Aetherys charges her blade with crackling lightning and arcane energy, then moves to strike the grey dwarven smith.
Using an arcane pool to make Dawnblade +3 Keen and casting shocking grasp, then moving to deliver the strike.
+3 keen Dawnblade (bypasses cold iron & silver), Inspire:1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 2 = 321d6 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 2 = 14+3 to hit if he's wielding a metal weapon or is wearing a metal armor
The dwarven smith jitters and jerks as Aetherys stabs him, then sags to the ground. Castien's second shot hits the Xorn.
Castien:
It's Xorn: DR 5/bludgeoning; Immune cold, fire, flanking; Resist electricity 10. It's got all-around vision and can bury through earth much like a fish moves through water.
Male Elf Fighter (Lore Warden) 1/Wizard (Enhancer)) 5 [ HP 41/41 | AC 19/FF14/T16 (23/18/20 w/Mage Armor) | Fort +3, Ref +6, Will +6 (immune to sleep, +2 vs. ench) | Init +7 | Perception +9 ]
"Use b-blunt w-weapons, d-d-don't b-bother w-with ice, f-fire, f-flanking, or lightning, and it c-c-can s-swim through s-stone." Castien communicates to the others as effectively as he can.
Grimaldus chops at the weird creature, bringing down a world of harm. The round creature retaliates by biting with a huge fanged mouth, and clawing with all three appendages.
Aetherys circles around the xorn, but doesn't bother going all the way around after Castien's revelations. She strikes swiftly with her sentient blade.
Tanbaru responds [b]These dwarves are know for their many secret hiding spots. It would certainly pay off to search this place thoroughly.
Marra, on the other hand, fails to find anything secret. She does find masterwork tools for both armor and weapon crafting. One the wall a large collection of arms is present - pretty much every weapon imaginable. There's two warhammers that look especially well-made (Masterwork, not magical). Six manacles sit in a pile in the corner of the room, each secured with an average quality lock.
Two-handed Fighter-5/Hellknight-5 | AC 26 T 14 FF 24 | HP 39/99 | F +12 R +6 W +7 (+2 vs. compulsion)| Init +5 | Perc +13
Grim begins to search the place, adding his crafting expertise to the identification of the weapons and the tools.
Perception:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 Craft(Weapons):1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
After sheathing her curved blade, Aetherys uses her pearl of power to recall one of her lightning spells, then sets out to search the place carefully as advised.
Castien's discovery is small and simple: the Anvil of the dwarven forge master has a secret compartment, and inside it in an iron key, which looks to be around the right size to be the key that unlocks the manacles.
With that, Tanbark offers his guidance to go deeper and deeper underground into the dwarven mountain, avoiding duergar patrols and finding his way through the twisting hallways, until the group ends up at a sanctum.
The sanctum is a large, multipurpose room. Two rows of stone benches face a lectern, which sits in front of a stylized iron anvil. A thin curtain of water trickles down from the ceiling behind the anvil. Beyond this curtain, a slick ramp descends into a large open window, which reveals the roaring waterfall just beyond. A sturdy table in the southeast corner bears a pile of bloodstained ropes. Barred doors lead out of the room to the east and west.
A proud duergar in gleaming armor stands next to a corpse in tattered clothing. The duergar narrows his eyes at the intrusion, and gestures toward the undead creature next to him. “This one warned me that you would come. His people are trapped, scattered across the realm like dead leaves. His hate for you was strong. I let him stay, to tell me more about this Pathfinder Society—this band of thieves and braggarts. Even after he blasphemed Droskar’s name, I kept him to remind me of your coming.”
In a sudden fit of violence, the stout priest shoves the zombie down the ramp. Helpless on the slippery surface, it falls prone and slides into the torrent of falling water.
Ironwhip holds out his hand and grins menacingly, still clutching a scrap of torn cloth affixed to a stylish bronze pin.
Halfling Bard 9 | AC 24 T 18 FF 18 | HP 75 | F +7 R +13 W +8* | CMD 22 | Init + 5 | Perception +14
Marra begins to chant an inspiring tale of courage to help her allies in battle, before she moves forward drawing her small scimitar "The bigger they are the faster they fall!" looks around as she moves.
Inspire courage +2 to hit, damage and save vs fear 10/13 rounds
Aetherys darts into the room with her magically-enhanced and lightning energy-charged scimitar, then slashes at the yellow-armored duergar.
Swift action: Dawnblade becomes +3 keen thanks to a point of my arcane pool. Casting shocking grasp before moving and releasing it once I'm in melee range,
Aetherys is a streak of lightning herself as she connects dawnblade with the banded iron mail of the duergar, then twists her wrist to chop off the dwarf's head, all in one stroke. The headless body twists and jitters as it bleeds out on the floor.
Fully committed to his attack, poor Grim never saw the counter-attack coming, and fully bears the brunt of the explosive charge! This damage, combined with the wounds he sustained from the xorn, drop the armored human to the ground!
(Sooo...this attack plus the xorn damage all adds up to 56 points of damage. Grim was at 41/51. That makes him negative 15...ouch!!)
With 16 Con, that means Grim will have to stabilize (which will be quite hard at -15) or die as soon as his turn comes up. Perhaps Maeglin can come up with something
Pitbull sees Grimaldus fall, and charges in with double effectiveness, her curved blade drawing deep cuts in the oversized dwarf, while Asbo cuts through the dwarf's armour by sheer temperament.

Maeglin looks at the fallen and smashed form of Grimbaru, but is way too far away to reach him. Maeglin thinks through what sort of creature he might call from the ether when he decides on a small air elemental!
The elemental appears adjacent to Grimbaru.
The elemental tries staunching the bloodflow.

Tell me if this wont work, it was my best 'Roll two dice and pray' cheese Regards the reroll, I am not sure if transferring my GM reroll os legit, BUT I also have a reroll item... so that is certainly ok :)

great thanks for botting
I was with my family whole weekend without access to Internet and just found this one happening. Maeglin has Crypt of the Everflame boon for reroll, VC T-Shirt reroll with +2 because of stars.
Castien's first shot flies past the duergar, and into the waterfall, where it disappears. His second shot, though, hits the duergar in the back, causing him to let out a gurgling moan.
Marra charge sup and stabs another duergar in the back. This one, like the previous one, howls in pain.
The dwarven leader looks desperate, knowing a defeat when he sees one. Rather than surrender, he commits one more atrocity out of spite. I see you're making new friends, Tanbaru.
Exploding shards:4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 1, 4) = 15DC 18 RFX for half, Pitbull and Asbo

- You, damn, bad boy! said Maeglin, mocking the big dwarf Maeglin moved forward, retrieving magic wand from his pouch.
Mock (Su): At 1st level, the prankster can use his performance to cause one or more creatures to become furious with him. Each creature to be mocked must be within 90 feet, able to see, hear, and understand the prankster, and capable of paying attention to him. The prankster must also be able to see the creatures affected. For every three levels the prankster has attained beyond 1st, he can target one additional creature with this ability.
Each creature within range receives a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the prankster's level + the prankster's Charisma modifier) to negate the effect. If a creature's saving throw succeeds, the prankster cannot successfully mock that creature for 24 hours. If its saving throw fails, the creature is angered by the performance and seeks to harm the prankster. While the prankster maintains the mocking, the target takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and skill checks until it has successfully attacked the prankster with a melee or ranged attack, or has harmed the creature with a spell that deals damage.
Mock is an enchantment (compulsion) mind-affecting ability. Mock relies on audible and visual components in order to function. This ability replaces fascinate.
Pitbull hacks at the large dwarf, and slashes an artery in the leg of the dwarf. Warm blood covers the floor, while the dwarf is only barely able to stand up anymore. It looks like Asbo is coming in for the kill, but the owlbear is too eager, and only uselessly pecks at the armour on the dwarven chief. The dwarven chief, in turn, looks at the mocking of Maeglini n disdain. Dance, you little jester, and be cheerful at the death of a dwarf. Let me be judged in the eyes of Droskar, and let him know that I fought well.
I can't see the map, and Wayfinder won't let me post. Can someone bot me until Friday, please? I have one more shocking grasp, the modifiers are the same as in my last post. Thanks!
