Yanda rather disgustingly pukes a swarm of wasps all over the shrine - one doubts that the Awakener is amused!

Although the wasps sting the priest ferociously, he doesn't appear to be either poisoned or distracted by it all.
Yanda, please note that in future rounds if you don't use a standard action to control the swarm's movement it will continue to circle the room at 80' movement per round, as per the rule below.
Vomit Swarm wrote:
You can move the swarm or change the swarm’s direction by spending a standard action to concentrate on the swarm, otherwise it continues moving in its current direction.
Tofang recognizes that the priest is a serpentfolk (as were the two jailers and the prisoner back in the previous room). Serpentfolk are ordinarily NE medium monstrous humanoids. Tofang, you can ask two questions from the list but note that they will only pertain to his racial abilities, not to any class levels he may have. Yanda can also ask two questions.
Tofang also recognizes that the snake is an advanced constrictor snake. With that result I'll just tell you: the only significant thing to know is that it can grab and constrict you. You (anyone) can also learn some additional (separate) information about it with a Knowledge (Planes) check (i.e. it has a template).But it is all moot as Tofang blasts the snakes to smithereens!
Tofang places a perfectly aimed bullet right between the snake's eyes, slaying it before it ever had a chance to act.
Though Stinky is literally scraping the floor with eagerness to get into battle, the priest attempts to retaliate first. Perhaps he too loved his pet...
Or perhaps not, because although it was Tofang who dealt the deadly blow, he first turns his attention to the mistress of the wasps who are harassing him. He steps 5' out of the swarm and utters an incantation while gesturing at Yanda.

Thanks GM, does the serpent boss have resistances or immunities? Also I am not sure if it really is my turn as I am bolded. In case it is my turn see action below:
Action for now or when it is my turn:
Tofang moves forward on his riding dog and shoots the leader of the cult with a frost alchemical ordnance with his pistol.
Alch ordnance 6/9 remaining. Frost bomb applied: Creatures that take a direct hit from a frost bomb are staggered on their next turn unless they succeed on a Fortitude save DC 18.
Not the PCs turn yet - more to come from Team Evil - will have to wait until this afternoon or evening. He does have resistance and immunities but I'm not home right now so I'll post later to be sure I get it right. Also, unfortunately, Yanda is now paralyzed.

After Sartoss completes his spell, poor Yanda freezes in place, utterly unmoving!
Then the priest of the Awakener wiggles about a bit oddly and suddenly there are two of them where there was previously only one! These two Sartosses occupy the same square and appear to move and act identically with one another.
GM screen:
Note to self: Hold Person expires before Sartoss' turn on round 5. Copycat 1/7 used.
Tofang recalls that serpentfolk are immune to mind-affecting effects, paralysis, and poison, and are also resistant to spells. Yanda, you also had two questions from your knowledge roll which you can still ask (and convey to the rest of the party) since that was before you were paralyzed.
As if the situation were not bad enough already, something else now appears, a snake-like monstrosity with a humanoid head! Map updated with Large green token.
Knowledge (Dungeoneering) DC 18:
This is a Dark Naga, typically a LE Large aberration. Dark nagas covet luxury, wealth, and power over others. With bodies covered by shimmering, eel-like black scales, dark nagas slither deftly through forsaken lands and abandoned ruins, scouring such places for treasures and weaker creatures they might force into service. A typical dark naga measures approximately 12 feet long and weighs upward of 300 pounds. For every 5 by which you beat the DC, one question from the list.
Whatever it is, it slithers out of the pit directly towards the paralyzed Yanda and attempts to drag her into the pit!
Drag maneuver:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
In her paralyzed condition Yanda lacks her usual quick defenses and the creature easily drags her ten feet and drops her into the pit. She disappears from view but the rest of the party can audibly hear the sound of a thud! The creature remains at the surface level, at the edge of the pit. (i.e. it is viewable, and attackable, by the pathfinders)
Yanda:
Since you are paralyzed and unable to speak, I'm going to spoiler what's happening to you, at least for now. Unfortunately, none of what is happening to you is good.
First, as already noted, you are paralyzed - you can make another Will save each round on your turn, as a full round action (which you may not have - see below), to become unparalyzed.
Second, you've just fallen 10' and are prone.Falling dmg:1d6 ⇒ 2
Third, you find that the bottom of the pit looks a lot like this. Knowledge Nature DC 15 to know more about them, though you can probably guess just by looking at the clip. The snakes fill the entire pit and immediately crawl all over Yanda, biting her repeatedly!
dmg:1d6 ⇒ 2 Yanda Fort vs distraction:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13+2 vs. poisons, +1 vs. water/cold/earth/acid, +1 vs EX abilities of reptilian humanoid Yanda Fort vs poison:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22+2 vs. poisons, +1 vs. water/cold/earth/acid, +1 vs EX abilities of reptilian humanoid
Although Yanda is momentarily nauseated by the bites, she fortunately manages to resist their poisonous venom! Note that being nauseated will prevent you from attempting a Will save vs the paralysis this round (since it requires a full-round action).
So, in sum, Yanda takes 4 points of dmg; and is paralyzed (unknown duration), prone, and nauseated (1 round), at the bottom of a ten foot pit surrounded by snakes. Sorry! Good luck!
Anyone who moves adjacent to the pit (any side) may open:
You see that the pit is 10' deep and filled with innumerable snakes! (Knowledge Nature DC 15 to know more about them)
Anyone who moves adjacent to the pit on the East side (i.e. the side by where Yanda is) may open:
You see that the pit is 10' deep and filled with innumerable snakes, many of which are biting Yanda. She lies prone and motionless at the bottom of the pit. (Knowledge Nature DC 15 to know more about the snakes)

Tofang recognizes that the new creature is a Dark Naga. He takes aim and fires at it... but is surprised to see that it is not quite where it appears to be!
Tofang 50% miss chance, high is good for Tofang:1d100 ⇒ 90
... luckily, he still manages to hit the creature!
GM screen:
Sanaz Fort vs staggered DC 18:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
The Naga reels from the blow, taking full damage and also staggered by it.
Knowledge (Arcana) DC 23:
The Dark Naga appears to be under the effect of Displacement.
earlier... Yanda recalls that serpentfolk have no particular weaknesses or vulnerabilities. Its Fort save is +11.
I'm thinking Yanda is going to have a new phobia at the end of this mission! That is if she survives it.
to those wo look in the pit:
In advance, anyone who would like to do an area affect damage attack on Yanda and those snakes most heartily and definitely have my permission to damage Yanda.
"Yanda!" Uhvat calls out. The oread hesitates, unsure whether to rush to her rescue, attack the large naga threatening the team, or go after the spellcaster. Deciding that the priest with its spells is likely the greatest threat, he rushes in keeping it close, daring it to cast its spells.

Okay, now for Kala's and Stinky's real actions.
Knowledge (Dungeoneering) DC 18:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24 What are its resistances?
"Naga! Yanda!" Kala quickly casts Magic Fang on Stinky and dashes into position, shouting: "Stinky! Flank attack!" She hopes against hope that if this thing lashes out at them as they get into position that it'll go for her, not Stinky. She glances down into the pit. "Snakes!"

FINALLY! Stinky springs into action, dashing around the Naga to flank with Kala and snapping his jaws.
=== 12:46 Round 2->3 === Tofang - 12 dmg; cognatogen (13:05); ablative barrier (0/25, 17:35); barkskin (13:25); DC 15 Ride check or 1d6 dmg; Tofang's dog (13 hp, AC 13, 15 Con) - 25 dmg; unconscious, prone, dying; stabilization check needed;

Uhvat closes with the priest and delivers a strong hit...
Real is 2:1d2 ⇒ 2
... which hits the actual Sartoss. The image functions like Mirror Image. Uhvat Caster Level check vs SR:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20 Sartoss Fort vs Chill Touch:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
... Chill Touch also affects the serpentfolk, though he resists the Strength damage.
Kala recalls that the Dark Naga has no special resistances. She magically bolsters Stinky's attack and moves into position.
Stinky rushes past the Naga to set up a flank, but giving the creature the chance to try to sting the poor Wolverine.
Sting AoO:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 Stinky, I think with barkskin this is a miss?
... but fortunately he manages to elude the naga's menacing stinger.
Stinky 50% miss chance, high is good for Stinky:1d100 ⇒ 60 Everyone, when attacking the Naga go ahead and roll a 50% miss chance on your attacks - high is always good for the one who is rolling.
Stinky strikes the Naga but does NOT confirm his critical hit.
Left to its own devices, the swarm of angry wasps flies about the room but harms no one. starting next round I will introduce a bit of randomness to the wasp swarm's movement.
Sartoss glares at the menacing Oread in his face and - carefully - attempts to cast a spell.
Cast Defensively DC 21:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
... but luck is not with him and the spell is lost. He shrugs philosophically and steps 5 feet.
Sanaz, the Dark Naga, is staggered from Tofang's attack. She too attempts to cast defensively...
Cast Defensively DC 21:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
... and then a bolt of lightning flies from her directly at both Kala and Tofang!
Electrical dmg:7d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 2, 6, 6, 1, 4) = 25DC 16 Reflex for half Reflex Tofang:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28 ref riding dog :1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 Kala Reflex:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13+1 vs. cold effects
Although Tofang dodges the worst of the blast, neither Kala nor the dog are so fortunate. Indeed, the dog collapses to the floor, near death!
If Your Mount Falls in Battle wrote:
If your mount falls, you have to succeed on a DC 15 Ride check to make a soft fall and take no damage. If the check fails, you take 1d6 points of damage.
Tofang, I'm not sure what your Ride skill is - please make a DC 15 Ride check.
Now that everyone is near the pit, they can all see the massed swarm of snakes that fill the bottom of the 10' deep pit. Despite the fact that the snakes are biting her, Yanda does not move.
snake swarm dmg:1d6 ⇒ 4 Yanda Fort vs distraction:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14+2 vs. poisons, +1 vs. water/cold/earth/acid, +1 vs EX abilities of reptilian humanoid Yanda Fort vs poison:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27+2 vs. poisons, +1 vs. water/cold/earth/acid, +1 vs EX abilities of reptilian humanoid
Yanda:
You are nauseated again, so you still can't try to break the paralysis but fortunately you continue to fight off the poison.

"Aaaugh!" Kala's scream of pain morphs into one of anger. Realizing that she might not make it out of here a live, and thoroughly kicking herself for not thinking to do so earlier, Kala concentrates on dredging up the resistances of the werewolf form granted by Ashava on a previous mission. "Keep attacking Stinky!"
The activated boon:
X☐ Werewolf's Resilience: Ashava has granted you the ability to call upon a lesser form ofher blessing again in the future. You can check the box that precedes this boon to gain DR5/silver for a number of rounds equal to your character level. If you also have the Celestial Lycanthropy boon, checking the box that precedes this boon also grants the benefits of Celestial Lycanthropy.
☐ Celestial Lycanthropy: You have received a blessing from the azata Luvyire that has imbued you with a spark of celestial energy, which will transform you into a celestial werewolf when the time is right. You can check the box that precedes this boon to gain a portion ofthat power, gaining resistance 5 to acid, cold, and electricity for 1 hour. This boon will provide additional benefits in a future scenario.

Uhvat lands another solid blow on the devotee of Kro'akoth. Uhvat, you only have to make the SR check once - since you made it on your first time attacking Sartoss the spell works against him; if you shift to attacking someone else (who also has SR) you'll have to make a separate SR check vs that target.
The buzzing swarm of wasps continues to fly around the room. Angrily.
Explanation of how I'm going to handle the swarm's movement around the room, if you care:
The spell says that if Yanda doesn't exert control each round the swarm just keeps flying in a straight line - it's not entirely clear how that should unfold in a closed room but I don't like my original idea of having them just fly laps around the room. Among other things, it invites some metagaming (not only from y'all, but from me!) since the wasps would basically end up just moving back and forth between the two ends of the room. So after thinking about it a bit I've decided that instead the procedure I'm going to follow is: a) each round have the swarm start moving in a random direction; b) when the swarm hits an obstacle (such as a wall) roll again to see which direction the swarm "bounces" to; c) keep going until its movement is exhausted, at which point its attack will resolve against any creatures in its squares. I hope this seems fair and reasonable. I think it should preserve the sense that the wasps can be a threat to anyone in the room (as they should be) while also preventing that from being something that can be "gamed."
Initial direction (North is 1, then clockwise from there):1d8 ⇒ 1 bounce:1d8 ⇒ 1 bounce:1d8 ⇒ 7 bounce:1d8 ⇒ 7 bounce:1d8 ⇒ 5
The angry wasps nearly descend upon Tofang and his almost dead dog but instead fly just past, bothering no one. For now.
The priest tries to cast another spell...
Cast Defensively DC 19:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
... but, once again, luck is not on his side. He looks a bit less philosophical about it now.
The dark naga also attempts to cast a spell...
Cast Defensively DC 19:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
... and fortune smiles upon her. She disappears from view!
Standing on the edge of the pit, Kala and Stinky can both see that the snakes are continuing to bite Yanda without mercy.
snakebite:1d6 ⇒ 6 Yanda Fort vs distraction:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20+2 vs. poisons, +1 vs. water/cold/earth/acid, +1 vs EX abilities of reptilian humanoid Yanda Fort vs poison:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24+2 vs. poisons, +1 vs. water/cold/earth/acid, +1 vs EX abilities of reptilian humanoid
Although the snakes draw some real blood from Yanda, this time she manages to resist both the poison and the nauseating impact of her situation! Yanda, you can make a Will save as a full round action to try to become unparalyzed.
Round 3 into Round 4
Pathfinders are up! The bold may act! Please be sure to show the path of your movement.

"Crap!"Where'd it go?! In a flash, Kala thinks to follow Stinky's nose. "Stinky! Attack!" As soon as he moves or attacks, she mirrors him and swings at the same section of air. (@GM Abraham: I'll leave moving Kala and Stinky to you this round.)

Well, the big thingy disappeared, but it didn't stop being smelly. Inhaling deeply through his rage, Stinky instinctively turns his head to follow the scent of this big bad thing that hurt his Kala, scrambling after it if necessary.
Stinky will use his Scent ability to track the Naga. It takes a move action to note the direction of the scent, so Stinky can only attack if the Naga hasn't moved more than 5 feet from him.
If Naga is still within 5' of Stinky:
Stinky snaps his jaws and slashes his claws at the space where the Naga smell is coming from.
Stinky is able to smell the Naga, still right in front of him in nearly the same position; angrily he bites the creature, tearing a hunk of invisible flesh from it. Since Stinky used a move action to use scent, he could only make a single attack, but it worked out the same anyway. Incidentally, you roll the miss chance separately for each attack.
Kala swings for the same spot as Stinky but perhaps because her nose is not as refined she is unable to connect.
Gradually, Uhvat's attention is solely focused on the spellcasting serpentfolk. He steps yet closer to his enemy, daring it to move away while he swings once again with his lash.

Uhvat continues to batter the priest, once again undistracted by the duplicate image. His blow strikes home and with a terrible cry of "Kro'akothhhhhhhhh!", Sartoss collapses to the floor.
Wasp swarm movement, 1 is north:1d8 ⇒ 1 Wasp swarm movement, 1 is north:1d8 ⇒ 3 Wasp swarm movement, 1 is north:1d8 ⇒ 4 Wasp swarm movement, 1 is north:1d8 ⇒ 7
Whether it is a sign from the Awakener or not the pathfinders will likely never know but the buzzing swarm of wasps continue to fly angrily around the room before momentarily landing atop Sartoss' fallen body, just five feet away from brave Uhvat! (five or ten more feet of movement and they would have landed on you, Uhvat!)
Meanwhile, the invisible Naga reappears a few feet away as she attempts to shove Stinky into the pit!
Bull Rush vs flat-footed CMD, invis:1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 2 = 13Lucky time for a nat 1!
... but apparently the demise of the priest has distracted the prophetess of Kro'akoth, as she misses badly!
Down below, the swarm of snakes continues to feast upon Yanda!
snakebite:1d6 ⇒ 4 Yanda Fort vs distraction:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19+2 vs. poisons, +1 vs. water/cold/earth/acid, +1 vs EX abilities of reptilian humanoid Yanda Fort vs poison:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15+2 vs. poisons, +1 vs. water/cold/earth/acid, +1 vs EX abilities of reptilian humanoid
But this time she manages to avoid both the nausea and (barely!) the poison.
Round 4 into Round 5
Pathfinders are up! The bold may act. Note that although the Naga is visible again, she still has Displacement (i.e. 50% miss chance). Also, Yanda you are not nauseated so you can attempt another Will save as a full round action to stop being paralyzed.

As soon as the Naga reappears, and especially because it fails to shove Stinky into the snake pit, Kala shouts: "Yes! Stinky! Flank attack!" She hustles into position, and once Stinky has done the same, she swings Orc Brains at the Naga.

Ha! You missed! Stinky snarls in grim satisfaction at the Naga and 5 foot steps into position to flank with Kala before tearing into it again.

And finally, after what seems like eternity, Yanda is able to once again wiggle her fingers and toes. She is still lying flat on her back, surrounded by snakes, at the bottom of a ten foot pit.
Barely stopping to catch his breath, Uhvat turns and closes in on the large naga, keeping as far from the swarm as possible. Realising he is too far away, he decides to circle around the naga, coming round from the other side.

Yanda's wasps, still running amok, buzz angrily around the room before coming to rest upon the dark naga and Stinky!
Sanaz Fort vs distraction DC 13:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 Sanaz Fort vs poison DC 13:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Although the wasps sting both of them, they each appear unaffected by the swarm's poison or its nauseating effect.
Concentration check, casting defensively, DC 21:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
The dark naga sends another bolt of lightning out across the room, this one blasting both Kala and Uhvat! Then she slithers 5' out of the swarm of wasps.
Lightning Bolt:7d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 5, 5, 5, 4) = 27 Uhvat Reflex:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 Kala Reflex:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18+1 vs. cold effects
Although Kala is able to dodge the worst of the bolt (and her resistance further reduces that), Uhvat absorbs its full strength.
By my calculations: Kala takes 13, reduced by 5 from resistance, for 8 dmg total; she already had 27, so she's now at 35 dmg. Uhvat takes 27 dmg, 8 of which are absorbed by False Life; he had 3 dmg before so he's now at 22 dmg. Let me know if any of this seems incorrect.
Down in the pit, the snakes continue to feast upon the no-longer paralyzed Yanda.
snakebite:1d6 ⇒ 4 Yanda Fort vs distraction:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24+2 vs. poisons, +1 vs. water/cold/earth/acid, +1 vs EX abilities of reptilian humanoid Yanda Fort vs poison:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9+2 vs. poisons, +1 vs. water/cold/earth/acid, +1 vs EX abilities of reptilian humanoid
Unfortunately, her luck finally runs out and she is poisoned by their bite!
Con dmg:1d2 ⇒ 1
Round 5 into Round 6
Pathfinders are up. The bold may act!
Yanda, you are no longer distracted or paralyzed so you have your normal set of actions; note that you'll need to use a move action to stand up from prone. If you wish to climb out of the pit please note whether you are using accelerated climbing (-5 penalty to move at half speed instead of quarter speed) before rolling. You are 10' down and the Climb DC is 20. Also, at some point during your turn you'll need to make a Fort save vs poison.
Yanda, make a DC 20 Fly check to fly straight up. The Fly extract will give you a bonus on the check (+4 for good maneuverability, +3 for half your caster level, and you are also currently still Small, so +2 for size, plus your Dex and any ranks you may have in the Fly skill. If you fail you use the action but do not move.
Nevermind, I just looked and saw that you have another +10 from your ranks and it being a class skill, so this should be an auto-success for you. Whew.

As Yanda flies out of the pit, Kala cheers: "Yanda!"One more good hit and I'm dead. They can take this thing without me, right?... Right? Knowing that it may very well be the last thing she does, Kala takes a mighty swing at the Naga.

Stinky hears Kala say "Attack" and "here", but that's not a command he's used to hearing. Further enraged by the wasps, it doesn't even occur to him to move out of the swarm as he simply 5 foot steps forward to tear into the Naga. NO ONE HURTS MY KALA!!!
=== 12:46 Round 5->6 === Tofang - 12 dmg; cognatogen (13:05); ablative barrier (0/25, 17:35); barkskin (13:25); adhesive spittle (r11);

Stinky - 12 dmg; barkskin (12:51); magic fang (12:51);
Tofang drinks an extract and moves into position.
Yanda also drinks an extract and flies up out of the snakepit. She manages to resist the poison flowing in her veins for now but she can tell that it is still present.
Kala swings for the Naga but misses.
Stinky bravely remains within the wasp swarm and attacks the naga. His first two attacks miss but the last one finds the prophetess of Kro'akoth's jugular - if dark nagas have jugulars - and tears it out! She collapses to the floor!
Going to play this out a bit more due to Yanda being poisoned but we should be nearly finished. Well done, pathfinders - I was worried about this one!
Uhvat still has his round 5 action remaining - if he has something he wants to do prior to what I'm about to post we'll interject it.
Round 6->7
From her position up in the air, Yanda can see that the snakes (despite their 20' climb speed! bah!) do not climb out of the pit. She can also resume control over the wasp swarm, and I'll assume you do that.
Yanda is, however, still poisoned. It's a DC 17 Fort save or 1d2 Con dmg; you need to make two consecutive saves to end the poison and so far you've made 1. The poison lasts for 5 more rounds so just go ahead and make up to five Fort saves as needed. Of course if anyone else has antitoxin or anything else useful, feel free to jump in with it. I think it's all moot since even if you failed all 5 rounds I think the maximum Con dmg you would be at would be 11, one shy of death.
