"If you insist..."
After learning his plan, Enora carefully aims over Berato's head and casts fireball, using her staff. (standard action)
The spell should affects the psychementals only (see map).

The fireball deals 8d6 fire damage to all creatures and objects in the area (Reflex save DC 18 for half).

I'm really hoping that the full attack of Elliot (each attack being a sneak attack) will put a dent into these psychementals... also hoping that Enora's got lots of magic missiles she can send into these guys! incorporeal foes are super hard!

Unfortunately, Berato's hopes will be crushed:
Right now Elliot is wielding a crossbow, so no full attack this round.
And Enora's got no magic missiles at all - did not learn the spell...
But she can cast fireball two more times, and also one scorching ray. Afterwards, there's always acid splash...

@GM Nowruz: this is a long-weekend here in Canada, and I have a day off tomorrow where I could put lots of time preparing posts. Would you mind botting Zafira and Elliot? I can help with the botting if you like. Regards, PDK
@Elliot and Zafira: GM PDK is going to bot you this round. Please try to post more regularly as this fight is very dangerous and you know your character best. Please also check chronicle sheets for any boons that could help. Thanks
@GM PDK: thanks for the offer. Please go ahead and bot Elliot and Zafira. Thanks

Elliot drops the crossbow and moves up to the incorporeal creature while drawing a waraxe and attempts to hurt it.
+1 weapon
After 5 ft step you get 3 attacks Elliot: waraxe 14/9 and handaxe 14, bless, haste, flank and twf penalties included; make 2nd weapon handaxe to avoid -4/-4 penalty; because you have twf you can draw both weapons as part of 5 ft. Step
@GM PDK: Elliot had a crossbow in hand last round. So he can drop that as a free action but as he has no quick draw feat he may only draw a weapon as a move action, or as a free action as part of movement (not a 5 ft step). So he can only attack once which he did so that was correct.
@GM: ok thanks! @Elliot: Next round you get 4 attacks: waraxe 14/14/9 and handaxe 14, bless, haste, flank and twf penalties included; make 2nd weapon handaxe to avoid -4/-4 penalty otherwise reduce the above numbers by 2

Blessing of Fervor: Each round for the duration of this spell, each of your allies can choose one of the following bonuses for that round at the beginning of its turn (their choice).
-Increase its speed by 30 feet. -Stand up as a swift action without provoking an attack of opportunity. -Make one extra attack as part of a full attack action, using its highest base attack bonus. -Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves. -Cast a single spell of 2nd level or lower as if it were an enlarged, extended, silent, or still spell.
These effects are not cumulative with similar effects, such as those provided by haste or a speed weapon, nor do they actually grant an extra action, so you can’t use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round. Blessing of fervor does not stack with haste.

doing what PDK suggested, because I'm too tired to think on my own, and Blessing of Fervor does not stack with hast
Elliot takes out his second weapon and continues to strike against the incorporeal psy creature with the blue aura.

Elliot has the dirty fighter trait, so he does +1 damage against enemies he flanks.
Also, if Elliot chooses to gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves from BoF, it may not stack with haste but still provide useful. The result of all attack rolls would be higher by 1.
Casting Blessing of Fervor on Elliot, Enora and Berato
Please indicate which bonus you all use. Thanks.

Zafira is now standing an sends several blows towards the plant where only the first one hits and also burns with acid!

The incorporeal psychemental is hit by three hard strikes of Elliot's waraxe but its form is not torn apart, yet.

Enora sends her fireball into the battle and one psychemental is hit hard while the other can dodge some of the fire. Berato's spell gives him immunity!

The two floating PSYCHEMENTALS both fly up into the air and suddenly in Enora's direction!
They both target Enora with a touch!! These incorporeal fields shimmer with a constant flux of colors and shapes that coalesce into distorted, ephemeral images and reflections.

@Berato and Elliot: You can take AoOs versus these two creatures.
@Enora: Please two will saves DC 18. The effects stack as you are targeted twice by mindwipe: You erase a portion of the target’s mind and experiences, inflicting 2 temporary negative levels on the target for 1 day per caster level. If the target is a spellcaster who must choose and prepare spells in advance, each negative level imposed by mindwipe also causes the target to lose one prepared spell from her highest level of spells known for each of her spellcasting classes for which she must prepare spells. These lost spells are no longer considered known by the target until the corresponding negative levels are removed.

You all hear a strange voice in you heads!
I thought we can aid each other, Pathfinders. Much the way you aided the Muckmouth tribe. The Sunsu Godae could have made excellent allies for your missions, Onhae could have been a good base of operations.
Unfortunately, you are dumb! And the Onhae also still cling to their outdated ways and religion. If you stop now and convince them to worship Aram Zey as the Ruby Phoenix they would be loyal to you. Those who do follow him already call themselves 'Pathfinders.' But you do not want to cooperate! So you will die!
Then the large plant uses its toothy mouth to bite Zafira but she dodges.
The plant also slashes at her with six incredibly strong tentacles where three can hit and grab her so that she eventually falls to the ground unconscious and is dying although the aid spell of the archon really helped to prevent more damage!!

Enora has AC 21, touch 17 [21], flat-footed 16 (+4 armor [force effect], +1 deflection, +2 Dex, +1 dodge [feat], +1 size, +2 dodge [BoF])
If the force effect of mage armor counts against incorporeal, then the second attack would have missed. Please tell me your ruling.
Also, if that attack missed, the fireball deals an additional 1d6 of fire damage (I rolled it separately, see below).

Negative Levels wrote:
For each negative level a creature has, it takes a cumulative –1 penalty on all ability checks, attack rolls, combat maneuver checks, Combat Maneuver Defense, saving throws, and skill checks. In addition, the creature reduces its current and total hit points by 5 for each negative level it possesses. The creature is also treated as one level lower for the purpose of level-dependent variables (such as spellcasting) for each negative level possessed. Spellcasters do not lose any prepared spells or slots as a result of negative levels. If a creature’s negative levels equal or exceed its total Hit Dice, it dies.

Super sorry, the AC 14 was a typo as I wanted to write 15 because that was in your tagline. I did not check the status as I thought that was for your own tracking. So only the first touch attack hits! Do you want to use a reroll for that will save?

@GM Nowruz:
Sorry, my bad. Also, no reroll available.
But I've got a question: If you allow, Enora would spend her move action instead of a 5 foot step, using her Dimensional Slide abillity (and cast fireball afterwards).
I just forgot that she can do that - her being a pre-gen and all... *facepalm*
It would most definitely help her escape the psychementals.
Dimensional Slide Enora can spend 1 reservoir point during a move or withdraw action to step through a dimensional rift, essentially spending 5 feet of movement to move dimensionally up to 70 feet away. The dimensional movement doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity, though the rest of the move provokes as normal.

Hi Enora, you can do the dimensional slide in a move action but that would provoke an attack of opportunity as it would not be a 5 ft anymore. Is that ok?

Hello everyone! I'm back from vacation as well. Ref: dimensional slide --> it can be done as part of a move action and counts as 5 ft. of movement and the ability specifically say it doesn't provoke AoOs. I know. It's uber and the source of many frustrations when I GM my overly powerful players in another AP I'm running... :P (summary: the teleportation doesn't provoke AoOs; only the regular movement spent during the rest of the move action does.
Berato doesn't even attempt to strike the psychementals as they leave since he doesn't have a magic weapon in hand. He tells the dwarf, "Attack this plant with your axe! Enora and I will try to kill the flying things with magic while I try to flank the plant with you!"
Berato casts eagle's spendor on himself and moves next to Zafira.
The hound archons flank the plant creature, one of them standing over Zafira protectively, and they both open up a dizzying series of attacks!

@GM Nowruz:
Thank you very much, I'll take the opportunity to retcon.
The dimensional slide does not provoke AoOs, only the rest of the movement (see below).
Dimensional Slide Enora can spend 1 reservoir point during a move or withdraw action to step through a dimensional rift, essentially spending 5 feet of movement to move dimensionally up to 70 feet away. The dimensional movement doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity, though the rest of the move provokes as normal.
Enora seems to make a 5-foot-step... but instead vanishes completely!
She appears far northeast again, where she runs 10 feet north.
Feeling a bit safer now she casts fireball.
The map is adapted to reflect the changed actions.
Unfortunately, it's only 9 damage for the psychementals each, not 11.
I misread; the additional die I rolled before is not applicable, as Enora still got two temporary negative levels - from one hit... o_O

5 ft step south and Channel Energy (Su) to heal living creatures, excluding all 3 hostile creatures on the map (current Cha is 19 via eagle's splendor), and selecting blue via Purifying Channel feat to inflict equal fire damage on it. Incorporeal creatures take full damage from Channel Energy.

Purifying Channel: When you channel positive energy to heal, one creature that you exclude from your channeling takes an amount of fire damage equal to the die result you roll for healing, and is dazzled for 1 round by the light of these flames.

Calling this fight over as you can definitely do more damage in round than it can heal by mindwiping 1 of you. :-) And Gameday is approaching.
You jointly attack the last incorporeal creature and are really able to destroy it once and for all!
Suddenly, you all hear something!!
The large plant seems to have just succumbed to its injuries!
Killing the etheroot releases an explosion of psychic and emotional energies.
kn planes or arcana DC 15 :
Now that the creature is dying you realize something ... it seems as if the Etheroot was planted as a seedling inside the tapestry, but its ethereal roots lead out to the Transitive Planes surrounding the
demiplane.
You all see holes beginning to open in the tapestry where the etheroot’s tendrils used to be and planar energies surge into the demiplane from outside, fueling the something that you identified earlier ...
Suspence
... the silver squall that has been building in Onhae.
Can you all please give me four checks including your negative levels.
1. A diplomacy or kn religion
2. A diplomacy or kn planes
3. A diplomacy or kn nobility
4. A diplomacy or kn history

The whole group is suddenly aware of the impact that the violet etheroot's death had on this demiplane!
You all are swept up in the vortex of the silver squall, a planar tide of aggressive, competing ideas. Enora already identified the squall earlier while exploring the village and all of you hear something ...
... you hear the discordant voices of opposing ideas clashing with each other!
Proponents of Onhae’s old ways clashing against the new.
The fear of the apocalypse that was halted is struggling against the shame brought on by a daughter killing her father, the old leader.
You can hear all arguments that you personally presented to Fen and the villagers within the Silver Squall, parroting your own statements and your justifications against you.
The squall is an argument made manifest!!!
************ EMOTIONS FLOOD YOUR MIND ****** VOICES FLOOD YOUR MIND ***************
~ FAITH ~
Lin Fen Hai’s faith in her new god, Aram Zey, the Ruby Phoenix Guardian and savior of Onhae.
“Aram Zey saved Onhae, The old ways failed to protect my people, Evil spirits corrupted the old faith, and it was time to purge them.”
~ FEAR ~
Onhae’s fear of the end of their world and the collapse of the demiplane.
“The river went dry because the old gods abandoned us,” “If we return to the old ways, Aram Zey will smite us,” “We brought ruin on our world and only the new god can save us.”
~ PRIDE ~
Lin Fen Hai’s pride in being chosen by her god, and in serving, protecting, and leading her people.
“Our leader is chosen by the divine, I am the only one who can save my people, I am a prophet and my course was set by Aram Zey.”
~ SHAME ~
The shame Fen feels for killing her father to assume leadership of Onhae.
“The old leader abandoned us, my father wanted Onhae to die, the sacred flower showed me the evil spirits surrounding him. I had no choice.”
You all realize that to survive with your emotions intact, you must defeat the silver squall!
You must counter the beliefs and ideas it represents and argue it down.
Enora and Berato do everything they can and they feel PRIDE, FAITH, FEAR and SHAME clashing against each other!!
You all relive the interactions with Onhae’s people, the guards, and Lin Fen Hai.
After endless moments of emotional exchange you are able to quiet a portion of the storm by telepathically presenting arguments against the squall that fall within the scope of those clashing emotions!
This was a round based skill challenge and I hope it is ok that I shortened it a bit and summarised your success! ;-D
~
~ ~ ~ A sudden sense of peace ~ ~ ~
~
You calm the squall and tiny fragments of thought briefly fall from the sky like sleet. When they pass, the air is peaceful and still. Lin Fen Hai is alive and whatever forces are at play teleport her in front of you and she is in tears!!
"I ... I cannot belive it!" she says overcome by a sudden sense of peace. She is open to listening to what you have to say and
teaches you about the village’s old religion as this seems important to you.
~
~ ~ ~ The old religion
~
Lin Fen Hai is rehabilitated, the end of the squall is felt and this brings tranquility to the village!
You return to the village with Lin Fen Hai and can now freely access the old hut and learn about the old religion without upsetting any of the villagers. In addition, your interest in the true sacred flower is noted.
Lin Fen Hai looks at you and bows. "I give you permission to take it! You have helped to see the truth and I ... I am so sorry! This season’s bloom has brought nothing but trouble for us!" she says and guides you to harvest the sacred flower that you need.
