[GM Sasha]

mmmkay...parsing this out...

Firstly, Tsuan moves in. Noke moves and then sleeps the demon. Wiem has not acted. Pai informs everyone and then fires at the sleeping demon. Floria moves. Wembly does something while the angel casts mirror image and moves. We will wait another day before moving on without Wiem. Please correct me if I am wrong about something.

Pai, did you gather power?

Duh! Did you not see the three SIXES! :)

Wiem Weems glides to the catwalk and moves into position next to the door. The circular blade held up.
Can't affect the map ATM. Please place me next to Wembly. Ready action to throw Star knife should enemy appear.

Angel cou'd Grace the demon.

[Noke Tiiz]

Noke would try to communicate with Pai via the message spell that she please waits for a coupe de grace as her attack will wake it up and then a killing blow is impossible. If the demon survives then she should blow it with her power!! :-D

[GM Sasha]

The babau is bludgeoned by the water blast causing it to awaken. Intruders!" it shrieks and then it begins casting.

[Wembly Templeton]

The Bralani slashes at the demon with holy vigor

”Back to the abyss foul creature!!! “

Scimitar, good atk: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 2 = 29 for dmg: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Scimitar, good atk: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 2 = 27 for dmg: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Wembly peers into the room

Perception : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 bleh

But there is too much commotion to concentrate

[Pai Shecks]

Perception: 1d20 + 12 - 3 ⇒ (5) + 12 - 3 = 14

"Oh for the love of Pete!" Pai realizes she's jumped the gun and should've waited for Tsuan to do her awesome thing. Too late now, she grouses in her head. With a whining apology--"I'm so sorry guys!"--she flings out another blast of water from her vantage point at the top of the door frame. As scatterbrained as she is right now, at least she has the presence of mind to avoid Gathering Power. The noise of it would certainly alert everyone else in the tower!

Water blast vs. AC: 1d20 + 11 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 11 - 3 + 3 = 183d6 + 10 + 5 ⇒ (1, 6, 2) + 10 + 5 = 24
Includes Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Elemental Overflow, and 3 negative levels. No Gathering Power b/c no Infusion or Metakinesis.

[Floria Avernathus]

Floria is briefly distracted wondering if this Pete can keep up with Pai's inexhaustible energy, but quickly controls herself and returns to the matter at hand.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 6 - 3 = 7

She sighs, dropping the cane she's been leaning so heavily on, and drawing her wand of magic missile while she studies the demon.

Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 17 - 3 ⇒ (3) + 17 - 3 = 17
Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 17 - 3 ⇒ (4) + 17 - 3 = 18
Investigative mind 1/7 total result 18

She then barks the command word and sends a bolt of force shooting toward the fiend

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CL: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Charges remaining 45/50

[Lai Tsuan]

Tsuan will attempt to flank. It's not clear to me whether Tsuan can move E-SE to not move through its square, or whether she needs to move SE-E. If she needs to move through its square, it's vs CMD+5, if not, CMD.
She's invisible so it's unclear whether it would get an AoO in either case, and unclear what happens if she failed vs CMD+5.

Acrobatics, Daredevil Softpaw Boots: 1d20 + 16 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 16 + 5 = 25

If she makes it through, she'll attack.

Good Wakizashi: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 plus Sneak: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 2, 6) = 19

If she doesn't make it through, she'll try again rather than break invisiblity.

Acrobatics, Daredevil Softpaw Boots: 1d20 + 16 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 16 + 5 = 26 vs CMD+5

facepalm

[GM Sasha]

1d20 ⇒ 13
1d20 ⇒ 18
1d20 ⇒ 3
Tsuan successfully leaps over the babau.

The prone demon gets assaulted by attacks and loses concentration on its casting, though it remains alive.

[Wiem Weems Finyik]

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Wiem Weems moves into the room and stabs at the demon with the oil-blessed starknife.
starknife: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15, poke: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

[Noke Tiiz]

Noke misfortune hexes the demon.

MISFORTUNE (Su):

: Cause a creature within 30 feet to suffer grave misfortune for 1 round. Anytime the creature makes an ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, it must roll twice and take the worse result. A Will save negates this hex. At 8th level and 16th level, the duration of this hex is extended by 1 round. This hex affects all rolls the target must make while it lasts. Whether or not the save is successful, a creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day.

She then cackles.

DC 24 Will vs misfortune

[Wembly Templeton]

If the demon still moves, the bralani will continue to hit it with holy force of steel.

[GM Sasha]

The demon is killed by the assembled Pathfinders.

[Lai Tsuan]

I would like to know whether Tsuan confirmed the crit or made the final blow, for panache tracking purposes.

[GM Sasha]

It was Tsuan's crit attack that killed the demon.

[Wiem Weems Finyik]

The gripply lets out a quieting croak.
"What did you find in the other room, Tsuan?"

[Noke Tiiz]

Noke casts detect magic and scans the area.

[Lai Tsuan]

Tsuan holds up her fingers in an O to signal "nothing".

[Pai Shecks]

"Uh, sorry guys. I shoulda waited for Tsuan to do it. I just wasn't thinking. Oh! What if anyone heard?!" Immediately Pai turns and flies to a spot where she can see if anyone is visible on the lower level. She even remembers to use the floor as cover and peek around it instead of bolting right into the open. Good girl!

Perception: 1d20 + 12 - 3 ⇒ (3) + 12 - 3 = 12

[Wembly Templeton]

”I wonder if it was alone? I am just guessing, but probably a guard. But guarding what? “

[Floria Avernathus]

Floria picks up her cane again, but hooks it onto her belt and keeps the wand and rod out and at the ready, content to keep with the more offensive armament and sacrifice fashion for the nonce.

She tries to keep quiet and looks to the others for some sign of what next.

[GM Sasha]

Now that the demon is down, you do hear some heavily muffled something on the other side of the closed door.

[Lai Tsuan]

Tsuan will use her last vanish, and open the door when everyone signals they're ready.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26 before opening

[Pai Shecks]

Pai is still doing lookout on the floor below, and has no idea what's going on in the other room.

@GM Sasha: I assume, since you didn't mention anything after her last Perception check, that she notices nothing threatening down there. If she needs another Perception check for this round, let me know.

[Wembly Templeton]

Bralani stands ready with bow after sheathing scimitar.

Wembly stays back with Pai and nods.

[GM Sasha]

No one noticed during the combat. Once it was over (about a round later) everyone heard something.

[Wiem Weems Finyik]

Wiem Weems climbs to a space above the door then, star knife in hand, nods that he is ready.

[Noke Tiiz]

Noke also prepares.

“Open the door!“

[Wembly Templeton]

The Bralani will open the door when folks are ready

assume he does so. Roll a STR check if needed.

[Pai Shecks]

Huh? What's going on? Well, Pai was bored of staring down at the floor tiles, anyway. She flies back to hover over the group and whispers: "Oh, are we opening that door? Okay! --Oh! And there's no one downstairs, so I think we're good there."

[GM Sasha]

Pai does not see any dangers when she looks down to the lower level. This is under the assumption that she does not venture to the floor below and merely looks.
1d3 ⇒ 1

The only furniture here is an ornate desk carved from a single block of deep rose marble with a matching chair. A human man stands behind a large wolf.

[Pai Shecks]

Catching a glimpse of lots and lots of fur through the door, Pai flies into the first room for a better look. Her eyes bug out at the size of the thing. "Whoa! How'd that wolf get in there?! It's bigger than the door! --Oh well!" And with that, she sends a zap of lightening at it.

Electric blast vs. Touch AC: 1d20 + 11 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 11 - 3 + 3 = 183d6 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (6, 3, 3) + 2 + 5 = 19

Includes Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, and Elemental Overflow. No Gathering Power.

[Lai Tsuan]

Does Tsuan recognize the man? She has credits for #4-09 Blakros Matrimony as well as #4-11/#4-13.

[GM Sasha]

Yes, this is Tancred Desmire

[Lai Tsuan]

Hmm, a post got eaten.

Tsuan smiles to herself and springs a wand she's been saving for this occasion. wand of greater invisibility, 2 charges She activates it.

UMD: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32 vs DC 20

"Mister Desimire," her voice echoes without her visage appearing, "I've been looking for you."

[GM Sasha]

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Tancred looks around nervously for the origin of the voice, but cannot seem to pinpoint it.

"It's a shame you took so long Pathfinders. You might have had a better chance if you'd taken me by surprise," he sneers. He then incants and draws symbols in the air. Suddenly, black writhing tentacles rise up from the floor and begin grasping at those nearby. (This will be against everyone but Tsuan.)
vs CMBs: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

While the fiendish dire wolf growls defiantly while Tancred opens the door behind himself and steps back.

[Wembly Templeton]

Wembly looks more amazed than surprised at the tentacles.

Hey, I have this spell too you know! It's a good one. Grabs really tight. Well, I guess I don't need to tell any of you...especially if...ouch...yep. That is too tight. Starting to hurt.

Ok, I was not expecting this...but his CMD is 17 and the roll was 16? Hmmm. I guess he is free? Wembly calls out as he double moves to exit the tentacle area.

Yes, it is best to get out before it holds you. Bralani-friend, attack them as best you can.

The Bralani CMD=28 (and 6 images) and so is also free but drops his bow and draws his scimitar to attack the wolf.

Back to the abyss, fiend!

+1 good scimitar: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 2 = 26 for dmg: 1d6 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11

[GM Sasha]

oops yep I forgot to add more info. Yes, if your CMD is 16 or below you are grappled by the tentacles. You also take 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 bludgeoning damage if you become grappled. And, that whole area is difficult terrain.

Pai's lightning and the Bralani's scimitar leave the wolf looking very worse for wear.

[Noke Tiiz]

Noke is not amused.

“I hate that spell!!“

She immediately casts dispel magic.

concentration vs 10 + CMB + level = 27 : 1d20 + 9 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 7 = 32

caster level check to dispel black tentacles : 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Waiting to see if that was successful to then take move action.

"That's gross," the grippli thinks back to the black mires of the jungle.

"Containing the wolf," the magus says. He carefully weaves magic and casts a cantrip to close the door Tancred just left. Then carefully uses a hand to close the door below him in the most mundane way.
Concentration: 1d20 + 8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 3 = 16 vs. grapple (not needed if Noke was successful?) Assuming wolf has not acted & is therefore flat-footed. EDIT: Did he cast a spell, open a door, and move?

[GM Sasha]

The black tentacles disappear.

[Noke Tiiz]

“I am going to get the guys in the back!!“

Noke then steers her riding dog back out of the room and leads it to the caster that is hiding on the other side!!

Riding dog still has two move actions so with 40 ft speed she gets to her current position on her dog.

[Floria Avernathus]

Floria is immensely relieved when Noke dispels the tentacles, as she realised in that moment that she hasn't replaced her talisman that protects against such things.

"Oh thank Kurgess. Good work Noke!"

She quickly follows Noke to hopefully intercept Tancred on the other side, keeping an eye out in case he tries to turn invisible.

Double move. She should still have see invisiblity from casting it earlier

[GM Sasha]

The wolf nips at the Bralani.
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 for 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Wiem closese the door in front of Tancred.

[Pai Shecks]

At Tsuan's disembodied announcement, Pai's eyes go saucer wide. "Arrrgh! That guy!" She's about to fire a blast of electricity at his retreating posterior when Wiem Weebs closes the far door. And then he closes the near door. And she has nothing to shoot at. And a bunch of the group peels out to go fight bad boy. But *someone* has to stay here to make sure he doesn't double back and escape! She fleis to the exit and glances out, trying to make up her mind in a hurry. Keeping her voice low so it doesn't carry through any doors or anything, she waves Wiem Weebs and the Bralani (she has *no idea* where Tsuan is in all this mess) toward the exit and informs them: "I'll stay here in case he doubles back."

She's really quite proud of herself for not just flying straight at the enemy. (Though a part of her wants to open the door, electrocute that wolfy, then slam that door in its face. Hahaha! That'd be funny!)

Hold Kinetic Blast. Trigger: a non-ally comes into view.

[Lai Tsuan]

Uhh ... I'm not sure what's happening here. I labeled the doors. Wiems closed Door #3 with mage hand, and then Door #2 with his hand?

If that's correct:

Tsuan, with nothing better to do with her greater invisibility, opens the door to let Pai blast the wolf, and then closes it again.

[Wiem Weems Finyik]

That was my intent yes. I realized late that I went out of turn. Also Wiem should be in a square by door #2.

"No thumbs commander. I figured this was the quickest way to contain the enemy." ...and freeing everyone for the combat with Tancred. :) also :( if that messes with your actions.

[GM Sasha]

Pai, go ahead and get your blast off.

[Pai Shecks]

As Pai stares down the door with the humongo-wolf on the other side, it magically opens on its own. Her trigger happy hands immediately release a blast of surging electricity right at its face. "WAHOOO!"

Electric blast vs. Touch AC: 1d20 + 11 - 3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 3 + 3 = 143d6 + 2 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2, 3) + 2 + 5 = 13
Spell Resistance: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Includes 3 negative levels, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, and Elemental Overflow. No Gathering Power or Burn

And just as mysteriously, the door closes on its own again. Just like *magic*! Whoooaaah-- "Oh wait! Tsuan?!"
