Kast watches the pig do pig things, correctly in Kast's mind. He clutches his own dominant weapon and will help as needed.
Pachemu discovers that the staff bypasses the DR of the wall! It'll still be a slog getting through 400hp, but I'm sure you can manage it.
Do you break through the wall by the doors?
Seeing Pachemu strike the odd wall with her staff, Seamus walks up to it and thrusts his rapier into the odd material. Turning to the others he shrugs, "What do you think? We gonna beat down a wall?"
”Oh yeah, we’re gunna beat it and beat it good,” Kast will help beat it after renewing any of his magics that need renewing. He won’t tire himself out while doing it, giving others plenty of time to either help out or recover before entering the reliquary.
The wall of force is breached sufficiently to proceed to the next doors and chamber if you wish.
Seamus notices however that the wall sections you've broken away, are slowly rejoining - like a slow moving gel. The wall is repairing itself!
It'll take some minutes, so it's not an immediate problem, but something to consider... you will be sealed in.
"A self repairing wall of force? Well, what can go wrong?" the blue dragon squeezes through to access the other side "Maybe we finally found Karzoug's kissing room"
Pachemu follows along, staff at the ready.
Izomandakus pushes open the doors to reveal a trio of cloud giants lead by a lamia (image)! She stands on the air 10' above her front liners. She also has 6 mirror images lazily spinning around her.
Harridans are manipulators and slave takers, the spiritual leaders of the lamyros race’s dark faith. Megalomaniacal and corrupt, these giant lamias obsess over control, seeking to bend all they encounter to their will through lies and subtlety, brute force, or magic. Fewer in number than even the rare lamia matriarchs, harridans are the cunning masterminds of their race and all other lamias rightly fear and obey these powerful and cruel despots.
- - -
Pillars of gold support the arching ceiling of this room. The northern wall bears a particularly detailed mural that shows Xin-Shalast at its height, with the face atop Mhar Massif appearing to address its citizens as magical runes and spirals of energy emerge from its open mouth.
Yet even this impressive work of art is overwhelmed by what towers in the center of the room - an immense, slowly rotating, thirty-foot-diameter sphere of gold, its surface shimmering with strangely sluggish flames. A stone walkway with a set of stairs leads up to the side of the sphere, where a five foot wide ramp leads up to a ten foot wide platform balanced precariously atop of the globe, from which a shimmering pillar of golden light shines up to the ceiling above.
But first, hostilities!
Kast examines the waiting quartet.
Know (Nature)
She will not be easily seduced. Perhaps something extolling Karzoug?
- - -
Dismissing the heightened awareness for some extra prescience, Izomandakus quickly reaches up for Seamus, casting greater invisibility on him "Just get them!"
Meanwhile, Pachemu produces the fire wand and tries to shove the lamia's images with some scorching beams.
A scorching ray of fire comes out of the wand towards the lamia!
+2 if within circle vs evil

Nodding in agreement with Izomandakus when his friend observes the wall repaires itself, Seamus moves with Izomandakus and Pachemu towards the doors. As the doors open, Seamus, seeing the giants and centaur lady, quickly moves over the treshold both weapons ready, telling his friends "The giants are mine!" His blades flashing, first he attacks the giant on the right, then the giant on the left.
Seamus stabs blue repeatedly, leaving it scarcely standing. Izomandakus improves Seamus’s dangerousness, as Pachemu struggles to hit the lamia.
Pachemu’s fiery bolt flies at the lamia, who should surely be hit by it! However, whisky spirits spring up around her and attempt to immolate themselves in the fire and so protect her!
vs DC 50
...and the war pig persists and scorches a mirror image!
The three giants each attack as best they can, targeting the great dragon before them with their morning stars.
Only one hit in the bunch, but it's for a few (non magical so DR (?) applies). One image too is cut out from the herd.
The matriarch summons forth a blade barrier across the door! As it’s all giant to the west of the blade barrier, if you make the save, you must ‘bounce’ easterly of the wall. Seamus, Reflex DC 25 to avoid…
Attacking through the wall is possible, but it does provide a +4 to AC.
She also quickly casts suggestion, suggesting rather reasonably that Rastaf join her by her side. Will DC 23 or comply, incurring the blade barrier (reflex for half of 14d6) and AoO’s along the way to their goal! As the giants are not supportive of this request, you will need a way past them, or you can try to tumble through them. Waiting until they fall to the blades of the party is not an option. :)
Kast waits to see what happens to Rastaf before acting.
GMPC Rastaf...
vs DC 23
The priest stands resolutely avoiding the suggestion.
Round 1
Kast casts his own Blade Barrier in response, targeting the four foes. It's circular and should create fun for those giants that wish to stand near the door.

Izomandakus sees Kast's wrathful force blades and adds a tar pool on the giants feet so they do not get easily away of the flashy things.
Feeling a real champion after shattering one of the lamias, Pachemu goes for more, with another use of the wand.

Seeing the flashing of the blades, Seamus quickly jumps back. Watching the timing of the blades from a short distance, he begins to calculate when he could stab at the giants. When he sees a second wave of blades go up and the giants shift, he pauses, looking back at Kast asking, "How hard will it be to stab through your wall of blades as well?" Shrugging his shoulders he gave it an attempt, thrusting through the spinning blades at the nearest giant.
Val moves up to the frontline with Seamus. ”Let us see how this goes then.”

Kast fires up his own circular chainsaw to try and break up the giants. It works for the most part! SR (missed by 1) protects Most High Ceoptra, as she is known, but her lesser guardians scatter to try and avoid the damage.

Red and Green step away but blue is forced to sit and take it, at least until her turn - if she lives that long.
Seeing the giant fall, Seamus decides to try and hop through the blades and continue his invisible assault on the other Giant.
With the giants jumping out of the blades area and the lamia flying, Izomandakus decides not to cast the tar pool and instead opens his jaws vomiting a sparkling breath of electricity over the half-woman.

Rastaf moves up into position ready to heal as needed. Valena steps in and swings on blue, hitting despite the blade barriers. Kast pins down one of the giants in a whirling swirling blade barrier and opens up the room a little as the other two step away to avoid the circular wall. Seamus eviscerates blue, sending the giant to the ground - killing her outright. He then 5’ steps through the blade barrier to red and does grievous bodily harm with two more crits! Izomandakus breaths lightning upon the lamia, who smiles, ”You think I didn’t prepare?” she says in Thasselonian.
vs DC 27 for 26hp electrical damage, -30 resistance = no damage
Red swats at the invisible Seamus, trying to distract him at the very least.
Alas, his superior invisibility protects him from smashing!
Meanwhile green tries to thin Valena’s images.
No hits, but another image gone as the giants do what they can.
Ceoptra, or just ‘Most High’ reaches down and casts Heal on the red giant, substantially reversing her injuries (heal 140hp). She steps up, eagerly anticipating battle.
She also quickly casts suggestion, suggesting rather reasonably that Izomandakus join her by her side. Will DC 23 or comply, incurring the blade barrier (DC 25 reflex for half of 14d6, plus the other blade barrier DC 24 reflex for half of 15d6).

"Oh, no, I did not came here for kisses" Izomandakus negates with his head "Not for lamia ones at the least"
"And let's see how you fear the next one without preparations" with a claw gesture and a complex arcane word in Draconic, the dragon unleashes the dismantling forces of greater dispel magic on the lamia.
Pachemu tries to use the wand once more without much success this time.

Val puts her faith in Cayden as she jumps through the blade barriers, emerging completely unharmed on the other side.
She then tumbles onto the pillar, moving up it with her slippers of spider-climbing.
She turns her hypnotic stare at the lead lamia and smiles. ”Hello, darling. That was terribly rude of you to go and heal your friend like that. I shall have to be stopping you now. Dreadfully sorry.” She lunges with a testing blow at the villainess.

Frowning as the centaur woman heals the giant, Seamus bites his tongue, so he doesn't give his location away. Making a mental note to thank Val for dealing with 'horse-girl' he redoubles his attack on the giant, attacking repeatedly with his rapier and long knife.
Rastaf stands by ready. Valena bursts through both blade barriers without a scratch, though she cannot lay a scratch of her own on the lamia. Kast only lands a single blow, but he makes it count with a crit! He’ll notice the fire damage doesn’t go through. Seamus digs in and overcomes the heal - and then some! Despite the healing, Seamus kills her outright. Izomandakus dispels many powerful magics from the poor lamia - much to her rage!
Valena exposes herself to attack as she rushes into position - though she dodges past the giant at least. However, Ceoptra gets a shot (before she loses her greater heroism).
Valena loses another image.
for 74hp damage
Greek keeps on Valena, though she’s now protected by a blade barrier.
I think Valena is miraculously hit once, and another image burst.
Out of suggestions, she swiftly casts heroism on herself for a little something at least. Shrilly she curses Izomandakus in Thassilonian though. Punctuating the foul mouth, comes a spell - Destruction!
vs DC 29
Fort DC 24 on Izomandakus or take 140hp damage. Succeed and take .
Izomandakus seems about to implode from within, but that one who has seen already the death, clings to life perhaps with more strength "Roooarrr! Not yet! There is so much pending to do!"
As he would not know what protections were removed, the blue dragon would squeeze a new electrical breath below Kast's legs, targeting the lamia.
Pachemu once more tries to fry the lamia with the scorching wand.

Pleased to see the giant fall, Seamus turned towards the final Giant. He'd told his friends he'd deal with the giants and he was two-thirds of the way there. With one giant left, Seamus moves under the battle raging above him. Smiling to himself, realizing invisibility was nice, he made a mental note to thank Izomandakus as he attempted to plunge the mithril long knife into the last giants groin.
Round 3
Kast strikes out at the lamia.

Rastaf seeing injuries abound, channels to heal. berp Valena swings brightly, but just barely misses. Kast stabbing through two blade barrier walls, also cannot connect. Seamus brings the fight to green, the poor woman hitting once. Izomandakus tries electricity again, but that protection remains in place he discovers.

Greek keeps on Valena, after a nod from the lamia to that effect.
Green manages to pop an image.
The lamia grins, and says in Thassilonian, ”Shall we dance?” She then proceeds to attack Valena.
Then she swiftly casts Silence (noted with the funky blue spell circle on the map) as she strips Valena of her last images, and cuts into her a bit.
Izomandakus silently roars frustrated by the lamia.
Recognizing the the magics at play, he backs until he can hear his voice once again "A silence field, nice trick"
Flapping his wings there, he casts dimension door, trying to teleport himself just over the lamia's head.
Unable to use the wand, Pachemu just tries to menace the lamia with the magic rod.

Jerking the long knife from the giant's groin, Seamus's jaw drops when she keeps swinking at Val. Unable to control himself, he ignores the fact that he's supposed to avoid detection and blurts out, "What am I? Chopped liver?" Annoyed with the Giant, he attacks her repeatedly with both blades. Distracted by the insult, Seamus isn't happy with his results, especially after he realizes that he couldn't even hear himself.

Down to two images and she takes a hit from Kast, though not the crit. Nice feint Valena! Flat footed she is much easier to hit by all.

Rastaf moves through the first wall of blades to support Valena who feints successfully enabling a lost image and allowing two extra hits for Kast who would have missed more due to the double blade wall blocking his attacks. Seamus minces another giant, leaving the lamia alone. Izomandakus repositions himself on the battlefield (please move on the map) while Pachemu proves to be un-demoralizing at this time.
”Would you stop that you perfect bastard!” she shrills. She points at Kast, and casts Destruction.

”Would you stop that you perfect bastard!”
Kast looks up, astonished.
You think I’m perfect!? Kast might have said if he could have heard the taunt in the field of silence. I can’t believe she thinks I’m perfect! Ha! I’m still trying!
He ignores the fact that she knows that he cannot hear her, nor read lips.
Val grins as she has finally found a foe that actually makes her playful feints worthwhile. She tries another.

Smiling as the last giant falls, Seamus looks up at the flying cat-woman. Considering how he can help his friends he considers using the flying armor, But it seems like they have the fight in hand. Sheathing the rapier and long-knife, he draws out the returning spear.
Flying over the lamia's head, Izomandakus unleashes the dragon's fury on her "Well, you have me here, what now?!"
Pachemu, at the other side and silenced, just flaps her goyle-wings trying to figure out who is winning.

Jealous/Trusting (opposes necromancy): A union of abjuration and enchantment magic, a jealous weapon functions as a bane weapon against necromancers and against undead created by necromancy spells (not against self-manifested undead or undead created by the create spawn special ability). As long as the weapon is carried, it can absorb up to 3 negative levels inflicted on the wielder per day.
Valena hits once, and misses once - but due to the feint pops an image! Kast misses due to cover, but also pops an image - her last...
Rastaf holds for now, ready to heal Valena should she fall (he can’t reach her and is saving channels). Valena feints again, making the Most High incredibly easier to hit! Kast misses due to cover, but come close enough to relieve her of her last image. Seamus switches weapons, trusting in his allies. Izomandakus also takes advantage of the lamia’s flatfooted nature to pound on her, though his attacks are affected by DR which lessen their impact.
She can’t keep getting hammered, so she focuses on Valena to try and stop her feinting.
Then she casts her last quickened Cure Serious (and no more Destructions either!).
She's frustrated by her luck this round and fails to stop Valena's distractions!

Val is actually getting hurt for once, but she is also feeling extra reckless due to her impaired wisdom, so she does not lose even a touch of momentum.

Having finished drawing his spear, Seamus looks up at the creature and realizes Val is wounded. Shaking his head, he hoped they finish the thing quickly. Moving forwards so he's just about under the centaur like thing, he chucks the spear at her hoping he can't miss point blank.
Spirits come from the ether to try and block the ranged attack.
vs DC 50
... and the spear goes through and hits the poor flat-footed lamia!
"Grrrl, Valena!" Izomandakus pounds over the lamia, trying to keep it from killing his friend.
