Diplomacy for Caravan: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Oh yes day job. If you can, make a note of buying a caravan for me please Aeshuura (5PP).

Poor Charau-kas.... I guess they faced the wrong party... Well done folks!

Feliz natal!

Ralklain shots his crossbow at Charau-ka 2:
L.Crossbow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14! Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Btw Shandor, how do you get that +2 (instead of +1) for each missile? I have a sorcerer that could use that.

I've moved Exitium a little so he won't be so vulnerable, since he could not attack anyway.

After the first Charau-ka acts Ralklain moves to get out of cover and casts Daze (DC 12) on the monster who have not acted yet.

Both summoner and Eidolon move east, waiting for the charge to come.

Is Mogrim down?

Sure, Exitium charges the ape north.

Precise Crossbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10! Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Nope!

"WHAT IS COMING?"

That's my valiant warrior Ryscovich!

Goodbye then, X. It was nice to meet you.

My mind told me that someone charging an enemy takes no AoO from it while he passes through it's large reach, but I have not find it in the rules. Have I gone mad?

Assuming the monsters on top are not going to join the battle: (If they are, Exitium will go after them instead)

Ralklain is worried about the large pieces of armor the champion is taking from the Golem. More than that, Shandor's mind might be at risk. He know it's basically impossible for his mundane crossbow to affect the thing, so he tries something else. He waits until his companions deal kill the monster, then moves up to the Golem, commands his partner to attack the champion, and casts Mage Armor on Shandor:
Now!
The TIGAH burst out all claws and teeth to pounce the creature straight in the spine!
Pounce Bite: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13! Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
Pounce Claw: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 2 = 26! Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Pounce Claw: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 2 = 14! Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Confirmation: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 = 12! Damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

If you do not have Spell Resistance you now have Mage Armor Shandor! Kick him in the balls!

The AoO did not hit cause Exitium's AC is 20, for the mage armor cast before the huge door was opened. My bad.

Ralklain steps away from the creature, recharges his bow and shots the remaining charau-ka:
Crossbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9, to no good.

Initiative Order - Round 2
Angazhani Champion
Garret
Charau-ka 2
Exitium
Charau-ka 1
Morgrim <-
Ralklain <-
Ryskovich <-
Shandor (Azlanti Monolith) <-

Ralklain moves to get a better view and shots a bolt at the huge creature.
Light Crossbow: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 5 + 1 = 13! Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Well done kitty!

Ralklain spends his round getting closer to the enemies.

And what about the cube? Yes I've peeked.

"I believe that will lead us to some other place. Stay alert."

I freaking didn't know that, but Exitium is certainly happy for having such a versatile bite! Well done useless cat!

Ralklain also detects magic and tries to identify what exactly is the cube.
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
K.Arcana: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

Ralklain tries to move east and South, without leaving an opening to the skeleton in the north. He drops his crossbow and draws a Morningstar while doing that, and attacks the Skeleton to the south:
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Morningstar: 1d20 ⇒ 17! Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Useless tiger is up front, with me right behind him. I've moved us in the map.

Ralklain also summons light upon his crossbow, which is ready by now. Exitium moves in first, watching carefully the statues, and Ralklain goes a few steps behind.
Knowledge (A/L/G/H/P/N): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Exitium's Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Ralklain's Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (10) + 0 = 10

Are there marks on the floor or is it just the image?

Exitium gets close to Ralklain, that casts Mage Armor on the tiger. The eidolon then walks back to the group and away from the door, leaving Ralklain all alone to open it.
"Sure, let the summoner be the bait..." He says it and swiftly puts the key in the spot, closing his eyes for the possible explosion or light burst.

"Yes, yes!" The summoner retrieves a key from a leather cord at his neck, takes a look at the tiger saying something telepathicaly, then moves to test the key on the door. "You might want to get ready, just in case there's danger on the inside."

If no one has further questions:

The Pathfinders let the newcomers rest for some minutes from the desperate run, having a little chat with Dias on the meantime. They will see what does she want to do with the lot of mercenaries, and help should anything become necessary. Later on, away from the suspicious eyes of the employees, they will get back to the door.

Am I pushing us too much?

Ralklain is somehow worried about their arrival, but he sees the opportunity and thinks that it was best to make some things clear, right after Morgrim speaks what he wish. "You are partially right! Were we the Consortium, you would be out there dying right now, whether you were fellow men or even Consortium zombies. I hope you all learn the lesson, and realize how much trouble the Consortium causes. I'm Ralklain Kiessen, but I'm not the one you will be speaking to. You will be receiving your orders from Captain Dias, after me and my companions have some answers from you. What's your name?"

"Open the gates! Let them in, but stand alert!"

"They are mercenary. They will follow the gold river. If we can pay them to work for us, they will work alright. Beside, we apparently killed their leader, and may do that again if there's another one. Take the head down and the body falters. Let's do this while we're all strong and ready. Then we can handle them if they play the funny ones." He looks at his companions, and already heard Garret would do the same. "Agreed?"

Ralklain detects magic on the door.

We have to open the scroll, right?

The man shakes his head.
"Oh Ralklain, the curse of you life is to face locks... again and again and again..." He turns to his companions. "This is the same pattern of the scroll, isn't it?"

"It looks like you could use some extra help while we're here, right? Cause I believe our mission is finished so, do you need something?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14

"We brought enough food for them to be back to full health and restart working soon." He looks around kinda worried, with his tiger walking beside him. "What happened here?"

Heal: 1d20 ⇒ 9

Ralklain comes to meet the woman, shaking her hand and giving quick statements to hush everybody inside after Shandor.
"Thank you. I hope we did not take long to get here with the supplies. Those are Aspis mercenaries! Let's get inside and let them be, they would have killed us if they managed to get close enough."

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Ralklain inform the others about the scrolls, and takes the +1 Chain Shirt. Since I'm the only one in the group fit to use it.

"I'm ready to move on!"

"Holy God! You look like a christmas tree Shandor! Are you alright?"

Once again the tiger looks after a new meal, and finds Bandit three, having just enough time to go after its throat:
Exitium's PA Bite: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 4 + 1 = 25 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Ralklain goes for the other one, shooting Bandit 4, after recharging his crossbow:
Precise Crossbow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 1 = 23 Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Confirmation: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8 Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Unable to see any enemy from his current position, Exitium circles around the carriage and finally finds a thug, having enough time to deliver a devastating bite:
Exitium's PA Bite: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20! Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Ralklain covers the tiger, moving close to it while drawing his crossbow, and shoots Bandit 3:
Precise Crossbow: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 1 = 14! Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Oh I'm such a child...

Exitium is waiting for the Aspis 2.

Oh Raimondo you're SOOO stupid ^_^ I'll have to reduce your payment.

Whoa, we got a level 3 sorcerer on the team now! This will be a piece of cake!

Ralklain examines the man swiftly, without a moment to lose.
"Hush hush, traveler! We've got company after us, and you would not like to be here when they cross the road! Get up on the caravan or get away, your choice!"

As I said. I am.

The dice favors the wild!

Nice to see another summoner once in a while!

Thanks Aeshuura, a smooth run! Such a pity that none of them were actually a threat to us. Did anyone get hurt?

Well, I'm in! Let's hold the fortress against them and make they think thrice before messing with us again!

Ralklain finishes off the Lizard and the Woman, by the way. Just kidding ^_^ Or maybe not...

Ralklain side steps to get rid of the cover, and shots a bolt with his crossbow on the woman:
Precise Crossbow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24! damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Confirmation: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21! damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9 Nice!

No one said it, so I have the leather tongue on my neck, well hidden under my chain shirt, and the scrollcase under my vest.

"Come toss us in the river!"
