Frequent planar travelers such as the PCs are aware of the properties of the Plane of Air.
Air-Dominant:
Most of the plane is comprised of breathable air. Creatures with the earth subtype are somewhat uncomfortable here because of the lack of natural earth. This discomfort does not confer mechanical penalties.
Enhanced Magic:
Spells and spell-like abilities with the air descriptor or that use, manipulate, or create air function as if their caster level were 2 higher than normal.
Impeded Magic:
Spells and spell-like abilities with the earth descriptor or that use or create earth are impeded. Such spells fail unless the caster succeeds at a concentration check (DC = 20 + the level of the spell). If the check fails, the spell is lost.
Subjective Directional Gravity:
In most parts of the Plane of Air, each individual chooses the direction of gravity’s pull. When walking on solid surfaces, choosing the direction of the surface to be “down” is relatively intuitive and does not require a skill check. In midair, creatures with natural flight can fly normally. Those without the ability to fly, or those who would prefer to move faster, can attempt to set the direction of gravity.
Once per round as a free action, an individual can attempt a DC 16 Wisdom check to pick a new direction for gravity. If she succeeds, she begins falling in that direction, moving 150 feet in a straight line on the first round and 300 feet on each succeeding round. If she fails, she can attempt the Wisdom check again the following round. The DC decreases to 12 until she succeeds. Once an individual starts falling in a direction, stopping requires a successful DC 16 Wisdom check to set gravity in the exact opposite direction. If she succeeds, she continues falling 150 feet in her original direction for 1 round, then stops.
Because an individual in free fall cannot stop quickly, performing actions during the fall is difficult. However, the PCs may ready actions and perform them during the free fall, such as readying an action to grab an object or to attack a creature while soaring past it. Moving past an opponent in this manner provokes at attack of opportunity. A PC under the effects of a feather fall spell falls at only 60 feet per round and gains a +2 circumstance bonus on the Wisdom checks to change direction.
GM Query: If Zephyr wildshapes into an Air Elemental, can he communicate with party? He doesn't have Auran as a language, if that's a factor. He has Natural Spell, so casting isn't an issue, but being able to speak with the party might prove useful at times...or not, depending upon what he has to say.
Did I say Zephyr doesn't speak Auran? I meant effectively only speaks Auran. LOL. Unless someone else in the group speaks Druidic...or the language of Zephyr's extinct homeworld (Ethranian).
I'm suddenly wondering if everyone in the group can even communicate with each other.
Does everyone speak Auran? Any other druids? Anyone a translator for this motley crew that can speak Ignan, Aquan and Terran as well as Auran? Perhaps our Dragon Bard? Please tell me you have message cantrip, so you can be our switchboard operator/translator...suddenly getting a very weird image of the most interesting call center in golarion...
HP 57/57| AC 22 (20 T, 17 FF) | Saves: Fort: +7, Ref: +12, Will +10 | Bardic Performance 18/19 | Spells:1st: 6/6 | 2nd: 4/4 | Breath Weapon: Available | Lore Master 1/1 | Lesser Reach 3/3
I was a little confused when you said that, TBH. Ember has message, but only knows Auran, Draconic, and Ignan.
If we can shop with the cash we have left over, one thing I was considering picking up was a scroll of comprehend languages, which at least would mean I could understand anyone, if not respond.
We might have. He's actually my local Venture Captain, so I sent him a personal email, and haven't heard back. He's still showing up on Warhorn signups for local store PFS games, but I rarely can get to those. Maybe technical problems keeping him offline?? I'll email him again...
We've not heard back either, so we'll find a replacement for you guys and make sure you get a chance to wrap up the scenario. (We'll add some time, if need be)

IH, I can take over if that's kosher. I have the scenario and have run it at GenCon. I haven't done any Gameday games this round, but I'm happy to help if that works?
