Charge over to help Randtam and Vraxel. Keep an eye on the arrow shooting bastard. If he gets within 20ft, I attack!! Let me know when I can swing at theirs.
"Follow your brother back to hell!"
Since devil is striking at both him and Randtam, Vraxel will flank the devil if possible. Subtract the 2d8 if this doesn't work.

There is 50'+ of treacherous path to 'charge'. It's DC 10 to walk regular with no combat threat, DC 15 (like Randtam's mighty dash) to make your way quickly. If you fail you fall some 200' to the river below.
Let me know what you want to do in light of these facts.
I will rethink my charge and fire off a Jolt at the flying weasel
Randtam 13/44 HP
Ear piercing scream
Still, if he comes within 20', I attack! with viciousness...and fury!
As Alamin kills one of the bearded devils, Randtam and Vraxel strive furiously to handle the other. Vraxel side-steps the fiend and drives his first dagger blade in deep, illiciting a howl of rage from the devil as it jerks away disrupting Vraxel's second attack.
Randtam casts another enchantment , once again penetrating the devil's resistance but the creature resists the daze effects of the spell.
Uuranx casts a minor magic at the winged foe but the fiend's otherworldy aura deflects it. She turns her bow on Uuranx:
and fills him with flaming arrows for points of damage.
The bearded devil splits his attacks again:
Vraxel takes a savage slash for points!
Both take 2 more points of bleed damage.
Round 5 party action...
Flinching from the devil's vicious glaive attack, Vraxel finds his determination and strikes back.
Vraxel has multiple wounds from the glaive, does that mean multiple bleed effects each round? -4 for two wounds, -6 for three wounds, etc.
Aiieeeee!!!!
Uuranx drops.
Now at -6

Negative. 2 bleed total. Otherwise these things would rule ALL the planes!
Aiieeeee!!!!

No orc ferocity or some such?
SUNS! Hang on up there Vraxel!
59HP
63HP
Nope... ...while still on the ground, as not to attract attention.
Randtam Summon Monster
not sure if I could attack or wait a round. Not sure if I was level with rounds?
Summon III
Lantern Archon (lawful good)
AC 15 HP17. DR evil/10 Immune electricity and petrification
Will attack devil on me if that devil did not go down from Vraxels mighty onslaught. If Devil is down will attack the Erinyes.
2 blinding Rays of light that bypass all DR (ranged touch attack)
Alamin revives the fallen Uuranx, who cleverly heals himself while feigning unconsciousness. The doughty Vraxel defeats the bearded devil with his daggers of death as Randtam summons a minion of the heavens that lands a beaming lance of righteousness, piercing the flying devil's skin. A second beam of light flies wide of the mark.
Stunned at finally receiving some damage, the winged devil turns her bow in fury at the orb of otherworldly light:
The orb of light is obliterated by the savage barrage of arrows
Round 6 party action...
Given his current condition and the obvious devastation caused by the devil, Vraxel is in a conundrum over what his next move should be, like Uuranx he doesn't want to call attention to himself.
"Nine hells, gotta do somethin"
He fires off a +1 arrow.
Secret heals
Waiting to pop up and strike as soon as the devil gets within 20'.
~screams up at Vraxel~Vraxel, get yourself and Randtam to safety! Take cover in that building!
Directs her righteous fury at the winged devil,
~touch of glory~
~full defense~ AC now 31
Vraxel hears Alamin's words and he wants to obey, fear is washing over him, he knows this devil could end him if it turns its bow upon him. But leaving Alamin and Uuranx to face this thing by themselves is just not an option. He knows what he has to do. He wills himself to take a step forward and then another, then he is on his way crossing the bridge to join Alamin and Uuranx, trying to hide as best he can from the devil's gaze.
Randtam 9/44 hp
Watching Vraxel stealthily move ahead to aid his friends Randtam backs away to the building for cover and summon II. Use Superior Summoning.
Celestial Eagles are summoned to distract the Erinyes.

[dice=celestial eagles]1d3 + 1
Death from above, let's see some rolls! :D
All Eagles attack with celestial fury!
I do not know what hits. All damage is 1d4 + 2 + 1(smite)
Somewhat disoriented by the taunting of Alamin and the sudden appearance of a flurry of feathered foes summoned by Randtam the Erinyes fires at the eagles and flies towards Alamin, brave (foolishly brave?) Vraxel, and fallen Uuranx(in melee next round; Alamin/Vraxel melee will go off after Erinyes; Uuranx before):
Round 7; party action
Activate Touch of Rage
Iomadae send you back, foul beast!!
Attack with Greataxe
Stab the thing in the back while it is distracted by Uuranx.
assume this does not confirm
Summon lantern Archon 30 feet away from Erinyes as I am camouflage in the structure.
The winged devil makes its way into range of Uuranx's might axe and even though he still lies prone his axe finds its way to the mark with great impact, somewhat staggering her. Vraxel dances nimbly about on the precarious ledge doing landing some flanking blows, while Alamin lashes out from behind her sturdy shield, and Randtam's newly summoned Archon fires a ray that is able to penetrate the creature's diabolical protections.
Seeing that the 'fallen' Uuranx is not quite out of the fight, the she-devil launches a point-blank barrage at him:
Uuranx takes as two arrows strike home.
Round 8; party action
As his wounds continue to bleed unabated Vraxel drops to the ground unconscious.
Randtam 5/44 HP as he is bleeding out.
Not sure of init order.
Archon fires beams (ranged touch) at its evil adversary.
Magic Missle attack
Uuranx drops at -8
~gritting her teeth in frustration at the grim situation Alamin calls upon the healing power of Sarenrae~
Vraxel stops bleeding.
~yelling up the pathway~
Alamin is able to stabilize both Vraxel and Uuranx, although they remain uncounscious. The Archon again stings the Erinyes with a ray of divine light and Randtam' magic missiles hammer through the devil's innate resistances.
The badly mauled Erinyes screams in fury and vexation at the unwillingness of certain mortals to submit to the inevitable and fires a volley of arrows at Alamin:
but once again, her defenses win out.
Out of nowhere, a huge shadowy form drops from the heights of the tower above, roaring with fury. Leave my home devil!
It's the Beast of Lepidstadt! The huge scarrred creature lands on the Erinyes, grappling with it, and finnaly rips off one of its wings. The pair drop into the canyon below, their final fall clouded by the mists of the churning river and waterfall.
***end of combat***
Vraxel continues to lie on the ground unconscious.
To Randtam-Can you heal yourself up there? You are outside of the range of my healing burst. Come closer so I can heal everyone.
Assuming Randtam does:
~touch of glory~
Vraxel slowly stands up.
"What the hell happened? I thought we were all gonna die."
Yes I am healed!!!!!
Did I need to tie a rope on something in the building and roll a climb check. I am a little shaky on climbs +1. I would hate for Randtam to fall to his death after the battle because he is Not a good climber.
Flaming arrows are my new favorite enemy...
"Thank you and Sarenrae for the healing Alamin. What now? Rest or press forward? How did you defeat the devil with the bow?"
Yes I am healed!!!!!

** spoiler omitted **
In theory YES, you should have to make some (a) climb rolls or a heal check to stop the bleeding....BUT I am merciful and don't want to see you survive this battle just to plummet to your death because of a crap roll or watch you bleed out at the top of the pass. Too hardcore for me; I'll leave that to John-O the destroyer!
"Thank you and Sarenrae for the healing Alamin. What now? Rest or press forward? How did you defeat the devil with the bow?"
It is the duty of sworn companions my friend. I think we can press on, at least a little more before we need to rest again. As for as us defeating the devil, I think that might have been beyond us but we were saved, somehow, by the appearance of the Beast. It leapt from somewhere up in the tower and took the devil down into the gorge below.
"If the Beast fell into the gorge is our quest at an end?"

** spoiler omitted **
What would have happened?
But couldn't you have healed the boys and came to me and then healed all of us? We are going to investigate the building I am bleeding out in right?
Most likely a -3 skill check due to blood loss. Here we go!

The challenge is Alamin's climb check is horrible and there is every chance SHE could have fallen in the gorge ending up with everyone dead. I thought about it, but that would have been a crap way to end the story.
Send rope of climbing across to the far door to help everyone get across, +10 climb.
"If the Beast fell into the gorge is our quest at an end?"
I don't think so. It's unlikely the Beast is done for, given the nature of its construction; and that devil just appeared from nowhere. Almost as if it were summoned. Finally, we have seen no sight of the Count and he is still accountable for his actions and creations. Let's press on.
Send rope of climbing across to the far door to help everyone get across, +10 climb.
[dice=climb]1d20+11+10
With the expert aid of Vraxel and his magic rope and unopposed by the legions of hell, the party easily makes its way to the last height.
The door at the bottom of the stairwell is still rusted shut, requiring a DC28 STR check (or other means) to open
Look closely after Vraxel has looked for traps.

This metal door seems to have experienced some severe rusting, probably caused by the monsters encountered earlier. It looks fairly well stuck.
