Pathfinders are up

Tad channels positive energy to try to get everyone back up. he has selective channeling if relevant, so bad guys get excluded

healing: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 2) = 11

Arie drops and then comes right back into consciousness. Not hearing what the Aspis agent said she assumes they are still trying to kill her so.. she quickly grabs the largest silver ball off her necklace, tosses it just behind the Apsis agents and tries to shuffle under/behind any cover she can find with that table or whatever is beside her.

necklace of fireballs, 8d6: 8d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 3, 1, 5, 6, 5, 2) = 28

Since Ninneye is behind the blue man, as stated earlier, she will stab the blue man in the back, making a full attack.
Attack: 1d20 + 15 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 15 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 23

He is taking 5 bleed damage on his turn, and cannot make AOO for one round or three, if the effect stacks.
"He's slowed, get the leader!

Seeing Fireballs being tossed around, Juis decides to help his comrades incase more fireballs are being tossed about.

He runs round touching his allies before finding a good spot to stop.

Fire Resistance 10, Communal 10 minutes (Everyone in party)

Makras blinks, finding himself lying on the ground, badly wounded, with an Aspis fighter standing over him. "Try harder" he shouts angrily at his assailant, "or go kill someone else!"

Casting defensively (concentration check DC 17) the spell murderous command. If the check succeeds, Blue has to make a DC 13 Will save to avoid attacking their nearest ally.

Casting defensively: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

does the fire resistance from Juis stack with Tad's domain fire resistance (10)? If not, excluding Tad might make it last a little longer for everyone else.

Thad gives the party a bit of healing.

does the fire resistance from Juis stack with Tad's domain fire resistance (10)? If not, excluding Tad might make it last a little longer for everyone else.

nope. The SRD links from the Fire domain to the ability engery resistance which says >This resistance does not stack with the resistance that a spell might provide.

I fixed the map so people can move their tokens

The bard wings the fireball necklace and the Aspis try to dodge.

The man falls from the stabs from the ninja.

@GM: Thanks, if Blue is dead I'll target Red with the spell instead.

The ninja quickly dispatches the guard with the hammer.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Aspis are up

The female arcane caster casts a spell then another.

"You'll die then!"

She casts and the ninja gets his with arcane bolts.

He then rushes over to Aria as he sees her drop also.

Move: 15'

since the result of the comment above may change Tad's action, I'll wait for a response.

Makras wearily--and warily--gets to his feet.

Total Defence and standing up from prone.

Arie lays half under the table, having a nightmare about a horrible day...

** spoiler omitted **

23 Tad Ninneye 25 current after 18 from Juis, Arie is at -3

Tad casts his second fireball, catching as many bad guys as possible but no good guys.

damage: 9d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 2, 4, 4, 2, 5, 4) = 30

As the enemies are reeling from Tad's fireball, Ninneye jumps over Makras, ducking blows from red and yellow to get behind yellow.

Tad lobs another fireball.

Two of Aspis fail as they drop screaming.

Ninneye Yellow is dead I'll asssume you attacked Red I'll assume someone heals the bard immediately

Combat over

Juis quickly heals the bard.

Cure Serious Wounds: 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5, 8) + 6 = 20

Arie awakens again and instinctively flinches, expecting another attack. She then sighs in relief.
"I tale it we won?"

She will then take her CLW wand out and poke herself until fully healed..

Tad checks to see how everyone is doing after the quick healing, ready to heal as needed.

He starts out with 2 channels.
4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 6) = 13
4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 3, 1) = 14

(now at 50)
Then he licks his healing wand and heals himself.
CLW from wand on self: 4d8 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3, 3, 4) + 4 = 18

stopping at down by 2, used 4 charges on self.

Tad offers to use anyone else's wand on them, or is happy to share his if needed.

"Fear, flame, and fatality--the merest glimpse of what the future holds for each of us!"

"Well, let's just leave a good tale or two for when we go?"

"Tad, I don't suppose I could have some healing? I don't have a wand."

where to? Which room next?

heal Ninneye: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
(now full after the channels)

The pinky on Makras' right hand disappears almost entirely into his left nostril. As he wiggles it around, he says "What are we here for? A book or some such? Probably not in the gardens."

"So, what did we find before we were so rudely attacked?"

"We have the book, but we need a certain scholar, and I doubt we'll find him in the garden, too high a risk of him trying to escape. Maybe there's a study or something similar."

"We have the book, but we need a certain scholar, and I doubt we'll find him in the garden, too high a risk of him trying to escape. Maybe there's a study or something similar."

right you went looking for the library and didn't search the other rooms. so where did you want to go? Let's move along please :)

Makras shrugs and heads towards a nearby door.

I'll try "A13"--I don't think we've been there?

"Just a moment first...
Ninneye searches the door for traps.
Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20

"Yes. Lets check for traps first. I imagine this entire place will have them."

Follows behind Makras as he heads for the next area.

the door isn't trapped

opening the door

A thick rug with interlocking geometric designs covers the
marble floor of this lushly appointed office. Two fatly stuffed
leather sofas, an enormous desk of red-tinged wood carved
with ancient Osirian motifs, and a large high backed chair
fitted with colorful silk cushions dominate the northern
half of the room. The focus of the southern half is a tall iron
safe, black and imposing, angular runic designs painted in
gold about its heavy surface. Four statues of roughly worked
marble—winged dwarven forms holding lanterns—flank the
safe, two to a side. A wood panel at the center of the western
wall stands strangely askew, and a whiff of sulphur lingers in
the air.

if you go to A12

if you go to A14

let me know if you move into A13 or elsewhere

Since Makras stated he went into A13, Tad will follow there.

Peeking in from outside Arie notices that safe.
"Ah, THAT look important. Also looks like an obvious trap..."
She will cast Detect Magic on the room, particularly the safe...

"Yeah, my bet's on summoning something that'll try to eat us, or exploding."
Ninneye checks the safe for traps.
Perception: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25

As the others busy themselves with trap detection, Makras trudges over to the chair with the silk cushions and takes a load off, sighing contentedly.

"Yeah, my bet's on summoning something that'll try to eat us, or exploding."

Ninneye checks the safe for traps.
[dice=Perception]1d20+17

Arie realizes that the safe isn't magical as the dwarf plops down on a chair.

"Oh crap..."
Ref: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20

"Oh crap..."

The tengu slips down a 30 ft pit.

damage: 5d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 3, 3, 5) = 16

Inside the safe I'll assume you open it by picking the lock

Inside is Besai’s arcane
bonded ring and regular clothing, three fat volumes of
business transactions of the past 3 years, and a pair of iron
lock boxes. Inside the first iron lockbox are three small bars of platinum (worth 1,500 gp each) and four withdrawal slips, each made out for 2,000 gp, which is currently deposited at the Embelliada Bank
in Katapesh

And a 2nd lock box.

is anyone taking the contents?

lets try and finish by 2/8

Juis moves over to the pit and looks down, "Anyone has a rope to help Ninneye to get out of the pit?"

"Ha! Poor bastard. An early taste of the pits of Hell we'll all be in once this sorry excuse for a world cracks into pieces. I don't got rope, but this'll keep him company until the end." Makras throws a waterskin full of rotgut into the pit.

Arie shakes her head.
"No one has a rope?"

If not she'll sigh and shake her head again.
"Well, I have a scroll of fly but i'd have to touch you to cast it on you and if I cast it on me, I wouldn't be able to lift you out."
She looks back to see who looks the strongest in the party..."

"I have a grappling hook, and a rope. Here, someone catch."
Assuming someone catches it...
climb: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
DC for climbing a rope is 10 I believe
"Well, that was the pits."

Arie will take the hook, attach it to the leg of the chair Makras is siting in. "Stay there and help anchor that.."

She'll then talk into the pit "Come on up!"

Arie will take the hook, attach it to the leg of the chair Makras is siting in. "Stay there and help anchor that.."

She'll then talk into the pit "Come on up!"

ok the tengu is up. Do you take the stuff? What else do you do?

Juis goes to Ninneye and sees to his falling wounds.

Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (2, 5) + 6 = 13

"It might be a bad idea to take any of that stuff. We are not here for it anyway."

I wasn't sure from the description--is there a second lockbox in the safe that we haven't opened yet? I just want to make sure the book isn't in there, since books come in all sizes.

We already found the book, here. We just need to find the scholar.
