This is obviously spoilerific.
I was sitting at a table that made it kind of hard to hear the announcers for both (siege of serpents and sky key solution) of the specials. Even with the words on the screen there were a few things I am unclear about
Did we get the sky key back? Did the meteor hit and the dome saved us or did something else happen? It was really hard to figure out what exactly saved us at the end
our group fought Arodeth and had her seriously on the ropes but then time ran out if that means anything different.

I am pretty sure what happened is that the Harbingers released their temporal hold on us and we were able to return to the present safely rather than remain in the past when the StarStone struck. Arodeth sacrificed herself to do this as someone had to remain behind to anchor the temporal anomaly. I am not positive what happened to the Sky Key after that. Our group managed to actually talk Arodeth out of changing the past rather than fighting her.

Haha, the table I was playing at went something like this
My slayer, acting first in the round: "I'll delay, see what the rest of the party wants to do, I'm fine killing her or talking to her."
2nd player to act: "Yeah, I'll delay too, I'm fine talking to her."
Goblin barbarian: "I'll hold too...(player pauses, looks thoughtful, then shakes his head) Nope, can't do it, I charge and leap over the pit. Bite attack!"

What tier did you play? My understanding is that stat blocks for the NPC only existed for tier 7-8 and 10-11. If you played a tier below those your GM may have been doing you a favor. Though if the party wanted to engage her you should have been allowed to do so (again, just my impression from talking with GMs, I have not read the adventure.).

Ahem, I had a similar experience. Just a word of experience on this subject,
I do hope she gets to meet Aroden and he honors her for her sacrifice. It's always hard to see one with so much faith become misled by interpretation of their holy books.

Amazingly, our group didn't harm any of them (one purely due to time being called and the plot advancing, still, 4/5 ain't bad). AND we had the skill monkeys in place to resolve the final comflict peacefully as well. Not 100% sure who the antagonist was or why they were motivated to act thusly, but I only get to play PFS at GenCon, so a lot of the backstory scenarios passed me by.

Trying to encourage an encounter to go in a way that would not result in the utter crushing of your players can be sometimes hard in those instances, and I sympathize if you felt railroaded. But at the same time, I'm sure your GM was simply trying to do their best to help the story go in a fun direction. As I said, thats not always easy and I know we try our best.
