The two Oni look at you with malice and move forward!
One double moves to reach Kiyoko and the other moves forward and attacks with greatclub that only hits the ground! But Kiyoko is ready although her readied strike cannot penetrate their tough skin!

Did my acid splash hit?
Elemenar scowls at the outsides while saying some magic words. He fishes an eye of salamander out of his spell components pouch then pops it in his mouth. With a flick of his fingers his eyes start to glow and he directs his gaze towards one of the creatures.
Burning gaze @ white. DC 17 fort or take dmg
dmg:1d6 ⇒ 6
If damaged, then DC 17 reflex to avoid catching on fire.
Elemenar, your acid splash has only 35 ft reach and they were farther away. :-/ You can retcon first round if you want as your character would know this.
Noddi’s acid and the magus’ missile both hit their evil target!
Elemenar’s fire is hard to resist but the Oni seems to be tough!
reflex :1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
The two Oni look at you with malice and that stare makes Kiyoko miss her mark!

One Oni quitely moves back in difficult terrain and provokes an AoO from Kiyoko and To-To. The Oni then concentrates and darkness is all around you.
Darkness spell see area. Those with Darkvision can see. Others cannot without help and essentially are treated like blind within the area.
The other oni attacks Kiyoko with his greatclub!
Kiyoko, is your AC only 16? Can you include stats in your tag line please.

Alarmed at the sudden darkness covering the others Ki Chin waves his wand at the general direction hoping to hit red.

Kiyoko slashes at one of the oni as it retreats. She is unable to pursue before she's surrounded by magical darkness, however, and instead takes a literal stab in the dark at where her other opponent was before withdrawing.

Elemenar loses sight of the oni as the darkness covers them. "To-to, get back here. We can't see them in that darkness." Just at that moment Noddi releases a cone of flame into the shadow. "Wait! You don't want to hit To-to! As soon as he comes out of there I'm going to blast those creatures with fire as well."
Elemenar fishes a wand out of his bag and prepares to use it.
Getting wand of burning hands out of my bag. Assuming that to-to comes out of the darkness, I'll use it next round to shoot a cone of flame down the tunnel.
Kiyoko thoroughly hits the Oni when he moves back and then turns around and slashes the other Oni although she is blinded!!!
Ki Chin readies to use his wand and Noddi creates fire but the Oni dodges!!!
reflex:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Elemenar, so you did not retcon your acid splash in round 1? And you can just ready action to use the wand and do not need to wait until next round as drawing a wand is free action as part of a move action.
Kiyoko, is your AC only 16? Can you include stats in your tag line please. You were hit with AC 18 last round for 15 damage so did that go through?
To-to, you have attacked this round with your longsword but do you stay where you are or do you use your move action to move back as Elemenar is waiting for that.

Not going to retcon the acid splash. Too complicated and I don't think it will matter in the end.
To-to emerges from the shadow and Elemenar immediately flicks the wand of burning hands towards the dark end of the tunnel. A cone of searing flames shoot forward, disappearing into the darkness.

I have almost nothing useful that I can do here. I can waste some more burning hands from the wand or toss an alchemists fire into the darkness and possibly cause 1 point of fire dmg. I'm assuming that the darkness spell was cast on something that one of the creatures is holding or wearing so we can't "outrun" it.
Elemenar scowls and raises a fist at the darkness. "Foul cowardice! Hiding in the dark instead of facing your enemies square on." With other hand he grips his staff tighter then focuses magical energy on his bonded item. Another blast of fire shoots forward.
Using my bonded item to cast burning hands again. This time I think I get the full dmg and save.
Kiyoko shrugs off the lethargy that seemed to settle on her momentarily. She takes another step back and holds her katana at the ready should one of the oni emerge from the darkness.

To-to heals himself, Noddi retreats and Kiyoko also steps back to ready a strike.
@Ki Chin: You have to make DC 20 perception check to locate the square of a hidden opponent in battle. Otherwise you just do not know where the enemy ist.
@Elemenar: You are up!

Elemenar curses as the darkness engulfs him and one of the oni swings at him. He steps to the side and avoids the blow but now finds himself in a situation where he has little that he can do. But there is no reason for everyone to stay bunched up. Elemenar decides to move to the other side of the darkness. He stumbles forward blindly.
Trying to double move further down the tunnel, hoping to exit the aura of darkness.
Elemenar, please decide if you want to move further to the other side. In case yes then please open the spoiler below. I put both your potential positions on the map. Just delete the icon that is not at your position.:
Elemenar moves on further and also past the other Oni who also tries to strike him!

Yes, against all wisdom, I did decide to keep moving. So I think I took 9 dmg from the first hit, 14 from the second AoO, then 16 from the other oni's attack on his turn. So that's a total of 39. Puts me at -9.
Elemenar reels as the oni continue to pummel him with their clubs. The last hit knocks him to the ground. Even as he collapses, his body seems to find an equilibrium.
Failing to see their foe still, Kiyoko closes her eyes and concentrates on her other senses in the hope that she will be able to strike it when it gets near her.
Noddi backs up and pulls out a scroll of Burst of Radiance.
1. Scouring through boons on Chronicle Sheets. I've got Champion of the Farheavens from 10-12 Breath of the Dragonskull. That allows me to conjure up a feathered bear (use Dire Badger) as a standard action. It goes off my character level. Would this be really helpful? If so, I will cheerfully retcon my actions to pull that off without moving and sic it on the oni causing so many problems.
It is almost as if you are all hit by a temporal anomaly ... or face divine intervention as time starts to flow back and forth!
Before Elemenar can move to the other side, you suddenly realize that one of the Oni obviously had enough of your punishment!
Elemenar tries to move to the other side and although he is blind, he moves at full speed due to his great balance.
"Ha ha ha! I am not as weak as my friend and will kill you all!" the remaining Oni says laughing when Elemenar flees and hits him in the back.
9 damage as before Elemenar and you are on the other side but face no second AoO.
The darkness suddenly engulfs you all as the area moves over you.
To-to is the target of the Oni that moves forward with the darkness to attack with his club and this time he smashes the Tengu's rib cage! To-to drops to the ground unconscious!
To-to, you are still hit as this is the Oni that is still in the fight.

Bold may act! You can retcon your last action because of the changed setting.
On the bright side, the condition “in combat or speaking” is a -20 to the DC to locate an invisible creature. Presumably Kiyoko can at least locate what square he’s in to attack him.
The Tian-Min samurai lunges into the darkness toward the sound of the oni’s voice. Raising her katana, she slashes where she thinks the oni is, and hopes the adamantine blade connects with the monster’s flesh.

Elemenar takes 9 dmg but you have him listed at -19. Am I forgetting another dmg from somewhere? Also, is the white oni really gone or is he in the correct position on the map?

To-to was already at negative hit points. So that would have killed him.

Ki Chin turns to face the source of the voice and tries to get closer to the source. His movement is halted by bumping into something or someone.
Perception:1d20 ⇒ 6 "Face us you coward!" he shouts in challenge.
I am using a boon from 10-12 Breath of the Dragonskull, the Champion of Farheaven boon. "You can check a box next to this boon as a standard action to conjure a small, feathered bear to aid you (use the statistics for a dire badger as though casting summon animal II with a caster level equal to your character level)."
Noddi summons the creature in the square 10' below his position, and directs it to move forward until it senses the oni and then attack the oni.
It has scent which is a move action it can use once it gets next to the oni. It can't attack this round unless it can be summoned adjacent to the oni, and since Noddi cannot see the oni, I rather doubt that. But the creature can be in position to attack the next round.

Elemenar shakes his head in disgust. This is ridiculous and it's gone on long enough. Sometimes he wonders if all this is even worth the piddly amount of money he gets from the Society. With a silent curse he strides directly towards the darkness. The shape of the sphere gives him some indication of where the creature at the center is and he sharp ears help guide him. He also chants the magical words to detect magic. As he moves towards the creature he pulls off his heavy cloth robe.
Perception:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18Get a sense of where the guy is. Also starting detect magic so that in 3 rounds I'll know the location of that darkness spell
You all almost hear how the Oni's wounds are closing.
Let us say it is DC 10 perception to locate the square of the Oni now that Kiyoko has connected and the Oni has not moved and she can guide the others with her voice.
