Gallix moves up to stand just behind Uesugi and quickly downs his potion. From what Cup and Peppers have been saying about these things, he in not interested in getting tagged by these creeps!
Move up and down the potion of Shield of Faith.
AC 25 this round due to Mutagen/Shield of Faith.
"And the spell is complete. Sir Uesugi, I will... oh, you ran ahead..." Sirettis tries to chase after him, but he's just out of reach. Instead, she places her hand on Gallix's shoulder.
Uesugi watches blood shoot from a new wound carved into his chest, and feels suddenly sapped of energy.
Uesugi, make two DC 17 Fort saves vs energy drain or take 1 negative level for each failed save.

Heads up, GM! If Uesugi fails this one, Cup will use Saving Finale to give him a reroll on it.
Both sand bullets hit the undead villain, and the Ragewight becomes a four-eyed Rage...sight. Ba dum-tss
The Bodak approaches, staring upon Uesugi with a dark gaze. Its smoldering eyes light up with violet smoke, and Uesugi feels sapped of power once more.
Death Gaze. Succeed at a DC 18 Fort save or take 1d4 ⇒ 2 negative levels!

Sirettis: I'm pretty sure enlarge person is short range, not touch, fyi.
Mr Peppers fidgets a bit as the creatures have taken a beating and are still advancing "These seem quite powerful, I suggest some care here my friends..."
So long as the two ragers are still standing, Mr Peppers focuses his energies into an ability he hasn't used in ages. He points his fingers and 4 large, pushy magical missiles fly from his hand, two each striking the ragers with a blast of force so strong it threatens to topple them over.
Toppling Spell (Metamagic): Your spells with the force descriptor knock the affected creatures prone. Benefit: The impact of your force spell is strong enough to knock the target prone. If the target takes damage, fails its saving throw, or is moved by your force spell, make a trip check against the target, using your caster level plus your casting ability score bonus (Wisdom for clerics, Intelligence for wizards, and so on). This does not provoke an attack of opportunity. If the check fails, the target cannot attempt to trip you or the force effect in response. A toppling spell only affects spells with the force descriptor. A toppling spell uses up a spell slot one level higher than the spell's actual level.
Oh wow, I always thought Enlarge Person was close! I'll still enlarge Gallix so we don't have to retcon stuff, but that does mean I get a standard action back.
If I get a standard:
Sirettis grins and points her fingers at the blue ragewight. A streak of lightning zips from her hands as it cuts through it and the creature in the back!
Why yes, I did prepare Lightning Bolt this morning! Reflex DC 19 to halve the damage.
Whether it not it makes its save, Sirettis fries the blue-boned Ragewight into a heap of ash. Red is knocked prone by Mr. Peppers extra powered arcane missiles.
All around you, the sound of Twinhorn warriors shouting warcries as they defend their encampment has you feeling inspired!
With the Twinhorn Allies bonus, each PC's next successful attack on an enemy causes that enemy to be considered flanked, and you gain 3d8 additional damage to that target
Uesugi's crown of swords damages the Bodak modestly, but his vicious katana slice decapitates the remaining Ragewight.

“UNDEAD! Abomination! Behold the wrath of dragons!” Longjing lowers his head, and gores the undead on his tiny horns with hitherto unseen ferocity!
AoO:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 111d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
The dragon finally attacks! Longjing digs his horns into the Bodak's mangy sides, deftly dodging its fist as he does so. D unleashes an explosion of kinetic energy, and all that's left of the undead creature is half of its foot when the resulting dirt and dust settles.

“Do we want to go straight to that portal?” Cup asks. “If we can close it, I think we could save the armies a world of hurt.”
Mr Peppers nods as he watches Miss Cup cast her invigorating spell "I've always enjoyed that spell, I wish I could trade haste for it, haste just doesn't seem as useful I guess." He ponders as he looks around for this supposed portal.

Gallix turns his enormous head toward Mr. Peppers and cries in a booming voice, "Bite your tongue, Peppers! I can punch people so many times with that awesome spell of yours! I love all of your magic. Both of you!"
Following the elimination of the Bodak, Medda rushes over. "Thank you for your assistance, but there's no time. Creatures are pouring out of a portal near the stone circle. Please, make haste there, hold back the tide of the undead and find a way to close it!" She turns to head back into the camp, where you watch as enlarged Anok rips the head off of a Ragewight.
___
The clearing on the riverbank features a circle of standing stones with a large stone altar at its center. A shadowy tear floats above the altar, so dark that what little light shines from the stars seems to become trapped inside. Eight large tendrils of inky darkness coil around the menhirs as if keeping the stones in a stranglehold. Other tendrils lick out from the shadowy rift as if tasting the air.
The haunting whisper of the rift only gets louder the longer you stand around. You'll have to rush in and stop it from unleashing any further foes!

Before everyone leaves, Cup sings and casts Good Hope!
♫ The portal’s open!
Just like before
With the same undead by the score
Who knew they’d keep coming through the gates?
For weeks we've roamed with the tribe
Tryin’ to keep Medda and her friends alive
Finally they're opening up the gates!
There'll be actual real dead people
It'll be totally strange
But wow! Am I so ready for this change
'Cause it’s a grand Red Arm endeavor
There'll be music, there'll be fights!
‘Cause it’s a grand Red Arm endeavor
I'll be singing through the night
Don't know if I'm elated or sassy
But I'm somewhere in that zone!
'Cause it’s a grand Red Arm endeavor
Hear the undead groan! ♫
Mr Peppers as well casts haste before everyone flies or runs off "Be fast fast faster, but if you don't let me get at least one fireball off on a group of undead you'll regret it!" He zips off towards the portal with great haste!

Are the Shield of Faith and Enlarge Person spells from the previous fight still active?
Gallix rushes around the bend in the river, letting the magic in his boots carry his feet through the dense forestation on this side, until he is able to break through and make it to the edge of the standing stones.
"Little Dragon come your faithful steed requires you. Whatever dead ravages this camp we must be there to put them down! Carry the shugenja stick I will need it's blessing again."
Uesugi heads off with Little Dragon trailing behind the barbarian.
Follow after the other. Will have Longjing ready to recast nless weapon on my katana
Yup, still active, Gallix! Let me go supersize your token... Done.
The whole party advances on the standing stones, rift, and strange, tentacled monster, who opens a hole in its face to speak in a monotonous voice.
"Soon, Eshimka's forces will pour from this portal and overrun you barbarians. The day of vengeance is upon us!"
As the creature floats over to him, Gallix finds the world grows completely silent. Soon, he can't even hear the sound of his own breathing.
The monster points at Gallix with four tentacles, and his mind is overtaken with fear.
Or is it? Roll DC 16 Will or become panicked, succeed and only become shaken for 1 round.

Continuing to maintain courage Cup activates* her nifty boots again and flies towards the island where hopefully she can get a better look at the creature!
What knowledge do we need to identify it, GM? Religion? Or, if I have been a good little gnome, planes?
____
* Bah. Activating magic items are a standard action!
Mr Peppers hastily scurries, well more like GLIDES, since he IS an Elf towards the standing stones and the rift, taking out his spellbook of all things as he goes "Well that thing looks nasty, 'Sugi my friend, get up here quickly before Gallix gets himself into more than he can handle alone!"
K Religion, DC21:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21Defenses
He ponders the characteristics of the creature as he lets loose a barrage of missiles. Pew Pew Pew Pew Pew!

Pep, remember your Good Hope bonus!
I remembered but I forgot to add it in, looks like it wouldn't have changed anything anyhow. And its about time I beat you on a knowledge check these days. Get outta that library and back in the kitchen and make this Elf a sammich!

"-- ---- -- -------- ---- --- ---- ----," Gallix shouts back at the creature as it attempts to fill him with dread, though no one can exactly hear what he yelled, not even himself. He cannot completely shake the effect of the creature's malevolence, but he's not about to let that stop him from doing whatever he can to take this thing down!

Prepare an attack against any creature that comes within range (15ft with Lunge active).
Mr Peppers watches as the creature ignores Sirettis's spells "This foe is extremely resistant to magical spells, be wary unless you've invested a significant amount of time into defeating such defenses."Like I have, because I'm the greatest arcane spell slinger that's ever lived, or will live.. unless I have children. Then maybe...
Tall, dark and full of himself prepares to blast the creature yet again.

"Go, Pep! Blast that thing!"
I don't have sandwiches, but I do have four days of bread... Wait. It's stale now! We've been traveling for weeks. Never mind!
I'd forgotten to mention that the area within the standing stone circle is dimly lit. Anyone without LLV or Darkvision needs to roll concealment > 20. Concealment vs Gallix:1d100 ⇒ 39
Mr. Peppers recognizes the body snatcher, and knows that it has channel resistance and spell resistance. +4, SR 23
While Mr. Peppers pelts the creature with magic missiles, enlarged Gallix slams a fist down on one of the body snatcher's tentacles, and D fires a sand blast from afar. Sirettis' spell fizzles.
The body snatcher floats up above a standing stone, and over Gallix's head, nearing the ground near Uesugi. It reaches out to grab him in its tentacles.
Tentacle:1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 381d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 Grab:1d20 + 28 ⇒ (7) + 28 = 35 Constrict:1d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
And manages to do so, the underside of the tentacle spreading a layer of thin mucus on his skin.
DC 21 Fort Save vs Apocalypse Shakes
I believe Mega Gallix gets an AoO here with that crazy 15 foot reach
With the creature much closer, Mr. Peppers, Sir D, Uesugi, and Longjing also find the world grow eerily silent around them. As per the silence spell.
Whole party goes again!
Uesugi (-25, grappled), Body Snatcher (-83, grappling)
Mr Peppers feels the stillness and silence surround him as the Bodysnatcher gets closer Oh I see how it is... guess I'll just back up before I pelt you A SECOND TIME!
Mr Peppers moves back a ways and unleashes hell! (Hopefully)
Gallix takes an oversized sidestep and begins to unleash a barrage of boulder-sized fists upon the body snatcher!
