Interesting. Where does that creature come from? Or, if you made it up, how did you come up with the CR?

Strangler changes to a gold dragon and breathes fire.
The scorpions keep constricting.
It was changed between 3.0 and 3.5. I assumed that the spell affecting the elemental was Forcecage, not Wall of Force.
Strangler uses his last flame strike as the two inverted scorpions crush their prey. flame strike: 15d6=52
The unicorn mews pitifully...
The mindless scorpions attack relentlessly. Scorpion 1:
Scorpion 2:
Strangler casts a Flame Strike and howls obscenities, slandering the creature's mother.
Who are we waiting on now?
Strangler Will save: 1d20+31=34
Strangler casts Quickened Baleful Polymorph (into a turtle, DC 29, +25 modifier against SR) and another Giant Vermin to create another colossal giant scorpion (casting defensively automatically succeeds). The first giant scorpion double moves towards the monstrosity. The confused unicorn fights back with a horn and two hooves, if it can.
Will Save: 1d20+31=48 Fort Save: 1d20+25=45 The unicorn flees in terror, but the mindless scorpion and the staunch druid fare better. Strangler turns into a huge black dragon (free action, AC 46, +4 more Con) and growls: "So he does na' mind lightning and acid, eh? How about fire?" as he casts Quickened Flame Strike and Fire Storm. He adds: "Beware the invisible creature crawlin' from the pit!"
Spell penetration for the elemental: 1d20+25=36 1d20+25=28
The scorpion continues to squeeze its prey.
And how did you arrive at DC33? It's CON based and your own 9th spells aren't even DC33...I come up with 26:DC 10 + ½ breathing creature’s racial HD (10) + breathing creature’s Con modifier (+6) From the description of the Polymorph subschool: "The DC for any of these abilities equals your DC for the polymorph spell used to change you into that form."In this case, the spell is Shapechange (base DC 31) and Strangler has Spell Focus (Transformation) and Greater Spell Focus (Transformation), for a total DC of 33.
Make a Acrobatics (Vertical Jump) check to get up on the raised platform.
Strangler casts Quickened Giant Vermin to create a Colossal monstrous scorpion, then shapechanges into a gorgon (free action) and moves over and breathes on Gargamel (Fort DC 33 or turn to stone) and the earth creature, carefully avoiding any of his allies with his breath weapon. The scorpion attacks the earth monster immediately.
The unicorn casts Divine Power.
Strangler's talking staff says: "Beware! Something moveth underground, beneath the pit!"
Strangler delays until some danger appears.
Strangler and the unicorn move into the room and the unicorn uses Cure Moderate Wounds on Strangler.
The unicorn will use its Good domain power to give a +7 to the Disable Device check, if allowed to.
Saves: 1d20+16=34 1d20+13=20 Strangler saves for half.
Init: 1d20+3=19
Strangler and the unicorn move forward; unicorn casts Bless.
"Who wants to do th' honours of openin' th' door?" Strangler growls in a low voice. "If ye all are too lily-livered to do so, I'll do it meself!"
I missed Death Ward (21 min) and Longstrider (21 hours).

Prebuffs:
Sorry -- this weekend was busy, but I should be raring to go tomorrow...
I'm not quite finished, but I should be done by this weekend.
Strangler full attacks one of the barbed devils.
(56 damage, all good-aligned due to Holy amulet.) The elemental full attacks, too.
The other elemental does a single attack.
Elementals 1 and 3 move over and attack the exposed barbed devil (for some slight damage).
Strangler defensively casts Heal on Sleepy the monk. He easily makes his Spellcraft check. Sleepy is now up and fully healed.
Strangler full attacks the barbed devil again, missing completely...
20 point hit from barbed devil misses 23 point hit from horned devil misses 5 points from horned devil hit stopped by DR
Strangler full attacks a barbed devil with three unarmed attacks and two slams. attacks: 1d20+22=41 1d20+17=29 1d20+12=32 1d20+17=18 1d20+17=27
Strangler floats forward and tries to hit a barbed devil with an unarmed strike. (Note his 15' reach.)
From page 248, Magic Circle against Good: "This spell functions like magic circle against evil, except that it is similar to protection from good instead of protection from evil."From page 260, Protection from Good:
Note that it says "good" and not "non-evil". Yes, that technically makes Protection from Evil (which protects against all summoned creatures except for good creatures) better than Protection from Good (which protects against good creatures). It's a well-known "bug" in the rules.
In that case, the air elemental sit with one flying directly above the devils, one sitting to the north (above the lava) and one sitting to the west (above the lava, again).
Can you check to see if the two barbed devils are sucked up by the whirlwind first of all? That will make a difference as far as tactics go.
Strangler will wait until the devils act before deciding what to do.
Strangler init: 1d20+4=6
Strangler tells one of the elementals to turn into a whirlwind and try to scoop up the two barbed devils (Reflex DC 22) and fly straight up. The other two air elementals will flank the horned devil and use their slam attacks.
Round 1: Sacrifice Reverse Gravity to summon 1d4+1 augmented Huge Air Elementals. Intelligent staff casts CL 16 Magic Vestment on shield.
Round 2: Intelligent staff casts CL 16 Protection from Fire on Strangler. Strangler wild shapes into Huge Air Elemental and casts Quickened Barkskin. Spells already running: CL 19 extended longstrider, CL 19 extended Greater Magic Fang (unarmed strike), CL 19 extended Greater Magic Fang (slam), CL 16 Magic Vestment (on armor)
Elmora will hold her action, waiting for Grumble to free her.
