Dax slides to the west, swiftly, the better to fire another torrent of cold energy at the enemy! "You are not welcome here! Begone, before I become displeased!"
Cold:6d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 6, 2, 5, 3, 3) + 8 = 29DC 17 reflex half. Line should get yellow/orange
Casting Burning Arc and converting it to acid damage, Empowering the spell with my Acrimony Veil. Blue is the primary target, then Green, then Red. As a move action I am going to run away (bravely) and as a swift action activate my Quick Runner's Shirt to get another move action, which will allow me to (once again bravely) cower behind the bar.
Seeing that she is suddenly surrounded, Alexandra casts a spell. Her voice cracks under the weight of her fear.
Dax's torrent of icy chill finishes off the wounded Goat-Demon, but despite the force of Dax's or Alexandra's magics, they seem equally able to withstand arctic cold as Alexandra's acid.
The spiteful goats surround El Garrapata, halberds swinging and horns flashing, but one of them bounds away from the boisterous bruiser, hoping to catch the fleeing wizard! Outside, the remaining demon tries to batter Kargen while he's still caught unawares.
Alexandra escapees unscathed, but Kargen and El Garrapata both take a bit of a beating as the demons hack at them with glee.
Kargen's in front of a window; Dax is in front of the door.

Styfis's arrows continue to strike home, leaving the outdoorsy goat-demon in feathered agony!

Kargen darts away, taking a heavy blow as he withdraws, but meting out retribution almost immediately as the demon's last act of spite peters out into a vague gurgling noise.
I am going to use a scroll of silent image to make it look like I created a wall of stone around me. Will Save DC 16 if he interacts with it.
Defensively Cast:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17
As the goat creature leers at her from atop the bar, Alexandra yells out in fear, fumbles around her pockets for a scroll, then a wall of stone pops out of the ground to protect her. Or does it?
Delaying Dax since there's no botting spoiler, and there isn't an obivous 'I hit the one in front of me' decision to make.
Alexandra thinks boxy thoughts while El Garrapata charges to the rescue! His meaty fist cracks against the curling horns of the goat-demon, though the full force of his blow is sapped by its fiendish resilience.
In great bounding hops, the goats continue their assault! Styfis is able to get out of the way of the demon's charge, but as El Garrapata is hard-pressed as the demons rain down blows from above him!
Then to make matters worse, with an ominous **click** gas shoots out of a well concealed trap, engulfing Alexandra, El Garrapata, and the demons in a short lived mist!

Styfis's arrows continue to punch through the demons' hide, leaving the demon clutching at the fletchings as it glares at him with hateful eyes.

Kargen winces at the strike. Seeing Styfus' success, he draws cold iron arrows and then aims at the nearest demon, intent on destroying it too. "Hang on, Alexandra!"
The second blast goes wide and splashes mostly ineffectually against a nearby building. Green if he doesn't drop. If he drops, then I instead move to just inside the door and hit Blue.
In a hail of arrows and crushing water, the remaining demons are swiftly banished!
Unfortunately El Garrapata and Alexandra still suffer from the second trap that you've found so far!

Kargen goes over to the two demons killed by his arrows and performs his rites. It seems that even demons deserve a measure of grace in death. As he eats the dried bread to symbolize taking on their pain, you see his wounds begin to heal.
With the demons gone and the danger passed, the stone wall winks out of existence. Her breathing eventually returns to normal and she sheepishly straightens up.
By the Bronze, does he even notice all of his injuries? He really stuck his neck out to pull that goat away from me.
Alex pulls out a wand and scrambles over the spilled drinks and broken cups. Her head cocks to the right as she stares at El Garrapata for a moment. After coming to grips with the state of him, she begins to use the wand to heal the many wounds he picked up in the last few minutes.
"So...thanks Big Blue. I was in some real trouble back there. You could have just pulled back and dealt with the 2 that were already on you but you jumped in and helped me out and that was pretty awesome."
She sticks her head out from behind El Garrapata's huge torso.

"All clear!" Kargen yells out and waves to the people huddled outside. He nods to Alexandra in thanks for the healing. He pulls out his own wand for more healing and to help anyone else.
I'd like to have a look around to see if there are any supplies in this safe house we could immediately use. Then I'd like to stay in this district to see if there is anything else we can do here.
"I'm glad I'm one of those people worth bleeding for. Here, I have something else."
Alexandra pulls out another wand and starts undoing the gassy damage. First to El Garrapata, then herself, then back to Big Blue.
Wand of Lesser Restoration:1d4 ⇒ 4 Wand of Lesser Restoration:1d4 ⇒ 4 Wand of Lesser Restoration:1d4 ⇒ 1
"That's much better. That gas was making my brain feel like a bag of mashed apples. I can't fix the stab wound on your back though, my healing wand is basically dry."
You make your way back to the Egelsee district, where you are quickly found by a dazed-looking man in the livery of the Starrise Spire.
“Thank the gods I have found you! Venture-Captain Jorsal tasked me with finding some experienced agents, and it appears I am blessed with you. Jorsal is trying to mobilize as many Pathfinders as he can, and needs the assistance of Venture-Captain Thurl. I’ll direct you to his lodge, but please find him. Or at the very least, find out where he might be!”
HP 93/93; AC 20, T13, FF16; CMD 26 (32 vs grapple); F+9, R+9, W+4; Init +2, Perc +4 Human(?) Brawler 10
"THURL is the dwarf CAPTAIN, right? WONDER WHERE HE'S GOTTEN OFF TO?" Garrapata nods to the PFS man and heads off to the Lodge indicated. In the wrong direction. Once he's stopped, he nods and grins and follows the others.
You get directions and are on your way. Thurl’s Lodge is a modest structure that lies in the Egelsee district of Nerosyan. Publicly touted as a contract site for cut-rate mercenaries, you understand that the building rarely sees visitors from the crusader host. A single front door allows for access to the structure, and no other doors or windows seem to exist. The building is surrounded on both sides by other buildings — a blacksmith and a local brewery—preventing any other means of entry or view into the lodge.
The front door is unlocked and leads into what looks like a reception area. A clock rests against the western wall, and a desk covers the northeastern section of the room. Doors exit to the east and north.
Dominating the eastern edge of this room is a long bench. Two sturdy chairs stand beside a wooden table near the center of the room; a thin layer of dust covers them. A bookshelf lies on the northern edge, prominently displaying a number of books on the history of Mendev and the Worldwound. Another door leads to the north.
Before entering the next room, Alexandra pulls out a wand and cast Shield on herself. She whispers to everyone a warning as her nerves start to creep up on her.
"If Thurl was here he would hear us or we would hear him. Something is wrong here. Or maybe he is just lost in his work."
She then carefully scoots around the wall to get a better look at the book Thurl is interested in or at least puts on his bookshelf.

"Did you see all the dust? No one's been here in a while, unless Thurl purposely is trying to hide his tracks." The thought makes the hunter's head turn sideways and he kneels and examines the dust.
Dax decides that the subtle method is not the correct one. The gnome shouts, or at least vocalizes loudly with inflection, "Venture Captain Thurl, or whomever has taken him, show yourself! Should I have to find you, I will be cross."
