Lesson #1: Whenever you make a magical trap, cast magic aura on it. People get suspicious when your door has a magic aura on it.

"Very well, I may not control mighty forces with the snap of my fingers, but I haven't found a trap in ages that could confound me. Plus, I do have a way with magic writing. It really is just another language."

"See that wasn't so difficult. I hope you find whoever is responsible for making this foul deal."

"This man is not being completely forward about his motives. It makes me question if he is really as concerned with his school as he claims."

"Your reason makes no sense. The fact that outsiders won the competition their very first attempt after your students failed for so long and then they had to help rescue your students from an invasion by devils would only make them look more inept, not less, would it not? If you are not going to be completely honest, at least make it sound logical. Or you can just come clean with us. I'm not interested in justice, just truth and knowledge, you already have a scandal on your hands that will take many years to repair."

"The real question is why did you decide to take over running the contest this year? Was it not normally the Dean of Abjuration who invited the participants and oversaw the festival?"

"So, which is it?"

Using studied target on the Headmaster

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 25 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 25 + 3 = 40

"I don't know. I've never tried to kill my kin. Then again I grew up as an orphan, so I'm not even sure who my kin are."

Chak opens his eyes as Balik is finishing his prayer.

"Such a lovely prayer Balik. But we have no time to mourn the dead now," the Tengu says with a pained cough. "There is still work to do."

Yes, but Chak will begin to stir in another minute due to life once again due to his Emperyal Revenant boon.

Claw: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19 Damage: 1d3 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19 Miss: 1d100 ⇒ 44

Bite: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24 Damage: 1d3 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20 Miss: 1d100 ⇒ 7

Not having a weapon in hand, Chak studies and then claws and bites at the hound within reach.

All bonuses and penalties included (studied target, power attack, prone, heroism)
claw: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (16) + 16 = 32 damage: 1d3 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20
claw: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29 damage: 1d3 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19
bite: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19 damage: 1d3 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20

If attacked by one of the hounds and still conscious, Chak will activate his spell-storing armor to unleash the frigid touch spell within when damaged.

Also, Chak pointed out his reflex was not up to date in the macros, so he saved for 1/2 evades.

It will take 3 rounds to do this but this is what I got.

Round 1: Chak moves next to the devil. Drawing his sword and dropping his bow.

Round 2: Retrieve an oil of bless weapon and apply it to my blade.

Round 3: Coup de grace the devil if still unconscious, full attack if possible, if not.

Chak draws his longbow as he moves and fires a single shot.

+1 Adaptive Composite Longbow: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (17) + 22 = 39 Damage: 1d8 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Chak steps behind Balik and a scroll shoots into his hand from its sheath. He touches the fallen archer reinvigorating her.

Breath of Life: 5d8 + 9 ⇒ (1, 2, 6, 7, 4) + 9 = 29

Molly is stable but unconscious.

Molly would be at 4 hp, but since the spell brought her back to life she gains a negative level and thus loses 5 hp, putting her at -1.

Chak will take his move action to renew the studied target bonus he's granting to Balik and Emberwik. Molly will lose it since she is still unconscious and cannot see or hear Chak.

Chak steps back and uses a scroll of shield.

Chak steps back, pulls out a scroll and reads it.

Haste on everyone.

Chak has evasion.

Chak steps over to Molly and reads the scroll. He touches Molly who disappears from sight.

greater invisibility; 7 rounds

Chak then beings imparting some of his studied knowledge to his allies.

Vanguard’s Bond (Ex): At 4th level, a vanguard forms a bond with his fighting companions. As a move action, he can choose one of his current studied targets and grant half his studied target bonus against that target to all allies within 30 feet who can see or hear him. This bonus lasts for a number of rounds equal to the slayer’s Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). This bonus does not stack with any favored enemy or studied target bonuses possessed by his allies; they use whichever bonus is higher.

+1 bonus for 3 rounds.

Chak studies the devil and pulls out a scroll.

Would I take falling damage? I only fell 5 feet?

Fly: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

+Confirm: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23 Damage: 1d10 + 25 ⇒ (5) + 25 = 30

Chak flies up under the devil and slashes at him. But he is unable to maintain his flight and ends up on the ground.

Hm.. I never noticed that. I guess I will use my scroll of fly then.

Chak reads a scroll and touches Molly, before stepping in front of her.

infernal healing. In case you go down, this should keep you from bleeding out.

Chak studies purple and tries to finish him off.

Confirm 2nd: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31 Damage: 1d10 + 25 ⇒ (3) + 25 = 28

Chak studies and then starts slicing into blue. If blue drops, he'll step between Emberwick and Molly and attack purple with any remaining strikes. (Attack and damage against purple will be 3 less as he doesn't have the ability to study red this round.)

+1 Keen Adamantine Nodachi: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (5) + 21 = 26 Damage: 1d10 + 25 ⇒ (1) + 25 = 26

confirm (attack 3): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15 Damage: 1d10 + 25 ⇒ (8) + 25 = 33

Chak studies the green devil then steps up to attack it.

+1 Keen Adamantine Nodachi: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (19) + 21 = 40 Damage: 1d10 + 25 ⇒ (9) + 25 = 34

Confirm: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (13) + 21 = 34 Damage: 1d10 + 25 ⇒ (4) + 25 = 29

I'm still not sure how Balik has a flat-footed AC of 18. A monk doesn't lose his monk bonus to AC when flat-footed. It seems like Balik should not have been down as some of those flat-footed attacks should have missed. I guess it's probably too late to fix it now, but Balik should fix his AC for the future. Although, I'm not sure we can actually save him unless Emberwik has ranged healing abilities.

Chak steps back from the devil near the gap in the wall, he pulls out a scroll and reads it. A few of the devils become visible.

Invisibility purge: Invisible creatures within 25 feet of Chak become visible.

Chak then studies gray.

Chak steps over one of the fallen and tries to hack a hole in the wall for Molly to fire through.

+1 Keen Adamantine Nodachi: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24 Damage: 1d10 + 22 ⇒ (7) + 22 = 29

Attempt to read? In case you are attacked when reading?

yes, could have been one near me that got an AoO.

Chak will attempt to read his scroll of see invisibility.

Chak will use a scroll of infernal healing.

So why all the 90 degree turns instead of descending at an angle? Fly forward 30 ft, descending 10 feet by the time you reach the destination, then reverse direction (10) then 5 feet towards Chak while descending 5 feet. Gets you where you can touch Chak and uses only 45 feet of movement. If the GM doesn't allow descent angles less that 45 degrees (some don't because it means you are not neatly in a cube through the entire movement) then you would need to use an extra 5 feet of move, but if you have a fly speed of 60 that wouldn't be a problem.

Chak flies in (likely provoking several AoOs) and slashes at the devil in the middle as he studies it.

Heroism, Devil Bane, Power Attack, Studied Target
+1 Keen Adamantine Nodachi: 1d20 + 20 + 2 + 2 - 4 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 20 + 2 + 2 - 4 + 3 = 31 Damage: 1d10 + 10 + 2d6 + 2 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 10 + (2, 1) + 2 + 12 + 3 = 33

Chak reads a scroll causing a floating plane of force to appear to protect him. He then waits for the approaching hoard.

shield - 1 min.

Seeing no other exits, Chak flies into the circle.

Chak flies up into the face of the devil. Double move

Chak decides he need a better way to move around and uses a scroll to enable him to fly.

Chak looks over at the spell Emberwik cast and sees Molly's wounds slowly mend.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27

"Too slow," the tengu declares as he marches over to where Molly is.

He pushes a button in his wrist sheath and a scroll drips into his hand which he reads. Molly's wounds close instantly.

scroll of heal. Molly heals 110 hp.

For the moment, Chak decides to deal with the foes in front of him.

Study Teal. Start attacking yellow. Add +3 to attack and damage after yellow drops.

Power attack, heroism, bane

"It seems our adversary, foe, and enemy has has taken his leave, scrammed, and vamoosed. He has teleported."

Chak tries to determine what Chyvvom's action was: Spellcraft: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (14) + 20 = 34

I believe I can fly...

Power Attack, Heroism, Bane, Telekinetic Charge (nodachi attacks are good-aligned)

He follows it up with a flurry of regular attacks.

Extra Damage: 1d10 + 10 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 12 + 2 = 29

Chak steps up and starts tearing into the devils in front of him.

Heroism, power attack, studied target, crusader's edge. If the first devil drops, he won't have the studied target bonus against the second, so -3 to hit and damage.

+1 Keen Adamantine Nodachi: 1d20 + 20 + 2 - 4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 20 + 2 - 4 + 3 + 2 = 41 Damage: 1d10 + 10 + 12 + 3 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 12 + 3 + (6, 3) = 42 Sneak Attack: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 1, 4, 2) = 15

1st and 3rd attacks are crit threats, not sure I am still auto-confirming at this point, so I'll roll them.

+1 Keen Adamantine Nodachi: 1d20 + 20 + 2 - 4 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 20 + 2 - 4 + 3 + 2 = 26 Damage: 1d10 + 10 + 12 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 12 + 3 = 32

"My terms are simple. We walk out of here, you get nothing."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (18) + 23 = 41

"Maybe I'll leave on my own terms instead."

"I've been wondering what a hall filled with devils had to do with testing a security system. Why were so many of the students summoning these fiends? I have long suspected the contest itself was the trap meant to lure the powerful into its web."

"But it that is the case, then the headmaster as the one who has orchestrated this is culpable. I think we need to confront him once we've left this place."

If Emberwick is low on spells, Chak will hand off a wand, but being down 49 still this might take a while. Chak then reads a scroll of infernal healing.

CLW x9: 9d8 + 9 ⇒ (4, 7, 4, 1, 1, 4, 7, 1, 1) + 9 = 39

After about a minute Chak will be better.

Chak will then approach the double door seeing if his keen sense pick up anything.

Chak steps up to the now visible creature and attacks it.

If he learns anything he will communicate it quickly as best he can. He will then pull out a scroll and read it, fading from view. He will then take a step forward and study the spiky creature.
