Elektra clings to a horse racing away in panic.
Feeling the fear sunside elektra turns her horsr and cast haste.
Garrath grabs the throwing axes from his belt and lets them fly.
The Sandpoint Devil clumsily flies between two trees. Small limbs and leaves are torn from their branches raining down to the ground twenty feet below.
The demon horse spews forth fire down upon three members of the party along the more open trail area. Leaves and thin branches near the edges catch fire.
She will move a little bit north so that flynn and Garreth are affected

Area 20-ft.-radius burst
Duration instantaneous (1 round); see text

You draw down holy power to smite your enemies. Only evil and neutral creatures are harmed by the spell; good creatures are unaffected.
The spell deals 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d8) to each evil creature in the area (or 1d6 points of damage per caster level, maximum 10d6, to an evil outsider) and causes it to become blinded for 1 round. A successful Will saving throw reduces damage to half and negates the blinded effect.
The spell deals only half damage to creatures who are neither good nor evil, and they are not blinded . Such a creature can reduce that damage by half (down to one-quarter of the roll) with a successful Will save.
Round 3 Actions:
Garrath charges the Devil yelling his challenge as the veins stand out on his arms and neck and his face fills with rage.
Garrath reaches for his rope and tries to throw a loop around the devil's neck, pulling the rope around the trunk of a tree, and hauling with all his might.
Brandark quickly grabs for his little used bow, and takes a shot with it, while standing fast.
And then he looses a second shot.
He grabs his handy axe, and rushes forward to lay a beating on the critter
Elektra will also try to identify the enemy
Round Two
Garrath throws handaxes at the Sandpoint Devil. One, then the other stick into demon horse's flesh.
Elektra knows the legend. The Sandpoint Devil is an evil outsider. Unfortunately, Elektra, as everyone else, does not know how such a creature came about. That may be forever a mystery to this region.
Elektra maneuvers her horse back toward the fighters. She cast Haste.
The Sandpoint Devil flies between the trees, scattering twigs and leaves with its large bat-like wings. It lets out a burst of fire from its mouth upon three party members. The surrounding trees were singed, but the dampness prevented them from catching fire.
Stone cast Holy Smite against the Sandpoint Devil. The evil outsider has never before faced a Cleric of Sarenrae. It takes the full effect of the Holy Smite.
Brandark grabs his little used bow and sticks an arrow solidly into the creature's neck. His second shot sailed under the horse, after the Sandpoint Devil reacted from the quality first strike.
Flynn too has a successful first shot. His arrow penetrating the creature's thick hide. The Sandpoint Devil whinnies in pain. The Inquisitor's second and third shots either missed or glanced of the creature's thick hide.
Shalelu still without the presence of mind is lead further away by her calm horse.
Round Three
Garrath pulls out a rope and tries to lasso the Sandpoint Devil. The rope was blocked by overhanging limbs, and falls to the ground missing its intended target.
Slowed by the trees and its many wounds, the Sandpoint Devil turns and flees.
Quickly waving her hand Elektra casts glitterdust to hamper the demons sight before moving toward her friends preparing a dimdoor to get closer to the devil "Gather round.... he won´t escape so easely! NOT today!"
Time for some MMM Electra weaves a quick spell and casts . "Sigh, evocation is without style, needs no true artistry. But it gets the job done."
With smoke still rising from his beard, Brandark continues to use his little used bow.
Only to have some of the smoke get into his eyes for the last shot.

Stone will call for Sarenrae's aid. Then hopes off of Shadow and move towards Elektra.
School evocation [force]; Level cleric/oracle 4
CASTING
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, DF
EFFECT
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect spiritual ally of force
Duration 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance yes
DESCRIPTION
An ally made of pure force appears in a single 5-foot square within range. The ally takes the form of a servant of your god.
The spiritual ally occupies its space, though you and your allies can move through it, since it is your ally. The spiritual ally carries a single weapon, one favored by your deity (as for spiritual weapon), which has the same threat range and critical modifiers as a real weapon of its form. Each round on your turn, starting with the turn that you cast this spell, your spiritual ally can make an attack against a foe within its reach that you designate. The spiritual ally threatens adjacent squares and can flank and make attacks of opportunity as if it were a normal creature. The spiritual ally uses your base attack bonus (gaining extra attacks if your base attack bonus is high enough) plus your Wisdom bonus when it makes a melee attack. When the spiritual ally hits, it deals 1d10 points of force damage + 1 point of damage per 3 caster levels (maximum +5 at 15th level). It strikes as a spell, not a weapon, so it bypasses DR and can affect incorporeal creatures.
Each round after the first, you can move the spiritual ally as a swift action. It has a speed of 30 feet, and a fly speed of 30 feet (perfect maneuverability). Being a construct of force, the spiritual ally cannot be harmed by any physical attacks, but dispel magic, disintegrate, a sphere of annihilation, or a rod of cancellation affects it. A spiritual ally's AC against touch attacks is 10.
If an attacked creature has spell resistance, you make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) against that spell resistance the first time the spiritual ally strikes it. If the ally is successfully resisted, the spell is dispelled. If not, the weapon has its normal full effect on that creature for the duration of the spell.
The Spirate appears on the west side of the devil and then attacks.
Garrath starts at a dead run, trying to get ahead of the beast somewhere he can get elevation to attack.
Round Three
Elektra calls the party to gather around her. Adverse to Evocation Spells, she sighs and sends a Magic Missile out against the winged demon horse.
The Sandpoint Devil begins to fly away.
Stone quickly calls in a Spiritual Ally, that appears and strikes the Sandpoint Devil.
Brandark fires a couple more arrows. He hits with the first, but smoke from the smouldering trees obstructs his second shot.
Flynn fires three arrows, striking home with the second arrow.
Courage returns to Shalelu. Unable to turn her horse, Shalelu dismounts and heads back toward the party.
Round Four
Garrath runs and moves ahead of the beast as it flies away.
Moving closer to Flynn Elektra dim doors them beneath the devil to get him into point blank range
Retcon Round Three and Four
With Cold Iron arrows, Brandark hits deeply. The shaft of one burying into the demon horse's flesh.
Flynn hits with one of his arrows. It was enough to do the deed.
The Sandpoint Devil whinnies one last time, and falls from the sky. The great terror of Sandpoint dies in the fall. Garrath had to jump out of the way as the massive creature crashed into ground.
Shalelu runs up to the fallen demon horse to confirm its demise, "We must take the remains to Sheriff Hemlock."
The whole thing, or will just part of it work
Brandark shakes his head, as he finally puts out his beard which was smoldering lightly, and then walks to the devil as he puts his bow away.
He then plucks the cracked shafts out of the hide.
"I think the sheriff and all of Sandpoint will be quite happy we finally managed to kill this terror!"
"The Sheriff will want to see the whole thing. We could construct a sled from timbers. Then use two horses to drag it back to Sandpoint. It may take an extra day," Shalelu spoke far more than normal. Having plied these woods for many years, and knowing the destruction it has wreaked, she knows the significance of being able to fully demonstrate to everyone that the threat has been dealt with.
"Shalelu, there might be another option. I will require us to sleep for the night, but then I can carry it behind me. Well if it is not too heavy!" If accepted Elektra will cast Floating disk twice For 14 hours of carrying dead meat!
Garrath gives a grin at the seeming avalanche of words coming from Shalelu "Couldn't we just send one of our group back to the city and have the mayor and people come back here? Let them deal with dragging the carcass back to town."
Also, Shalelu, would not this creature have a lair that we might look into?
I think waiting until the morning might be best, as I am feeling a bit weak right now.
Good to see i'm not hte only one feeling a bit off...Thanks Stone Flynn comments
My thanks Stone
Brandark goes over to check on the spooked horses and help bring them back.
Shalelu will look at Brandark and Stone, "No one knows where it laired."
She will then look at Elektra and Garrath and nod her head, "It is a big carcass. I can ride back to Sandpoint and have them bring a wagon." She will think about that, "I could be back in about three days."
"Then lets do so. We will guard it.
