Although she initially lost sight of the demon, Miriel is quickly able to pick her out behind the curve of the gazebo roof at about the same time that Numair shouts out her location.

I have moved the token to her location — but remember she is on the roof of the gazebo so about 25’ above ground.

Numair positions himself so he can just make out the succubus below him on the roof.

You didn’t say so I’m going to assume a height

When you get close enough and have line of sight, most of you shouldn’t have a problem with the perception roll.

Grog moves, lands, grabs his bow and fires.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

"Lady come back!"

damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Miriel takes a step closer and aims at the cloud of glitter. "What are you doing there, pretending to be a gargoyle or grotesque? I'll end your tries in architecture!" she shouts and again shoots twice.

Not an action 5ft step

"The gazebo you say?" says the scholar, turning his eyes toward the roof.

per, heroism: 1d20 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) - 2 + 2 = 17

Not sure if that lets him see her or not, but assuming it does.

"Okay, Bessie, take your time.." he starts.
"Words for all of you, don't rush your shots!"

attack, herism, haste, IC: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 + 2 = 17
cold iron,IC: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 = 9

He then loads up Bessie again.

If he doesn't spot her, he moves closer, in either case he continue to offer advice to his students.

Grog, you would not be able to see Samivashti from that position. The roof of the gazebo is between you. Since would have been able to make her out (botted perception below), you would have known this before moving. I would like you to move yourself somewhere where you could have seen someone hiding behind the peak of a conical roof.
I am assuming you will move.
Botted perception for Grog: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

Grog has no problem seeing where Samivashti is landing and quickly lands someplace he can see her on the roof. As he is landing he switches weapons.

Unfortunately he isn’t as precise with a bow as he is with a sword or axe. He misses his target.

Although her first shot misses, Miriel does tag the demoness with her second shot and does full damage. Samivashti Gives a hiss of pain and then tells Miriel “Are you always so catty with women having more grace and balance than yourself?”

Khellek doesn’t see Samivashti after she disappears, but being told where she is knows he has to move and has a fair idea where with all the arrows flying towards the back roof of the gazebo.
I will assume you move, which means the crossbow ends unloaded.

Moving to a better position, he finds he still isn’t able to hit the demoness.

Bedlam picks up Starknife just to throw it again immidiately.

Silver Starknife, Haste, Heroism, Courage, Smite, range: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 1 + 5 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 8 + 2 + 1 + 5 + 2 - 2 = 25
Silver Starknife, Smite, Inspire: 1d3 + 2 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 4 + 2 = 11

Sylvester moves in front of Miriel and tries again with his Magic Missile spell to penetrate the demon's magical defenses.

Perception check to see Purple: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 16 + 2 = 37

Magic Missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 3) + 4 = 17

SR check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Bedlam finds he has the roof of the gazebo between himself and Samivashti.

I have clearly stated she is standing on the roof. You are on the ground, about 25’ below her position. Unless you have a way to shoot through a solid surface, you need to move in order to have line of sight.

Sylvester once again fails to pierce Samivashti‘s spell resistance.

I am going to allow Bedlam to reconsider his turn.
I have also moved Khellek slightly further north in order to have line of sight.

Bedlam takes a look around and whistles shortly to call Flawss in a circumstance to hear in general.

Shadowdancer meanwhile sheath his sword, thinkong of better move, or expecting instrucitons from Khellek.

Bedlam checks if Grog uses sword from Maldris.

I believe that Talon Strike (Maldris’s sword) is currently on the ground at Grog’s feet since he swapped to bow

Bedlam sheaths his sword and calls for Flawss.

Samivashti starts calling out in abyssal.

"She is trying to summon another demon!" warns Khellek,

"Invoking her foul patroness BoniTila"

"Stick her with your swords if you can reach her. She is desperate, take heart!"

He proceeds to then load up Bessie and takes another pot-shot.

One arrow flies into the air falls and just misses Grog's toe.

damned bow.

Sylvester tries yet again to penetrate the demon's defences.

SR check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Magic Missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 3) + 4 = 14

"Only those who use it to hide the ugliness inside!" Miriel shouts back.

She glances at her dropped blade when Khellek calls to use it, then back to the gazebo, and decides to continue shooting. "Your look is now so perfect, glitter on outside but empty inside!" she shouts and shoots another pair of arrows.

Full attack
Attack #1 Purple (Haste, Heroism, Inspire Courage): 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 25
Damage #1 (Inspire Courage) (Cold Iron): 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12

Damage #2 (Inspire Courage) (Cold Iron): 1d8 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 10

Since you didn’t mention Cold Iron, 8 am assuming those are normal arrows Grog.

Grog hits with one of the arrows. It doesn’t do much damage.

Sylvester pierces her spell resistance, his spell doing full damage. It still does not distract her.
Concentration: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (17) + 22 = 39

This time both of Miriel’s arrows hit, each doing full damage. She maintains concentration.
Concentration: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (10) + 22 = 32

Samivasti manages to continue making her call for help in spite of having multiple layers of glitter all over every part of her body.

Done. There still isn't a problem - I have a number of slots left!

Bedlam will prepare a move that he throws the Starknife if he sees the demon, holding a predator pose... Maybe waiting cavalry arrival.

Prepared action

Bedlam readies to throw his starknife again.

Samivashti cheers as her request is answers. A new demon is summoned in.
Does anyone answer: 1d100 ⇒ 30

The new demon is covered in some sort of slime.

Having just come to the part, Red Demon attacks Khellek with the longspear they are carrying. Neither attack hits.
Longspear: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
Piercing damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Longspear, 2nd attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Piercing damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Samivashti makes a beckoning gesture towards Grog and says “If you drop that bow and come up here for a kiss, I’m sure I’ll give you an experience that is out of this world.”

Knowing it's a demon, Grog flies up and draws his axe and swings.

Khellek's eyes widen as the new demon appears and seems to take umbrage at him. "I.." he says "Am a scholar. Not someone to be trifled with. Umm.. students... please note this creature before me, it has certain weakneses."

The scholars voice, used as it is to carrying over noisy classrooms, still seems to be starting to weaken.

Continue with IC

@Grog: LOL. That is one way to twist a request. You technically *are* doing what she asked you to do - after all, she never said you couldn't attack her whilst waiting for the kiss ;-)

Since everyone else seems to be piling it on, Numair shrugs, and fires a volley of force missiles at the demon.

"Since you requested a different spell, I suppose I can oblige."

Magic Missile: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 3, 4) + 5 = 19 Force damage.

SR Check: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 2 = 24.

By the demon, I mean the Succubus, if she is still up. He is hoping once she goes, the summons will fail too

@Grog: LOL. That is one way to twist a request. You technically *are* doing what she asked you to do - after all, she never said you couldn't attack her whilst waiting for the kiss ;-)

LOL

"You wanna KISS lady! Kiss this...."

Miriel hits with one arrow.

As she fires, the Red demon attacks her with its longspear and hits.
Longspear: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
Piercing damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Grog gets an attack indue to a poorly worded compulsion. It hits but her physical resistance prevents some of the damage.

Khellek has no problems identifying the new demon as a Babau. Immune to electricity and poison, resistance to acid, cold, fire and spells. Shouldn’t be much of a problem for this group.

After stepping away from the babau, he fires again at Samivashti and hits. That was just enough that she falls from the roof, dead.

Numair targets his spell at the new demon.

"Hah! Bear and 'Bus! Bessie is wracking up the kills. I told you my students, we have nothing to fear. "

Bedlam ignores the active demon in order to confirm the kill of Samivashti. The body is still here and now very dead.

Since it doesn’t really make any difference to the ending…

Your group manages to destroy the babau that Samivashti had summoned with little difficulty. It pops out of existence.

Shortly after that, Faelyn (the human that got blinded by Glitterdust) finally recovers his sight. He is confused, wondering where the maid went and what the creatures on the lawn are.

Lady Dyrianna is extremely grateful that he is uninjured and rewards you some money, a Ring of Counterspells and a Stormlure.

On the body of Zruuka you find a small fortune in gold rings, bejeweled piercing ins and precious gems. You also find a book of poetry written in infernal.

The book of poetry chronicles Zruuka’s history with Savashti, from when they met in Vudra where Savashti drained the life force of Zruuka’s master — a common rakshasa by the name of Alavranushva— through the centuries to the present. They are twisted prose telling of spying, betrayal, murder, and a long twisted affair between the two. Judging from the poetry, Zruuka was quite dedicated to the succubus.

Major Colson Maldris shows the corpse of Samivashti to the remaining dinner guests, and Lady Gloriana Morilla quickly capitalizes on the debacle as proof that the Worldwound's reach is too great to be ignored. With this the Pathfinders' plan to influence the Grand Council of Absalom to send troops to Mendev succeeds.

In the days that follow, Major Colson Maldris meets with Grog and Miriel and informs them that he is deeply distraught by Senator Naran's foppish behavior, which more befits an aristocrat than a statesman. As a result, Maldris announces that he is bound for Andoran to see for himself the state of his beloved country, and he invites the faction members to join him.

Two weeks later, Lady Gloriana Morilla sends Bedlam a letter informing him that she has visited Taldor to determine if Lady Vaelia's view is representative of the entire nation. What she found was that too many of Taldor's elite view the situation to the north with worried complacency. If the faction is to revitalize Taldor and remind others of its greatness, they will have to do so without the direct support of the homeland; however, Lady Morilla hints in her letter that she may have an idea, and she encourages her loyal agents to be ready to embark on an ambitious project in the coming days.

thanks for running

Bedlam still believes the show must go on and event generally should go smoother after main threat is done.
Moreover the shadowdancer enjoys mingling, dancing and casually talking to other Pathfinders.

Thats not first time demons are banished away. The fight is won, but the war is far from being over.

Though we should prevail, right??

Thanks for running!
