Jaxon shoos the bugs away and watches Hancock go to town on the effigy. He cracks his knuckles and carefully watches the bunker for any sign of activity.
Hancock lives up to his name and gets angry. He wades in with his maul and pounds the effigy until it ends up in two pieces. The bugs suddenly disappear.
Realizing that the effigy will serve as evidence required by the venture-captain, you gather up the pieces, taking care to keep both halves separate...
With the coast clear and the magical watchdog rendered inoperable, you head down the stairs to the bunker. When you enter the antechamber, you are confronted by four scruffy individuals who don't appear to have bathed recently. They all pull weapons and attack.
You also notice what appears to be a mirror against the far wall...

"Alright, whoever is down there probably knows we're coming." Swayaah sighs.
As she enters, she peers at the strange fellows. "So... you found a place to sleep in the middle of nowhere and put a religious alarm nearby?"
Who are these guys? Recall Knowledge. Worst Saving Throw would help.
Then she moves up and tries to wrestle with the Yellow fellow.

Hancock/Jaxon:
The lavish mirror on the other side of the room looks out of place for the antechamber.
Swayaah charges forward and tries to grapple Yellow, but his month-old body odor drives her back and brings tears to her eyes. Red runs forward and flanks Swayaah with Yellow. He stabs at her with a dagger.

Frenzied Assault [◆◆◆]
The Deskari fanatic Strides to an enemy creature and makes three Strikes in a frenzy. These Strikes have a +1 status bonus to attack and a +2 status bonus to damage. The Deskari fanatic can’t make a frenzied assault on a creature it’s already in melee with.

Jaxon begins bleeding from the nose and mouth, but while he's a bit surprised, it wasn't anything that he hadn't experienced dozens of times before. This time he didn't even need to get hit.
The thug spots the bloody reflection in the mirror hustles over to it. He whips off his shirt and flexes for a moment. "Nah, you can't handle this!" Then he drops the shirt over the reflection.

Hancock seems to enjoy the spectacle of the bleeding figure in the mirror. He then enters a frenzy rivaling that of the cultists. The main difference being, he hits harder. Yellow finds out first hand as two of Hancock's strikes leave him bloody.

Hancock pounds Blue with his first blow. Then Blue realizes that there is this tactic called ducking that lets Hancock play out his anger without getting walloped by that massive hammer he's carrying.
Jaxon stumbles over to flank White. He manages to punch him in the back of the head.
The attack barely hit with a flank, so AC 22.
White howls in anger at the blindsided attack. He turns and goes full Chuckie on Jaxon.

We can handwave healing and refocusing -- it's probably not going to take more than an hour anyway since it's just hp damage; you're not really on a timetable. Just don't camp out for a week! :)

You also discover one cultist wears a tarnished medallion bearing the symbol of Deskari that can serve as evidence.

Ahzeem has 2 minor potions of heal left from before and the 2nd level scroll. Not sure where they are. Used to carry potions in belt pouches/healing kit but I don't see belt pouches as an option anymore. I do have a healer's kit though.
It is not looking good, is it. These guys are hard hitters, got damage resistance, and numerous. Not a good combo. I've really been wondering about the balance here.
These thugs are rough. I can focus on slowing Jaxon down while the Barbarians clobber the minions.
If we can get Ahzeem back up he can focus on keeping us alive.
I don't know how the possession mechanics work. Seems like we need to keep Jaxon held back until he critically succeeds and ejects the demon. That's going to take a while.
A bit of Meta-gaming going on here, but the GM doesn't seem to be concerned so I will throw my 2 cents in.
Ahzeem will NOT be able to keep us alive if he was up. Ahzeem currently has 1 Focus Point. He can use it for Fire Ray OR Healer's Blessing.
Spell-wise, he has 1 Healers Font left. 1 1L Create Water, and cantrips.
The GM stated that Spirit Magic is just the new Holy. According to Archives of Nethys, the "Official" source according to Pazio, Spirit energy is defined:
Spirit:
Source: Player Core pg. 461 2.0
Effects with this trait can affect creatures with spiritual essence and might deal spirit damage. A creature with this trait is defined by its spiritual essence. Spirit creatures often lack a material form.
and Possession as:
Possession:
Source: Player Core pg. 459 2.0
Effects with this trait allow a creature to project its mind and spirit into a target. A creature immune to mental effects can’t use a possession effect. While possessing a target, a possessor’s true body is unconscious (and can’t wake up normally), unless the possession effect allows the creature to physically enter the target. Whenever the target takes damage, the possessor takes half that amount of damage as mental damage.
A possessor loses the benefits of any of its active spells or abilities that affect its physical body, though it gains the benefits of the target’s active spells and abilities that affect their body. A possessor can use any of the target’s abilities that are purely physical, and it can’t use any of its own abilities except spells and purely mental abilities. The GM decides whether an ability is purely physical or purely mental. A possessor uses the target’s attack modifier, AC, Fortitude save, Reflex save, Perception, and physical skills, and its own Will save, mental skills, spell attack modifier, and spell DC; benefits of invested items apply where relevant (the possessor’s invested items apply when using its own values, and the target’s invested items apply when using the target’s values). A possessor gains no benefit from casting spells that normally affect only the caster, since it isn’t in its own body. The possessor must use its own actions to make the possessed creature act.
If a possessor reaches 0 Hit Points through any combination of damage to its true body and mental damage from the possession, it is knocked out as normal and the possession immediately ends. If the target reaches 0 Hit Points first, the possessor can either fall unconscious with the body and continue the possession or end the effect as a free action and return to its body. If the target dies, the possession ends immediately, and the possessor is stunned for 1 minute.
so if Ahzeem WAS still standing, he could try to batter both of them with Divine Lance, but would have to succeed in getting through Jaxons AC to do so.
IMHO, priority MUST be given to dropping the extras first. We are looking at a protentional, quite possibly even enviable, TPK otherwise.
Just my 2 cents. I could be wrong of course, it has happened once or twice before in my lifetime. *joke*
Actually, the part I forgot to mention is that the demon itself (when not possessing anyone) is incorporeal, which explains why it has a resistance to certain kinds of damage. The possession spell in this adventure is a slightly modified version (range of touch, otherwise I would have tried to get someone long ago).
You can either do a dispel counteract (unlikely since the DC is quite high) or Jaxon goes on a hot streak and succeeds each round with the Will Save. If Jaxon Critically succeeds, the demon gets kicked out.
When I played this, I got lucky and made the save, which made the demon an unwanted passenger instead of getting controlled...

Ahzeem, worst case scenario -- you can burn all your hero points to not die... or if someone can feed you your healing potion...

Good thing Hancock's weapon has ghost touch. Then again it might never appear again.
Yea, that would have been bad, but he does have a 25% chance to make the save and a boon that would end it if he does. Folmyr would have been bad too though she is pretty beat up and barely hanging on.
Before I take my turn could someone be kind enough to explain what the OG in my conditions mean, please?
Off Guard. You're still prone after I revived you, so you're considered off guard and your AC is lower as a result. Spend an action to Stand Up and you'll get rid of it.

You all might have done it. If Red goes down, and Folmyr has Jaxon Restrained, then you can just tie him up. Either the demon gives him up and it's 5 vs 1 now, or you can just Divine Lance the tied up Jaxon until he crit succeeds a Will Save.
If we can keep the posting rate up, we can probably finish before Gameday. there's one more encounter but compared to this guy it'll be easy... trust me... :)
If you want your downtimes included, go ahead and roll them now as well.
btw, Folmyr -- Othello inspired one of my other PCs. I recently rebuilt one of my PCs as a halberd-wielding cleric (w/ rogue dedication). I'm looking to play him with both fly and R4 invisibility... with a reach weapon... :)

Othello is slightly sub-optimal. But, that makes him fun to play.
I think Ahzeem and Hancock just went partying instead, to celebrate surviving, at the encouragement of Bruce. We both had crit fails and that seems like a good excuse.
A freshly exorcised Jaxon walks out of the Grand Lodge seeing Hancock and Ahzeem arm in arm singing bawdy songs slightly off-key... swaying side to side...
