Both Aaftaab and Parvaaz avoid the splash of fire as Parvaaz flies up over the wall of fire then swopes down to attack Shimazi. Aaftaab’s void blade touches the foe just as Parvaaz’s beak strikes and draws blood. Simazi strikes at Parvaaz as he swoops in through his better reach, but misses the Roc.
Dodging the explosion of fire, Kahwen shifts to attack the strangler from behind and slash him with his deadly blade. Unfortunately he can’t get a flank on his foe because Daedîn doesn't have a weapon capable of threatening the strangler. Still the weapon strikes leaving a nasty wound.
Still on fire, Daedîn attempts to slip from the strangler’s grasp, and just barely breaks the grip holding him there. Then shifts to the side away from the wall of fire.
Dodging the fire splash Starling begins inspiring courage as she moves back down into the lava tunnel away from the wall of fire and for the better acoustics.
Feybella avoids the splash of fire, but not Wolfie. Feybella and Wolfie move back down the lava tunnel with Starling.
The fire on Daedîn continues to burn him as it flares up.
The Xun jumps on Daedîn trying to grab him again, he just barely manages to get a grip on the Sniper
Shifting back a step Shimazi uses his abilities to quickly cast a healing magic on himself, then cast the spell again healing even more before commanding his follower, ”Stop the flying pair, Freeze the Roc!”
The Saboteur throws a cold bomb at Parvaaz hitting the Roc and sending a wave of cold frost over Aaftaab and Kahwen.

Aaftaab avoids the flash of cold as does Parvaaz in avoiding being staggered by the chill. The Roc hops forward a step after landing in order to make his attacks. Aaftaab misses with his void blade. Parvaaz hits with one attach each from his beak and claws tearing open healed wounds.
Breaking free of the grapple Daedîn drops his bow and draw his elven blade.
Failing to avoid the flash of frost Kahwen shifts into a flank with Daedîn and attacks! With the boost from Starling’s performance, he manages to stab the Strangler in the lower back wounding him severely. The Xun grunts and looks angrily at Kahwen.
Cut off from the others by the wall of flames Feybella begins casting magic to summon help.
Daedîn continues to burn taking more fire damage.
The Strangler shifts 5ft and grabs for Daedîn, again his iron grip closes on the sniper holding him fast and preventing him from using the two handed elven curved blade.
Mikogu slashes his large Katana at Parvaaz missing with the first swing. Slashing again his weapon connects with the Roc. The weapon cuts deeply severely wounding overgrown bird which collapses from its wounds. The warior steps back 5ft from the battle giving room for his bomber follower to attack.
Taking a step back the Saboteur throws another cold bomb this time at Aaftaab. The bomb goes off target misses the Grippli landing 5ft to the west. The splash of cold washes over Aaftaab, Parvaaz, and Kahwen.
[ooc](Aaftaab and Kahwen roll a Reflex DC14 or take 4pt cold splash. Parvaaz auto fails do to unconsciousness. )

Parvaaz is severely wounded but he wants to protect! He 5 ft steps forward and the bird and Aaftaab attack with Starling’s inspiration and the blessing!
In Aaftaab’s hand negative energy forms in a void blade!
Parvaaz is hurt! But he bites with Starlings’s inspiration and a blessing!

With Parvaaz refusing to go down the pair shifts forward attacking the leader again. Aaftaab’s void blade cuts deeply as Parvaaz rips another strip of flesh from Shimazi. Looking very bloody the warrior continues to fight on.
Dropping his two-handed sword, Daedîn draws a dagger and waits to strike.
Feybella finishes her summoning calling a Celestial Eagle to Aid them struggle. Appearing perfectly in flank with Daedîn it slashes and bite at the foe, but only a single talon strike gets through to wound the foe.
The Eagle attack was all the distraction Daedîn needed as he thrusted his dagger into the Stranglers ribs and killing him. The strong arms go limp releasing the sniper.
Starling continues to inspire courage in her allies.
With the Xun Strangler dealt with Kahwen moves forward with a scout charge to attack Mikogu Shimazi with his elven curved blade.
With his longer reach, Shimazi slashes he Katana across Kahwen as he moves in.
Kahwen drives his elven blade deep into Mikogu and out the other side. Mikogu Shimazi looks puzzled as his eyes glass over and he body goes limp with death.
As Mikogu crumples to the ground a flight of three Kirin breathing hard from exertion wing into the cave from the outside. Everyone can hear their telepathic voice as they arrive ”We have come to save you!”
One Kirin blast the remaining Saboteur with a Scorching rays killing him.
Another flies over to Daedîn and creates water on him putting the fire on him out.
The third lands and heals Parvaaz’s wounds so he is no longer dying.
Confronting Shimazi and emerged victorious, you find Tsuneo, Amara, and the servants have been rendered helpless by the poison of the Golden League saboteurs. Lucky the Kirin can cast lesser restoration to restore their lost ability, they also cast healing magic to restore everyone to full health.
As Iko Tsuneo is recovering he addresses you ”I am impressed by your honour and good intentions your actions reflect well upon the Society! I agree fully with an alliance. I must apologise I feel responsible for my former student’s actions which have put Amara Li and you at risk. We thought he was killed years ago.”

Kahwen sees his opportunity and takes it and takes the hit it requires in return. He is probably more surprised than his opponent when the man goes down.
But he is massively relieved as the heavenly creatures arrive to provide their aid.
He bows to Tsuneo, right hand over chest, left hand holding his sword out.
"It was our honor. May the Kirin live forever with the aid of the Pathfinders!"

Daedîn nods in appreciation to the one dousing him with water. "Thanks, I was feeling medium rare..."
Turning to his companions, he bows as he speaks. "Well done...I thought our goose, or should I say my goose, was cooked there for a moment. If ever any of you need help in the future, my bow is yours..."
The Elf pulls the dagger from his foe's ribs, sheathing it as he moves to retrieve his bow and curved blade...
He then bows to Tsuneo and Amara Li. "No worries, 'twas a pleasure to serve..."

Amara Li addresses the PCs one final time upon their return to Ramparassad. “Several years ago I arrived in Absalom as a nearly unknown figure who spoke of a nearly unknown land, and together we endeavored to bring the wonders of Tian Xia to the Pathfinder Society and in doing so draw the Society’s attention to our land. We brought the Decemvirate knowledge of the Hao Jin Tapestry, and it was we who guarded it against further intrusion when our enemies exploited gaps in the demiplane’s weave. With our efforts, it is now one of the greatest treasures and tools of the Society. Were that not enough, we have now secured an alliance with an ancient and honorable organization. There is much honor in what we have done, and so much of it belongs to you for your years of service.
“I have a few last tasks to conclude before I return to Goka to lead an expanded lodge there—the Society’s new regional headquarters. While our accomplishments thus far are great, even greater work lies ahead for me, and I cannot split my attention between the whole of Tian Xia and interests in the Inner Sea. I shall always support you when you are in Tian Xia, but your oaths and obligations to me are now officially fulfilled. Do not think that you are being abandoned. If you wish to seek a new patron, you will receive a letter of introduction penned by my own hand. If you wish to continue to serve me, do so by working alongside your fellow Pathfinders and sending me news of your travels. For now, rejoice, for we are victorious!”

The Kirin is the capstone achievement of the mission Venture-Captain Amara Li undertook 2 years ago when she first brought the Lantern Lodge to Absalom and proposed an expanded exploration of Tian Xia. The Lantern Lodge transitions from a minor faction and special interest into a fully recognized branch of the Pathfinder Society that might oversee even greater projects in Tian Xia.
