Thanks for running, Engleaktig. I've updated the spreadsheet. =)

"I see an opening," Aeleth says cheerfully as Szangi falls down, leaving himself momentarily exposed for a free strike.

AoO attack roll: 1d20 + 16 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 16 + 1 - 2 = 30
AoO damage roll: 1d6 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 6 = 23

Flurry attack roll: 1d20 + 16 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 16 + 1 - 2 = 33
damage roll: 1d6 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 6 = 22

Flurry attack roll: 1d20 + 16 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 16 + 1 - 2 = 30
damage roll: 1d6 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 6 = 18

With the dragon still in range, Wayreth adjusts his stance, combining the aggressive stance of the pirahna with the coiling stance of the serpent before spinning his body around to deliver two rapid kicks at the dragon's underbelly.

attack roll: 1d20 + 17 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 17 + 1 - 2 = 36
damage roll: 1d6 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 6 = 20

confirmation roll: 1d20 + 17 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (16) + 17 + 1 - 2 = 32
crit damage roll: 1d6 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 6 = 20

attack roll: 1d20 + 17 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 17 + 1 - 2 = 28
damage roll: 1d6 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 6 = 18

Alright, traded in the jingasa for an amulet of mighty fists +1 and a cloak of resistance +1. Stats updated.

Excellent. The main change for me and some of my PFS characters is that they halved the cost of the amulet of mighty fists, but nerfed the jingasa of the fortunate soldier to very questionable usefulness.

I'll do the updates this evening.

Wayreth keeps kicking since the dragon is in range.

attack roll: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 16 + 1 = 34
damage roll: 1d6 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 13

I think we took them out. Do we have any way of grounding that dragon?

Ethendril, I don't think we can reach the dragon in melee since he is flying... I had been hoping we would get one more shopping trip and level up before the final battle, but I guess we'll have to make do with what we have.

GM, since the dragon is biting at us, if I stand beside Ethendril, can I ready an action to kick/punch him when he reaches his head down to bite?

If I can:

attack roll: 1d20 + 16 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 16 + 1 = 35
damage roll: 1d6 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 12

Wayreth steps into a flanking position on the channeling grioth and delivers two quick roundhouse kicks to his head.

attack roll: 1d20 + 15 - 3 ⇒ (17) + 15 - 3 = 29
damage roll: 1d6 + 8 + 9 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 9 + (4, 4) = 30

attack roll: 1d20 + 15 - 3 ⇒ (14) + 15 - 3 = 26
damage roll: 1d6 + 8 + 9 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 9 + (5, 3) = 27

All good, it just means the dragon eats Ethendril before I full attack it.

Oh and I am in snake style btw. =)

Not sure how I got so far from the combat, but between my moves from the previous round and a double move this round. I should be able to reach Ethendril's side this round.

Can I get the result of my disbelieve check first? Hard to know where I want to move when I don't know what's real or not. XD

Wayreth realises that if it looked like the acid came from all around them, it is quite likely that they are right smack in the middle of the illusion. He spends a moment to refocus his mind.

disbelieve: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Which direction did the breath weapon come from and that was the area covered? Based on the area of the cone, we should be able to trace the point of origin.

Ok, that was not what I had in mind, but I guess that kinda works too...

UMD wand of shield: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
UMD wand of divine favour: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Can't move ourselves on the map.

Anyone with a good bluff modifier want to try a bluff check to draw the dragon out?

Eager to strike the creature before it take to the air again, Wayreth adopts the stance of the serpent, then runs up to the creature and strikes.

attack roll: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 2 = 27
damage roll: 1d6 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 4 = 13

snake style if I am attacked: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

Is this thing flying?

attack roll: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 - 2 = 21 +2 if I can get a flank
damage roll: 1d6 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 4 = 11 +2d6 if I can get a flank
sneak attack damage if applicable: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

Wayreth finishes off the first grioth.

Well, at the end of the day, this is the part that matters. =)

It's a little tricky working out tactical movement without a map, which makes it difficult for me since I get about 50% more damage when I am flanking. Are we eschewing maps for the rest of the game? If we are, could you let me know about flanking options when describing what's going on?

Wayreth charges the same grioth as Ethendril,.but from the other side.

attack roll: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 11 - 2 = 24 +2 if I can get a flank
damage roll: 1d6 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 4 = 13 +2d6 if I can get a flank
sneak attack damage if applicable: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7

perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

I am guessing the compulsion effect is not from an evil source or your protection spell would have made you immune in the first place.

"A compulsion to draw his weapon but run towards that platform rather than attack us?" Wayreth thinks to himself as he adopts the snake stance and rushes forward to disarm Ethendril.

CMB: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

"He's being compelled against his will! There's something about that platform he's running towards!"

Is the globe on that platform broken or unbroken?

"What the...Ethendril, wait up! Where are you going?"

sense motive: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

Wayreth will ask Agnes to use his wand on mage armor on him.

The problem with trying to sneak up on a dragon is that they have blindsense and generally high perception scores. Moreover, if it turns out that there are no available places to hide, GM won't even give us a stealth roll. All things considered, we will probably need to play it by ear.

GM, is there any chance of us getting a final level-up before the big battle with the dragon?

Let's go rest then.

Well, since Ethendril beats me in initiative, he calls for her capture before Wayreth potentially kills her. I will still do the damage, but since I am using unarmed attacks, I can and will do it as non-lethal damage.

Wayreth delivers a blow to the back of the alchemist's head, attempting to knock her out cold.

Does this conclude the fight or are we still in initiative?

Er its Dc 16 not 15 for that save...

Sorry Harlis. My bad. The alchemist fails her save, and the party can do whatever they wish.

If her flat-footed AC is 22 or lower, I just did another 40 damage to her. =)

Er its Dc 16 not 15 for that save...

Well, if the alcehmist actually failed his save, then I should be doing a flurry of sneak attacks rather than an attack of opportunity.

extra sneak attack damage for earlier roll: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9

flurry second attack roll: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 + 2 - 2 = 23
second attack damage roll: 1d6 + 6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 4 + (1, 6) = 19

Wayreth takes a swipe at the alchemist as she retreats.

attack roll: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 11 + 2 - 2 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 4 = 12

Not sure what I'll do on my turn though. Don't have that much by way of ranged options...

Will see what the others do first...

Immobilised? Excellent! =D

Wayreth takes the opporunity to run up to the alchemist and jab her in the kidneys!

attack roll: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 11 + 2 - 2 = 31
damage roll: 1d6 + 6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 4 + (6, 6) = 28
confirmation roll: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 11 + 2 - 2 = 21
crit damage roll: 1d6 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 4 = 12

Oops sorry was a busy day.

Will wait to see whether or not Ethendril busts the door open before deciding what I do...

Wayreth adopts the snake stance and moves up silently beside Ethendril. He motions to Ethendril to try the door again whilst he tries to use the door and Ethendril's bulk as cover to mask his presence...

stealth: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

...and prepares to strike the next person to open the door from the other side.

attack roll: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 30
damage roll: 1d6 + 6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 4 = 13
sneak attack damage if I get it: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11

I should be fine. I have a high touch AC, and I can use snake style to use my sense motive check against her attack roll, and I have evasion against splash damage. Between all that and Harlis to back us up, I should be fine. Also, alchemists (pretty sure she is an alchemist) have a discovery to change the element of their bombs, so getting fire resistance might not achieve anything anyway.

Our main problem is getting to her. GM, is there room to stand next to Ethendril at the door? Can I stand there in snake style stance and ready an action to punch anyone who opens the door from the other side while Ethendril tries to force it open again next round?

"Well, that depends on whether or not she has the ability to change the composition of those damned bombs..." Wayreth replies.

"I'm not much good with closed doors. Ethendril, do you reckon you've got the strength to force that door open?"

Dex to damage, low STR. =(

"Not a bad looking shack. Shame about the empty pool though. Wouldn't mind a wash-off after all the exertions of the past few days," Wayreth mutters as he takes a look around.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

"Well if nothing else we'll just taunt him with it," Wayreth replies.

"As for the stars and the void, well, I'd say at the very least this dragon's not too right in the head, but certainly dangerous. Perhaps someone who knows a little more about the ways of magic might have further insight? If not, we could check with that druid."

"I'd call that a definite tactical error on its part," Wayreth quips. "Not that I'm complaining, mind you, and it did seem to be harrowing with only half the deck, if you get my meaning. Szangi, eh? Wonder why ol' lizard breath doesn't like his name. Well, apart from it sounding like it belongs to a sniveling backwater thug. So, you know, totally appropriate. Anyway, I suppose we do the obligatory search and loot?"

Wayreth starts poking around to see if there's anything useful around here.

perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

Ok, maybe I'll take 10 for a 22...

Seizing the opportunity, Wayreth strikes from the opposite side.

attack roll: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 24
damage roll: 1d6 + 6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + 4 + (2, 4) = 17

Sooo...does this mean I am free to make my starting position 5ft away from a flanking position with Ethendril, like the last time? =D

Sadly, no. Like I mentioned earier, you have to start out at least 10' away--else combat starts immediately.

As in, 10ft in any direction, so I can take a 5ft step to a flanking position? If not, I'll just 5ft into a flurry. Ah, you mean there's 10ft of space between me and the thing, so if I take a 5ft step I'll still be 5ft away. In that case, I'll move around to get into a flank with Ethendril. I'll move after him, letting him take the AoO since he has more hp. I'll use pirahna strike either way.

Flurry attack roll 1: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 29
damage roll: 1d6 + 6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 4 + (1, 5) = 22

Sooo...does this mean I am free to make my starting position 5ft away from a flanking position with Ethendril, like the last time? =D

From his lair? Visit to the village?

The name of the fire drake perhaps? The naga is implying that the creature returned, so not the fire drake. Which leaves either the dragon or some other hidden ally of the dragon's who was also at the village?

I believe I should be down 11 at the moment due to the psychic attacks. This is after the lifelink.

Ok, I'll mark the full damage then. Thought it was automatic like shield other. XD

Wayreth steels himself against the mental assault again, hoping that his willpower is still sufficient despite being unchained...

will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19 Phew! Just enough!

So I'm taking another 6 damage and Ethendril is taking another 5...

He manages to retain his senses, and keeps up his attack routine, taking advantage of Ethendril's flank and to drive the whirling winds around his hands into the monster like drills.

Snake style to do piercing damage, sneak attack via flanking, pirahna strike.

attack roll: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 2 = 28
damage roll: 1d6 + 6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 4 + (5, 6) = 25

attack roll: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 2 = 28
damage roll: 1d6 + 6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 4 + (1, 3) = 17

Harlis and Wayreth, I have life links up on both of you. Go ahead and heal 5 HP and I'll take it.

Thanks! =)

I took 10 from the tree-thing's psychic attack, so I'm now only down 5.

Ok, let's just bash this thing up then.

Since GM Engleaktig has given me the luxury of placing myself where I want, I'll put myself adjacent and flanking with Ethendril.

Aeleth flicks a quick glance to his allies to see if any of them are contemplating a retreat, but seeing Ethendril and Harlis determined to fight, steels himself for combat. Heeding the information provided by Agnes, he adopts the stance of the serpent and shapes the air around his hands into spiraling drills that he attempts to drive into where he thinks are the tree-like creature's vulnerable points.

Using snake style to change my damage-type to piercing, which will penetrate the creature's DR.

attack roll: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
damage roll: 1d6 + 6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 4 + (2, 6) = 21

attack roll: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26
damage roll: 1d6 + 6 + 4 + 2d6 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 4 + (3, 3) = 19
