You can see each other, but he has concealment from the water. Before your spell is cast, four maximized magic missiles pelt Cass in the chest for 20 points of damage automatically disrupting the spell. He readied his action vs. spell casting.

Question.
Do we hear the spell casting from the barred pit? Did we hear the casting then see the magic missiles?
If so I want to cast silence down in the hole deep enough that it should not mess with our casting on our level. (No access to book at the moment belive it is a 10 foot radius, so cast it 10 feet in the hole).
Yes to both questions. Just remember casting time is 1 round and you need to see the point of your target. It has a 20' radius. It is dimly lit in the room. Of course you could cast it on a object too.

nDevere looks for a weak point on the bars then strikes the final rat before going at them.
From roll20, exploit fail (14 v DC 10+hardness of bars),Flurry hit AC 17 for 9 damage and AC 23 for 5

Well, it doesn't "automatically" disrupt the spell. Cass get's a Concentration Check to be able to still cast the spell. In this case, her Concentration modifier isn't high enough to be able to maintain the spell, but that is the only reason the spell is lost.
"Drasven, the only reason I still stand is because of the healing you did last time around. More would be good, but we do need to do something about this creature as well."
Could someone remind me, when we were informed that we reached Level 5, have we had a chance to gain new spells from that level or not yet?
It was implicit the concentration check would be impossible at your level without explicitly stating the mechanics. And no, you have not rested since your recent progression to 5th level. The party decided to press on.
nDevere kills the rat. Zavar casts dancing lights in the water filled hole illuminating the Splatter Man and negating the dim light. Windom begins casting Silence.
Splatter Man is a 7-8th level wizard easily discerned by his four magic missiles! Is Drasven healing Cass or attacking the ghost? After Drasven is Ghost's turn.

Well, the up side, he took his action this time around, so he's not readying again.
"Do we need to fall back and regroup, or do we continue to press on with this foul creature that prefers to hide in the water rather than face the facts of it's vile crimes?"

concentration :1d20 ⇒ 8 Yup lost the spell.
Windom takes a coin out of his pocket and walks out the room out of sight. He will cast silence on the copper piece away from the hole. Next round he will run in and drop it down the hole.

"Unless there is an objection I'll have another go at the bars, and with luck be able to rid him of the cover they provide." From roll20, exploit attempt (19 v DC 10+hardness) which fails unless age has softened the iron, making the flurry of attacks only if she feels she was successful, hit AC 30 for 7 damage and AC 26 for 9 and 5' step counter clockwise around the oubliette. Otherwise retreat to cover Windom.
@Cassandra, unless more have entered the fight, there are no rats remaining.

I updated Roll20.
@Cass: you can't touch everyone in the party and take a move action as it is full round action to touch more one person including yourself and they must be all adjacent to you.
nDevere busts the rusted bars to oubliette and they sink to the bottom. You are free to swim in the watery hole. It is 30 feet deep.
Round 4 (Previous Round)
Windom - begin casting silence
Drasven - healed Cass with CLW
Ghost - cast magic missile on Windom and disappears from sight
Cass - full round to cast hide from undead
nDevere - destroyed bars to oubliette
Zavar - action pending
EDIT: Cass is correct to cast and move. All allies were affected with Hide from Undead. I rolled the intelligent undead will save in Roll20 (natural 20).
A harrowing voice echoes in the stone chamber.
"GOING SOMEWHERE? YOU TWO HOLY MEN WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF MY UNDEAD ARMY!"
The Splatter Man extends his hand from the floor near the secret door and grabs onto Cassandra's left ankle draining her of her life force. The ghostly arm returns into the stone floor.
Roll20: Touch attack: AC 13, rolled successful miss chance, 25 damage, Fort Save 17 for half. He is in the ground adjacent to both Cass and Drasven with total cover.
Religion DC 16:
An incorporeal creature can enter or pass through solid objects, but must remain adjacent to the object’s exterior, and so cannot pass entirely through an object whose space is larger than its own. It can sense the presence of creatures or objects within a square adjacent to its current location, but enemies have total concealment (50% miss chance) from an incorporeal creature that is inside an object. In order to see beyond the object it is in and attack normally, the incorporeal creature must emerge. An incorporeal creature inside an object has total cover, but when it attacks a creature outside the object it only has cover, so a creature outside with a readied action could strike at it as it attacks. An incorporeal creature cannot pass through a force effect.
"Regardless, you have taken your last breath. Join me in death."
Cass HP before touch attack:46 - 25 - 20 + 8 + 9 + 2 = 20
Party is up. Cass is unconscious if she doesn't save.
Sense Motive DC 20, hunch:
The Splatter Man seems to completely avoiding Zavar. Have they formed an alliance? Or does Zavar have some type of leverage? Who knows...

Sense motive:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25 "Drasven, I hope you have news regarding our chances. I have no experience with such cowards as Hain. Zavar, NOW is a time for action." delay for instruction from Drasven
Here are the special mechanics for damaging the moldy spellbook. It’s a standard action to rip pages from the book—the carrier must pick which pages (and thus which spells) he wishes to destroy. Each time he does so, the Splatter Man’s ghost takes 1d6 points of damage + 1 additional point per spell destroyed. Ripping all of the pages out at once is possible for a larger overall damage bonus on that action, but ripping spells out one at a time will do more damage to the Splatter Man in the long run. Mold has destroyed most of the book’s contents, but nine spells do remain viable: comprehend languages, dispel magic, false life, gust of wind, illusory script, levitate, mage armor, magic missile, and summon monster IV.
Whomever is holding the Warden's badge, can discern its special ability. It appears on the loot list that no one is wearing the belt of DEX+2 either. There are a couple items that you have gathered that maybe useful.
Warden's Badge:
Can be used as a rod of lesser metamagic ectoplasmic spell. You must hold in hand to use.

Having taken a few seconds to think, nDevere realizes that she was so distracted by the filth of the jelly she had forgotten to don the prize from inside. She moves over to where Windom is making the quiet happen and retrieves the belt.
comes out of delay after Zavar in round five but before round six starts, and moves as stated
The Splatterman passes through the stone floor and reappears in the watery hole. His red eyes pierce through Zavar. Four bolts of force streak toward him as he screams.
Correct. Total cover negates AoE. Doesn't 5th level Warpriest get 2d6 for channeling? You haven't rested for spell slots but you receive class abilities.
Drasven channels energy with a touch attack! The force scimitar hits the ghost from above the watery hole! Zavar rips another page from the moldy spellbook! The Splatter Man shrieks in pain!
Round 6 (Previous Round)
Windom - casting silence on coin--1 round casting
Drasven - channeling
Ghost - empowered magic missiles at Zavar
Cass - spiritual weapon
nDevere - dons retrieve belt is a move action; standard pending
Zavar - destroys another page, Dispel Magic
Going to speed this combat up now that silence has enveloped the room with a 40 foot diameter. Casters will need to be inside the secret door passage or at the room's corners to cast unless you have the Silent metamagic feat. The other entrance is barred.
