Illthir's bullet ricochets off of one of the logs leaning against the doorframe.
The topsy turvy efreeta strikes down at Matheus.
red falchion v Matheus (higher ground, v cover, v prayer): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (2) + 16 = 18 damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 6 = 12 plus fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 miss
red falchion v Matheus (higher ground, v cover, v prayer): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 6 = 11 plus fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 miss
Conditions inside
Note on cover: that the efreeti has cover because of the top of the door frame from people standing outside the door. They get cover from her as well. She's technically up a little higher than 5', but everything related to fighting spaces in Pathfinder boils down to 5' squares and cubes.
Prayer for the party.

The efreeta worries the dwarf with her falchion but he is able to exit the burning building with Alisa's limp form.

Smoke A character who breathes heavy smoke must make a Fortitude save each round (DC 15, +1 per previous check) or spend that round choking and coughing. A character who chokes for 2 consecutive rounds takes 1d6 points of nonlethal damage. Smoke obscures vision, giving concealment (20% miss chance) to characters within it.
Extreme heat (from the fire inside) deals lethal damage. Breathing air in these temperatures deals 1d6 points of fire damage per minute (no save). In addition, a character must make a Fortitude save every 5 minutes (DC 15, +1 per previous check) or take 1d4 points of nonlethal damage. Those wearing heavy clothing or any sort of armor take a –4 penalty on their saves.

Maybe that does something? Maybe not... Feels like I should be rolling Sense Motive on that :p
You know I will, it's one of Illthirs best skills and hopefully this doesn't lead to Planeshift->Plane of Fire :d
"Answer unclear, try again later." says the magic 8-ball.

"Thanks." says Matheus shakily to Durgan. With his spear still inside the burning barn he draws his sword. "Where's Alisa?"
"I bet you wish you could fly through fire." says the grinning upside-down efreeti to Illthir.

Durgan nods at Illthir. Illithir nods back. Mother Vorst looks skyward.
Durgan goes for Matheus. This is going to add 215 lbs to Durgan's current encumbrance total.
Illithir reaches into her pockets and pulls out a wad of lint, some sand (it gets everywhere), a spare hanky, some old trail mix, two copper coins, and a third of a candle. She hurls the mess at the efreeta's face. Unfortunately it is not really all that aerodynamic and lands without much if any impact. In a blur of speed the efreeta slashes out at them both. Hitting Illthir with a blow that nearly knocks the skald's head from her shoulders.
Durgan dives out the door with his unconscious burden.
red falchion v Illthir (AoO for not having Improved Dirty Trick, Combat Reflexes, higher ground, v cover, v prayer): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34 damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 = 13 plus fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 hit

Because she can read the tea leaves, Mother Vorst delays to conjure a selective channel.
The efreeti slashes down at Durgan, but the dwarf fends off her attack.

"I guess I get to kill you again." says the smiling efreeti to Matheus. She begins to pirouette in midair with her burning falchion. Matheus holds his ground--for a moment before falling to the onslaught.

Hanging upside-down in the fire in a way that makes Illthir wonder if she is actually one upside-down the red woman moves her head to avoid the skald's blow, and smiles.
Off to work. More later.

The Stable (Finally)
Illthir Winlowe wrote: "To burn down the stables or slay?" The skald asks the "efreeti" in a clear voice. She wasn't sure if she could fight the creature - certainly not in a place on fire. But maybe if it came outside ... Or let them leave on a technicality? The creatures of hell might. Those of the abyss probably wouldn't owe anyone a favour ... "You take me for a mere arsonist?" says the red woman with black horns sprouting from her head.
She whistles and the fiery horse exhales a billowing plume of choking smoke that envelops Mother Vorst. Illthir can take her readied attacked but note there is "soft cover" and smoke which offers concealment (20% miss chance) in the way. The efreeti herself probably does something using the roar of the fire and the thick smoke for cover.

The Stables
The doors open on chaos. A stable on fire horses rearing in panic everywhere. One of them a big black stallion snorting smoke and fire, is back lit by a fire in the doorway to the backroom, were the plucky Alisa Patrician lies on the floor not moving. The blurry outline of a woman in a revealing Katapeshi-style harem get-up stands over her.
"Nothing personal," She says, and walks through the flame, and into the barn. "but I owe a guy."
Her skin is lustrous red. She the heat distortion in the air seems like it is coming from her, and her horse as much as the fire.
Mother Vorst turns and tells Illthir, "She's an efreeti."
Walker kicks against his stall doors at the opposite side of the stable from Illthir.
This reveals the following to Illthir. She is an outsider of the fire subtype. Anything more will require a knowledge (planes) check (DC 23).
Round 1 (for Illthir anyhow)! (Theme ♬)
