Toadkiller's Diplomacy (E): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

Toad tries to inspire his buddies then exploits…

Esoteric Lore, Exploit Vulnerability (E) vs Liaskra: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 1 = 22

He moves, slow to get into position

Grams heads up and lays down a crit on the solid orange dashed minion.

Toadkiller inspires his allies and moves forward. He knows that the rare white crayon is especially effective against Shisk but doesn't know any more.

Shisk are Rare, meaning the that the Recall Knowledge DC is higher, so Toadkiller doesn't learn anything from Diverse Lore

Liaskra points at the Grand Marshal in front of her. "Unleash!" as she does a cool trick draw and slices Grand Mshe shouts and the green and orange minions weave together magic and each fire a trio of missiles at Grand Marshal.

3x MM: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4, 1) + 3 = 9
3x MM: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3) + 3 = 10

Grams protects the Marshal from Orange and retaliates.

axe battler + Toad Marshal: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15
slashing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Connecting with the unarmored enemy despite the clumsy strike

Disapointed that her minions didn't drop Grand Marshal she does a cool twirl as she pulls out a kukri and bonks the martial over the head with it

kukri vs Grand Marshal FF: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21
bludgeoning damage: 1d6 + 7 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 7 + (1, 3) = 17

A massive blow! Staggering the Grand Marshal for just a moment.

She then steps, her back now against the wall in a more defensive position.

”Focus! Take the boss down!” yells Dethor, as he attempts to feint Liaskra.

deception to feint: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
assume that fails

Failing that, he stabs twice with Ol’ Stabby!

Ol’ Stabby: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Princess Sunset grows angry as the Grand Marshal is hurt. "Don't you hurt him!" Her voice echoes off of the walls compelling Liaskra.

Amped Forbidden Thought on Liaskra (Strike)

Forbidden Thought Damage: 2d6 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 + 4 = 15 DC 19 Basic Will. Failure is also Stunned 1

◇ Unleashe Psyche Round 1
◆ Stride
◆◆ Forbidden Thought (Liaskra)

Domwurd works a big of transmutation magic, directing at Grams. In seconds the dwarf grows larger than life, causing the normally stocky woman to tower over their foes.

He then takes a second to study Liaskra, trying to understand just what they are.
Recall Knowledge (Society): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

"Shiska is it? More like a shishka bob when we are done with you!"

Bon Mot vs will on Liaskra: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

That's a crit for panache! And bad news for her.

Contrarian that his is, he moves in to flank orange dash and delivers a confident finisher!

+1 Striking Aldori Dueling Sword with Confident Finisher: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Slashing: 2d8 + 2d6 ⇒ (8, 1) + (1, 4) = 14
Half of 2d6 bonus on a miss.

Princess tries to impose her will on Liaskra as she repositions and unleashes her psyche.

Dethor gets a stab in and gets a face full of quill for his trouble.

piercing damage to Dethor: 2d8 ⇒ (1, 8) = 9
Basic Reflex DC 21, + on a crit fail 1d4+1 persistent bleed.

Good news is, is there's not enough quills to do that again.

Domwurd embiggens his ally and scratches his head about Liaskra.

Grand Marshall makes a biting quip before taking a tactical reposition to finish off orange with a crit!

Solid Blue meets his thumbs together, fanning out his fingers and unleases sheets of flame.

burning hands: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6
Basic DC 17 Reflex save for Grams, Toad and Princess.

reflex dc21: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Dethor manages to avoid most of the quills. (wow, evasion isn’t until level 7)

Toadkiller's Reflex (E): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Toad rubs his white crayon on his Toadslicer and moves in along the table… slices! Need to double move…

Toadslicer: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 1 = 24
S, Empowerment: 2d6 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (3, 6) + 3 + 4 = 16 ANd personal antithesis

Princess Sunset screams as part of her face begins to droop from the heat of the flames.

Reflex (trained): 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 1 = 21

Despite being a big target, Grams manages to avoid the worst of the fire. Hemmed in by the furniture and her poppet friend, she steps in to close with the flaming monster and swings for the fences, trying to make sure it never hurts anyone again.

"That's enough out of you!"

Stride, Strike x2

Battleaxe Strike: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10

1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

And Retributive Strike if opportunity presents itself.

Dethor manages to only get a shoulder full of quills, which I'm told is much better than a face full.

Toadkiller gets a little bit toasted but uses his white crayon to good effect with a big strike on Liaskra.

Princess screams and melts a little bit but seems no worse for wear.
That looks like a crit success for no damage

Big Grams also only looks a little toasty.

She swings are axe at the solid blue one taking it down, before sweeping her enlarged axe over to Green Dots and taking it down with a single blow!

Lisarka grimaces "My your dreams be cursed to die a thousand deaths!" as she twirls her kukri before going for another bonk on Dethor's head.

trick attack vs Dethor: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
b damage: 1d6 + 7 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 7 + (3, 1) = 14

She follows up with another attack, hoping to finish off Dethor in service of her mother.

more kukri: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 14 - 4 = 24
more bludgeoning damage, maybe she should sharpen this: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Dethor teeters, but stands tall.

Domwurd moves a bit closer to Liaskra, hurling more magic at the meanie.

Slashing: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

Domwurd and Bosch are able to take down the saughter of Aslynn!

Out of Combat.

Dethor falls to one knee. ”She was a real pain in the tail. And me shoulder and hip. ”

"The daughters of the night hag seem to be both difficult and numerous," Domwurd says, shaking his head. "Thankfully, they're also all bark and no bite."

With Liaskra defeated you can recover the set of notes she stole from the Divination lounge.

You also find +1 handwraps and a decorative scabbard inlaid with gems worth 5gp.

Fragments Collected:
Conjuration (Summoning Paintings)
Ajburation (Tapped Cabinets)
Divination (Hedge Maze)
Necromancy (Necro Hazard)
Enchantment (Lecture Hazard)
Evocation (Fog Elemental)
Transmutation (Owl Statue)
Illusion (Stolen by Liaskra)

What next?
And don't forget about your faction missions.

"Should we go find out if we have all the papers?" Princess wonders. "I think we do." Her drooping face seems to harden back up slightly as she holds them all up.

”Sure. Might as well bring it to the skull. ”

Bringing all the notes back down to Alyreha she grins. "Wow, all 8 pieces really trying to get ahead with your overachieving. I expected you to come back and check in, but I guess it all worked out."

She ponders the documents for a few minutes before speaking out her truename.

A brilliant arcane light bursts forth from the skull she inhabits. As the light fades, sitting on the desk before you is a small, elderly Garundi woman dressed in flowing desert robes bearing the symbol of a Nexian arclord.

She quickly rummages through her shelves and books and spends the next several hours going room-to-room and restoring all her wards and defenses, speaking to you as she goes through "Thank you all for your help, I was going out of my skull, missing the rest of my body. Super glad my research didn't fall into somebody else's hands."

In the top room Alyreha also notes "Oh, Liaskra! She's the one who interrupted my name erasure ritual, causing it to fail. Aslynn had some stupid plan to cook true names together, boiling them into stew or some sort of nonsense. Last chance to ransack an Arclord's house as part of the deal, or even just have a nice chat before I starting figuring out if Nex is going to go after me for back taxes and other administrative nonsense."

”You should go talk to your ghost student. She is quite upset. ”

"Couldn't even leave her room." Princess says shockingly. "What are you going to do with all these names?"

"It's all my name, I needed it to get back together, now I'll go see to my student and then get back to sorting out my research. I really do appreciate all your help."

"Well, dear, it was our pleasure. That said, if Aslynn's kin interrupted your ritual once before -- and we're here again now -- what's to say they won't try to do so again," Grams says, appearing to be deep in thought. Now, obviously you've got a big brain in that skull of yours, but ... she's a tough one. Maybe the Society can keep offering its protection? I think you've seen how well we work -- you sent folks into the sewer and they still came back to help -- so maybe we can keep working together? If you store your research at the Grand Lodge, well ... it hardly gets broken into at least not much more than once a year, at best, so it could potentially be safer there."

Going to need a skill check from Grams, as well as anybody else who wants to join in on earning persuasion points.

Grams did a good job on touching on most of the salient arguments.
15 Diplomacy check to Make a Request, (Ask directly)
Deception check to Lie, (Pathfinder lodge is totally safe)
Intimidation check to Coerce (Aslynn muking about with stuff is bad)
*Pathfinder Society Lore* (Skyreach security details)

(Arcana or Occultism to Recall knowledge (To show you're not total noobs regarding true magic) is also usable.

*Only usable once.

”Yeah, you should definitely come back with us. The Grand Lodge is the safest place on Golarian, and should something happen, that totally won’t, you have all those powerful Pathfinder Seekers there to help out. ”

deceptiom: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Diplomacy (trained): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

"Come back and play with us some more in the Lodge. I am sure they will give you a room to store all of your notes and experiments in." Princess hugs Alyreha.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Hero Point: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

"I think you will find that as a group, Pathfinders are youthful and invigorating to work with. Why, we positively breathe life into our allies!"

Diplomacy (E): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

Dethor: Success (1 Persuasion)
Grams: Fail
Princess Fail
Grand Marshal: Critical Success (2 Persuasion)

3 points so far.
Domwurd & Toadkiller remain.

"We have our own vaults of magic too. So if you ever get bored with the study of True Names you can throw a stick and study the next artifact or forbidden magic topic," Domwurd says, his excitement obvious. "It's one of the reasons why I joined. But the other is that the Society does good in this beautiful world of ours. We're curious, but we also care."

"But yes, loads of magic. Just the other week I was examining a fascinating collection of enchanted bones. They could..."

Domwurd spills what he knows about some of the more interesting magic items he's studied.
Arcana: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19
Hero Point please.
Arcana: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33

Even if Toadkiller crit fails it, with the bonus from managing to recover all 8 pieces you're guaranteed success.

Alyreha nods "You've shown your compotency here, and clearly Asylnn already knows about this place. I'll store the notes in Skyreach, out of Aslynn's grasp."

Later back at the Lodge Sebnet is impressed enough that she grants you a Ganjay book and a dose of oxygen ooze.
