==TANGLE MAP==
Since he said he'd be unavailable until this weekend, I'll assume Yanos got stuck outside. Peri said she was headed back towards Yanos, so she might be outside as well, but has yet to officially declare.
Clever Door Opposed Check vs Rowanna: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Rowanna turns a few more dials, and another chute closes. 2 of 5 closed
Leonel puts his weight against the other door, but it doesn't budge. In fact, he's pretty sure it's beyond his ability to force open.
Giving Kilian and Haris a chance to react before moving to the next round. If you are doing nothing, please let me know so I'm not waiting on you.

Kilian continues to try to keep the worst of the water's impact from the duo working on the door.

Alie, stunned by her surprising success, jumps back up to try it again.
Int. check 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Round 2
The water rises quickly, now circling your knees.
Clever Door Opposed Check vs Alie: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Alie turns the wrong dial and the door responds by reopening the chute she previously closed.
1 of 5 chutes closed

Intelligence check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Clever Door Opposed Check vs Rowanna: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Rowanna quickly turns the dial back and the chute closes.

Peri actually twiddles her thumbs, and speaks to Yanos
"Guess they found a trap?"

Sorry, I could have sworn I posted I would not be able to post until tonight due to work. Man that was horrible.
If I can I will advance into the room with my arm entangled in Peri's, a curious look on my face at just what the heck everyone is doing with this odd door.
I'll cast a Bull's Str on Killian to help him at his task, and suggest Leonel simple open the door.
Fey Sorcerer 16 | HP 159/159 (+ __13___ temp HP) | AC (23(19), Touch 16 Flat Footed 15 | CMD 20 | Fort: +(22)20, Ref: +(20)18, Will: +(18)16 (+2 vs. Illusions) | Init. +8 | Perception +2 | SM 0 | Evasion |
Killian tries to figure out the puzzle as well.

Yanos and Peri are stuck outside until the others defeat the door.
Clever Door Opposed Check vs Kilian: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
Kilian tries the door and manages to lock down one more chute, though it was a close set of tricky moves. Still, the water rises to waist height. Alie is forced to begin swimming. Swim check please

Wasting no time, Rowanna tries to finish the puzzle.
Intelligence check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Kilian picks Alie up and holds her out of the water. "Here, sit on my shoulders."

Is a Swim check still required if I am getting a boost from Killian?
"Thanks, big guy. I might have to use that wand on myself if we can't shut this thing off!"

If Rowanna didn't get it
Leonel calls upon the last bit of extra might he can muster and tries to force the game forward. STR+rage+luck: 1d20 + 3 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 3 + 2 + 1 = 20
Leonel can save the rage, it isn't needed.
Clever Door Opposed Check vs Rowanna: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Rowanna's hands dart across the door, turning dials, pulling levers, and pushing plates. Suddenly the dials and gears stop, then resume all recess a few inches and turn as one, cranking open multiple heavy locking bars in both the door ahead and the one behind. With two last THUNKS the doors open.

"Sorry to have put you out any. Seemed like the time for a bath." Leonel responds, noting his soaked condition.

”In the end, it was quite simple. Every action created a perpendicular reaction.” The young woman starts to explain, then catches herself, “But I'm sure you all probably figured that out. Too bad my outfit is probably ruined.” She laments as the doors open.

Peri manages to bite her tongue at the homely womans comment...

A party with wet cloths, 3 arcanists, and 0 Prestidigitations. . .
"Well, shall we, . . "

Once-cheerful mosaics of smiling children and adults running through the streets of Absalom line the walls, but age and water damage smear the faces enough to make it seem as though they weep. Sturdy work benches and bookshelves line the walls. An intricate mess of bronze chains, plates, pendulums, and gears that form a sort of astrolabe dangle high above the room. Catwalks spin out from the walls in three places, curving on a horizontal plane and meeting in an open circle in the middle of the room. Between the catwalk circle dangles the body of a desiccated elf, ragged and dusty scraps of clothing barely covering his thin, bony body. He seems to be dangled in a maze of chains connected to the massive astrolabe above and the chains clank silently as he lolls his head from side to side.
Nuar Spiritskin, the Minotaur Prince, is chained to a dusty couch in the northern spiral of the room. He bares obvious wounds, and is barely conscious.

"O...kay...", Haris steps into the room not sure what to make of the situation. Under other conditions, whips and chains is right up his alley. "Looks kind of like Zerta's bedroom", he scans the surroundings for a ground level anchor point for the chains.
Perc: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
The chains anchor to the astrolabe above the elf. None descend to ground level.
F Human (Chelaxian) Witch 8 - HP 50/50 [7 Temp] - AC 19*/T: 14/FF: 17* - Perception +8 - Fort: +7, Ref: +8, Will +9 (+1 vs. Curses, +1 vs. Acid or Earth) - CMB +4, CMD 17 (+1 vs. Grapple) - Speed 30 - Init. +9
Rowanna follows in step with Haris into the room and casts Detect Magic.
HP: 59/59, +4 Init, +17 Perception, F: +8, R: +5, W: +10, AC: 21, T: 14, FF: 17, CMD: 22 , LG Human Cleric 8, 5274-20, Longspear +10/5, 1d8+5 (Large +10/+5, 2d6+6), P 20/x3
If not stopped or prevented from doing so, I'll make my way directly to Nuar once I hear that there are no obvious magical traps or dangers, and attempt a quick heal check. I've only taken a full Movement right now, so that others can act if we need Init. Heal is a Full Round action, so will take me a total of 3 rounds to accomplish. If nothing happens before that point, the check is below.
Perception for dangers: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Heal: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
"Are you ok? Can you respond? What happened, big guy?", as I approach.

Kilian follows into the room, alert for an attack. That's probably the architect's body...have to remember to take it down and carry it back.

"This looks unfortunate." Leonel remarks as he enters the room.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
As Yanos attempts to wake up Nuar the desiccated elf’s head lolls to the side and his eyes flutter open. He stiffens and tugs at his tethers, screaming with rage. “You! You ungrateful, short-lived insects! I was betrayed and dragged on this altar of pride! Mortality is all you crawling beasts deserve!”
A whirring and grinding noise begins as the mechanisms of the astrolabe above him start to move.
Rowanna detects magic in the room, concentrated on the elf and the astrolabe. She has not had enough time to determine anything else about them yet.

Wow, really quick on the uptake there, Kilian.

Haris prepares a grappling line and tosses it at the chains.
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26
That grapple throw will work Haris, however, there are ladders that go to the catwalk, if that's where you're trying to go.

Let's start with oppressive boredom on the shackled elf.

Oh I see, I misread the map, I thought the dashed line were chains - so Haris grapples the cat walk at the central point, begins climbing next round.

When the elf creature awakens and spouts his nonsense, Rowanna ends her divination spell with an exasperated sigh and walks south away from the group. She promptly gives the chained fellow her Evil Eye.
”The whole apparatus is magical, I'm sure we're about to find out what it does.”
Evil Eye Hex: -2 to saving throws. DC 14.
Alie Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Alie has never heard of anything like this before. It might be a unique magical event. Any action from Alie this round?
Will Save vs Boredom: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 Fail
Will Save vs Hex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 Fail
With a painful sigh the elf's head rolls back and his eyes flutter. Bored this round
