Alright... having to do it over the course of the scenario, instead of at the end, was not clear to me. It said "compose the tale along the way" but that doesn't mean "perform along the way" as far as I'm reading it. If I were at a table I would have taken notes, written a poem or something during other people's turns. Ah well.

"It was a tale to be told in stories! I shall begin writing an epic poem at once about it: The valiant sailing of the airship, only to be destroyed in a titanic convulsion of the air! The clever way the approaching wyrds were recruited into retrieving the scattered gear as a game! The discovery of the tower, and the divining of the secrets hidden therein, and finally the headlong dive into the Maelstrom Rift to defeat and send fleeing the creature of chaos at its heart!"

Yes, Ember will try saving finale again, but that doesn't seem to have worked. She will fly away from Rhyol, not wanting to get near a confused barbarian, to make sure she is not the closest thing to her, and resume the dance.

Sorry about the confusion. I thought a new round had begun. So on her turn, Ember will 5ft-flutter away from her opponent and read the scroll. Inspire courage is +2 competence bonus to attack and damage, and Good Hope is a +2 morale bonus to pretty much all d20 rolls including attacks, saves, and skill checks.
Acrobatics in case 5ft step isn't enough to get her out of AoO range:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Ember has a wand, and doesn't need any more herself, because she has fast healing on all the time unless she's taken cold damage. I was just trying to get her high enough that if another burst hit us of the same strength as before, she could survive it. It has just 13 charges left, and Zephyr has 20 according to his profile. At 5.5 average healing, we can heal approximately 180 HP.

Casting Saving Finale as Ember fails her save (nothing in the spell indicates you can't cast it on yourself) to reroll it.
Reflex:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
Of course, it doesn't help in the slightest. *sigh*
Ember screeches in pain as she gets zapped and pulls out her wand to immediately begin healing herself. "Whatever that was, don't make it happen again! We might not survive it!"

Perception:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Ember observes the Djinni and the pattern of lightning, and comes to a realization. "This is a haunt of some kind! The cyclone is powering it, sending spiritual energy off like a dynamo! Hmm... something seems unusual about this one though..." The little dragon studies the crackling patterns of electricity carefully, thinking about everything she's studied about the elemental planes, and the revelations Jamila and Zephir came to about Ranginori.
Knowledge(planes:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
"Eureka! The 'haunt' is a resonance of this good elemental lord of air, not of negative energy like most haunts. Positive energy won't affect it -- spells of alignments other than good and elements other than air will be effective! Attacks from devoted followers of other elemental lords may work as well."
The pyrausta begins a fiery dance, swirling her scarves and producing a magical aura that will heighten the effects of any fire spells or effects.
Firedancer’s Scarves This set of red, orange, and gold scarves mimics the
motion of fire. Ember may activate these scarves as a standard action
with a successful DC 12 Perform (dance) check. As long as she spends
a move action to dance each round, all fires (including all fire spells
and effects) within 30 feet of her deal 1 additional point of damage.

I am going to use the run action to chase down one of the boxes. Going to get to the yellow box first. Can I use momentum to swing it around and throw it back towards the ship while sending myself towards the next boxes? Also what kind of danger does the islands of pebbles represent?

Oh, 10 ft squares... that means Ember would be a lot further away than she currently is. I mean, I guess she could have done a Run action the previous round. Then she wouldn't have been close enough to initiate fascinate this round. Ok nevermind then. She's going to just double move to the nearest crate.
Are you not wanting to use Zephir's Skymaster ability to fly, Ilmakis, or did you forget about it?

Ember flies closer to the Wyrds, and begins singing a song in Auran. "Come and play, come and play... leave all else and play!"
Using bardic performance to Fascinate. DC 19 Will save, targeting the yellow and blue Wyrds.
Fascinate:
Fascinate (Su): At 1st level, a bard can use his performance to cause one or more creatures to become fascinated with him. Each creature to be fascinated must be within 90 feet, able to see and hear the bard, and capable of paying attention to him. The bard must also be able to see the creatures affected. The distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents this ability from working. For every three levels the bard has attained beyond 1st, he can target one additional creature with this ability.
Each creature within range receives a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the bard's level + the bard's Cha modifier) to negate the effect. If a creature's saving throw succeeds, the bard cannot attempt to fascinate that creature again for 24 hours. If its saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and observes the performance for as long as the bard continues to maintain it. While fascinated, a target takes a –4 penalty on all skill checks made as reactions, such as Perception checks. Any potential threat to the target allows the target to make a new saving throw against the effect. Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a weapon at the target, automatically breaks the effect.
Fascinate is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting ability. Fascinate relies on audible and visual components in order to function.

Ember will make a double move, right through the debris, dodging with ease. As previously noted, Ember has a +24 to fly and cannot fail a DC 20 fly check. If there's a substantial penalty that I'm not aware of, here's a roll:1d20 + 24 ⇒ (2) + 24 = 26

As the winds worsen, Ember spends most of her time clinging to any available rope or fabric, or Jamila's shoulder if she is still willing. The mantis-like dragon tells the Janni, and anyone else who will listen, stories of her childhood in the great volcano, as well as the adventures of her people as they left the collapsed crater and journeyed out into the elemental planes.
On the lifeboat, Ember looks into the guidebooks, wanting to verify their course. Knowledge(planes):1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 + 2 = 19(If Geography is appropriate instead, it's just 6+2+2 for 12.

Ember asks Jamila if she can ride on her shoulder as she travels through the docks. When she tries to negotiate passage, the pyrausta will try to help with the negotiations (or take over if the Janni is failing).

"Do you have any brimstone? Perhaps some charcoal or highly-volatile oils?" Ember asks the server.
The diminutive dragon twirls about in the air, a trail of burning sparks following her. "A pleasure to meet you all! Ember, you may call me Ember! Oh my, yes!"
