I'd like to thank you both for replying to a thread on such an old (and yet really amazing) AP. Considering both your opinions has eased my trepidations about the encounter. I'm now viewing it as a "are you prepared" check. If they can't find a way to deal with him then they're probably not playing to the best of their ability.

Umm...you do realize that Matajinn's Scorching Ray is maximized don't you? No need to roll for dammage, just declare to poor mage as dead.

(For reason as to why, please see page 10 of the AP)

hardness only applies to sunder attacks and stone skin only applies to attacks against you, they never interact

Ok. Thanks. That makes more sense.

if the PC is knocked prone can she start to fly without standing up and thus avoid an attack of opportunity?

Cue the superman music and go. They could probably withdraw, or just leave normally and take the AoO

So here is a related question. If someone is is adjacent to you and is flying, can you use a bull rush or a grapple to pull them down to the ground? Yes, they will still be flying, just more on your plane. Or if they fly straight up, use a AOO to grab them and pull them back down before they get away?

I had a disagreement with my GM last night and thought I would run it by the smarter-than-me people here.

Mithril Chain gives Hardness 15 and Stoneskin gives DR 10/Adamantine. My argument is that the chain would reduce the first 15 points of weapon damage before any remaining damage would be applied to the stoneskin. My GM argues that Stoneskin trumps the chain.

Who is right?
