First, I don't want this comment to be seen as aggressive because it really isn't meant that way at all, but I do think it should be addressed. Bold and large text is just meant as a highlight and not meant as rude or shouting. Before you do anything further look at what Pandora was asking BEFORE she was going to d-door.

"I can dimension door 4 of us for up to 800 feet" Pandora looks past the barrier trying to assess if her spell might reach far enough to surpass it "I am sure Braxus can make each of us fly over anyway Fendel" the woman laughs.

If so, she will cast dimension door on the four that cannot fly, counting herself.
What she was asking,and we somehow missed is the next part
GM_Starson wrote:
judging by the map, the thing might be about a mile and a half across
So since that was obviously missed, we should either 1) say she just didn't d-door at all and save the spell(since she said she would only cast it if she thought it work to get us across), retconning us trudging through, taking the hours it will take, because at a mile and a half a fly potion might not get us up and over in the short duration(5 min and it takes 15 min to go 1.5 miles if I'm not encumbered, not including going up and down) even if I carry the group, or 2) we just keep going as if she missed read the map, cast the spell and got stuck. She can cast it again if she wants of use some other way out, but flying out is just as bad as anything if it is that thick.
no offense taken. If we were at a table, then I would have repeated the info. But, we're not, and the information is available in the post before, and the action was ratified by everyone as a "good idea". Your level 8+, and taking on a known tough scenario, so I'm gonna be tough on you about this. No recon here, so you'll have to handle it however you choose to.

That is fine. I just wanted to make sure everything was read. From here on out, the team needs to be more careful is all. Flying would take at least 15 minutes and that would mean 3 potions just for me to get over. We will just trudge from here. I think Pandora will likely burn her last spell of that level and port back out, but that is her call. Is it going to be worse to just trudge from where they are or is it something they wouldn't be able to tell?
Well, unless my math is off, which is possible, Fly grants movement of 60' a round, so double move is 120' per round. 5280'/120'= 44 rounds (5 minutes=50 rounds). It would be pretty close, with those 36 seconds giving us an additional 720 feet. So, if we hustle, we might be able to make it across. I have two potions, and can Alchemical Alocation for a third. Lore has one and Braxus has at least one. Do we have one more?
I just figure that it will not be a one time save against the STR draining thorns. Again, I could be totally wrong, but this is looking to be a tough scenario, and weakening characters is a great way to make it challenging at the end. The less time spent in the woods, the better.

Lore actually has 3 potions of fly (note the 'x3' after the potion name)... Would happily hand them off to someone strong who can carry her and maybe another one or two as well.

As soon as the group completes their check on the distances Pandora touches Lorelendral, Dailung and and Jewels and says the arcane word Endavant.
When the reduced group appears amidst the briar Pandora starts ranting aloud "Argh! Uff! Och! Why is this? No one knows to read a map in this group or what?!" while she completes rolling around the thorns.

We already split the group and you heard what Fendel said about that flying creature.

In the interest of moving things forward, I'm going to assume that everyone drinks their potion and flies up. When the central team flies up, they'll see Braxus incoming. Remembering that you just shaved off 800 feet, I'm gonna rule that you guys make it across with no further incident. Since you're flying, you make great time, not even wasting another hour getting to the other side.
After flying across the rest of the briar, the team arrives at what was once the settlement of Kethalia, now a vinechoked ruin. Shattered white marble structures now stained with sap and filth still reflect what little light filters in. Rubble from collapsed levels obscures much of the ground, and, like ghouls from a grave, trees have tenaciously clawed their way through the debris, their roots expanding in all directions to buckle paving stones and crack mortar. However, despite this destruction, the stones have still held back the worst of the thorns and worse, meaning that the team doesn't have to step lively to continue forward. As the team continues on the direction led by the map, they arrive at a crumbling temple to Findeladlara, the elven goddess of art, architecture, and twilight.
Inside they find a bedroll sized for a Small creature, several unfinished potions, and a portable alchemist’s lab. There are also stale bread crumbs in a nearby gallery. A trail leads from these buildings to a partially collapsed meeting hall.

Dailung looks around and shrugs. "Maybe a gnome or a halfling lives here. A poor life. We should investigate the hall over there!"And with that she flies purposfully toward it, but not after having asked Lorelendral to heal her up again.Scratching another 5 charges

Shaking his head with a resigned sigh, Braxus calls after the fleet dervish, "Dai! Be careful!" As he trots after the pretty blonde, he motions to the others to follow and be on the lookout.
As he moves, he looks and listens for any signs of enemies and possible tracks that might give more information.

Braxus takes out his wand of shield, holding it in one hand and his earthbreaker in the other as moves along. "Don't need any healing now, but that might change soon." he says to Lore with a quiet rumble and a slight grin from the side.

As Dailung draws close to the room, she soon hears cackling and howling of dark demonic voices. Slowing to a stop, she peers through the door to see two demons, blood red, long, and lanky and carrying wicked long spears harrying a poor gnome! The gnome jumps back and forth, grimly silent as she dodges spear thrusts from the demons, though she must have given quite a good response back earlier, as the demons are hesitant to approach the quick little gnome.
Wait a split tick... that gnome... are those little roots growing sliding out it's pants leg? There seems to be a tree stump near it, and the tendrils seem to lead to the tree stump... something is most definitely up... and that tree stump definitely just split a little, showing dozens of vicious teeth!

She casts blessing of fervor on the party before they can move out of range.
blessing of fervor:
With this blessing, you call your allies to move forth and empower them to conquer and become victorious. Each round for the duration of this spell, each of your allies can choose one of the following bonuses for that round at the beginning of its turn (their choice).
...Increase its speed by 30 feet.
...Stand up as a swift action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
...Make one extra attack as part of a full attack action, using its highest base attack bonus.
...Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.
...Cast a single spell of 2nd level or lower as if it were an enlarged, extended, silent, or still spell.
These effects are not cumulative with similar effects, such as those provided by haste or a speed weapon, nor do they actually grant an extra action, so you can’t use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round. Blessing of fervor does not stack with haste.

"Careful... Babau Demons...

We must save him"
Pandora casts extended heroism on herself, leaving a single daily use on her rod. She then nocks a cold iron arrow into her elven bow and follows Dailung looking for cover.

About to advance, Braxus practically growls to his team through clenched teeth, "I know they're demons, but if someone would tell me exactly what kind they are, I'd really like that."
He taps his wand of shield to his chest before letting it fall to the ground behind him and he allows the blessing of fervor to infuse his being, focusing it's magic to aid his defense and accuracy.

"They are Babau Demons Braxus" Pandora is interrupted by Jewels intimidating yell.
The woman steps back and starts singing inspiring courage in her companions' hearts "To the front Pathfinders! Against Treerazer's minions! The forest will shine once more! You dancing gnome join us!"

Thinking back to what the Uprooters mentioned about demons taking other forms in an attempt to fool them, and the fact that the team was observed by a vrock, the detective calls out to his allies, "Careful, this may be a trap! Remember what the elves said? We should not compromise our position. The vrock can fly and we can take cover inside if need be. There is also something else going on with that gnome..." He takes a moment to study the demon to the 'North', looking for weak spots as he knocks a cold-iron arrow.
One of the demons is struck in the back twice by arrows, though Fendel's seems to glance off him sizzling into a pile of mush, and looks VERY unhappy about this development. He turns and rushes in a screeching rage, leaping:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19 down the stairs and over the parapet to slash at Pandora with his spear.
He takes a nice little gouge out of her shoulder, but nothing too lethal.
As he starts to cackle and howl, he suddenly realize that Jewel moves MUCH faster than one would expect someone in heavy armor to do so, and slams into him with her flail like a stampeding centipede. He takes a quick stab at her as she rams through his protective line...
and while his strike is impressive, it merely springs away from the heavy plated warrior as she strikes at the demon with such speed that her weapon hits and is pulled back before the acid can begin to burn into it. Though, it doesn't seem to do nearly as much damage as she may have hoped.
The gnome seems to hear Fendel's call and starts to move in his general direction, but stops as the demon menace him with his spear, seeming to decide against the idea for the moment.

Doh, sorry Fendel, I didn't realize you had made the check!
Fendel's dungeoneering:
The gnome is dead. It is being animated by the tendrils of a creature called, aptly enough, a Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. This seems to be a particularly large deadly version though, the tree stump being large size rather than the normal medium, undoubtedly even this horror has been corrupted by the forest. Wolf in Sheep's Clothing kill creatures, then animate them with snaking tendrils to lure predators closer so that it can feast upon them, as they are fairly slow themselves and prefer their food to come to them.
While the things are powerful, their scariest aspect is using their incredibly long tentacles (Fendel estimates the tendrils of this one to be over 30 feet long!) to grab opponents, drag them to it's stump, and then implant them with their eggs.
Braxus runs up, roaring in fury before slamming his earth breaker so hard into the head of the demon that it folds like paper, the body giving way as the hammer strikes the earth below, shattering the cobblestones.
I will share the rest of the info in the spoiler. Just don't have time to do it in my brainy, big word character voice right now, lol
BTW< I think the last time I saw one of these creatures was WAY back in "Expedition to the Barrier Peaks". Like WAAAAY back. THere was a picture with a bunny on a log.
Dailung runs up and slashes at the demon, her scimitar not biting as deep as she would hope....

and she to is far to quick to let the acid stay on her blade for long enough to damage it. Fendel's first shot strikes it's shoulder, but the second goes wide. It seems to be annoyed by the pummeling.
The demon however, grins in a disgusting display and howls in laughter as she hears Fendels screaming warning. Looking over her shoulder, she sees the now revealed monster tree truck splitting wide, revealing it's gaping maw. The demon hops back a moment, cackling as it holds out a hand, uttering some infernal spell, and waves of energy crack forward to Dailung.
CL Dispel magic:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
She feels the protection of her cloak fade away and become far more vulnerable. Suddenly, the roots that seemed to just be weaved through the cobble stone burst into the air, attacking her from all sides. The gigantic bulk of the monster moves itself closer and...

Shockingly, for a giant tree stump at least, the fireball that should envelop it only sears it as it sinks into the ground with shocking speed, allowing the wave of fire to roll over and past it. They can still smell the seared flesh from it, but the blow is not nearly as devastating as it should have been.

Hm... so, this is gonna require a bit of rules weirdness, so bare with me.
This does hit, negating his first attack, so you deal the damage back and ignore that damage. He gets 8 tentacle attacks, and I would assume you would use your combat reflexes to attempt to parry and riposte 5 more. Since you have to declare it before attacks, we can assume you would have declared them in succession. However, you only have 4 Panache to do so with, so you can only block 4 attacks total (Baring any confirmed crits in this action), and you would only be able to respond to the first 3 attacks with damage. So, Dailung will still be grappled, but you can reduce the damage by 9 and you will be completely out of panache and all that means for swashbucklers. The creature is also not intimidated, so it still crits.
Dailung whirls and slashes, and arrows fly at the creature, filling it like a pincushion. But the creature doesn't let up, it's tentacles tightening on the poor girl before it, twisting and binding her arms tight and forcing her to the ground.

As it holds down on Dailung, a filthy long tongue like appendage reaches out from the things horrid mouth, and forces it's way into her mouth, and she feels it pushing down her throat! A lump slides through the tendril in her mouth, and something is forced down her throat, choking her.

She's unable to force... whatever it is that just crawled down her throat back up, and feels something terrible in the pit of her stomach. The beast holds her to the ground, it's tentacles winding it's way around her.
