no i knew that...since i wasn't engaged with her, I was going to head off Shinri before she can get to us...was leaving the seductress to the others..if that's not cool i can revise my action
The seductress is almost cut in half when Korum hits and blood splatters everywhere ... the seductress leaves only a lifeless hull that drops to the floor.
Torku and Korum finish off the last Aspis while Makras's aim was a little off.
Doran moves forward to confront Shinri and sees her unarmored and unarmed.
She starts concentrating with a visual sparkle appearing around her and then starts walking up along the walls and then the ceiling into the room drawing shurikens along the path.

”Shit.” Torku sheathes his rapier and pulls out a crossbow from across his back as he steps closer to the corner of the crates. ”Time to show us what that gun can do,” he snarls at Vulpina, digging through his pack for a bolt.

Just throwing this out there: would you say a creature freefalling from the ceiling would be able to apply their DEX modifier to their AC against, say, Korum's AoO? Just asking ;)

”That works too.”
Torku glides across the floor like a shadow, crossbow held loosely in one hand and his rapier drawn again in the other. He jabs at the lone agent, but his balance is disrupted by the crossbow’s weight.
After seeing Loam being hit so hard in the face and dropping to the ground the group is now ambushing this unarmed woman with dark skin, green eyes and an unbelievable energy!
Vulpina Acrobatics:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
Vulpina, jumpin up 5 ft is a DC 20 Acrobatics which you did not make. You can still attack but I moved you to the position on the map that you would be in.
Vulpina cannot make the jump up but she nonetheless slashes with her Wakizashi but notices that an invisible barrier prevents the attack from connecting!
Also Doran, Korum and Torku all try to hit Shinri but are not successful to penetrate her armor and her dodging form.
Who to attack? 1=Torku, 2=Vulpina:1d2 ⇒ 2
Suddenly, Shinri moves a Mantis style move and starts to attack Vulpina who shot her earlier and also hits her in the face and follows with another kick that hits Vulpina in the chest!

Those second two are going to be nullified-- Dodging Panache takes me out of their reach unless she 5-foot steps after me, in which case she'll also be dropping off of the crate. Regardless, though, that first one's going to hit:

Torku jabs his rapier at the woman's leg. "Get her down on the ground and surrounded," he barks. As if it has a mind of its own, his tail grabs the burnt stick from his belt and passes it to the hand recently emptied of the crossbow that now lies on the ground.
If Shinri does follow Vulpina and leave the crate, he'll move into a flanking position with someone. @GM, you'll have to add the bonus to his roll if that happens.
Standard to attack, free to drop crossbow, swift to retrieve wand thanks to Prehensile Tail. If she takes to the ceiling once more, he'll start the process of waking Loam back up. And possibly Vulpina, if things continue going south.

Makras shouts up at the woman, "Death comes for all . . . but sooner for you, I think." He laughs uproariously at his own strange joke.
I'm going to try my Antagonize feat. I make an Intimidate check vs. DC of 10+target's HD+target's Wisdom modifier. If I succeed, she flies into a rage on her next turn and has to attack me (or cast a harmful spell that includes me in the area of effect).
Antagonize:
Benefit: You can make Diplomacy and Intimidate checks to make creatures respond to you with hostility. No matter which skill you use, antagonizing a creature takes a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity, and has a DC equal to 10+ the target’s Hit Dice + the target’s Wisdom modifier. You cannot make this check against a creature that does not understand you or has an Intelligence score of 3 or lower. Before you make these checks, you may make a Sense Motive check (DC 20) as a swift action to gain an insight bonus on these Diplomacy or Intimitade checks equal to your Charisma bonus until the end of your next turn. The benefits you gain for this check depend on the skill you use. This is a mind-affecting effect.
Diplomacy: You fluster your enemy. For the next minute, the target takes a –2 penalty on all attacks rolls made against creatures other than you and has a 10% spell failure chance on all spells that do not target you or that have you within their area of effect.
Intimidate: The creature flies into a rage. On its next turn, the target must attempt to make a melee attack against you, make a ranged attack against you, target you with a spell, or include you in the area of a spell. The effect ends if the creature is prevented from attacking you or attempting to do so would harm it (for example, if you are on the other side of a chasm or a wall of fire). If it cannot attack you on its turn, you may make the check again as an immediate action to extend the effect for 1 round (but cannot extend it thereafter). The effect ends as soon as the creature attacks you. Once you have targeted a creature with this ability, you cannot target it again for 1 day.
Korum's blade is so sharp and strong that when he hits Shinri she almost drops from the crate.

............and be a problem.
Lady Vulpina, my understanding would be that unfortunately due to the failed save you do not move as dodging panache says: "This movement doesn’t negate the attack, which is still resolved as if the swashbuckler had not moved from the original square." So if you are hit before you can move but are stunned because of the attack then the other attacks hit you while you are still in your original square. And if that is the case then you were stunned for the second and third attack and both hit your FF AC so you would be hit by the third attack AC 13 and be at -6 HP, prone and dying now. :-(
Vulpina is hit by the first unarmed strike and is immediately stunned which enables Shinri to hit her two more times with a kick and a punch! The Tian woman's unconscious body drops to the ground!

Torku's Rapier hits Shinri's leg but she can move away so he does not hit a critical spot.

Shinri looks at Makras and a small smile on her face shows that she is not affected by his tempting words at all!
Makras, I am super sorry but I missed you on the last turn so you still have an action in this turn!

The woman’s fist punches through a hard barrier before reaching the tiefling. Using two points of Focus to activate Mind Barrier as an immediate action.
Fortitude vs DC 17:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
Unfortunately, it is not enough to prevent Torku’s collapse under the onslaught of blows. His wand clatters to the ground next to him, as does his blade.
Stabilize vs DC 13:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
So unconscious and stable. If someone can use Torku’s wand to start waking people up, that might help swing the tide back in our favor.
Edit: It looks like she moved a square to the side, out of the range of his attack--GM, if you want to just treat that as a readied action to attack if she comes adjacent?

The last bite? But I already...grr. Doesn't she ever shut up?
With more ire than he intends, "What's that your V-ness? I couldn't understand you with all those floorboards in your mouth. Interesting technique you have, letting her wear herself out like that. I'm sure her knuckles are all bruised from your face."

"Because you lack faith. A lesson for the next life." Placing his glaive against her neck, the paladin calls upon an inner reserve of divine energy.
Pally channel:2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5
No Selective Channel, so I want to make certain Shinrin doesn't spring back into action. Not looking to kill her, just threaten her if she heals to positive.
Shinri’s eyes open again and she is about to attack!
I cannot treat it as a readied action Korum as this channel was your action in the round but all those that are now positive (but prone) and Doran can react to her.

"Sure, offer her a second chance to slit all our throats," Torku mutters as he picks himself up off the floor. "Truly an act of mercy." It is clear from his tone that, in these circumstances, he is equating "mercy" with "idiocy". Grabbing his charred stick, the tiefling looks at Markas. "Can you stabilize her without giving her a third opportunity to demonstrate her 'mercy'?" He pulls a rope out of his pack and tosses it at the half-orc.

Not everyone's throat ya thankless wretch!
An annoyed sigh and accompanying eye roll are followed with a shake of his head. "Well Torku, if only your leadership style didn't require you to lay in a pool of your own blood. Maybe you could have provided some of the fantastic insight. Next time be sure to leave a set of directions before you check out. Sure would be helpful." He kicks the tangle of rope back toward the telling, "Yeah, why don't you get right on that?"
He holds a hand out to help Vulpina up. With genuine concern, "Are you alright?" He leans in a little closer to whisper, "I didn't think I was one to say 'I told you so', but apparently I am."

”I’ll be sure to mention your exceptional bravery in the report,” Torku replies. ”Such valiant posturing from the back lines. They’ll be writing songs in your honor, and only performing them on cramped rowboats where nobody can sleep while you stare at the water with the blank stare of a fish instead of helping.” The tiefling could his rope back up and helps Doran with the knots. ”Why don’t you go demonstrate some more superb leadership skills over there?”
No hard feelings here, Korum - and let me know if Torku’s going to far and he’ll fall into sullen silence easily. Really glad we got her down before she knocked out a fourth person.
