Crystal takes a long moment thinking but eventually sighs and shrugs. "Well, alright. I joined along for the joy of taking contracts and spilling the blood of others. But given it seems the Vernai are still capable of serving out contracts I'd be willing to step into a place of council. Even if only just to shake Saviya's failed soul as she passes into the Boneyard." She gives a sinister smile at that note.

"Anyway, enough questions, then. Let's get a little more to the point."

Crystal shuffles over to Yuki and turns out the bag on the center of the floor space, rolling Kimmich's body forward. "I'm afraid, Jakalyn that there may have been a bit of a scuffle. And I tend to get a little defensive when my favorite orc gets used for a prank."

Crystal scratches her head slightly. "Honestly, I can't say I parsed what she was trying to prove with all that research to begin with. But yeah as Yuki said we didn't have much chance to cross reference anything ourselves." Crystal shrugs and lets herself finally catch her breath. "This is why I've always preferred blueprints and recipes to research. Oh well."

"Right well I'm having a grand old time at least. Meet you back at the next convergence!

Stealth: 1d20 + 30 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 30 + 15 = 54

She absolutely disappears from all sight for the moment.

Crystal, eyes slightly bleeding just starts laughing in a definitely mad kind of way. Unable to say much else she impulsively does what she does best without even thinking and starts weaving her way through the debris out of all this.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 29 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 29 + 15 = 50

"Yes, well. Jakalyn certainly owes us all a nice dinner after this. Hopefully she can solve the Kimmich problem."

Crystal collects the woman's dawnsilver saber and hooks it onto her belt next to one of her own. "I'll have to think of a good name for this lovely saber though."

"Frankly, using a fake contract to set us up and get us out of the way seems more like betrayal to me than anything else Jakalyn has been doing. Pretty sure that's heretical no matter which way you look at it. But like a good assassin I let my blades do the talking and don't play petty little tricks!"

Crystal rolls into position adjacent to her and makes a flurry of swings.

Bloody Fang: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (18) + 31 = 49
Piercing Damage: 3d4 + 11 ⇒ (2, 1, 1) + 11 = 15
Persistent Bleed on a hit: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 6, 4) = 16

I keep forgetting to mention I wanted to put clumsy 1 and enfeebled 1 on her

Mithral Fry Pan: 1d20 + 31 - 4 ⇒ (11) + 31 - 4 = 38
Bludgeoning Damage: 3d4 + 11 ⇒ (4, 4, 4) + 11 = 23

Bludgeoning Damage: 3d4 + 11 ⇒ (1, 1, 1) + 11 = 14
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 5, 4) = 13

"And frankly, you can't go killing my favorite orc and expect not to die even if I agreed with you."

Crystal continues her sequence of attacks on the other elf.

Concealment: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Bloody Fang: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (1) + 30 = 31

Persistent Bleed on a hit: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 2, 1) = 12

Crystal sighs. "We were using that orc you know. You had no right to take his soul, we had a mission together. But I guess we'll have to teach you that lesson the hard way now." She steps back over to the daemon.

Fort: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (17) + 27 = 44

Bloody Fang: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (18) + 31 = 49 vs Off-Guard

Additional Poison Damage if applicable: 4d4 ⇒ (1, 1, 1, 4) = 7
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 2, 1) = 11

So if it's still alive count both of these following hits if not just take the first attack here as I go back to murder the elf

Concealment: 1d20 ⇒ 16
Bloody Fang: 1d20 + 31 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 31 - 4 = 37 vs Off-Guard

Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 3, 6) = 14

Will Save: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (15) + 24 = 39

Crystal makes a shocked noise and compulsively drops her pair of sawtooth sabers, and stands confusedly for a moment.

Then the moment clears and her eyes immediately narrow on the woman as she glares. "I see..." She snarls before bolting straight at the spellcaster, and quick drawing a pair of new weapons off her belt to kill this demanding woman with.

Concealment: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Bloody Fang: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (9) + 30 = 39
Slashing: 2d4 + 11 ⇒ (1, 2) + 11 = 14

Sly Striker Precision: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

Fatal only on crit: 2d8 + 11 ⇒ (1, 4) + 11 = 16
Fatal not doubled: 1d8 ⇒ 4

If those hit but I doubt it with a pair of 9s give her the clumsy 1 and weakness 5 slashing why not.

"Okay enough of that!" Crystal quickly shuffles out around the creature out of the terrain of swords.

She makes a swing at the daemon.
Concealment: 1d20 ⇒ 13
Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (11) + 31 = 42

Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 1) = 9

Keeping up clumsy 1 and weakness slashing 5

Then she twists the mantis lenses on her mask and uses it to cast See the Unseen.

"Let's see how good at hiding you really are...."

Fort Save: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (5) + 27 = 32

"Oh I see. More disembodied voices. Well I admit magic was never my strongest suit. She shrugs her shoulders and steps up to join the fray.

Since she can only current perceive one enemy she'll flurry 3 attacks at it.

Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 4, 1) = 12

This time we'll go back to the slashing 5 weakness and clumsy 1 debilitation

Crystal's tall elven ears twitch as she hears this voice call to them from afar.

Occultism (M): 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (7) + 28 = 35

"This doorway, it leads to a planar palace. Someone's personal demi-plane, at least temporarily so. Usually the doorways are invisible, they're choosing to invite us in."

Crystal laughs at Dianora's story as she follows along. "My first victim was another elf, no waiting game your way out of that one. What a useless assassin."

Crystal holds back her laugh. "Right. Well good luck there then. We have business to attend to." She nicely bows at the strange proteans.

Reflex, Greater Evasion: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (8) + 30 = 38Half damage
Reflex, Greater Evasion: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (16) + 30 = 46Critical Success
Reflex, Greater Evasion: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (1) + 30 = 31Counts as a regular failure so just 22

"If you want to stop my blades spinning you're going to have to do a lot better than that. You think some spiky scales are going to be a deterrent?"

Crystal continues her whirling blades attacks. Keep up my clumsy 1 and enfeebled 1 debilitations

Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 1, 5) = 11

Crystal continues to let her crimson cloak do her some good covering up the blood of a few more wounds.Then she swaps in one of her elixirs prepared ages ago back before the journeys of Elysium and sips it down her throat.

Greater Elixir of Life: 7d6 + 18 ⇒ (2, 5, 4, 3, 4, 1, 1) + 18 = 38

"Ah as sweet as an elderberry. A moment's respite never hurt but I am itching to get back to fighting."

She moves into position where she believes the dragon will reappear from.

"Red Hot metal! Just the way I like to see it." Crystal laughs at the burning pile of molden metal elemental laying before her and turns her attention to the still standing metallic idiot.

"I may not have a sword of flames but I think I can help do the trick here too." And she takes a flurry of swings on Yellow.

But first I heal another 8 HP at the start of my turn

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (13) + 30 = 43

Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 4) = 14

I'll stick with clumsy 1 and enfeebled 1 for now sure

"Oh Yuki, dear. What would I do without you." She smiles at the young sorcerer, "Now then, Ordulf was warned but the rest of you seem too foolish to learn from his example. So now you all must die as well."

First Crystal pulls her cloak around herself, coating her skin in the blood red soothing mist worthy of only her great patron the Mantis god himself. Activating Crimson Shroud for fast healing 8

Then she swings first at the Red Elemental

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (12) + 30 = 42 Vs OG Red from Gang Up

If I am attacked this round I will use Fading as a reaction

"Oh you've come to me, how sweet. Like a warm welcoming from an old friend. Though you are no old friend are you?" Crystal smiles and immediately drops her bow for a triage of quick slashes to Ordulf form, as a tradition among old friends.

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (3) + 30 = 33
Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (11) + 30 = 41 vs OG Ordulf

Keep on the clumsy 1 and enfeebled 1 on Ordulf assuming those hit

Then she gives a twist of her sawtooth to draw his blood further. Ordulf now has persistent bleed 3

Edit: Oops also forgot the will save vs fear
Will: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (19) + 24 = 43 So a critical success anyway then lol

Crystal's eyes narrow, and stare hollowed into Ordulf's magically laden eyes. "You come here to challenge me when I'm having the worst day I've had in decades when I've already killed you? When I get back remind me to spit on your grave. You got another chance and you squander it challenging those who have already sent you to your demise four times. And these heretics had the gall to frame us over you of all people? Unworthy of his position and his power and frankly unworthy of your pathetic existence. We'll see to it that it is erased entirely."

In a rage that only an assassin seeing her prey move again before her could truly understand Crystal quickdraws out the longbow held on her back for so long prior and fires it at Ordulf before he even knows to react to it.

Composite Longbow: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (6) + 30 = 36 vs OG surprise attacked Ordulf
Piercing: 2d8 + 7 ⇒ (5, 8) + 7 = 20

Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 2, 1) = 11

And if either of those hit I give him clumsy 1 and enfeebled 1 for whatever he is about to do

Then she makes an approach, threatening the stupid metal creature should her other allies feel the need to take out frustrations on them.

Reflex: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (5) + 30 = 35 Also Half damage anyway
Will: 1d20 + 24 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 24 - 4 = 23

At this point Crystal doesn't have a word left to say about the battle god, only that his ire for her builds up some deep hatred for him somewhere deep down in her own soul.

"Well their equipment is pretty pathetic, especially so for those of our own ilk." Crystal says while kicking a body aside. "Nothing here really worth our time, you think we'd get anything for bringing them out of here? Probably not, I suppose we aren't exactly known for family values."

Fort: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (20) + 27 = 47 Ha! I will be taking none of that!

" Normally I love the scent of blood, but the smokiness from that really isn't doing it any favors. Best get rid of this as quickly as possible."

Blood pours from every open wound, puddles under her feet and she spins in a bleeding frenzy of blades at the creatures before her as she also draws her bloody fang on the creatures as well.

Persistent Bleed on a hit: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Debilitations weakness slashing 5 and clumsy 1

Fort: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (4) + 27 = 31

Crystal spits up a small collection of blood and grimaces.

"You two owe me for this one." Crystal rolls past Kimmich to get adjacent to both massive creatures. "Perhaps these things are less my expertise so I'll have to just play distraction."

Moving between the two so that any allies adjacent to either target benefits from Gang Up and gets to hit them off-guard

Then she shrugs, drops one of her sabers at her feet and dumps out an entire bottle of venom on her sword to see if that serves her any good with one single swing on Red.

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (20) + 31 = 51
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (3, 1, 5) + 11 = 20
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

DC 32 fort save vs Purple Worm Venom

Crystal smiles, a horrible sinister smile. "Oh I love blood! Why don't we dance, then. I was looking for a new partner."

Crystal points one sword at Black spins her blades back downward, steps forward and back and attempts to disorient the blood mass with her moves.

Prayer Attack feint at Black. Feint: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (14) + 26 = 40
There's a solid chance this thing is mindless and that did nothing but I tried anyway!

Then she rushes the creature and swings one blade into its bright bloody form.

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (6) + 31 = 37 possibly off-guard?
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (3, 1, 1) + 11 = 16
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 2, 4) = 15
Apply weakness slashing 5 and clumsy 1 on a hit

Crystal steps up and over to the blue creature. "Normally I savor a good kill but honestly at this point you're just wasting my time."

She continues with a pair of slices on Blue

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (10) + 31 = 41 vs OG Blue
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 2, 6) + 11 = 21

Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (3, 6, 4) + 11 + 3 = 27
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 3, 6) = 17

Crystal flicks her swords back to their customary mantis downward motion and she juts her arms forward just erratically enough to try and fake out the red elemental as she swings.

Deception to Feint, Prayer Attack: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (12) + 26 = 38 vs red's perception DC

Then, hoping her mantis fighting style was effective she hides two real swings in her display.

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (9) + 31 = 40 possibly vs OG
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 5, 3) + 11 = 21
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 4, 5) = 16

Sawtooth #2 (Figment): 1d20 + 31 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 31 - 4 = 46 possibly vs OG
Slashing Damage, Twin: 3d6 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5, 2) + 11 + 3 = 22
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 1, 3) = 10

Add in my usual weakness slashing 5 and clumsy 1 if either hits

"Well no self respecting woman of fashion like myself would show up early to a soiree. So you should be honored I'm saving your skin now this early on."

Crystal flies up next to Kimmich and tries to finish off the dwarven creature before it gets another chance to cut into Kimmich's skin. Then she quickdraws one blade and the next and gets down to dancing.

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (11) + 31 = 42 vs OG Dwarf
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (6, 2, 3) + 11 = 22
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 5) = 14

Sawtooth #2 (Figment): 1d20 + 31 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 31 - 4 = 29
Slashing Damage, Twin: 3d6 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (1, 6, 5) + 11 + 3 = 26
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 4, 6) = 22

Please apply the usual clumsy 1 and weakness 5 to slashing if one hits and it doesn't die

Mental damage from first turn: 24d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 2, 6, 1, 4, 2, 2, 4, 3, 3, 1, 4, 1, 2, 2, 1, 3, 1, 6, 6, 4, 5, 2) = 72

Crystal frustrated and irritated finally makes her way to the top of the chasm after 3 more actions flying up.

"Never say I did nothing for either of you. If I was fuming angry I would have left to assassinate new horizons."

Reflex: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (5) + 30 = 35
Will save (agile mind): 1d20 + 24 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 24 - 4 = 23
Will save (agile mind) hopefully heroically: 1d20 + 24 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 24 - 4 = 28

Crystal cascades into the pit gliding down carefully and rolling onto her feet and then just... stops. Pulls her hands to her head and starts screaming in absolute terrible pain as her eyes start bleeding from inside her skull.

Reflex: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (10) + 30 = 40 Crystal completely rolls away from the strikes of lightning.

Then she laughs and turns to the remaining valkyries"I'll give you all points for not giving up even when you've all lost most of your sisters. But it won't pay off, I assure you."

She rushes the troop and makes a spinning trio of strikes at them while Kimmich has their attention.

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (20) + 30 = 50 vs OG troop
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 6, 1) + 11 = 20
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 2, 6) = 12

Now off-guard ALSO from crit specialization in addition to from gang up. Also add usual clumsy 1 and weakness to slashing. I'll also choose to slash with my knife instead then.

Bloody Fang: 1d20 + 31 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 31 - 4 = 34 vs OG troop
Slashing Damage: 3d4 + 11 ⇒ (4, 2, 2) + 11 = 19
Persistent Bleed on a hit: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 4, 5) = 13

Bloody Fang again: 1d20 + 31 - 8 ⇒ (19) + 31 - 8 = 42 vs OG troop
Slashing Damage: 3d4 + 11 ⇒ (3, 3, 4) + 11 = 21
Persistent Bleed on a hit: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 3, 6) = 18
This is also a crit because Bloody Fang is keen!

Reflex: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (1) + 30 = 31 So that still bumps up to a regular failure but >:(

Shocked and poked like a pin cushion Crystal painfully keeps on her feet.
"I truly hope you know what you're all doing, because I certainly don't believe in mercy."

She strikes out at the blue Valkyrie twice while her allies have it distracted.

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (6) + 30 = 36 vs OG from gang up
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 2, 6) + 11 = 21
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 4, 4) = 17

Bloody Fang: 1d20 + 31 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 31 - 4 = 40 vs OG from gang up
Piercing Damage: 3d4 + 11 ⇒ (2, 4, 1) + 11 = 18
Persistent Bleed on a hit: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Additional Poison Damage if applicable: 4d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 1) = 11
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 3, 1) = 9

Again add clumsy 1 and weakness 5 slashing on first hit

And not having any better brighter ideas she continues cutting into the creature.

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 30 - 8 ⇒ (13) + 30 - 8 = 35 vs OG from gang up
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (5, 3, 5) + 11 = 24
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 5, 6) = 23

Bloody Fang: 1d20 + 31 - 8 ⇒ (5) + 31 - 8 = 28 vs OG from gang up
Piercing Damage: 3d4 + 11 ⇒ (2, 2, 4) + 11 = 19
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 3, 5) = 15

Crystal twirls her knife once in her hand and then kisses its hilt. "You've never gotten to show off for me, have you? Well now it's time for you to truly impress me, Bloody Fang. I'm so glad I brought you home with me."

She then swings the knife in a powerful wide arc, a wave of undulating red energy bursts across the field.

Sweeping Slash washes across both troops of valkyrie.
Slashing Damage: 15d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 3, 1, 4, 4, 6, 2, 6, 6, 5, 2, 1, 5, 3) = 57 basic Ref DC 34, add 1d6 persistent bleed on a failure.

Then she tosses Bloody Fang up, swings her sawtooth blade and catches the poisoned knife for a follow up attack, both on the blue troop.

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (4) + 30 = 34 vs OG from Gang Up
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (2, 4, 1) + 11 = 18
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 5, 1) = 12

Bloody Fang: 1d20 + 31 ⇒ (1) + 31 = 32 vs OG from Gang Up
Piercing Damage: 3d4 + 11 ⇒ (4, 2, 2) + 11 = 19
Persistent Bleed on a hit: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Additional Poison Damage if applicable: 4d4 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 2) = 8
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 3, 4) = 9

Reflex, greater evasion: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (3) + 30 = 33 Crystal gets hit dead on with lightning but still manages to channel most of it off into her arms off her swords and into the ground.
Failure but I still take half damage

"The enemy of my enemy as it turns out is not my friend either. Well, no matter we left the valkyries to live last time it won't happen again!"

Crystal runs to the far end of the hoard of valkyries and executes a spinning twin feint maneuver.

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (5) + 30 = 35
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (5, 3, 4) + 11 = 23
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Sly Striker Precision Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 1) = 11

If that hits they're off guard for this second attack, plus weak 5 to slashing and clumsy 1

Sawtooth #2 (Figment): 1d20 + 30 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 30 - 4 = 30
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (4, 4, 5) + 11 + 3 = 27
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 1) = 9

Then seeing an opportunity with these mobs of outsiders at her heels she grins fiendishly and swaps Figment with Bloody Fang in one hand.

"You will make no dummy out of a Red Mantis. But you've never had to take on someone of your own size before, have you?"

Crystal turns her attention to the frog and begins trying to cut its stupid tongue off, and then cut off every other limb and appendage it has.

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (8) + 30 = 38 vs OG from Gang Up
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (1, 5, 6) + 11 = 23
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 6) = 14

Sawtooth #2 (Figment): 1d20 + 30 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 30 - 4 = 28 vs OG from Gang Up
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (1, 1, 4) + 11 + 3 = 20
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 5, 5) = 14

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage) attk 3: 1d20 + 30 - 8 ⇒ (11) + 30 - 8 = 33 vs OG from Gang Up
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2, 5) + 11 + 3 = 23
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 2, 1) = 12

Will now make this frog clumsy 1 and weak to slashing if I hit

Then for extra good measure she twists her blade to add persistent bleed of 4.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 27 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 27 - 1 = 27
Well, there goes that beautiful hero point...
Fortitude: 1d20 + 27 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 27 - 1 = 38

Crystal rolls back outside of the corpse pile's form and continues her sequence of mantis style lunging prayer attacks even with her still shaking scared hands.

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 30 - 1 ⇒ (17) + 30 - 1 = 46 vs now automatically OG from Prayer Attack
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (3, 4, 4) + 11 = 22
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2) = 12

If crit its now offguard to everyone for the round and also it's going to be clumsy 1 and weak 5 to slashing no matter what

Sawtooth #2 (Figment): 1d20 + 30 - 4 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 30 - 4 - 1 = 31 vs now automatically OG from Prayer Attack
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (6, 6, 1) + 11 = 24
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 5) = 14

[ooc]And now I am finally no longer frightened and therefore no longer slowed 1 phew

Fort vs Battle Reek: 1d20 + 27 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 27 - 2 = 37
Will (agile mind)vs frightful presence: 1d20 + 24 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 24 - 2 = 34
Reflex (greater reflexes) vs Trample: 1d20 + 30 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 30 - 2 = 31 Ugh, terrible but I think I'm just going to keep it
Fort vs Energy Drain: 1d20 + 27 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 27 - 2 = 30

Crystal's hands shake both in fear and exhaustion. She feels an impending doom wash over her, but like any assassin she's going to go down swinging. She holds her swords downward and jerking and jutting forward before she cuts across the pile of undead corpses.

Deception to feint at undead thing with Prayer Attack vs Will DC: 1d20 + 26 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 26 - 2 = 40

Then she makes two attacks at the creature with her sabers.

Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 30 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 30 - 2 = 32 vs off-guard from the feint
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (6, 2, 6) + 11 = 25
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 5) = 10

Sawtooth #2 (Figment): 1d20 + 31 - 2 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 31 - 2 - 4 = 27
Slashing Damage,twin: 3d6 + 11 + 3 ⇒ (4, 5, 2) + 11 + 3 = 25
Sly Striker Precision: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

Either one of those will add my usual debilitations of clumsy 1 and weakness 5 slashing

Will save: 1d20 + 24 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 24 - 4 = 32

Crystal remembers what it was like to be stared at with such intensity from another self of her own, across the dark parallel barrier far away and it sends a shiver down her spine. She shakes in a newfound fear that Gorum sees her the one way she had wished never to be seen again.

Crystal shrugs, replaces her dagger back in place with Figment and floats up and out the window as well. A shame there will not be azata blood spilled here but perhaps also a waste of good magic to do so.

Crystal bites her lip at the massive crowd of crystal-like celestials and tries a gamble, swapping out Figment for Bloody Fang and stealthily positions herself.

Crystal takes a long look at the writing, bites her lip and then pulls out on of her small handheld mirrors. "Actually... I think I can read it. A remnant learning of another self, another time." She says somewhat wistful and stares into the image on the other side, adjusting the bun on her hair.

She dictates off the wall. "'A light for those in darkness. A lens for those to see. A locale to watch the war.' That sounds like an invitation to me." She shrugs and puts the mirror back in her satchel, then redraws her weaponry and shuffles into place.

With the cool con belt I have now I'm at like 244 so I'm firmly happy in second line now behind Kimmich

Crystal squints at her inquisitively, almost instinctively shaking one of her ears in the comparison to this other elf here.

"Not that I'm one to deny someone a death by my hands... tell me what it is that ails your body so and brings you to ask for such a thing first." Though she does unsheathe one of her sawtooth blade intending to follow up on the request.

Crystal blinks in shock. "Calistria? While I can't say I don't admire the goddess of trickery herself I couldn't imagine what kind of a conversation she would have with the Mantis God himself. Certainly that could only inspire a great many entertaining things. Very well, asuras, you have me curious so I have a pair of little secrets that I hope you'll return the favor on... well one is quite the bit larger actually."

"For one the dockmaster back in Ilizmagorti is a member of the grand heretical conspiracy. We even have records from him asking for favor from the heretically hopeful Saviya when she becomes Bloodmistress, which naturally we will not allow to happen." She smirks ever so slightly and even pulls up the ledger note which she still retained from their previous bout with the Vernai. "Additionally a herald of Gorum has been slain. One known as the First Blade. We not only witnessed their destruction but caused it by our own hands. They arrived to avenge a mortal of all things. To engage in mortal affairs only to die by mortal hands, what a fool." Crystal shrugs and chuckles in emphasis of the perceived foolishness.

"Well, admittedly I don't know how late this man already is, but I can't see it making a huge amount of difference if we look around given how much time we're already spending on fireface over here and the injuries he caused to us." Crystal already flippantly de-emphasizes her grievous wounds.

Sure I'll take a belt of long life, I have been getting knocked around a bit lately so a few extra temp HP and a little extra con wouldn't hurt.

Crystal stops and lets the adrenaline shake itself out of her system, breathing heavily. "Well, I'll admit that was more fun than I was expecting it to be. I might need a moment to collect myself after such a marvelously violent skirmish."

She refastens her hair bun with the corset knife and starts picking through the slain mantis' gear. "Well... you know the law of Golarion. 'Finders keepers!' I'm sure they would have no qualms with us taking this off their corpse's hands."

Society to investigate corpse while taking all his valuables: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (3) + 26 = 29

"Enough running, we're the hunters in this realm and we've got you cornered."

Crystal nods at Yuki and races after the flaming angel loser.

She licks her lips and winds up a specially targeted saber strike.
Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (14) + 30 = 44
Sawtooth #1 (Mirage): 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (12) + 30 = 42
Slashing Damage: 3d6 + 11 ⇒ (4, 1, 5) + 11 = 21
Cold Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Sly Striker Precision: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8

Then thanks to her twin takedown which she almost never needs to use she makes a much more sneaky follow up strike with her corset knife.
Corset Knife aka “Stinger”: 1d20 + 30 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 30 - 4 = 36 vs OG and clumsy 1 etc
Piercing Damage, DRings: 3d4 + 11 ⇒ (3, 1, 1) + 11 = 16
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 4) = 12

And seeing her previous job has keep the Peri's wound festering she opts for a final hasted strike for good measure as well.
Corset Knife aka “Stinger”: 1d20 + 30 - 8 ⇒ (6) + 30 - 8 = 28
Piercing Damage, DRings: 3d4 + 11 ⇒ (1, 3, 3) + 11 = 18
Sneak Attack if Applicable: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 5) = 15
