Frantino does a "stagger-charge" as a standard action at the nearest lamia.

Is your weapon ghost-touched?

Not yet, he was waiting until the ghost appeared to drink the elixir but the forced actions from wrathful rage didn't make it possible. Yet.

Frantino blindly attacks Nasir in his rage.

[dice=+2 halberd w/ PA]1d20 + 5, [dice=damage]1d10 + 15

Ouch! One hit!

Nasir partial charges Frantino and swings his shield at him.

Shield Bash: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 13 + 1 = 32
Dmg: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Shield Slam pushes Frantino back. Auto 5ft, but for every 5 by that the attack exceeds Frantino’s CMD, he is pushed back an additional 5 feet. You use my attack roll vs his CMD.

BOTTING DOC

unarmed strike: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14 MISS

XANESHA ROUND TWO

The ghostly lamia reaches out to Doc and whispers, "Die, man."

Corrupting Touch + wisdom drain: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23 HIT! dmg (Fort DC25 half): 10d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2, 1, 6, 1, 1, 6, 3, 6) = 36 and Wisdom Drain: 1d4 ⇒ 2

@DOC FortDC25 half: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 FAIL
@DOC Will DC25 negate wisdom drain: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 FAIL

Satisfied, she floats away, delighting in the pain of corruption she has caused the human floating in front of her.

HEROES' TURN! GO!

Frantino FLY [60ft fly speed; good]

Ezranadir LEVITATE [20ft up or down; move action by caster]
Doc LEVITATE [20ft up or down; move action by caster]
Nasir CARPET [40ft fly speed; good]
Ayita CARRYING WIND [10ft fly speed; poor]
Yazhi CARRYING WIND [10ft fly speed; poor]

Frantino casts shield as a standard action, pulls his elixir of spirit sense as a move action, and erects a mind barrier as a swift action. He'll take a 5' "step" down.

"Doc, if you levitate up a little this would be a great time to show us how channeling works!"

I believe Ezranadir would be able to get off an AoO on Xanesha. If so he strikes out with his Rapier.
AoO Rapier Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Rapier P Dmg: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Is it real? Mirror Image check: 1d3 ⇒ 2
Miss chance?, High Hits: 1d100 ⇒ 30

As she moves away, Ezranadir puts away his Rapier so that he can cast a spell. He casts Mirror Image and gains...1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Images.

Ayita gets out a jar of "Holy Weapon Balm" and applies it to 10 arrows. She also bleeds on them. She talks to Yazhi to calm her down after the disturbing fight, asking Yazhi to guard Doc, for now. Yazhi double-moves toward Doc.

Frantino casts shield as a standard action, pulls his elixir of spirit sense as a move action, and erects a mind barrier as a swift action. He'll take a 5' "step" down.

"Doc, if you levitate up a little this would be a great time to show us how channeling works!"

Doc cannot levitate himself. The levitate spell is under the control of the caster, Ezranadir. To move Doc is a move action by Ezranadir. Max movement per round, per the spell, is 20ft.

Round Three

His head clearing from the temporary wrath, Hatfield notices that several of his friends are injured.

Just for fun: the Oracle tries to dog paddle his way upwards, to no avail.

Standard: Channel on Ayita, Ezranadir, Hatfield, and Yazhi 4d4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 3) + 1 = 10

Swift: Healers Way on Self 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 5, 5) + 1 = 17

Standard: Channel on Ayita, Ezranadir, Hatfield, and Yazhi 4d4+1

I believe your 7th level revelation (channel) is replaced by your archetype's Master Healing Technique.

This ability replaces the revelation gained at 7th level.

Does your channel affect undead, like a normal cleric/oracle channel?

It can. But I've chosen to heal this round. I cannot attack with the channel and heal at the same time.

See above. I think your Pei Zin Practitioner replaces 7th level oracle revelation with Master Healing Technique.

Standard: Channel on Ayita, Ezranadir, Hatfield, and Yazhi 4d4+1

Channeling uses the d6, not d4, if you have that revelation.

Hm. Well, I guess no channel

Doc, Ezranadir was not injured. Apply the healing to Frantino or Nasir instead.

Nasir pulls and drinks his potion of Spirit Sight. "It did not take long before we needed to use zat."

He then nudges the flying carpet toward Xanesha. (5' step)

Doc, Ezranadir was not injured. Apply the healing to Frantino or Nasir instead.

I can't. Per Derek's post above I can't move. They're too far away. And I can't channel.

Doc is referring to the levitate spell being under the control of Ezranadir. Only Ezranadir can move Doc, using a move action.

XANESHA ROUND THREE

Seeing the images blossom around Ezranadir, Xanesha focuses on him.

"Mage, your images won't help you!" she cries as she casts three bolts of pure, unerring, force into him.

Magic Missiles: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 2, 2) + 3 = 10

The missiles fly in between images, seeking and hitting Ezranadir!

HEROES' TURN! GO!

Frantino FLY [60ft fly speed; x2 speed down; good]

Ezranadir LEVITATE [20ft up or down; move action by Ezranadir]
Doc LEVITATE [20ft up or down; move action by Ezranadir]
Nasir CARPET [40ft fly speed; x2 speed down; good]
Ayita CARRYING WIND [10ft fly speed; poor]
Yazhi CARRYING WIND [10ft fly speed; poor]

Ezranadir uses a move action to Levitate Doc up 20' then casts Purge Spirit at her. "I learned this spell for the haunts I have encountered but I think it will work nicely on you!" The spell rips away at the target’s spiritual substance, scattering it over a wide area and hampering the target’s ability to reform. He calls out to the frontline fighters, "What are you guys doing? Get down here!"

Spirit Dmg: 7d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 4, 5, 1, 6) = 22 Incorporeal takes full damage but Save vs DC:20 Will to not be Staggered for 1 round.
Overcome SR?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Nasir pushes the carpet to maximum speed and charges at Xanseha, drawing his sword as he moves.

Charging Scimitar: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 13 + 1 = 16
Dmg: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

There's the Paizo RNG I know...

Ayita nocks a treated arrow and fires at Xanesha, fully expecting the Lawful Evil RNG deity to thwart her efforts. Some have called the deity chaotic, but it's too predictable.

Ayita shoots: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

She also signals Yazhi to move in on Xanesha and help Nasir.

A small edit to the above: "Incorporeal creatures take full damage" means that their 50% dmg reduction due to being incorporeal is negated. A save still gives half damage. This per designer Mark Seifter.

The ghostly lamia shrieks as her ghostly form is torn apart by Ezranadir! "AHHHHH! ELF, YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT!"

Will DC20: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 FAIL! Full dmg +staggered 1round

MISS

I was able to move Doc up 20' on the map.

Frantino drinks his Elixir of Spirit Sense and flies down just below and adjacent to Doc. Under his breath, he mutters, "Doc, I could really use some of your help right now."

"Nice spell, Ezranadir, I'll be right there."

Ayita nocks a treated arrow and fires at Xanesha, fully expecting the Lawful Evil RNG deity to thwart her efforts. Some have called the deity chaotic, but it's too predictable.

@DOC with whom did you form a life link this morning?

Can we say Ezranadir, Yazhi, and Frantino?

Move: Hatfield draws his metamagic rod.

Standard: When Frantino is near, the oracle reaches out:
cure serious wounds: 3d8 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (2, 8, 3) + 7 + 1 = 21
(Including metamagic, that's 30 HP of healing to Frantino.)

Swift: healers way on self: 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1, 2) + 1 = 6

(Decrementing 1 rod use, 1 3rd-level spell, 1 healers way)

Move action to bring Doc closer to the group if he so wants (down 20'). "Maybe Ter can push us closer together?"
