no need for a miss, Hakime would have activated your wand for you and any healing needed by others as well... just let me know if you need charges off my wand or have your own.
Hakime moves out of what she fears might be fireball formation and shoots at the human in the rear.

Dusk moves N, N, N, N, NE, N, and slashes at blue with his gladius, not using Pirahna strike in favor of accuracy.
1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
If this attack hits, and if Dusk is able to sneak attack him, Dusk will activate his studied target as an immediate action. Damage:1d6 + 7 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 7 + (4, 6) = 20
If Dusk cannot sneak attack his target, he cannot use studied target as an immediate action, so the damage is less. Damage:1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Activate flight and move 60' to the left side, high enough to be out of reach. I'm trying to avoid an air burst fireball that might hit the others. I'll update map when I get to a kb.

You’ll believe a halfling can fly, as Dusk barrel-rolls 15’ up into the air. double-fly
While Ilwynog guards the rear, Squeeze charges forward and successfully puts the bite on Red/Brown. The serpent follows this up by winding himself around the foot-soldier like a spring.
Red/Brown is grappled. I believe he has to be adjacent to grapple, Toro?
Blue Fort DC 16:1d20 ⇒ 18
Not to be outdone, Squeeze’s master charges Blue-eyes. The druid’s double-blow knocks the stupid grin off the youth’s face, but doesn't manage to stun him.

I’m going to give Sifvery a little time because of the website issues.
I’ll update again in 10 hours or so (website permitting)

Yep, site problems are killing me! I can occasionally get in, only to lose access when posting. And it seems by changing to a new computer from time to time helps. I figure it has to be some bad DNS entries or a routing issue of some wort. Very frustrating!
Sifvery moves in to get a better shot, and fires off an arrow at Red.

C'mon Whiskers, we gotta get in there.
Wembly urges Whiskers forward and to the left, then casts HASTE on the party (outlined in purple on the map...I think he can reach all but 2 of the party...maybe not Squeeze either).
Dusk’s twin thrusts catch Blue under the chin. Both blades rip through the thin skin underneath.
One shatters the man’s jaw hinge, before shearing off half an ear on exit. The second continues upwards through his tongue and the roof of his mouth, though Dusk pulls back before the blade penetrates his brain. The humanoid collapses into the courtyard dirt, as Dusk advances a step.
Wembly decides to fight fire with fire! Or rather, haste with haste …

Hakime’s first arrow nose-dives into the dirt beside Toro, while her second turns the wooden “I” sprouting from Uktar’s upper arm into a “V”.
The paladin's victim responds by launching a fireball centered roughly on Whiskers, which explodes like a screaming efreet in the ears of Dusk, Hakime, Toro, Squeeze, Wembly and Whiskers. The angry golden ball narrowly misses collecting Sifvery as well!

Fool’s antics through the air are something Uktar wishes he could unsee. The witch’s patron twists the wish, causing cataracts to grow over the spell-caster’s eyes.
The halfling's trajectory takes him further to the left.
Uktar’s blindness slows him sufficiently for Sifvery’s frost ray to *smack* him in the face like a cold cream pie.
Erastil Smiles on His upholder, as Hakime avoids most of the flaming spell.

As Dusk attempts to avoid the worst of the magical fire, his foot slips on a loose flagstone. Off-balance, he offers a desperate prayer to Findeladlara, who apparently smiles on the elf's plight, and turns the stumble into a spin away from the worst of the flames.
Wembly will cast glitterdust on the caster (DC17) then Whiskers delays no longer and dashes around Dusk and up the stairs, trying to bite the burning madman.
Like some weird symmetry is demanded by Forces from the Great Beyond, Squeeze evades the fireball, while Toro is fully engulfed - as was the case with Wembly + Whiskers!
Delaying Toro + Squeeze
That loose flagstone was all a part of the Elven Arch-Architect’s Grand Design for Dusk.
Whiskers’ bite somehow misses the blind pyromaniac, who *scoffs* at Fool’s reasonable request that he surrender.
@Wembly, Uktar is currently blinded by Fool’s spell. Do you want to double-down with glitterdust or do something different with your turn?
Brown eyes gets an arm loose and tries to sever the Nope Rope named Squeeze.

I have two questions. Is the scimitar slayer guy still grappled? Does being grappled prevent him from taking attacks of opportunity? If the answer to both of these questions is "yes" then...
Dusk uses his hasted movement to advance to a flanking position with Wembly and Whiskers (moving NW, W, W, NW). After hearing Uktar's refusal to surrender, Dusk attacks Uktar with his gladius.
Single attack, no Pirahna Strike:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
If the attack hits, and Dusk is able to sneak attack Uktar, then Dusk will activate his studied target against Uktar as an immediate action. If for some reason, Uktar ignores sneak attack, please remove the 2d6+2 from the damage.
If the answer to either of my above questions is "no" then Dusk will move N, NW and attack Uktar. Everything should resolve the same, except Dusk will be in a different spot. Sorry for the lengthy post. I just wanted my thoughts and intentions listed in case the site stops working for me again.

Toro screams That pisses me off mate, quit while you have a chance! Meanwhile Squeeze appreciates the fireproof scales that Toro told him about (snakes are notoriously gullible).
Squeeze continues to maintain his grapple, squeezing the life out of his attacker. Grapple:1d20 + 20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 20 + 1 = 29Damage:1d4 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Toro charges up the stairs with his supernatural speed (thanks to haste). Unarmed Strike:1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15
Sorry for the delay, the website issues got me out of my groove. If Toro was hasted at the time of the Reflex save (can't recall on the run and will read up later), then he would (just barely) make the save on the fire, taking only 11. Correct?

Wembly will keep glitterdust to double-down on blindness, but also to prevent any sneaking off shenanigans by the caster. Toro, haste would have been active just prior to the fireball, I believe, so +1 applies (or at least I included it for my 2, moot as it may have been).
Despite his burns, Wembly calls out to the blinded caster.
You are in a bad spot and should surrender before we are forced to permanently injure you.
With brown-eyes busy snake-wrangling, Dusk moves unimpeded into position to flank with Whiskers. The elf's gladius sinks deep into the blind sorcerer’s gut, rupturing his bowels.
Toro SCREAMED not wrote:
That pisses me off mate!
Uktar remains defiant as he sinks to one knee.
“Really? How do you think I feel when a frenzied mob invades my home, seeking to kill my quee…”
THWAP! THWAP! THWAP!
A trio of Hakime’s wooden shafts to the back of Uktar's throat, silences the argument.
Sorry, Toro. +1 dodge from haste does mean you only take half damage from the fireball.
Toro’s beloved AC manages to drape a coil around the surviving bodyguard’s neck. A slow squeeze is all that is required to crack a vertebrae near the base of the man’s skull, bringing this phase of the Battle of Crystalcrag to a close.

Yo Fool, when you float down here do you mind helping out with this wand? These burns are not what I was going for in this outfit. Toro inspects Squeeze, making sure his partner wasn't seriously injured or that his fire protection scales were damaged.

Dusk gets out his new wand of clw and gets someone in the party to use it on him.
clw:3d8 + 3 ⇒ (7, 2, 3) + 3 = 15 clw:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 clw:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Dusk is fully healed and ready to go. He will put away the wand and draw his blades before moving on.

Sifvery finds all of the party’s opponents are dead. The sorcadin concludes the blue-eyed ifrit was reduced to ash by Uktar’s fireball.
Hakime:
I only had you down 6hp from the last fight. So feel free to save two wand charges :)
Wembly perceives no immediate danger in the palace’s Entry Hall. Similarly, nothing within range exhibits an arcane aura.
Two large solid bronze columns flank a set of brass double doors set into the northern wall, while short hallways extend to the east and west. The wall hangings and artwork in this chamber are particularly elaborate – probably displayed to impress upon visitor’s Tygora’s wealth and power.
Indeed, on closer examination the bronze ‘columns’ to the north are carved into statues of winged angels. The gifted artist has detailed tears running down both their cheeks.
Knowledge (planes) DC 15:
The statues are carved to look like Monadic devas, stoic watchers and messengers to the Elemental Planes.
Feel free to place yourselves wherever you like in the uncovered space.

Well, there is no welcoming committee in here. I wonder which of these doors leads to the queen bee...
or ifrit or whatever. Bees would look totally different.
And definitely not do well with all this fire.
Although I have heard of swarms of hellish wasps....but then again those are not bees.
Scorch and claw marks blemish this room’s once-burnished bronze walls.
Two iron stakes have been planted into the ground, each attached to a heavy iron chain and even thicker collars. Two roasted humanoid corpses lie in the middle of the room. One was an exceptionally large and muscular male. The other was a much shorter female, just as broad across shoulder and chest.
Knowledge (arcana) or Heal DC 20:
The humanoids were probably the victims of a flaming breath weapon.

Dusk will search door A for traps, again taking 10 for a 26 perception. He will also listen at the door. When the party is ready, Dusk will open the door if there are no traps.
Dusk plans to search and listen at doors A, D, E, then C, unless the party advises otherwise.
