Looks like that is that.

That is a lot to juggle. Hope the adjustment is not too onerous.
Hooray!
If you have any ideas on whom to recruit, let 'er rip!
Alika does her best to follow Garran and Seltyn toward the sun shaman's hut.
"You want fire? Here is Sarenrae's fire!" Alika moves through one of the patches of flames, unscathed thanks to her protective magic, and calls down a flame strike on the two foes further down the field.
(DC 21 Ref save half)
Alika steps up to aid in cutting down a Red Mantis assassin.
Alika advances toward the fray and unleashes a prayer spell to aid the Shoanti and her party companions while hindering the attackers.
Alika stumbles past her companions and slightly closer to the center of the fray and calls for everyone to gather nearby so that she can protect them from the fire.
Alika sits up in bed, clutches the bedsheet for a moment, then stumbles to her feet.
"Nothing that I recall," says Alika. "But the Sun Shaman must have a reason. The chief has heard of our deeds, the least he can do is relay to us why the Sun Shaman is so distressed. Hopefully tomorrow we'll found out our next move." "Since we can't do anything else about it right now, get some rest," she suggests.
Alika gratefully takes the opportunity to take off some of her heavy gear once the group is shown to a tent. "I'll just be glad of some food, and some sleep, and a day that does not involve wondering if my friend is going to die in the flame-suffused guts of a giant worm," she says. "Everyone be sure to drink some more water. We've been out running in the heat and there's no telling when they're going to wake us up in the morning."
Alika adds in her turn. "I am Alika, a priestess in the service of Sarenrae," she says to the chief. "It is my calling to help where I am needed."
"Are there any other topics that are taboo?"
"Agreed on all counts. Let's see if they have any other suggestions for us."
"Well, that's the question. I didn't bring anything extravagant with me, unfortunately," says Alika. "Unless we have some place where we can spend some ready coin, or someone feels like doing some hunting to bring back a pronghorn antelope for a feast, I don't have anything impressive."
"And perhaps we should try to bring gifts. That's almost always well-received."
Alika nods, apparently showing some understanding. "The sun wanes already. Best to approach them at its zenith."
Seltyn casts Wall of Force to slow the thing down while we get away, and keeps running.
Alika winces as she takes the brunt of the flames and keeps moving as best she can.
Alika manages to keep on her feet and says, "Are giant worms persistence predators? Can we outrun it if we just keep going?"
Sensing Kyras' distress, Alika casts another cure moderate wounds through her connection to him. -> Automatically empowered by domain -> 22 points healed
Alika likewise tries to stay back and waits until she needs to send more healing to their man on the inside.
Alika backs away with the team and casts a cure moderate wounds spell through the greater status effect. -> Automatically Empowered from Healing domain -> 27
Alika is scorched by Cindermaw's predictable-yet-unforeseen fire breath—it's named Cindermaw, after all—and unleashes her healing power immediately to keep the team on their toes.
No, I'm saying I get three 4th-level spells, so if I take greater magic weapon in addition to the other two, that's it. No more 4th level spells.
If you asked for it beforehand, I can have it! Note that it's 4th level, so that will wipe out my 4th level spells for that, greater status, and greater celestial healing.
Alika's buffs on Kyras: Spoiler:
Aid (2nd)
Greater celestial healing (4th) Greater status (4th) Overstimulate (2nd) Protection from energy (fire) (3rd) Resist energy (fire) (2nd)
"Ready to start laying on protective spells."
Greater status (4th level) allows me to cast up to 2nd level healing spells at range via its link without line of sight.
My computer died. I expect to be back up next week.
"We just need a day to prepare our best resources and then we have to track down Cindermaw and convince him to eat the right one of us." "Does Cindermaw have any culinary preferences? For instance, if we want to get him to eat Kyras, do we slather Kyras in bacon grease first, or...?"
Aid will give 1d8+9 temp hit points. Greater celestial healing will give fast healing 4 for four rounds, which may help with incidental healing while inside the beast (and thus extend the chance of surviving the ordeal). Overstimulate prevents unconsciousness at negative hit points for nine rounds.
I think Kyras makes some good points. If we have prep time, Alika can prepare cleric spells to help Kyras as well. Anything up to 5th level!
"Greetings, Akram. I am Alika. These are my companions Seltyn, Alistair, and Kyras," says the priestess to the new arrival just as she is taking the scrolls. "We are, indeed, on something of a quest here, and a Truthspeaker seems to be part of it. But we are also somewhat worn from our battles. Can we perhaps take some distance from this place and find a safe location where we can talk?""[/b]
"Unfortunately, I don't have the magic to repair that kind of damage," Alika says apologetically to Kyras. "I can try to help treat you so that you'll recover, but if your body can't shake the effect, I'll have to purchase some special materials to deal with the aftereffects."
"Plane shift," mutters Alika.
Veronica shifts her position to get a little close to the fray, with the intent of bringing her own scimitar into play but without taking a hit from the daemon along the way.
Alika casts shield of faith on Garran as he races by to get inside of the daemon's reach.
Alika steps a bit closer to support the team and casts sun metal on Kyras' weapon.
Alika frowns a bit at the darkness and the evil sensation. She draws her blade and casts daylight on it, which should penetrate any minor darkness magics.
