    "Worry not for me friends, as I can walk on air as easily as ground. So the ascent will be simpler for me than some here..." Gelik says, looking knowingly around the group and sizing them all up.

    “Ha! For us terrestrial folks, I will lead ... if that is alright with everyone.”Fronaldo will take point at a distance of 15 feet ahead of the main group. Taking his time and checking for danger/traps.

    Gelik begins his stroll like he's climbing a very steep hill. Meanwhile, Fronaldo begins his climb, only going 5' at a time to look for traps the whole way. The rest of the party follows just past 15' from Fronaldo.

    Gelik ...

    The roof of the topmost tier has collapsed inward, leaving the top floor of the ziggurat open and exposed to the elements. Rainwater has collected in small pools throughout, feeding wild, dense tangles of overgrown jungle plants.

    A pair of charau-ka and a much larger creature - a white-furred, four-armed, gorilla-like creature camp up here. The two charau-ka are arguing about something ... understanding Abyssal, Gelik recognizes they are arguing over "spoils."

    They don't see Gelik yet.
    ... what do you do?

    Gelik slowly begins to reverse course, so as to try to not be seen.

    It's funny, Gelik wasn't even trying to be slow or stealthy, even panting a little .... and they didn't notice him. But as soon as he tries to be stealthy, all three of the upper tier's residents look directly at him!

    Begin Round One ...

    R1T19:
    The white-furred thing (Gelik has yet to assess) gives out a great, bestial roar and moves forward with a threat display, pounding its four fists against its chest.

    R1T18: Gelik, what do you do?

    R1T18: Almost reflexively, Gelik lashes out at the creature and then takes a 5 foot step away. That reflexive burst cost him, though, as the sonic energy dissipated just before getting to the white gorilla-thing, which was just out of range of Gelik's planar detonation.

    R1T12-3: The two charau-ka go up to the edge and toss rocks at Gelik in the right shoulder for 7.

    End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

    R2T29: Fronaldo, you are halfway up the 60' tall ziggurat. Up until now, you were only going 5' a round to give yourself plenty of time to look for anything untowards climbing up. Gelik let loose with a sonic scream (which he doesn't commonly used, but he's alone up there) and you see him floating some 30' above you and 15' out from the top of the ziggurat. What do you do?

    Fronaldo is startled by the loud roar and Gelik’s ear piercing response. He retrieves a small vial of iridescent green fluid and drinks it down in one quick gulp. Anyone paying him any attention will notice his green hide turn shiny with scales and the black pupils of his red eyes turn to vertical slits.
    He drops the vial and stealthily moves into the shadows on the side of the Ziggurat.

    It still requires a MA to simply cling to a wall to be able to use one hand such as you did. You are unable to attempt to hide this round.

    R2T22: Pim, you are 20' below Fronaldo's position. Meaning you are only 10' off the ground of the 60' tall ziggurat. What do you do?

    Pim will look above to the commotion, and nod with a knowing look on his face while drawing a card. He will flatter against the ascending wall in order to reduce his profile as much as possible while he concentrates on a defensive strategy. He will activate his defensive cards, however, they only begin to manifest their magical visual cues after a few seconds, so in the meanwhile, Pim will attempt to protect himself fully from any incoming attacks.

    R2T22: Pim looks above to the commotion and nods with a knowing look on his face while drawing a card. He flattens against the ascending wall in order to reduce his profile as much as possible while he concentrates on a defensive strategy. First, he activates his defensive cards. However, they only begin to manifest their magical visual cues after a few seconds, so in the meanwhile, he attempts to protect himself fully from any incoming attacks. Unfortunately, while a pretty good climber on what is a ridiculously easy climb for him, Pim realizes that his attempts at defense would be for naught if actually attacked.
    Spoiler: Climbing & Defense
    Show
    Unless you have a climb speed (you don't have spider climb cast on yourself right now), it doesn't matter what your skill-to-DC of the climb is ... you are "climbing." Which means you lose your DEX bonus to AC, and also means all dodge bonuses to AC are likewise lost. Total Defense provides a dodge bonus to AC.
    During all this, Pim mentally communicates with the group ...
    Spoiler: Pim >>> Collective (Tor'ber?)
    Show
    ”I’ll help someone beefier than I to fly in just a moment, Torber, that likely means you?”

    R2T19: The white-furred simian seems to notice something below and well to the side, hopping over the side and climbing down at breathtaking speed.

    At a height of 30', Fronaldo is 10' above and below the next and most recent steps of the ziggurat (heights of 20' and 40'). Suddenly, a white-furred, four-armed simian appears over the next level of the ziggurat and climbs down almost like a spider (but with six limbs instead of eight). It is so fast, it got from wherever it was before down to a height total of 35' (right above Fronaldo) and still attacks him! It's great, multi-tusked maw snaps at him, biting at the little goblin's shoulder for 7. That is when Fronaldo that all of his agility is for naught when he is climbing!
    Spoiler: Uncanny Dodge vs. Losing DEX to AC
    Show
    Most people assume that "losing DEX to AC" means that one is flat-footed, or vice-versa. This is not the case. You are not flat-footed when climbing (for which Fronaldo's Uncanny Dodge would apply). Rather, just like using Acrobatics to balance, you lose your DEX bonus to AC (which Uncanny Dodge does not protect against).

    R2T18: Gelik, you understand the challenges involved with those that climb and how vulnerable they are against natural climbers. While the charau-ka are really good rock throwers, they're also punks. The big white, furry Bumble on the other hand, is on terrain that takes all of Fronaldo's combat brilliance and makes it useless ... meaning he is about to be in a bad way quickly. What do you do?

    It was a move action to Climb 0' .... i.e., take hand off climbing to hold positiion mid climb to get a free hand to get a material component and have a hand free for the somatic component of the standard action to cast a spell.

    R2T12: One of the charau-ka above (red) closes next to the other, and throws a rock that hits hard off of Gelik's masterwork studded leather.

    R2T10: Tor-ber is standing on Tier #1 at a height of 20' ... 15' below Fronaldo, and right above Pim. He tepes to Fronaldo over the collective...

    "Fronaldo, get ready. I'm about to dimension swap us!"
    He steps five feet to the side so as not to have Fronaldo blocking Pim or anyone else as he is/was directly in line with the climbing group. He concentrates, and he and Fronaldo instantly swap places. Now, Tor-ber is holding onto the side of the ziggurat at a height of 35', and Fronaldo is standing comfortably on the 5-foot-wide ledge of Tier #1 at a height of 20', and off-line for climbers to get up easily without excess movement. Then, even while climbing and a whatsit breathing down on him, he acrobatically brachiates himself to the side and then up onto the ledge at Tier #2 (40' altitude) to square off with the monster.

    R2T3: Another charau-ka throws a rock that again skips off of Gelik's armor.

    End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

    R3T29: Fronaldo, second ago it looked pretty dire, but then Tor-ber pulled out some beautiful psionic shenanigans to save your bacon from the as-yet-to-be-assessed monster. You are standing 5' to the "right" of the imaginary "climber's line." You are at a height of 20' on Tier #1 of the ziggurat. It is only 5' wide. The monster is 20' above you. You are affected by haste (don't add to any rolls). What do you do?

    Gelik is at an altitude of 55'. Altitude is determined by the bottom portion of the square you're in. The Bumble is at an altitude of 35' (lowest point), but as a large creature the upper portion of its bulk is at 45', meaning a distance of only 15' height-wise (and it so happens 5' laterally). So, Gelik didn't need to move.

    R3T16: Aron levitates straight upwards 10' to a height of 20' .... just "off" of Tier #1 and positioned in the air next to Fronaldo. She takes out her flute.

    R3T15: Xhanfaerd, you are climb at an altitude of 15'. You can do a move action to climb onto Tier #1 and be adjacent to Fronaldo if you wish. What do you do?

    Now that everyone is faster, Xhanfaerd climbs up, then takes out his earthbreaker to join the fray.

    Climbing up, then if there is opponents on this tier, I'll move close while taking my weapon. If there isn't, I'll move toward the next tier.
    I just moved with my gf, and might need some time to find the perfect spot for my cpu. Still trying to keep up with my games.

    R3T15: Now that everyone is faster, Xhanfaerd climbs up with a double move, going from only 5' off the ground to a height of 20', but also having "sidestepped" a full 10' away from the direct vertical line of the fray, so that if he went higher he wouldn't simply be knocked off and down by the Bumble.

    R3T12: Red throws a rock that hits Gelik's let wrist for 6.

    R3T10: Tor-ber thinks about the nature of the enemy against him, and gets into a wrestling pose. He closes in and somehow manages to get a hold of the Bumble, though the Bumble is still "climbing" on the vegetation and side of the ziggurat.

    R3T3: Blue badly throws a rock at Gelik.

    Pim, you are standing on Tier #1 (20' altitude). Aron is directly out from you, adjacent, seemingly standing on air. Xhanfaerd is on this tier, but 10' from you to the east. Fronaldo is adjacent to you to the "west." Tor-ber is on Tier #2, grappling the Bumble that is taking up enough of a square that his altitude dips down to 35'. What do you do?

    Pim, more assuredly now what his allies are in position, will mumble some words quietly. He takes a few extra cards into hand and lays them down in front of him so that they balance face down on thin air.
    ”Well, it looks like your fortunes are in a downward spiral, my good ape man,” he mocks, while performing a small reading on the white beasts future. He flips over the central card in his reading, revealing a special misfortune card.

    R4T29: Fronaldo rapidly scales up to Tier #2 and has a single dagger drawn at the end of movement. He slashes one of the Bumble's lower sets of arms' ... lower arm ... for 28.

    R4T18: Gelik, while your friends have been handling the Bumble below, you have two charau-ka that have been taking pot shots at you from the top of the tier. If you increase your height from 55' to 60' (10' worth of movement because of gravity, i.e. "difficult terrain") you can remove their cover bonus (the lip of the tier of the ziggurat is in their favor).

    Gelik will take the sudden bout of inspiration and move up to 60' and then he will cast clw on himself.

    R4T18: Gelik takes the sudden bout of inspiration and moves up to 60', where he then casts CLW on himself. (6)

    R4T16: Aron casts shield of faith on herself, her form glowing with what seems to be silvery moonlight and/or starlight. She calmly glides upwards to a height of 40', equal to the level of Tier #2, but 10' from the ledge.

    R4T15: Xhanfaerd, you are at 20', standing on Tier #1. You are 5' offset to the east of the vertical line. What do you do?

    Altering his stance to listen to untold instincts, Xhanfaerd keeps climbing.

    Swift action : enter Internal Dominion of the Sleeping Goddess (I'll force a reroll on the first attack that hits me or the first save I miss)
    Rest of the round is basically moving and climbing.
    Probably taking a look at the Bumble to try to ID it.
    I just moved with my gf, and might need some time to find the perfect spot for my cpu. Still trying to keep up with my games.

    R4T15: Altering his stance to listen to untold instincts, it is at this point in Xhanfaerd's career that he discovers that he can't really enter or maintain a stance (at least not this one) while in the awkwardness of a climb. So, he continues climbing, getting to a height of 30', midway between the two tiers.

    R4T12: Red screeches horrifically, then throws two rocks at Gelik. One hits him in the chest for 6, but his armor barely stops the second.

    R4T10: Tor-ber pulls the Bumble off the wall and brings him around. Despite the Bumble's best efforts, he cannot keep from being thrown off the ziggurat, and he is too big to land on Tier #1. So, Tor-ber proves that .... Bumbles bounce as it hits Tier #1 and then down to the bottom, having taken a total of 12 from the throw, and now prone on the ground.

    R4T3: Blue screeches as well and throws two rocks at Gelik, with only one bouncing off the gnome's armor.

    End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...

    R5T29:
    Fronaldo, what do you do? You are standing on Tier #2 (40' altitude). Because of the nature in which the Bumble was hauled off the ziggurat, you did not get an AOO against it. It is now prone on the ground at the base of the ziggurat.

    delay. Do not perform the head shake if that counts as an action.
