and he will continue to cower
Seeing Wu incapacitated for the moment, he makes sure to keep himself between Wu and the other banshee. He then goes full out against it.

The remaining Banshee strikes at Rafael and uses a MP to do a swift shout to catch you both in its cone. Then it sinks into the ground, provoking an AoO from Rafael.
Incorporeal touch for negative energy damage and terror.

Stairs lead down about fifty feet, turning and twisting as they go. A mournful, horrid sound grows more and more terrible as you approach the bottom of the stairs, coming from the east and northeast, but the source of the sound is beyond your darkvision, so you might have some time to prepare if you wish.
You may do stuff while descending if you so choose,also.

If my AoO killed the banshee, I do not activate flight.
I begin exploring the rooms in fly mode.
Wu will remain hovering at 10' waiting for the thing to re-emerge. He will have a readied action to attack it if it comes near.
power attack

As the nalfeshnee moves forward, it spots the first of the banshees and casts slow.
Banshee save beats DC18.
The Banshee is still out of sight for you, until it moves to intercept the nalfeshnee.
Save vs Major Curse Failure!
Scorching Ray fails to bypass SR.
The banshee finishes moving adjacent to the nalfeshnee, swiping at it with its ghostly claws. incorporeal touch for negative energy damage; DC 26 will save or cower for rounds; save is at -4 due to Banshee's aura of cowardice.
The second Banshee comes from the wall to the north for much the same. incorporeal touch for negative energy damage; DC 26 will save or cower for rounds; save is at -4 due to Banshee's aura of cowardice.
As the creatures move forward, their voices undulate with terrible shrieking which almost harmonizes. Their visages and their voices peel at your nerves. An aura washes over you as they approach.
Aura of Cowardice(Su):non-mythic enemies within 30 feet take a -4 penalty on saving throws vs. fear effects. Creatures immune to fear do not take the penalty but lose their immunity in the aura. Mythic creatures have to be within 10' to be affected.
Immortal Anguish(Su): any creature beginning its turn within 60' feet able to see & hear the {creature} is stricken with despair (as crushing despair) for 1d6 minutes. DC 26 Will negates. Immune on save unless {special mythic use activated}.
All have to make 2 saves at the beginning of their turns. Pharnmournx is only within one of the aura of cowardices, however.

The last of the Banshees does a flyby attack on Wu, moving from floor and into ceiling and passing its ghostly claws through the monk on the way through. incorporeal touch for negative energy damage; DC 26 will save or cower for rounds; save is at -4 due to Banshee's aura of cowardice.
Before it strikes him, Wu gets off his readied attack, hitting the Banshee, but not destroying it.

and another readied attack like before
power attack, dragon style, mutagen
Rafael moves over to Wu.
"How are you doing? Can you last a little longer, I can heal after the fight."
Rafael readies an attack.

Rafael has another wand appear in his hand and begins curing Wu.

And he will move to investigate the stairs down.
The nalfeshnee wiggles its fingers and tries to suppress magic.
Motol flees into the corner.
Pharnmournx holds up her rod and uses it to cast a spell quickly. She immediately follows it up with another spell

Not sure if he needed to save vs the same effects as the Drow pet. Valgrim steadies himself in front of such adversaries...
He closes the distance between him and the nearest Banshee striking at it with his Holy Falchion...

these posts are time consuming to get everything right...

Save vs second curse. Failure!
Valgrim connects, but the shadow demons have trouble doing the same.
Banshee #1 (westernmost) takes a swipe at Valgrim
incorporeal touch attack for negative energy damage and ; DC 26 will save or cower for rounds; save is at -4 due to Banshee's aura of cowardice. He spends a Mythic Point to cast quickened shout for sonic damage and deafened DC 23 Ref save t negate deafened and take half damage; this spell's cone hits Valgrim, Pharnmournx, and a shadow demon.

Once again, the stairs turn and twist a bit on the way down. Soon, however, they also grow wider and deeper, until they open into a vast tomb, sized for gigantic creatures.
To the right of the stairs, a monumental statue of a hydra-like monster with four stinger-like heads on long necks and hundreds of shrieking, fanged maws and blinking eyes, each painted a different color, covering its pale-blue, serpentine body.
Echoing through the chamber, a chorus of voices sing a song in Abyssal, promising pain and new life.
and will come back and inform Rafe of what he sees in a whisper.

Perception
Wu finds that the chamber is indeed pretty vast, with some crumbled walls to the east and northeast. What really captures his attention, however, is a Huge creature to the northwest in an alcove that resembles the eery statue. Wu's stealth pays off and the creature does not notice him.

** spoiler omitted **
The Banshees have a high AC due to deflection and dex, so their touch AC is also correspondingly high.
But I did forget about the displacement and spell resistance, thanks for the reminders.
Miss chance (high hits, low misses)
Caster Level Check #1
Caster Level Check #2
He will sneak back behind cover and report.
"Ok, I have no idea what the statues are, but the living version is around the corner. Given what we've seen so far, it can't be easy. "
"I will activate my boots just before you charge."
Pharnmournx moves her hands exceedingly fast and her shadow demons speed up. Then, she outstretches her arm, pointing her finger at the western banshee, and the nalfeshnee does the same to the eastern banshee. The shadow demons attack.

Perception
The critter notices Rafael's approach, but not before Wu gets into position to charge. I'll let Wu get in the charge on the surprise round, and then we'll go by initiative for after that.
Initiative
Rafael
Wu
Critter 1
Critter 2
So Wu gets his charge, then Rafael goes, then Wu goes, then the critters.
Partial charge for pummeling charge, dragon style, power attack
Target AC----Damage Inflicted
AC<= 24 = 748
AC<=29 = 622
AC <=31 = 496
AC <=39 = 365
Higher than that seem unlikely.
Target needs to make a DC 29 fortitude save or be stunned for rounds, if it makes it, target is staggered for that long.
Rafael moves until he sees a creature and attacks if he can reach one.
Actions-Free-activate haste. Swift- enter Crane Stance. Move- move up to 60' to a creature. Standard- attack using Power attack, Combat Expertise, and fighting defensively. If I can't reach a creature in a single move, then my Standard will be to go Total Defense. I will be assigning Crane Wing to creature I attack.

The shadow demonss bite and claw at the Banshees, who largely ignore them in favor of harder targets.
Valgrim's blows connect, but the creature's ethereal nature reduces their effectiveness.
The western Banshee slashes at Valgrim once again for negative damage and terror. Displacement miss roll Miss due to displacement! It then attempts to use its mythic power to do another swift shout for in that same cone. Pharnmournx's attempt to counterspell fails against CL 14.
The eastern Banshee repeats the attack on the Nalfeshnee. for negative damage and terror. It then attempts to use its mythic power to do another swift shout again, but the Nalfeshnee counters it.

The creature lashes out at a stinger with Wu as he charges forward , but misses. (Combat Reflexes)
Wu pummels the creature into a fine green, blue, and red pudding filled with multicolored eyes.
Rafael watches, readying himself against attack.
Another of the creatures emerges from the east and prepares an action.
Rafael charges forward against the other creature.
"I doubt I'll hit it as hard as you did." He says to Wu as he charges by.
Actions- Free- activate haste (5/10). Swift-activate greater heroism (9/30). Full round- charge, using Combat Expertise, Power Attack, Stunning Assault, and fighting defensively. Assign Crane Wing to this one.
