Ranalus also moves up, using Stealth (taking 10 for a 25) and looks and listens across the chasm.
Perception:1d20 + 25 ⇒ (1) + 25 = 26
Wyran and Ranalus peer across the the bridge and chasm as several figures come into view, 3 humanoids with heads afire, the one in front calls out..
I see you over there, turn yourselves right around and exit the chamber. Go back to the outside world, as this territory falls under the City of Brass’s jurisdiction. Leave now or I'll have to make you leave.

Ranalus slinks away and then casts Resist Energy (Fire) on himself. 90 minutes, 20 points fire resistance.
I would assume hours per spells would already be up; less than that you would be casting now.
Ranalus (sneakily), Wembly, and Enora begin buffing themselves, as Kalangkang begins a parlay with the fiery creatures. It appears there leader is unfazed by the arcanist's pacifistic intentions.
She casts a spell on herself and then adds You see that may be true. But I see you casting your spells back there. Your wee folk. Like I said this place belongs to the City of Brass and none of you look like an efretti or azer. So I'm thinking that means you need to leave!

did not realize wembly had line of sight to them
”Does the City of Brass not accept visitors? What about trade? Are you totally like self sufficient? We seek information and may have information valuable to you. We are not casting spells to offend. Certainly us wee folk are no threat to the mighty Azer of this awesome city“
He flies up and closer 20’...staying over land atm.
Ansha resists the urge to facepalm. Calling out to the flameheaded leader, she says, "We are hardly foes, but we do have a purpose for being here. Perhaps we can work something out for our safe passage. Surely we don't have to come to blows over something inconsequential. I mean, as my companion said, surely you could benefit from interacting with us in regards to trade,
no? Maybe we have something you need to know! But you'd never know with such a negative attitude. So why don't just take a step back so we can all get along?"
As she talks, she gesticulates with her hands- hiding a spell's incantation behind her words. Confusion, CL7, DC21. Centered on the flame-headed lady in the lead.
They have to beat her Bluff AND Sleight of Hand rolls to notice that she cast a spell. Also, her Subtle Enchantments feat means that if they succeed on their Will save, they have a 50% chance to not notice they've made a successful save against Ansha's spell.
At Wembly words the azer woman replies, Information, what information?
As the buffing continues, Ansha speaks her oh so silky words. And just as both she and Kalankang are ready to cast there offensive spells, the Azer woman suddenly gives a surprising reply.
Okay yeah, work something out for your safe passage, that sounds good to me. Your right we don't really need to fight. What will you offer?
The azer seems willing to let you pass.
Decision time, do you want to initiate combat or continue to parlay?

Well, we cannot exactly give you the information yet...not without you either letting us pass or telling us something you can offer in return? Information cannot be taken back once shared. Wembly replies.
The azer replies to Wembly, Oh I can do both, I know a thing that will help you. But I don't know what you could tell me that will help us out, perhaps you can give us something instead.

Ranalus keeps quiet, tries to remain hidden, and observes the negotiations.
I'm conflicted here, because Diplomacy takes a full minute, and my casting only takes one round. That, and I think for as much as Ansha prefers to talk, she wouldn't stop her casting once she'd started, especially with anything mind-manipulating.
As the negotiations continue, no one is aware that Ansha is casting her Confusion spell. The azer leader suddenly blinks her eyes for a second, and a realization comes across her face...Who did that! I was willing to let you pass! Double crossers! They just tried to confuse me, attack you fools.
The Azers are a bit slow to react to the command, and Wembley, Wyran, and Ranalus all get the jump on the situation.
The following spells were successfully cast...
Ranalus - Resist Energy (Fire)
Wembley - Fly
Enora - Mage Armor, False Life, Fly, Mirror Image
Wyran - Barkskin, Mage Armor via Enora
Other hours per spells you would normally cast while adventuring (indicated in your next post)
Wembly, Wyran, and Ranalus are up; Wembley if your green cat would be present place his icon on the map; same with Impy, Kalangkang if he will participate in combat
"What are you talking abou--" Ansha starts, attempting to deflect blame. But then, suddenly there's a hound archon attacking the azer leader, and it doesn't really seem all that necessary any more.
Missed my window of opportunity to Deflect Blame the leader onto one of her cohorts. Ah well.
Wembley quickly summons a hound archon that hits with its sword twice, but misses the bite. Wyran also advance and lands a carefully placed kick. The azer howls in pain at the attack, the sting of the betrayal in her eyes.

"Blessings of the Night upon us all."
Ranalus casts Bless.

Thank you - was posting quickly on my phone and hadn't notice their movement. I took your suggestion.
As Ansha looks on, Kalangkang opens a spike pit under one of the azer warriors. The warrior falls into the pit landing with a thud and is so confused, it slams itself into more of the spikes. The other azer, also confused, slices himself deeply with his bill, as he does he swirls and manages to avoid falling into the pit.
Attack bonus from Battle cry doesn't stack with Bless, although the saving throw bonus is higher
Enora flies forward and casts haste on Wyran, the archon, and herself. Wembley flies forward letting loose a battle cry, the archon moves into responds by advancing on the azer leader, the archon's sword misses. Wyran steps up to the confused azer and attacks landing the middle blow, which seems to get its attention. @Wyran - your haste so you get one more attack if you want.

Ranalus moves up and activates Feyskinned, calling on the power of the First World to grant himself DR 10/Cold Iron for 1 minute.
Content with the chaos she's caused, the enchantress simply watches, fighting down a smug, amused grin before it threatens to spill over into gleeful cackling. Still delaying.
Ansha sees the azer leader retaliate with magic, and the delicate elven features of her face cloud over with a frown. That wouldn't do at all! The elf produces a scroll from the case at her waist and waits.
Readied action to counterspell using a scroll of Dispel Magic.
@Wembley -- yeah I rolled the SR check in the rolls above, also not evil. Enora went before the Archon, so I counted it from the last position, so Haste would have hit it.
Kalangkang opens another pit under the azer, the azer manages to leap to safety. The confused azer warrior (yellow) tries to shield bash Wyran, but the crane style monk easily avoids the attack. While down in the pit, the other azer tries to begin climbing out, howls of pain come from below.
AC: 38, touch 29, flat-footed 27 (+4 armor, +4 natural armor, +1 shield, +1 deflection, +5 Dex, +6 dodge, +3 monk, +4 Wis) Note: I forgot the extra dodge bonus from Acrobatics ranks before. My calculation now includes both that bonus and the bonus from haste

His hand covered in shadow, Ranalus moves up to the caster, reaches out, and says "Darkness take you." Touch Attack:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
If that hits, she treats all other creatures as if they have concealment for the next 2 rounds, so all of her attacks have 20% miss chance.
Use domain SLA, single 40' move, and make free touch attack. While it isn't extremely debilitating, it's a low-cost option, and I'm hoping to make her focus on me, since I have DR, fire resistance, and great saves.
