Since my math skills are abominable, I'm rolling miss chance the same as I would do as I was a player. Locally we always say 'high is good ' (for me). And I'm so used to that doing it opposite is kinda hard for me to do it otherwise, even when GMing. Which makes it kinda weird if I have to roll miss chance for others. Especially as there are two different percentages going on. As you have 50% miss chance against me, but I have 20% miss chance against you. To make it easier and more clear, it would be best if you roll your own miss chance. Dayo identified the spell, so its no secret that the Barghest is under the effect of a Blink spell. So you can look up if miss chance would apply to you. Miss chance would still apply to Dayo's attack.
By definition, if you have a 50% miss chance, then anything 01-50 misses. If you have a 20% miss chance, then anything 01-20 misses.
I personally find it a bit annoying when people change that or call out their own numbers. I realize a 1 or 2 on a d4 is statistically the same, or that calling out that "low is best for me" doesn't change the probability, but it 1) is inconsistent and confusing when everyone at the table uses their own system (as we're seeing here), and 2) speaks of an elitist or privileged need to "be different" from everyone else, which leads to social inequalities in the group dynamic. But that's just me.

Fair enough about the elitism part. I personally don't mind, but not everyone does. I hereby give everyone permission to roll for me if necessary. High will always be good for me.
Also, oof. Blink coupled with my Strength damage means I'll barely damage him.
I understand my post might have been confusing. Its not out of any need to be different, but mostly my inability to abstractly thing with numbers. If high is always good, then that is always that way. Which makes it get weird when I'm rolling someone else's miss chance against myself. If this all feels weird/unfair, I think the easiest way to resolve it, looking at percentages, is to have one of the attacks on Eoghan miss.

Vitro looks at Eoghan getting flattened, the snowball sailing through empty space, and the magic missile striking true.
"Never mind, keep firing away with those."
I've moved Dayo into melee position.
Vitro twists his foot on the ground and calls up some sour gases to annoy the barghest and just maybe nauseate it. Since it's an area effect that lasts for a whole round, I don't know if rapidly blinking in and out will help, since you can't dodge it that way.
Acid:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
DC 15 fort for half; if you fail you're also sickened.

Vy absorbs some of Day's wounds.He than asks the gods for their blessing while loading his crosbow.
Vy casts Bless, takes 5 HP damage while Dayo heals 5 damage

Vitro keeps a fairly stiff upper lip while losing some entrails. "Well, crap. I was hoping that whatever was keeping it in here also prevented it from sticking its paws outside the room to swipe at us."
You forgot to save vs. sickened from the acid cloud, that might have cut down a bit on the damage (-6 for Dayo, -2 for me).
Vitro tries another snowball.
ranged touch:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11 miss chance, high is good for me:1d100 ⇒ 51 damage:5d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 1, 4, 5, 4) + 1 = 20
Hm. With 6 less damage, Dayo would not have gone down, and the last attack would also gone to him. This would also lead to the least amount of recalling, as Dayo would still go down, and Vitro would attack. Vitro just wouldnt get any damage then.
Can you take someone with you with the ethereal jaunt?
Justin: takes a little ethereal shortcut to end up next to Dayo.
Barghest: Sees the little rat man appear, but dismisses it as harmless.
It squeezes its large form inbetween the fire and the door so it can bite at the most dangerous thing: Vitro.
I do not believe that you can. The dimensional slide ability specifies the arcanist, and doesn t say as per dimension door or anything that lets you take passengers

Vy takes on more damages, reloads, and drops the croswbows, draws his morningstar, and smacks the Barghest
melee:1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 = 20 damage:1d8 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7 miss chance, high is good for Vy:1d100 ⇒ 73
Vitro: Lays down another acid cloud. The Barghest coughs a bit, but seems less affected this time.
Barghest: Seems to push against invisible bars in the doorway, its claws reaching out to Vitro, but it just cant reach. no action, just to illustrate what is going on
With the elf unreachable, the other snack in reach is the little rat man...

First, Vy needs some healing
lay on hands:1d6 ⇒ 5
He takes some damage from Dayo
Now to try and take care of that foul beast
melee:1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 = 27 miss change, high is good for Vy:1d100 ⇒ 91
if it hits
damage:1d8 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Vy heals, but also takes 5 damage. Dayo heals 5

Vitro takes no chances and calmly tries to stick his sword through the still-blinking body, eventually settling for holding his sword where the heart ought to phase back in.
"Well. Well. That went better than we really had any right to expect..."
He remarks a bit wryly, surveying three people laying crumpled on the floor.

Now that the battle is over, Vy can talk normal again
"Thank you for making sure it's dead. Makes this more effecient"
He starts channeling three times.
Channel Positive energy:1d6 ⇒ 4 Channel Positive energy:1d6 ⇒ 4 Channel Positive energy:1d6 ⇒ 2
He quits his lifelink with Dayo though
Everybody heals 10 hp, Vy heals 6 extra plus 2 I forgot for the lay on hands

"Oh. good. That worked. Nice Job drawing it out bait. " he gets up on all fours... and thinks thats far enough. "I'm just gonna go upstairs get some crickets and see whats in the OTHER room tomorrow. SOund like a plan?"
