"INCOMING FROM NIDAL!  CALL REINFORCEMENTS!  CAST RESISTANCE AGAINST NEGATIVE ENERGY!  INCOMING INCOMING INCOMING!"

Ione Sala will then slump over with blood starting to trickle from her nose.

Otolmens is now COMPLETELY FED UP with the THIRD direct divine intervention in MINUTES.  She has had ENOUGH of these SHENANIGANS.

(For a very exact and particular sense of 'fed up' which would be very predictable, if you knew enough about Her, a series of cumulative provocations with little time to decay putting Her over a threshold.)

She can't do this very often without re-authorization that Pharasma may never get around to giving Her at this rate, but -

IN PHARASMA'S NAME I REQUIRE ALL GODS TO STOP ALL UNAUTHORIZED DIVINE INTERVENTIONS CAUSALLY AIMED AT -

Rapidly, His intentions clearly legible as friendly and Otolmens-goal-promoting, because He knows what Otolmens has trouble sometimes realizing on Her own:  Otolmens if you tell them exactly where to look things may become even more complicated, center it on Ostenso, that will also include the critical region without giving them too much info.

ONE HUNDRED DISTANCE UNITS AROUND <coordinates for the top of the tallest tower in Ostenso>.

Acknowledged, send almost all the gods in Golarion, and then, most of them, start paging Abadar asking if He knows why Otolmens is this upset and if they should also be concerned.

There is one god who is an exception to that, as He is an exception to many other arrangements among gods.

Fuck you, I'll do what you don't want.

There's more to it than that, of course, Zon-Kuthon is not that easy to manipulate.  Zon-Kuthon was somewhat on the fence about Nethys's strange request and stranger warning - He doesn't do what other gods want of Him, usually, but Nethys went more legible than was usual for Nethys and seemed to show knowledge about how the mortal, who admittedly looks rather strange, was likely to oppose Zon-Kuthon's own purposes and have the power to do that for some reason?  That the mortal is in Cheliax is also not a good sign; Asmodeus is foremost among the gods who would actually choose to annihilate Zon-Kuthon and not just dislike Him.  Zon-Kuthon ordered a strike team assembled, targeted, held ready, but has not given them the go sign.

Zon-Kuthon is likewise aware that Otolmens is as wary of Him as of any god save Nethys.  Dou-Bral once fought to seal Rovagug.  Even if the expected balance of pain and pleasure and things that Zon-Kuthon now cares about, changed when Dou-Bral Himself changed to Zon-Kuthon and changed His expected effects on the world, one would expect Zon-Kuthon to be a lot closer to unleashing Rovagug than most other gods.

The latest attempt at Otolmens telling Zon-Kuthon what not to do is sufficient to swing His decision, especially given that Zon-Kuthon does not expect to be caught.

He orders the recipient of His vision to tell the team to attack immediately, and then to kill himself, without mentioning to anyone else that this was a fresh divine intervention rather than a previously given order.  There's a closing opportunity window here, since if the strike team arrives fast enough, the belief of other gods should be that it was already in motion when the edict was laid.  It's very unlikely anyone will see Him about it; any god trying to pay that much attention to all of Nidal would fragment themselves and drive themselves irrevocably mad.

Gorum, Chaotic Neutral god of battle, god of strength and weapons and soldiers, receives a message from a certain Someone who He is rather fonder of, than She is of Gorum.  This is only to be expected, given that Her workings often conduce to His purposes; His workings, to Hers, not so much.

    She offers Him information, under the condition that She wishes it not revealed to other gods that She was the source of that information.

Gorum accepts.  He does not expect to be harmed by the mere reception of information however suspicious, He could always choose to ignore it and do nothing with it.

    Zon-Kuthon is about to violate Otolmens's order in Pharasma's Name.  If you look exactly here, you should be able to catch Him at it.

Interesting.  Yes, there it is.  What of it?  Zon-Kuthon is not as opposed to My purpose as to those of others.

    Zon-Kuthon has not much margin in His tolerance of the expected future state of Creation.  If nothing else is done about it, He is likely to attempt to release Rovagug during an upcoming major disruption to the world.

    As much as You might have wished to use Zon-Kuthon as a counterbalance to Asmodeus, and have been among the foremost proponents of that, events have now been set in motion such that it is no longer safe to try to use Zon-Kuthon for that purpose.  He cannot be allowed to remain as He is now.

Part of the goddess speaking to Him goes legible; She is being truthful, though it is also clear that She is withholding much, for She does not likewise make legible that She is sharing all relevant information.

Some of the shape of the connivance is becoming clear to Him.  Would this upcoming major disruption be any of Your own work, perhaps?

    Perhaps.  If it were, I would wish to conceal My hand and show it to few other gods, with this exception made to reduce the probability of a foreseeable outcome where the world ends up destroyed.

Gorum knows He's being used, of course, but it does not offend Him as it might offend other gods; a soldier is a soldier whether they die for another's profit or their own.  There is only one question He asks.  Will there be battle and bloodshed?

    Deaths shall come faster than Golarion has seen in an age.

Gorum will go along with this, then.

"Passcode to reenter the Forbiddance is 'erecura'," Security suddenly whispers to Keltham. "Say it and run."

And then things start happening very quickly.

Fights among high-level casters, in Golarion, don't last long. Most spells are deadly, and if one side or the other has reason not to use deadly force, there are plenty of decisive ways to end a fight with the other person living but, say, transformed into a hamster, or Plane Shifted, or turned to stone. An outnumbered wizard might have time to get a single spell off, or to empty the contents of their Bag of Holding onto the battlefield, or if they're well-trained to empty the contents of their Bag of Holding onto the battlefield while getting a single spell off, and then it's pretty much over, if they didn't pick that spell well.

He doesn't understand but has ever been through an Alien Invasion Rehearsal Festival so "erecura" and turn to run towards the villa -

Sudden Nidal strike team!  They're mostly flooding in towards the villa, accompanied by a horde of undead shadows, but with other teams placed to guard the villa's circumference.

They spot Keltham and the others.

They can move a lot faster than Keltham can run.  Anybody who can keep that much track of tactical information, happening that quickly, may note that they seem to be interested in Keltham specifically rather than Security or either of the two women.

One of them casts a spell, from a scroll, targeted at Keltham.  Enchantment-compulsion.

Ideally one counterspells that but Security is busy casting Haste and flinging an arc of beads of Fireball out across the whole perimeter and drinking a potion of Greater Invisibility and communicating Keltham's position to the rest of Security and communicating clear places for arriving reinforcements on the edge of the Forbiddance -

Ideally one counterspells that but Carissa, because she is an idiot, assumed that Abadar was mad at Cheliax and that the stuff about Zon Kuthon was a lie and the spells she prepared today are for Keltham's pretend escape - well, she can Fly, and if necessary attempt to drag him into the villa against his enchanted will -

That might have gone a lot more poorly for Keltham if he didn't happen to have an Enchantment Foil.

Keltham now knows that somebody tried to use mind control on him.  He could very easily pretend to play along with it if he wants, let it look exactly like the enchantment is controlling him, but that doesn't actually seem smart because the compulsion is telling him to freeze in place.

Somebody's now in front of Keltham and about to stick an incredibly deadly-looking magical sword in him.  Are Security or Carissa in position to do anything about that?

How the fuck are they - but of course, they're Lawful Evil, and the Forbiddance deters them not at all, and they would've teleported already combat-enhanced -

Carissa is flying over there but not particularly in the expectation that she is faster than that sword -

Security is dead, which is generally what happens when you're hanging out alone throwing enormous handfuls of Fireballs at an oncoming army.

Up to her then.

Obedience and serving Asmodeus's best interests comes naturally to her.  Pilar doesn't actually think about the consequences before she throws herself in front of the sword.

Once the sword is in her she has time to think, very briefly, that it's not what she wanted she can't even be Maledicted but Elysium didn't look that bad after all there are people who'll hurt you there even if they don't mean it.

Then she dies.

Keltham saw it in only a fragment doesn't turn his head to watch the rest because that would be stupid that won't stop them he's going to die (temporarily?) like she did is there anything he can do -

He only remembers then, just then, too late, that he is supposed to have magic now.

He casts Sanctuary.

Random Kuthite assault team members can sometimes make their Will save against a fourth-circle cleric, but not necessarily on their first try.  It also takes a moment to realize why you suddenly aren't choosing to cut down the target who's right in front of you.

Keltham will live for at least another six seconds.

By then Carissa will be there! Spells are nice but the best way to kill someone when you're flying is to drop rocks on their head. She doesn't have rocks but she can cancel the Fly, which is sort of the same thing. 

You'd think that dropping out of the sky on someone would hurt you as badly as them, which is not a good tradeoff when you're outnumbered, but 1) it's possible for even a random civilian to survive a fall from 60 feet if they let their legs break the fall, whereas it's less possible to survive the same force landing on your skull and 2) she has a healing spell almost finished as she lands, which means she's back on her feet faster, which means shortly after that it doesn't matter if the original injuries would've been fatal or not because Carissa can pull the sword out of Pilar's chest and stab him until they definitely are. 

Cheliax has reinforcements teleporting in, by now, outside the Forbiddance. There are enough spells flying that all you can see are streaks of light and all you can hear are explosions and occasional screams. 

Does this dead guy have, like, a dagger, in addition to the ridiculous ornamental sword, Carissa super does not have the strength to wield the sword effectively.

No, and also there's now an additional three Kuthites who unfortunately look more interested in killing Keltham than in killing her.

When your situation is that your wizard is in a hand to hand swordfight with three actual fighters your situation is very bad. Carissa can do a Minor Illusion that she has backup de-invisibling themselves but that's about all she's got.
