He teleported away! Euphemia! I believe you should cast your remaining fly spell on Aurelio so he can fly over the spikes and rejoin Daniel and Gerard.
"It is a tad freakish that you know what spells I have on my person, Andrea."
She nevertheless swoops down to Aurelio and does just that.
Hm. Are you sure you did not tell her what magics you wield?
Phem casts fly on Aurelio with Andrea's assistance.
Rd 4: Eccardian
He uses his move action to retrieve his puncturing rapier, then he calls upon it's last ability for the day to drain the life from the half orc.
; ; plus 5 bleed
The touch attack pierces the half orc draining some of his constitution away.
You do take 19 HP, lose 2 ability points (-1 penalty which is an additional 13 HP of damage), plus 5 bleed damage at the beginning of your next turn. Unless you successful heal or have a cure spell.
For every 2 points of damage you take to a single ability, apply a –1 penalty to skills and statistics listed with the relevant ability. If the amount of ability damage you have taken equals or exceeds your ability score, you immediately fall unconscious until the damage is less than your ability score. The only exception to this is your Constitution score. If the damage to your Constitution is equal to or greater than your Constitution score, you die. Unless otherwise noted, damage to your ability scores is healed at the rate of 1 per day to each ability score that has been damaged. Ability damage can be healed through the use of spells, such as lesser restoration.
Damage to your Constitution score causes you to take penalties on your Fortitude saving throws. In addition, multiply your total Hit Dice by this penalty and subtract that amount from your current and total hit points. Lost hit points are restored when the damage to your Constitution is healed. A character with a Constitution score of 0 is dead.

It has been 1 RD, not an hour.
A dying creature is unconscious and near death. Creatures that have negative hit points and have not stabilized are dying. A dying creature can take no actions. On the character's next turn, after being reduced to negative hit points (but not dead), and on all subsequent turns, the character must make a DC 10 Constitution check to become stable. The character takes a penalty on this roll equal to his negative hit point total. A character that is stable does not need to make this check. A natural 20 on this check is an automatic success. If the character fails this check, he loses 1 hit point. If a dying creature has an amount of negative hit points equal to its Constitution score, it dies.

Andrea pulls out the Scroll of Blessing of Fervor that she wrote for an emergency, and this was a good as time as any. She casts it on Aurelio
Blessing of Fervor
With this blessing, you call your allies to move forth and empower them to conquer and become victorious. Each round for the duration of this spell, each of your allies can choose one of the following bonuses for that round at the beginning of its turn (their choice).
Increase its speed by 30 feet.
Stand up as a swift action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Make one extra attack as part of a full attack action, using its highest base attack bonus.
Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.
Cast a single spell of 2nd level or lower as if it were an enlarged, extended, silent, or still spell.
Beginning at 2nd level, a paladin can heal wounds (her own or those of others) by touch. Each day she can use this ability a number of times equal to 1/2 her paladin level plus her Charisma modifier. With one use of this ability, a paladin can heal 1d6 hit points of damage for every two paladin levels she possesses. Using this ability is a standard action, unless the paladin targets herself, in which case it is a swift action. Despite the name of this ability, a paladin only needs one free hand to use this ability.
Moving or manipulating an item is usually a move action.
This includes retrieving or putting away a stored item, picking up an item, moving a heavy object, and opening a door. Examples of this kind of action, along with whether they incur an attack of opportunity, are given in Table: Actions in Combat.
Can you pick up or manipulate an object in a square within your reach? Does this provoke an AOO? Does it provoke even if the foe can reach the object, but not your space?
The rules are a little hazy here, but to put it simply, you can affect objects and creatures within your reach. When picking up or manipulating objects, you generally provoke an attack of opportunity, but only against foes that can reach your space. You do not provoke attacks of opportunity from foes that cannot reach you, no matter what action you are taking, even if it includes reaching into a threatened space. Although it might seem realistic to allow an attack in such a case, it would make the game far too complicated.
This answer originally appeared in the 9/25/12 Paizo blog.
The paladin sees Gerard start to fall as he completes his tumble, taking a solid hit as he moves past Eccardian. He sees the blood and knows that the Rogue cannot stand.
He implores his goddess to take Gerard's wounds from him, to let the Paladin bear the brunt instead.
And she does.
Gerard completes the provoking action, ending up in a flanking position behind the Enemy, damaged but not down yet!
The paladin feels the gut wrenching strike and is barely standing.
In addition, you can move through a threatened square without provoking an attack of opportunity from an enemy by using Acrobatics. When moving in this way, you move at half speed. You can move at full speed by increasing the DC of the check by 10. You cannot use Acrobatics to move past foes if your speed is reduced due to carrying a medium or heavy load or wearing medium or heavy armor. If an ability allows you to move at full speed under such conditions, you can use Acrobatics to move past foes. You can use Acrobatics in this way while prone, but doing so requires a full-round action to move 5 feet, and the DC is increased by 5. If you attempt to move through an enemy’s space and fail the check, you lose the move action and provoke an attack of opportunity.
So Daniel's Rd3 action (since his immediate is gone and he is not in melee) Would be to LOH Gerard who went before him to provoke the Attack.
[dice=LOH Gerard]6d6
RD 3 : DMPC Gerard
Before Daniel steps up to try his disarm Gerard tumbles to get behind Eccarrdian. He takes 5 bleed damage from his wound.
[dice=tumble]1d20+30
He fails to get through Eccardian's square.
Gerard provokes an Aoo from Eccardian activating the puncturing feature
[dice=rapier of punctuting, Icrit, TA]1d20+19;[dice=damage improved vital]3d6+10;[dice=sneak]5d6 plus 5 bleed
[dice=constitution damage]1d6
Gerard slumps to the ground motionless.
51 points damage total and my Con is down to 9. Will update now. ..
RD 4: Eccarrdian
The tiefling feints to the left and hits form his right as he attacks Gerard once again but without the puncturing of the weapon,
Caught by surprise, Gerard blinks losing his Dex bonus and gets caught flat footed.
; ; plus 5 bleed
Starting at 4th level, a rogue can react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She cannot be caught flat-footed, nor does she lose her Dex bonus to AC if the attacker is invisible. She still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. A rogue with this ability can still lose her Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action (see Combat) against her.
If a rogue already has uncanny dodge from a different class, she automatically gains improved uncanny dodge (see below) instead.
You can also use Bluff to feint in combat, causing your opponent to be denied his Dexterity bonus to his AC against your next attack. The DC of this check is equal to 10 + your opponent’s base attack bonus + your opponent’s Wisdom modifier. If your opponent is trained in Sense Motive, the DC is instead equal to 10 + your opponent’s Sense Motive bonus, if higher. For more information on feinting, see Combat.
You are skilled at fooling your opponents in combat.
Prerequisites: Int 13, Combat Expertise.
Benefit: You can make a Bluff check to feint in combat as a move action.
Normal: Feinting in combat is a standard action.
EDIT:
Nevermind the feint did not work against his target DC opposed DC. So Gerard does not lose his Dex bonus and the attack did not hit his AC! He is standing and between Daniel and Eccarrdian.
If the result of your skill check is equal to or greater than the difficulty class (or DC) of the task you are attempting to accomplish, you succeed. If it is less than the DC, you fail. Some tasks have varying levels of success and failure depending on how much your check is above or below the required DC. Some skill checks are opposed by the target's skill check. When making an opposed skill check, the attempt is successful if your check result exceeds the result of the target.
RD 4: Gerard DMPC
The rogue will once again try to tumble through Eccarrdian to give Daniel flanking.
Once again he fails his tumble.
This draws an AOO.

Daniel breathed a sigh of relief, Gerard had not yet fallen and Eccardian was foolish enough to ignore the paladin.He ignores his wounds for now and entreats his Goddess to bless him with reach.
You have given us your best and we have not fallen. You. Will. Fall.
The paladin is wide eyed as he realizes his foe is no push-over as all his attacks miss. (32 and 34 miss him).
"The power of my father flows through my body you unholy wench."

Andrea 5' steps into the aclove at C-6 and draws an oil of Bless Weapon out of her Haversack and smashes it against Aurelio's shield, blessing it the ability to penatrate the defenses of evil creatures.
The devil hisses as the oil splatters.
Aurelio steps up to B5 and smiles at the devil.
Remember me?
So Aurelio steps up and hits the devil three times. The bless potion covers the warriors shield effectively bypassing the DR.
EDIT: I see Andrea goes after your attack so the bless take effect next round.

The wounded rogue musters his energy to withdraw behind Daniel. "I softened him up for you, go get him."

What was the rogue doing? Daniel had made it pretty clear they were to get out kf there, but the Rogue wanted to stay? Perhaps he knew something Daniel did not?
The paladin attacks, but with less power and more precision this time. He needed the hits to land!

Three of the paladin's attack connect.
