I'm going to be running my home game in a bit. So I'll post now.
Bishop's face turns to a look of pain, as if Timber's wounds were his own. "Timber! Down boy, get out of there! and the wolf will withdraw....as soon as he's not stunned.
The ranger's pain turns to rage. Three arrows from his hasted bow whistle forward:
Amira raises her arm to present her holy symbol as the sleeve of her robe begins to burn away. "Ashur, you're too far for healing! I'm not getting hit again!"
Channel to everyone but Ashur (unless he circles back around):3d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 6) = 13 Swift Channel for double the fun:3d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 3) = 10

Begin Round 2 of bane ability.
Swift action to activate Judgement (destruction).
Then continue to attack the elemental. Attack:1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 = 10<--auto-miss Attack dmg:1d12 + 3 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 2 + (1, 6) = 13
Bishop continues to be exceptional with his bow, while Erin and Kulik flail around a bit. Amira heals the party, twice, she seems to have that well in hand.
Timber’s fur burns for Damage:1d8 ⇒ 4
Round 3
Ashur, burning himself but paying no mind, attempts to put out fire with fire, and succeeds. The Flame on the right dissipates.
Damage:6d8 ⇒ (4, 1, 8, 1, 2, 7) = 23, Ashur takes a total of 5 Damage.
Anya will delay until after the mobs.
The Living Flame continues to focus on the wolf.
Slam 1:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 16, miss
Slam 2:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27, for Damage:2d8 + 2 ⇒ (4, 7) + 2 = 13 Ref:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9, Timber alights again for Rounds:1d4 ⇒ 2.
Galdron lets another Fireball fly.
Everyone but Ashur takes Fire Damage:6d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 1, 1, 5, 5) = 16. Reflex DC 19 for half.
Round 3 actions for everyone, and after that Ashur again.

Erin ducks behind Kulik, avoiding the flames entirely, then dashes over to strike at the one remaining pillar of flame.

Refl:1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 1 = 14 KULIK takes the full force while shielding the rogue from the fireball.
"Alright, enough of this flying caster business." Learning from the past, Ashur draws and drinks one of his three potions of fly. "Surely everyone else can handle the elementals." Ashur thinks to himself as his mundane clothes have all but burned off.
Elemental on the right is actually gone, yes? If he is...
Amira moves close to Kulik, her robes having burned in a diagonal line from her shoulder to the opposite side waist. "Good shot, but the eyes aren't any more vunlerable than the rest of it! Same goes for Galdron, without proper magics!"
Moved position on the map, then channel as a standard. Channel for everyone:3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 1) = 12

Right, I see that now. Sorry. :-|
Meaning KULIK would move as indicated on the map and only the first attack would go off (no haste attack). That's the 20 dmg (I presume the crit confirm roll was too low).
I was implying that Elementals and Incorporeal creatures can't be crit (without specific magics, in the case of Incorporeals). I thought he was shooting with a bow, to be honest. Paying more attention to health totals.
A snarl erupts from the ranger and the wolf, but it's impossible to say which of them makes the noise. The ranger looks over at his best friend, "I know boy, the sooner I off this guy the sooner you'll be okay!"
Galdron charges over the altar, diving at the last moment to intercept Bishop. The Spirit's fist plunges into Bishop's chest. He gasps as he feels an icy hand close around his heart before it attempts to rip it from his body.
The Pillar of Fire attempts to make the Half-Orc a little more crispy.
Slam 1:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25, Slam 2:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22, Refs:2d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (15, 11) + 5 + 1 = 32
Kulik takes Damage:4d8 + 4 ⇒ (4, 1, 8, 8) + 4 = 25, but skillfully avoids being set on fire himself.

KULIK sways but remains on his feet, bloodied but unbowed, and snarls at the flame beast.
Shielded by the wall of the living, Amira moves up and touches Kulik. "One-hundred and fifty..." She then bends her arm to use the spring-loaded wrist sheathe that has been totally exposed, thanks to the robe-destorying flames.
Moving up to Kulik and casting Cure Serious Wounds:3d8 + 5 ⇒ (1, 1, 4) + 5 = 11in place of Speak with Dead, since the dead is currently trying to murder us. Finally, a swift to draw my CLW Wand. I shouldn't be provoking from anything, thanks to allies and soft cover.
In the heat of battle, Galdron's demeanor suddenly shifts. He becomes solemn rather than wrathful, and with a wave of his hand the last column of fire disappears. Proud, hot tears roll down his cheeks as the ghost explains, In returning to my original self, I forgot who I had later become, and why I was right to do so. Galdron clutches at his chest
as he seems to pull the flames from his body and his heart. He closes his fist around them, squeezing tightly as they form into a glimmering red gem, which he lets fall to the ground.
It is not weapons or armor which prevent peace, but succumbing to wrath. I see this now. I will no longer protect the Green Market, as
others must find their own unity, unmotivated by fear.
The Shoanti, now no longer smoldering and smoking, floats above his sacred altar, salutes you with his raised spear, and then fades away, melding with the stone table.
"Galdron came to his senses. He won't be 'protecting' the market any further," Amira states as she tries to keep a sense of professionalism in her half-robe. She raises her not-quite cufflink holy symbol and heals all around, while holding the remainder of her robes on.
Double the Channel:6d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 3, 3, 2, 4) = 21
"And if you'll excuse me, I really don't like being this exposed." Amira then hurries to the closest Abadar temple to buy new robes.
"So it's over? Just like that? Pretty anti-climatic." Ashur says as the combat ends, his horns and fangs retracting as usual.
"I'm not quite sure either. I think there won't be anymore animated produce attacks though." Ashur chuckles at Amira's modesty while tearing off the rest of his burning clothing.

Erin assesses herself after the sudden encounter. She looks down at another horribly singed robe. Gleaming metal from her chain shirt, various tools, and weapons poke through the fabric. Sighing in disgust, she glances over at Amira scuttling off and states.
"I am going to start writing off clothing as a business expense. This is beginning to get ridiculous. I do believe Amira would wholeheartedly agree with me and get the ball rolling on that one."

KULIK looks about, noting the shift back from the other realm with some confusion. He checks on his companions, then on Zeeva, to be sure everyone seems all right. Then he turns to the dig site and sifts through for a small rib-cage bone that would be in the correct place to protect a human heart as a "trinket."
(Survival:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24)
Did the red gem return from the Ethereal Plane with us?
The ranger continues to whip around with his bow. Timber looks confused (and cooked, though the last channel did wonders for him.
"I don't think it's all over. We still haven't dealt with the Aspis consortium to the finish. We should egress to someplace more private to brief and debrief."
DM & fellow Andoran:
I'll be in a lot of classes today, and not sure when I'll be able to post. When an opportunity presents,Diplomacy:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21 [b]"My dear Zeeva. I apologize that preserving your marvelous market is such a bloody affair. I consider it an honor to have been here to help. Your market demonstrates the ideals of the Andoran cause. We're looking to develop an embassy here. Finding property has been....tricky. Rumor has it that your esteemable family may have some up for availability. If we could arrange a deal for it, it would be a mutually beneficial arrangement.

GM/Andoran:
Ooh, almost forgot that — thanks, Bishop!
KULIK nods as the ranger speaks, then adds, KULIK help clean up too, if needed.Diplomacy assist:1d20 + 0 ⇒ (12) + 0 = 12
Zeeva: I have been hearing rumors spread of the humiliation the Aspis people suffered here. I don’t think they will be troubling me for a long time. The hooded Agent that escaped has been duly humiliated by his peers and may be looking elsewhere for an assignment.
Andoran:
Bishop gets a +4 circumstance bonus for being well spoken of by Zeeva’s sister. Bishop, I thank you and your companions for all your help. My family’s manor has stood vacant for years now. I have some attachment too it, but I can see it would be in good hands with the Society. I will certainly entertain your offer.
Erin:
After a bit more chiding and checking, you are able to get a merchant to single out Aeysha to you.
Oh, I almost forgot. You all rushed off so quickly to speak with the Shoanti that you did not find the magical remnants that were a part of the fruit monster. I feel it’s only fair that you have them for saving us all.
Female Human Rogue 10 (hp 82/82) | F +7 R +11 W +9 | AC 24 T 15 FF 24 CMD 27
"Thank you, for your assistance."
Erin states to the merchant, then heads quietly over to Aeysha when she seems to be heading through a busy spot in the crowd.
Stealth 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Working her way close, she roughly bumps into the woman, and attempts to drop the small box unnoticed into her grocery bag.
Sleight of Hand 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Excuse me young lady! Watch there you’re going! The radishes will still be there. And here, you seem to have dropped your box in my bag. She hands the box back to Erin and moves on into the market.
Female Human Rogue 10 (hp 82/82) | F +7 R +11 W +9 | AC 24 T 15 FF 24 CMD 27
"Sorry about that, must have tripped on something."
She responds, running a hand through her hair and desperately looking for Kulik, Ashur, or Bishop in the crowd before Aeysha gets too far away.

Okay, I'll bite. :-) No idea what KULIK will be able to do for Erin tho...
With critical Andoran affairs settled, KULIK wants to find the Pantheon of Many mentioned earlier to pay homage to the Dawnflower for the freedom granted to Galdron, so he looks about for the rogue.
Perception:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Erin human mention a temple before we attacked by fruit. Can guide KULIK to thish Pantheon of Many? KULIK oblidged to Erin human.

"Sure Kulik, I need a quick favor though."
Erin says anxiously, then points at Aeysha fading into the crowd.
"Do you see that pretty lady over there? I need you to go up to her, and offer to carry her groceries. Make sure you give her a nice big smile while you ask. It is okay if she says yes or no, just as long as you ask nicely. Can you do that for me?"

KULIK looks confused, but looks where Erin points (Perception:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18), nods and hurries after the woman.
Hello, pretty human lady. Must do good deed for day in name of Great Dreamer Desna. May KULIK carry foodsh for pretty human lady? He gives his best, toothiest grin and holds out his left hand, revealing a small, blue butterfly tattoo.
Female Human Rogue 10 (hp 82/82) | F +7 R +11 W +9 | AC 24 T 15 FF 24 CMD 27
Erin follows through the crowd and makes attempt number two to try to make the drop, trying to time it when Aeysha looks up at the half-orc.
