There are those who call me... Nym? And there are those who know our story of this adventure.

Worth noting: TOZ was my GM. There are no punches pulled with him!

Lastly this is, officially for me, the last PF1 scenario I will play. Story-wise, it's quite the milestone for my playing career.

"I accept. I may not be a Venture-Captain, but that could actually serve me best. Though outside of this group I would keep this 'on the low down'. I believe that is how the kids phrase that." Nym says, trying to not sound out of touch.

"And be one of the Decemvirate? Really?"

Nym examines the precise spellcasting and nods. "In short, we stopped the traitor Decemvirate member. They were Vahlo Huovar, and they were a graveknight. Their helm had become part of the armor, so to end Vahlo we had to destroy it. By the way, all it takes is having 5 people put it on, one after the other. So... keep that in mind."

"We also dealt with an assassin who slew KULIK. We brought the Venture-Captain back with a scroll, but Vahlo saw fit to slay him and then turn him into a morhg. We will need a cleric to bring him back."

"Finally, did see Torch. Or should I say Ven Lorovox. He actually helped us against Vahlo, and is the reason why we knew how to destroy the artifact. He lives, and I think that is for the best," Nym pauses in thought. "There is another artifact though, a blade that Vahlo wielded, which I would like to study. Depending on its nature I may see to destroying it."

Nym takes a deep, exhausted breath. "I admit I've had little to do with your Shadow Lodge, or even many interactions. But I can see you've made mistakes. Costly ones. And you know this. It's your path now to deal with the consequences, but you can't do that dead. So yes, I say you live. You should leave, and perhaps find a community in need that has your skills. I hear the outer planes are lovely this time of year."

"I think it only fitting that you should, Ven."

"A pretty big one, I would say. The assassin slew KULIK and nearly did so to Bishop as well. A powerful, deadly miscalculation that nearly derailed our ability to stop Vahlo," Nym says, not at all gently.

He then looks over to what's left of KULIK. "Our friend has had a very rough day."

Nym will take the helm next.

"I believe you," Nym declares. "But Munny, perhaps understandably, has concerns. So if you allow him to perceive lies to confirm your statement about destroying the helm and nothing more[l then we will take the risk. In turn you have my word that you will be safe to leave this place. It is my solemn promise, Ven."
Diplomacy, take 10 for 37

Nym grimaces at the idea of wearing the helm. "Would throwing it into a volcano not suffice? Or is the artifact immune somehow? I admit that I wish to study it, but not in the presence of a graveknight. The rules of magic always seem to bend for artifacts, and in this case we have two such items."

The wizard lands next to Munny, looking over drained gunslinger. "You need a cleric. Or similar magic."

Nym completes his summoning, and with a popping noise a creature appears: a lillend azata!

The azata sees the graveknight, face grim. She looks then to Nym. "I think I see the problem. Allow me to inspire you all to heights of greatness."

With a nod, the enchanter says, "Thank you. My companions need healing too."

An inspirational song fills the air as the planar creature sings, flying towards the danger.
Inspire Courage +2

Nym then takes a moment to study the newcomer.
Knowledge Religion/Planes?: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (3) + 30 = 33
Nym would start with special attacks, then defenses. I didn't roll well, but if there's a third thing gimme whatever you like
He shares what he knows.

Rest of turn depends on what he determines

Seeing that the martially-inclined folk could use help, Nym considers the situation for a split second. He then invokes the power of his rod and barks out a spell. Instantly, mirrored duplicates of the enchanter appear. Cast Quickened Mirror Image
Images: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7 7 images

He then begins a spell to call into this plane some assistance for the group.
Cast Summon Monster VI

Fort save: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

Nym is rocked by the magical blast, and blinks as he sees himself on the ground. Gingerly the enchanter stands up, brushing off some grass and dirt from his robes. He hears a blast from Munny's weapon, and sighs. "I couldn't have been so lucky that this would be over, of course."

He then takes flight, arcing over the wall and back into view of the others. From afar he spies the helm, as well as the lightning form that occupied it and holds the sword. Uncertain of whatever magic is forming, the wizard once more draws energy from his rod to release a second cloud of glitter over their foe!
Quickened Glitterdust. DC 23 Will save or be blind.
Also, Nym is 10ft up in the air

He then realizes what's happened: the helm is part of the graveknight armor. "The helm also needs to be destroyed, or he'll continue to regenerate!"

"Everyone, get back! This is further out of control that I thought! Unless you can help, move away!"

"Also, I will need to study the helm and the weapon. But... do not touch the blade. It is an artifact of power, and could exert its will upon you. Which, to be honest, might be why we find ourselves here today."

"Whatever Vahlo was doing, and I'm starting to get a sense of its nature, has become unstable. Here, allow me..."
Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (15) + 30 = 45

"I do, and I see your point. One moment," Nym says before weaving a spell and releasing a thin green ray at Vahlo's armor.
Disintegrate: 36d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 5, 4, 6, 1, 5, 2, 4, 2, 5, 6, 4, 3, 3, 2, 4, 6, 2, 4, 2, 5, 4, 1, 5, 4, 3, 2, 3, 5, 6, 1, 3, 3, 5, 4) = 130
(not sure that it gets a save. If so, DC is 27)
Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28 Not sure if the wind affects rays. If so, -4 to that.

Nym works through a spell to strip away some of Vahlo's protective magics.
Dispel Magic (Targeted Dispel): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26
Dispels a spell of CL15

He then pulls out rod to speed up magic, and rattles off a spell to hasten the group.
Haste on the party, minus zombie KULIK

"If you can, disarm him!"

SR: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (7) + 20 = 27
SR (reroll, sigh): 1d20 + 20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 20 + 3 = 33

Nym just shakes his head, uninterested in the villainous banter. He draws further upon his magical might, and works to banish Vahlo to an extradimensional labyrinth.
Cast Maze. No save.

Unsure of what arcane defenses Vahlo might have, Nym once more weaves dweomers essence into a spell. With practiced ease he releases another spell to hold a foe.
Cast Quickened Hold Monster. DC 30 Will save.
SR check? : 1d20 + 20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 20 + 5 = 44

Seeing the daemon freeze up, Nym wastes no time to relish the moment. He calls to Munny, "Show me where he is," and then readies to cast a spell.
Ready action to cast Glitterdust when Munny tips Nym off. DC 23 Will save. Intend is to place it so that it hits no allies.

Nym flies back and away from the daemon, seeing that it's a problem for his more martially inclined friends. Suspecting that the evil outsider will be resistance to magic, he pulls out dweomer's essence and mixes the materials into a rapidly cast spell that attempts to hold the creature!
SR check (in case it's needed): 1d20 + 20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 20 + 5 = 41
Quickened Persistent Hold Monster on the Astradaemon. DC 30 Will save.

He watches to see the results of his spell...

points at all the things hideous and nasty bits

Knowledge Planes: 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (15) + 30 = 45
Nym would focus on knowing its special attacks, resistances, and whether it is immune to mind affecting effects. He will share what he knows.

The enchanter flies over Timber before casting a spell and touching Hayato, Bishop, and his wolf. Instantaneously they reappear near their foe!
Cast Dimension Door

"If the tracks aren't in the air then they are on the ground. Unless they have, for some inexplicable reason, started to hide their tracks then our master ranger ought to be able to find them."

Nym says all this while flying and invisible, of course.

"Forgive me for being curt, but we need to hurry. The pleasantries will have to wait," Nym says, urging the group onward. He gestures for Hayato to take point as usual, then forms up with the rest of the group. "To the tower. And we need to be smart about it, as I expended a great deal of magic today."

"The assassin is dead, has is his lackey. We did get some information though, thanks to a clever use of magic from Munny," Nym says, recounting everything that occurred since the inquisitor died.

"It might be worthwhile for you to call in a favour and restore some of the vitality to your soul. But quickly, as I think we've dallied too long already."

Nym ensures that KULIK is brought back to life, but otherwise has no other pressing concerns.

"Yes, let's be about it. Ushyle grows cold and I don't like it."

"Do you think you can learn more? Or should I teleport to get KULIK brought back from the dead?"

"See if he knows about the 'masked leader'. Like, numbers or species. Could be some weirdness, like a foul beast with nasty, sharp, pointy teeth!" Nym puts his hand up to his mouth and sticks out two fingers, miming what could be very long rabbits teeth.

"Enough."

"Eliza is best, but don't forget the troll. It will need to be subdued."

"We will need to be quick. The 'troll' will likely regenerate to a conscious state soon, and will try to break through the ice dome I conjured. And that dome will only last a little over 15 minutes."

Nevertheless, he flies down, drawing a wand and expending a charge to heal Bishop. The magic gives him an uncomfortable feeling, but slowly does its job. Infernal Healing on Bishop.

Nym flies forward after hearing Bishop hit the ground. Expecting the worst has happened, he drains power from his gloves to bring the ranger back from the brink.
Breath of Life: 5d8 + 9 ⇒ (1, 8, 5, 3, 2) + 9 = 28

May use a Quickened action too depending on results of BoL

"Hayato, find the assassin and move away from the troll. I will deal with the troll."

He then flies up further and readies to cast Wall of Ice as a dome over the troll when he moves away.

Cursing, Nym uses some dweomer's essense to strengthen the magic of his next spell. Quickly he casts a spell to hold the troll in place.
Persistent Quickened Hold Monster with Dweomer's Essense. DC 30 Will save.
SR: 1d20 + 20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 20 + 5 = 28

He then casts a spell that allows him to disappear from view.
Cast Greater Invisibility

Nym completes his spell, letting the magic wash over the troll has he attempts to dominate the humanoid.
DC 28 Will save please. Rest of turn depends on the save result.
SR: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (6) + 20 = 26

To be fair, nobody introduced themselves to Nym! In the end, initiative started and he just tagged along. I mean... obviously he knows who you all are.

By way of answer, Nym begins casting a spell...
Full round casting time

"It was a pleasure to adventure with you, however briefly. Even if you, not once, deigned to ask for my name." the bearded wizard smiles.

The moment KULIK drops from the strike, Nym springs into action. Speaking a command word he activates the magic within his gloves that breathes life back into the inquisitor's soul. "Not on my watch, pal."
Using First Aid Gloves to cast Breath of Life

"If I catch even a hint of subterfuge or evasion, I will ensure that you spill every little secret you have," the enchanter promises.

Nym mutters another spell, this time using his magic to give precious seconds to most of his allies.
Cast Haste, catching everyone except Timber unfortunately

He them moves further in, repositioning himself to have a bit of distance from the danger.

"You two, wait! I will pull us out from this cage."

He then whispers a spell and places hands on the two Pathfinders. The magic instantly pulls them out of the force dome.
Cast Dimension Door

Earlier...
"Flight and invisibility?" he says to Bishop. "There are magical items that you could procure. This ring grants me invisibility. The perpetual flight is perhaps misleading. It lasts me most of the day, and is a spell I can cast. Though I do know of a particularly potent chain armor that has some temporary flight magic built into its links. It's notable in that it glows with a celestial energy. I would be happy to talk more about it after we address the issues at hand."

Now...
"I can fix the gate once our problems at hand are dealt with," Nym reports. "My first mentor to the Society, Janira Gavix, is perhaps one. We also apprehended and bound several thieving knaves, though I don't know that they could add more. Perhaps?"

"If this place is empty then perhaps we should report in to Eliza. She might have learned something. Unless I have forgotten something?"

"Hayato, lead the way please," Nym asks before activating his ring and disappearing from sight.

Nym will remain 5ft off the ground too, using overland flight
