Krysta, Girud, Mordrock, Galdren, and Garor - Unanimously calling yourselves to arms, swords are drawn, mauls are unhefted from harness and spirits are raised. Finally, something you are familar with in this alien place...battle.
Rounding the corner, your eyes struggle to absorb the scene before you.
Pressed into an alcove are three figures, all clad in full plate mail. They appear to be human paladins, at least two of them bear glimmering holy symbols emblazoned on their chest. The third, though also clad in full plate, appears to be a talented fighter.
The two paladins wear large helms that fully conceal their faces from you, though you do catch glimpses of white faces beneath glistening with sweat. The third fighter is a darker skinned man, probably in his late fourties. All three fight with a skill that you've not seen before.
Pressing the attack on these three humans is a pack of devils. The lead and largest devil is nearly nothing more than leathery skin stretched over a skeleton. It has a tail, like a scorpion, that lashes over its back only to be deflected by a paladin's shield. Its sunken eyes seem to continually hunt for flesh while it gives orders to the lesser demons in the tongue of evil.
Surrounding the larger demon are three smaller ones, each viscious in their own right.
It appears the paladins and the fighter have been at this for some time...for the alcove is littered with bodies of both human and demon.
The battle rages on, even as you approach...
{For Reference, the 'leader' is a Bone Devil;
The Bone devil is the skinny one. The others are Cornugons;
The spiny guy on the left.}
[Initiative: Garor and Krysta, Galdren, The paladins, Girud, The demons, Mordrock]
Map:
O = Oslyuth (Bone Devil)
g = Cornugon
J, V, B = Paladins
G = Garor
A = Galdren
R = Girud
K = Krysta
M = Mordrock
COUNTDOWN - 09:26 Hours to Apocalypse Clock Chime...

Yuri and Romar - Daniel remains steadfast out of the hallway view, and far from the door beyond. He brings his staff firmly before him menacingly. [Romar, Bluff Aid check, succeed. Yuri, Bluff roll vs. Sense Motive = Nat. 1 (13) vs. 20]
"I thought you two showed an ounce of intelligence earlier when you took my offer, but this is just suicide. I'm not going anywhear NEAR that door...or even within sight of that demon."
"I will not go within a few hundred feet of that thing. Nor will I let you clap me in irons Vampire...so long as there is a breath in my body."
Daniel motions to Yuri.
"Your idea is sound though...why don't the two of you convince it that we have freed its lover, but that we returned her to the planes and she requested that he meet here there. That should buy us the time we need to leave here."
He looks to each of you hopefully, thinking that his plan is foolproof.
