can you please fill out your sheet it's pretty blank equipment skills saves etc
waiting on Adulese, but you're basically in. It's a matter of TIME now before the creature gets in.
Dr. Zephyrus way to nail the DD check!
I'll progress
- - - -
the building is basically a medieval church and you're close to the nave - where the congregation sits.
I assumed you entered the main double doors to escape the reaver!
map is on slide 3 - place yourselves inside please. Nave is "north of central area "north" from bottom with double doors
The stones of this temple are strong but show their age. Without
clerics and masons to tend to the Bastion in over a decade, some
sections have begun to crumble. Masonry has piled on the floor,
older oak timbers are blackened from fire and mold and the
rotten, and the sweet smell of decay hangs in the still air. The
remains of prayer books and broken pews litter the floor, partially
obscuring a great mosaic of Sarenrae and her servants. At the
head of the chamber, a circular stained-glass window depicts a
golden rose blooming within a rising sun.
The ranger and the alchemist work together to disable a large pit trap in the "bottom" of the nave as you leave the double doors. The party thinks that it was "built" to trap the reaver.
Tessaviri finds a pit trap "north of the double doors and the Dr. disables it. There's no doors to the "side rooms" on the bottom of the map FROM the areas to the left and right WHEN you first enter. If that makes sense. You have to center the nave, to get to the side rooms. If the map isn't clear.
DC 20 Perception:
you notice a makeshift muzzle and collar anchored by cables to the ceiling.
hope that all was OK and makes sense?(wanted to keep the game moving) where to?

"Take care to preserve the ruins as much as you can. This is a holy place," Tessaviri says as she scans the area. As she does, she points up toward the ceiling.
"There's some sort of contraption there. A muzzle and collar? Was someone trying to tame the Reaver?"
Absent other directions, I'll vote to search the remainder of this room quickly and then go through the door on the right (east I think).
GM, we were told earlier that we should seek out ritual and relic sites so that we could sever the Red Reaver's connection with them. Do we just need to make Perception (maybe Knowledge (Religion)?) checks to recognize such sites, or is another process needed?

No strong preference about which way to go. I think searching is a good idea

Narayan nods gravely at Tessaviri's admonition, and prepares himself in case the Reaver breaks through too soon, using a couple of quick taps of his wands and swigging a potion that sets strange swirling tattoos alight all along his scaly form.

We're in the big main room, yeah, but currently the slides are set to view only - I'll toss up a pawn once that's been changed :-)
@Tessaviri -yes, you're able to find relics but you don't see any in THIS room
fixed the slides so you can edit. moved you to the "bottom" right
As you move closer to the door in the "lower" right you hear guttural talking behind the door crack.
no one recognizes what the talking is
The door to the room stands partially open. Inside the room stand
a number of shelves and bookcases, many bearing old scorch
marks and the blackened remains of old leather-bound books.
Scrolls and papers, some little more than decayed piles of ash, lie
strewn across the floor.
Tessaviri motions to her allies and approaches them to whisper. "Someone else is here. The Reaver wouldn't tolerate interlopers for long, so I'd guess that some of the orcs survived and made it inside. We have a powerful enough enemy already: perhaps we should arrange a truce between us? We don't even know what the orcs are here for, and they haven't attacked the town."
Tessaviri is not a good talker. Does anyone know orc or have the ability to get Tongues going? If not, we'll probably just have to hope they can speak Taldane or something.

Unable to understand any of the words but sensing the orc's disdain, Karogo stands beside his master and utters a low growl. Tessaviri puts a hand on his flank to calm the wolf, and otherwise allows Sayna space to work with them.

I took some liberties with the map, copying it to slide 4, enlarging it, moving the minis (hopefully to the right spots) and giving the orcs color borders. If that's alright with our GM, I suggest we use the slide 4 map. The slide 3 map scale is hard to work with.
Tessaviri moves behind Karogo and gives the large wolf an order, then casts Divine Favor on him.
Then Karogo bounds forward, squeezing into the door frame to bite at one of the orcs before running back to his position. Attacking yellow orc with Spring Attack. Green orc will get an opportunity attack on Karogo (AC 38 with Mobility).

Heedless of the foe, Narayan settles into a broad stance of hooked fingers and ready jaws, then hurtles into the room, fists and feet flying as he remonstrates with the orcs! In common, so probably they won't get it :-p
"Thiss battle will show
at leasst. There's more to be won
by attempting peacce."
*Hereafter MLGCIS.
Just since the first time Narayan full attacks is often... complicated, here's a rundown. (Though not this time as much since they're all flat-footed!)
That's him using Flurry of Blows and the Flying kick Style Strike, which allows him to move up to 30' during his full attack.
He will usually use the Enforcer feat to make intimidate checks when dealing nonlethal damage, which he will do except against undead and constructs or other things he's been told are immune to that.
If he hits a shaken target he makes them flat-footed with Shatter Defenses.
At that point his Medusa's Wrath feat kicks in, and he gets to make an extra two attacks in his full attack against flat-footed or stunned targets.

Everyone remember the various goodies I passed out earlier!
"Eating me, on this occasion, might have been the stupidest decision you'd ever hoped to make," Breathes the emaciated, discolored Elf (who admittedly might not have been the Elf they had in mind), "had you not immediately thereafter made an even STUPIDER choice...!"
With that, Dr. Vitruvian reaches into a section of his big black bag you hadn't before seen him delve into, and from it he pulls a fist-sized glass sphere; though frosted over (and from the inside, somehow), you can make out what appear to be shreds of frozen pulped meat, floating in some sort of heavy vinaceous liquid, among its contents. He pitches it toward one of the orcs by the far side of the wall...
In the event I somehow don't manage a direct hit with the above:
folio reroll!:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
cold damage:4d4 + 8 ⇒ (2, 2, 1, 2) + 8 = 15In addition, Red-and-Dead must make a DC 22 Fortitude save or be staggered on his next turn, the Blue Meanie to his upper-right takes 12 cold splash damage (or half if he makes a DC 22 Reflex save)...
...and when it breaks open against the poor sod, the acute blast of cryogenic gas is but the beginning of the Orcs' woes, for it billows into a terrible cloud of vile pestilence, working days' worth of medical malice in mere seconds on those caught within (save, thankfully, for the ritually-purified Monk)!
...and ALL the Orcs must now make a DC 22 Fortitude save or contract and immediately suffer the onset of typhoid fever! AHHH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!
Those who fail their saves are sickened, and suffer: Strength damage:1d4 ⇒ 2 Constitution damage:1d4 ⇒ 2

"If you were going to throw around clouds of evil doom, you could have said something earlier," Tessaviri grumbles at Dr. Vitruvian as she begins casting another spell.
She casts Life Bubble on Karogo, holding the remaining charges to give out to her other companions later and commands Karogo to continue attacking.

Narayan has mixed feelings at best at Zephyrus's use of biological weaponry, but elects to finish the fight now, and ask pointed questions later.
He plants his feet and begins to move, his movements flow, but aren't graceful, instead surging from moment to moment with a brutal simplicity.
Happy to just keep punching for now, but I really would appreciate a little more specificity on how my turns are resolved, especially since I regain ki points when I'm the one to drop a foe. So having a sense of how tough they are in that respect really helps me decide when to spend ki and when to hoard it.
Thanks!
Speaking of ki - if after Narayan and Adulese's attacks there are 2+ orcs standing, as a swift action Narayan will spend a ki to make this attack too

It still isn't clear to me if we can see into the cloud or not (and if it affects Sanya and Narayan, see discussion thread). If we can, I would have misfortuned the non-blind orc instead. Narayan is currently down 3 hp, and Maka and myself are each down 5, as life link has done its job.

If they aren’t actively fighting anymore, Ograk wouldn’t misfortune.
Ograk calls out, hoping they understand common,” Big monster outside, we didn’t want to fight, but we’ll finish it if you don’t stop. I can make glitter go out of your eyes if you give up and let me help.”
red doesn't seem to be interested in surrendering.
I can assume you finish him off to keep the game moving
The last orc drops his weapons and holds out his hands, palms out.
Orcish:
"Grunk don't want to fight. Big Monster outside eat most of scouting tribe. We come in here to see if place safe. Grunk see all orcs die by elf friends or big monster!"
"Is he saying anything besides his surrender, Sayna?" Tessaviri asks as she moves up and begins treating the wounds of any of the orcs that she can find alive. Stabilize mostly, but she has a take-10 of 26 on Heal.

Ograk looks at Tessaviri, I assume he be forsakin' his former comrades and swearing to help us fight the reaver? Or is still on about eating elf?
After the disease cloud dissipates. Ograk searches the room the orcs were in for any treasures, religious reliquaries, or anything that may help against a large angry beast that wants to eat the pathfinders. He thinks quiety to himself," I should of studied history more when I was in Absolom. Diseases against foes feels wrong, but then again, one way or the other the lady of the boneyard gets her due."
As Ograk searches, the wounds disappear from him. Unbeknownst to you, they appear on Maka, who fortunately is able to heal them over the following minute.
Still 3 damage on Narayan. If you'd like we can do something about that with your wand or just leave it.
