Current conditions are difficult terrain and increase Acrobatics DCs, DC15 to run or charge. Starting turns within 5ft of the oozes causes 1d6 fire damage. Striking with a weapon forces a Reflex vs 2d6 fire damage to the weapon.
...he jets backward as carefully as the slimy floor will allow him, the motion and his coat momentarily making him look like a (somewhat lethargic) jetting squid.
Full withdrawal, hopefully my Careful Combatant trait applies to difficult terrain.
Nectanebo recognizes the oozes as shard slags, dangerous creatures with much sturdier defenses than more common ones. In his haste, his mind slips past any grasp of further knowledge that what has already been displayed. Ooze type and traits.
The other slag grows a full complement of blades and flails at Kahwen and the skeleton next to it. With one slash it explodes the servant, before two more cruel slashes burn into the rogue. Thankfully, the final swings strike only the stone floor. However, the burning heat is sickening, causing Kahwen to stagger back.

Staggered:
A staggered creature may take a single move action or standard action each round (but not both, nor can he take full-round actions). A staggered creature can still take free, swift, and immediate actions. A creature with nonlethal damage exactly equal to its current hit points gains the staggered condition.
Both oozes recoil from the cold burst, their churning slowing and stultifying from the chill!

Kahwen manages to keep his sword from getting damaged and maybe from getting hurt by the heat. He even fights off the heat at first (probably) but the second wave catches.
Feeling on his last legs, he chooses the better part of valor, for the moment, doing a standing backflip to get away from the creature then moving as quickly as he can to get some other Pathfinders between him and the beasts, for the moment.
And Another, if it's got reach:1d20 + 23 ⇒ (11) + 23 = 34
X marks the spot where Kahwen was if that Reflex save doesn't avoid the heat and he gets knocked out or if he gets hit by an AoO and gets knocked out (he has 6HP left though I'll kick in my Resiliency Rogue Talent if he gets hurt and will get 16 Temp HP. He moved diagonally away from that spot before heading straight back toward the door.
With a desparate effort, Kahwen beats a hasty retreat from the deadly goo! The other ooze sinks into the floor, disappearing from sight. AoO provoked from Mykel!

"Behind you," Directs Nectanebo tersely, gently poking Mykel with the tip of his own sword before pivoting it in the still-clearly-present ooze's direction.
Mykel finds something singularly entrancing about Nectanebo's sword - as he gazes along its spectacular jeweled hilt and the subtle starlight-gleam of its edge, he feels time seem to slow down around him...
Mykel, I am spending 1 Focus from the Guidingstar to bestow upon you Quickness (like haste, but +2 to AC and Reflex saves) for the next 6 rounds. Use it wisely.
As Nectanebo enhances Mykel, the slag forms more blades and lashes out at both of them! Mykel is able to dodge, but the blade slashes into Nectanebo with sickening heat.

"I need to buy some potions!" Kahwen tells himself as he realizes he has no method of healing himself.
For the moment, he goes through a complex kata that alters his stance so that he goes from having the mannerisms of a humanoid crow to having the mannerisms of a humanoid Crane.
Full round action to use my Trance ability to gain the benefits of Crane Stance.

Ellismus doesn't like the look of this disappearing act... he launches another frost bomb on the remaining ooze and takes to the air with his wings, flying downstairs over Toral's head... going about 15 feet down total, i.e. 5 feet past Kahwen

Ellismus' chilly explosion is once again super effective, although not enough to slow the ooze this time. Toral feels his grip on the other oozes fate hold, however!
Mykel ducks underneath the long slashing blades and strikes another solid blow! The other ooze does not reappear as Nectanebo makes his next move, hampered by the searing pain.
Seeing the effectiveness of Ellismus' frosty explosions, Nectanebo considers an energy ray of his own, but realizes he is still in reach of the ooze, taking another withdrawl action to avoid further pain.
Edit: Realizing the pain is too much to move safely, Nectanebo guards against the flailing slag blades.
With only Mykel and Nectanebo in reach, the slag shard flails wildly at the defensive Pathfinders. Thanks to their caution, none of the blades manage to land!

Ellismus narrowly avoids a blade to the neck, but the burning heat of the blade still sinks in. The flailing blades cut into Toral and Nectanebo as well, but the second attacks thankfully swing wide.

Toral is able to renew his grasp on the slag's fortune, but the burning heat of its blade threatens to ruin his chant!

Despite Torals best efforts, the chilling explosion does not stop the ooze. However, the control of fate does prevent Mykel from being struck as he moves through the slippery goo to strike a solid blow!

Kahwen abruptly realizes that his tactical withdrawal is quickly just becoming him abandoning his fellow Pathfinders. He skids to a halt, turns around and starts running back down the stairs as quickly as he can.
Just moving back, not sure if that will put me back where my token is on the map or if I need another round.

Kahwen slips past the comatose Farroon. "Pardon me, madame."
He twists into a cartwheel to avoid being slashed by the weird creature then takes a swing with his sword, taking care to keep it in a defensive position, a position only enhanced by his new, agile stance.
Kahwen has mobility so his AC is 30 vs. AoO's caused by his movement and when fighting defensively in Crane stance with his Acrobatics his AC is 30 in general.
Kahwen makes a desperate dash into the fray and with one slice cuts through the chilled metal, causing the slag to collapse into the goo covering the floor!
Mykel already provoked its one AoO, so no danger there. Kahwen will need a reflex save against the fire damage to his weapon.
The machine shudders and forms a lifelike image made of its own tendrils and vile fluids. The image depicts an elven woman inserting an obsidian key into the machine’s flesh, a glowing spatial rift opening, and the elven woman walking through the rift accompanied by a halfling and a troll. The machine absorbs the image back into its body and a hand-shaped depression appears in its place.
Kahwen finds the machine too alien to even attempt to disable. As he places his hand in the depression, the tendrils surge over his arm to the elbow as a host of incomprehensible, inhuman imagery assaults his mind.
Cha Damage:1d6 ⇒ 6Will save to reduce.
Then, just as quickly, the machines tendrils retreat, freeing Kahwen from the embrace. A shimmering rift opens in space, hovering just a few inches above the goo-covered floor.
Assuming everyone performed their healing as Kahwen did, moving right along.
The trip through the shimmering portal is instantaneous and leads to the sterncastle of a black-hulled ghost ship. Though an icy wind blows the tattered remains of the ship’s useless black sails, some other force seems to push the vessel through a churning gray sea. Overhead, the sky is full of unrecognizable stars and an enormous white moon. To starboard, the gray sea is vast and endless. Several hundred yards to port, a single bleak rock, studded with strangely proportioned architecture, rises from the sea. A brass plaque mounted on the mast behind the ship’s wheel is inscribed with the name Voracious.
Behind, the portal appears to remain open. Nothing stirs on the deck, while it is obvious that the longboat on the deck has rotted to uselessness. A strange, hollow piping echoes from below decks.
As you take in the strange sights, an oppressive feeling descends upon you all, especially on Kahwen.
Kahwen is taking a -4 to all mental-attribute based checks, while the rest of the part is only -2.

"I'm fine. I'm fine! Just because you look and fight like an old man doesn't mean your my father. Are we going to stand around here chatting like a flock of gossips or are we going to investigate this boat so that we can leave this gods forsaken place?" The harsh words are out of place from the generally jovial young man, a clear sign that he's not as "fine" as he claims.
He doesn't give anyone much time to answer but starts exploring the ship, starting with the deck before heading below.
Kahwen manages to resist the worst of the alien machines influence before stepping through the portal. Cha damage reduced to 1. The windowless captain’s cabin at the rear of the main deck is devoid of any furnishings and its floor, ceiling, and walls are all painted pitch black.
