Sorry for the posting delay - busy holiday weekend for me - and thanks for botting. Earlier: if finding the path through the rooms took longer than an hour then Bon Jon uses another charge of his wand of Mage Armor; if it took longer than 80 minutes he uses a point of ki to renew his Barkskin. Buffs activated from other party members (thanks!): Haste, Shield of Faith, Aid, Protection from evil, Blessing of Fervor (using for +2 on attacks, AC, and Reflex), Prayer. Noted from (botted) round 1: spent 1 ki (6 out of 9) for extra attack Bon Jon decides to take care of Cyan to prevent him from firing any more rays of fire. Swift action to spend 1 ki (7 out of 9) to activate Draconic Fury (round 1 of 4); 5' step; Flurry of Blows Unarmed Strike, aid, prayer, BoF: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32
HASTE Unarmed Strike, aid, prayer, BoF: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32
FLURRY Unarmed Strike, aid, prayer, BoF: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19
ITERATIVE Unarmed Strike, aid, prayer, BoF: 1d20 + 17 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 17 - 5 = 32

Bon Jon follows along with the others, saying his rosary in anticipation of whatever trouble may next await.

Bon Jon spends a bit of time flying around in circles before gathering himself together and renewing his Barkskin (80 minutes, spend 1 ki, 5 out of 9 used) and Mage Armor (1 hour). I recall how this puzzle works (this is a replay for me) so I'll refrain from commenting. Bon Jon will move along with the group as directed by the others.
Medium Male LG Suli Unchained Monk 8 | HP 68/68 | AC
Bon Jon retrieves a potion of Fly and drinks it.

Was Bon Jon not affected by Prayer? Maybe the web blocked it? I'll leave it out of my attacks below but just checking. The monk turns his attention to the Purple spider in front of him, pleased that it has chosen to remain on the ground and hopeful that his comrades can handle the others up in the air. Free action to maintain Draconic Fury (round 2 of 4)
Using Stunning Fist on first attack (4 of 8)
Punch vs Purple, Haste: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 1 = 25 +1 if Prayer
Punch vs Purple, Haste: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 1 = 21 +1 if Prayer
Punch vs Purple, Haste: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 = 11 +1 if Prayer
Medium Male LG Suli Unchained Monk 8 | HP 68/68 | AC
Hmm, just noticing that maybe Bon Jon had to make another check vs the web to move? If so, he'll do CMB (rather than Escape Artist) and use the one time +2 Str bonus that he got at the start of the scenario. CMB, bonus: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 16 + 2 = 23
Medium Male LG Suli Unchained Monk 8 | HP 68/68 | AC
Bon Jon once again resumes the stance of a Dragon and calls forth acid to flow from his fists. Free action to enter a style; swift action to spend 1 ki (4/9) to active Draconic Fury (round 1 of 4). Then he charges towards the Purple spider that is still on the ground. Dragon Style allows him to charge through difficult terrain and also through the squares of allies. Using Stunning Fist (3 of 8) on this attack
But the webbing messes up his timing and he nearly punches himself in the nose! With charge and haste, Bon Jon's AC is currently 26

GM, did Grunjar's 22 result not manage to get himself ungrappled?
Medium Male LG Suli Unchained Monk 8 | HP 68/68 | AC
Bon Jon trots along to the Tapestry with the others, still blushing a bit about Lady Vanessa's "prayer."
Medium Male LG Suli Unchained Monk 8 | HP 68/68 | AC
Bon Jon would have flown to 10' altitude, the same as what the drake was at. Bon Jon blows the smoke from his fist, pleased to see the stunned Drake plunge to the floor. Then he resumes battering the creature. Rules interpretation needed:
GM, Bon Jon wants to provide a flank for Rani and he is also hoping to flurry of blows. He's already adjacent to the creature and it is (presumably?) 10' high because of its size. There are a few options but all they depend on GM interpretation so I'll list them in order of preference: 1) Use Flying Kick Style Strike - this lets me move 20' as part of the flurry, which would allow Bon Jon to "leap" down to the ground to be adjacent to the Drake and flanking with Rani. I'm pretty sure this should work (I'd allow it!) but the only question is that it's described as a "leap" so I suppose someone could say you can't do it when you're already flying? 2) Alternatively Bon Jon could just 5' step downwards - he would be adjacent to the Drake and at 5' altitude, which I think? would still permit flanking. The only drawback of this is that it would require a Fly check to hover, which Bon Jon might fail (though chances would be good, +12 I think to get a DC 15). 3) Alternatively, Bon Jon could just stop flying and fall 10' to the ground. I think if he made an Acrobatics check he wouldn't take falling damage and be prone but I'm not sure if this would be a free action or require a move action? For the purposes of posting my turn, I'll assume that option 1 is allowed and I'll post a full flurry of attacks but if you don't think it works then please adjudicate as makes sense to you.
Hearing Lady Vanessa's prayer to Zon Kuthon, the monk feels a bit strange - he's pretty sure that this prayer was not customarily recited at his monastery. Nevertheless, Bon Jon leaps through the air, seemingly almost effortlessly, landing next to the Drake and across from Rani, and then the monk begins to pummel the stunned creature. Free action (from Combat Style Master) change from Draconic Style to Pummeling Style Free action: maintain Draconic Fury (acid) - round 2 of 4 Swift action: activate Elemental Assault (cold) - round 1 of 8 Flurry of Blows. Note: Pummeling Style: total all damage before applying damage reduction. Unarmed Strike, prayer, flank, vs prone AC: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 1 + 2 = 36
Unarmed Strike, prayer, flank, vs prone AC: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 1 + 2 = 30
Unarmed Strike, prayer, flank, vs prone AC: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 + 2 = 21
CRIT CONFIRM? Unarmed Strike, prayer, flank, vs prone AC: 1d20 + 13 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 13 + 1 + 2 = 35

"Many thanks! I feel as though a weight has lifted off my shoulders!" shouts the burly monk as he begins to rise into the air. GM, ok to keep my actions and die rolls posted above, but just using Grunjar's Fly spell to get me there?
Medium Male LG Suli Unchained Monk 8 | HP 68/68 | AC
Can’t I just move (including jump as part of the move) and the attack, with a 5’ fall at the end of the turn? If not allowed, as noted just draw potion and drink it. Still use swift to activate draconic fury.
Medium Male LG Suli Unchained Monk 8 | HP 68/68 | AC
Before the current combat, Bon Jon will ask one of his friends to use his wand of mage armor on him Another 1 hour duration; Barkskin should currently have 20 minutes remaining. Seeing a dragon in the air before them, Bon Jon too enters the stance of a dragon. Combat Style Master: free action to begin combat in a style; swift action: spend 1 ki (3/9) to activate Draconic Fury - round 1 of 4. GM, If the Dragon is 10 feet up, I think Bon Jon only needs to leap 5 feet in the air to be able to attack it? What follows presumes that's the case. If no, then disregard the below and Bon Jon will just pull out a potion of Fly and drink it. The speedy monk dashes forward and then leaps into the air, trying to punch the Dragon in the snout. Acrobatics to Jump up 5', DC 20 I think, speed bonus: 1d20 + 14 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 14 + 8 = 41 Acrobatics to avoid an AoO if the Dragon has reach vs Dragon CMD +10 (because moving at full speed): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23 Presuming this provokes (if the Dragon has 10' reach), Bon Jon's AC is 27 Using Stunning Fist (2/8)
After swinging at the monster, Bon Jon lands on the ground next to the beast.
Medium Male LG Suli Unchained Monk 8 | HP 68/68 | AC
Bon Jon follows along with the others, ready to deal with the Aspis and whatever threats may await. GM, how long has it been since the start of the initial fighting? Bon Jon will renew Mage Armor and Barkskin if needed.

Combat Style Master: begin combat in Dragon Style The monk calls forth elemental power into his limbs. Swift action to spend 1 ki (2/9 spent) to activate Draconic Fury Acid (round 1 of 4) Then Bon Jon darts through the now square of the now friendly Orange undead and attempts to tumble through Yellow's square. Acrobatics vs Yellow CMD+5: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29 Presuming that makes it, Bon Jon successfully moves through Yellow's square Acrobatics to avoid an AoO from Blue vs Blue CMD +2: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16 Presuming that fails, the movement will provoke from Blue. Bon Jon's current AC is 27 Then Bon Jon punches at the White Haired lady.
Medium Male LG Suli Unchained Monk 8 | HP 68/68 | AC
Bon Jon whispers in Rani's ear, "Hey, if you hit that orange one and then take a step back, I'll step up and see what I can do..."
Medium Male LG Suli Unchained Monk 8 | HP 68/68 | AC
As noted above, Bon Jon will wait to see if Lady Vanessa succeeds at commanding any of the undead, and if that makes it possible to move through their square(s) unhindered.
Medium Male LG Suli Unchained Monk 8 | HP 68/68 | AC
Bon Jon glares at the walking corpses blocking the way forward before turning to Lady Vanessa, "Hope you can command 'em to back up!" We've got a classic PFS logjam here. If Lady Vanessa can command Orange to backup when it attacks then hopefully we can get through and spread out the battlefield. When Bon Jon's turn comes around he'll wait to see if that's successful.
Medium Male LG Suli Unchained Monk 8 | HP 68/68 | AC
Bon Jon follows along with the others, well aware that he has done little to help so far, and determined to carry his weight. Sorry for the absence - will do better moving forward!
Medium Male LG Suli Unchained Monk 8 | HP 68/68 | AC
I'm so sorry for the long absence, everyone. Childcare and work responsibilities got the better of me. I'm back now and should be able to stay on top of things from here on out. My apologies!

Bon Jon will happily take a Lucky Number :-) Also always happy to have a Bit of Luck, if you happen to have enough actions to give it. Lucky Number: 1d20 ⇒ 3 I'll save this unless/until I roll a "3" on a save and then use it to reroll. Bon Jon also asks one of his comrades to use his wand of Mage Armor on him (1 hour duration) and he spends 1 ki to cast Barkskin on himself (80 minutes duration). He also slathers himself with Alchemical Grease (4 hours duration). "Right, let's get 'em! Whoever 'em are..." He stops short, as he realizes that the pathfinders are being asked to be personable, rather than hit things. "Er, um, I mean, what I meant to say is, well, you noble guests, if you wouldn't mind vacating the premises, we have things that need punching and it might be disagreeable for you..." Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 He sighs and recalls how Oratory class always just made him want to get back to the punching bag.

Rani, I know I've got some various race boons that I'll never use. If you're interested I can take a look and send you some. Will be a few days until I get home though.

Hearing Vanessa read the Tale of Zarta's 1001 Nights - ... or was it 1001 Knights!?! - nearly causes Bon Jon to faint and he hurries to listen to other, less salacious, stories. Alas for the poor monk - he soon finds that the gossips of the Grand Lodge have taken to speculating about the legitimacy of old Venture Captain Rosenthal's progeny - I had no idea pathfinders could talk like *that*... - the poor monk blushes beet red and scurries in the direction of the drinks table, hoping that perhaps a cup of nettle tea or a glass of tallgrass juice will help calm his nerves.
Medium Male LG Suli Unchained Monk 8 | HP 68/68 | AC
Bon Jon dutifully heads off in search of snacks for the group, shaking his head with bemusement. These pathfinders, they sure aren't much like the monks back at the monastery... He comes back with several platters of snake snacks just in time to peruse the pamphlets about all of the contests. He quickly signs up for the Weight Lifting challenge - It'll be just like when the cook would see how many bowls of monkmash I could carry in one go... and the Obstacle Course - Reminds me of sneaking past the preceptor to beat curfew after a night of going into "town"... Weight Lifting, str check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 Obstacle course, acrobatics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31

Wouldn't you know that I had to clean the incense burners this time and I'm sure you can imagine how long that takes! Anyway, what're we up to this time? Oh, a party?!? How lovely - not much of that sort of thing around the monastery, as I'm sure you can imagine - I don't suppose there are any snacks left?"

Added myself. Bon Jon is up to level 8 but I need to update him. Also, fyi, this is a replay for me (though I don't really remember anything about the plotline) but I played it at a different tier.

Looks good - thanks again for running GM - much fun!
Medium Male LG Suli Unchained Monk 8 | HP 68/68 | AC
Instead of downtime, Bon Jon will attempt to check a faction journal card goal by skulking about Absalom putting up "revolutionary" posters with various slogans from his master written upon them. Stealth DC 22: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19 The citizens of Absalom are, seemingly, unmoved.

Thanks for running, GM! What an interesting scenario - the plane of dreams was very different from anything else I've experienced in a pfs scenario. Bon Jon will take the bracers of sworn vengeance for his chronicle unlock.

Bon Jon is relieved to see the feargaunt dissipate before his eyes and nods in acknowledgment to his comrades. "Master always said, 'Before frying the cucumbers, taste the pickles.'" He remains silent during the dialogue with Aslynn, appearing to meditate but really just checking his reflection in one of the mirrors to be sure that the damage to his jawline is not *too* grave. When the group returns to the bosom of Kreighton Shaine, he again remains mainly quiet, simply nodding along as the others fill in the master of scrolls on what they had learned in the land of dreams and occasionally murmuring, "Aye, as master always says, 'there y'go, there y'go...'".

After gratefully receiving Daratar's shadowform spell, Bon Jon decides that Elby's idea is a good one and he attempts likewise. Cha DC 14, shaken: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 2 = 20 Standard action to cast ghost touch as an impossible action (used 2 of 4 possible) One of his fists glows with magical force. Then he rushes up the stairs and past the feargaunt, hoping that having already attacked Elby it will not be able to attack him. Move action to move 60' (haste) which will provoke an AoO if the creature has one available. Draconic Fury: round 2 of 3

Unsure what has befallen him, Bon Jon trying to batter the insubstantial Blue shade. Swift action to spend 1 ki to activate Draconic Fury for 3 rounds Unarmed Strike, heroism, haste, shaken: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
Unarmed Strike, heroism, haste, shaken: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

I assume that Bon Jon is shaken but not running away? Seeing the two nightmarish sisters closing in on him, Bon Jon feels uncharacteristically anxious. "Um, hey, no touching. I'm a monk!"

Bon Jon is alarmed to see these monstrosities appear and leaps into action, charging at Blue. Combat Style Master: free to start combat in a style - begin in Dragon Style. Swift action: activate Elemental Assault (acid) Unarmed Strike, charge, heroism: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 2 = 26

If it would have mattered with the additional phases of mirror research, Bon Jon auto-aided with Perception (+12) Bon Jon replies to Mun rather cryptically. "As master always said, 'cold potato soup, cold potato soup.'" When the vision of 322's torment appears, Bon Jon shakes his head disapprovingly. "Not nice, not at all."
Medium Male LG Suli Unchained Monk 8 | HP 68/68 | AC
Bon Jon eyes the mirror with a troubled expression on his face before turning to Mun, "Yes, ahem, ah Mun, perhaps it would be best if you don't start a bunch of stones flying around your head. Or develop a fondness for blood sacrifice, for that matter. I don't see it working out well. As master always said, 'Sneeze if you must, but wash your hanky afterwards.'"
