It is a failed update on my part that didn't get in from my character sheet. I do have it, as 13th level oracles have spells from Cure, Mystery, and Shadow Evocation coming from a mystery revelation, and 3 spells known that they add. Flame Strike and Spell Resistance are my two choice spells from level 12 and earlier, 13th gave me a 3rd 5th level spell, which I did not properly upload. I will update it.
Also, double checking, Breath of Life somehow got under my 6th level spell spoilers. Updated.
Source that Shadow Evocation doesn't count against my spells known.
Dark Secrets:
Dark Secrets (Su): You learn the hidden secrets surrounding the casting of shadow spells. You can add a number of spells from the sorcerer/wizard spell list equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1, maximum equal to half your oracle level) to your spell list and your list of spells known as divine spells. These have a spell level equal to their sorcerer/wizard spell level. You can add only illusion spells from the shadow subschool or spells with the darkness descriptor to your list of spells known in this manner. Each time you gain an oracle level after taking this revelation, you can choose to replace one of these spells for a new appropriate spell on the sorcerer/wizard spell list.

Otherwise, if you believe I don't have access to the spell, Emberwik will let have to let Lenny die and come up with a different plan. Apologies, but I did pull Emberwik out of a PBP module that finalized chronicles only a week before this started up.

Nope, that is fine
Emberwik pulls Lenny back from the brink! His unconscious body takes a slow, silent, lungful of air.
Lenny goes from -25 to 10HP but then gains another negative level from BoL taking him to 5HP. He has 7 unhealable nonlethal on him and so is unconscious but stable. At the start of his turn he takes 10 damage from life link and stats to die again!
Then, the purple side of Pillar begins to glow and swirl with multicoloured light, striking Roary and Brutus but both of them are fine.
Rolls:
Pillar:1d6 ⇒ 4
Will, Brutus:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35 Will, Roary:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18, +3 when raging, +9 morale vs spells, SLA's and SU when raging, heroism +2 morale

Free action to activate the boots of haste. Casting dimension door with my last 5th level slot. Not power attacking since Lenny is down and I am fatigued and have negative levels.
I'm going to try to use the Triumph Over Scales boon from 8-99B to gain a +10 Insight bonus on this confirmation roll. It works on Dragons and humanoids with the reptilian subtype, so it may not apply, but its worth a shot.

Looks like Fey Foundling was forgotten again, which gives me +2 healing per die. That means the Breath of Life brings me to 20 HP, then 15 HP after the neg level. Also I technically died there briefly so the Life Link is severed. So should be at 15 HP, with 7 nonlethal and conscious for my turn. Of course that also means I don't heal Roary or Sarek with Life Link this turn.
For my turn I will activate my Gift of the Ghaele boon to cast Restoration on myself, curing my negative levels (and restoring 50 very much needed HP!) and curing my Dex drain. I will then pick up my flag to inspire my allies for one last push. Then I will pray that you guys finish this thing this round!
Gift of the Ghaele from #4-19 Night March of Kalkamedes:
Sulianna the Luminescent, an azata whom you rescued owes you a debt nd has granted you a fraction of her power. You may use one of the following as a spell-like abiility once, using your character level as your caster level. After using this boon, cross it off of your Chronicle sheet.
Subtier 1-2: You may cast aid, detect thoughts, lesser restoration, or see invisibility. Subtier 4-5: You may instead cast continual flame, dispel magic, lesser globe of invulnerability, or restoration.
As Emberwik's healing magic flows through him, Lenny's body convulses and he immediately starts coughing up copious amounts of blood. Weakly he looks up at the shadowy, demonic-looking figure hovering over him. "Uh-oh. Iomedae heard about me eating the soul cookie, didn't he?"
"Wait. I'm not dead--" he's interrupted by more coughing, and as he opens his eyes again he sees the ominous shape of the dragon hovering over his friend's shoulder, "...but this may be hell."
With a heavy sigh he whispers a prayer to Iomedae and the azata he rescued long, long ago. Her magic washes over him, expelling the taint of dark energies and removing the stiffness from his limbs. Finally he looks to his side and sees the flag covered in his blood. Weakly, but with determination he reaches out and grabs it. As a last act of defiance against the forces of evil, still lying on the ground, he holds it aloft for his allies to see its magic cleanse away the blood and reveal the glyph of the open road.
He looks up at the dragon over head and spits, "Send that mother [expletive deleted] to hell."
will save in case it matters:1d20 + 22 - 10 ⇒ (6) + 22 - 10 = 18
As a dead body I dont think you have any feats so fey foundling would not work. You are however right about life link severing which would leave you on 5 with 7 nonlethal. Just as a note, Restoration has a 3 round casting time and I dont believe the boon reduces that.
Sarek reappears in the fray, landing a single blow. It fails to strike critically (its undead, not a dragon, you know this so save your boon) and he seems to do very little damage. Apparently the physical form of the dragon has significant DR.

A flurry of Pathfinders descends on the battlefield, darting between the undead. With medicine and magic, they repair your injuries. The Medic Mission was successful!
GMs, the Medic Mission Success condition on page 26 is in effect.
Technically this will provoke. I took the OA against Brutus when he moved in but this would come beforehand. I will be nice and leave the OA against Brutus. Sarek, Roary and Brutus gain the banner benefit but it doesnt change anything barring a few extra points of damage.
Daxter tries to break the ritual but it remains stubbornly intact!
Fail this time
Brutus tries to punch the undead dragon to death but its flesh and bones are as hard as stone and nothing seems to have any effect.
None of those attacks come even close to hitting I am afraid.
Just before the dragon acts a group of Pathfinders burst into the chamber and healing magic washes over the group!
The dragon flaps its wings and adjusts its position slightly before taking in a deep breath and disgorging a mass of negative energy over most of the group.
I need reflex saves from Lenny, Daxter and Roary. Emberwick is protected by his death ward. You may roll your own save, make sure its the first roll in your post. Remember to apply you negative levels. The rchons in the area just die, you monsters!
Damage is +5 magic slashing. Also does he gain his +2 hit from Blink with the dragon corporeal?[/ooc]
I missed these questions sorry, no, you gain no bonus to hit from Blink, it has blindsight against living creatures. You also dont penetrate its DR and it is DR/-

@Daxter, thanks!
@all, since this thing is really hard to hit (and hurt) in corporeal form, I just want to remind everyone that Lenny has shared the Outflank feat with all of you. You get +4 (instead of +2) when flanking, and crits on a flanked creature provoke AoOs for any allies flanking the same creature.
Sadly I don't think it would have triggered last round because I think that Brutus was doing full defense, but it may help this round.
@Sarek and Roary especially take note of your positioning on your turns. You look to be a 5' step away from flanking with each other and both of you have excellent threat ranges.
Then again with Battlefield Presence (my archetype feature that grants the team work feat) you have to be able to see and hear me and I have to be conscious, and that is looking rather unlikely again.
All three of you take the full brunt of the dragons breath although Roary's ring protects him from some of the damage.
Daxter and Lenny take 77 negative energy damage, Roary takes 38, all 3 of you gain another negative level. Lenny, I am not sure if this one kills you or not?

any chance my 5 THPs from the daxter’s archon’s last aid weren’t counted? If so then I think I’m alive by the skin of my teeth! Otherwise I will use my tattoo of the open road boon from my Welcome to pathfinder chronicle.
Let me know if you need the text of it (I’m on my phone right now), but the gist is I get 10 THPs and treat my Con as 10 higher for the next minute with respect to dying.
Pathfinders! Your valiant efforts in the Black Caverns have met with success! The holy relic of the goddess Chaldira Zuzaristan responds immediately to your presence, granting luck to the entire expedition!

Unfortunately Sarek I dont think you are benefitting from Outflank at the moment as you cannot see Lenny due to the debris field from the dragons hover feat but it doesnt actually change anything.
Sarek lands a single blow on the dragon but it barely seems to scratch its ancient bones!

I second that holy crap. I likewise have been pushed to my extreme limits. The first thing I need to do is clear these negative levels. I was dangerously close to being fully negative! I will pull out on of my scrolls of restoration and cast it on myself over the next 3 rounds. I will leave the ritual breaking to those of you with positive Int mods :P

"Excellent job, Roary. Lenny, I can't believe you are still standing."
Sarek will use his wand of lesser restoration, use Size Alteration to grow to large size, and use Sudden Insight for a bonus to his strength check to try to shove one of the ritual stones out of alignment.
Between the two of you a pair of ritual stones are shifted out of alignment. Combined with Daxter's work you finally disrupt the ritual .
At last, the ritual reaches a critical point. With the its anchoring stones disrupted and its guardians slain, the Pillar struggles in vain to stop its magic from collapsing. The Pillar trembles, and a psychic scream echoes through the minds of everyone within Gallowspire. The lasts wisps of magic drift away from the Pillar’s surface, filling the room with a quiet fog, and the taste of corruption fades from the air.
As the fog dissipates each of you receives a psychic message from the Pillar.
No, no, it cannot be, do not let all be lost, I implore you, accept my offer, take me with you, do not let the knowledge of eons be lost to dissolution. Save me!
I need to know who accepts the offer from the Pillar. To save time on questions no more information is available or on offer from the Pillar.

Brutus 154|154, death ward, 3 temp HP
Sarek 63|124, 7 unhealable nonlethal damage, 1 negative level, 7 temp HP

As Lenny stands on wobbly legs, he replies to Sarek, "I am just as surprised as you are! I kept seeing this bright light at the end of a tunnel, and Iomedae was there, and Mr. Whiskers my cat was there," Lenny rattled off the names of dozens more lost loved ones before finally continuing, "But then I heard Mr. Wik calling my name, saying that Mr. Kuthon needs me to suffer more." he shrugs, "So back I came!"
"Hey did you guys hear that voice? He wants me to save him. But it sounds kinda like that voice that told me that I was gonna die and there was no hope for me here when I first walked into this room. So I think it might be a bad guy." he declares as helpful insight.
"But I don't like to let things die, and Madam Yvette always says the answer should always be yes..." he says indecisively.
Unless somebody talks him out of it, I think I gotta go with yes. Lenny has no guile and doesn't really understand the concept of lying. He pretty much unquestioningly believes whatever he is told. He's been talked into plenty of Lissalan shenanigans in the past (with atonements as necessary), so in for a penny, in for a pound...

As a jeweled sage, Sarek will accept this knowledge, confident in his own moral rectitude and willpower to resist any corrupting influence it may bring.
You see momentary flashes of strange symbols and terrible images of horrific deeds the Whispering Tyrant performed to gain that knowledge. What effect this might have is not yet revealed/
As a reminder before you push on a number of you have quite a lot of dmaage and other conditions still on you. Your short duration buffs will expire. You can heal your nonlethal if you first eat which I ssume you can do.

Holy crap there are more encounters. Oy! Alright, well time to do lots of healing. First, gobbling up some rations (and making sure the rest of you do likewise). Then using 2 more of my oracle channels.
There are no more here but you ccan head over to the soldier tier area and help out there. You dont have to if you prefer not to. We probably have just enough time for one more encounter if people are quick. The number of successes earned across all tables affects the overall outcome.

Haha ok, a soldier level threat I think I can manage. I was just worried that this wasn't the boss fight in which case there's no way we could handle something tougher than that thing!
