Draglaurung growls and spits.
Draconic:
"We can't sleep while they're being tortured. I thought it was wrong to sleep in the first place when Osprey and the others are still missing. We must press on."
"We can press on if you want, but I think that our resources are quite depleted... what happens when we encounter an *actual* threat? I mean, *I* can get out of here without any problem, if things *really* go south, but I can't bring anyone with me..."
Amsheagar comes back into the room in his Human state.
"I don't know how they found us last time. I thought i created a hidden area. Sorry guys. But like many of you, i too can't really do much with the set of spells i have memorized today. I was expecting a more forest area to fight in, not these caves."

Draglaurung slowly transforms into her normal gnome form. "Fine, but if Osprey is dead when we get there, his blood is not on my hands." Glau moves to the corner to brood.
Yeah, I think the consensus is against me so if the others want to rest I guess I will go along with them.
Yeah, I selected the wrong spells to go up against demons... and in caves.. I'll have to mow over my spells and select those that will work better. Or we will die... I might grab some healing stuff as well.
The adventurers descend from the top of the glass pillar, down into the obsidian depths, until the get to the opening where they defeated the marilith general.

Plump gnome in back. Time for pre-buffs!
Pad casts a series of extended defensive spells at the opening including Mage Armor @self, Stoneskin @self, Good Hope @party, Spell Resistance @Jeb (SR 28), Fly @self, Spectral Hand, Protection from Evil @self, Shield @self, Improved Invisibility @self, Haste @party. (Duration = 320 minutes, 32 minutes or 32 rounds)
The party prepares for one more layer of descent. Jebediah pounces in, followed by Amsheagar and the rest of the party. As Pad moves down, a sudden burst of light causes a brief flash of headache in the gnome, which pulses out to the rest of the party. Pad falls to the ground as Glaurung shrinks to normal size.

Double points for figuring out what sets Pad aside from the rest of you

Did Pad get knocked unconscious because lowest effective HD due to negative levels and step on a symbol of death or the like? I would safely assume your will save is higher at level 15 or 16.

Aww crappo...
item saves:
Magical Items: Magic items always get saving throws. A magic item's Fortitude, Reflex, and Will save bonuses are equal to 2 + half its caster level. An attended magic item either makes saving throws as its owner or uses its own saving throw bonus, whichever is better.
Mage's Disjunction:
All magical effects and magic items within the radius of the spell, except for those that you carry or touch, are disjoined. That is, spells and spell-like effects are unraveled and destroyed completely (ending the effect as a dispel magic spell does), and each permanent magic item must make a successful Will save or be turned into a normal item for the duration of this spell. An item in a creature's possession uses its own Will save bonus or its possessor's Will save bonus, whichever is higher. If an item's saving throw results in a natural 1 on the die, the item is destroyed instead of being suppressed.
You also have a 1% chance per caster level of destroying an antimagic field. If the antimagic field survives the disjunction, no items within it are disjoined.

Well, only my bracelet of bargaining, an ioun stone and a few scrolls are destroyed. That could have turned out much worse.
@Kludde: What's the DC here, so that I can determine which of my magic items stop functioning for several minutes?

Energy Drain:
This attack saps a living opponent's vital energy and happens automatically when a melee or ranged attack hits. Each successful energy drain bestows one or more negative levels (the creature's description specifies how many). If an attack that includes an energy drain scores a critical hit, it bestows twice the listed number of negative levels. Unless otherwise specified in the creature's description, a draining creature gains 5 temporary hit points for each negative level it bestows on an opponent. These temporary hit points last for a maximum of 1 hour. Negative levels remain until 24 hours have passed or until they are removed with a spell, such as restoration. If a negative level is not removed before 24 hours have passed, the affected creature must attempt a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 draining creature's racial HD + draining creature's Cha modifier; the exact DC is given in the creature's descriptive text). On a success, the negative level goes away with no harm to the creature. On a failure, the negative level becomes permanent. A separate saving throw is required for each negative level.
I forgot to roll to save against these negative levels after rest. I have no idea if the save penalties apply or they tapper off with each save. Below is unmodified. EDIT: I'm not sure if it's been 24 hours since that last vampire fight or not.
Jebediah looks substantially diminished without his buffs, and turns a nervous glance at his allies, seeing that they, too, have been similarly affected.
"Well, that's that. I say we cut our losses, and go."
Remember, Jeb is not a particularly nice person. I am happy to be convinced (IC) to stay, if people feel strongly about it ;-)

Feeling his protection drain away, Amsheagar feels somewhat weaker, but overall not that much has hampered him. "We could turn back, but we would be cowards. Moving forward isn't as bad as it may seam. We are not out of spells to aid in our defenses.
"Alright, but I won't be as effective as I was last night - all of my 24 hour buffs are gone... and I can't replace them until tomorrow; so we will mostly be relying on your magic to take down our foes."
The effective -4 to hit and damage on all of my attacks will sting, but I can live with it; my only fear is that we will run into something with decent AC, in which case I will be looking at needing 20's to hit.
So just to recap: all buffs are gone. Any item that missed the will save of DC 23 is inactive for the duration of the spell. Only items for which you rolled a 1 are destroyed permanently. I think it has been less than 24 hrs since you fought the vampires (we can keep the rolls, though)
Jebediah waits to see what Amsheagar is able to determine about Pad.
Well, as far as I can tell, he is down 30hp from the negative levels, and a further 30hp from the loss of his belt... leaving his maximum hp as 107.
Feeling rather vulnerable, Jebediah does what he can with his buffs.
Specifically, Barkskin, and Freedom of Movement. While I am at it, I might as well toss out a Resist Energy(Fire), an Extended Death Ward, and a Seamantle.

Phew, here it goes. I'm guessing with Glau's current Will save at +9 - 4 (negative levels) for an effective +5, some of the items probably have a better save on their own but I don't have time to research the CL of everything just now. I'll roll for destruction and if anything gets a 18 or higher it can make the save using Glau's +5 but everything below I'll need to look up the CL if necessary.

Glau sighs as she shrinks back to gnormal height and some of her items lose their luster. She quickly begins reapplying some of her spells.

How much damage did Pad still have? It's hard for me judge whether dead or unconscious if I don't have the information I need.
Glaurung and Jebediah re-apply some of their spells at the bottom of the descent, while the fate of Pad seems unclear.
A five-foot-wide ledge follows the wall of this tall cylindrical room, connecting two identical iron archways. In the open arches of these passages are carved images of a heavily armored succubus of overwhelming beauty. A five-foot-wide catwalk extends from the wall into the center of the room, ending directly below a ten-foot-diameter hole in the high domed ceiling. A ring of rune-etched iron is embedded in the edge of the encircling ledge, and is completely legible from the end of the catwalk.
Abyssal:
In my most intimate chamber, I will bestow upon you unfathomable pleasure. In my obscene court you will sate my desires, and bring glory to the Shadow.
Whilst waiting for Pad's status to be clarified, Jebediah carefully moves over, and investigates both exits from the room, peering down the corridors beyond.
Amsheagar smiles as he hears the woman's offer. He quickly casts communal stone skin and dividing up the bulk of the damage on those who are in the front of the fight, .. besides Glaur, since she's already cast it on herself.
Answering back in kind,
Abyssal:
"We have traveled quite a distance to finally meet you."

My intention was to full heal (107 hp after loss of CON+4 belt) at the beginning of the day with his spells, but I did not state this with my actions. Without healing from last battle, he would have 14+level-6 = 25 hp before the CON+4 drop. Leaving him -5 hp after CON drop.
Pad is unconscious on the floor, as Amsheagar brings him back up with a charge from a wand (Pad is at +6 now).
The druid then covers the party in protective stone, then curses something in Abyssal. All the while it sounds like whatever caused the disjunction is recharging.

Pad stands up and wipes a thin layer of dust from his eyes. He unconsciously adjusts his magical goggles soon realizing they have disappeared.
Has anyone seen my Eyes of the Eagle? They aren't on top of my head or on the ground. Drats! I've lost them again!

Oh my, that's dreadful! This adventure has been too much for me. Can we go home now? I've been at death's door three times already! I'm climbing aboard Jeb if that's okay with you.
The wide rear end of the gnome unassisted by magic struggles to climb on the dinosaur druid's back. He then casts extended greater infernal healing to regain his health over two minutes. (80 hp over 20 rounds.)
