Leothar has Resist Fire 5 from Mythic Endure Elements, so that looks like 20 damage. Now at 85/107.
Leothar breaks free of the grasping tail and attacks with Radiance, beginning with Blue. If his first attack drops that one then he will switch his Smite to Orange and target that one.
"Aye." Dadna said, understanding Leothar's meaning. There was only so much divine power that each of them had each day. These enemies were tough, and it was all too easy to burn through the finite resource. Taking her time, she placed single attack at the foes.
Seeing Leothar wounded Ian starts to get worried about the chief, considering using the limited resources of his power of faith, he hears Leothar tell Dadna to pace herself he decides to continue inspiring them. Keeping the 'ladies gift' raised he waives it in an impressive display.

Leothar brings one salamander down with his first swing and hits the second on as well. Dadna almost misses the salamander but hits it hard enough for it to drop to the ground. Ian encourages his friends again. Enos puts two arrows into the last salamander the second one being a solid hit.
One by one the creatures fell. Dadna allowed herself a small smile of satisfaction, for she saw an opening and took it. once more her weapon lashed out, going over Leothar and into the creature. She doubted that it would be enough to kill it, but it would certainly leave a mark and knock it off balance, so that her comrades could finish the job.
Watching as the dwarves attacked, Ian wondered how much longer the creatures could withstand the paladins attacks.
Didn't want to 'not post' but waiting to see how the combat is going before I commit to an action this round.

"This must be the Corruption Forge that Joran told us about. Four Salamanders, as he said.
I think we cannot take the time to explore it - we should move on while our blessings remain."
Leothar heals his wounds (swift)
LOH 2 of 7:4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 4, 6) = 18Now at 103/107.
He moves to the double doors (50', single move) and checks them for traps (move) while he is waiting for the others to catch up.
Can't quite zoom in enough to move my icon while on my phone. Perception:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Can't quite zoom in enough to move my icon while on my phone.
I moved Leothar up to the doors, with Ian behind his left shoulder :)
Relieved that the dwarves were able to make quick work of the Salamanders, Ian nodded in agreement with the chief. They didn't have time to fully explore the forge. It would be years before the crusaders could fully explore every nook and cranny of the ancient city. But for now they needed to press on. As Leothar stopped at the double doors to inspect them, Ian moved in closer, hoping the light from his halo would help, inspecting the doors as well.
The party squeezes onto the platform as Leothar studies the controls. He then makes the platform move, slowly across the room to the double doors. He gets off the platform and examines the doors along with Ardriel. They find nothing of interest other than being locked.
Watching Enos tickle the doors lock, Ian takes a deep breath as the trickster puts away his tools. Sheild and sword in hand, he waits and watches, ready to charge in if needed.
I realized, Ian may not be able to open the door with his hands full, so just posted a little fluff :)
A small dais of steps descends into this oddly shaped chamber, while more stairs lead to the northwest and southeast. Lit candles surround a circle of arcane purpose scribed on the floor. Overhead, the ceiling rises nearly forty feet. A large crystal hangs overhead from a heavy chain, pulsing in the reflected light.
A tiefling woman and three schir demons are performing a ritual focusing on the crystal and look to the doors when they open.
Seeing the tiefling woman and three schir demons, Ian lifts the ladies gift in an inspiring display, calling out "For Iomedae and Kenabras!" As the others surge forwards he steps into the room.

It takes 30' of movement to get to the demon and you can't charge due to the steps. I think you only have a 20' movement. Steps are difficult terrain if I recall correctly.
Didn't know that stairs were difficult terrain, and thought I was in. Double move then.
Did some more digging. Stairs are not difficult terrain unless they are steep. Just about every time I see combat mentioned on stair it says they are difficult terrain. So in this case not difficult terrain and it takes 25' for you to get there. Only one square was stairs.

Leothar uses Mythic Smite as a free action (Mythic Power at 4/7), declares Smite on Orange, moves up (base is 50' so single move) and attacks, fighting defensively.
His AC is 28 against most evil foes and 31 against his Smite target (+10 armor, +1 Dex, +3 Shield, +2/+5 Deflection, +2 Dodge). If Orange drops he will shift his Smite to Purple.
If Orange was already dropped by Dadna's attack (given her reach) then he instead moves NE of Purple and attacks that one.

Knowledge (arcana) to evaluate safety and effectiveness of casting Shatter on the crystal, Inspiring Sword:1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 13 + 2 = 35
If I pass the Knowledge (arcana) check and know it is safe to cast Shatter:
Ardriel strides into the room, getting close enough to the crystal before he draws on the source of power within him and casts a spell on the crystal, trying to destroy it.
Move to just at the top of the stairs (token moved on map), then spend a Mythic Power on Wild Arcana to cast shatter
If I fail the Knowledge (arcana) check or if it is NOT safe to cast Shatter:
Ardriel strides into the room, focusing on the Tiefling woman as he shouts, "Your villainy ends here!" Calling on his connection to Yuelral, he focuses divine smiting power on her before loosing an arrow, then drawing on his inner strength to fire another.
Move to the square behind Dadna (one additional square from where I am on map), Smite Evil on the Tiefling.
Attack, Mythic PBS, IS, Smite:1d20 + 13 + 2 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 13 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 38 Damage, Mythic PBS, IS, Smite:1d8 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 2 + 2 + 2 + 8 = 20+8 if she counts for first time hitting an evil outsider
Spend Mythic Power for an extra standard action
Attack, Mythic PBS, IS, Smite:1d20 + 13 + 2 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 2 + 2 + 4 = 35 Damage, Mythic PBS, IS, Smite:1d8 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 + 2 + 8 = 19+8 if she counts for first time hitting an evil outsider and my first attack missed.
Ian raises his sword to inspire the group. Dadna moves into the room and stops on the stairs and unleashes her fury at the demon and destroys it. Leother then swiftly moves into the room and attacks another demon hitting it but it stands.
Enos studies the demons and knows you need holy or cold iron weapons to fully harm them and their weapons can pass on diseases but he doesn't have enough time to fully figure out what they are doing. He senses the ceremony has some sort of conjuration or summoning magics going on.
Ardriel thinks for a moment and knows for certain that shattering the crystal would end the ceremony but the consequences of that would take more study. It could just shatter or it could explode.
Leothar it doesn't matter but you don't have the +2 from Ian as it only reaches 30'

"Cousin, I'm sure you know more about this than I do, but I think they are trying to bring something here from someplace else. I really don't like the idea of that."
Enos moves into the room, filling each hand with enchanted metal as he goes. I have to double move to get close, but I don't want to move up to give them a full attack - sorry, Leothar, I just don't have your defenses.
Do I see anything to the southeast?:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
Realizing he needs to be closer to the action to use any of the lady's gifts, Ian double moves into the room.

"Ardriel, what spell did she just cast?"
Leothar attacks the demons.
@GM, I did not apply Inspiring Sword on my previous attack as I am aware of the 30' range. What I am not sure of is if it is a constant emanation from Ian for 2 rounds, or if it matters where he was when he used it. Not applying it here.
Dadna advanced, taking advantage of the demons focusing on Leothar. Her weapon swung out, taking a demon in the back of the head, obliterating it before it could even register what was happening.
Ian moves forward to share his gifts. Leothar kills the first demon and catches the second on the follow through wounding it greatly. Dadna then turns the demon into a pink mist.
I don't think bane doubles on a crit, not that it matters.

"It's an invisible wall of pure force! As long as she's behind it, we can't touch her. Of course, she also can't affect us with anything, but you can guarantee she'd dismiss it as soon as we were gone."
After a second of strategizing, Ardriel said, "Yarnala, get the scroll of dimension door out of my pack."
The silvanshee familiar retrieved the scroll, then handed it Ardriel. Striding towards Dadna, Ardriel unfurled the scroll and cast a spell, hand on Dadna's shoulder, to try and teleport himself and her behind the wall of force.
Using the scroll of dimension door to teleport myself and Dadna behind the Wall of Force. I cannot take any other actions until my next turn.
Ardriel takes the scroll from Yarnala and casts the dimension door taking Dadna with him. The tiefling looks annoyed and quickly casts a spell and disappears.
hearing there is a wall of force somewhere, Ian isn't sure if he can get to the wizard. Instead of chancing it, he decides to continue inspiring his friends. Keeping the 'ladies gift' raised he steps forwards and waives it in an impressive display.
