Shin steps to the devil, takes a pummeling stnace, and begins punching.
Pummeling Style, add all damage before deducting DR. Also, if crit confirms, all attacks land.
Pummeling Style:
As a full-round action, you can pool all your attack potential in one devastating punch. Make a number of rolls equal to the number of attacks you can make with a full attack or a flurry of blows (your choice) with the normal attack bonus for each attack. For each roll that is a hit, you deal the normal amount of damage, adding it to any damage the attack has already dealt from previous rolls (if any). If any of the attack rolls are critical threats, make one confirmation roll for the entire attack at your highest base attack bonus. If it succeeds, the entire attack is a confirmed critical hit.
Jebediah simply rips the demon apart, just as Nalshene dispels the wall of ice, allowing Narshala to rush in. Glaurung shows her excellent blind-fighting skills and hits the devil time after time. The infernal shielding of the devil make sure that she leaves very little damage, though.

Moved toward the wrong one. Shin would gave stepped toward green.
A storm of lightning starts to gather over Amsheagar, who is slowly bringing his spell to completion, as the devil starts biting and clawing the flying dragon Glaurung
Sorry.. wasn't getting notified about new posts. I won't cast Lightning Storm, since i still have charges from it's previous casting. I will take a stander action. It hasn't been 14 minutes since we fought the demon in the other world, right?
Bolt:5d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 2, 6, 1) = 16
next round,
Amsheagar moves to see the new demon and calls down another bolt.
Bolt:5d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 4, 1, 2) = 18

Nalshene flies forward to where the others are fighting the last demon and casts a Tenebrous shadow evocation in the form of a battering blast spell.
Spell resistance check:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23 CL is 14th, so I get two balls of force. The devil will need to make a DC 28 Will save and then if either of the following Bull Rush attempts succeed, it will also need a DC 28 Reflex save or fall prone. In either case, it will be pushed back by 5 feet for every 5 which I beat its CMD on the bull rush attempts.
The storm intensifies, and two bolt of lightning strike down on the devil. The dragon next to the devil strikes with a claw and nasty sharp teeth, rending the tough skin of the fiend.
Fort:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31
An unheard sound seems to wreak havoc on the devil, though the otherworldly strength of the infernal creature makes it shrug away most of the damage.
Nalshene's evocation tricks the devil, and two balls of force pummel the devil into submission. It is pushed all over the place, and battered and beaten, it stops moving.
Several of the students didn't make, but the ones you've saved have been spared a horrible, torturous death. The sound of panic and screams can still be heard from outside the hall.

Glaurung flies out towards the screams! My dragon form lasts 12 minutes by the way; let me know if/when it runs out. Seems like we've just been flying from fight to fight so far so it probably hasn't been more than a few minutes.

Shin has not gotten on an eagle. If there is still an opportunity, he will, otherwise, he'll drink a potion of fly.
Looks like the eagles are on the clock anyway. Assume ten rounds have passed for exiting the hall of whispers and and crossing half the Acadamae ground. No problem for the spells lasting minutes, but the spells lasting rounds would have mostly ended.
While the party flies to its next location, a horrible ice devil suddenly teleports in their midst
Before the adventurers can so much as react, the monster has created a storm of magical hailstones, turning the campus ground into a veritable blizzard.

Nalshene flies through the hail and moves directly behind Glaurung (so that the devil won't get AOOs on her) and will cast a Quickened Tenebrous color spray (missing Glaurung) using a pinch of dweomer's essence to increase its potency.
SR check:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34 The devil will need to make a DC 29 Will save or be affected as if it had 10 less hit dice.
If the devil doesn't go down from that, Nalshene will then cast a Tenebrous shadow conjuration mimicking acid arrow.
Ranged touch:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 acid:2d6 ⇒ (1, 5) = 6
If the acid arrow hits, the devil will take an additional 2d6 acid damage each round for the next 5 rounds.
Finally, Narshala will fly around the devil to flank it, attempting to avoid AOOs. Acro:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28
And will then attack with a talon.
talon:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19 damage:1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Pad casts Fly on himself and travels with his companions to the next location.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pad grins and flys out of the hail north of his foe. He casts Fire Snake in a direct line south until it wraps around the Ice Devil.
"What cold, miserable weather we are having this time of year. We need a bonfire!"

We should really be making Knowledge checks to determine what these things are immune to. Cuz I happen to know OOC that this guy is immune to fire, unfortunately. :-P Knowledge(planes):1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
I MIGHT be able to tell you about it. But either way, your spell probably isn't going to be very useful.
Glaurung and Nalshene feels their hairs rise as they move within range of the ice devil, and the aura of dread is too much for Narshala to take. She flies off, panicked by the presence of the devil.
Nalshene and Glaurung are shaken (1 rnd), Narshala is panicked.
The Gelugon strikes with his spear as Glaurung moves into range
AoO:1d20 + 21 ⇒ (15) + 21 = 362d6 + 10 ⇒ (5, 1) + 10 = 16I need a fort save
Nalshene, how many of those quickened spells do you have left for today?
Female gnome Sorcerer 16/Oracle 1 | hp 88/89 (1 TEMP) | AC 15, T 13, FF 14 | Fort +6, Ref +6, Will +11 | Perception +25
I have only one more level 5 spell slot, so that'd the last level 1 spell I can quicken. I also have a few level 6 slots that I can quicken into though. Gotta love that feat!

Shin casts a spell, giving himself the strength of a bull, then moves toward the devil.
Eagles last hours per level... unless they attack, which they haven't.
Amsheagar takes the damage from the cold ice storm and flies out of it's range. Casting Flame Strike dealing damage:14d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 5, 6, 5, 6, 3, 1, 5, 4, 5, 2, 6, 1) = 58 of holy and fire. 20 reflex for half damage.
second round Amsheagar rushes in and bites and smites at the demon. bite:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30damage+smite:2d6 + 35 ⇒ (1, 6) + 35 = 42note, Amsheagar is a huge eagle with reach of 10. So, he is outside of the aura.
Amsheagar burns the demon with holy light, then swoops in to smite the devil. Amsheager from above and Jebediah from below scratch and bite at the demon, and finally manage to bring it down.
Combat over!
All around, the students and teachers of the academae are mopping up minor demons, but the worst of the infernal assault seems to have passed.
The students and staff are amazed to see that the demon bodies do not disappear - as would be the case with summoned creatures - but rather remain dead on the ground. The latter seems to indicate that the devils were actually inhabiting the material plane.
An argument ensues between students of the schools of necromancy and summoning, each wanting to study the devils for their own purposes. After some contention, a great deal of shouting, and threats of magical violence, Toff Ornelos emerges from hiding: There are more than enough corpses for both schools to study he says, The Hall of Whispers can experiment to determine what properties the fiendish bodies might possess, while the Hall of Summoning can perform its own tests to determine where so many devils came from, and why they appeared right on the heels of the first champions of the Breaching Festival since the contest’s earliest days.
"Well, I imagine they came through the rift from the demiplane we were sent to when we passed through the doors on the final Hall," Jebediah adds helpfully. "I also dare say that is why no-one has come back before; inter-planar travel can be a tad hard on the unprepared. We were just lucky to go through as a team..."

"Precisely," Glaurung adds as she shifts back into gnome-form. "Just what kind of contest is this anyways? Sending people to a Hell demiplane to be tortured forever? That wasn't in the description! Either way, I think we won and are deserving of the rewards but I'd still like some explanation."
