In this rare case Bubbles will take his turn with me. Bubbles will start Detecting Evil in the area in front of me. This round he gets whether or not something in a 60' cone in front of me is evil. I will ready an action to fire an arrow if a devil shows itself.
All this violence seems like an overly chaotic thing for devils to just randomly do, they must have a reason for this attack. Or maybe they don't, I don't know. If I had moved faster, could I have saved these people? I'm so stupid!
The continued escalation of violence is starting to get to Molly. She looks around at the bodies on the ground and sardonically muses out loud.
"This is the necromancy building, what do you think the over-under is that these students are going to be shuffling around in a few days?"
Balik moves up, and sees an apprentice with what looks to be a badly crushed leg, and a large puncture wound in her chest. She does appear to be still alive.
I assumed that Balik would just run up there directly, using the chair backs as his route.
Bubbles does detect that there is evil in front of him.
Molly nocks an arrow, readying to shoot. Molly, please spoiler the roll for this shot.

Bubbles ends his turn.
Molly’s cap uses its tail to fidget with the arrows on the archer’s back to make sure they are easy to grab.
Be at ease Molly, you cannot stop every devil’s deeds. You can’t save everyone. Keep your eyes open and you bow by your side.
First, two more of the devils appear as if from no where, as if the devils that Chak could see finished something off. As they appear, you hear something swearing in infernal by the other door into the room.
Molly then gets her readied shot off against the blue devil! The arrow does seem to have a problem penetrating the bones of the devil, though. I don't see that there are any modifiers on the attack
Then, a wall of ice appears in front of the bulk of the party, cast by the devil standing in front of the other door.
Red steps up and attacks Balik. First attack is invisible After the string strikes, it turns visible, but isn't able to land any more blows. It then immediately turns invisible again.
Then, purple moves up, and attacks with its stinger, again while invisible. It nails Balik with its tail, but the poison it injects does not take hold. It also turns invisibile asain.

"Ach! Vile poisonous things! Ye deevils!" Balik cries out, feeling the liquid burning in his veins! But then he stops and remembers he's immune to poison thanks to his monkly monkiness! Diamond Body! Sorry, forgot I even had that...
He shakes it off and sneers at the deevils. "Ach, thought ye'd get me all weak at the knees, didcha? Well, suck on it, deevil! Balik ain't weak fer yer horniness! BALIK FEARS NAE HORNS!"
He decides to take out his anger by the usual fashion - hitting things.

Bubbles will fly into Balik's square. If he makes it to Balik he will circle around until he either bumps into something, in which case he will telepathically communicate where the enemy is, or is attacked. When either of these conditions happen he will stop moving. If he completly moves around Balik and does not bump into anything, he will move back into Balik's square. I will put Bubbles in Balik's square, but move him to where his movement stops, if it does.
Understood. Make it count.
"The Strong Man's arm will aid those in need, his hands sooth any injuries."
After Bubbles does his fly-by, an invisible tail strikes out at Balik.
sting vs AC18:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31piercing:3d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 3, 2) + 5 = 13
The devil then unleashes his ire at Bubbles.

The claws and bite cit deeply into the angel, not slowed in the least by his divine protections.
It then turns invisible.
Holding until tomorrow AM for Molly's reaction. I am leaving the token as is, but it may* have moved. Molly, put a target to the square you are aiming at, please!

I'll make it count Bubbles, thank you. The devil knocked them down and are moving towards us. That's where I'll strike.
I've marked the square I am aiming for with a red crosshair. I am entering Adrenaline Rush and my Dare will be to take these guys down. I am using my full round to attack and on my third Strike if a 21 misses but a 35 hits, my Dare succeeds.

Emberwik watched Bubbles and what happened to the little creature, and knows that going through the ice hole is dangerous right now. He also cannot see a single creature.
During the few moments he could glimpse at the devils..
Knowledge Planes:1d20 + 30 ⇒ (11) + 30 = 41
The creatures are bone devils, again. Resistant to damage from weapons that are not aligned Good, Immune to fire and poison, strong resistance to cold and acid, as well as good SR. Their quickened invisibility can only be used three times per day, so you are pretty sure that the shenanigans will be over soon... but perhaps not until Balik has died.
Molly lets fly a series of arrows at where she thinks the red devil is. I did look to see that the bow has seeking... but in future, a reminder would be nice ;)
She is not sure of whether or not her shots hit, or hit cleanly, but there is evidence that the arrows disappeared, too.
Dare succeeded.
Sort of waiting on Emberwik and Chak, as Balik and Bubbles bleed.
Molly, I need a DC17 stabilization check for Bubbles.

"Bone Devils. They can easily resist non-good aligned damage and are highly resistant to spells and elements; fire is a waste of effort against them. They can swiftly turn invisible three times a day."
Emberwik then summons forth several spiked chains that float around him and he waits to see if any targets present themselves.

I'm still not sure how Balik has a flat-footed AC of 18. A monk doesn't lose his monk bonus to AC when flat-footed. It seems like Balik should not have been down as some of those flat-footed attacks should have missed. I guess it's probably too late to fix it now, but Balik should fix his AC for the future. Although, I'm not sure we can actually save him unless Emberwik has ranged healing abilities.
Chak steps back from the devil near the gap in the wall, he pulls out a scroll and reads it. A few of the devils become visible.
Invisibility purge: Invisible creatures within 25 feet of Chak become visible.
After Chak casts his scroll, two of the devils become visible (note the difference in transparency for grey and green). Also, the wall of ice will block line of effect, but both are in line.
Grey moves out of the area of the invisibility purge, and evidently creates another wall of ice over the other entrances. Green moves up to attack Chak, but misses badly.
Stinger vs AC26:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (4) + 14 = 18
The other three don’t appear to do anything

I want to see if the Green Devil falls or not before I move. I have a plan. It’s not a good one, but it’s a plan. I can active my Boots of Lightning Leaping to turn into a lightning bolt to get to Balik, pick him up, then use my Quick Runner’s shirt to get an extra move to get Balik back with us. Maybe. Or I could get to him and then turn into a lighting bolt to carry him. Whether or not the second idea works if up to the GM.
“Ember, can you get Balik back up if I bring him to you?”

OK, so I am full round attacking. With all the weirdness I am not daring myself to do anything this round. I am putting as many ranged Strikes into the Green Devil as needed. When and if the Green Devil goes down I will fire arrows at squares to hit an unseen devil. I will fire my extra shots, if any, one at the red crosshair, one at the yellow crosshair, one at the green crosshair. I will stop if any of my arrows hit something/disappear and put the rest of my remaining shots at the successful 'hit' My bow has the Seeking enchant.

If GM will permit a redo of my actions:
Emberwik moves into a view of Balik and then casts stabilize on him.
Close Range: 55ft Concentration Prevent Attack 0 Level Spell:1d20 + 12 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 12 + 8 = 34
Sorry... I was working on a post, but lost it. Emberwik, I don't see any other action this round.
Chak steps up and starts slicing into green. His blade cuts deep, though the infernal nature of the devil prevents him from doing maximum damage. Even with striking a vital spot, it doesn't fall... and then he bites it. This puts it over the edge, and it disappears with a "pop" and the smell of brimstone.
Then, Blue moves in... as it can be seen, and it attacks Chak with its tail.
Stinger vs AC22:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26sting:3d4 + 5 ⇒ (3, 2, 2) + 5 = 12
I am going to allow Molly to shoot blue, as it is visible
All four of Molly's arrows strike blue... but as before, her arrows do not bite as deeply as expected.
Emberwik then casts stabilize on Balik.
Finally, a pair of brimstone clouds coalesce into a pair of bone devils! Chak saw them disappear and then show up in melee range.

Chak studies and then starts slicing into blue. If blue drops, he'll step between Emberwick and Molly and attack purple with any remaining strikes. (Attack and damage against purple will be 3 less as he doesn't have the ability to study red this round.)
Chak's first two attacks finish off blue, which disappears in a cloud of brimstone. He steps towards purple, and continues to attack. His first on purple attack lands, but not as true as he had hoped. The then bites it, but that doesn't work so well.
Four arrows go into purple, but its infernal bones deflect much of the damage, and it still stands. Dare activates Emberwik delays... can take 2 actions
Purple glares at Molly, but takes its frustrations out on Chak

This might be the first time in his career that the phrase 'stable' was used so much in conjunction with Balik. It makes him feel all warm and fuzzy. And smelly. And grouchy.
