{Please note question at end of this thread. I'd like opinions from everyone.}

Krysta, Girud, Mordrock, Galdren, and Garor - Brother Hingar bows low in respect, as do the others. It appears they appreciate your arrival greatly. The lead paladin is quick to respond, knowing time is of the essence.
"We cannot say exactly what has happened. We are caretakers of this temple, devoted to preserving the tale of Karn's good deeds."
"The day was nothing exceptional, but shortly after mid-morning, there was a blast of light and the we all felt as though our very souls were being 'tugged' at, pawed like fresh meat. The walls flickered, became hot and sweltering..."
"Litte did we know, we had been pulled into hell..."
"Karn's spirit rose in the seconds after the event, immediately sensing the danger of those in his temple. His spirit stands now, holding back an entire army on the other side of this temple."
He points behind him, further down the stone tunnel.
"He ordered us to venture forth and find a way to free this temple, but I fear we ran into nothing but demons and devils..." He motions to the field of bodies strung about. "We have lost many, others are still missing and the temple itself is crawling with demons."
"We have a little of our powers left and can heal some of your wounds. We are able to carry on, but also understand the benefit of rest and focus at a time like this."
Brother Hingar looks to Vorren and Jannoch.
"We could provide you protection while you rest. Then, as a complete group, we could try to tackle this situation together..."
"What do you say?"
Mordorck finds little of use, save for the poison in the tip of the Bone Devil's tail. These are troops he has never seen before - never used in 'The Masters' employ. They are probably just denizens of this place and attacking whatever they can.
{We will get to equipment if necessary. Basically a lot of full plate and longswords.}
COUNTDOWN - 09:24 Hours to Apocalypse Clock Chime...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuri and Romar - Yuri, using the last of his mental reserves, blasts the traiterous cleric with energy. Daniel takes the opportunity to swing with his staff. [AoO Attack Roll = 20] He misses sadly and the power is manifested. [Ranged Touch attack = Nat. 1] The blasts scorch the wall behind Daniel, but none actually touch him.
Romar charges in behind the Vampire, bringing his blade down swiftly. [Attack Roll = 26, Damage Roll = 11] The blade rips through the clerics robes, catching him off-guard.
Daniel whips around and pulls the hood from his head. Underneath, you can see a brilliant circlet around his head. He quickly places one finger on this and the other he points right at the Vampire. [Circlet of Blasting, Major, Once per day use. Ranged Touch attack = 23] A searing ray of heat blasts forth and strikes the Vampire in the chest and bursts like the rays of the sun. [Damage Roll = 40]
He grins and cackles as the searing light singes the vampire's flesh...
[Initiative: Yuri, Romar, Daniel]

{Alright, I know this has been a LONG segment for everyone so I'm giving the opportunity to level up now. (For Yuri and Romar, this will happen outside of the battle) Basically, in hell, the paladins will watch while you rest and level up, gain cohorts, whatever. It will be the standard two levels for leveling.
The drawback will be, of course, the apocalypse chime. It will be brought down 8 hours, putting a time pressure on you. It's up to you guys, majority rules and feel free to discuss as much as you would like and ask questions of me freely. Yuri and Romar, your opinions count too.}
