The avoral hits the half-elf with the first three of his attacks, but not the final one.
The tiger keeps hold of the dwarf, its fangs dealing grievous wounds. It misses with the first claw, and but its second lands in a rather sensitive area. Amazingly the dwarf still stands!
The folks in the crowds flee at the outbreak of combat! You do here splashing, and a "Help! Help!" coming from the water by the pier.
Orange and teal swing at the tiger! One actually manages to hit!
Purple is in dire straits. He decides his best choice is to try and escape! He doesn't budge an inch.
Both dwarves manage to throw the sparklies from their eyes.

Obsidian concentrates his senses and to detect the creatures touching the ground.
He then glides over slightly, almost underneath the dwarves and sends a stone spike stretching 25 ft into the air at the close one, next to his wall (orange).
Element earth; Type utility (Su); Level 3; Burn 0
You can take a move action to gain tremorsense 30 feet for 1 round on any earth or stone surface that you touch. You can accept 1 point of burn to increase the duration to 1 round per kineticist level you possess. While benefiting from this tremorsense, your earth blasts and composite blasts that include earth components don’t suffer a miss chance from concealment or total concealment against creatures you detect with your tremorsense.
Element earth, water, wood; Type form infusion; Level 3; Burn 2
Associated Blasts earth, ice, metal
Saving Throw none
You extend a long, sharp spike of elemental matter along a line, impaling multiple foes. Make a single attack roll against each creature or object in a 30-foot line, starting with the closest target. If the result is a critical threat, roll to confirm against only the first target you hit. Calculate damage against each target you hit, starting from the closest. If your attack hits a target but fails to deal physical damage to that target, the spike fails to penetrate and the infused blast doesn’t continue. A blast with the impale infusion can penetrate solid barriers, but it must deal enough damage to destroy the barrier in order to continue through. Infused earth and metal blasts always deal piercing damage.
Element earth, water, wood; Type substance infusion; Level 2; Burn 2
Associated Blasts blizzard, cold, earth, ice, magma, metal, mud, sandstorm
Saving Throw Reflex negates
Your kinetic blast surrounds your foes in elemental matter. Whenever a blast with this infusion deals damage to a foe, that foe becomes entangled for 1 minute. The foe can remove this condition as a standard action with a successful Escape Artist or Strength check (with the same DC as for saves against your kinetic blast) or by dealing an amount of damage to the entangling matter equal to double your kineticist level (the matter has hardness 0). If the foe was already entangled by this infusion and fails its save against a second instance of this infusion, the increased amount of elemental matter fuses to the ground, causing the foe to be rooted in place as though anchored to an immobile object.

A huge spike comes up through the ground, and inserts itself in very unfriendly way into orange! Orange is still moving, but is not very happy!
Both unentangled dwarves take a swing at Candi
Orange hits, but teal misses.
The armored half-elf is hit, but it is not as sure of a thing as Candi would have expected. He swears in elvish, obviously planning something.
|
"It sounds like he needs a new goddess." Ayako observes, floating closer over the battle. She concentrates, focused on the Calistrian foe.
DC21 Fort halves and negates stunning

|
The half-elf looks back, and says, in elvish, "The feeling is mutual."
The half-elf starts to cast a spell, when Sister Ayako yells at him.
Though the caster looks to shrug off the spell, there is enough distraction so the spell casting is still disrupted.

Slip continues to inspire the team, clicks the heels of his redwings of speed together, and swings his falcata four times at the orange dwarf.
Y'all act like you never seen a half-elf person before
Jaws all on the floor like Pam like Tommy just burst in the door
And started whoopin' dwarf booty worse than before
Prerequisites: Bardic performance class feature, Perform (oratory or sing) 10 ranks.
Benefit: Whenever you are using bardic performance to create a spell-like or supernatural effect, allies within 30 feet of you deal an extra 1d6 points of sonic damage with successful weapon attacks. This damage stacks with other energy damage a weapon might deal. Projectile weapons bestow this extra damage on their ammunition, but the extra damage is dealt only if the projectile hits a target within 30 feet of you.

The avoral focusses on he Half-Elf again:

The tiger holds up the grapple:

Elric himself moves down to the civilain fallen into the water (move action) and will use dimensional step (standard action) (20ft*2) to teleport him onto the evacuation ship.
Donna finally squirms free of the black tentacles.
Donna hisses in relief and moves out of the spell's area of effect.

What about these Aspis losers? Do we think they're in league with the demons or just fleeing because they're cowardly s****?
Yeah, let's go find the missing Venture Captain, or least what bits of his body might remain.
Candi uses four charges off of her wand of infernal healing to bring her and Donna up to full HP.
Candi slips into her new gear and exchanges the potion of enlarge person (CL1) in her wrist sheath for one of the CL5 potions.
|
|
As you are making your way to the Egelsee district, you see a familar Garundu man in a leather duster making his way to you.
“Finally, I have found you. Venture-Captain Jorsal tasked me with finding some experienced agents, and I reckon that you all fit the bill. 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!”
|
|
"Check it out. This cloak of resistance +3 fits me perfectly. It's even in my color-wheel." Slim grins.
"Oh, and this amulet of natural armor +3!" The paladin-bard slips it around his neck. "Just like Flavor Flav's!"
The half-elf looks around the team, "If it's cool with y'all, I'll hang onto a potion of cure serious wounds, and a potion of enlarge person."
He jabs his wand of cure light wounds into his left glute and activates it. He loads it back into his spring-loaded wrist sheath, and sets off with his companions, destination: Thurl's Lodge.
|
|
The lawman of Abadar sees you off, as he is obviously being called to go fight elsewhere.
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, 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 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.
You are easily able to enter through the front door, without mishap.
A clock rests against the western wall of this reception area. A desk covers the northeastern section of the room, behind which sits an empty chair. Doors exit to the east and north.
[ooc]Which way would you like to go. Also, is Obsidian remaining large?
|
|
Before entering the lodge, Slim casts message on himself and his companions. Inside, he checks out the door to the north, the one in front of him.
"Somebody check out the door in the eastern wall."
Donna detaches from Candi and slithers over to the eastern door, where she looks, listens, and sniffs.
|
|
As the group heads for a normal sized building, Obsidian appears to stuff off the gathering of rocks. Fist-sized chunks of rock fall to the ground and make a pretty decent mess in a line as Obsidian continues to walk during this process. By the time that the group reaches the front door, he is the size he was when you originally met him.
Obsidian turns to the door to the east and opens it.
|
|
Nothing untoward is noticed at either door.
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 books on the history of Mendev and the Worldwound.
The Demon horde has so far failed to get a beachhead into the city, being driven back over and over. They rally for one more attempt in their greatest numbers so far...!
Candi’s pun causes Donna to shake her head and give a groan-like hiss.
In response to Candi’s question, Donna hisses back that she suspects demonic trickery of some sort and thinks the party should remain here.
Donna climbs up on one of the chairs to see if she can catch any residual scent there or in the room in general.

A great table fills the center of the chamber, surrounded by high-backed leather chairs. Bookshelves fill the walls, each with an eclectic assortment of tomes and papers, some bound in flesh and other unspeakable substances. Doors exit to the north, south and west, and in the southeast corner, a powerful vrock stands forever posed as if ready to attack—this demon did not survive its battle with the taxidermist
|
|
Slim joins the rest of the team in the adjacent room, taking some time to detect magic and detect evil in each room cleared. He pulls up behind Obsidean, preparing to scan the next chamber, the one with the stuffed vrock, in similar fashion.
The paladin-bard peers around the kineticist. "See anything, Obsidean? Want me to check it out?"
Donna climbs up on the table, looking and sniffing about.
|
|
There is nothing of real note here, as the Vrock does not animate. Not at all.
Obsidean does not notice anything untoward about the northern door. So, opens it. Two beds lie opposite one another in this long, narrow chamber. An elaborate portrait of Iomedae hangs from the western wall. A single door exits to the south.
