Indeed, I'll take a victory. Regarding the 'evil' giants. If I were to go about dramatically altering the balance of power everywhere I went, I may attract much unwanted attention. I think it best we accomplish what we came for and not destroy potential foes simply for having crossed our path.

I had thought Peter was invisible. He also automatically succeeds on casting that defensively at DC 31.

Peter sees the wounds on the knight and summons some heavenly reinforcements.

fort: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (5) + 21 = 26

A lion headed humanoid appears. It charges its fists with divine energy and charges on all fours towards the demon. An apparent feint, instead of pouncing the demon, it delivers its healing magic into the knight.

Std: Summon Monster VIII for Leonal Agathoian; Leonal casts heal and delivers to Hendric. +140 hp. It doesn't look like it needs take an AoO moving into to deliver, but let me know if he does.

Peter sees the six sharp longswords and wards himself and all his allies from potential critical blows by shifting their forms into Particulate before the blades can land.

The targets’ physical forms undergo a bizarre transformation. They look and function normally, but are composed of countless particles that separate and reconnect to remain whole. Each target gains fast healing 2 and is immune to bleed damage, critical hits, sneak attacks, and other forms of precision damage. Any target can end the spell effect on itself as a swift action; the target then regains 5d6 hit points and can attempt an additional saving throw against any one disease or poison affecting it (at the original save DC), ending that disease or poison with a successful saving throw.

knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 34 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 34 + 2 = 48

I believe Kostchtchie to be a demon lord of giants, and thus unlikely to come visit us here on the mortal plane. Where that to happen, other deities would take offense. That said, this is Nazalimora, a famed and mighty representative. I believe our knight, and our Molly revel in such challenges, although this foe is formidable.

Special attacks, defenses, SQ, SLA

Work has been very hectic, but hopefully done with that. I'm here!

I'm good on a dismissal. Anyone disagree? Poor dear, he really served his purpose in grappling Illivorr.

I'm not certain what to do then. Protection from evil??? Anyone have other suggestions?

My apologies. So my phone, where I usually check to see if I need to post new stuff, still hasn't been fixed.

After the will save, Peter would have used arcane sight to try to figure out of there is something, perhaps a magic jar causing this effect.

will: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (2) + 24 = 26

I think my earlier counterspell means I didn't use my reroll on fort save? If so, definitely using it here

will: 1d20 + 24 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 24 + 4 = 41

I'm here, glad website woes are gone

Peter sees that she is bound by Dear and waits to see what actions she can take, now that she is no longer paralyzed, and merely grappled. He becomes invisible again and shifts 5' for good measure.

Grappled is typically pretty debihilating for a caster, but she could still use a death curse or forced reincarnation hex. I don't have any good counters remaining, so hopefully whoever has to save makes it.

I believe that is correct that Peter see invisibility is defeated by Mind Blank, so Peter probably would have become visible once countering.

to the best of my knowledge, I'm immediately before her in initiative thanks to the readied counterspell going off, so my second action would paralyze her immediately before her turn. So while she loses that turn, she'd get her to save for that round immediately.

fort: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (3) + 21 = 24
fort: 1d20 + 21 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 21 + 4 = 31 Folio Reroll

Round 1 Peter: If she is a spellcaster, Peter would have readied a counterspell. With his knowledge, Peter would prefer to know powerful spells she is famous for casting, any special attacks/defenses.

Peter readies to counter her spell, should it come down against them.

greater dispel magic, dispel check: 1d20 + 15 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 15 + 4 = 37 Hopefully that prevents some pathfinder deaths

Round 2 Peter

Well, if we're opening with a showstopper, I'll make this for my entry

Peter begins to chant and gesture, as a string of light forms in his hands, he stretches it out into a web and then directs it throws it directly at Ilivorr, where it wraps around her body as it coalesces into solid glowing golden chain of light. DC 31 reflex or paralyzed. He also quickly casts haste on his allies.

reflex: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17 Peter falls prone, but flying so maybe that's not the end of the world

Any knowledge check? If it is a woman than a trivial local, but flying is not something women usually do.

Knowledge (History, Engineering, Geography, Nobility): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (6) + 23 = 29 Knowledge (Arcana, Dungoneering, Local, Nature Religion, Planes) have +11 more

Happily!

Pete does so.

Sorry, work has been crazy lately, and it doesn't look to get any better soon

Peter ponders all he has divined here and confirms, As ready as we'll be.

Maybe we need more pieces?

Peter starts casting prestidigitation liberally to help.

Eaten posts are the absolute worst, especially when GMing. Sorry to hear that

As far as the breath weapon I was worried it would hit all of us, delaying the combat doesn't seem like a worthwhile tactic. So I guess just the glitterdust followed by our team finishing the fight.

Peter says Anyone have any cold iron? I know an Azata who'd be happy to drive it into the beast's heart.

If Molly fails her save, the Azata still probably has time to dump a few heals only Molly before delivering the CdG

As an alternate thought, if a wall of wind won't work against the breath weapon, Peter could summon a leonal agathion instead and use a wall of force to block it instead.

Or if none of these ideas work glitterdust is always an option.

The Azata starts playing her harp with a battle ballard. +2 inspire courage.
knowledge: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (14) + 34 = 48

Special Attacks, SLA, Special Defenses, SQ: I'm assuming I learn it has a breath weapon. If I think a wind wall will stop his breath weapon, I do the following. Otherwise Peter will just cast a glitterdust DC 27 at it

fort save: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (20) + 19 = 39

Peter himself summons a Bralani and instructs him quietly. When it breaths, use your [url=https://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/w/wind-wall] wall of wind[/url to stop it

A bit like that, but the Linnorom has real tooth and claw, both supernatural and otherwise, so, tis a fair fight. Peter agrees, recalling the Shogoth didn’t stand long after a single blow from Hendric’s lance, falling to a hail of arrows from Wynn and Molly.

The azata starts a battle song on her harp, encouraging the heroes to engage the Linnorom before she returns to the celestial realm.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it.

Illusionary Peter joins the cadre of those who would go wake the dragon as the real peter once again becomes invisible.

Interesting, I wonder how they prevented it from consuming all Yith... Peter starts to pontificate before remembering there are pressing matters.

Well, it seems we can all fly, go engage that Linnorm before it sees us! Peter says as he and the Azata dump healing spells into Hendric.

CSW: 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (2, 4, 4) + 7 = 17

Peter converts one of his spells into a healing one as well before the knight charges off into battle.

Invisibility -> CMW
CMW: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (6, 7) + 10 = 23

Assuming Wynn’s arrows don’t down it.

Pete move 40’ closer, swiftly shifts the final distance to Hendric and casts dimension door as requested.

The azata moves up and heals Hendric.

csw: 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (6, 7, 4) + 7 = 24

It never hurts to make things sparkly

Peter throws some glitter on it, hoping it may miss the knight.

Glitterdust, DC 27 will

The Azata looks keen to charge in, but Peter countermands that Keep playing that harp! +16 long sword 2d6+13 isn't getting it done here lol

If I read the special ability correctly, we all made our saves from the performance last round and are all immune, if so, the Azata could switch to inspire courage for +2 hit/damage. That would be increased on Hendric's charge as well

Round 1
Peter tries to remember what he knows of the Shoggoth.
knowledge(dung): 1d20 + 34 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 34 + 2 = 41
special attacks, defenses, SQ and SLA in that order

maddening cacophony of sounds

fort save against fatigued: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (17) + 19 = 36

perform: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36 Any creature within 30 feet of the Lilliend (including herself) that is affected by a sonic or language-dependent magical attack may use the Lilliend's Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform check result proves to be higher.

Round 2

Peter does his best to heed Molly's warning by warding Sentry from this foe, casting Freedom of Movement on the noble steed.

If you'd prefer it on Hendric instead, Peter would do that.

Peter also takes one.

Peter detects magic and uses his considerable knowledge to answer Hendirc’s question.

How many statues are there? The holy smite is a 20’ radius blast, so can probably hit a few. If its that room to the south, it looks like 6 20’ areas covers it all, so
Darkness falls to the light! The Deva proclaims before proceeding to channel holy zeal into the columns until every last one crumbles.
Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 1, 4, 6, 6, 6) = 32
Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 1, 6, 6, 4, 6) = 34 section 1

Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1) = 12
Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 4) = 23
Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 6, 2, 2, 5, 5) = 26 section 6

Peter takes 1 minute to prepare another summon monster VII spell and a death ward spell. He casts the summon, casts deathward upon it and sends it forth to smite the columns.

The summon lasts 17 rounds, so we'll see how its first holy smite goes I guess?

The Deva is only immune to death effects, energy drain, and the effects of positive and negative energy planes' effects. Not negative energy necessarily.

Death ward does give immunity. I could summon another Deva and give it death ward, if that's the route we want to go.

Linnorm's are famous for their curses. I'm fine either way people want to go.

I can summon something, or I can cast death ward on someone. Let me know what people want to do.

Lets get Dear to try that. His mage hand is quite a bit better than mine

Work is very busy right now, apologies if my posting is delayed.

Peter thinks carefully on all he hears and declines to comment.

If we’re going the direction with electricity in the air I’ll cast communal resist energy first. Otherwise I don’t have any suggestions. Peter is a fairly versatile scout as long as no antimagic stuff is encountered, but I find splitting the party a bad idea before you throw pbp into the equation.

The angel keeps up his holy smites with zeal until the scourge is ended. Fortunately, with such stalwart allies, this doesn't take long.

He turns to the pathfinders, Justice, a demon banished, and you victorious. Let me reverse any harm it caused, and he is able to soothe their wounds before returning to the celestial realm.

cure serious wounds, Purs: 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (8, 7, 2) + 7 = 24
cure serious wounds, Gillian: 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (7, 3, 5) + 7 = 22
cure serious wounds, Gillian: 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (4, 4, 5) + 7 = 20
cure serious wounds, Gillian: 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (5, 7, 4) + 7 = 23
cure serious wounds, Hendric: 3d8 + 7 ⇒ (1, 7, 7) + 7 = 22

@Wynn, Spell Pen would help. Dweomer Essence also helps for important spells.

I guess the undead aren't really a threat and the Deva won't be able to pierce SR with a whopping caster level of 7. Flaming greatsword it is.

The angel flies forth to deliver his holy sword against the foe.

good subtype if that helps with DR and a magic sword

Charge, power attack: 1d20 + 19 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 19 + 2 - 4 = 37damage: 2d6 + 10 + 12 ⇒ (6, 6) + 10 + 12 = 34 fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3
confirm Charge, power attack: 1d20 + 19 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 19 + 2 - 4 = 35crit damage: 2d6 + 10 + 12 ⇒ (2, 1) + 10 + 12 = 25

I typically can post within 24. Please feel free to delay me generally if not (and my summons can do whatever you'd like).

Unfortunately the Deva is pretty unlikely to hit with his flaming greatsword, so holy smite is his best bet.

The SR 25 from holy aura applies to Gillian, so the demon needs to overcome that.

The angel moves back to freely cast and brings forth the holy smite once more. provoking

SR check against demon: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

demon damage: 7d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 4, 5, 1, 2, 5) = 27
undead damage: 3d8 ⇒ (3, 6, 8) = 17 Will DC 18 for half and negate blind

Peter closed his eyes, so he doesn't need to roll. The gaze attack was described as 'death stealing' FWIW the Deva has Defensive Abilities nature’s pacifism, protected life force; DR 10/evil; Immune acid, cold, electricity, fire, death effects, energy drain, petrification; SR 21 if that helps him
fort save, if required: 1d20 + 14 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 14 + 4 = 21

Peter hears no cries for help and assumes his side is doing ok.

The Deva calls in his angelic voice," You should not exist, let me rectify that!" as a blinding holy smite explodes upon them.

damage: 3d8 ⇒ (3, 7, 7) = 17 20' radius hits all of them, but not the demon Will DC 18 for half and negate blind

In case anyone is unfamiliar with holy aura it has the following benefits.

First, each warded creature gains a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saves. Unlike protection from evil, this benefit applies against all attacks, not just against attacks by evil creatures.

Second, each warded creature gains spell resistance 25 against evil spells and spells cast by evil creatures.
Third, the abjuration protects the recipient from possession and mental influence, just as protection from evil does.
Finally, if an evil creature succeeds on a melee attack against a creature warded by a holy aura, the offending attacker is blinded (Fortitude save negates, as blindness/deafness, but against holy aura’s save DC).

I suspect Sentry will see the largest benefit (to its saving throw), but it could help your AC/saves (and you get SR to boot).

fort: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (15) + 19 = 34

Peter closes his eye, not needing to make any attacks. He summons an angel to be his eyes.

fort: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (12) + 19 = 31

A Movanic deva appears and casts holy aura on the pathfinders, warding their life forces from potential harm.

Knowledge (Arcana, Dungoneering, Local, Nature Religion, Planes: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (14) + 34 = 48

Knowledge (Arcana, Dungoneering, Local, Nature Religion, Planes: 1d20 + 34 ⇒ (3) + 34 = 37

special attacks, special defenses, SQ, spell-like abilities in that order

I'm assuming dispelling an illusion isn't an offensive action and thus I'm still invisible. If it is, Peter would do things differently.

This illusion is doing us no favors... Peter quickly works to bring it down, dispelling its magic

dispel magic check: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (10) + 13 = 23

Peter is intrigued by the aura taking out the Cassisian, but he stays invisible waiting for his allies to engage the source of the evil aura, assuming that the knight will engage if no one else does first.

Seems a good a plan as any. Do you have any wands you'd like used on those wounds Molly? Surely you'd like to be ready for the next challenge?

Peter is sad to see his Azata sent back home before she could tend to all of the party's wounds, but glad that she was able to help somewhat.

He sees his allies have this well in hand, and wouldn't want to spoil the knight or archers good fun.

Azata originally had 87 hp (per augmented)

fort save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14 fort save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

The Azatas wings stop beating and she falls to the ground.
