It is 100 miles to the shoreline through desert, then an additional 500 miles to the island where Cauldron is (no rest stops along the way), then the distance from the landing to cauldron proper.....

Alkaid replys via Telepathy
"If Sir Alek goes first, I can fly us to the shore where we can get food and water.
One trip, I figure will be 8 Hours to the shore and that is one way.
One trick I could do, is enlarge myself for the trip taking all of us to the shore, and It'll then be 6 hours for the group."

"Nay, lass, worry yerself not. Gorum will provide. We oughta bunker down right 'ere. I'm thinkin' Kythel goes first, then Broccan, followed by Sir Alek. Ah go last 'n ye use yer 'scroll' o' teleport to join 's 'n Cauldron. Ah'm thinkin' th' paladin be 'n less danger 'ere 'an 'n th' city 'n think 'r people should be 'ere 'n ready t' defend 'im when 'e gets 'ere."

Alkaid replys via Telepathy
"It would be best, if Sir Alek went first as he needs to revoke the challenge he made before it breaks the town apart.
We could hunker down here, but then we'd need something to keep us from getting cabin fever. If we are at the shore everyone can do something to keep their mind and body active like; fishing, swimming, using the sand to build shelter from the sun."

The dwarf gives the (apparently) young woman a bemused look. "Now Ah see why he were sent t' observe. Ye 'ave a few things t' learn. Ye won't get cabin fever 'n two days, lass. 'n we mortals 'r safer t' sit tight. Ye said yerself th' flight was n' th' best choice. What 'r Ye goin' t' do when ye 'r a goddess wit' nothin' t' do but watch?"

As you are making plans Sir Alek has stepped outside..

You hear him cry out.

"Begone Minions!"

You arrive to see three demons
Mugshot

Attacking Sir Alek!

Demon 1
Bite : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 251d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
claw 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 191d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
claw 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 301d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Demon 2
Bite : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 261d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
claw 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 271d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
claw 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 191d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Demon 3
Bite : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 111d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8
claw 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 301d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
claw 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 251d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

You are up!

Alkaid replys via Telepathy
"Looks like we'll need to finish this a talk a bit later."

Alkaid charges the a Demon
Attack: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (12) + 18 = 30
Damage(Silver+Good): 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

This is after we have rested?

This is after we have rested?

I think we should assume we have not had the 8 hour rest.

I think we should wait for the DM to answer. Assuming is unnecessary - we aren't under some time constraint to post, are we?

nearly two days have passed....

Round 1

Kythel steps near Sir Alek and casts Magic Circle against Evil bringing the circle right between the Paladin and the attacking Demons. "Pharasma, grant us succor against these wicked foes!"

"Sir Alek, step back and into the protection of my spell!"

All creatures within the area gain: (1) a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saves. Both these bonuses apply against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures, (2) save vs. mental control (I assume not applicable at the moment), and (3) the spell prevents bodily contact by evil summoned creatures. Moreover, evil summoned creatures cannot enter the area designated by the Circle.

Broccan rushes forward and strikes at the nearest demon.

Attack, Vital Strike: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30

Damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 6) + 6 = 16

An unarmored man appears, seemingly from nowhere, and casts Haste on the party.

He steps into the circle Kythel just created.

Look out, guys. These things are nasty!

Well, hello, Kaurophon! I will try to get an action put together shortly.

Edrukk casts a spell as his shorter legs churn and he charges the nearest of the demons.

Using fervor to cast divine favor as a swift action and attacking with Vital Strike. +1 from haste, +3 from luck

Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 16 + 1 + 3 = 21

Damage: 4d6 + 18 + 3 ⇒ (1, 6, 2, 5) + 18 + 3 = 35

Well, rats. That's not very lucky at all.

The stranger pokes around in his gear, looking for something.

Mugshot

The demons howl in rage as the magic circle comes up, but they take it out on the people who are standing or stepped outside the circle to attack them!

@ Alkaid
Bite : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 161d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
claw 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 241d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
claw 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 231d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

@ Broccan
Bite : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 101d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
claw 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (4) + 12 = 161d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
claw 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 271d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

@ Edrukk
Bite : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 91d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
claw 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 231d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
claw 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 241d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

You are up!

Alkaid takes out the beating stick and whacks on the the one that bit her
Attack: 1d20 + 18 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 18 + 3 + 2 = 43 Crit
Damage(Good): 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2
Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10

Crit: 1d20 + 18 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 18 + 3 + 2 = 35 ??
Damage(Good): 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Round 2

Kythel nearly jumps when Kaurophon appears out of thin air, "Right well, I'll just assume you are on our side and an ally of my friends' friends".

Kythel channels energy to injure the Demons Alignment Channeling 4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 4, 4) = 14

Kaurophon casts Glitterdust, attempting to blind one (or 2) of the demons.

(DC 16 Will)

Broccan slashes again at the demon before him.

Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

Second Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

One of the demons falls under the combined efforts.

The remaining two have to save against the glitterdust
Save 1d20 ⇒ 10 Fort +10, Ref +6, Will +6
Save 1d20 ⇒ 7 Fort +10, Ref +6, Will +6

One saved, one failed.

The one that saved attacks Alkaid
Bite : 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 131d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
claw 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 151d6 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
claw 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 181d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

The blinded one goes after
1d4 ⇒ 4
Edrukk, Broccan, Alkaid, Sir Alek

@Sir Alek
Bite : 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 181d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
claw 1: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 221d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
claw 2: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 201d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

You are up!

Please don't forget the 50% miss chance on the blind one attacking Sir Alek if any of those would otherwise hit.

The warpriest of Gorum attacks the demon that is the object of Darvin's attention, trying to take it. "Focus yer attacks, folks! Bring 'em down one 't a time!"

Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 + 1 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 16 + 1 + 3 = 26
Damage: 4d6 + 18 + 3 ⇒ (1, 4, 5, 6) + 18 + 3 = 37

Vital Strike, Power Attack, Furious Focus, Haste, Divine Focus; Didn't assume flank, but would gladly accept it if it's an option with a 5' step. Also did not include any bonuses for attacking the blinded demon if that's who Broccan was fighting.

Round 3

Kythel again channels energy to injure the Demons from within the Circle. Alignment Channeling 4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 3, 6) = 19

Alkaid Starts whacking another demon
Attack: 1d20 + 18 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 18 + 3 + 2 = 40
Damage(Good): 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8
Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

Crit: 1d20 + 13 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 13 + 3 + 2 = 24
Damage(Good): 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7
Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 1) = 2

Broccan?

First Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (8) + 16 = 24

Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Second Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Don't forget you're all hasted!

The demon attempts to dispel magic 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 @ the magic circle Vs. DC = 11 + the spell's caster level

The demon attempts to dispel magic 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25 @Glittering dust Vs. DC = 11 + the spell's caster level

If the caster will just post whether or not their spell was dispelled....

You are up!

Glitterdust dispelled! :(

Kaurophon casts Slow on the demons.

Alkaid whacks the poor demons some more.
Attack: 1d20 + 18 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 18 + 3 + 2 = 37
Damage(Good): 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4
Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11

Crit: 1d20 + 13 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 13 + 3 + 2 = 26
Damage(Good): 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Bane: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7
Holy: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12

Broccan continues to slash at the demons.

First Attack: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18

Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Second Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Broccan continues to slash at the demons.

[dice=First Attack]1d20+16

[dice=Damage]1d8+6

[dice=Second Attack]1d20+11

[dice=Damage]1d8+6

Is this including your extra attack from haste?

+1 from haste, +3 from luck, assuming I've been able to maneuver into a flank by now

Greatsword: 1d20 + 16 + 1 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 16 + 1 + 3 + 2 = 31

Damage: 4d6 + 18 + 3 ⇒ (6, 6, 2, 4) + 18 + 3 = 39

Additional haste attack:

Extra Attack: 1d20 + 16 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 16 + 1 + 2 = 31

Damage: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

You destroy another demon and the last one blinded, fades away into nothingness....

The voice echos in your mind "There is no where you can go, no where you can hide."

Combat over

"Alek, ye 'ave some persistent folk 'at dinnae like ye. Wha's 't all 'bout?"

Before the paladin can respond, he turns to the mage that appeared out of thin air and sticks out a massive paw of a hand. "Ah dinnae 'oo ye 'r 'r why ye 'r 'ere, but Ah sure glad ye 'r. Name's Edrukk, son of master smith Thorvir. 'oo ye be?"

Sir Alek "From what I have pieced together the master of the Demonskar is the demon we already met, but he has not made move upon Cauldron because a powerful beholder is already there, I do not know if they are working together or oppose one another."

Sir Alek shrugs "Maybe that is why the demon is trying to open a portal to the hells, I really do not know."

"We saw large cages being crafted in that place and you spoke of cages in your ranting while we battled the Demon. There were many, many cages that could possibly hold many, what I do not know..."

Kythel turrns to the wizard, "I am Kythel of Nisroch, humble Servant of Pharasma, I echo Edrukk's welcome. Your timing was perfect. Are you able to bring us all back to Cauldron?"

Sir Alek chimes in as well...

"I am Sir Alek, Paladin of Caoldron."

"As it stands those in Cauldron know of our plight but can only take us singly by teleportation, leaving the lesser numbers exposed on both fronts."

"'m Broccan," Broccan says with a quick nod to the newcomer.

I am Kaurophon, of the Smoking Eye.

There is a smoking eye design on his tunic, which he indicates.

I saw that you were in distress, and I came to help. I found myself here just moments after I heard the prophet's words inside my head. I suppose that I am the ‘sign of the smoking eye’ he talked about.

It is good to meet you all.

Alkaid adds
"I'm Alkaid"

she's 6 foot 3, looks are in image link.

Sir Alek "As you can see we are stuck here at the moment. Tell us Where do you hale from Kaurophon?"

I am a traveler and I’ve wandered the planes for hundreds of years. Because I was born of an illicit dalliance between fiend and human, I’m welcome nowhere.

He looks a little sad for just a second, then rights himself.

Perhaps my heritage is the reason I want to help someone pass the test of the Smoking eye and purify Occipitus, but I’m not one for introspection. I just think the balance of the plane can be changed by the right people.

Knowledge the planes DC OR Bardic lore check
DC 20

DC 25

DC 30

Know(Planes): 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23

Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

"What be th' Smokin' Eye? 'R awkwasipitus?" the look on his face as he tries not to mangle the unfamiliar word is unusually amusing for the normally four fellow.

Alkaid replies
"Occipitis, isn't that plane considered haunted by abyssal standards?"
