Donovan moves towards the creature. "Face me and fight!" as he does so he hangs his hammer at his belt and sends healing energy through himself.

DC is 16. Above numbers stand. You are up, Etgar. I am assuming you had the foresight to put on the glove before entering the room. allow that assumption :-)

Yup, though I don't see where we know what it actually does. The plan was to wear the glove and have the key handy. Sorry I didn't elaborate upon it. Would Etgar understand how to use the glove...even if the dude playing him doesn't?

The key opened the door. The portrait told you to wear the glove when taking the staff and hitting the sahkil with it.

Well, okay then

Etgar draws and drinks one of his extracts, not willing to go into this fight at anything worse than one hundred percent.

CLW: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Vithiz beats its wings in a way that creates a maddening droning sound that numbs the mind as he moves forward and descends to the floor ready for combat.

Is he within melee reach of the floor now?

Yes.

1d100 ⇒ 96
The dice have not been kind to me this encounter. Lower is better.
The maddening sound of the wihsaak gets the best of Agni. She detects Etgar as a foe and swings the heavy mace.
Melee mwk heavy mace v AC 17: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

"Away from me you evil creature!"

Niu takes a step closer and cackles. Seeing the opportunity to affect the battle, he then casts Web, centered on the far corner.

Reflex DC 16 or Grappled by the webs (no spell resistance)

Need a will save before you take your turn.

Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Awesome....

reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

1d100, Niu.

Agni did not roll her will save. Will do so now.

will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

1d100 ⇒ 69
1d8 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

And protective luck ends :(

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Donovan steps forward and brings the wisdom of Andoletta to fill his hammer.

Don shrugs off the droning sound as Niu strikes himself.

Still need a will save from Etgar.

Holy cow...bad start

Will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Etgar grunts as he takes the strike from Agni. Watch it, Agni...it's me!

Assuming he doesn't explode, below

Etgar moves into position to flank with Don, tumbling through the last square to try and avoid any sweeping attacks from Vithiz.

Acrobatics with crowd dodger: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 2 = 20

He then lashes out with his spear to attempt to knock the staff out of Vithiz's hands.

I don't have improved disarm, so this provokes

CMB: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

S%$*

Etgar notices the staff move of its own accord as he attempts to disarm the wihsaak. Apparently Kishokish is aiding you in this regard. The wihsaak looks at the glove and smiles as Etgar uses his spear to disarm.

Agni moves behind Etgar. She plans to use her last action in this afterlife to keep him alive. "The glove, Etgar, use the glove to disarm him like the portrait said. Don..."

"Uff!" The boy reals from the blow and strikes back.

Lol, dangit - I'd through the glove was to be used to hold the staff when I get it and attack back...thanks GMNPC!

I guess NOW I would attempt the web spell and his reflexes would render it useless :)

Don's smite negates some serious damage reduction doing 15 hp of damage to a still very healthy looking opponent.

Reflex: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Niu casts web and Vithiz becomes entangled and is effectively grappled.

No protective luck atm, my bad.

Etgar looks down at the glove and drops his spear to the ground. Seeing the creature now caught in the webbing, he moves in and used the gloved hand to snatch away the staff.

It looks like I was moved back maybe? Did my tumble through fail maybe? It'd be a blessing as, if not, he'd be right in the web spell, to the east of the big bad. I'll roll CMB just in case he can do this, but not totally sure where Etgar is right now.

CMB: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Inspiration if I can use it for this: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Etgar notices the staff fighting Vithiz. Kishokish detects the presence of his glove he spent so much time with. The glove prevents attacks of opportunity and Kishokish helping you gives you a +4 to cmb.

Etgar feels like he made decent attempt but fails to disarm the wihsaak.

Inspiration can also be used on attack rolls and saving throws, at the cost of expending two uses of inspiration each time from the investigator’s pool.

Retaining the staff, Vithiz continues with Don.

+2 cold iron staff: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31

My bad. Forgot he was in a web, retcon.

"Should I leave the webs up?"

If anyone asks for them to be dismissed, Niu will do so. Otherwise, he will renew Protective Luck on Donovan

Agni holds her action.

Donovan steps to the side and works to hold the creatures attention to allow Etgar and opening.

Swing hammer + Power attack: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 1 = 22
Bashing Damage (Adamintine): 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 + 3 = 11

I wonder if aiding Etgar might be a better plan next round.

Don's hammer makes contact.

Etgar will try once again to grab the staff.

CMB: 1d20 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 4 = 9

Etgar again cannot get the staff from Vithiz.

Vithis glances at Etgar and grunts with a snarl.

He continues with Don.

Agni moves close enough to help Etgar disarm the creep.
cmd aid another: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Donovan attempts to hook the staff with his hammer to slow it enough for Etgar to grab it.

Aid Disarm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Niu cackles to renew Protective Luck on Donovan and adds Protective Luck on Etgar.
