(Those rolls by Trimyrai were good enough. And somewhat fitting, as he is a Tiefling.)
The enemy (still looking around) in the courtyard looks very familiar, for some reason. Trim recognizes the devilish features, and quietly tells the group that this is the interpreter for the head devil, that you saw in the sahuagin caves (before you freed the slaves). This guy had a temper, and started bickering with the fish-interpreter.
A cambion has mixed blood (like tieflings), but has the horns, red skin, and wings of its devil parent. It has most of the damage resistances that devils have. It is well protected by it's suit of (scale) armor, and attacks with a spear or a (ranged) fire cantrip. It also has some charm/command spells it can use.

(I had forgotten that Trim was burning this guy into his memory in post 1363... Yes, it is the same figure from Post 1360. Trim had an easier time making out his devil features, and is absolutely certain it is the same cambion.)

(I do what I can :P. And with cold resistance I probably won't be much help fighting the guy now that I'm out of spell slots and my only damage cantrip is a 1d6 cold spell. Do we have line of sight to the outside of the building in any direction besides where the cambion is?)

(I am not sure what you had in mind. Like I said, think of this like a Western shootout, without the six-shooters. From the doorway on the northern wall and the windows, you can target almost anything north of the dojo.
There is another door on the west side of the dojo (the short side of the rectangle). So it is also possible to exit the building that way, and use the NW corner of the building as partial cover.
Did Froskan use up all his sorcery points, or does he have 2 left?)

Trimyrai gets out of hiding and starts to approach the cambion
Trimyrai: (to the Cambion[in Infernal]) "You are going to pay for the lives you ruined. Prepare to die!"
(I'll wait a bit longer to see if people wanted to dive into the fight, or do any last minute preparations.
Since Trim is firing a bow, he doesn't have to approach. He could shoot from the doorway. He wouldn't be hidden, but he would still have partial cover.)

"What?" Reverie couldn't understand for a moment until she witnesses Trim getting out from the hide, facing the new enemy. "Well, you are not going to face them all alone." Then she follows Trim along with Iskandar, holding her heavy crossbow. Once she is done aiming, she starts to shoot the bolts.

(Have Froskan do his frost cantrip. Cambion CON save: 26 It resists the Frostbite.)
Party actions for 1st round vs. Cambion
The Cambion is resistant to the cold damage, and to Reverie's non-magic crossbow bolt. Jack had a decent boomerang toss, but it deflects off some kind of devilish aura. (It is 30' away, so Jack uses his mage hand to retrieve the boomerang.) Iskander just hits with a 19, and it is affected normally by the necrotic Hex damage.
Damage totals: Reverie 3, Isk 10, Trim 8. Total of 21.
Cambion action vs. players
Trim yelled at it in Infernal, so the cambion aims two fire rays at him. Attack1: 9 Damage: 12, Attack2: 22 Damage: 10
Trim is hit by the second fire ray for 5 damage (fire resistance).

Party is behind cover inside the dojo. The cambion is in the open field 30' north.
Reverie is at 12/36 hp. Iskander is at 25/31 hp. Jack is at 24/35 hp. Froskan is at 22/30 hp. Trimyrai is at 31/36 hp.
The Cambion has taken 21 damage.
After Trimyrai yells out, "You are going to pay for the lives you ruined. Prepare to die!", the Cambion curses him back in Infernal. (Translates to: "Yo moma is pretty enough to be aPlanetar!")
He then continues raging at the party in Common. "Lives ruined? You ruined my life. The slaves lost, deal ruined, and my beloved master had to blame me to save herself. I won't be able to feel her sweet barbed whip against my flesh again, until I toss your heads at her feet!" (You suspect that, being an evil toady, the guy loves to hear himself rant.)
All party members can post actions for the 2nd round.

(Well my original thought was if I could get line of sight in another direction besides where the cambion is coming from, such as the west door you mention), I could use minor illusion again to create a sound in that direction of us fleeing towards the gate or something to try to keep making your life difficult :P. But that stoppe dmattering when Trim decided to go out and attack it instead. And I believe I still have 2 slots sorcery points left. As far as I recall the only ones I've used were to quicken the one spell.)
Realizing that his frostbite spell would be all but useless against the creature outside, Froskan uses his Font of Magic to create one last spell slot. Trying something new, he rolls his hands, creating an orb of roiling green liquid before casting out out towards the cambion outside.
(and now I'm REALLY out of tricks beyond my cantrips :P. Well, I think i have my breath weapon, but that's...less useful than it could be against something resistant to cold.)
