Ah, just your typical crew, making sure the Pathfinder Society maintains it overall neutral alignment. Haha.

Yes, thanks, Brian. That was really fun!

"Lady, I agree with the others. You've gone through all of the trouble to get this information. Now, you must use it."

Profession (reporter): 1d20 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 4 + (1) = 11

Oh man, this is a tough one. I think I'm voting revenge--anyone can watch over the archives and I'd rather that Zarta be out shaking up the political situation. I'd miss having her giving out missions, though.

I'm fine with it. I'm also okay if I need to whack him with the umbrella a few times.

Nellie will slip past Dasha, move up to the devil, and attack.

Haste, studied target, inspire courage (+3), arcane strike, aligned umbrella
umbrella: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 14 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 31 for
Good/Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 15

I'll attack even if he ends up grappling or tripping me.

Nellie will try to get in across from Dasha and ready an action to attack if the devil attempts to cast a spell.

Zarta continues performing.

I haven't acted yet this round. I think maybe Leventi is in the wrong spot, though.

AoO: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 20 for Good/Bludgeoning (sneak attack): 1d6 + 2d6 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + (4, 4) + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 25

Edit: For heaven's sake. I'm going to use my re-roll on that attack.

AoO reroll (stars): 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 26

Nellie will close with the blind devil using her hasty speed and attack once. Zarta can continue performing.

Haste, studied target, inspire courage (+3), arcane strike, aligned umbrella
umbrella 1: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 26 for Good/Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 13

Woo hoo! Thanks, Alex. The scrolls are difficult terrain, right?

Nellie moves around, out of the lashing scrolls. "We have you now!"

Acrobatics (tumble, heroism): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

Provided I make it over there. I'm going to move through the hellhound's space so I continue to threaten, in case he attacks with his whip.

Haste, studied target, inspire courage (+3), arcane strike, aligned umbrella
umbrella 1: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 12 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 20 for Good/Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 15

Zarta calls to the companions, "You have him against the ropes now."
Continue to use inspire courage (+3)

At the paracountess' urging, Nellie continues to attack.

Haste, studied target, inspire courage (+3), arcane strike, aligned umbrella
umbrella 1: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 19 for Good/Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 12,

umbrella (confrim?): 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 35 for Good/Bludgeoning (crit): 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 14

Yes, that's a fine place for the hound.

"I don't mind being up-close and personal. Bless away!"

If he's grappling me, he needs to move me adjacent to him.

(And yes, the grapple rules are dumb.)

Zarta moves out of the area of silence and begins her bardic performance. "Come, my sweetlings, this washed-up devil is no match for you."

Nellie, bostered by this encouragement, attacks Leventi.
"Unhand me!"

Grappled, haste, studied target, inspire courage (+3), arcane strike
umbrella: 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 1 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 12 - 2 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 26 for Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 14,

Sure, we should have her start singing next round. Normally I would say align the bow, but I don't know what's going on with the contracts grabbing everything. Do you do damage with the whip?

Zarta shoots her crossbow at the devil.
8 good damage

Nellie stands, studies the devil as a swift action, and tries to approach him, acrobatically.

Acrobatics (tumble): 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 13 + 2 = 28

If I succeed, I'll get up in his face. If I fail, CMD is 25, due to haste.

I figured damage would be best this round from Zarta, as it doesn't seem like anyone will be full-attacking.

Could Nellie get DR?

Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 1d6 + 6 - 4 ⇒ (18) + (3) + 6 - 4 = 23

Gotcha, sorry. It is usually a very safe bet that I'll fail my Will saves.

Due to Press to the Wall, I flank with the statue. I'll study as a free action if I hit.

Attack: Flanking, Haste, Heroism, Prone. Damage: Arcane Strike, Study, Sneak Attack
AoO Umbrella: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 14 + 2 + 1 + 2 - 4 = 21 for B/Magic: 1d6 + 5 + 1 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 + 2 + (6, 1) = 21

Drat. I assumed he was flat-footed. I think I'm prone in half of the games I'm playing right now.

Reflex: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 2 = 31
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + (3) + 6 = 14
Will: 1d20 + 6 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 - 4 + 2 = 24

Would he have moved past me to get there? I definitely would have taken an AoO.

Excellent

Using her enhanced speed, Nellie will charge across the room and attack the devil.

Haste, Charge, Arcane Strike, Heroism. If I hit, I'll study him as a free action.
umbrella: 1d20 + 14 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 14 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 34 for B/Magic: 1d6 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 + 2 + (5, 3) = 19

Did you say we can walk across the middle, or is there a depression there?

Brilliant.

I'm good to go through.

Nellie would also go over and prepare to bop Antonaides, non-lethally, if he starts to cast a spell.

Could we have Zarta do bardic performance this round?

Nellie steps in, arcane energy glows around her umbrella and hatpin, and she attacks with magical speed.

Heroism, Studied Target, Haste, Bardic Performance, Arcane Strike
umbrella 1: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 3 = 36 for Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 13

hatpin: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 3 = 28 for Piercing: 1d4 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 15
umbrella haste: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 3 = 38 for Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 12

Hurray! I was worried I was going to be stunned/paniced/petrified.

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Will Save: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 4 = 7

Nellie will step forward, activate arcane strike, study the creature as a move action, and ready an attack if it comes within range.

I forgot to factor in my "We're in Hell" penalties. My result should be 4 lower.

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Still concentrating on detect secret doors.

Let's go east. Nellie will continue to concentrate on the spell.

Knowledge (history): 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1d6 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 + (1) - 4 = 15
Perception: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 11 + 2 - 4 = 12
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1d6 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 2 + (2) - 4 = 7
Bleh.

Nellie would cast detect secret doors while in the first room, as this place seems highly suspicious.

Why don't we do the bear's endurance, and heroism on the 4 of us? Then, she still has one spell left.

After spellcasting is complete, Nellie follows Antonaides.

Remind me, do we know what type of devil Leventi is?

Knowledge (history): 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (7) + 6 + (4) = 17

"Well, let's prepare, then bring this devil to justice, such as it is."

Any indication on the contracts what type of place they will go to?

Should we do the bear's endurance now? I think it will last 11 minutes. Also, I wouldn't mind getting heroism from Zarta.

CLW: 5d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 6, 3, 8, 5) + 5 = 31

Nellie will attack blue.

(If you wouldn't mind, I'd rather do it before the aqueous orb goes off. If not, would you factor in the cover, please?)

"You should know better than to challenge us!"

Nellie will step over near Antonaides and full-attack Ophelia.
Studied Target, Arcane Strike

Some of that is precision. Let me know if you want me to separate it out in the future.

I'm in favor or 2 and 3, though I'll let counsel execute.

Can Antonaides summon as a standard or does the hellhound appear next round?

I think he has sacred summons.

Nellie attacks the figure in the alley.
Studied Target, Haste, Arcane Strike

umbrella: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 12 + 2 + 1 = 32 for Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 11, hatpin: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 2 + 1 = 22 for Piercing: 1d4 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 9, umbrella: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 17 for Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 13, hatpin: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 19 for Piercing: 1d4 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 10.
umbrella (haste): 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 2 + 1 = 33 for Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 9

"Well, I suppose it was only a matter of time until someone tried to stop us."

Nellie moves up and around the corner, drawing a pin the size of a stiletto out of her hat as she goes, and hefting her umbrella in the other hand.

Rounding the corner, she sees blue and attempts to give the ambusher what for.

Study as a swift action, attack with umbrella.

Umbrella: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20 for Bludgeoning: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 and Sneak Attack!: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

"I'm not sure how I feel about trafficking in souls. Winning one in a fair-ish fight is one thing, but I don't want to get in the habit of bargaining for these things."

Quite the conundrum.

"I suppose if we confront Leventi we'll be dealing with her too, in a way."

I'm fine with moving on.

"It does seem like we have sufficient evidence against Leventi, but perhaps some personal testimony would be more...damning." Nellie just can't help herself, and chuckles at her own joke. "That said, this is Hell, and I'm sure the paper evidence we found will be more convincing in these parts than the tragic stories of some knights."

I'll defer to everyone's judgement about whether we go see the knights. Now that we have Erecura's protection, it doesn't seem like the timeline is so tight.

"Who would have thought that reporting would involve so much paperwork? I usually just sneak in somewhere, then write an exposé!"
