"Bhagavāna Kī Uli, I need you." The pulsating tumor squishingly unattaches itself from the sorcerer's neck. "Fly high and show me where the demon on the castle is. We will focus our efforts on the true threat." Kalim gets ready to cast Black Tentacles centered on the demon.
As Kalim calls out his cancer, Desmond laughs at the name. "Can you spell that for me?"

Yessss boss. As the creature floats up beyond the blade barrier wall to get a better view of the parapets. There your friend can see six black skeleton archers, crossbows loaded to bear, and other sections of the wall guards are on high alert. You friend has no issue spoting the demonic horror with it's serpent like features and six arms - five holding long swords eager to meet flesh.
Kalim's black tentacles extend.

the spongy tentacles spring forth and catch a couple of the black skeletons but the demon does not seem effected.

*The yellow halo is the black tentacles spell
School conjuration (creation) [earth]; Level cleric 5, druid 6, sorcerer/wizard 5
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M/DF (a small block of granite)
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Effect stone wall whose area is up to one 5-ft. square/level (S)
Duration instantaneous
Saving Throw see text; Spell Resistance no
This spell creates a wall of rock that merges into adjoining rock surfaces. A wall of stone is 1 inch thick per four caster levels and composed of up to one 5-foot square per level. You can double the wall's area by halving its thickness. The wall cannot be conjured so that it occupies the same space as a creature or another object.
Unlike a wall of iron, you can create a wall of stone in almost any shape you desire. The wall created need not be vertical, nor rest upon any firm foundation; however, it must merge with and be solidly supported by existing stone. It can be used to bridge a chasm, for instance, or as a ramp. For this use, if the span is more than 20 feet, the wall must be arched and buttressed. This requirement reduces the spell's area by half. The wall can be crudely shaped to allow crenellations, battlements, and so forth by likewise reducing the area.
Like any other stone wall, this one can be destroyed by a disintegrate spell or by normal means such as breaking and chipping. Each 5-foot square of the wall has hardness 8 and 15 hit points per inch of thickness. A section of wall whose hit points drop to 0 is breached. If a creature tries to break through the wall with a single attack, the DC for the Strength check is 20 + 2 per inch of thickness.
It is possible, but difficult, to trap mobile opponents within or under a wall of stone, provided the wall is shaped so it can hold the creatures. Creatures can avoid entrapment with successful Reflex saves.
Any issues you see with this plan? Karnog does have Craft (Stoneworking) at +9 to create the bridge buttresses and whatnot themselves, if that matters.
"Release him!"
Kalia creates a fireball to hit the demon and skeletons nearby.
"Grungsdi, Desmond, we need to take the fight to them! Kill that demon and it will drop the blade barrier!"
Karnog yells out in dwarven as he brings his hammer down at the edge of the bridge, "Raise up, earth, grant us passage!". As he does so, a stone span 10 feet across and just under 60 feet long springs up, angling up from the edge of the bridge and terminating 5 feet below the lower crenelations of the fortress wall. Buttressed and supported, it provides a path outside the blade barriers directly to the top of the battlements.
With dwarven ingenuity a stone ramp springs forth leading up towards the lower crenelations.
Updated Map with Karnog's Bridge added
*Ok I put up a small illusion of wall based on Felic action which is bewteen the illusion demon and Grung.
**I also put up a ramp/bridge from Karnog's spell to give everyone a visual.
***Remember the yellow template is Kalim's tentacle spell.
Nym - You crossed the drawbridge with little notice after you display a few bundled weapons for trade. Being drow has it’s advantages. The fortifications marvels even your home city of (insert your city) , grander actually with it’s 50-ft walls, you notice it would be difficult to scale, and think it's at least 25 feet thick. A fortification designed for long drawn out sieges.
Your skin crawls as the weight of pure evil reveals itself in tomb of a cavern. Fortunately, you’re use to the stench of undead.
As you pass under the massive entry you see rows and rows of black skeletons standing in a perfect file filling at least a third of the large courtyard. Pacing nearby is an unholy horse and it’s stout undead dwarven rider, clad in its chilling black armor. A Graveknight commander.
You quickly avert your attention and head to a few vendor stands and start bartering and trading.
You begin to hear a commotion coming for the guards posted on the wall. You blink a few times as a large demon snake makes it’s presence known on the wall. She is holding 5 long swords which you can see from your point of view. Her attention seems to be back towards the drawbridge you just came over.
You hear a strong voice announce: "Captain Luther, on this day, we shall rid the world of your existence." Was that a challenge being barked? Really
The vendors start to get a bit nervous as ten black skeletons move up to the gate. The undead dwarf in the fine black armor mounts his unholy stead. The creature does not appear to actually touch the ground.
You see another 20 Black skeletons moving out of a nearby barrack gathering in ranks, and more moving up onto the wall.
The undead dwarf on his phantom unholy mount reappears, a bit battered and he proceeds to have an undead disciple casts unholy healing spells on him. Then he charges back out to battle.
The sound of battle begins from the walls, the black skeletons are using crossbows and the serpent demon looks to be casting spells. Meanwhile the cleric who appeared to heal the undead dwarf begin to muster the 20 Black skeletons in the courtyard preparing to defend the drawbridge. Orders are yelled.
You can hear some rumbling, ”Patrol Captain Luther has fallen! To arms…to arms. Blayze repel the attack, repel the attack.”
The serpent demon appears to acknowledge this command to repel the attack and you figure her name is Blyze.
Resourceful souls, they have created a stone bridge to get around the blade barriers.” The cleric commander announces. ”They are trying to get up to the top of the wall!”
Grung charges up the path and attacks the mistress evil

The hobgoblin shop keep raises a bushy eyebrow at the drow. Then he cautiously leans in and whispers, "Shhhhh, place be crawl'n wit..." he mouths without saying the words ...ORCUS worshippers." He looks around cautiously, "That one there is Patrol Captain Luther deadly graveknight knight rumor'd t'be chosen by the demon himself." He nods to the upper wall "A consort concubine, Blayze, commands the upper wallss." He blinks a few times. "But the demon's priest within are the real horror. So much death, so much undeath." He shuffles and begins to close up his cart to get out to the way.

Karnog calls forth for Torag to bring him into the air, and steps around the blade barrier and skirts up his recently created bridge.
"Stay the course, your majesty! I have your back!"
Ah yes. Nym says to the hobgoblin with a slight look disgust
It may be prudant to lay low a few minutes and see what transpires. May be that I can use this distraction to get to the lower levels. Or that a possible ally might emerge
to find a spot to lay low while observing whats going on.
Would you like some help getting your cart out of the way? Nym will help Jenk to move cart and torward the spot he has found ot lay low if Jenk wants the help. If not he'll make his way there and nonchalantly as possible.
