More healing as the pathfinders approach the second door.
The crashing and screeching noises continue...
It looks like you're ready to open the second door. I just need to know who's carrying the prisms. Mun has just picked up the empty one. You've got 4 fully charged prisms. Marik has posted in discussion, if you want to agree amongst yourselves over there that'll work.
If you are opening the door, do not post additional actions.
The entire room hums with energy. An immense column of silver and steel rises through the centre of the tower, almost touching the ceiling nearly one hundred feet above, where it’s capped by an elaborate device much like an astrolabe of gold and glass. Stairs made of metal mesh round the perimeter of the tower clockwise before reaching a platform twenty feet off the ground. A C-shaped console occupies much of the platform. At the foot of the stairs lies a gleaming shield, perhaps dropped by a crusader.
Two deformed, fiendish creatures occupy the room. One of them stands upon the staircase on the opposite side of the astrolabe. The second is on the high console to the east, taking great pleasure in tearing great chunks out of the complex machinery and hurling them to the floor.
Once you have line of sight to these creatures - Green or Red tokens on the map - you can attempt the spoilered Knowledge check.
Knowledge (Planes) DC19:
The pair of ratlike hunchbacks are Abrikandilu demons, but are obviously unusual specimens, even more violent and angry than typical wrecker demons. Demon barbarians :o DC24
Spoiler:
Wrecker demons often serve as troops in demonic armies, for they delight in destruction and excel at it. Their natural attacks can quickly destroy buildings and ruin flesh. They can crit objects, gain a bonus to STR checks to destroy objects, and inflict a penalty on CHA checks with their bite attack.
DC29
Spoiler:
Wrecker demons hate beauty, even more so than their demon kin. But they loathe one thing even more: their own reflections. An Abrikandilu confronted with a mirror is like to attack it to the exclusion of anything else. You get a bonus to Intimidate an Abrikandilu if you present a mirror; it gets a Will save to avoid having to attempt to destroy the mirror.
DC34
Spoiler:
Wrecker demons have defences typical of minor demons: they are immune to poison and electricity, resistant to fire, cold and acid, and suffer reduced damage from weapons that are not cold iron.
DC39
Spoiler:
The wrecker demon has only a couple of weak spell-like abilities, being able to cast Cause Fear and Shatter, although they can use these several times each day.
From behind you, back in the direction that you came from, you hear the distinctive voice of Ollysta Zadrian: “Pathfinders! A Shemhazian approaches! Focus on activating the weapon! I will hold off the demon for as long as I draw breath!” The clatter of iron-shod feet signals the approach of a group of crusaders...
The staircase is at ground level to the left, and rises to a height of 20 feet where it meets the control console on the right. The stair gradient is shallow enough that it is not difficult terrain. The console provides cover against attacks from the ground.
We're on slide 2. You will need to scroll down to find your tokens.
Does Mun have line of sight through the two doorways, or is it too high to see from where he is?
Mun calls out as he holds open the back door, letting the other through as he prays for their victory. "Ashava, this may be my greatest test. Hear me now!!! I offer you this, my prayer, for your glory through our actions, and our enemy's demise!!!"
He clumsily holds out the empty prism, still getting used to the bulky leather suit.
Actions:
Standard: cast prayer Move: hold out empty prism for give away or exchange
Prayer: You bring special favor upon yourself and your allies while bringing disfavor to your enemies. You and each of your allies gain a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, while each of your foes takes a –1 penalty on such rolls. (8/8 rounds remain)
Selune, receiving no other command from her Mun, follows her instinct; she gets as close as she can to the elf and looks out for his defense. In this case, that's behind Mun... when she can hear that the noise is obviously from in front of him, and she looks frustrated and snappy as a result.
Actions:
Move: 10' Standard: readied attack vs any foe that enters a threatened square
Mun can't see the demon on the stairs to id from his present position.
Mun prays for his goddess's intercession whilst offering the empty prism to any willing taker. Selùne guards the rear.
Myth wastes no time launching cold iron at the demon on the platform. The difficult shot is made to look easy, and the fiend's hide is pierced.
Derpi enters the weapon-tower and recognises Abrikandilu "wrecker" demons. The halfling mage realises that it's unusual to see such creatures wielding arms and armour, but this pair are equipped with studded leather (the hides of who-knows-what) and heavy picks. Moved you.
Xiao starts an inspiring song on his magical horn, and waves the Society's flag. Audible performance for ic - flag must be visible to give its additional bonus to a PC.
Suddenly, there's an almighty crash as something huge smashes its way through the wall! Although it can't push its whole bulk through, a massive fiend breaches the tower wall and knocks away part of the staircase as its claws and pincers tear down the stone and metal. The giant beast roars in hateful challenge.
Knowledge (planes) DC26:
The gigantic fiend is a Shemhazian demon. More physically powerful than almost any other demon, Shemhazians take great delight in mutilating and devouring their victims.
DC31
Spoiler:
The Shemhazian is a terrifyingly powerful melee combatant, attacking with claws, pincers, bite and tail. But as if that weren't enough its bite drains Strength, and its gaze causes temporary paralysis (and demons and other evil creatures are immune).
DC36
Spoiler:
Like all greater demons, the Shemhazian resists attacks from weapons save for those that are both Cold Iron forged and holy.

The Shemhazian resists acid, cold and fire and is immune to poison and electricity. It also resists spells.
DC46
Spoiler:
The Shemhazian can sense Good auras and sees through illusions without effort.
DC51
Spoiler:
A Shemhazian has few spell-like abilities for such a powerful demon, but its magic includes at-will invisibility, telekinesis and teleportation as well as mass inflict wounds, several divinations, blashpemy and summons.
The wrecker demon on the platform continues to smash the machinery with its pick - and its bite! Then it drops down low to the ground, to gain increased protection against Myth's arrows.
The demon on the stairs hefts a hunk of rubble, and holds its position.
Xiao can't see the big demon from his present location in the 'staging room' - he's also playing a wind instrument so is limited in how much he can speak.

Marik casts his eyes over the scene before him while considering Ollysta's words.
"When we activate the weapon the demons will be exposed to The Inheritor's wrath, we simply need to stop them from interfering with its activation... It sounds like Ollysta wants to deal with the big guy. As for the smaller ones, we just need them out of the way... blind them, stun them, dominate them or kill them, whatever stops them from interfering with us or the console the fastest... Other than that, I think we just need to get that weapon operational as quickly as we possibly can..."
The halfling looks at the broken stairs "...also, is anyone able to teleport or fly?"
Looking as if he just remembered something, Marik reaches into his haversack and pulls out a potion which he then drinks.
Marik drinks a potion of Fly (I assume he has a free hand as he would have had to drop the wand of cure light wounds to open the door). Marik will also enter Crane Style.
"We should also use the platform and column to provide cover and block line of site if necessary."
I assume I'm correct in thinking that column and platform will both block the demons view?
Would I be correct in thinking that Derpi only needed to take a move action to get into the room? I.e. she would also have a standard action which she could use?
Derpi has double moved. The "column" is a large, complex, astrolabe-like device. It provides cover against things on the other side but does not block line of sight or line of effect. The platform provides cover against attacks from ground level, but does not block line of sight or line of effect, excepting that if you are directly underneath it then you don't have l-o-s or l-o-e to anything on the platform. The Shemhazian is Gargantuan - it sees everything on and under the platform from its present position.
Marik draws and drinks a potion.
Ollysta Zadrian and two crusader knights run into the control room. "We'll handle the shemhazian! Get that weapon operational!" she tells you.

"Absolutely. Dimension Door would definitely help get us to the console quickly, but we need to stop the demon up there interfering first... I'm thinking things like Glitterdust, Suggestion, Hideous Laughter (assuming it's not immune to any of those)... anything quick which will keep it busy for a while... Obviously killing it with damage is also a very good option... Essentially whatever will take it out of the picture quickest..."

Derpi has double moved.
I guess what I was wondering here was whether Derpi had the Fleet of Foot racial trait, as it looked like she had only moved 30 feet and lots of halflings tend to take that trait to get a 30 foot movement speed.

Ah, so it sounds like the platform is sticking out of the wall, rather than being on top of a solid base.
I missed the Fleet of Foot trait, so I will allow Haste round 1 and other actions for round 2 if you wish Derpi. I went off Derpi's posted actions and her token had not been moved - if anyone finds themselves unable to move their tokens for any reason please mention it in Gameplay, so your token can be placed accurately according to your wishes.
If you do want to caste Haste round 1 Derpi that will mean the Crusaders are not included but Ash is. The Crusaders were not yet present on your turn in round 1.
Mun moves into the room, initially planning on just stopping inside the door, but he has to move farther in due to the clump of Pathfinders. "We can't cluster like this; we're one fireball away from doom!" he warns as he passes.
He readies a spell for Selune, then gets her attention, calling her to him for a spell, then pointing at the demon on the landing. Uncharacteristically using words instead of his usual kicks, pulls, and nudges, he commands his bear to attack. "You've got to take that one out, Selune! Do it fast!!!"
He doesn't show it, but for all the times he's received a mission briefing from Ollysta, Mun is a bit star-struck to find himself fighting beside the illustrious head of his faction!
Actions:
Move: 20' Standard: readied action to cast air walk on Selune when she is within range Free: Handle Animal (receive spell-air walk) DC 12, link:1 + 7 + 4 = 12 Free: Handle Animal (attack any target) DC 12, link:1 + 7 + 4 = 12
I think this should all work with both Mun and Selune's actions this round. PCs are allowed to take more than one free action per round, so Mun can deliver both commands this round. By using a readied action, Mun should be able to cast air walk as Selune passes him by on her way to the demon; the intertwining of their actions between their individual turns should be legal in that sense.
I think I covered all the bases here. (I hope I covered all the bases here!)
Selune was pretty much already following Mun into the room, so her response is swift. She comes to her master as called then--with practiced ease--walks up the air as if it's a moderate hill to get to the platform and threaten the demon.
Actions:
Double move: 60' laterally (including 20' worth of elevation at half-speed for a total 80' movement cost)
I presume the move into the room and identifying the demon was Round 1 and casting of the Haste and identifying the second demon was Round 2. If it was actually Round 0/Round 1, then it's the entire party, including Ash & Selune that gets Hasted
Rather than try to work in a retcon, let's stick with the initial understanding since it looks like Derpi and I both read it that way; Derpi moved into the room on round 1, then casts Haste on round 2 including Zadrian and the Crusaders but excluding Ash. (There is a benefit in Hasting the Crusaders).
Ashwell casts a Fly spell upon himself. You don't seem to have moved your token Ash, do you wish to?
Derpi hastens pathfinders and crusaders alike.
Mun calls his companion to him and grants her a semblance of flight, albeit one a little easier for her to make full use of. I see that Selune knows the "air walk" trick - and two move actions will get her where you wanted, no problem. The bear walks on air, and reaches the demon on the platform.
Myth takes the stairs and fires at the second wrecker demon waiting there, with similar effect to his first shot. I'll add +3 damage for Inspire Courage, possibly an extra +1 for Flagbearer dependent on Xiao's actions.
Xiao given confirmation of the location of the prism receptacles (see Discussion) do you want to retcon? Remember that if you drop the flag it no longer grants its Morale bonuses and Flagbearer has a 30' area of effect.

Thanks GM, actually moving to Derpi is only a move action with haste. And I have to drop the flag eventually and it is only a +1. So after dropping the flag and instead of taking out the prism, Xiao junior will use his free hand to cast a spell.
Xiao junior realizes that it is too early to take out the prism and thus casts glitterdust on the face of the large demon.
The creature roars in anger, blinking furiously and scratching at its insectoid lenses.
Trickery will not save you! The weapon will fall to me, and you will die!
The shemhazian marshals its magical powers - but aside from the play of energies around the creature nothing else happens.
Spellcraft DC18:
The demon used a Clairaudience/Clairvoyance SLA - this creates an independent sensory organ allowing it to mitigate the blindness effect of the Glitterdust.
Perception DC23:
Something disturbs the air above the doorway into the tower. You recognise the effect of an invisible scrying sensor.
Will:1d20 + 18 ⇒ (13) + 18 = 31
With a shake of its massive head, the shemhazian clears the glitter from its eyes.
I see all, mortals! You have nowhere to hide!
On the platform, the wrecker demon is surprised to find an enchanted bear looming over it. The beast stands up, leering and provoking an AoO from Selune. It shoves the bear backwards!
”The Clairvoyance sensor is just above the doorway.”
Marik looks up towards the control platform. ”The crusaders are taking care of the big demon. We need to do our bit and focus on getting the weapon activated as quickly as possible.”
”Unless we want to try and fire the weapon with the smaller demon still up there (which I guess could be an option), we need to prioritise removing it as a threat, either with a bunch of damage or spells. Do we know if it is immune or resistant to anything?”
Just to double check, did the party members who passed the knowledge checks on the demons pass on that information to the rest of us?
”If Derpi is planning on Dimension Dooring, it may be worth seeing if the rest of us can quickly take out the demon on the platform first.”(i.e. if Xiao thinks he can take it out, Derpi could delay until after Xiao’s go to see if the demon has been eliminated before deciding whether to d’door or do something else before the demons go?)
He then calls on Chaldira to protect the party and the crusaders (using his Silver Crusade Celestial Blessing faction boon as a free action to give his allies within 30 foot DR3/evil for 2 rounds); Followed by using his wand of shield, which he then drops, and flys up to the platform drawing a kukri as he goes.
Celestial Blessing:
Once per adventure, you can call upon your deity as a free action to grant yourself and all allies within 30 feet to whom you have line of effect DR/evil equal to half the number of goals you have completed (rounded down) for two rounds.
Once up there he will glance at the controls to try and get a better idea of what the party need to do in order to load the prisms and fire the weapon.
Marik will remain flying but just above the console, so that he can land next round without needing to use a move action.
He will also use bodyguard to defend adjacent allies (i.e. Selûne) if necessary and will re-apply his haunted mercy to himself.
Selùne sinks her teeth into the wrecker demon on the platform.
Marik shields himself and his allies, invokes Chaldira's divine blessings, and flies up to the control platform.
The paladin sees many dials and switches, and immediately recognises that firing the weapon will require two dials to be turned simultaneously - and one is at each end of the control platform. It will take two people to fire, or one person with very long arms. Reach 10 would do it. With finesse, it should be possible to compensate for some of the damage that has been caused to the device by the wrecker demon. An INT check or a UMD check can be made by a PC arming the weapon. But it won't fire without four prisms being loaded into their receptacles in the panel first.
I'll repeat the weapon firing details in Discussion for ease of reference.
knowledge check recap, all may read:
The smaller demons have been identified as Abrikandilu "wrecker" demons of superior ability and equipped with heavy picks and studded leather armour. The larger demon has been identified as a shemhazian and you know its special attacks: its bite drains Strength and its gaze (30' range) causes temporary paralysis (1 round, but a save is required every round).
The three crusaders sprint at the shemhazian and attack! The demon swats at them with claw and pincer, and the crusaders begin to mend their wounds with Iomadae's grace.
Myth does a spectacular backflip down the stairs and tops the manoeuvre with a pinpoint arrow into his Abrikandilu antagonist.
If you're Hasted and use a full round action, can you still move?
You're limited to a 5' step. Haste doesn't give extra actions (except for the bonus attack if you full attack).
Ash wrote:
I’ve got a hasted double move in which to fly and try to get the prism into the machine. My plan is to try that with my move.
You've got enough flight speed to get there in one move. You can load your prism from any square adjacent to the console, seeing as you are flying. Please place your token.
Any character listed as 'holding' a prism will be assumed to have it in hand if their hands aren't full of weapons or other items.
Ash zips up to the control platform and loads a prism.
Mun draws his bow. Selùne rips into the wrecker demon in an impressive display of savagery. The demon is badly wounded but does not fall.
Derpi launches a volley of her signature magic missiles which slam into the wrecker demon on the stairs.
red will DC18:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Xiao Jr repeats the razzle-dazzle, but red wrecker seems ready for it and hides his eyes in time.
The shemhazian demon roars in rage, its mighty thews shaking the very foundations of the tower. Rubble falls down from the roof, battering fiend and pathfinder alike!
bludgeoning damage:3d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 5) = 10
red reflex:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21 green reflex:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Everyone attempt a DC15 Reflex save for half damage (5 - or less with your DR3/evil!).
The two abrikandilu demons are unharmed by the debris. DR
The shemhazian swats Ollysta Zadrian off her feet with a massive claw. As she stands, it hits her again.
The fiend on the platform looks from Marik to Selùne and back.
The monster's pick smashes Marik's kukri and pierces the halfling's hand! Greater Sunder + Smasher rage power; destroys your kukri - I assume you drew the cold iron one - and does you 11hp damage.
Laughing cruelly, the bestial fiend turns his pick on Selùne...

Hello team, I need to inform you all about mechanical stuff related to Xiao Junior that affects all of you!
--
MISFORTUNE revelation - REROLLING ANY d20 ROLL BEFORE KNOWING THE RESULT
Misfortune (Ex): At 1st level, as an immediate action, you can force a creature within 30 feet to reroll any one d20 roll that it has just made before the results of the roll are revealed. The creature must take the result of the reroll, even if it’s worse than the original roll. Once a creature has suffered from your misfortune, it cannot be the target of this revelation again for 1 day.
The trickiest thing for everyone to keep track of in a PbP format is his Misfortune revelation. Basically, he can require anyone (including allies) to reroll a d20 once/day.
Caveats: it uses his immediate action (so it's not available when he's still flatfooted) and it has a 30' range limitation.
This means that
a) I can use it on you once/day per person;
b) but I can only use it once/round (since it uses my immediate);
c) so as an ally try to stay within 30' of Xiao if possible.
To my fellow players: In a PbP format, I will use this ability but if you want to you each can decide for yourselves if you want to use the ability and just be sure that someone else hasn't already used my immediate action previously that round.
To the GM: With regard to foes, I'll use the ability but if you see a crit against a player or important saving throw against a foe, then you can also bot the misfortune using the following priorities:
- Enemy attack rolls: If a foe threatens a crit against a player then Xiao will immediate action misfortune the initial attack roll.
- Enemy saving throws: When they have to make an important save and have rolled 13 or better on the d20 roll then Xiao will immediate action misfortune the saving throw roll.
To fellow players: Saving Finale is a spell I can only use when I have a performance active but if you have already used Misfortune on yourself and fail a saving throw then this could help.
Caveats:
a) you must be within 30';
b) this also uses my immediate action, so it might not be available if I've already used it for Misfortune;
c) this depends on me having Bardic Performance up, which I will normally do.
d) In the case of Saving Finale, you can actually wait to see whether or not you failed (as opposed to Misfortune, where you only see the die roll, not the result), so this is a very handy bailout.

I hope this was understandable! :-)
Thanks to GM Abraham from whom I copied major portions of the text above as he is also using Misfortune with one of his characters.

In a similar vein, Marik also has some abilities which will have a mechanical impact on the rest of the party. Specifically:
If you are small or smaller and within 60' of Marik: You gain a +1 luck bonus vs fear. (Small Quarters Ally)
If Marik aids another: He provides a +4 bonus (rather than the normal +2) to the skill check, attack, AC, save etc... which he is aiding. (Helpful Halfling)
If you get attacked and are adjacent to Marik: Marik can used an attack of opportunity to improve your AC by +4. (Bodyguard)
If Marik hits an evil creature within 30' of you: You gain +2 to hit and +1 to damage vs that creature until Marik's next turn. These are both competence bonuses. (Weal's Champion)
While Marik occupies an opponents square: All allies adjacent to both that opponent and Marik are considered flanking with Marik. Opponent suffers -4 to hit or attempt a combat maneuver vs anyone who isn't Marik. (Underfoot Assault)
Note that Weal's Champion won't stack with things like Inspire Courage as they are both competence bonuses. I've added a spoiler with the above in Marik's profile, so its also available there if needed.
Small Quarter Ally applies to allies who are the same Size category as Marik, not "small or smaller"*. If Marik is Small, only Small allies benefit. If Marik changes size, Small Quarter Ally works on allies who are the size that Marik becomes.
Weal's Champion provides its bonuses to the party only when Marik has activated the ability, which he can do once per day as a swift action. The ability gives Marik +CHA to attack vs (all) evil creatures and +1 (=1/2 paladin level) damage against them for 1 round (=1/2 paladin level), and if Marik hits any evil creature during that round then allies gain the Competence bonuses stated in Marik's post above for 1 round provided the ally is within 30' of Marik and can both see and hear him.
*Unless Nethys is wrong. I don't own a copy of Heroes of the Fringe so I stand to be corrected if the actual source says different.
Hard Mode presents additional challenge above and beyond the standard level. Playing in Hard Mode does not provide any additional reward beyond bragging rights. There is an exception - I believe there are one or two convention boons that do provide rewards for completing a number of Hard Mode scenarios.
Please let me know if you would like to attempt Hard Mode. All players must be unanimous, otherwise we play in normal mode.
Myth are you level 7 or 8? As you noted, this affects the option to choose the 4-player adjustment.
Sorry, GM, been hammered here at home and work. I’m definitely level 8; might have a credit to apply to him before start that could make him 9…might be handy if we go hard mode…I’ll get him updated by this weekend…

And since Derpi is a halfling, she can benefit from Marik's ability. Does it stack with Fearless?
Yes, it should do. Fearless is a racial bonus and the bonus from Marik is a luck bonus so as they are different bonus types they should stack (so long as Marik remains small sized). If it becomes relevant Fearless gives a bonus vs fear, while Marik’s bonus is vs ‘fear effects’.

That a good point. I'd forgot it takes a bit longer to work out where the auras are, so he'd only know that there is evil in the room ahead of him but not where exactly it is in the room.

Paladin Detect Evil (Sp): At will, a paladin can use detect evil, as the spell. A paladin can, as a move action, concentrate on a single item or individual within 60 feet and determine if it is evil, learning the strength of its aura as if having studied it for 3 rounds. While focusing on one individual or object, the paladin does not detect evil in any other object or individual within range.

Just to confuse matters, although Marik is a paladin he is using his shining wayfinder, which allows him to cast the spell version rather than the paladin version.
That's a little bit the best of both worlds. He can use the wayfinder to get the first round of detect evil on the room, and then use the paladin version to get three rounds of info in a move action (I think?) on the items that need to be meticulously studied.

Sadly one of his architypes traded away the paladin version (although he got other good stuff in return), so the wayfinder allows him to still feal like he's a proper paladin!
It is an excellent item and vanity - however the Shining Wayfinder's Detect Evil function only works for a Good character. My LN dhampir Silver Crusade member is sad.

As Derpi is 9th level would she get 5 magic missiles rather than 4? Likewise, would Myth also get an iterative attack in addition to the rapid shot and haste ones? Thought I’d better check just to be on the safe side.

Was the spell cast by the allip which caused the confusion an enchantment spell? I spotted that Myth has a bonus on saves vs enchantment and wondered it that would help him avoid the confusion?
It is an enchantment yes. Myth, I can see a racial bonus of +2 vs Enchantment, but your tagline says you get +5 - is that a typo or do you have other bonuses applicable to get to +5?
Hmmm…lemme double-check that GM, that may very well be a typo as I can’t recall off the top of my head…even if it’s not, it sure didn’t help me with my roll… :)
ETA: Nope, nothing I can see; it is a typo. Sorry, it’s corrected now…

Marik steps back retrieves some meditation tea from his haversack and gives it to Derpi. (Derpi gets a new save with a +2 alchemical bonus)
Just to clarify, by ‘gives it’ here I meant administer it, rather than just hand it over. Although, I’ve just realised that may not be mechanically possible, as such Marik would do something different with his turn.
