Marnarius gives a wicked grin as he sees Aram Zey's dead body, murmuring, "Payback..."
After they hand off the Sky Key and secure their escape, even though his revenge is complete, Marnarius hopes his next mission allows him to spill more Pathfinder blood...
Thanks for running this, GM. Enjoyed playing with everyone!

Feeling his sword hit flesh, Marnarius smiles despite the damage it inflicts upon himself...hasted, the Slayer takes three more swings at the noted Pathfinder...

Sorry GM, not used to using poison and I misunderstood...I thought it took two successive saves on a successful hit...
Zurnzal, I don't have Deadeye Bowman or Improved Precise Shot so if I fire at him, you provide soft cover adding +4 to his AC...and after my last shot, looks like he has DR10 so I can't do much damage even if I can hit him and I'm out of poison...I couldn't move to strike him with my blade as Joliryn is already there...so I figured giving us an option to grab the Sky Key was another alternative...

With Zurnzal grappling Aram, Marnarius has no clear shot...and with Joliryn on the near flank, he has no move to strike with his blade...he instead looks over at the glass case protecting the sky key and fires 3 arrows at it hoping to break the case open (he'll stop firing if one of the arrow breaks the case)...and awaits to see the results...
Marnarius / Male Human NE Slayer / 7th | HP:41/67 | AC:21 T:13 FF:19 | CMB:12 CMD:24| F:+9 R:+9 W:+7 | Init:+2 | Per: +11
GM: I'm assuming the Sky Key is in the glass case in the cordoned off circle...is it visible in the case? Is the glass case too large to be carried? As the fight does not go well for us, just considering if we should try to snatch the key and run...

Marnarius will await to see if Gazwyr withdraws so he'll have a clear shot; if so, he'll fire thrice at where he supposes the Pathfinder to be (the space between Jorilyn & Zornzal); the first arrow has the poison...
Longbow:1d10 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 10 + 1 = 19
Damage:1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Miss > 50% (low is good):1d100 ⇒ 12
Deathblade Poison, Fort DC20: once a round for 6 rounds, if fail 1d3 CON damage, cure two consecutive saves

Fresh off the sting of the last set of spells and confused by what's real and what's not, Marnarius temporarily retreats back to the hallway to get his bearings, draws his healing potion, and consumes it...

Since you mentioned the chanting and the scorched ray came from the balcony, do the rest of us know he's up there somewhere or do we still have to disbelieve the illusion?

Question on disbelieving at illusion. I know I failed my last check...my next move was going to be to use a Slayer trait and study my target (since Aram Zey is human, I'll get +4/+4). In the rules, I believe it says direct interaction or study allows a Will check to disbelieve...since using 'study' would be my first action next round, does that mean I'd get to roll a Will Save before taking the rest of my action? Or does that Slayer ability not count as a proper 'study' as far as illusions go?

Marnarius can't hold his tongue after hearing Gazwyr speak so condescendingly to Rataji...
"Were it not for us 'weak kind' you'd still find yourself trapped by the tapestry...for such a strong predator, why do you have to depend on pathetic prey to be rescued?
"As strong as you are, you are still quite young for a dragon...I doubt you'd could kill the five of us 'prey' before you would be food for a different type of worm...if it were not for my hatred of the Pathfinders, we could put that to the test right now...but I'm willing to wait, if you are...

Marnarius grunts. "Pathfinders trapped me on that plane as well...spilling their blood is vengeance enough for me...but if you need further motivation, you need only to see the riches they've stored here..."

GM/Zurnzal:
Marnarius will study the target that Zurnzal wishes to take out...
When the half-Orc mentions his ambush plan, Marnarius nods and sneaks off to the woods close to Skyreach, coating his blade with deathblade poison while awaiting Zurnzal to lure the agent there...
Stealth:1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 2 = 26
I'll wait to post my attack until the GM posts the reaction of the targeted agent...my actions will depend on if the agent follows Zurnzal and if I'm not spotted...

Marnarius finally sees another of his Aspis companions; he sees Zurnzal apparently looking for something, or someone, and he moves towards him...when he gets close he whispers, "Of what do you search? I'm rather bored...can I be of assistance?"

Marnarius returns to the spot where he parted from his party, wondering where everyone went...he looks around to see if he can find any of them...or anything else interesting...

GM:
Marnarius bows to the Sphinx and whispers, "I understand you completely, noble one...I shall attempt to unlock your cage next...the optimal time for your escape will be in an hour-and-a-half..."
He goes to work on the Sphinx's lock...
Disable Device:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
He'll then await till the Sphinx communicates with the other animals...once he hears that, Marnarius will sneak to the serpent's cage and attempt to disable it as well...
Stealth:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
Disable Device:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
With the Sphinx communicating to the others, I assume I no longer need an Handle Animal check? Also you mentioned earlier, that Marnarius thought three would be sufficient to cause a distraction so I also assume there's no need to free more...
If he's successful, Marnarius will give a final nod to the Sphinx and leave...
GM, is Marnarius supposed to try to get the weapon before joining back up with the others? Wasn't sure since it's in the vaults beneath Skyreach and we're headed to the vaults as part of our main mission any way...if so, he'll head to Skyreach, if not, he'll head back to find the others...

Can I take 10 on the Sense Motive check? I think I know the Sphinx's general meaning either way but I'm guessing I need to nail the check regardless...
Sense Motive:10 + 11 = 21
Marnarius grins and whispers to the Sphinx, "I think I know your meaning noble one..."

Marnarius grimaces upon seeing the keys on the zookeeper; he knows he's not spry enough to pick those keys off without alerting the man and knows he can't fight without alerting everyone else...
He'll remain hidden and wait till the zookeeper is out of view before sneaking to the reinforced cages, thinking they'll make a bigger splash if freed... while eying the Sphinx, he wonders if the beast might easily overpower him so decides against doing that cage first. Thus he tries the double-headed vulture cage to start. He checks for traps first and then tries to quietly calm the creature before working on the locks...
Stealth:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Perception:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18
Animal Handling:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
If he can keep the vulture calm, he'll attempt to pick the lock, hoping the animal won't try to escape till after he leaves...
Disable Device:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30
GM, kinda winging this so let me know if you need a different sequence of DCs

Marnarius smirks at Shohiraj. "You are spunky little one...I like you...best you worry about not being the dead weight we have to carry out of here..."
Marnarius give a curt bow to Rataji. "I'll be back before zero hour..."
The slayer makes his way to the Menagerie...once there he uses the available cover to make himself unseen...

Marnarius ignores the side chatter, and focuses in on the leader of this mission. He cares not whom is in charge as long he gets to strike at the Pathfinders...
"Got it..."
...but, he thinks to himself, After that, I have my own agenda...
Marnarius / Male Human NE Slayer / 7th | HP:41/67 | AC:21 T:13 FF:19 | CMB:12 CMD:24| F:+9 R:+9 W:+7 | Init:+2 | Per: +11
Marnarius thinks again upon the missive and gives a wicked grin as he does so...after those years of captivity, he'll finally have his revenge...and hopefully some Pathfinder blood as well...
