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.

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.

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.

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.
