Peridot is not only burnt by the jumping sphere but he also feels a dazing effect!
Additionally, Peridot almost chokes and feels his lungs burn!
-
Ahn can escape the cloud of death effect by holding his breath but as long as he is in the area of evil he feels sickened!!
-
Although Ermias hears Frost's words, he is attracted by the shining light of Ahn's soul and 5ft steps towards him and uses his lunge ability! Drops of acid are visible on his light flail.
"Please ... destroy me, gnome... " he pleads in a growling whisper.
He smites the gnome paladin which allows him to slash across the paladin's chest once!!
* * *
Agate still feels the barrier of evil to be impenetrable!!
You still see the Sage Jewels sparkle with power that is siphoned away to Tahari! You could step into the Sage Jewels’ mindscape anytime you want!

Ragnar - Fort
Frost looks disappointed that the fallen Paladin chose such a craven and cowardly approach to engage someone other than the one who challenged him, but sees the problem with running into a wall of Evil that will leave her badly hampered and inhaling lethal gasses (which are moving toward her), and she moves away to start finding another way to get into the battlespace... she mounts Ragnar as the horse catches up.
|
Ahn, severely beaten and bloodied, considers attaching the graveknight... he knows though that another hit will take him down, and he's standing in the center of a cloud of death. In a flash of thought he sees peridot in the middle of the cloud as well... no way this tiny gnome could get to him and get them both out, without again, the graveknight taking him down.
Ahn realizes, he has to withdraw... looking up at the fallen paladin, Ahn heals himself and then withdraws, hoping to draw Ermias to Frost whom challenged him.
Ragnar is almost consumed by the cloudkill as it is causing blisters on his whole skin - but he is still alive!
Frost sees the clouds expanding and seeks a strategic route to the enemy.
-
Ahn wisely chooses to retreat.

Ahn can miraculously escape the Antipaladin's attack!
A bank of fog billows out from the point you designate. The fog obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker can’t use sight to locate the target).

Amenopheus sees the cloud approaching and in his staggered state moves away!
Agate comes to her senses and feels the disease start to fade! She creates a severe blast of air affecting the cloud ... it is starting to disperse the cloudkill fog!

Athum passes through the "evil" without even a second thought, grazes past the nasty looking fog cloud. With a thought, he activates the Ka Stone on his forehead, growing in size and strength as he approaches the ghostly Tahari.
Move Action: Move 25', drawing Slitherbane.
Swift Action: Enlarge Person, using Ka Stone.
Standard Action: Attack Tahari w/ Slitherbane
Athum realises that Tahari is very well protected with magical aid and that his swing is not even near her!
The shield other spell of Ahn is becoming inactive due to the distance.
* * *
As Peridot is not moving the ball of flames continues to try to burn him but he can dodge the ball!
The gas is still active and eats away at Peridot's health!
* * *
The Sages are lost deep in the mindscape, unaware of the turmoil outside.
* * *
Two more creatures suddenly appear on the periphery of the battle, flying toward the thinning cloud screeching. TAHARI HAS RETURNED, LET US REALIZE HER DESTINY!
Blue-skinned and draped in revealing attire, these humanoid fiends have a sultry gaze suggesting all manner of debased pleasures.
Pairaka - NE Medium outsider (div, evil, extraplanar, shapechanger)
Both blue-skinned beings start looking around. "Ahhh auras of champions of good ... HOW SWEET!" one of the creatures says.
Suddenly, Agate and Ischell feel an unbelievable attraction towards these enticing females.
* * *
Tahari laughs at Athum. "You are weak. Death is already at your door!"
She begins casting defensively and again she is able to form two spells without any verbal or somatic components.
Athum suddenly cannot breathe anymore!
Tahari then tries to touch Athum during the casting of the second spell and is successful ... Athum suddenly feels an illness spreading inside of him!

Ischell sees the creature appear in front of him but, ignoring her presence for the time being, he turns his attention to the anti-paladin threatening the other pathfinders. He allows his anger to burn against this abomination, channelling it to direct his blade.
He spins his chained kama, releasing the blade at the undead. He pulls it back across his target before striking out again.

Tahari then tries to touch Athum during the casting of the second spell and is successful ... Athum suddenly feels an illness spreading inside of him!
Athum is able to shake off the first effects of the suffocation but she fells the spell lingering and trying to take his breath away!
* * *
Agate suddenly feels unbelievably attracted to the Div in yellow garments.
"Please come and give me a hug my dear!" you hear the beautiful lady say to you.
Resistances of the Div: DR 10/cold iron or good; Resist acid 10, electricity 10;
Disease (Su)
A pairaka carries two diseases. Its claws infect targets with bubonic plague, and any willing contact with its skin (such as through caressing, grappling, or more) exposes victims to the shakes.
Bubonic Plague: Claw—injury; save Fort DC 17; onset 1 day; frequency 1/day; effect 1d4 Str damage, 1 Cha damage, and target is fatigued; cure 2 consecutive saves.
Shakes: Contact; save Fort DC 13; onset 1 day; frequency 1/day; effect 1d8 Dex damage; cure 2 consecutive saves.
* * *
Ischell hits the lady Div so she drops to the ground. And his second attack draws blood but the second doesn't penetrate her hard skin!
-
Ermias now sees the large form of Athum near him. Drops of acid are still visible on his light flail.
"Help me ... bring me death!" he pleads to Athum and simultaneously attacks and hits with the first swing.

Athum is able to create a supernatural shield that halts the attack of the Antipaladin!
* * *
Ahn's arrow hits the blue div right in the flank and she shrieks!
* * *
Agate is still charmed by the wonderful lady in blue!
* * *
Ermias is cut by Frost's sword that digs deeper than usual due to its enchantment against undead! Ragnar misses!
"Yes ... paladin of good ... destroy me please!" Ermias cries out.
* * *
You see Amenopheus struggle as if he doesn't want to do what he is about to do ... but then he starts casting and a ball of red fire explodes around Frost, Ragnar, Grandmaster Torch, Peridot and Sinohotep. The Sages are somehow able to avert the fire.
* * *
You still see the Sage Jewels sparkle with power that is siphoned away to Tahari! You could step into the Sage Jewels’ mindscape anytime you want!

And finally, the cloudkill is gone due to the beneficial winds that Agate created!

Agate suddenly emerges in a new scenery!
An enormous violet dragon tiptoes through a library filled with mewling humanoid children. Everywhere she turns she has to cautiously avoid crushing another helpless creature, and they cry out in alarm whenever she turns her attention to the truly interesting texts.
She lies down in weary frustration.
"Why must mortals with their mayfly time scales and their utter lack of regard for their own safety always fluster my research?" a frustrated Tahonikepsu bellows, turning toward you.
* * *
Tahari again tries to touch Athum with her corrupting touch! Her ghostly form passes part of its incorporeal body through Athum's body and the ghost inflicts physical wounds and aches from supernatural aging.
Tahari then also starts to cast a spell on Ischell! Again she does the impossible to cast without somatic or verbal components.
Blindness
* * *
The two lady divs both concentrate now and start to cast a spell defensively ...
... but both spells fizzle!

You still see the Sage Jewels sparkle with power that is siphoned away to Tahari! You could step into the Sage Jewels’ mindscape anytime you want!

You are all surprised when Athum suddenly holds his throat and then with blank eyes drops to the ground unconscious.
|
Agate bows nervously and tries to nudge a few children out of Tahonikepsu's path. "Ah, yes, we learn so slowly. This is why we need you to come out of this dream and bring your wisdom to bear to stop Tahari's threat!"
Maybe moving the dream forward faster could help? "Perhaps I could be of assistance," the dwarf adds. She picks her way through the children to take a look at the books Tahonikepsu was heading for.
Agate’s rousing speech, combined with Tahonikepsu's Unbreakable Heart, cause her to break out of her mindscape, shaking off the obsidian sheen to her eyes.
”Thank you Agate, I knew I could count on you as the only Scarab Sage free to act in this dire situation!“ she adds, before roaring menacingly at Tahari.
Athum's weapon is able to penetrate Ermias' armor and pierces his undead body! You can see that the Antipaladin is now very hurt.

Ermias’ substance is torn apart by Ischell’s blow!
You see Ermias silently cry out in pain and then a ghostly figure of his true form overlaying his undead body.
”Defeated, broken, and imprisoned in Abaddon, I followed her commands unfailingly. However, now I am free to voice my despair and rage! I begged you to destroy my enslaved form and free me from my torment ... and you were here! I still carry the tarnished crook-and-flail symbol of Osiris, my deity of the afterlife and rebirth that will welcome me!“
The Antipaladin is defeated, and he fades away.
You hear his voice again. ”I hope that my weapon might deal the killing blow to my captor!“
His flail remains behind, and it glows with power!
* * *
Ischell then directs his attacks to the prone Div but only the first attack hits although the lady is not stunned!
* *
Tahonikepsu scans the battlefield, sees Athum choking on the ground, and bellows...
"Someone summon Sinuhotep from the jewel! He can dispell this magic on Athum... as well as some of the other magics hindering us... Peridot... you're there, go into the jewel and bring him out!"
She then hits the yellow DIV with her breath weapon
