+2 v Evil

"Yes, let's keep moving with purpose."
Tomaru votes to kill them quickly and leave.
Tomaru gives Praxim a Bit of Luck. "Finish them quickly an we'll go one way while the deva goes the other."
Holy Aura: Holy Aura
School abjuration [good]; Level cleric 8, oracle 8 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Casting ------------------------------------------------------------------- Casting Time 1 standard action Components V, S, F (a tiny reliquary worth 500 gp) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Effect ------------------------------------------------------------------- Range 20 ft. Targets one creature/level in a 20-ft.-radius burst centered on you Duration 1 round/level (D) Saving Throw see text; Spell Resistance yes (harmless) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Description --------------------------------------------------------------------- A brilliant divine radiance surrounds the subjects, protecting them from attacks, granting them resistance to spells cast by evil creatures, and causing evil creatures to become blinded when they strike the subjects. This abjuration has four effects. 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 22 save negates, as blindness/deafness).
"Oh hells." Tomaru casts Summon Monster as a standard action. A monadic deva appears.
The angelic being flies up at the guards. "Feel the force of the Hierarch of Bells." She swings at one.
"Right. Subterfuge. By the way, Thordak, it's this way." Let's keep as far from the keep as we can.
Of course we need to find a base. While we explore, we should also designate two or three other locations as backups and meeting places to keep our main base as secure as possible.
"Don't those sihedron thing allow the big ugly to control us or see through our eyes or something? Let's not use them if we don't have to." Tomaru gets Thordak's attention. "If we get into a fight.... when we get into a fight, escape needs to be foremost in our minds. A prolonged battle will only get us killed." "But standing around here will only get us caught by the next patrol that comes by. Let's carefully make our way down there and see if we can get some revenge for Aurora."
"Look at the buildings. Not everyone down there are giants. And we only need to kill the leader. The rest of them will fall into infighting and soon cease to be problem." Or so Tomaru hopes.
Tomaru looks out over the vista. "That's rather imposing. Anyone want to turn back, now would probably be your last chance to do so." He begins marking the nearby rock with his glyph- an homage to Desna and a sign to any in the know that his travels brought him here. Once finished, he reaches for Lym's hand.
"But they started it."
Tomaru gives Bit of Luck to Praxim while trying to put a little distance between himself and the giants.
The two elementals, Harcane and Chaurik make their way back to the top. Quorthane continues to pound into the giants.
Dimension Door it is.
With rocks raining down on them, Tomaru calls forth greater earth elementals. They rise out of the ground and come from the wall providing cover to the giants to give them something immediate to worry about. How much space does Tomaru think is up there after the addition of the elementals? Is there enough to have Rexil in between me and the giants with Praxim behind me? If so, then Dimension Door us up there. Otherwise cast Fly on Rexil to allow him to get in close if he wants.
The trio of elementals will try to bury one of the tiny giants in an avalanche of stoney fists. Harcane
Awesome Blow:
As a standard action, the creature may perform an awesome blow combat maneuver. If the creature’s maneuver succeeds against a corporeal opponent smaller than itself, its opponent takes damage (typically slam damage plus Strength bonus) and is knocked flying 10 feet in a direction of the attacking creature’s choice and falls prone. The attacking creature can only push the opponent in a straight line, and the opponent can’t move closer to the attacking creature than the square it started in. If an obstacle prevents the completion of the opponent’s move, the opponent and the obstacle each take 1d6 points of damage, and the opponent is knocked prone in the space adjacent to the obstacle. Chaurik
Quorthane
Possible flanks involved.
Tomaru casts Summon Monster 8. "Stay close. He calls to Praxima and Rexil. "We're going to go meet some new friends."
Tomaru conjures Hero's Feast for the group in the morning. "This all started with goblins? Well we're a long way from goblins."
"Aren't these the angry people? Infighting is probably the norm. They won't even consider the possibility that something's wrong until we've taken out two of them."
"Yes. I remember well the Lady Myriana and her love. Both Lym and I wield powerful magics, but that day, I witnessed a power greater than any other before." Tomaru looks lovingly at Lym. "Their example inspired me to pursue the one I desired. I think things are going well." He smiles. Tomaru starts to turn to Svevenka, but keeps his eyes on Lymfor a moment longer. "And if you know us, Lady of the Fens, then you know of our service to the Myriana and why we are here now. So I ask, will you help us?"
"And I know I have eyes."
Tomaru takes the time to cast his daily spells, though they don't have time for Hero's Feast. He waits for Lym and walks out.
Tomaru will definitely explore. He'll look for interesting things and good places to meditate and pray.
If we need to fast, then we fast. We'll make camp using Tiny Hut or Secure Shelter (is there wood or something to warm the Secure Shelter). Tomaru will use Endure Elements to help against the cold too.
Let's rest here. The rest of our journey will prove strenuous and we don't know if or how magic will be effected. In the morning, we can start off again.
Tomaru, faithful of Desna that he is, wishes to continue on now, but Lym advises resting after their eventful day.
Does the storm abate too> Both Lym and Tomaru wish to look at the pages to better know the route. "Do we rest here or move closer to our destination?"
The divine starknife strikes out at the ascending wendigo.
Tomaru directs his spiritual weapon at the thing.
He'll then give Thordak a Bit of Luck (roll twice to hit taking the better result)
Tomaru casts Spiritual Weapon. "I guess the storm has finally caught up to us." Is Control Winds still active?
"Stay mindful of that storm. I think, in time, we're going to have to answer its incessant knocking."
Use wand of cure light on Thordak.
Going with Air Walk again. Will have to use a Pearl of Power. Also renew Resist Energy for the group. Will have to use a Pearl of Power.Also, did I miss something? Is everyone healed up?
Are we still under the effects of Prayer?
Tomaru will do as asked and channel energy. Twice.
Did the ghost take the penalty for Prayer?
Tomaru goes to Rexil and patches him up some.
In that case, Tomaru will cast Prayer, which affects everyone within 40' of him. Prayer: You bring special favor upon yourself and your allies while bringing disfavor to your enemies. You and each of your allies gain a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, while each of your foes takes a -1 penalty on such rolls.
Are Rexil's and Praxim's hit points correct?
Sorry real life and all that. Tomaru becomes distracted by the curvy form of his girlfriend, but is jolted back to the present by the ghost's attack.
Tomaru prepares to move over to Thordak and cast Heal on him.
Don't forget the +4 from Heroe's Feast.
Tomaru expects Thordak and Praxim to take care of this creature. He'll stay ready to rescue them if they don't, though.
Thordak, Rexil, Praxim don't forget you currently have Resist Energy 30 from Tomaru.
"Can you get back on your own?" Tomaru asks Everon. "I can only take five."
"Do you think we should bury him here next to his brother and in that way bring them together or do we bring him back to the shack?"
"There! Just up ahead."
If Rexil will accept it, Tomaru will use Air Walk on the group.
How well will Air Walk work in conjunction with Control Winds in these conditions? Assuming Everon and Lym have their movement covered, that leaves nearly 40 minutes for each of Praxim, Thordak, Rexil, and Tomaru. Air Walk:
PFS Legal Air Walk Source PRPG Core Rulebook pg. 239 School transmutation [air]; Level alchemist 4, cleric 4, druid 4, hunter 4, investigator 4, occultist 4, oracle 4, warpriest 4 Casting Casting Time 1 standard action Components V, S, DF Effect Range touch Target creature (Gargantuan or smaller) touched Duration 10 min./level Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance yes (harmless) Description The subject can tread on air as if walking on solid ground. Moving upward is similar to walking up a hill. The maximum upward or downward angle possible is 45 degrees, at a rate equal to half the air walker's normal speed. A strong wind (21+ miles per hour) can push the subject along or hold it back. At the end of a creature's turn each round, the wind blows the air walker 5 feet for each 5 miles per hour of wind speed. The creature may be subject to additional penalties in exceptionally strong or turbulent winds, such as loss of control over movement or physical damage from being buffeted about. Should the spell duration expire while the subject is still aloft, the magic fails slowly. The subject floats downward 60 feet per round for 1d6 rounds. If it reaches the ground in that amount of time, it lands safely. If not, it falls the rest of the distance, taking 1d6 points of damage per 10 feet of fall. Since dispelling a spell effectively ends it, the subject also descends in this way if the air walk spell is dispelled, but not if it is negated by an antimagic field. You can cast air walk on a specially trained mount so it can be ridden through the air. You can train a mount to move with the aid of air walk (counts as a trick; see Handle Animal skill) with 1 week of work and a DC 25 Handle Animal check.
Another option is that Lym can cast Communal Mount, but how well will the mounts function in the very cold conditions?
