Start of the Introduction

The air in this cavernous room holds a palpable excitement as Pathfinders fill it, joining together in small groups as they evaluate supplies and whisper excitedly about why everyone has been summoned to Kyonin. Representatives from all the nations of the Inner Sea and beyond have come, gathering together amid the haphazard assortment of tables and chairs, seemingly pulled together in support of this unprecedented mustering.

Please introduce yourselves and rollDiplomacy, Society, or Lore (Pathfinder society lore, all pathfinders get this lore for free, if you background gives you pathfinder society lore, you select another one for free, it is in the organized play guide. Also Kyonin Lore

A silver-haired Elf outfitted with eastern-style breastplate armor and a shield at his hip sheathed is a Katan joins the group as they assemble in a great hall somewhere in Kyonin. He gently scratches the chin of a tiny owl sitting on his shield rim, the elf speaking to it, **”No you can’t pick over their dead bones, they are fellow pathfinders! I’ll get you a mouse after the mission”**

Placing the bird into a Satchel designed for familiars, He turns his eyes upon the assembled group and sighs **”Greetings, I am Sundamar a warrior skilled with both blade and magic, The Society must have great faith in your abilities having assigned only one elven representative to insure the mission success. I’m sure everything will work out.”**

Society: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

A tiny ratfolk sniffs the the air as she scuttles over to the group. She clutches a book to her chest, her fingers stained several different colors and a dusting of...something on her nose.

"Hi! I'm Zekki. Happy to be here. Do you know why we've been called to Kyonin? I've never been to this part of the world. I don't think I've ever met an elf in person before. It makes sense that you're here, being Kyonin and all, but I haven't seen one before. Do you like being back in Kyonin? Actually, are you from Kyonin or somewhere else? Would you like a snack?"

She offers him a handful of tiny crackers which look surprisingly good.

You see a small mushroom leshy approach you all with a big warm smile and say,"Welcome all. I am Pelia and am from the Fangwood forest. Im an emissary of Gendowyn and the fey of the forest. Pleasure to meet you all and Im sure we'll work great together as a team"

diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

A chiseled warrior strides toward the gathering group. A set of tightly wound horns frame his head and his vaguely elven features complete his mien. He wears a breastplate that look more suited to display his pectorals than for any sort of protection, and a bastard sword is slung across his back.

"Is this where I'm supposed to be? You might recognize me from my glorious fighting days in the pits of the River Kingdom. If not, Armik is the name."

Skill checks You have learned the following, there may or may not be more information to learn.

Rumor holds that Venture-Captain Ciobanu was leading a covert operation with members of an elite team from his lodge when he disappeared. The stories say they were ambushed, with everyone in the group was assassinated by order of Queen Telandia. It wasn’t until recently that anyone even knew Ciobanu was still alive.

Venture-Captain Ciobanu is from the town of Folien, and was the leader of the lodge in Kyonin, known as the Leaves of Talhindir. The Society had been making great headwinds in gathering information about the history of Kyonin prior to Earthfall when suddenly he disappeared.

A Qadiran woman dressed heavily in a mix of teal and orange arrives. She's covered from head to toe in cloth, with scale mail showing at some places. Her face is the only skin thats visible and she has two smallish tattoos below her eyelids. She sports a scimitar on her waist and wears a wooden symbol of Sarenrae as a necklace. There is an air of confidence about her, and it is visible in her stride.

"Hello! I'm Kyra! I have your back, and I trust that you have mine!" she says.

Pathfinder Lore: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

"Good to meet everyone. Zekki, believe it or not, this is the first time I have been to Kyonin. I am from Jinin an elven nation in Tian Xia."

**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**

The raucous excitement that has filled the room comes to a calm as four figures step to the center. Fola Barun and Eando Kline are accompanied by a scholarly elven man and a lithe, hooded figure. Eando clears his throat and begins.

“Agents, thank you for braving the not-quite-so safe trip to join us here in the heart of Iadara. While publicly still unwelcome within Kyonin, when we received a cryptic message bearing her majesty’s seal, asking us to come here and lend aid, we took the chance. One of our foundational principles is cooperation, and in doing so here we have opened the door to an opportunity to foster mutual respect, loyalty, and trust; perhaps even to rebuild a bridge long burnt. However, this is better explained by the envoy the queen has sent to us.”

With that, the hooded figure takes the center of the floor. A feminine voice begins to speak from behind the cowl that obscures their face. “Thank you, Pathfinders, for obliging the request to come. You see, things here in Kyonin are not what they seem... And, let me start by clearing some of the confusion by introducing myself properly.”

As the elf lifts her hood, it starts to shimmer, and then falls back upon her shoulders. She lifts her head, making eye contact with the audience surrounding her, all the while the crystal in the center of the circlet encircling her fair forehead glows with the new day’s dawn.

“I am Queen Telandia, and I hope you will accept my apologies for concealing my identity, but there are many here in Iadara, in Kyonin as a whole, who still hear the title Pathfinder and find a bad taste in their mouth. For them to find me meeting with you would be very... bad for my health. However, I know this opinion doesn’t need to stay the case—even if the glacial pace of elven politics seems nigh impossible to change. After speaking with your former Venture-Captain of Kyonin,” she gestures to the other elf in the entourage. “I have come to ask a great favor from your society, one that is surely dangerous, though I’m still trying to discern how much so. I am certain that your success at this mission will help me to prove your worth as allies to others, possibly even speeding up politics.

“As for why I have called you to this place: the Tanglebriar at the edge of Kyonin is a horrid place. A twisting swamp filled with abyssal energy and other horrors one dares not speak of. Thankfully, the corruption within Kyonin has been kept to there—that is,until now. My agents have found information that indicates an individual named Nathatel Zephon is actively working to spread the message of his ‘elves first’ manifesto and is possibly involved with the spreading corruption.”

Amplifying his voice for the room to hear, Venture-Captain Ciobanu comes into the explanation. “There are pockets of woods in Kyonin that are starting to resemble places that have been tampered with, not the least of all my hometown of Folien. Reports state the area around the town has become darker, more sinister. You can never take the same way home as how you got there, and the shifting navigation has made it nearly impossible to get through if you don’t already know exactly where it is you’re going.”

The queen continues, “I’m certain something is messing with the town, working to find a way to take control of it and the ley lines running through there. What I need from you is to find your way to the town, find out exactly what is causing these concerns, and neutralize it with whatever means you must.”

Fola looks to the agents gathered in the large underground tavern, and then back to the queen. “Your Highness, I believe this is a challenge we can take on, and we’re grateful you’ve determined we’re the right people to help you.”

Eando smiles. “Of course we are. Containing power from being accessed by an evil enemy? This happens to be my area of expertise.” Venture-Captain Ciobanu looks at the rest of the agents in the room. “What say you? Are you with us?” As a cheer erupts from the crowd, he smiles. “Well, we have but a few moments for questions, feel free to come and ask, but then we must be on our way.”

Table GMs, please begin Part 1

A green skinned goblin with a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth scrambles out from under one of the tables. His hands are wrapped, dressed in leather armor with bandoliers of darts strapped across his chest and a steel shield in hand. "Wat's wiz all da ruckus. Tryin' ta sleep 'ere. Oh, 'tis da mission briefin'?" He looks at the group around him and says, I's be Chomper o' da Razortooth Tribe. We ready ta go?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

No additional information has been gained, you have achieved all the info anyway.

Five missions to choose from, pick one. I will take the first response if no answer is picked in 24 hours from this post, I will roll 1d5. Feel free to discuss in the discussion thread.

1 Forest Campsite
Venture-Captain Ciobanu approaches, the concern in his voice tinged with fear. “Our forward scouts report a group of elves trapped in the woods. With all this ever-changing overgrowth, I’m not surprised, but I do worry what will happen if we don’t help them out. I need you to go and escort them back to the road so they can get to somewhere safer, away from whatever power is affecting the forest.” Combat

2 Missing Agents
Upon approaching Eando Kline, he folds a piece of paper and puts it in his pocket as he begins to pace. “There are a few of our number who have, for lack of a better description, decided this mission doesn’t emphasize our core values as Pathfinders and have instead opted to desert. Due to your repeated dedication to the Society, I am sending you to catch up to them and convince them to come back—remind them of who the Pathfinders really are.” Exploration and Combat or diplomacy

3 Friends or Foes
Fola tilts her head, curling up her nose as a new thought hits her. “Agents, elves aren’t the only ones who inhabit this forest, though they are the most prevalent. The forest is also home to many fey, denizens who are no doubt being affected by these changes as well. Maybe we should see if we can find some of them, and if so, seek an alliance.” Various Skill and diplomatic challenges

4 Navigating the overgrowth
Eando swears softly at the maps he’s holding, frustration creasing his brow. “Looking at these charts, the way to town should be clear from here. Unfortunately, with all this overgrowth, I’m not sure which way we need to go next. I need you to go ahead of the rest of us and find a way through it, otherwise who knows what could happen while we’re stuck here?” Various Skill exploration challenges

5 Break Through
Venture-Captain Ciobanu looks at the twisted path ahead and then at his wayfinder. Closing it, he looks up. “I remember, when I was leading my lodge, the most important tasks came when I was helping other agents to overcome obstacles they couldn’t on their own. Getting to our destination is going to take supporting each other in much the same way. All of us have skills that we are better at than others, and we should use this opportunity to support each other. I need you to look around at your fellow agents and help them complete any tasks they’re struggling with.” Various Skill challenges

Sundamar nods his head at Fola’s request to find other denizens and seek an alliance, ” Undoubtedly a wise course of action to Seek who are Friends or Foes!”

(#3 Friends or Foes)

Kyra voices her concern "I feel more for saving those who are trapped."

#1 Forest Campsite

Five missions to choose from, pick one. I will take the first response if no answer is picked in 24 hours from this post, I will roll 1d5. Feel free to discuss in the discussion thread.

Yeah that meant the first person to respond in the gameplay thread, which is why I said discuss in the discussion thread. Sundamer is the first to respond.

You are off to find the local fey as Fola sends you. It is hard to find your way in the forest. Perception or survival checks or Forest Lore. Only roll if you think you have a good modifier, failures have consequences. You may roll twice. Also, Nature or Dryads lore or Forest Lore, failures here do not have consequences unless everyone fails.

The oracle looks around the spooky forest

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Armik 2ed does really good the first few hours, but has a little trouble the next few hours. Too many trees in the way, or he is avoiding all the dangers of the forest. 1 success and 1 failure. Armik may continue to roll until he has one more success, or let someone else roll. Failure is bad not for the person, but for the whole group.

Zekki keeps an eye out for tricksy fey creatures, helping Armik.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
Nature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Zekki gets the group back on track and finds signs of Dryads, they must be nearby, but it took you all long enough. Everyone is fatigued
However, Zekki does not find the Dryad itself. Failed the nature check, but that is okay, we only need 1 pc to succeed. Even a crit failure on nature won't penalize you, so all may try.

nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Pelia gently guides the group in the nature of fey. Smirky she says,"Fey are pretty fun. A little bit whimsical but its not like you humans aren't any different."

Pelia is able to read the signs and you locate a tree with a dryad tied to it.

A slender, tan woman all dressed in leaves steps out of the tree. “What brings adventurers like yourselves out into the forest? We, my sisters and I, have been watching you and your companions move through our trees, as it’s very uncommon to see creatures other than the local elves walking these roads. Even more so, anyone coming to find us. The townspeople tend to stay within their borders, and honestly, elves in general haven’t always been the nicest to us.” Everyone roll a diplomacy, intimidation or deception check to explain what you want from her, no penalties if you fail or crit fail. Enough successes makes it easier to make an impression on Persea by showing it.

Then you will make an impression on Persea by showing it. Roll an Athletics to carry something heavy. An Attack Roll to demonstrate your awesome combat techniques. Or a Medicine Check to help others. Alternatively at a higher DC you can roll a Cha based skill. You may also pick a Lore skill that makes sense, also at a higher dc. You will get a +2 bonus for good roleplay. Casting a spell slot or spending a valuable resource grants you automatic success. Spending your highest spell slot grants you a crit success. You must Roll 3 times or cast 3 spells. But pick a different skill each time, or you will get a -2 repetition penalty. Crit failures matter here

"Times are dire, tree woman. We seek allies in the upcoming struggle or at least to know who we can trust and who we should smite."

Intimidation: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

He waves his sword around to impress her of his obvious might.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

When that doesn't work, Armik decides to become more helpful and tries to find some thing useful to do.

Athletics Roll: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Still not showing his best side, he resorts to excuses. "I must have not had a decent breakfast this morning."

Deception Roll: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

If any of those are a crit failure, I'd like to reroll...

Reroll: 1d20 ⇒ 15 +8 or 9 depending on skill

diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
"Ooo don't mind us. We're here to help everyone. My name is Pelia and Im from the Fangwood where Queen Gendowyn resides over us.," she says with a degree of awe.

"And yeah I get it. People look at me all the time and say out loud why the mushroom is talking. Oooo no... the mushroom is talking. Run away. So I know how it feels speaking as a plant adjacent creature to be met with suspicion. But Im here to help," she adds very plainly.

medicine: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Holding up her healer's gloves she gets to work helping the fey. After healing each fey she gives them a mushroom. "You get a portobello, you get a shiitake. You get lion's mane. You know what you get a snow ear. Healthy mushrooms for everyone."

She's using her Fresh produce to give each fey an edible mushroom for no mechanical effect besides its funny.

After healing the fey she then decides to show the fey what she can do offensively. "You see my powers go beyond summoning healthy edible produce. If you get it moving fast enough it hurts."

Elemental Blast 2 action attack: 1d20 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 16

While accurate the blast bounces off the target instead of causing any appreciable damage.

"Anyway I hope I've impressed upon you that we mean you no harm and are here to help you. If you ever go out traveling you should visit Fangwood. Its full of plenty of fey like yourselves and mom... errr.. Gendowyn would surely enjoy the company," she says a bit flustered.
diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
medicine: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Kyra tries to talk some sense to the Dryads, asking them to work together with the group. But for some reason, Kyra fails to convince even herself.

So in turn, she goes back to doing what she's good at. She takes starts helping people and treating injuries.

The white-haired elf gives a short bow to the Dryad, ” Elves not being nice? I am sure it must be a cultural misunderstanding. As for our purpose for being here, you must be aware of the growing darkness in the land, and we are looking for allies to stand against the night!”

Deception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

” You will find us strong and able allies.” Sundamar shifts a log for a better place to sit while talking to the Dryad.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Watching the others practice skills, Sundamar joins one of his allies in a sparing practice in order to show off his sword work.
attack roll: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

To top off the demonstration he cast a bit of magic to demonstrate the versatility that the pathfinders bring to the table.
Cast Darkvision (A spell from Highest level spell slot)

Zekki agrees with the party. "We are truly here to help."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

"But let us show you how we can help." She tumbles through Sundamar's space, dodging nimbly through his legs...

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

...before drawing a dart and flinging it at a knot in a fallen log.

Dart: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

She then offers to help some of the injured.

Medicine: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

If any of those are crit failures (wow, I hope not!), I will Hero Point.

You all try to explain what you want or what you come for, but she is either tuning you out, or you're all having a tough time communicating. 2 successes, 3 failures, though someone has not yet took their turn and you need half, so I'll update the text if the 3rd person is successful.
Armik 2 successes
Armik fails to demonstrate good combat. Failure
Armik gets a few good jumps in, pushups and situps whatever else, but not much as they expected him to get in and they aren't impressed. But when Armik gives them the excuse that he didn't have his breakfast, they understand. Here you should eat this. As they hand you a bowl of wheaties. Failure turned into a success using the +2 for good roleplay.
Armik's excuse that he didn't eat good, wasn't a good one, but then they remembered that he said breakfast, which is when they immediately got reminded of their favorite breakfast, wheaties. Crit failure turned into a success, via the hero point roll.

Pelia 2 successes, 1 crit success for 4 points
Pelia comes off as awkward, but they get his point. He passed the original diplomacy check. counting for 1 of the 2 successes I mentioned above.
Pelia is able to smooth over any wounds people have Medicine success.
Pelia's elemental blast isn't that impressive, but it seems Pelia was going for comedy with his blast instead. Failure turned into success via roleplay.
After listening to Pelia. And we are very greatful to have you at our side. Crit success obviously

Kyra 1 crit success for 2 points.
They don't get what Kyra is saying but they are impressed by how fast she treats their wounds and does it extra well. Crit success.

Sundamar 1 Success, 1 Crit success, 3 points.
They like what Sundamar is saying The other diplomatic success, in fact it is a crit success, unfortunately it still counts as 1 point that roll.
Sundamar can't quite make all the obstacles, those hurtles, that tight rope balance, Sundamar hangs in their, just not quite as much as he hoped. Failure
They are impressed with how well Sundamar spars and after one minute, Sundamar lands the first strike, a soft blow of course though, so that the weapon just touches the armor. Success
Now that is a very useful spell against most enemies. Crit success.

Zeki 3 Successes
They don't believe Zeki at all when he says "We are here to help." But actions speak louder than words and they are blown away with his peformance.

Chomper of the Razortooth Tribe is up and Kyra 2 more rolls. As long as nobody crit fails 3 times, you have a success for this mission.

Edit You may also pick your next mission to if you want. I bot in 24 hours anyway, so if Chomper doesn't post by 6:06 PM eastern time Sept 6th, exactly 24 hours from the time you encountered the dryads, I roll for him. If it wasn't a special I'd not bot, but for specials, I count exactly 24 hours from when the last skill check challenge started or if in combat 24 hours from when your last turn started. So If combat starts on Sept 8th at 8:00 am eastern time, but you couldn't even start your turn until Sept 9th at 9:00 pm because you were last in init and has to wait for other players and enemies, then you'd have until Sept 10th at 9:00 pm to post. An exact 24 hours, assuming I'm not away from my computer during that exact time.

Chomper decides to throw some darts to impress them attack roll: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 attack roll success
Then does some pushups, high jumps, etc. athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23 success
Then shows them how easy it is to disarm the enemy or use their own weapons against them but stealing their stuff thievery: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11 failure
Kyra also does her other 2 check athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 failuremedicine: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 2 = 19 success
Persea approaches you all Thanks for your support and everything. Here take this.

Treasure Wand of longstrider and feather token tree.

One navigation success. Please pick next mission. 1d4 is rolled if next mission isn't picked 24 hours from this post.

"Kyra was hoping to help the trapped elves, so maybe that one next?"

Mission 1

"Rescue mission!!!! Lets go."

**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**

As you continue your way toward Folien, Fola Barun calls out words of encouragement. “Agents, we are making good time! Keep us moving along!”

Table GMs, the On the Path condition is in effect.

Sundamar waves goodbye to the Dryad as the group moves out to help the wayward elves " Let's see what trouble my kinsmen have found. Being elves I'm sure they are doing fine. Perhaps they have just lost track of time or the day of the week. Elves can get distracted."

Agreed, Mission 1 Forest Campsite

"Yes Zekki, you're right. I do want to go there next if possible."

You have picked mission 1, the on the path condition gives you +1 to init. If you are using something other than search or have something else that affects init, let me know so I can adjust that. However, because of fatigued, you all default to search.
Remember, you are all still fatigued

The directions from the scouts to where the group of elves is trapped are straightforward, and the PCs are able to make it without complications.

init Zekki: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 1 = 13
init Sundamar: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 1 = 18
init Kyra: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 1 = 21
init Armik: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 1 = 15
init chomper: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 = 28
init Pelia: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 = 12
init Hostile elves: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
init Demons: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Map up in a minutes
Map is up
Chomper is up Then the Demon, Then everyone else.
Everyone place yourselves on the map

Is there any narrative on what we are seeing or witnessing? I'm assuming the Demon is in the middle. The Elves are surrounding it? Are the Elves tied up or entangled? Fighting the Demon? Dancing with it?
What does the demon look like? Large or small?

So as to not hold up the action.... If Chomper can see the Demon, he would draw a dart from his bandolier ◆ (interact) and throw it at them ◆ (strike) with a -2 range penalty. He would then raise his shield ◆.

If he cannot see the Demon, then he would ready to strike ◆ the first target that comes within range of his Bite strike ◆. If it is an Elf, he would do non-lethal damage to them with a -2 penalty, if the Demon then he would just Bite it regularly. Don't know if you will take the first d20 roll so I rolled separately for each depending on what transpires.

Thrown Dart Strike: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 - 2 = 25
Dart P Dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
or
Magical Bite Strike: 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 12 - 2 = 28 (Against Demon remove -2 penalty)
Magical Bite P (Non-lethal vs Elves/Lethal vs Demon) Dmg: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

If the second option happens where he is going to be struck in combat he uses his Reactive Shield feat.

They are grave robbing elves and they are helping the Demon. The Demon looks like a person with a worm coming out of his body, you'll need a recall knowledge to identify it.
Chomper hits the Demon in the arm with a dart. It responds by moving forward and casts a spell. Be afraid chomper, be very afraid, my worm will one day possess you. Will save vs a fear affect. DC 21
Rest of the heroes are up

Activate aura 1 action blast attack against weird thing in middle of forest: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

Pelia after her embarrassing display with the fey narrows her eyes and sends a barrage of mushrooms towards the weird demon creature that connects solidly.

Kyra touches Sundamar's Katan(a) and utters a prayer to Sarenrae. The weapon glimmers with energy. "Strike with the Dawnflower's blessing!" She then casts Shield on herself.

◆◆ Magic Weapon
◆ Shield

(status: Fatiged –1 status penalty to AC and saving throws)

Sundamar waves Kyra’s attempt to magic his weapon ” Please pass the Sarenrae’s blessing on another, my weapon is already enchanted.”

The Ancient elf uses his magic to create a defensive shield and weave the remaining power to reinforce his offensive ability.

Taking a moment he tries to recall any useful information about the demon foe, could he be using some ability to compel the elves to help him? Sundamar shares any information he recalls.

◆ Cast shield spell

Zekki pulls out her sling and takes aim at the Demon thing, trying to remember what she knows about creatures like this.

GM DoubleGold, can it be passed? If yes, at the moment the spell was cast Armik was also right beside Kyra

Pelia misses the first time as it just barely dodges out of the way, but hits the Demon the second time.
Kyra casts magic weapon on Armik, but Armik still misses.
Zekki hits the Demon in the thigh with a sling bullet.
Also, crit success it is a VETERAN VERMLEK, weakness 5 to cold iron and 5 to sonic.
it also has an ability. Abandon Body[two-actions] (manipulate) Requirements The vermlek is Inhabiting a Body; Effect The vermlek crawls out of the body it’s inhabiting, devouring much of the body’s remaining flesh and regaining 10 Hit Points in the process.

Everyone give me 4 Fort saves you are all within 10 feet of every thunderstone thrown. Fail once and you are deafened and failing twice doesn't do anything extra. Armik You took no splash damage, but you only need 2 saves, you were within 10 feet of a stone once.

Chomper, fatigued & deafened, strides ◆ so he does not provoke if they are able to AoO. He strikes at the Demon with a Powerful Attack Bite ◆◆.
