Just saw that webs are dismissible and getting Sheelah Lockjawed is a priority.
Edited
Beck Casts Lockjaw on Sheelah and giver her the order to attack the witch.
She moves into the webs and attacks the Witch from AG:20.
Combat Maneuver to move

sheelah has the witch grabbed!
Again the bodyguard jumps in the way of sheelah's attack this time ending up impaled on her teeth as she holds him fast like a rag doll.
She does have Nimble moves and can ignore 5' of difficult terrain per round. So that 5' isn't difficult terrain for her. but if it takes a move cause of the combat maneuver then it makes sense, but she can take a 5' in difficult terrain.
Gotta stomp the guard next round tho. So many attacks about to coming at you!
"It is as it should be Variel" - the tiefling retorts, swinging at the witch's bodyguard with his massive reach, in the hopes of clearing the field so they can overwhelm their main opponent - "Your minions fall! Surrender, and you will have a chance to survive and repent!"
The bodyguard is starting to take a beating from the spells thrown at him reducing his strength to taking numerous hits for RAdosek. He is now impaled and grabbed by Sheelah.
Helgash tries to get in on the action with Sheelah grappling him but the blow bounces off the platemail armor.
Variel swings his rapier charged with the shocking grasp hoping that the discharge does not hurt Sheelah as she has him in her maw.
for The strike is hard and true and thanks to Sheelah and those that have struck him before the bodyguard slumps over. HE is still upright only due to Sheelah holding him.
Bottom of Round 4
The witch sees his bodyguard fall and tries desperately to escape out of the webbing but fails miserably as the group starts to close in around him.

"I'm leaving the web up so he remains trapped... I hope that's okay... we don't want him flying out a window or anything..." SHe then fires a ray of frost at the enemy witch.
"Hi. You shouldn't peek on people when they're sleeping...it's rude," He fires again.

Jetro strings hopefully the final arrow.
Sheelah gives the poor body-guard a shake and drops his corpse, going to attack the witch, trying to get a grab.

If I can get a grab next turn beck will ask to drop trees...
Helgash moves forward a single large step, growling at their foe - "Surrender fool! State your name and purpose in this most foul of places, and you may still live to pledge your case to the authorities!"
Twisting his weapon at the last moment, he tries to simply knock him out.
Radosek sneers at you Helgash before retorting back. fool, I am queen Nahzena's personal apprentice and lover. Never will I bow to you. If anything should happen to me she will seek you out for her revenge. I spied on you this morning and have spoken to her already regarding your fate. Once she is done with Baba Yaga's hut in Whitethrone she will seek you out personally to flay the flesh off your bodies and to resurrect me from the dead. You may have won this fight but you will never defeat her...
With that Helgash knocks him out tired of listening to any more of his ranting.
"Personal apprentice and lover? The things some folks do for a passing grade," The gnome tisks before looking at the others, "Well, we've made an enemy if she wasn't one already. Can we burn the body and scatter the ashes? He was bragging about being resurrected. I'd at leas like to make it hard."
Sounds good to me.
"He still lives, and should thus be securely bound, gagged, and brought to judgement before the people of the region he has helped terrorize" - Helgash moves in to remove everything from their foe except for his clothes, then tying and binding him as securely as he can - "As well as his other associate we have captured. Wouldn't you agree friends?"
"Well, Helgash, if that's how you want it, but if these people are as scared of him and his 'lover' as I think they are, they may release him out of fear. True Justice requires freedom" The gnome muses
"If his flight was a spell, he cannot cast it while bound and gagged, but if he was flying via a witch's hex, he can do it with a thought. In addition to the bonds you've put on him, Helgash, tether him to something he cannot carry while flying - a bed or a dresser or something heavy. Just a suggestion, in case..."
Venja considers a moment, then adds, "The locals of Waldsby and other towns might be too fearful to apply true justice in his case. I suggest we make a decision as to his fate, and do so quickly. What do you say, Nadya, as you definitely have a pony in this race.?"
You got a good point there Venja, if it gets out that the townsfolk axed him, then I wouldn't be surprised if there is retaliation.
As Nadya is asked she will give her input on the matter. To be honest Helgash, I don't know if the people will rally like you would like. There are some like the inn keepers that would oppose such action while others would be too cowed and scared of retaliation to support you. Jetro and I are probably the only ones that would publicly support you. I personally would take Xanxan's approach and burn the body. In fact if you would allow it, I will see to it personally as repayment for the loss of my only daughter.
Nadya's eyes turn cold and all resemblance of the Nadya you now disappears. I would only ask that you strip him of his gear and leave me alone with him for the day. Ignore what you may hear as you recoup and rest. After the day is over, rest assured that he will trouble you know longer and not have a chance to be brought back to life.
She looks to Helgash at this as he is the most righteous to see if he will allow it.
Venja shrugs. "Works for me... have at him. I believe he's already been stripped of gear but I'll double check to make sure none of his clothing is magical and that it hides nothing he could use."
She casts detect magic and examines him thoroughly to make sure nothing remains on him that he could use. Then she examines the gear that HElgash removed from his body previously to determine what is magical and what it might be, if anything.
Hmmm. I think just lopping his head off and burning is fine, no need to get into that sticky stuff.
Helgash stares hard at Nadya, and at the foe lying prone. Taking a step towards the woman, he cups her face in his blood stained hands - "I mourn still for your loss Nadya" - his eyes flare - "And whatever joy you may garner from making him suffer will only be fleeting" - he adds, drawing his longsword, and placing it on a table next to them - "Take Iomedae's symbol and put him down with a quick, clean death - rest assured he will be suffering an eternity of punishment for his deeds, and keep your immortal soul clean" - he smiles, turning to leave.
"I will be patrolling the grounds, making sure no reinforcements are making their way towards us" - the large tiefling leaves without another word.
"e's your prey. We was jest helping yes since it were part o' or mission. I m'self'll be otherwise occupied while yer doin yer business wit' 'im. Maybe a once-over o' the place ta make sure we fits everthin o' value?" Beck suggests, not wanting to chide Nadya, even though he's not necessarily at peace with what she may intend.
Very well then I will take and finish him. Since Helgash you will be on the lower level and beck you will be up here with ill be on the third level if you have need of me. There is a couple of things I must obtain before I head there. Good luck on your searches.
Nadya drags the unconscious Radosek behind him and uses the teleporter disappearing from sight.
Beck there are a couple of doors on this level leading out from the main room. In this main room there is a lot to explore. Desks, shelves, alchemical sets, and the floating rotating holographic map of Golarion with the lay lines all over it. What do you want to search?
Let's toss the place and look for any goodies. Jetro does so.
Venja will cast Detect Magic and make sure Jetro doesn't miss anything, examining papers and the map with the ley lines as well.
Venja you find
This fragile-looking wand appears to be nothing more than a sharpened icicle nearly a foot in length, though it is as sturdy as any wand and the ice never melts. A combination of arcane tool and weapon, icicle wands find frequent use amongthewinterwitchesoflrrisen,and traders have carried them as far south
as the mountains of Cheliax, Andoran, and Taldor. An icicle wand functions primarily as a wand of ice spears (see page 72), granting its user the ability to create and turn icy terrain against her enemies. In addition, an icicle wand can also be wielded as a masterwork dagger that deals l point of cold damage with a successful attack in addition to normal dagger damage. An icicle wand with a caster level of 7th or higher functions as a +ifrost dagger instead.
ICE SPEARS
School conjuration [cold]; Level druid 3, sorcerer/wizard 3, witch 3
Casting Time i standard action
Components V, S, M (a small stalagmite-shaped crystal) Range close (25 fl:. + 5 fl:./2 levels)
Effect 1 ice spear/4 levels
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw Reflex halfand see below; Spell Resistance no F a v o r e d b y t h e s p e l l c a s t e r s o f l r r i s e n , t h i s p o t e n t s p e l l
can disrupt spellcasters, topple enemies, and break even seemingly unstoppable charges.
One or more giant spears of ice lance up out ofthe ground. Each stalagmite-like icicle affects a 5-foot square and tapers to a height of10 feet. You may cause a number of ice spears equal to one spear for every 4 caster levels you possess to burst from the ground. A creature that occupies a square from which a spear extends (or that is within 10 feet of the ground below) takes 2d6 points of piercing damage and 2d6 points ofcold damage per square-creatures that take up more than 1 square
can be hit by multiple spears ifyour caster level is high enough. The explosive
growth can also trip foes.
When the spears erupt from
the ground, they attempt a combat
maneuver check to trip any targets that
take damage from the spears, with a total bonus equal to your caster level plus your
Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier,
whichever is highest. Each additional ice
spear beyond the first that strikes a single
foe grants a +io bonus on this combat maneuver check. If the check is successful, the ice spears knock the foe prone. A successful Reflex save halves the damage and prevents the trip attempt.
Ifyou cast this spell upon an area covered with ice or snow, such as a glacier, frozen lake, or snow-covered field, the spears strike with additional force. Saves against the effect take a -2 penalty, and the spell effect gains a +4 bonus on the combat maneuver check to trip foes.
Ice spears created by this spell remain after they do their damage. They melt as normal depending on the surrounding environment. They no longer damage foes in their square, but can provide cover. An ice spear has hardness 5 and 30 hit points.

In addition you know that the 'globe' of Golarion is magical as well.
Jetro you find among the various laboratory equipment...
the laboratory alcove contains enough active ingredients
and supplies to constitute a full alchemist's
lab. Many completed alchemical items are stored on the shelves in the alcove as well, including two flasks ofacid, three flasks ofalchemist's fire, two pinches offlash powder, three flasks of liquid ice, three smokesticks (each a different color), a sunrod, two tanglefoot bags, three thunderstones, 15 tindertwigs
in a silver canister (worth 50 gp),
and three applications of cold iron
weapon blanch.
Venja you see that the cauldron is also magical.
Many of the books on the tables and shelves are beyond your knowledge Jetro as they deal with spell forms and magical formularies.
Venja as you are studying the key lines I need a know geography please.
Venja tucks the wand in her belt, without intent of taking it from the party, but just in case she needs it before we divide things up officially. She'll point out the rest of the items and ask Variel if he can identify the potions, scroll and ring. She'll turn her attention to the globe...
Venja you think that this globe represents just one of many such globes that is helping to power the eternal winter that is creeping over the land.
Plenty of items here that can be tossed to ruin someone's day. Jetro points out the alchemetical items. The cold iron will be plenty helpful against fey. Only lasts for one blow though.
"Oh wow, that's purdy!" Beck says of the globe, examining the lay-lines along the lands.
Say about three tinder twigs each? If we meet more ice fey the bottled fire will be handy.

Xanxan will also look around, peeking for secret caches... or not secret ones... he's not picky.
"Look!" he says holding up string, "twine!"
Venja you can tell that the holographic image of the Golarion is a representation and not an actual device. Destroying the sponsors providing the image would do nothing for IOU.
Beck you examine the globe and you call easily find Waldsby and Heldren. You also notice that a single solitary ley line connecting the two locations. You surmise that by shutting down the ley line you would end the portal back home. How to do thatis another matter entirely though.
Spellcraft checks please with Venja getting a +4 for being a winter witch
Xanxan there are a couple of rooms off the main room if you want to explore them with Jetro while beck and Venja examine the globe.
Helgash, you take care of the dogs on your rounds and go out of the walls making a circuit. Outside of a couple of small winter rabbits you don't see anything moving close by.
Jetro makes sure Xan doesn't get replaced by a doppleganger.
Xanxan decides to snoop at some of the rooms off the main area...
With the amount of information Venja it will take you about an hour to go thorough it. Nt really too much of an issue but letting you know. Doing so will give you and whomever else is going through it with you an additional +2 n the spellcraft check.
Xanxan to the north and southwest are two rooms that are fully furnished bedrooms.. Clearly Radosek and his bodyguard slept up here. The furnishings in the rooms along with the artwork on the walls of ?summer? images would be worth around 750gp. A book rests on one of the night stands by the bed.
To the east the doorway opens up to another bedroom, this one clearly more opulent than the other two. Rich luxuriant bedding with an enormously high thread count sits on the bed while to the south a white linen curtain hangs in the doorway.
Venja takes the time to peruse the documents, then turns her attention to the globe.
Mighty fine furniture to sell for cash I reckon. Jetro muses as he looks at the bedrooms.
Variel takes a look at the remaining items and tries to identify them as well.

scrolls

Trying to play off his ignorance VAriel looks around the room at other stuff and lets the items set not he table.
That sounds like a great idea Jetro. Split everything up as well as we can.
Venja you are able to figure out exactly how the key line is being used to create the connection. It is a winter witch trick of conjuring the cold from one area and bringing it to the other. You are pretty sure that if you cast a conjuration spell on the ley line while standing in the summoning circle on the floor you could disrupt the flow along this ley line. The problem is that you will have to concentrate on reversing the effect while the spell is being cast. Also you realize that only by being in the circle can the effect be ended here. IT won't do anything for any other portals that may be opened. By closing this one here though you will be resigning everyone to the fact that they are stuck here with no immediate path home.
