Amiri gets 8 temp HP when she rages so those would have been eaten up first with that last hit. Should be -10 instead.
Amiri turns in a flash, bringing her sword to bear against the new victim. With a slash, stab and hack she sends a flurry of attacks at the undead monstrosity.
Sorry, there weren't any x's which confused me greatly at the time.
Kyra presents her holy symbol.

With his offer of healing concoctions unheeded, Fumbus drops the two bottles on the ground. "Stay." he instructs them.
He then navigates around the brush, until he sees an opportunity to slash at the nearest undead.
looking at the combination of attacks and numbers, no doubt all threat is ceased, go ahead and heal up / exploration tactic and when I'm off work I'll move us to the last part of the scenario!

As previously stated, Kyra will be Detecting Magic in Exploration mode.
Amiri pokes through the hacked up bodies of the ghouls after the last one falls, "are they usually this coordinated with hit and run tactics and stuff?"
She uses her usual cleaning cloth to wipe off the ichor from her blade but the cloth is getting to be a bit stanky. The Kellid wrinkles her nose a bit, "ugh this one may just need to be pitched."
Once the area is checked, she continues towards their goal, keeping an eye out for further ambushes or dangers.
As you approach the mountainside, you come into view of a tall wooden structure raised about 25 ft high, akin to a watchtower, with a human ranger standing up top wielding a shortbow. As soon as he observes you, he shouts "In..truders!!" while shooting directly towards you! At that distance, Amiri is able to easily react to the shots.
Perception DC 18 (Free check):
The guards are under some kind of control or enchantment, and they seem to be struggling against their own actions.
A ladder on the north and south sides of each tower allows for easy access to the top of the tower. A PC who attempts to Climb the tower via a ladder can do so with ease. A PC climbing the ladder can move up to half her Speed without attempting an Athletics check. If a PC attempts to Climb a tower from the east or west side, the ascent is relatively simple, but requires more effort than using a ladder. Climbing the side of the watchtower requires a successful DC 14 Athletics check (see page 146 of the Pathfinder Playtest Rulebook for more information on climbing). A PC who falls while Climbing or from the top of the tower can attempt to Grab an Edge to avoid falling. See page 310 of the Pathfinder Playtest Rulebook for more information on falling

They are some ready actions happening, so in advance, if you move up out of the path, read the spoiler below.
Readied action:
Captivating Song activates(arcane, auditory, concentrate, enchantment, mental) Each non-harpy creature within a 300-foot aura must succeed at a DC 18 Will save or become captivated by the harpy’s song. On a failure, the creature is fascinated, and it must spend each of its actions to move closer to the harpy as expediently as possible, while avoiding obvious dangers. If a captivated creature is adjacent to the harpy, it stays still and doesn’t act. The effect lasts for 1 round, but if the harpy uses Captivating Song again on subsequent rounds, the duration extends by 1 round for all affected creature.

Fumbus retrieves a pair of bottles of [I]lesser bottle lightning[/ooc] and approaches quietly under the cover of the brush, ready to pounce if cleric's spell does not work. Quick Bomber; Sneak x2
To Kyra's surprise, whatever enchantment placed upon the guards does not break! Based on her effort, whatever has a hold on the ranger is unlikely to be broken by magical means.
I'm sorta going to assume we are told that by Kyra. And since I'm free to post now I'll go ahead so as to not hold us up.
Amiri slams her fist into her palm, "looks like we'll have to do this the hard way."
Judging the ground to cover and the gauging her best way to approach, Amiri yells a shout of battle "SURRENDER OR PAY THE PENALTY FOR ATTACKING PATHFINDERS!!!"
Blood pumping in her ears, she dashes forward, trying to quickly climb up the ladder and catch the guard in between reloads.
Rage, Stride, Stride w/ Climb?
When raging, she has a climb speed of 30 ft. Thus, she moves 30 ft in one stride and another 20 ft in her second stride to get to the ladder, is she able to use the last 10 ft of her move to start climbing up the ladder?
I see Merisiel's position updated on map, but no post. But since Amiri moved forward I'll activate the readied actions. Also feel free to redirect your movement with new map information.
As Amiri moves forward to take out the guard, more watchtowers are revealed from behind the trees. A guard readied for the attack releases an arrow striking amiri in the shoulder.
Green vs Amiri composite shortbow:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22P:2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 = 12
Blue's readied action has yet to trigger.
In the middle tower, a male harpy stands and overlooks, as Amiri gets into sights, he immediately starts releases an auditory distraction, humming a soothing melody.
Each non-harpy creature within a 300-foot aura must succeed at a DC 18 Will save or become captivated by the harpy’s song. On a failure, the creature is fascinated, and it must spend each of its actions to move closer to the harpy as expediently as possible, while avoiding obvious dangers. If a captivated creature is adjacent to the harpy, it stays still and doesn’t act. The effect lasts for 1 round, but if the harpy uses Captivating Song again on subsequent rounds, the duration extends by 1 round for all affected creature.
Kyra, Merisiel, and Seoni need to make a DC18 Will Save against fascination
The harpy is on the platform and has yet to take flight.
~~~
Encounter Round 1 Conditions: NA
Guards B(readied action), Harpy Fumbus (Fascinated), Amiri -11, Kyra Seoni, Merisiel
I don't remember the official ruling on rerolls but it makes sense to me that you should be able to use it.
Although the Harpies harmony sounds mesmerizing, the Pathfinders save for Fumbus manage to ignore it and focus on the task at hand.
Blue ready action.
The guard with the blue eyes gets a good view of Merisiel coming around and takes a shot! The arrow flies wide he is unable to get an accurate shot with the elf's nimble moves.
With Fumbus captivated, the Harpy flies around towards Merisiel and attempts to swipe at her with a Morningstar as she climbs the ladder. But he mistimes the swing.
Fumbus must spend his actions moving closer to the harpy as expediently as possible for the next round as he is fascinated.
The guard closest to the action draws his kukri in anticipation for Amiri's arrival while the others fire shots at the Pathfinders in the distance. A couple arrows finds Amiri's thigh as she climbs to the top of the tower.
Do the rest of us get to act in round 2 or were our actions already used?
Climb Speed - A climb Speed allows you to climb up or down inclines and vertical surfaces. Instead of needing to roll athletics checks to Climb, you automatically succeed and move up to your climb Speed instead of the listed distance.You might still have to attempt Athletics checks to Climb in hazardous conditions, to Climb extremely difficult surfaces, or to cross horizontal planes such as ceilings. You can also choose to roll an Athletics check to Climb rather than accept an automatic success. Your climb Speed grants you a +4 circumstance bonus to Athletics checks to Climb. You’re not flat-footed while climbing if you have a climb Speed. CRB Page 310
Amiri also had 8 temp HP from Rage that would have been soaked first so should be at -27 instead of -35.

Merisiel moves up the ladder and engages the guard. Pulling out her weapons she stabs at him.
Dagger of Venom Attack:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 Rapier Attack:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Kyra grips her holy symbol as the harpy's song confuses her momentarily. She desperately tries to retain her senses. If I succumb to this evil, then these innocents are doomed!
Kyra shakes off the terrible influence of the harpy and Strides forward.
"Evil creature, you shall trouble us no more!"
2 actions to cast spiritual weapon.
A glowing scimitar composed of pure force appears next to the yellow-feathered harpy and Strikes at it.
Amiri scrambles up the last short bit, quicker than most would have expected. Ignoring the attack readied against her she barrels past the enemy into the tower. Planting her foot against the back wall, she uses it as a springboard to spin around and attempt to shove the hapless guard right on out of the tower.
Climb 20 + Move 10, Athletics to "Shove" guard, 3rd action dependent upon results of shove.
Athletics vs. Enemy's Fort DC:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
That probably won't succeed, so she would reset and try again. I'm sorta guessing since that action has the attack trait, a 2nd attempt would be at a -5 so I'll subtract that.
Athletics - 2nd attack vs. Enemy's Fort DC:1d20 + 8 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 5 = 6
That probably won't succeed, so she would reset and try again. I'm sorta guessing since that action has the attack trait, a 2nd attempt would be at a -5 so I'll subtract that.
This is correct, Pg 305 of the rulebook validates this, although I had to do a bit of searching.
The Pathfinders spread to try to handle the multiple threats at hand, but with Fumbus out of action momentarily it seems a task more difficult than imagined!

The four Seonis move quickly towards the towers, and stand next to Kyra. Staring up at the red guard, she points at him and shouts, "Zauritu zara!"
Casting Daze, DC 19:
Daze (cantrip, Somatic, Verbal): You cloud the mind of a target within 60 feet. It must attempt a Will save. On a success the target is unaffected, on a failure the target is flat-footed, and on a critical failure the target is flat-footed and slowed 1.
Triggering the ready action against Seoni (Attack first adjacent opponent)
As Seoni gets close to the guard, he is startled and begins lashing out, almost as if fearful, against the Rogue! His nervousness gets the better of him as he fails to land a shot.

Shouldn't Fumbus have moved toward the harpy on his turn? I took the liberty of moving him.
Kyra maintains concentration on her spiritual weapon, and it moves to attack the harpy which now threatens her.
Spiritual weapon:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
She whispers under her breath, "I'm sorry my friend but this is going to hurt."
She casts a spell, and her voice is magnified a thousand fold as she shouts, "SNAP OUT OF IT"
Her voice washes over the harpy and Fumbus.
Sound burst sonic damage:3d8 ⇒ (1, 6, 2) = 9Per update 1.5 the damage is 3d8 instead of 2d8. Affected creatures take half damage on a successful DC 19 Fortitude save or no damage on a critical success. Creatures who fail take full damage and are deafened for 1 round, or double damage and deafened for 1 minute on a critical failure. I'm hoping that the harpy song has the auditory trait (playtest rulebook p. 194), which won't work if Fumbus is deaf and can't hear it.

Sorry, Merisiel!
Seoni steps away from the Kyra so that she has a straight line to the harpy. "Enough! Get away from her!"
Seoni jabs a finger at the harpy and shouts, "Tximista, greba!"She adds the flourish she used against the minotaurs, jabbing forward with her staff as well.
Lightning bolt:4d12 ⇒ (12, 10, 11, 10) = 43
Sorry - ancestral surge is an action, not a reaction, so she can’t do that with the Stride action she needed to get into a line with the harpy. The DC stays at 19.
Activating ancestral surge (cost: 1 focus point) to increase the Reflex save DC by 1, from 19 to 20.
Amiri yells in anger as her shove fails and the enemy is getting it's licks in on her allies, "ENOUGH!"
Ripping her massive sword from the sheath, she brings it down towards the threat in front of her, no longer concerned about lethal damage against a mind-controlled subject.
Extra Crit Damage from 2nd attack Slashing:2d12 + 10 ⇒ (10, 3) + 10 = 23
If this guard is still alive, Critical Brutality is in effect. That is when she is Raging, she gains the following
critical specialization effects with melee weapons. Bastard Sword: The target becomes flat-footed for 1 round.
Strike; if Strike hits then activating Dagger Venom (poison) Saving Throw Fortitude DC 19; Maximum Duration 4
rounds. Stage 1 1d4 poison damage and enfeebled 1. If not then Battle Medic DC 20 on herself:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17; Strike
Merisiel, the target is flat footed! So sneak damage applies.
Sneak?:2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12Sneak damage helped! Red is unconscious.
Fort vs Sonic:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 Reflex vs Lightning bolt:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34
Owh... First time i'm seeing those high rolls consecutively.
Amiri and Merisiel pair up to bring the guard, he wails in pain with a look of horror on his face. "AAAAaaaa."
Meanwhile, the magical duo attempt to hinder the Harpy with magic, but the he proves to be resilient against their attempts. However, with the sonic burst is loud enough to drown out the magical effects of the Harpy on Fumbus!
The guards high on the tower suddenly move by compulsion towards the Harpy, climbing down the stairs.
Each take triple stride actions.
The Harpy retaliates by staying in melee combat against Kyra! Kyra manages to avoid most blows fortunately.

You should probably roll a 1d20 instead of a 1d0. However since the harpy didn't spend an action to maintain its captivating song I believe that you are free to act normally this turn.

Seoni glares at the harpy in astonishment as he appears to just bend around her lightning.
So much for the most powerful spell I know!
The tattooed Varisian says "Suaren esfera!" while gesturing in the shape of a sphere. Finally, she calls, "Apaizak, lagun iezadazu!" A ball of fire appears around the harpy.
Fire Damage:3d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 6) = 12
Casting Flaming Sphere with Ancestral Surge, DC 20:
Flaming Sphere ( Somatic, Verbal): You create a sphere of flame in one square within 30 feet that lasts for as long as you spend an action to concentrate on it or until dismissed. Each round that you concentrate to maintain the sphere you may move it to another location within 30 feet. Each creature in the sphere’s square (not including during the sphere’s movement) must attempt a Reflex save. On a success the creature is unaffected, on a failure the creature takes 3d6 damage, and on a critical failure the creature takes 6d6 damage.
And the GM said you were free from the fascinate. "However, with the sonic burst is loud enough to drown out the magical effects of the Harpy on Fumbus!"
Waves of fatigue wash over the barbarian and she looks down at the unconscious hacked up guard in front of her, I hope he isn't dead, I have enough blood on my hands.
Pulling her most expensive healing potion from her pack, she slams it down, focusing intently on the liquid as it trickles down her throat and begins the healing process. She pulls another elixir as an afterthought.
Since the bastard sword is one handed I'm guessing she can hold it with one hand and use an off hand to do stuff. Interact to draw the Moderate Healing Potion (3d8+8), Interact to drink it (using a focus point to double the healing), Free to drop the vial, Interact to draw her Barkskin Potion.

Sorry, I guess this player was still fascinated...
Assuming the vials Fumbus removed earlier remain intact after the sonic attack...
Fumbus, having been trapped within the fog of song and mind, now snaps quickly to attention. His ears bleed. His head pounds. And, upon seeing the harpy, his blood boils!
He throws the two vials of lesser bottled lightning at the harpy.
In addition, deals 1 electricity splash damage, and causes the target to be flat-footed to all creatures until the start of your next turn (splash damage not doubled on crit).
Hearing the sizzle of electricity permeate his feathered foe, Fumbus giggles with glee as he draws his blade! Manipulate/Draw Weapon
Fumbus Fort:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 Well, didn't make much difference, he is deafened.
Merisiel moves to get in on the action quickly while Amiri takes a few moments to recover.
Reflex:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24
Seoni lights up the forest with a bit of arcane fire but the Harpy proves to be a challenging foe as he dodges yet another magical attack! However, Fumbus returns to reality after being deafened and takes the momentary distraction to throw two vials that break emitting and electrical energy upon the creature!
