There will be an overseer post very soon: where do you want to go to? Top, middle or bottom ?
edit: in this case very soon was within 30 seconds.

Where have we not been?
We've been to none of these spots. We didn't have clearance to be in Skyreach before.
"I will go wherever you wish, friends. Let's strike these Aspis agents a massive blow!" says Balinor in an effectively strongly stated way that avoids any and all decision making. Having grown up as the "bodyguard" for his sorcerous siblings, he's never really been the decision-maker.

*exasperated sigh* "Well then, I suggest we shoot for the top!"

You quickly make your way to the tapestry chamber, line up in front of it and open the door. It is dark in the room.
The table at the center of this rectangular room is completely contained within a rune-inscribed circle set into the floor. Atop the table lies a Kelishite man’s body, spread-eagled and bloodstained. At the far end of the chamber hangs a ragged tapestry torn down its center. A peaceful wood with trampled undergrowth is visible through the tear, though the tapestry
clearly hangs against a solid wall. Four of the owl-like Syrinxes stand around the table, speaking in their own tongue. Although they all seem similar and these also carry the five-star symbol around their neck you see that these are not the same as those you met in Starhall. Once the door is opened they look up and immediately four hands fly to their five star symbols

"Oh, dear. I always knew that man would have an untimely demise."
Can someone move me just inside the room and one square down?
Undaunted, the Inspector moves forward, drawing his shortbow as he does so, and lets loose an arrow (at Red).

Balinor moves 20 ft forward while pulling his wand of shield from his bandolier. He activates it while shouting at the owl things, "I will cut you down, foul beasts!"
His intention, of course, is to draw their attention to himself to protect his allies.

I'm on a phone and can't, would someone please move that circle for bright light back some layers? We can't move our tokens. I'm moving up and left of the green, and attacking.

The Inspector scores first blood! Balinor improves his defences while Girzog misses.
The three syrinxes suddenly become six syrinxes as each of them appears to be in two places at once. All six move their hands again and a foul, dark sheen seems to cover their quarterstaves
Rilia starts inspiring the other pathfinders to find their courage and do something about this intrusion.

"More owl men?"
..."and these look less friendly too."
Thomas shrugs, while he moves closer he draws his shortbow.

Balinor moves forward and attacks the red owl person.

Balinor slices one of the owl-persons in two equal parts, unfortunately it was a mirror image...

That's okay might be a greater greatsword than you think--check the damage die.

Girzog begins to rage and continues his assault on the green owlbeast.
Claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Damage: 1d3 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

If the owl dies, I also 5ft step into his square to give blue a better target.

"These must not be the creatures that are responsible for this mess. Perhaps they are their chicks."
The Inspector moves through the pillars to take an unobstructed shot at [yellow].

Girzog flies into a rage and savages the owlthing, proving that raven are superior to owl. The Inspector misses his shot. Three of the owls disappear again.
The three remaining syrinxes say something to eachother in their language, three hands move to their unholy symbols and three clouds of darkness roll down, disappearing as fast as they came! Two of the owls then summon another copy of themselves.

Maintaining the dramatic tension in her performance she snaps her whip at one of the syrinxes.
"I know it seem like they have numbers but it's just a trick to cover their fear at being discovered."

Girzog turns towards the nearby owl, and begins to focus his outbursts on it.
Claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Damage: 1d3 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Claw: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Well on the upside, between a hit and what has to be a close it, surely that stupid blue is either dead or imageless! If rage didn't give temp HP I'd be hurting lol.

Girzog first kills the illusionary double and then the actual owl!
First claw was a near miss, destroying a mirror image
The Inspector shows why combat is not his thing...

Balinor eyes the (red) owlbeast knowing full well that his strike should have vanquished it. "Your foul trickery will not save you this time!" he bellows, swinging his mighty blade.
Greatsword: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
damage: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 1) + 8 = 11
Wow, really messed up having a d20 damage in the first attack. Thanks for calling it to my attention, all, as I almost did the same things again. I need more sleep.

And indeed, Balinor slays the owl-beast!
The last unholy priest kicks a chair away, raises his arms to the sky and the dark miasma rolls down, enveloping you all! After that another body double appears.

The Inspector pulls out an Alchemist Fire and steps forward 5 feet.
Can someone please move me diagonally toward the yellow owl 1 square?
"Let's see exactly how loyal they are to the Lord of Hell."
Ranged Touch, Inspired: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Balinor, myself and the Yellow Owl take 1 fire damage.
"Ah. Yes. Fairly loyal. And blessed. Carry on."

The inspector throws his flask and manages to drop it just short of the owl-creature, splashing both Balinor and the beast. Strange enough the body double winks out of existence!
Inspector I don't think you splash yourself, I have marked the map where I think the flask lands (unless it somehow splashes 10 ft). And did you include inspire courage? It is important...

It splashes me, too. I can't move my avatar on my phone.
I should have 4 damage on myself: 1 from Channel #1, 1 from Channel #2, 1 from Channel #3, and 1 from splash.
Inspire Courage doesn't increase the splash damage of mundane alchemical weapons, like my Alchemist Fire. If I were an Alchemist throwing a Bomb, it would.

GMG |

I missed the step forward. Inspire Courage should (imo) increase to hit. Question was if you had taken that into account. I have adjusted your damage

The Inspector's dice bot is contagious. From now on I'm using Balinor's dice.
