Once able to take to the air Marcus cautiously closes with the enormous skeleton.
Combat Expertise, fighting defensively: AC 45/T 30/FF 29
A fresh cut appears as he uses Tally's distraction to target a key point.
Masochism

Marcus ducks the sweep of the Tzitzimitl's jaws, his thoroughly enchanted lash flaying away a layer of stone!
Bite: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (14) + 26 = 40
Damage + Electricity: 2d8 + 14 + 3d6 ⇒ (4, 4) + 14 + (6, 5, 3) = 36
The Nemhains rise to answer Agata's challenge. Unafraid of the Hypnales' fangs they send their spirits through her wards to tear away at her life!
Yellow Touch vs. Agata (Unfortunate): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 231d20 + 21 ⇒ (8) + 21 = 29
Touch vs. Agata: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (11) + 21 = 32
Exactly what the touch is will depend on how the first spell goes. If Agata passes, it will be another Harm, if she fails it will be Slay Living
Slay Living Passed Save: 3d6 + 15 ⇒ (6, 2, 2) + 15 = 25
Slay Living Failed Save Extra damage: 9d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 2, 4, 1, 5, 2, 2, 1) = 22

Will, tattoo: 1d20 + 19 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 19 + 1 = 30 Pass. Agata takes 75 damage. If her Deathless Haramaki applies, then this would be reduced to 65 damage. Rules-wise, this seems a little ambiguous to me: Harm says "Harm charges a subject with negative energy that deals 10 points of damage per caster level" but does not specifically call out the damage as being negative energy. Deathless says "This armor protects its wearer from harmful negative and positive energy, including channeled energy. The armor absorbs the first 10 points of positive or negative energy damage per attack that the wearer would normally take." I think I would say that it applies but I defer to the GM's ruling. Presuming that it does apply, Agata takes 65 dmg, 17 of which are absorbed by her temp hp from False Life, leaving her at 81 hp (out of 129 max).
Will vs second touch, tattoo: 1d20 + 19 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 19 + 1 = 21
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (7) + 32 = 39
Presuming that this Spellcraft is high enough that Agata "knows" that the attack is Harm, I *won't* use my GM reroll, since the spell can't reduce her below 1 hp anyway.
Agata takes 150 points of damage from the second Harm, but since the spell can't reduce the target below 1 hp, she is left at 1/129 hp.
So, we have a Heroic Burst of Healing Aid Token that will heal everyone 10d6. Should we use it now? (Or, actually, going to suggest using it just before the Tzitzimitl takes its next turn, since some of us may yet take more damage from AoO's on our turns). On the other hand, if Agata is still alive after the Tzitzimitl's next turn, she'll probably cast Heal on herself anyway, which will take her back to full regardless of whether or not we use the Burst of Healing, so it probably depends on whether or not the rest of the party feels like it's a good time for it.
Agata reels from the twin attacks of the monstrous spirit. "Hey, ye! Ain't ye see this here invisible shell? It's t' keep the like o' ye out!"

Well now. I’m not sure that the word ‘fortunate’ could be used to describe those rolls.
Tally moves to make an opportune strike against the giant skeleton but a thought flashes through her mind, distracting her.
Where did this thing get it’s giant hat? Did it make it or did it find a gigantic hat shop? Is it a normal sized shop that sells big things or a shop made for giant undead?
She snaps out her train of thought and a tried to think of her next plan of attack. Constantly fighting outside of her weigh class once again forces her to think creatively and her mind flashes back to a fight with a giant robot years before. She springs into action, climbing up the creature’s face and diving into its oversized eye socket, blinding it!
“Oh my god it smells like a hospital made of old gym socks and rotten meat in here!”
Fortunate Dirty Trick: 1d20 + 2 - 2 + 6 + 23 ⇒ (20) + 2 - 2 + 6 + 23 = 49

What a turn around! So I guess that crit means it works, it’s a standard action to remove the condition early.

Tally, reminder that Fortune lets you roll twice and take the better result on ONE d20 roll per round, not every d20 roll. Though if the AoO occurred off your turn and the Dirty Trick on your turn, that still works.
Agata
|
Re using the Aid Token for healing, I think it really depends on whether Arillia and Tally want it. Agata will still likely use Heal on herself on her turn, since even with the Aid Token she's likely still down far enough that another try at Harm/Slay Living will kill her. And the Nemhains appear to have at least Harm at will.
| Summmoned Hypnalis |
The remaining Hypnaleses fly up to blue to continue to bite at it.

Thanks for the reminder Agata and I agree on popping the aid token. My first roll of my dirty trick maneuver was the natural 20 so thankfully I didn’t mess that up too much.

With a wave of his hand Zadeh conjures yet more allies to support the group. The Hypnales vanish and in turn are replaced by a group of slightly glowing elves!
Summoning 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 Axiomites
Addressing them in infernal he calls out instructions to them!
You, Haste the rest of you!
You, Haste my two allies fighting the big monster.
You, get down there and lightning bolt that evil spirit, it is being troublesome.
You, there is a second evil spirit luking in the rocks below us, when it appears lightning bolt it! Try not to catch any of us n it!
He then flies forward into Agatas anti incorporeal shell.
| Summoned Axiomite |
The group of glowing elves appear and promptly start casting spells. The first hastes all of its fellow allies and then transforrms itself into a pillar of swirling letters, symbols and formulae. The second hastes Tally and Marcus and also transforms itself. The third transforms itself, flies down and blasts the blue nemhain. The last seems to be waiting for something.

The Axiomite's bolt of lightning pierces through the Nemhain, finally freeing the trapped souls that surrounded it!
Reeling from an abrupt case of 'hafling-in-the-eye' and a hail of punishing arrows, the Tzitzimitl dives off the cliff's edge, splashing down into the river of blood to soak its wounds (and Tally) in the energies of unlife.
It's skull rises to stare blindly at the withered elf whose abjuration is keeping the worst of its minions strikes at bay, and the sockets glow in a tell-tale warning. Tally is able to scramble out of the way of the glowing beam as it lances out to strike Agata full-on in the chest!

Agata

Whelp... Serves me right for trying to save the Aid Token until more of us would need it...
Using a chronicle boon as an immediate action:
"As an immediate action when you are reduced to fewer than 0 hp, you gain a number of temporary hp equal to 2d10 + your character level that last for 3 rounds. During these 3 rounds, you are confused as per the confusion spell. Each round, you may attempt a DC 18 Will save to remove the condition. At the end of 3 rounds or when you successfully save against the confusion effect, all remaining temporary hp are lost and you resume dying if your hp total remains below 0. Once you have used this boon, cross it off the chronicle sheet."
temp hp for Agata: 2d10 + 16 ⇒ (7, 2) + 16 = 25
By my understanding, the immediate action interrupts the resolution of the Tzimitl's attack, causing all 25 of the temporary hp to be used up by the attack, and leaving Agata at 0 hp, disabled but not unconscious, and confused. GM, is this also how you interpret it?
If that's correct, Agata doesn't fall (she shouldn't have fallen in any case, since she was flying from Overland Flight, which would still gently lower her to the ground even if she had died.)
Assuming that Agata is still conscious and therefore gets her turn as normal:
Will DC 18: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (5) + 19 = 24 The confused condition is removed. Agata would lose all of her temp hp if she still had any, but they are all gone.
Standard action: cast Heal on herself, healing her for 150, restoring her to full hp of 129. Move action to cackle to extend her hexes by another round.
"Ouch, me lumbago is actin' up again! I'm too ole for this adventurin', I tell ye that much, 'n I ain't lyin'!"

"Let's end this," Arillia growled as the undead continued their onslaught. She allowed the Nemhain's spell to pass by her and Agata paid the price. These creatures were resistant to many of her attacks, but perhaps her most basic spells would see results.

Empowered Magic Missile vs Nemhain: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 2, 3) + 5 = 16 - +50%, to 24 total
Spell Penetration: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (18) + 20 = 38
Quickened Magic Missile vs Nemhain: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 4, 4) + 5 = 19
| GM Cwethan |
The fly spell protects you against the duration ending or being dispelled, but I'm not aware of it inherently protecting you against falling unconscious - but luckily the rest of it works just as planned so it's moot!
Arillia, you currently don't have LOE to the surviving Nemhain since it's in a wall.

Zadeh notices that there is quite a lot of green goop pouring out of Agata's ear. The old crone "whispers" back, "Dyin'? Oh no, that ain't in my plans, not today anyhoo. Or p'raps I should say 'After ye!'"
It is difficult to concentrate on what she says, however, for her breath smells as if she has never brushed her teeth in all her long elven life. If not for the aura of purity that surrounds them, Zadeh might well begin to retch.

Swinging twice, maybe they will hit with the blind penalties it has. Free sneak attack at least. If the Fort Save is from an inhaled poison or toxin I am immune, but I think it’s from gross river water. I want to see what the result of my Fort Save is before I take my turn.

Agata once again uses her wand of Heightened Awareness. She also casts Extended Long Arm on herself (32 minutes duration) and Blend on herself (160 minutes duration). Also, just before going through the doors (presuming Marcus is able to disarm them), she again activates her Aura of Purity (1 minute).
Are Tally's 2 negative levels permanent or temporary? Agata has one more scroll of restoration (100 gp version) if needed.

Looks like Agata cast it on you but did not extend it, so it would have worn off unless you had your own Extend rod (a very worthwhile item, by the way, since the lesser version is only 3k gp).

Thanks for the legwork Agata :-)
Tally's 2 most recent negative levels are temporary.
Marcus carefully approaches with eyes lowered, working gingerly to disrupt the delicate framework of the arcane sigil without letting the energies within it run amok!

In the northeastern corner of the room you find a small locked coffer of unadorned steel. Anything but a one to open, and since you can try again...
Within the coffer is a 6-inch-tall statue of a halfling holding a shortsword with three notches cut into the blade. You're able to quickly identify it as a representation of Chaldira Zuzaristan, a halfling god of battle, luck, and mischief. While it will take further study to uncover its full potential, the overwhelming aura of the statue shows that it will be a powerful tool indeed!
Your moment of triumph is short lived however, Agata and Zadeh catching on to a faint, nearly subsonic rumble... Trouble!

Zadeh will have renewed invisibility, shield and his mirror image wand. The axiomites remain incorpreal and on guard
Images: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Tally, I have a restoration scroll you are welcome to the benefit of.
Whats that rumbling noise asks Zadeh, looking around. He sighs, More trouble, mutters something and then falls quiet.
Casting greater invisibility on myself, I remain 5' in the air.

While waiting for Marcus to do his work, Arillia uses her Wand of Infernal Healing on herself.
Only assuming one use/10 hp back, so Arillia would start this down 10 hp. She will also cast False Life. She's having to use 3rd level slots for those now.
False Life, Empowered by rod: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 - so 27 temp hp
Arillia's buffs other than Haste would all still be up, so no need to recast anything early. It doesn't look like Arillia will get a chance to do anything between the approach of enemies becoming apparent and their turn.
I did another pass on Arillia's spell usage since the last update before the demons. Her current spell slots available are: 1/0/1/5/3/1/1. She has both of her fire breaths remaining, so hopefully those will prove to be of some use.

**OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT**
Pathfinders! Thanks to your efforts, the Whispering Tyrant’s ritual is starting to falter. Necromantic energy from throughout Gallowspire is draining to the Pillar in an attempt to maintain the ritual, and you’re still gaining ground.
The Ritual Disturbed condition on page 27 is in effect.
| GM Cwethan |
Without even a whisper, shadowy figures slide out from the walls, moving with an erratic grace as if lit by an unseen, flickering flame.
One of them tries in vain to reach Gaétan through Agata's shield, then another flickers past the doorway closest to her, disappearing into another wall without a sound, a third streaks across the room, passing through one of the doorways that was still warded...
A pulse of deathly energy ripples out, striking the Axiomite closest to the door!
Trigger?: 1d100 ⇒ 64
Incorporeal Bypass? (Green): 1d100 ⇒ 65
Round 1* - Surprise!
It's been a minute since the last fight/buffs.

Agata

Knowledge anything to have an idea about the Mysterious Rumbles? And are any of the Greater Shadows currently targetable?
| GM Cwethan |
Orange isn't currently targetable. Yellow and Red are as placed (So, you don't have LOS to Yellow right now, but could plausibly acquire it)
The rumble is just the sound of something moving... probably something burrowing?
Agata
|
Not having much to do to the single Shadow she can see, Agata pauses for a moment, sighing: "In the ole days, this woulda been jes' the time fer teatime. But Sweet Mawd ain't here, nor ain't the tea."
On delay
GM, are the symbols marked on the map still there? Or have they been disabled by Marcus?
| GM Cwethan |
Marcus got you a way in, but it turned out that there were symbols on **every** door into this room
The rumble breaks apart as the floor of the cave splits open and Zadeh's axiomites begin their report in unison.
"It comes. Something has broken through the floor, but all we can see is darkness." An arctic storm of frigid wind sweeps in through the door, catching two of them in the sweep of the cone of cold!
Cold Damage: 15d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 6, 2, 5, 2, 2, 5, 2, 2, 4, 4, 3, 4, 6) = 58
Shadow Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Agata: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (9) + 31 = 401d20 + 31 ⇒ (10) + 31 = 41 Roll twice; +2 v. Undead
They have the normal undead immunities, and are also immune to cold, and resistant to spells.
Round 1*/1 - Surprise!
Still hard to light.

Agata

Agata flies over to see what new trouble has arisen.
Coming off delay, but only single move action due to surprise. I'm not sure where that puts me in the initiative order...
Presuming that her ring with Continual Flame (level 6, caster level 11) is sufficient to see, and that she has line of sight from the new location I've moved her to...
"Oh dearie me, dearie me...Really...?"
If the GM says that Agata can see the creature go ahead and look at the spoiler for the creature. Also, GM, btw, Agata's Knowledge checks are currently +2 higher from the luck bonus & fate's favored, fyi.
| GM Cwethan |
Illumination radii are still halved, so Agata's not close enough for her spell to pierce the darkness
| Summoned Axiomite |
Fort, green: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Reflex, green: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Reflex, red: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Green vanishes, withering away to dust. Red takes the full brunt, halved due to being incorporeal and then regenerates 5 back.
Between them the axiomites cast Haste on everyone except Zadeh who they cannot see.

Zadeh dislikes the very concept of greater shadows and reacts by conjuring more killer snakes!

Startled by the Shadow in front of him, Gaétan shoots at it with his normal arrows.
