Thanks for the responses Caineach and Tem. The players felt like there should have been some save to end the effect. We've even gone so far as to look up the original source of the creature to see if there was some shred of hope there, but alas no. Personally I'm able to handle the situation as "that's the way the cookie crumbles."

If they were all in range of her effect, yes.

=( Sad face. This is why we felt the encounter was a TPK. If she could keep them dazed while picking off the others individually we could not defeat her. Even though the cavalier made his save she probably would have killed him if he hadn't gone to pick flowers.

For instance where were the other two fey?

The assasin vine and the grey guy were eating our cleric. We had uncharacteristically dealt fairly well with Rigg (Is that the right name for the quickling?). When we encountered The Lady she was alone.

An additional question I have is that should she have been able to attack the cavalier and keep the others dazed at the same time.

We were greeted by the Dancing Lady upon entering her room at the top of the central tower. After a couple sentences of conversation, and none of us noticing anything strange about the female elf standing before us, she started to dance...

lvl 5 cavalier (made save)
lvl 5 oracle (failed save)
lvl 5 rogue (failed save)
lvl 5 ninja (failed save)

The cavalier noticed something was amiss (don't ask me what LOL) when the lady tried to dance with the oracle so he stepped in and was attacked by the lady.

the lady continued to dance and the 3 party members stayed dazed.
the lady continued to attack the cavalier with her bit and claws and almost killed him until suggesting (spell-like ability) he go pick some flowers.. having failed his will save he headed downstairs to do.

as it was played the remaining party members were unable to break their trance

Basically the players got frustrated because it seemed like a save or die situation. I would like some opinions on how the Lady's abilities were played out. I was one of the players and I'm trying to be objective but... I'll be watching the post to answer any questions if they are needed to clarify the situation. Ultimately this was considered a TPK by the players and the dm.

The wolf is fine for now, and i don't want to be accused of power gaming, but the rules aren't really clear about what to do if you want a mount with a higher starting CR. Any help would be hot.

I'm getting ready to play my first Pathfinder campaign and I ended up needing to fill the fighter role. I prefer odd or outlandish characters so I chose a dwarven cavalier that rides a giant frilled lizard (from the bestiary). Fortunately my GM allowed me to use an unusual mount and due to the higher CR the mount slowly gains it's abilities as I level.

I would like it if Paizo had an official way to choose a mount other than a horse for RP reasons.
