Vuvu, we are in rounds... as stated above. Move action to move 30' and get to the encounter. Standard action to encounter. You can take a full round action to encounter both challenges. You moved up, and rolled for both. (which is a move and and a full)
Avoreal is able to push through the crowded streets, and move up to the cluttered alleyway!
Those that are now engaged with the assassin notice that she is a tiefling, and is pulling out a scroll! She reads it, and turns invisible.
Antonius:
You can just see her, as she stepped around the corner
Then, the three engaged can hear chanting from all around them, as if someone is casting a spell.
Vuvu then manages to follow Duhwoo's example, and makes his way up to the team past the crowded streets and the cluttered alleyway!

as before (at the Aspis camp), once Duhwoo knows somebody has gone invisible, he’ll pull out his scroll of See Invisibility (last one!) and cast it on his own self.
caster level check, vs DC 4:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
then he points right at her:
”Ah kin see ya, young lady — now y’all jus’ give up that thar key, an’ y’all’ll live through th’ day!”
I am a little unclear on the situation. You said that we could hear the sound of spell casting all around but I don't see anything on the map for that. The assassin seems to have vanished, it isn't clear which direction he went in from the map and there seems to be some sort of huge statue thing off to the right. Is that an active creature?
The assassin is on the map... I outlined her in white to make her easier to pick up. As for the chanting, you have not yet seen who is doing it. The image off to the right is a larger picture of the assassin... when I realized she was not a he, I changed the token. When you can see more, I will reveal it.
Antonius rises up to the height of the roofs to see if he can get a better idea of who is chanting.
Just a move action for now, the rest of my actions will depend on whether or not I can see the spellcasting enemies. I have both see invisibility and echolocation active.

Duhwoo can still do a 5’ step northeast right after he reads the scroll this turn, which will give Duhwoo a glimpse of the assassin — so his above comment can still make sense...
(I’m just unable to manipulate the map right now...)
Vars moves up, and takes a moment to look for the assassin, but he cannot find her. move and a move to perceive
Antonius moves up 30' to clear the rooftops and he sees a Lissalan cultist hiding in an alley a couple of buildings over. Move action, waiting on his standard.. He has a scroll out and appears to be casting it.
Antonius [Standard] and Avoreal are up is/are up! (Vars in delay) Universal Adjustments: Mass Fly, Haste Universal Conditions:
With a wave of one hand Antonius engulfs the invisible assassin in an explosion of light, highlighting her for all to see.
Turning to the cultist he mutters, oh, I don't think so and casts a second spell creating an enormous mailed fist which promptly punches him in the face.
Via telepathy, We have another enemy round the corner here, some sort of cultist trying to use a scroll. I will deal with this one, capture the assassin, alive if possible.
Swift action to cast quickened glitterdust at the assassin, DC24 will save or blinded, her invisibility is negated regardless. She gets a save to clear the blindness at the end of each of her turns if affected. Standard action to cast clenched fist at the cultist, it is a medium range spell.
Clenched Fist attack, heroism:1d20 + 42 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 42 + 2 = 58 Clenched fist damage:1d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15 If it hits it forces a DC34 fort save or be stunned for 1 round. If he saves then he also need to make a concentration check for damage dealt.
confirm:1d20 + 40 ⇒ (13) + 40 = 53damage:2d8 + 66 ⇒ (3, 6) + 66 = 75 if they aren't dead already, they are exhausted, and DC 29 fortitude save or be staggered for 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 rounds. If save is successful only 1 round of staggered.
I always figure speak with dead works if we need info.
As Vars steps up the Assassin instantly shifts 10 feet away and out of reach of him.
Spellcraft DC 23:
It was a contingent effect on a Dimension Door
Seeing the potential threat of the Falcata, she pulls out a scroll and casts. Unfortunately for her, the Power Word Stun does not affect Vars as he as greater than 151 HP.
As she curses, a bone devil inteposes itself between her an Vars. Six other bone devils appear in the air around the streets.
The remaining ones fly in to position to block encircle the party.
Two cultists (blue and purple) appear long enough to get line of effect to cast cloudkill : everyone on the ground takes 1d4 ⇒ 1 Con damage -- Fort DC 22 for half
Two other Cultist (yellow and brown) cast wall of stone around Vars and the bone devils.
More casting can be heard elsewhere.
Avoreal arrives on the scene Just outside the one cloud.
Antonius is benefitting from both greater invisibility and mind blank, I am not sure how the bone devils can see him. The entire party is benefitting from life bubble so sadly the cloudkill does nothing.
Antonius drops down and across from the flying bone devils. I have had enough of this. He raises both hands, lightning gathers between them and then explodes outwards in all directions, tearing at the enemy.
Antonius moves down and across, he is looking to get as many enemies as he can into a 30' radius spread. He has 40' blindsight so he can target things in the cloud. If the devils have a way of seeing him while invisible and mind blanked then he will provoke. He then defensively casts stormbolts, he cannot fail the concentration check. I leave it up to you to decide what he can get in a 30'r spread but it looks like I should be able to hit all of the bone devils unless the ones behind the walls of stone have a roof.
Feel free to take them in any order, I don't think I can fail on a regular bone devil. The spell deals 19d8 ⇒ (2, 7, 3, 7, 2, 2, 2, 7, 5, 2, 6, 4, 2, 5, 7, 8, 3, 2, 4) = 80 electrical damage and forces a DC34 fortitude save or be stunned for 1 round. If these are the devils from the attack in the temple some may already be damaged. Stunned flying devils will fall.
Meanwhile the giant fist continues to pummel the unfortunate cultist.
Attack, heroism, haste:1d20 + 41 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 41 + 2 + 1 = 50 Damage:1d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12 DC34 fortitude save or stunned for a round. Depending on the outcome I may have a quickened spell or a free action to shift form with shapechange.

Avoreal will fly down into purples face and defensively cast Persistent Flesh to Stone(DC 32 Fort) on him/her. Cannot fail the conc check.. If she can see Blue caster she will quicken a dazing magic missile on him, DC 23 Will to negate the 1 round daze.
MM Dam if she can see him:5d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 3, 1) + 5 = 19

Mr McKeener -- who still has wand of Dimension Door in hand -- will use the wand to D-Door to a position 50' up in the air, straight up from where he estimates the other end of the alley Vars moved into is (he guesses the alley is 40' long;
for his move action, he'll fly down to where he is adjacent to the invisible assassin, and 5' off the ground. His descent route is marked with little 'X' behind his marker on the map, with final 5' of move scooching him adjacent to assassin (to avoid AoOs).
As part of his move action, he'll pull his Super Falchion out!
(he now has wand in left hand, falchion in the right -- he'll have to drop the wand to take any attack of opportunity).
in a freakishly calm voice:
"Ma'am, you're gonna need ta hand that key on over..."
last free action for his turn: as his face scrunches into his raging battle scowl, he'll heft the big falchion above his head in one hand, let out a vicious yell, and RAGE -- with Come and Git Me, Power Attack, Reckless Abandon, and Dazing Assault active:
CaGM AoOs:
1st AoO, with Dazing Assualt:1d20 + 32 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 32 - 5 = 44 crit confirm check:1d20 + 32 - 5 ⇒ (6) + 32 - 5 = 33
for 2d4 + 36 ⇒ (1, 4) + 36 = 41 points of damage -- and a DC 27 Fort save...
*IF* AC 33 confirms, and first attacker not immune to crits, add another 2d4 + 36 ⇒ (2, 2) + 36 = 40 points of crit damage
2nd AoO, with Dazing Assualt:1d20 + 32 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 32 - 5 = 40
for 2d4 + 36 ⇒ (4, 2) + 36 = 42 points of damage -- and a DC 27 Fort save...
3rd AoO, with Dazing Assualt:1d20 + 32 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 32 - 5 = 38
for 2d4 + 36 ⇒ (4, 1) + 36 = 41 points of damage -- and a DC 27 Fort save...
4th AoO, with Dazing Assualt:1d20 + 32 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 32 - 5 = 30
if there is a 4th attack on Duhwoo, and AC 30 hits the attacker, then 2d4 + 36 ⇒ (1, 4) + 36 = 41 points of damage -- and a DC 27 Fort save...
@Antonis, Yes they don't see you. They don't have see invisibility. They are there ready to assault the rest of the party. Always a trick to catch everything in the middle of combat.
The clouds are still there, just useless. Also the Wall of Stone are 10 feet tall and 1 inch thick. Easy enough to either burst though or fly over
Upset with the primary target running away, Vars quickly dispatches each bone devil in one strike.
Antonis ducks from the swarm of devils and lets out his burst of lightening at the remaining four devils
The blue cultist move across the alley way and the cast Black Tenticles around Duhwhoo.
Tentilce CMB:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24
But doing nothing but just annoy the raging fighter.
The brown and yellow cultist begins to cast Summon Monster
Three Bearded Devils appear at the one end of the alley and take up guarded positions.
@Duhwoo, you may need to rethink, dimension door ends your turn after use sadly
I believe the assassin was blinded by glitterdust so takes a -4 on acro if she doesn't have blind fight. She also takes a -40 penalty on her stealth. She can make a new save at the end of her round, DC24 will
Antonius flies invisibly over the buildings and directs the fist to attack the assassin.
Fist, Heroism, Haste:1d20 + 41 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 41 + 2 + 1 = 59 Damage:1d8 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17
DC34 fortitude save or she is stunned for 1 round.
Can we see the Key on the assassin? Is it possible to use the steal maneuver to retrieve it? If so Antonius will quicken a pilfering hand spell, CMB, heroism, haste:1d20 + 19 + 12 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 19 + 12 + 2 + 1 = 43

Avoreal casts Polymorph Any Object(DC 32 Fort) on the Assassin, so he/she may be interrogated later. Subject is turned into a small turtle if it fails. A stunned turtle more than likely.
No, Vars is not delaying, and evidently my edit did not stick. Thank you goblins!
You cannot see the key on the assassin, but she has a very nice backpack on, so it could be in there.
fort:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17
Avoreal, I assume you are using it to be a baleful polymorph fort:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 will:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
She is a turtle, and is now acting like a turtle. Her stuff is now part of the turtle.
As the spell takes hold of her, she yells out, "For ten thousand years we have slept, awaiting this day. Think not that you shall take it from us. You and I are merely pawns in a far greater game with a far greater purpose. In the name of the mouthless mistress to whom all fates are known, I damn you and all your descendents! Lissala, take my spirit to pay for my vengeance!"
The turtle just looks around, somewhat startled looking, and starts slowly walking away.
