@DM Carbide - The last line of the spell says "Any creature covered by the dust takes a -40 on Stealth checks." This is as clear and as RAW as you can find in this game. It is a magical effect which makes sneaking around (under any circumstances) nearly impossible. :)
As the tide of battle swings firmly against him, Charvion’s power continues to fade. His strikes seem suddenly less potent, a growing desperation apparent on his many faces!

Sorry for the delay; I had some work stuff to deal with, and then had to clean the house before my offspring and offspring-in-law arrive later this week. You'd think they would've planned their anniversary to avoid the GameDay, but nooooo.
Round 2 (ongoing):
Shaggy quickly notices that there's no scent trail around the pit. Ibaz doesn't see anything in the driving sleet, but during a split-second pause in the rushing wind hears something almost directly above him when he's next to the pit. It sounds rather like someone drinking something.

Khellek continues to offer advice to the group.
"A hidden enemy is a scared enemy... which is a dangerous enemy. But he is likely more scared of us than we are of him."
Maintains IC
He keeps Bessie readied incase there is a break in the sleet.

Lite-Brite zips forward and gives Khellek a bump.
"Noice ta meetcha, Khellek." Temp hp Khellek:1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 6 rounds of Lite-Brite remaining.
As bella takes in the sight of the great sleet storm around her, a familiar voice, deep and gravelly, suddenly speaks over her shoulder from behind.
"Looks like you could use a bit o' help, little lady."
Bella spins around and flashes a big smile at the hulking male and female orc twins with Liberty's Edge symbols emblazoned on the breast of their armor.
"Riff!!! Raff!!! So great to see you! What're you doing here?" she inquires, a bit puzzled. Bella quickly introduces her teammates to the orc twins.
"Our team gots kil'd." Riff replies with a toothy frown, a broken tusk propping up his upper lip awkwardly.
"So we're here to help, Bella." Raff says, holding her warhammer with the shaft resting on her shoulder. "Let's git ’im!” Raff shouts without further ado.
The two orcs heft their warhammers and move carefully across the hail-covered floor towards Charvion.
Acrobatics Riff:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13 Acrobatics Raff:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Riff is able to move forward, however, Raff slips on the hail, but luckily catches her balance to prevent falling.
"Oooh. Careful, Raff.
Bella stays put, giving her two orc friends pats on their backs as they move forward.
"Thank you for coming to our aid, friends!"
Added orc warrior icons to map. Riff (blue), Raff (pink).
Lite-Brite has truespeech, so it understands Bella (and everyone & everything else, for that matter). It pulsates in greens and blues when speaking. Once summoned by Bella, she usually casts sanctuary upon it if possible. Lite-Brite will then fly around with its 60' perfect maneuverability and cast aid, at-will, on allies to grant 1d8+3 temporary hit points. He can also shoot 2 light rays (+3 ranged touch, 1d6 damage, bypasses all DR) with a 30 foot range.
Aura of Menace (Su): A righteous aura surrounds archons that fight or get angry. Any hostile creature within a 20-foot radius of an archon must succeed on a Will save (DC 13) to resist its effects. The save DC varies with the type of archon, is Charisma-based, and includes a +2 racial bonus. Those who fail take a –2 penalty on attacks, AC, and saves for 24 hours or until they successfully hit the archon that generated the aura. A creature that has resisted or broken the effect cannot be affected again by the same archon's aura for 24 hours.

Sylvester speaks with his dog seeing if he has detected their hidden opponent. Assuming that there is no target Sylvester will strike a defensive posture (Total Defence).

"He is shielding himself. I recommend against an assault with magical missiles." calls out the elderly scholar.
In a mighty burst of light, all remaining copies of the Pathfinder Charvion Eater-of-Bones merge back into one form. Charvion, his mouth open and his eyes wide, shrieks in horror as his recombined form is sucked back through the door into the room with the Cage of Soul Echoes, which suddenly hums with a ground-shaking energy. You see Charvion, caught for one moment on the edge of the light’s eclipse, his hands wrapped around the cage itself, mouth the words, ”Help me!” before a second burst of light envelopes his body, pulling the Pathfinder out of existence. As suddenly as it began, the room goes dark and silent, and Charvion is no more.
Studying the Cage of Soul Echoes in the aftermath of the attack, Pathfinder scholars surmise that when he was sucked through the device Charvion was torn to a million pieces, his soul shattered and forever unrecoverable. Because of his foolish errand, however, the Pathfinder Society knows finally, unequivocally, that the Shadow Lodge is real and the entire Society is in danger...

"The advantage of staunch allies!" agrees the scholar, whose voice seems to have aged and be taking on the raspy tone of a profession who has had a rumbustious class of first years to talk over for far too long.
"I believe that perhaps we have earned something to ease our parched throats. And on the way out, I have a very interesting statue to show you..."
Good game all. Glad some of the other tables were able to make better progress on that final fight than us!
Also a reminder for our wonderful GM. Khellek is slow advancement.
Something about his age I suspect.
