It seems like we are going for another anchor success with Trokkus' intimidate. I do not know if we always have to take another skill but if yes then here a bluff check.
Bluff to deceive :1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
"Eveeeerryyyything will be fine!!! Really, trust us! We will do everything so it will be fine!"
You move across the dome and find another person radiating green light. He appears to be varisian. He sits behind a table, shuffling cards, and laying them out in front of him. He mumbles to himself, "death, pain, suffering. Always. Death, pain, suffering. again. Death, pain, suffering." He glances up noticing your presence and resumes shuffling cards. "Shall I tell you future. Although, it would not make a difference. Death pain suffering." He then begins laughing. "Or, we could play a game of Towers. We already know how this all ends."
This Harbinger seems a bit off and would rather play cards. Bluff, Profession (gambler), or Sleight of Hand to beat him.
Will count Zaarah's roll as one check, a success. Anyone else want to play a game?
Some one could roll for bernard. He has a decent bluff at +19
Okay on to the next. Just a heads up. Not all of the encounters with harbingers are skill checks or solved with diplomacy. But I do appreciate the forethought of it
An older male, swathed in robes, stands at his position. He holds onto a chain around his neck, a eye of Aroden hanging below his hands. "Well met travelers. You are lucky to meet me here, as many are not privileged to stand before divinity. Descended from the Living God himself, and now, his avatar for his power."
"Once this cataclysmic event occurs, then there will be no more chaos. Just darkness." The male thinks over it for a moment. "You are correct. Prophecies should not be forced, but allowed to form freely."
An arc of green lightning gathers above and crashes to the surface, leaving something bizarre in its wake.
Three black amorphous blobs rise from the craters, covering everything in their paths.
"It seems your are to be tested first." The man smiles and takes a seat on the steps by a fountain.
“A test?!? If it is physical I would rather allow Mesh to do the speaking!“ she says with a smile to her intelligent black blade and lightning is visible as Zaarah is still holding the shocking grasp spell charge.
It is a black pudding, a giant one. It has Ooze traits and has the defensive ability Splitwhen attacked by piercing or slashing weapons. They also have the ability to constrict their prey and are acid is very corrosive.

I'm assuming that we're not in a traditional initiative, but attack as normal...?
"No worries there, lass! Smashin' is all I know how ta do!" Gilgrim calls out with a grin as he strides towards the nearest ooze and slams it with his hammer.
Bernard pierces yellow with his stare. swift action, -3will saves, -3SR and -3 to any spell/SLA DCs it has. +2 will if normally immune (which seems to be pretty much everything... like oozes. oof).
Then casting Murderous Command on yellow. DC20 Will save.
Murderous Command:
You give the target a mental urge to kill its nearest ally, which it obeys to the best of its ability. The target attacks its nearest ally on its next turn with a melee weapon or natural weapon. If necessary, it moves to or charges to the nearest ally in order to make this attack. If it is unable to reach its closest ally on its next turn, the target uses its turn to get as close as possible to the ally.
@ Gilgrim, we are in initiative. I am trying to keep us on schedule. So letting you all go first. Besides these guys have a negative initiative. If the fight is actually important, I may start rolling again.
Sorry, was out of comission yesterday with spring autumn cleaning.
Kindle calls on the power of lightning, "Chew on this!" the pumpkin head shouts at red. He then shifts forward.
Aggressive Thundercloud VS RedDC19 Reflex Negates:3d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 2) = 6
Zaraah calls out the aberrations weaknesses and then buffs the party.
Gilgrim moves in and smacks the ooze hard with his hammer.
yellow will:1d20 ⇒ 1
Bernard is able to tap into the ooze, somehow, and gets it to change its target.
Trokkus charges and drives his fist into the ooze. The spikes cut through the beast, dividing it into two.
red reflex:1d20 ⇒ 8
Kindle tosses a sphere of electricity and manages to place it dead center on the red ooze, electrifying it.
white ooze vs Gilgrim:1d20 ⇒ 163d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 4) = 93d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 3) = 13Miss red ooze vs trokkus:1d20 ⇒ 33d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 1) = 73d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 4) = 14Miss green ooze vs Kindle:1d20 ⇒ 123d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 5) = 153d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 4) = 13Hit green ooze vs kindle, grab & constrict:1d20 ⇒ 203d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 1) = 73d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 5) = 13
Kindle is slammed by green and quickly pulled close to it. It does not take long before it begins to constrict her. From the hit. 22 bludgeoning damage and 13 acid. If you are wearing armor. Need a DC 23 reflex save or it takes 3d6 damage. From the constrict, you take an addition 14 bludgeoning and 13 acid damage. And need a second reflex save for the armor damage, this one at a -4 penalty.
So will not retcon this for round 1, but if you attack the ooze with a metal or wooden weapon, you must make a DC 23 reflex save or the weapon takes 3d6 acid damage.
Knowing death may be close, Kindle attempts to set the ooze aflame.
Concentration VS Grapple (10+Ooze CMB+Spell Level (4th [For Druid:1d20 + 25 ⇒ (9) + 25 = 3434-14=Besting a CMB of at least 21.
Feats and Factors:
Combat Casting: You get a +4 bonus on concentration checks made to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability when casting on the defensive or while grappled.
Uncanny Concentration: You do not need to make concentration checks when affected by vigorous or violent motion or by violent weather. You gain a +2 bonus on all other concentration checks.
Warrior Priest: You gain a +1 bonus on initiative checks and a +2 bonus on concentration checks made to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability when casting defensively or while grappled.
Gloves of Elvenkind: These plain gray leather gloves grant a +5 competence bonus on Spellcraft checks and concentration checks made to cast a spell defensively. Both gloves must be worn for the magic to be effective.
Wisdom Score: 7
7+10+4+2+2=25.
If that is successful...
Flame Strike VS White Ooze and Red Ooze:10d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 6, 5, 4, 4, 5, 4, 5, 2) = 40
If the oozes are not vanquished by Flame Strike, if one of the melee can finish them off, I can have Rosella double move back to Kindle and use a Swift Action Lay on Hands to buy him an extra round.
On the previous round I failed to see that haste happened.
white reflex:1d20 ⇒ 15 red reflex:1d20 ⇒ 14 Not sure what the DC of the flame strike was, but with negatives to reflex, I doubt those passed
Kindle manages to make the appropriate gestures and calls down divine flames.
Kitajo's first round
Kitajo moves to yellow and smacks yellow with the blunt end of his weapon.
Kitajo's second round
Kitajo lets loose on the ooze. Landing three blows.'
Trokkus goes on the defensive.
Gilgrim drops red with a single strike. So 3d6 damage can not get through adamantine's hardness. Especially since the damage is halved from energy damage.
With the stare already in place, Bernard casts Murderous Command at yellow again. DC20 Will save.

The green ooze easily keeps control of kindle and continues to squeeze the life from her. 13 bludgeoning and 13 acid from maintaining the grapple. 11 physical and 15 acid from the constrict. Pretty sure that takes you past your negative con score.

A grin starts to spread across the dwarf's face he gets into a rhythm of his swings. The smile quickly vanishes, though, when the ooze drops into a pile of goo at his feet. "Tha's it?! Wha kinda fight was that?!"
Feeling the energy leave his body again, he moves over to the next ooze to dispatch it.
Free Action: Drop Defensive Stance.
Five-foot step
Full Attack Action: Vs. white.
Hammer Attack w/ Power Attack/Haste:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (19) + 15 = 34 Hammer Damage:2d6 + 14 ⇒ (1, 5) + 14 = 20
Swift action, moving the stare to Green, then standard action using my Phantasmagoric Breath.
Electric:5d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 1, 5, 5) = 22
DC22 Will save to negate.
Phantasmagoric Breath:
Phantasmagorical Breath (Su) - Electric: At 1st level, a mindwyrm mesmer has learned to mimic a true dragon’s destructive breath using his psychic ability. A number of times per day equal to his Charisma bonus (minimum 1 per day), a mindwyrm mesmer can unleash his phantasmagoric breath in either a 30-foot cone or a 60-foot line as a standard action. The breath induces a psychosomatic response in creatures caught in the area, dealing 1d6 points of energy damage at 1st level, plus an additional 1d6 points of energy damage at 3rd level and for every 2 mesmerist levels thereafter. The mindwyrm mesmer selects the type of energy damage this deals (acid, cold, electricity, or fire) when this ability is first gained; once made, this choice can’t be changed. Creatures affected can attempt a Will save (DC = 10 + 1/2 the mindwyrm mesmer’s mesmerist level + his Charisma modifier) to realize the true nature of the attack, which negates all damage. This is a mind-affecting effect.
as I can only stare at one creature at a time, yellow will be uneffected by this since it's mind-effecting. green will have the standard -3 will/SR/DCs and +2 will for being immune
