[PF2 / Farol] 3-15: Cavern of the Sundered Song High (Inactive)

Game Master Farol

Dot and deleted

You all come to Archive in Absalom Lodge. The entire Pathfinder Society is abuzz over the recent disappearance of Scrollmaster Effeflinn Whyst into a mysterious portal following her singing a strange song. Master of Scrolls Kreighton Shaine almost immediately entered the portal behind her.

Gorm Greathammer stands near a strange shimmering portal. Several Swordmasters stand guard, ensuring no one enters by accident. Gorm nods approvingly at the assembled Pathfinder agents. "Wonderful. I’m so glad you were all available on such short notice. I’m not sure I’ve seen such an accomplished group of agents together before. I’m sure you’ve heard the rumors already about today’s events, and you may even know more than I do. Here’s what I’ve been able to piece together so far. Effeflinn Whyst, one of the Scrollmasters, the elf who’s always singing strange old songs, she found something in the Grand Archive that took her by surprise. A hand-written journal of some kind. She ran off with the journal in hand, started singing, and made…this."

He gestures toward the portal. "That’s odd enough, but then perhaps twenty minutes later, after word started to spread around the Lodge, our Master of Scrolls, Kreighton Shaine, ran into the portal after her, looking furious. We haven’t seen either of them since."

He shuffles through some parchments. "We’ve done some divinations, and about all that we know is that it connects to the Darklands. Probably Orv, but some portion we’ve never heard of before." He sighs. "Frankly, we have no idea what’s going on. We could just wait for Effeflinn and Kreighton to return, but I don’t like the idea of what might come out of this portal in the meantime. I’d like you to go through, find them both, and figure out what the heck is going on. Hopefully, there’ll at least be a good story in it for you. I remember once, when I was in Osirion—" Gorm’s words are cut off when Kreighton Shaine’s head suddenly pops through the portal and looks at the gathered agents.

"Good, you’ve got them. The song is finished, but now it’s lost. We’ve got to find them. Hurry!" As quickly as Kreighton’s head appears, it vanishes once again. Gorm stares at the portal, speechless for a moment.

"Well, I suppose you should get moving, then. You should take a few minutes to go buy any supplies you think you’ll need. We’re not sure how stable it is, so you should avoid going back and forth through the portal until you’re ready to come back for good. Without disturbances, we think it should stay open for at least a couple of days. Why don’t you try to be back in 48 hours? I wouldn’t stay much longer than that, but do spend enough time there to see anything interesting. We’re looking at something very strange here, Pathfinders. Good luck."

You head to Grand Archive and are meet with the above, please introduce your PC's, and ask questions state what you want to buy. I will chase the druid who is missing form the campaign, and we can get going

Th-clink! Th-clink! Th-clink!...
A stocky young man of mixed heritage and average height approaches the portal. He is bedecked in full-plate armor, has a bastard sword at his side, and a pack on his back. He has chiseled handsome features with unkempt short brown hair.

When Gorm begins Leo strains to reach and grab a parchment and quill on the side of his pack. He finally succeeds just in time to take notes.

He takes a step back in surprise at the emergence of Kreighton's head.

Leo regains composure quickly and nods to Gorm, his faction leader, "48 hours. Got it. Master Greathammer, if the portal goes down, where should we head to get back?"

"Has anyone ever asked Effeflinn Whyst about the songs she sings? Are they Elven?" Quinoline, a bespectacled Thuvian alchemist, asks.

She introduces herself to Leo, and nods at Astrid, flinching when Astrid reaches forward to punch her in the arm.

Astrid laughs as Quinoline flinches. She nevertheless proceeds to give the alchemist a good-natured punch in the arm. "Funny as ever Quin. I've seen you face down a giant bear with nary a complaint before so don't try to tell me you're afraid of a tiny punch to the arm. Anyway it'll be good to have a fellow shield maiden in on this business." She jerks a thumb to indicate Leo. "At least you won't be whining like buttercup over there about needing 'air' to cast your spells." She makes finger quotes as she speaks.

Her eyes have a mischievous glint as she turns to the wizard. "Ha! Just kidding Leo. Those healing spells of yours sure came in handy up Urgir way. Anything that helps your allies and harms your foes is alight in my lexicon." She gives the wizard a similar punch in the arm.

"So Gorm, I can't say I've met Effeflinn. What do we know about her? You say her songs are old. Just how old are we talking about?"

The shield maiden taps a finger on her chin as she considers other questions. "Darklands and Orv you say? Can't say as I've ever been there. Underground right? What should we expect there? Do we know anything about the journal that she took? It wasn't Shaine's diary was it? We certainly don't want any of his ramblings going public."

Gorm clears his throat at Leos question and he shifts uneasy

"Well, we don't know much about this portal, if it closes you would have to figure it out. That is why we send the best and brightest that we have in the Society."

bla bla bla songs bla?

"I wish I knew. Everyone seems to have heard something different. You may want to ask her students about it."

Darklands? Orv but it is so dangerous there!

"Well, it’s dark, for one. Make sure you’ll be able to see. There are all kinds of all creatures there, especially aberrations. Best to be prepared for anything."

Gorm offers each PC a choice between a greater antidote and a greater antiplague for the journey, as well as two moderate alchemist’s fires and two moderate frost vials for the whole group.

Beside selecting the item that you want ot choose, there are some RK/gather information that can be done:
- Darklands Lore or Society to learn about darklands/orv
- academia lore, library lore, or PFS lore - to check what Effeflinn was studying
- Diplomacy Or Performance Gather information - to speak one of Effeflinn's students
When Kagan fills in Macro I can do the secret checks for you. For now roll the checks yourself in spoiler or give me modifiers along the RP

Despite Astrid mentioning that she was kidding, it doesn't seem to abate much of Leo's indignation.

A huge and scary warrior rides in here right on a big red drake. The rider is a humanoid, but not quite human. His hands and neck partially covered with red scales and there are many short horns on his head. But the most remarkable part is four red spider legs growing from his back. He looks powerful and ferocious enough, although the most observant of you may notice surprisingly intelligent and attentive eyes that betray that a very decent mind is hiding under the appearance of the hulk. Drake, the size of a large horse, greedily sniffs the air and seems about to issue a war roar when the rider slightly pulls back the reins and the wyrm obeys and quiets down. Rider has a bastardsword in a scabbard on the back and a silver sacred symbol of Nocticula as a medallion on his chest.

Name's Kagan. This name maybe tells you something... It seems that this is the guy Zarta once left in the old Dark Archive in order for him to monitor the return of all secret and dangerous tomes and grimoires by agents, which they take and then often forget to return. Since Kagan took office, the percentage of returns has increased significantly. No wonder he's here now.

Lore: Library: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29

I'll go with you. And I have some idea what Effeflinn was studying.

Society +15 to learn about darklands/orv, academia lore, library lore, or PFS lore all +12 - to check what Effeflinn was studying, Performance +20 - to speak one of Effeflinn's students

"Well before we enter the portal we'd better check with one of her students. I'd like to know a bit more about her songs. I suspect they might be the key to figuring out what's going on."

Society +20
no Academia/Library/PFS Lore
Diplomacy +17

Quinoline's heart skips a beat when she sees Kagan. She has an overdue library book. But then she realizes that it wasn't the Dark Archives one, it was the regular Grand Archives one. She roots around in her bag of holding to see if she brought it with her so she can finish in Downtime.

"Oh. Hi," is all she can outwardly muster, all her thoughts unvocalized.

Leo and Astrid recall that the Darklands are an interconnected network of caverns and passageways deep underground, spanning multiple continents. Residents include xulgaths, deep gnomes, derros, duergar, and calignis, as well as strange and powerful aberrations. While Quinoline also knows that that Orv is the bottom level of the Darklands, comprised of many distinct, enormous caverns called vaults. Each vault tends to have its own ecosystem.

After small brainstorming you head to the library, Kagan is leading you there with his drake happily swagging its tail. In the library you spot an old hag, and you see a comotion, some agents seeing Kagan run to hide behind the regals. And you quickly spot that Quinoline joins them. After Kagans conversation with the hag she points you where the elf was researching before leaving.

"That part of the library includes firsthand accounts from people who interacted with deities when they were mortals." says Hag named Jagoda.

When you take a look through the papers you quickly find a reference to Nivi. That specific section of the library has personal accounts of dealings with Nivi Rhombodazzle. Nivi Rhombodazzle is the god of gems, stealth, and gambling. She spent much time in the Darklands avoiding her creditors and is known as the first deep gnome. She approves of using stealth and guile over violence where possible.

Quinoline is able to pull some of the stundets from hiding when Kagan is busy helping with library business. You speaks to a student who heard some of the song. While the student can’t recite any stanzas exactly, they remember hearing lyrics about ‘debts’ and ‘treasures’.

Leo cannot seem to stay irritated as the crew learns of Effeflinn's recent activities. His mood shifts to twitchingly excited when they are informed about the library section they are headed to. He becomes more talkative with the name drop of Nivi. "Do you all think Effeflinn knows Nivi?!" and "Do you think we're going to get to meet a god?!" are among the questions he asks both to others and somewhat silently to himself.

Astrid finally gets a chance to speak to Kagan.

She approaches the tiefling and pounds her gauntleted fist on her shield. "I don't believe we've met before. I'm sure you've heard of me though. I'm Astrid Gertasdottir, shield maiden and famed explorer. I'm stealthier than moonlight and fiercer than a thunderstorm. I've killed more men than winter and drunk enough ale to drown the rough beast himself. I've ridden dinosaurs into battle in distant lands and frightened a demon lord back into hell."

I could've sworn I posted something like this earlier but I guess not.

"...If I can meet a god, I might be able to make massive leaps in my unified theory..."

After you gathered what was needed you enter the portal, you catch glimpses of a song being sung, but then the song come to an end and you show up in a underground cavern completely black.

Please describe your light situation, I see a lot of humans in the party which natuarally do not get darkvision. This is the time to finish your daily preparations

You feel that beyond your group there is also someone else.

Kreighton Shaine addresses the newly arrived Pathfinder agents without turning to look at them. "You’ve come at last. We must find Effeflinn at once. I’ve forgotten the song; I’ve forgotten the song. It doesn’t matter, we need to find all of them! After all these years!"

When Kreighton sees your blank stares, he calms slightly as he slips into the role of a teacher. "It was so many years ago. Almost a century. Effeflinn Whyst and I, we were on a mission to reach the part of the Darklands where Nivi Rhombodazzle once lived. When she was mortal, she hid in the Darklands for many years to avoid her creditors. She didn’t always win her games, after all. She magically sealed it away to prevent being found. We had a song that should have opened a portal to reach this cavern. It worked, briefly. Part of our team made it through, but then the portal suddenly closed! Nothing we tried could open it again. The rest of the team was lost. I know that Effeflinn did something wrong. She was the song expert; she was supposed to know how to do it right! She must have found the rest of the song, to open the portal again. The strangest thing is that I can’t remember any of the song now, after it haunted me for all these years. It doesn’t matter. We’ve got to find the rest of the team. They might still be alive!"

Kreighton describes the team with who he was traveling:
Kreighton Shaine (CG male elf scholar), expert on rituals, that's him ;)
• Effeflinn Whyst (CG female elf poet), expert on songs
• Irlah Kestiwhitt (CG female gnome cleric), Nivi Rhombodazzle lore expert
• Piltineff Gosk (NG male gnome fighter), physical protection
• Eltha Embercall (N female dwarf druid), expert on survival

You see (I hope) a trail left by Effeflinn that you could try to follow

To follow the tracks one of you would have to pick Track exploration activity and roll Survival check DC24 (trained at least)

Before going through the portal, he says, "Lux." A bright, but tiny, mote of light appears above Leo's head.

When he steps through, the cavern is bathed in light.

Leo once again scribbles away, taking notes of Kreighton's team.

After Kreighton finishes, Leo raises a gauntleted hand. The gauntlet, while mostly matching the rest of the armor, is tinted white and has golden runes emblazoned in rows along the backside. "Master Shaine, we'll find them!" he declared confidently.

With that, and a decent amount of armor clinking, Leo begins looking around intently. Every so often he can be heard whispering "vide"

Survival: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35

Quinoline's preparations are as such:
- 6 greater bottled lightnings (2 infused reagents) [3d6]
- 3 greater acid flasks (1 infused reagents) [3d6]
- 2 greater darkvision elixirs (1 infused reagents) [24 h]
- 6 moderate mistform elixirs (3 infused reagents) [1 min]
- 4 moderate elixirs of life (2 infused reagents) [5d6+12]
- 4 greater eagle eye elixirs (2 infused reagents) [+3]

She has 5 unused infused reagents remaining.

She'll give a moderate elixir of life to everyone for emergency revival, an eagle eye elixir to everyone for Perception, and 2 mistform elixirs to Astrid, and anyone else who wants.

She'll drink one darkvision elixir herself, and offer the other to Leo (we'd all have darkvision then, and we can sneak around in the dark).

She'll Scout as Leo Tracks.

Greetings, Astrid. That sounds... impressive. And I am Kagan. His voice low and hoarse. Perhaps there is a slight irony hidden deep there in the answer, as if Kagan does not need to explain how good he is, but it is extremely difficult to assert this - he does not behave defiantly. When he communicates with you, his red spiderpaws move slightly behind his back. And yet, he is surprisingly polite for all his monstrous.

I wouldn't be in a hurry to meet God, Leo. We will still have time to do this in due course.

Creighton, how many more secrets do you have, old man?

Both Kagan and his drake have darkvision. Btw, Kagan also has motion sense in 30ft (he feels the space around with vibrissae on his spiderpaws)

Kagan looks around while his riding lizard also moves its muzzle from side to side. The tiefling then puts on a red helmet in the shape of a red dragon spreading its wings. I'm ready. Do you want me to follow track, or will someone else do it? I'm not the best tracker, but I can still take on this role. (+15)

Quinoline's preparations are as such:

- 6 greater bottled lightnings (2 infused reagents) [3d6]
- 3 greater acid flasks (1 infused reagents) [3d6]
- 2 greater darkvision elixirs (1 infused reagents) [24 h]
- 6 moderate mistform elixirs (3 infused reagents) [1 min]
- 4 moderate elixirs of life (2 infused reagents) [5d6+12]
- 4 greater eagle eye elixirs (2 infused reagents) [+3]

She has 5 unused infused reagents remaining.

She'll give a moderate elixir of life to everyone for emergency revival, an eagle eye elixir to everyone for Perception, and 2 mistform elixirs to Astrid, and anyone else who wants.

She'll drink one darkvision elixir herself, and offer the other to Leo (we'd all have darkvision then, and we can sneak around in the dark).

She'll Scout as Leo Tracks.

@Quinoline I thought you were going to make a darkvision elixir for me too. Should I go ahead and buy one after all?

Oh, I thought you were buying goggles. It's no problem to make more - Quinoline will make another pair, so she has 4 infused reagents remaining, she'll give Astrid one, and she'll keep the other on her for a snack.

"Callistra's teats! It's blacker than Aslynn's heart in here!" Astrid quickly downs her darkvision elixir. "That's better. What do you think Leo? Can you track our missing songbird?"

Since we now all have dark vision can we assume that light has not actually been cast?

I am fine without the light

You follow the trail with Leo taking the lead. You frequently spot Kreighton disappearing and reappearing down side tunnels as you make your way through the strange Darklands, but he doesn’t report anything of note.

While traveling, you might notice that this part of the Darklands seems strange. You notice that many of the rock structures have streaks of vibrant hues. Stalactites and stalagmites nearly meet each other, but then grow in spiral patterns around each other. Drops of liquid that condensed on the ceilings above fall on Kagans's heads. Occasional breezes carry scents of metal and blood.

As that happens Leo spots a makr of some odd creature, and you hear them nearby.

One of the creatures moves forwards.

Leo shouts a warning as he sees the creature approach them notices that Astrid and Quinoline noticed before he did. Looking at the creature, he roots around his memories of his studies to identify what this might be.

He then takes a step near to the creature as he says, "Scutum." A faint image of a small shield appears, interposed between Leo and the creature. The shield is half black and half white.

Quinoline will keep her distance and try to gauge what is happening.

Diplomacy, Glad Hand Penalty: 1d20 + 18 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 18 - 5 = 30
Quinoline would try Common and Undercommon first, then probably Sylvan if they're fungal looking, then Draconic, Gnome, Goblin, and Osiriani in whatever order.

If she knows they are amenable to talking, or if she can convince them with Diplomacy to keep their distance, she raises her shield defensively ◆, and casts Guidance on Astrid ◆.

If she knows they are hostile, and she can't communicate with them, she'll raise her shield ◆ and attack ◆.

Splash damage on a failure, but not CF.

Leo knows that those are Isqulugs, but he can't recall much beyond what they are. Since it is closer you can clearly see that the isqulug's appearance, though unsettling, might be its least awful aspect. The creature resembles a bipedal amphibian with tentacles instead of arms and a head composed of an undulant mass of what appear to be shifting, slimy transparent eggs filled with writhing larvae. In truth, these larvae constitute the mind and consciousness of the isqulug—its “body” is little more than an organic suit manufactured from the flesh of those it has consumed, analogous to the complex web of a spider or the hive of a colony of bees, but fully capable of movement and violence.

Quinoline knows that they are evil and violent, she also knows that they have regenerating ability that is deactivated by cold, cold is also its weakness.

I will do RK's and let Leo and Quin to decide on their 2 actions before resolving.

I'll keep my declared actions.

"So you say we should use frost huh? Heh. I finally get to use this."

Astrid points her shield at the creature and fires a beam of icy cold from its center. She follows up with an ineffectual shield strike.

Ray of frost vs red, Off Guard?: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30
damage-frost: 6d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3, 4, 2, 4, 3) + 3 = 20

shield boss vs red, Off Guard?: 1d20 + 22 - 5 ⇒ (4) + 22 - 5 = 21
damage, bludgeoning, frost: 2d6 + 7 + 1d4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 7 + (2) = 15

Quinoline will not raise her shield, then. She'll draw a moderate frost vial from her bandolier (she crafted 4 many levels ago) and throw it.

She only has a +20 modifier with moderate vials so that's (14)+20=34 to hit, and (2,5)=7 cold damage and 8 splash cold.

Quinoline's splash is limited to the target, by the way (bomber alchemist).

Leo steps closer and raises shield. While Quinoline reaches for her cold bomb and tosses it at the creature, the bomb hits the creature in the head and splashes it with cold. The creature shrieks in pain, and you see it making bigger difference than it would seam Weakness to cold Red -25

Astrid tries to blast the creature with cold, but she barely misses, then she tries to smash it but her shield bounces of the thick skin of this monstrosity.

The other two creature moves closer.

➤ Kagan (180/180 HP)

Kagan emits a guttural roar, which feels like a huge, terrible threat! Flames begin to dance on his blade, and red scales appear on certain areas of his skin (neck, forearms, hands). After hearing this, Kagan's tame drake rushes into battle, but at the same time, like a snake, cunningly going out to the nearest enemy behind its back. The barbarian furiously slashes at strange monster twice, and each blow is accompanied by the exhalation of the flame of his dragon-blooded ally.

Leo's magical shield blocks most of the larvae before dissipating. The remaining larvae bounce off of his armor.

Leo focuses, cold begins swirling around his feet and then he points his sword. "Ge-" he starts to shout before his eyes seem to notice Kagan. "Dang it Kagan!" he curses and switches his sword point to the adjacent creature and says frustrated, "gelu." An orb of biting cold coalesces around the creature.

Cold seems to cling to Leo's sword after the spell. He swings it at the creature as well.

I've included the penalty for sickened. Since this is a disease there might be an onset time. If so then she is not sickened yet and her attacks are one better. Also Astrid's armor gives her 4 piercing resistance so she should be at 151/162 HP

Leo dodges the worst of the larvas, and blocks with shield the reminder. He cases a spell targeting the creature

Creature is struck again with cold and then Leo swings with his sword. Hit Red -37

Astrid is quick on her feat, but not quick enough. She got attacked a bit, but years of working with disguising substances made her resistant to diseases.

She throws flanks and hits. Yes folks the AC is 31 ;) Red -24

Astrid dodges the worst of the attack but she is affected by the disease. There is no onset time here, so sickened 1 for 1 hour. Sine you were exposed you will no longer have to roll about Isqulugia

Astrid swings her sword twice, but only her second swing strikes true. Red -22

Kagan furiously slashes the fog around. He hears Leo's comment that he interfered with his witchcraft, but these wizards are always whining about something... He'll talk to him later. In the meantime, the flame of his blade and the fire escaping from drake's maw color the fog in flashes, making what is happening look like a tien music show.

1) What type of damage btw? I have resistance 7 to piercing.
2) Does my motion sense somehow negate a miss chance due to the mist? Maybe...
3) I have an AoO (reactive strike now?) if they don't walk around carefully.

Reactive strike would apply vs Blue as it had to walk next to you. The type of damage is b for bludgeoning, the swarm in the cone is piercing, I will remember to apply the resistance.
With regards to motion sense, if it is imprecise than it is not helping, imprecise senses let you ignore invible conditions but not concealed

Kagan swooshes three times, he couldn't strike the creature.

The Red monster attacks Astrid, and somehow it knows exactly where she is. Creatures have precise sense ;) about those sick to isqulugia

First strike, strong enough to bring down a chubby hobbit smachs into Astrid shield Good job on raising it, but I guess it is still a hit due to sickened :(

Astrid arm hurts from the power of the blow, but then the next one comes in hitting her in the side. Two hits -40 Shield block possible

"Protection of Nethys!" Leo shouts when Astrid is struck the first time.

Leo sets his jaw in frustration. "Move Kagan!" He then repeats his previous actions. A stern "gelu" followed by a sword swing.

I don't know why I haven't noticed this before (or check earlier), but my Quick Bomber feat applies to all bombs, even ones that I bought or crafted, and not just ones I made during daily preparations. Quinoline didn't need to draw the frost bombs.

Quinoline will stop fumbling around with vials like some kind of novice, and toss them like a proper alchemist. She brings out two clear vials that look empty, and as she holds them in her hand, they suddenly glow yellow. ◆ Quick Alchemy, Perpetual Infusion (moderate bottled lightning), Debilitating Bombs (Dazzled)

Concealment: 1d20 ⇒ 17 vs DC 5
◆ Moderate Bottled Lightning: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (11) + 20 = 31
Electricity: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9 plus 8 splash electricity plus flat-footed plus DC 30 Fortitude save vs dazzled

Seeing the first one hit, Quinoline throws the frost vial with her other hand.

Concealment: 1d20 ⇒ 10 vs DC 5
◆ Moderate Frost Vial, MAP: 1d20 + 20 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 20 - 5 = 21
Cold: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10 plus 8 splash cold plus -10' speed

Splash hits on a F but not CF. I think the first bomb hits, so it's flat-footed for the second, and the second is a F only. The other bottled lightning she created with Quick Alchemy goes inert.

Leo protects Astrid from the worst of the first blow. Resistance 13 to first strike so -4 on first and -21 on second due to enfeebled 2

Leo strikes the creature with frostbite

Fort save, DC30: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (12) + 24 = 36

Creature withstands the worst of the blast but still is affected. Red saved so -10 and -10 weakness => -20

Leo swings but misses due to fog.

Quinoline throws two bombs, the first hits the creautre making it flat-footed Or whatever is the new-age equivalent

Fort save, DC30: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (20) + 24 = 44

Red -17 and ff

Second bomb misses, but the splash sends the creature to the ground. Red dies to splash!

Astrid: Shield block vs 4 or 21?

Hehe both. quick shield block

Properly prepared with her shield in place, Astrid effortlessly blocks both attacks, deflecting the worst of the damage.

↺ Shield block, ↺ quick shield block

Astrid was at 151/162. No damage from the first attact thanks to Leo+shield block and 8 damage from the second attack puts her at 143/162 and her shield at 96/104

Astrid coughs once again. "Ha! Looks like you have that one well in hand, Kagan. I'll go introduce Stormsóknarmaður to our other playmate." The shield maiden bellows a battlecry and charges out of the mist. "Videre til ære!"

sudden charge, bastard sword vs green: 1d20 + 24 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 24 - 1 = 41
damage-piercing, electrical: 2d8 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 8 + (5) = 24

◆◆ Sudden charge, ◆ raise shield

Astrid Here you got sprinkled for 28 piercing on Reflex save DC30. You made the check => 14 piercing - 4 resistance => 10 damage. So you will be at 152/162

Astrid blocks both strikes with her shield, then she charges at the creature outside of mist. She strikes with great force driving her sword in its guts. Crit -48 and flat footed, schocking rune does nothing as there are no enemies in 10 ft radius

Astrid looks as the wound slowly heals on the enemy that she attacked. Green regeneration +10

Than it strikes Astrid three times with its tentacles

Tentacles: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (11) + 22 = 33

The Creature misses three times

The other creature opens its head and sends larvas at Kagan, its drake and Leo.

Infestation@Kagan, drake, Leo, reflex save DC28: 5d10 ⇒ (6, 4, 6, 6, 10) = 32

Then it strikes Kagan with tentacles.

I'll post my turn later. Farol, thanks for the answers.

Quinoline will move up, and throw a pre-prepared bottled lightning at Blue.

"Astrid! Focus on this one - I can pretty reliably keep it from regenerating."

Astrid sighs. "You're gonna make Kagan think we don't have any faith in his abilities but okay."

She turns and fires another pale blue beam of pure cold at the beast. She then turns back to the more immediate threat and raises her shield once more.
ray of frost vs blue: 1d20 + 16 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 16 - 1 = 16flat check DC5: 1d20 ⇒ 9

◆ ◆ ray of frost, ◆ raise shield

Leo runs over next to Kagan and the drake, clinking as he goes. "It's fine Q," Leo says with excentuated exasperation. "I'll get it."

When he gets to his spot, he aims his sword off in the distance and shouts, "Gelu tempestas!" An icy falls erupts from the tip of Leo's sword.

Howling Blizzard ref DC 30: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 4, 6, 1, 2, 3, 2, 4) = 30

As Blue walks behind Kagan he strikes it with his sword. Hit -23 resistance to fire 10

Quinoline keeps throwing bombs, lightning one hits the creautre on the head while cold one splashes it Blue -20 and -18 cold + flat-footed

Astrid tries to strike creature with ray frost, but misses. It is 1 so it does not matter, but when targeting blue you would still have to do conceal check

Leo moves and blasts two creatures with howling blizzard. Failed fort save means sickened 1 => dc will be 29

Reflex blue, dc29: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (19) + 18 = 37
Reflex green, dc29: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (13) + 22 = 35

Both creatures escape the worst of the blast but they can't avoid it entirely. -25 to both
