Wadley's missiles dissipate as they encounter the same barrier Vomer's fire pushed through a moment ago

Naevys' first shot tears out a chunk, but the second one flies wide.

[occ] who would benefit from a fly spell? [/occ]

Aaftaab probably

Aaftaab is really not good in combat without his bird!

Give it to Jaohd for beating the crap out of him.

I thought Brie primarily used a sword ? So just to be clear Jaohd is now again our ally ????

Yep. He is. Brie could also help.

Hey guys, let's move this over to the discussion tab.

Vomer will move next to Brie and cast fly on her from a scroll. Will last for 5 minutes. Turn Done.

Brie flys over and engages in melee combat with the evil one.

Slash!!! 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 111d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 pfftttt

Her blades lashes out seeking purchase on it.

Vomer grants Brie flight. She charges in, but her wild slashes find only air. Jaohd rushes to the edge of the pit behind her, brandishing his holy symbol.

Back to the pits with you!

Will, resistance, Tzur-Vaal: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 4 = 33

Slashing Slash Slash Slash! The Sequel 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 141d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Double 10s.... serioujsly.

Her blade dances in the air as it weaves a dazzling light of silver around her target.

Black energy wracks Brie with even greater intensity.

negative energy damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

Jaohd grabs his blade from Wadley before blasting his tormentor with his last dregs of holy energy.

Corrupting Touch: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
damage: 8d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 1, 3, 4) = 22

Vomer still has a scroll in one hand. It was a scroll with 2 castings of fly and still has one left. He will use his standard action to cast fly from the scroll on the Paladin then drop the blank scroll page. Then Vomer will draw out holy water using his move action. Fly holy warrior, fly!! . Turn done.

Slashing fury! 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 181d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Slashing fury somehow 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 191d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Mage armor and Shield is up. Force Armor.
AC 26

Brie now seeing the creature seemingly immune to her companions' magic elects for simple methods.
Her blade starts dancing even faster as she attempts to score a hit on the creature.

Naevys levels her pistol, casts an Acid Splash and fires twice.

+1 Ghost Touch, Flaming, Corrosive Pistol with Deadly Aim, Point Blank and Precise Shot: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 10, Magic, P/B, fire, cold, cold: 1d8 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 1d6 + 1d6 + 1d3 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 4 + 1 + (5) + (2) + (3) = 20

misfire, I'm going anyways and will fix the gun next round if the bad guy is not dead.

+1 Ghost Touch, Flaming, Corrosive Pistol with Deadly Aim, Point Blank and Precise Shot: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 16, Magic, P/B, fire, acid: 1d8 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 4 + 1 + (2) + (6) = 19

“I don’t know what to do!!“ the grippli shouts desperately.

Delays.

Brie's first slash is a hair wide, but the followup connects. Naevys pulls the trigger and hears a concerning click. She pulls the trigger again, and while the gun doesn't explode it still throws her aim off. Vomer digs deep into his supplies to help Jaohd be able to reach Tzur-Vaal. Aaftaab stands paralyzed by indecision after the loss of his companion. Lifted into the air by Vomer's magic the paladin has no such trouble.

I do. Jaohd lifts his sword and flies forward. By Shelyn's might you will be destroyed! Smite Evil

Attack, Smite, Bless: 1d20 + 12 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 12 + 4 = 29
Damage, Smite: 1d8 + 5 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 14 = 20

Divine energies surge through the undead as Ether's Kiss sweeps through his form. An unholy wail pierces the party's ears as the ancient evil is dispersed.

Before they can celebrate The Oblivion Shaft reminds them of the dangers of complacency.

negative energy, Brie: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 6) = 12
negative energy, Jaohd: 1d6 ⇒ 1

That was super scary! Wow! Don't we still to need to find The Orb of Stars ...... and the folding boat, Old Flotsam? Vomer says as he moves away from the open shaft while looking at his fellow pathfinders

You found Old Flotsam. It was the folding boat back in the room with the first fight against the skeletons and the mist.

Everyone backs away from the yawning pit. With Tzur-Vaal, his wife Aluu-Nekva, and their minions destroyed you are free to search the area. By the pile of mangled pathfinder bodies you find two masterwork rapiers, a scroll case containing scrolls of Darkvision, Glitterdust, Mirror Image (CL 9), Dimension Door, and Enervation. Their armor has been shredded beyond repair as Aluu-Nekva tried various combinations of seasonings and spices to get their flesh to taste just right. In the area between the curtain you find the seasonings along with The Orb of Stars, a bottle of Nightmarish Pigments, and a pouch of Void Dust.

Some testing of The Oblivion Shaft reveals it is hundreds of feet deep and the negative energy is drawn to you with increasing intensity if you try to descend or hold your ground. Oddly, it does not strike anyone ascending the shaft. Everyone is certain they will need to return at another time, properly prepared to be able to reach the further depths of Sevenfinger's tomb.

Orb and boat in hand the party has no trouble recruiting the few surviving sailors and making their way back to the Grinning Pixie and Captain Benarry. When she sees you arrive with Jaohd and the bodies of his team she asks you for a full report.

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 profession undertaker

Aaftaab is clearly relieved when everyone is safe and the danger over.

Tears fall from his face when he touches his unconscious companion.

“You … you have to help me to carry him out please!! We can use the boat to get him back?!“ he asks.

"Let me help" Brie adds as she too attempts to drag their fallen companion back.
