystal sure is pretty. Reckon' it's worth a bit, else it wouldn't be in this here museum. Not sure how we go 'bout dragging it outta here though. Reckon a rock that big weighs a might much."
She eyes the dwarves hopefully. Dwarves like carrying rocks, right?

Being naturally curious, (and a little crazy) plus liking shiny things, Shilyn walks over to the door, slipping one of the smaller crystals in her pouch on the way.
Tapping her finger against her lip, she gives the door a good once-over before reaching for the latch.
"Shilyn! That demon told us not to touch anything! And do not think I did not notice that you put a piece of crystal in your pocket!"
If nothing happens Deaglan muses "Although I feel tempted to take some of that stuff back to Rolgrimmdur myself. Nothing ventured, nothing gained the humans say, don't they?"
With that Deaglan moves over to the big chunk and sees if he can lift that from the pedestal.

Looking over her shoulder at Delgan, Shilyn replies, "Well, way I see it, it wasn't talking to me technically, since I was not engaged in the discussion. Therefore, it wasn't really telling me not to touch anything, but rather telling Mylv and Varian, who were talking to it not to touch anything. See? Perfectly safe." She gives the dwarf a smile which fades quickly seeing his gruff countenance.
"Oh, Ok.." she mutters as she pulls the crystal from her pouch and returns it to it's former place.

Lirianne: "the room covered in a number of green crystals that bear a metallic sheen" (phrase just before the one you quoted) Figured at least one of them would be small. :)
@Deaglan: It's heavy, but not insurmountable. However, you do realize that it would be easier to chip away the green crystals from the stone versus take the whole thing with you.
@Shilyn: The central door in this hallway bears no traps that you can see. It is unlocked, and the only thing of note is the inscription above the door that reads in Azlanti (translated by Varian or Mylvwara), "Enigma of the Midnight Sun".
Varian watches and waits... peers into the room to see if he recognizes any of the constellations or formations... then waits for the others to complete their investigations.
@Mylvwara: You aren't quite familiar with the region, but you do know that this is arranged to be in a particular design for some interstellar area.
@Varian: Whatever this is, you can tell that it's deep; some area past Golarion's system.
After both Mylvwara and Varian study the room of systems, one of the larger stars starts growing brighter and brighter until it explodes in a painfully white light... then nothingness. The back wall is black, devoid of light or planets.
DC 25 Kn: Planes:
That even is the Diospara, a mass cataclysm of solar systems that occurred countless years ago when a star went supernova took out not only its own system, but many more that are beyond history's recollection.
Seeing the event is mind-crushing in the sheer destruction it conveys. Mylvwara's trained mind can handle it, but Varian not so, and a bit of his psyche is damaged by the effect.
1 Charisma damage to you Varian, luckily not enough to effect anything about your PC
Yes, but only a single point of ability damage doesn't do anything; you need ability damage in pairs to negatively affect a stat. So 1 damage is ok, but more than that is when the bad stuff occurs, especially Cha for an oracle!
