A creature entering the aura or starting its turn in the aura must succeed at a DC 16 Fortitude save or become sickened 1 (plus slowed 1 as long as it’s sickened on a critical failure). While within the aura, the creature takes a –2 penalty to saves against disease and to recover from the sickened condition. A creature that succeeds at its save is temporarily immune for 1 minute.

Not interested in being so close to the peryton, Domwurd moves his left hand in an arcane gesture and leaps forward, sailing past Haggra as he does so. Cast Jump
The shoony wizard then hurls more electricity, lashing out at nearby ghasts!
Electric Arc vs Ghast 1/2, DC 20 Reflex:2d4 + 4 ⇒ (4, 4) + 4 = 12
One of the ghosts takes the full force of the arc, and looks like its unholy energy is dissipating. The other jumps out of the way, avoiding much of it.
Domwurd is horrified to see his shadow twist and dance, transformed and staying that way even as he strides away.

Thinking that turnabout is fair play, he looks to the ghast as he tries to demoralize it by shaking his chains.

However, in his frighted state, he is not very frightening himself.
He then decides he will just attack, and takes the chains back in both hands, and attacks.

Kralgang feels a little funky as he fights off all the immediate problems as best he can. Nonetheless, his hands shake as he heals himself, then shoots the ghast. The creature wobbles… but remains standing. ! HP left!!!

The ghast, in turn, the creature tries to sink its fangs into Kralgang —

Domwurd knows he's in trouble, quickly whispering a spell to make himself disappear from sight!
Cast Invisibility
He then moves to get some distance from the peryton that is harassing him.
Yeah, lots of stacking. 1 hit = 1 will save. You were already frightened 1 on your turn, so you were frightened 2, then went down to frightened 1 at end of this turn
Domwurd casts Invisibility His shadow disappears as well! seems reasonable to me the Shadow manipulation effect is suppressed for now.
Interi HEROICALLY slashes at the horrible creature above their head — it falls with a snarl, dead on the ground!
Rixette's axe whirls through the air, catching the other Peryton in the neck!

The axe begins to spin in a circle on the ground, hacking at the Peryton's body as William looks to skewer the ounded ghast. "Don't worry Rixette, I'll get you."
The chicken-legged battle axe HEROICALLY strikes the Peyton; pieces of hawk and wolf fall to the ground.
William also HEROICALLY takes down the ghast!
With Peryton 1 down Kralgang is up, too!

Domwurd appears as he begins a lengthy conjuration spell. When the spell finishes a large cave scorpion appears next to the ghast!
Fort save:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15
Unfortunately it is impacted by the ghast's ghastly smell.
Nonetheless, it snaps at the undead creature with its pincers.
Strike vs 1:1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 - 1 = 12 Strike vs 1:1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 - 1 = 9
It fails to come close to being a threat
Interi's first attack downs the Peryton! Rixette's axe flies over their shoulder and strikes the ghast.
Domwurd appears, but the scorpion seems befuddled and misses twice.
Interi steps towards the ghast.

William lazily floats through the air. "This isn't so bad Pugs." The axe circles with William, chopping as it jumps a couple of inches into the air all on its own.

Haggra sizes up the ghast for another attack.
+1 striking cold iron spiked chain, Strategem:1d20 + 11 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 11 - 1 = 16
While it didn’t look perfect, with his flank he decides to go for it.
Slashing Magic Cold Iron, Strategem:2d8 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3) + 4 = 9
He then strikes one more time, before recovering from the fright from the peryton

Together, you HEROICALLY take down the ghast! Out of combat!
You make sure to return with evidence for Port Valen that you've slain these beasts, causing the people of Port Valen to rejoice and shower you with 60 GP!
Viltydus is there, slowly clapping. I hear your efforts were fraught with danger, and it seemed as if you might not make it. But true HEROES persevere in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds!
They frown. What's that odd smell? Ghast fever? Why we can't have our HEROIC HEROES walking around with pustules and sores! No, that won't do. HEROES must be hale and healthy for all their HEROIC adventures! Viltydus wave their hands, casting Remove Disease on all of you who are suffering from Ghast fever.
I can tell already, this will be a long and beneficial relationship with the Pathfinder Society. I simply must hear all the details of your adventure… who's ready for a feast of truly EPIC proportions?
"After all this, I think I deserve a treat," Domwurd says, agreeing with Pugsley. His stomach growls and he begins panting with excitement for the feast to come.
Viltydius snaps their fingers, and the table in the feasting hall is suddenly overflowing with steaming plates of yummy food. Pathfinders and townsfolk start to gather by the droves — here for the food, as well as a good story.
Table scraps? I would never dream of it, Pugsley. HEROES deserve the finest food. Now is the time to rest and enjoy… they look at Haggra. …and that's an order!
