Suliji holds up her arm to symbolically stop anyone trying to move towards Ratarion, which causes the Taldan man to flinch.
”He cleans up nicely, yes, but don’t overlook the blood of the innocent upon his hands. To his credit, though, he has delegated the lion’s share of atrocities to his agents abroad. If you take this conniving sociopath out of here then you’ll be condemning hundreds, perhaps thousands more to their deaths, even more to be sold into slavery! You have fought demons and fiends in the name of the Society, Hendric, and that is commendable, but this man is no different from those monstrosities save the plane he came from.”

Sir Hendric will use Sense Motive to discern if Ratarion is influenced by an enchantment effect. That's only a DC 25 which he automatically makes.
"Care to tell me what is going on, sir?"
If there is no answer, he will stow the lance, dismount, walk past Suliji, and sling Ratarion over his shoulder. Then walk back to the horse, put Ratarion on the back, and mount up again.
All this only once Suli and Kaldane are next to where he is now (so Kaldane is within range for a single move + Breath of Life if needed).

No need for you to do it Hendric, you did order Suli to.
Suli walks up to the man and throws him over Suli's own shoulder and walks back next to Hendric.
He’s not under any magical compulsions, he’s flat-out scared of Suliji.
Ratarion doesn’t speak.
As Sulii moves Suliji grabs her falcata from Nox and stands in the way of Sulii.
”Hendric, if you proceed with this then you will be killing more than you will be saving—listen to me before you do something you are going to regret!”
As she speaks, a number of blades begin rattling in their cases.

Can she see me? Cause if not, she wouldn't know where her sword is to grab it... I'm just a voice in the shadows.
Suliji, it's okay... I know what an awful piece of dung this man is. So what's going on? You just gonna murder him? Cause frankly, I'm okay with that, but we needed to make sure that the pathfinders aren't going to suffer for it...

Yipes.
Don't worry Suli, just take a deep breath with me....
He makes several loud breaths in and out.
Okay? Now, just talk with us. If your convincing, I'm more than happy to kill the man myself and use his head instead of yours. But our info said you where going to try and pin this on the pathfinder society. Not to mention the business with the dragon and the crazy lady with the god snot.... so just focus on me, focus on your breathing, and let's talk this out... we're just gonna hold onto the guy for a moment, he's not going anywhere, and your perfectly safe..

I am confused.
"We Heard from kromalag that you are an ambitious woman that pass some information to an evil dragon that hurt our Caravan and that your coordonate the attack on the Grand lodge!"
He turns to Hendrik.
Hendrik... Trust me. She could kill us if she wanted.

Sir Hendric finally looks Suliji in the eye.
"You may think you have all the angles figured and know the cascading consequences of your ploys. You're so clever. Good for you. I don't have any such delusions about myself. I'm just a knight. I'm sticking to my mission."
Retcon what I said before, none of Suliji’s gear is psychically significant.
The blades in the chamber begin to shake within their cases violently.
”You…stubborn…little…! I’m trying to help you!!!”
As Suliji screams the swords in the cases shatter out of them, coalescing into vaguely humanoid shapes and standing upright!
Because of how relatively little time was spent talking, I’m going to say that there’s still 10 rounds left on particulate form, and the other such buffs as appropriate.

Géatan will double move by flying (60 ft). Something doesn't feel right.
"Dammit, Hendrik!!!! You are sometimes more of a stick in the mud than a paladin and now she lost control of her psychic power!"
"Suji, I saw in your eye that your have lost control on your power. So. I will attack one of your sword creatures. Just tell us your story if you want to help us.."
Suddenly, from atop of the glass-less display case right next to Kaldane, an adamantine falcata shimmers and glows as a ball of energy lands and expands outwards 20’. For clarity, the sword itself cast an SLA. Not even going to hide it from you guys because this’ll just be faster, but it’s the AOE option of greater dispel magic, centered on the purple circle
CL Check to Dispel:1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24
It’s not targeting a specific spell, so everyone except Geatan gets something random dispelled from them that's CL 13 or lower (You got really lucky there, Hendric).
The sword then flies outward, right towards Geatan! It provokes from Tortuga

Nox sighs and sets his construct bane arrows in.
Hope this works... Suliji, I know you can hear and see me, stay safe, we'll fix this once we handle this thing.
Arrow Vs FF:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (6) + 19 = 25 Damage:1d4 + 1 + 8d6 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (3, 3, 4, 1, 6, 4, 1, 2) + 15 = 411 Str Damage, -2 to AC vs all, -4 AC vs self (Non stack)
Arrow Vs FF:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (17) + 19 = 36 Damage:1d4 + 1 + 8d6 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (5, 5, 3, 4, 1, 4, 4, 6) + 15 = 521 Str Damage, -2 to AC vs all, -4 AC vs self (Non stack)
Sniper Stealth:1d20 + 55 ⇒ (2) + 55 = 57
Also...He whispers, keeping his voice low, and not speaking to the message spell....
GM:
If you wouldn't mind letting me know if it would cause problems if the patron ends up with a arrow in his neck "Accidentally", i'd certainly appreciate it. Cause I don't plan on letting him walk out of her alive.
Greater Dispel Magic, Nox. Be sure to roll for that one.
Nox's first arrow manages to strike true...until it just happens to sneak through exactly the right hole in its amalgamation of swords to completely thread its way right through its form.
His second arrow, however, actually strikes true, but it felt like not all of his damage went through completely and constructs, btw, are immune to ability damage and bleed, but the creatures turn to look right at him!Also, what the heck happened to Xon?
Nox:
A whispered voice comes from over Nox's shoulder--it's Suliji's!
"That man personally gave the order to kill my friend, my....love...There's no telling what that man would do if left alive. He. Must. Be. Put. Down!"
Sense Motive 15 to open the spoiler below
Spoiler:
The sword-beasts aren't looking at Nox, per se, but they are looking right at his square.

Suli looks around a bit unsure. He then resolves with an action.
Swift : 6 ki points for Sow Time (picking the move speed buff from blessings of fervor). grab:1d20 + 23 ⇒ (17) + 23 = 40
With everyone else moving slowly, Suli moves over to the 'captive' man, grabs him, and moves him all the way out the doors and around the corner.
Sulii, you are aware that you don’t automatically move a grappled target, right? It’s part of a grapple check to maintain the grapple to move you and the grappled creature up to half your speed (or you could make a drag combat maneuver)
male Suli Monk (Ki Mysic, Monk of the Four Winds, Monk of the Sacred Mountain)18 | AC 36(38) T31 FF32(34) | CMD 49 | DR 3/- | HP 16/168 | Fort +18 Ref+17 Will+20 | Init+3 | Perc +21 | EA 10/15 | EF 15/18 | Ki 1/15
So according to my reading, grappling and maintaining a grapple are both standard actions. Could I just spend more standard actions to 'maintain' and just do what I did?
Absolutely, but I technically would need 2 more rolls to maintain and you would only be able to move him 80’ (you don’t get to move him on the initial grapple).
Side note: did Sulii have any buffs of CL 13 or lower on him?

I picked the movement speed boost from Blessings of Fervor, thus his move speed is 110ft. Yes, his strong jaw.
Tortuga’s AoO felt like it did next to nothing to the flying falcata!
Tortuga manages to trip Green, and hit with his first, third-to-last, and second-to-last attacks, but he felt that not all of the damage went through.
Green stands provokes from Tortuga and its body shifts as a different set of bladed weapons move their way towards its “hands.” It then tries to slam at Tortuga.
”That falcata! Suliji spent time hovering over that thing! It was a holy avenger that the half-orc must’ve corrupted in some way! There are weapons in there that could help you against her, but only I know the organizational method of the blades and which does what!”
PATHFINDERS GO! THE BOLD MAY ACT!

I think since Kaldane put the heroism on me and the only other effect that can be canceled is my vision elixer, that automatically gets broken. Also, I figured with the constructs but hey, we've faced weirder things.
Sense Motive:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Gm:
And he's going to cause the deaths of thousands more at the hands of monsters, just to make a profit. He's not leaving here alive... even if I have to take drastic actions to do it... but first, I gotta survive your friends, and I don't like that their looking at me...

"Ratarion, swear RIGHT NOW you'll cancel the Mwangi plan! Kaldane, I need to charge that sword."
Sir Hendric delays until after Kaldane.
Kaldane takes a 5' step, drops and picks up his katana (provoking from Green) and casts CLW on himself (provoking from Green if it has Combat Reflexes).
CLW:1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
He also regains 3 HP from Particulate Form (which also makes all the recipients immune to crits).
Kaldane is AC 40 with Barkskin and Blessing of Fervor.
If Green takes one AOO on Kaldane (but not two), then Sir Hendric will use his swift action to challenge the sword (figuring it counts as a creature). If Green took 2 AOOs, then Sir Hendric will save his swift for Snake Style or Mounted Combat vs an AOO from Green. Sir Hendric is AC 39 with Blessing of Fervor, or 37 if Challenge is active (but 41 vs challenge target).
He then does a Wheeling Charge on the sword.
attack:1d20 + 30 ⇒ (20) + 30 = 50From his usual challenge/charge/PA, -3 to hit and damage from Broken lance and loss of Str belt; +3 to hit and +1 damage from Blessing of Fervor and Prayer confirm:1d20 + 30 ⇒ (9) + 30 = 39 Unsure if it can take crits damage:3d8 + 138 ⇒ (7, 7, 2) + 138 = 154 crit (broken, so x2) damage:1d8 + 46 ⇒ (3) + 46 = 49
If he couldn't Challenge, then -54 damage (and -18 on the crit) but Snake Style at +43 or Ride at +32.

Since Sir Hendric is presumed to occupy all of the four squares (not just the center) and can use any one for determining cover, I think the adjusted pink line is viable.
Edit: It's also not clear what the furniture is, how high the display cases are, which ones are still intact, how tall the curtains are, how high the sword is... if the sword was clearly not visible then Sir Hendric would not have said "I need to charge that sword" and so Kaldane would not have tried to eat up AOOs.
Looks like Hendric caught on to what I was doing when I created his actual space at the start of his turn (which Google Slides actually keeps a record of). It's honestly so close that I'm just going to give it to you.
The sword shatters into a million pieces!
Suliji takes her actions, but no one can perceive them

Nox steps a smidge to the side and then launches another barrage of arrows at the enemy.
Xon. Eat the bastard.

Xon hears his master's orders and floats under the ground towards his target, reaching out to touch the man in a rush.

Deciding it was more preferable to him than dealing with all the bickering, Tortuga decided to continue to engage the constructs to keep them from harming anyone else.

Welp, that's that. Surprised it took this long honestly. I know you guys are angry, but if someone could get a dustpan so I only have to come up with the prestige to ress instead of true ress, i'd appreciate it.
Nox poofs into a cloud of dust, his equipment falling to the floor with a clatter.
