Btw, since I assume Red Roc is now going to attempt to shred Mr. P, his current AC is 25 (including Haste and Cat's Grace, and not including the -4 to Dex for being grappled, since it is canceled out by the -2 to attacks that the Roc has for grappling).
Hammerhand finds it much easier to brace against the ground and move rather then when he was flying and is able to progress a bit further, but he's still struggling to figure out the whole "Attacking in wind" thing and misses.
Lucija's great beast is unable to fly, and is held back, unable to move while her other creatures fly forth at blazing speed through the air.
The Red Roc tries to peel poor Mr. P open, but can't quite get at the fleshy bits inside his armor, though it's beak crashes into him so hard he thinks it dented his chest.
Gust:1d6 ⇒ 5
Suddenly, a gust of wind catches Lucija! str:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
The blast of air carries Lucija Distance:1d4 ⇒ 3x10 30ft through the air, rolling her across the ground for buffed:2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12 nonlethal damage and is thrown off the edge of the platform into the air!
Reflex!:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
She's unable to catch the edge of the platform as she's thrown from it! What will our hero's do!

Actually, just noticed that, with the same -3 to its AC, Jothas' attacks on Red Roc may well have hit, in which case it may not still be standing. If so, can I retcon Griff's actions?
Red Roc was up... right until Griff's last talon attack. :)
Bate and Griff pile on the great bird holding onto Mr. Proudefeets, slashing and tearing at the thing's great wings. It gives a cry of pain as Griff goes for the throat, the griffon finally pulling down the much bigger bird to the ground and ripping out it's throat. Mr. P is stained red from head to toe from the flow, but the talons loose their grip on him.

Just to clarify, did Vermin miss Verakas with a 31? Or did he miss for some other reason? Or do we not know?
Mr. P is doused head to toe in red Red Roc blood, as well as some of his own, but by the blessings of Chaldira it seems to be mainly that of the big bird. He quickly jumps back into the saddle on Griff, draws a wand from his wrist sheath, and activates it.
Actions: move action to mount the griffon (they are two size categories apart, so he can't fast mount); swift action to get the wand, standard action to activate Saddle Surge (4 rounds duration). And Griff takes a 5' step.
Of the two chronicle boons that I used last time, haste will expire just before my next turn; the other boon will have one round remaining.
Speaking of boons, I have another one that might be relevant here: "You may cross this boon of your chronicle sheet to treat wind effects as if they were one category weaker per Air Affinity boon you possess for one round per Air Affinity boon. This includes penalties on ranged attacks, whether the wind checks you or blows you away, and the penalty the wind imposes on Fly checks. Treat the effective starting wind strength of effects that make ranged attacks impossible but do not specify a strength, such as wind wall, as if they were windstorms." (Mr. P has only 1 Air Affinity boon, so it would only reduce the wind strength by 1 step, and only for 1 round). My question is: if I use this boon will it make the wind easier for everyone, or only for Mr. P? And if the latter, can I use it to make the wind easier for Griff, rather than Mr. P, since he's the one flying?
Other questions, is it possible to move up to Verakas just on the ground (since we are on the barge) rather than flying? And, if flying, if you make your Fly check is charging allowed?
"Madame, it seems that you bear some grudge against our friend, the Wizard Zoarth? Yet do you not know that he loved you dearly and wept when you died? Aye, it seems that when he was overcome with grief, perhaps his cats ate your birds, for is not that the way of such creatures? Yet," - here Mr. P gestures at Griff - "E'en so, can not the cat people and the bird people live together in peace, just as those two natures coexist peacefully in my friend Griff here? Truly, lay aside your grudges, and let me speak to you of the kind and forgiving ways of Chaldira, lest your rage condemn you to a restless sleep of undeath."
@Lucija, sadly, not good enough. Back to whence he came. @Mr. P, yup, just a plain old miss. She's that ridiculous! Your gonna have to pull out ALL the stops to beat her! As for your boon, I would say it only works for you, and as Griff is your mount it would work for both of you. Also, if your trying to talk her down, I'll need diplo checks since she's actively hostile.
Verkas growls in anger as she lifts her blade.
You LIE! I was THERE! He SUMMONED those cats! HE FED THEM MY SWEET INNOCENT BABIES! THOSE BIRDS WHERE MY CHILDREN! When I passed out from the shock, he LEFT ME FOR DEAD!
The swings are devastating blows of power, inflicting massive damage on vermin! The giantess misses wither her final swing as howls in anger as she screams.
Those cats seeped into our lives from Hell itself, and he chose them over me. We had a life! But it didn’t mean anything to Zoarth. So now, I will destroy him!
and he is thrown from his feet, rolling across the ground and off the platform!
Reflex:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
But at the last possible second he snatches the edge of the platform and keep himself from falling off! You are now dangling from the edge and must spend a move action pulling yourself up.

EDIT/Correction
Air Elemental Vermin vermin, obviously very wounded, staggers under the blows and remains barely there.

Bauble responds to the internal taunting by casting a casting a mighty empowered Fireball that includes the giantess and Roc in its area and then smacking the Roc.
actions:
swift action: enhance blade to grant it +2/flaming
standard action: cast fireball with spell combat

No way to get Sparky up here. I hope the encounter designer increased the DC of the challenge enough for the environment. The combination of having to use lots of resources to get only some of the party up here, combined with the resource draining encounters along the way and the wind effects preventing some of us from attacking each round increases this by a lot. Perhaps Vermin should have used a round (that he did not really seem to have) to shift into a better combat form, but I doubt he would would have hit any better.
Bauble drops the fireball like a bomb from the sky...
Bauble caster check:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
Ref:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
Taken by surprise, the giantess howls at the fire that enwraps her and takes a stumbling step back. Bauble takes the opportunity to bring his acid splashing weapon down on the now burning rock, cutting through the beast's back and sending it crashing to the ground releasing the angel in it's grasp.

@Vermin, from your profile it looks like in Air Elemental form you have 75 hp. Shouldn't you be at 9 and still standing? Or am I missing something? Either way, we'll do our best to keep you alive!

Yikes. You are right Mr. P. Sorry to all for being overly dramatic. :) I was looking at the spoiler hit points that I must have neglected to update when leveling. But he took 69 hp so he will be at 6 HP. Of course this IS how you die. He cannot withdraw due to the creatures reach and in elemental form has no way to heal himself...
Unsure what to do, Vermin delays until more of his companions act. He will act before the Giantess goes again.

@GM, I would have made a Diplomacy check but it takes at least a minute and I don't have any actions to spare right now. I can give you one if you want: Diplomacy:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12 but please disregard if you want me to use actions on it. At this point, I'm really hoping she's evil, or we are in trouble on so many levels...
Both of the chronicle boons that I used before have now expired. I think I won't use the Wind reduction one because I think I can just charge her running on the ground. Let me know if that's incorrect.
Mr. P swiftly declares his intention to rescue the city below from the evil she has unleashed. "Madame, I fear that your grief and your journey into undeath has addled your mind, and left you confused. Your desire for vengeance against Zoarth has unleashed a foul pestilence upon the city below and many innocents will die if you are not stopped. If you will cease this madness we will certainly get to the bottom of your claims about your birds and Zoarth's cats, but until then, by the blessings of Chaldira, I shall do everything in my power to stop you!"
Swift action to Smite Evil on her. Let me know if it doesn't stick because the rolls below are all calculated assuming that she is evil.
With that, Mr. P urges Griff forward into a charge. Staying on the ground, they ride right through Clandelve's square (Wheeling Charge allows this) directly towards Verakas, before wheeling off at a 90 degree angle away from her. (Wheeling Charge lets me make one turn up to 90 degrees. Ride By Attack prevents her from getting an AoO.)
Would you say that she is a "known slaver" (defined as: "owns at least five slaves, is maintaining a compulsion spell or effect to control a creature for at least one day, or is explicitly cited as trafficking slaves")? I can't remember all the details we learned about her interactions with the Giants earlier (such as whether we know that she had exercised mind control on the giant we defeated at Zoarth's castle). But I get a bonus to hit and damage from the Liberty's Edge faction card if she is.
+1 Adamantine lance, Smite, Charge, NOT using Power Attack:1d20 + 21 ⇒ (16) + 21 = 37+1 more if she's a known slaver.
dmg, Smite, Spirited Charge, Saddle Surge:3d6 + 54 ⇒ (5, 1, 6) + 54 = 66Assuming she's evil, this bypasses all DR. If she's a known slaver, add +3 dmg. If she's undead or an evil outsider, add +30 dmg.
Thanks for being honest Bate, I goofed that, so you'll have to wait. Good eye Mr. P, and yay for a not dead Vermin!... Yet. And nope, not a slaver. The giants where, but she has no interest in slaves.
Mr. P's words fall on deaf ears, but paladins are not known for speaking with evildoers.
They are known for smiting them with the righteous vengeance of the gods.
Flying forward like bullet, Mr. P's lance slams into the giant, the tip piercing through the pale blue glow that tries to turn his weapon aside.
He then flies away as she tries to swipe at him, unable to react in time to his speedy charge.

Vermin changes form, growing taller and becoming a vortex of air and moves away from the Giantess. Vortex form does not provoke but also cannot attack or threaten.

Always nice when you know the GM is rooting for you. :)
Just as a note in case he needs to get past that spell resistance again, Bauble has greater spell penetration and gets a nice fat +4 vs. spell resistance. Glad to see that he didn't need it though!
The wasp double-moves. Fly checks, if necessary: wasp's Fly #1:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18 wasp's Fly #2:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Assuming at least the first one makes it:
She unceremoniously dismounts once back aboard, and seeing (not to mention sensing) Naghamadi gone, calls a mightier, if less cultured, agent in his stead: a massive ankylosaur, made of flame, who wastes no time lobbing its mighty tail at the giantess!
ankylosaurus tail:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (11) + 16 = 27On a hit, she must also make a DC 25 Fortitude save or be dazed for 1 round! damage, plus fire:3d6 + 15 + 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 6) + 15 + (4, 4) = 41
Tentacles, wind angels, giant wasps, and flaming dinosaurs: Is this the most "metal" thing I've ever done, or what???
The pteranodon continues fighting the headwind...
pteranodon Fly #1:1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9 pteranodon Fly #2:1d20 - 1 ⇒ (19) - 1 = 18 Assuming that second roll makes it, he moves as shown.
Meanwhile, the Bralani selflessly moves in to heal Vermin.
Remember, the Bralani has 3 mirror images (which you technically should have accounted for when the rukh was attacking her). In the absence of a token, I'm guesstimating where Vermin would have landed and placing her adjacent.

Determine Success
If your attack roll equals or exceeds the CMD of the target, your maneuver is a success and has the listed effect. Some maneuvers, such as bull rush, have varying levels of success depending on how much your attack roll exceeds the target’s CMD. Rolling a natural 20 while attempting a combat maneuver is always a success (except when attempting to escape from bonds), while rolling a natural 1 is always a failure.
Tell ya what. You forget I forgot about those mirror images, and I'll forget what DC your wasp had to make to fly up so you can do kick butt nonsense. I also seem to have missed a important ability that should have affected vermin, but since I screwed up and didn't count it the first time on him, I'll just keep track of it going forward. Fair?
The Ankylosaur slams it's tail at the giantess, who holds out her hand to block his tail. Where she touches the Ankylosaur fizzles like the blue light burns even past the flames!
fort:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
The mighty beast holds it's ground, but it's clear that it's taking serious effort to do so! Unfortunately for her, the distraction allows a few tentacles to wrap about her. She let's out a startled cry as she fights to break free...
CMB:1d20 + 26 ⇒ (9) + 26 = 35
She does so, if just barely, ripping herself away from the tentacles that hold her!
The giant hefts her sword once again, planting her feet to better deal with the tentacles in the future... but refusing to leave the pool for the moment.

Visibly annoyed that her glorious tentacles are doing more harm than...good-harm, she dismisses them with an arcane syllable and a wave of her arm.
Don't forget the 8 damage they did to her!
Meanwhile, her otherworldly army continues to do her dirty work.
The Bralani continues trying to heal Vermin, trusting in the winds of fortune and her magical doppelgangers to shelter her (have you been factoring in her DR 10/cold iron or Evil as she's taken damage?).
ankylosaurus tail, flank:1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34On a hit, she must also make a DC 25 Fortitude save or be dazed for 1 round! damage, plus fire:3d6 + 15 + 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 5) + 15 + (3, 1) = 34
Nota Bene: My ankylosaur's Fortitude save bonus is +14. Everything I summon has +4 Strength and Constitution beyond the norm.
HOLY MOLY BAUBLE THAT CRIT! O.o And yes, you needed that reroll. *Sniffs* 141 damage in one strike! It's beautiful. :')
The giantess let's out a "GUH!" as the distractions allow the Ankylosaur to get in a slam with it's tail, though it's not enough to stop her.
What is however, is the sudden appearance of 1 invisible not goblin appearing behind her. As she turns to strike at one of the dinosaurs, Bauble swings his black blade, crackling with energy!
The blow catches the giantess across the throat, the crackling energy coursing through the black blade of magic, combined with all the other magic flowing through the blade, causing some sort of mad reaction with the pale energy covering her. The resulting explosion would make Bauble's entire goblin clan proud.
Everyone is thrown back from the grand explosion that ripples out, causing the whole barge to shake. Bauble is seared and burned, and milky blue white goop lies everywhere from the pool, the giantess lying on the edge. The results of the explosion are horrific, and it is clear that the giantess will not rise again.
Above however, the portal still widens, and the pathfinders can see white grasping hands begin to claw at it's edges, as if SOMETHING was trying to force it's way through.
When the first person to recover from the explosion gets the chance to check the Giantess, they find a rather large problem...
The orb is nowhere to be found.
Knowledge Arcana 15:
The Orb may have been used directly to open the rift... in that case, the rift must be shut down the hard way. Some options include dispelling magic, Dimensional Anchor, Dismissal, hollow, antimagic field, banishment, forbiddance, or channeling a LOT of positive energy into the thing at once.
Knowledge planes 15:
The Orb may have been used directly to open the rift... which probably caused the orb itself to skip to another plane, to return another time at the worst possible time (AKA plothook) in that case, the rift must be shut down the hard way.

Nice Hit Bauble! I was gonna try attacking that pool next. Oh and I got nothing to close the rift. Tomorrow I could have a bunch of dispel magics...
Bauble taps himself with a wand of infernal healing. If anyone asks about the evil aura he will blame it on the goo. Speaking of which, Bauble eventually appears, dripping goo and ichor and looking quite smug.
"Bauble not have anything to close portal. Only has battle magics. Need holy magics or unmagics. But Bauble can smack pale hands! Maybe that help?"
"The FOOLS must have used the Orb to open that rift directly - meaning, of course, that the Orb itself has gone to another plane in the process. We are too late...but THIS ENDS NOW!"
Lucija strides up to the portal, somehow looking MUCH taller than she actually is. If the portal had eyes, she would be looking it in them.
"ABRACADABRA AND BEGONE!"
Dismissal, using Eastern Mysteries to raise the DC to 23!
Lucija stares into the portal, and the portal stares back.
A spellcaster of great power might have their mind warped and broken by what they see through the portal.
But for Lucija Lal Rani, summoner of realms and things unknown, the twisted horrid things and heresy of reality just beyond that veil are just another day. With a wave of her hands and the uttering of words of arcane power, the portal slams shut like two great doors closing.
Slowly, the blue white goop begins to evaporate, and the winds slow down, and the gale and rain lessen to the soft gentle spring rain, warmed by glints of sunshine that peek through the clouds and illuminate the bloody destruction of the floating barge....
