Of the Sibilant Twins, you know nothing.

As our heroes wait on the plain for the hordes of demons that they will shortly slay, Candi pulls out some scrolls and starts reading them.

So Conjuration Master E, you think it's time for that stoneskin?
And then more generally to the rest of the group.
So, the plan is "we see the big demon, Obs and I charge and hit it with sharp objects while the rest of you dump violence on it and good things on us as necessary"?

The team moves out to attack the Warlord Gal-Horvasch. As you approach, you see the demon smash its way through a company of crusader cavalry... it notices you approaching and calls out

Just loud enough for the demon to hear.
It’s so cute! Like a big, cranky hamster.
Candi casts monstrous physique ii on herself, transforming into a tikbalang and thus becoming large.
Candi rages, applying resist energy (fire) and haste to herself and casting long arm on herself giving her a total reach of 15 ft.
She activates arcane strike.

Obsidian considers the threat this demon poses. It is worth it, he thinks to himself. He then, in a loud display pulls metal from the plane of earth, forming it into a giant spear, and launches the spear at the demon. Like much earlier, Obsidian disappears as the spear is launched as if he were sucked into the spear. Upon hitting (or not) the demon, he appears right next to it.

Your kinetic blast causes your foes to become mildly magnetic. Whenever an infused blast deals damage to a foe, attacks made with metal weapons (including metal kinetic blasts) against that foe receive a +4 bonus until the end of your next turn, and the foe takes a –4 penalty on Reflex saving throws to avoid metallic objects.
Element universal; Type utility (Sp); Level 6; Burn 0
You can use this wild talent as part of activating a kinetic blast other than telekinetic blast. You transform yourself into your element or energy and send yourself along with your kinetic blast. You appear at the end of the blast’s path, adjacent to the blast’s target (or final target, for form infusions like chain) or at the center of the burst or spread for form infusions like explosion. This ability doesn’t work with form infusions that involve melee attacks (such as kinetic blade) or that use a cone shape (such as spray).

"Now it is time to have some... fun." Elric says while thinking what the hell he is fighting now.
Then he casts Summon Monster 8 to summon
"Well this is less than I expected... But FETCH"
The Tyrannosaurs will smite the enemy and both will try to take a bite out of him.

You can confirm what Slim told you, but also you know that their bites leave smoking wounds, (negative levels) which continue to "bleed" until the target's life is restored. It's tail can stun it targets, and it has powerful magics at its disposal. It's very aura is fearsome.
In your head, Elric, you hear, "Your little pets do not concern me. They can not hold me for long."
Obsidean lands a devastating strike on the demon, but it does not go down. He then feel the tremendous presence of this huge demon, but he does not falter.
Though the first dino is not affected by the aura of fear, but misses its bite anyway. The second is shaken by the foul aura of the demon.

The demon, currently unfettered, turns to Obsidean, grinning.
It quickly casts a spell, targetting Obsidean.
A black ray of negative energy reaches out from the monster’s finger, and touches Obsidean. The kineticist feels his life energy being suppressed!
Gal-Horvasch chuckles in evil glee.
He then turns his natural weapons on Obsidean. He first bites down on the stony trifling. As he pulls away, the bite wound is bleeding wisps of green smoke rather than blood... the very feel of this sickens Obsidean.
He then lashes out with both claws. The claws are just claws, but they hurt nonetheless when the hit.
It then swings with its mighty tail!
Obsidean sees stars, and is stunned by the force of the immense club like tail!

Slim calls on his goddess, "Shelyn, your servant's gonna need your help to smite this foe!"
Then the paladin-bard casts mirror image, and five illusory double swirl around him. "On my way, in a few seconds, bringing some good hope with me, friends."
The half-elf takes a step forward and improvises a beat poet's limerick to inspire his friends and annoy Warlord Gal-Horvasch.
When you see me coming
Flying down the road
You know I ain't afraid to lay it down
Yeah, got me some leather
Leather is my skin
Black and chrome flashing
Through the town
Some call the warlord
Cause I'm a g*%$&&n fast machine
Young and hungry
Not too proud and mean
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.

Aura moderate abjuration CL 7th
Slot armor quality; Price +1 bonus; Weight —
Description
This armor protects its wearer from harmful negative and positive energy, including channeled energy. The armor absorbs the first 10 points of positive or negative energy damage per attack that the wearer would normally take. The wearer has a 25% chance to ignore negative levels from any attack. Deathless armor does not block healing of any kind and does not protect against positive or negative energy effects that do not deal damage or bestow negative levels. The deathless ability can be applied to armor of any sort, but not shields.
Obsidian looks at the demon with a bemused expression, "I thought you would have been more of a threat."

After the final bite of the T-Rexes, the mighty warlord looks puzzled, and falls to the ground.
As the team finishes off the mighty warlord, they hear the screams of an entire regiment being destroyed by a mighty demon. In the distance, Teremthal, the Ender of Worlds (Epic Target) can be seen. Overseer of the assault on Nerosyan, this immense demon is responsible for immeasurable death and destruction throughout the past Mendevian crusades. Seeking to outdo his demonic rivals, Teremthal leads his army in the final assault on the crusader capital. Only the most experienced and powerful of Pathfinders can hope to stand against his might.
|
|
The name "Sibilant Twins" does not ring a bell. Perhaps if you saw them, you might know more.
Teremthal is a name you haven't heard. But, you have caught a glimpse of him, and he looks to be a Balor... large outsider (chaotic, evil, demon, extraplanar). These powerful demons are lords in the Abyss.
|
|
Obsidian looks disgustingly at his team. "I was beginning to think that the team they stuck me with was actually close to my power level and dedication. It would seem that I was wrong. You are puny, fleshy mortals that run scared when something truly formidable comes along. Are you so selfish that you would care only for your own lives? Are you admitting that you are truly just windbag charlatans? Why would the leaders make me babysit the likes of you in this dire situation? You do not deserve to be among the ranks of the Seekers." And with that, Obsidian storms off in search of the Venture Captain.

"Well. That was dramatic." A shiver runs through her form once more, but this one is followed by a much more marked change. Golden fur grows in as Ayako's face elongates, teeth sharpening, pupils sliding to narrow slits. A white tipped tail of matching fur parts the folds of her dress. Ears standing straight up atop her head, the kitsune looks around at the remaining Pathfinders. "I'll stake the title of Golden Witch on us defeating Teremthal. What say you?"
|
|
"Here, my taciturn obsidian brother from another mother," Slim hands the kineticist a hanky. "Dry your flinty tears, and blow your stony nose. You look positively drained." He chuckles at his own jest.
The paladin-bard looks to the rest of the team, "Our friend here would prefer to go after a second strategic target, the balor, rather than take on our prime target, the Sibilant Twins."
He shrugs, "I suggest we humor him. No one wants to be around a kineticist, when he has an emotional meltdown, am I right? After all, a balor need killin', too."
The half-elf smiles, "And if we still live after we've dealt with the balor, maybe we'll have time to go after our prime target. No hurry, right?"
|
|
Candi is changing armor with the help of Sister Ayako as the discussion about future targets unfolds. Partway through, Ayako changes form.
Hey, watch it! That tail tickles!
Standing there, more or less starkers, Candi points toward Teremthal.
So, we going after the balor, right? Good, at least he'll be able to see my shapely gams before he dies. We owe him that much.
Finally back in her familiar, and more revealing breastplate, Candi looks much happier and ready to go.
|
|
Suddenly, it seemed that the team must have been spotted. A hush comes over the battlefield, as the demon lord, Teremthel, has disappeared.
A cloud of brimstone appears even with and behind Elric, as the General has arrived! In a booming voice, that resonates both in your ears and in your head.

First he looks at Candi... or rather... her greatsword. An unseen force rips The Stinger from her hands, and drops it at his feet. "Such a cute weapon. Maybe I will use it later." she hears in her head.
He slashes with his blade at Elric, his whip at Ayako.
Elric is hit four times, his ablative barrier taking some of the brunt of the attack. He does not look so well.
Ayako fairs a little better. She is hit by the whip, entangled by it, pulled to the beast, dropped (she is flying so doesn't fall), hit again, and then missed. She also does not look so healthy.

"Rude." Ayako snorts through gritted fangs. "The only thing you'll find us trembling with is antici-" With a wave of her hand, the battlefield re-configures. Pathfinders blink out of sight only to reappear in prime combat positions.
Targets you and up to 1 willing creature/2 caster levels, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance no
DESCRIPTION
You whisk yourself and willing allies out of a tight jam, or instantly transfer yourselves to another location to achieve greater strategic positioning. You can move any allies within range to any other space of your choosing within range. Those spaces need not be in line of sight or line of effect from your original position, but must be open locations on surfaces able to support the creatures teleported. Except as noted above, this spell otherwise functions as dimension door.

"Shelyn, let's smite this evil menace!" He punctuates his call to his goddess with a click of his boots of speed. The half-elf casts good hope on himself and his allies.
Inspired by Sister Ayako, the paladin-bard begins a counterpoint lament, a dirge of doom, filling the balor with a sense of growing dread in his enemies, causing him to become shaken.
On the winds of Sister Ayako's bard's escape, Slim is teleported to higher ground atop a large stone next to the balor.
|
|
Obsidian , with the help of Slim, manages to get front row seats. As he usually does, he yells as he swings his empty hands at the demon. But, moments after he starts, a large maul forms in his hands.

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.

Candi points at Teremthal with the sword that he failed to take from her.
Hey look! This hamster stands on two legs!
Candi then delays until after Sister Ayako to take advantage of the various buffs being provided.
Candi rages applying resist energy (fire) and haste and casting false life on herself.
Activate arcane strike
Candi takes a five foot step towards the bipedal hamster.
Candi attacks with power attack.
Donna takes advantage of bard’s escape and appears at a point about 30 feet from the balor.

Only one of the dinosaurs manages to hit...and it does not keep hold.
Slim casts a spell, but is within reach of the demon's blade. This effectively counters the spell.
Candi hits twice with her sword, once very well. Her other attacks all fail.
Candi takes STR damage
Then, the demon goes.
Having noticed how nicely the longsword cut into the unarmored, but dangerous Candi. His first two cuts hit deeply, but the third strikes her neck cleanly, shearing it clean off. Candi goes down with a thud.
He then swings at Obsidean.
He then uses a quickened telekinesis to grab Slim's falcata. Slim is disarmed, and Teremthel 5' flies over Slim.

As the Teremtel falls after Obsidian's metal onslaught, your minds are assaulted with the shrieks and wails of hundreds of history's most vile and murderous souls. You watch as the Abyssal forces that formed the balor's body begin to rip apart before you are blinded and deafened by a wave of unholy fire.
When the fire subsides, there is a charred crater extending for dozens of yards in every direction and...
