Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Tibold wasn't paying attention when he grabbed the folded cloth near the door in the blazing room, but he quickly learned trying to smother fire with freshly cleaned silk drapes was not at all a smart move. When the fabric ignited quickly and scorched his hands, he cries out and panics trying to fling it away, but the heat catches it like a sail and blows it almost over the top of him. He manages to bat it away, but not before suffering some bad burns.

Takes 7 fire damage.

Reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Brightberry is beginning to feel better about this fire situation. He has kept himself safe and has been successful in putting the fire out. He has had nightmares about now being able to put fires out.

Just as soon these comforting thoughts fill his head, fire leaps about the room. Someone fed the flames!

"Ow!"

As the flames leap up around her, Lyra cannot react quickly enough to avoid getting roasted. The heat and flames scorch her but she manages to finally help quell the fires.

Daily Update
Edoom and Lyra put out second room after the fire flares up and damages the heroes. The third room is left to extinguish, and it burned hot but no one was near enough to be burned.

The group has one more room on fire.

"Have I ever told you, you're not my favorite person?"

◆ Move to room 3
◆ Survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Edoom grins at Tibold his teeth unnaturally white contrasted to his soot blackened face. "Don't worry. I'm an acquired taste".

Lyra moves out after the others, the burns on her face and arms still smarting. She enters the other room, which is still ablaze, and helps the others with extinguuishing the remaining flames.

Survival to extinguish: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Survival to Extinguish flames: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Hopefully that puts the fire out for good!

Daily update
In an amazing display of teamwork, the four attack the fire from different angles. Edoom uses brute force to extinguish flames as the others attack the fire at the base, and soon the last room has no more fire. The smoke continues to fill the hallway, but all the fire is out in your vicinity.

The first door to the right abruptly slams open. The room's A18 on map plain stone walls and polished floors have already become stained with smoke. At the far end of the room, atop a stone dais, stands an armored statue of a half elf woman. One of her hands clutches a heavy shield and the other is clenched in a fist over her heart. The smoke is notably absent from this room.

"Come on. There is a suspicious looking statue here... but the smoke is cleared here. And close the door after you".

◆ Move

◆ Raise Shield

For some reason I don't see A18 on the map in the link above.

fixed!! Had to removes some fog of war.

Edoom Defends

Edoom steps further into the room. "That's strange. A statue of Milani in here".

"Milani? That's clearly the Inheritor. See how fierce she is?" Lyra enters the room carefully, looking around for anything else of note. If she doesn't see anything, she motions to the others to leave. "Lady Jamandi isn't here, so no sense standing around."

Lyra's Exploration Action in this room is Search, but if she spies nothing it will revert to Scout for moving down the hall.

Everbloom? That sounds okay. Maybe all of their gods aren't selfish individuals.

Brightberry will also use Search for this room. When moving beyond, he will keep Guidance on Lyra for a +1 to her search.

Tibold carefully looks around the area.

"Didn't we see a similar statue in the Assassin Garden earlier?" He peers carefully at the elf woman figure. He scrunches his nose in thought. "You sure this ain't Iomedae? What race was she before she got godlified? I never really paid attention in Sunday School." Yup, it still would be 'Sunday School' in Golarion.

Tibols Searches while holding his reloaded crossbow ready to fire if more enemies appear.

Daily Update
The group searches the room.

Lyra notices the magical effects keeping the smoke out come from the statue. Encouraged by a calming effect from the statue, Lyra meditates a single minute and is refreshed. She encourages other to do so too.

Anyone meditationg for a minute recieves the benefit of a daily rest and gets to perform daily preparations.!!

Moving to the west and opening the door to the gallery, drifting coils of smoke waft in the air in this finely furnished room. Padded chairs and tables are set along the west wall and a thick burgundy carpet covers most of the floor. Oil paintings hang on the walls, and shelves are filled with statues and art curios.

The gnome Tartuccio is sprawled face down on the floor, dead still.

Tokens moved{

Edoom moves to the gnome's side to look for any signs of life.

1d20 ⇒ 2 Medicine

"Ah, that's a shame," Tibold says when they see the gnome. "He may have been a bit of an elitist asshat, but his spell power would have been pretty useful right about now."

Brightberry will meditate at the statue! Changing Redleaf's dailies as well.

"Oh, that was nice. Was this the Everbloom fellow?"

After moving west.

Looking at the gnome, "That's too bad.". He says as he walks by. Casting stabilize on him as he does so. "Just in case"

Tertuccio is stabilized after Edoom cannot figure out what to do with him thanks to the druidic magic.

Three doors (S, W, N) are in this room as you came in from the SE. Lyra's eyes had scanned the room, not finding anything of note.

Edoom helps move the unconcious Tertuccio to one of the sofas in the room then urges the others onward. "Come let's check this door to the North".

Edoom first feels the door for warmth, listens, then opens if he detects nothing unusual.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Lyra doesn't really cast a second glance at the fallen Turtuccio. This is a war, and people die. Didn't seem like a very friendly sort anyway.

When Edoom is ready to move out, she covers him with her bow, ready to shoot if anything menacing is waiting on the others side of the door.

With the night's rest effect, Lyra is at 14/20hp now.

Brightberry gives Edoom a curt nod and then smiles widely.

Edoom bursts into the room. This large room contains several padded chairs, a comfortable looking pair of couches, several side tables and a finely crafted billiard table. On the couch bound and gagged is Jaethal, and two assassins and a what seems to be their boss are interrogating the dark humanoid.

They were distracted enough Lyra is able to use her finely tuned reflexes to get a jump on them, but the others are slower to act.

Did Edooms Nat 20 on the perception give away the sounds of the questioning?

Bound and gagged, the "interrogation" involved little words. A pool of blood is on the floor and on the couch.

Lyra's eyes widen at the scene, including the assassin's leader and the body of Jaerthal. From the doorway, she marks the bad guys directly across the billiard table as her prey, then fires a pair of arrows at that target.

Daily Update
Edoom had move into the room with his shield raised, and as Lyra fired at the assassin hidden behind the billiard table her shots seemed to miss the mark as she was careful to miss Edoom. Further complicating matters, Edoom's quick defensive reaction caught her by surprise and her reactions for her follow up were slowed.

Jaethal makes a muffled sound from behind her gag as the assassins leap at their leader's command.

The leader fires a crossbow at Edoom and misses and moves closer and throws a dagger that strikes him. Edoom drops and begins to bleed.

Lyra regained her momentum deftly dodging the defending Edoom and getting back on track.

Yes, with the crit roll Lyra is back in the mix.

As Tibold begins firing his crossbow, he realizes that he is safe to heal Edoom without anyone attacking him. He visualizes what just happened as Tibold laying down a line of fire between himself and the attackers allowing Brightberry the freedom to save their companion.

"Hmm. I'm calling that move suppressive fire."

Brightberry concentrates on Edoom, from where he is, and begins healing his wounds.

◆◆ Heal: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

And then winks at Lyra

◆ Guidance - +1 to you next whatever.

Lyra catches the wink from Brightberry as he sends healing energy to the fallen Edoom, and it fills her with hope for a moment, even if one of their number was already down. Determined, she sees this is going to be an up close fight. She holds the doorway, trying to keep the assassins inside the room. She drops her longbow, draws out her longsword and attacks the hunted prey through the door way.

Longsword + guidance: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 = 16
Longsword, 2nd strike: 1d20 + 6 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 6 - 5 = 7
Dmg, if first strike is a hit, precision: 1d8 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (7) + 2 + (1) = 10

Drop bow as free action
Strike x2

Not sure if attacking around the door corner carries a penalty, but will let you apply. If its a hit, the first strike vs hunted prey per round does an extra 1d8 precision dmg (included in the roll).

Recap round1
Edoom moved into the room as Lyra fired at an assassin across the room. The assassins leapt into action, and among the three they were able to bring Edoom down.

Tibold fired two crossbow bolts and missed having a hard time hitting the nimble assassins. Lyra strode into the room dropping her bow as she used a sword strike to drop one of the assassins as Brightberry adds some needed healing magic to help Edoom.

Edoom lies prone with no weapons.

Edoom moved into the room as Lyra fired at an assassin across the room. The assassins leapt into action, and among the three they were able to bring Edoom down.

Tibold fired two crossbow bolts and the first one hit in an artery the hunted prey assassin's shouder but the wound seemed like it could have been more severe. The second one missed the nimble assassins. Lyra strode into the room dropping her bow as she used a sword strike to drop the wounded assassin and her hunted prey. Brightberry adds some needed healing magic to help Edoom.

Tertucio makes a snore on the couch.

He then glares at one of the ones who hurt him so bad and morphs his hand into a claw with razor sharp talons, and swings at him.

"Thanks for the help Brightberry".

Edoom stands and uses magic to grow claws and rip into the assassin next to him leaving the assassin coughing up blood after a claw in the chest rips him open a bit.

The assassin strikes twice with his daggers at Edoom. One strikes missing his neck 3 slashing as he retreats behind the table. The leader draws a dagger, advances to Jaethel and cuts her sending her unconscious and bleeding again.

The leader hisses ”Stand down or she dies!!

Tibold calls through the doorway. "Totally depends on your aim here. We're not going to stand here and let you just kill us for the sake of that person. You want us to stop attacking you so you can escape? Cool, get the Abyss out of here then. Leave our Urgathoac friend there and beat it. If it's anything else, this ain't going to end until your dead, my guy, regardless of whatever you do."

Substituting Urgathoac for Gothic since I imagine that wouldn't be a word in Golarion vernacular. Tibold doesn't know Jaethal's religious leanings as he wasn't a part of that conversation, but I'm just extrapolating that Urgathoans may have a similar aesthetic to Goth, so it's more of a fashion comment rather than knowledge of her personally.

Tibold creeps over to the snoring gnome wizard and administers an Elixir of Life.

Elixir of Life (minor): 1d6 ⇒ 3

Think the Stride, Interact (withdraw potion), Interact (dispense potion) should be all I can do.

Think I moved the tokens where you intended

Lyra, sword in hand, leaps through the doorway and at the wounded assassin. "I don't care if you kill her, I don't even know her but you'll end up just as dead."

She attacks the Black Tear minion with her longsword after marking it as her hunted prey on the way forward.

Lyra longsword: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 possible critical?

The minion folds in a flurry of Lyra’s steel.

Tertuccio rises, groggy and coughing.
”Thanks, wait, you in a fight??”
Tertuccio jumps to his feat drawing a vial with a lightning bolt symbol on it from a belt pouch.

Edoom smiles at Lyra as she eliminates his eminent threat. He then stare right at the boss and without losing his gaze bends over and picks up his Katana, and if necessary shield.

Since a shield is strapped on did it drop to or do I just need to raise it again.

◆ Pick up Katana
◆ Raise Shield
◆ Demoralize... or pick up shield.

This one I will make suffer.

"They don't die as easily when they fight back."

Brightberry focuses his last healing spell on Jaethal and then gives her a bit of a boost, just in case.

◆◆ heal: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

oof. Maybe she can fight back

◆ guidance on J

daily update
Healing energy infuses Jaethal after Brightberry moves within 30’ and can see her. Edoom draws his weapon and shield from the ground and raises his shield while prone.

The assassin draws another dagger and attacks the restrained Jaethal with a wicked double strike.
