Unable to decipher the runes on the glabrezu's chest as the massive demon leads its abyssal summons, Lancyn quaffs a potion of bull's strength, then heals some of his wounds and turns his attention to the nabasu demon the party has been ordered to take down.

The nabasu demon flaps its great bat-like wings flying close enough to see its foes about 20 feet above the stone floor and utters a guttural incantation, pointing at all of you.

Brayne panics for a moment, stunned, unable to react to the situation at hand.

As the nabasu completes its casting, Brayne finds himself frozen in place and unable to move or act.

Kulga and Lancyn manage to shrug off the arcane powers of the demon. Kulga flies up above the nabasu's head, trying to smash in its skull with her shield. The demon ducks, evading the blow.

But as Lancyn uses the dwarf's distraction to seize the opportunity to head for the stone steps, the nabasu roars.

Brayne gets to take a save on his turn too, right? As a full-round action?

Indeed, yes, any PC that fails the first save may spend a full-round action (that doesn't provoke an AoO) to make another DC21 Will save.

Nella cringes as the nabasu's spell washes over her; though she's able to resist she can see that at least one of her companions wasn't. Grasping her holy symbol she channels a wave of positive energy, attempting to free her friends from the demon's spell.

"Shelyn, cleanse their minds and sweep away the fog!"

Nella uses Clarifying Channel. Anyone that fails their initial save vs. the demon's spell, including Brayne, can take an immediate action to make another save with a +2 sacred bonus~

(Placing Fuzzfoot in Delay, so we can advance the action.)

Giving her companions a second chance to shake off the nabasu's spell, Nella channels a clarifying burst of positive energy.

Taking advantage of the extended reach of his enlarged form, Caller of the Eastern Storm swings his equally enlarged earthbreaker at the demon, but it proves to be an illusive target.

The nabasu turns and flies to intercept Lancyn passing through the rubble on the way to the stairs up to the platform where the glabrezu Katazuul is leading the ritual to open the abyssal portal. The nabasu sinks its razor-sharp fangs into the paladin.
(The provokes AoOs from Caller and Kulga.)
Bite, Power Attack; Damage: 1d20 + 15 - 3 ⇒ (17) + 15 - 3 = 291d8 + 6 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 9 = 20

Thanks once again to Nella's channeling of positive energy, Brayne resists the demon's paralyzing spell.

As the demon turns to head off Lancyn, Kulga and Caller of the Eastern Storm try to hit it in the back. While Caller narrowly misses, Kulga lands a solid blow with her cold iron morningstar.

While Brayne pounds the paving stones, trying to catch up to the nabasu, Nella casts a spell to ensure the accuracy of the bolt she then loads into her crossbow.

Caller and Kulga pursue the demon. Again, the power of Caller's swing comes at the expense of his accuracy and his earthbreaker whiffs past the nabasu's skull. Kulga fares better, and lands another crunching blow with her morningstar.

Getting close enough to see what is going on, but not so close as to feel the heat of the Abyss, Fuzzfoot looks for a way to help. Finally, he decides to pull out a tangle bolt, loads it in his hand crossbow, and fires.

Brayne quaffs a potion of fly, while Fuzzfoot fires an errant tanglebolt from his hand crossbow.

The nabasu smiles and its eyes open wide in a death-stealing gaze. Then it focuses on the pesky dwarf with the hated cold iron weapon. Slipping away from the paladin, its claws flail, screeching across Kulga's armor and shield, but its bite nails a mouthful of the tasty slayer.

Curse of the Crimson Throne | Loot

For the last time, Brayne goes beast-mode. Like a winged wolverine, he tears into the nabasu. Fangs and claws are blunted by the demon's tough hide, but the spirit wisps seem not to care.

Then Kulga pushes the death-and-destruction switch on her cold iron morningstar. With a single, lethal crunch, she penetrates the nabasu's ribcage and the blunt-force trauma stills its demonic heart.

Victory!

(Caller and Lancyn: Still need to resolve a DC18 Fortitude save vs the nabasu's Death-Stealing Gaze.)

After exerting himself once more, Brayne let’s go and floats down on his back and lies resting for a moment next to the fallen demon. ”What a day!”

"Whew! Now that was something. What's next? Nothing?"

I am travelling, so may not get a chance to check back in before all done - so great game everyone! Thanks, GM Lorenzo! You did a great job keeping things moving (even when I was the slow one!), and all around nice job.

Caller of the Eastern Storm feels the withering effects of the nabasu's death-stealing gaze. Caller gains a negative level.

Still need a DC18 Will Save from Lancyn. Although Nella has already used her Clarifying Channel today, she can help with subsequent saving throw rolls each day.

***OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT***

The wicked glabrezu Katazuul, pierced by ballista bolts and scorched by spells, collapses as her portal sputters and closes. A moment later, a brass horn sounds a triumphant fanfare to announce that the fiend-flesh army has been routed. The march back to Absalom is a jubilant one, though rumors are running wild through the streets as to exactly who the invaders were, what they wanted, and why undead spies sprang to life shortly after beacons appeared around Skyreach. Despite rampant speculation of the Grand Lodge’s involvement in the invasion, the citizens as a whole recognize the heroism with which Pathfinder agents personally averted disaster and rode at the vanguard of the city’s victorious forces. Absalom’s primarch Lord Gyr—whom few remember seeing during the attack—remains silent on the matter, though Siege Lord Wynsal Starborn delivers a speech within the hour personally recognizing the Society’s key role in protecting the City at the Center of the World.

At the Grand Lodge, Ollysta Zadrian recounts news of the victory. “Soon after we stormed the siege castle and slew Katazuul, Absalom’s navy from Escadar arrived and sank what remained of the undead armada. Once again, Absalom has prevailed in the face of adversity!” Raising her armored fist in celebration, Zadrian shouts: “For Absalom! Absalom! Absalom!”

Master of Swords Marcos Farabellus seems only to have grown more concerned since the siege began, and he confirms what many agents had discovered earlier. “Based on many reports from Pathfinders, we have a reason to believe the attack was a concerted effort driven by several enemies of the Pathfinder Society. We now know that it was Pasha Muhlia Al-Jakri—once a respected leader of many Pathfinders—who used the Black Echelon codebook to summon the undead saboteurs. We have reason to believe Grandmaster Torch was involved, at least enough that his minions attempted to usurp Gulgamodh to turn against Absalom. Finally, we learned the demons in the siege castle were vassals of a powerful demon that’s no stranger to the Society, and it is not difficult to deduce that ex-venture-captain Thurl had a hand in creating the fiend-flesh army. Today, we emerged victorious, and I assure you that we shall ascertain these villains’ true motives and put a stop to them.”

That’s the end! Thank you for playing, everyone, and a particular thank you to all the hardworking GMs and backup GMs that made made this special possible.

"THURL!!"

I don't know if you can provide aid on a save, but if so, Fuzzfoot will provide a +4 rather than the usual +2, so he will try to help.

Help, inspired: 1d20 + 0 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 0 + (2) = 10
