Seidr closes her right eye and takes two quick steps as the snake attempts to charm her. [
i]Nothing real flows through this creature. How could nothing enthrall me?[/i] Reaaaaallllly easily.
Seeking to counter the void before her, she reaches out to strengthen her companions' spirits. Bless
Pasha is distracted by the creature's dance, while Suna is overcome with a sense of haunting familiarity by the snake-like nature of its movements. Seidr calls down a blessing to bolster her allies.
Active spells: Bless

Suna dazed

Seidr
Gneau and Kyun (if he passes his Will save) may act.
Sorry, not sure why I didn't allow you two to act with everyone else. We'll do that next round.
As he feels the Dance of Death filling his mind, Kyun shakes his head and lays into the creature, his mace slamming into it and cracking bones (crit confirmed). The blade that follows slips harmlessly between two bones as Gneau swings wildly on the other side.
The creature wheels around and snaps at Kyun in response...
attack (bite):1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 damage:1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
...missing again.
Suna and Pasha remain distracted by the memory of the creature's dance.

Seidr hunkers down behind her shield and pushes forward, crying out to Suna, Quick! while it's distracted!Total Defense then provoking the snake-thing
Seidr moves into position and calls out to Suna to flank, but the nagaji is still haunted by the creature's dance and unable to take advantage, as is her oread ally.

Seidr imparts a bit of guidance to Kyun.
Cast Defensively:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Sorry guys, Mind Affecting and Healing are my main shticks, lol
Gneau swings carefully, not doing much damage but moving the creature right into the path of Kyun's blow. Kyun's followup with his knife again slides between ribs, not doing any damage. Seidr defends herself and casts a spell to aid Kyun. Guidance on your next action, Kyun
The vision of the snake's dance finally begins to fade from Suna and Pasha's eyes. This is your last round being dazed.
The creature lashes out at Kyun in response to his blow...
attack:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 damage:1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
...it's bony jaw closing around his arm. Kyun can feel his muscles tensing in response to the bite. Fort save please, Kyun
Kyun
Gneau

Suna dazed (last round)

Gneau, Seidr, and Kyun (pending Fort save) may act

Seidr draws her wand and gives Kyun a tap, closing the bite marks.
CLW:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Don't forget you can use Guidance for your save instead of your attack if you like
to aid Kyun to hit:1d20 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 2 = 10
Gneau decides he's not doing much to the creature, so best to help the one who is... He takes swings his flail wildly to distract the creature, making it easier for Kyun to hit it.
Gneau distracts the creature while Seidr heals Kyun. Kyun tries to to take advantage of the opening Gneau provided, but finds himself unable to move! Kyun is paralyzed.
Seeing Kyun incapacitated, the creature turns it's attention to Gneau.

Seidr steps back a pace and blasts the snake with a gout of flame. Burning Hands
Suna shakes off the effect of the dance and swings her naganata. The bladed weapon seems ill-suited to damaging this creature made of bone, but she swings hard enough that some cracks still form where the blade strikes. Gneau strikes lower down, solidly damaging the creature, while Seidr lights it up, charring the bones.
Pasha takes a few steps up to stand next to Suna and attacks with her longspear.
Longspear:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11 Damage:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 Apologies for the delay! Could someone please move my character? I'm posting from my phone and the map loaded a bit funny. Thank you!
Pasha steps up with her spear, but the point passes harmlessly by the creature. The creature lashes out again at Gneau:
attack:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 damage:1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
DC 13 Fort save please, Gneau
Kyun paralyzed (last round)
Gneau
? severely damaged
Suna
Pasha
Seidr
Gneau (pending Fort save), Suna, Pasha, Seidr may act.
Dissatisfied with the results of her first attack, Pasha frowns and gives it another go, attacking once more.
Longspear:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21 Confirm?:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
"Does anyone know what this thing actually is?" she asks, perhaps a bit disgruntled by the difficulty they're having in, you know, killing it.

Suna frowns as her naginata's solid hit barely cracks a rib on the awful creature. She watches Gneau's flail smash ribs into fragments, and she realizes she needs a different approach. I will destroy you, false snake, she hisses in Nagaji.
Free action: drop naginata.
Move action: draw silver light mace
No action: 5 foot step
Standard action: attack!
Suna's mace is already smashing into the creature as her naginata is clattering against the ground. Fragments of bone hit the ground as the creature struggles to maintain integrity.

Seidr looks at the battle with dismay, I can't blast it without burning someone else!
Instead, she steps back next to the creature, trying to knock it off balance for Gneau's flail Or whoever next strikes if he's paralyzed
Gneau finds his limbs growing too heavy and sluggish to respond to mental commands and within seconds, his movement grinds to a halt as paralysis grips him. He growls something in gnomish seconds before his jaws lock up...
gnomish:
"Oh dammit! a curse on Cirin's great pendulous balls!"
"Hmf!" Pasha scowls at the amazing damage she'd done. That is to say - none. Which was the opposite of what she'd wanted, really. A quick look around informs her that using a bomb here could be deadly to her allies, too.
She flips the spear, attempted to smash the creature with the wooden haft of it, a sort of makeshift club.
Improvised Stave?:1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 1 - 4 = 5 Stave Damage:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
The result makes her grimace and she frowns all the deeper for it.
Kyun comes to just as the creature is distracted by Pasha's improvised attack. Seizing the opportunity, he lands a crushing blow, scattering bones across the floor as the beast loses integrity and falls apart! A few seconds go by before Gneau is once again able to move freely.
Out of combat. If you're curious, that was a necrophidious

Seidr digs out her medicinals and begins patching up Gneau.
Healer's Way #1:1d6 ⇒ 2 Healer's Way #2:1d6 ⇒ 4 Healer's Way #3:1d6 ⇒ 3
Well, at least the good news is that no one would create something like that if there weren't something interesting to guard.
"Thanks be to your healing touch, my dear," Gneau says to Seidr wholeheartedly. "I'm glad that beast's touch of paralysis wasn't permanent. I can finally move again. I think Arshea would be most disappointed if I lost that ability, as would several lady friends of mine, and a few men as well." He winks suggestively, then begins a search, suggested by Seidr's comment.
perc, taking 10 or 20, for 19 or 29, the best of whichever is allowed in the circumstance...
Seeing that the others have begun searching the area, Pasha adds her own efforts to the cause, looking around to see if there's anything of use she can contribute.
Perception:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24Aid another if we can't get Gneau's 29. c:
Searching thoroughly, you find nothing of interest in this magically-shaped cavern but the bones of your fallen foe. You do, however, see the flickering of what appears to be a flame farther ahead. Traveling further into the cavern (I assume) you come to a small alcove of polished stone, containing several desks. A single alexandrite gem rests among the neatly filed papers on one desk, emitting a soft luminescence that brightens the small room.
detect magic & spellcraft DC 18:
This gem has a continual flame [CL 3] spell on it
The notes themselves are mostly written in an unintelligible dialect, even for any of you that speak Azlanti, and seem to be coded as well. However, you can glean enough from the few documents written in Common to realize that these are likely Eylysia's notes, and that the Grand Lodge would likely be very interested to have a chance to decode these.
As you leave the caverns and emerge back into the main chamber, you hear...
...nothing. No one seems to be in the hall. As you exit back to the surface, you see the crowd dispersing. A spectator passing by says to a companion "Well, that was disappointing! He didn't even make it halfway across the gorge! What a fool. I do feel bad for the horse, though.".
You take the notes back to the Lodge, where they do indeed create quite a stir. Dreng asks you to write up a full report as soon as possible, while the details are fresh in your mind. Janira is fascinated by your tale and invites you all for drinks a The Wounded Wisp while you tell her all about it.
That's the end of this one. I'll get chronicle sheets up later this afternoon.
Pasha nods, moving on to this next task, getting as many of the details down as she can. Once she's finished, she turns it in and takes a moment to examine the others.
She gives them an acknowledging nod and slips away. She'd contributed more in some places and less in others. The nature of teamwork - There's more sense to this whole cooperating thing than I'd thought, she considers as she leaves.
Gneau seems satisfied with the results, at least partially so... "Master Dreng, I do hope we will get to learn the results of the research to be done... I'd be interested as to what she recorded here that she failed to report in her lifetime, and even more so, why she did these things. I hope we do get to learn of it in time."
He bids to the others a hearty farewell, and says, "I hope to see you all again in the future! Now, I must go, as a young lady awaits my pleasure... and her own... at home." He heads off whistling happily.
