"Now that you are no longer bound to this div, will this compromise your......longevity?" Elu ask the sage.

Elu is unfazed.

+2 from Greater Invisibility / invisible condition. And no Elu have nothing to remove the soft cover penalty, best Elu can do is to remove the soft cover itself with 3 shots :p

Elu wonder if the Earth Elemental will like JOE DIRT: Trüffel Custard + Oreo® Cookies + Marshmallow + Cocoa Powder....

"Elu thought you would know better where to summon it, so people can start beating it right away." Elu complains to Sinuhotep as she 5ft step fly above Ash, firing one shot at Surma then 3 shots at Air Elemental.

Most of us are staying behind the paladin and around the Elu for her Magic Circle against Evil, and you should be fine staying where you are, since the alternative would be getting into the room.
Also, Elu already gave everyone Freedom of Movement using the wand we found earlier, so you can use your round of time to cast something else if you want. Thanks for the Haste!

"That's partially why Elu is send here for. We will help you."
Elu will drinks Greater Invisibility before we initiate the fight.

Elu replis in Taldane(common): "Sent by satrap? No, Elu and others were sent by the Diamond Sage. Does the name Tahonikepsu rings any bell?"

Elu will check for traps Perception take 10: 10 + 30 = 40 while waiting for her teammates to make their way across the pillar. If the door seems safe, Elu will gives Andirke a infused extract of Barkskin +4 and a infused extract of Shield, watches him drinks them all for a total of +8 to his AC, recast Heighten Awareness from wand, then open the door with the key after everyone is ready.

Elu grabs the key and moves to the stairs that's on the opposite side of the cylinder+table+ritual room, which seems to be leading up to......no where?
What's up there?

Elu gladly taps everyone including the dino with Freedom of Movement.

Elu flies in and scans the room for treasures and historic artifacts.

Elu is a bit disappointed when she sees sarcophagus instead of lamps. , Afterall, they were dealing with albeit undead genie previously.

Almost forgot that Figment only have 1/4 HP of master instead of 1/2 HP, which mean Hedgehog max HP is only 19...... living on the edge as always, Mrs. Elu
Elu retreive the wounded hedgeghog and let it gradually heal itself up. 4 rounds of fast healing should take care of it
"Let's check out the Ghul's room."

P.S. Elise healed 10d6+20 from the channel for 58 total because of Fey Foundling feat, so she should be full

Koani is horrified that Elu would let his cute little hedgehog do that, (note: in character, not out of character), and rushes over to see if the little creature needs any first aid.

It's......complicated......" despite her vast knowledge, Elu struggles to explains this hedgehog to her teammates.

"Good job guys. Heals up while Elu take care of the missing items for the tables."
Elu takes the torc and flies to the room to the right, and place the tablet and torc into their corresponding slots. Elu then have the hedgehog out and jump on the center table, letting the familiar trigger the Vampiric Touch.

Not gonna say anything unless people want to hear the "optimal strategy" from a 26 INT elf. Don't want to put preassure on anyone here.

Is the free reload coming from Paper Catridges, or is there another method for reducing reload time to free that I missed? I'm not too familiar with guns, so I've been reading over the rules to try and figure out how the different mechanics are supposed to work.

Firearm Rules page on AoN, the Alchemical Cartridge rule can be found in Equipment->Weapons->Firearms->Firearm Ammunition / Gear (on top of the page that contain all description of alchemical cartridge, you need to click into any one of them)

Alchemical cartridges make loading a firearm easier, reducing the time to load a firearm by one step (a full-round action becomes a standard action, a standard action becomes a move action, and a move action becomes a free action)...

Loading a Firearm:...The Rapid Reload feat reduces the time required to load one-handed and two-handed firearms....

Early Firearms: Early firearms are muzzle-loaded, requiring bullets or pellets and black powder to be rammed down the muzzle. If an early firearm has multiple barrels, each barrel must be loaded separately. It is a standard action to load each barrel of a one-handed early firearm....

Elu is using a (paddle-foot)pistol, a early one-handed firearm, so it's standard action to start. Rapid Reload feat reduce it by 1 step to a move action, then Alchemical Cartridge reduce it further by 1 step to a free action, or vice versa.

Elu has {Chemical Stability: When firing an alchemical ordnance, the gun chemist reduces the misfire value of the firearm by 1 (minimum 0) and ignores any increased misfire value from using an alchemical cartridge.} from Gun Chemist archetype so she only missfire on a nat1

"Time to clean up." Elu fires 4 shots at the Ghuls. BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

The room has 20 foot ceiling, what elevation are you at Elu/Ashwell? I assume you are high enough that you can't be meleed by these/they can fit under you.

Elu would be at the ceiling height (occupying the 15-20ft altitude), which is probably out of reach for mundane medium sized non-flying melee

Slight spoiler, but I don't want to have to go retcon anyone's posts. These have step up, and it will 5 foot step to follow you if you step away Duende.

Elu will spend a question on knowledge check on this so she can tell everyone to 'watch their step'

Elu shoots the statue 4 times. The acid barely appears to phase it, but the adamantine bullets overcome its rocky exterior and leave gaping holes.

Hardness 8 and Acid Resist 10, so 1 acid and 71 damage from the bullets.

The acid are part of bullet damage as well, I only rolled them in seperate dice block to make them easier to read. They shouldn't be substracting hardness.

Elu rapidly fires 4 alchemical ordnances from her paddle-foot pistol at the statue before reloading them with alchemical cartridges, then adjust her position in the air.5ft step back "Six more targets behind the dust."

"Snakes eating their own tails...Elu have seen that motif somewhere." Elu asks Ashwell to try Mage Hand the gold ring over.

"Elu found the rebirth tablet!" Elu says to the group, holding the tablet high. "Time to look for the torc."

Elu drinks another extract of Shield, Reduce Person, and Alchemical Allocation=>Steelsheen Elixir to quench the thirst after working hard for 48 mins. She also hands the hard-working paladin a infused extract of Monstrous Physique I.

After Elu drinks up, she will fly to the unexplored center hall to exam the statue from afar, looking for any sign of a circular object/torc. She loads her pistol with adamantine bullets and put up Heighten Awareness just in case.

And Elu will shares her Pathfinder Chronicles about Arcana with Ashwell for reference when Ashwell cataloguing providing a +2 circumstances bonus, making that a 31 total

Would do the same to other teammates when they're attempting Knowledge checks as well and gives the +2 circumstance bonus, since Elu has a Pathfinder Chronicle for each Knowledge topic, all 10 of them.

Elu, please stop constantly pushing us to do things the 'optimal' way. Your last discussion post with an idea is fine, but the frequent pushes in gameplay are really a fun depressor, at least for me. Real life already has far too much pressure to do things the optimal way; I don't need it in my gaming, too.

Koani, I hear you—and I definitely don’t want to make the game less fun for anyone. But I hope you can also see where I’m coming from.

We're in a time-sensitive, high-stakes scenario—literally under a collapsing temple. Deliberately choosing inefficient strategies under those conditions isn't just suboptimal, it actively risks the mission for all of us. That can be just as much of a fun-killer, especially for people who enjoy seeing the team succeed or are invested in their characters' survival.

My post wasn’t meant as pressure, but as a helpful suggestion grounded in mechanics and teamwork. I didn’t demand anyone play a certain way—just pointed out what gives us all the best shot at completing the objective together. Some folks might want that level of coordination, even if you personally don’t.

If your intent is to just play for vibes and not success, that’s fair—but in a team-based, time-crunched mission, that should be something you say explicitly to the group. Because we’ve already burned 40% of our time and made less than 40% progress.

I get that real life is stressful. It is for me too. But part of what I enjoy about PFS—especially high-level play—is the challenge and the collaboration. That includes navigating pressure and danger in character. If that’s not what you’re looking for right now, maybe it’s worth taking a break, instead of pushing the stress back onto teammates who are trying to succeed.

No hard feelings—I just want us all to be on the same page. If people don’t want reminders or ideas, I’ll stop sharing. But let’s be honest about what kind of game we’re all here to play.

Linguistic roll twice take best: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29Linguistic roll twice take best: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34 Elu finish studying Shelf 2

Hedgehog STR: 1d20 - 5 + 5 ⇒ (11) - 5 + 5 = 11 While the Hedgehog starts on Shelf 5

Please see my discussion post about moving the shelves more efficiently.

Elu has noticed something important: it's significantly easier to make 50% progress on two different shelves in a round than to push for 100% on a single one. In other words, two rounds of 50% + 50% on two shelves is much more achievable than trying to fully complete one shelf per round. The result is the same—two shelves in two rounds—but the effort and success rate are far more favorable with the first approach.

Hypothetically speaking, if 6 people rolled 20 on their Strenght check, they can either focus effort on one shelf for 20+2+2+2+2+2=30, for 100% on 1 shelf, or spread the effort and do six shelves, for 50% on 6 shelves. That's 3 times more efficient.

With that in mind, Elu urge everyone—especially those who want to avoid being buried under a collapsing temple—to spread your efforts. Focus on moving as many shelves as we can, as efficiently as possible. Once the majority are safely relocated, we can begin cataloguing and studying them in earnest. Time is short, so let's work smart.

Some spells and abilities cause you to take an ability penalty for a limited amount of time. While in effect, these penalties function just like ability damage, but they cannot cause you to fall unconscious or die. In essence, penalties cannot decrease your ability score to less than 1.

Hedgehog Strength: 1d20 - 5 + 5 ⇒ (9) - 5 + 5 = 9 Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Elu Strength: 1d20 - 3 + 5 ⇒ (19) - 3 + 5 = 21 Elu start moving shelf 4
Fort: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34

Preferrably Koani helping Ashwell with cataloguing (good at perception) and Blarg moving tablets with its strength?

[dice=Study Art of Cosmetics w/ Craft ALchemy] 1d20 + 13 +2 +5

He looks at the first shelf, and start to catalog its contents, during this time he drinks one concoction to help himself on the task

This is most interesting

Drinking extract of crafter's fortune

Elu already finished studying shelf 1, do you want to help Ashwell and Andrike cataloguing shelf 2 instead?

Hedgehog go go!

Koani, don’t forget you and your Dino can attempt a Fort save to gain a +4 on your STR check

Perception, comprehend language: 1d20 + 28 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 28 + 5 = 49 Elu easily sorts through all the tablets in the first shelf by herself...

While sending her hedgehog to help whichever shelf people are trying to move next...
Fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Strength: 1d20 - 5 + 4 ⇒ (18) - 5 + 4 = 17
......and Sonic start running and build up momentum to move those tablet! Zoom! Zoom!

Elu is terribly frail and terribly smart, so the best she can do is to try very hard to aid you in moving the tablet. However, once a tablet shelf become available for cataloging and studying, Elu is very confident in her brain power. "The quicker we moved those heavy tablets, the sooner Elu can get to work!"

Elu calls out her familiar to aid the paladin...

"Well, it's apparent that our time is running short here. The structural integrety of this ruin is not very strong."

Elu points at the first table, "A slot for stone tablet, that we yet not have. That tells Elu that we need to go through their library ASAP."

"This one," Elu refers to the table with body-shaped slot, "will use Vampiric Touch to drain life from someone. Think of it as a sacrifice of whatever this ritual may be that may or may not stablize this place. Elu has a solution for this."

"Elu think the third one is also something that need to be found. At least we know what to looks for now, something circular." Elu making circular gesture with her finger.

"And please do not break the cylinder, Elu got a bad feeling about that thing. If you are suicidal you could just ask Elu to shoot you in the head instead."

Elu return to the library and get ready.
