Oloch swings his mighty sword at the fiery elemental, his strength and skill only gets his so far, the enchanted blade pulls towards the foe who is off balance due to Constantin’s aid, Oloch has already hit the foe once making it easier to do again, and Costantin’s flag give the half-orc moral boost. As luck would have it his great sword just barely by the slimmest margin hits! Striking a mortal blow to the creature.
Truddig lines up and fires another shot from his electric bow, unfortunately it misses by a hair.
Naevy shifts back and fires a frost ray bullet into the fire elemental, wounding it severely, and drawing it’s baleful glare from it’s dying moment.
Oloch’s and Naevy combined attacks snuffs out the element’s fiery life.
Smarmy saves his last two crossbow bolts. The bolt that missed is unrecoverable.
Breathing hard and injured your group has won the first battle outside the palace. A 20 foot high curtain wall with an immense bronze door bars you way forward.

"Oh, smartly done." Smarmy exclaims as the final elemental falls, forcing a smile onto his face. "I only wish I could have been so useful."
As Truddig asks about the door, he almost scowls, but keeps his smile in place. "Oh, I'll get right on that." He retorts.
He takes a moment, to examine the door, in case there are further protections, or it is secured in more mundane ways.

Naevys drinks three of the four potions of cure moderate and picks up her dropped weapons.
Truddig searches the battlefield for lost arrows recovering two.
Smarmy complements everyone on a good job as he starts to examine the large bronze door.
Oloch drinks the last potion of healing that cures all his wounds.
The giant Valsog shows from the edge of town and motions you aways from the door. He heaves a massive rock that flies through the air before hitting the door. It smashes the gate open. He gives you a salute before rushing off to help the Oread subdue more guards.
The Courtyard serves as a training ground and parade yard where you imagen Tygora could address her ifrit minions. As you enter three Ifrit guards exit the palace to defend the courtyard.

Naevys uses magic to enhance her weapons range and moves into the training ground.
Oloch moves into the courtyard and swings his greatsword around menacingly in a dazzling display. The two Ifrit guards are visibly shaken by Oloch’s intimidating display. The other one is too far away to be affected.
Shyvera cast magic.
The two ifrits move up to flank Oloch and attack him. The first one hits while the second attack misses.

Smiling Smarmy quietly moves in and attacks the nearer guard stabbing him deeply in the back, the ifrit Slayer grunts in pain.
Truddig repositions himself as he charges his bow.
Naevys moves forward and fires a frost-covered bullet into Shyvera wounding her. The Ifrit glares at the Tiefling with hate.
Oloch swings his giant sword around hitting the yellow ifrit critically and nearly laying him low with one blow, but the Ifrit remains standing.
Costantin advances and begins an inspiring performance.
Well trained the two ifrits continue to attack Oloch from both sides. The Red ifrit misses with his first attack, but critically hits with his second. The Orange ifrit hits with both attacks the first was nearly a critical. Oloch is still standing. The red Ifrit shifts out of flank and yells aloud ”Shyvera, I wish our foes blinded!”
Granting the wish, Shyvera cast glitter dust on the pathfinders.
She wishcrafter turns to Naevys and demains ”What is your deepest wish!”

Naevys shakes off the effects of the ability and glares at Shyvera. Oh, no. You don't want to know about that.
Naevys reloads her gun with an alchemical cartridge as a move, then casts Ray of Frost again as a standard, delivering it through the gun.
, and
She will also try to determine what types of creatures these are and a few things about them.

Continuing to perform, Constantin avoids getting glitter in the eyes.
Smarmy moves to flank again attacking the ifrit with another painful backstab into the other kidney dropping him. The ifrit guard collapses.
Oloch swings his greatsword again, striking and killing the Ifrit guard!
Naevys resist the urge to wish aloud as she fires another frost ray bullet into the Ifrit general Shyvera wounding her again. Naevys recalls that Ifrits are native outsiders and that as a race some have fire resistance and innate ability to cast burning hands. Shyvera appears to be a wishcrafter sorcerer. The two fallen guards appeared to be trained Slayers.
With the two Ifrit guards down, Truddig targets the Ifrit Shyvera. His electrically charged arrow strikes Shyvera wounding her severely.
Seeing her two guards fall Shyvera sneers at Naevys and throws a fireball out catching Naevys, Oloch and Constantin with it’s fiery explosion.

Luckily outside of the fireball, Smarmy races forward swinging his ax, unfortunately, the rough terrain of the stairs prevents him from charging.
Taking the full blast of the fire, Naevys reloads and fires another frost-covered bullet at Shyvera critically hitting her with a shot to head instantly killing her!
Constantin shields Bunny from the blast, but take the full force on himself.
Oloch rushes up to help, but finds the foe already dead.
Truddig move into the courtyard ready to take another shot, but it’s not needed.
The doors leading further into the palace are open revealing an empty Entry Hall that has two large solid bronze columns flanking a set of brass double doors set into the northern wall. Short hallways extend to the east and west. Elaborate wall hanging and artwork in this chamber which are particularly designed to impress visitors with Tygora’s wealth and power.

Does anyone have some relatively quick healing? We used all the potions we had, and while I have this wand of infernal healing, it will take a few minutes to heal me completely, and I'm not sure we will have that.
Naevys's tail will dip into her pack, pulling out a wand of Infernal Healing as a swift, then she will start casting.
Someone want to search the bodies?

Naevys uses her wand to cast healing magic herself. Her wounds slowly start to heal.
Smarmy searches the fallen foes' finding on Shyvery a dagger, magical cloak, and a magical ring. Then each of on the two Ifrit guards a mwk chain shirt, mwk buckler, magical scimitar, and four daggers.
Constantin uses a wand to heal his own wounds before offering it around.
Oloch: 39 dam (DR20/fire duration 68 min)

Naevys quickly check the magic items over and uses a few hits of Constantin’s healing wand.
Oloch uses his own wand to heal his own wounds.
There are seven sets of doors leading from the entrance hall, the most important looking ones are directly across the entranceway to the north.

I'll take one of the scimitars if no-one minds. I could also use the ring if possible. Naevys looks down at the tears and singes in her clothing. I seem to get hit fairly often. I'm working on more powerful magic to help with that, but it's complicated, and armor interferes with some of my casting, so I've avoided wearing it.

Smarmy eyes the next open area suspiciously, trying to spot any other surprises that might be lurking. He pays special attention to the two large statues by the main doors. He could well imagine Tygora placiung a few guardian constructs.
(+2 if in or related to stone)
Seeing nothing untoward, he motions for the others to enter... allowing them to take the lead... just in case.
"Truddig's words hold great merit." He says, unctuously. "And perhaps an alternate way to the main hall beyond those far doors."

Truddig suggest checking the side rooms.
Naevys takes one of the enchanted scimitars and protective ring.
Truddig picks up the cloak ignoring the blood spatters.
Smarmy eyes the open area suspicious of the two large statues, but can’t see any signs that they are other than what they appear. He agrees with Truddig’s suggestion
Opening the door to the right you find the room contains a deep bath with stepped sides filled with steaming water. The bath occupies nearly half of this room. A small fountain nearby contains cool, clean water, and a single counter holds dozens of salts, oils, and perfumes. Otherwise this room is empty.
The northern doors to the east are locked securely and the far east doors seem to lead to the east wing of the palace, which you feel would lead you away from the main hall and waste your time.
