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.

Alvin chooses to be conservative for now and casts another Magic Missile at the Earth Elemental.
Magic Missile:5d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 3, 2) + 5 = 17

The snake misses on both the opportune strike and the follow up.
Ragner sinks a few arrows in while the rest glance off its body.
in reference to Hugsy wound, clay golems have a special abilty call cursed wounds
cursed wounds:
The damage a clay golem deals doesn’t heal naturally and resists magical healing. A character attempting to use magical healing on a creature damaged by a clay golem must succeed on a DC 26 caster level check, or the healing has no effect on the injured creature.

I'm not certain if Alvin's missiles are going to kill Big. If they don't...
Sir Godfrey will continue to lay into the huge monster, grunting from the massive fist coming down on top of his head. He spits blood out to the side and gives Gwynnis a red-toothed grin. "Worry not, I can take at least a few more blows. The Dawnflower protects me!"
If it dies from Alvin's attacks attacks he will instead spring attack at the Clay Golem using his first attack roll and return to hiding behind hugsy so he doesn't have to be moved on the map.
Alvin missles connect, but does not seem to phase it. Sir Godfrey's attack glance off the rock earth. His shadow creature manages to sap more strength.
The elemental retaliates and slams both fist down onto the paladin, driving him into the ground.

Seeing Sir Godfrey collapse like a burst balloon Logan despairs a little, this isn't going well....
Focus your attacks on the Golem he shouts, I will try and deal with the elemental but try and stay the hell away from it!
Floating in place he lets his mind expand, delving into the deepest reserves of his strength. Curling green vines spread across his body, wrapping around his arms and throat, until, with a shout of ENOUGH they spiral from him wrapping around the elemental, driving into its rocky body and burning at its mind.
Actually, you, hideous shadow monster, you can keep attacking it, hopefully you can confusion lock the stupid thing!

Just a quick reminder for everyone about how confusion works. If you attack a confused creature it will attack you on its next turn, you do not roll on the random action table. So I strongly suggest leaving the elemental for the shadow to deal with.
Sir Godfrey crumples like a wet bag and begins to bleed profusely on the Golems feet in his best efforts at harming it. The paladin is an utter mess, everything just a little flatter than it should be, but his hair is still PERFECT.
He is considering how best to adjust his strategies for the remainder of this mission, and thinks hit and run tactics will soon be in order. He should have brought a spare set of lighter armor.
Stabilize:1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 - 2 = 6
Godfrey opts to continue his bleed on the enemy tactic, as it seems to be effective.

The shadow is probably upset about its master becoming tiling for the comet's surface, it's rather hard to tell. Harder to tell if it even noticed what Logan said, but it doesn't hesitate to continue what it was doing.
The wispy form of its sword swipes at the now confused elemental.

Alvin, understanding how Confusion works, thinks that the Shadow can now take care of the elemental.
"Can't do much to the golem. Will just let the Shadow take care of it, as I don't think it can hurt the Shadow, but the Shadow can definitely hurt it."
Honestly, the Shadow can lock the Elemental onto him with strength attacks and the Elemental can do nothing about it. Could just let them "duke it out" for 10 rounds.
The snake catches the elemental's attention and brings two rock appendages down on the snake.

The elemental is confused and has been attacked by the shadow, I believe it must therefore attack the shadow.
From Confusion: Any confused character who is attacked automatically attacks its attackers on its next turn, as long as it is still confused when its turn comes

I strongly suggest you all get the hell away from the huge elemental and let the shadow murderise it! Logan shouts as he flies across to get closer to Sir Godfrey in case he needs help.
He draws a wand as he moves and activates it, turning himself invisible, just in case.
Move action to move 40', draw wand as part of move, turn invisible as standard. Logan drops to 20' up as he moves.
Gwynnis tumbles past the elemental's limbs, then touches Sir Godfrey with a wand, returning him to consciousness. "Stay down! I'll distract it in a second so you can stand up."

I think the idea is to let the shadow attack it 10 more times, right, since Confusion will last that long? If so, Godfrey could heal himself in that time.
I'm at work, but I haven't been able to access the site until now with it going down yet again. I'll post when I get in tonight, but if you want to shove on then Godfrey will stand and run off, then spend rounds healing with a wand. The shadow will continue sapping the elemental of all its strength.

If that's the case, the shadow can make 10 attacks and we can fast forward it 10 rounds later. Hopefully, he can do enough strength damage to take down this thing.

The shadow decides to have a grand old time as fists of rocky fury simply pass directly through it as it happily gets revenge for its retreating master. If the thing could cackle it probably would be.
Godfrey gasps back to awareness when Gwynnis's wands affects him, and seeing the elemental thoroughly distracted he certainly does take the chance to stand and back off. Grabbing his sword as he goes so not to leave it where it will do him little good, even in his battered state.
He stumbles, but manages a weak salute and bow. "Thank you, M'lady. I fear my eagerness has proven my own downfall in this instance. I shall..." He sways where he stands, but gathers himself with a shake of his bloody head. "Take some time to gather myself."
Once out of the immediate melee he'll pull out his own wand and begin working on sealing up his wounds, waving it about and proudly shouting out the command word.
Godfrey wakes with 10 rounds left, 1 to stand and get his sword, 1 to move and draw his wand, and he's starting at 5/81. So 8 rounds to heal himself while the shadow works.

When it becomes clear that we are saving valuable resources by letting the shadow defeat the elemental Ragnar will try to heal Hugsy with his wand of CLW. Skip that if someone tells him it won't work. Then when that proves fruitless he'll go help Sir Godfrey heal.

The elemental and the shadow slug it out. A short while after, the elemental runs out of strength to continue, he fades into the asteroids surface.
The group heals up and heads out and in the direction of the crater.
If you want to heal the snake of the cursed wound damage. You need to do a DC 26 caster level check for each attempt time traveling to next area:2d10 + 10 ⇒ (4, 2) + 10 = 16
From the edge, the crater’s bottom is a distant sight, and the vastness of stars and void looms overhead. Some incredible force tore open the ground here, leaving the stone shattered and sharp. The rocks are unusually warm to the touch and willfully twist and cut when grasped. In contrast, the gentle breeze pouring up from below is pleasant and hale.
Getting to the bottom of the crater will require a series of climb checks. If you wish to aide a fellow pathfinder with the check, you can choose to increase the difficulty of the check to grant that PC a +5. If a PC fails a Climb check by 4 or less, she makes no progress during that turn, which might result in her allies descending to the next part of the crater without her. If she fails by 5 or more, she tumbles down the side of the crater, reaching the next lowest part of the crater before catching herself.
Alternatively, a PC can use any spell that allows them to fly or descend gently (e.g. feather fall) to automatically succeed at one Climb check if the spell has a duration of 1 round/level or less. Any spell that has a duration of 1 minute/level or more allows that PC to automatically succeed at all three Climb checks. However,using such spells does not allow a PC to aid her allies’ Climb checks as noted above.
So for this round. Climb check will be DC 21. If you fail by 4 or less make another check.
fail by 5 or more:
you take 10d4 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 1, 1, 3, 4, 2, 2, 2) = 22 fall damage. But hey, you make it to the next level!!
So, this one is a little odd for me. Not only do I have slow fall, but I climb twice as fast as everybody else. Could I get a ruling on the distances covered?
That's the hard part. Does not give me distances. But if you have slow fall, I am thinking you can get by with out the check, unless you want to help some body, then you will have to roll. But by how fall rules are usually applied I wanna say each leg of it is roughly 100ft.

"If you want to jump off, I studied the Feather Fall spell today and could get all of you that aren't flying."
Is it more than 600 ft. deep? The amount of damage dice from falling might tell ya.
I think slow fall would just decrease my damage to 6d, on a 100 ft. drop.
Would you allow me to make two checks per "round" or move double distance with one check, because of my 60 ft. speed? If yes, then I will probably do something like secure a rope until everybody else is down, then bring the rope with me.
Edit: I think we have 300 ft. of rope in the party.
The way it is set up is by round, one check equals a success and you get to the next level. If not everyone makes it, some people get left behind. And you are correct, I thought slow fall worked as feather fall, but I was mistaken. If that is the case alvin. Since you are level 10, I guess that would be a minute. Is that something you all want to do?It would get you guys through this scenario with out rolling or a bunch of nonsense.

And the underestimated spell Feather Fall proves to be awesome again. Ragnar has climb and Hugsy can't fail that check but sure Feather Fall on the party sounds like the smart way to go.

DONE. One of the best uses of that level 1 spell ever.
Alvin readies over the chasm for everyone who doesn't fly to jump, casts Feather Fall and Alvin and Riddywipple fly down with them.
Edit: Also, remembering his spell list, I would like him to cast Message on everyone too.
Sir Godfrey is a capable climber, but after recent events involving a misunderstanding between him and some rocks he's entirely comfortable taking the easy way down via featherfall.

Logan peers over the cliff edge half listening to the others. His hand strays to the half rolled up parchment which lies gently against his skin and his mind burns with the knowledge of the feather fall spell. He slowly withdraws it, no, let him have his moment
Ragnar, I don't think any of use possess the magical strength to reliably heal Hugsy, maybe Sir Godfrey's lay on hands might work but it seems like a long shot. Do you want to keep him with us, it may cost him his life?
Before they descend into the crater Logan weaves a couple of spells.
Logan casts extended see invisibility, false life for 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 temporary HP and shield on himself. He taps himself with a wand of heroism
