Narkru focuses on the steps before walking up the ramp and on the stage, ending up behind the organ. "Excuse me, could you please stop the performance for just one moment?

◆ Sustain Stepping Stones

◆ Stride, ending up on stand right behind the faux doctor.

Khaul stalks the last giant, working his way eastward. Shield raised to allow Myrsa to see, he directs a heft blow into the knee of the last zombie.

Are we trying to keep the good doctor alive?

Tiger runs up the ramp and ends up beside the 'good' Doctor.

Tiger unleashes his 'claws' on the organ player.

Flashing Spark: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20 for Slashing Damage: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 7) + 3 = 11 plus Vitality: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4 plus 1d6 Persistent Vitality Damage

If we're to keep him alive, just apply the damage non-lethal; no penalty for monks

◆◆ Stride
◆ Strike

Shen runs up the ramp to get next to the Doctor.

"Doctor, give it up. Your creations are destroyed, you are outnumbered, you have lost. Don't make this harder than it has to be."

Shen then unleashes a Flurry of non-lethal blows on the good Doctor.

Flurry 1 Wolf Stance Strike (Piercing, Agile, Nonlethal, Trip, plus Vitality ): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 332d8 + 6 + 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 + (2, 2) = 17

((Crushing Rune - on crit, target is clumsy and enfeebled 1 until end of Shen's next turn))
((Brawling - on crit, target must make a fortitude save or be slowed 1 until end of Shen's next turn))

◆◆ Stride
◆ Flurry of Blows

Tiger, I'm going to use your attack rolls from up above, since you're making the same types of Strikes.

Tiger makes two strikes at the Doctor, and the first hits. The vitality sizzles at his undead flesh, but does no extra damage. Vulnerable to vitality, but no weakness.

Shen runs up and makes two good Strikes.

Lioness gets close enough to get a good look at the Maestro and aims the brain on the end of his staff at him, projecting some of its stored energy in a mental blast.

Mental: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4

Persistent Mental: 1d4 ⇒ 2

DC21 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.

Will: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33 vs DC 21
Sorry, Lioness, Will is his best save.

The Doctor laughs off the mental damage, and blasts a C-sharp minor ninth diminished chord, while depressing the C-natural key on the foot pedals. Everyone in the red-shaded area is affected. The discordant blast shakes Bone Bearer, Tiger, and Narkru to the core.

Sonic: 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (4, 1) + 9 = 14
DC 24 basic Fortitude save

The blast is so powerful it pushes Narkru, Tiger, and Bone Bearer out of the blast zone. 15' forced movement.

Then, the Doctor casts a spell at Shen.
DC 29 Will save, and please decide if you want to Hero Point it before you open the spoilers.

Vitality: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Recovery: 1d20 ⇒ 10 vs DC 15

Fort, S=CS: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (12) + 17 = 29

Stone and dirt are not a good amplifier of sound. Narkru stomps back to where she was, keeps the bridge up and goes to get the figure on the organ. "Please stop that."

◆ Stride back to the spot.
◆ Sustain Stepping Stones.
◆ Grab at the doctor.

Khaul puffs along the floor. Then he puffs up the stairs. Then be puffs along the stage.

"How'd yer all git up there so fast?" he further puffs.

No, the movement and the damage are separate.

Narkru moves back and grabs the Doctor. Regular Success, not a Crit Success. Raph takes most of Narkru's damage.

Khaul hustles up.

"This has to end!" Raph joins them at the stage, going behind Tiger.

"Plug those pipes!" he suggests, remembering what Iloise told them. "That's what Iloise told us!" he tells Docrot Velshun, as if telling him her betrayal.

2. The organ can be disabled like a hazard. DC 28 Thievery (expert) to stopper the pipes. Once four pipes have been stoppered, the organ ceases to function.

He then lashes the last enemy with vitality.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24 vs DC 26

The doctor looks bloodied.

"We took the shortcut," Lioness explains to Khaul then Strides off the shortcut so that Narkru doesn't have to sustain it.

Meanwhile, Bone Bearer scurries next to the Maestro of Mayhem and Lioness tries to Shroud his head in the darkness of Night before putting up a protective Shield of energy around himself.

DC21 Will Save on Failure The target is shrouded in murky darkness. It treats bright light as dim light, and unless it has greater darkvision, all creatures are concealed to it.

DC21 Will Save

I can't access Google Slides right now, so I'll update later, but I do want to point out that Doctor Velshun's Will save is +19, and even a nat 2 would Succeed. I'll shrug and roll, anyway, when I have the chance, but I did want to give you a few hours to change your mind.

Sorry, as the lowest level character against a high CR boss, you're going to be frustrated by this last fight.

Tiger moves up, misses twice, and then backs off.

Will: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (17) + 19 = 36 vs DC 21

The Doctor shurgs off Lioness's spell.

Shen looks confused, and side-eyes Bone Bearer, Tiger, the Doctor, and the Organ. 1d4 ⇒ 2 He whirls around and punches Tiger!

Tiger, although surprised, dodges everything.

Shen remains confused.

The Doctor cackles maniacally, jamming another discordant blast on the keyboard.

Sonic: 2d8 + 9 ⇒ (2, 4) + 9 = 15
DC 24 basic Fortitude save from Lioness, Tiger, Bone Bearer, and Narkru. Tiger and Narkru, note that this damage is not subject to life link, because Raph has already used his 1/round for it.

Then, he raises his conductor's baton and taps Shen lightly.

Bone Bearer manages to avoid the worst of the blast and finally decides that discretion is a good idea, fleeing to a safe distance away from the Maestro of Mayhem.

Lioness takes the brunt but it could have been worse. He decides to stop being fancy and just hurls some debris at the Doctor.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12
Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 1) = 11

He then moves so that he's not in a direct line with his fellow Pathfinders, not least of which because he's contemplating shooting some Grim Tendrils at their opponent.

Tiger runs up and whiffs twice. Narkru pulls the Doctor off of the organ seat, and then grabs onto him. Khaul, I'm moving your icon 5' northward since you're in the spot Narkru pulled the Doctor into.

Khaul smashes the grabbed Doctor, and Raph casts a spell.

Shen is no longer confused.

"UNHAND ME, MA'AM!"

The Doctor wants to wriggle out, but decides for a more direct approach, and casts a spell.

Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 18 vs DC 5

He clasps a hand on Narkru's wrist, and she feels life draining from her as Doctor Velshun feasts on her like a vampire. DC 29 basic Fortitude save, please.

The Doctor lays a hand on Narkru and all he manages to drain is disappointment.

Narkru has Mastery in Fortitude saves, so successes become crit successes

As the baton hits, sand from her earthen form crusts off and clings to his body.

↺ Calcifying Sand - Resist Physical 7 on that attack and DC 25 Fort save.

Your flesh gives way as you're struck, becoming coarse sand that can magically turn your enemy to stone. You gain resistance equal to your level to physical damage from the triggering attack. The attacking creature must attempt a Fortitude save against your class DC. Regardless of the result, that creature can't Trigger Calcifying Sand again for 1 hour.

Success: The creature is unaffected.
Failure: The creature is slowed 1 until the end of its next turn.
Critical Failure: The creature is petrified until the end of its next turn.

"You are a fake doctor and we are here to revoke your false license." Narkru tries to keep a hand on the doctor while he squirms.

◆◆ Vitality Lash, DC 26 basic Fortitude save vs 5d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 1, 6) = 18 vitality damage (and Enfeebled 1 for 1 rd on Crit Fail) vs Doctor Velshun

He also points at Shen, healing with vitality. His curse worsens though. Cursebound 2
◆ Nudge the Scales – You restore Hit Points equal to 2 + double your level [8] to one creature within 30 feet.
Cursebound: Magical effects that restore HP to you take a status penalty equal to your level [8] times your cursebound value to the number of HP you recover.

As his projectile flies wide, Lioness says something in his native tongue of Mwangi. The details are unknown but angry cursing sounds the same in most languages.

Taking a deep breath, he tries again.

Telekinetic Projectile: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 1 = 30
Bludgeoning Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 2) = 11

That one was much more accurate and he is almost smug as he wraps himself in SHIELDing occult energy again.

Narkru grabs the Doctor, and Khaul, Tiger, Raph, and Lioness all simultaneously hit him with their attacks. It is impossible to know who dealt the final blow.

--Combat over!

In addition to the items that Doctor Velshun is carrying, the pipe organ’s valuable ivory keys and smaller pipes can be dismantled and sold for their precious materials. These valuables represent 1 Treasure Bundle.

Once the Pathfinders have cleared the keep and proceed down the stairs from Doctor Velshun’s hall, they discover a small basement chamber with a few broken pieces of glass bottles.

A thorough search of the area reveals a secret door that leads into a massive library, filled with row upon row of ancient books. The library contains 30 Bulk worth of books in total. However, these texts are over 3,000 years old, so fragile that they are constantly on the verge of crumbling into dust.

Because the heroes previously succeeded at fixing the keep from the threat of water damage, the books are safe, and the Pathfinders can leave them in the library until agents from the Grand Archive arrive. There would otherwise be a series of skill checks to move the books without damaging them, and you'd have to manage splitting 30 Bulk of books between you.

Once the Pathfinders have cleared the keep and salvaged as much of the library as they can, they have an opportunity to send in a report of their findings. The local farmers hold a celebration at the destruction of the evil occupying the keep, giving the Pathfinders a welcome opportunity to celebrate and rest.

A few days later, Gorm Greathammer arrives with a team of Ustalavan guards and Pathfinder scribes, eager to catalog the trove of knowledge found in the depths of the keep. As a reward for the Pathfinders’ efforts, Gorm gifts each PC with a bi-resonant wayfinder, stating that they’ve earned something a little fancier to grace their pockets. This is worth 1 Treasure Bundle, which, if you've counted correctly, is an 11th Treasure Bundle and a typo. You'll receive 10.

--End of scenario! Feel free to close out however you'd like with roleplay, and as always, I will be around, so if you have questions about the plot or anything, I'm happy to answer to the best of my ability.

Narkru would assist with the Grand Archive's arrival. After they carefully preserved each book, they assemble a large crate which Narkru lifts with relative ease.

Large PCs can lift 1 bulk as if it were L bulk. With activating the lifting belt, Narkru can carry up to 32 bulk of normal sized items before becoming encumbered.

"What a strange place! And a strange man."

Lioness is definitely happy to get out of the creepy and dangerous place.

"I think the good doctor's assistant was as dangerous as he was," he comments, contemplating the fact that a properly trained alchemist remains one of the most dangerous foes anyone can face.

"Those giant zombies certainly packed a punch though." notes Khaul.

"And to have them dancing like that.." he shakes his head.

"Wrong, it's be just wrong. But think what he might have achieved if his heart be not so corrupted."
