[dice=Burning Hands]1d4 Technically 4 since swarms take 1.5x damage from AoE damage DC 16 Reflex for half damage
You could hit all three if you move forward an additional 5'. Since Ken'ichi moved back, you could've done the delay tango with him to wait to move forward until he moved back.
The troglodyte, obviously confused, turns to the crocodile and screams.
Draconic:
"AH! MONSTER! GET IT AWAY!"
He slashes down with his flame blade on the adjacent crocodile, burning it.
The crocodile rushes away, hoping to get away from its master. It rushes up to the tengu. Double move
What's left of the spider swarm moves up towards Petro. Some manage to find their way into his armor and bite down. 2 points of damage. DC 11 Fortitude save or be poisoned.

Seeing the swarm still existing, Orla grits her teeth, steps forward (since Ken'ichi had stepped back, and because she weighs almost nothing by comparison) and her eyes gloss over in black again as she utters, "I said burn," and unleashes a gout of flame straight forward which catches the swarm and extends to hit the Troglodyte.
Burning hands:1d4 ⇒ 3
DC 16 Reflex save for 1/2 damage for both targets and 1.5 times damage to the swarm
Neither Sombra nor Evelyn can seem to hit their respective targets.
Balenar continues to sing. His voice carries throughout the room. +1 competence bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls.. The magic in his voice lulls the crocodile. Cast Daze on the crocodile.
?:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
And the crocodile stops in place, mid bite. It looks around at Ken'ichi then back to its master then at the other Pathfinders.
While the bard dazes the crocodile, Kelleran blasts the troglodyte again. He screams in pain and curses in Draconic.
Then Orla blasts the swarm (and the troglodyte) with a ray of fire.
The spider swarm fizzles - the remaining spiders scatter into any crevice they find. The troglodyte suffers from severe burns and some of his clothing sizzles away.

"Apologies, friend," Ken'ichi speaks softly to the crocodile, "but your spirit is being tainted by your master. It must be freed to be renewed." He makes a long, deep, vertical slash down at the animal.
A single missile flies from Kelleran's wand. All seems quiet for a second as it sails right through the troglodyte's heart. The troglodyte looks up in horror before all life drains from it's face.
Draconic:
[b]"You'll regret this....."
The troglodyte and the crocodile lie in bloody heaps. Right by the throne is a large wooden chest. Evelyn quickly gives it a glance - not trapped. Opening it up, she finds a very finely crafted shortsword (masterwork quality), 15 cold iron shurikens, two flasks, two potions, a wand, a gem, and 247 gp in assorted coins. The troglodyte has four darts, a finely crafted scimitar (masterwork quality), and a cloak.
Feel free to roll spellcraft checks for the following: the flasks, potions, wand, and cloak.
Well done, all. Any wounds that need tending to...outside of my upset stomach?Petro asks before taking a swig of water to clean out his mouth. He checks the items.

As I posted in the Discussion tab, Sombra can use his Arcanist exploits to swap out his last Color Spray for a Burning Hands and then boost that spell to CL 3 so the 3d4 +50% damage should be enough to fry the bats. We could set the encounter to be someone opens the door with Sombra on a 'ready' to cast Burning Hands when the swarm gets within range. If someone else wanted to 'ready' with an Alchemist's Fire just in case the damage roll on the Burning Hands stinks wouldn't be a bad idea.

So we have 2 'free' acid flasks for use vs. the swarm of bats. I say we hit the room, kill the swarm, and see if there's any loot. Plus it helps max out the XP. :)

Orla can use the wand of summon monster if we want to give the swarm a target other than the group members in case we need a second round to finish them off.

Petro open the door (lowest touch to-hit of the party) and Orla and someone else as acid flask throwers, Sombra on the Burning Hands, and we're good to go! :)

It actually does not help with the XP, as we get one for finishing the adventure (which was probably taking out the head trog and/or saving the bard.
Still new to PFS so that's good to know but I'd guess if there's any treasure/items in the room we'd lose access to it for not 'finding' it? It's a low-risk encounter and I think Petro already cooked some bats before we closed the door on them.

As previously stated Sombra used his Quick Study Arcanist exploit to swap his remaining Color Spray for Burning Hands.
Sombra waits for the door to be opened and readies to cast Burning Hands that has been augmented to caster level 3 using another Arcanist Exploit Potent Magic to increase the damage of the spell.
Burning Hands:3d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 2) = 8
Since AoE damage does 50% more to swarms, the swarm would take 12 points of fire damage.
Save DC is 14.
The Pathfinders search the room but unfortunately don't find anything more than bat guano. Then Balenar comes in. Hidden beneath some rubble, he pulls out a potion of cure light wounds.
The Pathfinders leave the Fallen Fortress with Balenar in hand. Though he's still wobbly on his feet, everyone makes it safely back to Absalom. "Why don't we go to the Grand Lodge? I'll sponsor membership for anyone not already a Pathfinder... but looks like most of you already are. I hope we run into each other again out there. May need to take a month break to recover... I'll never get that troglodyte smell out of my nose."
Feel free to roleplay, but the game is pretty much done!

That's a good idea. Thanks for your help, Balenar. I think the first round is on you at the lodge. And I think I might have to invest in a scrubbing brush for my nose to get rid of the smell. Or get the head priest to exorcise the smell through magic... the cleric jests.

Sorry about the delay and I'll have a 1st level something so just start moving us along. Is it still the rule in PFS one can change a character as long as it is 1st level? I just don't want to mess up a spellbook.

Won't the items found be on the Chronicle Sheet? I haven't played many PFS mods but that seems to be how it's worked with the few CS I've received.

I know. In that way it works like LG but, as Mauve pointed out, none of these items are on the CS so they aren't available for purchase afterwards either. Although the dagger and shield are always available but it's a shame about the banner.

The banner probably isn't a special item, other than for story purposes. Only reason I grabbed it was because it seemed like something that Ken'ichi might invest some time in.

well, there are two answers to your question, Evelyn. They are related, however. First, The pharoah said it...but can't remember the exact quote verbatim. Second, Metallica used it in Creeping Death...
So that was the last combat unless anyone wants to go back to fight the bats. Hope everyone had fun! Can work on the chronicle sheets tonight.
This game is for OSP credit, which means the possibility for boons! The way it works is that I submit the game to OSP and the organizers will roll for boons. If you win, they will email you what you win. If you are interested, feel free to PM me your email.
If anyone has any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.

I wouldn't mind trying the bats since I can swap out his last Color Spray for Burning Hands and, with another Arcanist exploit, power the Burning Hands to CL 3. Obviously I could roll horribly low but it should (with the 50% bonus damage vs. swarms) be enough to fry the bats.

I'm good to go either way with the swarm. Orla can be the door opener or throw a flask if we want to go that route.
Agreeing with the others, great game and a fun group :=)
Here are the chronicles! Please review to see if I need to correct anything. Looks like there's no downtime for this scenario unfortunately.
I'm missing Petro's PFS# and character#. Also missing emails from Kelleran, Evelyn, and Petro. Let me know if you're interested (or not) in any OSP boons. Feel free to PM me your email. Will leave this game active for another day or two if you guys have any questions.

If someone has been playing PFS for a while perhaps they can help me out. Sombra is my 2nd character but I made a goof in the system when I tried to enter my first character so Sombra is listed in the database as character #3. Which number should I use?

Thank you to GM Mauve for running this adventure and to all the other players for being so great and carrying my poor sickly character along for the ride. :)

I made the same mistake. My first character is actually my -4. And my second character is my -6. If Sombra is your -3, I say go with it for now. You might be able to email support to change it, but not 100% sure. I'll update your character sheet and will report it as your -3 charcter.
Also, still waiting on Petro's PFS and Character #.
