Thanks a lot for all the explanation, but I'm very familiar with most or all the options you describe. Actually oracle is my favorite class by far in Pathfinder, and I think about one fourth of my PFS characters are oracles! ;-)
Still, I deeply appreciate players who are as clear as you are about their builds!

I am a maneuver master monk with a lvl dip in inquisitor. I have a plus 21 to all trip disarm and grapple checks. i can perform 3 maneuvers a round no matter what kind of action it takes. If i trip a character, that character provokes 2 AoOs from me and i can make 8 AoOs a round. Meening if i am next to 3 enemy i trip all enemy, each enemy provokes 2 AoO. I also have Ki Throw allowing me to move any creature i trip into any square that i threaten. My rolls get crazy with this 1. my last gm had to ask me to go into detail a few times.
The only question i have is if i use a flurry of maneuvers i can use any maneuver for all my maneuvers including grapple. From what i understand is that meens i can pin in 1 round correct? I just dont get the bonus for them not braking away?
There's nothing particularly wonky about Sharna, just a witch focused on debuffs and buffs mostly. I don't have Slumber (because PRINCIPLES, DARNIT! or something....) so don't expect that from me. :P
A question for our GM though, regarding table variation I've run into before:
As a witch, I can deliver touch spells and hexes via my familiar. Does this apply, in your opinion, to touch spells generated by items, such as a wand of CLW? If I cast from the wand while my familiar and I are in contact, can the familiar deliver that charge, or must I?
No rush for me. :)

Thanks for the precision concerning your deity. You might want to add this information to your character sheet, since it's the god you're an inquisitor of, after all.
I don't see Agile Maneuvers in your feat list. How can you add Dex to your grapple check? Weapon Finesse doesn't allow that, since grapple isn't an attack (in the rules' meaning of "attack"), unlike Trip, Disarm or Sunder. Hence, your grapple modifier should be +14. Please change it on your character sheet.
Moreover, your Trip modifier should be +21 (the number is correct in your header, but not in your Melee section), and your Disarm modifier +19 unless I'm missing something. You don't appear to have Greater Disarm.
Regarding your question, the answer is yes, since you're 8th level monk or higher. Have a close read of the relevant text:
Flurry of Maneuvers (Ex): At 1st level, as part of a full-attack action, a maneuver master can make one additional combat maneuver, regardless of whether the maneuver normally replaces a melee attack or requires a standard action. The maneuver master uses his monk level in place of his base attack bonus to determine his CMB for the bonus maneuvers, though all combat maneuver checks suffer a –2 penalty when using a flurry. At 8th level, a maneuver master may attempt a second additional combat maneuver, with an additional –3 penalty on combat maneuver checks. At 15th level, a maneuver master may attempt a third additional combat maneuver, with an additional –7 penalty on combat maneuver checks. A maneuver master loses this ability when wearing armor, using a shield, or carrying a medium or heavy load. This ability replaces flurry of blows.
(bold mine)
This means that when you do a full-attack action, you can make two additional maneuvers you like. So you could in fact make a full-attack (with any numbers of trip/disarm attempts with your normal attacks since these maneuvers can be made as part of an attack action), and at any point during your full-attack make two grapple checks. As you say, this means that you could (provided you succeed on both checks) theoretically grapple, then pin an opponent, but without the +5 modifier. However, if you had been Monk level 7 or lower, you wouldn't have been able to do so since you can't include a grapple in your normal attacks. It seems pretty clear to me. Looks like a lot of fun!
I'll rule that you can, since it seems the sensible thing to do. It makes sense to me at least.

Yes, in my opinion it's a very representative scenario of what a band of level 10-11 Pathfinders could be expected to do.
As a side note, I've played that scenario at our local GardenCon this summer, and had a blast!
Just to make sure, is there anyone who - as a player - didn't play Serpents Rise?
EDIT: Xiaobo, Noro, please add your character's information on the Maps and Handouts document. Thanks! Also, you've modified the grapple mod to +14 (correct) in your header, but you've modified it to +16 (wrong) in your character sheet.

A couple of rules questions:
- The Ethereal plane uses your base speed for movement for flying if I recall correctly. If we were to gain a faster speed, even if it were a fly speed, it is possible to move more quickly there, right? Just asking in advance so I know. :p
- Can I grasp things in Voonith form? Obviously, I can't grab a wand, weapon, or anything that I would use in battle, but I have enough to be able to hold onto, say, a Harrow card for a teleportation purposes? (If not, I guess another option is he gently bites the card)

I guess you'll have to experiment once you're there! By the way do you have a visual reference for a voonith? I have no idea what it might look like.

The explanation is the following, Xiaobo: when a spell exists on the spell list of more than one class, we always consider it to be made by a cleric, wiard, druid or psychic.
All potions, scrolls, wands, and other consumables are made by clerics, druids, wizards, or psychics in Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild play. The only exceptions are spells that are not on the cleric, druid, wizard or psychic spell lists. For example, a scroll of lesser restoration must be purchased as a 2nd-level scroll created by a cleric and can’t be purchased as a 1st-level scroll created by a paladin.
Hope this clarified things!

Two quick notes:
First, we're about to get into the first combat, so I'll give additional clarification concerning movement on the ethereal plane. Basically, you're all treated as if you had the spell ethereal jaunt cast on you, allowing you to move in every direction, but at half your normal speed.
Moreover, I'll give you 24 hours to buff before the fight according to the guideline I posted in the Gameplay thread.
Second, I'll be moving next Thursday, which means that the pace of the game will inevitably suffer for a day or two. Don't worry, I'm not forgetting you, and things will go back to normal before you know it. ;)

Just a little head's up to let you know that the next days (until Monday evening) will be hectic for me. I'll try to post at least once a day but I'm not sure to make it.
Since when is getting married considered as hectic? ;-)
As a side note, I've moved to a new apartment and my ISP still hasn't restored my connexion. I'll do my best to post as soon as I can, next update should be on Tuesday, when I can access the Internet at work. Sorry for the inconvenience!

A lot of this may depend on if Noro can reroll and pass her save but we might really be served by a tactical retreat and a regrouping to consider tactics -- these things hit HARD and we all have crappy odds of making that save. I will call out with this suggestion ICly but I wanted to see the results of the Noro sitch first.

Entering rage is a free action that happens on your turn, it isn't an immediate action.

Probably no posts from me tomorrow (about 6 hours from time of this post to about 38-40 hours from time of this post is the dead time). Starting a group going through Mummy's Mask tomorrow, and plan to GM for them all day.
I honestly think they may make it all the way through book 1 tomorrow. They're an "efficient" type of group, and I'm an "efficient" type of GM. We'll see.
Refen plans to run away after this turn.

Hexes are SU, but just so you know, there is a spell precedent for this. Of course, it doesn't mean it happens for Hexes.
Succeeding on a Saving Throw: A creature that successfully saves against a spell that has no obvious physical effects feels a hostile force or a tingle, but cannot deduce the exact nature of the attack. Likewise, if a creature's saving throw succeeds against a targeted spell, you sense that the spell has failed. You do not sense when creatures succeed on saves against effect and area spells.
So for targeted spells, you know. Area spells are a nope. (So it would work for Slow, but not for Confusion)

Gm I am pretty sure you add your base CMB + the 10. So the way I did it should be correct and the action I take.
My roll for that CMB check is base 17, 10 for syringe plus 1 for spell and 4 wis for total of +32. Add the 17 on die and that gives me 49

Each voidglass syringe behaves much like a masterwork dagger that is not suitable for throwing, ignores an aether elemental’s damage reduction for its first attack, and sticks into the elemental after a successful hit. While a syringe is stuck in an elemental, as a standard action, a PC can attempt a combat maneuver check against the elemental with a +10 bonus, or they must succeed at a Sleight of Hand check opposed by the elemental’s Perception check. Doing so removes the syringes and fills it with the elemental’s essence. A PC can also fill a syringe by maintaining a grapple against an elemental and choosing to draw out a single sample. Each syringe can only hold one sample.
