Jimbli quietly follows. Being near a being who has shown the ability to nullify his powers (including his means of survival and escape) troubles him deeply.
He simply nods in acceptance of Arsione's suggestion.

I think because ("you can't make out details of the terrain or areas you pass over during transit") it means lingering in the Plane of Shadow to spy or scout on the Prime Material is not effective.
Jimbli is for (1)
Having remained quite a distance from the anti-magic field, Jimbli slowly makes his way back after Amunet calls everyone to return. Once he sees Rokan, Jimbli appears floating at his side. He sends Rokan a mental message "If need be... Wherever she takes us, I can get us out."
Sorry about disappearing for a bit there.. crazy busy.. yada yada.. I'd say if you have a suggested course of action from a player, and another seconding the suggestion (whether in or out of character), then as long as there are no objections (whether in or out of character), that'll be the decision.
The issue is that the effect is personal.. the Display affects Hamza, and Hamza is not in the field (if I understand that correctly). He is then just making a Charisma check vs targets within the field, and charisma checks are not affected by anti-magic.
Jimbli disappears.. reappearing within fifteen feet of Rokan.
His eyes glow for a moment as he grins in anticipation.. he then scans the area for their allies to report what he'd seen.
Sheathed in a cloak which has taken on the pale blue tones of the sky, a halfling walks as if firmly on the ground.. yet he is a hundred feet in the air. He stays above and near Rokan (the only one left of those who'd saved his life), and scouts from his higher vantage point. Things were muddled below - every chamber held forces of unfathomable power. It wasn't until his return to the surface that Jimbli felt how truly powerful he'd become. The blood of his formidable and varied lineage had awoken. It surely wouldn't be long before he was strong enough to travel the planes to search for the one of whom his father spoke.
I'm good... ready to go whenever.
Jimbli pinches the fingers of one hand together at the center of his brow, pulls them outward as if tugging a string, then splays his fingers. There is a brief and barely visible glittery puff which expands then disappears.
He shrugs at Slavathras' warning "I'm ready... let's move." and follows Rokan.
Seeing Hamza laying into the colossal beast, Jimbli moves to assist with a flurry of hurled daggers.
If struck this round: Will use another mythic point to activate Mirror Dodge as an immediate action... teleporting another 30' away.
After the colossal beast snatches Jimbli out of the air in its maw, Jimbli grimaces, then wags a finger "No no! No bite!" The illusory halfling dissipates while the real Jimbli appears twenty feet further away.
I’m visible... about 40’ away.. 30’ in the air
Jimbli hurls ghostly daggers at an impossible rate of speed - first, finishing off the one Rokan laid into, and then into the nearest fungal brood warrior.
“Let’s get this done, and get out of here... the fungal gore stench is starting to get to me.”
Jimbli changes his stance.. keeping his distance as he hurls two translucent daggers at the eyes of the remaining zombies.
He then blinks to the center and fifteen feet above the invisible foes, and radiates a pulse of energy.
Jimbli disappears, and reappears eighty feet north near and above his sonic wall. He hurls several daggers at the nearest fungus men.
The wall is 20ft high... I moved it closer to where I intended it to lie.
Jimbli growls and scowls seeing Ri'Kli'Klik incinerated... He blinks closer to the mass of foes. There is a brief crackling sound as he waves an arm in an arc. A shimmering transparent wall forms just beyond the constructs. He glowers at the three metal foes... wordlessly taunting them.
If struck this round: Mirror Dodge (Su)
When hit by a melee or ranged attack, you can expend one use of mythic power as an immediate action to replace yourself with an illusory duplicate and teleport to any open square within 30 feet of your current position. You take no damage from this attack, which instead destroys your illusory duplicate (similar to mirror image). Using this ability requires a line of effect to the teleportation target square.
Internal Dominion of the Sleeping Goddess: The term “sleeping goddess” refers not to any tangible entity, but a state of being; by focusing your psionic might through the lens of true belief, you become something akin to a minor divine power whose realm lies within your physical form. Through this power, you can outright deny the world when it tries to exert such paltry concepts as “reality” on you. While you maintain this stance, you gain the following abilities:
• You can reroll a failed saving throw, taking the higher of the two rolls. • You can force an opponent who has just hit you with an attack or succeeded at a combat maneuver check against you to reroll his attack roll or combat maneuver check and take the lower of the two rolls. You may only use a single one of these abilities per round, and activating them is a free action that can be taken even if it isn’t your turn.
Jimbli sits cross-legged in the air, and focuses for a moment. He then stands.. faint and thin spears of light emanate from him for a few seconds, and there is the slight scent of ionized air for a few seconds more.
I’m here.. pretty busy IRL, but here
Jimbli - who'd been silent.. slowly nibbling, and floating on the periphery of the group - speaks...
He then raises an eyebrow as the hum begins, and turns to Itko...
Jimbli rushes in.. he flings a glowing blade at the unnatural scorpion as he charges. Another blade appears in his hand as he gets in close. He stabs into its side before disappearing.. blinking a couple dozen feet away and in the air - with another glowing blade ready to throw.

Mirror Dodge (Su) When hit by a melee or ranged attack, you can expend one use of mythic power as an immediate action to replace yourself with an illusory duplicate and teleport to any open square within 30 feet of your current position. You take no damage from this attack, which instead destroys your illusory duplicate (similar to mirror image). Using this ability requires a line of effect to the teleportation target square. if ally is targeted: Deflecting Shot Discipline: Tempest Gale (Counter); Level: 2 Initiation Action: 1 immediate action Range: 30′ Target: One creature Duration: Instant You know well that a sudden shot can disrupt the enemy and remove a potential threat. You can initiate this counter in response to an attack being made against you or an ally within 30 feet of you. Make a ranged disarm attempt against the attacker, using a Sleight of Hand check (d20+28) in place of your combat maneuver check. If your disarm attempt is successful, the attack is negated (even if the weapon cannot actually be disarmed). This disarm attempt does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
That "+5 to attack rolls, initiative, and Reflex saves" in my post should be a +1.. 5 round duration Haste.
Hovering a little above the metal scorpion's position, and seventy feet away, Jimbli centers himself. There is a barely audible hum before he opens his eyes, and lights his crystal hilt with a mind blade, and strikes a combat ready stance.
I think I'm done with my rebuild (I might tweak format for legibility, but done) Jimbli was raised by non-cannibalistic parents who followed the teachings and credos of a self-proclaimed descendant of the fey. His ultimate goal is to travel to and recover something this fey halfling spoke of within the void... but that is something he will not attempt until he is ready (beyond this campaign). For now, he is wholly indebted and supportive of Rokan (the only one remaining of those who freed him). He is a psychoporter who can blink at will up to 80 feet as a move action (and can break that into two jumps to go around corners or whatever) His combat style focuses on sneak attacks via charging attacks, sharing space with large creatures, and very high bonus feinting maneuvers. With his ranged attacks, he is able to be effective with battlefield control: combat maneuvers, denying attacks, and pinning down foes. Defensively, he excels in avoidance (for example... teleporting away or boosting AC to 45 - either as an immediate action) In addition to the rogue/psion/elocater classes, he has 7 levels of War Soul class features. His mind blade is focused through a crystal hilt which has been imbued with soul power from a defeated Celabadon.
Jimbli lays out his blanket, makes it float, then tugs into place above Jin.
After a few moments of porting people across the trap, Jimbli steps forward.. mesmerized by the water and Ito's words on lies within it.
"Food?" He nods "I could eat."
Jimbli eyes the spot where Amunet Ra indicated... "I can get everyone past it... say the word."
Sitting afloat in the air, Jimbli repeatedly "blinks" to keep up...
"I'm sayin, if it comes to a vote, I'd rather kill'em than fool'em."
Jimbli waits a moment for any who need a lift up to the ledge before entering the next cavern. He exudes a slight hint of tar for a brief moment as his coloration changes to match the surroundings. He steps in - five feet above the ground - and searches the near side of it for traps or hidden threats.
"Good. We've got a mission, direction, rest... bound by a sacred oath. Our foes don't stand a chance." Jimbli blinks to the ledge. He waves off Tyren's offer... "Don't need a rope.", then looks to those still below.
Jimbli sits.. hovering cross-legged. His eyes scan the exits for threats.
"It is the growth in my abilities which drives me now. I do have a goal beyond repayment.. the implementation of which has nothing to do with any of you or Athas in general, but with my growing ability to travel the planes."
"Until this oath is broken, I do pledge on the souls of the dead I honor... I will use my abilities to the fullest to assist however I am able, and aid in the fight against whatever may seek violence against us." He smiles to himself, and adds. "I am.. the Bladed Wisp." He stands and takes a bow.
Jimbli rises up to the ceiling of the cavern. He focuses on listening and watching rather than engaging for the time being.
Jimbli points at Devapala Ra'at.. a faint smell of electrically charged air rises as he traces a line with his finger up toward the portal.
After listening in on some of the conversation above them, Jimbli looks to those still with him below.
Jimbli comes out of his moment of meditation when he hears Amunet-Ra react to Hamza's disappearance.
Jimbli furrows his brow, and grits his teeth. In a split-second he disappears, and Amunet Ra takes his place. He is inside the golem's interior for but a moment before he wills himself out. He then summons and hurls a long glowing dagger at the creature from a distance.
