Acid and rad both seem in favor of attacking the water creature. I'm indifferent.
Now the water creature is an interesting opponent. It looks strong enough that it could possibly shred Archie in melee, and it almost certainly has enough HD that color spray will only take it out for 1 round. It's in water so grease is of no use.
I could grease the mossy skull face guys. It'd make it harder for them to leave the wall of smoke. Or I could color spray them. But anyone in the party could crowd control them while I'm probably the best at meleeing that big thing.
I might be able to pounce-stunlock it (it'll probably fail one of the 6 DC 16 Fort saves) from above while avoiding entering the wall of smoke (because of my reach). I think I'll go with that (delay until wall of smoke is cast then activate my fighting style and pounce).
So it looks like our plan is:
Orr sickens the water creature
Dragaan casts wall of smoke on the creature and some of the mossy guys
Vian ego whips water creature
I fighting-style-pounce it, using my reach to avoid entering the wall (I assume Acid will place it in a manner that I could attack it without risking getting in the smoke myself)
Sound good?

Okay, so that happened. I was considering going with this post:
but figured I'd check with everyone else first, in case you want to attack them anyway, or want to try something else.
To everyone, "Oh... uh, sorry about that. We're strangers to this land and were just attacked by some trees here, so we're a bit on edge. We mean no harm to anyone who doesn't mean to harm us. We sincerely apologize for the interruption. Please, ignore us and carry on."
To the creature: "Sorry about the discomfort. It'll wear off as soon as you calm down." (duration is 'for the combat')
To the green figure, "Yeah, I can hear you. This is consensual on your part right? I thought you might have been being offered as a meal or something."

Only one save per creature after applying Comprehensive Tome Errata:Darth Rabbitt wrote:I might be able to pounce-stunlock it (it'll probably fail one of the 6 DC 16 Fort saves)
"While Active, your Fighting Style forces any opponent struck by your slam attack to make a Fortitude Save (DC 10 + ½ your character level + your Wisdom Modifier) or become stunned for one round. This occurs after each attack, before the next one, and only one save is forced per creature."

Honestly. I have no idea what to do here.
Edit: Honestly, if we do not have healing I would rather that Vian sits this one out. If possible he will row back to the ship.

You guys want me to scout out the direction that the creature said the healing spring was in? I can probably fly faster than most of the party can move. That being said, splitting up the party is a questionable decision at the best of times.

Could we have retroactively brought the unconscious (probably knocked out with non lethal damage afterwards) rat with us? If we did, we probably should've asked the hierophant about it, but eh, she seemed to be in a hurry anyway. I don't have any particular plan in mind, but just so we might be able to ask someone else about it later on, or need to test something out with a live subject.

From a color spray? Intriguing. Or did it die the moment the trees disappeared? Well, no harm in carrying around the corpse if there still is one, I think. Not going to throw it into what could be the healing spring, as that might corrupt the spring or maybe just piss off the scaly ones and/or the bone mother, but no harm in carrying it around I suppose.
