banners blue -23 HP; red -11 HP

Stab 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 231d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Heorn steps to the side while taking a small sip from his everpresent wine skin and takes a stab literally at the banner.
"Here we go. Just like a needle going through cloth."

Iovarl calls on his arcane powers to summon aid from one of the good aligned planes.

A creature shimmers into existence on the far side of the blue banner. It looks like a small vaguely humanoid creature made out of air. Small air elemental.

The air creature bashes at the banner with fists made from swirling air.

slam attack, flanking: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 2 = 19

slam attack, flanking: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Once his summoned ally is in place he moves back slightly from the press of battle so as not to get in the way too much.

Mun steps back, to have more freedom of motion with longspear. He swipes at the banner fluttering at Grubglub. Ahh, these priceless treasures!

5' step
Standard: attack red

Longspear, bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 10
Damage, P: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Selune concentrates her attention on the banner she first attacked, taking advantage of the appearance of the elemental that just appeared opposite her.

Full round: full attack vs. blue

Bite, bless, flank: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 31
Damage, S: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Claw, bless, flank: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 19

Bite Crit?: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 26
Crit damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Iovarl's little airy friend and Selune hit the blue banner until it stops moving. Mun is unable to hit the banner. Heorn stabs the red banner, damaging it a little. Grubglub delays.

The remaining banner slams into Grubglub again.
attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
It is unable to connect to the grippli.

banner -15 HP

Mun continues his assault on the banner, half hoping that he continues to miss so that he's not responsible for destroying a piece of history. Oh, Nigel, why can't you control anything that happens in your museum? This is your responsibility!

Standard: attack red

Longspear, bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 1 = 10
Damage, P: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Selune, watching the fluttering banner fall to the ground in shreds, moves over to the next. Unconcerned with matters of history or the Shining Crusade, she tears with teeth and claws in a flurry of motion.

5' step
Full round: full attack vs. red

Bite, bless, flank: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 29
Damage, S: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Claw, bless, flank: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 30
Damage, S: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Claw, bless, flank: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 29
Damage, S: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Mun is unable to hit the banner, probably because he doesn't really want to. His bear friend, however, has no such second thoughts and makes short work of the second banner.

out of combat

As the banner falls, you see what appears to be another Pathfinder walking towards you.
That's your queue, Lancyn!

Where to next, everyone? The rest of this floor, or upstairs? I'll move you on as soon as two of you agree.

With Enrique nowhere to be found the party seems to short a good solider when suddenly you can all hear a man yelling out "For the Inheritor! None shall fall while I am here." A large seven foot tall Varisian man lopes into the room Longsword in hand. Rushing forward from the door way he charges the Banner and brings his longsword down across the rampant Banner.

+1 Longsword + Charge - Power Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 8 + 2 - 2 = 14

Well boo lol was hoping to rush in

The rather tall Varisian Man salutes you all. The Mountain of a man towering at seven feet tall smiles warmly "Well Met. I am just another good man on the front lines and word of your need has reached my ears. I hope I am able to provide as much assistance as requried." a look of forgetfulness crosses the Varsian's face "How rude of me, my apologies the name is Lancyn Pendragon, Paladin of Iomedae and bearer of the chosen sword." he bows graciously his armor shines from being well oiled and taken care of.

"Might we continue on upstairs and investigate what is the cause of the disturbances in the Museum?" The Paladin motions for the stari well to the east.

"Might we not sweep and clear this level first? I would not like to rush upstairs and find downstairs joining us if you catch me drift." Heorn postures with his winesking attempting to strike a lecturing position which fails as he looks ready to fall over instead......

"Oh and well met Lancyn Pendragon." the perpetual semi drunk dwarf offers a toast with his empty hand.....

"You do a have a good point there, Don't think I caught your name." the Paladin stops mid stride up the stairs and then makes for the remaining section of the museum floor shield and sword at the ready.

You move to the remaining wing of the museum. Long shadows cast by ruined displays and broken furniture litter the floor. A humanoid-shaped figure made of shattered clockwork lies slumped over a bench. Above, an elaborately painted sign reads “Crusader’s Chronicles.”

Three guard dogs growl at you threateningly.
Not rolling initiative since you can try peaceful solutions here.

GrubGlub catches back up with the group, and as the dogs begin growling and snarling, GrubGlub holds out his hands in a peaceful nonthreatening gesture.

"Here Doggie, doggie. It's ok.. We are trying to help.. No reason to get upset.."
carefully pulls a piece of meat from a ouch on his belt normally reserved for munching while traveling and tosses it out on the floor in front of the dogs.

Untrained handle animal: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Handle animal can't be used untrained, but I will let whoever is trained in it have a +2 circumstance bonus from your action.

You are not currently in combat, so taking 10 is permitted on the handle animal check, if desired.

As the banners lie still, Lilianna pulls another wand and heals Grubglub. "Anyone else need some divine intervention?" she says with a smirk.

"That's Heorn and I am Lilianna! Devout servant of Sarenrae," she explains, offering a hand. "I agree, clearing this floor is the wisest option."

Her hand starts glowing as one of her allies approaches the guard dogs. She gently places it on their shoulder and whispers, "Remember the way of the Dawnflower is mercy for the repentant..." The wand of bless is held nervously in her hand.
________
CLW vs Grubglub: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Touch of Glory on whoever has Handle Animal trained, +4 on the check.

"Well met Lancyn. It's always good to meet another follower of Iomedae. I am Iovarl Volarin. If we weren't in such a hostile place i'd love to talk more, but i guess we had best keep moving. Heorn is right. Clearing this floor for other teams sounds the safest option."

As the group move over to the next area Iovarl re-focuses some of his arcane energies so he can be prepared to call on further celestial aid if it is needed.

Using Consume Spells with a 2nd level spell slot to put Iovarl's Arcane Reservoir back to 5 points after using 2 for the summon.

------------------------------------------------

Iovarl stays to the rear of the group and uses a wand to help protect him for physical harm. Wand of Mage Armour.

"Errrr... good doggies. Anyone good with canines? I only real deal with celestial blooded creatures, and these seem mundane and rather angry."

If it helps you guys in your roleplay, Mun is the one who is trained in handle animal.

***OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT***

A high-pitched buzz pervades the museum, rising in frequency to the point of being inaudible. A moment later, a rolling boom echoes through the museum like thunder, and the glowing wards around the museum begin to fade.

@Table GMs: The “Failing Wards” condition on page 9 is now in effect.

Just to keep you guys in the loop, the condition means that enough tables disabled the runes, and now the other encounters are a little easier.

". I'm Horn I mean Yorn...argh Heorn." Heorn coughs as he tries to answer and drink at the same time, failing miserably.

Upon meeting the dogs......
"I don't suppose making them he grog I have would count?" he asks

GrubGlub bows to the newcomer. "Thank you for your generosity, Lady. I hope to repay your service!"

I'm going to keep us moving.

Mun uses his considerable skill with animals to convince the dogs to not attack you. It seems easy considering they have been fed. He then leads the dogs outside to the garden where they will be safe.

Having cleared out all the hazards on the first floor that other Pathfinder agents do not seem to be handling, you move up the stairs.

Gears, glass, and chunks of wax litter the polished wood floor under a sign that proclaims “Scars of the Lich.” The corpse of a Kellid warrior lies in a pool of blood, her furs soaked through. A constant ticking and whirring sound echoes in this area. Three metallic creatures move towards you threateningly.

The creatures all move up close to you, ready to attack.

round 2:
metal creatures

edit:
oops, guys, sorry, I forgot the identify check

Lancyn approaches cautiously shield raised and said at the ready. "Does anyone know what these metal beasts are?"

move and ready to attack if creature attacks me or anyone else.

Edit:

You may roll your readied attack in a spoiler if you would like, Lancyn.

Thanks for the bot. Indeed, Mun is trained in HA, and due to the Torchbearing boon, is even good at it for this scenario :)

Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

"They're clockwork servants; simple constructions made by some wizard or technomancer." He holds his hand out to Selune, gripping her by the scruff of the neck as he again grants her Ashava's protection before pushing off to send her forward to attack the constructs. He follows behind, his longspear at the ready.

Standard: cast shield of faith using improved spell sharing
Free: handle animal (attack any target)
Move: 10'

Shield of faith (Mun and Selune): 2 minutes each

Selune pauses while Mun applies divine protection once more, then launches herself forward at his urging, driving at the construct in front of her.

Move: 10'
Standard: attack red

Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Damage, P: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Selune's teeth are unable to close around the metallic creature.

knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

"I believe that these things are vulnerable to electricty if you have spells that can zap them."

Iovarl calls for elemental aid once once more. This time he calls on a creature made from earth. It appears just behind the construct with a green glow and tries to smash it with all it's might!

slam attack, P. attack, flanking: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 - 1 = 29 Critical threat!

slam damage, P. attack: 1d6 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11

slam attack, P. attack, flanking: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 - 1 = 27 Critical Confirm?

slam damage, P. attack: 1d6 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 = 10

The sound of rock impacting on metal is almost deafening! Iovarl takes a few steps back while wincing slightly at the loud noise his elemental just made.

Iovarl's Summon Monster 2 list

constructs are immune to critical hits :(

I'm not sure that is the case. I know it used to be an issue under 3.5 rules but i don't see anything in the construct traits saying they cannot take critical hits.

Following standard procedure, Lilianna pulls her wand and fills her allies with that familiar warmth. "Like before, let's focus on one at a time and bring these things down!"
________
Cast Bless (+1 to hit and saves vs fear). To the extent of my knowledge and referencing the construct traits on d20pfsrd, I don't know of anything that says constructs are immune to critical hits either.

You are right about the critical hits; thank you for catching that. Serves me right for using anything other than the actual bestiary to look up construct traits...

knowledge (arcana), inspired 1d20 + 7 + 1d6 ⇒ (13) + 7 + (2) = 22

Once more the inebriated dwarf skips to the side to allow his more combat focused companions to do what they do best even as he begin telling them the creatures attack and defences.

Grubglub takes a step forward, readying his weird collection of attached staves. They whip out before him at the Greenish tinged creature in a blurred hiss of metal and wood followed almost instantaneously by the sharp retorts of impact!

Attack, Flurry: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 2 = 20
Attack, Flurry: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 - 2 = 17
Attack, Flurry: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 6 - 2 = 15

Trip: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Trip: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Trip: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Iovarl's elemental slams hard into one of the constructs, and Grubglub smashes at the same construct. The green construct falls over from Glubglub's first smash, and lies still by the time Grubglub is done.

Lilianna helps her allies, and Heorn sees what he knows.

The blue construct moves up to Lancyn and tries to smash into him.
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Lancyn was ready for him, and swipes at him, but neither seems able to injure the other.

The red construct tries to slam into Selune.
attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
He seems unable to injure her.

The party is up!

Lilianna stows her wand safely in a pocket and draws her crossbow. Holding it awkwardly she practices taking aim at the constructs. "Fair warning, I'm not a great shot with this thing, but I'm good enough that I won't hit any of you!" she jests, laughing nervously. Aaaand if I do, I'll patch it up as quickly as I can...
________
Come on, one of you couldn't just take the damage so I'd have something to do? ;) Move action to stow wand, move action to draw crossbow.

Mun summons the divine power that fuels him, channeling it into a burst of strength that empowers both he and Selune. "Ashava's strength fills us, Selune."

Soon, soon we shall see what The True Spark can really do.

Standard: cast bull's strength using improved spell sharing

Shield of faith (Mun and Selune): 1 round of 2 minutes elapsed
Bull's Strength (Mun and Selune): 5 rounds each

Selune feels the lunar power channeled through Mun strengthen the already mighty sinews of her ursine body. She stands tall on her hind legs briefly as she lets out a deep roar before falling on the construct in front of her, trying to find a way to tear it's strange metallic pieces apart bit by bit.

Full round: full attack

Bite, bless, bull's strength: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 28
Damage, P, bull's strength: 1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 = 11

Claw, bless, bull's strength: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 15
Damage, S, bull's strength: 1d4 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 = 10

Claw, bless, bull's strength: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 16
Damage, S, bull's strength: 1d4 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 = 8

Looking at what his companions were doing with all those roars and whatnot, Heorn simply takes another pull and grimaces.
Needs more time to age I think. Could brew up a better batch.

Lancyn tactically moves about the construct to give a better advantage to others. "quickly now we must stop these machines before they do any harm." the paladin swipes at the mechanical creature.

+1 Longsword+Bless-Powerattack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 1 - 2 = 25
Magical/Slashing Dmg+PowerAttack: 1d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 4 = 16

Selune's bite and one of her claw attacks to seem to almost tear bits off the construct nearest to her.

Lancyn's sword smashes hard into the other construct.

status: red -19 HP; blue -16 HP

Iovarl and Grubglub are up.

Iovarl moves over behind Lancyn where it seems to be safe.

He speaks to his summoned elemental in a language that sounds low a rumbling.

{Terran}"Come smash this one while it's distracted my rocky friend!"

The elemental steps over opposite Lancyn and tries to smash the blue glowing construct.

slam attack, P. attack, flanking: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 2 - 1 = 19

slam damage, P. attack: 1d6 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11

Grubglub continues his twirling rampage as he once more steps forward and attacks.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 - 2 = 10
Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 - 2 = 12
Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 - 2 = 12

Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Iovarl's little rocky friend slugs one construct. Grubglub flails at the other, but is unable to hit it.

Both constructs take a moment to fix the worst of their damage.
2d10 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

status: red -17 HP; blue -21 HP

The entire party is up again.

With awkward movements, Lilianna places a bolt into the receiver and ratchets back the string. What an exhausting way to fire a bow... "NOBODY MOVE FOR LIKE ONE SECOND!" she calls out as she takes aim and fires at the more damaged construct.
________
Crossbow (Melee, Bless) vs Blue (Cover): 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 141d8 ⇒ 1

Lilianna's bolt flies over the head of the construct.

Shoutying out at the group hopeg=fully providing some inspiration Lancyn states "For the Inheritor will guide us to victory and bring strength to our arms. For Golarion, For The Society."

Lancyn drives his blade home now the metal construct is being harried on two sides.

+1 Longsword+Bless+Flank-Powerattack: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 11
Magical/Slashing Dmg+PowerAttack: 1d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 4 = 16

Lancyn is shocked to find that he still is unable to damage the construct.
