The passageway widens into a cylindrical cavern, the walls black with soot and scorch marks. The two young red dragons you were warned of sit in the chamber guarding the passage beyond.

Ah, fiddlesticks. I was waiting for the other players to call their heals before proceeding to the buffing. Can I retcon to cast resist energy (communal) on the party? I'm asking because we were specifically warned against a pair of red dragons. That would give everyone in the party resist fire 20. The following action assumed retcon can be done, otherwise I'll cast the resist fire spell now.
Lucian raises his heands towards the ceiling, praying Desna. "Mistress of the Stars, alas we cannot see the stars where we are, but let them shine in our hearts!"
@Lucian: That's fine with the resist energy. You were warned about dragons.
Lucian says a prayer over the group! One of the dragons calls out haltingly, "We swear to roast you in twin steams of fire!" And yet, despite what it said, the two dragons move up together to bite at Seal!
Rissi knows that red dragons are immune to fire and vulnerable to cold. Like most dragons they are immune to sleep and paralysis but these are not quite old enough to require magical weapons to harm them fully.
Miana then kicks then dragon in the knee for its insolence! Lucian tries to put murderous thoughts in the mind of the other dragon but it resists and both dragons retaliate by spitting flame on the party!

I think the DR 20 applies before the damage is split by shield other, but after it's reduced by the save, right?
If so, 14 and 18 damage for me (direct breath) are negated by the DR.
Sealman takes nothing and I don't take any damage from his shield other.
Rissi failed her first save, so she takes 5 damage and I take 4. is that correct?
Lucian deftly avoids the full brunt of both fire breaths, and immediately counters with a blessing of fervor. As for Evanya, she clings to Lucian's back, cowering until the firestorm is over.
Blessing of Fervor: Don't forget to pick one of the following bonuses that can be changed each turn!
- Increase its speed by 30 feet.
- Stand up as a swift action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
- Make one extra attack as part of a full attack action, using its highest base attack bonus.
- Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.
- Cast a single spell of 2nd level or lower as if it were an enlarged, extended, silent, or still spell.
Note: It doesn't stack with haste! Pick a different or better bonus than those provided with haste.
Lucian and Evanya both pick the +2 to AC/Ref/attack rolls.
The dragon stands little chance against Seal and Kufieno and quickly falls! You have little time to gather yourselves, however, as you are now able to notice that standing behind the dragons waiting for the fight to finish are a pair of lamias!
Kufieno, Seal, and Thunderpuss rush up to block the lamias! One of them asks, "Are you here to pledge your souls to Lamashtu" with sneer on her beautiful face, while the other scratches her claws along the stony floor, creating a discordant sound not unlike fingernails on slate. Their true forms are obscured by the false images surrounding them (1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 and 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5).
Both cast a spell.

Reminder (active group buffs): Good Hope, Prayer, Blessing of Fervor, Resist Fire (20). That's +3 on your Fort save, Seal.
If Seal fails his saving throw:
Lucian asks Evanya to retrieve his his scroll of remove blindness/deafness and give it to him. Then he moves to Sealman and casts the spell from the scroll.
"May Desna grant you the ability to behold the stars again!"
If Seal succeeds on his saving throw:
Lucian moves behind Sealman and extends his hand towards the furthest lamia, casting burst of radiance.
"Behold the starlight, foul creature! May it sear your unholy eyes."
Ref DC 20. The lamia is blinded if she fails, dazzled otherwise. SR if necessary:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19 Blindness/Dazzled duration:1d4 ⇒ 3 Damage if evil:5d4 ⇒ (2, 4, 3, 4, 1) = 14

Seal gives the lamia a Degeneration-X nut check. Then points to red growling, "Thunderpuss, Attack!
The battle cat leaps forward next to Miana. Gnashing its teeth, Thunderpuss bites one of the images in hopes of landing purchase on the lamia's scaly skin.
Miana and Seal prove that they are quite effective at popping the lamia's illusory images. Lucian's spell burns the furthest lamia. Now that so many of you are closer, the closest one laughs deeply and calls out, "Mother of Monsters bring your power upon them!"
negative energy:4d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 4) = 10 DC 17 Will save for half; hits everyone but Lucian and Rissi
The one in the back also calls upon Lamashtu, bringing down a cold, cloying miasma of greasy darkness.
damage:4d8 ⇒ (6, 1, 8, 5) = 20plus sickened for 1d4 ⇒ 2 rounds DC 21 Will save for half and to negate sickened effect If you are not good-aligned you automatically take half and are not sickened; a successful save reduces the damage to one-quarter. Hits everyone but Rissi

Phew! That's a lot of attacks. A monk and a TWF-er suli can put out the hurt I guess!
Miana's first punch misses but the second pops an image. Her fourth and sixth hits leave powerful bruises on the lamia though. Kufieno stabs twice, one sinking deep into the lamia's midsection! Rissi then blocks off the other in a ring of fire.

"Thunderpuss, rage with me!"
Thunderpuss sensing the inner hatred of lamias and all of her kind from Sealman, flattens his ears and narrows his eyes. His fur begins to bristle as feline lips curl back over long fangs. Enraged, Thunderpuss attacks!
If Thunderpuss takes out the Red lamia, Seal with shove pass the Suli toward the pit of acid and wall of fire. Can we get a cloud of cold to round out the elemental hazards =v)
Once near the pit's edge, Sealman leaps acrid maw surprising the snake witch on the other side.
Jump:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21
With a smile and a whirling dorn in his hand, Seal begins to smite the remaining lamia.
Dorn o' Doom vs Blue Lamia:1d20 + 23 ⇒ (2) + 23 = 252d8 + 25 ⇒ (5, 4) + 25 = 34
If Thunderpuss did not kill Red lamia, please use the attack above against Red Lamia. Should the lamia die from the single attack, Seal will still jump the acid pit. If that attack doesn't kill Red lamia, then use the iterative attacks in the spoiler box.

Seal is outside of the threaten pit range, but thanx for the heads up. BTW, I messed up my order of operations this morning. Seal was supposed to have +30 to movement instead of the +2 to Hit/AC/Ref. So that will be -2 to his attack rolls in the last set. But +12 to his Jump check! =vD
Thunderpuss's tail wags approval from being healed by Desna's forgiving light.
I can in theory damage you going through the wall, since we only have resist 20 fire 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (3, 5) + 12 = 20 ... but I don't. And no, I haven't had a chance to scribe the cone of cold scroll yet, so you are frostbite free for the moment. Besides, it would just take out the wall of fire.
Thunderpuss only connects with a single claw and Seal is unable to hurt the tough lamia! Surrounded by enemies, the red lamia switches to her falchion and lays into Thunderpuss!

Thunderpuss crumbles before the critical blow dealt by the red lamia. Seal is distracted by his fallen companion, leaving himself open for the lamia's final attack.
Seal & Lucian each take 9 dmg
Seal further fires his fury as he unleashes a battery of attacks to kill Thunderpuss's assailant.
