THE REFUGE OF TIME Regular

In the ruins of a fallen empire built on the power of sin lies the key to awakening a great evil from a time long gone. The Pathfinder Society isn't the only organization seeking this potent artifact, however, and the result of failure could mean disaster for the whole of Varisia and beyond.

Can we get a summary about the amount of damage everyone suffered? For example, Rogar should have lost 37 hp and 7 points of str. He also inflicted damage on the deadknight, and I'd like to know how the pit situation was resolved, which means you should roll reflexes for the deadknight. Rogar tried to attack it, but would switch to the shadow if the deadknight were impossible to hit. Let us know please
ReflHorse: 1d20 ⇒ 9
The horse falls down,
ReflEmeketta: 1d20 ⇒ 14
but Emeketta manages to jump clear. As she jumps clear Rogar has to follow and just can do ONE attack, which hits.
Barm hits but does a lot less damage than expected.

Another couple of questions: the shadow. Where does it come from? Was it summoned? Why didn't we see it approach? And how did it touch Rogar? According to the map it's standing 15 ft. away from him, and afaik shadows don't have ranged touch attacks. Even if this shadow had ranged touch attacks there's still the matter of Muthair providing cover. Sorry for being such a pain but I just checked the map and some things make no sense to me

Graveknights have Damage Reduction 10 magic and Spell resistance. Their saves and the power of the spell resistance depend on the person changed. They also get a bonus to spells half the changed characters level. She seems to be some form of martial character.
The shadowy enemy is a greater shadow, an undead with the incorporal type, able to drain strength.

I may be able to turn this shadowy undead creature into a temporary ally, and use it against the foul cultists! Vybus shouts before casting Persistent Command Undead on the greater shadow.

The shadow was in another room and called, by the graveknight just before you entered the door. It moved to rogar and attacked.
Then Jing made a pit, the Graveknight did manage to dismount. Unfortunately so far from you that you had to move to attack it. You had to move, but I did not give the shadow an attack of opportunity as this was a special case.
Warpac misses the shadow unfortunatelly
The graveknight steps another step back and attacks Rogar
Attack: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (16) + 20 = 361d8 + 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (1) + (4, 4) + 12 = 21

The shadow follows and attacks him too.

Confirm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 271d8 ⇒ 4
This round is not good for Rogar. He does get hit and while the lance does not confirm, the shadow does confirm and he looses another 7 strength.
Emeketta 69 damage
Shadow 16 damage
Rogar 78 damage and 14 strength
Barm 56 damage
Mutahir 23 damge
Pathfinders are up.

Damn! a 19 and a 17 on the Shadow's saves. That's statistically improbable.
The shadowy creature resisted my efforts to control it! I shall try again momentarily.
I spend another arcane pool point to use my Quick Study exploit to replace my prepared Dimension Door with another Persistent Command Undead as a full round action. Turn done.

Rogar was fighting Emeketta. There were PCs behind him and near him. You say the Shadow moved near Rogar but you just had it appear near Rogar instead. No one noticed it enter the room? How exactly? We didn't even get a chance to perceive it? Get an AoO? And by the way, if the shadow moves to Rogar, it provokes from Barm, Warpac, Tiny and Muthair.
Rogar withdraws from the fight.

I'm confused too. The shadow is up near Warpac and Tiny according to the map. Rogar was south of them. Either you got Rogar confused with Tiny or Barm, or the shadow was not where it was shown on the map, or the shadow has a huge reach, or I'm missing something here.

Tiny, Barm, Mu and Warpac can do an AoO. Was at court yesterday and missed to move the shadow. But no one can enough damage to kill it anyway. Without ghosttouch crits.

But all is moot as Barm and Warpac destroy it.
With a very lucky hit from the dwarf the shadow is destroyed.
Tiny, Jing, Wybus and Mutahir are up.
With the shadow destroyed, Mutahir continues to attack the graveknight with all his might, trying to bring the creature down quickly...

Wow. The dice roller just hates me apparently.
The graveknight feels the blade of Mutahir, but not his words.

So Emeketta stood up, cast a spell/used an ability, and took a second move action? Was one of those a swift action or something? And that black patch, is that the grease square? The room is becoming a veritable mine field. Nice, cause Warpac is good at bull rush if he can ever get into position.
Made a mistake. She just stands up. The black batch is not from me.

I put the black patch to show where I cast grease. Looks like Tiny and Mutahir would get AOOs from her standing up. And if she ended her turn next to the pit it's a reflex save or fall in.

Create Pit and Glitterdust both have a DC=20 for their saves(+2 if you end your turn next to the pit), and neither one is subject to SR. Just want to point that out.
Also, when asked: "So Emeketta stood up, cast a spell/used an ability, and took a second move action? Was one of those a swift action or something?" you said, "Made a mistake. She just stands up." Does that mean she did not cast the spell?
One last question: Right now, how far apart is Barm and Tiny, please.

Barn and Tiny look to be about 30' apart. Is that correct?
Oh, I changed the black blob(Grease) to a square so people can move there and still be seen. I hope you all don't mind.

The stinker moved left instead of right. No way to reach him now :) I assume all those pews are difficult terrain.
Warpac calls upon Desna to grant his weapon a blessing (holy strike) and it starts glowing pretty butterfly colors. He then marches, slowly, around the pit.
He lets the sacred weapon lapse
