The drummer currently drumming falls to the floor, but the leader is made of more dexterous stuff.

The drummer manages to keep a beat, and even regains his feet. That leaves him with little else to do, however, and he feebly throws his torch at Farzinel. The flaming log flies at him, but misses widely and crashes to the floor, sputtering.

Desynthia chants and waves, casting a summoning spell, while her hair change colors, from white to a golden hue

Cast Summon monster I for a Celestial Eagle appearing next round

Desynthia begins summoning otherworldly aid.

Erica runs to place herself in front of Farzinel defensively. She tactically stays in the narrow bottleneck that leads into the room, so the orcs can't flank her.

Double Move, 35 ft. Total Defense for this round; AC bumped to 26

How are you both double moving and taking total defense, which is a standard action?

Ah, sorry! No total defense then.

Markus squeezes past the elf in the hallway, flinging a shuriken as he goes by...

attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Damage: 1d2 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Ahmande keeps telling his Drandle Dreng story as he moves closer to the action.

Markus lets fly a projectile, but it bounces off the orc's armor. The orc steps back and casts a spell. A blob of grease appears on the entryway floor.

For the three in the entryway I need Reflex saves.

The leader begins a loud, magical process, as if gathering power. A fan of flames bursts from her hand, again hitting the three in front of her.

For the three in the entryway I need another Reflex save.

reflex1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
reflex 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

I suppose the +2 for dwarves against spells applies so 24 and 14

@Markus, it does.

Ah yes, the fighter's greatest enemy: slippery floor!

Reflex (to not fall over): 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 - 4 = 2

Erica moves forward right as one of the orcs casts a spell. Suddenly, the floor seems to turn to soap. She loses her balance, tries to recover by using Farzinel as support, fails, and collapses in an undignified heap on the ground.

Reflex (to not catch fire): 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 - 4 = 6

Stunned by her fall, she doesn't have the presence of mind to roll away when the leader starts chanting in tongues.

Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Maintaining his footing, Farzinel pulls out a scroll of color spray and prepares for an opening.

Drummer 2 continues playing, then begins casting a spell that seems to take quite a long time.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Hey, I know that one! We have to stop him!
says Desynthia as her golden eagle appears from nowhere

She orders it to attack the second drummer, while she casts a quick spell.

Two darts of energy fly and hit the spellcaster, hoping to interrupt the summonning

Magic Missile: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6

Beak: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The missile slam into the Orc, as the eagle tears into it with its talons. The orc lets out a curse of pain, and its spell fails on its lips.

Markus tucks his head and tumbles forward into position, dodging the weapons of the orc, and comes up standing punching out at the orc deeper in the room..

Acrobatics to avoid: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Let me know if I can't tumble, that seem okay?

Erica is too stunned from the awful pain to scream as a gulf of fire burns her, and even her armour seems to burn her alive.

She rolls out of reach and into the hallway to escape the grease.

not sure how that would work out mechanically, but that would be a 10ft Move. I think she'd have 1 Standard Action left; if she's still on fire, she'll try to put it out; if the flames are gone, she'll stand up.

Markus slips past the orcs and manages a hit on Drummer 1.

@Erica, I need a DC 10 acrobatics check to move and not fall prone again. Neither you. nor anyone else, is on fire.

I will move forward in a few hours, putting Ahmande on delay if need be.

Sorry, had a really rough day yesterday; it was all I could do to keep up with the games I'm GMing. Back now though.

Ahmande continues his tale of Drandle Dreng's dungeon excursions, and tries to get into the room--as he's otherwise quite ineffective out here.

Retconning my actions then. There's something I misunderstood: the fire spell was the one the orc couldn't finish? I thought they had already cast it.

Acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 12

Erica, please go ahead and retcon. You are not on fire.

However, the fire effect DID go off, the spell that was interrupted was Summon Monster 1, although you were not informed of that in character.

Retconning...

In the general confusion, Erica's unsure of whether or not she just narrowly escaped severe injury. With nothing coming over to finish her off, she gets up unsteadily, relying on the nearest wall for support. She slips a little, but does not fall over. Standing up as a Standard Action; already rolled for Acrobatics and got a 12.

She steps outside of the grease as quickly as she can and finds herself facing one of the orcs. The Heiress be thanked, she didn't let go of her shield and weapon. Counts as a 10 ft Move

GM: a question on the flaming spell used earlier by the orcs. What kind of spell was it? I supposed Burning hands, as the description matches, but it does 1d4 per level, max 5d4..

@desynthia - It was not a spell. The fire effect DID go off. People DO take the damage listed above.

Ahmande just dodges past the drummer and into position.

Drummer 1 steps back and casts a spell at Bobbie...

The leader steps to the side, oddly without getting away from her attackers. She casts a glance at the torch still lying on the floor and, suddenly, a huge cloud of smoke erupts from it.

The smoke obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker can’t use sight to locate the target).

Drummer 2 steps into the smoke himself.

He sputters and hacks, looking ill, while his leader seems to take some small glee in this. Still the drumming, coughing, orc takes a swing at Markus.

But the smoke obscures his vision as his scimitar is coming down, and he narrowly misses.

Heh, missed because of his boss's smoke :)

Fort save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

"Their leader is a kineticist," notes Farzinel pleased that, as a core character, he is able to recognize a non-core class.

Farzinel dismisses his grease spell. He travels through the smoke (possibly provoking from Drummer 2) until he emerges on the other side.
Double move

The smoke protects Farzinel from an attack by the Drummer.

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

"Whoa, be careful; that's a confusion spell!" Ahmande calls, keeping an eye on Bobbie to see whether she succumbs to the spell's effect.

Knowledge (arcana) DC 15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

He nods at Farzinel's assessment of the kineticist's powers, then considers what to do.

The smoke is not where I'd expect it to be from the description. Can you confirm that the map didn't get screwed up inadvertently before Ahmande commits to an action?

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

"A what?" Erica answers confusingly. She can't see much, and her head feels funny.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

What will she do this round?: 1d100 ⇒ 11 Act Normally. Will wait for smoke update before determining her actions.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 2 = 27

Markus coughs a moment, and then launches a series of quick punches at the drummer, trying to see through the smoke and hit them.

Attack FOB1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Damage 1: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Attack FOB2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Damage 2: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
miss chance 1 high good: 1d100 ⇒ 65
misschance 2 high good: 1d100 ⇒ 83

My apologies people, the template got stretched too big. I have it in the right place now.

Desynthia takes her magical wand and steps up to try to give some health back to Bobbie

UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Meanwhile, her eagle still attack the orc

Talons: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Talons: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Beak: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

A surge of healing energy erupts into Bobbie.

Markus's blows land true. The eagle strikes twice, drawing blood from the orc. The drummer seems just about to keel over, but ferociously fights on.

Continuing to inspire his allies, Ahmande draws his bow and begins firing shots at their foes.

Are people including Inspire Courage bonuses in their attack and damage rolls? I probably should have had a non-spoilered reminder more visible.

Inspire Courage: An affected ally receives a +2 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +2 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls.

I did not in my attack or damage rolls, @GM up to you if you want to include them or not on that last couple hits

I did not include them either. I wonder if this means Erica beat the DC to resist the spell of Confusion? She was at 13 initially.
Moving on with her regular actions given that the roll allowed her to act normally anyway:

Blinded by the smoke, Erica can nevertheless locate the nearby commotion easily. She takes a hesitant step forward and strikes where she guesses one of the orcs to be.

Power Attack(+2 Courage): 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 1 + 2 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 11
Miss Chance: 1d100 ⇒ 3

None of you seem to have missed by 1, but please, tally the missed damage and I'll add it in.

Ahmade's arrow strikes true. Eyes stinging, Bobbie misses her attack.

Drummer 1 steps towards Farzinel and Ahmande, then swings on Bobbie, whiffing badly, smoke or no.

The boss, more than a little irritated by a bird in her face, steps back and unleashes a blast of fire. Somehow, even at point blank range, she misses.

Drummer 2 swings at Bobbie, missing, then collapses to the ground, bleeding.

The entire party is up.

Farzinel casts acid splash against the nearest drummer.

Damage (acid) w/IC: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

The drummer sizzles a little.

I didn't included IC in my eagle's attack so far, so some of them might have hit for +2 dmg. Summoned Eagle round 3/4

The eagle flies around furiously, trying to bring down the lead singer, and Desynthia pokes again Bobbie by her curative wand.

UMD: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Markus steps to his left, cornering the lead singer, and lashing out with a fist and an elbow!

Damage 1: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Damage 2: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

confirm?: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13
Crit: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Is Bobbie still under the effects of the Confusion Spell?

Sorry for the delay!

Bobbie, no it was a Lesser Confusion spell and only has a one round duration.

The eagle pecks and scratches, but can't make contact with its prey.

Markus steps up and lands a strike. The orc leader is made of tough stuff, and shakes off the stun.

As Markus strikes, her red hot flesh sears him. for 3 fire damage

Assuming Markus wants to make another attack, it would also hit, but that would mean three more damage..

Markus, pulling back a burned fist, strikes again at the orc.

Ahmande fires again at the drummer as he continues his story of Drandle Dreng. "Funny that we're fighting a band now; Dreng used to be in a band! Bet you didn't know that!"

Inspire Courage: An affected ally receives a +2 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +2 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls.

Farzinel takes a cautious step away from the nearest foe, then sends another glob of acid towards them.
5 ft. step; casts acid splash against the nearest drummer
Ranged touch v. Drummer 1 w/IC: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 2 = 22

With the drummer on her right being dealt with, Erica slashes at the nearest orc.

Power Attack(+2 Inspire Courage): 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 - 1 + 2 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 + 2 = 15
Miss if high: 1d100 ⇒ 19

Ahmande's arrow goes wide, but Farzinel manages to catch the drummer with a glob of well-aimed acid, and Bobbie's follow-up slices its chest open. It's organs spill to the ground and it falls dead.

Seemingly unperturbed by her fallen followers, the leader again takes a moment to gather her power, then unleashes another gout of flame, however, Markus is able to strike her as she does, should he so desire. The flame strikes Markus, and the eagle. It also immolates her bleeding 'ally.'
