I forgot to notate which spells were Extended in the last spoiler, put an x2 on the wrong spell (making it illegal to ready the spell), and also forgot that the +4 Cha should have given Tsuki extra 1st- and 2nd-level bonus slots. If it's acceptable this is the revised readied spell list. I just doubled up on spells she already had readied rather than adding additional spell options.

"This is bad, Tsuki. We need to leave..."

Eiko casts Cloud of Knives and steps up next to Tsuki.

Spoiler: Knowledge

Show

From that Knowledge (Arcana) you can tell these are creatures related to dragons, not half-dragons or even draconic, but as though they've been tinted with draconic essence. They seem to be the Spawn of Tiamat, races which breed true but originated as perverse corruptions of other entities as Tiamat's answer to the Dragonborn of Bahamut.

It's a valiant effort, but Tsuki's blade is too weak to cut through the tether. It looks like it's a weapon being used as such, not simply a piece of rope. The red creature whirls around at the sound of the force blade, and notices the magical effect.
"Horaaa, someone's feeling bold. I think I'm getting warmer...Warmer...Ooh, hot, hot."
Tsuki sees a catlike eye appear in the crack in the door.
"I'm burning up."
The door is flung open by the ignition of a Burning Hands which, despite the door's cover, scorches Tsuki and deals 15 damage. Tsuki finds herself face to face with the Redspawn, while the Greenspawn and Blackspawn peek in from the sides.
"What did I tell you? The Fivefold Goddess smiles upon us. We have a second chance, and we didn't need that Umber Hulk fellow after all. Get the girl, and-"
The Redspawn staggers back.
"Is that the prince? Goodness, girl, what things you get up to behind closed doors. We are lucky five times over. Take them both."

The Greenspawned dashes into the room, tumbling past Tsuki and crouching in the corner, ready to flank. The Blackspawned presses his shoulders into the door frame, making it impossible for Tsuki to dash outside. The Whitespawned, outside the room, pulls at his chain connected to the Bluespawn.

Eiko's dagger is propelled expertly, but the little lizard is too quick and narrowly avoids the strike. More of a fluke, it manages to block out the intrusion of Eiko's teleportation spell, and manages to remain rooted.
"Good effort, but ssslightly ssskewed, your highnesssss," Green sneers. Red, on the other hand, looks on with concern.
"Oh. Your magic, it's weak. You're not the Prince. Fivefold curse these costumes, no one looks like anyone. Get them both, and we'll sort it out later."
Tsuki tries to nimbly dodge, but she leaves a slight opening and Black's scaly neck whips out to give her a bite on the side. Its teeth hurt, dealing 5 damage, and then begins to sting, though Tsuki is hardy enough to ward off any debilitating effect.
"Calm yourselves, calm yourselves, we need them alive! Moth it!" Red snaps. Snapping her fingers, she first sends up a small Flare, and then triggers Pyrotechnics to cause the Flare to explode in dazzling light. The Spawn all have their eyes turned, aware of what Red's planning, and although Tsuki and Eiko get the brunt of it they manage to avoid being outright blinded, though Eiko is still dazzled by the initial Flare. Green takes the chance to whip forward and slice at Eiko with a spinning blade. Unfortunately, Eiko manages to sidestep the low attack.

As the three Spawn close in on the pair in the room, the flying Djinn Ali races up the stairs in a burst of wind. He hovers, as Blue and White in the hall turn to address their newcomer.
"W-what's happening? There's been, there's an-ah! Assailants! B-begone, creatures of evil and hate, for I am Prince Ali, with the natural strength of ten men and the vim to dispatch the galloping hordes! I, well, I'll, I'll, I'll bring this to fisticuffs before the night is out, believe you me!"

Screw the spoilers, everyone's things are related now.

Þ is approached by a Kobold whose existence is questionable and largely up for debate, holding a quiche as designed by a 6-year-old.
"Sir, I believe I have a message for you, as you are the only one that suits. The Drow says that Sookey requests your assistance in her chambers. I would head there post-haste."

------
Tsuki's second knife is dodged by Green, but not before it takes a hit from the first. Tsuki manages to rob Green of his Fell The Greatest Foe spell. Green is a little shaken, and his eyes dart to the door.
"Oh no you don't, this mission is bigger than all of us!" Red snaps. "Keep your eyes on the prize. If you don't, I'll do a little something to light a fire under you, if you catch my drift."
Black shifts his body slightly, giving Red a clear view into the room. She hurls a small sphere of flame at Tsuki, this time undeterred by her defense against magic. It strikes perfectly, though doesn't hit so hard as to do extra damage. The searing ball does 20 fire damage to Tsuki. Seeing her as the greater threat, Green rolls out of the way and positions himself such that in order to flank again, either Eiko or Tsuki will have to in turn be flanked by him and Black, unless they both come in from the sides. He lashes out with his strange knife at Tsuki, and strikes her in a critical location! He cuts her beautiful face for 14 damage.

Tsuki's force blade is pushed away by White, who is focused on Ali.
"Big words, big man," he mutters. He lashes out with the other end of the leash, which Ali dodges, but Ali doesn't strike back. It is at this time that Darwin races up the stairs, into the fray of a hallway filled with what looks like a blue rhino and a white draconic skeleton, while a red scaled woman looks into a room from the hall and a thick black tail sticks out from the door frame.
"Ahaha! Fantastic! It is Darwin again, yes? Excellent, please, dispatch these villains! Of course, I will help you-
He pauses.
"b-by offering praise and admiration, and moral support. It would be too disruptive to the guests and my castle itself were I to unleash a mere fraction of my power on these knaves. Please, after you!"

As he moves, he mutters "Clothesificate." softly to himself, changing from his fine liches robes to a mummy's bandages, then after a moment's consideration changes his form to that of a somewhat shorter female. No point in giving himself away before he knew what was going on. Here, of all places, now, it could be pretty much anything.

So with the necessary rearranging of actions, now Þ is the one coming up the stairs, but only does so this round.

Eiko's knife cuts Black in a critical spot, causing him to kneel for a moment to hold his side. Although he's still in the door, a nimble acrobat might be able to dodge out around him, at least until he regains his stature. Tsuki's Whirling Blade too deals him notable damage.

"Ha! As though I would be drawn in by something as trivial as that!" Red sneers, laughing right in Eiko's face. She realizes that shouldn't be the case. Green looks on from outside.
"Ssso look, I'm better with ambushesss. I think we'd bessst regroup. And I plan to." With that, Green turns tail and dashes down the hall.

Red is about to chastise Green, but Tsuki's furious daggers cut her down to size. Heavily injured and lacking in backup (or really, suitable teamwork) the mission seems to be failing. Going for a last-ditch effort, Red withdraws an item from her robe and then goes to put it on (either action provokes an AoO from Eiko). It's one of the paper masks.

[nolongerchaos]

Gaining the top of the stairs, Þ is started by the commotion going on outside of what appears to be Tsuki's room, and what sounds like fighting going on inside the room.

"Ali? What's going on? Or are you Tsuki? ... Eiko? *sigh* This is why we should have discussed a plan before hand... Tsuki, where are you and what in the world is going on?" Þ bellows in frustration, wishing the attendant had been a little more informative as to what was going on. At least they'd let him know though...

"Why do these accursed monsters always have to attackme?" Tsuki mutters to herself.

[Nettlekid]

As Eiko did not take an Attack of Opportunity against the Redspawn, the Redspawn manages to affix the mask without resistance. A blinding light emanates from her, and then the light portions itself into red, blue, green, black, and white shades. Her body doubles in size and like a Hydra five sprouting tendrils burst from the body, each ending in a draconic head. With a bellowing roar, the heads go into a whipping and gnashing frenzy.

Tsuki's whirling blade has unfortunately missed both targets. One of the blades of steel misses, but the other strikes true. The attack is palpable, and the Redspawn's previously injured condition isn't helping her.

Eiko's knife against the Blackspawn also does not connect.

The Redspawn, disoriented by her transformation, doesn't have it in her to lash out with all the heads yet. Instead she simply sinks the white head's teeth into Tsuki, dealing 12 damage (overcoming magic DR).

The Blackspawn and Eiko are both pushed out of the doorway by the Redspawn's transformation, and stumble into the hall.
"I'm startin' to fink he had da rite ideea." Black mutters, looking to where Green had fled. White sighs.
"Too hasty. We were planning to save that." he shakes his head. He scowls, trying to bat away the knife of force which has been pestering him.
"Look, the whole thing-"
"Did yoo say sumthing?"
"I said the whole-"
"What?"
"I SAID the whole plan has gone to ruin! We have no lead and nothing to show for it, let's fall back!"
With this, the Whitespawn shakes his chain and unlatches the Bluespawn, who immediately rushes underneath the flying Prince Ali and stabs its horn into Þ's skeletal frame, dealing 27 damage (12 after your DR.)

"But what about her?" Black gestures to the furious, transformed Redspawn.
"Let her come to her senses or burn herself out. Let her die. It's not like any of us are irreplaceable."

I somewhat question Eiko's judgment in abandoning her Sneak Attacking soul partner from a flanking position with what is clearly the greatest threat.

And yes, Ali isn't flanking with Þ because he's hovering.

Also, ugh, I HATE that the Topic Review under a replying post doesn't show the actual rolls. I have to keep jumping back and forth.

"Well I, I would, but such isn't the place, I mean for a host-" he stammers, wavering back and forth in midair.

The Bluespawn roars, its tough hide resisting Þ's punch but limiting its movement enough to leave it open to the ravages of Negative Energy. It is a hardy beast, and manages to resist its muscles being locked. It lowers its horn to Þ's face, and with a bellow lets loose a beam of electric energy directly into the Lich's electric-immune body.

The Whitespawn grits its teeth, scowling to see the Elf tumbling ahead. Its eyes narrow as it fights against the pain in its head, and the blade of force stabs it between the shoulders.
"ALRIGHT, I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!" it screeches, changing its stance. Its bonelike armor rattles as its body shakes, its anger pumping up its strength. With practiced and unlikely grace it whirls the rusted chain around itself and lashes out twice at Eiko, then steps forward to close the distance. Both strikes land, dealing a total of 28 damage to her (only 18 after DR).

Seeing his ally rushing into battle, the Blackspawn also jumps into the fray. He starts to move forward but instead of lashing out with his weapon, he launches a glob of vitriolic spit at Eiko. It deals a mere 2 Acid damage, and fortunately Eiko's movement is swift enough that it doesn't blind her.

The rampaging Redspawn in the guise of an Aspect of Tiamat continues to rage. Tsuki's second Steeldance dagger strikes for substantial damage, but her other attacks do not. The Redspawn snaps at the bed with two heads but can't wedge herself behind it well enough to actually get Tsuki, so she instead stomps down on it, crushing it in a flurry of splinters. Tsuki's DR mitigates all damage from the splinters, but the bed no longer provides cover to defend.

"Thanks, your Highness." Þ says dryly as she starts trying to scoot around the bluespawn. Moving as far as she dares, Þ again strikes at the brute next to her.

Sorry for the slow response. I kind of stopped keeping up with things in this game and didn't realize I'd missed an update.

As to abandoning her flanking partner, I didn't expect Tsuki to stay in the room and figured we'd have better luck where we had more room to maneuver.

Ignoring her immediate foes for the moment, Eiko shouts to Þ. "Þ! Group up! Lead it this way if it will follow!"

She then tumbles to L10 and casts major image on Þ's space, creating a duplicate on him in the exact space he already occupies, hopefully confusing the bluespawn long enough for Þ to back away and regroup with she and Tsuki and causing it to waste time attacking the image rather than the person.
Acrobatics - (1d20+21)[36]

As a free action, she drops caltrops via the cantrip into the whitespawn's space (H10).
