Earlier, after the succubus fight:
Agata heals Theodoric with his wand and casts Extended Heroism on Zaarah (340 minutes duration from the end of that fight).
"Alie, please take that thar wand if'n ye've a hankering fer it, but if ye've better things t'do, know that Junior here can always carry it fer ya."(I will certainly defer to Alie if she wants to take the wand of enervation, but it could also likely be a good option for Sweet Mawd, freeing up Alie to use her (I'm sure) more powerful spells).
Now, during the Vines fight:
GM, as mentioned when we first encountered the strange smell, Agata activated her Aura of Purity hex, which I think should negate the effect of the pollen cloud for everyone within 10' of Agata?
Also, GM, it looks like Flint killed Blue, but it still attacked?
Agata DC 24 Will save (if needed), planar penalty:1d20 + 19 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 19 - 2 = 27 Sweet Mawd DC 24 Will save (if needed), planar penalty:1d20 + 16 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 16 - 2 = 26
Investigative Mind (1/17) - take the better result of these two rolls: Agata Knowledge (Nature), planar penalty, clear ear:1d20 + 25 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 25 - 2 + 2 = 33 Agata Knowledge (Nature), planar penalty, clear ear:1d20 + 25 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 25 - 2 + 2 = 32
So, for knowledge checks, results of 33 and 18. I'm not sure how many questions that gets me but, in descending order of priority: immunities, resistances, special defenses, weakest save.
Agata swiftly casts a spell at the remaining viper vine. Quickened Enervation, or Piercing Quickened Enervation if the Knowledge check revealed that they have SR
Finally, with the creature's defenses hopefully hobbled by a double dose of enervation, Agata wiggles her eyebrows maliciously at it.
Retribution Hex - DC 27 Will save; 9 rounds duration if fails. "Immediately after the hexed creature deals damage in melee, it takes half that damage (round down). This damage bypasses any resistances, immunities, or damage reduction the creature possesses."
Then Agata backs up in hopes of keeping her friends within her sweet smelling aura.
I screwed up and failed the will save as I forgot to subtract the minus two for my planar penalty. Apologies for not noticing it sooner, so my Haste spell did not go off.
No worries, Alie, I'm gonna put up an ooc reminder at the bottom of all my posts reminding folk of the planar penalties. Sorry folk, been a real busy weekend...I'll move us forward when I get back home this afternoon...
@Agata: In general, when some of the PCs act at the bottom of the round and some in the top of the next round, I'll adjudicate the bottom as first; since Flint acted in round 2 and Zaarah in round 1, she was AoO'ed by blue before Flint killed it...
No resistances, immune to acid and mind-affecting spells
Will:1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 - 2 = 7
While Agata resists the spores and effectively hexes the remaining viper vine, Alie and Theodric succumb and walk next to it...as they look delicious, the viper vine tries to take a bite outta both...
...and it succeeds, confirming they both are tasty...but in due to Agata's hex, it recoils as it suffers damage from both bites...meanwhile, Alie and Theodric temporarily snap out of it, trying to resist their captivation...
Alie & Theodric, since the vine inflicted damage on you, you get another Will Save
Also, the others of you that are not captivated that are still in the cloud must make another save

Marta is easily able to resist the effects and plunges forward with her spear, entering Panther Style in case she draws an AoO. Unless it has a 15' reach that should not be the case.
…hitting him once and her twice…but again the creature recoils for each strike as it causes damage to itself, keeping it from grabbing the two Pathfinders…

Flint’s accuracy is just a bit off this go round, compared to his last couple rounds, as only four of his arrows strike the target…but that is just enough, along with the previous damage inflicted, as those four pierce deeply into the heart of the plant, and it withers up and dies like her sister vines…

Flint leaves the pollinated zone and searches the area for any treasure. He suspects that these creatures have lunched on others before.
44 Perception on a take 10.
The dwarf looks around at the party and notices that people have only picked up some deep scratches, superficial cuts and acid burns. Quite amazing considering the size and ferocity of the plant creatures.
"Well we I guess we should set up camp. Theodric you do have the tent right?"
Flint finds no sign of any prior victims of these vines; he gets the idea that they don’t get much in the way of visitors here…and perhaps that these vines were used as guards by the succubi…

"Sweet Mawd, tend t' our frens here an' hop to it! Them bruises ain't gonna heel themselves!"
The poor little azata scurries about ministering to the wounded. Go ahead and roll your own healing and let me know if I should mark charges off of my wands (either CLW for 1d8+1 or Infernal Healing for 10 hp)
"When ye've finished, p'raps a spot o' tea would be nice. Me lumbago is actin' up agin..."
Agata is fine with camping for the night if that's what people want to do, though I'll note that she's hardly begun to use her daily resources so I'm fine to push on if we want to. If/when we do spend the night, Agata is probably going to change a few of her spell choices for the next day.

Marta magics herself with a Cure Serious Wounds:3d8 + 14 ⇒ (5, 8, 1) + 14 = 28 Which pretty much does the trick, leaving her with a single unhealed scratch. She joins Flint in the search for previous victims.
Marta also switches out her amulet of mighty fists for the lesser talismans since she is going to be assuming the role of defensive wall for a while.

@Agata - We are stopping because our characters have been travelling and climbing a mountain and volcano all day long. Typically parties are only able to travel 8 hours per day without risking exhaustion and we have a fair bit of overland travel yet to do I imagine.
"Agata, you don't have a place for us to rest for the night? You know a magical hut, a house or a pocket dimension?"
"I have a scroll for this but it will not last nearly long enough."
Flint turns around as everyone is jumping to use magic to heal up.
"With bruises like that a couple of bandages and salves and a good night rest would have done the trick. Well, maybe next time."
"I had to patch up a few friends like that in the Mana Wastes. It was good times."
Not really, but this is how memory often works. :)

Alright I arranged a guard duty roster based on the different spell recovery needs of the party as well as having at least one martially capable person on each shift of four hours. Arcane casters will have 8 hours of scheduled uninterrupted rest and the divine casters can take the middle shift and then pray for spells in the early morning before going back to bed.
We should probably leave a couple of hours after this for spell preparations, breakfast and other miscellaneous individual tasks that the characters need to do. So say we start at around noon tomorrow.
I am going to assume that we are going to sleep in the pavillion tent that Theodric brought with him unless someone suggests otherwise.
"I think our guard duty should be Agata and Zaarah as first shift, myself (Flint) and Marta as the middle shift and then Alie and Theodric as the last shift."

Theodric stops hugging the giant flower and looking at his wounds and new armor dents, fishes out a thin maple wood stick, handing it out to Agata. "I did it again, didn't I? did I succeed, in kissing it, at least?"

Flint begins the day with a mix of martial arts, meditation and light reading. After adjusting his equipment and a hardy brunch the dwarf inquires if the rest of the party is ready to continue on with the adventure. The dwarf has already shielded himself against the elements the previous evening at the sight of the lava pools (Endure Elements) so he is unaffected (so far) from the rising temperatures.

Theodric passes his lesser extend rod to Alie in case she still has that beautiful heroism spell today, and begs Agata to keep his wand of cure light wounds, not only for his future needs but those of herself or her tiny friend.
He fixes breakfast for everyone, sampling the camp stew several times but leaving the pot of mixed brown and sticky rice alone until the very end. "There everyone. This should be ready. The venison jerky looks plump now and has seemingly been breathed new life by the broth's juices... come and get it!"
As the heroes fill up on rice and stew, he begins to wash half a dozen crispy red apples, then proceeds to cut them in slices on an old dark wood cutting board with a razor-sharp dagger.

While extremely well-disciplined and polite Flint does have a dry sense of humour and enjoys the friendly back and forth with Theodric.
"Protection from Evil may be a prudent precaution once we reach their strong-hold. However it may not be a practical solution if we are travelling cross-country for hours at a time. Also if memory serves it would have not been effective against those plant creatures. So avoid flowers in this place if you can."
Flint says with a smirk.
I think the chances of running into another intoxicating plant is fairly low so Theodric should be alright in that regard. :)
"Excellent stew, Theodric. Your mother's recipe?"
@GM Otha - If you can uncover the part of the map that we can see or simply move us along the road once we are ready to leave that would be fantastic. :)

Theodric's enlarge person had run out before we met the plant monsters so his AC was back to 38; however due to travel at the time I wasn't able to change back my tags in time so some of the strikes may not have come through. I hate to retcon so I don't want to change back; just letting you know the header is fixed now.

Flint raises a single eyebrow at Theodric's less than subtle implication but he is obviously not offended by the man's query.
"Intuition, really. I learned how to cook from my mother. My father thought that it was all a silly waste of time and not befitting a dwarf warrior who should find a better way to spend his time. Still you have to eat, that is a fact."
No worries retconning, Theodric; add two charges back to your wand. I only saw one hit that would’ve been affected (a 34 vs your FFAC) that wouldn’t have hit otherwise…

Flint waits until people are finished with their meal and their preparations before encouraging them to start up on their mission again.
He then leads them along the path moving forward.
People just put up your buffs (if any) with your next post if you have not already. I would like to keep this game moving. :)
@GM Otha - All of the map moving forward is covered up so we are entirely in your hands. Pick a direction if the path forks in multiple directions.

Marta observes the banter but does not participate. She also engages in morning exercises and kata's, though her style is heavily modified and barely resembles any known kata, often slipping from one style (dragon) to another (panther) and then to something unique which incorporates her spear. As always, her movements are precise and each run through the dance looks almost identical to the previous one, even down to the orbits of her ioun stones. At teh end she seems a bit winded and sweaty, but pleasantly so.
Marta does not bother with an endure elements unless the temperature starts rising above 105 F.
After her exercises she dries off and slips on her equipment, including her robe and monocle and many necklaces. Apparently, in spite of the danger, she must trust you all enough to have stripped herself of much of her gear.

Although the trail is clear, the twisted vegetation on its edges regenerates at an alarming rate, threatening to overtake the roadway in the near future.

"Hey Marta: eat something. Chef's order!" says Theodric, passing a bowl of steaming stew over rice, with a fork planted in it at an angle.
============================
Once in view of the lake, and noting the heat rising, he silently thanks Desna for having purchased the purple Tian silk banner sticking out of his back. Decorated with three stylized orchid flowers, the banner kept him cool or warm at all times, in order to keep him comfortable and focused on the fight at hand.

Flint's previous enchantment helps to protects him from the heat (Endure Elements). The dwarf spends a moment to renew some of his magic as it expires during his journey.
Heightened Awareness and Barkskin are renewed.
Flint calls for a brief halt as he examines the vegetation around them and he looks for tracks to see whom might have passed. Flint looks to the regenerating plant-life to see if it is a hazard or unnatural.
"We can bypass the lake quite easily. Keep alert."
All checks include the planar penalty already.
46 Perception on a take 10 (See Invisibility is active)
K-Nature 23 on a take 10 for the plant life (32 if it is a creature).
Generally it is DC 20 to determine if the feature is unnatural.
Survival of 33 to know if the regenerating plant life is a hazard and how best to bypass it.
Generally it is DC 15 to bypass a natural hazard.

Marta casts an extended heroism on herself, assuming the worst when they get within 10 minutes of the lake. She also casts a non-extended corruption resistance (chaos) and heightened awareness spell and has someone cast ablative barrier from the wand.
If Flint takes us around the lake, forget all that.

"I have a scroll for this but it will not last nearly long enough."
Agata sighs and looks mournful. "Aye, once I mighta offert the finest o' hospit- hospit- " she pauses to hawk a mighty loogie - "opspitality... Don' s'pose ye've been down Underbridge? Why, it's the finest vittles in all Magnimar. An beyon' too, t' be sure. An' the sunset! The way it catches them bridge joists! Ah... there's beauty in this world, t' be sure..." She trails off sadly. "Anyhoo, it's many a year since me peepers done peeped that sweet home, but I promise ye'll be most welcome if'n ye kin visit me there..."
Agata does know Fairy Ring Retreat (a 7th level spell) though she hasn't currently prepped it. I'll prep it for the next day so we can use it for future resting stints.
As you pause, looking towards the lake, Flint checks out the area…while he finds no more lethal foliage, something doesn’t set right with him as he looks at weird tracks that don’t look like any kind of feet he’s ever seen…hearing some sudden rustling to his right, he sounds the alarm, ”INCOMING!”

Marta does her usual nightly castings and asks Agata if she still has a Mage armor prepared.
Before retiring for the night, Agata uses 3 level 1 pearls of power and 3 charges from a lesser rod of extend (she has 1 charge remaining and I believe that other people had at least two more) to recover her previously prepared Mage Armor and cast it on herself, Sweet Mawd, and Marta. Each casting has a duration of 34 hours, so it will last for all of the next day (for simplicity, Tuesday), and until 10 am the following day (Wednesday).

Agata changes a few of her prepared spells and casts several buffs as the group breaks camp (i.e. a couple of hours ago - GM, I've noticed that you've put us in initiative while I've been posting but I'm avoiding reading that post until I get my start of the day buffs posted.)

Buffs:
* Major Ameliorating hex on everyone in the party (she'll do this every day so I won't bother mentioning it again)

Now, in combat...
Defending Bone will not help against the rock but Agata's temp hp from False Life will absorb 17 points of the damage, leaving her with 25 hp of "real" damage.
