Pandoor inspires courage while Dorvhan buffs and Falco begins a new summoning spell.
1d100 ⇒ 6
Coming around the corner from behind you, an emaciated figure that looks like a horned human skeleton smothered within a bone-tight hide of slimy leather sniffs the air as it moves forward and stabs at Dorvhan with a longspear.
but it is also unable to penetrate the dwarf's armor.
stabbity:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17 but is unable to connect.
Know:Planes 16:
This gaunt, abyssal creature is a babau, it's a CE Outsider (Demon). That means it's immune to electricity and poison; heavily resistant to acid, cold and fire. Need cold iron or good weapons to hurt it much.
Falco also knows that they can see invisibility and conjure darkness at will and that they have a protective coat of acidic slime which can damage or destroy most things that touch it.
Reflex:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
The demon's hooves dig into the stone floor, giving it enough balance to stay up.
Hearing Falco's advice, Paeter drops his enchanted trident and pulls out his...
"F@*$..." he curses under his breath. He gave his cold iron longsword to the idiot who just betrayed them.
Seeing that there is little choice in the matter, Paeter moves up to block the doorway with the frog to prevent the babau from entering the room. "Someone find me cold iron!" he bellows as he keeps his shield at the ready.

Lacking a clear line, Dorvhan starts with an Aid spell on Paeter HP Gained:1d8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6. He then hustles towards Falco. (Using Agile steps if needed to ignore the terrain of the pews.)
I mistook Dorvhan for Falco on the map. Can't take the dagger.
Taking two attacks from the demon is a surprise as the halfling grits his teeth, feeling the pain from the attacks. "Bloody hell." he curses as he takes a swing at the babau with his shield, twice due to Falco's spell, gripping it with both hands.
Appearing in the middle of the room is a red headed winged woman who looks uncannily like a demonic version of the goddess Sarenrae—especially with her flaming scimitar.
see map 1 for awesome picture.
She screams "I am Avalexi, true scion of the Dawnflower. Convert and be redeemed or meet your doom!"
With the cold iron dagger shoved into the hand of Paeter, he flips it over as he strikes out at the babau, hoping to take down one enemy before moving onto the first. "The heals help, but prote..." Paeter starts commanding as Dorvhan is halfway to the succubus.
Shrugging, he slams and stabs at the babau with his dagger and shield.
Pandoor's spell slides harmlessly off the succubus. Given that she didn't even flinch Pandoor suspects she may also be too powerful to be affected by such a spell.
Paeter finally makes some progress on the Babau, connecting with all 3 attacks and even doing some damage with the shield.
Meanwhile Dorvhan works on keeping Paeter healthy despite the assault on him.
Paeter, undeterred by the insane accuracy of the babau, continues his assault with the dagger and shield, trying to destroy it before it can destroy him. "Quick! We need to deal with this one and then we can regroup outside!" he yells, thinking that the succubus is beyond their ability with the babau being so tough.
Paeter feels vindicated as his stout defense actually holds against the babau demon and he violently retaliates, hoping to destroy it in this volley of strikes. "Focus down the babau first! Dorvhan, you keep the succubus's attention!" he yells, hoping that the group follows his lead.

Just checking in GM. I never updated my by-line, but Dorvhan's AC is currently 25 due to Protection from Evil and Haste. It drops back down to 24 after the last attack.
Dorvhan, nearly dead, and caught on the wrong side decides to keep swinging, hoping the extra heft is enough to start making a dent. "Desna save us all!"
Paeter gets another nice hit on the Babau, it staggers for a moment but continues its assult. It may take several more solid blows to drop this demon.
Meanwhile Falco finishes his spell letting Dorvhan land a solid crit on the Succubus. Unsurprisingly some of the wound heals immediately DR 10/ Good or cold iron.
A solid blow although not nearly as serious a wound as Dorvhan would have liked. She's got plenty of HP
Rather than try another spell Pandoor continues to inspire uses his wand to help keep the giant dwarf standing.
CLW:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
With the Pathfinders' efforts split between two foes things are beginning to look rather dire.
Assuming the AC 27 header is accurate: 7 damage
landing yet another bite on Paeter! But the halfling is made of stern stuff and stays on his feet.
The succubus spreads her wings and backs off a bit from Dorvhan, unable to escape his current reach she bobs and weaves as she begins to concentrate, as purple and black swirls begin manifesting around her head.
5ft step, wings are thematic and I can't fail my hover check. cast SLA defensivly:1d20 + 21 ⇒ (10) + 21 = 31
If anybody has any better ideas for Pandoor, the DR and SR makes attacking with weapon or spell difficult and neither hold person nor daze monster can work. The acid and fire flasks are useless and I don't see anything like a tanglefoot bag so CLW wanding may be his best choice. Certainly open to suggestions.
@GM: I believe that 27 is accurate unless I've completely missed something. ;-)
Feeling the pressure as his life force dwindles, Paeter sees Dorvhan land a massive blow on the succubus and sees hope. "Kuthon, guide my hand!" he yells as he stabs twice with the dagger and takes a swipe with his shield. "This damned thing should be dead soon!" he calls, hoping to inspire the group.

All of Falco's meaningful spells are used up and he has lots of scrolls but mostly situational stuff that isn't needed here so I guess I'll keep buffing Dorvhan for now. I've still got 5 more Fortunes after this round.
Falco stays behind the large dwarf and keeps offering him some foresight on how to hit the flying demon.
After edging closer to the succubus after killing the babau, Paeter is finally in range to leap forward and strike out at the flaming woman in tandem with Dorvhan. "Now, Dorvhan! STRIKE!" he cries as he slashes twice with the dagger and tries to knock the head off the demon with his shield.

Given that Dorvhan's attacks haven't been hurting her, I don't know that opening up wil lbe a good idea with that flame blade. I'm going to go for getting rid of that spell.
Dorvhan steps up and back 5' to buy some space and tries to dispel her Flame Blade: Dispel Magic:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Seeing that his shield is only hindering his strikes, Paeter snarls at Falco's words, but graciously accepts his aid. "I'll show you who is the defiled one!" he yells as he stabs twice with the cold iron dagger.
The first strike catches on the pew next to him, but he leaps onto the bench and stabs again at the woman and hits her flesh, causing a rather large wound for a dagger's blade. "Ha!"
