Kolgradd will delay until after Boodiddly and Jevar
Kolgradd remembers a few Denizens of Leng, but none that looked like this.
"I'm sorry have we met?"
He shifts his feet and brings the hilt of Teralindar's Honor up to his shoulder.
As the smoke clears, the zombie and denizen are both covered in frost, but the denizen seems to be completely uncaring and the zombie shrugs it off disturbingly quickly. The zombie is immune to the void damage and resists the cold damage, and the denizen is immune to the cold damage. I actually went back through y’all’s previous times with denizens of Leng, and this is…actually the first time their inherent immunity to cold has actually been relevant.
Boodiddly attempts to calm the combatants. Zombie is mindless, so only the denizen is affected.
The denizen chitters angrily as she says ”Thrushmoor ring any bells?!” ◆ Condemn: the denizen Demoralizes, then imposes the stunned condition with a value equal to the target’s frightened value. But that is still a concentrate action.

Damn the second time I've been crit while having Wooden Double prepared and I can't take reactions >.<
Kolgradd shakes himself out of his shock at seeing the Denizen so easily shrug off his attacks.

Boodiddly pulls out his trusty jaw-harp and gives it a twang to make sure it still works after all these months of neglect.
Sonic damage:8d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 2, 1, 2, 6, 4) = 26(Basic Fortitude DC 34)
"Sorry, you're going to have to be more specific - there's a short list of imbeciles, but you'd be surprised how many of them lack any other distinguishing characteristics than just that." He shrugs.
Diplomacy to Bon Mot vs Weiralai Will DC:1d20 + 26 ⇒ (9) + 26 = 35
Casting phantom orchestra over Yellow [AA] and Bon Mot [A].
Boodiddly summons an orchestra (made an orange radius for you to keep track of that) then verbally jabs at Weiralai.
Weiralai basic Fort:1d20 + 23 ⇒ (7) + 23 = 30
Failure on the Bon Mot.
Kolgradd charges forward and attacks Weiralai, but the denizen deftly dodges.
Also, these saves technically happen at the end of each PC’s turn, but I’m just lumping them together here for efficiency. Also, after looking over the rules, the order of operations with this ability is first you lower the value of your frightened at the end of your turn, THEN you make your save against this effect. This is technically a visual effect, so Boodiddly could use counter performance on it, but it would only benefit one person at a time.
She then attempts to ◆ Tumble Through Jevar’s space!
Weiralai Acrobatics vs Jevar Reflex DC w/frightened 1 & rallying anthem:1d20 + 28 ⇒ (14) + 28 = 42
She then looks down on Boodiddly.

Shohreh is a blur of motion, doing everything she can to keep Boodiddly upright and distract Weiralai. She practically dances around the denizen before flinging a shard of moonlight directly into her eyes.

As I understand Kolgradd can run through the orchestra safely, he just needs to not be in it when it plays, hopefully that's right!
Kolgradd ignores the dragon despite the horrific explosion of effluvia from it, and chases after Weiralai.
◆ Stride
He spares her no more banter and focuses instead of killing her, but the frustration is plain on his face, he knows she'll be back again.
Weiralai ◆ Steps away from Kolgradd and turns her attention to Shohreh.
”And you! You took a different face back then. Perhaps I will tear off this one and see what’s underneath!” ◆ Condemn. Because of the wording on Demoralize, it doesn’t technically target, so no flat check is needed (which makes sense; one’s inability to properly see doesn’t negate the threat of the words).
Weiralai Intimidation vs Shohreh Will DC w/rallying anthem:1d20 + 30 ⇒ (4) + 30 = 34
Her words not doing much of anything against Shohreh, Weiralai instead stabs at Boodiddly!
"You may try," Shohreh answers, her tone dismissive. Stepping out of Weiralai's reach, the cleric points to the sky and is answered by a roaring column of fire that fills the entire width of the tunnel.

Kolgradd rushes around to put himself in the way of Weiralai's inexorable approach of his allies, and tries to trip her to stop her from getting away from him.
Content that he'll be able to make an opportune swing at her as she stands, he re-establishes his firm two-handed grip
◆ Interact to Re-grip
Otherwise:
With one hand for balance, he cuts at her legs to punish her for resisting his toppling attack.

Boodiddly conjures a protective ward around himself, then walks around the imbecile and places himself firmly between them and Jevar. "If you want him," he intones to the sound of a dramatic timpani roll, "then you'll have to go through me."
Sonic damage:8d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 3, 4, 2, 6, 5, 3) = 30(Basic Fortitude DC 33)
Shohreh’s player has informed me that they actually mixed up divine wrath (which only affects enemies) and divine immolation (which affects all creatures in the area). They meant to do the one that wouldn’t affect allies.
Shohreh steps away and conjures a burst of spiritual energy!
Unfortunately, “if the attack hits and this reaction was triggered by a frightened creature, the triggering action is disrupted.” So Boodiddly’s movement doesn’t happen, meaning he can only position the phantom orchestra to hit the dragon and not Weiralai.
And yeah, Boodiddly is probably gonna ↻ Shield Block that, so he only takes a total of 8 damage from that attack (after the rallying anthem resistance and the Shield Block Hardness reduction).
Boodiddly is frightened 1 and Kolgradd is frightened 1 0.
At the start of her turn, Weiralai heals 15 HP.
Severely beaten and on the ground, Weiralai has very little that she can do, but she tries to make the most of it as she attempts to ◆ Disarm Kolgradd! Technically the penalty from being prone shouldn’t apply to this roll since it’s not an “attack roll,” but that is the #1 silly rule I houserule away since it’s a roll with the attack trait; why is that not an “attack roll”?!.

"I hope coming back from the dead is painful!"
Kolgradd makes a quick slice, down and to the right, and then with his shoulder lowered shoves into Weirlai, before slicing back up when she's taken hopefully off-guard.
Is the dragon sickened 1 from failing against divine wrath? It feels weird, but I don't think undead have a blanket immunity to it, so idk.
Shohreh wipes the horrifying mess from her eyes and remains focused on the greater threat: Weiralai. The spellheart grafted to her starknife glows faintly as she hurls it in a wide, sweeping arc at the denizen of Leng.

Whoops! You are correct, and I forgot that. I've got it in my notes now, so it should be reflected properly in future rounds. The -1 didn't change anything about the result of people's saves, though.
apologies, my return last night was later than I thought it'd be and I crashed after updating the game I'm running
Weiralai... right. You sure took your time reminding us that you exist. he quips, to see how she'll react.
Now that she's close enough to her dragon, Jevar can...

Boodiddly blithely skips backwards into the viscera-covered tunnel and strikes up a second verse - this time with the lyrics focusing more on how dumb you'd have to be to come after someone who already killed you once, let alone four someones.

Not my finest work, but passable. With that, the musician takes a deep breath, clenches his diaphragm, and claps his hands once.

Weiralai basic Fort:1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28And there it is!
The void energy surrounds Weiralai until her knees buckle and she collapses to the ground! Shohreh then throws her starknife at the zombie! Crit. So, long story short, the dragon is resistant to all damage 11 but weak to crits 22. It’s kinda unclear if that weakness applies to each individual bit of damage from the attack, but I’m just gonna err on the side of “too good to be true” and say it only applies to the slashing damage there. So the spirit and void damages are ignored but it takes a lot more slashing damage.
Deadly 2d6:2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6
Modifying Jevar’s turn since the chain lightning no longer makes sense: Jevar Strides forward and casts ignition.
Changing Kolgradd’s actions a bit: Kolgradd advances on the zombie dragon and attacks it, slicing it in two as it falls to the ground, unmoving!
As the former amnesiacs get their bearings following that attack, they find that Weiralai’s body has dissolved into nothingness within 1d4 ⇒ 1 rounds, leaving only her equipment behind.

Jevar discovers that the Rovagug woman’s armor is not only cursed, but cursed with that of a graveknight—an undead that will consume whomever wears the armor to power its own rejuvenation. Thus…Jevar uses Drain Familiar and casts a disintegrate to completely obliterate the armor. She was a worshiper of Rovagug; it’s what she would have wanted XD
Weiralai’s armor seems to be a set of +2 greater resilient antimagic leather armor.
As the group searches around these hallways, they eventually find that there is a secret door nearby. Inside of which is a small, undecorated room that seems to be a storage cache, with inscriptions written in Yithian (Kaklatath can translate) describing each of the room’s items and their functions.
Loot:
Three greater grudgestones
A mantle of glistening metal that allows the wearer to grow a set of coppery wings (This functions as a set of winged sandals that is a worn cloak instead of worn shoes.
A set of 21 one-foot-wide silvery disks. Upon speaking a command word, the disks begin to spin and reshape themselves onto the user’s body. This otherwise functions as a variant life-saver mail that also has the effects of a greater ready rune.
Inventory Updated
Also in that hidden cache is an accordian-like device constructed of metal alloys with handles and controls at one end and a bright metal disk at the other.
Kaklatath takes this device and “says” ”This is a lightning gun—a weapon used by us Yithians. It will be a bit difficult in this form, but I should still be able to use it.” Kaklatath opens it up to examine the lightning gun. ”This is very old and not as well-tuned as I would like. I can make this work, but not as often as I would like.”
Basically, once per round a PC can spend an action commanding Kaklatath to make a lightning gun Strike (+22 to hit, 4d12 electricity damage).
1 is north, 2 is east:1d2 ⇒ 1
To the north
Four massive columns of hewn stone tower up to the 40-foot-high ceiling of this hall. Twenty feet above the floor, a wide balcony overlooks the dusty basalt meeting room. Cut out from one corner is a cylindrical shaft that rises far beyond the boundaries of this chamber. On the ground level, a passage winds to the east, and from the balcony, another passage travels south. Map Updated
On the ground level of this room are two very strange sights: One is a utterly alien entity with spindly tendrils, two pincers, and a strange third appendage covered with fleshy “pipes.” Kaklatath says ”That’s…that’s a Yithian. But they seem to have been…crushed and broken!”
The other thing in the room is…dozens upon dozens of humanoids that have disturbingly little noteworthy features beyond the fact that each one is covered with fungus and seems to be growing it out of their bodies. These dozens of humanoids are all smushed together in a massive pile of limbs, bodies, and indistinguishable faces.
And as the former-amnesiacs look at this Yithian, they see brief visions of this Yithian being smothered and crushed between many, many humanoid bodies.
For the sake of my own sanity, I’m having Red Delay until after Jevar.
Shohreh blinks in surprise as the pincer passes just by her head, before backing out of the monster's reach and intoning a spell. A spinning sphere of silver energy begins to collect in the hall beyond, growing rapidly in size until detonating in a impossibly bright flash.

"I almost feel sorry for Weiralai" Kolgradd had said after Shohreh sucked her life force out. "She spent so long thinking about us and we just killed her again"
Now faced with fresh monsters he quickly resumes his stance and lashes out at the broken thing.

"I bet she'd be really upset if something else killed us first while she was putting herself back together," Boodiddly replies with a grin.
-------------------
Occultism, EK to Recall Knowledge vs Yithian:10 + 20 = 30(Unmistakable Lore, Know-it-all, Dubious Knowledge)
Boodiddly follows Shohreh back into the hallway and begins to whistle, hoping the much-larger entities won't be able to reach them in there. But just in case, he conjures his familiar ward.
Recall Knowledge [F], Stride [A], and cast rallying anthem [A] and shield [A].
The Yithian is an undead that is particularly vulnerable to bludgeoning (because its body was crushed) and cold (because it was suffocated).
Boodiddly moves away and begins singing.
Shohreh summons a massive burst of the moon in the cylindrical portion of the room. Shohreh’s player and I already hashed out the geometry of it all. Red will have cover against this.
But first… As Shohreh begins casting the spell, the many, many eyes of the swarm of fungal humanoids stare up at her in disturbing anticipation as she feels the suffocating attention of the swarm.
Shohreh becomes frightened 2 immediately prior to casting moonburst. For as long as she is frightened, she is also slowed 1 (note that that only matters if you start your turn with it) and takes a -10-foot status penalty to her Speeds.
Jevar sends electricity through his enemies! So…really really weird situation on when the chain lightning becomes a hostile action against Red, specifically. Like, if Green critically succeeds is it a hostile action against Red yet? I’m gonna rule that it only becomes a hostile action once the creature would make the save, so in this case it would be after Green rolls their save.
Even though technically chain lightning isn’t an AoE, I’m going to count it as one because…c’mon!
At the end of each PC’s turn, they have to make a save against the crushed Yithian’s gaze, which seems to recreate the moment of its death. Again, this happens after reducing one’s frightened value.
The humanoid swarm ◆◆ casts a 4th-rank fear! Because it’s a Huge creature, I’ll say that it’s able to target Jevar and Kolgradd with this, but that Shohreh and Boodiddly can’t be because of the angle that it’s at relative to the balcony.

"Cold might bother that one, but I'm not completely certain about that," Boodiddly calls to Jevar and Shohreh. "And, well, it's already pretty flat, so I don't think flattening it more would work well, but you never know?" With a whistle and a wave, a wash of warm wisteria whimsy wafts through the air.

"Don't look at it!"
Kolgradd's inane comment is made even more silly as he looks directly at the stranged crushed Yithian while trying to dismember it.
I’m gonna let it go through, but quick note that I had you cast chain lightning when I botted you before, so you would have to Drain Familiar to do that. I’ll retcon the previous ”Drain Familiar to disintegrate the graveknight armor” thing and just say y’all keep that armor in a spacious pouch until Jevar can disintegrate it later.
Darn, yeah I forgot to mark down used slots after returning. He could have also just used a 7th-level slot from drain familiar to ensure both spells had occurred.
Suddenly, and completely inexplicably, the former-amnesiacs watch as a crowd of humanoids slowly fades into existence around Boodiddly and Shohreh, as the humanoid swarm simply reappears, its constituent parts wrapping around the cleric and the bard and practically suffocating and crushing them! Mechanically it just reappeared with y’all occupying its space because…reasons. It has no actions to do anything once it reappears. Y’all can easily move out of its space like any other swarm.
At the start of its turn, the crushed Yithian heals 10 HP.

Boodiddly nopes out of the hallway and around the corner as briskly as his legs can carry him. What was that? he wonders to himself as he strikes up another stanza to his cheerful whistle-tune. Probably what killed the yithian, but how, and why... Well, probably by bludgeoning them to death and suffocating them. How charming.

Jevar stands and sprints to the opposite corner...

Only then does he take stock of the pain that has overwhelmed his mind. A dull, persistent ache that threatens to disrupt attempts at incantation just flavor.
He sends his staff at the Yithian.

Delay until after Jevar
Kolgradd stands aside for Jevar to rush past, then moves back to stand in the way.
Wasting no time for words, he tries to cut the Yithian down, for good this time. He glances at the wird press of bodies, but tries to focus on the more mundane floating undead creature from nightmware.
Shohreh patches up Jevar and sends needles at the Yithian, knocking it to the ground!
Also moved some people around to accommodate the spaces.
Jevar runs away and sends a hand of the apprentice at the fallen Yithian, causing it to turn to dust! deactivates its regen. I just had Jevar continue with that course of action to save my own sanity.
Kolgradd attacks the humanoid swarm, but as he does, he feels their hundreds of empty eyes upon him.
Kolgradd is frightened 2 1 immediately before the attack. He technically also becomes slowed and takes a Speed penalty, but the frightened will go away at the end of the turn anyway, so it’s a moot point. Two hits.
The strange swarm of humanoids seem to bundle closer—more so than they already are—then pounces forward in a veritable tsunami of limbs and bodies! ◆◆ Mob Rush: it Strides twice then uses its swarm attack, ignoring difficult terrain. If it moves at least 20 feet away from its starting position, the DC of its swarm attack increases by 2.
The mob disturbingly squishes together as it swarms over Jevar, Boodiddly, and Shohreh, somehow managing to not lose any of its constituents over the side of the balcony as they seem to clamber over each other and pushing one another in an attempt to stay on! The swarm then claws at the former-amnesiacs in a Frantic Grasp! Once from its Mob Rush, then it does a second ◆ Frantic Grasp as an action.
