"I'm a researcher, too!" Quinoline says, before realizing that she would be the subject of these experiments. "...ah."

Quinoline's not turning back. Even if it's certain doom, she'd volunteer to help the researchers get statistical significance.

Wait, what? Did you just call us simple? Simple as in simpletons? We too are here to explore and such. But you seem to have caused someone pain which is why we are here to investigate.

I take it that's 2 votes for not leaving? :)

Lydia has no intent of leaving

Astrid is unimpressed and yawns obnoxiously. "Have you finished your villainous monologue yet or is there more? Sorry. I don't mean to be rude. Go ahead and finish. It's cute." She motions for the creature to continue and yawns again.

Astrid - LOL!

The Librarian doesn't quite react to Astrid's jibe. Of course, having no eyes, it's a bit hard to tell what the thing is thinking. "I had a feeling it would come to this. Guardians! Attend!"

The door behind you slams shut and three other creatures materialize in front of the Librarian. Boss Fight music plays

You chug your mistform elixirs and Lydia fades from sight. Rex, do you cast haste from the scroll now or will you wait?

Good luck, Pathfinders!

◆ Raise Shield

Quinoline attempts to identify the librarian but all she remembers is that it looks like her old alchemy professor in Pathfinder school. She tries to get an angle on the Librarian but can't find one. She hurls a bottle of blue liquid at Pink, hitting it in the face and causing its body to go rigid for a few seconds. Its eyes blink rapidly to clear the spots.

Rex reads the scroll from the Grand Lodge and everyone appears to move faster. Astrid drops into a combat stance and becomes more heroic.

Blue moves up and lashes out at Astrid.

Will: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (11) + 19 = 30 vs DC 28

"I feel fine," Quinoline says, in an unnaturally deep voice.

Quinoline doesn't know this, but I as a player know that Possession usually means the caster's body goes limp. Does Pink go limp? If so, Quinoline won't bother attacking it as a secondary target.

She considers her options against the Librarian.

◆ Devise a Strategem: 1d20 ⇒ 15

With a good Strike against the Librarian, Quinoline takes it.

◆ Greater Acid Flask, 1st range increment (Far Bomber): 15 + 21 = 36
Acid: 3 = 3 plus 10 splash acid plus 3d6+10 persistent acid

◆ Raise Shield

Rex tries to keep Crystal in fighting shape as he loads his crossbow. Giving a glare to the large creature in front of him.

◆◆ Cast a Spell (Soothe rank 6)
Concealed: 1d20 ⇒ 1 well, so much for that. I guess we all get to be reminded of the downside of concealment.
Healing: 6d10 + 24 ⇒ (7, 4, 3, 2, 4, 4) + 24 = 48 +2 save vs mental effects for 1 minute.

◆ Raconteur's Reload
◇ Demorailize
Intimidation vs Pink: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (16) + 23 = 39

◆ Strike
Attack: 1d20 + 22 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 22 + 1 = 40
Piercing: 3d8 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (2, 8, 6) + 1 + 3 = 20 Last 3 is precision

I didn't even notice that Astrid had the Quick Shield Block feat... Quinoline can forget about the Will Save!

Astrid's shield snaps into place as Blue's claws reach her. As Pink attempts to possess Quinoline, Astrid's sword cleaves through its body, disrupting the spell!

Astrid growls at the librarian. To everyone's surprise, it appears to have been affected! Astrid immediately swings at the librarian thrice. However only her second blow manages to connect.

Rex attempts to heal one of his comrades but loses them in the mist. He roars at Pink and frightens it. However, his crossbow bolt shoots into Pink's eye and ends its miserable existence.

Quinoline gets a good angle on the librarian and chucks an Acid flask at it, the vial hits and splatters green corrosive liquid all over, mostly sticking to the librarian, who appears a bit frazzled...

Blue stares into Astrid's eyes and suddenly Astrid's mind is filled with disjointed images of her worst fears and nightmares.

Mental; DC 31 Basic Will: 6d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 2, 5, 1) = 15

Blue then attempts to take a bite out of the warrior in its claws.

Jaw vs Astrid AC 34, OG, Magical, MAP: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22 for Slashing: 2d12 + 9 ⇒ (3, 11) + 9 = 23

It then raises a mystical shield. (+1 AC)

Spoilered AoO below, will take first reaction available.

Hero pointing the nat 1 from above.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (13) + 23 = 36

Crystal and Orin both step up and clobber the Librarian, who hisses in pain. Orin's attack spills over into the Blue thing but somehow the pick encounters some resistance and doesn't do as much damage as Orin would like.

Crystal then dives under Blue's claws and maintains panache.

"You lot should have learned not to leave your greasy handprints on the books! I'll have to teach you a lesson!"

It then lashes out at the Pathfinders around him.

Astrid, Crystal, Lydia, Orin: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Claw vs Lydia AC 32, ND, Reach 10: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (16) + 29 = 45 for Slashing: 3d8 + 14 ⇒ (6, 7, 2) + 14 = 29 Doubled to 58

It sounded like Astrid's demoralize on the librarian was successful. If so it doesn't look like it was applied and would have reduced the crit on Orin to a regular hit. Also Astrid's moderate dread rune would have forced the librarian to make a DC29 will save to reduce their frightened below 2.

will save DC31: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 18 + 1 = 27

15 Mental damage for Astrid. She is now 115/176

Fire: 3d8 ⇒ (5, 3, 5) = 13 plus 10 splash fire plus 3 persistent fire plus DC 30 Fortitude vs dazzled (1 round)
Note that the splash and the persistent don't double on a crit. So that's 26 fire, 10 splash fire, 3 persistent fire, plus the save.

She then ◆ slaps a bandage onto Crystal's wound.

Battle Medicine (Assurance 25): 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (5, 3) + 10 = 18

Looks like Lydias HP wasnt updated. 111 - 58 = 53

Lydia draws another potion healing and chugs it, before casting a spell to guide her blade and attempting to strike the librarian.

Quinoline sees the perfect shot on the Librarian and hits it right in the face with Alchemist fire. Quinoline then turns and slaps a battle dressing on Crystal's arm.

Lydio chugs a healing potion and looks better. Lydia then attacks but her strike doesn't connect.

Rex gives the librarian a look of death and shoots it with his crossbow. The bolt hits and the librarian looks weaker.
