Narshala goes to maul the dragon but its thick scaly hide rebuffs all her attacks! Meanwhile the stunned gargoyle shakes itself out of its stupor as its remaining companion moves into position and summons another spiritual weapon which goes for the helpless witch!

Ok, so with updating the damage tallies from the earlier attacks and also the latest from the Cyan spiritual weapon, I have Agata at all temp hp lost and 13 points of real damage, and defending bone has used only 5 points and has 45 remaining (not sure what that 5 was from, but that's what my records show).
The Feranth huffs, looks at the thing trying to distract it from its meal and decides its not worth the effort. Too far, too much metal. The fleshy stuff is much better to eat. Nonplussed by the wall before it, it makes to dive through it.
Feranth Will vs Illusion:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Noting absent-mindedly that the wall is not real as it dives through as if it were burrowing, it goes to eat Agata. Had it failed, I would have given it a miss chance, as if it were buried underneath a surface and making attacks.

Unfortunately the bites and claws both go through defending bone as its DR5/bludgeoning and bites are all three while claws are slashing and bludgeoning.

It's always been my understanding that in order to disbelief an illusion you need to interact with it (i.e. spend a move action), which would prevent the Feranth from full-attacking (indeed that was the intent of the creating the wall in the first place - I didn't have much hope that it would actually stop the thing). No?
Will hold off on Sweet Mawd's action until I know your ruling.
And yes, defending bone won't apply, so if the full attack stands it will be 118 points of damage, which will put Agata at -9 (she was at 109 before this attack).
Whelp, looks like I got some 3.5 in my Pathfinder. You are correct, and as a unforeseen consequence I'm going to have to double check my dash-1. With regards to the illusion; it wasn't really attempting to disbelieve because it didn't care about a solid wall like the wall you chose to put up. It knows where you are thanks to one of its senses, and figured "I'll just burrow my way through this here wall of stone". Now it is attacking you through the wall, in so doing interacting with it, and I need to resolve whether or not it still believes there is something there, because in that case, you get a 50% miss chance. Now if this were a gargoyle, or a creature that doesn't burrow through the decks of this here starship, or if you had generated a wall that looked dangerous (like a wall of blades) or a creature that looked dangerous, or something other than a wall of stone/metal, there would have a different outcome indeed. However, you made the decisions you thought best at the time, and this is just an unfortunate outcome.

Ok, but I'm unclear what the result of this is for me? The feranth wasn't able to make a full attack and will have to repost his turn? Or his full attack still stands but will have 50% miss chances rolled? Or something else? Thanks and no rush to answer, just wasn't sure if there was more coming or not.
I'll grant you a 50% miss chance on the bite, as that was the first blow to determine the actual reality of the wall, irrespective of it caring or not if it was real.

Nalshene hears a crunch behind her as poor Agata is attacked by the Feranth. Unfortunately, there's nothing she can do to help her, as the dragon must be dealt with. She flies forward on her little fey wings, and touches a rod on her belt. Then she sends a blast of colorful energy at the dragon.

If Hugo's Divine Interference results in Agata still being conscious (i.e. the Gore not being a crit), then Sweet Mawd will delay until just after Agata's turn. But since the Feranth has already disbelieved the Silent Image wall, she will cease concentrating on it, causing it to disappear.
An instant before Agata gets skewered by the beast's horns, Hugo calls upon the favor of the Master of Aktun. While his prayer is hear, it is only the slightest of pushes. But often times, that is all that is needed as Agata remains conscious, albeit in a tremendous amount of pain. In the Astrogation unit, Nalshene takes advantage of the dim light within to attempt to stun the dragon with a display of colored lights!

But the display leaves the dragon unphased.
Nalshene, trust me when I say you want this ray to miss.

Well.
Nalshene's coruscating green ray is true and hits the dragon... And bounces off, with the same energy. Right back at Nalshene.
Nalshene, please make that DC 26 Fortitude save? This isn't even me being polite. Please make it.

Urko cannot fail that spellcraft check.
For the GM:
Fortunately for us I dont think spell turning can reflect touch spells.
Quote:
Spells and spell-like effects targeted on you are turned back upon the original caster. The abjuration turns only spells that have you as a target. Effect and area spells are not affected. Spell turning also fails to stop touch range spells.
I suppose you could read that as meaning only melee touch rather than ranged
The coruscating ray of green light hits the dragon but dissipates upon encountering the dragon's natural spell resistance. She rolls her eyes and focuses on Artemis, as a quickened spell courses through her body, terminating in her powerful jaws.
There we go. VC Nalshene does not need to make her own ridonculous save, and assuming noone can fail the check the dragon just cast quickened True Strike. Let the good times roll.

Yes, accounting for all buffs Artemis currently has an AC of 48. Did the dragon cast quickened true strike or something for extra bonus on the bite attack? Looking at the numbers you seem to have added a -7 power attack penalty only to the bite. Once you use PA it applies to all of your attacks until the start of your next turn. Assuming it should also apply to all of the others only the bite attack then hits. She currently has DR10/chaotic, I assume the dragon doesn't have the chaotic subtype so she takes 31 damage

Agata gazes up at the Feranth looming above her and shouts a quick warning to her companions: "It ain't resistant nor immune to nuthin', thanks be t' Desna, but its got a roar what's terrible to hear, an' it kin charge even when it's burrowin'!"
With a quick magical word, Agata attempts to give the creature some bad luck.
Caster Level check vs SR, if needed:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23
Quickened Ill Omen, no save, on its next 4 d20 rolls that the Feranth makes it must roll twice and take the worse result.
Then Agata gazes balefully at the creature and drops a massive pile of ice and snow upon its head.

Miranda races forward still with haste, grinning with adrenaline and excitement as she runs forward to add her blade to the efforts to subdue this powerful dragon. After victory, glorious death is a good consolation prize, as she reckons the world.

Meanwhile, the dragon snaps at her newest incoming opponent.
Bite:1d20 + 33 - 7 ⇒ (9) + 33 - 7 = 35
Its bite misses the Rose of Taldor by milliseconds; an eternity in a fight. Then she attempts to hit the dragon as well, but the armored scales deflect the blow.

Urko scolws, Dragon, you are becoming annoying. Artemis, you have him, take him down.
With that he weaves two spells in quick succession before commanding Artemis to attack. As he completes the spells his nearby companions find themselves strengthened.
Casting divine power on Artemis followed by quickened blessing of fervour on himself, Artemis, Narshala, Nalshene and Miranda. Please remember to pick something at the start of your turn, I recoomend the +2 AC, attack and reflex as the extra attack will not stack with haste. It overlaps hastes attack bonus as well, they do not stack. I dont get the benefit until the start of my next turn. I cannot fail the defensive cast check for divine power.
Completing his further buffs he risks a quick check behind him, How are the rest of you doing? Do you need help?

Artemmis roars and launches herself at this pesky opponent who seems so diffcult to hit.
She takes the +2 attack etc from blessing of fervour and stops power attacking. I have added the 16 temporary HP to her current HP total taking her to effectively 50 damage.
If any adjacent ally is attacked Artemis will aid their AC, expending an opportunity attack with the Bodyguard feat. She can do this 8 times per round and provides a +7 bonus. She only fails on a 1
While Marduk leaves deep wounds in his opponent, Urko taunts the dragon as Artemis attempts to savage the creature. Her blows mostly find only hard scales, with only a few passing through. "Same can be said for you, orc-blood. I hope you aren't as attached to your pet as your spells suggest."
Meanwhile, the gargoyle adjacent to Agata shifts slightly to the side and begins to land blow after blow into both the block of ice and the witch.
It is only after taking the measure of the gargoyle with its first blow that the Zelekut manages to hit his opponent, trip it down to the ground as VC Hugo heals all of Agata's wounds.
The feranth, still shivering after its stint in ice, unleashes a mighty roar.
I need a DC 24 Fortitude save from Agata and Sweet Maud.

Seeing several of her spells seemingly bouncing off of the dragon's spell resistance, Nalshene decides to concentrate heavily on her next spell, pulling out some magical components that will allow the spell to hit a bit harder.
Nalshene casts another Quickened Tenebrous Persistent color spray, using her last charge from her Selective rod and also tossing a bit of dweomer's essence in the air to try to get it past the dragon's SR. The dragon gets a DC25 Will save against it. SR check:1d20 + 16 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 16 + 5 = 40. Then she begins casting greater shadow conjuration and plans to bring into being a Huge black pudding on the ceiling above the dragon, but this will appear at the start of her next turn.

Ah, thank you! I don't often use it for summoning spells. In that case, the Black Pudding appears on the ceiling (a legal place for it to start since it has the suction ability), and promptly drops on the dragon's head, as it's the closest thing to attack. The dragon gets a DC30 Will save to disbelieve, in which case it's only 60% real. black pudding slam:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22 damage:2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 11 plus acid:2d6 ⇒ (3, 5) = 8

Agata speaks to Marduk when their turns come around again:
"Marduk, dearie, I'll do my best to put this rotten Feranth thing and the Gargoyle over here to sleep, but unless you can take care of the two Gargoyles over by you, they'll just use their spiritual weapons to wake them up. If there's any way you can prevent that, it'd be most helpful!"
Then she begins casting greater shadow conjuration and plans to bring into being a Huge black pudding on the ceiling above the dragon, but this will appear at the start of her next turn.
Sorry I haven't been able to update, but things have kicked up a notch and things will be hectic for the next week. Anyway, Nalshene could you walk me through how you are summoning a black pudding? I took a look at the summon monster list and cannot find that particular monster listed. I understand that I must be missing something, but I do not have the time to put in my own research. :(
