As Drusilla advances towards the monster, it stabs at her with its longspear and draws blood! But a mighty blow from her morningstar connects in return. The head of the morningstar sizzles from the monster's acidic slimy coating!
The creature is taking an AoO as you leave a threatened square to close to melee.
Drusilla, you take 15 points of damage.
Drusilla, your attack hit but didn't do as much damage as you might have expected. In addition, you need to roll a DC 18 Reflex save or your weapon may be damaged by the acidic slime.

"I AM HERE!" cries the swordsman. He sweeps into the melee, a maelstrom of whirling dark robes, and black adamantine.
”It is a babau demon,” Angoldir says as he glances at the new arrival. ”Try not to let it flank against you, and watch out for that acidic coating. It can damage anything that strikes the demon.” Stepping back into the fray, the elf taps again at the succubus to distract it.

Grunyak steps back away from the demon with the longspear. He again grabs his holy symbol and expresses the need for a healing spell. Torag, give me life energy to finish this task.
cure serious wounds:3d8 + 5 ⇒ (6, 4, 5) + 5 = 20
Spontaneously exchanging remove blindness/deafness for cure serious.
"Nice hit on the thing, Dru." "Don't you have cold iron? Angoldir says it is much more harmful to these demons."
Abaal finally enters the fray, slashing at the succubus with his falchion! Grunyak manages to get just outside the range of the new monster and ask Torag for some divine healing.
Drusilla, your +1 Morningstar will be classified as a one-handed hafted weapon for the purpose of determining its hardness and hit points (with a bonus to each from its enhancement), bringing its total to: hardness 7 and 15 hit points. The acidic slime does not manage to get past your weapon's hardness on your first attack.
Abaal, your first attack hits but your second attack *just* misses (even with her entangled).
”Aren’t you a nice little helper!” the succubus mocks as she turns her attention to Angoldir and burns him with her flaming sword!
She then shouts something in a harsh, guttural tongue.
Abyssal:
”Kill the dwarf—his heart won’t aid the ritual, but Shax will appreciate it all the same!”
The monster identified by Angoldir as a babau demon advances and stabs Grunyak again!
Angoldir, you take 20 points of fire damage. Grunyak, you take 15 points of damage.
The babau is taking a 5’ step and then attacking Grunyak again. One of its attacks hits. The succubus is doing a full attack on Angoldir and hits with two flame blade attacks.

Pai's saucer-wide eyes dart back and forth between these two foes. "I can't hurt any of them! I can't do anything! What do I do? What do I do?" The acid flask definitely won't hurt the newcomer, and she doesn't want to risk tossing it onto her allies in the cell with the succubus. But then the babau demon attacks Grunyak again, and he falls. "Grunyak! No!" Quickly, Pai grabs a potion out of her bag and dashes over to Grunyak, kneeling at his side.
Next round she'll pour a healing potion down his throat. I'm thinking a Cure Serious Wounds is in order.

Yep, Grunyak healed himself last turn. He was looking better bu was hit again loosing most of the gained hp. Ihave updated his tag line, but in case i forgot, he is in the higher teens in health. Some game tables i play at get real picky about revealing hp totals.
"Pai, I appreciate the concern, but I still have a few tricks up my sleeve." "If you could take the high ground that would help. Your dagger is here somewhere as well."

Okay, action adjustment is as follows:
I just realized that Pai still has an acid flask in one had from her last turn. On this turn, she shoves her hand holding the acid flask into her handy haversack, drops it, and grabs her potion of Cure Moderate Wounds (Move Action). She then steps up behind Abaal (second Move Action) and offers the potion to Angoldir.
@Grunyak: You can always move through an ally's square as long as you don't end your movement in it.

Angoldir grits his teeth, and again taps the succubus twice in quick succession. ”Do not let the stories of the mightiest warrior of the wilds and the greatest swordsman of Katapesh end here,” he hisses through clenched jaws. ”कादर, मदद लें।”
Standard and Move actions roll aid Yaiho and Abaal again (+4 bonus on next attack) while fighting defensively. I’d love to take a 5ft step back, but don’t want to block Grunyak since he’s our only person capable of healing. If we make it out of here, Angoldir’s definitely learning how to make resist energy extracts.
And if I might make a suggestion, magic circle against evil might help the most for that +2 deflection bonus.

You read my mind, Angoldir, magic circle coming up.
Grunyak shifts behin the altar edge and quickly, holy symbol grasped, prays, "Torag protect us from this evil, as it is all around."
A silver hemispherical dome forms at a ten foot radius from Grunyak.
All,I believe, but Drusilla are in the circle and gain a +2 deflection bonus and +2 saves vs evil creatures. The DC for the evil is DC16 will to be able to touch anyone starting in the circle. Plus as demons usually do I must make a SR check to institute the 'no touch' if it applies.
SR check if needed:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Grunyak also pulls out his wand of cure light wounds.
The succubus easily evades Abaal’s blows, but Grunyak erects a mystical protective field that might just keep him and his allies alive long enough for something to turn the tide of a battle that fares poorly for the Pathfinders.
The flask of holy water strikes the babau demon in the arm, and the blessed liquid sizzles against its skin!
Drusilla, I moved your token assuming you were doing a 5' step into the protective circle and throwing the vial from behind the altar so you wouldn't provoke another AoO.
The succubus gloats. "What is it you peasant mortals say? Time to separate the wheat from the chaff! When you get to the Boneyard, tell them that Avalexi sent you!" With a single swing of her flaming sword, she cuts Angoldir down! The babau demon continues stabbing at Grunyak, and manages to draw blood again.
Avalexi is going to start a full attack on Angoldir; if he goes down, she’ll switch over to Yaiho. I will factor in the bonus from the magic circle against evil. Meanwhile, the babau will take a 5’ step to the right and use its longspear twice against Grunyak (only natural attacks of summoned creatures are prevented by the spell). Grunyak, you will get Cover against these attacks because of the altar and the +2 to AC from the spell.
Angoldir, the first attack on you is a critical hit and you take 22 points of damage. The remaining attacks against Yaiho miss. Grunyak, one of the two attacks hit you and you take 13 points of damage.

"AAAAA!" Pai screams as Angoldir falls to the flaming sword. She drops to her knees beside him, her hands trembling as she pours the healing potion she had been offering to him just a moment ago down his throat. "Please... Please..."
This near-impossible situation reminds her of that mission with the ghast a while back. Everyone was trying their best, but it wasn't enough. Somehow it fell to her to draw it away from them. It was terrifying, and she still has nightmares about it sometimes. At least if I die here, I won't turn into an undead. ...Right? Her chest heaves as she screws up her courage for a frighteningly stupid and probably necessary course of action. Her hand finds the handle of her cold iron dagger, gripping it with white knuckles.

Seeing one of his companions go down, Yaiho rage intensifies and he swings a might blow toward vengeance at the demon-woman before once again trying to taste her blood within his mouth.
Pai tries valiantly to resuscitate Angoldir, but to no avail--his injuries are just too severe, and he dies in her arms. With a shout of rage, Yaiho smashes his earthbreaker into Avalexi's chest. There's a loud crack from the sound of a broken rib. "That actually hurt!" she snarls. "You're next!"

"I see...." Abaal smiles wistfully as if to say So, you aren't going to invite an AoO allowing Abaal the slightest chance of sneaking in for a Hail Mary, unimproved grapple?... Please. "Your persistence astounds even myself. It has been an honor, Yaiho."
Abaal uses a move action to activate Barroom Brawler (Improved Sunder).

While Grunyak casts a healing spell in the background, Abaal lines up an expertly-timed swing to cut deep into Avalexi's armor! Although tattered shreds of it remain, large gaps now leave her more vulnerable than before!
Grunyak, your cure serious goes off fine. Abaal, you succeed on the sunder--nice! I calculated the hardness of her armor as 4 and having 25 hit points, so with the adamantine blade ignoring hardness, you have reduced the armor to just 2 hit points. It now has the broken condition which halves the AC bonus it provides her while doubling its armor check penalty to her skills. I'll make those adjustments in my notes.
Avalexi begins to sway sinuously side to side as she points at Yaiho and says in a sultry voice: "Wouldn't you rather be my friend than my enemy?" An invisible net of magical control tries to settle on the half-orc's mind, but is thrown aside by Grunyak's protective spell!
However, the babau demon continues its assault on the cleric of Torag!
Avalexi doesn't have any ranks in Spellcraft and didn't know magic circle against evil had been cast when she tried to defensively cast dominate person. But it's not a mistake she's likely to make again!
Grunyak, one of the attacks hits and you take 12 points of damage.

Shaking like a leaf in a gale, Pai scuttles around Grunkak, muttering: "Gods save my little doomed body! Aaah!" She takes a deep breath as she steps into the range of the babau's weapon, jittering back and forth to try to avoid being hit as she closes the distance. "Oh no! Oh please!" Suddenly, she jabs her little dagger at the demon, hoping against all hope that she hurts it more than it hurts her. Or at least that it doesn't hurt her.
Acrobatics to move through threatened square:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Pai bravely closes to take the babau demon on in hand-to-hand combat! She stabs at the demon but doesn't manage to connect. Meanwhile, Yahoo channels his rage into another swing at the succubus but she ducks just in time!
Pai, your Acrobatics check was just high enough to avoid an AoO. Yaiho, you *just* missed even with her entangled and her armor broken.

Blushing at the thought of the smooth, round, handfuls of warm, seductive flesh locked beneath the thinnest sliver of connecting material, Abaal swings again!
Abaal manages to cut free the remaining shreds of Avalexi’s armor! Drusilla rushes to aid her friend, but the babau demon stabs at her with its longspear and she just manages to dodge the attack. She responds with a Morningstar that deals only a glancing blow to the demon.
Abaal, you’ve sundered the rest of her armor—and a good thing to, because this is the last round she’s entangled by the adhesive spittle. Drusilla, you’ll provoke an AoO as you move to help Yai—I placed your token where I assumed you were moving to, but feel free to adjust. The AoO just misses thanks to the magic circle against evil. Your attack with the Morningstar hits, but almost all the damage is soaked up by DR. The good news is that the acidic skin of the demon doesn't hurt your Morningstar.

"Do you need aid, Grunyak!?" shouts Abaal to the dwarf. "Without some sort of aid, I can do little here except hope to get lucky, and perhaps even then. Yaiho, I fear, will soon be riding an exhausted team of horses."
Abaal might be able to move back, and sunder the spear (or head from the babau's neck), and then move back if no one wants to help try and grapple or distract the big bad end girl, which might be impossible anyway if she has fast enough (Combat) reflexes. I don't know that we can realistically let up either without allowing her to get highly mobile, but at the same time I don't think we want to be stuck flanked between them if we can avoid it.
