Rosey Ring herself takes a move action to get within 10 ft of the captain and riflemen.
She then Casts Aching Dread, and Aberrant spell that causes overwhelming fear. She does this in hope of overpowering the influence of the Traveller with her own, or at least get them to drop their weapon.
1st level:
Aching Dread
Necromancy [Fear, Mind-Affecting]
Level: Cerebrant 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 10 ft.
Targets: All enemies in a 10-ft. radius burst centered on you.
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Your mere presence alters the psychological landscape of the surrounding aether, injecting it with unseen phantasms and suggestions of danger born of cyclopean vistas. All creatures within the area are stricken with a feeling of horrible dread that causes them to become shaken for the duration.
Cerebrotic Escalation: Instead of merely attempting to shake your foes, on a failed save they are frightened (for 1 round/level). However, if you attempt this escalation, you must succeed on a DC 13 Will save. On a failed save, the spell fails and is lost, and instead you are frightened for 1 minute.
She escalates it
Will
[1d20+9 = (7+9) = 16]
Save DC 21 for the enemy.
This also triggers her frightful presence. Save DC 21.

Assuming Posey's turn is over, Kira slithers back 5 feet out of the threatening range of the pony in front of her. She draws three arrows, firing two in the first draw and one by itself at the hellhound in front of Silver.
Manyshot:
[1d20+8 = (5+8) = 13]
[1d8+6 = (8+6) = 14] [1d6 = 2]
[1d8+6 = (3+6) = 9] [1d6 = 4]
Third Arrow
[1d20+7 = (17+7) = 24]
[1d8+6 = (6+6) = 12] [1d6 = 2]

She levitates a bone over
"अस्थि?"

Power Attack: With the hellhound still up, Silver raises his sword above his head for another might blow, the blade crashing into the ground where the hellhound is, whether the hellhound gets hit or not.
Attack: [1d20+6 = (9+6) = 15]
Damage: [2d6+20 = (7+20) = 27]

>To some small degree, yes
What is a small degree? Do they gain the frightened condition from the spell
That escalates to panicked if they also lost the save vs her presence, not the penalty on saves from the frightened condition.
If they're frightened, they have to flee and cannot attack for the duration. If they're panicked, they drop whatever they are holding.
Dreadful Wrath should come into affect before the spell.
I don't mean to nitpick, but I need to know if my tactics are effective if I'm going to continue to spend precious spell slots next encounter.

Brie is gonna delay his action until Dust's turn
"Two guns in the mix"

Resdy action. Charge mpve against one of the gunmen

Dust
Is it my turn then?
Dust is mad about getting hit in the flank, like, pretty mad. He decides to to take a page out of Silver's book.
With an incredible, almost excessive and reckless windup, Dust raises his flail and attempts to crack it over the pony that hit him.
Using full power attack (-4 to hit, +8 dmg)
[1d20+5 = (15+5) = 20]
[1d10+14 = (5+14) = 19]

Dust immediately knocks the pony on the head, and knocks him out

These are not standard monsters, they are all under mind control. And what is mind controlling them is of the same nature as the type of scare that Posey is using. So are they supposed to be affected because they are getting an even more harsh dose of the same as what the puppeteer is giving them? Are they actually mostly under their own volition, and thus pretty normally vulnerable? Is Posey actually just showing the puppeteer these images, and thus they will be shrugged off?
This is on top of questions about how the fear affect actually works, like how many hit die a creature must have in order to be affected by it.
It's a hell of a lot of dice and numbers and things to think about
>>183813
Attack of Opportunity, because Brie has to blatantly pass the pony that is standing right in front of him to do this

Cavaliere glances over to the lamia, regret briefly flashing over his stoic face.
>>183830
Isn't he next to Silver and therefore one of the hellhounds? His first shot would have provoked an attack of opportunity.
Anyway, although he is out of reach of the fire, he leaps back (takes a five-foot step) away from the left hellhound (hopefully not into proximity of one of the pony puppets!) and pulls the trigger twice on the large creature, aiming for the head.

Idk if that's how ranged attacks work in 3.5e, but whatever. It's my turn anyway, so I'll just do it now.
Posey charges towards the officer and attempts to disarm him with a slam attack
She risks an AoO from the wrench guy.
