"That thing is... brutal." says Teja.
With the angel behind the blue claw providing a distraction, Teja tries to drive her rapier into its hide.

attakc vs FF: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (16) + 19 = 35

Teja stabs the prone Blue and ends its miserable existence. She then slaps a battle dressing on the worst of her wounds.

"Ow!" Manny loses his focus as the creature digs into him. "Alright, I guess quick magic only. Fine with me. Come on, let's hurry this up!" A Courageous Anthem bellows forth to inspire his team's offense.

Shylye frowns as she looks upon the wounded Zabu. Despite his... awful manners, he knows deep down inside when to do the right thing. At least that's what she tells herself.

Spell Attack: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 17 + 1 = 27
Spell Attack: 1d20 + 17 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (4) + 17 + 1 - 5 = 17

Sighing, she tears off a feather and throws it at Manny, creating a Shield. "Just focus on the task and protecting yourself, Manny. I'll keep distracting it."

◆ Cast Courageous Anthem. +1 Status bonus to Attacks and Damage.
◆ Sustain Illusory Creature and keep missing because I can't roll above a 10 apparently
◆ Cast Shield, doesn't trigger reactions
↺ >Shield Block<, Shield has Hardness 10.

Kohl takes a little hopping step to flank with the angel, then swings at the remaining gug.

Step, Snagging Strike, Strike
snagging strike: 1d20 + 22 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 22 + 1 = 34 for bludgeoning: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 3) + 8 = 17
snagging strike: 1d20 + 22 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 22 + 1 - 5 = 20 for bludgeoning: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 5) + 8 = 14
Off-Guard on hit until the beginning of my next turn, or until it
moves away from me.

Reactive Strike
snagging strike: 1d20 + 22 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 22 + 1 = 34 for bludgeoning: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 1) + 8 = 13

If I crit, the target is enfeebled 1 and clumsy 1, and knocked prone unless they succeed at a DC 27 Reflex save

Zabu's fury grows even more severe as he is outdone by the other pathfinders in bringing down one of the creatures quickly.

He redoubles his efforts, though he doesn't change his tactics.

Jaws(Raging): 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 18 + 1 = 31
Piercing: 2d12 + 6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (4, 4) + 6 + 5 + 1 = 20 plus Persistent Bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Athletics(Trip): 1d20 + 20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 20 + 1 - 4 = 37
Crit Trip Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Claw (Raging): 1d20 + 18 + 1 - 8 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 18 + 1 - 8 + 1 = 22
Slashing: 2d8 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 16 plus Persistent Bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Makai heals Zabu

Heal, 2-action: 5d8 + 40 ⇒ (2, 8, 2, 1, 4) + 40 = 57

"Hold on Zabu, Hold on!"

Than she prays to attack the creature

"Burn! Burn in the fires of forge-father!"

Religion vs will dc: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (20) + 18 = 38
Damage, good: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6 I don't think Battle Prayer was remastered ...

Manny renews his illusory angel but neither of its strikes connect.

Kohl flanks with Shyle and whacks it with his flail, grabbing onto it as well. Zabu takes advantage of Kohl's attack and gives it a solid chomp! Zabu then kicks the gug's legs out from under it, dropping it to the floor right on its face (if it had a face)!

Makai heals Zabu and does damage to the gug.

Tremendous Kohl - AC 29 72/126 (Resistances - Po 5; Drained 1)

Liam's shield takes most of the hit for him, though his arm still stings.
↺ Shield Block for -10 damage
Although I don't think 70 - 17 is 39 anyway.

"Brutal. Yes. But we can be, too."

Liam keeps his shield up. And then he tries to hit it, brutally. Though in his attacks, brute strength isn't the only factor (it is an important factor, still).

◆ Raise Shield
◆ Strike flickmace: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 18 + 1 = 29 for bludgeoning: 2d6 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3) + 12 + 1 = 20, fire: 1d6 ⇒ 2, and spirit damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3; total of 25 damage
◆ Strike flickmace: 1d20 + 18 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (7) + 18 + 1 - 5 = 21 for bludgeoning: 2d6 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (6, 2) + 12 + 1 = 21, fire: 1d6 ⇒ 2, and spirit damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1; total of 24 damage

GAH! Oops. Corrected in the tracker, also adjusted for shield block.

Liam blocks Red's last attack with his shield. He attempts to retaliate but Red avoids his attacks.

Red gets up and again unleashes a mass of claw attacks. However, it regaining its feet leaves it open to Kohl, who bonks it with his flail.

Liam, Kohl, Manny, Teja, Zabu: 1d5 ⇒ 3

Claw vs Manny AC 28, Reach 15': 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (14) + 23 = 37 for Slashing: 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (2, 8) + 13 = 23

The claw hits Manny though some of the damage is stopped by his mystical shield, which pops.

Liam, Kohl, Teja, Zabu: 1d4 ⇒ 4

Claw vs Zabu AC 26, Reach 15': 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28 for Slashing: 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (2, 1) + 13 = 16
Net 9 after resistance to slashing

Liam, Kohl, Teja: 1d3 ⇒ 2
Claw vs Kohl AC 29, Reach 15': 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (2) + 23 = 25 for Slashing: 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (7, 3) + 13 = 23

Kohl ducks and the claw whizzes over his head.

Liam, Teja: 1d2 ⇒ 2
Claw vs Teja AC 27, Reach 15': 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (1) + 23 = 24 for Slashing: 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (5, 1) + 13 = 19

Teja also ducks and the claw misses wide.

"Thanks Shylye!" The protective feather is torn asunder, but it does shield him from some of the claw. "Come on, let's take it down!" Manny takes a careful Step back, knowing he can't handle another one of those blows. His call to action inspires his teammates to attack with courage.

"Right..." The definite illusion swings her longsword twice more.

Spell Attack vs Flanking: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 17 + 1 = 35
Nonlethal Mental Damage: 4d4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 3, 4, 1) + 1 = 12
"Finally!" She exclaims. Or maybe Manny pantomimed it? Illusions can't speak. Right?

Spell Attack vs Flanking: 1d20 + 17 - 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 17 - 5 + 1 = 20

Manny's angel manages to strike Red and give it a headache. Its second blow fails to connect, however. Manny is obviously ecstatic at this...

Inspired by Manny's performance, Kohl takes two swings at the creature, really winding up for the second one!

Snagging Strike, Vicious Swing
