Sharton activates his greater invisibility as a swift action and plunges into the fog. He double move flies to the far side, moving to about 30 feet up assuming the ceiling in this giant-sized building allows it, and does a quick glance around. On the next round he'll probably cast arcane sight to analyze the sphere, unless the battle requires his attention (which seems unlikely if there are only three giants).

Not overly worried about the giants Ezern casts Detect Magic and studies the sphere.
Ezren, I still have you on the map in the Pagoda chamber outside the room; the golden sphere is more than 60 feet away from you for detect magic to catch it. Did you want to adjust your position?

Around the western corner of the stairs leading up to the globe, a huge sized lamia strides confidently into view. She wields a wicked looking dagger, as do the eight duplicates of her that move eerily in unison around her, while streams of ghost-like entities swirl about her on an unseen breeze. "Your quest ends here, fools. You will never reach my master! Die!" the lamia almost screams the last part as she points a finely manicured finger in the direction of Ezren, causing a hazy field of purple energy to start manifest around the wizard!

The burgeoning deadly magic dissipates harmlessly against the side of Ezren's force sphere, much to the lamia's annoyance.
Jebediah's assault only lands his two talon attacks, dealing sizable gashes upon the giant's body.

Shump, on my last map image I have your position at UR J-8; which puts you 100 feet away from the lamia. Currently, I show you at 20 foot move speed plus the 30 from Fervor. You would have to double move if you want to reach her. Let me know if you do something else instead.
The cloud giants look uncertainly at the dinosaur of death that pounced forward as they heft their huge morningstars. "The beast is a lost cause until I remove his protections. Attack the large half-orc first!" the lamia calls out to them. The giants shift their attention to Grognar, adjust forward a bit, and attack; while the one in the back maneuvers around for a better position to throw at rock at the half-orc. After their attacks, only one giant manages to slip a strike past Grognar's defenses.

The squares are 10 foot squares, huge sized creatures overlap into adjacent ones due to 15x15 space. I will consider it a double move for you for now.

Grognar is able to knock the cloud giant unconscious on the ground with his assault, missing on his last hit but needing all of the first four attacks to bring it down.

Your attempt will be successful...pending a Spell Resistance Roll. Please make one at your earliest convenience, target is a 29.
Your Knowledge Local check will result in the same info as the spoiler I provided above for Ezren. The only difference is that you have a slight certainty that most lamias do not possess the ability to see through fog clouds. Perhaps a Sense Motive check is in order?

The lamia does have 15 foot reach; being within touch range of Shump would also place you within her threatened area, flying back would provoke.

As the wizard begins to move away from Shump, the lamia lunges forward with one of her hands; lightly nudging Ezren on the back of his shoulder and draining away some of his willpower as she does so. She disdainfully snaps her fingers in Shump's direction, and artfully rips the displacement effect off of Shump. Not skipping a beat, the lamia then makes an assault of her own; weaving in and out with her dagger and claws in an almost dance-like fashion to attack the half-orc before her. After landing a strike with her dagger and two claw attacks, she spots an opening and forcefully touches Shump in the middle of his forehead; significantly draining away most of his willpower!
Barring any particular interventions: Ezren takes 3 points of WIS drain from the AoO, Shump takes 37 damage from three attacks and 14 points of WIS drain from the critical touch attack.

Is the Sr check for dispel magic? Dispel is Sr no unless there is something special I'm missing.
I'm not seeing displacement percential rolls for attacks on Shrump. But that could be on purpose.
If the touch attack crit still hits I think falls in to serious ally crits and Grognar with misfortune it if you will let him.

GM Irish202 |

Hmmm, I did miss dispel magic bypassing SR. That would confirm Sharton dispelling the mirror image. I did not make the displacement rolls for a reason, which can be explained in the spoiler below. Finally, Misfortune has a 30 foot range; Shump is too far away for you to be able to use that ability on the lamia's critical hit.

Three points about Ezren taking an AOO - first a large Lamia only has 5' reach so I was "hoping' that a huge one would only have 10' reach. But also, after reading your opinion on Shump's movement I believed him to be farther back than the map showed him. Lastly Ezren has 8 mirror images. It seems likely that the lamia can see through this illusion?

GM Irish202 |

I am away from my copy of the AP at the moment, so my ability to check her Stat block is limited. I pulled up the monster she is based on and it does show only 10 foot reach. I will put her AoO in abeyance for the nonce until I can confirm if it was a typo in the AP or if the GM had a Derp Moment™. Shump's current location on the map is 100 feet away from his previous location and was a double move.

Does the damage to Grognar and Shump take stoneskin into consideration? Or is that on us? So many buffs to take into consideration in high level games, my hat's off to you for GMing such a complicated module.

Having checked the AP I have, it does indeed have the lamia's reach at 15 feet. In my opinion, however, I would deem this an editorial error and will rule that she has 10 foot reach for now; saving a potential hit on Ezren and/or saving one of his mirror images. Have also adjusted for missed stoneskin.
Additionally, Shump still gets a turn due to Griff's miracle. Since the giant's action should not really affect which ever direction Shump decides to go, will just get this out of the way...
The remaining giant moves into melee combat with Grognar, requiring just enough movement to prevent him from full-attacking.

While waiting on Grognar, a little thing to clarify. Shump, you dropped your weapon for that very brief time you fell unconscious. Did you quick draw out another weapon to make those attacks, or did you pick up your weapon as a move action? The second option would leave you with only enough actions for a single attack.
