No, Jax is the last of the party to act. Speaking of which, looks like he acted out of turn. Shouldn't matter, really.
The shark under Oddler's spell darts at another nearby, biting ferociously at it! A stream of blood begins to spread through the water! The injured shark swims quickly away, streaming blood behind it. All of the sharks are now swimming around in a frenzy!
Kala withdraws yet another wand and taps herself with it, this time enveloping herself with even more magical protection!
Cast Mage Armor. Ac in () in status bar.
As the party advances on Tsomo, the huge iris valve at the bottom of the docking bay cycles open and water surges through the portal, rising above the level of the dock! Oddler's spell has no effect on the shark, which turns its bloody attention on the Pathfinders!
Targets:3d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 2) = 8
The sharks dart through the shallows, tails threshing the water as they attack!
At the same time, the metal sphere dropped by Tsomo explodes, nearly engulfing Seijiro in flame and shrapnel! It continues to burn
DM Screen:
1d4 ⇒ 2
The dock area is now covered in water four feet deep, making the entire area difficult terrain. Oddly enough, the area within the red outline is also on fire.
"Help me, Oddler! Get this damned shark off me," Molos cries out as he takes a 5' step to the right, away from the creature. He blasts it with his magic missile wand.
Molos - you can't 5-foot step in difficult terrain, which the dock is now, because it's 4 feet deep in water. Would you like to use the wand anyway and provoke an AoO, or do something else?
Seijiro gives the nearest shark a poke, and Oddler gives another shark a good smashing!
Wands don't provoke unless it's a ranged touch attack or something.
You’re right, Jax, thanks for pointing that out. I had it mixed up with casting, I guess. Molos’ magic missile will hit the shark after all.
Molos’ bolt of force strikes the shark near him, leaving it listless and bleeding! As Frost steps forward, Tsomo swings his ranseur again! Frost then deals a powerful blow to Tsomo! The crit did not confirm.
One thing: I’ve been playing that Tsomo can make a 5-foot step on the flooded dock (which is difficult terrain for the PC’s) because he has a swim speed. Does that make sense to you all?
As the sharks swim away, each of them is attacked by a Pathfinder! Seijiro gives his shark a parting poke, and Oddler’s five-sided mace whacks the other shark on the head powerfully! The shark goes still and sinks to the dock, where the rushing water carries it over the edge, lifeless.
The raging fire from Tsomo’s ironflame grenade goes out, and the malenti steps away from Frost and Jax. He quickly draws a potion and drinks it down, causing his wounds to heal!
Moved you Molos.
Acid splash ranged touch 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 191d3 ⇒ 1
Kala manages to get herself close enough to lob a small ball of acid at Tsomo.
Frost – hard as it may be to believe, Tsomo isn’t evil, so you don’t get to add Smite bonuses. I’ve adjusted his HP for the smite damage I counted on your previous attack. On the plus side, the water on the dock has subsided, so you’re no longer in difficult terrain and you can 5-foot step rather than moving and attacking defensively.
As Seijiro bounds nimbly into position, Frost heals himself and swings at Tsomo’s ranseur, but the malenti nimbly moves his weapon out of the way! Tsomo replies angrily, ”I’ll defeat you, and the Lambent Bloom will come to Vialesk!”
Kala and Molos both manage to do some harm to Tsomo with their magical attacks!
Jax just manages to connect with his glaive, cutting Tsomo! With Frost and Seijiro crowding him, Tsomo attacks Jax with his ranseur, his face in a frenzied rage! He then steps off the dock, splashing into the water below!

This guy is NOT evil? That rather creates a few problems :( I think the author is cheating - lemme guess, they have pulled some BS about him being CN or something - that's lame.
Frost is bored by this fellow and drinks her potion of Touch of the Sea

You ever have one of those moments where you mean to check the evil guy’s stat block for his alignment and you accidentally look at the shark’s alignment? No? Well, it’s happened to me at least once. Today, in fact. He’s evil, I’ll add the damage back in.
Jax cures his wounds, Frost drinks a potion, and Molos continues to send stinging bolts of force at Tsomo!

Oddler
Kala
Jax
Tsomo (-17 hp, -2 AC from Blood Frenzy)
It could be worse. The shark bloodrages and hits us with a Ranseur. :P
Kala steps up glad of the space and waves her hand wildly! Speaking slowly.....
"Violet!Red! Purple! Blue! Green! Yellow! Orange! Black!" Color spray DC 14 will save.
Seijiro manages to poke Tsomo with his rapier, but Kala’s spell seems to have no effect, even with Oddler making Tsomo’s life a bit harder. Tsomo kicks away from the dock a short distance, then reaches into a pouch and pulls out another grenade, tossing it at the party! The grenade hits the decking, but doesn’t do anything.
Will vs Color Spray:1d20 ⇒ 13 Will vs Color Sprary:1d20 ⇒ 15

Tsomo (-20 hp, -2 AC from Blood Frenzy, Improved Cover)
You unleash a powerful scream, inaudible to all but a single target. The target is dazed for 1 round and takes 1d6 points of sonic damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d6). A successful save negates the daze effect and halves the damage.
Kala inhales, puffs out her cheeks and widens her stance to brace herself as she S C R E A M S!!!!!!
Molos hurries along the dock to reach the fight as Seijiro draws his bow. Frost leaps into the water and lands a powerful spiked punch on Tsomo! Oddler’s spell takes effect on the shark, but Tsomo resists Kala’s magical scream. Jax swings hard, but the water blocks much of his view of Tsomo and the attack does not connect!
The last shark darts under the dock, swimming hard for Tsomo. The malenti is too nimble, however, and the shark's teeth slam shut on nothing but water!
Shark Will, DC 15:1d20 ⇒ 12Failure Tsomo Fort, DC 14:1d20 ⇒ 11Success
As Tsomo swims a quick stroke away from the dock, his grenade explodes, engulfing Jax and Kala in fiery shrapnel and burning merrily on the surface of the dock! He then stabs at Frost!
Fire Damage + Bludgeoning Damage vs Kala & Jax:2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6, 1) + (6) = 13DC 15 Reflex save for half damage 1d4 ⇒ 1
