You've rebelled against your master, Cardinal Adrastus Thorn. Can you kill him before he kills you? Who will lead the forces of Asmodeus in their final assault on the noble kingdom of Talingarde?
Okay, we have Blue Dress, Dren, Judge, Drax and Zoren, White Dresses, Ulp, Edmin. I'll allow Dren and Edmin's actions to have gone in Round 0, so you can act.
Blue Dress stops singing and shrieks, "Thieves! Thieves! Find them, sisters!" Then she throws back her head and screeeeeeeeeems, a horrible rising wail that just goes on and on.
The two White Dresses are flailing about trying to hit Ulp. They know which square he's in, but invisibility means they only hit 50% of the time. 1d100 ⇒ 51d100 ⇒ 17
Okay, so the first touch dispels the effects of Hero's Feast. Adjust your charsheet accordingly, please.
If you have any other spell or buff that would protect you against fear, that's going to get dispelled too. If you do NOT have a second buff running that would protect against fear, then make a DC 23 Will save.
1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29 will in case judge is wrong also how do they know what square I am in? They didn't know before when they were flailing around? The only thing they possibly could have heard were tools on the coffin and that means there are 4 to 9 squares I could have been in.
another edit: my will save is accurate without heroes feast. I forgot to add in my heroism.

Round 1 or Round 2
Assuming the enemies are within line of sight or able to be in line of sight with a 5' step, the tiefling bares his teeth and squeezes a hand around his black-steel blade. The muscles in his body tense and a single word in draconic slips between his lips. Instantaneously, he transforms into a bolt of lightning and leaps forward. The air sizzles around him as he sears forward, crackling through the nearest white-dressed woman and dealing 5d8 ⇒ (7, 7, 1, 8, 2) = 25 electricity damage. DC 18 reflex for half. As Jax reappears, he lets out a cackle and lashes out with his sword. The first attack bristles with arcane energy his blade lashing with leftover lightning from his flight.
Swift action Mage Strike -1 Mythic Power, expending Black Tentacle (Level 4) for a +4 to hit and +8d6 electricity damage) 1d20 + 26 ⇒ (12) + 26 = 38 for 1d6 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22 damage and 8d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 4, 3, 6, 6, 6, 5) = 35 electricity damage.
If flanking (Jax tries to move so he can flank with Edmin) he deals another 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 6) = 14 sneak attack damage.
Not content with that, the tiefling laughs and lashes out again and again.
Spell-combat for full attack 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (16) + 22 = 38 for 1d6 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22 damage, 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 1) = 12 sneak attack.
Possible Crit:1d20 + 22 ⇒ (7) + 22 = 29 for an extra 1d6 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18 for 1d6 + 21 ⇒ (4) + 21 = 25 damage, 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 4) = 12 sneak attack.
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18 for 1d6 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22 damage, 3d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 1) = 9 sneak attack.
If the targets are not easily in line of sight, Jax casts Intensified Empowered Shocking Grasp and holds the charge, then moves to where he can see the enemy and does the above but adds in the shocking grasp attack 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (7) + 22 = 29 for 1d6 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23, 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1) = 9 sneak attack and 15d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 4, 6, 3, 1, 3, 1, 1, 4, 6, 1, 6, 5, 4) = 54 electricity damage.

1d20+13 will in case judge is wrong also how do they know what square I am in? They didn't know before when they were flailing around?
They were flailing in random squares around the noise. I ruled a bit arbitrarily that each had a 10% chance of picking the right square and hitting you. Doing the math, there were 6 squares you could be in (you're next to a wall) and they each have a 50% miss chance, so a random flail in each square would give about 1 chance in 12. If we're being picky, that's 8.3% rather than 10%. But they didn't hit you anyway, so there you go.
We're close enough to charge? I assumed we were out of line of sight.
Correct -- this is in the niche, which is about 60' away and out of direct line of sight. Edmin can move to within 30' this round and charge on round 2.
Very dramatic! But, as noted, unless you can move 60' around a corner you can't reach them this round. You can cast and move and get within 30' if you want to.
Jax and Edmin, I'll let you keep these rolls next round -- assuming there's something for you to hit. (Remember, the ladies can fly. If they fly out of range, you'll need to attack them some other way, and that will need new rolls.)

Round 1 Jax said he would cast Intensified Empowered Shocking Grasp if he couldn't reach them in one round :P. He'll cast that and move, holding the charge. Also, he has on overland flight so them flying isn't a problem. Even if he wasn't, Storm Step would let him move to where they were flying, full attack and release the shocking grasp, and then fall :D
Round 1
Zoren is a bit hesitant to engage and will cast vanish on himself before following Jax into the room.
Round 2
Zoren moves into the room and will unleash a scorching ray from his wand, breaking his invisibility.
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 v Touch AC for 4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 5, 5) = 21 fire damage and 4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6, 1) = 18 sneak attack damage. He goes after Jax, targeting the one Jax goes after if it doesn't die. Otherwise, he attacks the one Edmin strikes.
Assuming the enemies are within line of sight or able to be in line of sight with a 5' step, the tiefling bares his teeth and squeezes a hand around his black-steel blade.
So I'm assuming both Edmin and Jax are getting within LOS and easy charging distance this round -- if otherwise, let me know.
The Judge just continues to shake his head sadly:
You find elvish dames. We could have had so much fun. It is sad that your end is going to end this way.
Despite the action around him, he does not seem in the least bit phased.
*The* problem is that as of the beginning of Round Two, Blue Dress has completed her action. Her unearthly scream rises and rises to an awful wail of death that resonates inside all your heads.
The Judge is of course immune. Everyone else who passed within 40' of her at any point in Round One -- which is to say, Ulp, Jax and Edmin -- must now make a Fortitude save.
Okay, you all made your saves. Great! Unfortunately, this effect is suck-or-suck. So, all three of you are Sickened -- –2 penalty on all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. (Mind, you're still very glad to have made those saves.)
Ulp, you didn't say who you were attacking, so 1d3 ⇒ 3 it's White Dress #2. Being intangible, she takes half damage, or 12 points. The other two 1d20 ⇒ 11d20 ⇒ 7 take 8 (Blue Dress) and 4 (White Dress #1).
Round Two
Damage
Blue 21
White #1 17
White #2 38
Blue Dress, Dren, Judge, Jax, Drax and Zoren, White Dresses, Ulp, Edmin. I believe Zoren already said he'll cast scorching ray. Jax and Edmin have already stated their Round 2 actions as well -- they will both charge and make melee attacks, keeping the rolls they've already made, modified by -2 on attacks and damage.
Blue Dress's action this round is to shriek in rage, move 5', and then cast. She disappears from view.

Dren has True Seeing going, can I still see her of did she transport away?
Spellcraft 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 Don't know what she cast but if it is some kind of invisibility I should be able to see her.
One of the challenges of running high level play is that monsters won't always realize they're up against high level characters. So, in all fairness, I have to occasionally make them waste an action doing something like turning invisible, even though you guys are now powerful enough that invisible opponents are barely a speed bump.
Yes, you can see her. She's drifting invisibly along towards Sir Edmin -- she can't detect Ulp, and realizes the Judge isn't vulnerable. So she's going after the big armored target first, since he should be most vulnerable to her touch attacks.

Dren begins to move towards the combat, surrounded by the field of impenetrable darkness. 20' move forward, 5' off the ground.
He then summons the powers of the beings from beyond the stars to destroy the creatures mind.
Feeblemind.
DC 27 Willpower save.
Since they can cast Arcane spells they get a -4 to their save effectively making the saving throw a DC 31.
"Target creature's Intelligence and Charisma scores each drop to 1. The affected creature is unable to use Intelligence- or Charisma-based skills, cast spells, understand language, or communicate coherently. Still, it knows who its friends are and can follow them and even protect them. The subject remains in this state until a heal, limited wish, miracle, or wish spell is used to cancel the effect of the feeblemind.
A creature that can cast arcane spells, such as a sorcerer or a wizard, takes a –4 penalty on its saving throw."

Now that Dren can see them do I know that these are undead that are immune to mind effecting affects? Just realized most undead are and that spell would most likely be useless.
Knowledge Religion 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20 only a CR10 creature so I might cast it anyways...
In the heat of battle, it has slipped Dren's mind that these creatures are undead, and thus unlikely to be affected by this sort of magic. The psychic blast from beyond the stars is designed to destroy living minds, not the complex net of negative-energy reflexes that passes for a "mind" in these malevolent spirits.
Not content with that, the tiefling laughs and lashes out again and again.
Spell-combat for full attack
1d20 + 22 ⇒ (16) + 22 = 38 for 1d6 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22 damage, 3d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 1) = 12 sneak attack.
Possible Crit: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (7) + 22 = 29 for an extra 1d6 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23
1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18 for 1d6 + 21 ⇒ (4) + 21 = 25 damage, 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 4) = 12 sneak attack.
1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18 for 1d6 + 21 ⇒ (1) + 21 = 22 damage, 3d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 1) = 9 sneak attack.
If the targets are not easily in line of sight, Jax casts Intensified Empowered Shocking Grasp and holds the charge, then moves to where he can see the enemy and does the above but adds in the shocking grasp attack
1d20 + 22 ⇒ (7) + 22 = 29 for 1d6 + 21 ⇒ (2) + 21 = 23, 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1) = 9 sneak attack and 15d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 4, 6, 3, 1, 3, 1, 1, 4, 6, 1, 6, 5, 4) = 54 electricity damage.
With adjustments for being sickened (-2 damage) and insubstantiality (half), we get
-- first attack (critical) 59/2 = 29
-- second two attacks miss
-- shocking grasp 21/2 + 54/2 = 37
Total damage is 107 (and, damn, high level magi get complicated). Who takes it? 1d2 ⇒ 1 White Dress #1, who had only taken 17 damage so far. 124 damage total? She's fine. Annoyed, mind you.
