Wolstine begins concentrating, casting a spell that manifests a Nixie Next to Irves, within the water bubble. Once the creature appears, she tells it in Sylvan to help Irves breath underwater. The creature waves it's arms in the water and touches Irves.

Hopper swims backward and takes out two more bombs that he throws, one at Perezia the other at Nixie. "I seem to get hang of it. Swim and throw, swim and throw!"
Move and throw 2 bombs, Wolfie uses 1 action to run around the water.
Jeeves sends magic missiles into the hemisphere, rippling through Perezia.
Wolstine summons a fey, who then casts a spell.
Khunbish is required to make a wish - a wish for power, a wish for wealth, or a wish for happiness. You can make your actions as usual afterward. To speed things along, I'll post the results for all three wishes, but only open the one you choose.
Wish for Power:
Perezia twists the words of Khunbish's wish. He is fatigued for 1 hour.
Wish for Wealth:
Perezia twists the words of Khunbish's wish. His pockets fill with junk and he is encumbered for 1 hour.
Wish for Happiness:
Perezia twists the words of Khunbish's wish. He is sickened for 1 hour (no retch possible).
Hopper throws a bomb at Perezia, which hits; and a bomb at Red, which misses.

Although non-verbal, the now animalistic Khinbish-Snake rears up and bears its fangs, wishing for power to put down its enemies!
I imagine that a normal Khunbish and a transformed one might react differently.
Instead, the large snake form suddenly seems to keel over in exhaustion, but Khunbish-Snake pulls himself back up. Regardless, he swims back towards Perezia and strikes again.

Irves struggles through the water towards the large genie and again, attempts to chomp down on her.
Raznik healed himself 17 points with his healing potion.
Edited the tracker - sorry!
---
Snake-Khunbish makes a wish, but Perezia twists his words and he looks fatigued. He bites Perezia, but she pulls her arm away at the last second. She doesn't dodge Irves, though.
Perezia looks at Red. "See to this wound, will you, dear?" She then looks back at the assembled Pathfinders. "I don't see why you'll murder my nixies but you won't murder Corvius for me."
She steps back and stabs at Khunbish with her trident.

Seeing the nixies continue to heal Perezia, Jeeves calls out to his friends, "Fellow pathfinders, perhaps we should focus attacks on her helpers, so Perezia doesn't have heal support?" He steps forward.
Inspired by Wolstine's song, Jeeves focuses on the two nearest nixies and mutters, "electric eel". Sparks of electricity slither into the water from his fingertips.

Raznik growls at Jeeves. "What you think Raznik doing?" He races around the outside of the water bubble, spotting the green nixie as weakened prey. The goblin hunter fires two more arrows at it.
Raznik's first arrow crits, and Green looks near death.
Perezia sees that Green is about to die. "My dear nixie, you're about to die, and you have healing powers within you ... so be sure to heal me before you go."

Jeeves cheers when Raznik skewers the green nixie with an arrow. "Oh, good show, Master Raznik! Maybe Hopper, Khunbish, and Irves(sounds like a law firm)can finish it off before it can heal Perezia." Jeeves watches with anticipation.

The first bomb hits the nixie, jolting it with electricity.
Retcon: Because of turn order, I've gone back and made all attacks from Wolstine, Jeeves, and Raznik vs. Green flat-footed. Raznik's second shot hits, and drops Green.
The second one misses Red, but some of the ice splashes the nixie.

Cursing at himself for the poor tactics, Khunbish-Snake writhes through the water towards the one nixie which has not healed Perezia yet, commanding Irves to also come for this same creature.

Ignoring the creature swimming in front of him, Irves dog paddles through the water to flank his master's target, and attempts to bite down on her.

Determined to take down Perezia's support, Jeeves moves closer to the action. He says, "water wattage" and continues sending electric bolts of energy into the bubble at the two remaining nixies.

Then he downs his stonebody mutagen and swims forwards towards Perezia
"You have less and fewer friends, who will gonna heal you when they are gone? And by the way, we have monsters of our own, we don't need another one"
As he finishes the sentence his body begins to change as it would consist of stone.

Raznik cheers as he sees another Nixie go down. Confident the Pathfinder now get his tactics, the goblin makes a series of intense hand signs. He's either ordering them to focus on Perezia, or showing them how to lasso a duck. The goblin focuses on the remaining Nixie showing it his razorsharp teeth. "I eat you soon!" Then Raznik fires two arrows at it.

Twisting in the water, although not as graceful as his master, Irves swims past then lunges at the large humanoid, ignoring the small one behind him.
Hopper wants more wealth, but he knows better than to yell it out loud in front of an evil genie. Success on the Will save, no wish made.
Raznik tries to demoralize Perezia, but she's not a duck. Both of his arrows miss. It doesn't matter for this shot since it missed anyway, but the range should be halved, so it's 2nd range increment from where you currently are to where she currently is.
Khunbish bites twice, connecting ont he second try. Irves also sinks his teeth into her leg. Adding 1 damge to both for Inspire Courage.
Perezia starts to be concerned. "Okay, little playthings, fun time is over." She backpedals towards the far end of the bubble, and stabs back at Hopper and Irves.

Raznik gets no penalty on his second range increment against his hunted prey, so he should be able to hit anything within 60 feet even with the range halved. And I just want to check that Raznik missed both shots on the Nixie. He was still shooting at the Nixie, not Perezia, despite what he told everyone else to do.

No problem, Wolstine. Jeeves has 1 last focus point. With the GM's permission, Jeeves will Delay till everyone has gone during the current Round 5/6.
Jeeves nods to Wolstine when she asks about bardic inspiration. "I'm happy to assist, Madame Wolstine." The little gnome waits for his allies to take advantage of Wolstine's lingering music. After they've done their thing, he begins to sing loud and strong:
♫ The nixies are going down fast.
With arrows and spells being cast.
.....Such fine inspiration
.....Deserves an ovation.

Khunbish-Snake nods briefly at Wolstine to acknowledge the healing, but turns quickly to hiss at Perezia for attempting to escape. Being more nimble in water than the rest, he swims to her opposite side, then strikes again with his fangs.

Irves quickly paddles forward, then lunges at the genie.
Hopper's and Khunbish's wounds clot in less than a minute.
Combat over!
From behind the pillars on the far side of the room come crawling a variety of disheveled nobles. They thank the Pathfinders profusely.
The Pathfinders report back to Commander Suada Al-Sabri, who brings everyone rescued from the manor, including Corvius into custody for questioning. Sedeq plans to hold everyone who attended the event accountable for the collateral damage caused by the party.

Raznik jumps into the area where the water was and looks around disappointed at the lack of nixies. "Oh, I was hoping to taste one..."
Later, the goblin nods excitedly at Commander Suada Al-Sabri and begins telling him everything. Every little thing. "The little mephits were climbing on everyone and biting them, which tickeled and then hurt and then we used the fire! But Hopper is better at the alchemical fire than Raznik am. And Wolstine sing a tune to help us fight them. And then there was the scaredy cat people hiding from the genies. And they told us it was each others fault. Dima say it was worst party she ever been to. I don't know about worst but party that you end up hiding in closet it probably pretty bad. Unless it's one of those one which you kiss people in closet, then it's actually really bad! And they told us to look upstairs where there was like a tornado thin in the hallway that hit Raznik with music and it hurt! But Wolstine sing back at it and it got scared and went away. Then we find more scaredy people but they not blame Dima. Maybe that closet is time portal though because they there for weeks even though other people say party just a few days ago. And they tell us about Perezia giving people birthday wishes, but making them hurt instead. And then they tell us to clear out fart monsters, which we do, but they smells so bad! Like goblin breath sometimes. And the stinky mist-monster hurt Bitey and so I mad at it. And Khunbish is a bear and bites it. Khunbish probably likes honey and bees. When we done, funny hat cnome talks to Corvius and makes him like us so when we get rid of Perezia he give us cool spell even though Raznik not so the reading spells. But when we go upstairs Perezia ask us to dance and let us play in the water with her, but then we try to eat the nixie and they not like that even though they taste like sushi. So Perezia get mad but then we make her hurt and she goes bye bye."
This is how all Raznik's reports are. Poor Society secretaries.
The stenographer gives up halfway through Raznik's story, but Venture-Captain ibn Qaradi listens all the way through. "The Qadiran government is impressed with the Pathfinders’ work resolving this issue and I think they're ready to throw their full support behind the new Sedeq lodge."
On the way out of the city, the Pathfinders note that the wishcrafting magic has begun to dissipate and the manor loses its more outlandish changes.
End of scenario! You're welcome to continue roleplaying, as well as ask any questions about the scenario or the plot.
But the law firm of Khunbish, Hopper, and Irves finish her off. Jeeves jumps for joy. "Oh well done, everyone. Well done!" When the water disappears, he asks if anyone needs healing. He assists Wolfstine in administering Soothe spells to the injured.
When Corvius offers his Spellbook, Jeeves takes a close look at the Globe of Invulnerability spell and delivers it to Venture-Captain ibn Qaradi.
During Raznik's debriefing, Jeeves tries to follow along. Unsuccessfully. Perhaps a song of our glorious deeds. He strums his lyre and sings:
♫The team first met on the pier.
Two goblins, two elves, and a gnome.
A wolf and a cougar were near.
And an owl. A group far from home.
The location the party was told.
A mansion where genies did reign.
The party, so brave and so bold.
Met the owner: one Corvius Vayn.
But first, a mephit attack.
Surprised us before very long.
Wolfie and Irves, they fought back.
While Wolstine inspired with song.
A whirlwind then gave us hell.
The bards played some music to calm.
Then met a belker...the smell!
That Hopper is good with a bomb.
A marid -- half-genie, half-fish.
In water that filled a large room.
She tempted us each with a wish.
But it only led to her doom.
Rescuing nobles. A plus.
Reporters and crowds gave a cheer.
Admiration was surely for us?
Autographs after a beer.♫
Jeeves smiles to all, says his farewells, "It was an extreme pleasure working with all of you." He chirps, howls, and growls a goodbye to the animal companions, each in their native tongue. He then prepares to return back to The Surly Sailor pub in Absalom.

We are in the classic culture difference territory:

May we humbly request that you clear the first floor of any dangers? This manor is still our responsibility, and we will need to clean up after the party is completed.
khunbish wrote:
what we might find on the ground floor?
In different regions the counting of floors is different. In most European countries (that I know of) you start with:
Ground floor, 1st floor, 2nd floor etc.
So for me we entered at the ground floor where we fought swarms, and now we are on the 1st floor.
=================
But in some North American countries (US and Canada in the parts that I've been) they count:
1st floor, 2nd floor etc.
so there we entered on the 1st floor where we fought the swarms and now are on the second.
=================
So I think that in here we are talking about clearing the floor where we met the swarms right?
I'm American, so I've been writing everything in American conventions. I believe the scenario author is Canadian, so I'm pretty sure any box text is consistent with my interpretation.
First floor = the floor with the swarms, the nobles, and (just posted in Gameplay) this combat. In the slides, it's Slide 4.
Second floor = the floor with the stranded melody (hallway hazard) and servants. In the slides, it's Slide 7.
I interpreted Khunbish's request to be regarding the first floor / slide 4, but there's no other hazards they know of on the second floor / slide 7 either.

Khunbish -- the Liberating Command spell allows Irves an immediate reaction to attempt to Escape the grabbed condition. Might make a difference if he can do that before the beasts get a turn.

A second question: bombs in underwater combat. In theory, rules, as written, say nothing about thrown weapons, simply about fire and acid. Can Hopper use bombs in water?
If you would decide that throw bomb would not break, could he use them in melee range (break bombs on someone being next to them)

Bombs (except alchemist's fire) will work normally, but creatures have fire and acid resistance.
I'm not sure if it was intended or not for this to be the case - realism says they should have a shorter range than normal, but Paizo's had two chances to clarify this and they haven't, so ... *shrug*

Just a reminder that Hopper is likely on vacation by now. (It's still the 12th where I am, but I'm GMT-7 so it's the 13th in half of the world.) I'll bot Hopper when everyone else has acted, or if someone is waiting for Hopper to act (just say you're delaying for Hopper).

Watery Soup, just making sure you saw Jeeves' post (looks like we posted at the same time). I mention it because Jeeves is still bold as if you're waiting. But hopefully, you're just waiting to process it because I asked to delay till after the allies. Anyway, just making sure you saw it.

An orc with the Vigilant Seal faction is there to question Corvius Vayn. Not about genies or wishes, but about a human woman named Melota that he's in love with. He shows you a returning rune that he's crafting.
Crafting:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 vs DC 18
Friendly request: Aktuh is searching for Melota. Can one of you offer him a cryptic clue that will show up in a future adventure? Past clues have been: Riverlands, Shadows, and Syringe. The first two worked out pretty well, but syringe has been tough and he's been stuck on it for a while.

Thanks for running, Watery Soup. We all appreciate how you kept up the pace of the game. Thanks! Really enjoyed the role-playing from all the players -- made it really enjoyable. Hope to see you all in another game soon.
One question for Watery Soup: Those wishes that Perezia had us make: Just curious would have happened if we had crit-succeeded on those saves? Any chance something good might have happened?
P.S. WS -- Chronicle looks great. Thanks again for switching gears late in the day to run this scenario. I know all of us really enjoyed it.
Wish for wealth:
Failure: encumbered with treasure, Crit Success: gain a temporary (1h) item
Wish for power:
Failure: pushed to limit (fatigued), Crit Success: attacks deal extra damage
Wish for happiness:
Failure: disoriented (sickened), Crit Success: inspired, bonus to attack rolls and saves vs fear
Crit Failure was just whatever Failure was, plus stunned 1, which is a huge missed opportunity, in my opinion. Having something truly terrible happen would have been super fun.

Chronicle looks good, donwloaded! Thank you for keeping the thread open for me.
@GM thanks for running this game, It was awesome. I like the 'feel' of this scenario. It is a shame that the nixie Queen (Perezia) is not more neutral to make the choice harder to make. If she would be all: 'I just want to stop slavery of genies, help me stop genie-binders', the choice between the two would not be that clear.
I made a related comment when I reviewed the scenario - Corvius Vayn is too sympathetic. He shows up in PFS1 #10-21 Slaver's End, and the "Debt to Corvius" boon was definitely not presented a positive thing - the assumption is that something bad happens to your PFS2 character for having the negative boon. (I was actually kind of looking forward to something bad happening to me.)
It'd definitely be more fun (at least for some people) if there were a harder choice at the end. Sparing Perezia / killing Corvius (or killing Perezia, then killing Corvius anyway, hehe) should be appealing.
