”I’m ready to return home to the prime material. This place is just too ... hot. Thanks everyone for not leaving me to fight Basira alone! That was a tough fight.”
Cody smiles, ”Why of course Inevitable we are more than happy to cooperate. We are merely innocent bystanders when Basira when crazy and started attack one of our group ranting madly. He nearly killed several of us before we could subdue him!”
Pulling out his invitation to show the Inevitable, Cody continues ”I believe this invitation declares Brightcoal Estate a refuge for cultured entertainment and reminds the invitee that Basira guarantees their safety. So Basira is solely responsible for any disturbances of the peace. Also, he is guilty of being a very poor host who brings violence against his own guest.”
Cody looks around at the Inevitables, ”Do you have any more questions or are we free to go?”
Cody cast Stabilize on Basira if he is still alive then picks up his dropped wand, ”I think we have overstayed our welcome. Let’s leave with the rest of the party guest and conclude our business before any authority get interested in us!”
The hunter uses his wand to start healing Panda Jr and his own wounds as the group leaves, commenting to the others ”Not a bad party, a little dull until the end when things started to heat up.”
Cody again cast burst of radiance {link} on Basira trying to draw him away from his allies, "Come fight me!"
Cody has Panda to shift about and directs his companion to warn him if Basira attacks. Use Bolster Companion trick if attacked.

Panda and Cody swipes at Basira as he moves away. Cody getting a possible critical.
Cody gets a sticking feeling as he sees Kahwen fall to burning rays from Basira, the Hunter cast stabilize on Kahwen hopping it not too late.
As a swift action Cody alters the animal aspect on Panda to that of the Bull.
Sheathing his scimitar, Cody looks at Basira, ”My fire protection will last longer than your fly spell.”.
Seeing two of his friends attacked one of which has fallen, Cody is not inclined to retreat from the dangerous spell caster.
Fortuitously the hunter had taken the precaution of casting fire resistance on panda and himself before talking with the lady Hsirmax. (see previous post. DR 10/fire Duration 120min.)
Cody snears at Basira, ”You have attacked without provocation my friends trying to blame them without proof for your own failings! All here can see your cowardly ways! Prepare to die! Attack Jr.”
Cody directs Panda Jr to attack Basira, as he swiftly evokes animal Focus of the Snake for Panda to improve his defenses and the Mouse for himself to gain evasion.
The small red panda, menacing races to the stairway and bounds up the steps to threaten Basira.
Pulling out a wand as he moves, Cody stops at Starling’s side and uses it magics to revive her, Here’s the wand. He holds it out to her if she to use.

Cody admires the unusual fountain, but can't fathom its secrets.
spellcraft vs dc21:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
Seeing several guest holding cards, Cody shugs at the purpose.
During the party after casting resist energy (fire) on Panda Jr and himself, Cody seeks out the lady Hsirmax. He quietly congratulates her on the fun trick she pulled earlier, "This party was getting so boring until you set that guest's hair on fire. That was a good prank, do you have more?"
Cody will make an attempt to convince the salamanders to let him keep one weapon purely for self protection and because it goes so well with the outfit.
bluff DC20 :1d20 + 0 ⇒ (20) + 0 = 20
Cody would prefer to keep his scimitar, but if that is too bulky he will settle for his dagger.
Before the party:
Cody buys a Courtier’s outfit and already had the accomping jewelry from an earlier adventure. He will buy a jeweled leash for Panda and have his small pet professionally groomed before the party.
Once at the party:
Cody makes no attempt to hide any items on his person. He will have Panda ridding on his shoulder attached to to the bejeweled leash.
Waiting to discuss things after leaving Qalkami's place, Cody shugs, "A party? Whatever we do should be done on the sly, we don't need to bring disrepute upon the Pathfinder society. I can take care of summoning rats and such. Spoiled food should work just as well as poisoned food. Maybe a stink bomb or loud noise. Getting other guest drunk might work too."
Cody nods in understanding an he looks to his allies trying to think how to let them understand, speaking up ”I agree with you one hundred percent. When I heard that the fabulous Soheila was negotiating a contract with Qalkami, I couldn’t believe it. After all Qalkami dosn’t swim in the same currents as a merchant of your stature. Then I realized the great Soheila is being very cunning in her dealings and must have seen a great advantage in this contract that others such as us have no clue. Even so I don’t understand your great plan undoubtedly this contract puts Qalkami at a great disadvantage!”
Cody shrugs "Suit yourself, but your safehouse has been compromised so your safer sticking with us. You've made quite a few enemies who don't care that the law gave you a pass on a technicality. Too bad you probably would have been safe in jail, not hiding in some box. What did you do to piss them off anyway?"
After leaving Cinderstone Manor, Cody reminds the other, ”Yasmine offered to give us advice in regards to the task Qalkami assigns. I think we should consult her before proceeding.”
Cody avails himself of the liquor cabinet taking a glass of water while Qalkami details information about each of the members of the group. ”You seem to be well informed even on trivial matters such as minor pathfinder members. Impressive.”
The hunter sits down as she list what the tasks are, he listens making mental notes.
One: Convence Tavar to stop pursuing Carlin Nestor for a crime he was acquitted of.
Two: Discreately reclaim Vassago and his contract from a mephitic named Malini who runs the Eye of Flame Magic Shop. Since the lone of the grandmother’s imp familiar has expired.
Three: Finalize negotiated deal with water naga merchant Soheila who represents a larger conglomerate.
Cody looks around at his companions, ”The task seem straight forward enough. We will need directions to Carlin Nestor’s safehouse so we can speak with him, and to Soheila’s home. I assume we can find Malini athe the magic shop. Is there a time limit on completing the task?“
Cody has a most satisfying smile upon the demise of Tourch and givesZaarah a high five Yes! Well done!”
After meeting with the other society leaders, Cody shuggs ”If he return, then we will kill him again. He has done enough evil that even two deaths will not begin to balance the scales.”
Angered at Torches betrayal to the society, Cody swiftly invokes Animal Focus of the Bull for both him and Panda as he gives Panda the command to attack Grand Torch.
Both of them move past the half-orc bodyguards provoking an attack as they close on Torch
Not a fan of Grandmaster Torch, Cody give brief but complete summary of how the mission went and what we found. While the spider did try to kill the group, Cody has no wish to remain while Torch Interrogate her.
Moving as if through molasses, Cody moves around the desk drawing his scimitar to threaten Dorianna, reminding the others ”R.e.m.e.m.b.e.r . w.e . n.e.e.d . t.o . c.a.p.t.u.r.e . h.e.r . a.l.i.v.e.”
As he moves he gives Panda the command to flank her.
Panda slowly moves into position, unable to do any thing more.
Recon - Thanks GM. I think Cody would go ahead and cast the hunter’s eye to keep a lock on her Incase she vanishes again. I’ll post this round shortly.
Cody will save vs DC19:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 Panda will save vs DC19:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
Both Cody and Panda start to move and act at half speed.
If Cody smells the invisible foe in a square adjacent to him he shift back and cast hunte’s eye on it else he readies his action to cast when he next sees or hears the foe start to cast a spell.
Cody’s eyes start to glass over then with an heroic effort he shakes the affects off as he snaps out of it. Looking around he grumbles ”Some caster just tried to dominate me! They must be invisible.”f’’
Cody swiftly takes on the animal focus of a wolf giving him scent upto 10ft. He moves into the room moving forward until he can scent the foe at which point he move next to them and attempts to grapple.
Hit chance >51%:1d100 ⇒ 93 grapple:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25 provokes AoO on Cody.
Cody turns to Febella, ”Touch of Idiocy you say, Isn’t that mental compulsion enchantment and shouldn’t protection from evil protect from that? Might even restore Zaarah for a time.”
Looking around at the group, ”Does anyone have a protection spell? If so we can try and the one protected can roll up or move the carpet.”
GM - would it be possible to use the spare furniture from the storeroom B3 to make a safe walkway over the rugs?
