Does Luisila still have channels available? I'm not sure I'd like to have Amaranti charging into the enemy ranks, wounded... Especially since I think the "ghostly" in those crusaders means I'm not doing quite as much damage with the lance as I'd like :)

So the prevailing lighting is normal darkness. Daylight and Deeper darkness nullify each other. Would a lesser light spell, or nonmagical light source work in the overlapping area?

Amaranti, now the bringer of light, commands his eidolon to fly closer. He cannot see much himself, so he must trust Kaisarga's sight to survey the battlefield.
While the winged worm soars the dark skies, the Garundi summoner protects himself with invisibility.

Did anyone roll well enough to know the bodak has a gaze attack? "Averting eyes" would give 50% chance to avoid the gaze, and I think the concealment would only apply when attacking the bodak

I think the icy prisoned devourer block the line of sight to the bodak, since it also the ice blocks line of effect to the target? So Amaranti cannot charge it, but at the same time it blocks the gaze attack?
The biggest enemy thing is now trapped inside a block of ice, so Amaranti thinks its best to leave it there for a moment. The small ones are not quite as impressive targets, but Amaranti still orders his eidolon to charge the closest yellow ragewight.

"Ugly undead things! They must die!"
Boastful as Amaranti may be, he has enough common sense to not charge in alone and be surrounded by the enemies. Instead, he casts Haste on his allies, and then guides Kaisharga to take flight.
Haste on everyone, except Holly who is too far away from the others

"Stupid orcs, hide in shadows. But Amaranti know how darkness go away! Kaisharga, stay close!"
While the eidolon slows down and circles above the battlefield, Amaranti takes a small vial containing Oil of Daylight, and pours the contents on his lance. The invisible weapon starts glowing in bright light, flooding over the magical darkness.
Daylight has 60ft radius, so it should cover the darkness in the ground even if Amaranti is flying at 30ft. And also, in my understanding, Daylight works even if Amaranti himself is invisible (if not, he could have poured the oil on Kaisharga's amulet

From blessings of fervor: +30ft speed for Kaisharga, extend spell for Amaranti
Having already been killed by much smaller cats, Amaranti feels he'd rather avoid this huge beast. Amaranti guides his eidolon to take flight and soar far above the battlefield, and from this elevated position, charge down on unsuspecting foes.
While Kaisharga is flying upwards, Amaranti casts extended improved invisibility on himself.
I wasn't sure if ascending flying charge would work, and how it would work, so I decided to postpone lancework for a bit

Amaranti decides not to disturb Kaisharga's eating, so he concentrates his attack on the blue Gorthek. This is not optimal use of a lance, without the mounts momentum. But magic from his companions makes him unnaturally fast, and his own brute strength is enough to use the weapon with deadly force.

Beasts, orcs! Finally, good enemies! Excitement washing over him, Amaranti orders Kaisharga to move forwards. The eidolon beats its wings to accelerate its massive bulk into charging speed. Preparing for impact, Amaranti secures his hold of his lance and rams it into the hapless orc chieftain.

Yeah, I think Amaranti can handle the temporary negative level.
I'm not sure how high bonuses Giovanni could get for unarmed CMB, and if he should be the one to attempt the roll. But Kaisharga's attempt is on gameplay, if we want to roll with it.

"Kaisharga no need weapon. It can fight Kardook." Amaranti boasts, but looks toward Giovanni if the man would like the honors of beating the orc.
If Kaisharga fights:
Amaranti casts couple of spells on Kaisharga, before sending it to wrestle Kardook out of the ring. Cast enlarge person (via share spells), bull's strength Kaisharga CMB, grapple:1d20 + 24 ⇒ (6) + 24 = 30

"Thank you! Lion hit hard. For moment, Amaranti think he walk in garden of Pharasma. Feel weak now, hope strength come back."
I'll need to check my chronicles if there's anything offering restoration. Otherwise, I'll just need to deal with the penalties. I hope Kaisharga eventually reappeared?

Or, as it turned out, get killed by the monsters...

BTW, I'm not sure if there any official guidelines for it, but on our local games the basic ruling is that monsters don't hit dying(=hp below 0) characters. I see none of the lions' attacks put Amaranti from standing to death, so would the lion have attacked someone else with its last attack?
But, as I said, I'm not sure if this is just an unwritten rule with local GM's...

"NO! WHERE KAISHARGA!?"
Confused, but managing to land on his feet, Amaranti takes a step back to keep attacking. Without his mount, the lance will not be so effective, but he'll just has to rely on his brute strength to kill a lion.

Duh, I'm not sure if's ever been FAQ'd what happens to eidolon in anti-magic field. Blinks out, I guess... But if it's the pink one where the field comes from, then at least I can complete the charge without wondering what happens when mount disappears mid-charge :)
"Kaisharga, CHAAAAAARGE!" Amaranti bellows, and spurs his mount into a devastating... slither. This time, the enemy looks disappointedly small. But then again, they seem to be able to do some nasty tricks.

I just added the buff from Amaranti's post to the box in the map. It has not yet come up, but Kaisharga has combat reflexes, and its bite has grab ability. It and Amaranti have reach, and Paired Opportunists (so +4 on AoO's if they both threaten.)

Amaranti is riding Kaisharga, so I grouped the tokens. Is Luisila's position on the map after her delay? In other words, did Amaranti have a charge line to the enemy? Also, if the room is a least 15' high, A+K can fly over Luisila.
"Look like tin can. Need punch hard, to make hurt!"
Amaranti grabs his lance with both hands, preparing to put his bulk behind it. Then a voiceless command to Kaisharga, and the pair starts moving. The eidolon sprouts two pairs of leathery wings, resembling those of a dragonfly (albeit a big one). With a ear-splitting buzz, the enormous creature takes flight.
Option #1: Amaranti can charge:
Laughing like mad, Amaranti spurs Kaisharga into a charge. The two of them rush through the air, and Amaranti drives his lance through his enemy, aiming at whatever could work as a heart.
Lance, charge, PA, GH:1d20 + 15 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 15 + 2 + 2 = 23vs. grappling, prone damage, charge, PA, GH:3d8 + 66 + 6 ⇒ (4, 6, 5) + 66 + 6 = 87not adamantine
Option #2: No charge line:
Remembering metal creatures from before, Amaranti knows he'll need to charge if he wants to make any damage. He commands Kaisharga to move into better position, while he casts a spell to help all of the party.
Cast haste on Amaranti, Kaisharga, Holly day, Giovanni, and Fandral

"It talk big." Amaranti shrugs, and pats gently Kaisharga's sandy skin. "It behave. Just talk big."
For a while, Amaranti looks thoughtful. The women's talk about the details of the creature type leaves him wondering about what did Kaisharga exactly say it was. But, it looks like a worm, so it must be a worm. Just a big one.
"Now, who want ride?" he asks innocently, pointing at the saddle at the creature's back.

Amaranti looks puzzled at Giovanni. The only thing in his hand is a freshly filled mug of ale, and he is not particularly worried about it. Nonetheless, he salutes Giovanni, and shakes the man's hand with an iron grip.
"Is worm." Amaranti confirms Luisila's and Holly Day's inquiries. Pleased to the target of two attractive ladies interest, Amaranti would like to tell them more of his bound mount. But Kaisharga is hard to explain, so best for others to see with their own eyes.
"You want see Kaisharga, worm of Amaranti? I call. You see."
And before anyone has time to object, Amaranti starts chanting in strange voice, and a glowing glyph appears on his forehead.

"I Amaranti." a gigantic Garundi man joins into the round of introductions. His voice booms loud, and his size makes it hard for him to stay unnoticed. "I no collect names. Amaranti enough," he adds, having heard the long introductions of some of those present.
Amaranti wears his customary chain shirt, leaving his arms bare. This allows him to retain some mobility, and perhaps also gives him the opportunity to show off his well-built biceps. Amaranti raises a mug of ale to his lips, and empties it with one large gulp. A satisfying sigh is followed by a belch, and the Garundi motions the waitress to bring him another.

Hello all!
It's been a while since I've played with Amaranti, so I'll need to double-check the stats are correct in profile.
So, Amaranti is a chained summoner. He rides his serpentine eidolon, and tries to get a lance-charge (which doesn't happen too often...) Unfortunately, he is the exact opposite of a skill monkey...

I lost an extra PP because of a random dice roll?
Heh, I think this is how it used to be in the old days of faction missions. You got one chance to roll some obscure skill - and if you fail, there goes 1 PP. (OK, I only joined in season 5, so I don't really know. Sometimes we've done the factions missions just for the lulz)
I don't know... Maybe knowledge monkeys will get more of this, since they get to shine here. But usually there's only one character with knowledges (like Drongo's) so getting everyone to roll for skills they're unlikely to have is a bit meh...
Anyway, it would be nice to hear from someone who's played this on live table. Perhaps this works better in non-PBP. At least the average rating is quite much higher than our experience feels. I've played worse scenarios, so I'm not overly negative about it. Just the ending left me a bit cold.

@All I'm sad the story of Drongo's ends here, and I really, really hope it's only temporary. Let's have a small break, and see how it goes from there. And in any case, I still want to keep playing PFS. Let's work something out...
-
I wonder if it really matters what item I choose... I still have to purchase it from the chronicle, right? And I think Amaranti has enough fame to get pretty much any of the items anyway. So I'll pick manual of gainful exercise, just so Amaranti can get Lort signing it :)

@GM Thanks for running! I enjoyed the game. I'm sorry you had to witness the disbanding of this group.

”You no give lantern?” Amaranti asks, slightly unsure if thing will turn out in violence or not. ”We no need take lantern. We need know how get back soul of Aram Zey. Aslynn use lantern for this, and we go back. Yes?”
Amaranti has had quite enough of crazy women in this strange world. Sooner he’s back in Absalom the better.

I am sad to hear your decision to leave, Lort. And same goes to Cyrus, should you also decide leaving PFS behind.
I can sure relate, but perhaps for different reasons. Past few weeks I've been really exhausted, feeling almost burnout for PBP. But perhaps that's just having too many games going on, and too busy on real life. I have no particular complaints on season 7. It's just irony that were running two scenario with very similar things goings on. And this one maybe not the best fit for PBP.
I'm with John and Jack in hoping you'll get your interest back, and return to Drongos. I'd love to have Amaranti "retiring" with you lot :) (even with the slight disgust for high tier games)

The fight having turned into chasing ghosts, Amaranti already lost his thirst for battle. But luckily it is his eidolon that keeps directing the duo this time. So the Garundi can just enjoy the ride, and marvel at the unique scenery of the dreamscape. But of course, as they approach the last ghostly woman, Amaranti's mind focuses back on the things that matter. And the flight feels almost like slow-motion, wading through the oddly colored air. This feeling, together with sharpening senses give the summoner ample time to aim his weapon just where it needs to go. Both hands tight in the haft of the lance, he guides the tips straight into the woman's heart. Or the place the heart would be, were she a creature of flesh and blood...

"They go hide again!" Amaranti cries out in frustration as the creature slips away again. At least Ibid was able to deal some serious damage on the incorporeals. Since Kaisharga made the decision already for him, and slowly swoops near the rock surface, Amaranti also prepares to strike out with his lance in case the creature re-emerges.
Ready action: strike if the enemy comes out from the rock

"Ha, there! Fly, Kaisharga! Let you and me kill one ghost woman!"
The incorporeal creatures slide out from their hiding places, and Amaranti has a target once again. A command to his eidolon send them both flying towards the enemy. Kaisharga is too weary from the planar travel to create the necessary speed for Amaranti to use his weapon as intended. But all the same, the pair glide upwards and spring their attack in unison.

You guys make it sound like it doesn't involve crawling from pub to pub and consuming unhealthy amount of alcohol.

With no enemies in sight, Gunari's suggestion is sound. So Amaranti guides his eidolon to fly above the warpriest. With this sudden calm in the battle, the Garundi has time to plan for his next action. The way Lort conjured a magic weapon from the dreams was quite awesome. But he would need some defence against the ghost women's attacks as well. To focus on offence or defence - that is the question.
@GM: The dream ability is a bit vague, so can it be used to gain the effect of Elixir of Spirit Sight? Without actually conjuring and then drinking the item. So in effect just using one standard actions instead of two
If yes:

So Amaranti made the save and didn't take any ability damage?
Amaranti grits teeth and tries to bear the pain from the woman-shades. Wounds seem to dig deeper than flesh - all the way into his soul. But the Garundi is still here, and ready to fight.
Lort's suggestion sounds good. Amaranti can cast a spell, and wait to see what the others learn of these creatures.
"HASTE!" the Garundi bellows, and invokes the magic to speed them all up.
Affecting everyone,Assuming Amaranti cast it before Lort moved.
