Looking to Warpac, she explains “i was assuming you were something more than a peasant, Warpac. If you work with us and are worthy, you would lead the peasants. It is for leaders such as I to guide the peasants to their glorious future.”
With a dismissive wave towards Tycho, she adds “I doubt you are actually the thief who stole from me, but in answer I agree they do not deserve the fate I have given them. That just proves what a generous person I am, sharing even with those who would steal from me!”
“So are you willing to help me with a small task, to prove you are worthy of the leadership I offer? If not, perhaps you would take a lesser role as mercenaries.”

Warpac is wondering, too what it is that they are being accused of stealing. Probably the gear from the dead cultists. Just like a wacko like him to consider that stealing.
"Not interested. Telling other folks what to do or being told what to do are equally annyoying. Live and let live is my motto."
Warpac has his axe out now, his nervous habit of twitching it this way and that, tapping it into walls and objects taking over. Though both socially and tactically a mistake (occupying his spell casting hand), he doesn't even notice he's doing it.

“Leeara” sticks their tongue out at Abtaroh, making a disgusting noise. Sparkles pop into existence around the two enemies; among the silver flecks dance black-as-night shadows.

Theodric, still feeling a little queesy and slightly confused by the sudden change back to aggression casts haste.
I think I can't see Tycho to target them, but can get everybody else.

Melody begins a pep talk. "All right, team. This is very weird, and I don't really understand what's going on. But whatever we do, we're going to do it well!" She then steps to the side.

Seeing hostility break out, Mongo flings his teacup over his shoulder and charges forward, trying to run over Abtaroh. He draws his sword as he moves, but does not use it, instead slamming into her with his spiky shoulder.
Theodric just wants this done with and casts Haste while Mango pecks at Penny.
Melody starts to cheer and dance, even though she doesn’t understand why.
Mongo breaks his cup, then smashes into the lady who gave him it. She doesn’t appear disoriented.
Fort:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
“Did someone just smash one of my cups? How uncivilized!”
She then gets out a stick and says a word. There are now a total of four of her! She seems to still be blind though.
Will save:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Looking over my notes, I just realized that I had forgotten to apply conditions. Theodric and Tycho became Sickened as they cast their spells. It will pass quickly, going away at the start of their next round unless they do something to cause it again.

I hadn't realized my previous sickened had gone away.

warpac has no idea what just happened, but the caster is annoying enough that he's fairly certain he could use a good thumping. Or, if nothing else, at least he could pop an image.

Annoyed that the only standing enemy is grappled, Mongo lashes out at the prone caster with the flat of his sword. No special things vs. mirror image, but not knowing if I popped an image between attacks I'll leave the mirror image rolling to you.
Mirror Image:1d3 ⇒ 1 Mirror Image:1d3 ⇒ 3 Mirror Image:1d2 ⇒ 1 Special, 26+ bad for Abtaroh:1d100 ⇒ 8
“Ye**Oof** Yes you we**Ouch!* were!” she tries to get out as Mongo slams her with the flat of his blade. He only popped one image in all that. The first hit was solid, but didn’t do as much damage as expected.

Theodric fires off a quick acid splash at Abtaroh , mostly hoping to pop his last image.
ranged touch, not including prone, using guidance, no precise:1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 4 = 19 damage:1d3 ⇒ 1
Theodric hits her, failing to disrupt an image. He feels sickened after casting the spell.
Not knowing where anyone is nor how many images might remain, Abtaroh uses the magic stick again before attempting to stand.
Images:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
She then tries to stand.
She would be surprised to find out it only provoked from one person. Will save to recover from Blindness:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Too late to RetCon now, but I should have been inflicting Sickened on Mongo for the CMB actions as well. He would not have been sickened on the round he used his sword though. Will be watching this more closely. If someone is trying to figure out the pattern and sees something that doesn’t seem right, point it out and I will clarify if that was a mistake or not. Warpac in the pit should have gotten sickened for one round as well.
Red is Elbris, Blue is Abtaroh. Sorry that wasn’t clear.
Timtenzekil moves Elbris around like he is some sort of rag doll.
Going to wait to resolve Warpac’s Attacks until after the AoO takes place as there may be less images. I have moved Warpac the 5’ step required towards Abtaroh.

On her way up, Mongo takes out one of the just created images.

Warpac takes out an image and strikes Abtaroh with the second swing.
Elbris makes a valiant effort to get free but fails. Penny rewards him for the effort with a warning nip.
CMB (looking for that nat 20!), Prayer:1d20 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 2 - 1 = 20 Close!
“I can see again!” Elbris exclaims as the glitter clears from his eyes, only to be followed shortly by a much less enthusiastic “Oh, this isn’t what I wanted to see...”

I usually don't go around color spraying bosses, but will do so to mooks. However, please let me know OOC if this is preventing your character from using fun abilities, as I would not do so if that's the case.

If he's still standing after the color spray:
"Then let the Grey lady decide your fate." chants Theodric as he swiftly moves to the far side and readies for Mango to provide the flank.
Elbris doesn’t even have time to yell in alarm before being knocked unconscious. He drops a dagger and a potion vial.
Spoiler:
Not that it matters, the battle will not last this long:2d4 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4
The creature is unconscious, blinded, and stunned for 2d4 rounds, then blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, and then stunned for 1 round. (Only living creatures are knocked unconscious.)
