Me neither.

If survival's usable for this, Orr's got a +4 and Archimedes has a +8.

Malogos has a +11 to Knowledge Nature.

Is the campaign winding down or is there still space for a backup hero to enter the game?

Things have been going slow and I'm not sure if the party is going to survive this next encounter, but I don't have any problems with it. Guys?

I don't mind.

On another note I'll be out next week from Monday night-Friday morning. I won't have my computer but I'll try to post by phone.

I've got no objections to another player. Sorry about the slow posting. School and work have been really draining my spirits lately. I need to submit something to finish the former and I'm hoping I can manage by this week. Once that's done, I'll post more often.

Is any of the goop still on Archimedes' head?

Yes, Archimedes' head is still encased in goo.

Ancient History wrote:(assuming Orr blinks through the soil instead trying to fly straight through it) Orr flies up above the mushroom tops. At the entrance, he sees a large, horned green lizard with wings. It appears to be retching and trying to scrape it's tongue against a large 'shroom.
Does it look like the Basilisk Orr saw earlier?

Nope. Only four legs and it has wings, plus the horned head.

Not sure if Orr would know that fire blasting Archimedes would cure his slowness. Does Malogos know about that?

Was that fire resistance or spell resistance? In case it was the latter, minor channeling abilities are supernatural, not spell like and thus not subject to spell resistance. Also, if that was spell resistance, was Orr able to nauseate it for two rounds (it's probably been longer than that, but whether or not that worked, it should still be sickened) when he channeled water afterwards?

The half-minotaur begins fleeing away from the source of the cloud as fast as his wings can carry him, moving in a straight line. Orr turns to look at the source and sees the winged lizard-think, wisps of pinkish gas wafting from its nostrils and fang-filled mouth. Bits of glitterdust still cover its head and eyes. It barks out some sort of vocalization; Orr picks up gist of the sentiment telepathically: *Run*.
Is the lizard thing in mid air?

Also, does Malogos know anything about this creature?

Orr doesn't know, but he doesn't like it.
In case it was the latter, Elemental Siphon abilities (except Ethereal Planeshift) are supernatural, not spell like and thus not subject to spell resistance. Also, if that was spell resistance, was Orr able to nauseate it for two rounds (it's probably been longer than that, but whether or not that worked, it should still be sickened) when he channeled water afterwards?
The flying lizard looks a little nauseous, but that might just be because it was puking earlier.

No. The lizard is on the ground, immediately opposite the side of the burrow-hole where the ramp starts.
Also, does Malogos know anything about this creature?
If Malagos thinks to check, he'd say it has many of the attributes of a bronze dragon. Except for the color.

Does Gust of Wind have any effect on gaseous breath weapons?

He knows that he is now moving as fast away from the dragon as possible, and he knows that this is some outside effect. The compulsion seems to be diminishing with time and should wear off soon.

Malagos recalls the basic abilities of bronze dragons, as recorded in their entry on d20.org; the social aspects are a little hazy - the night he should have been studying for his dragons exam, he got caught up in the chapter on dracoliches.

Malagos recalls that a young or older bronze dragon can assume any animal or humanoid form of Medium size or smaller as a standard action three times per day. The dragon can remain in its animal or humanoid form until it chooses to assume a new one or return to its natural form. It was the final question on his Dragons 201 exam.
