Daeris sits up, her hair bristling away from her face from the static electricity still discharging from her body. Coughing up a puff of smoke, she croaked out a sentence. "Anyone get the number of the lightning bolt that hit me?"
She looked around anxiously for Guen and was greeted by a rough tongue licking her face. "Yes, I am glad you're alright too. Let's go find something to eat, huh? I feel like I haven't had anything for a thousand years."
Wow! So were those magus simulcra or something? I don't remember them hitting with staff and spell at the same time before. Thanks for killing me and not poor Guen!

Sorry Daeris, just not in the range.
No worries! Technically, your turn precedes hers, so she would still have been with the group. But since she chose the closest enemy to move in on, she would have less need for the extra movement. Shaine might buff her anyway, although I don't see him in the initiative order thus far. *hint*hint*

Daeris makes sure to retrieve her bow in the interim and keeps a wary eye out for the next wave of magically generated clones. When they arrive, she gives a rare compliment. "Ah, Divide and conquer. Seems they are capable of some strategy." Her eyes narrow as she sees one has appeared dangerously close to the Master of Scrolls. She did not often see eye to eye with the elder elf, but she would still protect his life with her own. Pointing at Shaine, she gives Guen the command to defend.
The cat speeds into action and reaches her target's side, she then turns to growl at the apparent group of women standing nearby. Ready to bite if they come close enough.
Guen Ready Bite:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10Bite Damage:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 I'm guessing that's not enough to even pop an image. =/
She then moves closer herself before firing an arrow at her first victim.

Disabling the machine sounds good. Daeris could lay more traps, but they would just be snares since she's out of alchemist's fire.
"Where the hell are these things coming from?!" The elf demands of the real Arodeth. "I'm happy to kill as many of your merry sisters as necessary, but I will run out of arrows eventually!"
Female Elf Ranger(Trapper) 5 AC:20,T:13,FF:17 |HP:40/40| Fort:+5,Ref:+7,Will:+2(+2 vs.Ench)|Init:+5|Senses:Low-Light, Perc +11, Sense Motive +1
Taking advantage of the prone form before her, Daeris drops her bow and pulls her curve blade with quick, effortless motions. She then steps forward and hacks at the vulnerable Arodeth clone before her.

Daeris rolls the shoulder of her bow arm, feeling the beginnings of fatigue settling into the muscle. Stoically, she draws her bow and continues firing like a machine.
"Pretty maids all in a row, fish in a barrel. It's all the same to me."
Female Elf Ranger(Trapper) 5 AC:20,T:13,FF:17 |HP:40/40| Fort:+5,Ref:+7,Will:+2(+2 vs.Ench)|Init:+5|Senses:Low-Light, Perc +11, Sense Motive +1
A grimly satisfied smile graces the elf's lips as her trap goes unnoticed and one goes down before it can even begin. She fires another barrage, but only one of the arrows is well-placed this time.

Daeris speeds into action, still under the effects of Sparkle-Weave's haste spell. She moves past Balon into the hall and draws a flask of alchemist's fire and quickly kneels down to set a trap. Her hands fly as they set a trip wire that will burst the flask onto any unsuspecting soul who rushes through it. Satisfied with her work, she then withdraws to take up position to fire down the hall as their guests join them.
Move action to get into hall, move action to pull out supplies, one full round setting the trap and then a move action to get out of the hall and take up position. So 2.5 rounds and then she waits.
She calls Guen to join her and readies to send a barrage of deadly arrows down the hall as soon as she sees the enemy.
Fire Trap (Ex or Su)
EFFECTS
The trap explodes in flames, dealing a number of points of fire damage equal to 1d6 + 1/2 the ranger’s level to the triggering creature (Reflex negates). If it is an extraordinary trap, the ranger must use an explosive material such as alchemist’s fire when setting the trap.
You can use ranger traps 3/day, DC 13 for Perception (to notice), Disable Device (to disable), and saving throws (to avoid).
Fire Damage:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

I'm good with it. Daeris will find it theraputic to annihilate all the Arodeths of a different color since she had to do all that talking with the real one.
And yay! Rounds to prepare mean I can lay some traps! You don't often get to set up ambushes in PFS. *goes to compose*

"Works for me." The elf replies as she snatches her bow into her hands and takes a step toward the battle. She sends two arrows flying toward the one closest to her. (Targeting Purple)
Edit: Looked like Guen got left behind, so I moved her next to D.
Ooh, Sparkle technically precedes Daeris in the order, so I'm adding a haste attack! =D

Daeris decides to use the same tactic she did with one of the anchors. "Why do you believe that returning to this time will change anything? This is Earthfall. What would it matter if we all agreed to help you build your new world? We've got a few hours to accomplish something before the Starstone turns this whole place into the crater that will become the Inner Sea. Everyone here now will die, everything we create here will shortly be destroyed. If it's possible to save Aroden, if he even died as some believe, it happens to him 9000 years hence from this time. Just what do you intend to do about that from here?"
Daeris scoffs, letting her disgust come through clearly. "I despise human-kind. You infest Golarion like vermin, recklessly enacting half-baked plans with no thought to the consequences. Building your cities with no regard for the effect on the natural world. But even I can see the redeeming qualities that some of you possess. You reject stagnation, always moving forward. Always adapting to new challenges. Perhaps Aroden recognized that prophecy is merely another yoke that fate would bind you to and cast off his god-hood to prevent seeing his people bound by chains of gold. Clearly you are not all as adaptable as he would have hoped." She arched a judgmental eyebrow at Lady Arodeth.
Bluff, FE:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17 Rolled it so it could act as an aid if someone can take 10 for a stronger lead roll.

Daeris will be little help diplomatically, but she will wait for you guys to try before resorting to hostility. She does at least bonuses to Bluff and Sense Motive on humans. ^_^

Daeris nods in approval. "It seems they did not all get patted on the head until they saw the error of their ways." She smiles in a very unsympathetic way.
Female Elf Ranger(Trapper) 5 AC:20,T:13,FF:17 |HP:40/40| Fort:+5,Ref:+7,Will:+2(+2 vs.Ench)|Init:+5|Senses:Low-Light, Perc +11, Sense Motive +1
Daeris sizes up this enemy and immediately agrees with Shaine. Neither she nor Guen will be getting anywhere near this thing. "Bludgeoning, I can do. But if we are to stay beyond it's reach, we need to know how quickly it can advance. Do you know, Master of Scrolls?"
The elf draws a blunt arrow and tries to aim for a significant area, but such are hard to tell on oozes. She then moves back, calling Guen with her to be sure the monster won't advance upon them.
I really can't believe Daeris isn't equipped with an alkali flask. Major oversight on my part! >_< D & G will keep well back and continue to fire blunt arrows until it's dead.

"Somehow I doubt she will be so easily persuaded." Daeris smirks a bit as she contemplates her plan. "Where is she? I might be able to slip up on her."
Female Elf Ranger(Trapper) 5 AC:20,T:13,FF:17 |HP:40/40| Fort:+5,Ref:+7,Will:+2(+2 vs.Ench)|Init:+5|Senses:Low-Light, Perc +11, Sense Motive +1
Could it possible to slip up on Lady Arodeth and lay a trap?
Daeris does have the ability to lay traps of her own, but I'm finding that PFS games are rarely conducive to this mechanic. This looks like it might be the last fight, so I thought I would ask.
Female Elf Ranger(Trapper) 5 AC:20,T:13,FF:17 |HP:40/40| Fort:+5,Ref:+7,Will:+2(+2 vs.Ench)|Init:+5|Senses:Low-Light, Perc +11, Sense Motive +1
Daeris is beyond caring over the outcome of this attempt to bluff that they are all Orin's minions, but she'll be damned if she'll be accused of not being a team player.
"Oh sure, we all serve Orin. Hail dragons." Bluff, FE:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Unfortunately her irritation comes through loud and clear. But on the subject of why a person might serve Orin, she manages a bit better.
"Orin wants to see us succeed. He gives good directions and advice." Aid Diplomacy:1d20 ⇒ 14

Daeris draws blunt arrows from her quiver and takes steady steps toward the melee as she continues firing at the undead. Taking two 5' steps, one from last round.
She lets the arrows fly, aiming for the one closest. Targeting Green.
Female Elf Ranger(Trapper) 5 AC:20,T:13,FF:17 |HP:40/40| Fort:+5,Ref:+7,Will:+2(+2 vs.Ench)|Init:+5|Senses:Low-Light, Perc +11, Sense Motive +1
Sorry I was late today. My sleep schedule is off again and I went to bed about 5 mins before your update. >_<
Undead are one of Daeris' favored enemies. She gets +2 to hit and +2 to damage that does multiply for a crit. She also has the Killer trait and gets +3 damage on a bow crit. So that should add +9 damage to the crit (3x2 for FE and +3 for Killer) and +2 damage to the second shot for a total of 11 more damage on the Blast Shadow.
She also have blunt arrows, but that seems more relevant for the skelebones.

Sense Motive:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Daeris seems more than a little exasperated over all these idiotic cultists and the undignified pandering going on to set them straight.
"What in the hells are they teaching you in your ridiculous little Aroden cult? He doesn't show up at Earthfall, you fool! He doesn't raise the Starstone from the bottom of the sea for over 5,000 years! This is the event that led to a thousand years of darkness. If we don't get out of here, we're all going to DIE!"
Diplomacy(Aid):1d20 ⇒ 11 Yes, that is Daeris being diplomatic. XD

Sense Motive:1d20 - 1 ⇒ (5) - 1 = 4
Daeris did not accept any flower and it was clear she was getting tired of handling these humans with kid gloves. She seemed almost relieved when the time storm brought her something to kill. She pulls her bow as she takes a few steps to clear her shot and calls Guen to her side, giving the command to defend. She then raises her arrow and takes careful and purposeful aim on the first primitive human in line.

"Sure... You're Azlanti. That's why you have purple eyes, dark hair and are speaking to us in a dead language. And of course you've never seen the Starstone Cathedral, or the city of Absalom, since you die here..." Bluff(Aid?):1d20 ⇒ 11
Daeris gives misleading her a shot, thinking that mentioning landmarks she could not have seen if she really were Azlanti and from this time will stir her from this fantasy. But her sarcasm and annoyance come through too clearly, so she abandons that tactic and goes for a more direct approach.
"Oh, but wait! You don't have purple eyes and you're standing there speaking TALDANE! Wake up, you magic addled fool! You're not meant to die here, but if you're heart is set, it can certainly be arranged. Now get it together and snap out of it!" Intimidate:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Oh! Ok, I missed that part. No delay, I was just thinking it would have +8 to ac vs a ranged attack because it was prone and in melee. I still would have dropped the bow and moved in though. Just glad it doesn't have 23+ AC. That would be rough!

Daeris curses in Elven, "This thing again?!" She moves quickly up the steps, putting the fountain between herself and the hulking creature, calling Guen along with her. She fires a shot, but it is badly aimed.
Female Elf Ranger(Trapper) 5 AC:20,T:13,FF:17 |HP:40/40| Fort:+5,Ref:+7,Will:+2(+2 vs.Ench)|Init:+5|Senses:Low-Light, Perc +11, Sense Motive +1
It's crazy how personifying (androidifying?) the botting process has managed to make me irrationally afraid of it! *runs*
I think it's possible my understanding of how the Sky Key Vault is here now may be incorrect. Are we saying it was originally here in this time, or that it came back in time with us? Seems like it would have been destroyed during Earthfall if it was here originally since that event remade the landscape...

Daeris cuts her eyes sideways at Shane when he mentions 'unspeakable consequences' but this was hardly the time to rebuke the elder for his reckless use of magic. Perhaps he would know better if they survived this debacle.
She considers the problem of an entire room travelling back in time. "It's unlikely that the earth displaced by an underground room would simply cease to exist. It must have been displaced. That would leave tell-tale signs, such as cracks in the earth or places where the vegetation has been pushed up and ripped away from it's original position."
Daeris begins looking for signs of this phenomena.
Survival, favored terrain:1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 2 = 30

"So we look for the entrance to the vault here in this time and kill as many of those bastards swollen with freaky green energy as we can along the way. That about right? Let's get started!"

Daeris tries to remain calm while the others attempt to work out what is going on. "They used to speak Common, have they lost that ability now?"
«Մենք նկատի ունեմ ձեզ ոչ մի վնաս: Պարզապես ցույց են տալիս մեզ, թե ինչպես պետք է դուրս գալ, եւ մենք կարող ենք գնալ»:
Elven:
"We mean you no harm. Just show us how to get out, and we will go."
It occurred to her that as these were soon to die anyway, it would matter little if they did have to fight their way out, but she did not voice this idea.

Daeris listens with her usual austere expression and arches an eyebrow at the famous Azlanti general. «Դուք խոսում են քաղաքականությունից, երեխաների եւ խորոված ապրանքների, ինչպիսիք են մի ծեր կնոջ: Արդյոք սրանք պատմությունները, դուք պետք է հիշել է. Արդյոք սա, ինչպես դուք կհատուցի այն մարտիկներին, ովքեր հաղթել ձեր ազատությունը. Ուր են ձեր Պատերազմ պատմություններ. Ձեր հեքիաթներ փառքի?»
Elven:
"You talk of politics, children and baked goods, like an old woman. Are these the stories you would be remembered by? Is this how you reward the warriors who won your freedom? Where are your war stories? Your tales of glory?"
Intimidate:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
«Արի հիմա, եթե որեւէ մարդ ունի հետաքրքիր հեքիաթներ, դուք պետք է!»
Elven:
"Come now, if any human has any interesting tales, you must!"
Daeris performs a field assessment of the dead serpent creatures, noting the differences and similarities to the beings they had already observed, calling out her observations to the others. She seems especially interested in how they fly, whether it is a magical ability or a physiological adaptation.
~~~
Daeris nods her head once in acknowledgement of his complimentary comment about her people. Seeing a famous figure from history standing before her, speaking her own language seems to decide something for her, finally. He would have perished without our interference, but he goes on from this day to perform his great deeds. Time has always known that we were here, we have changed nothing. We have simply been the arm of fate this day.
«Մենք նրանց, ովքեր գտնում ուղին: Եկանք հեռու այս օրը նկատվում. Մեր ղեկավարները ակնկալվում է, որ մեծ իրադարձություն տեղի կունենա այստեղ, եւ որպեսզի նրանք ճիշտ են: Մենք ձգտում ենք ոչ գանձ, միայն գիտելիքներ»:
Elvish:
"We are Pathfinders. We came from far to observe this day. Our leaders expected a great event would take place here, and so they were right. We seek no treasure, only knowledge."
Turning to her comrades, she spoke in common. "It seems I may need to translate this time. If you have words for Lac Suhn. I will convey them. He wishes to know why we have aided his people this day."
Being ingratiating does not come naturally to the proud elf, but she does her best to keep her tone respectful as she answers his questions and translates for her fellow Pathfinders.

Oh! I missed the spoilers. I have ranks in Nature...
Knowledge(Nature):1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
The claw strike draws a pained hiss from the elf's lips. Daeris tries to think on her past experience for what these creatures are capable of, but it is clearly the first time she's seen a flying snake of any variety.
"Oh, I'm a dish, alright. Be careful you don't bite off more than you can chew!"
Female Elf Ranger(Trapper) 5 AC:20,T:13,FF:17 |HP:40/40| Fort:+5,Ref:+7,Will:+2(+2 vs.Ench)|Init:+5|Senses:Low-Light, Perc +11, Sense Motive +1
Daeris nods her agreement with the gnome's assertion. "Better stand back and let us deal with these. But first could someone use my wand on myself? I want to be sure I am at full health in case something goes wrong. You are welcome to use it on yourself as well if you have need."
CLW:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Once she is healed, she pulls out her tools and helps Cacumattus to work on disarming the traps.

Is that all of them? I guess I could just take 10 and have Cacu aid to ensure we always do better than 25 but I wasn't sure if I would need to aid his first roll or vice versa.

Daeris cleans her blade on the priest's robes while Guen licks and cleans her claws. She calls the leopard over and strokes her sleek fur, cooing her praise. "You did very well, little one." Guen purrs happily and leans into the petting before she begins playfully batting the snake's tail about.
Daeris turns her attention to observing the interior of the temple.
Perception:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
"More heating devices... This need for constant heat seems like a weakness that could be turned against them. An advantage warm-blooded creatures could exploit."

Perhaps noticing for the first time how weak the colorful human is looking, Daeris moves in front of her over to the other priest and strikes with her curve blade.
