Fort save 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Fort save 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Yulau somehow avoided the tendrils against all odds.

Razisis makes a run for it. He first offers guidance to himself then others if there is time.

Fort w/guidance: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5
Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

It could have been worse. If you had fought the Wraith, it reliably does 1d6 CON drain per hit.

Fortitude, DC15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Fortitude, DC15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Fortitude, DC15: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Wither takes a deep breath and runs across the room. Luckily, she isn’t hit by too much tendrils.

First tendril on Wither, 1-25 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 40
First Tendril damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

Second tendril on Wither, 1-25 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 52
Second Tendril damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8

Third tendril on Wither, 1-25 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 75
Third Tendril damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6

First tendril on Razisus, 1-25 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 71
First Tendril damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Second tendril on Razisus, 1-25 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 10
Second Tendril damage: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9

Third tendril on Razisus, 1-25 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 30
Third Tendril damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

First tendril on Yulau, 1-25 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 45
First Tendril damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

Second tendril on Yulau, 1-25 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 70
Second Tendril damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

Third tendril on Yulau, 1-25 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 19
Third Tendril damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 4) = 5

First tendril on Madcap!, 1-25 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 45
First Tendril damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

Second tendril on Madcap!, 1-25 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 19
Second Tendril damage: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

Third tendril on Madcap!, 1-25 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 58
Third Tendril damage: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

Wither manages to dodge the tendrils as she moves across the room.

Razisus avoids a couple of tendrils but takes the brunt of one of them. He can't resist the energy from the tendrils and takes enough damage to be staggered.

Yulau dodges most of the tendrils and resists the one tendril that hits her.

One Tendril hits Madcap!, so Fort saves?

I will note the two characters with Disable Device can make additional checks to disable the device, but each attempt represents a round, and each round has a 50% chance of being hit by tendrils. This would aid the house in meeting thresholds. Your choice.

Pulls out her wand and jabs herself with it.

Not going to risk it in 7, need some healing, 7 uses gone, CLW 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Turns in the room are subject to a 25% chance of Tendril hit

Possible tendril on Lady Alya, 1-25 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 5
First Tendril damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4

Lady Alya can make a Fort Save, DC 15, for half.

Fort save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"Ooo! That'll leave a mark." Madcap smiles.

potion of cure moderate wounds: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 4) + 3 = 10

Fort save DC 15 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 and the luck keeps coming,

Possible Tendril on Madcap!, 1-25 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 32
Tendril damage: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11

The Tendrils in the room miss Madcap!

**House GM Announcement**

The efforts of the Pathfinders working on disabling the artifact are beginning to pay off. The artifact sputters and shakes, the ethereal tendrils fading in and out of existence as it begins to malfunction!
______________

GMs, the Code Gray condition is in effect.

Code Gray means the House is halfway to disabling the artifact.

Aren't you the tricky one.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Tendril?: 1d100 ⇒ 33

The Tendrils in the room miss Madcap!

Madcap blows raspberries at them. "PFFFFFT!"

**House GM Announcement**

As some Pathfinders work on disabling the machine and others shelter as best as they can at the nearby door a Pathfinder by the name of Spica Capella conjures a wall of force to help shelter her fellow agents from the machine's ethereal energies, giving a brief and welcome respite to all. Moments later, with a shudder, the machine begins to fold up again. The ethereal tendrils dissipate as the machine closes, locking tightly. With only a barricaded door between them and Charvion, several of the stronger Pathfinders put their collective shoulders into the door and pop it open with ease.

The walls and floor of the room revealed within are made of pale, roughly-finished sandstone. They curve upward to an almost dome-like structure above, and the level of the floor is slightly lower than that of the entry door. Squared arches of polished sandstone are cut into the curved walls, creating fantastic columns. The walls are covered to a height of 30 feet with enormous bookshelves full of tomes, scrolls, and leather-bound books. Several ladders, used to climb to the higher shelves, are scattered about the room.

At a half-dozen points throughout the room, the rough, sandstone floor has been breached, smashed open as though someone were looking for something. Standing above one such hole is Charvion Eater-of-Bones. Flinging aside his sledgehammer, he raises his arms to the ceiling and screams in an ancient, guttural tongue. A nimbus of white flame erupts about him and then explodes, sending several different versions of Charvion flying about the room. Each Charvion stands and laughs, and in one loud chorus they say, "Come and fight me, Pathfinders. Your days are numbered!"

GMs, please begin the encounter with Charvion in area D8.

I'm coming up with 27/31. Had some damage [down to 18/31], drank potion [+8], hit once by tendril [-9], drank another potion [+10], missed by tendril.

"Well, If you insist!" Madcap cartwheels nearer the nearest Charvion, using her spinning momentum to toss a wobbly gelatin-filled bag at the villain.

tanglefoot bag v Charvion (v flat-footed, throw anything, range touch, distance): 1d20 + 9 - 6 ⇒ (11) + 9 - 6 = 14

*SPLOOSH!*

Charvion Reflex save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Madcap! hits Charvion with a bag of sticky and manages to glue him to the floor.

Charvion howls with rage. You can't do this to me. The scrolls hidden here are mine.

Yulau 20/22 HP

Charvion - HP, Tanglefoot bag, Stuck to floor

Egavreis hurries across the room, positioning himself next to the enemy.

Double move

Yulau uses a magic missile to strike the enemy.

Damage 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + 2 = 9

"I await the day when I will be ushered before Pharasma’s throne. I will answer her when she calls, but no sooner." Razisus pauses to catch his breath due to his injuries. "Until that hour, I remain her servant here."

Turning to the Lady Alya De Qill, he turns pensive. "Though her will is not always easy to discern, I know that the bones of the dead are to be afforded proper respect. Thus, I believe the Lady of Graves is calling for this Charvion, the so-called 'Eater-of-Bones', to be ushered ahead of me. Alas, I am unable to provide much assistance to this end at present, but if the goddess be willing, perhaps you may have the pleasure of seeing this man brought before her."
Casting guidance on Lady Alya De Qill.

I'm still working from...

Madcap 27/31 HP, -1 Str penalty from (2 or 3 damage I would have to double check)

"I await the day when I will be ushered before Pharasma’s throne. I will answer her when she calls, but no sooner." Razisus pauses to catch his breath due to his injuries. "Until that hour, I remain her servant here."

Turning to the Lady Alya De Qill, he turns pensive. "Though her will is not always easy to discern, I know that the bones of the dead are to be afforded proper respect.

Alas, I am unable to provide much assistance to this end at present, but if the goddess be willing, perhaps you may have the pleasure of seeing this man brought before her."
Casting guidance on Lady Alya De Qill.

"Sheesh. That guy looks almost as dead on his feet as Egavreis."

"Right you keep that in mind but not today."

She will move to Razisus and jab him with her wand.

CLW 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 you get 5hp back and now 8 uses

Charvion snarls You think you can stop me! I'll show you.

Charvion takes two claw swipes at Egavreis

Claws to hit minus Tanglefoot bag : 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 8 - 4 = 12
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Claws to hit minus Tanglefoot bag : 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 8 - 4 = 22
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Charvion -9 HP, Tanglefoot bag, Stuck to floor
Wither 34/35 HP

Yulau keeps peppering away with her magic missile spells, not wanting to get any closer to Charvion.

Damage 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 = 5

Egavreis waits for someone to get close enough for a flank, then steps (if necessary) and keeps on stabbing. If everyone else acts without setting up the flank, he will just stab from where he is without the bonuses and death-glare at his teammmates.)

"Right you keep that in mind but not today."

She will move to Razisus and jab him with her wand.

"The desires of Pharasma are always on my mind," Razisus replies. "Now, to do my part and see her will done. If she deems me fit, she shall channel through me."

The injured man then rushes into the room to get closer to Charvion.
Move x2

Wither casts Shillelagh on the Quarterstaff in her hands as she moves towards Charvion.

Casts shield on herself and heads in. AD is 21 And moves into the space with the others.

Looks like Madcap! moved but I don't see an entry for an attack? Regardless, Madcap! moving into the flank triggers Egavreis attack.

Yulau unleashes another swarm of magical force at Charvion.

Egavreis moves in and attacks once Madcap! moves in to flank.
Egavreis lands one decent hit out out of the two, the second barely missing the flanked Charvion.

Confronting Charvion: Round X

Madcap 27/31 HP, -1 Str penalty from (2 or 3 damage I would have to double check)

See above.

"Oh! A wise guy, aye, Charbroil?" Madcap pokes the half-dork in the eyes, Stooge-style.

dirty trick (to blind) v Charvion (flanking, improved dirty trick): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

"Well, I guess your goose is cooked! Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk."

Charvion growls at Madcap and strikes out, even blinded they are formidable.

Claws to hit minus Tanglefoot bag: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 4 = 17
Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Miss chance due to blinded, 1-50 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 77

Claws to hit minus Tanglefoot bag: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 8 - 4 = 24

Critical Slashing Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Miss chance due to blinded, 1-50 hits: 1d100 ⇒ 98

Charvion would have devastated Madcap! but the blindness causes Charvion to miss.

Moves to Razisis and taps him again.

Wand CLW 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 9 uses, 8hp back Razisis

No need to complicate things now.

Egavreis slices and dices the Charvion between him and Mapcap!. The Charvion drops, but another emerges to take his place.

Yulau still had plenty of magic missiles left, not even counting her wand. She casts yet another.

Yulau continues the assault of force on the new Charvion.

Wither concentrates, gathering magic aura on her hand as she moves towards Charvion. She tries to land her hand on Charvion to inject the dark magic flow into him.
Touch of Bloodletting

Touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

DC16 Will Save

Charvion will save DC 16: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Wither approaches Charvion and tries to make him bleed. Charvion steels himself against the magic and the bleeding stops.

"Pharasma, let your servant issue your call!" prays Razisus as he bows and steps away
5 ft. Step

He then channels negative energy, excluding his two closest, living allies.
Negative energy: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

Looking at their fallen and goopy foe Madcap reflects "Wow. Gluing someone to the floor was pretty effective. Makes me feel like a spider tossing a web.... Just glad I didn't have to pull it out of my butt"

But then she notes from the heart of the struggle that the fight it still ongoing. "Whoa! There's another one! Oh well,"

She launches at the next nearest Charvion poorly but energetically singing a catchy little tune:

♪♫ "Spider-Cap, Spider-Cap,
Nothing a spider can do that she can't
Spins a web, any size,
Catches bad guys just like flies
Look Out!
Here comes the Spider-Cap." ♪♫

Anyone knowing her for at least the last two minutes would swear that she had been wearing a jester's cap before, and not a hat that looked like big, googly-eyed spider as it does now with furry arachnid legs instead of curling tails ending in bells....

Oh well, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

She grabs a number of Charvion's long hair braids and ties them into a sort of complicated cat's cradle looped through the various creases in his armor, continuing her song she does so.

♪♫ "Is she strong?
Listen friend,
You'll just want to stay up-wind.
Eats her mates after sex?
Never has to cope with an ex.
Hey there,
There goes the Spider-Cap." ♪♫

dirty trick (to entangle*) v Charvion Jr. (flanking): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

* I really try not to repeat the same old dirty tricks. ;)

Chavion tries to resist Razisus Negative energy
Will save to resist channel DC 16: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

It seems Charvion expended all of his Willpower resisting Wither's Bleed effect and can't resist Razisus Negative energy.

Charvion is not very bright, and becomes somewhat distracted as Madcap! binds them with their own hair. Success on the dirty trick by 5, so 2 rounds.

Charvion moves out of the Flank and tries to cast a spell.
Cast Defensively Dc 17: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
Cast while entangled Dc 16: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Charvion curses as he loses the spell he was trying to cast.

Wither bashes Charvion with her quarterstaff.

Quarterstaff attack, Shillelagh: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Quarterstaff damage, Shillelagh: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 5) + 2 = 12

Evagreis knows he has one job.

Masterwork Cold Iron Dagger, Full Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Though he also wonders where these enemies are coming from.

Knowledge (dungeoneering, local, nobility, religion): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 (+3 if nobility, -2 if religion)

Assuming Evagreis moves up to flank with Wither

Wither barely misses Charvion with her staff, but Evagreis moves in hits with two attacks.

Charvion falls once again, but another steps in to take his place. This one looks slightly weaker than the previous, but no less dangerous.

All Evagreis really knows is what he saw extracted from the last House GM announcement, empasis added

Standing above one such hole is Charvion Eater-of-Bones. Flinging aside his sledgehammer, he raises his arms to the ceiling and screams in an ancient, guttural tongue. A nimbus of white flame erupts about him and then explodes, sending several different versions of Charvion flying about the room. Each Charvion stands and laughs, and in one loud chorus they say, "Come and fight me, Pathfinders. Your days are numbered!"

Yulau keeps plinking away at the new new enemy.

Damage 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (4, 4) + 2 = 10

All Evagreis really knows is what he saw extracted from the last House GM announcement, empasis added

I beleive the basic idea is that there are about a dozen other Pathfinders agents in here battling against a like number of Charvions, all at various APLs and CRs, but that's a bit too much to model even in a face-to-face game. Just don't mind those other three low-level Pathfinder agents who grew ill and fell over when Razisus hit them with that wave of negative energy, and we won't mind all of the fireballs being thrown. ;)

The be-spider-capped Mad, does a quick pantomime sneak on her tip-toes behind a third (distracted by force missiles) Charvion with her flail draped over her shoulder like super-sneaky, early-morning, softly-singing fisherman with a giant, plush, carnival spider on her head might, if--and only if!--such a thing actually existed.

She raises her voice just as she lowers the boom at the back of his knees.

♪♫ In the chill of night

improved trip v Charvion III (drops flail if he tries to return the favor): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

"We really have to stop meeting like this, Charbroil." She says to Charvion. "People will begin to think you're falling for me."

I think there are six other tables so that is at least two dozen other agents in this room fighting various versions of Charvion.

Yulau keeps sending bundles of force at the next Charvion.

Madcap! saunters up behind the new Charvion and trips them. I certainly hope none of the rest of you were planning to make ranged attacks.
