Mexel takes a single bite out of the robed man; Amarthecthel attacks twice but an invisible barrier blocks both of magus' swings! So close!
The robed man next to Pelkin lashes out with his fists, the first one an open palm strike to the half-elf's abdomen and the other backhand to the face; his eyes also seem to flash with a black light and he becomes more nimble!

Pelkin's defenses are easily more than enough to handle him!
The room Pelkin teleported to has large dye vats and reels of drying silk; the chamber reeks of acrid chemical odor. However, he also hears the distinctive sound of spellcasting and a bolt of lightning flashes out from behind some of the racks of drying silk, arcing over to also strike Lore!
Granting +4 bonus to Reflex saves due to the looms providing cover
The two are surprised and struck by the lightning as now a large coiled snake with thick scaled plating, but the head of an attractive female human now appears in Pelkin's chamber, although her form is quite blurry.

She's visible under the effect of displacement. 50% miss chance striking her!
DC 25 Dungeoneering:
This is a dark naga, a serpentine creature with a human head capable of speech. They have the spellcasting ability of acomplished sorcerors, are immune to poison, and can read thoughts upon concentration. They also boast a barbed stinger that can deliver a venom that puts its foes to sleep.
"You shall regret defying the will of Dhalavei and the Ebon Destroyers!", she hisses!

I believe you're missing the -4 penalty for shooting through an ally's square; but in this case, you rolled well enough that it's a moot point :P
@Twigg; Don't worry about the AoO now... we'll say you targetted Yellow and I'll roll for his saving throw.
Velidor is surprised when the robed man catches the first bullet going at him; however, the next one fells the robed man. Next shot wounds the now unstunned worker.
Yellow Will:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
"Dhalavei is no laughing matter!", the man shouts at Twigg as he pulls out a vial and drinks it.

He then steps over next to Pelkin.

With the +2 BoF bonus to Reflex the Lightning Bolt will miss me as my Reflex would be +10 (+14 with that cover of the looms). Do I take half damage from that, if so Lore's channel heals it all.
Pelkin yells out, I think I see this fella and some other! Pelkin then continues to attack the man!

Thanks for the heads up but I'm sure I edited my post earlier while at lunch, perhaps the interwebs timed out on me or something. I can honestly tell you it was a bad miss, so carry on.
The worker takes the blow and is still standing, although visibly shaking from the cold coursing through his body.
Meanwhile, Pelkin slices again at the robed man, this time connecting once and sending blood slicing out from the wound.

Sorry for the delay, weekends are usually my problem posting times.
Also had to move you a bit Twigg so you could actually see the naga and sparkle her :)
Mexel doesn't even get close to landing a blow against the man in black. Twigg instead goes after the blurry target in the back with a blast of sparkles.
I had to look it over, but it seems Glitterdust doesn't do anything against displacement; glitterdust says that it outlines invisible things, but displacement doesn't make things invisible. That said, you may still blind her, so let's see!
Naga will:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
The naga curses out in some strange tongue Infernal, trying to use her stinger to wipe the glitter from her eyes.
The worker easily dodges the bolt while Pelkin, hearing the casting, is able to brace himself. Lore all the way in the back takes the blast full on again.
Naga will:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
However, she spent too much time casting and not enough cleansing her eyes of the annoying sparkles.

@Velidor: These are all humans, so your favored enemy bonus kicks in!
Velidor finishes off the last of the mill workers; a shot aimed at the head of the robed man attacking Pelkin is blocked by the doorway, wood splinters showering Pelkin and the robed man. He tries for another fatal shot, but powder doesn't ignite and Velidor readies himself to empty the chamber neatly lest he risk damage to himself and his trusty firearm.

Lore looks through the doorway and narrows her eyes, casts a fireball at the snake caster. She places it so it affects the robed man in black as well, but misses Pelkin.

There is a open door next to me, I don't see why Mexel couldn't come up next to me and attack once the yellow dude goes down. Of course, he can attack the yellow dude now.
After Amarthechel attacks (so he has flanking) Pelkin will also attack the yellow enemy and then shift out of the enemy's flank!
GM My bad, forgot to remove yellow dude; he went down from Velidor's attack! Mexel could move to attack the black robed man and I moved Mexel adjacent to the man.
@Pelkin: Assume then you'd redirect your attacks to the black robed man?
Black Robed man Will:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 Naga Will save:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
That Naga cannot make saves....
While the black robed man is unfazed by the spell and avoids Pelkin's swing, the naga seems to react more slowly.

Yep, I might have tried something on the naga but I'm thinking Pelkin would rather take down the man next to him first. We'll stick with that.
If AC<25, then the target takes 13 points of lethal cold damage and 14 points of nonlethal cold damage, is fatigued. Also entangled in ice for one round.
He manages to land a blow against the half-elf, however, the strong-of-body warrior easily overcomes the attempt to disrupt his internal energies.
The naga, meanwhile, lashes out towards Amarthecthel blindly.
String @ Amarthecthel:1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 - 1 = 21 Miss chance > 50 is hit:1d100 ⇒ 1 Damage on hit:2d4 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 = 4 Amarthecthel Fort on hit:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
However, Amarthecthel's location is still a guess to her and she misses the elf by a wide margin.
Naga Will:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Her eyes flutter as she can finally see the room and its assailants. "You will all suffer for daring to attack the Ebon Destroyers!"

Pelkin will flank the black-robed man and try to take him down! I'll also use a swift action to trade my Protection judgment for Purity, dumping the AC to 28 while boosting my saves by +2.
Pelkin decides the return the favor, sending his blade towards the man's neck; only fate seems to spare him an immediate death as the monk twists his body to take the blow straight into the shoulder.

Mexel finishes off the man in black while Twigg fires missiles that ignore the displacement of the snake creature. Amarthecthel delays, trying to calculate a new plan. Meanwhile, Lore heals more of the party's injuries.
The naga, now alone, concentrates as she prepares another spell.
Crackling with electricity, the arrow pierces the small gnome and shocks her painfully. Calling out in Vudrani, the creature yells out, "I'm gone for half an hour and this is what I return to, Sarpini?!"
Note, despite the placement on the map, the birdman archer is 20' above standing on rafters
DC 26 Kn: Planes:
This is a garuda, typically a noble outsider that battles nagas and other serpentine aberrations. They are exceptional archers and carry with them bows that cause the arrows to be imbued with lightning. Besides having some spellcasting ability, they also are exceptional flyers and can even pounce on a foe with bite and talon when they charge from the sky. Finally, magic or evil weapons are required to fully wound them and they are resistant to spells SR 21 to save some trouble there.
Meanwhile, Pelkin hears other noises coming from behind the eastern door.

No worries; I figure you did not want your gun to explode with that Nat 4 (I think that would have caused a 2nd misfire :P
And I had a fellow gunslinger in my local game go double barrel in the first level of Bonekeep, first attack roll... Nat 1 and Nat 2. Had to use a reroll on Nat 1 to keep her gun from exploding and rolled a 5 at least. The trouble with guns :P

My Reflex is currently +12 but I doubt a 15 will change anything.
Pelkin grunts as the spell hits him! He then casts Litany of Sloth on the displaced enemy! He then decides to do something about the flying enemy in the other room by moving and casting Spiritual Weapon:1d20 + 6 + 4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 22 for Damage:1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11.
Ahh, forgot your judgment that you said called out for the save, but yes, it (barely) did not make a difference.
Pelkin is shocked by the constantly bombardment of lightening as well as the new foe from above. He casts a spell at the blurry naga...
Naga will:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
who shakes off the magic.
Summoning a floating starknife, the weapon assaults the new birdlike foe.
SW miss chance, > 50 is hit:1d100 ⇒ 94
The wound cuts him and he glares at Pelkin. "You have meddled in our affairs far too long, you pointy-eared pincushion!", the bow aiming towards the Desnan.

"I have an idea!" twigg casts minor illusion of billowing fog to merge under the elevated archer. He will fill as many squares as he can immediate under the bird man.
I'll try to get an update later today! Quick gist is Twigg redirected the bird creature's target, Mexel missed, Lore hit, and I need a miss chance from Amarthecthel!
The lightning bolt strikes Amarthechtel and Lore, but both are readily braced for the blast.
"Such simple tricks shall not stop the Ebon Destroyers!", the birdman caws as he dances across the rafters and fires an arrow at a target from the other side.
Velidor spends his next turn clearing out his musket...
"dangnabbit...you spend all this money making the gun not jam so much and then poof here it jams twice in a fight back to back... what good is magic sometimes...i ant wait for there to be better guns.... ones that load by themselves.... that dont jam..."
