The tattoo parlor's location at the end of an alley makes it unlikely that any passersby will see you; however, as long as the Lissalans think you're Aspis, you should be able to accomplish your mission. A quick perusal of the abandoned tattoo parlor shows that the tracks lead to the back, where you find a barely-concealed trap door in the floor. The door is slightly ajar, perhaps left open carelessly by the last person to enter. Throw the crack you can see that the door leads down a set of stone stairs. The area down the stairs seems to be light by torches or something similar. From somewhere below you can hear a faint rhythmic sound that rises and falls; although very faint, it seems to be the sound of many voices chanting or singing a tuneless drone.
Nothing in the room detects as magical or is of any value.

Father Mac is still pissed at the disrespect shown by Jenks when Jiraiya whips out his tiny, inflamed junk. He jumps back and draws his dagger, screaming, "what fresh hell is that? You ARE a dirty hobo! What ate your cock?" As they make their way across town, he can't get the image out of his head and keeps looking sideways at Jiraiya and making crass jokes.
By the time they get to the tattoo parlor, he's run out of anything original to say and is ready to wreack havoc on the Lissalans. He uncurls his whip and follows the others, thankful for his excellent vision.

Elustra lights up her spear and heads in with the rest of the crew.
"We should definitely go in to verify this is what Jenks says it is. everyone stay in character. This room is just one of possibly many entrances to the safe house. we must be able to sabotage the entire place, not just this one entrance. Hell, we could just let Jiraiya spend a few nights with their ladies here. I am sure that is sabotage enough."
After Elustra is done laughing, she leads the party in.
You open the trap door and proceed down the steps. You descend the staircase, which ends at a slightly-ajar door. The area beyond is lit by torches, and you can hear the faint but unmistaking sound of the chanting or singing from somewhere ahead.
The door opens into a tunnel of worked stone with a cracked flagstone floor, ten feet wide and ten feet high. To your right (east) the tunnel extends only a few feet before ending in a brick wall of much more recent construction, and to you left (west)the tunnel extends perhaps thirty feet and ends in a similar obstruction. Across from you, another tunnel extends north at least twenty feet. There are empty sconces on the walls, but the tunnels are lit by a flickering greenish flame emanating from the stone of the ceiling itself.
Elustra strides confidently into the hallway, followed by the rest of the group. The northern tunnel extends about sixty feet, and then turns right, but you can see a thick set of iron bars prevents passage through the right turn. There is another greenish flaming area on the stone ceiling, about halfway down the hallway.
The greenish flaming area appears to be nothing more than a continual flame spell, keeping the area lit.
The party advances down the hall with Yukine leading the way and the others following behind, alert for any trickery. The chanting of the Lissalan service continues in the background, uninterrupted.
When you turn corner to make your way down the next corridor, you all hear the unmistakable sound of a rough material sliding over stone, seemingly coming from the wall to your left and behind you.
Everything appears unchanged; the sound was more like a creature on the other side of the wall, but heard very clearly. Then you hear a shuffling sound and a faint metallic "clink" coming from the same area, followed by a low-throated growl.
There is a soft flash of reddish light from the floor under Father Mac as the some magical glyph discharges and he winces and darts back from the expected blast. Instead, a faint humming sound comes from the floor and grows into eldritch words spoken in a commanding voice. The words seem to take on almost physical from as they whirl around the area, bouncing off the walls and floor.
Suddenly, several things happen at once. The wall immediately to the left of the warded area shimmers for a second and then winks out of existence. Through the new opening, you can see a series of iron bars blocking a 15' wide opening. It appears to a cage in a larger room, with other cages in the distance. There is a surprised growl from the area, and Jaraiya's eyes widen in surprise. Father Mac is standing next to the new opening as well, and has a full view of the cage room.
Inside of the cage is a squat, reptilian monster that has eight legs, bony spurs jutting from its back, and eyes that glow with pale green fire.
Father Mac looks at the creature closely to see if he can identify it before moving away. While he recognizes it as a basilisk, he doesn't recall any information about it.
The basilisk looks over the three reminding Aspisfinders and chooses Elustra. It stares at her intently for a moment as it's eyes flash an emerald green. Elustra's skin begins to gray and darken as she begins to panic, a sense of heaviness overcoming her. She tries to turn away, but her movements slow as her skin begins to harden. Within a matter of seconds she has turned completely to stone! Completely immobile and forever frozen in place.
Jiraiya tests the gate to the door and finds it to be open.
Since no one can see the creature given their current location, they are unsure what actions the creature takes.

Father Mac looks at the others, "does anyone know anything about basilisks? I never thought I'd see one so I never studied them. I don't even know if Jiraiya here would want to f#@& it!" He looks at StonElustra with a grimace. "I think we want to go the other way, but we need to drag her somehow." After a few moments, he grabs his pack and pulls out his silk rope, "let's secure this around her and I'll go over to the dirty hobo so we can bring her." That said, he begins to rig something that will allow them to drag her.

"I don't know anything about this beast but it seems to have turned Elustra to stone just by looking at her."
She fetches and unrolls a blanket.
"Maybe we can block it's vision and move on and someone inside can help with Elustra's situation? Anyone have anything else we can string together to make a wall over the cage? Else we may need to somehow slay this beast and hope the magics fade with it's death."
The party quickly moves down the corridor and through the open gate, away from the statue-creating creature. Once out of sight, your survey the area and find another long corridor extending into the distance. It appears a large passage opens up to your left at the end of the hall and three separate corridors branch off from the right side.
Yukine's plea for help goes unanswered. Instead she hears in distance to the left the sounds of chanting and prayers growing louder. It's likely whatever is happening over there has drowned out her call for assistance.
As the party moves forward towards the sounds, several tunnels meet in this room. Three wooden tables and a number of chairs are stacked here, out of the way, along with a shipping crate about two feet square. To the east, a portion of the stone wall stands ajar a few inches.
The northern doorway is shrouded by a thick black curtain, and as Yukine approaches, she can see that there is a faint pattern to the black cloth, in the shape of a seven-pointed star.
Yukine parts the black curtain with her hand, revealing another room to the north. The chamber is stark and empty, save for a low dais in the center of the room. Upon the dais looms an elaborate rune-carved statue of a creature with a serpent’s body, a woman’s torso, six wings, and a Sihedron rune in place of a head.
Orrina finds no traps in this room.
To the west, an open passage is blocked with thick iron bars, similar to the bars you've seen elsewhere in the complex. The chanting is clearly coming from this barred passageway, accompanied by the sounds of drumming and other strange noises. From its volume, it seems that you are quite close to the source of the sounds; however, nothing can be seen from this chamber.
Whoosh. Whoosh.
The statue stands stoically still, unmoving as the party enters the room. However, as Jiraiya swings his wild sword towards the statue, he manages to swing past the large creature twice without hitting it. Jiraiya's actions seem to have triggered something in the statue as it rises to the a full grown 12 feet in height. With one tremendous display of strength, the statue brings its fist down into Jiraiya's chest and cracks every rib in his body. The statue's fist burst through the back of Jiraiya's body and explodes out of his back. As the life blinks out of the monks face, the statue withdraws his hand and lets the monk fall to the floor in a bloody mess.
Turning to Yukine, the statue throws a bloody punch at her face and connects as well, breaking several of her cheekbones.
The life winks of Jaraiya as the monk takes his last breath on Golarion.
The lore warden's whip cracks loudly as it snaps into open air beside the large animated statue. Yukine slides to the southwest corner and lands a blow with her blade into the statue. Orrina quickly piles on with another blow that just barely catches the opposite corner of the statue.
The golem attacks both Yukine and Orrina with its stone fists. Yukine is able to dodge the blow but Orrina isn't so luck as the fist crashes into her left shoulder .
Jiraiya gasps loudly as the Gods intervene and once more breathe life into his unconscious body.
Father Mac and Orrina continue to pile on damage on the statue. Orrina's final attack cracks the statue in half and causes the upper portion to fall backwards onto the floor.
