With that I assume surprise is over and Orell will ready to shoot the damned thing as soon as it clears the hole.

What you know-if you can pass a linguistics check DC 20-you can paralyze him, hurt him, and possibly knock him out. YOu have to pass the check. You can use that as many times as you want, but it does take your standard action to do so...
You could attempt to make him bind an oath to you, but he might want something in return....

Still want the combat to being?

"You won't harm anyone on Golarion, including us, while we live. That is the deal we offer you for your freedom!"

This was Yasmin's offer. If that is rejected she does not mind if it comes to combat

"Perhaps you all are right...let us dispatch this fiend."

I am ok with combat.

Finn paralyze this thing and lets finish it

The creature in the pit growls loudly, then jumps up the last few rungs. It looks around with hate in its eyes...

Round 1, FIGHT!
Orell Destiny: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Seeing it for the first time, Solvi attempts to identify it, particularly whatever DR it may have

Right, no idea at all, obviously :-(

HE'll throw magic fang on Bissis bite attack. Bissi will then go in and try and fight the thing

Shriek also attempts to identify the creature and starts his percussion inspire courage drawing his longsword for fighting.

Finn gives the fiend the Evil Eye!

Evil Eye, DC 15 Will
Fail: -2 AC for 7 rounds
Succeed: -2 AC for 1 round

Edit: Called out fail and success

Orell Samuel, Finn, and the cat all jump into the fray. The demon goes down in a hail of arrows, claws, and teeth. It begins to evaporate and rot on the spot....

well that was quick!

You are left in a cold empty room. The name on the wall begins to slowly fade.

what happens next?

Orell spits on the fading name and reloads the crossbow with a smile to Shriek and Solvi and a scratch behind the ear for Bissi. well done, lets finish this

Yasmin blinks twice "You are all very efficient..."

and she looks inside the pit from where the fiend came.

You look into the pit. It's full of *stuff*, but you don't see anything of interest or value.

I'll assume you go to the next room. as their is only one place left to go!

You leave the last room and continue through the hall to the last room you can see. Six stone slabs sit on the floor of this chamber. Heaped upon each are metal tools, gears, springs, and other parts for the construction of mechanical creations. You notice a few things in this room-1) all the clockwork is worth money as its in nice condition 2) there is a secret door out of the room...

following the secret door

You continue in this dark corridor, after turning a few corners you see that there are two open passages out off the main corridor. The closest one has some faint light pulsing from it.

Where to next?

"Lets go up this closest passage first, shall we?"

"Agreed...I'm curious as to where that light is coming from..."

Cast detect magic. Does the light seem magical?

Yasmin searches for traps at the door with the pulsing light and if there are none opens it.

You move toward the closest room. It opens up into a smaller room where an iron gate hangs ajar. The room within is bare, except for a conjuration circle of silvery metal inlaid in the stone floor and a small, rickety table on which sits a thin journal. Inside the circle hovers a plump human infant and a gigantic, gore-fattened fly. The creature looks at you and says in a cute voice, You're not the master. What have you done?

"More weird monsters? The wizard was a jerk"

"Who and what are you? We have done nothing to the master. He is, however, dead"

Shriek uses detect magic and muses "Abjuration..."

Then talks with the creature "No. We are sorry to tell you he has passed away. We are here now looking to sort his stuff. We can perhaps help you and explain you all that happened"
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

"Why are you hovering?"

Study target

Sense motive: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 2 = 8

what unholy damn thing now??! Again Orell prepares the blast the thing.

"What is that???"

Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
Knowledge (planes): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

As soon as the little ..."thing" hears that the master is dead it says in its sad child voice Oh dear, oh dear oh deary dear! What happened? I home he entered the depths of hell where he will be punished according to his many sins.. but alas I hope things are ok...Any way. I am a accusing devil. To answer you question pointing at Yasmin I float because it's hard to walk with my stubby legs! I was summoned for his research and kept in this prison according to the deal he created with my master. I answer questions for him. I mean you no harm. Neither master has ordered me to do so, and I would prefer to leave. There are many to accuse and sins to be tallied. oh dear oh dear oh dear so much work to do across so many dimensions! Would you like me to tabulate your sins while I am here?

sense motive: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

"You are an evil devil who is trying to deceive us with half truths. You want us to sin more than we already do.

Lets just kill it"

Only if the rest of the group agrees to kill it :

bite: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 1 = 31 for magical damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4trip: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 1 = 15
claw: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25 for damage: 1d2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
claw: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27 for damage: 1d2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

"You really don't like bugs, huh Solvi?", Finn says with a grin.

kill it you say?

Orell will delay as he only has one grit left for the day until it seems low on hp and then shoot it to try and regain a grit.

kill it: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Solvi acts quickly and so does Orell. Solvi sends the cat into the circle and the carnage begins. The cat uses as much force as it can, but it doesn't make a dent in the demon. Orell shots quickly, but unfortunately shoots a bit too short.

FIGHT!

Fight order!
Orell Destiny: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Solvi: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Devil: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Samuel Soulkeeper: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Finn Lochlan: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

"Grrr!" Shriek readies his sword and starts an inspiring percussion!
+1 to hit/damage and +1 vs charm and fear

Orell curses for missing and reloads this round

Bissi tries again, this time inspired

bite: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 1 + 1 = 17 for magical damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 6 trip: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 1 + 1 = 21
claw: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 1 = 18 for damage: 1d2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4
claw: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 12 + 1 = 17 for damage: 1d2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Very little damage (if any) but hopefully tripped it at least.

Solvi casts a spell at it (Ear Piercing Scream)

damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Spell Resistance: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Fort Save DC 16. If fail, stunned for 1 round, If succeed, 1/2 above damage

Samuel Soulkeeper: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 Sings the songs of his people
Finn Lochlan: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Orell let's his hands do their trick to reload the arrows.

Bissi hits harder this time doing some damage. It's not much but the bite definitely punches through skin and takes the little bugger down.
The child/fly thing lets out a child's scream of pain WAAAAA

The devil attempts to avoid the spell
devil fort save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
The devil'scream stops as he's catatonic on the floor stunned

Samuel strikes up the band and stars the wild dance of fury!
Who's next?

Finn hexes the devil!

Evil Eye DC 15 Will
Fail? -2 AC for 7 rounds
Succeed? -2 AC for 1 round

Bissi fishes for crits :-)

bite: 1d20 + 12 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 1 + 1 = 30 for magical damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5 trip: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 1 + 1 = 23

claw: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 1 = 33 for damage: 1d2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Solvi will try a cold iron arrow (yeah, its prone)

tohit: 1d20 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 1 - 4 = 5

Well, that was productive :-(

Yasmin steps past the devil, into a flanking position and slashes once

Attack, Flank: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 14
Damage, sneak attack + study: 1d8 + 4 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + (1) + 1 = 7

Enraged by his own song, Shrieks jaws enlarge and he uses them to bite his foe along with an attempt to cut him with his longsword.
mwk cold iron longsword+IR: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9
Cold iron/Slashing damage+IR: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10

Bite+IR: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
B/S/P damage+IR: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Just remembered the new power makes that Inspired Rage gives a Bite natural attack to anybody accepting the rage!

Orell puts the crossbow away after its loaded and then casually draws his two handed sword and advances into the throng of melee

Round 1-so far
Orell Destiny: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 RELOAD!
Solvi: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 Send in the cat and spells

Yasmin strikes the prone devil. It cuts deep, but bearly scratches the surface.

The devil attempts the save against the evil eye will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

Samuel Soulkeeper: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 swing and bite
Finn Lochlan: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Orell advances on the small prone figure.

Solvi has the cat bite, claw, and tear at the small creature in the circle. The cat hits, and skids the creature around, but doesn't hurt it. Solvi himself shoots, but misses slightly.

The devil yells out Now let's start to play! And with that the small creature becomes invisible!

Samuel swings and bites at the air, but his rage clouds his mind and he misses the monster.

Yasmin quickly walks back to the door of the room and closes it

Orell will swing where he thinks the damn thing was

two handed death: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

high you die: 1d100 ⇒ 98

did I get it: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 5) + 1 = 11

"Argh! Nice trick beast!" roars Shriek while he attempts to slash and bite where he thinks the creature is now.

Sovli tries to push Bissi to use the Seek trick
handle animal: 1d1 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Bissi looks very confused and proceeds to groom himself

We are in C16, right?

Finn sees the creature disappear. Not able to target it anymore with hexes. He casts guidance on the person closest to him.

Round 2!
Orell Destiny: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 Slashes into the creature
Solvi: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 Send in the cat and shoots

Finn Lochlan: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 Guidance

Orell cuts the little bugger hard. It lets out another sicking baby cry WAAAHH

Yasmin keeps the creature contained by blocking the door. The room is an open area, but she's standing in the only way out.

Samuel swings but misses twice at the creature in the air.

Finn boosts the party, making the next person to swing better at their job.

Round 3
Orell Destiny: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Solvi: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 Cat scratch feaver

Samuel Soulkeeper: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Finn Lochlan: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

The cat ignores the owner as he's obviously gone crazy to point and scream at the air.

FIGHT!

Yasmin swings her sword slowly, making sure it goes past the open space in front of her often enough to block the way.

Not sure if that requires some rolls. Aiming to keep it in, so the others can kill it

die you damned thing, die Orell swings at the spot one more time hoping he is too fast and it still hasnt moved.

thundercats go!: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

high, you die: 1d100 ⇒ 98

sword to the face: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7

Has it attacked us this round?

Solvi again attempts to get Bissi to point out where the thing is

handle animal: 1d30 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Close, but no cigar

"Grrr! This is not really working! We need to find out a different strategy!" groars Shriek slashing again two times at the air.
