"Well, let's hope it does not reach to that and we can redeem him into the path of the light and the good" Ohrmizd touches the sacred symbol of Sarenrae around his neck "In that case, wait for us here, we will return soon, and if not, good luck Qura, because we will be dead and I doubt any other adventurers would be so crazy to come here safe the day"
The Keleshite then takes flight on his carpet, moving upwards to the next area.

"Although I do like our chances. After all, we did have to go through a different dimension just to be where we are now." With that, Heshan followed the others into the next room.
(B13) Tall, wide windows along the curving walls of this large chamber provide a panoramic view of the town and the dome of the battle market below. Luxurious carpets line the floor, and several desks sit in the northern portion of the room buried under maps and papers. A small sitting area with luxurious chairs and divans fills the western half of the room, while silken curtains screen the southern quadrant.
Davashuum is a tall and imposing janni with darkly tanned, weather-beaten skin, a shaved head, and piercing, pale blue eyes. He wears loose blue robes and carries a silver-shod quarterstaff whose simple appearance belies its potent magical properties. Davashuum is accompanied at all times by a quartet of walking corpses stitched together from the bodies of a dozen or so gnolls that follow his commands.

Ohrmizd nods slightly to Omari's suggestion, and just before flying to the top he prepares his spells to be ready for the end. Casting ward shield on Sarenrae's shield, renews his shield of faith and finishing with divine power as he goes into the room.
"Davashuum!" Ohrmizd calls out hovering on the flying carpet as he points to the walking corpses "We come in the name of justice and light. The atrocities you have committed against Kelmarane will end today."
He touches the sacred symbol of Sarenrae hanging from his neck, feeling its warmth and strength flow through him "But there is still a chance for redemption. Lay down your arms, turn away from this path of darkness, and embrace the light. We can end this without further bloodshed."
Ohrmizd's gaze sweeps over the stitched-together corpses, his expression hardening "If not, know that we will do whatever it takes to stop you and protect the people of Kelmarane!"
He reinforces his words by grasping tight his hand around Zenzirad "Choose wisely"

Ohrmizd holds Zenzirad strong but takes the stunning fist and one of the other attacks. Shaking his face, he calls for Sarenrae's judgement of protection and healing, as he thursts forward "My hands are firm! What hell of a fire will consume us? Have you gone mad?!!"

Omari follows Ohrmizd up the shaft, on the back of Khedron... As he does so, he mutters a prayer to Erastil (Divine Favor).
While Ohrmizd and Davashuum trade commentary, Omari simply slips off the back of Khedron, to set his feet on the floor (and free up Khedron to do his own rampaging)...
@Foxy, can you put assorted enemies on the map? I am sort of guessing about where to put Khedron and Omari... Also, Omari's init is on 15 = 8 on the dice, +5 dex (yes, he has a +5 dex now) +2 sacred (Hunter's blessing)

"Not if we douse your flames first!" Heshan emerged from the shaft behind Omari with hands drawn at the ready. "This is for all the people you hurt here!"

Hazreem flies up into the room taking a position behind the others, odd memories flooding his mind...memories of a time long ago...
Banishing them from his mind he focuses his mind upon their true enemy and calls out in a deathly hallow tone, "Davashuum! Please have a drink for us as you must!"
Cast Cup of Dust on Davashuum. Fort save DC 20 or begin to dehydrate.

@Heshan these are golems - magic immune. Any spell that has SR: Yes will fail. Haste would be a good option...
Khedron strikes at the mockeries of men that swarm below him...
Khedron full attack - he can reach green, purple and white, and he will take his attacks in that order (ie if green goes down, he will switch to purple, and then to white.)

Hazreem shifts his attention to the walk corpse next to him, slamming it with his airy limbs!
@Foxy, Omari's attack routine was in with Khedron's (I will eat the AoO from white). Also, does white draw an AoO from Khedron (withdraw only protects your first 5' of movement from AoO's, not the rest)?

So... magic on the creatures look like it would be a bad idea. So switching gears, Heshan instead focused on bolstering his allies attacks. With a dash of magic, his friends would suddenly become more agile.
Khedron and Heshan pummel their walking corpse. Omari keeps shooting Davashum. Once again the genie pushes the arrows from the first shot aside. With all those creatures in the way the last shot misses.

"What the...?" Ohrmizd curses as their enemy just disappears " Sarenrae, lend me your divine vision, please!"
Depending on Omari's input on what happened with the enemy, Ohrmizd does one of two things. If the enemy just turned invisible, he switches his judgement to justice, then casts judgement light to give the whole party the ability to see the invisible.
If he became ethereal instead, the Sarenrite casts true seeing on himself instead.

"I have seen that trick before..." Heshan noted before bringing out his rod. "And I know how to counter that." With that, he would activate a spell that would hopefully shed light to the attacker.
Using the Rod of Alertness to cast See Invisibility. If possible, he will point to where the genie is at the moment.

Hazreem, looking a tad worse for wear, continues to batter the walking corpse next to him!
Ok, if you can't see Davashuum with true sight (and Foxy's not asking for a perception check...), he's left somehow.
So, heal up, or go jump the guy in B12 while our buffs are still up? Omari and Hazreem have taken a bit of a beating, but everyone else is pretty much good to go...
What does everyone think. I lean to jump into B12.

Omari swings himself onto Khedron's back (for the trip back down to B12); he proposes "Let's go get the other guy with the sand table, before our buffs wear off." He invites Ohrmizd to take point: "After you, Ohrmizd."
One story down you find the 'guy with the sand table'
See invisibility and similar:
and a refreshed Davashum.
A heavy black curtain hangs to the east. Arrow slits pierce the outer wall in all directions, scenes of warring efreet, azers, and salamanders engraving the brass walls between engraved maps and charts hanging amid them. A large sand table sits in the southern half of the room, depicting the town of Kelmarane and its surroundings in great detail, burning braziers flanking it on either side.
I presume the action moves to slide 3.
@Foxy, please put the 'guy with the sand table on the map'; it helps with tactical movement - like can Khedron charge him... Thus, this is a partial turn until I have him to deal with (as Omari can't see invisible - Khedron probably can find whatever it is using scent...).
Omari opens with a volley of arrows. Then he slips off as Khedron rushes into the room, going for the obvious target.
Omari full attack on 'That guy'
As his description is "half statue, half machine", I am assuming he is not a Native Outsider, so no Favored Enemy from Hunter's Blessing. If he is, you will have to add it in @Foxy. Also, if he has DR, it only applies once because of clustered shots.
Omari attempts a quick dismount - if successful, it's a free action on this turn, otherwise, it is a move action on next turn
Khedron moves to attack..
Ohrmizd and Omari seriously wound both men. Davashum doesn't like being cut to strips so he tries to take away Ohrmizd's toy. 'That guy' casts a spell on Omari, draws his large sword and walks over to him.

Hazreem flies over to Davashuum, intoning a spell where soon his arm is covered in a rime of frost!
If any of the attacks, hits, Ohrmizd also evokes the power of Sarenrae to create a forceful strike to extra harm and push away the opponent.
Force damage:10d4 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 3) = 20 Bull rush:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30 Fort DC 18 halves the force damage and negates the bull rush

Omari turns another enemy into a pincushion with a lot of additional holes in the body. Ohrmizd takes down Davashum with the first swing and has some left to end that guy too.
combat over.
A desk before the northeastern wall contains detailed ledgers of troop transfers, duty rosters, supply schedules, and other minutiae of the day-to-day management of an army, all written in Ignan. An iron strongbox sits beside the desk, and a folding wooden screen stands next to the eastern wall.
A study of the sand table reveals the outline of a vast area of destruction emanating from Pale Mountain. Coupled with information contained on the desk, it seems that the genies expect Pale Mountain to erupt into a volcano soon.
"Well, that seems to be Davashuum taken prisoner and his command structure defeated. Is there anywhere else we should visit here in Kelmarane, before we retreat with Davashuum to interrogate him? Or perhaps we should simply rest here?"
As he asks the question, Omari busies himself casting detect magic and searching the downed foes (Davashuum and 'that guy).
Ok, I think we are done with enemies here in the tower. Unless there is another encounter complex in town, I think we need to do some serious searching and looting (and there is a lot of loot scattered all over this town right now - all those Janni captains). Then we can regroup at the monastery and set up to ask davashuum questions...

"Do you think it wise to take Davashuum outside?" Hazreem asks, "If the other jann see us they may put two and two together and warn Jhavul! Not to mention the fact Davashuum himself is a slippery one!"
I say we hole up here for now. While Davashuum is being interrogated Hazreem can set free the two prisoners we ran across earlier.
