In her confusion, Shiva swings at her own friends, fortunately missing both of them!

End of Round 2, start of Round 3

Yanda punches herself lightly in the face, and her ablative barrier makes it even less impactful.

Wasp swarm turns L (1) or R (2): 1d2 ⇒ 2

Yanda's angry wasps can be heard buzzing around and although the fog in the room prevents them from being seen, it sounds as though they have come closer and are stinging the Red monstrosity in front of the door.

Onjatan is up and must attack Shiva

Single attack or full? There's some disagreement on which one is correct. For what it's worth, unless instructed otherwise I consistently do single attacks for "attack nearest", whether that is an enemy or ally.

I would say full attack barring some persuasive reason why you wouldn't.

Onjatan's gaze snaps to the one who had tried to attack him, and he retaliates with a pair of cestus strikes.

Full attack Shiva
Attack: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 12 + 1 = 24
CI Bludgeoning Damage: 1d4 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8

Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 = 22
CI Bludgeoning Damage: 1d4 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 1 = 8

Onjatan confusedly swings at Shiva but fortunately misses both times. Shiva, your current AC is 25, yes?

Everyone, I'm just going to roll all y'all's Will saves as a batch - otherwise this is going to get completely bogged down. Feel free to use a reroll or other ability on any of the rolls I make for you if you feel like you would have done so had you made the roll.

A spell trigger word is heard from somewhere behind Red and slightly to the left. A mass of sticky Blue webbing appears amidst the pathfinders, narrowly missing Onjatan and Yanda, but landing right atop Shiva and Mykel!

Mykel, let me know if you have a reroll and want to use it on that nat 1 (though as your friendly GM I'd say you might want to save it...)

The webbing is treated like the web spell.

Shiva easily dodges the webbing but Mykel is caught by it and is now grappled!

On the plus side, this counts as an attack, freeing both Shiva and Mykel from the obligation to continue the cycle of confusion attacks (unless someone attacks them before their next turn).

The Red monstrosity standing in front of Onjatan and Yanda appears to be visibly healing its minor injuries sustained by the wasps. It steps 5' to move away from the swarm of wasps and glares at one of the foes in front of it...
Yanda 1, Onjatan 2: 1d2 ⇒ 2
... and then casts a horribly sounding spell at brave Onjatan. No option for an AoO due to being confused.

Round 3/Round 4

Pathfinders are up! The bold may act. Note your individual spoilers for instructions regarding your current mental state!

Also note that the area of the Blue template is under the effect of a Web spell. It counts as difficult terrain. Moving within it requires a CMB or Escape Artist check to not become grappled. Anyone further than 5' away has cover; further than 20' has total cover. You all know that the webbing is flammable.

Once again Yanda feels the need for self flagellation, but not owning a whip she instead punches herself.

damage: 1d8 ⇒ 4
On the bright side, she is not strong enough to do much harm to herself instead.

Will vs Red: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 27 +1 if these guys use psychic magic

Onjatan looks past the nearest monster, into the fog. "G r a n d f a t h e r ?."

A look of fear briefly passes over his face, before he gets control. "N o .. I m p o s s i b l e .."

Faced with a brief moment of clarity, Onjatan pushes his darkened eyewear off and closes the door.

Just realized I forgot to roll concealment vs Shiva, in case her AC was lower than 25

Not sure if closing the door will actually have any effect, or what the turn orders involved are like... but interrupting the auras is worth a shot.

Did Onjatan's Dungeoneering roll of 18 from back here identify Red? If so, lokoing for Resistances

waiting to see if Onjatan's door closing does anything..if not, i'll wait till he gets back and i'll step in...

Flames race down Shiva's arms and along her sword. Waving the fire about she clears space around herself.

incremental elemental assault to treat her sword as Flaming. Burn off the webs in hers and Mykel's squares.

Yanda punches herself in the face. Lightly. This absorbs the last of Ablative Barrier; the damage is all non-lethal as a result.

Onjatan sees an apparition of his fearsome grandfather but fortunately recognizes it as a mere illusion. Then he closes the door, but not before he recalls that the creature standing in front of him is a Seugathi, a worm-like monster that has a hideous face of eyes and hooked jaws. It wields a wand and a sword in its twin tentacle tails. These large aberrations, he recalls, are typically chaotic evil. They are resistant to spells and to bludgeoning damage.

Shiva clears away the webbing from herself and Mykel. I'll note web-free squares with a small frame on those squares on the map.

Mykel is up (and no longer grappled since Shiva has cleared the web from his square. With the door closed, he feels like himself again, though his mind is still rather foggy. The confusion effect is interrupted by the closing of the door but the mind fog (Will penalty) persists.

Onjatan tries holding the door shut, hoping to give everyone a chance to come to their senses. He doesn't get a very good grip, though.

"C u t . t h e m" he says.

Strength: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Mykel collects himself as e shakes his head to clear it.

Ok...everyone good? I can deal with these things...Yanda..step back...on my go, we open the door...deal? he says as he gives everyone a chance to get ready.

"Yea, good idea. that fog stuff is really messing with my mind."

Mykel collects himself as e shakes his head to clear it.

Ok...everyone good? I can deal with these things...Yanda..step back...on my go, we open the door...deal? he says as he gives everyone a chance to get ready.

Just to clarify: the way auras work, as soon as you open the door (or they open it), you'll all need to make three Will saves vs confusion. That'll be true even if you have a readied action, such as 'attack as soon as the door is opened.'

i know...i was just making sure we're buffed and jn right position...

But, since Onjatan isn't currently affected by any of them... +1 morale bonuses on the rolls to anyone within 10'

Yanda moves to the back of the room, hoping that will put her outside the dang auras. she then uses her spring loaded wrist sheath to regain some HPs.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Yanda isn't up yet. Only Mykel has actions still available before the seugathi go again. If you want to try to hold the door shut (either by aiding Onjatan or by making your own check) I'll allow that. Also, Yanda, note that the Blue template is the Webbing (except for the squares that Mykel and Shiva are currently in, where it has been burned away). I'm not sure if you would have had sufficient movement to reach the far side of the room without going through the web?

I'll keep that in mind and wait until I have an action. In the mean time I put her back where she belongs.

Attempted aid to hold door:
strength: 1d20 ⇒ 11

ugh...i posted earlier...or so i thought...i'm delaying until we are ready to go...so no action other than helping holkd the door...

ugh...i posted earlier...or so i thought...i'm delaying until we are ready to go...so no action other than helping holkd the door...

No worries - I just wanted to be sure that you weren't trying to do something before I moved the action forward. I'll treat your action as an Aid attempt on holding the door.

Mykel Aid another DC 10: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (8) + 0 = 8

Onjatan attempts to hold the door shut and both Yanda and Mykel try to help.

Red Str check to open the door: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Onjatan feels the creature attempt to open the door, first with a normal pull, and then with a strong tug when it realizes that the door is being held. Fortunately, the creature's strength is not up to the task. For now at least.

The door is closed and all the auras are currently blocked, so no need for any Will saves or Confusion rolls. You are all Not-Confused. :-)

In their minds the pathfinders hear the telepathic sound of cursing - it appears that the Seugathi are not fond of Yanda's wasps.

Pathfinders are up! The bold may act "normally." Note that although the door is (temporarily) closed that is just because you beat its Str check. You all know that as soon as the door is opened you will all have to immediately (before any of your actions, readied or otherwise) make 3 Will saves vs 3 confusion auras. Also, the area within the blue template is still webbing (except for Mykel and Shiva's squares, where it has been burned away). If you decide to retreat you have a path along the Western walkway that doesn't pass through the webbing (and if you do decide to do this, I'll note that you saw that the Seugathi are large and would therefore have to squeeze through the door once they got it open). The Yellow and Green mind fogs are no longer relevant (everyone has passed their saves except poor Mykel who is definitely still under the -10 effect (this has nothing to do with the door being closed), so I've removed their templates to make it easier to see the map. What would you like to do? I'm going to wait to resolve any actions until everyone has a chance to chime in since I think your decisions here could be very impactful.

Yanda smiles lightly at the success of the wasps. Since they are mindless and all of that aura stuff messed with minds, she could understand their cursing. How hard could it be to wipe out a swarm of wasps? she thinks with bemusement, the bemusement of a bomb throwing alchemist so, yeah.

Yanda flies over the edge of the web spell and heads toward the back of the room (ending up at 10' elevation), then cures herself for 6 points with a wand.

Back up and prepare any ranged attacks you have.

Shiva conjures up a a musical note to hold the door closed and backs away.

cast Solid Note to hold the door closed, the Note has an effective strength of 20 (10 + CL) for opposed strength checks.

Str, Solid Note: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

nice, that should give us at least a round to get out of aura range and ready actions

Seeing Shiva's spell press into the door, Onjatan lets go.

"A r a g a . f i r s t .."

He picks up Araga, stows her safely in her pouch, and backs up.

Assuming it's 2 move actions to pick up and stow Araga, which would leave him only a 5' step. If it's just 1 action, he could move 20'. Not sure where Shiva is at this time (last post said she was backing up, but the map hasn't been updated), so haven't moved Onjatan's token yet.

Yandra retreats to the far end of the chamber and heals herself. It looks like you put yourself inside the web so I've moved you back one square so that you are outside of it. I believe it extends 20' radius in each direction, including up and down.

Shiva blocks the door with a physical embodiment of her music! Nice move!

Onjatan stows Araga's unconscious form out of harm's way and steps back 5 feet. I've adjusted your position.

Mykel is up!

(Mykel hasn't posted for a few days so if they don't post by tomorrow I'll just put them on delay to move us forward. Think about what y'all want to do - I think it's unlikely that the Seugathi are going to get the door open with that roll, at least this round, so you all will probably have another turn to do what you want. Bear in mind that 20' of web will provide total cover (and 5' to 15' provides cover) so you will have to position yourselves carefully if you are planning to stay and fight at range.

i'm waiting for the door to open and we all go in...i can't do anything other than hack the crap out of it...i can prepare a readied if something breaks through.

readied: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (12) + 21 = 331d8 + 10 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 10 + 9 = 20

hello?

biweekly bump to keep the game active while we wait. I can send the chronicle info from my core run to anyone trying to level up for another game.
