Game Master UncleFroggy

Aid is a circumstance bonus so only one bonus applies. To get the +3 you need you'd have to get a critical aid from someone else who is a master in Diplomacy, which we do not have.

I think we're okay for this 10-min period, but sounds like Hopper could Aid pretty consistently for the next one.

Fortiva looks around at the unstable environment, frowns, and shakes her head. "The last one was a lot more stable. This is going to require some concentration."

She looks curiously towards the amphitheatre, but heads towards the voice in the square.

Leo nods in agreement to Fortiva's words, "I'll help where I can, but maintaining stability doesn't seem like it will be based in magic. It seems more that we have to interact with the psyche that holds this mindscape together." He looks over to Jiki as he does the work and Leo's face shows clear relief. "I'm glad I'm not the one trying it," he mumbles to himself as he follows Fortiva toward the square.

Patrick frowns a bit. I confess I still have a lot to learn about such interactions. Maybe you should take the lead while I watch for magical disturbances

It also looks like the voice in the square is making him a tad paranoid.

Jiki stabilizes the maze... for now...

As you decide what to do, the voice becomes more insistent...

Assuming you give in and follow the voice:

A snake-bodied figure sits at the top of the stairs of the amphitheater. They would appear to be a grandmother in a rocking chair, if not for the long tail wrapped around the base. Looking up at the sound of an entrance, they begin to speak. "Pathfinders, I know you come here with the best of intentions—to help our poor Csilla recover her memories and understand why they are locked away. However, I simply cannot allow you to do that. For years I have guarded her, protected her, from the horrors locked deeper within. If you open her up to them, it may very well destroy her, and I love her too much for you to do that."

You recognize the speaker as a naga.

"I respect yourdesire to protect Csilla, but leaving these horros locked inside her mind is doing her no service. They must be faced, and she has steadfast allies to help her in doing so. Would you count yourself one of them?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (9) + 22 = 31

The bard tries to convince her with a tale of a time he had to face something he would rather not, and was the stronger for it.

Diplomacy, Hero Point, Promotional Vestments: 1d20 + 22 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 22 + 1 = 34

Okay, that is in aid range, if only barely...

"We are formidable. With your aid, we could prevent these horrors from being a danger to her ever again."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28

Hopper keeps wand in his hand as he listens to Jiki and Leos arguments.

"What they said."

If needed and allowed, Wolfie has Intimidation +13 for aiding purposes ;)

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (19) + 20 = 39

"I'm intrigued by the idea that you reside in here protecting things - keeping them stagnant. But we are committed and will not turn back."

"I must caution you that moving forward may be detrimental to your health. Is there no other way I can convince you to abandon this task?"

"Nothing comes to mind."

"We have a job and intend to do it. Please do what you can to aid us, for Csilla's sake."

"Sigh. I was afraid you were going to say that. Please do know that I do not take pleasure in this... and that this will hurt me far worse than you..."

With those words, she attacks.

Our unhelpful naga friend.

Fortiva lets out a sigh and moves to stop the other beast that showed up to cause trouble. Taking advantage of her speed, she delivers a nasty slash and stab.

Jiki shares what he knows about the naga. He considers a quip directed at Jamimpi, but since she is 35 or more feet away, she would probably just yell back 'What? I can't hear you!". Instead, he weaves a protective barrier around himself and catalogs his options for after she has made a move.

◆ Cast a Spell
"♪ Ether's embrace, guard me true,
♪ Arcane guard, my defense anew.
Shield!"

Jiki manages to remember something about Jamimpi before inspiring his companions and raising a mystic shield. Fortiva moves up to Blue and slashes out with her sword. Only her second blow lands, however. She does notice that the creature seemed to be more vulnerable to cold as the wound appears to frost over briefly.

Snarling, Blue lashes out at elf.

Jaws vs Fortiva AC 33, Nimble Dodge: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35 for Piercing: 2d8 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 6 = 10 and Fire: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

It then breathes out a cone of fire that catches Fortiva, Patrick and Jiki!

Breath Weapon; Fire Damage; DC 28 Basic Reflex: 10d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 6, 6, 3, 3, 3, 1, 5) = 33

Jamimpi slithers forward. "It greatly pains me to do this. But you leave me with no other option."

Concentrating, she drops a column of fire on the party.

Divine Immolation (aka Flame Strike), Fire Damage; DC 33 Reflex: 6d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 5, 1, 3, 3) = 21 and 2d6 persistent damage

Both Hopper and Wolfie fail to dodge the flames. Hopper has resistance to fire 5, Wolfie does not

He reaches for his sword and pushes Wolfie to moves forwards. The mount runs at full speed running behind the naga. Cavaliers charge - 90 ft of movement and attack naga from behind

Aw crap!
Patrick takes the lot and then some. ((fail, crit fail = -75 - Dying 2))

Squash avoids the worst of the damage. He glares at Jamimpi, which, surprisingly, she pauses briefly. He swings his maul, which, unfortunately, doesn't connect.

Patrick is not quick enough to get out of the way of both fiery strikes and collapses, his clothes aflame.

Neither Hoppper nor Wolfie manage to get out of the way in time. However Hoppper appears to enter a heightened state as mutagen is injected into him. He pulls his horsechopper and charges Jamimpi and slashes at her with a mighty swing, which, unfortunately misses. Hoppper curses as he sees the toxin he so carefully anointed on his blade flies off (Sorry, it was a crit fail). More curses follow at the ridiculousness of it all.

flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 10

I made a mistake with the Demoralize attempt. The bonus should have been 1 lower.

Based on the level bump, the +1 doesn't prevent the crit fail but it doesn't drop him.

Retcon -- Jamimpi doesn't look unsure of herself (and now you know her Will DC!) :)

Blue barely gets out of the way in time but the wound still hurts and it roars in pain.

Jiki continues to inspire his companions before dropping a piece of the Netherworld on Jamimpi. Jamimpi shrugs off Jiki's Shadow Blast with little effort. "I beg of you, please turn back for your sakes!"

Fortiva easily dodges the cone of flame. She makes a quick move, which the dog-monster follows, before stabbing it twice. The dog monster howls in pain at the cold from Fortiva's sword.

The feint is not a crit success so it's only OG to the first attack. It wasn't a crit either...

Leo quickly hunkers down behind the shrub. Between what is left of the shrub and his armor he escapes harm from the breath this time.

As he rises, he hears Patrick's words and gives a swift nod of agreement. He then gathers his focus while taking a side step. "Frigu," he repeats once more while pointing his sword at the creature. Again, a thick frost coalesces in a globe around it.

flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 5

Leo drops more cold onto the Dog monster and its flaming coat freezes over. The thing topples over, dead.

I'm going to give Patrick a hero point since I messed up on Fortiva's racket. Her second strike would have killed it. Btw, the breath weapon recharges when it takes fire damage, so Fortiva's fire rune was working in my favor instead! :)

SQUASH continues to swing at Jamimpi but is unsuccessful.

Looking for someone to hit Jamimpi in melee to trigger Opportune Backstab, rather than Dodging.

Fortiva charges across the open plaza to go after Jamimpi. Unfortunately, she overbalances and almost face plants in front of the naga.

Wolfie seems to be impacted by the poison. The mount growls at the creature and bites it

Jamimpi moves away to get out of the flank. SQUASH takes advantage of the move by swinging at her with his maul.

Jamimpi barely avoids the strike. "You will regret that, little one." she says before dropping a sonic boom on the Pathfinders.

Leo turns toward the naga as she moves away from his allies. He then takes two strong strides before jumping and calling, "Aqua motus!". When Leo would land, he instead is enveloped in a splash of water.

Half a second later, a splash of water bursts next to the naga and Leo then erupts from it, landing on the far side of the naga from his allies. The edge of his sword seems to ripple faintly as if some water were lingering on the blade. As he lands, he swings the blade downward to use his momentum as a part of the strike.
