I'm not giving that sword away for some money we don't need and some nebulous goodwill.

I'm just interested in Azlanti stuff in general.

I want to keep to poke later tbh. Maybe it'll explode and give someone power?
'Learned about the nature of reality' sounds like there's a chance of deep arcane or divine lore (abilities), with a slim chance of mythic stuff; though I'd doubt it.
At the very least we'd get some spiffy worldbuilding when we get a narrative moment to poke it.

@DragonParadox before Sylestrix departs again, can we have a chance to try and trade some of her Horde? I'd have to check what we didn't buy, but I'd love to swap some gems and that sorcerer's robe for some of what she had left.
General question about Mythic: Can Mina use her Wild Arcana ability (one Mythic Power point) to cast Mythic Heroism (a second Mythic Power point), or does she need to have regular Heroism prepared and available to be able to cast it as Mythic Heroism?
I ask because if she can cast Mythic Heroism right now, I'd like to have a diplo-buffed Sirim ask Sylestrix if we can do a fully buffed investigation on that Mind Core (presumably offering to share what we learn with her).
If she does agree it would have to be after our next long rest however, since we the tea we need to use to be able to reroll that check needs to be drank before sleeping.
- Sure, you can try to offer her money (she is not interested in Ogre leavings, not even the sword)
- Not saying anything that says the abilities cannot combine, so yeah you should be able to do that if you are willing to blow two surges

Sylestrix is a Dragon. She's smart and knowledgeable, and probably has Detect Magic as a spell and Spellcraft as a skill, so it would be suspicious if Sirim suddenly lights up with new auras after Mina casts a powerful spell or two, then starts trying to wheedle access to the treasure she guards most closely.I want to keep to poke later tbh.

That's a fair point. I would like to add that DP has stated that Hexes are subtle. Fortune is especially difficult to notice. I think that I'd be ok risking an otherwise unbuffed diplo check.

I'm assuming that we brought her horde with us, since otherwise it would have been left unguarded?

[X] Plan: Before she escapes with her loot!
-[X] Ask Sylestrix if she would be willing to exchange some more of her horde for items of equivalent value.
--[X] Trade to be finalised with playerbase/depends on what she's offering, but I want that Prism, at least one set of Cords, and maybe a Djezet-Skin for the diplo boost on Mina. We can offer gems and the sorcerer's robe we took from the fey lord.
-[X] Ask Sylestrix if she would be willing to allow us to do a fully-buffed investigation of the Mind-Core, and we shall share all we learn of it with her in return - mention that the tea we need to use requires a long rest before re-attempting the check. Mina uses her Fortune Hex on Sirim for this request.
-[X] Before Sirim tries to persuade Sylestrix about the Mind-Core, Pepper changes his Racial Bonus (Full round action) to Diplomacy, for a total of +8 -2 (cha) = +6 and attempts to Aid Another Sirim (DC 15) (But only if Pepper has not already changed his bonus today)
-[X] Also let her know that a tribe of Kobolds are looking to meet her, a survivor of a scouting band killed by these ogres is at the caravan and it was he who warned us of these foes, and we told him we'd let her know about the tribe. (This is not to try and convince her of anything in particular, just something that she might like to know - though it is worded to paint the kobolods in a good light.)
Edit: @DragonParadox regarding the Vial of Efficacious Medicine, would the bouns to alchemical skill checks apply to the tea we need to use to attempt the Mind Core investigation? I don't know if it counts as a 'remedy'.

Can't think of what else we'd need, but I do want to try our hand at the core.
...shouldn't she already know what it is?

You would have to ask her. After the battle Kori estimates it's a lot less likely she would be offended even if she ends up saying no. This is all assuming she knows herself, she is quite young and may have just been told to fetch the thing back without being told why.

I'm hoping that she doesn't know, and her curiosity will match
Also, @ thread: just for for funsies. Kori has to be careful about saying honest nice things to people, 'cuz curse.
But doing nice things is safe. And he just got access to (limited) phenomenal cosmic power.
If we do swing by Sylestrix's tower, what do ya'll think about Kori and Sirim using their Mythic Power to cast the following spells to do some minor repairs? (Buffed and/or Fortune) Cob can direct with his Engineering skill (Sirim using an adjustable illusion to display an image of the design, so Kori can see what Cob has in mind?)
:Sirim generates fresh stone for Kori to shape, 180 cubic feet of it (at CL 6 to 8) (as a conjuration spell, a casting will cost two Mythic Power points).

It's honestly pretty wild that she is willing to trade her hoard out like this period.
On the other hand we have been on her side for newrly every fight she got into since coming to Golarion.
I also hope if she doesn't level up she is at least well compensated for her efforts.
And rough start or not I do like her.

Who wouldn't think "home repair" first thing when being gifted with mystic powers?

If I could pick a superpower IRL, it'd be Telekinesis; for getting things from high up shelves.
A super power that would just let me do common home-repair stuff well sounds really appealing. I guess I could also practice, but I would prefer the super power.

Adding this into my plan:
Before Sirim tries to persuade Sylestrix about the Mind-Core, Pepper changes his Racial Bonus (Full round action) to Diplomacy, for a total of +8 -2 (cha) = +6 and attempts to Aid Another, Sirim (DC 15)
I don't think that Pepper changed his skill today? If he did then I'll remove the Aid Another attempt

Edit: I'm having so much fun thinking of how to use (up to five) castings of any level 3 witch/wizard/oracle spell to bypass physical obstacles.
Mostly by using Cob-directed Stone Shape to build past them.
Is there a ravine or river? Build a bridge (Buffed Engineering checks are used to ensure it can support the weight/is safe).
Is the gap too large for 90 cubic foot of stone (or is stone too weak)? Does the caravan need to go up a short but very steep hill or even a full cliff-face?
Enter The Toad.
Warty, bringer of joy and wonder, has the slime ability.
With that and some ropes, a well shaped and strong stone platform/crate can be placed on his back and Mina can Wild Arcana Fly onto him, for 8 minutes a pop.
He can ferry whole groups of people and animals and adamantine eggs at once, provided the stone crate is shaped to be fully in contact with his back.
So lets talk carry weight:
Warty is a Large Magical Beast; Quadruped with a strength of 20. According to d20pfsrd, that put his carrying capacity at:
Light: 133 or less. Medium is 134-266. Heavy is 267-400.
Large Quadruped triples those to:
399, 400-798, 801-1200.
-----
Now I couldn't find any way to make Warty bigger - except for a specific magic collar, but we can still add magic:
Muleback Cords (+8 to Str for Carrying Capacity purposes) is based on the Bulls Strength Spell, and brings Warty to an effective Str 28. And that's then tripled for a Large Quadraped:
3600, 3603-7200, 7203-10800.
And then we cast Aunt Haul: The target's carrying capacity triples:
Light Load: 10800 lbs, or less
Medium Load: 10809 lbs - 21600 lbs
Heavy Load: 21609 lbs to 32400 lbs.
I dunno if he needs to make flight checks to move up and down with the fly spell, but I'll hand wave that away with "apply many buffs to fly skill"
----
32400 lbs is just over 14695 kg.

The fly spell does need checks from what I recall, though of course you can make them untrained.

Looking at the Fly skill page, assuming Warty was to try and fly from the bottom of a cliff to the top, he could avoid the need to make checks:
Let's assume there isn't a strong wind, then this reads to me that Warty can just slowly spiral upwards and land at the top of the cliff for people to exit and unload the crate?
Yeah, that would work.

If crossbow bolts count as metal:
And we know we're up against (shadow) demons ahead of time:
Give (invisible) Mina the Cloak of The Hedge Mage.
She uses True Strike on herself.
She shoots at the demon with a crossbow.
----
Assuming the demon does not teleport away, but instead uses Deeper Darkness, Sirim or Kori use the Daylight spell via Mythic Power before Mina's next turn.
She uses this Hex on the demon.
Abeyance (Blood Hex)
You can disrupt your opponent's connection to its own magical power.
Prerequisite(s): Int 13, Spellcraft 5 ranks, Use Magic Device 1 rank.
Benefit(s): As a standard action, you can drain the innate magical ability of a creature you've dealt damage to with a metal weapon since the beginning of your last turn. That creature must succeed at a Will save or be unable to access any spell-like abilities it can use more than once per day, until it is healed of all hit point damage, or up to a maximum duration of 1 minute.
Special: If a shaman or witch uses this blood hex, the target is unable to use any of its spell-like abilities for the hex's duration
----
Fun fact: With her Mythic ability, there is no roll for the first turn of the Hex. The save attemp happens at the start of Mina's next turn.
That means that if the Demon is still alive after a few hits, before Mina's turn comes round again, someone should use Shadow Enchantment to cast Ill Omen on the demon, so it is more likely to fail its save.
----
That or hit it with slumber?
