Ryskovich loads and fires an arrow at the blinded warrior.

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 151d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

"Now, focus on her." Fade says to the group.

He quickly gathers sand from the ground letting his aether take a rough crescent shape before it flies through the air slicing toward Helkit.

TK Blast: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
slashing damage: 3d6 + 10 ⇒ (3, 5, 2) + 10 = 20

Fade gathers power to avoid the burn for the extra range(120) on his blast instead of Empower. Evariel, just use the enlarge on Matsu. He gave you a wand or a scroll for that.

Keeping in mind her favorite tactic, Evariel prepares a spell and watches Helkit.

Good idea, but she is too far away.

Ryskovich's arrows bounce off the warriors shield. Fade's blast sings through the air and hits Helkit, and the crowd roars in Fade's favor. The MC shouts as Helkit flips Fade the bird.

AND FIRST BLOOD IS DRAWN BY THE PATHFINDERS! WHAT SKILL!

Helkit then makes a motion towards herself, and you can just barely see the glint of a potion vial as she chugs something. Suddenly, she looks fuzzy, and her movements are incredibly quick! She suddenly rushes forward, her beast following behind her as she zips across the field putting the stone column between her and fade.

She waves a hand at the pathfinders and grins.

Come and get it.

Eclipse moves slightly and casts haste on the party. "There, that should help!"

Matsu declares his 2nd challenge at Hellkit and smiles suddenly he get´s stronger, faster feeling the canine face of his ancestors emerge as he draws on his blood to transform into his battleform.
ALter self to transform into an adlet. +2 strength+ 10 speed.
Finally he moves a few steps closer and draws his steel.

will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Helkit shouts back to her men who hold up their shields to protect themselves.

Maintain Delta formation! Advance!

The blinded soldier keeps one hand on his ally and is lead forward, but by the time they've approached, the glittering seems to have faded from his eyes.

Matsu

Did a self audit b/c +7 seemed low for me. Turns out I am shooting at a +9 normally

Ryskovich fires two arrows at Helkit, hoping to pierce her defenses. He than takes a step backwards, putting his martially superior ally Matsu between him and Helkit.

1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 301d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Crit?: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Crit damage: 3d6 + 9 ⇒ (2, 4, 4) + 9 = 19
if 19 hits: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

No bold, but it looks like it's Evariel's, Ryskovich's and Fade's turn.

"Nice job Rysky! Now lets see if I can knock her on her backside!"

The sands swirl around Fade as he gathers his power. Easily lifting no less than a hundred pounds of sand in front of him, Fade grins as he thrusts his hands toward Helkit, trying to bowl her over with his attack as much as damage her with it. After he lets loose, he shifts his position in front of Evariel in a protective manner.

Bowling TK Blast: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
magic blunt damage: 3d6 + 10 ⇒ (1, 2, 1) + 10 = 14
If damaged, Trip attempt: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

So it's not her first tactic, Evariel thinks as he releases his hold on the spell. Grateful for his allies' protection, he stays where he is and readies another spell.

Readying an action for the first of the humans to come within 30 ft of me, will cast break on their weapon. DC 15 Fort or it gains the broken condition.

fort: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

Realizing that she can't keep carefully approaching with the long range power bearing down on her, Helkit grits her teeth, standing up and and rushes forward... suspiciously dodging to the right before stepping forward. As she does so, she barks an order at her animal in another language. It rushes around the opposite side of the column, running up behind Fade to attack at his legs...

bite: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Takedown Trip: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Fade feels his legs pulled out from under him by the beast as he hits the ground. Helkit stands at the ready, waiting for him to try and stand.

Taking a five foot step forward Matsu is in contact with Helkit.
attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 251d8 + 23 ⇒ (4) + 23 = 27

Initmidate(cornugon smash): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41

Eclipse creates a pit under Helkit, hoping she falls in it.

reflex, dc 15 or she has to jump to a nearby clear space to avoid the fall. Pit is 10x10 and 30' deep.

Welp, so much for Helkit... I'll assume that everyone stops when someone yells to yield.

As Matsu beats on her, Helkit is driven back by the surprising power of the samurai. Finally, cut after cut goes through and Helkit screams out in pain as a deep slash cuts her and she falls bleeding to the ground. Before Eclipse opens his pit beneath her, one of her men screams out...

SHE'S DOWN! WE YEILD! DON'T KILL HER!

Her men rush to her one of them grabbing a vial and shoving into her throat as the MC turns to the roaring crowd.

YOU SAW IT HERE FOLKS! HELKIT SILVERBANE HAS BEEN DEFEATED BY THE PAAAAAATTHHHFIIIIIIINDEEEEERS! GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!

Helkit coughs as she's brought back around, and looks up at the pathfinders from the ground, holding her would.

Well... I suppose you win.... The law of grievance will be upheld. Pathfinder shipments will be safe from me and mine....

She looks up at the crowd as she's helped from to her feet.

And by the looks of it, from just about anyone else either.... You pathfinders are more scrappy then the tales would say.

She winces and begins to hobble away, assisted by her gladiators.

By the way.... the Razmirians are the ones who took the contract out on you. Figured a bunch of pansy scholars would be a easy haul... I'll tell them they can shove it... but watch your backs from now on. Their a tricky bunch.

PATHFINDERS WIN! VICTORY!

Having defeated Helkit in the arena, the team prove to the region how fiercely the Pathfinder Society defends its interests, and as a result, pirates of the River Kingdoms cease their attacks on Society-affiliated boats entirely, and Razmiran quietly retracts its bounty several months later to avoid seeming impotent. Soon after the fight, Holgarin Smine receives a delivery of crates stamped with the Silverbane seal, each box containing captured supplies that never made it to Mendev.

MISSION COMPLETE!

Success Conditions!:

Defeat all the Pirates - MISSION COMPLETE!
Learn of Helkit's Involvement, Challenge her, and defeat her in the arena - MISSION COMPLETE!

2 PRESTIGE EARNED!

Feel free to do wrap up role-play, I'll respond as needed for character building. I'll be sending out chronicle sheets this evening. Congratulations pathfinders!

Bait stops mid-cast and doesn't add insult to injury by dropping the unconscious Helkit into a pit, as teh drop might have killed her..

"Oh wow, Matsu! REmind me not to piss you off!" Bait grins as he says this...

When Helkit comes around and concedes with some grace, he nods and smiles a little. As she leaves, he says to her, "Thank you, Ma'am. You've got a good spirit."

When she's gone, he turns to his companions and says, "She's as gracious as she is formidable... don't want to piss her off either."

Picking himself up from the ground, Fade looks over the surrendering gladiators with a frown, but he says nothing. Holding his tongue has never been his strong suit, but he manages none the less.

As the MC announces their victory, his frown turns to a grin and he nods to the crowd, and he quickly grabs the hands of his nearest team members, raising them high to take in the cheers.

"Damn glad you're on my side Matsu, that's for sure. Good job. Same goes for the rest of you." he says the last over his shoulder to the rest of the team.

Looking to the leader of the other team, he grudgingly acknowledges her battle prowess, "You know Hellkit, you fight well. I mean I had you right where I wanted you, within a step of my deadly friend here that is, but you fight well."

As her gladiators lead her away and she calls back about the Razmirans, Fade adds, "Ok, now you're just being downright friendly. Thanks for the skinny on those bastards. We'll keep our heads on a swivel when it comes to them."

Ryskovich grits his teeth as he hears Helkit’s team “yield” as Matsu delivers devastating my blow after blow to her. He wishes he could avenge Bell and the others who risked their life to aid them. He know he couldn’t attack Helkit as it would outwardly evil, but he still wishes something’s my could have been done.

Bell, I hope you know we tried to avenge you. I hope Pharasma is kind to you and yours.

Evariel scowls as Helkit shrugs off his spell, and begins weaving another-- but just then, she falls under a flurry of quick cuts from Matsu's katana. "Well done, everyone," he says to his allies after Helkit surrenders. "You're all elves in my book."

Wohoo!
