Ah well. It's a pity; archers are really great around 6th & 7th level, so I was looking forward to driving him. But it's not a fun game unless there is danger, and I knew what I was getting myself into by getting in his line of sight. Just try to keep his body somewhere safe, if you can!
I guess I just come back in a few months and pick up my cash and prestige...
Someone might have it memorized or a potion of remove.. I dont but someone might..
I'm following this game more closely than any of my others, despite being a lump of flesh on the ground. Certainly is a page turner.

Might not have enough range, what with the pit being 40' deep, though I guess she could climb up into short range with her Prehensile Whip trait.
Most likely is she'll sit at the bottom and chill out for a minute or so or until someone lowers a rope. If something bad happens up there like a guardalanche, she can try her one shot at dispel magic with a 1/3 chance of success...
Hey, if anyone has a moment in there can they confirm that Scrillion's body is in a safe-ish place? Or move him so he is?
And, nice job getting through that.

Hey Cthonic, I figured out how to get you back into that action and attacking again!
...while paralyzed. :D
I cast Fly on you, for which movement is a purely mental action. Then you fly 20-30 feet above the enemy and drop on them for falling damage!
You could also, y'know...escape. That's a thing too.

Their is no FaQ on that but there have been a lot of questions and hears what i gather from it..
You can make purely mental actions, such as casting stilled & silenced spells, using Sla's, or using Psionics..
It states in the spell description a paralyzed bird falls, but the fly spell has no wings.. The spell also states that it takes no more effort to fly than it does walk..
So is walking a mental action? There is obviously physical movement with walking but is what makes it happen physical? Or is it your mind? IMO walking forms from a Mental action, so can you use a fly spell while paralyzed? I would rule yes you can..
Not all pathfinder rules have been FaQ'd and there is some interpretation allowed for PFS GM's.. It is not always cut and dry RAW.. Sometimes you have to make a table ruling on things..
You also have to ask is the party in question trying to abuse something, or is he trying to keep his paralyzed character from being killed? In this instance if it were me, I would rule he could use a fly spell to move himself around mentally and avoid a coup de grace..

Looking at the various rules discussions, I think that parafly doesn't work because the subject of the Fly spell is still subject to carrying capacity (strength) and the Paralyzed condition says that you have an effective Strength of 0:
Paralyzed: A paralyzed character is frozen in place and unable to move or act. A paralyzed character has effective Dexterity and Strength scores of 0 and is helpless, but can take purely mental actions.
Extra credit for trying to make me Cannonball, anyway. Fun idea... those pesky mechanics always get in the way of a good tromp.

Not that it will matter within the scenario, but yes, she had a spellbook on the table where the black candle was.
4th—crushing despair, dimension door, summon monster IV
3rd—heroism, invisibility sphere, spiked pit, summon monster III, vampiric touch
2nd—create pit, glitterdust), scorching ray, see invisibility, web, acid arrow, summon monster II
1st—grease, mage armor, magic missile, protection from evil, ray of enfeeblement, shield, alarm, color spray, summon monster I
0 —acid splash, daze, detect magic, light
Still need your action for this round though.

Hopefully we can get out of here without any more fights or trouble.. I think we have at least two Riftwardens (the woman who was chained up and the man who wrote "rift" with his own blood, right?), and the guard may well come despite us bluffing successfully. Ranus would definately be against a full assault on the compound, particurarly with Scrillion down and Aestrid without a symbol.
This has definately been an interesting scenario though! Divine casters of all shades are in trouble, a stealthy approach and freeing some slaves without raising alarms, and the whole bath scene business. Potentially very dangerous.. but definately outside the standard hack'n'slash.

Aestrid bought a contraband wooden symbol, which is how she has been able to cast and channel so far.
And yes...this is definitely not your regular murder-hobo-squad mission. In fact, I'll tell you guys just how badly this could have gone (apart from a party wipe) once this is over, assuming it does not happen (at this stage, it looks unlikely).
