Galen looks through the myriad of scrolls on the shelf. He finds one in a beautifully preserved scroll case. He has a look but discovers that the scroll within happens to be the shopping list for a wealthy shopkeeper. Sighing, he redoubles his efforts and finds another scroll tied with a black ribbon. Opening the scroll, he finds that this is, in fact, a scroll containing a Darkness spell!

Drilwenwenas has a look in the pile of treasures. Unfortunately, for some reason, Plantina keeps getting in the way and he doesn't find anything. Enrax joins them and searches a different area. He finds a curious bauble but realizes that it's only a paste replica.

A cry from Rain in Cloudy Day pierces the vault. "Oh, no! She's back!" Moments later, an imposing figure steps into the vault, striding straight past the cowering Pathfinder. With her wild hair, wicked curved horns, sharp teeth, and glowing eyes, she's a fearful sight. The bones of her enormous, clawed hands make hideous cracking sounds as she heaves on a chain wrapped around her torso, dragging an iron cauldron across the stone floor. It nearly tips, spilling a glob of vile black ooze filled with vibrant constellations.

She casts her gaze around the vault and rises to her full height. She speaks, her voice like a dying goat by a crackling fire. "What is this? Ah yes, I see. Precious treasures, all for me! A dagger, its twin my child wields. I command you, Star: break cities! Burn fields! A key, its message yet unclear. Why does it hide? What does it fear? Pathfinders! You'll seek boundless wonder across the land... and find Aslynn's nightmares, hand in hand!"

Aslynn stoops to grasp the chain once more and proceeds with her cauldron into the vault, still ignoring Rain and anyone else around her. Suddenly, a new voice—a harsh whisper—carries through the air. "Psst! Hey, you! Pathfinders! She's not real. Well, not too real. Just a bit. No time to explain! You've got to distract her! Don't let her find what she's looking for! Distract her, then find a way to get rid of her!"

There are two phases to this next encounter. Your goal is to first distract Aslynn from the treasure pile, then to trap her. Fail this and she gets what she wants.

To distract Aslynn from the treasure it seeks - Deception/Performance/Occultism

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Tandang finds that voice seems to come from every direction at once, as if from a talented ventriloquist. "Amazing, it is everywhere." he tells Plantina. "Hide in the shelves! We will take care of her." Plantina follows Tandang and squeezes herself among the scrolls in the shelf. Tandang draws her weapon and shield, ready to attack Aslynn that is currently looking for something.

Tandang has Deception -1, Performance +1, and Occultism +1.

Deception +5 is all that Merisiel can contribute.

"My knife. Not yours."

Perception:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

Occultism:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

There is no dagger around. But what do you think about this vial? Perhaps does it contain a genie...

Perception:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

Yeah, I'm not trained in any of those skills either.

Drilwenwenas manages to distract Aslynn.

Next part is open ended. Come up with a plan to trap her. Any skill ok if you make it fit. Need 2 consecutive successes or 1 crit success.

Tandang brings forth rock to make the area around Aslynn be difficult for her to traverse, and consequently, escape.

Cast a Spell, Scatter Scree, DC 19 basic Reflex save vs 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2) + 4 = 9 bludgeoning damage (squares affected by the spell become Difficult Terrain)

Not a skill, really, but maybe it can give some bonus to anyone who would attempt to trap her with some skills?

”Get her! She will have a hard time, escaping that!”

The ifrit is looking fo the moment to drop a shelf upon Aslynn. He chooses the time when the hag is in the middle of her scatter scree issue.

Athletics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

The issue with Scatter Scree is that Aslynn isn't really there (see the voice) so terrain will not affect her. Also because Drilwenwenas is holding her attention, he cannot try to trap her as well. Apologies - I should have mentioned that beforehand. Tandang - you can have your action back.

Other PCs other than Drilwenwenas must attempt the checks.

The orc is trying to push a shelf on Aslynn.

Athletics:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

Merisiel isn't precisely sure how to trap something that isn't there, but here is probably something in the vault important to Aslynn's manifestation. She tries to disrupt the hag by claiming that object.

Thievery: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

2 crits! You only needed 1! :)

Enrax manages to get Aslynn to get under a shelf and he drops it on top of her, hopelessly tangling her in the stuff that spilled from it. Aslynn manages to pull herself free. She shrieks with delight and rushes to the pile of treasure at the center of the vault. "It's here! I can taste it! Come to me, my dearest nightmares!" She rakes through the treasure with her claws, scattering coins and shredding pages. "Where is it?! Where?! I must have it! What have you done with it?!" With a final shriek, she curls in on herself, melding with the ooze from her cauldron. She and the cauldron melt into the floor, bubbling and hissing. The sounds turn to frantic chittering as dozens of rats begin pouring from the ground.

Woah, easy there, friends!

Galen begins waving his arms in a slow, calming motion which ends with him placing one finger in front of his lips making a shhhhh noise.

◆◆Cast Calm Emotions which can hit all of the enemies. Will save, DC 20.

Tandang leaves Plantina and sends an icy blast the rat closest to him (Blue single rat).

Tandang launches a snowball at the Blue ROUS. It hits and does some damage. Galen casts a spell that tries to remove the violent intentions of the rats.

All of the rats except for the blue ROUS appear to calm down. The remaining rat seems to be torn between attacking you and wanting to settle down.

So what do you plan to do with your pet rats?

Galen concentrates to maintain his control over the fury of the rats. Their Will isn't too strong, but the sheer number of them is taxing. He looks over toward the one how did not succumb to his spell.

Looks like one got away.

He moves to engage.

Enrax swings at Blue and nearly severs its tail.

The Blue ROUS tries to chomp Galen.

Unfortunately, the spell on it keeps it from wanting to hurt Galen.

You can consider all the rats aside from Blue as FF since they're not actively trying to bite you. So if you want to try to eliminate them go ahead. Just remember, once the spell wears off or if you take hostile action against them (like try to kill them :) ), they'll go hostile.

You have 2 rat swarms and a rat the size of a horse left. If they were reasoning creatures, I could let you try to persuade them to leave you alone... But they don't appear to be... So what now? Remember, once the spell wears off or if Galen decides not to sustain it, they'll try to kill you again :)

Realizing his mistake that one of his allies tries to calm the rats down, Tandang moves closer and shoos the Swarm 2 of rats away. "We can just let them go, maybe?"
Nature: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

◆ Stride
◆◆ Shoo them away

Drilwenwenas marks Swarm 3 as prey and annihilates most of the rats, rendering the swarm ineffective. Kaclenna heads over to Swarm 2 and tries to do the same. However, her success isn't as effective as the ifrit and the Swarm immediately turns hostile as she kills some of their number.

Tandang heads over to try to shoo Swarm 2 away. Not quite sure what was said but the rats appear to get even angrier.

Only the Red ROUS is calm. Swarm 2 will act since Kaclenna failed to kill it.

COMBAT OVER

You manage to trace the voice to Area 4, where Rain had dumped all the empty chests. As you approach, a disembodied pair of elegant blue gloves busily clears chests off a table. The gloves make a "Stop right there!" gesture before signaling toward the table. They gently pat its surface, then indicate the boxes on top of it. The voice from earlier says, "I see you've met Mr. Glovely! He wants you to help clear those boxes. I'm, uh, underneath them. It's a bit embarrassing. Help a poor guy out? Many hands are better than two! No offense, Mr. Glovely." The gloves wave dismissively, as if to say, "None taken."

No checks necessary at this point, though you need to decide if you want to help Mr Glovely out

The ifrit says to Catlyn: Stay here. Sit down.

And he goes to see what's happening.
