Just to be clear, that was me offering a suggestion to Rogelio since I used Enora in the other scenario. I don't know if he wants to use her. She's fun, though! :-)

Henrick begins to move around the outer edge, and is readied to swing his urgrosh at anything hostile that comes within range.

Just to be clear, that was me offering a suggestion to Rogelio

Ahhh gotcha

Two hairless blue lions with twin tentacular tails burst from the shadows. Dozens more thick tentacles quiver and twitch where their manes should be!

One runs along the northern wall and is struck by Henricks awaiting Urgosh! It bites back...
Attack 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
...but the snapping alien jaw gets caught on armour!

The other cuts up the middle and goes for Roscoe - getting jagged by his lance as it arrives, then moves in to attack...
Attack 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11 - faring no better than its companion.
I have counted your Lance roll above as your free AOO as you are using a reach weapon

Skeletons rise from the ground and lumber into the melee.

Y Attack 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 = 10

oh thanks...I don't anything about that class but hay I'll transfer it all tonight, sorry to be a pain but if you want please bot her for the first round I'm heading to Paris now. Thanks I'll try and post tonight

-Posted with Wayfinder

No worries, we can delay til the end of the round, and if need be we can bot

Round 1 cont: Mythic - HP45/45; AC22
Knowledge (Nature): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Roscoe tries to figure out what these creatures are and if they have any special abilities (attacks/defense) to be wary of ... then comes out of delay and presses his attack ...
Roscoe (Lance): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24 for Piercing: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
George (Bite): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 for Piercing: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Sure thing, Rog, I can bot you at the end of the round if we need to. DM Shifty--I have Combat Reflexes so even though I was FF I believe I get an AoO on the blue thing that moved next to me.

AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

AoO Damage (Bludgeoning): 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (3, 3, 4) + 5 = 15

Magrim's hammer swings wide, caught off guard. He steps up to engage the skeletons, extra magical weight added to his weapon.

Attack skeleton two squares east of my position: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Damage (Bludgeoning): 3d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 2, 3) + 5 = 15

Gertie, swing around! he gestures to the strange lion creature. The dinosaur's muscles enlarge as it prepares to strike.

Flank command, attack command.

Swift: Animal Focus (Bull)

The dinosaur leans forward and darts through the crowded space to arrive on the other side of the lion-thing, snapping at its tentacled mane.

Move: Provokes AoO. AC = 23

Bite yellow tentacle lion, power attack, AF (Bull), outflank: 1d20 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 4 = 23

Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Magrim - yep the AOO applied

Roscoe is pretty sure these things do not come from any nature known to Golarion...
Aberrations - will need Know:Dungeon

Roscoe and George manage to pull down the blue lion-thing attacking them.

Magrim destroys a skeleton!
Lagertha refunded

Is it alright if I move Magrim a few squares? If the blue guy was killed before my turn I would have moved around above the skeleton to attack it instead of only 5 ft stepping (to avoid an AoO from blue guy). If that's ok I'll adjust Magrim's position. I'll also attack command one of the skeletons. Re-taking Gertie's turn...

Gertie stalks her prey, seeking to rend the skeletal limbs off the animated corpses.

Move

Attack, PA, animal focus (Boar): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

B/P/S Damage, PA: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Thats fine

Sorry guys. Spent the week doing inventory and then doctors appointments for the demonspawn that's coming. Should be semi normal now though. I'll work on applying the mythic stuff when I get home. I already have everything picked out, I just have to record it on my online sheet for Shifty. I'll have my gameplay post and everything up then as well.

Henrick now has an animal companion, a large camel, but I wasn't sure if he made it down here as I believe the description started with a trap door. If it was a stairway like a cellar entrance, maybe - if a ladder, probably not. So I am not putting in actions for him until GM confirms, but I expect he would come around and attack the skeleton at Henrick's back...

Henrik sizes up the situation, and decides to concentrate ont eh strange blue creature first. He swings his urgrosh in the tight quarters, first swiping with the axe head, and then punching with the pointy end.

Axe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Slashing Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Spear: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Piercing Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

I'll allow the camel. Let's run with 'after a liberal use of lamp oil, you managed to get the camel through the eye of the needle'

Henrick unleashes some mighty strikes - the blue lion falls...

This is Magrim botting Enora for Rog this round.

The determined halfling shouts, sending bolts of force out of her staff and towards the skeletons near Henrick.

Two charges from wand to cast Magic Missile.

2 magic missiles on yellow skelly, force damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9

2 magic missiles on green skelly, force damage: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 3) + 2 = 6

Agraic continues to quickly don his armor (2/10) I don't think I've ever had to do this fast before. Ever. Take off? Sure. Put on? Well, this is definitely a new experience...

Agraic keeps putting on armour.

Enora slays two skeletons.

The last skeleton lashes at Kel
1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 91d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Who easily avoids it!

A hellish barking fills your minds and tears at you as a strange houndlike beast appears right in front of Roscoe - its terrifying gaze slashing at your reality and sanity.

Ripping Gaze 5d4 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 1, 1) = 10 - strikes everyone.
DC16 Fort negates

The creature then shifts reality to appear elsewhere in the room, concealed by a pillar!

Fort Save, DC 16: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 +2 if fear, poison, spell or spell-like ability - so not suee if saved or not. It's that close!

Henrick and the camel both move up the side, taking cover behind pillars and readying an attack in case the creature comes within range.

Round 2 Mythic: 35/45 HP, AC22; Ready Attack
Fortitude (Roscoe) DC16: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Roscoe will cast Produce Flame and hold his attack until he has a good LOS ...

"Wait for it George ..."
Fortitude (George) DC16: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

The armor-donning half-elf grunts a bit as the shifting of reality makes it a bit harder to put the armor on, but he grits his teeth and keeps working at it.

-0 HP for successful save

Henrick - Supernatural ability :(

Round 2

Kel lashes at the skeleton attacking him, using his combat scabbard, with a grim look on his face.
You know mates, they don't really go over how to kill skeletons when they train you, now do they? It's always "go for this organ, stab that fleshy spot"... They never say what to do when the baddie's got no fleshy bits, now do they?

Attack, Combat Scabbard: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Kel's strike misses the agile bag-o-bones!

The determined halfling shouts again, this time tossing a orb of acid towards the skeleton near Henrick.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

edit

fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Gertie, kill that one! Magrim gestures to the remaining skeleton. He advances on the dog-beast, growing to enormous size and swinging his hammer mightily.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Free action: Attack command

Move and standard: 40 ft movement

Swift: Enlarge from Growth domain

Free action Amazing Initiative, extra standard to attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Damage, magic, bludgeoning: 4d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 5, 5, 4) + 7 = 22

AoO if the creature provokes: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

AoO Damage, magic, bludgeoning: 4d6 + 7 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 5) + 7 = 20

Fort Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

The reptile ignores the barking and advances on the skeleton, biting savagely.

Attack, PA, animal focus (Boar): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

B/P/S Damage, PA: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Enora sprays some acid over the Skeleton, which persists in harrying Kel.

Lagertha moves in and chomps it neatly though - wrecking it!

Magrim swaps to a herculean size, and with some mythical powers from the Sages, he moves at a freakish pace - managing to attack the Hound.

The hound simply disappears again reappearing near enough the party to subject them all once again to its ripping gaze!.

Gaze 5d4 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 3, 4) = 15
Fprt 16 to resist (all but Magrim)

It then backs up a little to create some more space.

Round 3 Mythic: 20/45 HP AC22 Produce Flame 4-1 mins
Fortitude (Roscoe) DC16: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Roscoe hurls his flame at the Hound ...
Range Touch: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 for Fire: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

George saved last round

DM Shifty--did my 20 hit or miss?

Gertie, trip it up! Enora, clear a path! Magrim shouts.

Magrim delays until after Gertie

The dinosaur complies, stalking the strange beast and snapping at its legs.

Gertie FS: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

FS /w messenger bag reroll: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 1 = 22

Move action

Tangling attack, if hits target is entangled for a round (plus damage): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

B/P/S Damage, PA: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Assuming Enora will move down 10 ft or so, I will then...

Magrim stabilizes his large form and charges, swinging his hammer again.

Swift: Enlarge

Full round action charge vs (hopefully entangled) AC: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18

Damage, magic, bludgeoning: 4d6 + 7 ⇒ (5, 3, 5, 5) + 7 = 25

Fort Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

I assume none of the readied actions triggered, but I don't see the creature on the map... so unless I see a clear alterative, we will just let the readied actions ride...

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Kel will pursue the hound, and stab at it with his rapier.
Attack, Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Sneak Attack if I Can Swing a Flank: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Extra Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Agraic continues to put on his armor (4/10)

"For Cayden's love of brew, get that thing! I'll be there in a minute!"

@Magrim - yep first hit did indeed land - sorry for the lack of clarity in the narrative

@Henrick yeah it didn't walk past, it teleported into the vicinity - did its area attack and then pulled back :(

The party manages to pile into the creature and a string of very well placed hits and critical strikes manages to pull it down, just!

/end combat.

***
The Temple of the Beyond is a remnant of the Age of Darkness. The glyphs in the walls are extremely old, predating the creation of the Ancient Osiriani language, but the pictography is mostly representative rather than symbolic, which facilitates comprehension.

Roscoe spots a worn-out leather strap hanging from the mouth of one of the blue creatures. The strap is attached to Nefti’s belt pouch, which you extract with ease. Hours spent in the akata’s stomach has destroyed most of the contents, but several parts of a journal are still intact and legible. The entries include poetry and music composed by Nefti, as well as mundane day-to-day observations. The last several pages record Nefti’s complaints about the Aspis Consortium’s lack of appreciation for his accomplishments. A folded sheet of paper wedged in the journal bears the title “Potential Partners” and names the Pathfinder Society among other well-known organizations.

Several of the fallen cult’s tools have survived the passage of ages. Henrick finds an ornate and deadly looking dagger a vial containing one handful of strange dust and a sheet of beaten gold bears an inscription in Aklo - All radiate strong magics.

Agraic takes his time to get his armor on the right way, undoing a few straps that he'd crossed in his haste to get dressed.

Linguistics: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

Unfortunately, that's taking his attention and focus as he's trying to get it right, so the pictograms don't mean much to him at the moment.

Linguistics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

"I am afraid that I've no gift for languages."
Roscoe will use his wand to heal up from the combat ...
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 = 24/45 HP
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 = 32/45 HP
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 = 41/45 HP
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 = 43/45 HP

the Halfling moves to inspect the writings...

Linguistics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

scratching her head "well this'uns got me stumped..."

the Halfling moves to inspect the writings...

[dice=Linguistics]1d20+9

scratching her head "well this'uns got me stumped..."

Try this, might help... Magrim says, handing over a scroll to Enora.

I bought a couple scrolls of Comprehend Languages. Mind using one to decipher the glyphs?

Enora uses the scroll and deciphers the wall
Feel free to look at the spoiler

The sheet of beaten gold is most curious...

The sheet bears an inscription in Aklo that describes a prayer one can perform under the open sky to channel the power of the stars. Performing this ritual — which does not require the speaker to understand Aklo — takes one minute and restores 1d2+1 uses of mythic power to the creature up to once per week.

Anyone can perform the ritual, but DC20 Planes check for further info.

The half-elf glances over and considers.

"If they were worshippin' an' usin' stuff from 'out there'-- He points skywards. "-Then there might be a chance that 'out there' came callin', what with that strange rippin' of reality dog thingy that was attackin' us, y' think?"

Agraic may only have a Wisdom of 7, but this just makes *sense*

Moving on?

Once my armor is properly on, yes, ready to move out here, suh! There's supposedly tunnels in these places, so let's find out!

Agraic will take a look around for tunnel or passage once he gets his armor on.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Agraic can see where the tunnels go easily enough...

A system of tunnels runs under the temple, cutting through the mountains. These dark, 10-foot-wide round passages appear to extend throughout the region, allowing travel throughout the Pillars of the Sun. Spots along the rough walls show signs of chemical reactions between the rock and some unknown substance.

You try to determine the path your quarry took...
DC 20 Knowledge (dungeoneering) or
Survival check to gain ground!

***
You reach the end of the tunnel and look outside.

Two tall sandstone outcroppings rise to the north and south, channeling whistling wind and stinging sand through this pass. The carcass of a giant serpentine beast covered in dried blisters lies in a heap at the gorge’s narrowest point, the body savaged by some powerful predator.

The howling wind and lashing sand makes life difficult.

You are inside the jagged black area, looking out. The tracks seem to extend out into the desert

Survival: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
"We are gaining."

Henrick helps with the tracking, and even tries to convince the camel to use it's sense of scents to further improve their speed.

Handle Animal, Track[/dice: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Survival Aid: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Camel's Survival Aid: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13

Knowledge, nature: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

"Um, these tunnels appear to be made by something known as a death worm. Sounds ominous, don't it?"

Kel looks at the tunnels and shakes his head.
Mate, that doesn't sound good to me at all. Especially given how big these tunnels are...

He looks ruefully at his rapier.
Sometimes I wish the guild had trained me with one of those massive axes or greatswords...

Looking at the smashed and semi-dessicated creature laying in the valley - Henrick informs you all that it is one of the Death worms.

"Let's hope we don't meet one of those!"
