Nodding in response to Sapphira's signing, the sorceress checks with the others to see if any others possess a scale with the ability to elevate, determining if they could send three people up at once, or only two.
"Mine had some resistance powers, though that is not relevant for the situation."
Taedric shakes his head, "Mine allows me to disguise myself."
" Alright, looks like we can only send up two people at a time. Thrall with one, Tardic, mouted on Knave, on the other she says taking the palm sized silver scale from a belt pouch, and nodding to Kelden, waiting for him to cast his spell on Taedric, before they activated the scales in unison. "Hit hard and fast! Remember we won't be able to hear you so signal when the guards have been taken out."
Resting her hand on Sapphira's shoulder she waits a moment for the other woman's mind to touch her own before relaying her thoughts.
"I can do this with the scale thrice within a day, so once they're on the bridge I'll send you up next if you want."
Moments before going on the infiltration mission, Thrall asks for the blessings of the God of War.
"Help me in this moment of strategical needs, Lord. War is about to burst."
Taedric nods, "Hopefully I'll have a clear line to charge one."
"Yeah, let's charge..."

The sounds are coming from the round turret tops to either side of the wall facing you.
Picking up a rock he looked to the others.
"In a moment this pebble will be the center of the silence spell. There will be no noise within 20 feet of it."
He cast the spell of silence on it handing it to Thrall before he stepped back and used the scale to levitate on Taedric's mount with him atop it.
He paused and made a slight face pointing to the rock and then to Taedric. In his worries over Kyra had his mind jumbled.
Knowing the absolute absence of words could disturb the using of magic, or at least to his knowledge, Thrall waits until he starts to levitaqte before using his silence oration.
Silently, Taedric (plus Knave) and Thrall levitate to the top of the wall.
There they can see the enemy demon sentries casually yacking with each other.
MAP
The sharp eyed demons snap their heads around to look at Thrall and Taedric with astonishment. They seem to be completely surprised to see you.
Round 1____________________
Players take their turn in order of posting. Enemies will go last.
Thrall extends his toes to try to reach the ground and run. He makes no noise, protected by the Silence spell, and ends up among the three guards, capitalising from their surprise.
He swings his sword from High to low, almost cutting one of the guards in half, and launches a second blow upwards again, immediately adopting a fighting stance to finish the remaining opposition.
Taedric draws his lance and nudges his furred companion, the two rushing forward with a single mind, even as he releases the celestial power in his blood, allowing it to sing and give him strength.

Round 1 completed.
Thrall's charge attack almost kills one outright, and his mythic follow up makes it explode in a cloud of smoke, sparks and bloodspatter.
Taedric's charge almost kills his opponent, and definately leaves him staggered for a little while.
All in complete silence
Round 2____________________________
Players take their turn in order of posting. Enemies will go last.
Sapphiria silently moves around the team and casts communal resist fire on everyone below in preparation for fighting demons.
With a nod, Alorah activates the scale again, elevating Sapphira in Taedric's wake, to silently add her might to the battle above.
Thrall holds his breath just in time to avoid the dangerous breath. He lifts his sword again, using his sacred blessings to invest his sword with divine power.
Though he hadnt mentioned it, He nodded as Alorah lifted their silent partner.
"You can cast from a ways away correct Alorah?"
He asked touching her with the scale and lifting her up as she lifted Sapphira up.
Taedric jabs again with the lance, trying to finish off the creature while it's still staggered.

Taedric drops the lance and directs Knave to rush forward charging the beast in the corner, even as he wordlessly issues a challenge to it.
for
"Yes, I can." Alorah replies in the affirmative, taking a breath to steel herself as she begins to rise after Sapphira.

Kelden Sunblade nodded as Alorah lifted their silent partner.
He touched her with the scale and lifting her up as she lifted Sapphira up.
Taedric jabs again with the lance, trying to finish off the creature while it's still staggered.
Taedric duplicated Thrall’s efforts, killing Brimorak two and three at the same time as Thrall, splashing more burning blood about.

Round 3____________________________
Players take their turn in order of posting. Enemies will go last.
Who are the next two characters to levitate up to the top of the parapet?
Thrall reacts to the fire, quickly closing in and throwing a big slash.
He saw the fiery explosion up above and his whole body jerked. it was weird seeing the fireball but not really hearing the whoomph of it due to the spell. His friends were up there, they probably needed healing. He levitatied himself up and when he felt that most of them were in range he gripped his holy symbol and channeled positive healing energy into his friends.
Sapphiria is engulfed by the fireballs and suffers badly.
Now in the midst of the fray, Sapphiria quietly holds her shield up and calls on divine energies to aid the team.
I assume the fire blood damage happens before the communal protection?
Yes, this round only.
Question before I resolve my action -- lances are reach weapons, so I could theoretically charge to and attack from where I put Taedric on the map -- but can the lance "go through" the empty square *next* to Thrall, or does he being there stop the charge? (Or does Taedric go before Thrall so we can both tear it up?)
From your position you can attack past Thrall with a reach weapon. I think Thrall would provide a +4 cover AC to the target, but you can still attack him.
I'm sure there's a Feat that would allow you to ignore an Ally when attacking as well.Sapphiria is engulfed by the fireballs and suffers badly.
Took 41 damage.
Sapphiria was only hit by the second fireball for 29 damage.
Having just reached the level of the parapet, Alorah sees the flash of light moments before the wash of flame passes over her, momentarily making the air too hot to breathe, Sapphira's magic managing to absorb the vast majority of the damage.
As the flames dissipate and she feels a wave of healing soothe the minor burns, she takes a step onto the parapet, focusing on her target as she sends a blast of divine fire at the Brimorak facing Thrall, acutely aware of he limits within the Silence spell.

And Taedric’s lance puts the final touch on Brimorak 4, between Thrall, Alorah and Taedric, you destroy his body physically, and there is nothing left but a red spray, body parts fall all around you with wet thumps.

Retcon Brimorak 5 action:
With Kelden still levitating, he is unable to be knocked prone.
He still took the damage from one attack (attack roll 24 for 7 bludgeoning and 5 fire (which goes away)). There is no second attack then.
Targeting the Brimorak that struck Kelden, Alorah unleashes another blast of divine fire, as she steps onto solid ground.
Thrall charges the nearest Brimorak, trying to remove it from combats and leave room for Taedric to engage the furthest one.
Taedric: Yes you can.
