Awkward page break — overseer just moved us onto the deepest part o the temple. Cross-reference map is updated on slide 2!

Deep within the temple lies a truly unholy site. It is here that the serpentfolk will feed their best prizes to their god! There might be time to save the Azlanti general you’ve heard about, yet…

You make your way down into the depths of the temple, eventually entering a massive, domed chamber. A heavy presence claws at your chest and weighs the air itself down. Strange glows emanate from the cardinal points. In the center of the room, an elevated, spiraling staircase entwines a column of stone, atop which sits an altar.

There, an ancient and twisted old serpentfolk utters prayers over the chained form of an Azlanti man, a serrated dagger in one hand and incense in the other. Three reptilian abominations touched by Ydersius’s divine nature stand by to witness the rite — their eyes glow red, and their scales are tinted a bloody crimson!

They all turn as Faustus enters. The cleric drops her incense. She draws two short swords, ready to kill whoever dares interrupt their unholy sacrament. The serpentfolk with glowing red eyes are unarmed, but their wickedly sharp fangs and claws gleam with magical enhancement.

Knowledge checks, on your turn when you have line of sight

You know serpentfolk have SR; are immune to mind-affecting effects, paralysis, and poison; have a poisoned bite; and can have class levels.

Roderick prepares to launch into the room

Egads! That looks like trouble indeed. Take care not to hurt the victim!

He sprouts a pair of wings and flies up as high as he can and forward (if he can get high enough to clear the big bird).

Need to know hallway ceiling height, and also how long since last combat for buffs/spells expired.

Time: 8 minutes since last combat. 54 min total. I'll just put a "time elapsed" in my byline for everyone so it's easier.

Ceiling height (it is noted on map, too): 10' in hallway; and 50' in the chamber; you can move through allies fine.

I moved Roderick ahead; it won't affect the enemies' actions because I want to cast aoe spells on the party or buff, and you can adjust as you see fit. I added a line showing the path Roderick took to get where his token is, but the final position is totally up to you.

★★★

★★★

Serpentfolk one casts a spell. Two mirror images appear around him. The other two cast spells — a cold, cloying miasma of greasy darkness seeps into the air and spreads along the corridor in a 20-foot radius. One of them moves around the far side of the spiral stairs.

Mirror image & Unholy Blight

Please make two will saves, Faustus, Lya, Fairbeaks, and Lilybeth. Then, read the spoiler.

Theo and Fairbeaks delay. The ritual leader is just going to buff up too. So we'll get everyone else going here.

The unholy blight will save is against an evil evocation spell, by the way.

Lilybeth emerges from the miasma mostly unharmed.

The ritual leader mirror images herself too, and then carefully studies at Lya, studying the Shelynite — a deity who's hated by her god!

Oh, hey... I typed up a post, but forgot to hit send, last night! =)

Fairbeaks Will 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Fairbeaks Will 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Fairbeaks takes 13 points of damage, and is sickened for 3 rounds (2 now)

Fairbeaks squawks in distress as the cloying miasma of evil overtakes him, and he lurches into the room to try to get away from whatever it is!

Theo quickly follows his friend in, talking to him calmly in Tien, trying to get the bird to settle down.

bite: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 10 - 2 = 9 (ha!)

Eventually, he manages it, pointing Fairbeaks towards the serpentfolk, but the axebeak can only take a token snap of the beak towards the nearest, as the lingering effects of the spells seem to have taken the usual joyful fight out of him.

Double move for Theo. Single move and a miss for the bird

Lilybeth moves forward, activates the daemon and commands it to cast a area dispel magic.

I think that can include the ritual leader, lizardfolk 1 and lizardfolk 3 in case that one has a buff as well

Dispel Magic : 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Inkwell flies up and spits ink at the ritual leader. (DC15 reflex)

Refill: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Lily, there is no area dispel option for dispel magic in PFS (that was a 3.5 thing). It still exists on the greater dispel I think, just not regular.

Fairbeaks takes 13 points of damage, and is sickened for 3 rounds (2 now)

Fairbeaks is Good?

Lily, there is no area dispel option for dispel magic in PFS (that was a 3.5 thing). It still exists on the greater dispel I think, just not regular.

Ah! I'll just target the leader's mirror image then

Roderick moves a bit forward and higher and rains a bomb down on the leader/caster and closest serpent dude(#3) if in 10'range (3D?).

Fire below!

Bomb, range, pb, heroism: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 1 + 2 = 27
for Explosve dmg : 4d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6, 3, 6, 4) + 3 + 1 = 23 10'r splash, 7 fire dmg (DC14 for half).

If there are still images remaining, then not sure how to adjudicate the hit/image/splash 10'r would still splash the target if he hits an image

Will save 1: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22
Will save 2: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28
Faustus takes 4hp damage

With tongues "Your god will be disappointed today. My soul is already claimed by The Prince of Darkness. He would be most wrought if it was taken from him by the likes of you."

planes to ID: 1d20 + 10 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 5 = 21 +3 if it is a demon

Faustus moves forward, not hurrying, an inexorable juggernaut of doom. He then casts shield of faith to enhance his armor class.

"I should ask for your surrender now, but I know I would be wasting my breath."

Lya's player is camping tonight, so I will bot for her...

will save 1: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
will save 2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19
Lya take 8 damage

Lya moves up to support the team with her glaive at the ready, trying to get closer the bound man. Unfortunately, she is currently out of range for Paladin's Sacrifice.

She readies to aid another to aid the first Pathfinder's AC within range, but her lack of comfort with combat causes her to be of no help.

Aid Another DC10: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Fairbeaks is neutral so 6 damage, not sickened.

Fairbeaks manages to get off an attack, but not even an image.

Lilybeth dispel's the ritual leader's mirror images.

Inkwell sprays ink, but he leader easily didges it.

The leader has less luck of Roderick, taking a bomb to the shoulder. The fiendish serpentfolk attendant jsut stands there i thje splash, completely unharmed.

Lya has problems coordinating her actions, but makes it forward.

Faustus knows the serpentfolk with glowing eyes are fiendish — the result of some unholy rite or union! They are Medium outsiders with the monstrous humanoid and native subtypes. They have strong resistances to acid, cold, electricity, and fire (as Roderick finds out).

He casts shield of faith and, like death and taxes, moves as inexorably closer.

Fung calls upon the winds to buoy himself up, flying straight to the centre of the ritual.

He then whips up a column of swirling air to slam down upon the ritual leader.

Seeing the effects of his bomb on the leader, Roderick finishes his thought....Jolly good show dispelling those extra images. However, I fear my bombs, of any type, will not help against the other three.

Fung blasts the ritual leader -50 hp, and will burn for 1 this round

Lilybeth knows all the things about the fiendish serpentfolk!

The first fiendish serpentfolk steps toward Faustus and full attacks, but only whiffs.

The second fiend casts mirror images on itself. Five images appear. It then moves closer to Roderick, but is still far below.

The third delays. The ritual leader full attacks Fung She can reach you as you're 45' up and she's 40' up, hitting twice over four attacks with the dual-wielded shortswords and a bite. -12 HP

The third one then casts a spell. Fung hears a telepathic voice in his mind telling him that there is an important Azlanti general over in the far corner whose about to be sacrificed. It sounds very reasonable — and after all, aren't you here for the general? Please make a will save against compulsion.

Inkwell flies back to Lilybeth

Lilybeth casts haste.

Fung and Roderick are out of range, but the rest is hasted

Lilybeth commands the Ceustodaemon to attack serpentfolk 1.

Haste, Power Attack. Belt of Strength
Bite: 1d20 + 15 - 3 ⇒ (14) + 15 - 3 = 26 for Damage: 2d6 + 6 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (2, 5) + 6 + 1 + 6 = 20

Not knowing the AC, rolling for images is a bit weird, so I'll leave that to the GM

YUp, unfortunately, the ceiling is 50' high, so Fung can't fly higher.

will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 Does that clear the DC?

”It is a good thing you are zealots, as you know where I am sending you. ” states the inquisitor, as he attacks with bane enabled.

Does that clear the DC?

Fung shakes it off! The general is right here! Success!

★★★

The daemon pops all the images, allowing Faustus to perform yet another final arbitration!

It gets taken out on the second hit. Whoever created these fiends should have gifted them with more constitution instead of awesome-looking scales.

Darn, was hoping to get haste. Hasted melee kineticist are crazy! Remind me to stay in range next time... :)

Having avoided what mind-controlling spell the serpentfolk had attempted, Fung brings his mind back to the business at hand. He concentrates momentarily, pulling in more of the energy around to empower his strike as he cracks his cyclone whip down again upon the ritaul leader.

Lya breaks out running up and around the staircase double hasted move - kind of guessing on the 120 feet minus elavation

Theo sees Lya start up the spiral ramp, and quickly moves to follow... though his stubby dwarven legs are not quite as quick.

Fairbeaks, on the other hand, normally far quicker than the dwarf, quickly darts after him, but finds himself slowed slightly, as he moves along what to him is a relatively narrow ledge. Still, even slowed he is just as quick as Theo, and catches up to him just as they reach Lya.

Narrow Frame doesn't remove the half speed penalty for 5' areas... so his movement is cut in half!

So double move for both

As I'm rather busy later today and the actions by the enemies will most likely not change my intended action at all, while Lilybeth's will probably make it possible to end the fight quickly without spending too much resources, I'll post them now:

"Have I ever told you guys I despise Illusion magic?"

Lilybeth commands the ceustodaemon to dispel the mirror images on Serpentfolk 2.

Dispel magic: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

"Ok, this daemon is almost spent, I'll fetch a new one."

Lilybeth summons a new ceustodaemon.

Fortitude DC20: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

"Even with haste it will take a long time to get up there dear Faustus, let's buff you a bit more!"

Lilybeth commands the new ceustodaemon to cast fly on Faustus.

Faustus's expression is unreadable behind his iron mask.

Theo and Fairbeaks waddle up the ramp.

The annoying mirror images wink out thanks to the daemon.

Faustus's iron mask covers how he really feels about accepting the touch of pure neutral evil.

★★★

The serpent-fiend standing near Lya notices her holy symbol — that symbol of a hated, good-aligned deity! He screams somethign as he moves in to attack!

The creature hits three times, and each time Lya feels the power of chaos and evil, always striving to ruin everything beautiful in the world. She also feels this corruption enter her veins, and the poison tries to take hold…

Fort save vs. poison needed; Smite good; 34 damage. (the bite was close but a 21 still hits as far as I can see)

The last fiend casts mirror images; 3 images swirl around it. It then moves up to the altar near the Azlanti victim!

Even if this fiend is to lose his life, the Lord of Coiling Poison will have his due!

Lya suddenly finds herself squeezed between the enemy and a large bird... She carefully considers her options...

fort save versus poison: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

Lya whispers a prayer to Shelyn while touching herself. LoH swift action: 5d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 6, 4, 6) + (4) = 25

Without any combat options, she turns to climb on Fairbanks' back, hoping he is distracted enough by the serpent to not mind a momentary step up.

climb: 1d20 ⇒ 18

if GM approves... Move action to climb up Fairbank's armor, provoking an AoO. Second move action to climb the next ledge which i believe is right around her head level standing on top of Fairbanks.

That works for me, Lya. I assume a fellow PC would allow you to get out of the way as well.

The fiend hisses hatefully at the Paladin's holy prayer tot he muse, and lashes out with its bite as the Shelynite moves away!

Lya sustains more puncture wounds, and though she fought off the corruption of the poison once already, she must now do so again. You pass the fort save, get bitten for 12, and need to make another fort save.

Heh. Fairbeaks has no saddle (or the like)... which imposes a -4 if you want to try riding on him. You wouldn't be the first to give it a go =)
Not as big an issue if just using him as a springboard to climb up further.

Oh, and sorry Lya... totally forgot you had a reach weapon! Not that the axebeak would have payed much attention I suppose.

Fairbeaks squawks in surprise and confusion, as Lya uses him to reach the ledge above. For a moment, it looks like he might try to pick at her, to get her off his back, but a swift command from Theo turns the bird's attention back on the serpentfolk, and it takes its distress out on it instead.

Fairbeaks bite, PA: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 10 - 2 + 1 = 13, for 2d6 + 14 ⇒ (6, 1) + 14 = 21 damage.
Fairbeaks bite hasted, PA: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 - 2 + 1 = 18, for 2d6 + 14 ⇒ (5, 5) + 14 = 24 damage.

Of course, the large snapping beak mostly just catches air, clearly thrown off by his temporary passenger.

Using the distraction, Theo quickly ducks under Fairbeaks' vestigial wings, and gets right up in the serpentfolk's face, bringing his club to bear, and swinging it hard at the thing's head.

Theo smash!: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28, for 1d10 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20 damage.

Faustus takes advantage of the deamon's fly spell, and flies up to the summit. (takes 135 feet out of 140, with haste)

So, what say we end this charade, and you free your captive." says Faustus to the serpentfolk at the top.

Lya climbed up off the bird right away - just a step ladder :D

fort save vs poison: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31

Roderick continues flying, but seeing the leader is dead, figures his bombs are less useful.

I daresay, do we have them handled now that the leader has been eliminated, or are the other mooks still a threat?

He mixes an extract of enlarge person, and drinks it before drawing his long spear.

"I'm not sure, Roderick, but safer to still treat them as threat?" While saying that, Fung drifts closer to the un-enchanted serpentfolk and sends a blast of cyclonic air at it.

vs #2: Air Wysp Aura, Elemental Overflow (Dex & Con), PBS
Burn: Empower Metakinesis (+1), Gather Power (-1)
air blast: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 18
bludgeoning dmg: 4d6 + 11 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 3) + 11 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 1 = 28 ==> Empowered Damage = 28x1.5 = 42

Fairbeaks struggles on the strange footing. Theo smashes the mirror-imaged fiend — the club hits the actual creature with a meaty thwack.

Faustus entreats the creatures to see reason, but he probably has an inkling about how these fanatics will react. He's done his pre-killing due diligence, at least.

Lya gets out of the way and once again fights off the poison.

Roderick prepares "Plan B."

Fung's blast misses the serpent!

★★★

The fiend near the dwarf strikes at him three times, attempting to dispatch the annoyance before chasing down the Shelynite. Theo feels the poison enter his veins, trying to deaden his muscles. Please make a fort save!

The last one hisses at Faustus and furiously attacks him, enraged that he dared call their sacrament a "charade"! But he misses each time.

Lya 5 foot steps for a cleaner shot on the Serpent #3, praying to Shelyn for aid once more.

LoH: 5d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 4, 4, 1) + (5) = 23

She attempts her best to attack the creature as it swings wildly at the flying armored Inquisitor.

Um... Theo was hitting serpentfolk 2 (not 3). The one with no images. =) He can't reach 3.

Theo grits his teeth as the serpentfolks fangs sink into his flesh, and poison starts to course through his veins.

Fort vs Poison: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 = 19

Ignoring the venom for now, he turns on the one that injected it, swinging his club multiple times.

Full attack vs serpentfolk2
primary: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 15 + 1 = 24, for 1d10 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18 damage.

hasted: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 3 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 1 - 3 = 20, for 1d10 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27 damage.

Behind him, Fairbeaks snaps at the same foe with his powerful beak.

bite: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 10 - 2 + 1 = 29, for 2d6 + 14 ⇒ (1, 3) + 14 = 18 damage.
hasted bite: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 10 - 2 + 1 = 10, for 2d6 + 14 ⇒ (2, 1) + 14 = 17 damage.

bite confirm?: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12, for an additional 2d6 + 14 ⇒ (5, 1) + 14 = 20 damage.

well those were some relatively unexciting die rolls

Fung grants in frustration at the missed shot, but he pulls forth his power and fires again.

vs #2: Air Wysp Aura, Elemental Overflow (Dex & Con), PBS
Burn: Empower Metakinesis (+1), Gather Power (-1)
air blast: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 10 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 21

RIGHT AFTER I posted I corrected this, but pasted the text into my other game! What a day :D 2 was at -20. Here is a quick post to reset things.

Lya hits the target twice and pops one image.

Theo makes the save against poison. Theo hits once as does Fairbeaks (doesn't confirm). Still takes out the serpent.

Air blast misses again but pops an image.

The old daemon dissapears and the belt of giant strength falls to the ground.

Lilybeth commands the remaining daemon to pick it up and wear it.

She uses her wand of mage armor to boost its armor class.

Faustus ignores the others as he brings his adamantine heavy mace down on the chain holding the captive. "I will have you free in a moment, my friend." he says, letting the magic of his tongues spell translate for the man, if needed.

Final Arbitration, PA, haste, vs chain: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 1 - 2 = 17 Adamantine weapon: 1d8 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 4 = 12
Final Arbitration, PA, haste, vs chain: 1d20 + 15 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 15 + 1 - 2 = 18 Adamantine weapon: 1d8 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 4 = 17
Final Arbitration, PA, haste, vs chain: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 16 Adamantine weapon: 1d8 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 4 = 14

Low attack rolls, but against a chain, I am not sure they'll miss

"Lilybeth, I am dealing with more important things than that... serpent."

Faustus cuts through three of the four chains holding the Azlanti man's limbs on the altar. He springs to action faster than you'd think possible — clearly, a powerful warrior — and wraps the remnants of a chain around the fiend's neck, grappling the fiendish serpent in a deadly bear-hug!

He growls something in Azlanti as he does so:

Roderick finishes growing to large size and then decides which of the remaining foes to stab

Are we saving this one or skewer it?

Roderick will wait for a response and readies to strike if the serpent does anything hostile

2 is gone; I said it died and removed it from the init block but not the map. If you're gonna stab, stab 3.

The general is grappling the serpent. But it looks like your ready dice are malformed.
