Dretch. I said dog because I had no idea what the icon was. Too tiny for my old eyes. <evil grin> More likely success vs. a dretch, since they don't have 4 legs. Though a whip's 15' reach DOES put one or two of the dogs to the left in his reach, that's not the icon I was looking at.

LOL..Ok the objects to your left are fire pits (by Maja). The dogs are all outside of the campsite in the woods. You would have to go across the barricades and firepits. I increased the size of the map :) I will remember to make the maps bigger for the older eyes :)

Hustonj, Let me know how you want to move on this and we can get the ball rolling :)

Perri climbs to his feet, and moves through the door into the fight, pulling his whip as he goes, instinctively moving to fill a hole and avoid opening himself to being fully flanked. "You want chaos and violence? I'll give you some violence!" As he lashes out with his whip at the closest possessed dog, trying to drop it to the ground . . ..
Swift to stand from crouch, IIRC. Move. Standard Attack (Trip attempt)
[dice=Whip Trip CMB w/ possession & Cover penalties]1d20+23-1-4
Probably fails. If, by some miracle, that succeeds, being tripped by Perri is a provoking action.
[dice=Whip AoO w/ modifiers]1d20+15-1-4
[dice=Lethal whip damage]1d3+6Perri threatens out to 10', and gets up to 6 AoOs per round at the net +10 modifier. Please roll AoOs as opportunities are created. Yes, he can trip as an AoO (or disarm), but neither seem particularly useful versus the dogs.
Perri comes out all wild-eyed and in an emotional fit. He pulls his whip up and fires it at the dretch as if trying to tear its leg off. The whip lashes around both of the blob-like creature's legs at the knees and he deftly pulls his whip with a dexterous fleek. The creature is upended as green gore and black blood fly from his other wounds. Perri, with a flick of the wrist releases his whip and quickly sends it back at the dretch hitting the creature on the face but it seems the creature's skin is far to tough for the whip to affect it in any lethal manner. It quickly becomes obvious to Perri the whip will not do any real damage to the creature. Natural AC +3 whip has no damage effect on the creature. The dretch is now prone on the ground screaming.
Bynoth has an Attack of Opportunity.
Prone
The character is lying on the ground. A prone attacker has a –4 penalty on melee attack rolls and cannot use a ranged weapon (except for a crossbow). A prone defender gains a +4 bonus to Armor Class against ranged attacks, but takes a –4 penalty to AC against melee attacks.
Standing up is a move-equivalent action that provokes an attack of opportunity.
Dretch CMD 12/ Perri's Whip CMB 21. He has 5 more AoO this round.

Heirang "Harry" Grawlund |

Harry shakes his head in resignation as the headstrong fighter heads out to deal with the demonic foes. Moving slowly to the doorway he peers through it to get a better sense of the situation. Even though the dretch demon was being occupied by his companions, he also could still hear the baying and howling of the possessed hounds.
The sight of another demon just outside the fiery pits fills his heart with dismay, which he quickly fights back. He knew of a spell which would...occupy the demons but he hesitated to cast it here, as his aqueous orb would extinguish the flames which were keeping the hounds at bay.
Bringing the words and gestures to the tip of his tongue he prepares to open a tiny conduit from the elemental watery plane....
Ready action to cast Aqueous Orb should the hounds breach the perimeter.

Perri Purrun |

Actualy, Perri has the Whip Feat that makes a whip a fully lethal weapon . . .. Just one that never does much direct damage. Archives of Nethys or PFSRD20, as you prefer. I do understand most of the limits on the character I built.
Also, since it is BEING tripped that provokes, the target is not considered prone for the AoOs in response. Now, when he goes to stand, he starts prone then . . .. Doesn't really matter if you reverse that perspective or not, as long as we maintain consistency of targeting the starting or ending condition and don't flip-flop.

** spoiler omitted **...
Correction
The whip strikes the second time and it is a vicious hit but the creature's demonic flesh seems to absorb a good deal of the blow. Green gore and black blood fly up as the whip shreads the thick flesh of the creature's face. Ripping away the cheek showing more teeth and a whip-like tongue inside of his skull. The thing staggers back a step and howls in frustration and anger. The dretch behind the wounded one howls as well...AHORGAAAAAA!!!
Dretch is critically wounded (-3)

Bynoth Phaelzuhr |

AoO
As the first Dretch falls keening at the lash, Bynoth flashes a cruel smile;
"The sound of an enemy's pain and suffering... truly music worthy of an encore!"
The priest instinctively brings his own glowing flail to bear on the downed demon, eulogising as he does;
"Let those who fall n'er rise again! No mercy. No quarter. None given! None taken!"
Melee AoO: +1 Flaming Flail: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20
Damage (Bludgeoning): 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Additional Damage (Flame): 1d6 ⇒ 4
Edit: Sorry just re-read above - now thinking there is no AoO?

There IS an AoO. Perri's Greater Deft Maneuvers makes BEING TRIPPED by Perri a provoking action.
I love the Greater Trip action with the Greater Disarm AoO combo. Put them on the ground and throw their weapon 15' away. No damage dealt, but a pretty significant change in the battlefield dynamic . . .. If your opposition wields weapons, anyway.
You can do much of the same with Greater Reposition, actually, as the opponent's unwilling movement provokes using that feat. Thing is, even with Quickened Reposition, you can't use it as an AoO, only on your turn. Quickened Reposition, though, let's you get a full iterative attack in on your turn . . ..

I think I don't even have to make a save? Woohoo!
"That's right demon spawn, I'm ready for ya!" After her first strike, Maja moves in for the kill.
[dice=Cold Iron Rope Shot]1d20+15; [dice=Damage]1d4+7She then takes a step to hold her original post near the fires.
Maja releases the cold iron shot and as the creature starts to plummet the shot hits the dretch under the chin. The things entire jaw bursts into pieces and the head seem to sling back and it is the first part of the body to hit the ground. It lies motionless except for the left hand and left foot as they seem to twitch in concert in rapid beats. A foul green black vapor begins to ooze from the body and it seems to shrivel...even while the left side continues to twitch.
Dretch 1 is dead.

The creature's jaw explodes and as it hits the ground and begins to vaporize the war priest's fiery flail slams into the chest of the dretch and it simply dissolves into a mess of demonic flesh, black blood, and green gore!

Thanim |

Round 4
Conditions: Healthy | Shield of Faith | Prayer | PfE --> 57 HP | +3 Deflection | +2 Luck atk/dmg/st/sk | +2 resistance
Hearing the disturbing and seemingly non sequitur comments from Harry and Perri, Thanim grows concerned. Though they are healing physically, clearly that is not all there is to their condition.
Kn (Religion): 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 2 = 22 <+2 Luck> (Determine what is happening to Perri, Harry, Cerilis. Any bonus for having having witnessed behavior while caring for them?)
Unable to see through the remaining fog, Thanim remains outside it and steadies himself while considering the enemies. Realizing they are the spawn of darkness, he reaches forward and casts Bless Weapon on Bynoth's flail. "Pelor blesses thy weapon to defeat the evil before us." Seeing no immediate threat, he draws his mace and prepares himself to strike any foe that emerges from the cloudy depths.
Actions: Standard: cast Bless Weapon; Move: draw mace
Bless Weapon:
* bypass DR X/magic of evil creatures
* good aligned
* expand critical range by 1
* lasts 6 minutes

Bynoth Phaelzuhr |

Round 4
As the fallen demon is obliterated, Bynoth nods then eyes Thanim as he bestows the Sun Lord's blessing upon his burning flail;
"While Pelor's grace pales against my own Lord's invocations, a sharper edge to any weapon is always welcome Sun-worshipper."
He then invokes some of his own divine magicks summoning further armaments to bolster the combat;
"Scorge of Battle. Grant me your many arms so I may purge this pestilence from our world!"
Standard Action: Cast Hedging Weapons Duration: 6 minutes. +2 AC. Force Damage (ignores DR)
Upon completion of the spell, two spectral weapons appear at his shoulders - a mace and battle axe...
Grim faced the war-priest advances toward the spiked barricade, shadowed by his phantasmal weapons (15ft Move Action)

Cerilis Silvertree |

Cerilis stands tall and waits for the enemy to show itself.
Holding action for the enemy to move into our defensive perimiter. Then will attack the most powerful enemy..Dretch then demon wolf thing then wolf thing in that order...I am also wondering if I may keep the rolls I had on my last post?

Sylas
Sylas sees the air elementals clear the air around the campsite. As the whirlwinds shoot the green gases up into the air above and disperse it without incident.
As it does Sylas calls upon his arcane powers the companions can hear him calling on those powers in his incantation as he evokes powers of fire. Out of his hands, he forms a pea-sized ball with the flames that gains density. The fire is then encased with arcane powers as he points his finger and says the final evocation sending the magical ball of fire towards the pair of dogs to the south. It immediately grows in size as it shoots forth and impacts just past the privy and fire explodes outward engulfing the trees in its hot flame. The privy explodes and burst into a thousand firey shards of wood. As the flames disperse Sylas can see there is nothing left of the pair of infected dogs.
Two infected dogs - hp12 (damage 29) burned to ash

Plague Dog - CMD to beat WEB DC17
Plague2 Dog - 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Possessed Dog - 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
The possessed dog manages to make its way out of the web that Sylas cast. It moves the edge of the hill just out the campfire light. It's green eyes peering into the camp. It howls but there is something in the dark howl. The dogs near him turn and bark and yip at him as if to protest. The other infected dog in the web yips and howls in frustration as his brother moves off north down the trail and away from the camp.

The 2nd Dretch
Moves over the fire pit with little concern for it. He moves towards Thanim in choppy steps and attacks the priest with little regard to itself.
It lunges at Thanim with its claws but recoils almost immediately as if hitting some kind of field. It become angrier by the moment but it simply can't touch the priest as it has no power over him with the protection spell that he cast.
Protection from Evil

Perri Purrun |

Shifitng his position with a single step in order to clear his attack path, Perri unleashes his whip upon the second dretch.
Trip attempt CMB w/ possession penaltiy: 1d20 + 23 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 23 - 1 = 23
Natural 1 always fails on a combat attack roll.
Iterative Trip attempt CMB w/ possession penaltiy: 1d20 + 23 - 1 - 5 ⇒ (12) + 23 - 1 - 5 = 29
Whip AoO w/ modifier: 1d20 + 15 - 1 ⇒ (8) + 15 - 1 = 22
Lethal whip damage: 1d3 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
And, again, being tripped by Perri provokes . . .. Looks like Thanim and Cerillis should get AoOs.

Thanim |

Round 5 - AoO
Conditions: Healthy | Shield of Faith | Prayer | PfE --> 57 HP | +3 Deflection | +2 Luck atk/dmg/st/sk | +2 resistance
I am assuming that Perri's attack above is the beginning of Round 5...
The dretch approaches and Thanim braces himself. The evil demon strikes with great fury, but the blessing from Pelor obstructs his attempts to do harm. Thanim smiles, radiating an inner light, "Foul beast of the dark! Your evil will be outdone by good. You will not prevail!" Suddenly, Perri's whip lashes out and the creature is thrown from his feet. Seeing his chance, Thout raises his mace and strikes mightily as the beast tumbles. "Cower before Pelor! His light will be your end!"
Power Attack: 1d20 + 6 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 - 2 + 2 = 16 <+2 Luck>
PA Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 4 + 2 = 11 <+2 Luck> (Cold Iron mace)

Harry feels a wave of fatigue pass over him reminding him in no uncertain terms he was still quite sick. Still he knew the remaining hounds were out there somewhere...
"'ey! Let me know if'n ye see any more hounds out there! I 'ave jes th' spell fer them...especially if'n they cannae swim!"
Harry will maintain his readied action.

Prior to 5th round - Air Elementals
Both air elementals seem to morph from the whirlwind into smokey looking eagles as they do they swoop down towards the dretch in a "J" like arc descending rapidly as they do to position themselves on the opposite sides of each other. There are dark hollow sockets where their eyes should be but the creature's flight seems to display their emotion like their eyes.
Air Elemental 1 Slam Attack 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 1 + 4 = 25+1 from higher ground, +4 from flanking (5)
Slam Damage 11d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Crit Damage 11d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Air Elemental 2 Slam Attack 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 + 4 = 20+1 from higher ground, +4 from flanking (5)
Slam Damage 21d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Crit Damage 21d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
The attacks don't seem to hurt the demon but the evil creature turns and swipes at them in defense and frustration helping to keep its attention fixed them as well as the others surrounding it.

2nd Dretch
The cold iron shot releases and slams into the neck of the dretch and in an explosion of green gore and black blood! The creature screams and the wail is a horrible sound of agony and ecstasy. All at once the creature's hatred is turned on Maja it's green glowing eyes display a hatred that Maja has never seen before!
The creature is CRITICALLY wounded (-3).

Did anything become of Perri's attack and Thanim's AoO? Do we need to redo those?

THanks. Forgot about those.

Shifting his position with a single step in order to clear his attack path, Perri unleashes his whip upon the second dretch.
[dice=Trip attempt CMB w/ possession penaltiy]1d20+23-1

[dice=Iterative Trip attempt CMB w/ possession penaltiy]1d20+23-1-5
[dice=Whip AoO w/ modifier]1d20+15-1
[dice=Lethal whip damage]1d3+6And, again, being tripped by Perri provokes . . .. Looks like Thanim and Cerillis should get AoOs.
Perri's first attempt to bite into the legs of the foul creature misses as the horrific thing side steps and laughs but that is when Maja's stone explodes into his head. As it does Perri returns the head of his whip right back into the legs of the Dretch and as Perri pulls his whip tight the terrible creature's knees bang together and his body collapses to the ground. As the creature falls Perri deftly pulls the whip back seeing an opening he lets his whip fly again. This time the whip strikes a wicked blow across the creature's stomach eviscerating the thing. As his whip pulls back the creature's steaming guts follow dropping out to the sides as it hits the earth. The thing lies still and foul vapors rise up from it as it begins to bubble and collapse in on itself.
7hp of damage-5 DR = 2hp
As he pulls his whip back Thanim pounces and finishes what is left of the creature with a mighty blow to the chest sending foul ichor and black blood everywhere. It is now nothing more than a bubbling blob of otherworldly green and black gore.
The two air elementals swoop in and around but stop short of the tree line as they see the otherworldly creature of the abyss has been destroyed. They cry out as if eagles in a wind storm...Sylas can feel them press upon his will to release them so they may return back to their plane of air.

Cerilis Silvertree |

I am not sure what is what...I see no threat right near us..
Seeing that no enemies are within reach...Cerilis waits...again.
Is it something I did?...they all seem to have ran away when I came out of the cabin.

Perri Purrun |

"Is that the violence you wanted? Come on! We're over here. You can get all you can stomach if you only come closer!" Perri turns and yells in the direction of the dogs, his eyes wide and hair flying loose about his head.

ALLENDM |

The air elementals feel the magical release of Sylas' summoning and they whirl in the air letting out a noise like an eagle screaming in joy but it sounds as if wind chimes encase the scream. It is both beautiful and otherworldly in sound. They whirl up in the air and then seem to vanish into nothing.
