Rina level up is the simplest, so let's just roll with that first.

Rina reaches level 8.

- Half-Fire Elemental 3 and Scout 8. This pays off her level debt for her template.
- 5 on a d8 for a total of 11 hit points and a grand total of 96 hit points.
- +1 BAB for a total of +8.
- Gains camouflage. It's okay.
- SLAs DCs rise by 1.
- No change to saves.
- Skills up as normal.
- A bonus feat from scout, which isn't great due to the selection. She'll take Skill Focus (Stealth) to fit in with Darkstalker.

More interesting things next level, when she's finally free of the half elemental hit dice.

[Anastasia]

Quick update since I forgot, Rina also puts her stat point into Dex.

[Anastasia]

Anne reaches level 8.

- Lifespark 3 and Half-Air Elemental 2.
- 5 on a d8 for a total of 10 hit points and a grand total of 93 hit points.
- +1 BAB for a total of +8.
- Channel energy DC improves by 1.
- +10ft bonus to turning radius.
- DC of SLAs improves by 1.
- Gains 7th level cleric spellcasting. She gets 1 1st level spell and 2+1 4th level spells. The first level is another divine favor that probably ends up converted to CLW. The 4th level spells are Panacea, Cure Critical Wounds and Good Hope for her domain spell.
- +1 all saves.
- +1 Strength for a total of 18.
- Skills go up as normal.

Honestly she might diversify her spells later, but that's fine for now.

[Anastasia]

Sanda reaches level 8.

- Frost Mage 3 and Half-Water Elemental 2.
- 6 on a d8 for a total of 12 hit points and a grand total of 86 hit points. With her bracers, anyway.
- +1 BAB for a total of +8.
- Gains conjure ice beast 1 as a free spell.
- Gains 8th level wizard casting. This is a new 3rd and 4th level spell slot. Sanda selects Greater Mage Armor and Orb Of Cold.
- DC of SLAs improves by 1.
- +1 all saves.
- +1 Constitution for a total of 22. This increases her maximum hit points to 94.
- Skills go up as normal.

A better ranged attack than magic missiles is due.

[Corwin]

Let's take the Travel Devotion feat instead of Cunning Surge.

[Corwin]

Also, some unarmed damage adjustment.

The Cunning Ascetic feat means my monk level is actually 8 and not 6 for the purpose of checking for damage, and the monk's belt++ boosts that by 5 more. So monk level 13, damage of 2d6. The Improved Natural Attack/Unarmed Strike feat increases the 2d6 dice by one category to 3d6. The Scorpion Kama means that its damage matches the unarmed damage (+1 from being a magical kama +1).

Previous:
Full Attack (Flurry/Unarmed 1d8monk->1d10belt->2d8INA): +11/+11/+6, 2d8+4/2d8+4/2d8+4 +1d8 bracers
Full Attack (Flurry/Scorpion Kama +1): +12/+12/+7, 2d8+5/2d8+5/2d8+5 +1d8 bracers

Current:
Full Attack (Flurry/Unarmed 1d10monk->2d6belt->3d6INA): +11/+11/+6, 3d6+4/3d6+4/3d6+4 +1d8 bracers
Full Attack (Flurry/Scorpion Kama +1): +12/+12/+7, 3d6+5/3d6+5/3d6+5 +1d8 bracers

Each of you gains the following special quality.

Mining Experience (Ex)

You have memories of mining for days and days and days, knowing what you're doing in both that and the refinement of what you dug out of the mine. You gain a +2 bonus to any skill checks related to mining or refining precious materials, such as Profession (Miner) or Craft (Gemcutting).

[Anastasia]

Devar gains the following special quality.

Brewing Experience (Ex)

You have memories of brewing for days and days, learning what you're doing and how to make good booze. You gain a +2 bonus to any skill checks related to brewing alcohol, such as Profession (Brewer).

[Anastasia]

Loot is updated.

[Nephrite]

Since it may matter, here are all the spells that protect against ability damage:

Body Ward - Cleric 2/Druid 2 1/m level - absorbs the next 5 points of damage dealt to that ability score, regardless of its source.
Sheltered Vitality - Cleric 4/Druid 4. (it got revised in SpC) 1/m level - complete protection from ability damage/drain

There are a few others (xxx body) but those are all super high level and only affect you, so not helpful, and Shapechange is level 9 so that's totally out.

Soulfire armor also doesn't mention ability drain or damage, so I assume it does not work.

I think that's everything remotely reasonable for us at present.

I guess we could go ask and see if we could have our artifact friend make us elementals for a day or two.

[Anastasia]

The main issue there is that Anne has limited spell slots. That means otherwise you're at the mercy of scrolls and items to cast those.

Could you look up ways to help provide air in a bubble or remove the need to breathe? That's another concern if you all end up taking a tilt at whatever's up there. Bonus points if it's something Sanda can cover and take the casting load off of Anne, who is already strained for spell slots.

[Nephrite]

There would indeed be a great deal of relying on the kindness of Dareslanians for this. Or our elemental friend if they're awake.

As for breathable air, there's a few -

Pathfinder has Air Bubble, a 1st level spell, Clr/Sorc/wiz can all do it, along with a handful of others.

Apparently Spelljammer has 'Create Air,' which works more or less like Create Water did, though it's only available to Cleric/Druid/Paladin/Ranger.

https://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wondrousItems.htm Necklace of Adaptation is probably 'the solution,' but obviously it depends on its availability.

In theory, if we all turned into fully fledged elementals then we wouldn't need to breathe at all which also bypasses that particular problem! Though I guess we still couldn't cast spells.

[Nephrite]

Just throwing up some other helpful spells.

Celestial Brilliance is Clr4//Sor/Wiz 4 - Sanda could get it and so could Devar. It's a multitasker but might be helpful.

Maybe Light of Wisdom in a pinch, it's Clr 3 and adds 1 to effective level of turning per 3 caster levels... eh, that'd add 2 levels to Anne? I mean it's fine, but I think we could do better for a 3rd level slot. But I guess if she channeled energy a lot... maybe?

Wall of Fire (Sor/wiz 4) deals double damage to undead, and we could probably just make a big circle around us with if need be.
