@GM Otha - I am not seeing tokens for the creatures on the map. Also note that both Rokgurn and Daathiel will need to be within 40 feet of these creatures for their Blind Sight to have discovered them. I need this information in order for Rokgurn to target his area of effect spells.
Sorry, intermittent internet issues; I’ll get a post up in the morning along with icons for the shining children. Rokgurn, if you’re up there with Daathiel, you’re within 40’…
Rokgurn nods at Daathiel's description. He hovers in the air slightly above the ground and closes his eyes relying on his Echolocation alone. He unleashes the destructive forces of nature engulfing both of the Shinning Children.

Almost Internet-Shabbat-time, so getting this out of the way now:
@GM Otha - Rokgurn has his eyes already shut. Does he still need to save vs the blinding light and if so does he get a bonus to his roll?
Rokgurn can navigate the battle field just fine with his Echolocation so I will have him take his actions and then see if I need to roll his save or not.

Thanks for the reminder Daathiel…it missed so I’ll remove the damage on my next post. Also, I see your readied action, but, unless I’m missing something, looks like they will act before you in inititiative; I’ll check with you after they act to see if you want to keep that action…
Jack blinked once at the lightshow and shrugged as if in response to the question, but instead of it being simply an answer, a set of five burning wings appeared on his back. "Same suggestion as always: throw my body at the problem until someone else makes it go away."
With that, Jack took to the air and rose up to the challenge so that others could get in there as well. With sword in hand, he flew at the one to the side to let others deal with the one that was head on.
Daathiel, Jack, and Rokgurn pass their saves and are immune from that effect for 24 hours. Jack, I assume Tim is staying back? Bed time for me, I will post in the morning…
Jack, I'm assuming the first attack misses due to Haste/Naturalist?
...and his second touch penetrates Jack's defenses and burns the ifrit, albeit his resistance dulls the damage a bit...although he feels the burning lingers longer than normal...
Jack, you'll receive 2d6 fire damage each round for 5 rounds...

Jack let out a laugh and dodged the fiery touch. "As useful as it would be for you to just heal me with fire, I'll pass for now." He swung his sword again as it started to glow, but he was too busy taunting his target to make contact on the first swing. "Hopefully you can do something other than use fire or this is going to go poorly for you."
@GM Otha - As of your last post. I do not think that the damage was calculated properly for the Shinning Children. After my last spell and Jack's attack last round Red should be at -66 hit points (20+22+24) and Orange should be at -68 (20+48) hit points. This does not include the damage from Jack's last post (above).
Yeah, sorry, I screwed that up pretty bad…I forgot to include Jack’s attack and used your save roll as the damage for your attack. I tried to squeeze in a post while I was teleworking, and was careless, my apologies. Thanks for the correction and I will update damage in my next post later tonight…
Through his dodging panache, Jack is able to avoid a blow that seemed unavoidable...but only one of his sword strikes breaks through the child's defenses, to add more damage to his earlier blow...

Yuri swiftly pops a vial out of his wrist sheath and chugs it down. Swift to retrieve and Standard to activate Potion of Fly.
Then he lets his temper loose once again and flies forward to join the battle. Free action to enter rage - round 1/33; move action to fly up to the enemies (adjacent) - this will provoke if they have reach, though Yuri will attempt Acrobatics checks to avoid any AoO.
Acrobatics vs 1st potential AoO (only if they have 10' reach):1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23
Acrobatics vs 2nd potential AoO (only if they have 10' reach), +2 DC:1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23
Yuri grins at the Shining Children. "C'mere ya l'il brats - let's play - come 'n get me!"
Free action to activate Come and Get Me. Note that Yuri is now adjacent but has 10' reach (with his dorn-dergar) so if they attempt to 5' step away they will still provoke if they cast (or use ranged attacks).
Free action to activate Come and Get Me. Yuri has Combat Reflexes and a total of 4 AoO per round. He has reach 10 feet away with his dorn-dergar and simultaneously reach 5 feet away with his dwarven boulder helmet. Come and Get Me gives his foes +4 on attacks and damage against him, but each attack provokes an AoO that is resolved before the attack against him (and if they are dazed from Dazing Assault by this then that would prevent any remaining attacks from being executed).

Yuri's current AC is 37 (Touch is 18), but foes get +4 to hit him from CAGM
Also, GM, it's not clear which square the shining children are in on the map. Yuri is attempting to be adjacent to both of them, if possible.

Vladek enters the room as a wiry blur against the wall; once there, he exploits the one weakness he knows of these entities, blasting them both with a mighty stroke of lightning!
DM:
Hopefully, angling won't be an issue and/or there's some way for me to snag them both despite my being on the floor. If that would be a problem, I don't know if you'd allow me to fly in (20' up, like them) without having to spend a standard action 'launching'? Different DMs have said both 'yea' and 'nay' to that.

@Daathiel - In this case it will not matter much as they have Resist Sonic 10. :)
Ah, that's a rare one, and Daathiel doesn't actually know that. Well, Ear-Piercing Scream pretty much only works if they fail the save (small chance) so I may as well keep that action, even if Discordant Voice is ineffective.

GM, a couple of questions: first, I think Yuri should have gotten a total of 4 AoO's (three from Come and Get Me, and one from Orange making a ranged attack within his reach. The first two, vs Red, would have used the posted Boulder Helmet attacks (i.e. 5' reach) which were a 33 and a 25, so presumably the first hit and the second didn't. The second two AoOs would have depended on whether Orange stepped 5' away (in your post you say that he stepped back, but he is still adjacent on the map). If he stepped 5' away in order to cast, then AoOs 3 & 4 would have used the first two posted Dorn-Dergar attacks (i.e. a 32 and a 39); on the other hand, if he remained adjacent then AoOs 3 & 4 would have used the last two Boulder Helmet attacks (i.e. 32 and 38).
Second, for all of these AoOs, any of them that hit will require the Shining Child to make a DC 24 Fort or be dazed for 1 round (and hence lose the rest of its attacks). Of course maybe they are immune to anything with a Fort save but it would be helpful if you can tell me if Yuri has any idea (i.e. can he tell if the ability is useless here, or are they simply rolling well on their saves) because if it's useless I'll turn it off (it imposes a -5 on my attacks, so no need to use it if it can't affect them).
Lastly, I think you didn't add the +4 dmg from CAGM to your attacks (or the +4 to hit?, not that you need it!). I think it applies to all attacks, not just melee ones, so if all three of those attacks went through (i.e. neither Shining Child was dazed before it could make its attack), then the total dmg would be +12 higher, for a total of 91 dmg. I don't think Yuri's DR 2/- applies to any of these attacks since they are all fire dmg.
I'll wait to hear from you before posting my attacks since I don't want to bother using Dazing Assault if I know they are immune.
Sorry, Yuri, I always forget about Dazed and the +4 Damage…thanks for correcting me. The searing ray ranged attack is not a spell so she’s not casting it’s just a ranged attack…let me reread…standby…

GM, ranged attacks also provoke AoOs, just like spells, as one of my PCs discovered to my dismay when I made my concentration check to cast defensively but still cast a ray spell. Oops - that was a painful discovery!
Yuri roars with bloodlust and rage and presses on against the shiny kids, starting with orange and then moving on to red if orange goes down. He remains within 5' so he bashes them with his head rather than his dorn-dergar.
Maintain rage: 2/33
Yuri's full attack sequence 5' away:
All attacks include: Power Attack, Witch Hunter (rage power bonus dmg), Dazing Assault, haste, Inspire Courage (Naturalist)

Free action to activate Come and Get Me. Yuri has Combat Reflexes and a total of 4 AoO per round. He has reach 10 feet away with his dorn-dergar and simultaneously reach 5 feet away with his dwarven boulder helmet. Come and Get Me gives his foes +4 on attacks and damage against him, but each attack provokes an AoO that is resolved before the attack against him (and if they are dazed from Dazing Assault by this then that would prevent any remaining attacks from being executed).

Yuri, my apologies, I must not be fully understanding; I applied one of your pre-rolled AoOs when she attempted the ranged attack (the one which dazed her). Are you supposed to get two AoOs for that?
One of Yuri's attacks smashes orange's head in, she drops to the ground with a thud...
I'll call it as red only has 1 hp left and no way it lasts past this round...
The combined efforts of Jack, Qadathra, & Vladek swiftly take care of red and she drops down beside her sister...

I would rule that it gives Yuri two AoOs, one for making a ranged attack within reach, and one for CAGM, though I suppose I can see how a GM might rule otherwise. Moot now but an interesting rules question.

Jack's wings faded away and shook his head at the expensive scrolls. "Wish I understood the logic in that. Being buried with a weapon or instrument makes some sort of sense as the person likely would have used then. The scrolls wouldn't seem to have the same sentimental value. Unless the dead folk were the scribes of those scrolls."

Yuri calms down, no longer enraged, takes a swig from his flask in salute to Cayden, and asks one of his comrades to use his wands to heal his minor scratches.

He's not much interested in the treasure they've found but he nods at the shortbow. "I'll take that if no one else has an interest..."(I'm happy to defer to anyone who is likely to use it - Yuri currently doesn't have any ranged option but of course he prefers to get up close anyway.)"Keep that thing away from me, I'll thank ye very much!"(oops, due to alignment restrictions he wants nothing to do with it!)
