Seeing there's a monster (one that's on their side) between him and their assailant, Mr. Yellow bides his time, waiting for the creature to make its move or get out of his way.

Drinks his own special brew to get dark vision and climbs up the ladder.

Crypt Breaker's Draught (Su) Rather than develop mutagens that increase their natural armor and physical abilities at the expense of their minds, crypt breakers focus on the creation of special draughts that can enhance their senses. When a crypt breaker drinks one of these draughts he gains a +4 bonus on all Perception checks and gains one of the following special senses: darkvision 60 feet, low-light vision, or scent. While under the effects of a crypt breaker’s draught, the alchemist also gains light blindness.

The lanky shadow lashed out as it's prey made to escape.
The pair of canid elementals followed their foe down the wall, flowing thorugh the stone like water.
"He's aiming to run out from under us!" Mr. Yellow hisses to the others.
The alchemist leans over the edge and awkwardly lobs a bomb at the figure...

Sooo... 5 pts of force splash damage

The thing beyond the door snaps at the fleeing figure but is unsuccessful. One of the elementals meets with more success, slamming the figure as the elementals follow it onto the wall. Mathus hurls a bomb which explodes near the figure, further damaging it. The figure's fatigue is showing, but it still stands. It hurls a hand ax at Lorant, grazing his shoulder. If the save fails, take Strength damage.
It is then that a door opens beside the one from which the figure came and another figure steps out. This one looks like a man whose skin has been stripped from his body, exposing the muscle beneath. He is completely naked except for a bandolier containing several bottles across his chest. He pulls one of the bottles and consumes the contents.

Mr. Pink's eyes widen in disgust and he immediately moves to engage the new arrival.
How long since we came in the gate?
Judah glanced at the door in the vat room, glad it was jammed. This was someone they might acutally be able to take alive.
He felt an odd draining sensation as his worrisome ally pulled power. Judah couldn't tell if the thing was taking back what belonged to it, or siphoning something vital from him.
He didn't have time to wonder. With a quick adjustment, he swung himself around to the back side of the ladder so none of his allies were in his way, then slid down the rungs and back to the ground.
The shadow creature stepped off the catwalk silently and let its massive wings carry it towards it's prey.
After swooping in to attack, the nightmarish creature was forced to land. There just wasn't enough room to maneuvvor it's great wings.
Mr. Yellow seethes as the handaxe strikes him and his yellow outfit quickly stains red with blood. He turns and tries to strike at the skinless freak, knocking it right in the head, but feels the strength draining from his arms, weakening the blow's potency.
He furiously thinks on what manner of monster he's fighting.
Judah looked up at the skinless freak who had followed the first through the doorway. This was bad.
"W̭̻͇̥̯e̱̱̘͓̦̟ͅ ̻ṋ̼e̪̫̖̤̤ͅe̬̲͎͓͔̼d҉̪̰̠̻̤ ̡̝̭͉͔͉ͅt͞o͉̱ ̪̟̠͓̬̻h͟ṷ̪̫̠͢ͅŗr͖̬̻̟̦̦y̸͉̻͔̮̼̱͎ ͉̘͈̮͇̩͉u͇͍͈̯̩͠p͕͓̜!̲̺̭" he hissed to no one in particular.
The unknown thing tethered to Judah from an incomprehensible distance heard, and helped.
After swooping down at it's prey, the great inky thing hit the wall in a crouch, fell to the ground, and sprang right back up into the air to continue it's savage assault.
It's great wings held it aloft as it savaged the man on the wall.
As before, the monsters in the walls flanked like the wolves they vaguely resembled. The stone became a flurry of edges and clubs.

The surgeon looks at the cold iron dagger on his belt and swears. He can't get past his ally to use it... he shrugs and throws a bomb behind the skin stealer, so at least it takes the secondary blast.
for
That should give 6 force damage as blast damage... not much but it won't hit an ally,
"The pieces are starting to come together!" Mr. Yellow says as he strikes at the skin stealer!

Gate leaps from the catwalk, spreading its great wings, and glides over to the being on the wall, striking with its bite. The figure drops from the wall to the floor, bleeding out.
Cassiel, Mathus, and the elementals do an incredible amount of damage to the skin stealer, but it still stands. Lorant's attacks miss the target.

Mister Grey pointed to their downed enemy. "We need it alive!"
Rebounding off the floor with a leap and a flap, the inky winged thing launched itself toward the next prey.
The doctor hands off a cold iron dagger to Judah.
Got it... use this on that skin stealing Fey. THAT'S likely our suspect!!
He then moves towards to fallen figure, intent on rendering first aid when he arrives.
Mr. Yellow strikes at the skin-thief!
Invigorated by the sudden burst of speed, Mr. Yellow strikes again!
The Doktor hurries down to stabilise Enemy 1...
Judah winced as Lorant staggered under the impact of the mace. He looked at the cold iron dagger in his shaking hand and did not like his odds. He dashed over to his stoney hounds.
"Get me up there,"
The creatures grasped Judah with mouths and claws and hauled him gracelessly up the wall. He could feel the stone rolling behind him in ways that stone was never supposed to.
Judah's skin crawled, which made him think of the stone even more, and this skin-thief they were fighting.
Every time he thought he'd gotten used to the horrors he'd become mired in, something new showed him how much worse things could get.
The creatures set him down on the catwalk and waited in the walls for new orders.
The shadow-winged specter pounced on it's master's foe.
Mr. Yellow crumples to the ground.
Desna im Himmel, the Doktor swears, faced now with TWO patients.
Leaving the fallen foe, he uses his hasted speed to rush towards Mr. Yellow.
Cassiel moves to dose Lorant with some healing.
Forget that... focus on that damn monster. I'll fix him!.

As Mathuves to stabilize the fallen enemy, Judas rides his minions up to the catwalk. The shadow-winged specter pounces on the skin stealer, bringing it low with tooth and claw! In the same instant, Cassiel is by the fallen Lorant's side, laying on hands.
NOTE: Lorant is still, as of this time, poisoned. I need two Con saves, please (one for the last round and one for this round).
