Ylosani knows there won't be much room to maneuver at the top of the stairs and that there are people who are much better suited to dealing with opponents face to face than he is already up there.
Still, he moves onto the staircase draws an arrow and pulls the string of Bow of the Southern Winds back. It will take careful aim, to avoid hitting his allies who are between him and the door but he will try to skewer any opponent who appears.

as the stairs starts to get into a fight, you can hear the groaning of bodies back from where you were at, as 8 of the bodies stand up and another figure stands behind them as it seems it was him who raised them from the dead

Though his stoic expression does not betray it, it is with a definite sense of dread that Ylosani turns when he hears that groaning and shuffling behind him.
When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. When you're an archer, everything looks like something that needs an arrow through the eye.
He moves away from the foot of the stairs, suspecting that it's about to be a very crowded place. While moving he draws and knocks a new arrow from one of his looted quivers.
He plants his feet draws the Bow of the Southern Winds and launches at one of the closest of the born again enemies .
"We should have let Orladan chop up the bodies first," he grumbles to himself as he lets fly.

Nox is pretty sure they aren't coming out of this encounter alive. If that is to be her fate, she will meet it head on. She whirls her wicked bolas in the narrow space and tosses them at the skeleton at the top of the stairs, hoping to entangle him.
vs. blue's CMD
if beats his CMD, he is tripped and takes B damage
She asks Tchort and Ylosani, "Do you think there's any point in trying to reason with the necromancer?"

Dying: A dying creature is unconscious and near death. Creatures that have negative hit points and have not stabilized are dying. A dying creature can take no actions. On the character's next turn, after being reduced to negative hit points (but not dead), and on all subsequent turns, the character must make a DC 10 Constitution check to become stable. The character takes a penalty on this roll equal to his negative hit point total. A character that is stable does not need to make this check. A natural 20 on this check is an automatic success. If the character fails this check, he loses 1 hit point. If a dying creature has an amount of negative hit points equal to its Constitution score, it dies.
"Hey, Necromancer! We'd all be terribly thrilled if you'd call off your minions here for a minute so that we can talk. I'm sure that we can work this out."
Tchort knows that his words have little chance of taking effect, but calls them out nonetheless. Seeing nowhere to go, he wastes no time, attacking the creatures that swarm him with all of his might.

Realizing that he had somehow missed the hord of skeletons that had appeared and their necromancer boss, Yuukyou whirls and fires the marble he had readied into the necromancer across the room, attempting to fire in-between the skeletons..
He takes a step back eyeing the exits... he is not in a position to be fighting off this many enemies!

the blue skeleton falls to the ground, though that doesn't seems to detour any of the creatures at all
Tchort tears into a zombie but it still stays standing, Orladan tries to attack and though the swing seemed good with everything there, still missed.
The cleric looking at Orladan just mutters loud enough "Kill for me"
Orladan I need a will save
the Cyan, Purple and Green all swing at Tchort

As tempting as it is to simply fire another arrow, especially since Tchort takes a couple of hard hits, Ylosani tries something else.
Instead, he casts a spell while he still has some room. His arrows temporarily gain a little weight, though nothing compared to the mass they'll gain and thus the impact they'll make when they hit.

The tiefling remains unconscious, though he appears to be in no immediate danger of death any longer.
Stable: A character who was dying but who has stopped losing hit points each round and still has negative hit points is stable. The character is no longer dying, but is still unconscious. If the character has become stable because of aid from another character (such as a Heal check or magical healing), then the character no longer loses hit points. The character can make a DC 10 Constitution check each hour to become conscious and disabled (even though his hit points are still negative). The character takes a penalty on this roll equal to his negative hit point total.

Ylosani is in what the people who trained him (his parents) would call a "target rich environment." Everywhere he looks, there is something he can shoot. Unfortunately none of them are "targets of value." (He can practically hear his mother saying that to him and he is certain the Bow of the Southern Winds is saying it.)
He's relieved that none of the zombies hit Orladan. She's the only thing standing between him and being overrun. There is little worse for an archer than having his back against a wall and being surrounded.
But he knows from experience earlier in the day that he's not going to do much to one of these creatures and that they are not the real threat.
Still, he launches an arrow at one of them as a parting shot.
Then, he throws himself out the window behind him and starts moving around the house to get a better shot at that cleric.

Ylosani can no longer see what is happening within the cabin. Or the cleric who is his prime target. He can only hear the sounds of battle and what he hears makes him wince as at least two solid, meaty blows land on someone and none of his allies use their fists.
He knows he's likely only going to get one good shot before there will be a flood of zombies coming at him and he'll have to deal with the cleric.
The elf archer takes a slow, deep breath to center himself,focusing down the length of the arrow he's got knocked and drawn, the tip centered on the zombie that is coming at him's heart.
He releases his breath and the arrow at the same moment.
The arrow hits but is not the killing shot he needed. Ylosani hesitates a moment, weighing his options then begins to circle around the cabin, hoping that one or more of his companions might have escaped out the other door, his heart heavy with the near certainty that they did not.
