Narayan bats aside the fiend's claw, raining down blows from above with a look of grim focus in his eyes!
Narayan does his thing, doing 200+ DPR that gets through DR. The creature is obviously shredded.

Also, Viognier uses a swift action to use the Returning Home boon from Slaver's End to give himself +2 sacred bonus to AC for one minute. I'd also like to use a boon from Heroes for Highdelve that gives me Toughness for this scenario.
I'll let the bottom half go first so they can have fun and participate; I don't think it'll survive Narayan or V. up top again.
Viognier, up to -50 HP, parries needed. Order of operations: Will save vs mind affecting/sonic THEN parries. This was the order things happened in during the creature's turn.

Sayna recognizes the sonic warfare going on and starts begin some of her own. She starts singing a rousing, militant tune, her old favorite from back when she was training the Gray Maiden recruits in tactics and warfare.
”Let’s get down to business
To defeat our foes
Did they send me cowards
When I asked for knights!
You’re the saddest bunch I’ve ever met
But you can bet before we’re through
Madame, I’ll make a woman out of you.”
Standard action to begin bardic performance: countersong. Anyone within 30 ft of Sayna gets to use the result of her perform check each round in place of their own save if they wish. If they have already failed their save vs the effect, they immediately get a new save, though they must use the result of my perform check
Countersong:1d20 + 25 ⇒ (3) + 25 = 28
She advances around the statue to take up position next to Viognier to help protect them from another barrage of attacks.

The treant, who had been holding a chair still from the previous room, throws it at the remaining demon!
Throw:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
The chair flies wide though.
She then swirls about in her elemental form to get a better view of the swarm, then calls down stone upon the wasps!
Stone Call:2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7
Suddenly, the flow of negative energy through Gallowspire’s walls ceases. The undead cry out, furious that this source of power has been taken away from them. The Spellcaster Mission was successful!
GMs, the Spellcaster Mission Success condition on page 17 is in effect.

Dunia's scowl relaxes as the oppressive weight of the foul energy around her finally eases. Hmmp. Still think that I should be on the front lines instead of that overgrown snake, but no way could he have taken care of this...

Lazlo continues to focus on the swarm between he and the fiends.
Second verse, same as the first: another acidball as indicated on map with metamixing arcane exploit, use 1 point of reservoir while casting a spell to apply Elemental Spell (acid) without affecting casting time.
With a triumphant shout, Shevar Besnik’s voice rings out. “Pathfinders! Together we’ve cleared the remaining wards from the stairway. And together, we’ve beaten back most of the monsters these Catacombs had to throw at us. Who wants to go deeper? I’m sure it’s just as bright and cheery as up here!” The way to the Silent Shrine is clear!

Narayan and Vigonier destroy the last daemon! Will distribute token in a bit…
You enter a room. The silence here is pervasive, pressing in on the ears of anyone entering. Broad stairways to the east and west lead to landings with statues of terrifying gods of death.
Three large beings move to intercept you!

Oh! Oh, my! These are gholdakos! They can blind with their breath! Use good-aligned weapons if you can!Lazlo shares all the info in the first two spoilers.
The gnome flies into the room, along the south wall, and uses an arcane reservoir point to up the DC of a glitterdust, targeting 1 and 3. DC 19 Will.
Back at the caravan of goods following the expedition, Sheila Heidmarch speaks. “It’s time to resupply the front line,” she says to the Pathfinders on caravan duty. “There’s no telling what they’ll face next, and...” Her announcement is cut short as the wall buckles. A towering colossus emerges from the wall, blocking the path ahead. “... and we need to deal with this thing first!” Pathfinders from the caravan fire a barrage of arrows and spells at the creature, but they bounce off its tough exterior. “We’ll need strength to crack its defenses!”Players, you can send your Muscle Aid Characters on this mission.

Narayans sets his feet in a broad stance, ready to intercept the pair of cylopean fiends across the chamber, but when Lazlo's spell catches them instead, he gives a startled grin and alters his course, bounding up the stairs to engage the third!

Out of thin air a large, green forest drake appears in the air! Kirana points at the farthest cyclops, and with a flap of its wings it spits a ball of acid that explodes into a cloud!
Acidic Cloud, DC 14 Reflex for half:4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 6, 4) = 19, which lasts for 1d4 ⇒ 1 rounds.
About Acidic Cloud (Su):
A forest drake can, as a standard action, spit a ball of acid that bursts into a cloud on impact. This attack has a range of 60 feet and deals 4d6 points of acid damage (Reflex DC 14 half) to all creatures within the resulting 10-foot-radius spread. The cloud remains for 1d4 rounds once created, acting as a 10-foot-radius obscuring mist (it no longer causes damage), but a strong wind disperses it in a single round. Once a forest drake has used its acidic cloud breath, it cannot do so again for 1d6 rounds. The Reflex save is Constitution-based.
The treant swings its massive tree-trunk fists at the cyclops near it!

Eager to make certain that the cyclops doesn't survive long enough to hurt his friends, Narayan cannons into the towering undead!
You explore the room. A small statue on the landing is of a python wrapped around a gravestone.
DC 30 Knowledge Planes or Religion:
This is the symbol of Farfarello, one of the Malebranche, a minor deity of Hell called the Lord of the Forgotten.
DC 27 Perception:
You locate a small clay ball clutched in the mouth of the python. Cracking the ball open reveals a thin scrap of parchment with a note in Necril written upon it. I assume you all have the means to get Comp Languages up. etc
The note describes the location of the relic in the Black Caverns.

Narayan very excitedly searches the room when his friends do. He's so good at it, that in record time he's positive there's nothing to find!
You enter the larger chamber just ahead. Here, there is a twenty-five-foot-tall burnished gold statue of a skeletal figure draped in fine robes and wielding a scythe dominates this room. A horned crown rests atop the figure’s head.
DC 27 Arcana or History:
The figure is the Whispering Tyrant in the guise of a grim reaper. What an egomaniac!
There are two Pathfinders in here; they look far less equipped than you do. One of them waves at you from near the statue. The other is looking at somethign on the floor. Thank goodness you found us! We were trapped in here behind those horrible horrible cyclops things. Shevar sent us, looking for more capable allies. He has gave us a scroll of Wish, but wanted us to consult you on how to best help our troops. She holds a parchment in her hand. I hear Wishes are dangerous, but it could turn the tide here and help save lives.

Sayna gives them both a wary eye, concerned about anything that sounds too good to be true, especially people offering wishes. Gonna take 10 on sense motive w/heroism for 37
