Urko, atop Artemis takes a millisecond to assess the situation as one of the gargoyles casts a spell and flies up to gargoyle Marduk with a snarl. "You die now!"
Meanwhile, Agata recalls that solar dragons have much more resplendent scales; this is actually a vortex dragon. As all dragons, it has a breath weapon that deals fire damage in a 60 foot cone, but vortex dragons can also breathe in with their collapsing breath , which can lead to someone ending up swallowed whole. Their aura bends space and time, and they are able to bite anyone within the aura as if they were right next to it. Vortex dragons of her age can also land on foes using their body to crush anyone still beneath three or more sizes smaller. This would pin whoever was caught underneath, lest they dodge out of the way, as well as crush bones underfoot. Maintaining such a state would take the dragon's attention though.
The witch frowns as she considers that the dragon can likely sweep its tail as a standard action. The sweep affects a half-circle with a radius of 30 feet extending from an intersection on the edge of the dragon’s space in any direction. Creatures within the swept area are affected if they are at least four times smaller than the dragon, but can attempt to dodge out of the way. Resistant to non-magical weapons and spells (DR 15/magic, SR 30) her kind are immune to fire, sleep and paralysis.

Nalshene, knowing she needs to pull out all the stops on this thing, flies forward and casts her most powerful spell. A large burst of beautiful yet painfully bright colors surrounds the dragon.

If you failed that save against the aura, all other creatures are treated by you as if they were under the effects of Blur.
Sweet Maud unravels a scroll and Marduk, the Rose of Taldor, Urko, Artemis and Narshala find themselves hasted! However, both her and Venture-Captain Nalshene begin to feel the world become somewhat intangible; especially their opponents.
On her turn, Agata can let everyone know about the Divine Favor that gargoyle cast on itself. Nalshene you haven't used your reroll AFAIK.

"Yeeerghh... what... is... ugh..." Miranda shakes her head at the blurring of everything, trying to clear her senses to no effect. However, she has her rapier in hand, a foe at her side, and speed courtesy of Sweet Mawd, so Miranda doesn't bother to think it overly through.
(Note for GM: Though I failed the save against the 'Blur' aura, it won't make any difference mechanically for Miranda due to Improved Blind Fight and Strike the Unseen.) Also, if it makes a difference to other people's 'blur', Miranda's weapon is limning, so outlines target as per faerie fire for one round.

With wave of his hand Urko wards everyone he can reach against fire damage. He then places one hand on Artemis's shoulder and casts a spell. Both of them appear more feral, theirs ears grow longer and pointed and their skin and fur becomes darker.

Urko and Artemis take on some very lupine features as the oracle finishes his spell, before Artemis pounces upon the dragon. However, even in her confusion she is far from helpless; and only Artemis' must well-placed blow manages to draw the noble reptile's dark blood, and only just!
Cannot find an answer one way or the other on whether the stat block accounts for some of the spells listed or not; as it stands though, I consider your hit to be a crit.
Meanwhile, Miranda steps into the doorman's guard and transfixes him with her blade; one, two, three, four times! It is only though the creatures' innate fortitude that it is able to remain standing.
Despite the disorienting effect of the dragon's aura, Marduk turns his attention on the gargoyles bearing down on him. "You first!" he roars in defiance.

Marduk lands a mighty blow against his opponent, who reels back in an attempt to shield itself from the brunt of the fiery arc that strikes both itself and its companion.
While said companion steps back and casts a spell (spiritual weapon) pointing at Agata, The one trapped by the entrance attempts to deal with Miranda and her companions, all the while being blinded!

GM, yes, Defending Bone is hour/level duration, so it will last for 15 hours from when we entered the Mount, giving Agata DR 5/Bludgeoning. It absorbs 5 points of the battleaxe's damage, and the remaining 1 point of damage goes to temporary hp from Greater False Life.

Agata begins to mumble some strange incantations and suddenly bolts of electricity are shooting forth from her body in every direction. She casts Storm Bolts, excluding all of her friends from the attack but catching both Green and both Red gargoyles in the 30' radius.

@GM, how high are the ceilings here?
After casting her spell, Agata flies upwards and moves behind the dinosaur for some (hopeful) protection from the fearsome battleaxe of energy.
Agata unleashes a barrage of lightning bolts which stun over half the gargoyle fighting for their god. The one facing Miranda even dies, a charred husk.
Seeing its companions dying, one of the remaining gargoyles roars a spell. And soon, another battleaxe comes swinging at Agata.

Good call, but it still doesn't help her get through the enemy's square without entering the dragon's squares (and then being subject to Nalshene's spell that she's currently concentrating on) so Narshala will have to stop where she is for the moment. If I had been able to cast Form of the Dragon on her before the battle she would have spider climb, but alas not at the moment.

Suddenly a scaley creature rumbles out of the floor, shredding through the plating, wiring and piping underneath. It roars a challenge as it lumbers upon Agata!

@GM, is the damage bludgeoning? Agata has DR 5/bludgeoning from Defending Bone. In any case, she currently has 45 temp HP, so either way it won't get through to her actual hp. Yet.
p.s. Agata is flying, so I think being stunned means she falls as well. :-(

Nalshene concentrates on her spell affecting the dragon (free action thanks to Effortless Trickery) and casts a spell that creates shackles of force around the dragon's legs, attached to the floor behind him.
Casting Leashed ShacklesSpell Resistance?:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29 DC 29 Reflex save negates.
A bite is B/P/S, so yes, the damage was bludgeoning as well. You are stunned before you can utter a word. How are you flying? This will tell me if you are falling to the ground.
Agata's Knowledge of Feranths:
Ambush (Ex) When a feranth charges, instead of making an attack at the end of the charge, it can instead use its skullsplitting roar ability, although the DC to resist this ability is lower when the ability is used in this fashion.
Burrowing Charge (Ex) A feranth can use the charge and run actions while burrowing.
Quick Strike (Ex) Whenever a feranth successfully dazes a creature using its skull-splitting roar ability, it can make an attack of opportunity against that creature. A feranth can use this ability against only one target per round, no matter how many creatures it successfully dazes.
Skull-Splitting Roar (Ex) As a standard action, a feranth can unleash a terrible roar, affecting all creatures in a 15-foot cone. Any creatures in the area of the cone must succeed at a Fortitude save or be dazed for 1 round and deafened for 1 minute. A feranth can use this ability once every 1d4 rounds. This is a sonic effect.
Resistances/Immunities: None
Things the GM should remember ahead of time:1d4 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
A shimmering illusory wall appears before the creature, but it does not look to be phased by it. Meanwhile, Venture Captain Nalshene attempts to leash the dragon. But as the chains lunge for her paws, they dissipate in a cloud of arcane dust.
She snorts. "You could have run. I suppose that option is off the table now." All of a sudden, arcane winds billow about her, and her movements take on a hasty quality.

Artemis charged so her AC is 44 this round so the wing buffet also hit meaning she takes 47 damage. If you get stunned when flying then you fall regardless of the method, it was FAQ'd a while back that even magical flight is more than a purely mental act. Air walking would be different.

Urko flies forward towards Artemis and leaps onto her back. He places a hand on her shoulder and carefully intones a spell, causing her to grow to prodigious proportions. A second blessing placed on her sets her teeth and claws to gleaming.
Urko uses his hasted movement to reach Artemis, he swift mounts as a free action (he cannot fail the DC20 ride check) and then defensively casts divine vessel (axiomatic, spell shared) and quickened divine favour (not shared) on her. He cannot fail the defensive casting check.
If Urko gets attacked then Artemis will bodyguard him up to 8 times

I didn't know that about the stunned condition. Whelp, I was going to be nicer than that, but oh well. Also, another mistake on my part, but this one isn't due to forgetfulness: this one is because I apparently cannot do math. We'll keep what damage there is.
Narshala finds herself affected by the dragon's unnatural aura, as Artemis finds much to her dismay that her claw cannot find purchase upon the creature's tough hide.

Miranda's head snaps left to right, taking stock of the battle as best she can. She quickly draws a wand with a snap of her wrist, and activates it, granting herself a little more protection.
Swift to draw wand of shield, standard to UMD it, can't fail check currently. Free to drop wand, move to hasted-move down towards the dragon
"Hey! You can't go killing dragons without me!" she calls cheerfully.
Had to double check my math on my AC, the current listed 46 is correct with shield and haste up
Who knows for how long though? Also, I'll be at a Con this weekend, trying to GM; I wouldn't expect any updates from me, although it isn't out of the question given how bizarrely this convention is being run.

It's sounding like they have moved to a much more stable server format, so I'm actually feeling pretty optimistic that things will be better from here on out. :)
And we're back from outage #2. Hopefully Marduk checks on in, and we can proceed. Regardless I'll try and post tonight so that we can move on past the stunned people.
Just popping in to let you know that in view of Paizo's recent difficulties, I am giving Feral/Marduk until tomorrow to post. Still here! And hopefully I didn't jinx it by setting a deadline (again).
With furious blows, Marduk dispatches his first opponent before stepping up to the next one and ending its life as well. Agata slumps to the ground as she tries to collect her wits, but the spiritual weapon does not relent!
Nor do the remaining gargoyles, one of which decides to go around to deal with Agata while she is low.

OK, so 14 more to the defending bone, and 12 to Agata? Can I start tracking your damage taken or are we still in temp hp?

Just noticed the thing about the Unnatural Aura... Narshala has the "Attack" trick trained twice, such that she is unaffected by the Unnatural Aura ability (I believe). Is that correct?
Having the Attack trick twice does not make Narshala immune to the distorting aura around the dragon. I do not believe it would even help you with regards to the unatural aura around creatures that have that in their stat block. But this creature doesn't have an unatural aura, so provided Narshala can deal with the breakdown of space and time, it's all gravy.

14 points off of Defending Bone and 12 points off of Agata are noted. She has 7 temporary hp remaining (the reason she had so many temp hp to start out is she got 34 from Greater False Life and 12 from Heroes Feast)
Question about the Red Spiritual Weapon: the Red Gargoyle is currently stunned - shouldn't this make the weapon return to its master? Also, why is the spiritual weapon on a different point in the initiative from its master? Is it possible that it belonged to the other Red Gargoyle, in which case it should simply hover over its master's boy?
Spiritual Weapon wrote:
"If the weapon goes beyond the spell range, if it goes out of your sight, or if you are not directing it, the weapon returns to you and hovers."
Also, in looking up the spell I was surprised to read this:
Spiritual Weapon wrote:
It strikes as a spell, not as a weapon, so for example, it can damage creatures that have damage reduction.
... which should mean that the earlier spiritual weapon attacks should be skipping Defending Bone altogether. Do you want me to go back and figure out the difference in the damage?
The way I understood it is that it is given an instruction (in this case kill you), and it continues following that last instruction without a need for someone to keep commanding it every turn. That said, it belonged to the recently departed Mr Red B, who clearly does not have LoS on it. So yes, it would. Scrap all Red Spiritual Weapon damage for this turn.
Also yes, it would be. Huh, totally skipped over that. So that would have been 15 damage that went to you over the past round and a half (accounting for the damage that would have overcome the DR).
