vs DC 30 Aishe looks down among the Paladin force and picks one of the most powerful leaders to survive. He looks for someone Abadarian if he can, but he doesn't take much time.

Smoking more than slightly, Aishe lays hands on himself (swift) to start the round.
It isn’t much, but it’s all he’s got at the moment. He opens fire on the remaining demon, if it somehow survived the onslaught by Atium. Otherwise, he aims his bow, with a quiver in his hands mind you, at the Whispering Tyrant! Thanks to Unshakeable Zeal (link) I have a +4 to all attacks that follow a miss for the round. (BoF)

Aishe has taken some damage in most fights, but nothing like this! He grits his teeth and tries to bear it.
vs DC 22 for 1 con damage (I assume 1 minimum) He survives this rounds onslaught, and promises to himself that it won’t be two rounds. He delays to see if Atium finishes pink with his fury.

Aishe realizes rest is not on the menu. He quickly casts flight upon himself and flies up 35’ (70’ fly move). That should put him out of the fog, but let me know.
Erga points towards the 1100 Soldiers. "We will take care of the Tyrant's forces. The plan is for you to deal directly with the Tyrant himself. How do you plan to do so without being killed in an instant." "We're gonna piss him off." Aishe nods to his allies, "We're really good at that."
Aishe, leaning in the doorway gnawing on a piece of crusty bread, looks back at the soldiers. "Relax. We got this. You, and us." He looks back into the room where the planning is taking place and wonders what horrors Vanyan is going to unleash on their enemies. A slew of elementals. Cool.
"Regroup? More to do I suppose..." he worries a little about those with more limited resources. Still, he wouldn't mind some additional arrows, and more salt for them. He hopes the regrouping includes purchases. He goes along with the group to see what can be done.

And after all, Atium and Vinas can certainly handle the Necrocraft. So he changes targets, and attacks the dragon instead.

"Ready." Aishe checks his crossbow and follows along with the others, hiding their tracks when he can so they cannot be followed.
Aishe replenishes his arrows from his pack, ”I’ll do another today.” He nods to Erga. As they get close to the troublesome problem, this time he’ll pop his graveyard shirt’s protection from evil ability so he’s better protected. So protected, he wades in.

Aishe replenishes the bolts in his quiver from his pack as the group heads back to camp to await their next target. He's happy they found the shard, but he knows what it'll mean in the end. His destruction too. Still, there are worse things than oblivion. An eternity of pain and torture for a start.

Aishe eyes the shadowed one. Assuming it to be incorporeal, he uses his ghost salted bolts, expensive but worth it in these situations. It overcomes incorporeality as per the ghost touch special ability. He also steps up 5'.

When the call comes that there's another task, he grabs his crossbow and heads out immediately. "I feel this is going to be a long day." He begins to think about how to conserve his abilities a bit to last.

He’s very pleased with his Inspired round. It’s the first time he’s reached out to Abadar in this way and, as with all things, He did not disappoint.

Aishe continues to focus fire on the monstrosity, hoping that Atium can get his right flank. He thanks Tessenarin for the haste with a nod. He takes but the briefest moments to pray to Abadar and be Inspired (link) He uses the extra move action to move up within close range for the extra bonus.

Aishe checks the action on his crossbow, weathered by time and use. He'll then look for a good line of sight, following behind Vinas and Atium no doubt.
Aishe first pays back Vanyan the 5,000gp he borrowed earlier. ”Thank you for the loan.” He’ll then pick up a few scrolls.
Finally, if he can do so without too much difficulty, he’ll improve his Cloak of Resistance (to +5 (+9,000gp)). If he can’t let me know. Inbound: 22,315gp, Outbound: 18,000gp, Remainder: 4,315gp Happy to loan out 4kgp if anyone wants/needs it or spend it toward haste. Better to spend it now as it may be our last time.
"Aye, there is much we could trade."
Aishe nods. He knows their purpose here, and it's not to make it out alive either. Good for the Pathfinders to make the same sacrifice. He studies the map and where they're supposed to go. He asks a few questions of some of the symbols on the map so he fully understands. He looks to the others to determine their readiness. "Camp here before we depart? Or go now?"
"You were a bit sick there. You got better. Don't worry about it. At least you didn't attack any of us." Aishe tries to take in any maps. Something with troop concentrations on it and the like. Not that he's ever been particularly good with maps. He's better with terrain. But any help will be appreciated if they're going into the thick of an army fight.
He peers at the map upside down and tries to wipe the look of confusion off his face.
"Do you have any healers? We've a curse to overcome." he glances side-eyed at the departing Atium.
Aishe feels a little out of place, and is a bit confused by the guard presence. He watches as Atium leaves the party, and wonders what can be done about it if anything.
Once Tessenarin and Atium are answered, Aishe stands, shrugs his shoulders, and says, "Let's go." He'll start walking through the portal.
Aishe, quite muddled in his own personal philosophy, is torn on what to do. He very nearly shrugs and walks through the portal, but he instead looks to Vinas, and decides he'll side with his ally and do as he does. It feels wrong to flatly kill those who have aided them. Still... the thread upon this alliance is a thin one, and Urgothoa could change her mind. In that event, these would be behind the group, and would likely attack as they depart. Frustrating. You can't trust evil.
"I don't believe you are lying, but you are the embodiment of much of what we fight. Why should we trust you at our backs?" he asks simply, still keyed up and ready for battle.
Aishe too remains where he is, but he also refrains from attacking for now. He doesn't trust them, but he's willing to listen.
Aishe, crossbow ready, follows Vinas. He checks the door for traps, and generally for tracks just as a habit.
Aishe, not a huge thinker, tries none the less to come up with a different oath. But he fails. He considers something with Atium, but he doesn't have the tools to fix him anyway, so he doubts he'd be able to fulfill such an oath. So he joins the others. "Ayep. I swear to destroy as many undead as deserve it, and I expect that's most all of them." He thinks a moment, "For Roslar's Coffer."
Aishe performs the ritual saying, ”In honor of the fallen town of Roslar's Coffer.” He looks up at the others shrugging, "They should be memorialized somewhere."
Aishe nods in thanks, happy he doesn't need to shoot the helpful ghost. He moves on to the Oathkeeper's Shrine after waiting.
"What's your work good dwarf. Maybe we have the same goal." Aishe suggests, though he keeps his crossbow handy.
Aishe quietly puts a ghost salted bolt in his weapon but he hopes the talkers can avoid this particular battle. He has no quarrel with these ghosts. He worries about Atium but can do nothing.
Aishe takes out some popcorn and starts chewing as Atium goes on his speechifying. When it comes to him, he smiles at the poor man, but says nothing.
