Kalderaan is distracted by the rapid turn of events. He considers rescuing other Pathfinders until drawn away by his comrades. He takes Reylar's cry and echoes one of his own. "For the Pathfinders!" he shouts as he moves to surround the enemy.
The Pathfinders proceed to dogpile the remaining echo. Reylar trips the creature and batters it with his staff. It takes the form of an old halfling man wearing oversized glasses.
Reflex:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
The creature twists away from some of Rhaegal's breath before Kalderaan and Boris descend upon it. The second swing connects, spilling an ethereal mess across the chamber.
Ulfgar adopts his best tough guy pose.
22 damage on Yellow. It is prone. Evindal to end the round.

Evindal rolls his eyes at his poor aim and draws and loads his sling.
Evindal aims, he shoots... he misses... somehow the flask only splashes on his intended target.
The echo scrambles to its feet. (this provokes AoOs if you have them.)
Assuming you don't kill it...
It howls a scream of unknown origin. A scream that rips through time and space.

As the enemy - nay, the hunted prey - begins to stand, Kalderaan uses his instincts to stop the creature in its tracks. He lashes out with a quick slicing action before it can recover.
Kalderaan silences the echo before it gets to speak.
Combat Over. No damage taken.
The purple crack widens and then explodes into dozens of smaller rifts. Each rift reveals a vision of some distant view. From stone walls of unknown architecture to verdant jungles, each vision is entirely different. The ground in the chamber shakes and heaves as a massive bug skitters into existence from the rifts.
“Now there’s a challenge!” Calisro Benarry boasts. “Let’s show them what Pathfinders are made of!”
“The rifts are pulling us into the past,” Jirneau counters. “We need to force the Eternity Arch to seal these rifts, or we’ll be stranded here!”
You have enough time to battle the creatures OR manipulate the Eternity Arch. Once two of you agree, we'll move on to that mission.

Rhaegal sniffs at the air from the spiders and then he leans around Ulfgar and roars, spitting a ray of frost at the larger one.

Rhaegal knows both spiders can spit webbing that will entangle immobilize their targets. Both are poisonous.
The small one is a Hunter Spider. It is able to see in the dark but it is slower and weaker than the big one. A Ogre spider can bite things up to 10 feet away and can squeeze through places a large (10x10 ft) creature could without trouble.
The small spider crawls ahead and sees three juicy targets.
1 Ulfgar, 2 Kalderaan, 3 Boris:1d3 ⇒ 1 Web:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Even caught off guard, Ulfgar easily sidesteps the webs. Undeterred, it continues to advance before reaching Boris.
The Ogre Spider quickly closes in before spitting a web.

With its prey caught, the spider decides to bite the bear.

Kalderaan watches in horror, helpless to stop the spider from assaulting his companion. "No!" shouts the ranger as Boris roars in pain. Kalderaan casts a steely gaze at the huge spider and curses at it. "You have signed your death warrant you foul, cursed monster!"

Ulfgar delays and waits patiently to see what happens. Kalderaan feels for his poor bear Boris, and critically hacks into the large spider.
Reylar burns the spiders, although the large one dodges some of the flames. The large one also twists away from some of Rhaegal's lightning breath. Evindal throws a vial to shock both spiders, frying the small one and destabilizing the large one's balance.
The large spider has many targets, but it goes after the closest one- Kalderaan. Only the first bite hits, but it finds a critical weakpoint in his armor! 44 damage on that crit.
The poison courses through Boris.

Ulfgar hangs back, letting the others handle the little one. But then the big spider gets a serious bite in on Kalderaan and the dwarf steps up to handle it.
Ulfgar gets ready and tears into the flat-footed spider, hacking it apart before it can get another move.
The Spider is dead, but Boris has to deal with poison. Kalderaan 44 damage, Fort Save vs Poison; Boris 21 damage, Immobilized, Fort Save vs Stage 2 Poison.

Both Kalderaan and Boris should take antidotes to try to help with their saves vs the poison. Evindal could Quick Alchemy one and has another stored in reserve, but I think the party already has some from our scenario prep rewards in which case we should use those first. Besides the antidotes, the only thing I'm aware of that will help is Medicine - Treat Poison. I'm not sure if others can attempt it as well since Rhaegal has already done so, but if others can also attempt then...
Evindal asks his hireling to attend to Kalderaan and the poison coursing through his body.
Medicine, Treat Poison:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10Ugh, well *that's* not going to help! Hero Point that! Medicine, Treat Poison:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12Alas, I think that's still probably a crit fail. Sorry!
Not looking good for our intrepid heroes. Kalderaan is KOed in round 4 and Boris in round 6.
Kalderaan & Boris need to roll Fort Saves for Round 3 without help from their allies, since everyone else killed the spiders that round. Kalderaan can retroactively drink antidote/antivenom and Treat Poison for himself and/or Boris.
[ooc]Round 4
Rhaegal tries to help purge the poison from Kalderaan. Ulfgar is also able to help, but he's too busy dealing with Evindal. Evindal is overeager to help and spills too many ingredients, ruining Ulfgar's efforts.
Rhaegal realizes he can't help Kalderaan immediately. But he is able to help Boris.
Kalderaan is at 6 HP and needs to make a DC 22 Fort Save. Failure will 6 deal poison damage and KO him, putting him at Dying 1 and Stage 2 of the poison.
Boris is at 18 HP and needs to make a DC 22 Fort Save. Failure will deal 6 poison damage and move him to Stage 3. He gets a +2 Bonus to the save thanks to Treat Poison.

Kalderaan falls to his knees, retching. His body is coated in cold sweats. He curses the spider and praises the gods he and his companion managed to fight off the poison at the last desperate minute.
The ranger crawls over to Boris and strokes his fur. "So brave. he mutters.
Healing Potion:2d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 7) + 5 = 16
That should put Kalderaan at 22/52 HP and Boris at 18/40 HP.
Kalderaan fights off the last of the spider venom, while Boris is almost there.
Kalderaan is free from the poison. Boris is now at Stage 1 (with 2 rounds of poison so far.) The team should feel free to help Boris with antidote/antitoxin/Treat Poison. Boris should make another Fort Save.

Treat Poison - Boris:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29
Rhaegal feeds the bear the antidote, getting it to drink despite the chalky taste. Then he pokes the bear's inflamed wounds, rubbing some wood sap on it to draw the poison out.
Treat Poison gives +2 circumstance bonus. Antidote gives another +2 item bonus, so Boris should have +4 to his fort save.
Now we're in the clear. Kalderaan is at 22 HP, Boris is at 18.
Heraxia quickly climbs into the stasis pod and seals it shut.
Dozens of strange and twisted quadrupeds emerge from the corners of the chamber, with oversized eyes and lolling tongues. “Hounds of Tindalos! These are the creatures that pursued Heraxia!” Ashasar exclaims. “They’ll weaken away from angles!”
Sparks fly from the Eternity Arch, sending bolts of lightning streaking across the chamber. “That thing is overloading!” Eando Kline shouts. “We need to stabilize it somehow!”
You have enough time to battle the creatures OR stabilize the Eternity Arch. Once two of you agree, we'll move on to that mission.

Ulfgar spits in irritation as the two dogs appear then disappear. Heeding the warning of the strange giant kobold lady, he moves away from "angles" though he rolls his eyes when she gives the warning.
Then, he readies his axe for the first dog that gets too close.

My only full TPK in a PFS scenario was to a pack of Hounds of Tindalos. They scare me.
Rhaegal sees the two creatures appear and then disappear. "They're trying to flank us!" The kobold's voice quivers in surprise as he tries to figure out how to combat them. He sees Ulfgar moving into the center of the room and follows him. The kobold looks back to see if he can detect where the 'dogs' have gone.
