Kit says “If someone wants to leap through the flames, I do have a blessing that would reduce their effects. I need to be in reach of you to cast it.”

Giovana grins approvingly as Rowan the Whispering falters. “So close, Pathfinders. Now finish the job!”

Zarta Dralneen raises a ward to deflect an errant bolt of magic from a weakening Sotroz. “We’re almost there, darlings. You just need a little push...”
Table GMs, the Cracked Mirror condition is now in effect
Silence Broken is a suite of debuffs for Sotroz. Cracked Mirror is only relevant for tiers 1-4.
Jinglemane takes advantage of the fact that the wall of fire only makes creatures on the other side concealed rather than undetected to put a copy of himself next to Sotroz. The first bite lands, though the ghoul recovers in time to avoid the second.
The enemy lands a well-placed blow, and follows by sharing the pain of its dying moments with the Roark.
Void Damage:3d8 ⇒ (8, 4, 6) = 18 DC 24 basic Will save. If the creature critically fails the saving throw, it can’t speak for 1 round, including to Cast a Spell.
It then tries to add injury to injury (unless that drops Roark, in which case it strides adjacent to Don Jurri).

This should be applied after Roark’s Will save
Kit rushes into the center of the room and uses her last divine font to heal Roark.

When the dust clears, only the Pathfinders are left standing. The remaining undead fall to dust and the few surviving Dispatch agents drop their weapons in surrender as the Society’s victory is complete. Zarta Dralneen and Viore Ciobanu immediately busy themselves with recovering the somewhat unstable aiudara that was constructed here, while Eando Kline walks amongst the agents, giving reaffirming pats on the back and handshakes.
“Exceptional job, everyone. While this might not be the typical mission we undertake for the Pathfinder Society, you still handled it with grace. You should all be proud of yourselves today for what you’ve accomplished.”
Nearby, Red Mantis Assassin Giovana saunters through the opposing forces’ remains, sucking on a piece of alchemical candy and once again cleaning blood from her iconic sawtooth sabers. She pulls the sweet treat past her lips and gives Eando an almost sultry look while tossing him the still-bloody cloth. “You know, the Pathfinders aren’t half-bad in a fight. Maybe we’ll work together again in the future. Perhaps in... closer quarters?”
Eando’s face turns a shade of crimson for a moment as he catches the bloody rag. He then gives Giovana a knowing little smile through his beard as he uses the cloth to clean his own sword, before sending the Pathfinders back home.
I’d like to extend a giant thank you to all the GMs that ran this year’s Special, and all the players that came out to vanquish the dastardly Aspis Consortium. I hope everyone had fun and will make running and playing in our mutli-table specials a regular tradition. Thank you all!
It makes contact, inflicting both physical and metaphysical pain.

Kit gets out one of the many scrolls of healing she was given and uses it to heal Don Juri.

Could you please update Don Judi’s HP in your template on the next post. They didn’t change after my heal.

As Sotroz casts his spell, Jinglemane reacts.
↺ Reactive Lion’s Bite (Empowered Leiomano, PA or MW):1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 14 + 1 = 31 Bludgeoning / Slashing) damage:2d6 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 6) + 4 + 4 = 15 Add this number if Personal Antithesis:5 = 5
Will (E):1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
"I'm not dropping my teeth!" Jinglemane snarls. "Lion's Bite is a part of me!"
He roars, "BITE!"
◈ Striking Lion’s Bite (Empowered Leiomano, PA or MW):1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 14 + 1 = 35 CRIT! Bludgeoning / Slashing) damage:2d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 6) + 4 + 4 = 18 Add this number if Personal Antithesis:5 = 5 Fatal:1d10 ⇒ 5
His 'teeth' sink deep into the ghoul, bashing and shredding it!
That's 66 damage! If that takes Sotroz out, Jinglemane mirrors out of the Wall of Fire and moves up to Pink, which would cause the Jinglemane in the fire to turn into the reflection and shatter. Jinglemane's movement is shortened, so he could not get into flank with Roark..
If it doesn't take him out, the crushing rune makes Sotroz clumsy and enfeebled 1.
If Sotroz survived that...:
◈ Striking Lion’s Bite (Empowered Leiomano, PA or MW):1d20 + 14 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (1) + 14 + 1 - 5 = 11 Bludgeoning / Slashing) damage:2d6 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 6) + 4 + 4 = 18 Add this number if Personal Antithesis:5 = 5
◈ Striking Lion’s Bite (Empowered Leiomano, PA or MW):1d20 + 14 + 1 - 10 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 1 - 10 = 17 Bludgeoning / Slashing) damage:2d6 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 + 4 = 14 Add this number if Personal Antithesis:5 = 5
Ooh, lame! But after the start of that round, I don't care.
Jinglemane doesn't listen to Sotroz' command. In fact, that seems to enrage the poppet. He brings down Lion's Bite, which separates enough of the ghoul's flesh that you know he will not be getting back up.
Roark tosses a fireball at the mummy, who is looking quite singed.
Calling it here. The skeleton has 1 HP and the mummy is little better off. Technically Jinglemane needs to clear the persistent acid, but the number of rounds and amount of bad luck it would take to kill him with all your help is unimaginable.
The Pathfinders turn to preventing new undead from arising here. They must cleanse components kept by Sotroz in this area, including canopic jars with organs and severed heads of long-dead warriors. These must be ritually cleansed and quickly buried, requiring 10 minutes of work and for the team to attempt Hard Athletics, Diplomacy, Medicine, Performance, Religion, Society, or Survival checks. Three successes with the usual rules will do it.

Kit opens up some windows to get some fresh air flowing through the room, and then starts reciting prayers to Ranginori that the souls be released and allowed the freedom to return to the cycle. At first she has a little bit of trouble getting a proper breeze to flow.

The Pathfinders quiet the spirits of the undead that were about to rise anew.
With the hostages rescued and the leaders of the Red Mantis Dispatch defeated, the Pathfinder Society emerges victorious. Zarta Dralneen and Eando Kline gather the agents together one last time.
"C'mon Kit, Jinglemane! Once we finish cleanup here we can be off to the feather and fur spa I told ya about! I still have another two weeks worth so let's not waste it!"

After the battle and taking care of the necromantic jars, Kit turns to healing the injured starting with her own party. She still has scrolls to use up!
Hearing Roark’s shout, Kit looks over and says “I guess a spa will work better than the beach for Jinglemane. Does it matter that I have neither fur nor feathers?”
