Sorry, everyone; the haste lapses now. When I can see everyone again, I'll renew it.
Prescience 1d20 ⇒ 9, 6 of 7 used.
After Tragershen makes it to his feet, he peers into the fog. Not seeing what he needs to in order to cast a useful spell, he instead taps an arcane reserve housed in a pearl in his back, bringing back to mind a spell that worked well against the tiny demon before.
Using pearl of power to recall magic missile to his memory.
Not sure if he needs a save vs. the stink. If so, Fort 1d20 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 3 + 5 = 21.
Bedlam can exclude squares with precise bombs, but the swarms are currently in Aurora and Talathel's squares--you can yell 'fire in the hole, move out of the way, you two!' or you can ask if they are ok with getting blasted in the service of pesticidal rage, or you can do something else! And Tragershen: no need to save since you are out of the fog at the moment.

Adelie groans and tries to ignore his bruised nose.
He asks Tragershen, "Do you know what this thing is?" and gestures towards the cloud.
He casts guidance on himself.

Moneduloides thinks "foul" is a bit of an understatement. She can't recall the last time she smelled something so horrid. She continues through the cloud towards the sound of fighting.

Anzath feints with her left hand and strikes with her right.
Bluff to Feint:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25 Kritfisher+Prayer:1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 1 = 19 dmg+SA:1d6 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 4 + (3) = 10
Slow and steady wins the race out of the slick, greasy mess. Mind one, with no more haste and moving at half speed she only has 10ft of movement; if necessary to fully escape the grease, she'll double-move.
Otherwise, assuming she can get out with one move, Aurora pokes herself with guidance and sparks off a divine vessel.
Divine Vessel — This boon grants allies within 15ft. a +2 bonus on the next attack roll, skill check, or ability check made before the end of their next turn.
Talathel would resume stabbing wildly, but he's still nauseated. He heads towards clean air down the hall... he hopes.
Aurora is right behind him. She's out of the grease, but like Tal, still in the stink. She pops Guidance.
Since you're all on the same initiative--I'll just swap around a few posts...
Bedlam holds his bomb until Aurora and Talathel scamper out of the grease patch. Then, BAM. Tossing a bomb into a fog cloud is always tricky--let's see what he gets!
dretches:1d2 ⇒ 2
pests:1d3 ⇒ 3
direct hit? 1 no 2 yes:1d2 ⇒ 1
...while his bomb fails to smack right on anyone, the placement of the blast rocks our demonic friends with splash damage and the risk of a sticky situation:
dretch save:1d20 ⇒ 17 dretch save:1d20 ⇒ 6
pest save:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 pest save:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 pest save:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Bedlam doesn't know it, but out there in the fog are two freshly entangled demons!

Anzath curses something very nasty in Demonic. She’s starting to feel her wounds, and this fart cloud nonsense is getting more than annoying. She spins in retreat to the clear side of the room then readies to attack anything that comes after her.
Avoid AoO+DV:1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 = 15 Readied Kritfisher:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23+2 if it happens to be her Studied pestilenzi. dmg:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5+2 if it happens to be her Studied pestilenzi
Are the three pests in the same area? Could I glitterdust them without hitting allies? Since they took to the air, how about if I target, say, the top three feet of the room where they are?

In that case, use the first roll for Bluff to Feint, total result 19. Then add the following SA dmg. vs the Dretch. SA:1d6 ⇒ 2
Tragershen reaches into his pack for a scroll, which happens to be conveniently right at the top. He unfurls it and reads one of the two spells off of it, pointing a finger between two of the invisible demons. The space between them silently explodes in sparkles, engulfing the diminutive abyssal denizens before evaporating. It leaves behind a glittery residue, marking their locations for the others.
The scroll is only caster level 3, so a three round duration and the DC will vs. blindness is only 13.

Using a workman's attitude, the ever-pragmatic dwarf swings his cold iron heavy mace at an entangled Pestilenzi.

Sorry Bedlam, your Nauseated counter just started counting down from 4:
"Nauseated:
Creatures with the nauseated condition experience stomach distress. Nauseated creatures are unable to attack, cast spells, concentrate on spells, or do anything else requiring attention. The only action such a character can take is a single move action per turn."
Come to think of it, why did I let you throw that TangleBomb? Oh well. But, seriously, Stinking Cloud, don't leave the Abyss without it!

The dwarf violently pukes as his errant swing connects with nothing but his own vomit.

If Talathel is in visibly worse condition than Bedlam, and if he can manage it without moving into an obviously much-more-dangerous position than his current one, Adelie will cast remove sickness on Talathel. If Bedlam looks worse, Adelie will do the same except on Bedlam.
If they look equally ill, he'll cast on whichever one is closer.
Before casting, he calls out to his target, "This isn't permanent, but it'll make you feel better for a bit!"
Now I'm feeling a bit nauseated--it appears that my entire Round Fourteen post is missing except for telling you that it's your turn now. I edited it to say something about the fog being gone, and now it's gone! Or is it merely invisible? At any rate: Round Fourteen included a crit vs. Anzath for 8 damage and a bunch of Pestilenzi going invisible. I hope some of you saw that beautiful demon turn before it was sucked into the abyss...

Huh. Yeah, I saw it and reacted to it, but now I don't see it. The chaos of Rappan Athuk (and the Paizo message board) rears its ugly head again.
The invisible pestilenzi swoops down on alpha order:1d7 ⇒ 6 Tragershen! He's trying to take out the most serious threat! aoo from tal? 1 no 2 yes:1d2 ⇒ 1 He avoids Talathel's spear!
bite:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 162d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6
...Tragershen's Mage Armor fends off the nasty fangs!
The blind one tries to hunt Anzath, using its keen senses to attack:
bite:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 132d6 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4
...it fails.
The entangled one goes for Talathel, hoping for vengeance!

Bedlam moves closer to an entangled dirtbag and vomits on it!
Just be da first course!
Knowing that no one else can see the demon snapping its jaws in his face, Tragershen takes a step back and hisses a familiar spell, sending darts of arcane force at it.
Prescience 1d20 ⇒ 20, that's all seven used now.
5' step back from the demon, then cast magic missiles. Damage 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 1, 1) + 3 = 9.
If he has to make a saving throw before his next round, he'll use that prescience roll to make sure he makes it.

Adelie draws his scimitar and moves towards any foe that is not currently in or above grease. He walks through grease if necessary, using his guidance.
Acrobatics:1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 + 1 = 11
He nearly falls, but manages to keep his balance. If his slow and careful progress through the grease puts him on non-slippery ground near an enemy, he swings at it:
GM, did Vael follow us, or is she still back in the fountain room?Also, I think pestilenzi d12 is now d21 after his magic missile spell.
Tragershen calls out "There's one right in front of me!", then steps back away from it. He summons every bit of his arcane reserve to once again give his allies a rapid advantage.
5' step away from the demon, then use bonded object casting to cast haste on Anzath, Talathel, Aurora, Bedlam and himself.

Anzath spits on the space the dretch once occupied, then turns her weapons against the blind pestilenzi.
guessing they have blindsense, which if yes, they still lose dex to AC which means that last hit should be a SA, which means, immediate action ST the blind pestilenzi!

Hopefully that turns the tide! Pretty sure i just annihilated that demon.
2 Pestilenzi (d21; d16 entangled) Dretches (d5 entangled) Tragershen Aurora Bedlam Anzath Talathel(sick in 2) Adelie and Company
Anzath's hasty assault rips the blind and glittering pestilenzi to bits!
No blindsense, but a perception roll high enough that it auto-succeeds at hearing the sounds of combat. I would have rolled vs. concealment if it had hit! Also, note that all the pests have attacked and therefore broken invisibility, which I should have explained. Tragershen: magic missile added! And Vael is back with the statue. Aurora, Adelie, and Talathel may act! And Bedlam may kinda act!

Anzath screams again, but this time the tone of her cry is different, as if a great euphoric wave flows through the half-drow as she utterly destroys the miserable little demon.

With her stomach still heaving, Moneduloides changes course and returns to Adelie and Tragershen. She thinks about trying to bite a pest, but the thought is quickly forgotten as another wave of nausea hits her. She does her best to position herself between Tragershen and a threat, but her best is pretty shaky.

Adelie snarls and slashes at the pest that just bit him. He wishes he could be attacked by something a little less disgusting. And the bite, while not serious, is very irritating.
