Pai Song looks up as the obviously crazy woman who behaved so harsh the night before announces she's going to explode the siege weapon, then begins to retreat as quickly as possible as well.
You lunatic, don't destroy the ship! It's important! Better capture some of them!
In that moment she fired, the flash of the gun and the round coming out. She looked on as if the world had slowed down. Down it went and hit the balls of green goo.
Alchemical Fire: This hard, ceramic canister of alchemist’s fire can be used as ammunition in catapults and trebuchets. When it hits its target square, it deals 4d6 points of fire damage to each creature and wooden structure within 5 feet of the target space, and each creature must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or catch on fire (wooden objects automatically catch on fire). Every creature and wooden object within the area between 5 and 30 feet of the target space must make a DC 20 Reflex saving throw or take half the fire damage, but they do not catch on fire. On a siege engine mishap, this ammunition explodes before it is launched, dealing its damage to the siege engine and all nearby creatures and wooden objects as if one of the spaces of the siege engine (crew leader’s choice) were the target square. This alchemical fire ignores the hardness of wooden objects.
Ynja's deftly-aimed fuselage detonates the ponderous siege weapon used by the previously-invisible attack party, instantly sending a torrent of bright green fire into the heavens.
The four hobgoblin warriors, the robed half-elf, and the lumbering feline all leap into the chilly waters of Lake Tagomi to avoid further danger as their previous station on the boat shrine erupts in torrents of crackling flame.
Ynja takes the full blast from the torrent of bright green fire reaching for the heavens.
The flames lash her then she is lost from sight as the rigging caches fire.
No one could survive that heat and shock.
Shi ducks down, and allows the blast to go over it, the lip of the projectile's stand actually keeping the blast of alchemical fire from doing anything more than singing a few hairs here and there.
Looking over the side of the ship, at the caster and thylacine splashing in the water, it comments. "If anyone can grab the caster, we can get some answers." It rubs some soot off it's face.

Shi'Vatha successfully executes a brutal choke hold on the robed half-elf, landing on her struggling form with a deadening crunch, and hampering her efforts to stay afloat. For several minutes, the mage can barely keep her head above water with the additional weight of the eidolon weighing her down.
Yep for effect, she will use.\\Extra Lives (Horrifically Overpowered, Mythic)
You are nearly impossible to kill.
Prerequisite: Extra Lives (Horrifically Overpowered).
Benefit: As long as you have at least one use of the Extra Lives feat available, you can expend three uses of mythic power to use your Extra Lives feat without it counting against the maximum number of times you can use the feat.
If you expend two points of mythic power, you may grant another dead character one of your uses of the Extra Lives feat. You can’t do both of these at once.

Eva's body is speedily reduced to ash by the roaring torrent of the alchemical fire, its unquenchable green flame consuming her body with an insatiable hunger.
Then, it is as if she has awoken again, and feels herself present, but somehow more free than her recent manifestation within the flesh body called Eva. Instead, the personality that had once identified itself as 'Eva' now understood, once again no doubt, that is was an unnamed soul, an eternal essence -- timeless, all-knowing, possessing complete power to exert its will over matter, time, space, and energy.
This eternal entity begins quickly to drift into the heavens, speedily leaving behind the inferno that is quickly consuming the wood of the Yamada Nagasama. Its awareness wheels through the densely-packed clouds, their huddled formation portending a thunderstorm in the next few days. And it rises higher and higher yet, quickly leaving the atmosphere.
Now, returning its gaze to the planet in which its dulled awareness had recently resided, the entire shape of Calidastara is visible.
On one side, now lighted by the sun, are the continents the comprise the so-called 'Known World' -- chiefly Brun, but also Skothar, and Davania, along with the ruins of the Alphatian sub-continent and the Isle of Dread.
Atop the polar and antarctic poles, gaping crevasses reach deep into the planet's crust, leading to the Hollow World.
The far side of the planet, now shadowed, is principally host to the Great Caldera, a circular assemblage of continents connected by the quick travel afforded by air ships.
Between the Known World and the Great Caldera are the lands of Exodus, another continent rumored to be populated by varied and wondrous races.
Circling the planet, the thetan can see the orbitals, remnant of ancient celestial travelers that impede approach by star-faring vessels.
Then, the thetan's attention is directed outwards, to the star-filled void, where it quickly crosses a vast interstellar distance, the lights of various celestial bodies careening by its awareness in an almost indistinguishable blur.
The blur abates and the thetan finds itself careening towards what appears to be a hostile world. Noxious gasses are vented from the surface of the planet, and crackling lightning flashes through the sulfuric yellow sky. Jungle and overgrowth appears to have claimed the remnants of previous settlement.
Upon arriving on the planet's surface, the thetan is greeted by the vision of ruins and a strange metallic entity hovering over the wreckage. The odd object is apparently metallic, and consists five spade like fins attached to one another, resembling something like a mechanical blossom or a fish with almost now body and too many fins. The entity focuses its attention on the thetan...

Ynja awakens, her face apparently covered with a sheet. She gasps for breath.

Pai Song, out of breath from running away from the explosion caused by the maniac, calls out to answer the strange creature.
Yeah go catch that caster! If somebody can find that maniac, she owns some answers as well! There was no reason to cause that much damage, the situation would have been under control and would have been even faster had she helped the fight instead of blowing everything up. That was an important piece of our history here! Let's see if we can save something.
She looks for a chance to put out the fire on the boat to save the rest of it.

Alchemist's Fire: You can throw a flask of alchemist's fire as a splash weapon. Treat this attack as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10 feet.
"A direct hit deals 1d6 points of fire Damage. Every Creature within 5 feet of the point where the flask hits takes 1 point of fire Damage from the splash. On the round following a direct hit, the target takes an additional 1d6 points of Damage. If desired, the target can use a Full-Round Action to attempt to extinguish the flames before taking this additional Damage. Extinguishing the flames requires a DC 15 Reflex save. Rolling on the ground provides the target a +2 bonus on the save. Leaping into a lake or magically extinguishing the flames automatically smothers the fire."

Aleister spies with great horror a decorative pagoda in the Shrine of Desna gardens, its elaborately decorated roofs lit brightly with iridescent green flame, veering quickly towards a fleeing child.
Aleister races towards the fleeing child, and tries to tackle the kid out of the way of the toppling building.
Henric is completely out of his depth (literally) in the water, and starts making for shore. He doesn't have any hope of trying to wrangle the enemy combatants while in the water, and seeing that Shi seems to have the most dangerous enemy - the mage - in hand, he aims towards its landing spot in the hope of supporting Shi against the mage, if needed.

Shi'Vatha wrangles the hooded half-elf as she flails helplessly in the chill waters of Lake Tagomi.
The oddly-shaped beast which accompanied the band of malcontents bellows furiously as it writhes in the choppy surf of lake's late afternoon tide.
Finally, the armored hobgoblins who had previously manned the immense ballista whose missiles had set the celebrations alight similarly struggle to stay afloat.
The brave warrior-maiden Ynja appears to have sacrificed herself to destroy the siege weapon, as no trace of her is evident in the wreckage.
Cries of alarm go up around the lake as the townspeople rush to douse the torrential fires presently consuming the new Shrine of Desna.
Having four legs to do his swimming, Shi swims to one side, away from shore. He holds the caster under the water as he swims, waiting for her to stop struggling, either giving up or passing out.
Rather than swim straight for shore, he swims parallel to the shore, keeping the caster away from her fellow compatriots. "I have the caster, we need to get the others."

Vincent rushes to the shore to intercept the goblins, ready to take them out as they approach. The wind in the area picks up strength.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A gentle breeze, having little or no game effect.
Moderate Wind
A steady wind with a 50% chance of extinguishing small, unprotected flames, such as candles.
Strong Wind
Gusts that automatically extinguish unprotected flames (candles, torches, and the like). Such gusts impose a –2 penalty on ranged attack rolls and on Perception checks.

Pai Song stands lost at the shore, staring in disbelieve at the burning ship, a tear of rage running down her face, as she realizes there's nothing she can do right now to stop the ship from burning.
She calls out to Shi'Vatha:
Bring me that scoundrel, i'll take care of her, and go see if you can save the ship! and waves her gun in the air, motioning towards the swimming hobgoblins as well.
Swim over here and surrender, or i'll shoot you in the water!
Shi shakes it's head as it swims. "Unless you have buckets for me to pour water on the ship, I cannot put out the flames. We will need bucket brigade. Town should have one here soon." It replies to Pai, but makes for the shore near her, still dragging the (struggling?) caster with it with her head underwater. "Shoot the thylacine now, it cannot and is unlikely to surrender, but it will attack when it gets on shore."
Henric swims towards the shore, keeping pace with Shi as he is able.

She opened her eyes and made a soundless scream in her mind. she could not move or breath. The memory of her transition till fresh in her mind. She gasps for breath.
There was some kind of silk cloth covering her from. She had to concentrate, focus her mind to calm down. Her breathing settled down and she took shallower and shallower breaths.
Old habits
She thought to herself.
So whose body was this and how far away her point of death,
With utmost care she lifted her new arm and pulled the cloth away from her face.
looking at the celling she could see deep brown wooden beams, covered with art depicting the underworld.
"Well that looks local"
She lifted her new hand back and held it in front of her new face.
"Younger, and local by the color"
She like to think she had stopped caring what her bodies looked like a long time ago. But the truth was she always want to know if they looked good. This one was not an old grandmother, in her later years, or a child struck down far to earl.
No this one was ok, bit thin but it would no. Looking again at her hand she could see the last effects of her being decanted into the body it was part if. The internal glow and odd designed tattoo that came into being over skin.
"Well now, time to get up"
** spoiler omitted **
As 'Ynja' awakens in her new body, she is startled by the interruption of a slightly nasally female voice,
"Oh! Look Hiro! It looks like it's chosen Fumiko's body this time. I can only wonder where this one came from. Hard to believe it could be any odder than the last one, but I suppose anything truly is possible."

Tapping into his deep inner reserves, Aleister dashes towards the seemingly doomed child, grabbing them and attempting to roll both of them out of the way.
Ynja tried to put out of her mind what she had seen Between lives
Images flashed and memories of other lives other deaths came. Her new body spasmed and started to convulse. Some one was coming over, she was in anger, move MOVE DANGER!!
Ynia rolled and fell off the slab her new body had been on, hitting the round she landed arms out. Taking the shock, who ever it was, was coming around. Her leg came up but she could not control it so fell on her side. they where almost with her. A voice from the past.
"Stop fighting the flesh, from is nothing for an Elan, each body we take will reshape to fit us, but the flash also has to be what it is. Let it, flow with it do not fight it. Find that new fusion and from. Become it and control it."
She took three deep breaths and then focused on the elinic psionic energies flowed throw the flesh. Pushing out the rigger and stiffness, bringing psionic life to what had been dead. This flesh was changing as it did she could feel flexibility here. This body was young but developed. It was toned with good core power, who ever had had from birth had looked after it. She wanted a moment finding the synergy and then moved. Coming up fast she hit who ever it was once in the face and pushed herself back to the wall. She looked around plinking as her new eyes got use to light once more entering them.
"Where the $%£^ am I?"
She barked at those who had talked about her.
Nonlethal DamageThis system doesn’t differentiate between lethal and nonlethal damage. Attacks and effects that normally deal nonlethal damage reduce vitality points, except on a critical hit, in which case they reduce wound points.
Nonlethal Damage: When a creature takes nonlethal damage, it takes that damage in vigor points only, even if the attack deals more damage than the creature has vigor points. If the creature has no vigor points (and no temporary vigor points), each time that creature takes damage from an attack that deals nonlethal damage, it takes either 1 wound point of damage, or a number of wound points in damage equal to the attack’s critical hit modifier if the attack is a critical hit.
Henric swims towards the shore, keeping pace with Shi as he is able.
Henric does not try anything fancy - he's not the greatest in the water, though he at least knows how to swim. He's just trying to reach shore at roughly the same point Shi will / is.
