A 17 will not hit.
Viales takes a swing at the devil, who is looking much worse for wear after his previous shock, but he bats your sword aside with a grimace.

(Spellcraft. He just cast Haste)

I'm afraid a 14 will not crit.

C6 will move to L10 to flank Zandorian and attack.
31 to hit.
8 slashing damage.

C5 attacks G2.
16 will not hit.

Nirili tries to land her blows against the cultist she faces but he is surprisingly swift to dodge out of the way. What could have been a severe blow is instead just a laceration along his arm.
The hasted cultist forgoes his full attack to reposition to flank Zandorian and the drow is oblivious as the cultist's blade scores his back.
C5 trades blows with the guard captain, but the seasoned warrior parries the paltry efforts.

Timidity is up.

G1 will attack C1.
He hits for 10 damage, felling the cultist.
The devil noticeably flinches at this, his form seems to flicker slightly.

G2 will attack C5. Both attacks hit, felling C5.
The devil cries out in pain.

C4 will attack Nirili.
19 to hit.
8 damage.
I think that's a miss.

That brings us back around to Zandorian.

That is indeed a miss.

Zandorian is not in good shape. He's feeling the wounds, and now knows he's being flanked. Without being able to see, he knows he really can't move anywhere. He swipes out again at the wizard, hoping to hit.

Attack:
[10]+8 = 18
1d20+8:  [
10
] +8 = 18

Miss chance (low=miss, if given a choice):
[20] = 20
1d100:  [
20
] = 20

Damage, if he hits:
[3]+3 = 6
1d6+3:  [
3
] +3 = 6

Will save to negate blindness:
[1] = 1
1d20:  [
1
] = 1

(Yeah I always take chance as low because people can't math. 20% miss chance running from 1-20 is more easily readable than 20% miss chance running from 81-100).

It's a miss for Zandorian unfortunately, well within the 50% and a one for the saving throw. A disastrous round for the drow.

The Guard Captain will move to W10 and take a swing at the devil.
Nat 1.

The mage (c7) will unleash another fireball. This is gonna hit everyone except Nirili and Zandorian.

Reflex saves all round.
GC = 17
G1 = 17
G2 = 25

All three pass (DC17) and take half damage. A mere 7 damage.
The devil is, of course, immune.
15 damage to anyone who fails their save.

I'll wait for Viales' and Timidity's saves before deciding what the devil does, but he's up next.

The devil is gonna take his customary attacks against Viales:
13 to hit
and
17 to hit

I swear he's beefed almost every attack roll.

Did you have a stronk while typing that?

Anyway, yes that cnfirmons and is enough to finally drop the devil. As the lightning courses through his body he shimmers, struggling to remain corporeal and with a roar finally loses his grasp on this realm and returns to Hell.

Nirili is up.

I'm afraid neither of those attacks land. In the flickering firelight of the devil disappearing, shadows dance and twist around the pair of you, making it hard to judge distances.

C6, still flanking Zandorian will follow up with two attacks.
22 to hit for 11 slashing damage and
16 to hit for 10 slashing damage.

Timidity is up.

First hit will take Zandorian down. He only had 8 HP left. If the cultist actually takes the 2nd attack on the prone body, it will kill Zandorian outright.

She'll move back to W13 and channel another healing energy burst around her, particularly given the fireball did some damage.

Confirming, Nirili will also heal that 11 hp.

G1 will relocate and attack C4 for 12 damage.

G2 presses on, relocating to S8.

C4 will engage Nirili.
23 to hit.
9 slashing damage.

GC will relocate to Q10.

C7 will cast another spell on himself. It's fly, given that he starts flying.
He relocates to P7 but 30ft up in the air.

Viales is up.
