Zog's shot misses.
Veldrid (yellow) attempts to cast a spell on Waze to prevent him from approaching closer.
Waze, Will save (DC 13): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
The wayang wizard succumbs to a fit of manic laughter, collapsing into gales of convulsive giggles, falling prone.
The helmed dwarf then tries to put some distance between her and Annissa, slipping into the mist.
Wounded, shaken, and unable to land a blow, Helven steps back into the mist and retrieves a scroll.

The combined efforts of the Eylysia's allies drops Veldrid (yellow).
Helven looks horrified for a moment, but it is soon replaced with a look of grim determination.

The wizard's shot impacts with helmed Helven falls to the ground, unconscious, and defeated.
COMBAT OVER
Suddenly, the library around you appears to shimmer, the items within begin to slightly distort as the vision wavers.
Eylysia smiles at you all, observing, “That went differently this time."
The gnome's form, too, begins to shimmer and distort, as if being slowly drawn away, but not before a smile can be seen clearly on her face. Eylysia's words seem to echo around the room even after her body fades from view.
"I like this ending better..."
As the gnome Pathfinder's words reverberate in your mind, you are instantaneously overcome by a flash of insight, which you know with certainty must be the past’s true events:
You see an injured Zaul fleeing the battle, abandoning the others as he disappears into the strange mist swirling around the library.
Only one of Eylysia’s companions remains visible. Her remaining companion, the gnome wizard Fimbrik the Illusionist, sends a crackle of spell energy at Veldrid that drops the masked dwarf to the ground where she disintegrates into motes of color that the unstable magic quickly devours.
A badly wounded Helven points his blade at Eylysia and stalks towards the defiant gnome woman.
"Your secrets cannot remain hidden forever!" Eylysia cries, before tapping a foot on the ground and vanishing. The broken strands of magical mist explode in a whirlwind of rainbow light as Eylysia’s vision concludes and the battered, old spell finally ends.
As the final vision fades, the you once again find yourselves in the library that you had entered and fully within the present. The forms you and your companions bear are again solely your own--free of injury or blindness.
Before you stands Kreighton Shaine and the two helmed members of the Decemvirate. The Master of Scrolls steps forward and inquires with great interest and curiosity, "You have all experienced a vision of some kind?"
M Kobold Gunslinger (black powder vaulter, bushwacker) 1 | HP 11 | AC 16, T 14, FF 13 | CMD 11 | F +2 R +5 W 3 (+5 v smoke) | Init +3 | Perc +9 (LLV, can see through non-magical smoke) | Stealth +11 (+2 in overgrown areas) | Spd 30ft
"It turns out Eylysia had good reason to try to kill the Decemvirate of the past. It turns out that at least three of them are evil! You might want to go deal with that. Should be the Three-spired helm, the Stag-helm, and the Domino mask."
The art you have is of the wrong one; that's Sapphire, not the Domino mask
| HP 25/25 | AC 16, T 12, FF 14 | CMD 18| F +5 R +2 W -1 (+2 v enchant) | Init +4 | Perc +5 (LLV) | Spd 40ft | Rage 8/8 rounds | Active Conditions: Rage, Idina's blessing.
Annissa shakes her head out of her reverie and nods in agreement with Zog.
"It was... unsettling. The stag-helmed one fled, the gnome destroyed the domino-masked dwarf, and the last... I'm not sure their fate."
Male N Wayang Wizard (Spellslinger) 3 | HP 23/23 | AC 14 T 14 FF 11 | CMB 0, CMD 13 | F: +3, R: +4, W: +4 [+2 vs shadow subschool]| Init: +3 | Perc: +3, SM: +1 | Speed 20ft | Spells: 1st 3/3, 2d 2/2 | Shadow Speaker 3/3 | Active conditions: None.
What the hell it was the wayang was unsure. But it’s finished now. That he can say. Let’s hope so anyway.

The cleric remains quiet listening to the others and looks at the reaction of the Master of Scroll.

"The vision that you describe," notes Kreighton Shaine. "Would appear to be one of the past," "Those members of the Decemvirate currently present have no interest in dragging up old feuds. They simply wish to know what truly happened."
'Zog' Redclover wrote: The art you have is of the wrong one; that's Sapphire, not the Domino mask I could not find any art for the Domino mask, so went with a picture of another female member of the Decemvirate. My apologies for any confusion.
Upon hearing the story, the two masked Decemvirate members turn towards each other as though sharing a silent conversation. In the strangely neutral voices produced through the magic of the masks, one member of the Decemvirate declares, “These secrets have remained hidden for too long—from the Decemvirate and the Society both. In doing so, the organization defamed an upstanding agent. What we have learned here grants us an opportunity to correct past crimes."
One of the helmed Decemvirate produces a wand.
"This is a wand of detect secret doors. Please take it," they offer, "May it serve as a concrete acknowledgement, that secrets do not remain so forever, and that each day opens a new door and provides a new opportunity to address old wrongs that have been brought to new light."
The other member of the Decemvirate chimes in, "Well done, Pathfinders.” With this, the two masked figures turn and exit the library. "No doubt, the Society will soon have more tasks for each of you."
FIN
Thank you all for playing! I hope you enjoyed your PbP experience at PaizoCon!
I plan to post a link to PC Chronicles in the next day, although I believe I still need a Day Job roll for Annissa. If any information on the sign-up sheet needs corrected, please do so as soon as possible. Thank you all again and I look forward to sharing a table with each of you in the future!
