Frustrated that her efforts so far have failed 322 moves around the corner and tries a last time to hold the caster.
Rataji draws his crossbow and proceeds around the corner.
Round 2 (continued)
Zurnzal blinks and clears the last fo the dust from his eyes.
Marnarius runs around the corner and fires twice at Bellock, hitting once.
Jolyrin clears the blindness from her eyes.
322 moves around the corner and tries once again to hold the caster. Amazingly, 322's spell fails to find purchase yet again.
Rataji draws his crossbow and proceeds around the corner.
Yute casts another spell at the party, and a tiny meteor streaks from her outstretched hand towards 322, exploding in a ball of fire!
The unconscious body of Zem is also badly scorched.
Yute then runs down the stairs, disappearing from sight (no line of sight, but still line of effect).
Bellock runs down the stairs after her, still screaming for help.
End of Round 2! Everyone declare your actions.
Thanks for her experience Shohiraj dodge all the fireball .
In hopes to be able to see soon, she double moves to catch the fleeing pathfinders before it's too late.
"Tie him up but make sure he survives. I need a witness to complete these ruse..."
Leader makes a choice he hopes he doesn't regret later. He casts Haste on the party as the Professional runs by. It would not do to have their cover blown this early. Make sure they don't get away!
Now hasted 322 moves a full 60' in pursuit and casts a forth Hold person on the quite resistant woman in a final attempt to try to participate in this fight.
Round 4
The Professional dashes blindly after the fleeing Pathfinders, trusting to her balance to keep her safe. She manages to clear her vision, and only stumbles slightly on the stairs going down, but manages to keep her footing.
Zurnzal says, "Tie him up but make sure he survives. I need a witness to complete these ruse..." but otherwise takes no actions.
Marnarius delays.
Jolyrin casts a spell, and partially disappears, but the fine coating of golden dust allows everyone to see where she is.
Rataji casts haste, affecting everyone except the Professional.
322 delays for a second, until Rataji casts his spell, and then sprints down the hall. When she catches sight of the woman, she casts another spell.
Yute steps back and invokes another spell, throwing two bolts of fire at The Professional! Luckily, both go wide as panic shows in her eyes. She funmbles at her belt and pulls out a scroll.
Bellock runs.
End of round 4 - everyone is up! Marnarius and Zurnzal are on delay and can jump in anytime.
After feeling the haste spell take hold, Zurzal chases after the group.
"Where do you think you are going, missy?"
Round 5 (partial)
Zurnzal chases after the fleeing duo, neatly tripping the woman and dumping her unceremoniously on the passage floor.
Everyone else is up!
The Professionnel thanks to Rataji spell moves faster than expected and place herself in front of the fleeing pathfinder.
Stop
Even knowing that she will never catch the fleeing pathfinder, Shohiraj tries her best and moves at full speed.
Stop, or we will kill your friend !
Round 5 (continued)
The Professional pursues the fleeing Bellock. "Stop, or we will kill your friend!"
Bellock looks back, an angry snarl escaping his lips. "Oh, will you?" he retorts, and charges back towards The Professional, sword held high.
Jolyrin casts frigid touch and runs up to the woman, slashing her as she lies prone. The combination of an accurate strike and the elemental force of both fire and cold finishes the spellcaster, and she ceases to move.
Marnarius runs forward until he can see a target, but can't fire this round
Rataji is up!
Rataji races after the (no longer) fleeing pathfinder.
Round 5 (end)
Rataji races after the (no longer) fleeing pathfinder.
End of the round! Everyone declare your actions, it's unlikely the precise timing will matter much due to the odds.
322 moves 60 in a single move and fires a ray of Sickening at the remaining target but fumbles the shot.
Rataji moves up to the man and tries to touch his shoulder
Your combined attacks bring the man to a halt, and he collapses, unconscious. The woman is definitely dead, so you have two unconscious prisoners to deal with.
Marnarius, we must stay at least one agent alive, to believe he was betrayed by another pathfinder. You can kill this one.
Says The Professionnal looking at Bellock.
Nevertheless, I will clean up our tracks with this she adds showing a strange powder.
Once Marnarius and her deal with the corps and tracks she says
Let's move on ! We have a job to do.
322 casts detect magic and removes any items with magical aura from the three. There might be something here we can use. she explains.
Yute, the caster, has several magical items on her person:
Plus 3 tanglefoot bags. She is currently dead.
Zem, the archer, has the following magical items:
Plus: masterwork chain shirt, masterwork buckler, masterwork battleaxe, dagger, 40 arrows, cold iron arrows (10), alchemical silver arrows (10).
He is currently unconscious.
Bellock has a pair of magical lenses
You continue on towards the Antarnicus Wing. The basements descend into subbasements beneath Skyreach, in turn spiraling out like hollow roots to cryptic galleries hidden where few Pathfinders tread. There the Society stores countless artifacts, magic items, priceless works of art, and unique texts—especially those they want to keep safe and out of villains’ hands.
The Antarnicus Wing is clearly labeled from the outside by a brass plaque inscribed with large letters, though no further signs indicate what is contained within. The door is made of strong wood and is securely locked. It radiates a mixed aura of abjuration, necromantic, and evocation magic.
What do you do?
Rataji names each item after a quick inspection. If someone doesn't claim them he tucks then away.
Let's move.
Rataji waves the Professional up. Be careful. There is magic at work in addition to the lock.
Let me handle it, Rataji. It's my job.
Shohiraj looks around to find traps.
Finding nothing she asks Are you sure there is something here ?
Rataji sighs. Positive. Try again.
On Rataji "suggestion" Shohiraj tries again.
"Is anyone damaged? Our task is not likely to get any easier from here."
Earlier
Yute, the caster, has several magical items on her person:
I am unsure what that wand is, but the other is a fully charged wand of Shocking Grasp. That bow is a +1 composite longbow (+3 Str), and those cusps are Eyes of the Eagle. If the Professional is not wearing something similar she should wear them.
Those items you could not identify are a powerful wand of magic missile (CL 5, 50 charges); scrolls of fly (2), invisibility (2), and minor image (2). If anyone wants the scrolls they can have them. I would prefer to keep the wand.
This one will claim the scrolls of Invisibility.
Before the door is opened 322 casts Shield of Faith on herself, boosting her AC to 21, and also casts Deathwatch.
