Okay, knowledge check(s) time. Wanna run the full gambit here, who they are, what they are (knowledge devotion), anything lore-wise that might give me an edge on either getting them to run or otherwise kill them.

This is what Emily already told you earlier.

"His name is Nales XI," Emily begins, "Ah, he has a few lieutenants. One is Corryn Featheroak, a half elf with genie blood. A skilled fencer and diplomat from what I've heard. Azile, a gelugon who has gone rogue to further his own career and a telepath of considerable power. Finally, a moon dog. A gray moon dog - which means one that's turned against its nature, but hasn't fallen all the way to evil. His name is Bannoth and is a powerful shapechanger."

Corryn Featheroak is skilled with a unique trick. The more he talks to you a person before battle, the stronger he is. The details aren't known. It's also whispered he may have a splash of sorcererous talent.

Bannoth can take the form of a vast wolf of various forms, all with deadly attacks and overwhelming speed. He also pounces on his foes, tearing them apart nigh instantly. He's also remarkably evasive, as is the norm for moon dogs.

Finally, the little birds are likely some type of golem. You aren't sure what - they look custom, but the eyes likely are tied to their powers, they stand out.

Alyssa simply grins at Corryn and replies in a sing song voice.

"I know your trick, genie half-breed. You're not one to talk about blood lines."

With that, Alyssa begins to cast a spell!

Time Stop, CL 32.
Gain 1d4+1 rounds of actions while time is frozen.

[blockquote]Rolled 1d4+1 : 2 + 1, total 3[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

In that case I call for init. Good luck.

[Iron Dragoon]

In that case, I have another spell!

Nerveskitter (Chain, Echoing), CL 32.
Gain a +5 bonus on initiative checks. Hits 20 friendlies.

Init/Brains over Brawn/Nerveskitter.

Open Alyssa while I work up Corryn's turn.

[Iron Dragoon]

Keep the Time freeze or redo it since init happened?

[Anastasia]

Keep.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa marvels anew, always, at the usefulness of this spell as she begins casting another!

Space Compression, CL 32, Duration 32 rounds.
In a radius of 3,200ft, once per round as a free action the caster may alter the distance between any two points within its area of effect such that distant squares are treated as adjacent to one another.

[Anastasia]

That's round 1 of the time stop. What about rounds 2 and 3?

[Iron Dragoon]

Was giving you a chance to respond, but I'll do it all at once.

Alyssa begins casting her second spell!

Alyssa's burst of Inspiration, CL 32, 32 rounds.
+18 enhancement to intelligence, wisdom, and charisma. +10 enhancement bonus to saving throws.

And she follows it with a third!

Spell Turning, CL 32, Duration 320 minutes.
1d4+6 Spell Levels that target you are turned back on the caster.

[blockquote]Rolled 1d4+6 : 4 + 6, total 10[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

Going to use space compression this round?

[Iron Dragoon]

Yeah, forgot. After time resumes, I plan to tell the others about it and use the weapon as the marker so they can make use of it.

Alyssa sets the Space Compression point 10 feet infront of her self, hovering Life-Drinker just underneath it.
