The Mad Hopper uses a potent esoteric formula to help out and starts digging like a bulette.

Meanwhile Chulyin helps push the medical needs to the back burner as the initial rush of need is ocercome.

-------------------------------

You have THREE 10 minute "rounds" and SIX tasks. Work together, split the party? I'm ready for both. But you're about to make some hard choices. In each round, ONE of you per task may start off by calling for the locals to rally. That PC can make a Diplomacy check for some automatic successes. Reinforce buildings and triage are complete.

The Bakery is on fire!:

The smell of smoke in the air draws attention to the bakery. Flames caress the building’s roof and spill out of the windows, threatening adjacent structures.

Skills: Athletics, Engineering Lore, Rank 1 or greater Water spell.

Successes: 2 of 6

Bison Stampede!:

A low rumble ripples through the ground, but this time it is not an earthquake. A dozen Sarkorian red bison have escaped their pen and stampede through the streets. Panicked citizens leap out of the path of the oncoming animals and scramble to avoid the thundering hooves.

Skills: Athletics, Farming Lore, Nature, Intimidation, Melee/Ranged attack

Successes: 0 of 6

Dig for Survivors!:

A group of Pimatsih’s citizens frantically remove rubble from a collapsed building. Faint cries can be heard from under the rubble. “A whole family was sheltering in there when it collapsed!” yells one man, blood streaming from his head.

Skills: Athletics, Fortitude Save, Engineering Lore, Thievery, Disable Device, Abilities that grant a Burrow Speed

Successes: 1 of 6

Scan for Trouble:

The citizens and town guard are working together across the village, moving rubble, carrying the injured to casualty clearing stations, rounding up stray animals and crying children, and fighting fires. The only task that is left undone is the usual task of the town guard: watching for enemies at the gate.

Skills: Perception, Diplomacy, Warfare Lore, Effects that can alarm

Successes: 4 of 6

Azbjorn fails to rally the people enough to make an appreciable difference. It's a blow to his morale because he then doesn't do a great job fghting the fire.

Zanderel's scouting efforts go well, but he doesn't manage to rally the emotionally drained locals.

Orin also works like a dog to rescue people. Upgraded to crit.

Just as Azbjorn emerges from his latest trip your hearts sink as a scout shouts, “Demons! Demons are coming!"

There is precious little time to prepare. The bakery is still burning, and the stampede is not under control, adding to the chaos. Still, you've done so much in such little time that the people of Pimatsih seem ready to take on the challenge. Their morale is pretty high all things considered.
Support comes pouring out after the alarm. Indeed, one grateful healer rushes out and hands you (one of you needs to claim it) a Greater Potion of Flying.

Demons are coming! Because you completed the scouting task you have the following benefits: You may take TWO TURNS in encounter mode to do whatever you'd like and you can place yourselves anywhere on the map. Assume the demons are coming in on one of the two openings to the east. Then roll your preferred initiative with a +2 circumstance bonus. Additionally, you have a finite pool of points based on your performance in part 1.

  • Deal 4d12 bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing damage (player’s choice) to a single target, as nearby citizens are inspired to join in the fray
  • Grant a +2 status bonus to AC for the PCs for 1 round as Pimatsih’s citizens act as shield bearers
  • Automatically stabilize a dying creature as Pimatsih medics rush into the fray.

    Orin gets himself ready, planting his feet in the middle of the southern path and entering Paragon's Guard Stance.

    Once you’ve had a moment to set your stance, you always have your shield ready without a thought. While you are in this stance, you constantly have your shield raised as if you’d used the Raise a Shield action.

    Orin has Lastwall Warden, allowing him to block for adjacent allies. Additionally Reflexive Shield adds his shield bonus to his reflex save and lets him block reflex effects. Finally Quick Block gives him an additional Shield Block reaction each round. Orin also has Attack of Opportunity. He'll generally take the first available reactions every round.

    With battle imminent, Zanderel sets to work. "Orin, I suspect you'll benefit from a quickened step. Allow me to instill within you an elven grace."

    He moves his hands through a series of quick gestures, speaking arcane words that grant the dwarf hastened limbs.
    Cast Haste on Orin (2 Actions)

    Out from under the elven wizard's robes comes a before unseen creatute. A tiny, winged scamp made up of air. It speaks. "My master, if it is danger that comes, I would... rather be elsewhere."

    "Yes, yes. I'm busy. Up you go," Zanderel says, giving the scamp a dismissive gesture.
    Forgot to introduce the familiar. Going to use an action to give it two actions, which it'll use to fly up on top of the nearby building (1 Action)

    Knowing that it is critical that he see any hidden foes, Zanderel waves his hands through another spell: one that will let him see the unseen. Completing the magic, his elven eyes briefly flow with a white light before returning to their normal copper colour.
    Cast See the Unseen (2 Actions)

    Finally, the elf inscribes a circle of arcane runes that he knows will dampen enemies’ magic. The runes take up the space beside him, with an invisible dome emanating out
    Cast Spell Protection Array (1 Action). Creatures in the circle gain a +1 status bonus to saving throws against magic. The circle lasts until the end of your next turn, though I can Sustain it, to a maximum duration of 1 minute. Area is marked on the map (blue dashed box).

Because you completed the scouting task you have the following benefits: You may take TWO TURNS in encounter mode to do whatever you'd like and you can place yourselves anywhere on the map. Assume the demons are coming in on one of the two openings to the east. Then roll your preferred initiative with a +2 circumstance bonus. Additionally, you have a finite pool of points based on your performance in part 1.

    Just a heads up, be careful when manipulating the map. I put the correct map back out.

    Zanderel: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33
    ???: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (1) + 26 = 27

    A cacophony of screams and growls rises from the building in the center of town - upon which Azbjorn is standing. The door bursts open, and a pair of misshapen fiends charge out of the building. They’re covered in green scales and snarl with their wolflike face as they run through the town. They rampage down the street, tearing apart buildings and hurling debris around them as they go. The building is clearly going to collapse any second. The monsters don't see you and they simply start going after civilians!

    It appears your foe is smarter than you thought. The hoards are still coming from the east, but the advance guard is coming from below.

    Screams increase as the bakery fire looks like it's also going to spread to other buildings now too!

    This is clearly a fight for not only your lives, but those of the good people of Pimatsih...

    Orin takes advantage of haste to close the distance with red whom he introduces to his pick.

    On Hit: piercing: 3d6 + 9 + 3 ⇒ (5, 6, 3) + 9 + 3 = 26

    On Crit:

    Chulyin's chanting sounds above the Pathfinders as Orin and Azbjorn move to engage the demon's from below. Suddenly, a twenty foot tall wall of stone rises to corral the demons and, hopefully, keep them away from the civilians.

    Realizing that the demons have burst through the central building and are harassing the people of this town, Zanderel hastens to call forth additional aid.

    Weaving a complex conjuration spell, the elf opens a rift in space. One that allows a flame drake to step out of. "Do battle with the demons you see. Nothing more."

    Correcting initiative.

    Azbjorn rushes down from the collapsing building, to find himself alone with a rampaging fiend! He locks eyes and steels his resolve and intent. The fiend does the same, annoyed that it didn't realize a piece of food ran into its path.

    Orin dashes in, also moving faster than the fiend is ready for and opens with a mighty blow!

    Then both Azbjorn and Orin realize the dire nature of the situation. The fiend's gaze is supernaturally intense... FORT DC 31. Fail and you're slowed 1. Crit fail and you're paralyzed.

    Zanderel brings some arcane back up. The dragon appear snad immediately begins attacking. It's fangs failing to find purchase unfortunately. Dragon is subject to the FORT as above.

    Chulyin's quick thinking helps protect civilians with a powerful wall of stone! Wolf is also close enough for the save.

    Orin's form takes on a strange motion. His movements blur like a streaking arrow, but he moves no faster than a normal dwarf...

    The Mad Hopper continues his stream of enhancements whilst throwing some bottled lightning at the injured fiend. Streaks of electricity continue to course over the fiend's body. The Mad Hopper is a little too close though. FORT DC DC 31. Fail and you're slowed 1. Crit fail and you're paralyzed.

    The injured fiend howls in rage! As if on cue the flour bags in the burning bakery catch, accelerating the destruction. Both fiends on on the attack as the square begins to burn! The center building begins to collapse! Each square engulfed in flames deals 4d8+4 fire damage to a creature that ends its turn adjacent to the fire, and 8d8+8 fire damage to a creature that passes through the flames (DC 32 basic Reflex save).

    The more injured fiend unleashes literal hell on Orin biting at his head:
    Bite: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (15) + 28 = 43 for DMG: 3d12 + 13 ⇒ (6, 10, 1) + 13 = 30 You are Enfeebled 3 for 24 hours. You can attempt a DC 33 Fortitude save to reduce this to enfeebled 1 (or be unaffected on a critical success).
    and again:
    Bite: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (10) + 24 = 34 MISS
    and AGAIN
    Bite: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (10) + 20 = 30 MISS

    With an infernal word the other translocates across the square. On arrival it picks up a fleeing farmer and rips him in half, hurling the halves at a crowd and laughing. 1 Civilian Casualty
