to determine the demon's resistances.
Bartan moves out from behind the cover of the wall, uses a Swift action to charge his partial harrow deck with pure magical energy, and then begins casting a spell.
He then pulls a card from the deck. => The Twin (True Neutral, Charisma)
"Your own power will be turned against you by the Twin!"
Bartan throws the card toward the demon, heedless of those around him, and as it flies toward him it seems to take on the shape of the demon himself, while also icing over with a sheen of frost.
plus cold
Unfortunately, the card flies wildly, missing the demon entirely.
Yazi and Bartan piece together the resistances you are all facing:
Halruun
+2 turn resistance; DR 5/magic and silver;
Kezurkian
DR 5/cold iron or good; Immune disease, electricity, poison; Resist acid 10, cold 10, fire 10; SR14

Monsters; Halruun -15, Kezurkian -0

Dhavyn peers around the wall at the lich and others. He pulls back a little, intoning מאַגיש מיססילע, before leaning back. His eyes focus on the skeletal undead and with a quick twist of fingers he launches two magical darts at the monstrosity.
Unfortunately the undead's presence seems to disturb the energies within the missiles and the impact does very little damage.
Khayal charges the former high priest.
He swings with his Kukri eager to get a hit,
His sword slashes home, right into its ribs.
Avenka runs (move X 3), but does not attack this turn.

Monsters; Halruun -29, Kezurkian -0

The skeleton opens his hand and a ball of light rises slowly, ominously into the air. At about 30 ft it bursts into a multicolored explosion of leaping, ricocheting energy. chaos hammer! damage if you are lawful or neutral...
DC19

Monsters; Halruun -29, Kezurkian -0

Dhavyn staggers in back slightly as the energy passes through him. He shakes his head, largely unharmed, and prepares to counter.
Gritting his teeth against the pain of the spell Hajar beseeches his Lady for healing.
He swings Tempest with all his might against the evil cleric
Luckily Bartan is Chaotic, so the spell does not affect him.
He pulls out the pearl that the party found earlier, recalling the spell he just cast.
"May this card fly true." He pulls a card and throws it, this time at the skeleton.
= The Keep (Neutral Good, Strength)
"The Keep will shelter us against these foul creatures."

Anjali slips closer to the fighting and channels energy through her. This time however, she focuses not on healing her comrades, but rather doing damage to the undead they face.
Khayal continues his assault on the former high priest.
A couple beads of sweat form on Khayal's brow as he becomes a whirl of motion.
Dhavyn continues watching the undead creature, gathering his power while looking for any signs of spellcasting.
Dhavyn continues watching the undead creature, gathering his power while looking for any signs of spellcasting.
Anjali bows her head, focusing on a spell that would help her allies gain an advantage in their fighting. Both her arms sweep around to encompass her companions around her. In her flametongue she brings forth the words to give them courage.
Avenka did not take damage from Chaos hammer (CG), and she holds position to allow both Hajar and Yazi the possibility of flanking bonus.
She rages and attacks the skeleton first :
Then she attacks the other creature :

Avenka smashes the skull of the skeletal creature. It howls and dies.
You expect the horned demon dissapear once the creature who summoned it dies, but it does not...Kazurkian continues to fight! Obviously Halruun was not the summoner...
Kazurkian attacks
Hajar for

He lets out a horiffic bull-cow Moooooooooo as the gold ring in his nostrils sways back and forth. It must be worth at least 20 shekels!

Kazurkian -12hp.
Realizing that both Hajar and Yazi are hit, Anjali scrambles to find a better spot to heal both of them. Looking around, she quickly realizes that healing them both would not be possible without also healing their foe.
She opts to step up and heal Yazi instead.
= 6hp for Yazi.
Hajar grits his teeth against the blow from the demon and swings Tempest!
but he fails to strike the beast.
He calls on his Lady for healing
Khayal shifts over and attacks Kazurkian.
Khayal misses twice.
Knowing that the demon's resistances will make much of the damage he may be able to do moot, Bartan opts to try to slow the beast, and pulls out a scroll of snowball and casts it, hurling the ball of ice that forms in his hand directly at the demon's face!
cold damage (+1 from Point Blank Shot) and DC 12 Fort save or staggered for 1 round, SR does not apply

Yazi lets out a howl as the demon's claws tear into her but the pain is briefer than what she had expected as a warm comforting feeling flows from a soft touch to her back all throughout her body, closing most of the wound. That feels like Angel... she DOES like me! With a smirk starting to creep its way across her face she will take a swing at their remaining opponent.
Avenka attacks, yelling unintelligibly :
Dhavyn completes the incantation he was saving for the undead and launches the two bolts of energy at the demon instead.
Kazurkian attacks
Avenka for HIT

Combat ends if you guys hit for 3.
Nothing further stands in your way of entering the old ruined church.
ruin still stand, but the interior walls have been demolished
and gutted. Several skeletons litter the structure’s interior,
including about a dozen garbed in the red-chitin livery of
the Pactmaster Guard. The rest appear
to have been clerics of Sarenrae or
even common citizens, though the
past 20 years have rotted away most
of the skin and clothes worn
by the corpses. Ash and fire
stains the interior walls and
ceiling throughout most of the
structure, and signs of violent
battle are everywhere.
Near the center of the church
stands a forlorn stairwell that
leads down to a heavily barred
door. A strange metal plate with
a glowing series of irregularly
etched lines mars the surface of
the door, casting the stairs in a
dull red illumination.
"Take this!" Bartan yells, hoping to take out the foul creature with a card to the face!
=> The Beating (Neutral Evil, Strength)
Not sure if the 16 hit, if not...
Khayal enters the church and after looking around his attention is drawn to the door down the stairs. The glow, what type of fell magic is this?
MAP UPDATED.
From inside the church you find a dark doorway which opens onto a staircase leading down. As you descend...
The stairs lead to a rounded stone-walled chamber with a
featureless door in the north wall. A ten-foot-diameter circle
of mortared stones at the center of the room marks a well that
descends even deeper into the earth. Next to the well, on a
small pedestal, is a large gong. A short stick capped with a
round pad of moldering leather dangles from a cord attached
to the gong platform.
Bartan casts detect magic. Is the gong magical? If so,
Is there any indication what would happen if we hit the gong with the stick?
Khayal drops a rock down the well and listens.
