damage: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (7, 7) + 3 = 17
damage 2: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4) + 3 = 11

Azel's face just grows really grumpy at the whole situation and silently walks to an enemy proceeding to repeatedly hit the creature while yelling,"Don't you dare hurt any of us or our host. If you continue I've got a magic stick with your name on it."

Xun hits his drum. The music starts to fill the air. The beats are vivid and fast, motivating agents to fight.

Lingering Composition, inspire courage, performance, DC20: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26 Inspire Courage lasts 3 round

But the bard does not stop playing, a mist gathers around him as he pulls in power, one of the stones flies towards the enemy attacked by Azel

Damage, bludgeoning, inspire courage: 2d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 + 1 = 7

Xun, you forgot to roll initiative.

Initiative, perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Of course I did :D I rolled it and had half of my post ready, and then rewrote it whole;) Initiative roll did not stay. Sorry my bad

With light cast on his clothing, Arlo is too giddy about the temple to notice the Mephits in time to act.

Phineas is distracted by Arlo’s glowing clothing.

Acting quickly Azel has no problem moving across the oil-slicked floor to attack the blue Mephit smashing it twice with her staff the second blow is a critical hit. The blue Mephit spits out some teeth and grins at the hobgoblin.

Xun begins hitting his drum creating a toe taping fist smacking tune to rumble too. Then uses his magic to send a stone flying into the blue Mephit, just bearly hitting it in the chest.

The blue Mephit breaths a 15 cone of iron shards at Azel, then throws a fist punch hitting the hobgoblin hard it chuckles evilly.
(reflex DC19 save vs 15 dam basic & 1d6 bleed on fail)

The Green Mephit moves up and breaths on Xun, Phineas, Lumki, and Onyx. Lumki takes some damage and is still standing, but is not bleeding.
(reflex DC17 save vs 5 dam basic & 1d6 bleed on fail)

Status (hero Points): *** Combat Mode *** (Inspire Courage 3r-1=2)

Xun Saburo: (2) - +5?= ?? Dam (reflex DC17 save vs 5 dam basic & 1d6 bleed on fail)

Steel Mephit Green:

Slick Floors: Each time a PC Strides across the floors in this room after the mephits drops the oil, they must succeed at a DC 15 Acrobatics check at the start of the movement or take a –10-foot circumstance penalty to their Speed for the rest of the round.

Everyone can act now. Remember the Slick Floor acrobatics check if you move.

Reflex Save, DC17, orc superstition: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 1 = 30
Reflex Save, DC17, Onyx: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Xun charms hanging on his clothing begins to tremble and glow as the Mephit attacks.

Xun dodges the attack but he does not turn his attention at the Mepthit at hand. Instead, he attempts to finish off the blue one slinging another piece of rubble at him

Telekinetic Projetile@blue, inspire courage: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 1 = 25
Damage, bludgeoning, inspire courage: 2d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 5) + 4 + 1 = 11

Then he change a tune of his music letting a green mist concentrate around him making it harder for enemies to hurt him.

Telekinetic Projectile & Shield

reflex: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
attack 1: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 11 + 1 = 26

damage 3: 2d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8, 1) + 3 + 1 = 13

Azel winces at the punch while dodging the cone of iron shards. Staring at the mephit she continues beating on the mephit yelling,"Why do you clang? Why do you attack us? What are you? Why are you such a JERK?"

Round 1- Phineas

Reflex vs Mephit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Phineas concentrates and casts Produce Flame, flinging it at the northern mehphit!

Produce Flame: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14 for 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 = 9 fire damage! He then strides adjacent to the fiend!

"Okay guys, as far as I know, they're not resistant to regular attacks, so go wild!"

While Azel is taking care of the Blue mephit, Arlo focuses on the Green one up ahead. More cold winds appear as he casts another icicle into existence, then hurls it at Green.

Ray of Frost, Inspire Courage: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 = 28
Blue has cover, but that's for the GM to calculate.
Cold damage, Inspire Courage: 2d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 + 1 = 11

Onyx avoids the worst of the steal breath weapon, while Xun avoids all damage. The Half-Orc uses telekinetic magic to sling another piece of rubble at the blue Mephit hitting it hard. Then shield himself with magic. The blue Mephit is still alive.

Azel avoids most of the damage from the blue one’s breath, then strikes back hitting twice really hard. It falls to the ground dead as Azel continues to punch and yell at it.

Phineas isn’t as lucky as the others and takes the full effects of the breath as well as bleeding wounds. The sorcerer sends a bolt of fire at the green Mehphit barely hitting it. It screeches as the flames wash over it. The wound bleeds just a little before stopping.

Arlo focuses on the green Mephit hitting it critically with a frost ray and killing it outright.

***** Combat over *****

Lumki sits down and starts to bandage her wounds.

You can take time to heal before continuing.

Xun looks around and breathes the air out. He says to Onyx

"Take the watch Onyx!" he sits on the ground and takes out his second instrument flute. He play a soothing song.

Xun refocus, letting Arlo shine with his medical skills ;) If by any chance he fails he would aid with Hymn of Healing

Azel just stares at the corpse and says," See. Told you e
we're making a mistake."

Wincing at pain from the attacks she endured she turns to the party smiles and says," Phineas you first. I want to make sure your nice and healthy first. "

Gordy just looks at her and says," You know you got beat up pretty badly you might want to heal yourself first."

Upon hearing Gordy Azel just glares at him.

Natural Medicine DC 15
nature: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14
Hahaha... There's the bad luck I was anticipating.
Reroll

healing: 4d8 ⇒ (3, 1, 2, 8) = 14

"Phew, that went by quickly! Good job, everyone! Azel, I'm impressed you took down that other one all by yourself! Come here, let me treat you..."

Arlo gets out his healing tools and starts bandaging up Azel.

Medicine, DC15: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Healing for Azel: 2d8 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

I have Continual Recovery, so I can immediately patch you up again.

Medicine, DC15: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Healing for Azel: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 7) = 15

Oh, and I've been ninja'd by Azel. :P
I also have Ward Medic, so I can treat two people at once, if need be.

I just figured it would be amusing if we both start bandaging each other.

Azel just beams at the compliment. "Thanks... I was a bit apprehensive but I guess I'm a bit stronger and hardier than I thought," she says a bit excitedly.

Also OOC I was a bit worried as this is the first time I've had her out in a situation where she was the primary tank.

"Phew, that went by quickly! Good job, everyone! Azel, I'm impressed you took down that other one all by yourself! Come here, let me treat you..."

Hearing that Xun stops playing and give halfling a look

"All by herself, sure." says as he continues to play

Xun send two telekinetic projectiles at that foe, So wild 18 points of damage out of 84 was his :P Not counting the inspire courage :D Put some mustard on that words and eat it Mr. Rumble :P

Azel kind of seizes up and turns to Xun and says,"I'm sorry you did a great deal amount of work too. Also that singing was really good. As good a goblin's song. It reminded me of the good parts of home."

Yeah the bard is always the unsung hero of adventures.

"Ah, sorry Xun, I didn't mean it like that. I just think it's very brave to stand in between the enemy and us by yourself.
"Also, Azel, you're still slightly bleeding. Want me to patch that up as well, or are you fine?"

Om nom nom words.

Gordy replies,"Brave or foolish?"

Azel just sort of stares at the gourd leshy and replies,"Argg.... If you weren't so cute...."

Gordy then responds,"Hey. We both know you had that situation handled. I just like needling you like a pine cone."

Azel kind of sighs and replies to Arlo,"I'll be fine. I don't think those scrapes are going to do me in."

"I'm alright, just a bit bruised. Shall we delve deeper into this observatory of omens?" Phin quips.

Azel's eyes go wide. Gourdy just stares at her master and says," Did you just heal the wrong...."

Azel just nods at the goofy realization that she healed the wrong person and quietly casts heal from her staff to fix her mistake.

Yup sorry about that Phineas. I meant to heal you not slap bandages on a perfectly healthy person. I'd imagine that's what the 1 represents. :P

After the battle with the Mephits the group rests up and bandages themselves, talking about the battle. Onyx takes point watching for more foes.

After 20 minutes the group starts looking around, to the left, the group finds a room is covered in a thick layer of dust, with the vague outlines of large pillows and other furnishings seemingly the only remains that the years have left to indicate what this room might once have been.

Lumki muses that it must have been the receiving hall where visiting Iruxi would lounge on large throw pillows while awaiting their turn to use the observatory’s telescope.

Continuing to explore the Oldstar Observatory your group finds the main center chamber.

This expansive chamber, though ancient and crumbling, was obviously once a beautiful sight. The high stone walls are carved with ornate designs depicting Iruxi gazing up at the night sky, and the decayed ceilings show the remains of what were once detailed depictions of the night sky.

A large platform situated in the north-central area of the hall once held a massive copper telescope aloft on a ridged base that allowed for various adjustments, but now the telescope lies in ruins, much of it apparently scavenged over the years. A platform with a rotating base sits near the opening in the wall that the telescope would have protruded through, its mechanisms long fused into a mass of rust. A soaring sheet of green-tinged bronze covers the majestic entryway on the eastern wall.

Each step into the observatory elicits crackling and groaning sounds from the floors and walls. The building seems solid enough, for the moment, but a jarring impact or damage to the ceiling’s supports might be all the impetus required to bring the building crashing down.

The gargoyle Paravaax rests in this chamber, perched on the edge of the central, pyramidal platform. His body is a solid, matted black statue comprised of pure lodestone. This close to his resting form you can feel the magnetic currents swirling around the gargoyle pushing and pulling at your gear.

There is also one steel mephit in the room keeping guard while Paravaax rests.

The rays of the setting sun can be seen shining in through holes in the building

How do you want to proceed? Currently, Paravaax is asleep and the steel mephit hasn’t noticed you yet.

Can we identify what Paravaax is? Occultism +6, Nature +6. But knowing my luck it is religion check

Xun looks inside the room wondering what to do as he holds his drum...

He tries to see if his experience can tell him something about the chamber...

Crafting +6

Identify, roar and run to battle?

"You think it's worthwhile to talk to the gargoyle? Maybe see if we can resolve this without violence? Maybe this whole thing is a misunderstanding?" Phin muses.

Xun studies Paravaax, your mostly sure it is a gargoyle. The columns around the room look pretty old and in need of repair, you estimate that if four of them were destroyed the whole building would probably collapse.

Phineas suggests talking to the gargoyle to resolve the misunderstanding.

"Yeah, I'd say try talking first. Considering he eats iruxi I don't fancy our chances, but we can always try. Besides, attacking a sleeping opponent feels wrong. At least give him a fair chance to explain and defend himself."

" If talking to him doesn't work then I can just hit him with my staff to make sure he stays down."

I read your posts and got myself thinking. Sure let someone talk to it. And then I realized, right I am the face of the party :D

Xun yells from the doorway. And beats on his drum

Diplomacy, make an impression: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

"Oh mighty Paravaax. We are the ones which walked the jungle to get here, we balanced the log, we swam as frogs, we sang the tales, we broke some heads. We fed the hungry and aid the needy. We came to you to discuss the problem that troubles us..."

"Sorry for waking you up, by the way," Arlo adds, trying to help.

Phin grins at Xun's flowery introduction. "And I am the Drink-Mixer who mixes the drinks! Would you like to taste a tasty beverage of beveragous taste?"

Arlo feels attacking a sleeping feels wrong.

Azel agrees to talk first and if that doesn’t work then pounding him with her staff would.

Xun agrees looking around for who should talk and everyone was looking at him.

The Half-Orc bard yells from the doorway and tapping his drum speaking of their journey to discuss a problem.

Arlo adds an apology for waking Paravaax.

Phineas adds his own introduction as a drink mixer

The mephit guard hiss in your direction and alert.

The gargoyle rouses from his slumber, his glowing eyes blinking lazily as he observes the group
“Ah, so I see I have visitors. Let me guess, you’re here to rid these poor iruxi of the big, bad monster?” the gargoyle says, smirking and waving a clawed hand dismissively at Lumki “You’re not the first fools to try.”

The beast stands upright, stretching his wings and limbs. “You see, I’m not just any monster. I am Paravaax, god among gargoyles. I’ve ruled this jungle for centuries. Do you expect to have the strength to drive me away?”

Paravaax studies your group for a moment, ” Still your bravery deserves recognition, How about this? I’ll strike you a deal. I’ll leave of my own volition and stay gone for five years’ time… If you leave me that Iruxi as a snack.” He points to Lumki licking his teeth with his tongue.

Azel just stares blankly at the absurd response of the gargoyle. " How? How is that a compromise? How about this? Either you leave or I'll hit you with this staff repeatedly until you can't move anymore," she yells at the top of her lungs.

Phineas shakes his head. "Why the hate for the Iruxi? What transpired between you that has caused this hatred?"

Azel stares blankly at the gargoyle’s offer and loudly offers to beat him with her staff.

Phineas shakes his head and asks why he hates the Iruxi?

Paravaax looks shocked by Azel’s outburst and Phineas comment, ” I don’t hate the Iruxi, I actually love Iruxi ... flesh. I consider it to be a delicacy.”

With Paravaax’s offer is refused, the gargoyle’s “reasonable” façade crumbles and he becomes extremely aggressive. He snarls, “Well, someone will serve as my meal!”

The steal Mephit delays to see who Paravaax’s attack not wanting to steal his kill.

Roll initiative, you can use perception as the default or diplomacy. If you roll greater than 21 you go before Paravaax and can post your actions. Otherwise, you have to wait.

Diplomacy as Initiative: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Phineas snarls, realising that this gargoyle is just an ashhole. His form blurs and becomes ape-like! Animal form into Phin-Ape! He strides forward on all fours, hooting angrily!

init: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
Hey... The jerk goes first.

Azel just stands their a bit flustered at the gargoyle's remarks and is a bit slow to react.

"What? These iruxi haven't done anything wrong! No way we're gonna let you eat one of them!"

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Hey... The jerk goes first.

Hey Don't call Phineas a jerk :P

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Xun was ready for that turn of events. He looks at the gargoyle and reaches to the waves of magic. He finds tormented spirits willing to come back and bring pain. Soon in the chamber a corpses rises from the ground moaning silently.

The zombie moves forwards and attacks the mephit with his fist

Attack@purple mephit: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Damage, bludgeoning: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Xun Casts Animate dead and brings Plague Zombie 30 ft from Xun and the undead walks the remaining 20 ft to attack.

Phineas snarls at the gargoyle as the Gnome transforms becoming ape-like and he strides forward.

Azel stands flustered as the jerk goes first.

Arlo isn’t going to let the Paravaax eat any more Iruxi

Xun ready for the battle releases a wave of magic that summons a corpse from the past to do battle for him. The zombie rises up and moving up the stairs to attack the Mephit.

Paravaax takes to the air and swoops down to attack the ape-gnome with his Jaws and claws while he is flying 5 feet up. Both attacks miss as the gargoyle hiss at the ape.

The Mephit uses magic to enlarge itself. Then strikes at the zombie hitting it with his large fist.

Anyone within 30 feet of Paravaax can feel a powerful, fluctuating magnetic field that makes anyone wearing armor comprised primarily of metal feel clumsy. Anyone attacking Paravaax with metal weapons, or a weapon whose primary striking surface is metal (like arrows) finds it more difficult to hit him. (metal armor = Clumsy 2, metal weapons -2 status penalty to hit)

Phineas having transformed into an ape has no such metal to be affected.

Everyone my act.

Xun is all surrounded by mystical powers his hands hit the drum as the music begins to fill in space.

"Show no fear! This overgrown bird will not scare us!"

Inspire courage, lingering, DC20: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 Darn it, 1 round inspire courage.

He then whistles at Onyx and points the Paravaax. Onyx runs around the pillar and tries to bite the gargoyle

Attack, jaws@Paravaax, inspire courage: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23
Damage, piercing, inspire courage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Seeing how Onyx provides a distraction for Phineas, Xun now focuses on maintaining the Zombie. He keeps on sending magic to keep it going

Attack@Mephit, fist, inspire courage: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 1 = 15
Damage, bludgeoning, inspire courage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8

Ok I forgot bot, when zombie hits it spreads:
Zombie Rot (disease, necromancy) An infected creature can’t heal damage it takes from zombie rot until it has been cured of the disease. Saving Throw DC 18 Fortitude;

1st: Inspire Courage + Lingering COmposition (failed
2nd: command an animal (Onyx): move& attack
3rd: sustain a spell (Plague Zombie): attack&attack

Oh boy, I don't like the look of that big mephit. Onyx doesn't stand a chance. Let's fix that."

Arlo starts casting a spell, and soothing wind now surrounds him. He points at the big mephit, and the wind envelops it.

Cast Calm Emotions. The DC is 19. I secretly hope he makes it, so that -1 to to hit sticks around. I angle it in such a way that only the mephit suffers from it.

With his last action, Arlo prays to Gozreh, and Phin feels slightly better for a moment.

Last action to cast Guidance on Phin.

Phin-ape hoots his defiance at the gargoyle! He strikes!

Fist, Inspired, Guided, Flanking: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 1 = 22 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1, 6) + 1 + 1 = 9 damage!
Fist, Inspired, Guided, Flanking: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 - 5 = 21 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1) + 1 + 1 = 5 damage!
Fist, Inspired, Guided, Flanking: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 10 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 - 10 = 17 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2) + 1 + 1 = 7 damage!

Guidance is only a single roll. And I just checked, both Inspire and Guidance are Status bonuses, which don't stack. My bad. :(
I also wanted to add you forgot to include flanking, but that's on the GM's end this edition. :P

1-move
2-ray of frost on big bad
attack: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 1 = 22
damage: 3d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4, 2) + 4 + 1 = 12

Azel indignantly moves up and fires a ray of ice towards to gargoyle. "Take that you big jerk," she yells out.

Xun fills the air with mystical drum music inspiring courage in his allies.

Onyx moves to attack Paravaax, while the dog does connect his jaws don’t seem to get through the stone-like skin of Paravaax.

As Onyx closes the gargoyle’s clawed feet slashes out at the dog from end to end slaying it. Onyx shrinks back into a statue form.

The Rotten Zombie slams both fists into the Mephit killing the large creature.

Arlo didn’t like the big mephit, and seeing poor Onyx didn’t have a chance, the halfling tries to calm Paravaax with magic. Paravaax mostly resists the calm magic. Arlo finishes by sending guidance to Phin.

Phineas the ape hoots as he slashes at Paravaax hitting with just the first one. It’s like punching stone. A few cracks form on the skin where the gargoyle was lightly wounded.

Azel moves up and sends a magic ray of frost at Paravaax. The ray hits causing a patch of frostbite on his stony skin. The Gargoyle hiss at the hobgoblin.

Snapping out of the Calming magic due to the violent attacks, Paravaax bites, and claws at ape-Phin. The bite misses, but the claw scrapes across the ape leaving an angry wound. The gargoyle continues to hover 5ft in the air.

The bard scowls on Onyx being smacked.

Xun keeps on drumming, inspiring others.

Lingering composition, inspire courage, DC20: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 Oh Darn it!

The music does not stick around, could be the gargoyle or the acoustics of the chamber.

Xun keeps on commanding the undead to go and attack Paravaax

Fist@paraavax, inspire courage: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 1 = 30
Damage, bludgeoning, inspire courage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 = 6

Ok, second nat 20 in this fight. Go Zombie, Go! However now we got 1 for damage :(

Then Xun builds a shield of magic in front of him

damage 2: 2d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1) + 3 + 1 = 9

"Wait???!!! The small one is the gargoyle. The small one is the gargoyle???? He's the one causing all the trouble...."

Phin-Ape hoots his anger as the badgoyle slashes him. He uses the pain to press his attacks!

Fist vs Gargoyle, inspired: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 = 20 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 1 + 1 = 8 damage!
Fist vs Gargoyle, inspired: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 - 5 = 23 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2, 2) + 1 + 1 = 6 damage!
Fist vs Gargoyle, inspired: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 10 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 1 - 10 = 3 for 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3, 5) + 1 + 1 = 10 damage!

Oh, I might've confused things on the map. My intent was to cast Calm Emotions on the mephit, not Paravaax, but never mind. The mephit's down anyway.

Arlo moves closer and tries to angle his next spell. "How dare you defile the temple of Gozreh! May he strike you down with rot and blight!"

Cast Sudden Blight. The Zombie would heal from it, right? In that case, I'll try to include him as well. Basic Fort save for Paravaax, DC 19.

Negative energy damage: 2d10 ⇒ (9, 1) = 10

"He's too tough for our physical attacks. Try more magic!"

Xun scowls when Onyx is struck down, he continues to inspire courage. He commands the undead to attack Paravaax. As it shambles up to the gargoyle it gets a claw to the face as it moves to the space below and adjacent to the gargoyle . (special reaction) The slashing wound seems to hurt the zombie more than it would a creature. The uncaring zombie strikes out critically punching Paravaax. The foe Hisses ”You will all die by my hand your resistance is foolish!”

From a distance, the gargoyle looks small compared to the enlarged Mephit. Azel is surprised that the smaller of the two foes is Paravaax. The hobgoblin moves in to attack with her staff, but she misses with both swings.

Phin-Ape hoots and presses his attacks on Paravaax hitting with his second fist. The gargoyle’s skill is hard as a rock, it doesn’t appear that any damage got through!

(Mephit died before Arlo cast Calm, so I retargeted the spell)
Arlo moves closer yelling at Paravaax as he cast Blight magic on the Zombie fully healing it with negative energy. He advises the group to attack it with magic instead of physically.

Paravaax revels in the battle as he bites at the ape/Phin and claws at Azel. As attacks miss, the gargoyle flies back around a column.
(if Azel, Arlo, or zombie can make an Attack of Opportunity he's provoking.)
