Dramatically, this is not a bad moment to undergo the final and epic battle. If so, however, I say we wait for Azarra. She's been here from the beginning and, oftentimes, she's been the one to drag us through the adventure. She deserves to play this.

Ser Armithia goes with option #1!
Swift to activate Smite on Chair!:
Smite Evil (Su): Once per day, a paladin can call out to the powers of good to aid her in her struggle against evil. As a swift action, the paladin chooses one target within sight to smite. If this target is evil, the paladin adds her Charisma bonus (if any) to her attack rolls and adds her paladin level to all damage rolls made against the target of her smite. If the target of smite evil is an outsider with the evil subtype, an evil-aligned dragon, or an undead creature, the bonus to damage on the first successful attack increases to 2 points of damage per level the paladin possesses. Regardless of the target, smite evil attacks automatically bypass any DR the creature might possess.
In addition, while smite evil is in effect, the paladin gains a deflection bonus equal to her Charisma modifier (if any) to her AC against attacks made by the target of the smite. If the paladin targets a creature that is not evil, the smite is wasted with no effect.
add 6 damage, unless considered evil outsider then 12 damage good-bye DR!
I am hoping it counts as a creature and winks at me!
All right lets do this. Please can you place yourselves on the map, including Azarra.
Ser Armithia's sword flashes out, Cardona Junior regards it with mild surprise and he watches with interest as the blade smashes into the huge carved crystal throne which rings like a gong. A piece of the ghastly green crystal shatters off and with a sudden retort Ser Armithia is blown several feet backwards, and suddenly the figure who would be the the picture of elegance and refinement were it not for its grotesque fly head and shivering insectile wings, appears in a clap of thunder and sulphurous fumes! Suddenly it vanishes...
Mildly amused, Cardona Junior leans forward and remarks, "This should be interesting, my money's on the fly..."
Kn: Arcarna DC 20:

____
Having returned from making sure her parents were okay and witnessing Ser's attack, Azarra starts singing to inspire everyone and then casts Haste on everyone.
Haste and +2 Attack and +2 Damage from Inspire Courage... sorry, don't have anything that will make the demon visible.
Kardas will wait for the caster to reveal his position, say by casting a spell and thus making sound (and per Pathfinder, many spells have visible components? whatever), and then hit him with a glitterdust. Don't care if he's blinded, just want him to be revealed.
Kardas supercharges his blade with latent arcane energies and whirls it in his hand, impatiently waiting for the otherworldly foe to give them a hint of where it might be.
Swift action: use 1 arcane pool point to make his sword +5 for a minute. Std action: ready (glitterdust, Will DC 15)
When greater dispel magic is used in this way, the spell affects everything within a 20-foot-radius burst. Roll one dispel check and apply that check to each creature in the area, as if targeted by dispel magic. For each object within the area that is the target of one or more spells, apply the dispel check as with creatures. Magic items are not affected by an area dispel.
For each ongoing area or effect spell whose point of origin is within the area of the greater dispel magic spell, apply the dispel check to dispel the spell. For each ongoing spell whose area overlaps that of the greater dispel magic spell, apply the dispel check to end the effect, but only within the overlapping area.
If an object or creature that is the effect of an ongoing spell (such as a monster summoned by summon monster) is in the area, apply the dispel check to end the spell that conjured that object or creature (returning it whence it came) in addition to attempting to dispel one spell targeting the creature or object.
You may choose to automatically succeed on dispel checks against any spell that you have cast.
There's a long discussion about pinpointing invisible foes here. So I think you'd need to be within 30' to pinpoint. If it was trying to be stealthy then you'd need a ridiculously perception roll since it's got a +28 stealth modifier. While that could lead to some entertaining shenanigans at the table, it would be really string out a PbP combat. It's kinda moot for now since Ser has just done something kind of awesome.
In a rapid staccato Ishta snaps out the words to a spel and suddenly she's surrounded by many Ishtas!
Looking resplendent in his armour and with great pomp and ceremony Ser Armithia presents his sword to Cardona as if he was letting the man examine it. Inside the helmet the elf grinned and with a sudden sound like ripping fabric the air is filled with static before returning to normal. The greenish lustre of the throne fades somewhat and cracks appear within it. Looking utterly stunned, Cardona Junior stares in horror at his surroundings before rolling off the throne unconscious and drooling.
Behind Ser Armithis appears a very confused half-fly, half-man demon. Powering up, Kardas prepares for a fight.

So, is the chair out of service, or does it look like it is still functioning? Wondering about the "fades somewhat" part. If it doesn't look all the way destroyed/nonfunctional, then Azarra (still singing) will target it:
Azarra uses her hasted movement and normal movement to get closer, then she uses her normal action and a mythic extra action to lace magical words into her song, directed at the chair:
Note that Weird Words is not a spell, so I should be able to use my Mythic extra action to use it again, and I hope the chair, as an object, isn't too hard to hit. (Down to 22/27 bardic performance and 4/7 Mythic power points)
If the chair is already clearly destroyed, then Azarra will target the demon... we can just say she does the same thing, but not sure it is wise, and might be better to shoot the demon from afar in that case.
Std action: cast Glitterdust on the Demon (and not Armithia). Swift Action: haste self for 3 rounds for 1 arcane pool point. Move action: move closer.
Stunned by Armithia's actions, Kardas forgets to finish his spell. He then quickly realizes that he's supposed to hit the damned fly-man with a glitterdust, and finishes the incantation. With haste, he then strides forward.
Haste: 3 rounds (+1 dodge AC, +1 to hit, +1 attack when full-round attacking)

Ser Armithia turns to face the very confused half-fly, half-man Demon with a grin on his normally stoic elven face.
You don't think you're going to win do you.
The chair looks to be made of sturdy stuff although it was assuredly damaged by Ser Armithia's dispel, or perhaps it's more accurate to say rendered vulnerable. Azarra's torrent of words blew off chunks of stone which fragmented into clouds of sparkling green powder revealing veins of some black ichor moving turgidly within, as if propelled by a slowly beating heart...
Kardas what was the save DC? Pretty certain 13 fails though! Coloxus Demon, Will:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 <--- FAIL
The stunned demon was suddenly engulfed by a cloud of fine sticky golden particles which got everywhere, neatly covering every surface gilding it. Blinded it thrashed around in surprise!
Judge Tully staggered back in alarm, falling over a chair.
Despite taking tremendous damage, the chair wasn't done for yet. It floated up into the air and started rotating slowly. A sick redish light filtered out from the darkness within and crackling red lightings stabbed out to strike Ser Armithia and Azarra.
The fly demon's now golden wings droned as it rose unsteadily in the air and it screeched an obscene sounding spell, filling the area below it with a tenuous mist.

DC 20 is auto success for Ishta
"Be gone!" Ishta cries, stomping her staff on the ground and lifting one hand powerfully. Suddenly, a tremendously string wound raises and starts blowing away everything, including the mist, the chair and the demon.

Judge Tully? I thought all of the regular people were outside now. I mean, I see them there on the map, but I thought we went through the whole thing with getting them outside so we could fight without worrying about them. ... or is he some undercover bad guy?
Azarra stands up remarkably well to the various attacks from demon and furniture, but knows she has been really lucky, so she goes all out again, moving backward to the wall and then trying to hit the chair hard and fast and remove it from the equation before it can destroy them all.
Her powerful voice booms out:
CRACK! CRUSH! BREAK! FRACTURE! SHATTER! SMASH!
Weird Words Attack (Ranged Touch):1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 Weird Words Attack 2:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28 (Haste extra attack)
Weird Words Attack 3:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 (Mythic extra attack)
Corrected the amount of Bardic Performance I have left... it costs one performance per word, not per attack, so now down to 13/27 bardic performance and 3/7 Mythic power points.
Oh, just noticed one of those is a crit... so if you can crit with a spooky weird word attack, which I guess you can because it is ranged touch, then...
I forgot to remove all the people. For sake of consistency, lets say everyone except Tully left the area.
Ishta blew gently into the palm of her hand and she made a gesture as if giving the wind to the middle of the cloud. Instantly hurricane force winds ran down between the pews picking up dirt and powdered throne, sandblasting the wall behind. The demon's insidious cloud was instantly ripped to shreds by the howling wind.
Moments later Ser Armithia again unleashed his sword and once more the world was filled with static. Ser Armithia probably didn't intend for the demon to be able to see again, and likely neither did he intend for it fall out of the sky (it's ability to fly was largely magical) but both things happened. The spell had a rather more impressive effect on the throne, the top inch of stone instantly mazed with cracks and it took on a whiteish powdery hue. Clearly damage had been done!
Azarra's voice cracked out like a whip, blasting off chunk after chunk of stone. A nimbus of shimmering heat surrounded her, lending an otherworldly appearance. As the last word slammed into the throne, it was rent asunder with a thunderous crack to reveal a dark malevolence floating in the air, reminiscent in shape of a human foetus!
Kn: Religion or Arcarna DC 25:
This is all that remains of Jandark Cardona, a nexus of unlife that must be purged with steel and fire!
Kardas, it seems your posted action is moot now. Would you like to do something different?

Azarra had no idea how to fight a little cloud of Jandark, but Silence seemed like a good first step. She didn't want him... or the demon... to be able to cast any spells. Hopefully Ser and Kardas could actually hit whatever it was... and if not, maybe Ishta could stand outside the silence and murder it that way.
She casts Silence.
(I think it takes a round to cast it, and guessing that haste doesn't actually speed it up, so not putting up the circle for now, but when it does go up, going to try to get Jandark and demon in it, and not Ishta.)
You believe the nexus of unlife is incorporeal, taking half damage from melee and magic. However it is vulnerable to positive energy, taking extra damage. You believe if you disrupt it enough the lich will be gone for good, since you destroyed the phylactery earlier.
Kn: Arcarna DC 25:
You think the demon's presence is tied to the lich and if Jandark is destroyed the demon will be banished.
Empowered by his magic, Kardas swoops up into the air!
The Demon picks itself up off the floor and rushes towards Azarra!
It can't do anything till next round.
Another wave of red lightning emanates from the floating malevolence, lashing everyone near by!

After her warning, Ishta stomps the staff on the ground and thrusts forward with it, a small ball of fire appearing from the tip of the wood and exploding nearby.
I'm not sure which things Ishta has might apply to the spell, since it comes from a staff. I'm guessing none, other than her own CL and Int, so no increased damage, no boosted CL, no mythic s**#, etc. The fireballed area is marked in red.

Azarra takes another burst of lightning. She isn't feeling all that great, but she is able to finish weaving her spell into her song, and a circle of silence pops up (Green Dotted Circle... Ishta's is Red).
That took all of last round to cast, so now on to this round...
She wanted to kill Jandark with a dangerous intensity, but she couldn't move to him or shoot him without getting around this demon in front of her. What to do? She decided to try some acrobatics to get around it without giving it a free shot at her. She stopped singing and leapt into the newly-charred area, and into the circle of silence...
Acrobatics:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34
Honestly not sure how good my roll has to be to get past him, but I am just going to act like I made it, and if I fell flat instead, just let me know.
She tumbles on to the cracked throne where Cardona used to be before he fell off drooling. She doesn't know whether her bow will work on the glob of Jandark Jelly, but she tries it, point blank, using her mythic power to make her first shot a Surprise Strike.
Surprise Strike (Trickster Attack) [As a swift action, you can expend one use of mythic power to make a melee attack or ranged attack against a target within 30 feet, in addition to any other attacks you make this round. When you make a surprise strike, the target is considered flat-footed regardless of any class features or abilities it might have, and you add your tier to the attack roll. Damage from this attack bypasses damage reduction.]
Damage 1 (bypasses any DR):2d6 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 + (1, 3) = 12 (the 2d6 is holy damage)
Damage 2 (Good-Aligned Piercing):2d6 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 2 + (2, 4) = 11 (the 2d6 is holy damage)
In case it matters, especially for the second roll which doesn't automatically ignore DR, my bow is holy: "A holy weapon is imbued with holy power. This power makes the weapon good-aligned and thus bypasses the corresponding damage reduction. It deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against all creatures of evil alignment."
Bow is also Designating, so if I hit it either time, then "allies gain a +2 morale bonus on melee attack and melee damage rolls against the designated target for 1 round" ... so you still get a bonus, even though I am in the middle of silence and can't sing.

Ser Armithia hastily avoids some of the inky blackness!
The chamber goes suddenly silent! Then a familiar explosion erupts over the throne and the evil Jandark!
He then watches as the bard acrobatics by the insect demon to lay some hurt on the evil Jandark!
The Paladin of Helm then joins her , calling on Helm to smite this evil Jandark!

It doesn't matter whether I have selective spell or not... it comes from the staff. There was no one there when I posted, and my initiative goes first, so I thought that wasn't going to be a problem.
PS I'll try to deal with the demon next turn while you guys dispatch Mr J.
PS2 Nah, forget that, the demon can fly over Wall of Force because it doesn't have the Dome option. Plus, it can probably teleport. :(
The violent magic lashes out at Kardas and leaves him wounded. With his friends focusing on Cardona, Kardas seeks out the demon. They are, after all, one of the Raumviran's eternal enemies.
OK then.
Ishta's fireball erupted with a stunning flash of violence, lightly charring the demon. It seemed to effect the exposed nexus of unlife, causing it to flicker momentarily before it resurged strong as ever. It damaged both.
Ser Armithia's sword hummed with power as he called upon Helm's judgement, and as it struck there was a brilliant flash of light. When your eyes recovered the unlife nexus seemed significantly diminished!
Flick flacking and tumbling in a way that would astonish a trapeze artists, Azarra evaded the demon and gained enough space to send a volley of glowing arrows which slammed into it, causing it to flicker violently!
Kn: Arcarna DC 28:
The attacks have destabilised the unlife nexus, and it's going to explode! You really don't want to be in the blast radius (approx 60' radius) when that happens. You have two options, retreat or do enough holy damage to stop it! Either way it should theoretically be gone for good, although destroying it outright is the most certain ending.
While maneuvering into striking position, Kardas cast a spell making his blade crackle with sickly greenish energy. He then plunged it into the demon's flank! The spell danced over the demon's flesh but only his blade caused any damage.
Spell Resistance:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 <--- FAIL
Kardas I can't remember does your blade count as good? The demon has DR 10/Good.
Tendrils of red lightning crackled out once more indiscriminately, hitting everyone in the area including the demon!

Reading back I can see this post: "Kardas will pull a veil of mirror images over himself once Armithia shoots into action, if possible." Kardas never actually rolled for the images - perhaps we should do so now.

Flickering was good, right? Maybe it was getting weaker? She could hope. Azarra stood her ground despite getting hit by that lightning again and feeling sort of flickering herself. She had to finish it.
She shot the Jandark Jelly again with everything she had, which thankfully would be much more than the last volley since she didn't have to waste time avoiding a demon. Thank you, Kardas!
As the demon chews through his mirror images and the swordmage's defenses start to falter, Kardas realizes that the nexus of unlife is about to explode. Its current volatile state can't contain what's within for much longer! "The nexus! It's about to explode! Smash it with holy power or run!!!"
He, however, is not one to run. Not immediately, anyways.
Full-round action: spell combat (cast 'Frostbite', -2 to hit but one extra attack, power attack, enhanced sword, haste) - auto success on combat casting because of Mythic Competent Caster - 4 attacks total, one at -5 bab -- swift action: re-haste self 3 rounds (+1 to attack, AC and Reflex saves, +30ft movement) Attack 1:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (20) + 16 = 36 Crit?:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21 Mythic 1d6 to perhaps make it crit?:1d6 ⇒ 1 Damage 1:1d8 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18 Thundering sonic dmg *if* crit:1d8 ⇒ 8 Attack 2:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22 Damage 2:1d8 + 16 ⇒ (3) + 16 = 19 Attack 3:1d20 + 16 ⇒ (14) + 16 = 30 Damage 3:1d8 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20 Attack 4:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20 Damage 4:1d8 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22 Spell Resistance if an attack hits:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29 Frostbite nonlethal cold damage:1d6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 Frostbite - no saving throw - the target is fatigued until it recovers the nonlethal damage (if any)
It's only after the arcane barrage that Kardas falls back.
Rules question: can you 5ft step *and* then use amazing initiative to take a move action? If so, Kardas would do that. If not, he simply moves and triggers the AoO. I imagine you can't.
Amazing Initiative - standard action: move (away 90ft flying!) - probably triggers an aoo from the demon if it still standing.

Ishta nods when they realize the due situation they're into. She's not able to do the kind of damage needed now, though she has the hope that Ser Armithia is. Therefore, she'll have to wait until the paladin strikes once more...
"Come to me! We're leaving!" she cries out, rising her hand again and starting to pronounce some arcane words.
Ishta goes first, so hopefully her shout is heard before others can act. She'll move and take a readied action: cast Dimension Door at +2 CL (just out of the explosion radius) when everybody is in range and Ser's attacks are finished. In case it's still going to explode, you know.

Ser Armithia stands firm! The negative energy pulsating throughout his body feeling like thick oil coating his skin.
Reminds me of that time I signed up for a student massage. Holy Fumbles; that was uncomfortable!
The Paladin winks at Azarra from across the shimmering lich. The Knight then salutes his companions, before unleashing a full tirade of Holy Avenger action!

So if Kardas uses his extra action to join Ishta, she'll teleport everyone away, out of the radius. If he can't make it, she won't leave him alone. Sorry guys, no one left behind!

(You guys, we are in a sphere of silence. Lasts for 9 rounds. I can't hear you, and you can't cast in here. I feel like maybe you could get across a message that I should dismiss my spell, but isn't that an action, and I don't think Azarra would choose to do that rather than try to keep killing Jandark when she doesn't really know why. Maybe we need to rethink this with the silence in mind... perhaps you need to cast outside the silence circle?)

Sorry. If it is going to explode this round, not sure what to do, but if we have longer, you can get my attention, and if I know that Jandark is done for, I can drop the silence and we can get out. I mean, save yourselves for sure... if my character dies killing Jandark she will consider it an appropriate way to go out. :)
