Seeing Dekion struggle, Mylvwara's expression hardens to a fierce, blank mask.
She steps back to take in the battlefield and draws upon the toughest parts of her training.
She calls forth a celestial lion to strike the foe facing Dekion.
It appears behind the foe and charges in with full divine fury .
A very large and fierce lion suddenly appears out of nowhere, ripping and shredding the abomination. It is an impressive, and somewhat horrifying display, but Broker let's out an audible cheer. Dekion, while still stunned, can breath again.

Mun step forward and retrieves a scroll. He begins loudly incanting the words before him; though in a magical tongue, the Pathfinders are overcome with the feeling of inspiration as if a great general had just called them to battle. A bright blue glow shimmers around all of the Pathfinders before quickly fading away.
Mun quickly points to Zarnel, at the foot of the bridge above them, and command Selune to protect the paladin.
Each round for the duration of this spell, each of your allies can choose one of the following bonuses for that round at the beginning of its turn (their choice).
These effects are not cumulative with similar effects, such as those provided by haste or a speed weapon, nor do they actually grant an extra action, so you can't use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round. Blessing of fervor does not stack with haste.
- * Increase its speed by 30 feet.
- * Stand up as a swift action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
- * Take one extra attack as part of a full attack action, using its highest base attack bonus.
- * Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.
- * Cast a single spell of 2nd level or lower as if it were an enlarged, extended, silent, or still spell.
Selûne bounds up the wall of the gorge, scrambling for purchase as she claws her way to the top. She stops just past Zarnel, looking over the edge and growling deeply at the monsters below.
Mun casts his spell and gives the bear some direction.
Selune attempts to climb, but finds the stone walls too steep to manage to get a foothold.
Selune, Eldon and the lion all continue to feel the burn of the energy emanating from the river.
The grey (blue) undead monk steps forward 5' and starts wailing on Zarnel, anger twisting the remains of his face.
|
Finding fortitude in his inner self, Eldon clicks his heels to perform an acrobatic jump along the pit in front, landing behind the blue undead while trying to avoid its attacks.
From that flanking position, the elf empowers his rapier with magic and profiting his acrobatic spin in the air he tries to skewer the udead in a vital spot "It is burning here!"
Does the river damage happen at the beginning or at the end of the turn?
Eldon leaps across the pit, but leaves himself open to an attack by the creature.
The attack misses the nimble elf, but does throw him off enough that the attack fails.

Glowing with holy light, Ollysta pauses for a moment to rally the Pathfinders. “This will be the hour of our glory, Pathfinders! We strike against the Whispering Tyrant!” She turns her gaze to a spectral dragon circling overhead. The dragon unleashes a wall of negative energy, dissolving Pathfinders where they stand. With steely resolve, Ollysta charges toward the dragon, running on the air. “By Sarenrae’s light, begone!” she cries, as her longsword connects with its wispy form. A gaping hole appears in its chest as holy energy burns away its corrupted body. The dragon rounds on Ollysta, tearing into her with an onslaught of teeth, claws, and razor-edged wings. Ollysta’s wounds are mortal, but the paladin isn’t finished. Her sacred longsword is just as unrelenting as the dragon’s attack. With a triumphant blow, she decapitates the dragon. Its body collapses into a ball of purifying light. The same light envelops Ollysta’s shattered form. As her strength fades, expression of pure serenity crosses her face. With a sigh, she closes her eyes for the last time. She drifts to the ground, landing gently on her back.
Broker feels the burn as he leaps the river of blood, but he shoulders through the pain and shakes off what he can.

As his sword cleaves a clean slice through the monk's shoulder, Zarnel catches sight of the battle raging overhead. Ollystria's triumph over the dragon reminds him of his own flying battle with a dragon and how he too decapitated it. He lets out a mighty cheer, and prepares to call out Vildeis' mantra.
But the words stick in his throat as he sees his faction leader's lifeless form begin to fall towards the earth. Instead of crying 'Abide no Evil,' only a ragged and breathless "Nooooo!" comes out.
Zarnel looks about him at his teammates and the many other fine Pathfinders here. His heart swells with a mixture of sorrow at their losses and pride at the assembled Goodness.
"The death toll shall go no higher," he proclaims with confidence. "Except among the Evil!"
Zarnel nimbly sidesteps the undead monks repeated attacks after getting snagged by the first, but he shakes it off quickly. Responding with a swift swipe of justice, he cuts the evil minion deeply.
Bursting out of the ground across the river from Mun, the missing gravebound appears and points at the ground at Mun's feet.
The other one moves in on the many Eldons, and claws at one of them, causing one image to disappear.

Venture-Captain Jorsal of Lauterbury raises a banner, calling out to the expedition’s medics. “Pathfinders, the brave heroes leading the charge need your help. They cannot be allowed to fall before the Whispering Tyrant’s servants! Come with me, and let us tend to their wounds so they may fight on!”
The lion continues to feel the effects of the river, but pays no mind to it. In an impressive show of force, he manages to grab the undead creature in his maw and crush.

The pointing gives away the intent, and after seeing one hole open, Mun is ready. The regal elf steps back, avoiding the pit with ease.
He calls over the river to Selune. "The gravebound, Selune, destroy it!" It's the motion of his spear, pointing out the target, that gets the bear moving. As Selune starts to move, Mun calls out in a strong voice. "Ashava, though she be not your servant, though she followed the sun and not your moon, the best example of your glory just found her final peace. I pray to you now that you grant us the power to do your will here and not fall as she did!"
You bring special favor upon yourself and your allies while bringing disfavor to your enemies. You and each of your allies gain a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, while each of your foes takes a –1 penalty on such rolls.
Selune leaps over to the gravebound on her side of the river, avoiding the heat of the river as best as she can. She nips at the horrible undead creature.
The kurobozu continues to try to disable Zarnel.
He i unable to land any of the attacks.
Zarnel cuts and slashes and cuts the kurobozu to shreds. Almost simultaneously, Eldon does the same with one of the gravebound. The tide is certainly turning!
The last remaining foe burrows into the ground, and ends up popping up behind Mun.
The undead grabs Mun. Both are now grappled.
Selune immediately rushes towards her patron, leaping yet again across the demonic river and snapping at the elusive gravebound.
The bear tears into the remaining undead as mun breaks free.

Assuming that the lion, the bear and the battle-elf can handle the one last undead, Zarnel suppresses the hell beast. As he does so, he asks Vildeis to grant him succor from his wounds and the aftermath of battle. He steps around Eldon, hops the burning river of blood, and kneels beside Dekion.
"My friend, you look unwell. I think this spell I used earlier will help."
|
As his head finally stops spinning, Dekion looks around the battlefield to get a sense of the situation. When he sees that the group has the last of the enemies against the wall on the other side of the river, he considers jumping over to help.
"You've already been enough of a liability in this fight, better not compound it by falling in," he decides. He reaches down to pick up his sword and stands back up to see Zarnel approach.
"Thank you. It seems that undead monk was faster than I expected. I'm afraid I wasn't much help," he says to the Aasimar.
x 1/2
Broker - do you have an action?
The gravebound tries to drop Mun in a whole. A 10-foot-deep pit in the earth underneath him, and he falls in.
The grave digger then burrows into the earth.
