Sahba peeks out from the tree she's hiding behind long enough to let loose a line of flame.
If I'm still threatened, after it's been hit by Fauxish (AoO) and Marduk, this is cast defensively. Concentration(defensively)+combat casting vs DC 17:1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 4 = 14 Elemental Ray (RT), 2 of 7:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16 Dmg:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Fauxish throws an elbow at the Kuru warrior as it charges past, but the fog throws off his aim.
Mikail Fog Concealment >20=hit :1d100 ⇒ 100
Mikail dashes in with his rapier and stabs the other warrior in the side. Fauxish was still in a flanking position when your attack happened, so you hit, but concealment prevents sneak attacks.
Faerin Fog Concealment >20=hit :1d100 ⇒ 99
Faerin moves up and gives the Kuru a blow to the leg with her hammer. It grunts, but does not fall.
Marduk Fog Concealment >20=hit :1d100 ⇒ 55 Marduk Fog Concealment >20=hit :1d100 ⇒ 94 Marduk Fog Concealment >20=hit :1d100 ⇒ 20
Marduk joins the fight in a flurry of swinging axe blades and gnashing teeth on the Kuru facing Sahba. His first blow cuts across its belly. The second takes it in the chest. His teeth miss as the fog wisps past his eyes, but as it clears again he finds the warrior bleeding out at his feet.
Fauxish Fog Concealment >20=hit :1d100 ⇒ 14
Fauxish swings a backhand at the other warrior, but again the fog prevents an accurate blow. Redirected your attack since the other was down.
Nectanebo's creepy creature rises and attacks, but cannot get its claws past armor into flesh.
Sahba throws another ray, but too many allies are in the way and it misses. -4 for soft cover and another -4 for enemy in melee.
More Kuru break from the fog, charging into battle!
The fog interferes with their vision and some lose sight of their targets and miss the chance to savor fresh meat. Fauxish, unfortunately, is bitten twice, and another Kuru bursts out next to Nectanebo's creature and completely smashes it back into inanimate remains.

Nectanebo winces at his fleeting friend's anticlimactic demise. "It does give one or more new meanings to the phrase 'keeping your lunch down,' I guess," He says as he advances on the cannibal with his scythe...

I'll try to bring more attention on Marduk
GM, I have a question. You said in your post earlier that "Creatures within 15–20 feet from an observer have concealment (20% miss chance)" but you made us roll the miss chance even if we were 5 feet away from our enemies. Shouldn't we only have to roll it 15-20 feet away?
Marduk spits on his opponent's face. "Let the weak alone, coward and come fight the REAL challenge!" and swings her axe at the nearer Kuru warrior's face.
Faerin calls out to her companions now.
"Rally to me and stay behind me. Bring our wounded and Let me at them. Torag bless me now."
She brings up her hammer and shield and begins striking in ernest, her hammer now ore in a defensive position.
Attack, fighting defensiviy. 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 2 = 61d8 ⇒ 41d100 ⇒ 83
Edit.....I'm awesome....Never had a melee class char roll that badly...
Regarding concealment: I think I misunderstood my own post, Marduk has it right. Concealment only happens at 15-20 feet (which is sort of confusing, but whatever). Quick retcon...
Mikail's Sneak Attack Damage :1d6 ⇒ 5
The fog confuses the battle. Kuru scream, lunging in with teeth and club from the north and east. Fauxish's elbow cracks a skull and Mikail's blade sinks deeper. Fauxish takes a wound from one warrior and stumbles about, holding a wound. He nearly passed out, but manages to hold on. The warrior attacking Mikail gets lucky and sinks teeth into his arm.
Somehow the Kuru facing him has fallen, and isn't getting back up.
Fauxish, you took out one of the Kuru before it could attack. Regain 10 hp.
Mikail, you got hit. Take 8 hp damage. Also, roll your attack this round since there is no miss chance at close range.
Though their attacks are furious, only one manages to get its teeth into anyone. Unfortunately, it's Fauxish, and the Kuru's vicious teeth rip a chunk from his arm. Blood loss puts him in the edge of blacking out. Looks like he's staggered.
@Sahba: since you are last in the initiative I will redirect if those two fall before you finish casting. Also, keep in mind you still have a normal action this round.
Faerin takes the blow from the club adn repays it with her own swing, her hammer coming around from the side powered by powerful arms, to slam into its side.
Taken 9.
Attack with Hammer 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 201d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 "How is everyone else doing?"
Fauxish lands a perfect blow, knocking out a few of the Kuru's sharpened teeth. They both stumble from the exchange, but only the Kuru remains standing.
The Kuru looks down at Fauxish, but others are still a threat. He lunges at Marduk, but his club glanced off armor and his teeth are held at bay.

So, Sahba took 5 dmg from a Kuru who provoked against Fauxish who hit, but missed from concealment, and then ended up not missing. Did it fall before getting to me, or did the hit happen? I want to make sure I've got everything proper.
Sahba touches Fauxish with her restorative wand. He gains fast healing 1; restores 1 hp/rnd for 10 rnds. (First charge used!)
Mikail walks up to Sahba and offers her his wand of CLW. "We can use this to make sure everyone is up to snuff, if you like." I know that I need some healing, and will share if the rest of yall need it.
Once Sahba heals him up, Mikail looks through the belongings of the dead barbarians.
Perception:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 Wow... I need some new dice over here, please!! Taking 10 for 16
Faerin looks around and shakes her head, calling upon her own power to heal her self.
I can't use it either as my archetype gives it up. This puts us into a different quandry I see.....
Lay on Hands 1d6 ⇒ 3
Sorry, I think it's far past the time for a reasonable retcon. You are not completely without resources, and on the plus side, this will be very exciting now!
Each Kuru carries a crude club and wears hide armor. You also find half a dozen trinkets - fanciful hand-sized shapes of twisted precious metal probably worth near 75 gp to a collector.
Just to the east you find their camp in a clearing, shrouded in shadows thanks to the thick jungle canopy overhead. A dozen makeshift beds of leaves and palm fronds surround a sickly campfire that barely manages to keep smoldering in the humid air. A few splintered bones and cloven skulls litter the clearing, and all show signs of being gnawed upon.
One more kuru is here. He sits motionless, vacant-eyed and drooling.
Good point, Faerin.. but it was worth a try!
Stowing his wand away, Mikail cautiously approaches the lone Kuru. "What do you think is wrong with him??" he asks the party, drawing his rapier and holding it ready just in case.
The last Kuru does not respond to any efforts to get its attention. It displays no apparent injuries beyond the signs of starvation, but that doesn't seem enough to explain its current state.

Nectanebo looks quizzically at the transfixed Kuru for only a moment before drawing his mysterious giant pearl back from out of his coat. He stares into it for a moment, and the color of his eyes seems to become more intense. He then repositions it, looking at the Kuru through it.
I give myself heightened awareness for the next 10 minutes, then view the frozen Kuru with detect magic.
If there happen to be any relevant Knowledge checks one could make here, let me know.

"That is a nice wand you have there. How do you make it work?"
Sahba has no UMD, so she can't help you use it. She is willing, however, to use her sorcerer's wand.
Retcon flashback because I failed to put two and two together earlier.
Nectanebo gently takes Mikail's wand off Sabha's hands and looks it over with an expert's eye. "There are many ways that might make it work. I know several. It's an art in its own right, really."

Well, let me put it this way: Starting next level, I'll start getting a bonus equal to half my level on all Use Magic Device checks.
I WILL need to be making checks for this, though. At present, the only spells I can cast as though they're on my list is a limited range of Divination and Necromancy spells (this will expand as I acquire new Implements). Of course, the cure wounds spells ought to be in the Necromancy school, but that's not the way it is for some ill-considered reason....
