Salissa's tree disappears as she summons another to protect the front line. She then turns her attention to the creature attacking Ephesian. She lashes out with her tail in an attempt to knock it to the ground.

athletics, trip vs white: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

◆◆ Timber sentinel, ◆ trip

Zac shrugs off the nightmare image Red showed him and cuts the creature in half. He turns and attempts to strike Pink but doesn't hit. Salissa summons another tree to protect her friends. With her tail, she easily knocks the remaining bat-thing to the ground.

Ephesian again attempts to discern White's weakness and smacks it with his tail twice.

Tail vs White, OG, MAP: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 for Bludgeoning: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4) + 3 = 11

Ephesian's first strike crushes the tiny creature, reducing it to a red smear on the barrows floor. He then raises his shield.

FYI, they were elite quasits. AC 19, 35 hp

Eliadyr,Henri,Zac: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Pink turns and slashes at Zac thrice.

temp hp and bleed damage cancel each other out!
Pink Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 5

As Pink madly claws at Zac, Salissa's tree interposes itself and takes most of the damage. Although Zac still is hit by Pink's claws, the tree took the worst of the damage.

Zac, eager to end the fight slashes at Pink thrice. He overbalances the first time but his subsequent strikes serve to separate Pink's head from its corpse.

COMBAT OVER

Now that the creature is dead-dead (as opposed to un-dead), you may explore the niche.

Taking a breath and looking around, Eliadyr will finally take in the paintings decorating the niche.

"So these remains are of Tiyaka of the Goldmoon Clan. We should gather up her remains and effects and return them to the Farheaven Clan." and Eliadyr will reverently package everything up for travel.

You make the uneventful return journey to the Farheaven Clan village. Nelket and Dolok Darkfur happily accept any remains and relics you were able to recover from the barrows, along with any information on those buried there. They are especially pleased that you successfully purified the site. They appreciate the assistance and promise to continue calling on the Pathfinder Society to explore such sites in the future, also offering their aid should the Pathfinder Society request it. Nelket hands you a Wand of Widening, Breathe Fire (formerly Burning Hands), 1st rank, as well 5gp worth of Sarkorian jewelry for each individual barrow you recovered items from. For purifying the barrow, she hands you a carved bone figurine of a bear worth 10 gp. Nelket and Dolok bid you a fond farewell, telling you that you are welcome to visit at any time.

FIN
