Ravine:
Charlie slides down the slope then uses Touch of the Sea scroll to quickly swim across the creek.
"You only said no flying and no teleporting, right?"
Cliffside:
Charlie whips out a scroll of Monkey Fish then hurriedly climbs up the cliff, avoiding the vines.
Overgrown Maze:
Charlie casts Freedom of Movement on himself and quickly dances through the maze unmolested.
Ruins:
Loathe to use his last scroll of monkey fish, but even more loathe to not complete all the tasks, Charlie uses his scroll to climb to the finish.
GM, please confirm Charlie's uses of consumables (or if ol' Grimpy nixes his use of magic. If the latter, Charlie will auto-fail all checks and galumpf along to the end.
Just so we don't have to go back to it, I will post it here.

"This monster, it was a huge beast. Unbelievably powerful too, you best be careful. This monster, while immune to electricity, is slowed by it, and is just resistant to fire. Also, be careful as its eye sprovide it All-Around Vision; flanking it is all but impossible!" He shudders, then says "If you see a Samsaran lady there, she can offer AN AID TOKEN, should you encounter the beast."
With that, the professor bows, then takes his leave back to Medda's forces.
I feel bad for missing all the rolls due to being GMT :(
He didn't even have a chance to say something as the rest jumped in and calmed the Professor. Giving a smile to the man he merely noddded "Samsaran Lady, assistance... got it... save travels!"

1 Question @28, 2 Questions @33
Out from the bog bursts a monstrous Frog like behemoth that bellows its challenge to you all!
Seeing the creature getting out of the swamp a frown caressed his features before he moved up towards the creature, most likely trigging a pre-emptive attack from it before stepping up to it and taking a swing at the creature with his cold iron scimitar.
Charlie moves further and higher away from the creature, then casts a spell at it.
If it's resistant to fire and NOT acid:
With a snap of his fingers, a different metamagic rod appears in Charlie's hand, and flick and a fingersnap, his empowered rod disappears. He casts an acidic, ectoplasmic fireball at the creature.
free action to use gloves of storing acid dmg:10d6 + 10 ⇒ (4, 1, 1, 2, 5, 5, 5, 6, 4, 3) + 10 = 46 SR check:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18 DC:18 reflex save for half
If it's resistant to fire AND acid:
Charlie casts an empowered, ectoplasmic fireball at the creature.
dmg:10d6 + 20 ⇒ (6, 1, 5, 1, 1, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1) + 20 = 45+50% for Empowered = 67 fire dmg SR check:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24 DC:18 reflex save for half
if it's IMMUNE to fire and acid:
Charlie casts Deja Vu on the creature.
SR check:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

The Froghemoth moves over5ft shifts, then launches a barrage of attacks against Chaine, Thunderhoof, and Grimaldus! Tentacles flail as its mouth lurches to bite at Chaine, then tongue launches at Grimaldus! A true flurry of appendages!
All attacks hit, but both crits failed to confirm. • Chaine Takes 24 damage and is grabbed by the Froghemoth's bite. • Grimaldus Takes 11 damage and is grabbed by the Froghemoth's tentacle. • Thunderhoof Takes 18 damage and is grabbed by the Froghemoth's other tentacle. Had to double check, yes, a creature with multiple grabs can grapple multiple opponents, BUT it will need to spend a standard action to maintain all those grapples.

1 Question @28, 2 Questions @33
Inc some actions that are being triggered the moment the first grapple is made against Chaine
The moment the creature launches it's attacks against chaine and manages to grapple him a quick incantation is released from Grimaldus granting the Cavalier a chance to break free from the grapple.
liberating command:
If the target is bound, grappled, or otherwise restrained, he may make an Escape Artist check to escape as an immediate action. He gains a competence bonus on this check equal to twice your caster level (maximum +20). This spell has no effect if the target could not get free by using the Escape Artist skill (for example, if he were under the effects of a hold person spell or paralyzed by Strength damage).
As the creature makes his attacks at Grimaldus and tries to ensnare him with the attacks the flow of magic can be seen as a Talisman protects the Holy Vindicator from being grabbed.
Talisman of Lesser Freedom:
These talismans are inscribed with the names of spirits and other figures associated with freedom and liberation. The first time that the wearer becomes grappled, entangled, or paralyzed, he is automatically affected by freedom of movement for 3 rounds. Moderate abjuration; CL 7th; freedom of movement.
Being free from the grapple the Cleric glances around to see where the rest of his party and their status, raising his shield to fight in a more defensive way he takes 2 swings at the creature as if to taunt it to attack the lightly armored human

Damage should be 1 less. Thunderhoof has DR 1/-.
Thunderhoof grunts in surprise when the freakish creature grabs him with a long tentacle. "You're all about to see how I earned my namesake."
The big shoanti falls forward catching himself on his palms. Rapidly his brawny form rapidly swells with hundreds of pounds of additional muscular bulk. His bones shift and stretch alongside the expansion followed by a thin sheen of shining white fur. Lastly, a pair of thick wide-set horns sprout from his now bovine skull, completing Thunderhoof's transformation into a huge snorting bull.
In his new form, Thunderhorn lunges forward and catches the froghemoth on his horns. With a surge of colossal power, the bull drives his opponent back and tries to pin it in place.
Move action to wild shape into a huge bull via quick wild shape. Due to Powerful Shape I count as gargantuan. Standard to reverse the grapple.

Amused by the epic struggle between the huge frog and the gargantuan pathfinder, Charlie moves back and up, pulling a wand of magic missile as he goes. This one doesn't seem to be a matter of life and death...so a couple of little darts of force lance down and unerringly strike the froggie.

Ikit thinks to himself that he should have kept that recording device he found on his last adventure. It would have made doing the report on this much easier.
Ikit makes sure his amulet is on. A protective barrier goes over the ratfolk. Ikit makes a running start and leaps at the creature. Acrobatics:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24Swift action- spending a point of Abj focus for Mind Barrier- ignore 18 points of damage until my next turn. Double move with a leap to jump onto or in the water with the froghemoth- upper left corner. Ikit is small so he should be able occupy the same space. Ikit has a Necklace of Adaptation so he doesn't need to breathe if he goes into the water.
Charlie: acid flask would be at +4 to hit & dmg as well, if you want to save on MM! lol
LOL. You don't know Charlie: +6 BAB,+1 size, +4 buff, -2 dex, -4 blackened curse, -4 no precise shot for a grand total of +1 to hit...if he was within 10', which would provoke. So to be safe, at least 25' away (tentacles reach?), that means -3 mod on his attack roll.
And his melee attacks are worse! He wears the cestus just so he can threaten, but it is a very puny threat. There's a reason he carries a CL3 MM wand for when he doesn't want to bother with bigger spell/ability. He even uses that instead of melee attack, since wands don't provoke.
I almost want to step aside and let this play out between the creature and thunderhood :P
Seeing the creatures strike and wrestle for dominance it almost seemed like a show from gnome Steve Irwin when he was out and about watching creatures, contemplating on interfering he stepped aside after poking the creature once, only to let this play out for the time being, knowing fully well that there was also a rampaging cavalier that was having a field day.

With big critters I think you can pick and choose the square you shoot in to avoid the -4 for shooting into melee. Nevertheless: yes. Impressive! :)
Blows fly back and forth, and wrestling happens, until eventually the Froghemoth stills and doesn't move anymore.
The other Pathfinders come out and thank you profusely for the rescue.
Effectively at this time we have two aid tokens; one from the scenario and one from another table. Please do a boost for the table boon then I will send it to another table. Boosts can be found here.
