"OUCH!"
Shutakasuma will create a Shadow Servant to try to lift up the orb.
Performances left: 6/7
That Shadow Servant should last for 3 rounds with Lingering Performance

Cade eyes the golem and the giant ape and decides to attack the smaller apes, since they are closer to his size.

Cade Charge: 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 24
Cade Damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 2) + 8 = 12
Fang Charge: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 7
Fang Damage: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3
Fang Trip: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 10

Not sure if you had seen the declared action for this round. But it was the movement i had already placed. He's slow, so i had to double move to get up the stairs then double move to get where I am currently. 2 rnds

Note, i failed to mention it, but that is a pit where the white ball is... each stage of the pit is a 5 foot drop. So, i adjusted Cade's charge to be outside of it.

Cade chargest beside the pit and lances into one of the smaller apemen. Dealing a good deal of damage but failing to trip him.

Shutaku's shadow is unable to move the orb.

Thael, are you still wanting to do greese?

Tyriel moves closer to the ape in the bit.

You can hear the sounds of more Apemen approaching.

for Rnd 3
The Golem continues its slow approached 40 ft toward the large monster...

Wow, this body may be imposing, buts it's so slow...I wonder if shield guardians are just as slow... Tyriel thought, as he sensed he ad the time to ponder some things.

I can't access the map atm and can't see the map, but I'll continue to hold my grease spell if none of our party members are in melee. If I'm in range I'll move then cast it under the big ape. If everyone else is moving to melee and I'm just sitting in the back, I'll double move until I'm in range. Thanks.

Eryndir sends arrows flying at smaller apemen, targeting where he thinks it will do the most good.

Arrow Flurry: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 = 8

Arrow Flurry: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Or, at least, in the general vicinity of doing the most good. Just in case, his arrows have confirmed the absence of invisible flying apemen. Rest easy, folks.

Lacking any other plans, Shutakasuma will run up to a tree near the large building in front of the cavern they were in and start climbing up.

The cunning plan is to climb up and use his light crossbow to snipe at the ape men Cade is fighting. He should be just barely in range once he climbs up

climb (untrained): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15

Eloisa continues to sing inspiring courage in her allies. She moves forward between the camp tents. As she moves forward she removes her bow and prepares to shoot.

15 rounds remaining

The big ape man sees the golem coming at him, and attacks with a single swipe of his arm. dealing 10 damage.

The two ape-men beside Cade tare into him. Dealing 4 damage to cade. The one has to take a 5 foot step.

Expecting a much more powerful strike from the giant before him, The Tyriel-powered-golem reals back its fists. The sounds of energized gears signals both fists to slam into the creature...

Slam Attack 1: 1d20 + 36 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 36 + 1 = 54
Cold Iron Bludgeoning Damage: 4d12 + 27 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4, 9, 10) + 27 + 1 = 52

Slam Attack 2: 1d20 + 36 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 36 + 1 = 49
Cold Iron Bludgeoning Damage: 4d12 + 27 + 1 ⇒ (2, 11, 10, 10) + 27 + 1 = 61

...A small shock wave emanates off the golem's fists at impact.

Nice!

Thael watches as the golem moves to very effectively engage the unnaturally large primate.

He continues to look for opportunities to use his magic to assist his companions.

Assuming the creature is dead...but if not, I'll cast grease under it. DC 17 Reflex

The big ape shruggs off the attack from the golem and is unaffected by the grease at his feet.

Cade and Fang, harried by the apes, fail to land any blows. They then disengage from the enemies using their escape route combat training.

On his way back, Cade notices the fight between the golem and the giant gorilla.

"Wow, is there any way for that golem to even hurt that thing?"

Cade manages to flee from the little ape men.

Shutakasuma will take a crossbow shot at the ape-man that Cade did hit already.
light crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 71d6 ⇒ 4

Oh well. My expectations weren't high.

Shutakasuma takes careful aim and lets the bolt loose. He looks up to see the arrow sticking out of the tree that he's sitting in.

Tyriel lashes out and attacks the giant ape, dealing a moderate amount of damage to him.

Eloisa moves out from behind a tent and fires upon a smaller ape.

1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 12 for: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Her song continues 14 rounds remaining as her arrow flies wide of its mark.

Rnd 4 Combat for Tyriel <---Acknowledge, Amsheagar.

The Golem continues its onslaught, placing its hands together like that of a wrecking ball. Or the kirk maneuver from star trek.

Fist 1: 1d20 + 36 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 36 + 1 = 44
Damage: 4d12 + 27 + 1 ⇒ (8, 8, 5, 10) + 27 + 1 = 59

Fist 2: 1d20 + 36 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 36 + 1 = 38
recover from botch!: 1d20 + 36 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 36 + 1 = 47
Damage: 4d12 + 27 + 1 ⇒ (8, 10, 4, 4) + 27 + 1 = 54

One of the Golem's hand detaches from the main momentous force and continues on the side of the ape, striking the ground.

Damn, glad no one was there...whew...bad at this melee crap.

Eryndir growls as his remaining targets are out of sight. He slips over to stand behind and left of Thael. Can't seem to move him on the map myself.

From there, he fires one arrow past the giant ape at one of the little ones.

Arrow: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9

The arrow goes well wide.

Eryndir moves to the only area where he can fire upon the small ape-men, where the tents won't be in the way. His arrow goes wide and strikes another ape-men that was fighting the villagers.

Tyriel, what was the "recover from botch!" Roll?

Angazhani swings his four arms at the golem

The two ape-men that were fighting Cade chase after him. While two more appear over the walls to the east and west of you. They charge the group.

I rolled a 1, thought I had to confirm like that of a crit-threat.

Seeing his comrades in trouble, Cade wheels about and charges one of the apes.

Moving into range of his spell, Thael reaches out a hand, and a burst of color sprays from his palm, which strikes the ape.

Color Spray, DC 16 Will save

Shutakasuma takes another potshot at the ape that Cade hit earlier:
light crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 81d6 ⇒ 1
A marksman he is not!

Thael, which ape?

Big guy...

Eloisa pivots reloads the crossbow and fires at the ape charging from the west
"Ennie, Meanie, Miney, Moe. Catch a gorilla by the toe!" She continues to sing for all her allies to hear 13 rounds remaining. The tone and lyrics have changed from heroic ballad to a more comic tune but the effect is the same.

1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 1 = 20 For: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Thael, i'll need a spell resistance roll from you.

The golem smashes into the big ape, while the arrows wide, while the attacks on the small ape hit home and he is tripped.

Eryndir fires more arrows at apemen, starting with those nearest him.

Flurry: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6

Flurry: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 = 9

I had been forgetting his attack bonus from his judgment. I don't think it had mattered any time before.

caster level check to overcome spell resistance: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Tyriel's spell failed to have any effect on the CR 14 Champion. Eryndir shot at Ape-Man #4 and killed it with his first shot. The second shot aimed at Ape-Man #3 and dealt some damage.

The Champion casts defensively Deeper Darkness CD: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22 60 foot around the Champion has plummeted into darkness.

The Ape-Men move and Ape-Man #4 goes after the archer who attacked him.
He swings a club. attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 161d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 dealing 7 damage.

Theal, you mean? Also, My action was declared for this round earlier.

miss chance per invisibility: 1d20 ⇒ 18 If high was the success, looks like i Hit. If not, damn.

Cade attacks the ape man to his north and then heads over to the east, finding an escape route allowing Fang and Cade to avoid opportunity attacks.

Cade Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

Tyriel, double check your info, you have dark vision.

Shutakasuma will fire at the apeman who just hit Eryndir:
light crossbow: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 101d6 ⇒ 6
The dice don't like me!

Amsheagar: I guess the Deeper Darkness spell deprives me of a light source to create a shadow puppet does it?

Ha! take that ape thing. Looks like he gets a fistful of Iron Golem.

You are correct Shutakasuma. Also You'll need a 50/50 roll to hit in darkness. above 50 you hit, below 50, you miss.

Eryndir backs up and fires two arrows at his attacker.

Flurry: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 3 + 1 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Flurry: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 1 = 14
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 = 9

Eryndir, and anyone who doesn't have darkvision. You'll need a percentage check, above 50, you hit. below 50, you miss.

Fortunately, I do have darkvision!
Unfortunately, I can't seem to hit the broad side of a barn!

Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 4
Miss chance: 1d100 ⇒ 58

With the biggest ape creature difficult for his magic to penetrate, Thael turns to the lesser apes engaging his comrades.

Seeing two of them grouped together, the wizard summons some grease beneath their feat.

grease, DC 17 Reflex, I've placed 10' square on map.

Thael, give me a percentage. if you're below 50, give me a D8

1d100 ⇒ 95

Thankfully Eloisa can see in the dark she takes this oppertunity to step back spin and cast cord of shards on the 2 apemen in range

2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9 DC 15 for no damage

Next round actions.

The golem crosses it's arms in front of it self at the forearms. It raises them slight before Thrusting them parts with great force at the Giant creature before it. Just Die, you have no chance against us! He thought while he attacked the beast.

Slam 1: 1d20 + 36 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 36 + 1 = 39
Fist o' Damage: 4d12 + 27 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 11) + 27 + 1 = 46
