Looks like there is a passage branching off to D5. We could head off that way too, but I say we press on.
The hellish light of a huge lake of lava lights this immense cavern. To the west, a wide ledge of stone rises out of the lava, creating a ten-foot-high cliff above the molten rock. Sprawling atop this ledge, half embedded in the rock wall and looming over the molten lake below, is a colossal skeleton, fossilized by time, of a vast snake-like monster. A deep thrumming noise, like a colossal heartbeat, reverberates through the rock, the skeleton’s ribs forming a cathedral-like dome while its skull hangs over the surface of the lake below.
In there you find a 22-foot-tall muscular efreeti with crimson skin, smoldering eyes, huge black horns, and a fierce and arrogant expression. He wears an elaborate bronze breastplate that is scorched by flame and still seems to be on fire in places. He wears elaborate gold and brass
jewelry and wields a huge, burning scimitar. You finally found Jhavhul.
Read:
Didn't have the time to properly read up Jhavhul's abilities so I can properly take you apart. Therefore no initiative yet.

While Ohrmizd ponders what to do, something punches him in the face. Though no one is seen. After a short moment of shock, the others also get this treatment. Also, you find youself separated from Jhavhul by a wall of fire. The curtain of flames isn't high enough to cut you off completely, so there is a large gap at the bottom over the lava.

Seriyle studies the punching phenomenon closely, "This sounds like a spell to me!"
Hazreem finds no magic in that, but his knowledge of bodily harm and causes of it (Heal) tells him, that he was punched by a big strong fist in the face.
As a player, I know the answer to what's invisible, but not affected by invisibility purge. However, Omari as a character has K Planes 4; I would suggest a K Planes check... and perhaps spellcraft so as to be aware that I cast Invisibility purge.
Khedron, meanwhile, has a fully functioning sense of smell, and can thus locate what is punching Omari; he attempts to return the favor.
Full attack, Khedron

If it's punching Omari in the face, it has to be within 5' of Khedron, so he knows which square he's attacking.

Seriyle has Knowledeg Planes +35 so she can take 10 for total 45.

"Jhavhul! Leave your crazy plan of destruction and return to the City of Brass and we will let you be!" Ohrmizd casts ward shieldSR 25 and activates his judgement ability "Or you will have to face the wrath of Sarenrae herself!"
When he is hit on the back, he turns to look there and smells with his hound scent.

Hazreem glares at the spot where the blow cane from (or at least where he THINKS it was from) but turns briefly to address his companion, "That fool will not listen to reason! Put him down like the mangy cur he is!"
Deciding to deal with the invisible (?) foe he decides to give it more than it bargained for!
Assume Whirlwind form here. Size large or smaller takes 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 3) + 6 = 13 Slam unless Reflex DC 26 is made and is caught in the Whirlwind unless a second Reflex save is made.
Seriyle nods in approval at the druid's words even as she concentrates upon the wall of fire, attempting to quench it at the source! Cast Quench at the Wall of Fire. Dispel check:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

"Whoa." Heshan is able to use Ohrmizd's injury for his own gain, knowing what to look out for as he ducked under whatever punch was heading for his face.
Spellcraft:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27
So whatever is doing this sort of thing, it doesn't seem like dispelling the invisibility will work. So instead, he places the rod on the ground in order to see if he can sense where the genie may be regardless of invisibility.
If Jhavhul or anyone else is within 120 ft of Heshan, he'll know. Also, everyone friendly within 20 ft gets the effects of Prayer.
You see four cloudy creatures that are close to each one of you but the marid. And then, how Hazreem swallows one in his whirlwind form.
Ohrmizd:
You know its some kind of air elemental bully that is invisible and puches people. They are also great trackers, but that is of no relevance for now.
Khedron doesn't care what it is or if it can be seen. Knowing the general direction is enough to start goring and trampling the thing. With mixed success.

"We are just fighting the thin air! That's it, an elemental made of thin air!" Ohrmizd shouts as Jhavhul disappears, then starts to swing in the direction the attacks are coming from.
Ohrmizd's bloodhound scent let him notice any enemy close by, and if he has to move more than 5', only the first attack happens.

Hazreem decides to keep buffeting the air creature here.
Maintain Whirlwind: Damage:2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 3) + 6 = 12 unless Reflex DC 26 is made.
Seriyle launches into a rousing oratory here extolling the virtues of Saranae, which Ohrmizd takes to great heart!
Use Inspire Greatness (Su): Targeting Ohrmizd; he gains 2 bonus Hit Dice (d10s), the commensurate number of temporary hit points (apply the target’s Constitution modifier, if any, to these bonus Hit Dice), a +2 competence bonus on attack rolls, and a +1 competence bonus on Fortitude saves.

Seriyle nods in approval at the druid's words even as she concentrates upon the wall of fire, attempting to quench it at the source! Cast Quench at the Wall of Fire. ...
@Foxy, that quench spell would have a cancelled anything short of a CL23 fire spell; is the Wall of Fire still there? If it is still there, please draw a line on the map showing where it is.
"Take me out of their reach"; Omari commands Khedron. Khedron takes the liberty of delivering another set of blows to the one attacking Omari before stepping away ...
Omari - handle AC as a free action
Khedron full Attack
Khedron 5' step; he has a general direction where all 4 enemies are from scent (and precise location of the one he's in melee with), so 5' stepping to somewhere (in 3 dimensions because of airwalk) where Omari isn't in reach should be practical... Obviously I don't know where that is on the map, so you'll have to do the movement
After Khedron steps away, Omari unleashes the wrath of Erastil.
Omari - Casts Stormbolts
in 30' radius (green dashed circle centered on Omari) all hostiles take
Stormbolts Damage:15d8 ⇒ (5, 5, 5, 8, 7, 7, 3, 2, 5, 8, 2, 5, 5, 4, 4) = 75 and stunned for 1 round
Fort DC 22 for 1/2 dmg and no stun
After Ohrmizd cuts twice into whatever is invisibly floating there, it falls into the lava. Hazreem keeps shaking his opponent. Khedron keeps kicking with mixed results, but with Heshan's intervention that one plummets into a fiery death too.
With the wall of fire gone, you can see that Jhavhul busies himself with the huge skeleton that is fused with the stone here.
AC 13 (18), touch 13 (17), flat-footed 11 (14) hp 80/103 F +11 R +12 W +14
This time he wasn't as lucky and was pummeled for his troubles. He intends to finish things off by stepping back before unleashing some force magic on the remaining stalker.

While Seriyle continues her inspiring performance here advancing closer into the chamber (so Ohrmizd can still see her) Hazreem drops the corpse of the invisible stalker into the lava and mutters a protective spell here and then flies off after the flying carpet!
Seriyle: Move to map position; Maintain Performance here (Bardic Performance 27/29 rds).
Hazreem: Cast StoneSkin upon himself (DR 10/adamantium, 150 pts left).
Fly to map position.
Omari finds that he is unable to hit Jhavhul with his arrows. They just hit his armor and fall off. Khedron charges the last stalker and pushes it into Heshan - another drop into the lava.
@Seriyle, a we might be better served by inspire courage rather than inspire greatness. Greatness only helps 1 person; Courage helps a lot of people (Ohrmizd, Omari, Khedron, Hazreem, Seriyle). Also, Greatness has a 30' range limit (map says you're not currently affecting Ohrmizd for example); courage is simply within perception (no real range limit)...
At the pressure of Omari's heels, Khedron rushes forward, closing with Javhul. Meanwhile, Omari calls on Erastil's might...

Seems like a good plan Omari
While Seriyle decides to head off to the landing where the heat was not nearly as unbearable Hazreem decides to assist Khedron here with another protective spell. While doing so he studies the skeletal form further wondering why Javhul was so interested in it...
Seriyle: Move to map position. Switch Bardic Performance to Inspire Courage (26/29 rds.)
Hazreem: Move to map position.
Cast Barkskin on Khedron. +5 natural AC bonus.
Free: Study the Skeletal remains: Knowledge Nature ?:1d20 + 17 ⇒ (16) + 17 = 33
Khedron, by now experienced and canny in the ways of battle, pauses a beat for Ohrmizd to give him a flanking position...
Delay until Ohrmizd acts. @Ohrmizd, a 5' step into that pink box will give us flanking...
After Ohrmizd acts:
Khedron bugles and charges!
Charge, on an upwards angle to give him height above Javhul who's on the floor - which will draw an AoO
