Basic Reflex or Will DC 29

Hits Orange, Red and Yellow.

Virava stabs at the pink weaponmaster, whose shield lessens the damage somewhat. (It seems you can Shield Block against invisible attacks, which surprised me.) The rogue steps away and clears her sickness.

Jiki's spell breaths life back into the wounded Nina; the bard then sprays shadows across the battlefield.

Reflex (Red): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20

The blast takes out the elite assassin and injures the two others.

The other assassin comes to stand over his fallen comrade, slashing at Jakoby.

Jakoby takes down the pink weaponmaster, and Ro takes a big bite out of gray.

Fortitude (Yellow): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
Fortitude (Grey): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (18) + 18 = 36

Sylvia's spell saps the life force of the enemies.

The blue hierophant takes advantage of Othello's momentary confusion to escape from his shadow, striding across the battlefield. He casts a spell on himself.

◆ "Uiwlk sll ipbls!!"

◆ Fly over next to Blue five feet above the ground.

◆ Lay on hands to Nina for 30 points (and +2 to AC)

Didn't Jiki cast Soothe? Nina should be conscious.

Sorry! That's my fault Nina is conscious. Othello, if you want to change your LoH to something else, feel free. Nina was at 22 HP.

Change third action to:

Strike Blue, w/sickened 1: 1d20 + 19 - 1 ⇒ (20) + 19 - 1 = 38for: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (10, 10) + 5 = 25

Nina will cast shield ◆ (no Manipulate) and stands up ◆ (provoking).

AC 27 with shield (but off-guard due to prone), will Shield Block a hit (resist 15) if it keeps her up, but not if she goes down regardless and not if she stays up regardless. So, with 22 hit points, if the hit is 22-37 damage, she'll block it, but not if it's 21 or less, and it won't matter if it's more than 38.

If Nina gets Crit for 38 or more and goes down (which would bring her to Dying 4), I'll expend my Hero Points to save her.

If Nina successfully stands, she'll Stride away (1 SW, 4 S) from the meanies.

If someone hits Nina, Othello will Glimpse of Redemption that hit. If they Refuse, this will prevent 12 points of the damage, and the attacker will get 4 persistent spirit damage and be Enfeebled 2.

"I'll protect you, sister."

Othello flies over to Nina's rescue and takes out the hierophant who was menacing her. She stands and retreats from the scrum, provoking an attack from the weaponmaster.

longsword: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41 for slashing: 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (5, 1) + 12 = 18
The sword cuts deep into her, but with intervention from Othello (the weaponmaster refuses to repent) and the aid of her shield spell, she stays on her feet!

The devil caster curses as the hierophant goes down, casting his own spell. Fire arcs from his hand, targeting Sylvia, Nina, and Jiki.

blazing bolt (Sylvia): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25 for fire: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 2, 6) = 17
blazing bolt (Nina): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28 for fire: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 6, 4) = 19
blazing bolt (Jiki): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (8) + 17 = 25 for fire: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 4, 4) = 11

The blazing bolts sizzle against Sylvia and Nina, but Jiki dodges them.
Sorry Nina. I know it's frustrating to yo-yo. These guys are supposed to be smart mercs, though, so their damage dealers are targeting the spellcasters.

negative: 4d8 ⇒ (8, 2, 2, 2) = 14
Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 17

The weaponmaster targets Othello, finally in his reach.
longsword: 1d20 + 21 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 21 - 2 = 23 for slashing: 2d8 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (8, 7) + 12 - 2 = 25

Virava will tumble behind and then attack.

Virava will start by attacking pink.

Pink is down. Do you want to attack red?

Going to assume those attacks do go to red.

The invisible Virava slashes at the remaining assassin, critically striking once and hitting with a second attack. The assassin crumples to the ground.

"Surely no one is meant to die as part of this test?" Jiki calls out to whoever may be watching. Turning to the Devilish Dealers, he implores, "If she removes herself from the conflict, will you let her be?"

Regardless of the answer, Jiki brings Nina back from the brink once more.

◆◆ Cast a Spell (Signature)

"♪ Gentle hum, soothing balm,
♪ Comfort's touch, bring inner calm.
Soothe!"
Healing: 2d10 + 8 ⇒ (9, 8) + 8 = 25

"Nina, lay down your arms. Your life is too valuable to throw away here."

And your tag says you have life link. I think it would have ended when you dropped, but if not, please dismiss it.

◆ Interact to retrieve scroll of breath of life

"You are correct, we surrender," the standing weaponmaster concedes to Jiki. He feeds a potion to the group's cleric, who unleashes enough healing to keep everyone from meeting Asmodeus face-to-face.

The Fleshforger's meat construct lumbers to the arena and speaks: "The Pathfinders are the victors." He intones.

With your victory, the Fleshforger entrusts you with dealing with the oozeshard. He provides you with two weeks of provisions. He also provides you with a generous stipend of gold coins. (Equal to 2 treasure bundles.)

You will have time to rest before you venture south to toward Nex's border with the Mana Wastes. The land here there is harsh and unforgiving, blasted and irradiated by centuries of magical warfare between the rival archwizards Geb and Nex, along with the armies of their eponymous countries. Prepare accordingly!

I'll move us into the next section tomorrow after everyone has the chance to do their daily prep.

Jakoby goes to check on Nina. Okay. She gathers herself and allies after the fight. Stupid to have to pit against eachother. She knew that they would win. And so, she sheathes her sword, and turns in for the night.

The next day Jakoby wakes up early to watch the sun rise while mixing, packing into her carved wooden pipe, and smoking sweet-smelling herbs from her pouch. She gladly shares with anyone that joins her.

She prays to Ol' Deadeye "You bastard" and he grants her a few begrudging spells.

That was not how Jiki expected his plea to land, but he is not going to argue, and immediately begins helping to tend the wounded (Pathfinders first, but he is willing to help the Dealers as well).

Is 'time to rest' overnight or just minutes/hours?

Overnight

Nina grumbles something about it not being a fair fight and dusts herself off.

Default preparations for the next day. Would anyone like life connection?

Lucky Number: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Sylvia will repeat her daily preperations.

Lucky Number: 1d20 ⇒ 3
Longstrider(2)
Wand of Teeming Ghosts
Mage Armor(4) <Included in header>

Apparently 3 is a lucky number today.

Encounter: 1d6 ⇒ 4

You prepare for your journey and set off into the wastelands. It's easy to follow the trail of your quarry as the gigantic ooze leaves a swath of destruction in its wake.

The search is not without complications, however: You stumble across a couple of large beasts snarling over a picked over carcass. Their three heads (each) all swivel quickly to look at you. "Fresh meat!" They seem to growl.

You cautious trackers are able to get the drop on the creatures!

Taking aim and studying the beast, Jakoby lets off a single arrow to disturb Yellow, and waving her hand, imbues her avian companion with deep green primal energy - his feathers grow thicker, and a "beard" appears at his beak, draping down with colorful elegance.

Ro, protected by his master's magic, soars ahead to antagonize the beast!

Jiki starts a jaunty tune and recalls what he can about the creatures.

He recognizes that the creature is a chimera, and remembers that each of its three heads gets its own reaction in combat.

Sylvia summons an elemental to attack, but its strike fall short.

Nina calls on the power of her god to smite the hostile creatures.
Red: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26
Yellow: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23

Virava & Othello close in on the enemies. The creatures don't seem to understand Othello's quip about their abilities.

Jakoby sends Ro closer and studies the creatures with his tracker's knowledge.

His accurate shot frightens and pins down the yellow creature.

The red chimera roars as it closes to face you, one or its heads focusing on the summoned elemental, one on Othello, and one on Virava.

Three-Headed Strike

The hawk puffs out of existence after a critical hit, the lion head savages Othello, and Virava dodges the goat's horns.

The yellow chimera pulls the arrow free, flies up to Ro, and attacks.

Sylvia shrugs as her hawk bites it. She takes advantage of her longstrider to pass Jiki and get a bit closer before firing a ray of frost at red.
