You can put the HHs wherever. You have a standard action left so you can ready an attack if something comes into your vision/reach. Go ahead and post the attack roll and damage, and put up the hellhound stats in a spoiler please.

Rosa can see a huge neon blue spiked tail come sweeping out of the mists and slam into one of her summoned hell hounds. The spikes pierce it completely through and send it flying ten feet to crash into the dirt on her right side. It appears to still be alive, though barely so.
The hell hound in the way kept the monster from actually moving into your vision Rosa, so readied attack doesn't trigger.
Miss Chance 1d100 ⇒ 29 Rosa to hit v 5' when she spots it ve below
===============
OK I still thught Rosa was in round 1, so missed there attack in round on, or there Sent rolls to sniff out the big blue thing.
Rosa this round will move, now there is a gap at the blue thing and hit it with her Pre-rolled readied attack, as its round two she gets a move.
so GM move and cop,
she will also send use the hound by telling them to bite attack this should help her find it, Good idea its in front as its just spiked one of the hounds. toward 13 Q and P is her move by the side of the hounds until they she spot the thing she move to see 5'and hit GM. Remover she is not walking blind shes using the hounds to find the thing.
Barek draws his giant sword and steps towards where the disturbance seems to be, readied to attack what may be there.

Rosa finished summoning, then readied her attack in round 1. That means it only goes off if something comes within 5' of her (because that's all she can see). The monster is also limited to 5' of vision, so it was just blundering forward until it saw one of the creatures its been smelling. Because I put the hellhounds in front of Rosa, it ran into them instead of her. So it attacked one of them instead of her.
Now if she had summoned the hellhounds next to her or behind her or somewhere else, the monster would have moved to within 5' of her triggering her attack (the double 20 one). After her attack triggered it would have swung it's tail at her instead of one of the hounds.
So the option I'm giving you is to rewind, put the dogs in a different position (because I though you had told me where you wanted them but you never did). Then the monster would blunder into Rosa, and she could take the double 20 attack, but then get slammed by a giant tail and go flying ten feet. This would be taking place in round 2, on the monster's turn. You act immediately after it, so then you could stand up and command the hell hounds to attack. Do you want to do that, or lose the double twenty attack and keep yourself from getting damaged?
Ok if she used that hit to hit in round 2 dos she get back the full action from round one,
So that Dogs pop by the side of her and she can cast some thing more
or dos that full action HAVE to be spent so she can use her 20+20 in round 2 and take 27 HP DMG and Get knocked back 10' and move to hit in another full action GM? is that the cost your saying. All that just so she can use that natural 20+20 once in a life time roll on here.
Which means, that all of this is moot. The thing hit the hellhound, knocked it back. We'll stretch the rules and say that you could locate the creature by sound, or at least know which square it's probably in. You took your readied attack using your ears, and since it's ten feet away from you the miss chance is 50%. You already rolled the miss chance ("Miss Chance 1d100 ⇒ 29 Rosa to hit v 5' when she spots it ve below") and failed, but I'll give you another chance here.
Also a failure.
But because the roll was so awesome I'll give you the option to spend one of your three hero points to make it hit anyway. That's my final offer. You won't get hit afterwards because the hellhound already took the hit.
Ill take that offer GM
This is just what Hero Points are for, that moment when a Player Puts their PC on the line. For all I know that could be a bloody Blue Dragon out there, and right now Rosa is all alone in the fog fighting it with what ever she can call up with in herself. Wile others fly off and clime Rocks Rosa stands alone. And that's her, This is the moment the others see what she can really do. The Shear Bloody power of Hell.
So ye Ill take that deal, why well because yes you get Hero Points when you level, but you also get them for doing stuff like this.
Heroic Acts: Whenever a character performs an exceptionally heroic act, she can be awarded a hero point. This might include anything from slaying an evil dragon when the rest of the group has fled to rescuing townsfolk from a burning building despite being terribly wounded. It does not have to be related to combat. Convincing the reticent king to send troops to help with a bandit problem or successfully jumping a wide chasm might earn a character a hero point, depending on the circumstances. Note that a hero point should only be awarded if the PC involved did not spend a hero point to accomplish the task.
Rosa now has her Smite on guys.
As the others fumble in the chilling fog, some running, some calling out blindly, some seeking what is out there, Rosa acts, Calling of the fires of hell and her lord and master. She shimmers with flame as she step for would and brings down her screaming Hell blade in one massive stroke.
Just as her blade hits the beast in the fog her hell hounds come close and light the beast up with their hell fire.
Three cones of fire 10' from her sides onto it.

Initiative 18
After the hellhound is sent flying by the spiked tail, Rosa calls on some hidden instinct to bring her huge hellblade down onto whatever it is lurking in the mist.
There is a meaty tearing thunk as the blade miraculously strikes home, followed by a bestial bellow of pain from the mists.
Initiative 16+
Barek steps forward and readies his greatsword for whatever might emerge from the mists.
Initiative 16-
Nathaniel flies over and hastes Rosa, Barek and the Hellhounds.
Initiative 10
Rosa commands her hellhounds to breathe fire at whatever is in front of them. Gouts of flame shoot out illuminating a hulking scaly form briefly, but it seems to be unbothered by the fire. She steps up next to them and can make out what appears to be a neon blue and pink dinosaur with glowing red eyes through the mists. She lashes out twice with her hellblade.
Her blade carves into it twice, fighting through its thick hide

Torin retreats and can be heard praying for the blessing of flight from his mistress.

Rosa calls out,
As he hears Rosa's call he inteprets it as she being in trouble. He darts towards the voice to south-west. After he arrives next to Rosa and the hellhound he still can't see the creature, but he did hear earlier the strike Rosa had taken. With that he moves in to the line. Then he sees the massive shadow of the creature, not being able to notice it before because of the heavy fog. By the hairy arses of gods, it probably was not a good idea to come here. Well hopefully my spell is enough to protect me.
Cinderfang leaps down from the rock, and circles around the beast. Sun-Eater follows the familiar queues to counter circle.
Double moves to M13 to position for a flanking charge next round.
Sun-Eater similarly moves to V19.

Initiative 18
The stegosaurus, seeing the hellhound it had previously smacked return swats at it again with its massive tail.
The second swipe finishes what the first one started, tearing the canine in half with a meaty crunching noise. It takes a lumbering step back from all the smaller noisy creatures.
Barek seeing the spiked tail crush the nearby hellhound, follows the retreating tail through the mists in order to be able to attack it. Once he gets close to it, he tries to determine what he is fighting.
Not knowing what the creature may be, but still wishing to take it down, Barek becomes enraged as he slashes at the creature.

Having general sense of the direction of the beast, Cinderfang slowly pads forward to the stegosaurus, sniffing the air as he goes . As the huge form of the beast becomes visible in the mist fighting his companions, he strikes forward with his huge fangs to take out it's legs.
Move straight south to P13
Bite Attack damage
Sun-Eater prowls through the mist, following the line of the giant rock. As he passes Viorel he pauses and briefly puts his nose in the man's face and takes a big breath in, smelling him predatorily, before continuing along the rock line to find his prey. When he does, he strikes out with his huge maw.
Move to T17
Bite Attack damage
Viorel decides to take a risk and try to finish the beast before it can begin another attack. He tooks a step infront of Rosa confident that the giant of a woman can slash her sword above him if needed not realizing in the heat of moment that the fog makes that irrelevant. He then starts casting his spell overcharging the arcane power on the four magical darts shooting them towards the beast and leaving himself open in the process.

Barek carves a giant X in the creature's side with his greatsword, and as its ribs shatter all the viscera of the great beast comes pouring out in a great stinking pile at his feet. It falls into the dust with a feeble kicking of it's feet.
End Combat
Rosa lets the Hell hounds go, job done.
"I am unharmed." Viorel calls out. "I hope that stench eases up. Will make getting back to sleep more difficult than it already is." He comments. Viorel then places his morningstar back at it's place hanging from his belt.
She moves around the dead thing.
She gos moves to a big Rock and climes it, once more keeping a look out with Puppy. Form out of the gloom you hear her.
The rest of the night passes without incident. The morning arrives and with it the time for consolidation of plans.
"If we want to head back, we are pretty near to the area we already scouted so if we go that route it should be relatively safe." Viorel notes as he is shaving. After getting his belongings packed and on his back he notes to his companions. "Ready to move."
"Ready to go"
08/23/4712 08:00
It's been six days since the group left the Keep. After numerous battles and hardships, they have bonded and now make their first return to civilization. Deciding to take the probably easier route through the land they've already cleared, the party heads east.
Just as they are about to enter previously explored land, everyone can smell a strong scent of death and decay on the wind. There is a small dilapidated cottage up ahead in the scrub.
08/23/4712 09:45
As Nathaniel leans over the hole in the roof a scent so retched fills his nostrils that he has no name for it. He throws up a bit in his mouth, but manages to keep down his breakfast. Peering into the cottage, he sees an attic full of dust covered odds and ends. There are several children's toys, boxes covered in cloths, rotten old clothing etc. .
"Nath go see whats making that stink, do not engage, come back and repost or use magic, every one, drop all but what you need for a fight and get yourselves ready"
Rosa dos just that with as little sound as she can
Viorel moves next to Sun-Eater and Cindefang, he then flicks his wrist revealing the rod concealed in his sleeve. After a moment with the aid of the magical item, he creates a long lasting force to protect them. "I do not like this smell. It's smells like rotting corpses." He complains.
