Kellek probably does this before Kargas moves in.... Very probably. It is almost a certainty.
Kellek says stepping down the final step "Appologies Briselda, but I am not to be 'had' by the likes of you." and with that he completes his spell with a somatic flourish and the word "Nor'easter!"
A vortex of biting cold erupts from his fingertips engulfing the cave.

The three hags are caught in a bitter blast of cold! Ice coats the walls of the cavern as heat is sapped out of them. Only the demonic hag seems to manage to stand firm against the blast, emerging entirely unaffected (seems immune to cold). The frost and Kargas' attack are too severe an assault for the brutish hag. She lets out of gurgling scream as she expires.
The crackling hag points down at Kellek and unleashes a bolt of lightning.
Kellek Reflex:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
He's caught off-guard by the bolt and it passes through his outstretched hands (Dealing 22 dmg) Meanwhile, the demonic hag points at Kargas and pummels him with a volley of magic missiles. (Dealing 11 dmg) The two remaining hags rise up toward the ceiling, now 15ft above the floor below.

Kargas actually has Shield active, GM!
Smirking as the hag's bolts are absorbed by his own warding magic, Kargas' wings carry him in a wide loop around the demonic-looking foe, drawing her attention away from Guiness' charge.
Using my fly speed to move around and then Ready an attack with the flank.
Guiness moves up towards the purple Hag, though she lurks too high for him to reach with his hammer, so he transfers his flaming war hammer to his shield hand and pulls a throwing hammer from his belt as he moves forward, hurling it at the purple hag. ”Gotta get me some boots with lifts in them,” he mutters as the hags float out of reach.
Colvyn walks back into the room. Well, one down, let's hope the other two go down as quickly. He sends a single arrow flying one of the ugly hag and already seems to be preparing his next move.

Coughing and trying to pull his hair back down into place Kellek summons up another spell pouring much of his remaining energy into it. He makes a grabbing motion with his hands in the direction of the electrically-charge hag.
Kellek casts telekinesis vs lightning hag (light blue?) attempting to pull her out of the air. He uses his arcane reservoir to add 2 to the caster level.
Kellek recognizes the two hags as a storm hag and a night hag. He knows a bit about each type, recognizing both as spellcasters. He knows that night hags are extraplanar beings protected from heat, cold, and most types of magic. Their resistance to physical harm can only be defeated by magical cold iron weapons. Storm hags on the other hand shrug off electricity and have power over winds.
While Kargas flies up and into position, Guiness' hammer throw collides head-on with night hag. However, despite the strength behind the throw, she barely flinches. (no damage!) With Guiness' efforts not leading to a flank, Kargas strikes out on his own. His blade cuts past the night hag's guard, though it doesn't cut in as deep as he would expect.
Colvyn's arrow stabs into the storm hag, leaving her glowering at him. Kellek's telekinetic grapple attempts to grasp the storm hag, but she flies free before he can solidify his grip. Astrid advances forward, catching up to Guiness and tapping him on the back with a spell! Guiness suddenly feels a lot lighter and finds himself able to maneuver in the air! (Botted Astrid to cast fly. Hope that's OK)
Upon Astrid's entry, the storm hag breaks into an ugly smile "There you are girl. You came as called. As called! Now, kill these idiots with us!"
The night hag lashes out at Kargas with her claws and jaws. His mirror image protects him from one claw, but the other two attacks rake across him. (9 dmg and 14 dmg after DR)
Kargas Fort:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14
As the night hag pulls back, he notices her bared teeth are stained a strange blue. A moment later, he's hit by a burning pain radiating from where he was bitten. Infected by demon fever. Kargas takes 1 pt of CON damage. The storm hag raises her hands and shouts out "Come, winter! Come, stars! Come, death!" Her hands glow a brilliant blue and a suddenly sleet storm manifests inside their chamber! (Entire area within the blue circle) In moments you can't see beyond the tip of your nose!
Sleet Storm:
Driving sleet blocks all sight (even darkvision) within it and causes the ground in the area to be icy. A creature can walk within or through the area of sleet at half normal speed with a DC 10 Acrobatics check. Failure means it can’t move in that round, while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Acrobatics skill for details).

Second that, as long as you roll well on the CL check, GM!
Astrid summons up her magic to pierce the swirling, blinding blizzard, but as she sets her will against the hag's, she falls just a little short. The storm hag cackles "Daughter, don't misbehave now. Or I'll have to punish you!"

Floating up 15 feet and moving diagonally to where he thinks he is between the two hags and is flanking with Kargas--assuming they didn't move from their last location, Guiness squints thorough the pouring sleet and attacks the purple hag.

Can't actually see the area where the action is happening on my phone--it just shows me the area on the slide, so Kellek moves (half speed) to a place where he can see a hag and still be relatively safe from death. Once there he continues concentrating on telekinesis and tries to grab a hag again.

Alright so now I can see that the storm covers the whole area and everyone in it. For some reason I thought the spell inflicted damage as well. So in this case Kellek is going to have to drop telekinesis which is a shame and move back and out of sight to prepare since that is what the hags in the storm will be doing.

Kellek emerges from the icy sleet to see an opaque whirl behind him. Meanwhile inside the storm, Guiness swings following his intuition and connects solidly with the night hag. Her tough hide absorbs most of the blow, but yields enough to let Guiness know he's managed to hurt her. The grunt of pain helps as well.

"Shit, I can't see a thing!" Kargas yells, before slicing into the space where he thinks the demonic hag still hovers. "Guiness--is that you?!"

Kargas' swings pass through empty air as Colvyn backs off. The next you notice is the sound of chanting from the north, one of the hags casting a spell. It sounds like its coming from directly north of Kargas, but you can't quite judge the distance. There's no obvious effect of the spell.
If you take a move action to try to pinpoint with Perception; DC20:

The storm hag cackles wildly. She casts another spell, this time sending a lightning bolt crackling through the sleet. It flashes through Kargas, but thankfully his resistance to electricity blunts the worst of it. (Still deals 26 dmg after resist)

With an irritated growl Kargas zips through the sleet, heeding Colvyn's suggestion. "Alright wizard, time to do some wizard-y stuff!" he informs Kellek the moment he pops out of the magical flurry. He looks around irritably. "Where are you, Astrid? What's all this 'daughter' business, why is she calling you that?"

So no one has eyes on blue and Kargas is in the storm and theoretically can not be seen by anyone to target, right? Kargas, did you move at all? Even 5-feet?

I meant did he move before in the round immediately proceeding Kargas being hit by lightning. Basically could someone see him from afar or be telepathically told or otherwise informed as to his approximate position. If the storm hag could see him to aim that bolt than we would be in more trouble than we already are. ;)
Yep Kargas, I see you jut north of Kellek. Kellek, not 100% sure what you're asking. Last round, Kargas attacked and then remained in place. This round he moved out of the storm.
Considering all the discussion you guys had that I didn't peek at, I'm assuming Kellek has some critical action to take, so I'll hold off on botting him. You guys can let me know if I should do otherwise.

So he didn't move and the hag knew the square he was in based on intelligence and a little luck rather than just being able to see through the sleet, the way devils can see through illusions with truesight. That's what I was asking Kargas for.
Kellek unfortunately does not have anything up his sleeve, which--let me assure you--irks him to no end. Kellek moves back up the stairs, and casts shield(CL 11 for 1 arcane reservoir point).
Kellek gets further out of the room as his shield takes effect. Meanwhile, inside the sleet-filled expanse, the storm hag continues to cackle with glee "Running away are you? Hah!" then after a pause, she laughs "How about... there." before casting another spell. A violent jet of wind erupts from the storm, but it ends up missing all of your party members. The river of wind persists, creating a powerful channel of air that flows northward. (Marked in white)
River of wind mechanics:
A creature that begins its turn wholly or partially within a river of wind must make a Fortitude save or be pushed 20 feet in the wind’s direction of flow, take 2d6 nonlethal damage, and be knocked prone-a successful Fortitude save means the creature merely takes 1d6 nonlethal damage. Creatures under the effect of freedom of movement and creatures with the air subtype are unaffected by a river of wind.

"I need time!" she tells them, laying another protective spell upon them. "The North Star is with us; you have nothing to fear from her lightning."

"Time? Yeah, I can do that," Kargas raises his falchion above his head, ready to slash or dodge whatever emerges from the swirling storm.
Guiness shifts up towards the ceiling, hoping to get an unexpected angle and cover the exit from the sleet storm. He likewise readies his flaming hammer should a hag emerge.
While Kargas and Guiness ready their attacks, the spellcasters weave protective magic. Unfortunately, the hags don't stumble directly into the reach of their weapons. However, when a lightning bolt lances out of the storm through Guiness and Astrid, they're left entirely unharmed thanks to Astrid's resist energy!
At the rear of the group, Kellek hears a rough whisper right at his ear "Oh. Oh. You'll do." before the purple hag emerges from invisibility and digs into him with her jagged jaws! (Looks like AC19 vs Evil. If that's not correct let me know.) Her teeth bite into his shoulder (Dealing 10 damage) and spread an abyssal fever.

"Hey ugly, stop chewing on our wizard, we still need him!"
Zipping down the hall right behind Guiness, Kargas flies up just above Kellek's head and swings his blade at the hag. "Kellek, leave scrapping to the professionals! Get away and do the finger-waggling thing instead, it's what you're good at."

Don't forget Colvyn, that you can take two turns here due to being backed up.
Though Colvyn's arrows bounce harmlessly off her, the night hag's tough hide isn't quite tough enough to resist the powerful blows coming in from Guiness and Kargas. Her injuries grow, but she's far from being taken out of this fight. She hacks and howls in pain and anger as you interrupt her attempt to feast on the more vulnerable Kellek.
