"Andrea, would you care for a lift? Euphemia asks, activating her prehensile hair and wrapping it around her friend.
Though she appears absolutely terrified judging by the nostril flaring.
Map update after Phem's movement
I'll take Eccardian's action in a a little bit, then reveal Daniel's detect evil results.
RD2: The paladin activates DETECT EVIL and scans the room, if nothing registers he will fly to A15 to look around the corner.

RD 2: Eccarrdian
A voice echos from the side tunnel, "Ahh, I'm told that your noble friend is nearly dead already Sir Valiant. Soon your rear will be further pressed and your physical make-up will waste away as you watch."
Daniel the results of your detect evil is the entire room resonates evil but you sense no physical body in the room. This would confirm that the voice appears to be coming from the south hallway...unless there is some illusion occurring. You did pass a secondary tunnel in your chase. (-A,10)
From A, 15 Daniel doesn't see much around that corner with his LOS. Gerard notices the spikes ended, so he drops down and tumbles to avoid the spike edge, and takes up a position. He sees a little bit further than where Daniel's POV.
"If what he Eccarrdian says is true Aurelio is near death and our enemy is laying in wait. The perfect trap, I have a feeling we are the hunted." The rogue gloomily responds.

Plus Grab
The first attack hits for 27 points of damage and barely misses the grab which would have caused impaling damage.
the second attack hits for 29 HP of damage and misses the grab.
Daniel's eyes widen in surprise.
Aurelio? He was behind you, what happened Andrea?
He was! He must have run off!
RD 3: Initiative order: Update
Mel - hit Aurelio

Aurelio you see Chard and another hellknight fighting their way towards you.
Aurelio will shout that the devil is best engaged at long range and try to retreat to C5. He'll retrieve several Cure Serious Wounds potions from his handy haversack and drink the first as soon as possible.
Chard and his hellknight companion stop long enough to pull up light crossbows and release a distracting volley at the devil. The distraction provides enough time to let the noble fighter get out of direct harms way.
Euphemia narrows her eyes.
"Where do you want down, Andrea?"
Daniel! What do you want to do? My mealticket Aurelio is in danger!
Regroup. Let's finish this together!
Euphemia, we'll fly back to the entrance. Daniel, grab Gerard and head back with his.
Euphemia moves to whence Andrea motions.
Euphemia and Andrea fly outside to see where Daniel is located. When you get there you observe the fighter who is bleeding freely form many wicked wounds. He seems have withdrawn. There is creature, who you suspect is Mel, that is covered from tip of its lashing tail to the serrated features of its fang-filled visage, this fiery-eyed sentinel bristles with barbs.
RD 3: Eccarrdian
Greater invisibility:
Suddenly Gerard is attacked by a single blow:
He is using one of the three uses of the puncturing feature that makes it a TA.
; ; plus 5 bleed
Confirming Crit:
;
Daniel you hear Gerard grunt in pain, and as you peer around the corner you notice an area of in front of Gerard that contains an overwhelming aura of evil. (He is not twice your HD so you are not stunned) The creature is invisible.
For every 2 points of damage you take to a single ability, apply a –1 penalty to skills and statistics listed with the relevant ability. If the amount of ability damage you have taken equals or exceeds your ability score, you immediately fall unconscious until the damage is less than your ability score. The only exception to this is your Constitution score. If the damage to your Constitution is equal to or greater than your Constitution score, you die. Unless otherwise noted, damage to your ability scores is healed at the rate of 1 per day to each ability score that has been damaged. Ability damage can be healed through the use of spells, such as lesser restoration.
Constitution: Damage to your Constitution score causes you to take penalties on your Fortitude saving throws. In addition, multiply your total Hit Dice by this penalty and subtract that amount from your current and total hit points. Lost hit points are restored when the damage to your Constitution is healed. A character with a Constitution score of 0 is dead.

Andrea looks at the devil and wracks her brain about anything such as weaknesses
Her mind seems to be on other matters and instead heals Aurelio with her wand

Andrea - CSW on Aurelio 27 HP
That is a powerful barbed devil! It can injure those who strike it in melee from it's sharp barbs.Aurelio, did you try attacking it? It can resist spells and It could have come through the Well of Worlds and can summon other's of it's kind. Let us retreat back to Daniel.
With his main Objective to save Westcrown in front of him, Daniel had to act. Withdrawing now would invite more harm on Gerard. Daniel needed to Kill eccardian
His target appeared to be flying like Daniel so tripping was not an option. He needed to die. He uses his POWERFUL JUSTICE as a Free Action to grant both himself and Gerard smite damage and a Swift Action to learn IMPROVED DISARM. Eccardian would not be as dangerous without that sword!
The first attack misses his CMD. The second attack hs the weapon slip from his hand but the weapon cord around his wrist keeps it from fall far.
So the weapon is dangling with a cord.
RD 3 : DMPC Gerard
Before Daniel steps up to try his disarm Gerard tumbles to get behind Eccarrdian. He takes 5 bleed damage from his wound.
He fails to get through Eccardian's square.
Gerard provokes an Aoo from Eccardian activating the puncturing feature
; ; plus 5 bleed
Gerard slumps to the ground motionless.

The circle around Gerard shows he is incapacitated, Daniel is basically hovering over top Gerard but this is a tight area. I should have had you squeeze last round.
RD 4: Mel
Mel is annoyed with the crossbolts flying in his general direction from the hellknights, so he disappears or teleports out of the view.
