Almost ready to rock, I asked what happens to Kai’s character. Will move forward when I get the answer.
@Boron, I think you moved yourself to the Doormouse, who is on your team. I think with your 30' move speed you could either get to the orange archer with a double move (no straight path to charge that doesn't cross the ice storm or the human male on the bridge.
Isn't Stone Shield a Oread racial spell (e.g. only Oreads can cast it?)

Hmm. Ahh, hmm. I did not see that but it looks like it is. Well that’s depressing AND unexpected. I’ve made it to level 12 and I haven’t had this come up. It’s also unfortunately crippling to my character. I’d need to change several of my spells to allow me to be in melee all the time, my stats, a few feats, I’d need different items, and a different bloodline. That’s a complete rework that I don’t have the money or the prestige to pull off. Hell, I’d probably just gone magus over sorcerer if I knew this build didn’t work.
I’m kinda at a loss on what to do now. Ignore my last turn and put me on delay.

Wait. How does that one spell prevent you from doing your normal char stuff.
Although it's a racial spell and you can't use it, I can't see why you'll need a total rework of everything.
I feel it's kind drstic.
@ Felver. Was it the raging pounce that got too much for the group? I can't really see what's wrong with natural weapon Barbarian.

It’s not game endings as I still have Greater Invisibility, but the meat and potatoes of my character is putting up a wall then stealthing and attacking to get sneak attack at range. It’s not just my spells, I am not built to go into melee. I have 10 Con, low AC, move slowly, and can’t easily be healed because I’m a Dampir. My unicorn bloodline lets me heal myself when I cast spells and the healing I’ve gotten from Stone Shield combine with whatever else I’m casting has been the small but steady sustain which has allowed myself and others in the party to keep falling unconscious and instead keep fighting. I know 2 hp a turn doesn’t seem like much but these fights have had some very close calls.
What this really boils down to is this: had I known about the spell’s restriction I would have built my character differently and with a 4 person group I would have probably brought something else (honestly anything else) to the table that would have been more reliable.
The green is still difficult terrain, due to the ice storm. I've moved you up a double move action with Tenz's 50' speed. I think you're still out of range of any enemies.
If you want to take an alternative action, let me know, otherwise, I'll move things along.

Tenzo is really burnt to a crisp dead on the fireball. I tried to do the best I can. I don't think the way this is going I can survive it or Tenzo. It's just not working the way I have it set. I might have to do an entire rebuild using all my fame to make this work because the way it's going I won't make it past part one. The group has already burned resources on me to keep me going. A gm reroll to keep Tenzo up isn't the issue. I must be not set up for this or playing it wrong. I just don't know what to do to make it better.

Ermm If you made it all the way to level 12 with your build I don't think there should be anything wrong much.
Just bad luck, the fickleness of dice rolls or bad synergy between party members. Don't worry about it.
I'll just say, game on and let's do it. We can get Tenzo back or worse comes to worse, Tenzo II.

Ah I see.
There are times when I played on tables of 3 with one GMNPC.
I have also played on tables where we played high and I was at a much lower level. (This was before we have out of sub tier) So I spent much timing hiding or examining the floor.
Somehow we'll make it. That's an adventure by itself.
You'll have to excuse Boron for now, he has a wall to climb....

For some reason my phone keeps autocorrecting Felver to Fenvir and I don’t know why, neither of these collections of letters are real words. Yet. Anyway, the wizard who has been blasting us is far away and has a nice pocket of angry fighters protecting them. I will once again (but for the last time) advocate separating the enemies tag teaming this group first. Also getting to the wizard will mean moving through SEVERAL bugbears and you won’t have easy sneak attack opportunities.

To answer the question on if Boron takes damage from my spell or not, yes he does. A small point of order, they both take 9 damage instead of 10. I rounded 221lbs to 225lbs which is wrong so Boron would heal 1.
Also with the sound of big wings getting closer, not putting up a wall is definitely the better idea and after taking a look at my sheet I don't have that scroll anymore anyway.
Based on your last post do you want me to wait for an alternative action or move forward aquana?

At am nearly at a complete loss on what to do here. Its hilarious how this fight has just been relentlessly beating us over the head. We should try to be tactical about our next few actions. We are currently fighting 2 fights with 4 people. I do not believe that we have the manpower to fight two sorcerers and the group of 4 fighters (three of which are mainly just watching the fight happen) AND whatever that thing is that is on its way to help them. It might even be the boss, who knows?
Lets think. It's round five. One of us is dead and the only dude between the squishy casters and everyone else just got half of his blood slapped out of his body and is staggered. I can't do anything about the stagger but next round I can fly closer and blast people with a Cone of Cold. Aquana, do you have any big AoE spell you could cast? If we both let lose maybe we can even the odds a bit.
If someone else has another plan of action we should talk about it. With a good plan, teamwork, and a bunch of luck, we can still do this.
If you'd like to do something else you're welcome to, but I'm going to give them a reflex save. What would your DC for a 3rd level spell be?
Just waiting on Felver to move where desired and place obscuring mists.
I prefer another player to move Felver rather than me if he isn't going to do it.
Talking about plan sounds like a good idea generally.

I think that Felver can move 8 squares which will get him in range to launch a mist on the bridge. I have moved him BUT hear me out. As for what we are doing we need to start dealing damage to the enemies. I'd like us to switch up what we are doing to get that done. If Felver charges Teko he can get his sneak attack damage and I'll switch up what I am doing and hit the dude with a Shocking Grasp instead of making him roll a Reflex save on Stone Shape that he will obviously make.
Next round I'll hit Felver with Greater Invisibility so the two of us can always sneak attack. After that, who knows?
IF Felver agrees, feel free to use this roll. If not, I guess I'll stick with my Stone Shape idea. This attack is against his flat-footed Touch AC.

Wait. Wait. Before you move Felver just came over here to help us take this guy down. He is a pretty big threat. I'd like to take him down before whatever that thing is that is on its way to that fight shows up to make us all dead. If you really want to our split damage I'd recommend helping out Aquana, she has a bugbear in her face and that's not where wizards want to be.
I don't like two spellcasters just hanging around, but we shouldn't fight two fight when we can't even fight one.
I'll hold on for Doormouse and Felver to coordinate their actions.
I’ll wait until Saturday to update. It looks like we have a consensus but I want to make sure:)
