Berato's bullet whizzes out of his sling, cutting upward at a steep angle and hitting just above the door-frame leaving quite a dent in it. Anthys stands, dropping the still spasming Imp to the ground while cutting the other in two as it assaults Vegazi. As for the half-orc, she sees that Anthys is up and mostly unharmed so she fires another shot at the Imp on the ground before backing off and allowing other frontline fighters to the fore.

The snapshot cracks against the floorboards and quivers in the increasingly violent air.
As with his battle-brother before him, Vindlér steps up and cuts the final Imp in two. As the adrenaline flows through your veins you start hearing the sounds of chaos and terror echoing through the street below. Combat over!
Vegazi heads back to her room and starts suiting herself into her armor.

Anthys hefts his shield. "A mighty strike, Vindlér! But I don't know if I have time for my armor. May just have to hope for the best without it. Elaril, can you use your wand of Mage Armor on me?" Can't take 4 minutes. Would be AC 19 with Mage Armor and his shield, or AC 22 in Shield Wall formation with Heart of the Streets active. Not terrible.

"Aye consider it done. And on myself as well!"
With that he reaches over and taps Anthys with his magic stick.
Vegazi steps out, fully armored and with the rest of her gear in place.
Once any other preparations have been made.
Heading downstairs the doors to the other rooms have all been smashed open. Looking into the rooms you see waves of flesh and filth, half formed limbs and a face on each.
Place yourselves on the stairs on the first floor or in the 5 ft corridor leading to it. I will place the Lemur Devils when I have an opportunity to.

Placed. But everyone feel free to move him out of the way if need be. He intends to be at the back - wherever that may put him.

I placed Anthys somewhere he could be adjacent to 2 allies (for Heart of the Streets), and only be attacked by 1 foe at a time. Marcus would be best in the spot next to Vegazi because he shares Shield Wall and Scion.
Vindlér and Elaril know these are Lemure devils, the lowest form of devil from Asmodeus' realm. They have standard devil traits and are completely mindless. They usually attack in waves because they have no better tactics than to mob non-devils in the area.

Marcus will gather his gear quickly, and follow along near the back.
Berato is also a good fit for that slot, since he has both feats too.

Unable to see anything with everyone else in the way, Elaril will delay until after everyone else has gone.
Vindlér, Marcus? Any spells or things you want to cast. I know this is a poor place to fight, but that can't really be helped until you get out into the craziness that is the town proper...

As he moves up past his companions, Vindler lays a hand on his cold axe, infusing it with magical power, since he doesn't have a reliable silver weapon on hand.
Move up and cast Magic Weapon on my cold iron waraxe.

Marcus is halted at the back of the corridor by the press of his companions' bodies. "Anthys, Vindler, are we outnumbered and need the corridor? Elaril and I cannot see to fight from here."
Marcus will drink his Heightened Awareness extract while he waits for the tactical situation to become clear.

"I see only two foes. Lemurs devils from the looks of 'em. I don't think I can move past 'em in this armor. I'll have to cut my way through, then open up the path for you, Anthys." Vindlér swings his axe at the first devil, then takes a tactical retreat to open up the way for Anthys and his silvered weapon to hopefully finish off the first devil.
GM, if I move back, I can't get to an open spot with my 20ft of movement. Can my allies move up to fill in the space as I move back or would I have to complete my movement first?

Assuming that is possible, Anthys comes out of delay and moves up while Vindlér moves back.
Anthys strikes the devil with the warhammer that Berato loaned him.

Overrun:
As a standard action, taken during your move or as part of a charge, you can attempt to overrun your target, moving through its square. You can only overrun an opponent who is no more than one size category larger than you. If you do not have the Improved Overrun feat, or a similar ability, initiating an overrun provokes an attack of opportunity from the target of your maneuver. If your overrun attempt fails, you stop in the space directly in front of the opponent, or the nearest open space in front of the creature if there are other creatures occupying that space.
When you attempt to overrun a target, it can choose to avoid you, allowing you to pass through its square without requiring an attack. If your target does not avoid you, make a combat maneuver check as normal. If your maneuver is successful, you move through the target’s space. If your attack exceeds your opponent’s CMD by 5 or more, you move through the target’s space and the target is knocked prone. If the target has more than two legs, add +2 to the DC of the combat maneuver attack roll for each additional leg it has.
The Lemure doesn't even try to avoid Berato as he rushes through the hallway. Both put up their stubby claws to get at him but each fails and the closer ends up getting knocked over without issue. This allows Anthys to step forward and finish it off.

As the hall clears from the surge of motion, Marcus slips forward, sliding into position and trying to open a path for Anthy's next strike.

With one of creatures destroyed, Elaril is loathe to use his spells. Instead he flicks a ray of frost at it...
The sounds of screaming continues to emanate both from out in the street and the taproom. You see some patrons flee the long bar counter covered in platters of half-eaten food. Despite their freaking out you can decipher that the attackers came from the door east of the taproom.
Taking a look as you pass by the bar you discover half-empty cups of ale, two flasks of holy water, a cold-iron dagger, and a sack of powder.

There is a small silver raven figure hiding under a napkin.

As Berato makes for the taproom, Vindler begins to follow, but hesitates when he sees where Vegazi's attention is. "Have you seen this before, lass? What's so important about it to you?"
Vegazi looks a bit bashful. "No, it just looks pretty."
Anthys and the others reach the taproom. This large, open barroom sports several tables and a large corner stage for performers to ply their trade. The ceiling of the room is twenty feet high. Flying near the ceiling are two much smaller Gaav demons who occasionally dive bomb some patrons who have taken cover under the tables. They see you approach and begin preparing to attack.
