Craft (clothing)!! Really ?!? Are you just messing with me?
Majet starts pulling out lengths of fabric as she approaches, "Well whatever the outcome, it would do us well to look our best. Grand march of the conquerer, last appearance at your funeral, welcome presentation of a negotiated peace, a bit of sprucing up would help any of us. Let me start with you ..."
Craft Clothing:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Majet watches closely for the flash in the eyes that indicates she just found the exact right fabric.

Majet approaches Omandi, "Woman, who were you calling out to and what did you expect to happen?" The gnome is genuinely curious and also hoping there may be useful information to be obtained.

Majet looks forlornly between skeletons and her elegant rapier and thinks, "I knew I should have picked up a club earlier, too late now." She then wades into the fray taking up a flanking position with Jaakko.

'I am so glad to have you with us, Ilarien. It is good to have someone who can more reliably use those things." Majet comments as she thanks Ilarien for her care.

Majet is losing her patience with the woman and on remembering Shahan's connection with the Harbingers of Fate what little empathy she had evaporates.
"I am not mistaken! I know you to be active in Absalom and not a Pathfinder. You must have pursued your connection with those who have caused these current circumstances. If you wish to avoid your doom you should stand down now and tell us what you know of the rituals in play." Majet stamps her foot and tries to hide the wince the action elicits. Her bloodied weapon still in her hand, she glares at the other woman.

Pulling out and drinking one of the potions of cure moderate wounds, Majet walks toward the woman, looking at her curiously.
"My dear lady, don't I recognize you from Absalom? How came you to be here? My elven friend here made no mention of being related, are you adopted? Most strange."
Is there any roll involved at this point?
CMW:2d8 + 3 ⇒ (1, 5) + 3 = 9
Majet looks at her companions and gestures, "We should see to Shaine immediately."

"I am very sorry this is happening to you." Majet addresses the dinosaur as she deftly steps by him, hoping to move toward flanking. "Still, I can not let you rampage through the town."

Not entirely sure what is possible/plausible so I will provide some options.
If Majet thinks these are normal animals transported and therefore confused and defensive she will cast Speak with Animals and try to soothe it.

If Majet's quick assessment is there is no way to work with this new arrival then she will try to defend the townsfolk and her fellow Pathfinders by moving in a straight line (on the diagonal 20 feet) to be in reach to attack.

Majet uses her small size to dart into corners and unlikely places, plus her acrobatics to climb carefully to rooftops or other vantage points as she searches carefully for any signs that could lead them in the right direction.
Perception:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
While doing so, she casually pulls out the odd piece of fabric to gift to a local when it seems appropriate, hoping to continue to win friends and encourage them to assist the Pathfinders.

"I can't understand what they are saying but expressions and actions speak loudly enough. They look unhappy to see us. Unless someone has a way to communicate, it may be best if we hotfoot it out of here."

Majet, while interested in learning more of the local serpentine folk realises she has no suitable skills so heaves a sigh and begins the climb to assist with the captive.
She eventually arrives, slightly out of breath and an elegant shade of deep pink to catch him addressing her fellow Pathfinders in Draconic.
Draconic:
"Greetings indeed! I am glad we were able to abort whatever plans that vicious reptile had in mind. As my friend here indicated, we met another who asked us to look out for you and was off to fee more of the slaves. This really does not seem like a very friendly place.
"Not all of my team share our language skills but I would be happy to act as interpreter if you wish to convey anything to them, or they to you.
"We are here on what was to be a peaceful mission to learn and gather information but find ourselves frequently in conflict with those who would suppress others and treat them so badly.
"Now, other than patching you up a bit, how may we be of assistance?"
Diplomacy:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Majet then turns to her teammates and asks, "Anyone want to say anything to this fine gentleman? I'll do my best to interpret for you."

Majet steps forward toward the serpent and concentrates on finding just the right spot to insert her blade between scales.

Anyone who knows the gnome would recognize the calculating look on her face as she looks for a way to move into flanking to support her fellow Pathfinders.

As she looks at the way up to the captured human, Majet realises her error. Her short legs will take too long to carry her up the spiralling stairs to reach him. Instead, she moves to support her friend, AMT, in their efforts against the mean snake creature.

Majet pulls herself together and stumbles forward toward the man on the altar with the intent to save him.
"Oh, get over yourself. What the gods do in their petty games is between them. None of us is in their league, and none of them receives much of my attention either."

Majet, having returned to her normal size, decides to leave the research to others this time and positions herself carefully to take regular shots at any menacing serpent folk while trying to remain undetected by them.

OK, I will need some further education as the senior players around me previously had advised this particular combination and there is no other way that tiny can hit anything.
If I am not following the rules I definitely want to learn and correct my actions.

Majet quickly advances right underfoot of the mean, nasty idol. The foe whose space Majet shares takes a -4 penalty on all attack rolls and combat manoeuvre checks not made against the mouser, and all of Majet's allies that are adjacent to both her and the foe are considered to be flanking the foe. Majet is considered to be flanking this foe if she is adjacent to an ally who is also adjacent to the foe.
If the foe attempts to move to a position where Majet is no longer in its space, the movement provokes an attack of opportunity from Majet.
She then proceeds to harry it with her rapier.

Majet reaches into her Handy Haversack, pulls out a sparkling potion swigging it down in one big gulp before the magic begins to take effect. Once it does, she rapidly reduces her already small size, replacing it with a look of powerful determination.

Majet would definitely have asked for assistance applying her wand of CLW before heading out again and looked to make sure the party was fit enough to proceed.
Also, how many rounds out of combat were we?
Majet hesitates a moment waiting to see the reaction of her companions and hoping someone will shout some clear instructions.
Also, I believe we have an Aid token we should use or boost and pass ASAP.

Majet translates the woman's words for those who need it adding in an aside to Jaakko, "Why do you get all the credit? Not that you don't deserve some of it."
Turning back to Uszanriar she asks in Draconic, "You want us to hunt for and rescue your leader, this Krahnaliara person, while you continue to free the slaves. Can you tell us anything more about them? Do you know where he may have been taken?"
Majet wanders closer to Fate while waiting for a response. "Good work with the healing. It is definitely an efficient way to gain allies. Feel free to make use of my wand for some of them to preserve your own resources."

Majet crawls out from behind her latest kill, still cleaning her rapier and inspecting it for nicks or other damage.
Draconic:
"A slave revolt? Just the thing! We'd like to help! I'm Majet, these friends and I are Pathfinders and would like nothing better than to rescue slaves. We are on a tight schedule though, so the philosophical questions of where we are from may have to wait. We could probably give you our home cities though if you want quick and inadequate answers."
Diplomacy:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
"Oh, and might we have some reciprocal introductions, but again, as we make our way to freeing the slaves, good causes, time restrictions, and all that."
"...ah, sorry ..." Majet then goes on to repeat the last in Draconic hoping to win them over and actually go do something useful.

Majet greatly wishes she had not opened her mouth to address the reptilians and now quickly shuts it to prevent the rising bile from exiting.
Arrgh! Their stench alone is torture!
Majet reluctantly moves closer to the reptilian nearest her, grateful that they seem to have taken a full-on assault from the spectacular light display she enjoyed a moment before.
