"Blessings of the night."
Ranalus moves up and casts Prayer. This will catch all the PCs, the dragon, and (though Ranalus doesn't know it) the blue kobold.
SR check if necessary:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
+1 luck bonus to attack, damage, saves, and skills; -1 to all for enemies. Will last 7 rounds.
Ranalus has Fate's Favored so +2 for him.
He also has DR 10/Cold Iron, DR 3/-, and Resist Cold 20.
It's not really clear to me where is fogged and where is not. If I can target the dragon without fog I will, if not I will move and target the green Kobold
Without hesitation Kuriq releases a pair of flaming shocking arrows. "I'll provide cover, go!"

And to think I moved so as to spread out and avoid the breath weapon targeting everyone...Crios would go with Shield as his first round buff. He has Resist cold 5 naturally, so the damage looks to be 23 on a failed save.
Crios grunts with pain as the air freezes around him, overcoming his innate resistance. He can't seem to remember much about white dragons beyond the obvious.
He casts a spell to increase his reach and flies up and over near the blue kobold.
It looks like the Dragon was in the cloud and the kobolds are just on icy/slick ground. I marked Crios as 10' in the air so he isn't offering cover to the kobolds from his ranged friends, and they likely won't realize he has reach immediately. He cast Long Arm.
M Tiefling Alchemist (Grenadier) 6 - HP 32/45 - AC: 27*/T: 16*/FF: 21* - Resist: Fire 5, Electric 5, Cold 5 - Perception: +8*, Darkvision 60' - Fort: +8, Ref: +12*, Will: +2* (+1 vs Curses) - CMB: +5, CMD: 21* - Speed: 30' - Init: +6*
Actually, I'll take the attack on the blue kobold over the Cold Resistance. Reavis has Cold Resist 5 already.
Reavis Reflex:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13
23 Cold damage after Tiefling Resistance. Reavis loses his 10 Temp HP to take 13 damage in total.
"Brrrrr. Assuming it can't do that all the time, that dragon's bound to come out of the fog eventually." Reavis says confidently as he tosses another bomb at the blue kobold.
Using Precise bombs to avoid hitting Crios, but the other ice squares around blue getting another 12 fire damage.
@Kuriq -- just to be clear the dragon doesn't have concealment this turn; you want to target it? The greyish portion of the template is were the fog is; he's 1/2 way out of it.
From round 1:
Reavis blast the blueish kobold with a bomb, it yelps is pain but is still standing.
Ranalus casts prayer seeking aid from the old first world god he follows. Crios flies over threatening the burnt kobold. Reavis ends it's suffering with another bomb. The ice surrounding the dead kobold is melted away. Kuriq bow springs to fiery life!
I will choose the the ER(cold) for this Reflex save:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 Cure moderate wounds:2d8 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 6 = 17
Anduris moves forward to try to get a better look at the situation. Wondering how high the dragon is and seeing if his flaming sphere he has memmed could work.
Anduris manages to avoid some of the breath weapon, and then heals himself, as he studies the dragon. Kuriq's arrows hit the dragon, the first of his fire damage seems to only burn away some kind of sheen covering the dragon, but the second arrow's fire seems to be especially effective against the frosty menace. Kivuli hustles along the wall unnoticed, and nestles up close to one of the kobolds.
The dragon speaks
Draconic:
With disdain in it's voice, A Dwarf! It's mine! Take out the archer!
It swoops down at Anduris, snapping a bite at the dwarf and tearing deeply into the occulist, before flying back into the heavy fog.
Anduris may take AOO if he has reach.
The kobolds both fire their crossbows at Kuriq. The greenish one opening himself up to Kivuli's attack. One misses, but the other connects with a solid strike.

Did you count the dragon's -1 to hit and damage from Prayer?
Seeing the dwarf gravely wounded, Ranalus moves to heal him. "Anduris, fall back!" Dispel -> CSW:3d8 + 7 ⇒ (8, 1, 3) + 7 = 19
What does he know about white dragon spell-like abilities?
Arcana:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Not much.
He has his rapier in hand if an AOO comes up.
"Grr.." Kuriq growls as he watches the dragon disappear into the fog. Turning his attention to the Kobolds who just aimed their weapons towards him, he returns the favour on the red eyed kobold.

Noting the amount of damage sustained by his companions from the dragon, Reavis scratches his chin for a moment before deciding to drink an extract of Shield. He then moves closer to the fog, while informing those who don't speak Draconic, "It hates dwarves. I guess some stereotypes are true."
"That my friend Renalus is the soundest idea I have heard today." Anduris staggers back and takes a moment to pull out another wand that would be more appropriate for moments like this...his cure light wounds wand. He will be sure to use it next round.
The wayang follows up with another thrust of his blade into the reptilian archer, before moving along the wall.
Estoc vs GREEN {PA, Prayer}:1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 1 = 151d6 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 14 + 1 = 19
If kobold is dead before my turn... :
The rogue once again disappears into the shadows and closes in on his next target.
Fast stealth:1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 21 + 1 = 36 Estoc vs RED {flat footed PA, Prayer}:1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 = 201d6 + 14 + 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 14 + (3, 2) + 1 = 25
kivuli's unexpected attack nearly ends the kobold but it fights on. Ranalus heals Anduris, who retreats for further healing. Kuriq's first arrow pierces the kobold, but his second one misses. Now aware of Kivuli's presence the green kobold avoids the second stab of the estoc. Crios's joins Kivuli and drops the kobold. Reavis buffs his defenses, as the Dragon emerges once more from the fog in the direction he last saw the dwarf. Finding instead an elf-kin, he moves to attack Ranalus. Flying by, the dragon reaches out for a bite. He bites down hard on the feysworn, but his protections less the blow considerably. The dragon retreats once more in the fog, avoiding the Pathfinder's reaches. The red kobold also retreats into the fog.
Drat's forgot my judgement bonus to hit in the last round, but no worries.
Without a clear target in sight, Kuriq plays the waiting game, keeping his eye on the prize and his bow ready to attack should the dragon appear once more. "Come out coward!"
Move and Ready Action to hit dragon once it's out of concealment.

Divine Favor -> CLW:1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 "Is that it, beast?"
Ranalus heals himself and remains where he is in hopes of drawing more attacks from the dragon.

Crios snaps his wand of infernal healing to his waiting hand and activates the magic before he soars over toward Ranalus and Reavis, ready to defend his team as best he can should the dragon come in reach of his staff. With reach, he might get an AoO.
red kobold v. Kuriq:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 damage:1d6 ⇒ 1
Ranalus heals himself after the dragons assault. Kuriq readies his bow. Crios casts his infernal healing from his wand. Reavis readies his attack as well. The dragon emerges from the fog and again. Kuriq's arrow connects with the dragon, as does Reavis's bomb, the fire damage seems particularly effective on the frosty dragon. This time it flies toward Reavis, Crios takes a swing and a miss at the beast. The dragon takes a bite at the fire wielding tiefling, but misses the bomber before once more retreating to his cloud.
The kobold steps from hiding and fires a bolt at Kuriq, it hits Kuriq, but is a glancing blow at best.
Kuriq doesn't relent in the face of the kobold's attack. He maintains his nerve as he keeps his bow held high, focusing his aim towards the fog, waiting for the dragon to emerge.
Ready action to fire dragon if it appears out of concealment.

Ranalus readies Sound Burst if the dragon emerges from the fog (or is visible on the edge of the fog).
Readied Action:
Damage:1d8 ⇒ 6 Sonic damage, and DC 16 Fort save or be stunned 1 round. Probably not great odds, but the -1 to saves from Prayer applies.
M Tiefling Alchemist (Grenadier) 6 - HP 32/45 - AC: 27*/T: 16*/FF: 21* - Resist: Fire 5, Electric 5, Cold 5 - Perception: +8*, Darkvision 60' - Fort: +8, Ref: +12*, Will: +2* (+1 vs Curses) - CMB: +5, CMD: 21* - Speed: 30' - Init: +6*
The Tiefling grins broadly as the dragon's attack misses, drawing his quarterstaff afterwards in case the creature comes too close again. He then readies another fire bomb to lob at the cold dragon.
Readying another action to throw a bomb if the dragon becomes visible within 30 feet. Using the boon outlined below to increase damage.
From Shades of Ice Part III
You defeated Aralantryx, the Shadow Lodge’s enslaved white dragon, and gained special insight into how to kill others of her kind. You may add an extra 1d6 points of damage to a single damage roll made against a true dragon at any time in the future. This damage stacks with other bonus damage such as sneak attack and is not multiplied on a critical hit. When this bonus has been used, cross Dragonkiller off your Chronicle sheet.
My apologies, but due to a copy/paste error, I've been rolling the wrong damage in my two attacks previous to this one. I should have rolled 3d6 instead of 3d8. I've correct the mistake now. The kobold was defeated, but please allow me to reroll the damage from my first attack on the dragon and take whichever is lower. 3d6 + 10 ⇒ (6, 1, 6) + 10 = 23 is higher than what I rolled on the 3d8 from my first attack on the dragon. I'm also completely cool with saying the attack did no damage.
***ROUND 4***
Again, the rogue continues to pick his way down the wall in the haze, his enhanced reach allowing him to stab at the red clad archer.
Fast Stealth:1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 21 + 1 = 30 Estoc vs RED {flat footed PA, Prayer}:1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 1 = 161d6 + 14 + 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 14 + (2, 6) + 1 = 27 AoO vs RED {PA, Prayer}:1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 = 231d6 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 14 + 1 = 16
***ROUND 5***
Kivuli stabs at the red archer again!
Estoc vs RED {Prayer}:1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 = 231d6 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 14 + 1 = 21 If the archer dies, then Kivuli will use a move action to retreat along the wall the way he came.
Kivuli emerges from the shadows but misses his jab. Ranalus, Reavis, and Kuriq all ready for the dragons return. Kivuli gets a second shot at the kobold, this time his estoc is equal to the challenge, the kobold falls.

"I suppose with it being the weakest of dragon kind we should have expected such cowardice as hiding. It really is a shame though as I had hoped to meet a much more majestic creature." Crios says with an oddly calm demeanor as he floats forward a few feet and readies for the dragon to attack.
Readied Action & possible AoO:
Crios focuses his mind as the dragon comes in, looking for weak points in the dragon's thick hide.
Anduris steps forward a step and unleashes a energy blast hopes is the bane of the cold dragon. He attacks with his Occultists school implementation fire energy blast.Energy blast Fire:5d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 4, 5, 4) = 21 save vs.16 reflex for half with a 20 foot radius...will center it in the middle of the cloudy area in which it hid about 20 feet from what he can guess is the roof.
While Crios readies another attack. Anduris emerges healed and hungry to exact revenge on the white dragon, he aims his energy blast inside the fog where the dragon surely hides.
Roarrrr! A great painful roar erupts from the dragon as the fire washes over it.
You shall all die, FROZEN where you stand! Like Ivvora in this very chamber! The dragon bellows clearly ready to unleash it's icy breath upon you!
And like a rush it comes, out of the fog bank. Badly burnt and clearly enraged! It begins to open it's mouth to pour forth it's cone of cold, once more. But the ever ready Pathfinders are prepared for the challenge. Almost simultaneously Ranalus releases a sonic burst; while fiery projectiles rain in from Kuriq and Reavis. The dragon is pushed backward, doing a back-flip in mid-air from the force of the attacks, and then plummets lifelessly to the ground. Crashing into the the great pillar in the center. The icy pillar, the final resting place of the frozen corpse of the hero Ivvora!

Ranalus heals those in need with his remaining spell slots and Channels, then turns to examine the icy pillar.
"The Kellids would be most interested to learn of this place, and the final resting place of the hero who saved them so long ago. I imagine they would treat her with respect and make pilgrimages here. We should report back to them about what we have found."
With the dragons defeated and their kobolds fleeing, the Pathfinders assemble in the deep cave. With her phantom Anok in tow, Medda approaches the frozen column and brushes away the outer layer of frost. Frozen within the column is a dwarven woman in steel armor, her body torn as if by immense claws. With her hand pressed against the ice, Medda pleads. “Ivvora, I have found you. Now what? Vildeis said to find you and that you would help me, but how can we help you in this state?”
“You look to me when you should look to the evil that stalks our homeland. It is not I who needs help,” declares a voice that is both sweet as music and powerful as a thunderstorm. The frost melts away from the column, revealing dozens of clear facets that dribble melt water as if from open wounds. The image of a wounded angelic figure reflects in each facet, simultaneously warming the chamber and judging all that the angel sees. “As you can see, I serve Vildeis more directly than before.” The images look to Anok. “I see you took your oath seriously, Anok. I was wrong to have doubted your conviction. How are our people?”
The red phantom’s hue turns rosier as he looks to Medda and responds, “You would be proud.”
With a nod, the angel addresses everyone at once. “Then why do you seek me?”[b/]
[b]“Eshimka has returned,” Medda announces. “We fought off the horror once, but it shall return at the next solstice.”
The angel’s eyes flare with righteous fire. “Then you will need a weapon to defeat it, as I had. Vildeis granted me the blade that I gave your people, but only after I thought I had given everything to vanquish my greatest foe. Even now I can sense evil has returned to that land, far to the south in a forest where the Whispering Tyrant’s legions once ruled. Show our patron Vildeis the same dedication that I did, and I shall ask that she equip you in the same way.” With that, the angelic images fade from the melting column.
Medda addresses the gathered Pathfinders. “I believe I know the forests Ivvora mentioned. You have already done so much, Pathfinders, but I invite you to help more. After I give Ivvora the burial she deserves, I will set forth with all who are able and willing for the Fangwood.”
@Table GMs: Thank you for running Solstice Scar B. Please remember to roll for boons and report the scenario.
