Round 0: Zombies approach, Andor and Roldala destroy the first one (Black); second one (White) steps forward to fill the gap. A man dressed in the garb of the Asmodeus faith runs up to the double doors and realizing they're already opened, smiles, and waves to three other Asmodeans to come through the door after him.
Round 1 [bold may go]
Edmund [shoots an arrow, which is conveniently enhanced against undead, but misses nonetheless!!]
Asmodeans [all walk through the opened double door the way you came from; all of them smile at Andor, one even saluting him as he says, 'it was nice to know you, pal!']
SK2
Red
Andor
Roldala
Zombies [Black: destroyed; White/Turquoise/Blue/Brown: 0]
Reactive Perception (first roll in your next post if you decide to roll it) DC 15; Edmund and Red at -2 due to distance:
All the zombies are wearing burned nobles' outfits, two of them wear a Victocora signet ring baked unto their charred fingers!
Intelligence DC 20 or Knowledge Nobility DC 15 if you make Perception:
Andor immediately sees the Victocora signet ring and recognizes Rexus parents but he pushes the thought away! First we have to deal with this threat!
Andor steps back and drinks his extract of 'reduce person'. Suddenly, he has the size of a Halfling.
Andor is ready to parry and reposte.
Reduce Person leads to AC of 19, +2 to hit and + 1 to damage due to +1 (small size) AC/to hit and +1 (+2 dex) AC/to hit/damage
Parry/Reposte :
In case Andor is attacked he uses 'Opportune Parry' and parries by expending an AoO to parry and spends a panache point (so if the attack roll of the opponent is lower than Andor's parry then the opponent does not hit and Andor could potentially reposte).

Lips peeled back in a snarl, Roldala steps back a pace to get proper distance, before slamming her hammer into through the next zombie to pass the door.

Red jumps immediately into combat roaring as he attempts to get the heat off Andor! "RRAAAAARRRRR!!!!" He sinks his teeth into the skeletons neck and tries to rip his head off.
Blue is really dead now... no longer 'un'-dead... if you know what I mean... ... ...and Red has the taste of charred meat that has gone... sour? in his mouth now... it tastes bad.
I will do the zombies' post tomorrow --> Edmund and Edmund only: go ahead and do your post in preparation for your turn in Round 2; assume the zombies will keep coming through that opening by Red, but understand that they will all have their turn before yours.
As his hand drops off the string, he signals for Kissan to move across the door way and towards Edmund's exposed flank.
I am not sure whether to read Edmund only as "Edmund the only PC", or "Edmund, not Kissan" so I will leave Kissan's 10 ft movement/readied attack off until clarified.
A female zombie wearing a noble's evening dress and a signet ring surge forward over the fallen undead bodies.
1=SK2; 2=Red:1d2 ⇒ 2
The zombie attacks red!
slam:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20 for 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 bludgeoning dmg. less 1 due to DR
Edmund shoots an arrow at the newly arrived female zombie- the arrow lands in her shoulder, forcing her arms back away from Red momentarily, but not enough to completely stop the zombie's rampage.

Kissan looks at Edmund with incredulous eyes and stays put at his current spot.
RETCON due to extra Rebellion Rank: Kissan obeys and places herself near the statue, ready to attack any hostiles coming her master's way.
The doors west of Kissan open, and the four Asmodeans stream in, angling for Kissan. The first one (black) get a nasty bite from Kissan, but weathers the wound, retaliating with a nasty downwards punch on the jaguar's head!
Kissan fangs dig deep into yellow's right leg main artery, and the disciplined Asmodean monk cannot help but scream upon realizing his life is seriously in jeopardy. Their iron discipline is enough to drive them to still attempt their attacks home to Kissan however.
unarmed strike, stunning fist:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 [MISS]
unarmed strike, stunning fist:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 [HIT!] for 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 bludgeoning dmg and Fort DC 11 or stunned for 1 round.
Kissan Fort DC 11:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 [SUCCESS!]
You hear someone uttering strange infernal syllables near purple, and suddenly the wounds on black start closing!
Cure Light Wounds:1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Zombies [Black/Blue: destroyed; Turquoise -5 White/Brown: 0]
Andor is feeling the surge of battle and is very comfortable in his small size. He feels like a litte Halfling and prays to Chaldira to protect his allies!
He steps forward (5 ft step) and attacks the yellow dressed opponent with his Rapier.
In case Andor is attacked he uses 'Opportune Parry' and parries by expending an AoO to parry and spends a panache point (so if the attack roll of the opponent is lower than Andor's parry then the opponent does not hit and Andor could potentially reposte).
Does it appear that the female zombie took extra damage from the holy balm arrow? Thank you for the gracious ret-con (and the great rolls from Kissan!)

Red licks his wound in a manner that suggest he takes some grim satisfaction from the attack as he grins slyly revealing his teeth. "Rrr..YOU DEAD NOW!...RRAARR!" He steps over the fallen zombie and rages like and pounces on them with the fury of an animal!
5foot step, Rage, and Full Round attack! Target white first.
Seeing the purple garbed enemy appear to cast a spell, Edmund steps back and levels his bow at the threat- waiting until he sees signs of movement or hears infernal speech.
5 ft move. Readied attack against purple, trigger: casting a spell
Edmund is fairly certain that purple's lips didn't move, and purple didn't touch black either- does Edmund wishes to reconsider his action? Even though Edmund is not a spellcaster, it's fairly obvious that purple didn't cast a spell. Just that the spellcasting seems to have occured near him...
Then yes, he would. He does cast divine spells- but doesn't have any ranks in spellcraft. He will instead shoot at the black creature (not readied). He has precise shot, so no penalty firing into melee. Cover dependent on GM discretion so I will leave it in
Edmund's arrow flies wide and Kissan tears a large gash in the female human monk in front of her.
Two of the monks carefully approach Kissan to try to terminate the wild beast's threat. 5-foot step from Blue and Purple; Black, Blue and Purple all flurry against Kissan; Purple's first attack is an attempt to use stunning fist against Kissan.
dmg vs. Kissan:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6 dmg vs. Kissan:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 and Fort Save DC 11 or stunned for 1 round. [KISSAN GOES UNCONSCIOUS AND DYING]
Fort Save Kissan vs. DC 11:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 [STUNNED]
dmg vs. Kissan:1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
The mighty cat goes down in an orgy of bone crunching downward-kicks and dropping elbows, letting out a roar of pain and casting an apologetic glance towards his master...
You hear some more spellcasting nearby, towards the back of the monk's gang, and the large gash Kissan just inflicted in that black-clad female monk starts closing...
Cure Light Wounds:1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
...until it is all closed... ... ...again!

As the Slitheren Kid's firearm roars, fails to make any sort of satisfying noise, Roldala follows it up with a vicious smash from her long-hafted hammer.
For way too many times to her liking during this fight, the black dressed monk's eyes go wide as she is wounded yet again. Staring at Andor's rapier wet with her blood, she says, "Whoever you idiots are, I hope you've made final arrangements with your relatives."
SK2 shoots his silent gun but the monk dodges with a nimble back flip, landing on the tiles with agility... only to see Roldala's hammer split her perfectly shaven head open like a melon. She falls to the ground, dying, her body shaking violently from death throes... Roldala sidesteps into the room to protect SK2.
To the south, you hear the werecrocodile laughing as he easily tears the last zombie to shreds!

Edmund watches his friend and companion fall before him- and he weighs his options before drawing another arrow and releasing it towards the black clad monk.
Hold on Kissan. Hold on just a few seconds longer!
The black clad monk female hits the tile, knocked out in the right temple by Edmund's arrow.
Purple clad monk goes to town on Andor: Please use your correct alias so that I don't go on a fishing expedition to find your stats! ;) unarmed strike, flurry of blows:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20 unarmed strike, flurry of blows:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Andor, thinking the black clad monk is dead or dying, is utterly surprised when she regains consciousness!

Red's claw misses its target, but Andor and Roldala finish the foes standing in the hallway.
BOTTING: SK2 reloads his gun and moves behind Red.

Recognizing a lull in the battle, Edmund frantically tries to push his way forward to the limp body of his friend and companion- producing a wand in his hand while moving.
Sliding on his knees, he taps the wand against the large cat- holding his breath that he isn't too late.
CLW:1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
He grabs her head and cradles her against his chest.
The voice of her master calls to her from a different place. Slowly, his smell begins to fill her nose as her lungs pull in air. Her chest rises once. And then again.
She opens her eyes to see Edmunds face in hers, cradled across his chest- and she gently licks his bearded chin... but is unable to muster much more energy through the now assaulting pain.
Suddenly, for a second, the daylight filtering through the window shutters appears to slow down and... speed of light turns to a crawl... making the entire hallway appears to go dim...
Channel negative energy to deal damage to living creatures:2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4 negative energy dmg to everyone except Edmund; Will DC 13 for 1/2 dmg.1d3 ⇒ 1 (One of the Asmodean monks draws its last breath... the other is still screaming and/or still convulsing...)
Appearing before you near the statue of Aroden down the hall are two identical priests of Asmodeus, smiling. As the Asmodean monks lie screaming and dying from soul stealing energy on loan from the Dark Prince himself, breathing their last breaths, the twin priests speak in unison, with a strange amplitude modulation that hints on yet other unnatural forces at play, "Ask yourselves, heroes, what you are ready to do to defend your ideals. Your... cat... will have my men to thank for when they dutifully guide its beastly form through the gates of Hell."

Just to clean things out I'm going to roll the remaining Will saves and update the round counter below. NOTE: in the future, please always roll saving throws first, then roll for your actions, in chronological order; thank you.

Can't move token on mobile, could someone kindly move me adjacent to andor?
"Raaarr!" Red scowls as he feels the pain. Turning his attention to the clerics, he moves straight towards one brandishing his sharp claws! "RrrrDieee!"
At the taunting from the Priests and the feeling of Kissan going limp in his arms for a second time. "Her name is Kissan, and it took all three of your little minions ganging up on her to do even this!"
He slides to his left, enraged at the though of loosing Kissan for the second time in 12 seconds. He pulls the bowstring to his cheek and lets loose a wild arrow that careens off the wall.
Kissan feels the darkness grab her again- pulling her back down and away from her companion. She struggles against it, but slips back into the darkness of the in-between.
The priest's armor repels the attacks of Red and Roldala. Yes on soft cover with reach weapon
Red notices the two priests are not as spread out as you all once thought, and both are in the same square really. So technically you can walk south of the two priests if you wish - I have adjusted the pawns on the map
The evil twins smile once more, arrogant as ever, "Kissan you say? interesting. You wouldn't believe the value of NAMES in the afterlife... there, mighty Kissan... prepare to serve the Dark Prince..."
The evil twins' strangely modulated voices align perfectly for a moment as an infernal syllable is uttered, and you all once more reel from the dark hellish energies swirling around you all!
Channel Energy to hurt living creatures:2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10 negative energy dmg; Will DC 13 for 1/2 First roll on your next turn please; thx.
The last of his Asmodean monks die a painful death. Kissan spasms horribly, hovering on death's door!

Edmund feels the life sucked from his body against his will, and his thoughts turn back to the defenseless cat on the floor in front of him. His bow sags as he produces his wand, pouring life back into the wounded animal.
