You guys make it back to hut and are able to plan your next move.
I'll bet some gold on them coming back as a gnome
"The Grave Fairy we met could help, if we can get back there. Or if I can but rest and pray, The Lady of the Sun may deign to bring this soul back to life."
The hut is pretty secure as it has good dr and regeneration. The best advantage you have is the hit is still in the trees set back so not likely to have tanks reach you.
"Okay. Let's take watches and rest. Then tomorrow, we free a soul, raise the dead ... something about world anchors ... then Rasputin. I think the middle bit will be clearer tomorrow."
Jetro takes watch. Since all that magic stuff is beyond him
"So the issue we'll have with trying to raise or resurrect the fellow in the lamp is that it requires a very expensive diamond to conduct the ritual. Unless someone is holding diamonds, I think we'll have to seek out the Grave Fairy."
With the lantern in hand Duardlara spends some time in the Hut’s library researching a lantern goat. She is able to discover that the soul in a lantern is easily freed by opening the lantern. Once freed it is able to go on to wherever it is destined in the afterlife. Also if the lantern goat dies the lantern will automatically release the soul in 24 hours unless the new owner performs a ritual to keep the soul in place.
Well Cynehelm, I am sure you will endure your great trial ahead in thr interest of the greater good.
I think it will allow us to raise and speak to a scientist who knows about what is going on here. Likely about the world anchors at the corners of the fort and maybe about why Rasputin is half here, half not, and appears out of nowhere.
I can't remember well which parts of this are my guesses and which parts have been confirmed. But it is something like that.
"Let's go see what the grave fairy will require for their assistance."
Jetro will take the rear position.
I think it'd be: Titian, Duardlara, Cynehelm, Jetro.
Cynehelm
Jetro
Duardlara
Titian
yeti stalkers
headless siberian cossacks
Moving outside of the Hut to teleport yourself to a favorable location to get to the grave fairie you are immediately assaulted by a scout force that finally found the Hut. A mixed group of yetis and horsemen come at you from all around the Hut.
The yetis drink potions that they are carrying and rage. The cossaks all move forward (25ft due to difficult terrain) and fire their revolvers at Titian.

Jethro picks the nearest yeti and fire
Any yeti that gets within 15 feet of Jetro gets an arrow due to improved snapshot
Titan takes a bunch of hits, but his magic and form offer him some protection and healing.
He will attack the closest Yeti.
Cynehelm invokes a ring of slashing knives and swords!
reflex yeti
Siberian Cossack reflex
reflex mount
The yeti takes 3 arrows from Jetro and a pulverizing blow from Titian before finding itself in a swirl of blades. Jumping forward it just manages to avoid the circle of death. Its hunting companions are not as fortunate as they are all trapped outside the ring.
The single cossack caught in the ring of blades is not as nimble and takes the full impact of the spell.
Even with most of its undead essence removed it is still able to rise inside the ring to continue firing at Titian. The same can not be said for its mount that disperses in a cloud of smoke.
Duardlara disappears from view with no one able to track her whereabouts thus far.
Jetro unleashes all of the arrows. If the yeti goes down, he switches targets to the Croissant
Jetro puts down the yeti that was adjacent to Titian leaving just the cossack remaining inside the ring of swirling blades. The cossacks don't seem much put off by the blades as they are willing to stay outsdie of the ring and fire at the large behemoth inside. The yetis do try and find a weak point in the ring to get to the party.

Jetro fires a ?snap shot? wounding one of the yetis barging in at them.
3 of the yetis are able to make it Cynehelm, Titian, and Jetro and attack.

Cynehelm holds aloft the blazing symbol of blessed Sarenrae.
"Ring forth the Challenge Celestial!" and the air is filled with the sound of a mighty blast of trumpets.
Archon's Trumpet (Fort save DC 21).
Jetro keeps shooting at the yeti
Titian keeps soaking up bullets but one gets him in the neck causing a much worse wound than the others.Then he will start trying to cut down Yeti.
--------------------------------------------------
yetis 2-5 saves +14 each
cossacks saves +7 each
Cynehelm is able to get 1 of the yetis and all 3 of the cossacks stunned with his spell. Jetro continues to pump arrows into the yetis drawing gouts of blood from the holes in its chest. (done forget the elemental damage Jetro that your bow does.) Titian smacks the yeti to the south of him 2 times with one almost decapitating the yeti. The bite just hits bringing the yeti down and bleeding out.
Duardlara steps back toward the hut and between her friends before dropping a bead of fire among the enemies on the 'west' side of the combat.
Yeti saves +13 each
Cossack saves +5 each
The first 2 yetis fail to avoid the fireball and take a full blast of the damage. 1 of them dies to the flames. The other 3 are more graceful and only take half damage.
The Cossacks are not as lucky as 3 of them fail. All of the mounts disappear below them causing the stunned ones to fall prone. The one Cossack to the north keeps his feet though.
Ride checks not prone
3 Cossacks continue firing at Titian but will need to reload as their weapons have discharged all their shots for now.

Invisible, Duardlara casts fly and flies south with just enough elevation to pass over the blade barrier.
Die you filthy varmint.
Jetro fires a salvo of arrows in which the first just clips a yeti on the shoulder drawing a little blood but not deadly. His second shot though pierces the yeti thru the chest erupting out its back. The last shot also is on target as it his a second foe.
Badly wounded, Cynehelm thinks about healing the party, but decides instead to unleash some cleansing fire on everyone west and south of him (avoiding allies of course).
Titian continues to try to cut down Yeti that does not have a blade barrier.
reflex save
Cynehelm lights up the forest burning trees and roasting yetis. All that remains in the circle is 1 badly torched yeti by the cleric and the archer. Titian slashes and bites his way into injuring the last yeti on his side.
The two yetis know no fear though as they continue to rage at the party.

The cossacks reload and prepare another salvo against the giant troll like creature.
Jetro keeps shooting at the yeti closest, switching targets if it dies
Jetro kills the last remaining yeti threatening that side of the party with his first arrow. The last 2 arrows hit the final yet but is not enough to bring that one down. It sways there only it’s rage keeping it from falling down unconscious.
Titian will attack the one headless rider in the blade barrier.
--------------------------------------------------
Still invisible, Duardlara fires at the remaining yeti before flying over the barrier to get a firing angle on the cossacks outside.
The invisible elf flies upward slightly before moving toward the edge of the barrier and over.
Duardlara kills the last yeti leaving only the headless Cossack riders. To that end Titian smacks the Cossack by him twice!
Cynehelm is bleeding out in the snow.
With the yetis all gone the cossacks maintain their position and fire at the large troll on the large troll and on the archer.

"Blade on blade I like it."
