My question now for Ursus, is why not rather than maintain a pin, use the tie up option?
The way I see your characters abilities, if I had a BBEG charge you, your turn you'd simply a) Grapple, B) turn that grapple into a pin, then c) turn that pin into a tied up. The dc for that is 20+ your CMB, and it specifically states
If the DC to escape from these bindings is higher than 20 + the target's CMB
Or you could even just go grapple and then tie up with a -10 penalty... because the DC would still be the same if you were successful.

Taking this to discussion:
I see Gina, you think it's unreasonable for the gm to see someone with somewhat restricted ability to act to do a full round summoning with one hand in a position he's not familiar with, that this GM made up concentration roll is unreasonable and harsh... I guess we can only do what's exactly prescribed in the rule book and anything out of that, even if reasonable is just being harsh and overbearing? Specially when I gave him a way to do it without penalty, but if he really wanted style points he could do it...
Surprise round first, all can act in it but the archons as they weren't actually told you guys were coming or preparred after being summoned other than to "attack whoever comes through here next"
Well, I was just making an argument for our case. If you believe otherwise, so be it. No need to get riled up over it. I'm sorry if you felt that I was stepping on your GM's toes.

It's kind of a constant thing thing this game to argue over points that don't even matter or to get adversarial about everything.
-edit- I'm used to more easy going types where we are more concerned with having a good time rather than "winning" my tables have less min/maxed characters and less arguments with how I say things are and in particular less rule quoting. They know I won't put them in unreasonable situations unless they themselves become unreasonable. I've killed them on occasion, but they've never felt it was out of pettiness or malice. They also know that what I do is for fun.
I've expected from the start for you guys to steamroll this, but the fun of running it has quickly run it's course for me as there's little apparent need for me to adjudicate things and little desire to calmly discuss things on a game that was projected to take 3weeks...

Whoops, I did that wrong. That was one casting, but I was rolling one dispel check for EACH effect. Rereading the spell it's one check, and you use that to compare vs effects until one works.
So, I fail. I'm sure he has nothing with CL 7 or below.
My apologies for my poor understanding of the spell.
I was probably going to try again on his fly the following round, so we'll call that a fail too. With the second casting I would be out if 3rd level spells.

I can speak Thassilonian, if it helps with the journal
things to try:
1. remind daxter that prostrate is face flat on floor, not kneeling. wait for results
2. read journal (speak thassilonian, linguistics +16)
3. detect magic + arcana on statue to figure out spells on statue
4. Check statue for traps - take 20? if so, perception 41
5. if no traps check for compartments
6. if traps, disarm (+28 with assists) snd then 5
7. try to complete scarification on wizard corpse, have ursus toss body at feet of statue
8. UMD to bypass/blindly activate (+15)
If we are hurrying to finish I don't have to rp all this out... but I can if desired.

The letter Naroth carries is correspondence from another of the wizard’s Lissalan allies, who informs him that the ally’s followers have discovered the location of Krune’s runic archive and will soon have the keywords to activate the refuge tokens.
I know the rules you have listed, but the solution is pretty simple.
The letter basically tells you that the keywords are from somewhere else, but you know that here is where they were coming for the refuge tokens.
This is an Artifact though, and there is no blindly activating of it.

Based off everyones actions you all completed your faction mission, personal recommendation is to mark/hurt yourself get as many tokens as you can, although at this point mission accomplished once you've got like 6 or so.
anyone that hasn't done their rolls go ahead and do so.
Before I complete your sheets, your characters during the journey back will all have a opportunity to wear the evil ioun stone. (this determines if I check you as getting the free ioun stone or not)
Your characters know it's evil before they put it on, they also know it'll grant a great boon.

mechanically speaking, you can simply get an atone cast for you (increased cost for the clerics/paladins) and you're fine. Once you wear it your alignment will shift, and if you are evil you turn your character over.
I'll let you write in your feat you select when you activate it, I'll work on making the sheets tonight, but the scanning of the sheets might end up waiting until later in the week when my scanner is unpacked.

alrighty, I've got things straight now, I realize I didn't initial the day job roll, please fill that in yourself and if anyone asks just explain the situation please.
The URL to your sheet is Here, I've scanned it to google drive and provided an open access link
I hope you guys ultimately enjoyed it, and if you decide to wear the ioun stone, your alignment shifts one to evil.
IE if you were Neutral, you're now evil and not eligible for PFS. The only way to correct this is to have Atonement cast at the appropriate prestige cost (two except for paladins/clerics I believe)
