The party's hard fighting finally pays off. In the space of seconds three bone devils meet their ends. Only one ice devil on the right and Corso's threatened pair remain a threat to you.
Corso remains his unhitable self. In spite of a boatload of attacks against him, he remains unscathed.
The right ice demon summons a huge wall of glistening ice. The dangerously cold room's temperature drops even lower as waves of breath stealing air flow off of it. The ice devil then moves to the western side of the room.
Everyone except corso takes 2d6 + 1d10 ⇒ (5, 2) + (4) = 11 cold damage. Corso only takes the d10. The wall runs right in front of the party where the demons used to be. The last bone devil blocks melee access to either ice devil. I'll update the map soon.
Party up!

Moving around the room, hoping to get in a better position to attack, Rathis pulls a bottle from the pouch on his belt and, dropping the stopper, quickly downs it.
"Let's put an end to this. I'm tried of the cold," he growls.
Move 30 feet west; drink extract of heroism (+2 to attacks and saves for 140 minutes.
it was a bone devil as I understood it. I'm essentially taking that devil who is tied up in the pit out of the fight.
The party focus fires and the last bone devil and reduces it to nothingness in seconds. The east demon continues to attack corso, while the other steps up and attacks the quickly approaching Rathis.
Corso remains a solid bulwark, and his presence causes the demon's spear to miss at least once, but Rathis is still hit. (take 16 damage and make a DC 23 fort or be Slowed)
Endure elements was my first thought when I read it, but unfortunately no. This cold is beyond normal environmental effects. It is specifically called out in the book as supernatural.
The right Ice devil crunbles under the combined assault of Omar and Rathis. Valeria has trouble making her blows land, but it doen't matter now. Just one left.
That one continues to engage Corso in heated combat. Most of his blows miss, but his spear does manage to scratch the defensive specialist.
Take 21 damage, DC 23 fort or be Slowed for 1d6 ⇒ 6 rounds
The party takes 1d10 ⇒ 10 cold from the environment.
Party up!
The devil is now hard pressed, but it does not back down. It spreads out its attacks to try to make a final good contact, but cannot seem to make anything land on either the impermeable fighter before it or any of his fellows.
Party takes 8 more cold from the room. Party up! Finish him!
As Ferod says, so it is. With a parting swipe from Rathis the last of the foes is focefully ejected from this plane and the supernatural cold dissipates.

"In my experience, tombs but rarely come stuffed with angels. It's always something which doesn't like intruders and lasts a long time. So you've devils, demons, elementals, and undead. Don't know if it really reflects on a family or not. Though this one does seem a bit on the nasty side as families go. "
The ceiling of this room is fifteen feet high. Large arched niches fill the east and west walls; various bones are mortared into the niches in artfully arranged patterns, and each is packed with the jawless skulls of countless humans. Each skull has a name painted on its surface, along with dates of birth and death. A ragged hole in the ground to the northeast drops into what appears to be an even deeper cavern.
In the northwest corner of the room, a skull bearing the words “Thrasillus Daellum Adella, 4321–4418” still has its jawbone attached.
DC 18 Dex:
Removing the skull from its niche reveals that it has an exquisite oval ruby etched with the symbol of the cross-eyed medusa clenched between its teeth, radiating transmutation magic. This ruby is probably one of the items needed to activate the entrance teleportation circle.
Apologies, I have another character with a similar feel to Omar in another campaign. I've come close to posting the wrong name several times now and it has finally happened. :P
After Omar extricates himself from a small pile of skulls, the party descends into the hole in the floor. It leads to a crudely formed chamber who's ceiling stands only eight feet above the floor. The floor here is strewn with dust and gravel.
There is only one other tunnel, so you proceed into a similiar cavern with several off shooting chambers. These do not appear naturally formed, but they are definitely rough hewn.
Soon after you enter, a frightfully pale, dark-haired woman, wearing a soiled, old fashioned gown and with what look like tears of dried blood caked on her cheeks. She asks in a tremulous voice, Are my daughters unharmed? Have you come to rescue us?
FYI: You can dot the gameplay thread and then delete the post to get the game into your campaigns tab. Or just start RPing and getting a feel for each other and your group style. Whichever. :)
Like the render?
It took a while since I'm mixing 4th gen Clothes, a 5th gen prop with a 6th gen character base, and had to tweak the materials a lot to get the silver colour.

I'll finish up tonight. Mostly dealing with small things, spending the last 30,000 gp or so. Will probably grab a few more consumables, maybe up my AC a touch more.
Given Rathis' description I could do a render,
though Omar's description is more vague.
I'll give both of them a shot either tomorrow night, or monday.

Checking in. I have pretty much everything I need in my profile. I'll do my best to keep everything focused on me (GM Choon, check my profile for a "things the GM should know" spoiler; don't know why I didn't think of that sooner.)

I don't have a solid image of Omar in my head either personally.
I don't spend much time on what my characters look like as it is not something I think about. I worry about personality and abilities.
This is not to say I wouldn't appreciate such an effort, but it's just that I don't have any image in my head with which to help you. I would take him as a fairly average looking sort but of a middle eastern bent (Keleshite). He would be dressed in high quality but practical clothing (his armor is glamered so it can look like whatever he wants).
Oh also, since Omar is a guide, as long as you are within sight of me and can hear me you get +2 on initiative, perception, stealth and survival checks while in urban, underground or forest terrain.
I'm a lord by deed, not word. We might actually know each other, as I have on occasion escorted Princess Eutropia to various social functions. Also, I'm a rather popular character in bardic verse =)
If changes needed please tell me what, (is some cases, it'll not be possible or a crap load of work.)
I do plan on making a Height reference render so folks have each other in proper perspective, though I'd need heights.
And when I have the heights I can also make group renders
ya, I think it works well for him (and is way more visually creative than I tend to be). Just wanted to make you aware that he's kinda short when it comes to putting characters together in a group shot kinda deal.

I look forward to seeing yours.
I'll put two of them here, to keep things grouped.
Which one; The Armoured, The Guard Clothes, or a Height Reference
She's just as strong Corso, but not as bulky.
I tend to use the physical stats to help determine the look of the muscle; bulk, amount, detail etc.
I also tend to use CHA to help determine how curvy a female body is, as the Hourglass form is considered universally beautiful across multiple cultures.
