"Don't waste your spells against them: they are immune to all but cold and water, though electricity slows them. As does this:" He gestures in the direction of the 4 golems and wraps them in magic.

Cast slowVI on all of them. DC 39

Recall Knowledge (Crafting): 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (13) + 27 = 40

Telvir tries to recall the weaknesses of such golems.

"This is all so disgusting and wasteful," Telvir sniffs. "Aily, would you take care of that?"

Would telekinetic haul help? I can move 80 Bulk. And it would be extremely funny to do it just as Humerus goes to lift it.

"No need to spread this filth around," Telvir agrees with Castel. "We can't have Gebbites wandering around mouthing such blasphemies."

"A plan as dangerous as it is wise, your majesty," Telvir bows before Geb, not thrilled about venturing into such a place with his undead apotheosis still so recent.

Hmmm. Gotta find a place to hide my soul!

"Well, that's certainly very interesting," Telvir muses. "Wonderful of the creature to give us what we need. We should consider its fate...carefully."

"Come, we should not be hasty about this. Let's retire to our lodgings."

Telvir waves at the fallen eye and it floats across the room to him to land in his hand.

He ponders the orb.

Fortitude (Implosion): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35 75
Fortitude (Arctic Rift): 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 36 48

The cold slows down Telvir, but he unleashes a blast of debris at the lich.

Amped TKP: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (3) + 28 = 31 for bludgeoning: 22d6 + 18 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 6, 6, 6, 4, 1, 3, 2, 4, 4, 1, 5) + 18 = 90

Telvir opens up to his full potential and unleashes a wave of force at the lich.

◇Unleash Psyche, Cast ◆◆◆force barrage VI

force: 15d4 + 15 + 18 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 1, 3, 1, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4, 4, 2, 2, 2) + 15 + 18 = 74

Telivr boosts Humerus into the air and sends a blast of force at the lich.

Cast fly, cast ◆ force barrage VII

force: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1, 2, 3) + 4 = 12

Will: 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (17) + 29 = 46
Fortitude: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (14) + 21 = 35
Poison: 6d8 ⇒ (5, 4, 5, 2, 6, 6) = 28

Telvir handily avoids being cowed by the lich, but breaths in a mouthful of poison.

He flies up out of the cloud and casts a spell, allowing Aily to take to the air.

Fly, Cast fly

"Divide the spoils quickly," Telvir advises. "We have a lich to destroy."

Smoke comes up to lick his hand, and he wreaths it in void energy to heal the dog.

Cast malignant sustenance to heal Smoke. Despite Telvir's impatience, we probably need some Treat Wounds time, I think.

Telvir peers into the possible futures of the target and shares his vision with the group. His psychic power swirls around him as he hurls some debris at the dragon.

Cast true target, Unleash Psyche, Cast amped telekinetic projectile

TKP: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (18) + 28 = 46 or TKP: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (15) + 28 = 43 for bludgeoning: 22d6 + 18 ⇒ (1, 5, 3, 6, 3, 4, 6, 4, 1, 3, 6, 5, 1, 5, 1, 3, 1, 1, 6, 5, 5, 6) + 18 = 99

I can get everyone with true target. Roll twice and take the better for your first attack against this guy.

Reflex (Telvir): 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (20) + 25 = 45
Reflex (Smoke): 1d20 + 30 ⇒ (3) + 30 = 33

Telvir shrugs off the dragon's breath, though Smoke is not so lucky.
Smoke: 78/157

He gestures at the ground beneath the dragon and skeletal arms erupt, slashing and grabbing at the creature! He also casts guidance on Aily.

Cast grasping grave, cast guidance

slashing: 14d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 2, 6, 5, 2, 2, 5, 2, 6, 3, 4, 1, 5) = 49 DC 38 Reflex

"And what does this do to the defenses of Yled? This is a betrayal of the king and a weakening of our whole country," Telvir avows.

"We have no quarrel with you, then, but Kelganth has taken actions to disrupt the stability of Geb," Telvir answers. "Who is this Bound One, and what is the lich doing to it?"

Will (Gr. Resolve): 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (1) + 29 = 30
Will (Gr. Resolve: HP): 1d20 + 29 ⇒ (3) + 29 = 32
For heaven's sake. Frightened 1.

"We have been sent by the puissant and sovereign King Geb, to investigate misuse of positive energy and creation of banned substances. Tell me: What do you know of such things."

Telvir keeps his voice as even as possible.

"Let's patch up and push into the lower levels," Telvir urges. "Time to get to the bottom of this shadow ash production."

The elf smirks. It's possible Humerus is a bad influence.

"Careful, the scythe still has a bite," Telvir warns the others.

TKP, Command (Strike, Strike)

TKP: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (13) + 28 = 41 for slashing: 10d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 6, 2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 4, 4) = 38

jaws: 1d20 + 28 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 28 - 5 = 43 for piercing: 3d8 + 9 ⇒ (8, 1, 6) + 9 = 24

Telvir gives a desultory wave at the giant, flinging a shard of debris at it, then orders Smoke to attack.

TKP, Command (Stride, Strike)

TKP: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (6) + 28 = 34 for slashing: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 4, 1, 2, 1, 4, 6, 4, 6) = 34

jaws: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (13) + 28 = 41 for piercing: 3d8 + 9 ⇒ (4, 5, 4) + 9 = 22

Telvir gestures at a piece of rubble and it tumbles through the air at Sorvinaesen.

Amped TKP, Command (Strike, Strike)

TKP: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (14) + 28 = 42 for bludgeoning: 18d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 1, 3, 5, 2, 2, 5, 2, 5, 5, 1, 1, 6, 6, 3, 3) = 58

Telvir continues to wrack the giants' minds, and commands Smoke to keep attacking.

Cast fear III (DC 38), Command (Strike, Strike)

jaws: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (2) + 28 = 30 for piercing: 3d8 + 9 ⇒ (1, 7, 6) + 9 = 23
jaws: 1d20 + 28 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 28 - 5 = 31 for piercing: 3d8 + 9 ⇒ (6, 3, 2) + 9 = 20

Telvir surrounds himself with the majesty of a Blood Lord and commands Smoke to attack the seer.

Cast overwhelming presence, Command (Stride, Strike)
DC 38

jaws: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (16) + 28 = 44 for piercing: 3d8 + 9 ⇒ (6, 3, 3) + 9 = 21

You're the best! I'll update my sheet accordingly. The opera glasses are a little fiddly. I think we should sell the shroud, too.

"Hmm. How to get there without fighting our way through a series of tedious ash giants," Telvir muses. "Thoughts, Aily?"

"There, Humerus. Grab." Telvir instructs the skeletal wrestler.

He shares a brief vision of the future with the team, then attacks with a piece of debris from the street.

True Target (Aily, Humerus, Telvir, Ceceka), Amped telekinetic projectile

TKP: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (16) + 28 = 44 or true target: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (12) + 28 = 40 for slashing: 17d6 + 5 ⇒ (6, 4, 4, 6, 6, 2, 1, 3, 2, 2, 6, 3, 1, 2, 5, 1, 1) + 5 = 60

"The giant we are meeting," Telivr clarifies, with a sigh. "We'll point him out to you."

"Let's ambush the ash giant," Telvir suggests. "Humerus, grab and hold please, and Aily, let's leave him a bit of blood. I hope that he will have some answers for us."

"When is your next rendezvous with the giant scheduled? We could use time to prepare," Telvir asks.

"Yes, of course. Though if he is a simple currier, we'll be quite disappointed," Telvir nods at the revelation. "Do you have any particularly damning evidence about the Chancellor?"

Telvir is tempted to let the bhuta feast, but the information the shae offers is intruiging.

"We don't appreciate being meddled with," the spellcaster states, plainly. "And you should do your research before initiating such a reckless confrontation. Still: We are here to investigate the shadow ash. Tell us what you know."

Healed slightly, Smoke retreats to a corner of the demiplane.

head aching from over-exeresion, Telvir summons a ghost from the wilds of Geb to fight with the incorporeal foe.

Summon Undead VIII for a bhuta

jaws: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (15) + 24 = 39 for piercing: 2d12 + 13 ⇒ (4, 9) + 13 = 26

Bhuta
AC 30; Fort +18, Ref +24, Will +22
HP 175 (negative healing); Immunities death effects, disease, poison, precision, unconscious; Resistances all damage 10 (except force, ghost touch, or positive; double resistance vs. non-magical); Weaknesses cold iron 5

Telivr finishes paying tribute to the shae and shakes off the remains of the spell, though Smoke is still enthralled.

Will (Resolve): 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (18) + 26 = 44
Smoke: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (3) + 25 = 28
Oof. Smoke at 15/139

Will (Resolve): 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (7) + 26 = 33
Smoke: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (3) + 25 = 28

Telvir grits his teeth as he is forced to bow for the spellcaster. He pays surly tribute 3 times. Smoke bows with his nose in his paws.

"A tedious pun," Telvir sniffs. He casts a spell to bring Ghiasi down to earth and orders Smoke to attack.

Cast falling sky (DC 36), Command (Stride, Strike) Smoke will flank with Aily

jaws: 1d20 + 27 ⇒ (8) + 27 = 35 for piercing: 3d8 + 9 ⇒ (8, 1, 4) + 9 = 22

"Let's get to the bottom of this," Telvir agrees. He whistles for Smoke to follow through the portal.

"So much for appreciation of the theater," Telvir sniffs as the combatants refuse to come to center stage. He unleashes a blast of magic from his still-seething mind.

Round 3/3 for Unleashed Psyche. Cast force barrage on the "Count."

Force: 12d4 + 12 + 14 ⇒ (1, 4, 4, 4, 3, 4, 3, 1, 1, 2, 4, 1) + 12 + 14 = 58

This might be silly, but...

"Oh, you want your big moment for Ghiasi?"

Telvir weaves his magic around the count and the potential star and teleports them to downstage center.

Cast collective transposition DC 36. They can accept it without a save if they want.

Telvir unleashes the most powerful reaches of him mind and fires of a barrage of force projections at the lesser death.

Unleash Psyche, Cast force barrage VII
force: 12d4 + 12 + 14 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 3, 4, 4, 1) + 12 + 14 = 60

"This performance grows over-long," Telvir comments. Hen unleashes a flurry of spellcasting.

Cast true target on the lesser death, cast amped telekinetic projectile

TKP: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (3) + 26 = 29 or true target: 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (15) + 26 = 41 for bludgeoning: 16d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2, 6, 6, 4, 3, 3, 1, 6, 2, 3, 5, 6, 3, 4) = 64

"Time for another actor to enter the field," Telvir mutters as he gestures at the stage.

"What's all this then?" a skeleton clad in the armor of a mercenary hisses from behind the attacker. Fire runs down his sword as he strikes at the assassin.

Animate Dead (fiery graveknight)

flaming greatsword: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (19) + 24 = 43 for slashing: 2d12 + 10 ⇒ (1, 12) + 10 = 23 and fire: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Graveknight

"This could be an opportunity for us: Aily and Humerus, would you do the honors?"

Telvir will volunteer as well if we all need to play along.

In the pre-performance bustle, Telvir approaches Kyril Vonth.

"High Exchequer, I hear it is you who should be congratulated for Yled's firm economic footing in the run-up to this war," he nods politely to the wight, hoping to make a good impression. "I am Telvir Stanton, recently arrived from the capital on orders from our ghostly king."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (8) + 22 = 30

"The association with us will benefit him enough, Humerus," Telvir comments, haughtily. "Time to prepare for the show."

Finally updated my profile:

Constant Levetation (I'm always flying)
Amazing Beastmaster Companion (Smoke is an ever gooder boy)
Skeptic's Defense [reaction] Trigger You are targeted by or are in the area of a mental spell or effect.
You don't believe in any mental twaddle, and you're certainly not afraid of it. You scoff and verbally refute the triggering effect, attempting a counteract check using your Intimidation modifier with a counteract level of half your level rounded up. If you succeed, you ignore the triggering effect, though any other creatures that were also targeted or in the area are still affected. If the source of the effect you successfully counteracted understands your language and has an Intelligence modifier of –3 or higher, that creature becomes stupefied for 1 round.

New Spells: Falling Sky, Spirit Song

"I'm sure your research will be put to good use for the greater glory of Geb," Telvir tells the priest as he leaves.

"Time, I think, for us to interrogate this Ghiasi. Aily, do you have any contacts among the less reputable residents of the city that could arrange a meeting? We could also call in a favor with Kyril Vonth."

"Shadow ash is made from positive energy?" Telvir sneers. "Disgusting."

"Very well. Thank you for being reasonable," Telvir dismisses the graveknight with a nod.

Turning to the priest, he says, "Now, let's settle in, your eminence. You been conducting some rather interesting research in the animation of vessels, it seems."

Telvir looks around for a chair to sit in while he questions the high priest, hoping to put him at least a bit at easy.

"And it might not been considered such an act. Do you care to chance it? Many have tried their luck against us in the past, including some Blood Lords," Telvir warns.
