The Mute Hag (Sonnorae suffers a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and damage rolls with her natural weapons)
The Empty Throne (+2 to Perception and Survival while in this location)
The Uprising does not work in this situation.
---
The mute hag shuffles over to her writing desk and begins scribbling you a note:
Mortals! How interesting. I hold a token. If you wish to have it, I will trade my Black Nib for one heart, one tongue, and two eyes taken from a mortal.
Not likely. She writes. She then continues after a pause:
If you do not wish to offer up your own parts or those of your animals, then bring my original parts back by cutting them from the Conspirators. The Barrow King's heart, Bernaditi's tongue, and the Ticktock Man's eyes.

"Yeah, sister, that just ain't going to happen," says Fletch, dropping his bow and quick-drawing his sword. "In fact, you just failed the 'Fletch Test'."
Fletch attacks.
Romulus moves in to flank the hag.
I didn't roll any attacks because I don't know what you want to do with Initiative or Surprise.
No chance of surprise when you're standing facing each other. Just who can react quicker, based on initiative. I've placed you all on the map near her.
Sonnorae's remains are about to write a response to Ace when she stands up suddenly, provoked by Fletch's words! She quickly casts an invisibility spell and disappears from sight!
You know she was standing near the writing desk at the center of the ring when she cast it though.
even with scent there is still total concealment for invisibility. The only thing is that he knows, is if the creature is in a side square and which one. If the creature is not in a side square of him, he knows the direction, with a move action.
Why, when we could have information and try not to go to a fight someone is always ready to go for it... it makes my job a less easier
Tolgarov seeing the creature being invisible, decided to take a step back 5ft. step and cast see invisibility

Hawk steps backward and casts a spell, then looks for the hag, inorder to point out her position.

Description
Sharpening your perceptive abilities and tuning them against obfuscating effects, hunter’s eye greatly enhances your senses against the target creature. You gain the ability to perceive the target when it is invisible or ethereal as though using the see invisibility spell, and receive a +20 competence bonus on Perception checks to locate the target. You ignore concealment provided by fog or mist, blur, displacement, invisibility, and similar effects affecting the target, but not concealment provided by darkness. This spell provides no benefits to your allies, and no benefits against creatures other than the target.
Romulus seems to bite into something near the edge of the stone ring! Fletch then follows behind his wolf and swings in the same direction but misses. Only the first attacks go off since you both had to move.
Tolgarov and Hawk then cast spells that allow them to see the hag! I've put her on the map but only they can see her right now.
Male Elf Magus (Bladebound) [9.1] | HP 63/63 | AC 28 T 18 FF 22 | F +9 R +11 W +9 | CMB +7 CMD 25 | Init +8 | Perc +14 (low-light vision) | Acro/EA/Fly +8 | Climb/Swim/SM +3
Maldoc, having been told the current position of the hag, casts Intensified Shocking Grasp (damage if/when hits):8d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 5, 1, 5, 1, 4, 1) = 26 and moves up to strike with his Black Blade!
Black Blade:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35 for Damage:1d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 Miss Chance, high is good:1d100 ⇒ 59 Confirm?:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (7) + 17 = 24 for Damage:1d6 + 10 + 8d6 ⇒ (5) + 10 + (4, 1, 2, 5, 2, 1, 1, 3) = 34
Kirrah's bite is not terribly effective against the invisihag. Maldoc hits her but the electricity doesn't seem to do much. What + value is your Black Blade? I'm guessing it's not +3 to count as cold iron.
The hag steps back and comes out of invisibility as she finishes her spell!
empowered cone of cold cold damage:14d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 1, 1, 2, 3, 6, 3, 5, 4, 6, 6, 1, 1) = 48 + 50% = 72 total cold damage
DC 19 Ref for half; hits everyone!
Ace is caught in the blast and frozen solid. He is encased in a solid tomb of ice. The life fades from his eyes as the ice shatters and his limp body falls to the ground.
He reaches his hand into the air as a loud twang of glorious music emanates from him as a chorus of rats surrounds his body and begins squeaking in time. His ratling familiar closes his eyes as the lute falls from his hand, clattering on the ground.
His ratling familiar, Hanspur, scurries away into the Harrow Realm as the rats lift him up and carry him around on their backs.

So she doesn't need to roll concentration after being hit? And no, the Black Blade is +2 I believe. Oh, and I just noticed I forgot to take the -2 for Spellstrike in those rolls.
Reflex:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24
Maldoc manages to dodge some of the cold! He then uses a swift action to additionally enhance his Black Blade (now its +4) and attacks! Full Attack plus Haste.
Black Blade:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35 for Damage:1d6 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 Black Blade:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37 for Damage:1d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 Black Blade:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23 for Damage:1d6 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Doh! Well, I tried and the song was ending either way. :(. Pardon me for looking at your sheet, but do you have cold resist 5? I believe that would put damage at 67 and you at -10hp ?
Kirrah quickly moves around Fletch and tries again to bite the hag.
She was invisible when she cast the spell and the two people who could see her weren't close, hence no defensive casting on her spell. I think she was also able to 5' step back iirc.
I'm going to wait on confirmation from Ace because unless he traded it for something else I think as an aasimar he has cold resistance and might still be alive. If he's alive, Fendahl's action is to heal but if not Fendahl can change his action.

Fendahl will either heal Ace and move, or if too late, will move to Hawk and cure him instead.
So either way he is trying to revive one or the other while Kirrah works to distract the hag. .
Fendahl will wait to see how the scorching Rays do before he acts. He knows if she survives (likely) and calls another cold blast, the party will be missing at least 4 people...

So Fletch should see the approximate location of the hag based upon Tolgarov's and Fendahl's attacks. Is it more than a 5' step away? Can he and Romulus try to flank?

Maldoc forgoes spells and takes advantage of the extra speed given to his attacks! Add +2 if I have the benefit of flanking with whoever's companion that is. Also I'll use another arcane point to keep the weapon enhancement.

@Maldoc: Unless I am mistaken (which is wholly possible), spending an arcane point grants the bonus for a minute, so you wouldn't need to spend another.

Here is where a channel healing would have been really handy
Fendahl, not impressed with Kirrah or the other combatants ability to take out the hag, and not trusting he would do much better with her, reaches down to tap Ace with a wand and then moves back.
clw:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
"Ace! Wake up! You either need to take out the hag, revive Hawk or get clear.
If she blasts again, it will not go well.
I fear you came much closer to visiting your ancestors than you will ever know!"
Fendahl will move back a full 50' from the combat to regroup.
In a case like this I revert to the actual rolled initiative order, which is the order the names are listed. So Fendahl acts after Ace, which unfortunately means Ace does not get an action this round.
Fendahl heals Ace a bit as the mute hag Sonnorae comes out of invisibility casting again her spell of subzero destruction.
