Aucturn’s Tear is tied to the Elemental Plane of Earth and has stronger gravity than other objects its size, but it is still only one-fifth that of Golarion. PCs can jump five times as high and lift five times as much as normal, and projectiles have their range categories quintupled. Reduce the die size of damage dealt by falling to 1d4. Certain effects such as elemental interactions and areas may have different gravity. Creatures in a region of high gravity weigh twice as much, move at half speed, can jump only half as far, and can lift half as much. Their projectiles’ range increments are halved, and the die size of damage dealt by falling to 1d10. A creature under the effects of freedom of movement can ignore the personal effects, but projectiles remain affected.
500 feet above the asteroid, and certain areas inside, are in hard vacuum. Characters that enter hard vacuum immediately begin to suffocate (Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook 445), and become depressurized, taking 3d6 points of damage each round (no save). Sound is muffled as per a silence spell.
thunderous aid:
Ranginori has sensed his saviors are near and attempts to grant them his power and wisdom. During combat, a PC adjacent to the puzzle orb can attempt an Average Diplomacy check, Average Spellcraft check, or Easy Use Magic Device check to direct the Duke of Thunder’s wrath. If successful, a PC can cast one of the following spells as a spell-like ability, using her character level as her caster level and either her own Charisma or 20 to determine the spell’s save DC. She can use any of the spells listed in her own subtier or in a lower subtier. This ability can only be used once per combat, and any summoned elemental disappears at the end of the combat.
Subtier 1–2: cure light wounds, shocking grasp, summon
nature’s ally II (air elemental only)
Subtier 3–4: cat’s grace, cure moderate wounds
Subtier 5–6: cure serious wounds, lightning bolt, summon
nature’s ally IV (air elemental only)
Subtier 7–8: call lightning storm, cure critical wounds,
summon nature’s ally V (air elemental only)
Subtier 10–11: summon nature’s ally VI (air
elemental only)
"Ah! My apologies! Sometimes I have two left feet. Ladies first for the smashing of villains." Godfrey takes the force momentum of the nudge and will wind of shifting over to make room.

Auri's savage strike causes the golem to crumble into dust.
Out of Combat
Each PC can attempt to solve the puzzle or attempt to break a circle. In addition to two rounds that can be used to heal one another.
remember any one who attempts to solve the puzzle orb needs to make a DC 23 will save{fear effect) or be shaken for the next combat. if you fail by more than 5. You will need to make a DC 20 fort save or begin to suffocate, (mind affecting compulsion)
That being said, anyone who was shaken from the previous attempt is cleared now

Logan scrabbled around through his various bags, pouches and packs, his arm disappearing half way inside his handy haversack.
I am sorry, I don't think I have anything that can help...apart from perhaps this? he says...
OK, I have a few things which might assist. Does it seem possible to dispel the effect on Riddy? If not would him becoming gaseous have any effect given he would no longer actually need to breathe? If it is a fear effect does anyone have a way to remove it such as remove fear?
Logan will attempt to solve the puzzle but wait until people have finishing attacking the outer rings to see if that helps.
Ranginori only works for one PC on one attempt, once between combats. If you destroy the right ring, the one causing the fear, it will break the effect as well

Not sure I want to risk Alvin continuing to examine the puzzle while the fear ring is there.
Sir Godfrey, seeing how the circles have impacted Riddywipple and wanting to protect the smarter members of the party from its antics, proceeds to beat it senseless with his great sword. He cares not for fear effects! "Worry not, little fellow. I shall handle this evil circle forthwith!"

"Nice work all! Now, let me see if I can do my part... Riddy, come. There's nothing to be scared of anymore."
Unless someone in the party requires healing from the Paladin, he has done what he can for the puzzle at the moment and simply keeps himself ready and on watch for any new threats sneaking up on them.

I'm assuming the Haste Alvin cast is still going? It was CL 7 and by my count it has been 3 rounds?
Even as the many-faceted prison spins and reconfigures itself, it cannot keep pace with the combined efforts of the Pathfinder Society. A refreshing breeze pours from the immense orb, restoring the agents' will to fight.
Table GMs, the Winds of Restoration condition is now in effect.
Winds of Restoration: The Society has nearly uncovered the Untouchable Opal, and Ranginori unleashes a refreshing breeze that restores the Pathfinders’ fighting spirits. Each PC heals 1d8+10 hit points, heals 1d2 points of ability damage to each ability score, and regains one daily use of a class feature. In addition, each PC recovers one or more spells that has total levels equal to his character level.

Will recall a Dimension Door, Lightning Bolt, and three Magic Missiles. For class features, will recall one use of Invisibility Field.
Move Action
Alvin, seeing another golem, Alvin wants to finish the battle quickly and moves over to the two closest melee.
Swift Action
Not wanting to get attacked himself, he turns invisible with Invisibility Field and makes sure he is in the air in case of Tremorsense.
Standard Action
He casts a Dimension Door so that they can get the jump on the enemy.
"Have at them!"
The golem swings around at Gwynnis as she maneuvers in, but her quickness prevents her from being it.
AOO:1d20 ⇒ 9
Auri swings furiously but only one connects.
The golem retaliates against Auri, its T-Rex shaped fist bites down on her. need a fort save vs petrification DC 19 fort or take Dex drain:1d6 ⇒ 2 attack #1:1d20 ⇒ 11 damage:6d6 + 7 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 6, 1, 3) + 7 = 25

I guess so
Auri starts to slow down...A blue light spills from her hands and covers her in a light mist of holy energy.
Swift LOH:2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9
And then she continues to batter at the golem.
Sir Godfrey had been girding himself for another manful charge at a bone beast when he suddenly finds himself just standing between it and Auriferous. A small warrior caught between two giants. "I have been brought forth to your feet to slay you, vile creature!" It's likely dumb as a box of rocks, but he may as well give it some statement before he puts an end to it. He swings his great sword like a baseball bat, attempting to take the golem out at the knees.
With the help of dozens of other Pathfinders, all working together, the last of the circles breaks!
Sorrina Westyr's image manifests to the Pathfinders, standing before a floating metallic polyhedron scribed with countless shifting glyphs. “We have done it! Now how to open this—”
A great crack interrupts the Master of Spell's musings, as an immense three-eyed giant with skin like hewn stone steps through a tear in space, with an army pouring out past her. The giant bellows so that all can hear. “I acknowledge your strength, little ones, for you have angered my benefactor enough to send me. I and my warriors, the Daemon Prayers, honor it with unyielding death. Seize the Vault! Slay them all!”
Sorrina Westyr urgently pipes in. “We just need a few more minutes to secure our prize and escape. Hold them off as long as you can!”
Drandle Dreng’s shaggy head appears once again in the divination window. “You heard her, Pathfinders!” He says, fist raised. “Go get ‘em!”
Out of the portal comes two figures. One a huge beast with a serpentine body. It has two arms that wield large scimitars that glisten with a green liquid.
DC 21+:
The serpentine creature is a Aghasura, lawful evil, outsider with the Asura, Evil, Extra planar, and lawful subtypes.
DC 26+:
Choose from the cheat sheet
The other appears humanoid and is a lot smaller (Medium). It has three heads and three sets of arms. It carries an array of weaponry, a spear, a longsword and a kukri.
DC 19+:
This is an Upasunda Asura. lawful evil outsider with the Asura, Evil, Extra planar, and lawful subtypes.

Alvin is no longer invisible. It only lasts one round.
The lots of shooting, seems to have really hurt the snake like beast. all shots hit and did full damage
Ragner draws the ire of the snake like beast, she approaches provokes an AOO from the shadow if it has combat reflexes and swipes at him with a massive scimitar. .

Ragner I need a DC 23 fort save vs posion or 1d4 ⇒ 4 con damage.
The multi-armed woman moves up and chucks her spear at Auri, trying to get the large woman away from the orb. Auri dodges it just in time.

Logan doesn't have a clue what any of these things are but he sees that Ragnar is in trouble.
Hold on Ragnar, don't go getting yourself killed, you are the only person between that thing and me!
He raises one hand and intones quickly, bright green roots burst from the ground and try to wrap around the huge monstrosity.
Logan casts hold monster at it. DC27 will save
SR penetration if required:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
If SR is required then I will reroll that, don't think I have used my reroll yet.
SR penetration if required:1d20 + 15 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 5 = 23
He then decides discretion is the better part of valour and flies as high up in the chamber as he can.
I am not sure how high the chamber is but Logan normally hangs around at 10' elevation and can fly 20' upwards, 35' if we are still hasted
Since the this encounter happened immediately after the big bad Dino golem fell, I would still say haste is in effect. I will say the ceiling has to be at least 30-40 since the orb is 20ft diameter.
