I am so sorry! I thought I replied to this a week ago and completely missed it. Bad GM is bad.
Kylar finsihes off the demonling, sending it to a bloody mess on the floor!
For the sake of things, this battle is over. While the remaining demon is a threat, it can't take full attacks from Varan and the Deaglan temp. Calling it to save some time!
The more melee oriented party members make short work of the last demon, who poofs as sword and hammer smash into it hard.
The rest of the party looks around the room, but aside from the paintings and the little demon bleeding out, there is nothing else of note.
The party goes through the southern door, not sure what to expect. Surprisingly, they find a bedroom littered with belled glass jars that clutter every available surface. The jars contain miniature creatures pinned by needles to cushions, like a twisted insect collection.
DC 18 Appraise, Kn: History, or Kn: Nature:
five cases of these jars contains what appears to be creatures long since extinct, and would be worth a tidy sum to the right collector, perhaps 1,500 crowns each.
Map updated. There is only one new path left, beyond the yellow door which Generic Deadite happens to have the sigil for :)

The dead creature takes a shiny pearl from his pack and slots it in his left eyesocket. After a few moments the pearl loses it's luster and falls back into the dead creature's hand. He puts it back in his pack.
With only one new remaining path to go, the party heads to the yellow door. The undead ally places its decayed hand on the door, the sigil on its hand glowing before it opens. A single magic circle also glowing in a pale yellow hue stands before the party. Sindar identifies it as a teleportation circle. Bravely, the party steps in, teleporting to another room with a single wooden door.
If you can all stay close to me, i can assure we arrive silently.
When all are within 20' of him, VArian casts silence on a copper piece which he can throw away later... then he moves out through the bells, watching cautiously for traps as well.

Varian- I am assuming that if you strike it all bells in room clink which is further away than your 20 feet. Though if you throw the coin into the center of the room you should be good to go. If not here is an escape Artist check below.
Kylar slinks down low to the ground. His reptilian bone structure allows him to crouch much lower than most people as he slinks underneath the set of bells.
Varian's silenced coin bounces without noise in the center of the hallway, blocking off sound as the aasimar makes his way through the string of bells. He hits several of them, but his magic makes a mockery of the attempt at an alarm. The rest of the party follows close behind.
This passageway runs west and east, with a door set in the north wall before the corridor turns to the north. Arches on the far east wall lead to a darkened chamber that periodically flashes with colorful bursts of light, casting the corridor in shifting shades of pink, scarlet, dusty rose, and incandescent blue.
A man in red robes walks back and forth until he sees the party, caught completely off guard.
Kylar's acid hits a weak spot on the man, but his skin seems exceptionally durable and doesn't wear down as much as it should. Nonetheless, the nagaji's precision causes a nasty wound that sizzles.
"You foul, ignorant beast! How dare you attack me!", he curses before Kylar disappears once more.
Seeing the party clustered up, he casts a spell...
Concentration:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
Poor villain
But the acid causes his to garble a word, failing the spell.
Sindar's magic holds strong and the wizard cannot resist it and another spell goes down the drain... as does the wizard who slumps down in defeat.
Just seconds later, though, a large bulbous mass of flesh with a vagueley feminine human face bursts through the door behind Sindar!
DC 22 Kn: Arcane:
That's a flesh golem... it is immune magic that allows saving throws, and electricity effects make them move faster! Cold and fire magic instead slows the creature. Finally, you need adamantine weapons to fully damage their hardened flesh.

The party continues their assault! Varian hammers the golem twice, although the damage done to the deadite seems to have affected its swinging as it fails to land a blow. Kylar finally gets his aim down and coats the golem in acid, dissolving sections of flesh that visually should be avoided.
Sindar follows up with a simple fire spell to try and slow the beast down.
Concentration:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15
But the stench of the melting flesh causes the wizard to botch the spell!
The golem retaliates at Varian now, swinging with hefty arms!
but this time his aim is not as sure, and he grubles as most or all of his attacks go awry.... wouldn't you know it, i roll almost max damage on an obvious miss. sigh
This time Varian, taking a more defensive stance from the attacks that failed to land on him, misses, but Kylar and the deadite finish off the construct which lands with a thud, now laying motionlessly.
Combat over!
The man's body interests Sindar who pours over the wizard's spellbook. The golem's body is unusual in that you can see a mishapen woman's face on it and a yellow sigil on the its right arm.
In the room the golem burst forth, you see it was formerly a posh bedroom that was recently ransacked Numerous ancient books that litter floor, and piles of paper with arcane markings are spread across the chamber.
To the south, the party sees several glowing lights orbiting a strange mechanical contraption, weaving an eldritch pattern over the device. The lights are crystals that blasts colorful light into the deep shadows of the room's many narrow niches.
DC 25 Kn: Arcana or Spellcraft:
This object seems to be a device that holds an area into a separate timeline than everything else. It looks like it could be manually destroyed, but what would happen by striking such a complex, intricate device?

"This place is most unusual. I don't know what to make of it all." Kylar leans in and inspects the strange object as it creates a continuous loop of eldritch patterns.

Taking a good look over the device, Kylar begins to trace a separate rune and eldritch sign of his own. "I might be able to dissssable thisss given enough time."
