Excuse me Ms Astrid. What would be your reaction if you had a very close female friend and a person of the male persuasion was visiting her in hospital bearing flowers?

I don't think I can skip this, but if all the good rolls before me mean that the bell is already disabled, Jiki instead just congratulates everybody on a job well done.
While one goblin takes things apart, another looks for small weaknesses that can be exploited.
You can certainly skip any of these checks as a failure will add 5 minutes at a minumum. But a Crit Success could take off 5 minutes.
It takes roughly 20 minutes to disassemble the bells with noone getting hurt by slowly lowering the screaming face clappers first. Narcela seems far more relieved once this process is completed.
You easily destroy the planar netting below the bells with a simple swipe from your blades. As it falls free so too does the magic running through their fibers.
Patrick believes it was a barrier keeping the Gale's Claw from leaving this Plane without Aslynn.
Narcela suddenly shudders and hunches over in pain. Her extremities ripple, the skin on her forearms turning to a dark gray as her fingers stretch, nails lengthening into claws. After a few moments, the strange attack passes, and her limbs return to normal. Taking in deep breaths of air to calm herself, she straightens, and wipes sweat from her brow.
DC 26 Society or Religion or DC 28 Arcana, Medicine, or Occultism:
It seems Aslynn has begun her ritual to transform her changeling daughter into a night hag.
Bremix looks at Narcela with revulsion. “Lamashtu’s get!” he swears. “She’s got some sickness. Is this going to spread to the rest of us?!”

This strange room contains an assortment of work spaces and odd technological devices in all its nooks and crannies. A table in the center of the room contains straps and discarded surgical tools alongside several gears, wires, and other mechanical parts.
Aslynn forced the Ardis Scholars to work here, creating technological items to further her ambitions. The surgical table in the center of the room is used to add experimental augmentations to her allies.
A portly Ardis Scholar with a wild shock of gray hair and a clockwork prosthetic arm, is designing experimental Stasian augmentations for Aslynn in this room. He’s guarded by a trio of fanged humanoids with sickly transparent skin, revealing vivid colors of internal organs and ivory bones within their bodies.

Jiki looks for a way to free the Scholar without alerting the guards. His best option may to be inconspicuous and free the Scholar while Astrid is alerting the guards.

The alchemist is ready to draw a bomb if anybody seems threatening.

The goblin rushes inside the room to throw a bomb towards the red one.
His mind racing, Arrus then fires his crossbow at yellow, the enemy just barely in range.
Alchemical crossbow is only range 30, but Hunt Prey ignores first range increment, and Yellow is exactly 60
Crossbow Ace changes base damage from 2d8+2 to 2d10+4. Precision adds another d8. Flaming Rune is 1d6 fire, and alchemical fire in crossbow is another 1d6 fire. Final +1 from inspire courage.
Arrus then sprints forward, spreading out, reloading his crossbow as he goes.
Yes, I am assuming your weapns are out at all times in this relaxing castle.

Ukh rushes in and tosses fire bombs at one of the guards. It shatters across the creatures shoulder, igniting it on fire. Seeing fire as an effective killing tool Dranald sends a searing ray of holy light into another of the guards. Neither fiend nor undead.
Arrus recognizes these creatures as Urdefhans. Arrus remembers reading somewhere that when an urdefhan dies, its invisible flesh quickly rots away and sublimates into a foul-smelling gas that fills a 5-foot emanation around the body.
Arrus sprints out as his bolt misses the strange creatures. Astrid enjoys that the guards are willing to rumble. It ducks her shield but it unable to avoid the followup by her blade as it slices into its leg.
Jiki isn't quite sure he believes Arrus on what these creatures are but he doesn't know for sure exactly what they are quite yet as the goblin inspires the group by turning invisible.
The wounded urdefhan swings it's warhammer at Astrid as it tries to give itself a little bit of breathing room from her.

The creature scampers back as Astrid's skin begins to turn a strange translucent coloring around the bite area on her arm.
DC 27 Fort Save, Failure you are Drained 1 and Red regains 10 HP.
The other two Udefhan's begin a dark ritual as they spill blood into dark signs on the floor. The smell of sulfur fills the air as a devil and a demon appear nearby within the roo. "Slay those ones, and we have a deal." The Urdefhan's command.
One of the seething devils deftly wields a vicious, saw-toothed glaive, while below its toothy maw writhes a hideous, twitching beard.
The second demon is a muscular, red-eyed, goat-headed demon wields a burning sword. Fire licks up from its flaming hooves as it appears directly in front of Astrid. Color coded them to the creatures they were summoned by.
The goat headed demon rears back as it breathes a 20' line of greasy fire across the floor.
Fire Breath Damage (Astrid and Ukh):6d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 5, 4, 5, 5) = 24DC 21 Reflex. Rounds:1d4 ⇒ 2
The 20' line on the map is considered grease as well as the effects of the spell.
The bearded one rushes at Arrus, it's glaive sweping at his legs.

Patrick doesn't know what's worse - being rebuked or being ignored. He makes a mental note to discuss that with Fola Braun at his next counselling session.
His internal musings are interrupted by the combat. Since he's way back, he fires a heightened Ray of Frost at Red, hoping to take some of the pressure off Astrid

As the creature strikes at Astrid, the shield maiden instinctively interposes her shield between herself and his warhammer blunting much of its sting and causing his second attack to go awry.

Rather than figure out where she has seen this type of demon before she merely shrugs and lashes out.

@Patrick- That is norally a secret check, just let me know in the future you wanna do that action and I can pull it from the Macros.
Patrick's ray of frost freezes the Urdefhan's arm as it tries to pat the flames out. Looking around he recognizes a Bearded Devil among the mix. He knows that they are normally weak towards good aligned attacks.
Both of Ukh's alchemical attacks miss, but the bottled lightning does manage to splash a little into the red-eyed Urdefhan as he can't seem to catch a break.
Arrus ignores the bearded devil in his face and fires a small explosion into the other Urdefhan as the group tries to keep them split apart.
Bearded Devil AoO vs Arrus AC 27:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25
Arrus avoids a bleeding wound as he sprints away from the devil, whiffing his second shot.
Astrid blocks most of the damage coming her way as she rolls out fo the path of the grease fire before it is too late. Astrid lays down the hurt on the demon as her blade strikes again and again and again, nearly laying it to waste in a matter of seconds. The creature croaks as it barely remains standing, a small twitch of lightning leaping from it to one of the Urdefhan.
Jiki continues to singa nd inspire as he moves to a far more advantageous position.
Dranald conjures fortha spiritual blade that falls from the sky stabbing downward at the bearded devil.
Well out of reach the third Urdefhan summons forth his own devil as a second bearded devil appears just south of Ukh. The goblin barely has a moment to react as a glave cuts across at waist level.
Red Bearded Devil vs Ukh AC 27:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24 Red Bearded Devil vs Ukh AC 27:1d20 + 15 - 5 ⇒ (9) + 15 - 5 = 19
Uhk falls flat for a moment as he avoids the lethal strikes. Astrid watches as one of the most frightful aspects she has ever seen rises from the floor.
@Astrid- DC 28 Will Save vs Pantasmal Killer
Just as the unseen nightmare crawls towards Astrid the small demon releases a firebll inot Astrid and Ukh.

I have not added in inspire courage since I'm not certain I'm in range. If I am then add 1 to everything. I added frightened 1 from the phantasmal killer to all of Astrid's attacks. She should no longer be frightened now. If that AoO did not finish off the goat demon then the other attacks will go there until he is dead.
Also if that AoO was a crit then I believe that it will disrupt the spell and cancel the fireball.
Arrus' wounds continue to sizzle as he concentrates on aiming, landing another bolt into the wounded Urdefhan.
Astrid slays the Brimorak disrupting its fireball spell by simply killing it. Was not a crit but the AoO killed it. Reaction going off before the spells completion.
Astrid closes the distance on the wounded Urdefhan and stabs it in the side with her sword.

The goblin steps, reloads his crossbow and throws a bomb at the red Urdefhan.
Are you a bomber Ukh? Or does you splash hit Astrid as well?
Forgot Persistent Flat check on red.
Red Persistent Flat Check:1d20 ⇒ 17
Ukh tosses a strange devce at the Urdefhan. Murky purple gass begins to escape as it seems into the creatures translucent skin, but otherwise shows no har or distress. Immune to Fear.
Dranald sustains his spiritual weapon, though it misses the Urdefhan as it wobbles in the air. Jiki manages to get his inspiration to reach out a little further and longer this time as it collects into a single point hurting the poor and innocent bearded devil.
Fort DC 26:1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 15 + 1 = 32
The wounded Urdefhan steps back away from Astrid, having watched her just slaughter the demon and sends an acid arrow into her chest and face.

Infernal Wound:
Infernal Wound (divine, necromancy) A bearded devil’s glaive Strike also deals 1d6 persistent bleed damage that resists attempts to heal it. The flat check to stop the bleeding starts at DC 20. The DC is reduced to 15 only if the bleeding creature or an ally successfully assists with the recovery.
The DC to Administer First Aid to a creature with an infernal wound is increased by 5. A spellcaster or item attempting to use healing magic on a creature suffering from an infernal wound must succeed at a DC 21 counteract check or the magic fails to heal the creature.
Ukh cries out in pain as the deadly glaive slices the goblins side open.
The middle Urdefhan sees the acid arrow doing so well that he casts his own at Dranald as he tries to split the group apart.
Green Acid Arrow vs Dranald AC 27:1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34 Damage (Acid):5d8 ⇒ (3, 1, 5, 2, 1) = 12+2d6 Persistent Acid
Dranald shudders as the acid begins to melt inot his clothing. The third and also severely wounded Urdefhan sends a frightful scene towards Arrus. As Arrus turns to the side the wall caves in as a river of water instantly fills the room. He watches in horror as one by one his companions begin to slowly perish.
