Arnthoth's face betrays rage as he nods to Volfie and moves to the north attempting to flank the VC with his wolf. Once both are in position, the two attack.

Ace wipes the sweat from his brow, before adjusting the tuning pegs on his guitar. Remind me never to come back here Atum.
Ace starts into a slow jam, but his song seems forced and strange as his chords sounds slightly off to each listener. Eviolynn and Nikolai feel the off-key chords causing them to cringe and lose focus slightly.
Dirge of Doom as a move action.
Ace sees Nikolai wince as the music takes hold and launches focuses the lilting, off-key tune at him.
Nikolai seems unaffected by the spell, but then disappears from view, only to reappear in front of Ace! He then casts a spell, empowering his scimitar.

I'm guessing that's with the penalty as he seems to be a divine class so I'm just guessing his normal will save is high. I may be metagaming a bit here but that would explain it.

Frowning that the coward would not face him, he does the same tatic except this time he uses the sharp end..
Using Spellcombat to cast Bladed Dash again.. He moves and attacks and then attacks twice more again.. Burning an arcane point for Arcane Accuracy as a swift..
Ace doesn't have a weapon in hand to threaten with, he's currently playing the guitar.
Darius moves, leaving a multi-hued cascade of images behind him. Three slashes are aimed at the Venture-Captain, though they aim to kill and not to subdue this time. Only one connects, but it is a perfect blow that Nikolai doesn't see coming. The rest of the attacks fail, the Venture-Captain's armor remaining unpenetrable.
Suddenly a thin purple mist erupts from the thick hot air of the jungle, making the heads of those caught inside dizzy. However, it doesn't block vision.
All those in the mist (Osric, Darius, Atum, Arnthoth and Grimtooth) need to make a Will saving throw. This is a mind-affecting effect.

Good lord.. I mean AC 38+ vs level 10 and below guys? Thats the AC of a CR 20.. Most of us need 20's to hit him then.. Thats fair.. I suppose they wouldn't an ex character to be put down to easy.. I thought someone weilding a cestus, which is strapped to your arm, is always threatning..

Darius is right about threatening with a cestus. Atum has one in each hand although some GMs rule that you don't threaten with them if your hands are busy using a two-handed weapon (or playing a guitar). To avoid that controversy I just took Improved Unarmed Strike so Atum can kick people who try to run around him.
Atum:1d20 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 3 = 20
Atum suddenly grows in stature, his skin once again taking on the gray appearance of stone. He aims to break Nikolai's armor this time.
Cairo's spell finishes and a ball of light appears in the air. Lantern archon. It starts firing beams of light at the Venture Captain. Keeping aura of Heroism up this turn. And the Venture Captain is in my magic circle versus evil now which I hope does something.
Heroic Pew vs Touch:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17
1d6 ⇒ 2
Heroic Pew vs Touch:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
1d6 ⇒ 2
The young Keleshite will total defense. AC30 this turn.
Sure Osric, your FE applies. Where do you wish to move?
Cairo, your circle doesn't seem to affect Nikolai.
Grimtooth, Arnthoth, Osric and Atum - your mind is dizzy from the wispy fumes of the mind fog spell. You take a -10 penalty on your Wisdom checks and Will saves as long as you are in the fog and 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10 rounds after leaving it.
Atum's earth-shattering blow breaks the Venture-Captain's mithral full plate almost completely, leaving only a few plates of metal to protect its wearer. A well-invested reroll I believe! Nikolai's armor is now broken, thus halving its AC value.
Cairo summons a lantern archon, but the deft half-elf is able to dodge the rays of light.
Osric's arrows all hit their mark, thanks to Atum's heroic sundering of Nikolai's armor!
Grimtooth picks up a scent and follows the trail, then stops, sniffing the earth in front of it. It can make an attack against the invisible Pathfinder, with 50% miss chance.

Ace will 5' step away from the man with the weapon in front of him and cast Vanish. As a swift action, he will swap his performance to Inspire Courage (+2/+2). Harmonic Spell feat
Ace inspires his companions while he disappears. Applying the +2 to damage retroactively for this group of initiative.
Arnthoth swings, but misses. By the way, I think that everyone else is dealing lethal damage now. Just saying.
Nikolai disappears again to reappear next to Osric, and strikes him with the flat of his scimitar.
Scimitar vs Osric, Nonlethal:1d20 + 17 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 17 - 4 = 201d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7
"Surrender and you will be spared! Sarenrae recognizes those who are willing to atone for their sins." the Venture-Captain says.

"You surrender so that we can rid your mind of whatevet has taken it over.."
With his armor broken Darius reverts to trying the flat of the blade.. He charges for a 2 handed attack.. He uses spellstrike for a frostbite to up the non-lethal damage..
Darius slashes at Nikolai, who seems to feel the numbing frost surrounding him.
A voice comes out of nowhere, and a spell wrestles for the control of Grimtooth's alliegeance.
Grimtooth can attempt a Will save DC 21 (don't forget the -10 from mind fog).
If he fails the save:
Grimtooth is charmed and won't attack the invisible person again, nor Nikolai.

I forgot about the inspire being up, so +2 hit/dam on that attack.. I dunno if a 27 would have confirmed the crit but at the least it would be 2 extra non-lethal damage..

Seeing Grim go out of " fight mode" gives Osric a moment's pause. He waits to see if Arntoth and Cairo stop their foe. If they do not, he drops his bow, gets his axe, and tries to strike with the flat side.
One of the Lantern Archon's rays hits the Venture-Captain. Arnthoth follows in its wake with a massive strike that makes the earth below Nikolai's feet tremble. Osric swings twice, but hits only once. On the last blow, Nikolai falls to the ground, unconscious.
"I will report your treacherous actions to the Decemvirate..." he finally says as he falls down.
You hear the sound of footsteps going away from your position...
