While she expected it to happen, Ingrid was still surprised that the man was dumb enough to attack them. Seeing the weapon go up, she lashed out, catching him on the arm with a clawed hand.

Please check the map, Brogol is up front so you don't have melee range on Lacall.

Using the roll of a 2

While she expected it to happen, Ingrid was still surprised that the man was dumb enough to attack them. Seeing the weapon go up, she yelled "Watch out!" as she tried to pull Brogol back and away from the blow...

Assuming you're aiding to improve AC.

"Oh you pious fool." Karik sneers. "You can grovel before us now."

Vaelor moves forward unwrapping her chain and sends it flicking out towards the man's mace

Unable to reach the man due to the choke point, Ingrid instead said "Let's see whose' God is stronger. Asmodeus? Show us yer will."

With that she held out her mace, engraved with the sign of her deity, and let go. The weapon shot out from her hand, and flew straight towards the offending cleric.

Hand of Acolyte: 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 6 - 4 = 22

With a twist of his arm, Brogol's bladed scarf unwinds, its blades glinting in the dim light spilling from the narthex. Brogol lashes out with the scarf and wraps it around Lacall's legs. Tugging, Brogol pulls Allamar's feet out from under him, and then while the boy lays prostrate on the ground, Brogol ducks through the doorway.

"Told yer we're coming in, knumbskull. Surrender now and ye'll keep yer head."

trip: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Move action draw weapon. Standard action trip. If Brogol can, he'll take a 5' step through the doorway on the diagonal. I've moved the token, but will move it back if that's not kosher.

!!!

For all his iron will and determination, Lacall is not at all ready for the mace flying at his skull. His attempt to duck only more cleanly exposes his temple to the weightiest part of the weapon. It knocks his head clean back and he crumples to the ground. From the way his forehead is slightly dented, he probably won't be coming back up any time soon.

Combat Over!

As soon as there's a moment of silence, an anxious male voice calls out from the east between the slightly ajar doors "Lacall? Lacall?"

The church's narthex is lit by the flickering flames of Lacall's fallen lantern. The space is large and airy, and a number of symbols of Iomedae decorate the walls in between the stained glass windows. A small door heads north to the priestess' office, while the doors to the east lead into the church's main sanctuary.

You have a few moments here to act before something else happens.

While they wait for more to happen, Eris casts shield of faith on herself.

"Do you think this will upset the rest of them? Hehe," she whispers.

The mace flew back to Ingrid’s hands and she said ”It was Asmodeus’ will. It doesn’t matter what they think.” She then bent down and tapped the mace to the lad’s chest. ”He’s still more useful to us alive than dead...”

Stabilize

While Ingrid stabilizes Lacall, Brogol grabs the man by the feet and backs out the doorway of the narthex, dragging the unconscious man with him, and flips him over the side of the stairs, before stepping back through the doorway, letting the Narthex door slide closed behind him.

Lacall thumps quietly into the dirt beside the stairs, but at least he seems to be stable. Once back inside, Brogol sees the eastern door has been opened further. Floating just beyond the aperture is an unusual creature. At first glance, it seems to be little more than a statue of a cherubic angel, complete with broad stone wings and a bow and arrow. However, the moment it raises its bow to aim at Brogol, its true nature as a threat is obvious.

Snarling, Brogol charges the angel, whipping his bladed scarf around his head as he moves. The scarf snakes out and around the cherub's bow, and Brogol gives it strong tug, hoping to send it clattering to the ground.

"Out of my head then, fooker!"

disarm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Brogol will stand at the other door if possible, opening up a melee lane for someone else. If not, he'll move into the space directly west of the angel.

Brogol deftly removes the bow from the cherubic angel's grasp. It falls with a surprising thud. It falls into its square

Vaelor rushes in and swings her chain furiously at the stone creature.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 = 12

Karik follows at a more leisurely pace.

"What the hell is that fat thing?"

The northern of the two doors leading into the sanctuary swings open to reveal the second of the two Allamar brothers, Loran. His countenance is grim, his eyes revealing how shaken he is by the situation. He raises his mace up and swiftly brings it down at Brogol's shoulder, but Brogol is able to dodge to the side.

The angel flaps carefully away and picks up its bow. It aims at Vaelor and fires, perfectly sinking an arrow between the kyton eidolon's eyes. (Critical hit for 18 damage) Its wings start to shine with a golden light that bolsters Loran's determination.

A shimmering wolf lopes in from the north, circling around to get behind Brogol (Provokes from Vaelor and Brogol in the process) before attempting to bite at the rogue from a flanking position. Teeth sink into his right calf and the wolf immediately tries to tug him off his feet. Luckily, it only succeeds at tearing at the muscle (If the AoOs didn't kill it, it'll deal 6 dmg to Brogol)

Tileavia Allamar advances from the northern side of the sanctuary, her shield glowing with light. She turns her head slightly northward and says "Stay back, all of you! We'll keep you all safe." To Brogol and Vaelor she announces "The days of your baron's tyranny over this town are numbered. The revolution comes to liberate us all, but you won't be there to see it. Your own free reign to terrorize the populace ends tonight." She gestures with her free hand, casting a spell. A glowing longsword of force manifests directly southeast of Brogol and swings in at him, slicing his side (Dealing 9 dmg)

Brogol spies the wolf just in time; he spins his scarf and whips it towards the charging animal, a look of confusion crossing his face, the driver's mind slowly catching up the situation even as his weapon flies towards the beast.

"Ambush!"

Hearing the unmistakable sounds of treason, Ingrid ran into the temple and seeing a celestial wolf, dragged her claws against it’s flank.

Eris enters the room, her eyes laughing at the chaos of the situation.

"I'm afraid you're all under arrest for harboring an unlikely menagerie of wild critters. You're not zoned for this! Hahaha!" she cackles, and madness emanates from the cleric.

Eris' wave of maddening influence washes over the three remaining combatants. Loran's eyes grow unfocused, but the other two stand strong despite the negative energy.

-4 to each of the above for shooting into combat

Unable to get through the doorway due to Brogol fighting the traitor at the choke point, Ingrid raised a clawed hand and made her mace float into the air. Channeling the power of Asmodeus, she caused the weapon to fly towards the man who dared stand in the way of law and order.

Noting the muddled look in Loran's eyes, and having experienced Eris' madness himself, Brogol slips into the room, trying to stay out of the reach of Loran and the angel. He spins around them both, ending near to the elder Allamar, and waits for Vaelor to approach the angel before lashes out with his scarf.

"Push through, Vaelor! Flank the angel!"

Assuming that Brogol won't draw an AoO from the bow-wielding angel (hope I'm right!). Not sure about how confusion interacts with AoOs, but I suspect they are still in play, so Brogol will use acrobatics to move 15': 5' southeast and then 10' through the angel's space. Then he'll ready an attack for when Vaelor flanks, hopefully being able to take advantage of sneak attack.

acrobatics, inspiration: 1d20 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 4 + (4) = 10 Blerg...
readied attack, risky strike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 +2 if flank

sneak attack damage on the angel if applicable: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Moving ahead. Karik, you can double up next turn on actions. I'll do my best to parse what actions you take. Note that when you're doubled up on actions due to not posting, your actions all happen on the new round (we don't try to say they happen retroactively).
@Ingrid - we're still in your first round of actions, so I'll take your Round 1 attack. In the future, you don't need to keep your rolls from previous rounds, just roll again.
@Brogol - confusion stops creatures from AoO-ing people they're not already attacking
-

The angel, rather than floating away to fire its bow, suddenly transforms, its stony face becoming an eagle's visage. It opens its new beak and emits an ear-piercing screech! Each of the three villains closest to the angel are struck by a blast of sonic energy.

Brogol Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12 (5 dmg and dazed 1 rd)
Ingrid Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15 (2 dmg)
Vaelor Fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 (2 dmg)

In his confusion, Loran turns and swings at the eagle-headed angel, his blow striking true but doing very little damage to the angel. Meanwhile, Tileavia casts a spell targeting Ingrid.

Ingrid Will: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Ingrid shrugs off the mental magic after a little difficulty.
The spiritual longsword hovers in Brogol's square and attempts to skewer him, but only scratches his armor.

Now that Brogol is in the room, he can see that six local townspeople are up on the church's dias, behind the pulpit. They seem currently caught in a mix of panic and anger as they watch the proceedings.

@Brogol Did you move to the other side of the angel to flank or are you waiting on Vaelor to do that.

After getting into a good position Vaelor rains blows from her chain down on the angelic creature.

Chain Power Attack with flank? round 1: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 = 24

Chain Power Attack damage round 1: 2d4 + 9 ⇒ (4, 1) + 9 = 14

Chain Power Attack damage round 2: 2d4 + 9 ⇒ (2, 3) + 9 = 14

Karik puts his hand into his material pouch and pricks his finger on the jagged end of a length of fine chain. Running the chain through his fingers and covering it in a fine layer of fresh blood he speaks the arcane words and summons Barbed Chains from below the ground to slash at Tileavia Allamar

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

With a sigh he also touches the small of Vaelor's back and her wounds close slightly and her form solidifies.

Lesser Rejuvenate Eidolon: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

With no way in to the other room, and with throwing her mace being nearly impossible, all Ingrid could do was hold her ground. ”Brogol, stop fighting them on their own terms. Fall back so yer not surrounded.”

Karik, Brogol intended to go around, but I think got stopped trying to move through the Angel's space.

A rivulet of blood runs from Brogol's nose, the man stands slack-jawed, staring at the angel, his gaze unfocused and distant. "Errrrr..."

Ingrid, not sure what you mean - you've got an enemy 5-ft away from you with an open door in between. I'll hold off on ending the round or skipping you because you've got a really good shot of clearing an enemy off the board.
Botting Eris:
Eris sends out another wave of madness from her father's skull.
Channel Negative; DC13: 2d3 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

Karik's barbed chain only slightly pricks Tileavia, but the foul nature of the chains demoralizes the priestess. 1d4 ⇒ 1 rounds. Karik also restores his eidolon.

While Brogol sways in a daze, Eris releases another wave of maddening energy. Although Loran and the angel both seem to stand firm against the attack this time, the shaken priestess succumbs!

Finally able to reach an enemy, Ingrid attacked in a frenzy of claws and bites. It was far removed from the sanctity of their chosen battlefield.

Not sure why you're seeing something different. Maybe something about the device you're using? I've moved you 5-ft eastward to be adjacent to Loran in any case.

The angel flaps slightly away from Brogol, glistening tears dropping from its beady bird eyes. It aims its bow at Ingrid and fires. The shot grazes her. (dealing 2 dmg) Meanwhile, Tileavia fights through the confusion. She watches her son fall with pain in her eyes, but she manages to steel herself well enough to shout "All of you, flee! Those at the Fort will protect you!" to the townsfolk at the northern end of the room.

She draws her longsword and advances upon Brogol. Her blow lands upon his shoulder, cutting another gash to add to those her spiritual weapon has already dealt. (Dealing 6 dmg) Luckily, the spiritual longsword isn't able to add to his injuries this round.

The townsfolk waver, unsure of what exactly to do.

Blinking, Brogol focuses again, his rage mixing with panic as Tilvia's longsword deals Brogol a grievous wound and his vision begins to tunnel. Scrambling over the nearby pew, Brogol flips his scarf at the priestess's neck. Tugging, the priestess's blood sprays across the closest pew and Brogol yells, his adrenaline-charged voice echoing around the church's chamber.

"Don't youse fooking go anywhere!"

attack, risky strike: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

If possible Brogol will 5' step to Allamar's north. Brogol's AC is 16 for the next round.

Can't 5-ft step over a pew. You could acrobatics over it if you'd like to avoid the AoO though.

I think Brogol won't risk the AoO. And that he'll put a rank or two in acrobatics next level :) I've moved his token 5' north instead.

Brogol's scarf slices the jugular, creating a brief and gruesome spray before Tileavia Allamar collapses to the church's cold stone floors. The townsfolk watching let out screams and gasps, their panic building.

"By the authority of the baron I am telling you to stay right here. And if you move an inch I will hunt you down quickly, then kill you slowly."

Karik strolls leisurely after Vaelor

"Don't worry Vaelor my dear. I'm sure all these kind folk are going to stay perfectly still until I say otherwise. I know they can work out what will happen if they don't"

He gives a broad smile that does nothing to give a sense of kindness or safety. He runs his tongue across his exposed fangs for a moment.

”For Asmodeus!” Ingrid called out as she ran into the room, slashing a claw at the angelic figure.

Eris; Vision of Madness: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Ingrid claws at the angel, landing a deep scratch on its body. Her claws don't seem as effective as she's used to. Eris rushes up and successfully imparts visions of her madness upon the angel (-2 penalty to attacks and saves, +2 to skills). The angel floats back and transforms its head once more, this time into an ox's sturdy visage. It fires its bow down at Eris, connecting with the arrow (4 dmg)

Meanwhile, the crowd of townsfolk raise their voices further, raising clubs as well "Freedom for Longacre! Justice for the Allamars!" They mob Vaelor, bludgeoning her with their clubs even after she falls to lie still upon the floor. (13 dmg)

Vaelor AoO: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 Damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 6 = 10

She does manage to injure one of them as they approach. Two of the rioters choose to flee instead, ducking behind the curtains and into the back room.

Ingrid stepped forward and with her left hand slashed at the Angel. It easily side stepped the attack. This allowed her to grab it with her right hand, and then pull it in close as she sunk her teeth into it’s shoulder.

Brogol sprints down the isle between the pews, gripping his blood-soaked chain. Mertyl Finnegan, Dannik Colbertson, Elsiasia Lenft... all folks that Brogol knew for years, and if they had their way, they'd kill him dead. He'd need to do them first, but even before that, this damned angel needed to go. Stepping across from Ingrid on the other side of the angel, Brogol lashes out with his scarf, putting as much force behind the attack as he can muster.

Move 20' to north of the angel, to flank. Standard: attack!

attack, risky strike, flank: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 - 1 + 2 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Ingrid's claw and bite tear into the angel's tough body, dealing the final injuries needed to take it down. It falls limp, sinking slowly to the ground.

Brogol will move through Karik's space, and use the roll above.

Will bot Karik for this fight, but then have him play a background role for a bit while his player takes a break.

Karik, somewhat out of options, attempts a charm person to get one of the townsfolk to back off from Vaelor and "Save themselves". Despite the distractions of combat, his charm takes hold and the yellow rioter drops her weapon and backs off, disappearing behind the curtain to the back room. Eris advances as well, though her armor leaves her only able to move this round.

The two remaining rioters run at Brogol, yelling obscenities about his devil loving inclinations. Although he's able to parry one of the two, Mertyl's swing impacts his skull and he's knocked unconscious. (Dealing 6 dmg)

Leaving what was left of the angel lying on the floor, Ingrid took off running towards the rioters. The gore drenched dwarf wasn't able to launch her attack just yet. But if the men were dumb enough to keep fighting, then their reprieve from death wouldn't last long.

double move

Brogol turns his head in time to see Mertyl's club arcing directly at Brogol's forehead. Mertyl, busybody, gossip, always wrapped in religion, a little smelly. Few folks in Longacher stepped on Brogol's nerves quite as much as old Mertyl. Brogol's eyes widen, he grimaces in anticipation of the pain to come, one last thought crossing his mind. Godsdammnit, Mertyl, always knew you'd be the end of me!
