If Nowazi is stun I will row the boat to the shore and take it out of the water
After the series of sonic bursts, leaving Nowzai and Sam stunned, Dalamus calls out and draws his bow. Back behind the statue, a lizard-like creature wearing armor made of what looks to be insect chitin steps out of hiding and begins to cast a spell.
Nowzai sits stunned in the boat. Two of the other lizard creatures cast spells, and shimmering saw-toothed swords appear next to Nowzai and Sam striking out at them. The creatures then duck back behind the stone. The third one casts a paralyzing spell at Dalamus
Epik and Magma drive their rowboats forward, .
Jenya shakes off the stun and casts blessing of fervor on the party

I did the rolls in the order that you had requested them, that is how I have done it the whole time. I was unaware that the order mattered to you, above and beyond the order that you listed them in.
Are there any other rules with the rolls? Obviously attack before damage, but anything else?
Sam ... Stunned is -Dex and -2AC putting you at 15
Dalamus, the only roll rule I have is saves are next roll/next post or auto fail. It's been a rule for about a year. Written in the campaign tab and Ive implemented the auto fail pretty harshly.

Using Haste from Jenya, full round attack (-3 for deadly aim).
First target is red (at a minus 4 for cover I believe) and second is yellow (should be without the -4 I think):

Driving Actions: A driver can, at the start of her turn, before taking any other action, take any of the following actions (except the “uncontrolled” action) to control a vehicle. If the driver does not take an action, takes another action, or delays or readies an action, she loses control of the vehicle and the vehicle takes the “uncontrolled” action.
Accelerate (standard action): With a successful driving check, the vehicle's current speed increases up to its acceleration (in 5-foot increments; minimum 5 feet), but no higher than its maximum speed. The vehicle can move forward or forward diagonally. In other words, each time a vehicle enters a new 5-foot square, it can choose any of its forward-facing squares—the ones directly in front or either of the squares directly forward and diagonal. This allows the vehicle to swerve. A driver who fails her driving check can only move into squares directly in front of the vehicle's forward facing.
Decelerate (standard action): With a successful driving check, the vehicle's current speed decreases by a rate up to its acceleration (in 5-foot increments; minimum 5 feet). On a failed check, the vehicle does not decelerate. Either way, the vehicle can move forward diagonally. If deceleration reduces a vehicle's speed to 0, some amount of inertia will continue to move the vehicle forward. The vehicle moves forward (either directly forward or forward diagonally) 1d4 × 5 feet before coming to a complete stop. Having the Expert Driver feat reduces this distance by 10 feet (minimum 0 feet).
Keep It Going (move action): With a successful driving check, the driver can move the vehicle forward on its current facing at its current speed, and it can move forward diagonally. Failing the check keeps the speed constant, but you cannot move the vehicle forward diagonally.
Reverse (standard action): A vehicle may only be moved in reverse if it is at a full stop (movement of 0 feet). On a successful driving check, a vehicle can move backward at half its acceleration, moving either directly backward (the reverse of its forward facing) or backward diagonally. On a failed check, it does not move backward.
Turn (standard action): The driver takes this action to turn a vehicle's forward facing 90 degrees. The vehicle moves its current speed. If a vehicle's current speed is twice its acceleration, the driving check DC increases by 5. If a vehicle's movement is three times its acceleration, the driving check DC increases by 10. If it is four or more times its acceleration, the DC increases by 20. With a successful driving check, the vehicle changes its facing either left or right by 90 degrees at any point during its movement. Do this by pivoting the vehicle so that the left rear or right rear side of the vehicle takes the place of the vehicle's former forward facing side. On a failed check, the vehicle does not turn, but can be moved forward diagonally during its movement.
Uncontrolled (no action): When the driver does nothing or there is no driver, the vehicle is uncontrolled. An uncontrolled vehicle moves forward only (it cannot move forward diagonally). If a vehicle has muscle propulsion, it decelerates a rate equal to its acceleration. If a vehicle is powered by an air current, water current, or some form of weird current, it slows by 10 feet. These decelerations are cumulative. If a vehicle does nothing, it cannot perform vehicular bull rushes, but can still perform a vehicular overrun or a ramming maneuver.
Rowboats: Maximum Speed 30 ft.; Acceleration 10 ft. Starting speed: 5 Driving Check Skill: Survival (or Wisdom Check)
Updated the rowboats size on the map as well
Nemoris sets down the oars and draws his bow . The arrow flies true catching the red troglodyte in the forehead and toppling it over backward, the arrow penetrating the creature's brainpan.
I'll change my blessing bonus to defense and +2 to hit
How dense is the forest to the north of us, I am looking at flying into that area and using the wand of obscuring mist, but I am not sure if it's too dense to fly in to

It sounds like by my turn I won't be able to attack anyone, so I'll plan on jumping to the opposite shore. I'm guessing everyone else will be heading to the shore, and it's going to be hard to get targets without cover.
Can I as a standard action, snag my wand of longstrider out of a wrist sheath, and cast longstrider on myself? If so, that would give:
Acrobatics check:
I think with the boats movement this round, I need 10.5 feet to land safely on the ground at my new location on the roll20 map. I'm not sure if I still have the rest of my movement, or if the acrobatics check is the whole action either.

After looting the bodies, which allowed the party to see that the lead priest was still alive, albeit hurt and unconcious, a short discussion ensued on where to bed down for the evening. Nemoris found the lean-to shelters the trogs had been using and it looks as if they've been holed up here a few days. It also looks like they took this beachhed from a group of gnolls who are now strung up and skinned from the trees nearby the lean-tos. They discussed crossing the river and there were concerns about piranha, alligators, and swarms when Nowzai snapped his fingers recollecting his secure shelter. Within an instant, a stout stone cottage was sitting on the beach, alarmed and locked with simple furnishing for 8 people to rest and study. After some quick healing from Jenya, the party hit the sack.
In the morning, the sound of the jungle insects and the cacophony of the monkeys all awaking near simultaneously startles you awake. Packing up camp, Nemoris assesses the area and determines that a boat was docked here recently and he finds the same armored human tracks that he found at previous incursions, with one notable difference. The individual went in and out along the jungle trail about a week ago and then went in again about 2 to 3 days ago with no departure. He also finds the remnants of 2 campsites in the nearby jungle, matching the 2 sets of tracks.
The party heads out in the morning along the well trodden trail, the foliage continually thinning out as the trail climbs, only to thicken as it drops in elevation once again. Various signs indicate that this is a hunting trail, used both by human-sized biped hunters ... and larger carnivores.
The sounds of wildlife are rich and plentiful. Small insects maintain a constant chorus, while toads croak intermittently, presumably between snacks. Various chirpings, and twittering can be heard from the tree tops, while the distance carries barks, and cries, and sounds of much larger things. Yet above it all is the constant screeching of monkeys, both far off and nearby. They are visible in the trees watching. There is a disturbing sense of intelligent communication in them, almost as if your passage is being watched and passed on ahead.
Instantly, the entire cacophony drops silent. There is a sudden flapping of large, powerful wings; Moments later, a beautiful woman emerges from the dense foliage. She has perfectly white skin and stern, sparkling eyes of silver. A pair of feathered wings spread out behind the woman's back and she raises a flaming sword, which emits a myriad of flickering beams of light.
Though immensely foreign, something about her is somehow familiar; It takes a moment, and then the pictures from the Redhead Miner's Inn, the frescoes depicting Surabar Spellmason standing next to a movanic deva so many centuries ago.
"I am Nidrama, and your actions do not go unnoticed!"
Epik removes his helm and bends to his knee.
"My lady, I am Epik, humble servant of Iomedae and these are my friends. We seek to deliver the city of Cauldron from the grip of tyranny. We are tracking the paladin Alek Tercival in order to return him to Cauldron to take over the position of lord mayor of Cauldron. We believe we are currently following his tracks into the jungle. How may we be of assistance to you?"
Jenya spends the better part of the evening watching the troglodyte, lying in it's own blood in the boat. Twice she's asked to heal the creature, yet the party is conflicted on what to do.
"So what are we doing with this man ... or thing ... or whatever it is. Binding it up and taking it with us? Shipping it down the river with a stern word? We can't exactly turn it over to the authorities, but I can't condone murder in cold blood."
She turns to look at the party, "You all must have encountered this sort of thing before in your adventures. Surely you didn't kill everything you ran across? You have a plan to deal with these sort of situations, right? "
Sam looks at the troglodyte and then at the party, "I say we kill it, it would not hesitate to kill any or all of us and it attacked us without any provocation on our part, when it attacked we were not even heading towards their beach, so I am not willing to say they were just defending their home. If we turn it loose, anyone else it murders for the rest of it's life is on our heads, I am not willing to allow it to continue to attack and kill any one it pleases."
Sam looks at Epik, "Sense evil on it my friend, if it is not evil, then I am all for letting it go, but if it is truly evil, then I say will humanly put it down so it will kill no more innocents."
"I am curious how Alek made it past these without also dying though, very curious indeed..."
Nowzai nods his head respectfully to the deva, but remains wary and cautious for trickery.
***
"We have never slain a prisoner in cold blood, and will will not start now. But this is different... we did not take this thing prisoner and made no effort to save its life. We are not dealing with a ruthless mercenary or treacherous rogue, but a unholy servant of a murderous god. It will thank us for saving its life with a blade in the back."
"I will make no effort to help it, and I will trust in Epik's sense of justice should he decide to arbitrate."
Epik nods at Sam and Nowzai and then focuses on the troglodyte in an attempt to discern if it is evil.
The Dilemma
lady jenya if we let this creature live he will bring back his friends to avenge the ones that fell in battle not to mention their gear that we took from there dead.
On Wings of Justice
In Celestial
My Lady how may we serve the light.
"Let me have some time with this beast this evening. I may be able to get some information from him, and if he does something unruly I will deal with it accordingly. We have never just killed, in fact we have even saved evil creatures, against my better judgement."
Dalamus will follow Epiks lead, and take a knee before the beautiful and majestic Nidrama
Jenya also kneels in awe before the divine creature, who smiles benevolently at you all, turning her piercing gaze on each of you in turn. Nidrama frowns for a moment when she looks at Dalamus but then proceeds on with nary an interruption.
"Good, I am glad I've found you. I have followed your exploits rescuing the orphans, stopping the floods, fighting the rampaging Darklands beast and helping to put out the fires in the city. You are truly heroes of the region, and I believe that I can aid you ... although it may anger my superiors."
"So we are to assume that all evil is irredeemalble? That it is a hopeless cause to turn back to the light? We won't even give it a chance if fails Epik's test? We will mince words over whether or not it's a prisoner by a semantic definition of the word?" Jenya looks aghast at each of you.
"And Magma, you are making assumptions of what a creature will do and then using it to justify killing it. Both your god and mine would not find that to be due justice."
Sam will stand quietly and will only chime in if he feels like he has to
Sam will stand quietly and will only chime in if he feels like he has to
Same, I'll stay quiet and wouldn't be rude by not answering a question, but I'm not going to gush!
At some point Jenya, we have to determine if bringing a captive with us will cause us to fail, and what the results will be if we do. If this was a peaceful race, had surrendered, spoke with us before we fought, or anything that showed the possibility for remorse, then I would hesitate. Our goals however with this quest are too important. If we fail, how many more innocents will die? If we release this horror on the world, how many more beings will die??
You can also see that these creatures carried the holy symbol of an Evil god and this specific Trog appeared to be a cleric. An evil cleric certainly is not something you can want roaming free on this world?
I don't think we can afford to bring it with us, and we can't leave it here, as it could easily take or destroy our boats, and limit our ability to return. I suppose I could fashion something that will float and send it down the river on that, but I can think of no other way that would not certainly delay us.
"Yes, the Troglodyte is evil. But, we cannot execute it in cold blood and we cannot afford to take it prisoner. The only choice we have is to release it. We defeated it once and we can do so again if necessary if it is foolish enough to attack us again."
"Wait a sec Epik...We can not just let it go, at least not tonight! If we release him tonight he could cause us all kinds of issues...Destroy the boats, steal supplies, cause someone harm or even just alert others to our presence. We will keep him prisoner, then deal with him in the morning. Whether that be releasing him, keeping him prisoner or any other ideas that may crop up."
"It is not even conscious, and I would not waste healing magic to wake it. Leave it by the river and let us be on our way."
Lady Nidrama could you help us with this evil creature? We are on a quest to find Alek Tercival. We do not have the time to return this evil creature to redgorge for trial. do you have the means to remove him from the area so he can not pray on the innocent?

Survival checks:
I just don't think we can afford to simply leave an evil cleric behind at a place that we know we will come back to, and were we are leaving gear. We may very well need these boats if someone isn't fit to cross overland on our return.
"We can tie it up for the night. But we will need to release it tomorrow. There really is no other choice."
Epik settles in for the evening.

Epik settles in for the evening.
with no armor and no weapons let his evil protect him
Nemoris builds a raft while Epik ties up the trog and leaves him in the boat. The party beds down for the night setting watches as normal.
Stunned into silence by the presence of the awe-inspiring angel, the party simply listens and waits for her. She obliges,
"Powerful forces of chaos and evil are afoot. I dare not remain here long lest my presence attract the attention of those forces. Yet I could not sit by and watch you march into danger without warning you. The Lord of the Demonskar knows of your approach, and even now his minions prepare for your arrival. They shall use deceit and treachery against you, just as they have done with Alex Tercival before you. You must remain absolute; Alek Tercival must be saved."
"I have no aid to offer you but knowledge. In ages past, I provided to Surabar Spellmason a powerful weapon to assist him in his conflict with the Lord of the Demonskar. This was Alakast, a quarterstaff infused with an undying hatred of the fiends of the outer rifts. Unfortunately, Alakast was stolen centuries ago, ripped from Spellmason's tomb by a grave robber. Yet do not despair, for it is fated that Alakast should be wielded again against the Lord of the Demonskar. It has found its way to you, and all that needs be done is for you to claim it. SeekAlakast in the lair of my false sisters, beyond the watchful eyes of the north."
"That is all I can offer my friends.....I wish you well in your travails, heroes, and never lose sight of your goals."
