Krennel is able patch up most GAB!'s wounds, but little he could do over the blood that has been drained. But the Pathfinders bravely push on. The secret door is not locked but is partially stuck. When you final manage to pull it open, you understand why.
A web of thick, pulsating goo covers the walls and part of the floor of this room. Dozens of misshapen, puffy heads and arms stick out from throbbing sacs attached to the vile substance, their mouths wailing and moaning, and their twitching claws reaching out blindly. Spiraling stairs lead down to a central two-foot-deep recess decorated with diabolical symbols.
At the other end of the first flight of stairs is a closed door, and you cautiously head towards that, trying to ignore the creatures' moans and wails, and their claws reaching out towards you, navigating . When you are about 5 feet from the door, something seems to subtly shift amongst the web...
Rithon:
You "sense" a voice calling out from beyond the closed door, just at the edge of your "hearing". And almost immediately, the creatures trapped in the web react! (You are not surprised.)
Most of the team, however, notices it in time as a number of the trapped creatures pull themselves free from the web, revealing themselves to be mites, and surge towards you. Interestingly, Rithon seem to react before they do.
Terrain Info: The entire area is difficult terrain because of the webs. In addition, moving through the web requires a CMB or Escape Artist DC12 check as part of the move action or become grappled in the very first square you enter. Breaking out requires a CMB or Escape Artist DC12 check as a standard action.

"Lets put these creatures out of their misery before whatever made these webs shows." Yen Wu said as he stabbed the closet one, quickly killing it.
Cold Iron Rapier Orange:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 221d6 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Rithon reaches out his fingers, and several bolts of magical energy flow out of his hand, streaking off towards the mites. One towards each of the three nearby him. Yellow, Green, Purple
Toppling Magic Missile, Arcane Res to increase CL
SR Yellow:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 SR Green:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 SR Purple:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Rithon, to clarify, I see from your profile page that you only prepared magic missile (at level 2), and no toppling magic missile (at level 2). Also, not sure why you expended your arcane reservoir to increase your CL, when you are already at CL5 (due to spell specialisation) and have 3 missiles. Will treat as normal missiles for now. Didn't really matter though. Separately, SR check is just based on your CL, i.e. +3. It does not add your ability modifier.
It is the surprise round so GAB!, will only take your first attack. (2nd one would have missed anyway.) Rel, you would not have been able to move to attack. Will allow a retcon of a standard action before your round 1 actions, e.g. cast a spell.
Yen Wu pierces the mite in front of him right through its thick skull before it has the chance to provide a hindrance. GAB! does the same for the one in front of him with his gooey appendage. Rithon calls forth three arcane bolts flying unerringly at 3 separate mites. He takes out 2 behind him, but the spell fizzles when striking the 3rd, leaving him unharmed.
The four remaining mites do not seem to care about their fallen compatriots, as they continue to moan and claw in your direction. Suddenly, Yen Wu, GAB!, Jangafazaar and Rithon sense a wave of infernal fear sweeping through them. (Will DC10 or shaken)

The ooze shakes off any feeling of doom and gloom, and continues the offensive! It moves further along the stairs to support Yen Wu, and launches a tentacular spike!
Not sure why Yen Wu rolled the acrobatics. Your movement could not have provoked AoO from the mite.
Rithon, transferred your attack to blue.
Yen Wu and GAB! moves forward, avoiding or bashing through the web, and the two of them take down the nearest mite. At the other end, Krennel and Rel pushes through and double teams on one behind. Krennel's gets caught in the web, but Rel manages to pierce it right through. Rithon summons a gob of acid, badly injuring the last mite. Meanwhile Jangafzaar starts a spell to bring forth more help.
The sole mite moves forward, pulls out a dart and flings at GAB! It pierces into his gooey flesh, but does not cause much damage.
Just as the battle is turning, suddenly the door in front of Jangafzaar flings wide open. Standing at the door can be described to be a human, but only just barely. He(?) is dressed in fine clothes, that which a wealthy merchant would be garbed in, but they have all gotten rotten, greasy and corrupted. His flesh is dropping grotesquely in places, but plastered on his flesh is a maniac wide grin. He turns to regards the Pathfinders and addresses Rithon, "Thank you, my young child, for bringing me fresh meat. I was so getting tired of this one. Served its purpose back in the village, and fooling those oh-so-gullible youths. But really, hanging out with goblins really can do horrors to your body, don't you think? About time I got new ones, and six to choose from! Try not to make a mess when you die — I have great plans for your remains!"
Rithon:
You recognise this as the voice that had spoken in your head, except that all the niceties are gone, filled instead with vile hatred.
With that, he(?) gestures and pulls forth from the air, summoning four creatures interspersed amongst you. Their bloated greasy frame shudders with each heaving step, yet despite their shape, they moves with surprising quickness. Which they show as they starts attacking, tearing into Yen Wu, Rel and Rithon with claws and teeth!
I know. The villain monologue that seems to pause time, but hey, got to play to the trope.
Human(?), Knowledge (planes) DC 13:
Despite it's appearance, this is not a human or even a mortal creature. Whoever the flesh had once belonged to, it is now inhabited by a vermlek, an evil demon.
For every 5 that you beat the DC, you may ask for one piece of information from this list.
Summons: Knowledge (arcana) DC 12:
These summons are slimy dretches, evil demons. Unlike usual dretches that can summon more dretches, these can summon patches of grease (i.e. cast grease))

Thinking it was difficult terrain due to the webs and would get one when I moved next to him.
"Let's finish off this duo and help our friends." Yen Wu said to GAB! as he worked with the Eagle to deal with the strange creature, before getting out of the way for further attacks from the duo.
Attack Orange flank:1d20 + 8 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 2 - 2 = 211d6 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 Escape artist:1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 10 - 2 = 19 Cold Iron and ignore 5 DR/evil. Jangafzaar, might want to still do the eagle's attack. Since it has the celestial template, it can smite evil. Might help.
"This *thing* is a Vermlek... A demon that has taken on the skin of another! He has summoned dretches, with the ability to secrete a slippery slime"
As he speaks, the elf pulls out a handful of briightly colored sand, and throws it towards the dretches. As the powder leaves his hand, he embues some of his magical energies into the arcane spray Color Spray, AR to increase DC by 1
2 HD or less: The creature is unconscious, blinded, and stunned for 2d4 rounds, then blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, and then stunned for 1 round. (Only living creatures are knocked unconscious.)
3 or 4 HD: The creature is blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, then stunned for 1 round.
5 or more HD: The creature is stunned for 1 round.
Sightless creatures are not affected by color spray.
Rithon, just want to confirm that you intend to take the AoOs from the two dretches in moving there? Also, I should have repeated the terrain info. You need to make some checks to be able to move.

Sorry, made a mistake on the monster lore spoiler for the dretch. It should also have been planes, which means your roll would have been 15, i.e. no further info.
Rithon also knows that in an emergency, vermleks can swiftly abandon the inhabited body, absorbing much of the flesh in the process to heal itself.
Yes, celestial template smite evil is not the same as the paladin's smite evil. It only does what the template says it does. But no harm trying. You could crit! :)

Rel will activate his deflection aura, giving all allies within 20 feet a +2 Deflection bonus to AC and CMD, then I'll attempt to move to cover more of the group with the effect.
CMB:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
I will provoke from the green Dretch - AC will be 18.
Yen Wu, your movement in difficult terrain will provoke. Will assume you attempt Acrobatics check which I'll roll for you.
Jangafzaar summons a celestial eagle which goes to work on the dretch, but despite a few well-placed strikes, they fail to get through its infernal resistances. Yen Wu takes the opportunity to strike, plunging his rapier deep into the flesh, his blade meeting little resistance. Finding himself sandwiched between the two, he moves out of the way, so quickly that the dretches have little time to react. GAB! immediately takes advantage of their momentary distraction to strike, landing his second strike, leaving a deep gash in the dretch's flesh.
In a desperate bid, Rithon pushes his way past the two dretches. He fails to ducks from their blows, earning a claw that strikes deep into his back. The sacrifice was partly worth it. In his new position, he sends a color of blinding colors into their midst, knocking out one practically completely.
Meanwhile, Krennel gulps down one of his elixirs while Rel moves into the midst of the dretches to grant his party magical protection.
The dretches mindlessly rips into the Pathfinders. Yen Wu finds himself the target of one and the mite also joins in, but he avoids all their strikes. The badly weakened one tears into GAB!, ripping out globules of ooze. The third, sensing the divine energy emanating from Rel, goes after him as well, but the protection aura does its job well, deflecting all its blows.
The vermlek in human flesh sighs in disappointment at how poorly his dretches are doing so far. "What? Useless pieces of flesh. Mine is so much better!" He strides forward ignoring the eagle, the webs automatically melting away to let him pass, as he draws his rapier. The dwarf tries to duck but stumbles over the web, and vermlek plunges his weapon into his thigh.
Eagle may make AoO.

“Arghh! I will not allow you evil beast to prey on the loving people of this region!“ Jang says in pain and casts another summon monster by converting his last spell.
Jang uses adoration on the next attack DC 16 will save :
Adoration (Su): As an immediate action, you can attempt to thwart a melee or ranged attack that targets you. This ability functions as sanctuary, but only against one individual attack. You must use the ability after the attack is declared but before the roll is made. The creature attacking you receives a Will save to negate this effect. If a creature has more than one attack, this ability only affects one of the attacks. You can use the ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier. This is a mind-affecting effect.
Idoes not look like I do, but I screwed up last time, so, better safe than sorry :)
Acro (just in case):1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
The alchemist tries to ensure no webbing will foul his aim, then throws a flask at the vermlek. Though his bombs usually shatter and spread out, this one seems to stick to the demon without harming anything nearby.
Negative Energy Bomb vs RED {PBS/TOUCH AC}:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 Damage {Admixture}:2d4 + 6 + 5 ⇒ (1, 2) + 6 + 5 = 14
GAB!, with his tentacles blessed, pierces easily through the badly wounded dretch bypassing whatever unholy resistances it had. He quickly swivels around and stabs the other one, too. (Transferred your second attack to yellow.) Yen Wu quickly follows up with his rapier as well.
Rel finds himself momentarily caught in the webs, but nonetheless manages to get his spell off, summoning an ethereal glaive. It lands a blow on the vermlek, but the impact seems partially dissipated by some force about it. (DR) That distracts the vermlek sufficiently for Krennel to land an bomb that smashes right into his body, but instead of hurting it, the subsequent explosion seems to have restored his wounds completely! (Hmm, what could have caused this?)
Jangafzaar, with the vermlek breathing down on him, tries for another spell but bungles and loses it. Meanwhile, Rithon desperately flips through his spellbook to re-prepare a spell.
The remaining dretches presses their attacks, ripping into Yen Wu and Rel. The vermlek raises his rapier to strike again, but momentarily freezes, an adoring look descending on him. He frowns and shakes it off quickly, then attempts to bite the dwarf but misses.

Looking up from the pages of his spell book, Rithon sees the Vermleck and hears its voice clawing at the inside of his head. Reflexively, he releases a set of three magic bolts at the creature- watching them fly unerringly toward the form.
With a devastatingly precise strike, Yen Wu drives his rapier through the eye of the dretch, ending its miserable existence. Dismayed by his failed attack, Krennel transfers his attack to the remaining conscious dretch. Thankfully, this one is just as vulnerable to his negative energy bombs as any mortal and shrivels rapidly under the strike. GAB! comes round the corner and attempts to strike at the same creature, but his spear glances off its layers of greasy fat. Rithon only has eyes, however, on the vermlek. He releases 3 bolts of magical energy that slams into the human flesh-wearing demon. That clearly hurt as he growls at Rithon in anger. Jangafzaar bravely holds the line, keeping the demon from going after the more vulnerable wizard.

Sorry did my math wrong. The cyan dretch is also downed.
Rel's spiritual glaive continues striking at the vermlek but although it hits, fails to get pasts its infernal resistances. Meanwhile Rel manages to break free from the entanglement.
The sole remaining dretch, despite badly wounded by Krennel's bomb, still retains sufficient ferocity to tear in to Rel, very badly wounding him. The mite though continues to strike ineffectually at Yen Wu.
The vermlek starts to look worried as his summons are progressively taken down, and being somewhat wounded himself. He retreats back to the open door, moving through the web with ease. (Jangafzaar, you and the eagle may make an AoO.) He then stares ahead intently for a moment, then releases a wave of negative energy blasting through the area, healing himself in the area! Everyone except Krennel, take 9 damage, will DC16 for half.) The final dretch and the mite drop dead almost immediately but it does not look like he cares.

Slowly, the life force drains away from the elf- whose face becomes quite pale and sickly. Fumbling in his belt, he finds a small stick of softened butter. Wiping his fingers across the back of his hand- arcane energy settles around the Vermlek. Grease. DC 16 Reflex, or fall prone- then, the wizard tries to stumble away.
A grease spell covers a solid surface with a layer of slippery grease. Any creature in the area when the spell is cast must make a successful Reflex save or fall. A creature can walk within or through the area of grease at half normal speed with a DC 10 Acrobatics check. Failure means it can’t move that round (and must then make a Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Acrobatics skill for details). Creatures that do not move on their turn do not need to make this check and are not considered flat-footed.
The spell can also be used to create a greasy coating on an item. Material objects not in use are always affected by this spell, while an object wielded or employed by a creature requires its bearer to make a Reflex saving throw to avoid the effect. If the initial saving throw fails, the creature immediately drops the item. A saving throw must be made in each round that the creature attempts to pick up or use the greased item. A creature wearing greased armor or clothing gains a +10 circumstance bonus on Escape Artist checks and combat maneuver checks made to escape a grapple, and to their CMD to avoid being grappled.
