Darn. I thought so, because a particular ability of a mummy wasn't mentioned, but that would have been metagaming if I hadn''t gone for it :P You're going to have me second guessing for the rest of the game now. Guessing I have to wait till next turn to try a planes check?

For positioning, the big thing is to read others posts, and see where the yare saying they are. Quite frequently if I step Khadi into melee its as I'm moving her with both actions she can get around the back of enemies while staying away from AoO's. For example in the last fight I did have her in a position that could be taken advantage of :P Also in the first round if you are actin before enemies you are normally safe to run around a bit as they are flatfooted, and when they are flat footed you will get sneak attack. (Normally). So yeah you hopefully hit an did 9 damage.

OOC:
Theatre of the mind combat, that is 'without grids', works mostly in saying what you want to do, and the GM interpreting that. I tend to give the benefit of the doubt to players, unless there is a good reason why it wouldn't.

For example, in Iseret in her post said she'd move to flanking position, then strike when it was flanking. While that isn't really something that you can do in Pathfinder with the Rules as Written, splitting a move and a attack around another persons actions, it totally makes sense from a fiction perspective. So I'd consider that Iseret and Drak'wa basically moved and surrounded it on both sides and struck at the same time, giving each other flanking for their sneak attacks.
Drak'wa damages it for four more (after damage reduction). Unfortunately, his blade sticks to the creature and he can't get it free!

Damage: 5, DR: 5/-

Rolls

Drak'wa Reflex save DC 12 - (1d20+3)

(2) + 3 = 5

Come on everyone, don't forget to add the Flagbearer bonuses! +1 morale bonus to hit, +1 morale bonus to damage, ( and +1 morale bonus to fear saves ). Otherwise I wasted the feat for nothing :)

The crossbow sticks to him, but you planned on that anyway.
OOC:
Added +1 damage for the flagbearer.
Damage: 9, DR: 5/-

"What is this filthy creature!?" Tabat growls as he watches everyone's weapons stick to its skin. "Hold fast and continue to strike!"
OOC:
Surfer hasn't hasn't logged in for 17 days - GM might need to bot him for a bit?

Jaware fires and casts, as his way. The acid orb does no damage, fiddling on the creatures body.

Everybody is up.

'.. Okay thats unfair.' Khadi mutters as yet again her energy washes over the creature. She pulls out her crossbow and fires a shot as she racks her brain for if she's ever heard of such a creature.
OOC:
Yes that attack is including the banner :p

Rolls

Crossbow - (D20-1, d8+2)

D20-1 : (10) - 1 = 9

"Let us end this," Tabat says, whipping his khopesh in the air with a flourish, building up momentum, and striking at the creature with fury. The strike lands and buries itself into the creature's flesh - but would his weapon be lost to him, clinging to the creature, as occurred to his companion? "Die, foul thing!"

Skarab steps away, slinking behind his more formidable companions as he gets a crossbow bolt. He wants about 20-30 feet of distance from this thing, if he can manage it.

Following the lead of the skilled Iseret, Drak'wa repeats a similar attack, flanking and sneak attack
OOC:

Archibald decides against identifying the creature, given he has no idea where to start. Nevertheless, witnessing that the creature is rather hard to damage, he decides on a risky maneuver to attack the it.

Rolls

Damage - (1d6+3)

Drak'wa attacks and hits it with his rapier... and yanks it free of the sticky creature.

Jaware fires his bow, and follows it up with a casting, channeling his cantrip trough another shot. The acid ball strikes it, and does more damage.

Damage: 23 (max 30), DR: 5/-

The creature, turns to Tabat and grabs at him... slamming with its heavy limbs (Tabat takes 5 damage).

You're all up again.

Seeing the troubles that besiege the others in melee, Iseret decides on a new tack and unlimbers her crossbow.

Edit: Forgot the banner bonuses, so please add 1 to each of these.

Skarab drops the adherer with a bolt, not changing a struggling melee weapon. Iseret does the same, stepping back and sticking a bolt between its eyes. It falls to the ground, lifeless.

Combat is over.
