1000' up from where Marckus waits not so patiently.
Yes.
Markus is chillin at the base of the cliff when hears something.. Looking up what appears to be a sexy half-elf comes wandering out of the woods. She has red hair, green eyes and carries an aura of authority about her. She see's you, smiles and heads your way.
"Good day friend! I am Cherry, the local badass and I heard you guys were out here kicking some butts.. I would like to join in on the butt smacking if possible.."

Ulthar continues his war of attrition with the ropers that will most assuredly ruin his day if he gets any closer.
"I say, Sileth! Do you see that fantastically attractive dot on the ground?"
The keen-eyed marksman repies Absolutely ....I wonder what she thinks about DeCartes postulation that the world we perceive is nothing but a system constructed by Modrons to power their civilization with our body heat
Sileths targeting continues to be ruthlessly logical continuing to choose his targets according to the convenient numbers they have tattooed to their heads...lowest =first
Marckus flexes in every way he can think of, but alas, no social feats come to bear. He curses being a brawler.
"So yeah hi. Problem is the butts are way up there." He gestures to the flying idiots geniuses, "And they're fighting a rock."
Marckus then sits down and stares unabashedly as a moth would a flame. But from a small distance. Like a very lazy moth that probably knows better.
Obviously impressed by the brut's physique Cherry approaches.. After hearing the predicament she looks up at the two dots fighting rocks in the sky.
"Ah.. Shall we join them then?"
She casts Communal Air Walk, 70 mins each and begins to ascend..
"Let's go poke fun at them while they shoot at rocks.."
Walking on air? Why hadn't he ever thought of that before?
"Yeah okay cool."
Actually I assumed you were targeting the ward, since if you can stay at range, the ropers are fairly moot.
However if you want to kill them, there's a fair number of hits.
Ulthar hits twice, Sileth hits 3 times. I'll assume you focused fire. It's still up however. Given that there's no targets in tentacle range and they are being pelted with arrow, they flee. Their move speed is laughable, so it's like watching someone on a walker 'run' away.
Up and up we go!
You guys can keeping shooting. I suspect you might run out of arrows (which I don't normally track, but unless you have an unlimited arrow trick, I will assume you don't have hundreds in stock).
nope dont have unlimited arrow trick....and tbh I have no idea how many arrows Sileth has...
So come up with a reasonable amount and fast forward to the round when the arrows are exhausted and then it will be MB time
Sileth and Cherry Bomb will pull out some chairs and our judges scorecards.
The ward has an AC of 40 and a goodly pile of HP and DR.
Please, "unlimited" is my middle name. Just keep the Ropers off my back.

As Cheery reaches the hooligans attacking old rock men she will hold her hand up..
"Please stop attacking those defenseless rocks.. A'hem.. My name is Cherry and I met you green friend here on the ground. I'm the local badass and I heard from the local bug dudes that a wrecking crew was in town. I'd like to join the crew if you'll have me?"
She leaves little to the imagination now that she's up close. Even her breastplate is form fitting..
You're a very odd duck if you've been living down here. You're under the Darklands at the moment, but whatever works for you.
Diplomacy is an option with the rune. You can give it a check.
And yes, Marckus, AC is 40, you hit it once.
"Yo hold up attacking the rune for a second.."
Cherry will use Communal Resist Energy(elec) before approaching the Rune..
"Any chance we can talk about this?"
As you approach the ward to try and figure out a non smashy approach to the problem, you realize that the arcs of lightning coming off it might be a touch dangerous.
Yes, but you haven't and you need to be close to interact.
"Yo hold up attacking the rune for a second.."
Cherry will use Communal Resist Energy(elec) before approaching the Rune..
"Any chance we can talk about this?"
She cast it above. She will move close enough to interact.
Derp. Failed to read carefully. You are able to determine by communicating politely with the magical rune, that it is currently agitated, and perhaps an extended conversation will make it placid.
"Yea so I've never had a conversation with a magical rune before, super excited. So what do you like to do for fun?"
It humms at you while discharging bolts of lightning.

"Ah, I see.. An electric personality you have.. I myself love horseback riding in the spring and then skinny dipping in said spring. Nothing like clear, cool spring water to refresh the day. Wouldn't you agree?"
It hums a slightly brighter tune.
It's seems we agree! So why don't we all just settle down and be friends eh?
The lightning arcs cease, and it hums Ode to Joy from Beethoven's 9th. Of course this is Golarion where nobody has invented any of that sort of music, so it's really weird to you.
As it is now shut down, you are gifted with 24 hours of immunity from mind affecting effects (just Cherry).
Cherry turns to the murder squad..
"You see boys, some situations can be solved with a pretty smile and a prettier voice. Where to next?"
"Hey Ulthar, I think she called you ugly." Marckus smirks.
"I think we have to overthrow some mighty bad dude totally on our own in spite of all the powerful people who have as much or more than us at stake in this ordeal. Weird right?"
She stares Ulthar up and down..
"Do by ugly you mean I want him to do ugly things to me? Haha, JK.. He is kinda hunky though.. To be fair my favorite color is green so I'm having a rather good time atm.."
She looks at Sileth..
"Sorry but I'm not really into Johnny Depp stachs.."
..............................
"Well yea isn't that the point of sending the full send squad? I mean they would most likely break a nail or something.. Plus it wouldn't be as much fun if someone else did it.. Are there anymore details? I'm trying to catch up here.."
Well I guess that's another way to do it Sileth remarks while watching the newbie cutie sweet talk an angry Glyph into submission
Welcome to the team I guess normally after being recently double-crossed multiple times Sileth would be wary of any newcomer especially one designed to make the MBs IQs drop precipitously upon looking at her but at this point, he's just happy to have some company that doesn't smell like the inside of a dead Tauntaun
Sileth proceeds to fill Cherry Sundae in on some of the details of the mission that the MBs ommited ....And here we are just trying to save the world...for a small fee of course
"Hah! 'Johnny'. What a strange, made-up sounding name."
The man currently shaped like a gargoyle says.
"We had best move on from this stunning victory to our next. You all know where that is, yes?"

OK, you're now headed for the last rune. You have a sense of where it is, so you head for it. After a bit of a journey aided by your local allies, the Charda (who enable you to avoid the random encounters which I would skip anyway due to laziness), you arrive near the ward.
Your spidey sense says the ward is within the keep which is situated on a small island in a river of black blood.
"Well that's not ominous.."
Nah, it took you a while to get there (this is a big underground region). Next day we'll say.
She will cast Communal Air Walk, let me know if you want this so I can divvy up durations, Life Bubble(last 7 hours each), Freedom of Movement.
Once we reach the keep she will pause to cast Summon Guardian Spirit(using 7th level spell). It lasts 14min.

Special Abilities
-------------
Fated Guardian (Su) For 1 round, any time the creature makes an attack or attempts a saving throw, it rolls twice and takes the better result.
Smite Threat (Su) (2/day) As a swift action, the guardian spirit can add its Charisma bonus on attack rolls and its HD on damage rolls against a foe that currently threatens its ward or has attacked the ward within the past 24 hours.
Starlight Blast (Su) As a standard action once every 1d4 rounds, a lyrakien can tap into the divine power of Elysium, unleashing a blast of holy starlight in a 5-foot burst. All creatures in this area take 5d4 points of holy damage, plus 1 point for each step their alignment deviates from chaotic good.
Traveler’s Friend (Su) Once per day, a creature may spend a minute listening to a lyrakien’s performance—doing so removes the effects of exhaustion and fatigue from the listener.
It appears as a Lyrakien, but you get the feeling it's much more.
"Nice to meet you all, my name is Lucy.. Here to vanquish evil eh? Well let's get to it."
