"My my sir, will you please move your cart?". Malakar lights up his hands - hoping the merchant does not know it's the Light cantrip. "Who knows what could happen if you do not."
Leon almost slips on the grease but steadies himself.
Astingaire almost breaks a hip falling on the grease slick.
Kuti bites at the assassin as she moves away, but only snaps at the misty air.
With a stern tone, Malakar is able to convince a merchant to move out of the way.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind from the coast blows through, dispersing the cloud of obscuring mist.
The assassin looks up to the sky.
"Mus' be a nor'easter comin' in," she mumbles to herself.
That obscuring mist was a pain to deal with.
Corba can be seen laying unconcious in a pool of her own blood.

Beren, seeing the assassin pop in front of him, brings his scimitar up in a heavy underhand swing--seeming aiming to take the assassin apart one limb at a time.
Fortitude DC 17:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22Sorry, forgot this from before
I'm pretty sure Kuti still has her action from this round too; the earlier post was just an AoO
"Keep that one busy!" Kuti hears Beren call out, and sees that he's pointing to the cultist that tried to burn her with acid.

Her back arches as she instinctively puts her side to the woman before pounding, glad that Beren wants her to do what she wanted to do already!

Kuti no longer feels the burning poison coursing through her veins. The big cat attacks Violet, tearing gashes in the cultist's skin. The cultist cackles maniacally between yelps of pain.
The pool of blood increases in size around Corba. She hears the soft whispers of Pharasma calling.

Violet takes a step back and shoots an acid dart from her pointed finger at Kuti.

Beren tries to step protectively over Corba, but finds he's stuck to the cobblestones! "Blast, you!" he grunts, swinging his scimitar in a narrow arc by his right leg to slash one leg free.
Kuti licks her lips as she backs her prey against the wall. Knowing the cultist has no escape now, Kuti methodically begins the process of disemboweling the cultist.
You keep calling Kuti a big cat, and have even refered to her as a tiger previously. I wanted to point out that Kuti is a small sized cheetah, created with the small cat companion type. No harm, no foul; just wanted to correct the record!
Astingaire stands stoically and blesses his allies with divine inspiration.
Bless is active!
Leon focuses his attacks on the assassin. With a wide swing of his scythe, he leaves a deep gash in the assassin's side.
Corba continues to bleed out.
DC 17 Con check to stabilize.
Beren cuts off about half of the sticky goo that has him stuck in place.

Kuti gnashes with tooth and claw, shredding the cultist to a bloody pulp.
Beren/Kuti:
A 100 lb cat is a big cat to me, lol. ;) Seriously, though, my newest PC has a large cat companion & I guess I'm used to a big cat.

Pleased with the effect the tanglefoot bag had on Astingaire, the assassin takes a step back and lobs another one at Leon...

Magenta suddenly steps out from around the corner of a building. She mutters a morbid lullaby and points her finger at a spot behind Beren. A couple of you begin to feel drowsy.

Beren slashes again, this time trying to free the other leg. He thinks he has it, and goes to take a step, but finds that the first leg wasn't quite as free as he thought! He points out the other cultist to Kuti. "Get that one! She's casting a spell!"
Is Astingaire using bless or Inspire Courage? Player calls it one thing, GM another. I love the creativity in trying to skin a PC into seeming like something they're not, but I'm getting confused as to what the effect on the battlefield is. Beren is free of the tanglefoot bag if it's Inspire Courage; still stuck if it's bless, because bless doesn't boost damage.
I'll add movement if Beren actually is free right now.

Continuing to call out to Aroden, Astingaire cautiously moves out of the slick area, retrieving a wand of cure light wounds as he does so.
Upon reaching his wounded ally, Corba, he touches the wand to her skin to allow the positive energy to flow.

Thanks; sorry for the confusion.
After a final tug of his leg that almost causes him to stumble in surprise, Beren lurches out of the goo. "You're going to be handing over that Key now...." he mutters as he circles the scrum wide, looking for the right opening.

"My mistake, miss. Either way, you're going to die!". He barely notices the dead pigeon!
Beren scrapes away the rest of the goo. He commands his sleek cat to attack.
Beren moves up and demands the key from the assassin. She grins and shakes her head "no".
Kuti pounces, but Magenta lurches forward as she works on casting her spell, causing the cat to miss its mark.
Astingaire pulls out a wand, hurries over to his fallen friend, and taps Corba. Some of her wounds close up.
I'll use A's first post of the double post. +6 hp to Corba.
Leon avoids being glued in place. He swings his scythe at the assassin but she deftly dodges the attack. He turns and kicks Magenta as she works on the casting of her spell. She grunts in pain and...

Doubles over in pain, losing the spell.
Malakar shoots another acid dart which misses its target and fizzles out in the distance.
The assassin jabs her blade at Leon.

She then pulls back down the street.
Magenta, having lost her spell and severely injured, pulls back as well. She turns and shoots an acid dart at Leon.

It seems to take a little bit to get moving, but Leon breaks into a run. Chugging forward like an unstoppable beast he just makes it into range to maybe put the fear of him in them.

Corba's bleeding has stopped, but she is still unconscious.
@GM:
Doesn't the assassin provoke an AoO from Leon when leaving his threatened area? She stabbed him and moved afterwards, so she did not disengage. Or does she have a special feature that allows her to do avoid an AoO for moving?
Additionally, Magenta should also provoke AoOs from Leon and Kuti for leaving their threatened area...

I didn't realize that tanglefoot bags continue to slow you even after you cut yourself free. I backed Beren up 10' as he wouldn't have been able to move as far as he did last round at half-speed. GM, are you tracking the 2d4 rounds that Beren is affected by the tanglefoot bag's speed reduction?
Since it could have become brittle and ineffective by now (3 rounds since it was thrown), I'll wait to take Beren's action until the speed reduction is confirmed.

Shaking the last of the hardened tanglefoot goo off his legs, Beren hustles up to the assassin as fast as he can, just barely catching up. "You misunderstood me; it wasn't a question. You'll be handing the Key over or we'll just take it from you all dead-like."

Continuing to draw upon Aroden for inspiration, Astingaire gives another touch of the wand to the wounded Corba. Then he moves toward the foes, drawing his blade.

A fanfare of trumpets blasts loudly, breaking through the roar of the combat and ringing of clashing blades. Leading a mounted battalion of armored warriors, Sheila Heidmarch and her husband charge through the streets, driving through the waves of summoned fiends and forcing them to retreat back through their gates to the netherworlds from which they were called. In a matter of minutes, their assault is complete and the streets fall quiet.
Sheila Heidmarch then strides over to Quenly and peers at the key in his hand for a moment before proclaiming, "You have the REAL Runecarved Key!" The two hold it aloft, signifying a Pathfinder victory!
"Today, every one of you has contributed to a triumphant victory for our Society, and you have cemented our place in Magnimar. I’m deeply honored that you have granted me your services. While my lodge is small, you have made it feel like a kingdom. Yet our victory today is somewhat bittersweet. It seems dark forces have surfaced in Varisia - forces which, before today, I was unaware of. I’m sorry to have thrown you headlong into the middle of such chaos. I have already sent word to the Decemvirate of today’s events and await their response. When I know more, I shall contact you, for I fear this key has somehow placed all of us in danger. Still, we should go forth, for now is the time to celebrate!"
