As Fox is about to maneuver around the grappled "Faithcarcass", the vrock falls limp in Bear's mighty grip, succumbing to the bloodletting of Zagathoth and his magic falchion Doomcrescent!
The original vrock demon expires in Johann's furry arms! Well done, Crusaders!

edit: and with align weapon that should bring the total to 117 damage, I believe
In Abyssal: SSSCCCRRREEEEEEECCHHHH!!!! HELP ME, BROTHER!! THIS ORC IS DESTROYING MEEEE!!!! IT WEILDS A SACRED BLADE!!!
Geysers of stinking black ichor gush from the several deep gashes inflicted by Zagathoth with Doomcrescent!

The Bear locks a powerful claw down on the first vrock demon's right arm, squeezing like the tentacles of the mighty kraken!
HHHIIISSSSS!!!
After DR, 4 damage taken... Down 74 damage total...
As Arc dashes to within ten feet of Faithcarcass, the vrock demon lashes out with a claw...AoO 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31 with -1 Str damage penalty factored in, dealing 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 2) + 4 = 12 damage to Arc!...slashing four bloody, parallel gashes across the Scarlet Magus' right cheek!
Arc strikes the demon with Sanguinelle, but the demon scoffs in Abyssal: Are you trying to tickle me, little red fool!?
Takes 1 damage after DR, down 70 HP total...
Round 2:
Concentration check to cast defensively vs DC 21...1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 succeeds! Casts summoning spell to summon another vrock demon with 35% chance of success, succeeds on roll of 1-35...1d100 ⇒ 20 succeeds!
The vrock demon spreads out its black wings, raises its taloned hands upward, and dances obscenely, horrifically, for several seconds, chanting in guttural Abyssal: From the toxic skies of the Abyss, I call thee, Brother Maggotwing!!
To the adventurers' horror, a large black cloud of stinking smoke expands next to the demon, and a second, almost identical vrock demon begins to materialize within it!
As a free action, Faithcarcass also releases a burst of spores that deal 1d8 ⇒ 3 damage to both Johann and Zagathoth...
A cloud of dark spores burst from the chanting vrock's body, enveloping Johann and Zagathoth, and penetrating their skins painfully! Immediately, the spores begin to sprout ugly green vegetation or fungus!
Johann Kaltgeboren- Dire Bear! wrote: Things are getting a little confusing. I think I can go?
Johann holds back a brief second to get Blur from his friend the Fox, and then takes off. With haste, he moves like the wind, covering 70 feet in a few seconds. He is able to approach and swing his claws, mostly interested in grabbing on and holding the demon still.
[dice= Claw Attack & damage]d20+10; d6+6

Close... Currently CMD 26 with Str damage penalty factored in...
The Bear’s swift claw rakes across the feathered throat as if scraping stone, seemingly ineffective!
DR 10/good
The demon shriek-cackles with insane bloodlust! CRAAAAWWW!!! CRAAAAAWWW!!! CRRRAAAAAAAWWWWKKKK!!!
Zagathoth wrote: I think it should be down 69? With Boga's spell that attack shouldn't have been subject to DR, I thought? Yes, you are correct, my bad... Boga did make Doomcrescent good-aligned temporarily, so that crit inflicted the full 45 damage, bringing the demon to 69 damage total...
“Faithcarcass” the Vrock Demon wrote: Zagathoth wrote: talking may be a free action, but using its greater teleport ability is a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity...
Zagathoth's legs tighten to spring after the demon but at the priest's command he freezes to allow a quick check for trap. He takes a few deep breaths to finish releasing his rage, and recover so that he's ready to embrace it again...
GHRRAAAAAACCKKK!!! shrieks the demon as Zagathoth brings Doomcrescent around in a sideways cut that hews deeper than the last cut, slicing into sinew and releasing a torrent of stinking black ichor that showers the raging orc!
Concentration check 1d20+12 to maintain concentration on greater teleport fails! Unable to teleport away, the demon instead uses its move action to fly back into the chamber to the west...
Its chanting interrupted by Zagathoth’s mighty blow, the vrock beats its great, black, feathered wings, flying west into the darkness...
Dowm 24 total damage so far, plus possibly ability damage from Quinlan’s limpid lash spell if he can beat SR 20... This DID, in fact, happen on the demon's turn in round 1.
Thus, it has only taken 3 Str damage, 5 Dex damage, and 5 Con damage from Quinlan's limpid lash, and is 50 feet west of where it had been...
In Abyssal: CRAAAWWW!!! COME, FOOLS! BEHOLD THE OTHER MESSIAH!!
Suddenly, a blur of lightning-fast green and glowing steel flashes in the demon's face as Zagathoth sprints with unnatural speed after his foe and splits its ugly beak open with a mighty blow of Doomcrescent!
NNNYYYYAAAARRRGGGHHH!!!
Down a total of 59 HP damage, 3 Str, 5 Dex, and 5 Con damage!
Zagathoth's darkness-piercing orcish eyes penetrate the gloom... He can see the demon beckoning mockingly from the dark chamber at the end of the westbound corridor!

Zagathoth wrote: I was just thinking the same thing, Padre...
Zagathoth focuses on all that Fox and the healer have said about the demon, and lets it shape his stance and the form of his attacks. Spurred on by the priest's pronouncement, he steps forward to meet the demon, let's his rage wash over him, and brings doomcrescent whistling towards the bird-beast...
[dice=power attack (rage, haste, FE)]1d20+10+1+2

edit:
a) stupid flippin' minimum damage, grumblegrumblegrumble
b) lol- my minimum damage is 20.
c) i really need to get keen- that would have been another threat...
The vrock takes 10 slashing damage after DR...
Doomcrescent carves a shallow rift in the demon’s abdomen, and it hisses sharply! HHHIIISSS!!!
In Abyssal: CRAAAWWW!!! IT SEEMS YOU DISAGREE!... YOU HAVE PASSED THROUGH THE SHRINE OF OSIRIS, WHO WAS MURDERED BY SET, THE EVIL ONE, AND RESURRECTED BY THE GODDESS ISIS AS HIS OWN SON, HORUS THE AVENGER!... SOUND FAMILIAR!?... YOU HAVE ALSO PASSED THROUGH THE SHRINE OF APOLLO, THE SUN GOD, SON OF ZEUS, KING OF THE GODS! THIS “LIGHT OF THE WORLD”, AND “SON OF GOD” IS THE DEITY OF HEALING, MUSIC, ARCHERY, AND THE SUN, SLAYER OF THE DRAGON PYTHON!... BUT YOU HAVE YET TO PASS THROUGH THE SHRINE OF MITHRAS, ROMAN DEMIGOD, SON OF A DEITY AND A MORTAL VIRGIN, BORN OF IMMACULATE CONCEPTION ON THE 25TH OF DECEMBER...IN A MANGER!! CRAAAWWW!!! CRRAAAWWWW!!!
The demon’s vulture beak splits in a hideously evil grin...
In Abyssal: AND YET, YOU PITIFUL FOOLS STILL CLING TO YOUR OBVIOUSLY MAN-MADE FAITH!! CRAW-CRAW-CRAW-CRAW-CRRAAAAWWWW!!!! COME, FOOLS! COME TO THE SHRINE OF MITHRAS!! BEHOLD THE GOD THE LYING PRIESTS BASED YOUR CROSS-GOD ON!!!
The demon suddenly vanishes in a black cloud that stinks of fire and brimstone!
Its foul cackling can be heard echoing down the corridor from further west...
Teleports to the chamber to the west, after a speech of comic-book-villain proportions that somehow still only takes a free action...

[dice=Planes]1d20+6 Need to put more into this! But that will work for now...
Don't know that can post until much later, but will immediately communicate whatever he learns to the group through free action speaking
EDIT: @Zagathoth, unfortunately, at this time, Boga can only make it last one round at a time, so with new initiatives, it would be over? (@MJ66?) You still have the +1 from the Shield Other, though (and +1 deflection)
Boga knows that the vrock has resistance to magic (SR 20), is immune to electricity and resistant to nearly all other forms of energy damage, and also resistant to weapons that aren’t good-aligned... He also has heard that vrock demons can perform a particular horrific dance called the dance of ruin which supposedly has some kind of dangerous effect on mortals...
The Ogon Fox wrote: The Fox's eyes widen as he sees the demon round the corner. Its speech grates horribly on the ears, though he has no idea what is the meaning of the words. The Fox throws two mystic bolts at the unholy creature.

The vrock demon seems completely unfazed by the Fox’s bolts! The electricity dances around its feathered body without effect!

Quinlan spits back at the demon in its own tongue, though the words seem to taste foul in his mouth. DRAUX UUM ZAARXK KRUZ!
** spoiler omitted **
The wizard's tattoos pulse with dark energy until it rapidly streams to his hand and forms into a long whip that seems to suck in the light around it. With a flick of the wrist the whip cracks the air and wraps firmly around the vrock's neck.

Roll to punch SR 20, please, Quinlan...
...as around the corner stalks a horrific, vulture-like, bipedal demon, towering a full ten-feet-tall, with vulture-like head and oily, black-feathered wings, a vaguely humanoid frame, with gangly yet muscular limbs ending in raptor-like talons! It first emits a vulture like croak, then shrieks in a foul tongue, abrasive to the ears...
