The two small monsters with spears seem to hesitate, one of them shifts to the side, the other steps back five feet, and both attack Elise with spears.

Narrowly avoiding the flying arrow, Azana decided two things. The cannon fire would have brought the attention of half the compound down on them anyway, and secondly that they needed to get off this wall before something shot them off it. They liked loud bangs? Azana could provide loud bangs.
Moving forwards (To j21) with a fluid dance-like motion, Azana finished the movement with a spin, bringing her booted foot down hard and giving a wordless yell at the same time.
In the midst of the enemies the yell was far more. A hideous explosion of sound roared out, covering the area in a cacophony of thunder for a moment before dying down.
(Any creature caught in the blast receives 3d8 ⇒ (4, 6, 1) = 11 in damage and must make a DC15 Fortitude save or be stunned for 1 round)

Just keep focused. It won't happen. It won't happen, no!
"Fire!" Kaleelah roared in a near feral hiss as she quickly conjured an immense sphere of flame in her hands. Only a second later, the druid gave the fireball a good toss, throwing it clear over the heads of all parties engaged in melee. It instead came crashing down on top of one of the small, cowardly archers in the back.
Flaming Sphere on A21, DC 16 Reflex Save for Half:3d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 4) = 12
The Lion Shaman then waited for Jacen and Harland to bring down the rain, so she could send Nala into combat. Once that happened, the Lion Shaman rapidly gave out her orders.
"Nala, help Syndir!" said Kaleelah, pointing a finger at the enemy Elise and Syndir were currently facing. The druid figured that it would be best to focus on taking out the weakened links as quickly as possible. Less bodies to worry about.
Nala quickly followed the order without a second thought. Kaleelah had trained her to attack just about anything on command, so the armored lioness quickly joined the frontlines. Once next to Syndir, she reared her razor sharp teeth and attempted to bite the enemy.
Nala Bite Attack on G20:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

After Harland and Jacen make their move, I send my amazing disappearing lion to H21. There she bites the lizard demon thing at G20.

Jacen moves forward twenty feet, squeezing around Harland to get closer to the creatures. He draws back the string to his bow and takes aim at the nearest creature not engaged by Elise and Syndir. With a prayer to Calistria he lets the arrow fly with a sharp snap of the bowstring!
Moving to J21. Attack against E21. Now... he hasn't acted yet in combat, he should be considered Flat-Footed, correct? Just want to verify as I'm a little rusty.
Day 1, turn 2, round 1, end of round
Jacen- I moved you to J20, lets all be sure to read the other player's posts, Azana had moved to J21, thanks
The noise is, well, common. The strange sounds of the mysterious monsters as they hoot and screech, the sounds of boots on stone as friends charge headlong into battle, and the unmistakable sound of swords and spears as weapons are swung or thrust against flesh and armor, and then there is a brief silence, an unnatural calm.
Then the sound of a boot slammed hard and flat against the stones is followed by an eruption of noise, a explosion of rolling thunder that shatters the air.
Fortitude Save; B, 20:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 This monster drops its spear and is stunned
Fortitude Save; B, 21:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 Fortitude Save; C, 21:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 Fortitude Save; D, 20:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15 Fortitude Save; D, 21:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 This monster drops its bow and is stunned
Fortitude Save; E, 21:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Jacen moves, intending to get a straight shot at one of the monsters, but Azana is quicker...
It starts!
...and he has to changed his direction mid stride as he draws an arrow, and it almost affects his aim. The arrow hits, this time, even though Azana has nearly spoiled the shot. The arrow hits the monster in the leg but the creature seems to ignore the wound.
Damn, Harland must be thinking as the others get in front of him
Harland takes aim, ignoring the fact that his friends are in front of him and carefully squeezes off a shot. The bullet strikes the monster in the left arm, and to Harland’s surprise the monster seems only mildly aggravated by the attack.
A ball of flames falls from the sky upon one of the monsters in the back

Terquem, if all the melee enemies are armed with spears that are reach weapons, are they really able to attack adjacent targets?
Elise is nicked as she is surprised by the oncoming ... whatever it is... flanking her. "Why aren't these beasts getting hurt?" Elise wonders why the large creatures seem unfazed by all of the party's physical attacks. Dice rolls to understand why?

Suddenly, Elise realizes that she was next to another stinky enemy! Fort Save:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7. She empties her stomach out on the ground beside her. Sickened!
Sickened:
The character takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.
You have an uneasy feeling in your chest that these monsters are not completely natural. Your experience with adventuring and encountering other kinds of monsters tells you that what you are seeing, in their reactions to being wounded, is not because they have a resistance (damage reduction) to physical injuries, but appears to be because they are just that tough. Your knowledge of the Temple (I’ll call this Knowledge Local) tells you that you did not encounter creatures like this the last time. Your knowledge of nature tells you that the stench from these creatures has three components, a natural body odor, exposure to a very filthy environment, and something else, something not natural (as a player you know now that they are creatures that have both the “natural” and “outsider” descriptor, you can role play that character knowledge in any way you like, but your character has a confidence that these creatures are made of something from the lower planes, but you are not sure if it is Demonic (chaotic) or devilish (lawful)).
Day 1, Turn 2, round 2 (initiative count 25 to 20)
Syndir – I’m not sure I understand what you were doing with the AOO there, could you help me understand?
Snydir’s sword work is both damaging and distracting to the monster in front of him.
And Elise capitalizes on the fact that the monster is distracted by Syndir’s flourish, and with speed she drives her blade in low, aiming for a vital organ in the lower back (where she hopes one will be) and it pays off.
With a screech through gritted teeth the monster between Elise and Syndir collapses and falls to the west, tumbling down the slope of the wall to land in a lifeless heap at the base of the wall.
there are some incorrect references to grid positions in the last post of mine, I’ll have to try harder to get these things right!
The three monsters with bows see the larger monster taken down by Syndir and Elise and focus their attacks on Elise; the monster at A,21 moves to C,20 to be away from the flaming sphere
the small monster at D,20, afraid of the Thunder that affected the monster next to him, runs forward, to square F,21, triggering an AOO from Elise, if she wants to take one, and then it will attack her

All the arrows sail wide of the mark as Elise keeps her much larger foes between herself and the bowmen. Still sickened from the stench, Elise will attempt a swipe at the small creature scurrying past her.
Attack:1d20 + 12 - 4 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 4 - 2 = 17; Damage:1d4 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 2 = 6
When Syndir has Snake Style active he has the following abilities.
Snake Fang - If opponent misses you, make an attack of opportunity as an immediate action.
Snake Sidewind - Gain a bonus to avoid being knocked prone, and use Sense Motive check to confirm critical hits.
Snake Style - Gain +2 on Sense Motive checks, and deal piercing damage with unarmed attacks. While using the Snake Style feat, when an opponent targets you with a melee or ranged attack, you can spend an immediate action to make a Sense Motive check. You can use the result as your AC or touch AC against that attack. You must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed.

Azana grinned as the beasties continued to be clumped up. Fighting on the wall meant they had no choice. Of course, her own options were limited. She didn't want to get too close and get in the way of the others. And since they were still grouped up...
Spinning on the spot, Azana brought her foot down with a yell once more. The shattering peal of thunder belted out, catching the majority of the creatures on the wall in it's blast. Next time, she'd have to use something else - she didn't want to waste all her bardic gifts on this wall - but it was currently more important to get back off the wall. And right now, while they weren't shooting at her, she didn't want to call too much more attention to herself.

Having always had rather sensitive ears, Kaleelah winced as Harland's gun once again roared, though it helped distract her from certain other matters. Luckily, the gunslinger had always had been a good shot, and Nala was short enough walking on all fours that she would not be a target unless Harland directly aimed at her. With that out of her mind, the Lion Shaman then noticed that one of the smaller demonic lizard creatures was trying to surround little Elise; Kaleelah quickly ordered a full assault from her own animal companion to assist their friend.
"Nala, attack!"
The armored lioness let out an eager predatory roar, took a quick hop forward, and then quickly began to bite and claw her newly designated enemy.
However, the scent of the foul thing's odor seemed to be a bit strong for the lioness' sensitive noise and made it difficult for her to focus.
Meanwhile, Kaleelah rather literally kept the heat on the cowardly archers. With a wild gesture of the her hand, she moved her fireball on top of its previous target. The druid then advanced slightly to keep up with the rest of her party.
Flaming Sphere Round 2 against B21 - DC 16 Reflex for Half:3d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 4) = 11
Nala five foot steps to G21 and makes a full-round attack against F21. Kaleelah moves her Flaming Sphere against B21 and moves herself to L20.

These actions are assuming the creature hasn't died from Azana's attack... If D21 dies from Azana's attack, then Jacen will attack -A20. To save time I'll post the rolls against -A20 if that's the case. He moves forward to I20.
Jacen takes a single step forward as he draws another arrow for this bow, putting it to the string, and takes aim at the closest dazed creature. With a sharp snap, the arrow shoots over the others in front of him towards its intended target.
More monsters drop their weapons and throw their hands against the sides of their heads as they are stunned by the explosive sound
the monster at D,21 does not die from Azana’s second attack, so Jacen’s arrow is aimed there
Jacen’s arrow flies though the crowd and with the monster he is aiming for stunned and unable to react, the arrow strikes true. The arrow finds its mark just below the right collar bone. The small monster spins and topples off of the wall to the east.
Harland also takes careful aim and his bullet strikes the head of the monster he is aiming at, killing it. This monster pitches forward and falls where it stands.
square E,21 is now difficult terrain
Nala nimble shifts closer to the monster on the other side of the wall and attacks, but the creature fens off most of the lion’s attacks with the spear it carries. One claw finds flesh and wounds the monster.
Something very large begins to emerge from the tower
Initiative of Large Monster:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
The ball of fire under Kaleelah’s control rolls onto one of the small monsters
Reflex Save:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
And even though it manages to step aside and avoid being engulfed by the ball the heat and flames scorch it and cause it to fall off the wall to the east, where it lays, seemingly dead or dying

Azana didn't dare use Thundercall again. Three peels of Thunder would draw every monster in the building, if they weren't already on there way. Instead she chose to cast one of her spells. Of course, most of her spells were flashy and explosive, but Snapdragon Fireworks would be quieter than Thundercall, and would hopefully proove distracting.
Casting quickly, she watched and focused as the tiny flaming dragon soared off, zooming between combatants to strike her target, the monster in front of Elise. The firework exploded in the square, showering the beast with flare and hopefully stunning it. It certainly didn't look like it could move fast...

Good. Just focus, thought Kaleelah as the druid thrust her palm out toward this new enemy. She clenched her slender hand into a fist, and the Flaming Sphere quickly threw itself at the giant monster as it made its way out the door and into the open air.
After taking a couple of steps forward to get closer to the fray, the Lion Shaman then turned her focus onto her animal companion.
"Keep at it, girl!" Kaleelah ordered.
The armored lioness quickly obeyed her handler's command. However, the terrible stench finally began to affect her battle performance. Despite making three attacks, only the feline's first claw swing seemed to get anyway close to her demonic foe.

Kaleelah moves her Flaming Sphere at the new monster. She then advances to L20. There are only 2/5 rounds left on that sucker.

Archery was not Jacen's strong point, so he takes aim at the smaller creature in currently engaged in a melee; he didn't want to take the chance at hitting his friends... Before firing he takes a quick step forward to bring him closer to his target, takes aim, and as he lets the arrow fly... he knows it will strike true!
Day 1, Turn 2, round 3 (Initiative count 17 to 2, end of round0
Reflex Save, E,20:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
The monster raises an arm instinctively and deflects most of the explosive power of the missile Azana launched.
Jacen takes a calculated step forward and aims carefully. He exhales, only half of his breath, and lets the arrow fly. The shaft flies true and strikes the small monster deep in the chest.
your critical damage is x3, so you get another d6 of damage. I’ll roll it.
Damage:1d6 ⇒ 5
Harland’s bullet flies wide to the right, and misses.
Nala claws and bites at the monster in front of her, but it is as if the creature has some experience fighting such a animal and it fends off most of the cat’s attacks with deft movements or timely blocks with its weapon.
Once you are sickened, you remain sickened for the entire time you remain near the monster that caused the condition, plus five more rounds. You only need to make another save if you enter the area of affect of another one of these monsters.
Before the Large Monster appears I need to make a dispel magic check against Kaleelah’s flaming sphere.
Kaleelah feels something sinister seep into the binding energy she feels as she controls the Flaming Sphere to move into the doorway, and without a sound the ball of fire vanishes.
Only moments later the creature in the shadows of the doorway emerges. It is twice as tall as the largest of the medium sized creatures but looks unnaturally thin. Its head is longer, but the same characteristic features are there. It is a sickly brown and red color and unlike the other monsters of this kind, this one wears a item of clothing that resembles a tabard or robe in style. It appears to be the hide of a large leathery creature folded in half with a hole cut in the middle for this monster’s head to poke up through. The tabard-like garment is held close to its body with a thick green rope, and from the rope hand many small bags, and unidentifiable objects that look like small wooden sculptures. The large monster bellows a challenge that is a terrible sound of clicks and snarls. Spit sprays out of its mouth as it lumbers forward. It holds itself upright by leaning on a long wooden pole. The pole is ten feet long, smooth, appears to be painted with dark pigments of yellow, blue and red, and has a short metal chain fastened to the top of it. From the chain hangs a small, round, cloth wrapped object.
As the Large monster moves forward it shoves two of the monsters ahead of it out of its way, toppling the stunned monsters over the sloped side of the wall.
The large monster casts Dispel Magic on the Flaming Sphere, and moves to the four squares defined by B-C, 20-21
The medium sized monster in front of Elise howls in pain and tries to counter her attack with a quick thrust of its spear
Female Aasimar Phoenix Sorcerer 3 | Psychokineticist 3 | HP 21/21 (3 temp) | AC:13 T:12 FF:11 CMD:13 | F+4 (+6 vs death), R+6, W+7 (+9 vs fear) | Init +2 | Perc +9 (+12 bright light) |
"Hey tough guy, aren't you a bit big for this ledge?" Elise tumbles her way through the relatively smaller enemies to confront the large foe.
Spring attack! Elise moves to D20, attempting to tumble past to avoid AOOs. The big guy doesn't get an AOO as the target of the spring attack. Acrobatics vs yellow:1d20 + 17 - 2 - 10 ⇒ (12) + 17 - 2 - 10 = 17 Acrobatics vs green:1d20 + 17 - 2 - 10 ⇒ (4) + 17 - 2 - 10 = 9 Acrobatics vs orange:1d20 + 17 - 2 - 10 ⇒ (13) + 17 - 2 - 10 = 18
She then strikes at the BBEG, but all that tumbling is too much for her to strike effectively, and she simply waves her scimitar around.
Attack:1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 12 - 2 = 12; Damage:1d4 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 2 = 6
***Edit*** - Well crap, I just realized that Elise has to diagonally traverse difficult terrain, which means she needs to move at full speed to get to the BBEG. So I've subtracted 10 from each of the Acrobatics rolls to reflect that. Incoming AOOs!
Syndir filled the hole in the line that Elise had just vacated and stepped right up the bigger lizard man letting his blade lead the way. The westerner was eager to cut his way through these minions and get to the bigger enemy.
Day 1, Turn 2, round 1 (Initiative count 26 to 25)
Elise tries to move through the monster, baffling the smaller ones with her quick and nimble moves, but her eyes stray and the mefium sized monster reaches out with the spear in its hands to slice at her as she passes by
The sharp edge of the spear tip slices a deep cut in Elise's arm, throwing off her timing and causing her to miss her aim with her weapon as she slashes out at the large monster.
And in a flash Syndir steps up to attack the monster wounding it slightly.
The small monster armed with a bow, appears to be smart enough to understand the danger of trying to draw the arrow with Elise standing so close and instead it attempts an improvised attack by stabbing her with the arrow in its hand
Improvised Melee Attack:1d20 + 5 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 4 = 14
But misses her completely
the other small monster, the one that was knocked off the wall recovers from its stunned condition and begins climbing back up the wall.

"Well...that's a bit bigger. If they start calling in more of those we're going to have to fall back." Azana glanced down the wall to spot how hard it would be to retreat. Not terrible simple, really.
For now, however, she started by directing the second Snapdragon Firework at the big one, hoping to keep it pinned down while they finished off it's smaller minions. (The big one takes 1d4 ⇒ 2 in fire damage and needs to make a DC 16 Reflex Save to avoid being dazed and taking half damage.) She had three more - hopefully they'd prove effective on the big one.
Then she begins to dance, the magic of the bard flowing through her and out to her allies as she dances and sings. Hopefully it would be enough to finish off these creatures quickly.

Another snapdragon firework rockets across the top of the wall toward the large monster

The large monster seems occupied by the threat of the small person in front of it and does not see the missile coming toward it. The firecracker explodes right between the monster’s eyes, and it is Dazed.

"Keep on 'em, Nala!" shouted Kaleelah as the blonde druid tightened her grip on her scythe and moved closer to the fray.
Upon hearing Azana's music, Nala was able to focus her attention past her sickness and onto the nearest demonic lizard. With a ferocious roar, the armored lioness launched herself at the first standing enemy in sight. She also seemed to take comfort in the fact that her Mistress was getting ready to join the fray.
______________________________________________
Kaleelah moves to H21.
Nala full-round attacks F21. If Harland's shot killed it, then she takes a five foot step foward and attacks E20.

Jacen shakes his head at how this has turned out... he'd said it before... stealth... He was becoming frustrated at not being able to reach his enemies with his blade. That's why he was most deadly... up close where he could whisper in their ears, just before his blade ripped into their backs...
Azana's song of courage suddenly picked up Jacen's spirits! He puts another arrow to the string, draws it back, and takes aim at the newly arrived large enemy. He lets the arrow go with a sharp snap!
You do not recall anything, based on your knowledge checks, that would help you know more about the large monster
Jacen’s arrow sails over the heads of the other creatures in the way and strikes the large monster in the arm.
Harland takes careful aim and hits the small monster with a bullet. The monster staggers, but stays on its feet.
Nala lunges at the small monster, teeth and claws moving with blinding speed. A claw rends the flesh on the monsters exposed leg, while the bite finds the monsters neck and crushes all the life out it. Nala flings the dead creature to the side and snarls threateningly, as Kaleelah comes up quickly behind the lioness.
The Large Monster is Dazed
Near Elise one of the medium sized monsters scrambles up the sloped wall and tries to grab her leg
this is a Grapple attempt and provokes an attack of opportunity from Elise. Technically the monster is prone and modifiers apply
Grapple attempt:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
The monster succeed in getting a hold of Elise's leg, for now.
That is the end of round 4 (and some people say all pathfinder battles only take 3 rounds, pffft)

Syndir felt the spear rake across his exposed ribs and hissed from the pain. He would've retaliated against the little lizard but the others had killed it with a quickness... and so we fall right back into our old ways...a good sign indeed... He slid beside the one in front of him to give Jacen room to step up and sliced at the big lizard in front of him and that's when the stench hit him. Thankfully he didn't lose his last repast from it though.
With the blow from Elise’s sword nearly taking the monsters arm off, she easily wrestles her leg out of its grasp. Fighting her way out of its grip distracts her from the task of attacking the large monster, momentarily.
Syndir – can we take a little pause here, I’m confused. From F,20 you cannot take a 5 foot step to E,19 because you would be stepping on to a 45 degree slope something you would not be able to stand upright on, at least without making a combination of something like a climb skill check and maybe and acrobatics skill check. Do you want to try that, or do something different?

Sydir attacks the monster between him and Elise, opening another wound on the creatures chest.

Maintaining her dance, Azana smiled as the third Snapdragon flew towards the large monster, zigzagging it's way along and exploding in the creature's face. These things were tough, and there were a lot of them, but they were slowly working there way through the mass.
As with previous rounds, the large monster takes 1d4 ⇒ 4 in fire damage and must make the DC16 Reflex save to avoid Stunning.
Following the blast Azana moved up behind Syndir, calling out, "Everyone still OK?"Azana moves to G20
Day 1, Turn 2, round 5 (Initiative count 17 to 14)
Again the large monster is stunned by the exploding firework going off in its face.
It would be easy for Harland to bring these creatures down with the shots he is firing, but not this time, every time he is sure he has a clear shot, someone gets in the way, and this shot is no different.
just for clarification, Harland ignores the penalty to hit (a -4) for firing into Melee, but the monster, because it is on the other side of Syndir) still receives a +4 adjustment to its AC, for cover.

Terquem, Harland never took Azana's Inspire Courage into account. Looking at previous hits and misses, I think the +2 would make all the difference. Also, don't firearms target touch AC?
