Staggered and Unconscious
When your nonlethal damage equals your current hit points, you’re staggered. You can only take a standard action or a move action in each round (in addition to free, immediate, and swift actions). You cease being staggered when your current hit points once again exceed your nonlethal damage.
When your nonlethal damage exceeds your current hit points, you fall unconscious. While unconscious, you are helpless.
Spellcasters who fall unconscious retain any spellcasting ability they had before going unconscious.
If a creature’s nonlethal damage is equal to his total maximum hit points (not his current hit points), all further nonlethal damage is treated as lethal damage. This does not apply to creatures with regeneration. Such creatures simply accrue additional nonlethal damage, increasing the amount of time they remain unconscious.
Stevesie draws his short sword and moves to Jeva. He shouts, "Lets try not to kill the child shall we?"
If non-lethal + lethal exceeds the hp total, the character falls unconscious.
Apparently Jeva's rage is quelled from Kalani's hex.

Steveis assumes the role of executor and goes to finish off the last kobold who is unconscious on the floor.
He turns to the adventurers, "Hi my name is Stevesie, and this is my guild. We have Ulfgar, Kalani, and Churdon." He motions to each of them one at a time as he says their names. "We were lead here by Jeva, the shapeshifter, who is a child from a burned down orphanage. We are looking for the rest of the children. Who, pray tell, are you."
For Ulfgar's question:
form.
Ulfgar ties Jeva up.

"Ulfgar, when she shapeshifts back it might not matter if she shrinks as she will (hopefully) regain consciousness."
Stevesie then repeats his questions to the adventurers, hoping that they just didn't hear him the first time.

"You're with that thing! She looked like she wanted to year your head off!" yells Kimi, incredulous and taking a few steps back.
The halfling, panting from the exertion, adds in between gasps, "Jurin... *gasp* taken... *gasp* others we told... *pant* to run... that way," pointing north.
"We're from Flacon's Hollow - Jurin and the rest of us," chirps the wavy-haired tomboy.
"And I'm Edgrin, a member of the Grey Eagles, or at least what's left of them. We need to save the rest of the kids," adds the halfling.
Stevesie has heard of the Grey Eagles, an adventuring troupe based in Falcon’s Hollow who ventured into the vale a week ago seeking treasure.
Stevesie believes that Jurin and Edgrin are 100% genuine.

Stevesie approaches the other adventures. "It looks like we have similar goals. We will take a look at that one room we missed back in the beginning and you will take a look at the room further ahead. We will meet up with you after."
The gang back tracks a little to the missed hallway and listens at the door.
"Sorry, but we're not going that way alone, especially with just a dagger between the two of us," says Edgrin, while Jurin wears an incredulous face at the lack of help.
Which direction are you guys going?
This dark ossuary is cold and full of the sound of dripping water. A dark corridor runs north down the center of the room, while to either side two large bays open into small niches that contain ancient dwarven skeletons. At the far end of the corridor rests a large iron anvil.
Ulfgar doesn't see anything else out of the ordinary.
The group moves into the ossuary. What now?
Stevesie steps closer to one of the near alcoves to poke behind the bars and the stout skeleton decides to claw back at him through the grates:
