"Look sharp, people! Here they come! Let's give them a taste of the renowned Pathfinder's hospitality!"

Attack 01: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 1 - 2 = 19 → Damage roll: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Attack 02: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 1 - 2 = 23 → Damage roll: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

5ft step back, full attack on red, cold iron just to be sure, targets should be flat footed because they did not act in order of initiative yet

Both of Wolfgang’s shots hit.

Bolded may act.

Garduk tries to figure out what the creatures are.

Knowledge (Dungeoneering): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Garduk's actions will depend on what, if anything, he knows about them.

Albino Cave Solifugid
N Medium vermin

Just looking at how they are holding on to the wall, they are good climbers as well.

"Hrmmm, albino cave solifugids,"[b] Garduk growls. [b]"I've never seen a live one before." He looks around the cave warily, focusing on the hastily departing dwarves. "I think you're right, Wolfgang. These people aren't leaving because of some overgrown camel spiders. Something's coming. The solifugids are just the vanguard."

Barkot concentrates, using some of his arcane energy to boost his call for aid. Once again, something from answers from the Great Beyond.

Barkot consumes one of his remaining level 2 spell slots to add 2 points to his arcane reservoir (move action), then uses his Summon Monster III spell-like ability.

A single note from a heavenly choir echoes through the Grand Cathedral, fading quickly as the lantern archon, a glowing ball of happy light blue, takes form in the air about halfway between the Pathfinders and the solifugids.

"Hello!" it calls out cheerfully, in everybody's native tongue. "I'm here to help!"

The archon sees the approaching solifugids, and its color changes to a worried green. "Oh, my, those don't belong here! Somebody might get hurt!"

It blasts two beams of blinding bright light at the orange solifugid.

Light Ray, ranged touch attack vs FF: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 171d6 ⇒ 1

Light Ray, ranged touch attack vs FF: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 61d6 ⇒ 3

Lorna’s first beam hits, but the second misses.

[ooc] If someone could bot Chandrabha it would be appreciated. [/b]

I don't think Garduk ever took back his crossbow, so...

Chandrabha loads and fires the crossbow she borrowed from Garduk, aiming for the red solifugid injured by Wolfgang.

Light Crossbow v FF, cold iron bolt, Bless: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 = 211d8 ⇒ 8

Chandrabha hits the red solifugid.

Red charges and pounces on Wolfgang!
Bite: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
claw: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 = 15

Brayne puts himself in between the Wolfgang and the creature, "I'll take this one!" Upon reaching the creature, the half-orc does the unusual act of biting. It's become a habit now for the practitioner of the dark arts.

Move & Attack!

Bite,Bless,PA: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 17B/P/S: 1d4 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 6 = 13 Single natural attack

Brayne barely manages to hit. Crunchy!

Crap! My post got goblined!

Kulga advances to cover the flank, carefully watching the movements of the spider with the orange markings... Study

Kulga moves towards the other two creatures.

Orange climbs around the corner and then runs towards Kulga. When it gets to her, it takes a big bite!
Difficult terrain preventing the charge. :(
Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Blue climbs along the wall and then moves towards Lorna.
How high up is Lorna?

5ft step backa and full attack

Wolfgang puts Red down with his first shot.

He turns and fires the second shot at Orange but misses.

Grunting in pain and annoyance, Kulga sidesteps the bug and slams it against the wall, following up with heavy blows from her waraxe!

Shield Slam (Study, Bless): 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 14 + 2 + 1 = 37 Bull Rushing to knock prone on hit vs. CMD
Magic Cold Iron Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 13

Extra Damage: 1d6 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 = 9

Kulga smashes the bug with her shield and then almost kills it with the follow up blow from her waraxe!

The creature is staggered!

Lorna is 10' up.

In Common, calls out to the archon, "Maybe it would be better to aid my friends. Let them take care of the camel spider."

Garduk looks around for options to get out of the blue solifugid's charging lane and realizes there are few places for him to go that won't interfere with his own line of sight or bring him uncomfortably close to one of the other creatures. Eyes narrowing in annoyance, he steps a five feet closer to Wolfgang just as the crossbowman puts down the red arachnid and Kulga knocks her opponent dizzy.

Garduk had been reaching for a scroll, then decides to save it for a tougher battle. Instead, he reaches into his component pouch and barks out a familiar arcane phrase - "Rasvaa lattia!" - while rubbing a small bit of wax paper smeared with butter between the thumb and index finger of one hand. The ground under the blue solifugid turns slick and oily.

Casting Grease, DC 16 Reflex save to avoid falling; if successful, DC 10 Acrobatics check to move through an affected square at half speed. I have marked the area with a red border on the map.

Lorna bobs up and down. "I can do that. I'm from Heaven, and I'm here to help!"

The archon quickly floats over to the staircase. It hovers over the stairs immediately behind Kulga, and gently bops her on the back of her head.

Lorna casts Aid as a spell-like ability (CL3), granting the target a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saves against fear effects, plus temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + caster level (max +10).

Temporary HP to Kulga: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Blue Reflex : 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Blue suddenly sprawls on the ground, legs pointed in six different directions!

Bolded may act.

Orange 45 damage staggered prone
Blue prone

Brayne looks a little disappointed as he looks down by his feet at the creature with a bolt, but turns his head across the floor. "Most troubling..." He rushes to Kulga's aid and jumps at the creature on the floor!

Move 25ft and attack orange

Bite,Bless,PA: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 19B/P/S: 1d4 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 6 = 13

I assume I should continue to bot Chandrabha until she lets us know she's back?

Chandrabha rides Sha'ar around the pillar. Dropping the borrowed crossbow, she pulls out her net and readies herself to throw it at the blue solifugid if it stands up.

Brayne kills Orange.

Chandrabha takes position and waits.

Blue stands up and quickly becomes entangled by Chandrabha’s net.

It then tries to move towards Chandrabha.
Acro: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

It falls back down!

As you are fighting, you notice other Pathfinder teams returning to the Cathedral. Some are fighting off other cave creatures, while others are fighting off demons!

Bolded may act.

Orange
Blue prone

With blood and bits of insect bits in reaming forth from his jaws, the half-orc grows a little insane and lusts for more. He jumps around the other side of the last standing creature and chomps away! "ARGHHH!"

Move 30ft and attack Blue

Bite,Bless,PA: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 17B/P: 1d4 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 6 = 16

Brayne must really like the taste of these things, he just took a big bite out of another.

Bolded may act.

Blue 16 damage prone

Garduk's blue-green face turns a little greener at Brayne's ... enthusiasm.

I don't think the Old Bastard was ever as eager about eating man-flesh as Brayne is about biting into these spiders.

Garduk fires off a pair of ice-blue darts with his wand, silently hoping to rob his friend of another awful meal.

Magic Missile (CL3): 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 3) + 2 = 6

The lantern archon flies over to Wolfgang, and bumps him on the head, almost knocking off his helmet.

"Hi! I'm from Heaven, and I'm here to help!"

Temp HP from Aid (CL3): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

I’ll bot C&S sometime in the next hour.

Garduk uses a couple of missiles on the remaining creature while Lorna helps Wolfgang.

Bolded may act.

Blue 22 damage prone

Chandrabha draws her urumi and directs Sha'ar to get closer to the spider-thing and attack. Sha'ar moves around the greased area next to Brayne and strikes at the creature.

Sha'ar | bite: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 131d4 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

grab, if attack was successful: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

I had missed the entangled condition on Blue. It didn’t make any difference yet, but I have now noted it.

Sha’ar misses the Blue critter.

Bolded may act.

”let’s get rid of the last of them!”

Attack roll : 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 12 - 2 + 1 = 23 Damage roll: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

as usual

Kulga rushes past her squashed foe and seeks to finish off the last of the bugs.

Waraxe (Bless, Flank, PA, Prone, Entangled): 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 - 2 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 13 + 1 + 2 - 2 + 4 + 2 = 36
Magic Cold Iron Slashing: 1d10 + 7 + 2 + 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 + (2, 5) + 4 = 23

Wolfgang’s shots both hit in spite of the target being prone!

Kulga finishes it off with her waraxe.

One Success

Take a round to regroup and we will try to get through one more battle!

Great!

Garduk takes a step closer to the center of the alcove his group is in, and pulls a long scroll out of his haversack.

He unrolls the scroll and scans it quickly to make sure he has the correct pronunciation for the unfamiliar words to complete the spell, nodding to himself when he is confident he won't make any mistakes. He reads it aloud, his voice echoing in the enormous chamber.

Garduk casts Levitate on himself from the scroll (CL3, duration 3 minutes); it's a move action to actually levitate, though, so he's not able to use it until next round.

The lantern archon swoops across the chamber to hover next to Brayne.

"Hi! I'm from Heaven, and I'm here to ..." The chipper voice of the bobbing sphere of turquoise light trails off. "I'm here to..."

The archon inches closer, and a tendril of illumination stretches out from the center of the sphere, and brushes part of a solifugid's leg from Brayne's chin.

Temp HP from Aid (CL3): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

The archon tries once more to finish its thought. "I'm here to help!" It sounds slightly less cheerful than it had.

"Much thanks, err.. whatever you are, heavenly being!" Brayne responds to the Archon, having actually seen one for the very first time. "Kulga, you seem injured!"

Tapping Kulga with my wand!

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"Be prepared..." Wolfgang says as he studies the surroundings...

Perception check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

Kulga gives her weapons a quick clean and stands ready to battle.

The walls, floor, and ceiling begin to tear apart, revealing
countless miniature scenes from past ages. The entire sky
citadel groans as though Jormurdun were slowly dying,
and more visible ripples—now seeming to pulse with an
impossibly slow heartbeat—wash through the halls.

It is just as Wolfgang says this that one of those goat demons comes walking up the stairs followed by a young woman with bat-like wings. You probably would have noticed them sooner if not for the whole place wobbling so much because of the time bubble.

They are talking together as the goat demon nibbles on the end of their halberd. The young woman appears to be unarmed.

Kn: Planes for either, but you’ve recently seen enough of the halberd wielding goat demons that you probably don’t care about them.

Full attack against the bat lady, cold iron, she should be flat footed

Side note: I REALLY hope the bat lady is not what I think she is... XD

Kulga bounds towards the goat demon, axe blurring in a wicked arc as she tries to catch it off guard.

Waraxe (Charge, Bless, PA): 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 2 + 1 - 2 = 18 Studying on a hit
Magic Cold Iron Slashing: 1d10 + 7 + 4 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 4 + 2 + (5, 6) = 29

“Ouch!” Bat Girl is hit by both of Wolfgang’s bolts and seems quite displeased.

The goat demon barely gives a grunt as Kulga’s axe cuts into it.

Bolded may act.

Brayne hustles to get in on the action, making as many steps as he can to get to Kulga within a short amount of time.

Double Move!

Brayne hustles over to Kulga.

Goat demon has someone right there to fight, so it does with blade and horn. Well, at least it tries to...
masterwork halberd: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

gore: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

“That was very rude, shooting me like that!” Bat Girl shouts at Wolfgang and stomps her foot. She looks petulant but cute.

Then Bat Girl spreads her wings and flys over behind a pillar.

25’ up, or 15’ above the area she is at.

Peeking around the corner, she says to Chandrabha “I would be ever so grateful if you would go over and prevent that rude man from shooting me again.” She points in the direction of Wolfgang.

By the way, Bat Girl is size small.

Garduk takes a step forward, then levitates high enough that he can see Bat Girl (either 10' or 15' up, correct?).

Pointing his wand of magic missile at her, his scarred face twists into a grimace, and he snarls,

"rut SoH jawbe' joy'qang 'e' vIpIH jubbe' wItI'nISmo'."

To the archon, he adds, ”Please aid Chandrabha as well.”

Almost forgot!

Knowledge (planes) - Bat Girl: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

The lantern archon turns a furious scarlet listening to Goat Head and Bat Girl bantering. It hesitates for a moment at Garduk's command, then mutters something about "Fine but I can blast demons too," as it flies over to Chandrabha.

The lantern archon bounces on the nagaji warrior's head and says, as fast as it possibly can, "Hi-I'm-from-Heaven-and-I'm-here-to-help!"

Temp HP from Aid (CL3): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Garduk knows it is a Young succubus, a CE Small outsider (chaotic, demon, evil, extraplanar). Normally such a creature would take the shape of adult women.

This one also seems rather talkative and somewhat immature. That could be a trick, they are known to be manipulators. She probably out ranks the goat demon.

——

With a pouty expression, the girl replies to Garduk.
SR check: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
She looks very surprised and even more pouty when the missile actually hits her!

@Chandrabha This effect happens before the Aid.

Will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

First post after returning starts with PvP. Nice!

- Mmmm... Wolfgang! Don't you sssee, how cute is ssshe? We can redeem her, for sssure! Sstop it now!

With this words, Chandrabha moves to him, making an expressive click of the whip on the stone floor...

Acrobatics (Grease): 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (1) - 3 = -2

...but then ridiculous slips in a puddle of grease left by the wizard. Cursing loudly in tien, she immediately gets up.
(move and move; her goddess protects her, I think)

- Don't you dare ssshoot her anyway! I'm coming!

However, all this does not prevent Chandrabha to command the snake to attack another demon.
