Jorrast likely heals Vandomir until he is maxed out. One of Vandomir's arrows gets through! The rest fall to the ground below the daemon. Alice brings forth an air elemental to keep the daemon busy.
You can't tell how effective the air elemental is against the daemon. However, it quickly changes targets to the air elemental.
Round 9 and 10 adjustment. Previous attacks resended.
First,t the daemon unleashes a cloud of corpse-bloated, biting black flies in a 20-foot cone. Those caught in the cone take points of slashing damage. A DC 21 Reflex save halves this damage. Those who take any damage are also sickened for 1 minute. In addition, the flies linger for rounds, congealing into a buzzing 20-foot-square cloud centered on the cone’s original point of origin. Any creature that ends its turn in this cloud must make a DC 21 Reflex save to avoid taking 4d6 points of damage and becoming sickened for 1 minute.
Then the daemon flies away, provoking an AoO.
It misses and the elemental is put down in the next round with the daemon's arrows.
Xan flies after the deamon and misses his attack but is now hovering next to the hovering deamon.
Round 11
Round 11
As he moves back to the group he holds his sword up ready to defend himself. He coughs up blood, having trouble saying anything as blood pours out of his chest from the front and back.
He gurgles out in pain.

"Hello, you fuçking daemon" Xandarian sneers at his nemesis.
With skill born of The Upper Planes, Xandarian Quartermain lands deep thrusts into the Leukodaemon!
Round 11
Round 11
Xandarian hits twice, obviously doing some major damage.
Jorrast heals Jorne.
Ulricha shoots her bow several more times.
The daemon flies back 5 feet and is gone.
From the trail of blood from Jorne begins to move. You see seven skeletons form from the blood and bones on the ground.
Round 12
Round 12
Jorrast is startled seeing skeletons rising from Jorne's blood. "Jorne? What's going on? Are those skeletons yours?" He taps him with the wand again.
Round 12
The skeletons do come and attack the closest target... Jorne. They shatter as he hits all of them.
Round 12
He coughs out enough blood to finally speak and look back. "No, if anything my blood should kill undead. Something else must be at work." He sets his greatsword before him, full defense. AoO on the last five of them. Likely shattering all seven of them with my improved cleaving finish.
Round 11 & 12:
Alice keeps up chanting.
"They really love their teleport spells.", she says slightly annoyed.

Vandomir will continue at the enemy archer...

Xandarian cries out as he flies toward the archers. "DID YOU SEE THAT! Swordsmanship worthy of the Drunken Hero!!"
Even with Vandomir's arrows that get through its defenses, it teleports away. The skeletons charge forward and with a great strike Jorne destroys the undead.
To make sure they stay down he channels to destroy undead. He takes two more cure lights then states, "Thank you Jorrast, save the wand for later. I will heal, it will just take time."
She skips into the room with a black orb encased in what appears to be ice. A little worried she states, "I have the focus... why is the portal closed? Alice please open it so we can leave this horrible plane."
300 points of blood but you also saw the necromancy happening almost naturally. The bones need to be destroyed or removed.
Then it will take anywhere from 1 to 50 minutes to open the portal. It's based off your Spellcraft check. DC 40=1 min
DC 35=2min
DC 30=5min
DC 25=10 min
Etc.
Jorrast nods at Jorne's words. He tucks the wand away and moves over by Roci he examines the wounds on the hippogriff. "Does anyone else have healing? This place doesn't seem likely to let us wait...."
The fast reassembling of bones was somewhat concerning.
"Guys, those bones come together rather quickly back into a skeleton.
I propose we turn them into tiny bits, or separate them to prevent reassembling."
With the focus item brought back by Arella, Alice starts preparing the opening of the portal for the return journey.
He begins to swipe the floor with his sword, making bones shatter and clearing them away. He polietly asks, "Arella would you please be our lookout."
With the keyword said she complies not resisting the temptation to disobey.
The half-azata helps Jorne separate the skeleton bones.
In a minute Jorne has a 60 foot radius around the portal cleared.
Curious about the bones Jorrast grabs a couple of the neck bones and holds them, watching then.
He walks over to the portal nearly healed up drawing a dagger. He cuts his arm bringing the blood to power the spell again, slice by slice.
Also looking around for an sign of skeletons animating.
No signs of skeletons.
But Arella seems to be entertaining some guests. As she kicks and punches in the hallway.
Jorne cuts himself with a dagger for 2 minutes.
2 damage +12 -8= 4 damage.
12 of 300 needed.
46 damage.
218 of 300 needed.
The blood pools and spreads through the room.
Another minute:
damage 70
300+ of 300 needed.
Xan continues to move the bones away flicking them with his rapier to the edges of the room. Ulricha smashes those bones along the wall. Alice keeps working on opening the portal. With no aid she still has not opened the portal, she has been working on it for 3 minutes now.
Creatures begin getting past Arella after the 2nd minute.
Round 1 of 80
A dretch comes into the room looking to fight something...

Jorrast moves to intercept the Dretch. "More enemies here for those that aren't making blood for the portal...."
Round 1
Jorrast charges forward pierces the dretch pimturing it and the acid slips down the new hole. The dretch attacks him back.

With the blood ritual seemingly in hand, Ulricha embraces her primal rage, uttering a blood-curdling scream of fury as she leaps into battle to hold the line, her axe swinging with deathly brutal abandon.
Round 1
Between Vandomir and Jorrast the dretch falls to the ground dead.
Round 2
Round 2
"I wish had some ale", Xandarian muttered as the wave of demons came closer.
The caydenite paladin begins his attacks.
Ulricha continues to attack any enemy that enters, giving the others time to work this place's strange black magic.
Round 2
Jorrast falls back to stay out of the way of the real fighters....
When Alice left Oppara on her own, she'd expected to experience a lot.
And while she had always indulged in knowledge and useful trivia, she hadn't ever quite expected to do blood-powered portal magic.
But she had faith in the skills of her companions.
"Hmm, if i focus on that a bit more...."
Round 21
The dretch is killed by Jorrast and Vandomir. There does not appear to be any other threats nearby. Though in the hallway Arella is occupying many of them.
Round 22
It begins to drizzle ale.
Alice continues to focus on making the portal work but is a bit distracted by the... ale?
Jorrast backs up behind Xan and Ulricha.
Ulricha and Xan, delay...
Then a flood of threats come forward as Arella yells!
Brown, shaggy-furred beasts stand on slate grey hooves. Its head resembles that of a maniacal horned ape. It comes charging in with a few of its kin.
Some claim the Four Horsemen created these creatures to serve as summoning fodder. Others believe that they form from neutral evil souls who commit suicide. Wherever the truth lies, ceustodaemons find themselves on the Material Plane more often than any other daemon, as they are easily pressured into service—many call these creatures “guardian daemons” as a result. Yet in the back of their wicked minds, ceustodaemons always think about escaping their bonds and ripping to shreds the ones who summoned them.
Drawn to Service (Su) When brought to another plane with a planar binding or planar ally spell (or any similar calling effect), ceustodaemons take a –5 penalty on the initial Will save and on their Charisma check to refuse service. Ceustodaemons also take a –5 penalty on saves against binding, planar binding, and other spells designed to bind a creature to a particular plane as long as the daemon is commanded to serve as a guardian for a single area or small complex.

Xan steps up and assists Ulricha.
The robed tentacles come flying into the room and one of them is able to release a scorching ray at Ulricha.

Round 21
He moves towards the center of the room and sheathes his dagger.
Round 22
As Ulricha comes under fire he activates his Defensive Intercept, coming to see if he can aid her.
Then he moves tumbling to get into flanking with both of them. He then begins to cleave through the dretches and then cuts the apes. The dretches pop like grapes and he slices through them to strike the black ape two more times. The black ape falls before his adamantine greatsword and the red one looks like it is on its last stand.

Feeling the drizzle of... ale? and what Xandarian stated he offers his own wish. In his deep baritone voice he states, "We need to stop this ale, it will wash away the blood. I am going to wish for the door to seal once Countess Arella gets into the room."

Seeing the demons enter the room Jorrast realizes that he knows nothing about them. He looks for the weirdest one and hexes it….
Round 23
Many things happen at once. The paladin tastes and smells the familiar flavor of ale, and is pleased. But then the others bring to his attention, that the ale is stymiing their effort to leave.
"Boss. No. Cayden! I wish the ale to stop raining!"
Then the infernal apes arrive, and figuring since their with the dretches, they're bad. So Xandarian attacks the nearest one. (red)
