Allen, B.C. and Redgar succumb to the effects of the Stinking Cloud and begin hacking and retching as the vacate the clouds area of effect.
Edgar notices the spell being cast from the scroll yelling out to the team ”Seems like they might be bringing more to the party!” casting his own spell giving the man a glimpse of what is to come.
Cursing Desna for his rotten luck Anduris attempts to assist Odo with a pincer attack move.
Stepping up Odo’s Scimitar finds its home and leaves a red trail across the cultits arm.
Joaquin unleashes a barrage of attacks on the Cultists in Yellow, although he would make his old weapons master proud with such a display, his sword only finds its home once.
See that the enemy combatants are human Daniel fires his arrow which finds it new home in the side of the Cultist causing him to falter slightly.
The Red clothed Cultist shakes off the glimpse into his future, his concentration falters enough that he is unable to complete the summoning. Retreating between the columns he tries yet again to cast from a scroll.
The Cultists clad in yellow moves between the pues casting a spell waggling two fingers at Joaquin Covering him in a thick sticky web.
The Magenta tries to retreat around the column and starts casting a similar spell at Andruis covering the area he is in with a sticky web as well.

Daniel steps up and analyzes the enemies movement and weak points, picking out the best spot for a volley of arrows. Pulling the sharp pointy sticks of death out of his quiver in quick succession, he fires three at where he thinks the enemy is located and then growls out, "YOU MADE MY FRIEND THROW UP! AFTER I PUT THESE ARROWS THROUGH YOUR EYEBALLS, KNOW THAT YOUR BODY WILL BE USED TO WIPE IT UP AND THEN TOSSED IN THE TRASH!"

Joaquin thinks to himself as the sticky strands of webbing appear around him, "I hope that Cloak of Resistance comes in handy now!"
Joaquin is faced with several choices now as he is not stuck, but will have to move through Difficult Terrain to reach his opponent but if he tries to shoot an arrow, Yellow has cover and his miss chance which gives him three chances to be missed. Plus I would have to drop the sword and shield, get out the bow, nock an arrow, and then shoot.
Joaquin steps forward to menace Yellow!
'HReck'
Continuing to empty the bile within, Allen struggles after his minion, landing with a thud next to Edgar.
Remembering the detailed descriptions of a book named Meaney Modd and Meat pies Redgar retching further moves to block any escape made by the cultist in combat with Joaquin.
Pressing the Advance on the Cultist in Magenta Robes Odo cuts wide with his simitar thinking the blade touches flesh when the Displacement effect shows it self and he sees he is two feet from his mark.
Daniel Launches a volley of shots at the Cultists in Red Robes hoping to take him down before he is able to cast the spell on that scroll. One such arrows pierces the veil of Displacement hitting him squarely in the shoulder near his Jugular vein causing him to real back ending his Arcane speak, but his second and third arrows sadly do not find there mark.
Joaquin Steps forward walking through the Webbing but is unable to make it much farther than his next step.
Edgar eyeing the Cultist in Red begins cackling and pushing a mental projection on him.
Dodging the webbing Anduris moves about to get into range of the Cultist.
The Cultist's forms begin to waiver slightly and begin to show fully in one place.
The Cultist in Red robes limps to the back of the hall and attempts to cast from the scroll for a third time.
Realizing he is stuck between a rock and a hard place between Anduris and Odo the Cultist in Magenta Robes takes a quick step back in between the column and a wall feeling he would be better off there. and then continues further to escape the the divine duo.
The Cultist in yellow robe steps back from Joaquin and begins casting a spell pulling some dust and a small vial of water from his pouch, gesturing towards the main area of the cathedral a great storm appears in the center
Driving sleet blocks all sight (even darkvision) within it and causes the ground in the area to be icy. A creature can walk within or through the area of sleet at half normal speed with a DC 10 Acrobatics check. Failure means it can’t move in that round, while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Acrobatics skill for details). The sleet extinguishes torches and small fires.

Unable to see very far in front of his face, Odo seethes. "Blast and bebother these spellcasters!" Then he carefully starts off in the direction of the cultist's flight.
But his feet cannot find sufficient purchase on the slickened flagstones to make any progress. Stymied, he at least calls on his divine powers to heal his wounds.
|
Stumbling blindly forward over the now icy terrain, Edgar holds his symbol of the blessed Pharasma high. "Silence mongrel! In Pharasma's name, I order you to cease this!"
A black shimmering light erupts from the human man, unseen by the others and rockets outward. The shimmering light engulfs the red clad thug, but somehow manages to skirt around BC and Daniel.

Daniel moves forward quickly, trying to remember exactly where he saw the red roach skitter away hiding. He trusts his natural balance to keep him from slipping as he pulls his Warhammer to squash a bug. "Here little cultist... come out come out... wherever you aaaarrreeee!"
for
Edgar calls upon Pharisma's power sending out a wave of negative energy blanketing the area about him. Pharsima shields Edgar's allies as the wave envlopes the Cultist.
The Cultist is Red falters with the uttering of the scrolls wording stopping him in his casting.
Allen might have just upchucked on Edgar but with the Sleet storm no one whould know.
Joaquin Struggles with the Webbing but is still at an impass with the sticky strands.
The ice covered floor proves problematic for the Paladin as he chooses to let the Dawnflowers light wash over him healing his wounds.
Moving through the storms area Daniel sees the cultist right on the edge. He no longer hears the cultist speaking, he feels satisfied that the cultist has been halted in his casting a third time.
Redgar closes the gap between he and the Cultist in Yellow Robes coating the man in spittle as he belches along the way.

"Oi, me friend Odo go catch that worm. I be built fer tha long run...all this nimble scampering is not fer me."
Anduris moves forward several feet and touches Odo enhancing him with quickness.
As a standard action, you can expend 1 point of mental focus to grant supernatural quickness and reflexes to yourself or a willing living creature you touch.
This functions as haste, but the bonus to AC and on Reflex saving throws increases to +2. This effect lasts for 1 round per occultist level you possess. You must be at least 5th level to select this focus power.
Anduris grants Odo a brief boost of speed to harry the retreating cultist.
The Cultist in yellow looks about and begins casting a spell
Able to concentrate hard enough to cast a spell he points a finger past Redgar and says "Sleep"
The Cultist in Red takes a 5 foot step and begins to cast a spell at Daniel
to which he is unable to do so and fumbles with the casting.
The Cultist in Magenta moves struggles to walk through the Sleet Storm
all falls prone.

Hearing the arcanic utterance of another spell, Edgar frowns. "I told you to give it up!"
Stumbling a few feet forward through the driving sleet, he holds his token high again. "Our Lady of the Grave, please show this soulless man no quarter. He has been warned! I beseech you to protect me and mine from your judgment."
The black energy of the void beyond wells up within the witch and again erupts outward, spreading as it goes.

Daniel let's loose a deep guffaw as the cultist flusters and fails to cast again. He deftly moves out of the icy storm and swings his Warhammer. He yells out, "B.C., get over here!"
It's not visible, but the little raptor scurries over with the command and stands next to his master, though still nauseous and unable to do anything else.

Edgar calls upon Pharisma yet again asking she bring the Cultist is Red closer to meeting her, yet keeping his allies safe.
Daniel follows after the Crimson robbed leading the way with his warhammer yet he hits the wall above the cultist’s head.
Redgar finds a comfy spot on the floor to lay down his head. Whild Joaquin takes the opportunity to swing his sword down across the Cultist in Yellow’s back tearing a gastly gouge in the mans back.
Anduris closes ground towards the one in Magenta. Attempting to follow Anduris Odo slides on the icy floor and pulls himself back up.

The Cultist in Red being riddled with arrows falls to the ground uttering his final breath.
The Storm begins to die down spinning slower and slower until eventually you are able to see across the cathedral again.
Allen, B.C. and Redgar no longer feel nauseated any longer.
As the body of the Yellow Cultist falls forward from Joaquins attack the force of it falling lands on Redgar walking him from his deep slumber.

Restful slumber having cleared Redgar's head (and tummy), he adopts a more thoughtful attitude. [i]Hmm. It isn't clear who these cultists are working for. I wonder if we should take the last one alive?[i]
Proceeding to the next nearest cultist, Redgar remarks: Thank you for the power nap, 'friend'. Now it is time to return the favour!

Rubbing his eyes as the storm subsides, Edgar reevaluates the situation. Seeing the numerous bodies laying about, he smiles. "Well, seems we've done alright. Would have been better to be more efficient...quicker, but I'll take it."
Noticing the final cultist, he scurries to the opposite side of the room. "You have two choices now sir. Surrender and give up your knowledge, or join the others in the abyss!"
Wiping his beak with a soggy wing, Allen frowns. 'Well, that was a bit much...' he considers.
With a flying somersault, he swiftly joins Edgar on the opposite side of the room.
Redgar notices the cultist in yellow who fell on him is still breathing very heavily but stable.
Joaquin, Odo and Aduris close the gap on the Cultist in Magenta Robes, Odo deals a heavy blow.
Edgar and Allen attempt to extend a small offer of life or death to the cultist but the cultist looks mad eyed and follows with a response of his own...
...But his spell fizzles out mid cast.

Daniel moves up, motioning for B.C. to follow as he slips past. Watching the cultist frantically still trying to delay their chase, he aims and fires another arrow.

B.C. follows along behind.
The raven wheels around, preparing for more combatants. With a nod to those in melee, he orders "Do your worst! Show him his mistake."
As the assembled group of pathfinders runs out of the Cathedral headed after the assassin that did in the proctor you look about. Regar Anduris and Daniel notice the Assassin making way some 90 feet ahead of you getting ready to head down a side street.
You head off after her and start chasing after the assassin.
A character may attempt to move three squares during his turn by taking a full-round action. That character must overcome both obstacles on the square he is leaving. In this case, if a character fails either obstacle check by 5 or less, he only moves one square forward and his turn ends. If a character fails either obstacle check by more than 5, he cannot move at all that turn.
A character unfortunate enough to fail two obstacle checks in a turn becomes mired in his current square. A mired character must spend another full-round action becoming unmired, effectively losing his next turn. A character can also choose to make a ranged attack or cast a spell during his turn in a chase. If the action is a full-round action, he can’t move at all. Use the number of squares and their established distances (in this case, 30 feet) to determine ranges as necessary. The terrain where the chase takes place might provide the target partial or even full cover or concealment. A character can only choose to make melee attacks against targets that are in the same square.
Trying to get a feel for the crowd Odo attempts to weave in and out of throng of people but find him self stuck between a rather large backer and a butcher in a heated argument.
Daniel however pushes his way through the group of citizens and knocking over a few others he moves forward after the Assassin, B.C. attempts to follow behind Daniel but the gather masses are to strong for him to push through.
