The half elf casts a spell engulfing all the opponents. [oocTwo 5ft burst. On the.phone I can’t put the templates on the map sorry[/ooc]

Telekinetic rend, amp: 2d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) + (6, 5) = 14

[oocFort DC 21[/ooc]

Then using Psi strikes he tries to hit the blue one.

+1 striking Elven branched spear: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

+1 striking Elven branched spear, hero point: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

Damage: 2d6 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 6) + 2 + (4) = 17

Deadly: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Slipp, was that a Rank 2 or Rank 3 Heal spell? I see 2 dice rolled but you wrote Heal 3 as the caption.

"Ughh..." Bella groans. "These brutes are quite accurate..."

Elduin causes another disturbance around Red and Blue. Red screams in agony as he's torn apart. Blue cries out as he is also unable to tough the disturbance out. He manages to get his shield up, however, as he sees Elduin't spear come straight at him. His shield stops Elduin's spear but it breaks in half as a result.

Yellow and White also get caught in a disturbance but both manage to tough out the attack.

Bella sees Tharpe isn't doing well. Normally this man has very quick reactions, but his shield was destroyed blocking Elduin's spear.

So she takes the risk and ◆Stands up.

"Let's try that again. Khiari, now!" She waves backwards to ◆Feint, hoping the guard doesn't realize Khiari has been banished.

Deception to Feint vs Blue's Will Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Blue doesn't fall for the bluff, so Bella uses one of her sister's moves: ◆Strike with a quick kick to the gut.

Fist: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
Nonlethal Bludgeoning Damage: 2d4 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2) + 3 + 3 = 9

Lioness is beginning to question his life choices. Or at least the one that lead him to investigating this room.

They've taken down one of their opponents but the guards here are more than holding their own having put one of their members down and another very close.

Since he doesn't want to find out what one of those clubs feels like, he does what he can to keep the people between him and them in the fight.

Pulling a wand out of a loop on his belt, he aims it at Tharpe and Soothes some of his wounds.

Soothe: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Bella gets back up. She tries to distract Blue but he doesn't fall for it. Disgruntled, she kicks him in the gut instead and he folds over, the wind knocked out of him.

Lioness pulls out a wand and sends Tharpe some much needed healing.

Tharpe tries to escape the grip

Escape, DC28, frightened: 1d20 + 12 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 12 - 1 = 30

After breaking the hold he tries to trip yellow in return and follow up with a strike

Trip, kukri, frightened, map: 1d20 + 12 + 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 1 - 1 - 4 = 20

Tharpe manages to escape. However, as he tries to trip Yellow, he trips over his own feet and ends up falling, himself. His strike misses completely.

White takes advantage of the slip and punches Tharpe!

1st Tharpe used kukri to trip, in case of crit fail, he would drop the weapon. And you say that the enemy has 20+ reflex? at lvl 4-5? That sounds a bit high right?

hmm. weird. The scenario text has its reflex at +20. But Archives has it at +10. I'll fix it.

Ok. The trip was successful, but you're still missing even if he's down. And the punch doesn't hit. :)

While dropping the fury of a fire fire on their enemies is satisfying... Slipp starts to feel that perhaps keeping their allies alive at the moment may be a slightly better long term strategy. They continue to 'claw' at the thin membrane between worlds, letting more healing flood into the wounded Bella.

healing L2: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (2, 3) + 16 = 21

They then direct a baleful glare at the thug in blue.

Starlight cannot see any more targets so she charges into the room, ((Are those rows of bookcases in there?)) hoping she doesn't get struck at on the way. At the far end, she points her horn at the blue clothed person and lets loose a Frostbite

more like picnic tables, since they were eating a meal

Slipp heals Bella and glares at Blue, who trembles slightly. Starlight runs in and tries to encase Blue in ice, but he powers through it.

"Oy! Whitey, get the horsey thing! I got this one!" Yellow says, as he gets up and clubs Tharpe.

Khiari felt the link break again. Also warping back to Evanescent Green never feels right. She needs to get back there. May as well look at her board of crazy pictures and conspiracies sociogram of who could have murdered their father... and the Rose Witch who wants to bring him back.

Bella would love to summon her sister back, but this guard is persistent and reacts as soon as her guard is down. So she must fight on. "Sister, emerge!" She tries to misdirect the Blue clad foe ahead of her.

Deception to Feint vs Blue's Will Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

"And save us from these miscreants!" Bella poses dramatically, hoping to catch the White-dressed guard's attention.
Performance vs White's Will Save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

Filled with Confidence and Panache, Bella performs an Axe Kick, hoping to break the Blue guard's collarbone.

Bludgeoning Damage: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1) + 3 = 5

Then she prepares a ↺Flashy Dodge if someone attacks her.

Bella pretends to summon Khiari, which Blue flinches to. She then strikes a dramatic pose, which distracts Blue further. Her kick not only shatters his collarbone, but also caves his chest in as well.

Tharpe repeats his standar trip followed by two stirkes, easy and deadly

Seeing Tharp being the one in danger now, Slipp continues to worry at the thin veil between worlds, letting more and more healing energy through and into the rogue.

They then advance into the room, hoping to see targets to burn.

Anyone watching closely might see the little gnome is starting to sweat a bit.

Starlight steps back into the corner and and zaps Whitey with electricity.

Tharpe again kicks Yellow's feet out from under him. This time, his slash connects and Yellow howls in pain. Fortunately for Yellow, the second slash misses completely.

Slipp sends more healing to Tharpe and moves into the room.

Starlight zaps Whitey, who can't get away in time and gets the full jolt.

I'll rule the strike as greater cover though it doesn't matter since a 30 hits anyway!

Yellow grimaces as the air around him tries to tear him apart but he manages to withstand it. Elduin then strikes Yellow with his spear in an amazing feat of accuracy.

That’s fair. Thank you

It was rough going there for a few moments, but Lioness' potential targets quickly fall and he has to Step around the corner to see anyone to attack.

Fortunately, he still has a dose of Phantom Pain in his staff.

Brandishing the wooden shaft with a carved brain on the end, he projects that pain at White.

mental damage: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3 and persistent mental: 1d4 ⇒ 2 persistent mental damage with a DC20 Will save.

Critical Success The target is unaffected.
Success The target takes full initial damage but no persistent damage, and the spell ends immediately.
Failure The target takes full initial and persistent damage, and the target is sickened 1. If the target recovers from being sickened, the persistent damage ends and the spell ends.
Critical Failure As failure, but the target is sickened 2.and 1d4 persistent mental damage with a Will save.

White cries out in pain, he starts babbling incoherently about feeling the pain from having an ingrown toenail removed when he was a kid. He grimaces as he limps forward, looking to strike Starlight with his club.

Club vs Starlight AC 20: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 for Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Club vs Starlight AC 20, MAP: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 for Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Apparently the pain from the ingrown nail has an effect. As he swings his second blow, he goes rigid, and falls to the floor, dead.

he had all of 1 hp left so why bother rolling :)

Yellow sees White suddenly drop dead for no apparent reason. He howls in fury. "Whitey! Ye (bleep)! He was me brudder!" He climbs to his feet and attacks Tharpe with reckless abandon.

Surrender or you'll die as well.

Then, if the remaining one doesn't surrender, the half elf moves into the room, casts Shield and strikes the man using Psi strikes.

I think he would have done better to have surrendered

19 hits because of the Frightened but the Nat 20 is more dramatic

Elduin charges in and drives his spear into Yellow's chest. Yellow stiffens, staring at the spear, before dropping without a word.

COMBAT OVER

You find, among the other items in the room, a bundle of papers marked with the Aspis Consortium symbol that shows a number of targets for burglary by the organization, this list includes many minor nobles and shopkeepers. This is more evidence you can take back to the Grand Princess.

You retrieve the now conscious Najid and return to the academy. The researchers review the documents and confirm all the relevant information is present and the Grand Princess calls for all the researchers and their entourages to be brought to the palace as her guests.

As all are gathered the Grand Princess speaks. "Thank you everyone for coming. We now have definitive proof that the Pathfinder Society is acting in good faith and did not steal the research so precious to us in these precarious times. They have returned with the documentation and have defeated the thieves in question. I ask us all to use this event to forge us together into a cooperative force.

Officially we are dropping all charges against the Pathfinder Society and release Kreighton Shaine as he is accused of no further wrongdoing. We also wish to thank the Pathfinders present for working with us to put a swift and equitable end to this concern. Thank you to all of the research teams in attendance, and may you continue to enjoy the festivities for the next few days".

What follows is a royal banquet, hastily assembled, but not lacking in any way, celebrating the Pathfinders to apologize for the accusations.

For your part, each of you is granted a ceremonial falcata inlaid with platinum (worth 50 gp).

It's a ceremonial blade, not meant for combat

As you make your way back to the Oppara Lodge, Kreighton speaks,"Thank you all for doing your utmost to retrieve that data, regardless of how the presentation would have shaken out, if we had been formally and officially found guilty of stealing that data, who knows what complications would have arisen. I'm proud of you that you did your best to take my data and reinterpret it into a way the crowd could find digestible, and my hope for the future is that other Pathfinders take to research in the same spirit."

Thanks very much for running this. That last night was a doozie.

Chronicle received.

"Hey sis! That took longer than expected..." Khiari looks up from her pile of pages. "This looks more like a royal palace than a thug's lair... did we win already?"

Bella gently nudges her to silence as the Grand Princess calls for attention. Khiari stuffs her notes onto her belt and takes a bow. Normally she wouldn't waste her efforts on this formality but the Grand Princess did help out Bella. So Khiari will play along.

Plus, it's a royal banquet. She gets to smooze with nobles and merchants who are too drunk to pretend to be reserved around her. She gets a few names, locations and dates to check up on later.

The tea is slightly cold.
The crumpets are slightly undercooked.
The instruments need tuning.

Bella is aware at the haste of this celebration, and she would formally protest if she weren't half beaten to death by some surprisingly strong ruffians.

But how many times will the Grand Princess formally apologize to Bella right before an impromptu celebration? She cherishes the moment. Plus she gets to politely rub it in to all those who doubted the Pathfinders' innocence in this endeavor.

"I would not mind modifying some of these dances, see if we can get it working in a simple time signature. I'm certain a... tavern or such establishment wouldn't mind our performance."

As Bella struggles for the word tavern, a spark of magic flits out of her hand, snapping like a firecracker. "Hmm. I must visit the Rose Witch again. I think it's time."

Thanks for the game everyone. Those guards put up a real fight but we pulled ahead.

Rose Witch? Now you have me curious. Who are they?

And as for that last fight being tough, I was expecting another one to be honest. I could have unleashed some more powerful spells.

"A... guest at the Sidare Manor." Bella rolls her hands in a very careful practiced manner, far away from the cold iron dagger by her hip. "She offers an impossible deal, but I believe she seeks refuge. And our father's passing is at the center of it. While I cannot offer a banquet of this caliber, the Sidare Manor would be honored to have you all as guests."
