Patrick knows that these are called Hounds of Tindalos and that they have a gaze attack that shreds a person. Mental attacks against them are a bad idea.
Hounds of Tindalos
NE Medium outsider (evil, extraplanar)
Ripping Gaze (Su) The gaze's damage is magical. A creature that succeeds at its save is immune to that hound's gaze for 24 hours.
Otherworldly Mind (Ex) Any creature that uses a mind-affecting effect on a hound or communicates with it telepathically must attempt a DC 17 Will saving throw. A creature that fails takes 4d10 damage and becomes confused for 2d4 rounds. This is a mind-affecting effect.
The blue hound successfully avoids the worst of the electrical discharge.

Dr. Doc knows that they are immune to mind-affecting effects and poison. They are also resistant to physical damage unless the weapon is magical. They fly via magic and have some other magical powers related to time manipulation. They also have a special sense that allows them to track beings that mess with time and space.
Hounds of Tindalos
NE Medium outsider (evil, extraplanar)
Speed 40 ft., fly 40 ft. (flight, average)
Defensive Abilities otherworldly mind; DR 10/magic; Immunities mind-affecting effects, poison
Spell-Like Abilities
Constant—flight (3rd level; 40-ft. speed; self only)
Discern Prey (Su) Hounds of Tindalos can sense their prey, which is any creature that violates the laws of time and space, including trying to use magic to enter the Drift. A hound senses such creatures as if it had blindsense with a range of 120 feet, and the hound always knows the direction toward its prey. This directional sense works at any distance and across planar boundaries. If the prey is protected from divination, the hound must attempt a check, rolling 1d20 + the hound's CR against a DC that equals 11 + the caster level or CR of the creator of the antidivination effect. On a success, the hound ignores the effect. If the check fails, the hound can't try again and can't sense the prey while the effect lasts.
Red Hound stares at Teddington and then moves up next to him.
Fort DC 17
Blue Hound flies towards Felise. Didn’t she mention having problems with these hounds before? Going to be really difficult for her to get the Eternity Arch attuned if she is attacked.
Green Hound flies at Persephone and bites into her hard!

Dov winces as he gets torn up a bit by the Green hound's gaze. Seeing the blue hound threaten the portal and their new ally, he rushes back in that direction...
...and feels he can shake this effect off, now.
He targets the flat-footed Blue hound with a double-tap and special biohack he hasn't used on this trip before...
vs. EAC
Anesthesiology Inhibitor Biohack: Deal 7 *extra* Nonlethal Damage and gives the target the Fatigued condition (DC 19 Fortitude Save for half NL damage and no fatigue). If target is already fatigued, it is Exhausted instead. This is a poison effect.
Patrick is immun to the hounds gaze.
Dr. Doc knows that they are immune to mind-affecting effects and poison.
Dr. Dov hits the creature and the acid burns it. The inhibitor has no effect, causing the doctor to have a “Doh!” moment.
The Blue Hound is hanging on to existence by a single paw.

The mist within the Eternity Arch clears, as the time dimensional is shunted away and replaced by the transparent figure of a dragonkin clad in an explorer’s outfit. “I’ve attuned it!” Felise cries, her face lighting up. “The Arch is stabilized!” As the dragonkin figure within the Eternity Arch grows more substantial, Felise reaches toward her, tears streaming down her face. “Heraxia! Is it really you?” She cries.
“Felise!” The dragonkin reaches out, but as their hands near one another, Heraxia’s flickers, fading into insubstantial mist once more. “So, you’ve been investigating the Arch too?” Heraxia looks over the Starfinders assembled around the room, blinking back tears. “I see you’ve been getting some assistance as well. The Pathfinders have been helping me try to return home from here, but...”
Felise examines the archway for a moment and frowns, quickly sobering. “It’s not strong enough, is it? It’s completely attuned to your time, but you’re still wavering.”
“I can’t step through,” Heraxia says. “This time keeps pulling at me, holding me here. But I think I have a solution. The Pathfinders will put me into stasis by sealing me in a chamber within the ruins. Look for the secret door at the back of this room, behind the Eternity Arch.” Her voice grows fainter as she speaks. “I’ll...be waiting...for you...”
As Heraxia disappears, the Arch’s glow fades, the symbols carved on it freezing in place. Felise turns back to the Starfinders, drawing herself up to her full height. She takes a deep breath, then says, “Well, let’s go have a look.” After a careful inspection of the chamber’s back wall, she presses a panel, and the wall swivels open to reveal an ovular vault built of smooth red stone devoid of any edges or angles. A sealed metal and glass sarcophagus stands at its center.
Felise hurries over and, examining the pod’s controls, then quickly adjusts a few dials. The pod slides open with a hiss, revealing Heraxia’s sleeping form. As Felise reaches for her hand, the dragonkin’s eyes open. “At last,” Heraxia murmurs, taking Felise’s hand.
“At last,” Felise echoes, beaming. Through her tears of joy, she glances back at the Starfinders. “We are together again. We can’t thank you enough for your help. If you ever need anything at all, please don’t hesitate to call on us.”
