willsave: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Don't have the scenario with me atm, but this should be more than enough!

The mercenary manages to save against the sleepspell.

Alexia
Liadain
Devil's Claw G
Flaming Skeleton
Talwin
Devil's Claw P
Norine
Janks
Ebon
Targost

What about the other two mercs' saves? Sleep has a 10-foot radius, so it should hit all three...

Though strange skeletons are exploding into flames all around her, Liadain manages to stay focused and confident. Her buckler deflects the worst of the flames, importantly keeping her face from being damaged. Still, much to the aasimar's chagrin, the edge of her cape is slightly singed, and she gasps in exaggerated outrage. "Oh, now that is the last straw!"

My action really depends on what happens with sleep. So I'd rather wait and see what happens with that.

What about the other two mercs' saves? Sleep has a 10-foot radius, so it should hit all three...

1st you cannot hit all three without getting partymembers in there. (see the blue template)

1st wouldn't matter because it affects those nearest the origin first (assuming equal HD), but your second point explains it!

Rapier: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 = 26 Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Crit Conf: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 1 = 16 Crit Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Taking revenge on her poor, charred cloak, Liadain's blade flashes momentarily with rainbow energy before deeply penetrating into one of the aggressors' chests.

Free: Maintain inspire courage
Swift: Activate arcane strike
Standard: Attack the green merc

Actually, distance is only the 'tie-breaker': "Creatures with the fewest HD are affected first. Among creatures with equal HD, those who are closest to the spell's point of origin are affected first." So a bunch of 1 HD critters would go first while a 2 HD critter at the center might be completely unaffected as a result.

Liadain hits, but doesn't crit.

Ghosting Alexia.

Alexia moves forward and uses her wand to cure Ebon.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

The Devil Claw mercenary attacks Liadain.

To hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Hits for Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

The last skeleton charges Alexia

To hit: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 2 = 13 hits

damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 but deals a minimal amout of damage
fire: 1d6 ⇒ 1 and that the claw is burning doesn't bother Alexia at all.

Talwin is up!

Talwin
Devil's Claw P
Norine
Janks
Ebon
Targost
Liadain
Alexia
Devil's Claw G
Flaming Skeleton

Talwin takes a step south, holding his club in a two-handed grip ad tries to smash the last skeleton!

Club, inspire: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 1 = 17
Damage, Inspire: 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8

Talwin smashes the last skeleton and it explodes in a burst of flame

fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Mercenary tries to take down Ebon

To Hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 hits & threat
confirm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 doesn't confirm
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Norine channels and cures all allies for channel: 5 = 5

Janks tries to tumble away and flank Norine

acrobatics: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

then he tries to stab Norine

To hit: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 2 = 12

Bold is up!

Ebon
Targost
Liadain
Alexia
Devil's Claw G
Talwin
Devil's Claw P
Norine
Janks

Tired of missing the agile Janks, Targost fires a magic missile at him in the hopes of slowing him down.

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Irritated by the lack of effectiveness of her spells, Alexia wades into combat. Her hair snakes out ahead of her, seeking the throat of her opponent.

Alexia vs. Devil's Claw: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage (hair): 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Wincing profusely from the newest wound incurred, Liadain backs away, turning her attentions to the leader--with whom she has a rather large bugbear indeed. Whipping her arms into the air, she says with some gusto, "I'm not one for comedy normally, but I think we need some slapstick in this performance!" With a flourish and a few choice arcane words, a splash of filthy, sticky, yellowish liquid appears in the air above Janks and immediately falls towards him.

Casting grease on Janks' weapon. DC 14 Ref negates.

With the 5 for 3 exchange then -8 from attack, +8 from clw and channel, Ebon is currently at 16
Taking a 5' step to the north east (diagonal) Ebon sets himself up to flank with Norine, tho he isn't sure if she has a weapon out.
Raged attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 +2 more if Norine is eligible top flank
damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 1) + 7 = 12
threat confirm: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
crit damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 6) + 7 = 17
"Die worthless scum!" He cries as he slashes with an over hand stroke through the mercenary's middle.

Targost magic missle hits!
Alexia's hair doesnt beat the Devil's Claw's defenses

Jenks reflex: 20 + 8 = 28
"Your skills are laughable indeed!" Jenks taunts the Bard as he easily evades the grease.

Ebon's rage finally results in a solid hit and the Devil's Claw mercenary is severely injured.

The other sellsword moves in to extract revenge
to hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14 but misses.

GM, that wasn't a 1d20 roll... haha. It was a 20+8

Talwin drops his club, switching to his dagger as he circles around to flank a Devil's Claw with Ebon. He slashes at he warrior!

Mithral Dagger, inspire, flanking: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 1 + 2 = 18

GM, that wasn't a 1d20 roll... haha. It was a 20+8

Actually that was a 1D20 roll. Stupid system is case sensitive

reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

"Oops!" and Jenks sword is greased an slips out of his hand!

The badly hurt Devil Claw drops his sword and steps away from the foaming barbarian. "We surrender!"

"No, we don't! Keep on fighting or I'll kill you myself!" Jenks spits at the deserter.

Suddenly finding herself face-to-face with Janks, Norine swipes defensively at him with her morningstar, moving backwards behind Ebon to set up a potential flank.
AC23 (22+1 for the sanctified shield)
Morningstar, fighting defensively: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 6

Drawing an AoO from Janks (moved up diagonally, over 2, down 1).

Jenks has no melee weapon in hand so he doesn't take an AoO.

Jenks picks up the sword the badly injured devil's claw dropped and looks around for a potential target.

(5' step, pick up item, ready)

Again Targost slams a magic missile into Jenks.

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Alexia tries again with her hair, this time aiming for Jenks.

Alexia vs. Jenks: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage (hair): 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Targost shoots a magic missle at Jenks and hurts him lightly.

Alexia steps up to attack Jenks, but Jenks was ready so he attacks the witch and critically hits the witch.

To hit: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
Confirm: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Damage: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (8, 1) + 2 = 11

"I like this sword!"

The witch attacks him with her hair and manages to deal some damage.

"Agh! Damn it to the Nine Hells, that hurt!" Alexia shrieks as the sword finds its mark. "I'll kill you with my bare hands!" the witch screams at Jenks.

Spinning in place, Ebon swings a wild slash at the next mercenary, missing in his haste to turn....
flanking,raged attack on Dude G: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 13
damage: 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (1, 2) + 7 = 10
" Keep laughing Monkey Boy! As soon as I finish your playmate here, I'll be giving my attention to you...."

Ghosting Liadain

Looking firmly at the still fighting Devil's Claw soldier "It started 6 versus 3, now it's 6 versus 2, guess what's next!".

Intimidate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Free: Maintain inspire courage
Standard: Intimidate

The mercenary seems demoralized as he steps away from Liadain and attacks Ebon

To Hit: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 2 = 15 Misses

Devil's Claw P

Talwin steps over and continues to press the attack against the Devil's Claw mercenary.

Dagger, flanking & inspire: 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 18

Alexia draws her wand of cure light wounds and taps herself.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Talwin strikes, but yet again the defenses of the heavily armoured mercenary are too hard to overcome.

The wounded mercenary tries to make a run for it. "Coward!" Janks shouts and tries to cut the deserter down.

Janks AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 Misses horribly.

Norine steps back behind Ebon, casting from her wand and healing up some of his grievous wounds.

Norine heals up Ebon

Again Targost unleashes a bolt of magical energy at Janks.

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

"I'll be with you shortly little man" Jenks tells Targost.

Jenks moves to Flank Ebon and strikes!

To hit: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 = 16 hits for
To hit: 1d8 + 1 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + 1 + (5, 4) = 18 damage

Nearly falling when struck by Jenks, Ebon spits blood and takes a 5' step to his left, trying to hammer down the remaining merc.
attack with rage and inspire: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 1 = 10
damage: 2d6 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2) + 7 + 1 = 13
" Aaahhhh!!!!"
And screams as he pulls the wound open more, missing terribly.
Current raging hp's 7, 3rounds left of rage, OWWWW!! Also DM Ebon has die hard so won't fall when below zero...He will however drop like a rock at -14.

Attack (Flank, Inspire): 1d20 + 5 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 5 + 2 + 1 = 20
Damage (Inspire, Arcane Strike): 1d6 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5

Liadain swiftly dodges around Alexia and thrusts into Janks with her rapier glimmering with magic. "Why won't you just give up already?!"

Only got a few more rounds of inspire courage left, guys...

The remaining soldier of fortune tries to cut down the babarian

To Hit: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 - 2 = 25
confirm: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 7 - 2 = 16

Devil's Claw G

Hah! Current HP:-9, 2 rounds of rage left, at which point if I'm not already...dead. Can't cast to heal myself without dropping rage, when I'll die before I can heal, soooo... Looks like the end for Ol' Ebon....TT But he's going out in character and style! XD. Also in case it matters Ebon chose disabled not dying , when reduced to negative Hp's.
EDIT
Thanks Talwin, that puts him at -3 til his rage ends, then still up at -9. However he can't attack or take any standard actions except healing or he loses another point each time. Tough fight.

We'll see about that. I can lend a hand.

Talwin steps out of the melee and puts a hand on Ebon's back, casting a spell.

CLW: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Norine attempts to dodge behind Ebon again, then redirects the energy from one spell to another, much more pressing cure spell!

Drawing potential AoOs from Jenks and the mercenary.
Trading Consecrate for Cure Moderate Wounds/
Cure Moderate Wounds: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 7) + 3 = 14

So, 14 there. Did you get the ealier +9 Norine healed him for?
