Round 1
Eltis

The half elf unleashes his psyche and casts a spell throwing a sharp stone towards the Aspis agent.

Telekinetic projectile: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Damage: 1d6 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 = 11

Seeing the sheer savagery being unleashed upon the miscreants attacking the group Eltis just shakes his head.
"Oh, pity. I shall pray for your souls."

After the last one falls. He approaches Miss Sorbet.
"Shall we try a little herbal healing again?"
medicine, treat wounds: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
healing: 2d8 ⇒ (7, 3) = 10
extra super healing?: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 1) = 9

The inventor tries overdrive.

Crafting DC 16:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

He strikes the Aspis Agent A4.

Greatpick:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Damage bludgeoning, overdrive:1d10 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13

Then he casts shield.

Edluin hits the last Aspis agent with a nearby rock and drops them to the ground.

You are out of combat

This section is over. Moving to a new area mandates an overnight rest back at base camp before your head out again.

Your choices are The Sunken Halls or The Labyrinth

I have seen one vote for The Labyrinth

As an FYI, I have added a slide for the Announced Conditions. Enhanced Spellcasting is in effect.

As the group heads back to camp to heal and rest Eltis will agree to visit the Labyrinth next.
"Seems like most of us want to save the water for last. Maybe some other grouo will clear it out before we get there, eh? What are the odds..."

Let's go to the labyrinth then.

The half-elf isn't particularly wanting to go into the water.

The Labyrinth it is.

If you need to use daily Healing resources before sleeping you should. I suggest making sure everyone is healed before you start out again?

After a full night's rest back at the base camp, you head for the Labyrinth.

If you need to take any actions at the camp, you can post them as you approach the next section.

The Labyrinth

Everburning torches light the area, hanging in iron chandeliers from the ceiling and providing normal light throughout the area.
The ceilings are all 15 feet high.
The walls are made from stone, and doors are reinforced wood

The slab that seals this hallway bears the marking of a gravestone. Three icons are carved into it, as well as an inscription and foot-wide square that glow faintly with magic.

The inscription, written in Dwarven, reads, “It is not how it ends, but how it starts” Lucky you have a dwarf in the party.

The three icons in the illuminated square have been worn down.

The first of the three icons portrays a dwarven hammer,

The second icon shows an underground city

The third icon shows a dwarf cutting off his beard

Most of you realize that a malfunction in the door’s opening mechanism has caused unstable magic to pool within it, making it liable to release the sorrows it has collected from all who have mourned their lost homeland at its threshold.

Disable: DC 17 Religion (trained) or DC 20 Deception to coax the door’s magic into allowing access without setting off the hazard.

DC 15 Crafting: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

“It is not how it ends, but how it starts,” Tandang reads the inscription in Dwarven. "Interesting. I wonder why these three icons look worn down." he muses.

DC 17? Religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
DC 17 Society: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
DC 17 Religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

"I don't know what the two icons mean, but I heard that a dwarf cutting off his beard is part of a mourning ritual called thundran. Why would the dwarf cut his beard, anyway? What is he mourning for?"

I am untrained in Religion and has Deception -1, hehe.

After someone points it out to him, Eltis frowns at the pool of unstable magic.
"Well, let us see if we can quell this."
religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Crafting:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Religion:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Society:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

Religion:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

The half elf looks around of the room to see if he can understand something. But it seems he's still not very awake for now.

Apologies to Tadang for leaving out the DC of the first Religion check. The DC is actually only 10, so he does succeed.

To enter the path, the dwarves touched the illuminated square and contemplated Tar Khadurrm, and the door opened for them. While it was originally designed to open after a dwarf spoke the kingdom’s name, the magic has deteriorated.After the Eltis dispersed the pooled magical energy, the door swings open.

Inscriptions decorate the walls with scattered images, Dwarven script, and other symbols. The images and runes depict relics of dwarven life in centuries past.

Eltis manages to spot a hazard ahead as the door slides open. It appears the carving in the hallway will fill the area with mist and cause negative energy damage to all living things in the area. It seems it will be triggered if you look at it. Can you accomplish of of the disable actions without looking at the carving?

Disable DC 15 Religion (trained) to recite prayers for the dead, or DC 12 Dwarven Lore to speak the history of Raseri Kanton, or DC 18 Thievery to plug the holes in the carving

Opportunistic merchants have flooded the market at the base camp.
The Diverse Investments condition is now in effect.

Testing, just because I haven't seen any posts in over 12 hours.

There is a second hazard to deal with in the corridor in front of you.

Thievery: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

The half elf tries to disable the hazards without looking at the carvings.

Dalea has no relevant skills, so she is waiting.

The Aspis Consortium has taken countermeasures against the Pathfinder Society.
Table GMs, run Event 2: Countermeasures.

Eltis contemplates the trap and then sees Elduin step up and easily take care of it.

Crafting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Miss Sorbet, still upset about the possibility of going into water again, spends too long looking at the carvings. By the time she says, "Looks like these are worn out because people keep touching them," everyone has moved on. She hustles to be with them.

Thievery:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

The inventor tries plug the holes in the carving.

You easily manage to disable the Carved Mourner, but as you start to move further South, Tandang Boreas and Dalea Obova notice some barbed wire strung across the hallway (Red line on map.)

Disable: DC 17 Thievery (trained) to detach the wire

Thievery:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Thievery, reroll:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

The half elf takes the time to disable the new hazard Tandang and Dalea found on their way.

As Elduin disables the barbed wire hazard, Lendaru spots another Carved Mourner further down the hallway.

Another carving in the hallway will fill the area with mist and cause negative energy damage to all living things in the area. It seems it will be triggered if you look at it. Can you accomplish any of the disable actions without looking at the carving?

Disable DC 15 Religion (trained) to recite prayers for the dead, or DC 12 Dwarven Lore to speak the history of Raseri Kanton, or DC 18 Thievery to plug the holes in the carving

Even under the mountain, the Pathfinder Society builds alliances.
The Allies Gathered condition is now in effect.

Eltis begins to recite prayers for the dead.
religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Yeah, gonna go with the hero point
religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
All hail dicebot...

Tandang is not useful at this moment of disabling hazards. He thus offers himself as a lookout in case they are ambushed again or something. "You all can do that, I will keep my eyes out for everyone." he says and readies his shield and weapon.

Miss Sorbet isn't usually the praying type, but tries to say a word for the deceased.

Religion: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

The sight of the Poppet reciting prayers for the Dead is a little unusual, but it seems to do the trick.

Most of the rooms in this area are empty, but there is something going on in the room immediately to your East.

"Let's head east and see what's going on in there."

Yes let’s go east to see what happens there.

The half elf prepares himself to discover what is happening there.

Moving the group East into the room.

A bas relief of a great city split in two adorns the walls of this chamber. Every inch bears a fine detail, from pairs of guards that watch over the doorway to a forge hammering away at a clan dagger. Dwarven calligraphy covers the stone tiles that make up the floor.

This room near the center of the Labyrinth memorializes the other lost city of Jernashall on the northern wall, and Raseri Kanton on the southern. The floor’s message is a prayer to the Dwarven pantheon, calling on all the deities to help those fleeing to remember the traditions they bring with them.

As you move into the room, a restless spirit rises to greet you, along with a couple of brooms that were extras in The Sorcerers' Apprentice.

Initiative Round 1

Tandang Boreas
Weird, Translucent creature
Animated Broom 1
Elduin Nerifiel
Lendaru
Eltis
Miss Sorbet
Animated Broom 2
Dalea Obova

Tandang moves forward and raises his shield. He gives a closer look at the weird translucent creature if he is familiar with it.

◆ Stride
◆ Raise a Shield
◆ Recall Knowledge about the weird translucent creature

The translucent creature moves forward. As it does, you can see it float through the air as the below the waist fades into nothingness instead of the feet you would have expected.

Then it emits a horrifyingly sad sound before striking at Miss Sorbet

◆ Stride

◆ Weeping Moan [one-action] (auditory, divine, emotion, enchantment, fear, mental) The translucent creature shakes with a terrible sob, forcing each living creature within 15 feet to attempt a DC 18 Will save. On a failure, a creature becomes frightened 1 (or frightened 2 on a critical failure). On a success, a creature is temporarily immune to this Weeping Moan for 1 minute.

◆ Strike at Miss Sorbet
Strike with a translucent claw at Miss Sorbet: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19
Negative Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Hitting Miss Sorbet

One of the brooms moves up to strike at Lendaru
◆ Stride

◆ Broom strike
bristles +6 (agile, finesse, magical): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
bludgeoning damage plus dust: 1d4 ⇒ 3

◆ Second Strike at Lendaru
bristles +6 (agile, finesse, magical): 1d20 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 6 - 4 = 14
bludgeoning damage plus dust: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Dust A creature hit by an animated broom’s bristles must succeed at a DC 15 Fortitude save or spend its next action coughing. Even if hit by multiple dust attacks, the creature has to spend only 1 action coughing to clear the dust out. A creature that doesn’t breathe is immune to this effect.

The broom misses Lendaru with both swings.

Eltis shakes off the magical effect, steps close to the rest of the group and casts a spell.
Bless, 5' radius currently, +1 to attack rolls and damage to all in the radius

Lendaru's attacks make quick work of one of the animated brooms, reducing it to splinters in spite of its damage reduction.

Eltis steps up and casts a spell to try and help the party deal with the enemies.
Minor correction. I believe Bless is only +1 to attack, not damage

Damage, bludgeoning: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Fort DC 15 for this round because frightened 2. A creature that critically fails its save is also stunned 1.

Then he moves inside the room.

Will Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Miss Sorbet takes a swing at the translucent creature, then takes a step forward and {attacks again if it's still up or moves toward the broom}.

Halberd: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Halberd: 1d20 + 5 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 - 5 = 13 if needed
Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

The translucent creature doesn't seem to take nearly as much damage from Miss Sorbet's strike as she would have expected, and is very much still in the fight.

The remaining broom moves up to strike at Lendaru, then at Tandang
◆ Stride

◆ Broom strike at Lendaru
bristles +6 (agile, finesse, magical): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

DC 18 Will save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29
DC 15 Fortitude save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

Tandang is not much affected by the sob. Same with the dust from the animated broom that attacked him. Maybe the dust is not enough to make him cough or be affected at all. Not knowing what the weird translucent creature is, he just evokes a jumble of rocks from the ceiling hitting the hostile creatures to bludgeon them with 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 bludgeoning damage (vs DC 18 basic Reflex save). He then raises his shield.

◆◆ Cast a Spell, Scatter Scree
◆ Raise a Shield

DC 18 Will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
◆Dalea strides to flank the broom with Tandang
◆She enters Tiger Stance

Final action pending Will save result

◆Dalea uses her final action to Flurry against the broom

Tiger Claw 1: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
Slashing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Tiger Claw 2: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
Slashing: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Broom Reflex save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Translucent creature Reflex Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Tandang's Spell takes the Broom and the Translucent creature off guard, destroying the Broom.

Dalea, in the interest of time, I'm going to move you into flank with the Translucent creature and apply your attacks. If you want a different Retcon, please let me know and we will work it out. Based on the result, I doubt you will want to change.

Dalea to flank the translucent creature. Her first blow strikes true due to the distraction of Miss Sorbet. Delea's blow disperses the Translucent creature and ends the battle.

You are out of combat.
