Murmur stamps his foot in agitation. Stupid mage that made this place must be dreadfully boring, disliking illusions so much. Maybe there's something in the room more interesting that the metal doll.
Also, the door that leads outside seems strange to you. You are not sure why, but you get a sense it would be wise to not approach it.
The rest of the room is depressingly empty.
Now that he's in close, Gathroc lays into the golem with Zhennuelge.
I will look around the room and see if there is anything that I could use against the golem or anything that seems interesting.
Perception
Stealth
Knowledge (arcana) along with detect magic to figure out if the gnome is an illusion, scrying spell, etc.
Knowledge (religion) to see if the gnome actually is a ghost
Euridicea tsked as her dress got ripped, not even paying any mind to the wounds already beginning to seal from the golem's strike. She jumped back several feet from out of the construct's reach as she started to rip a ruined section of her dress from around her midriff. Her eyes narrowed as she started to recall a spell to cast upon the golem to show her ire.
The image has not seemed to notice your approach.
Vesta's spell takes hold on the creature and it's movement slow while Gabriel and Gathroc continue to wail upon the creature.

Round 3
Vesta waves her arms and says something arcane.
"Com a velocidade de morte!"
Several (if not all) party members feel as though every muscle (or whatever serves the same function) is brimming with electricity.
Haste
School transmutation; Level bard 3, sorcerer/wizard 3
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (a shaving of licorice root)
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets one creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart
Duration 1 round/level
Saving Throw Fortitude negates (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless)
The transmuted creatures move and act more quickly than normal. This extra speed has several effects.
When making a full attack action, a hasted creature may make one extra attack with any weapon he is holding. The attack is made using the creature's full base attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to the situation. (This effect is not cumulative with similar effects, such as that provided by a speed weapon, nor does it actually grant an extra action, so you can't use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round.)
A hasted creature gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves. Any condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonus es.
All of the hasted creature's modes of movement (including land movement, burrow, climb, fly, and swim) increase by 30 feet, to a maximum of twice the subject's normal speed using that form of movement. This increase counts as an enhancement bonus, and it affects the creature's jumping distance as normal for increased speed. Multiple haste effects don't stack. Haste dispels and counters slow .

Round 3:
Experiencing a sudden electric thrill, even as he notes the doll's movements slow down, Gabriel continues to slap the huge construct silly!
Murmur glances at the battle, noting that the hand seems to be quite more powerful than it looked at first glance, then returns his attention to what caught his eye. He casts Detect Magic.
Murmur will scan both the gnome figure and the door, looking for magical auras.
Gabriel Attack: for
The golem collapses motionless to the floor as Gabriel strikes it once more with his enchanted brass knuckles.
With the construct having fallen, Gabriel wastes no time.
Right then. Our little dance has probably set off a number of alarms. We should continue on our way, quickly.
He then heads off in the direction of the door that leads deeper/higher into the tower...
Gabriel starts to methodically look around for (secret) doors that do not lead back outside the tower...
Vesta will test the ceiling for protection vs incorporeal(really need a short woed for that) while she searches for valuables.
Perception
Gathroc will sift through the remains of the golem. "Perhaps we should just take the obvious way out. Sometimes that is the best tactic"
Realizing that the "gnome" is a scrying spell and knowing that I have nothing I would be willing to waste to dispel it I go over and examine the door.

"The wizard has left a trick on the door. Transmutation and Abjuration magic, so be careful unless you want him-" Murmur points to the image of the gnome, "to have his fun."

Examining the door with detect magic to determine what spells are active
spell craft
As Daemon moves to approach the door to study it, it deforms around it's hinges and seeks to engulf him.
Slam Attack: for if a hit, then Initiate Grapple:
"that's a ..." vesta attempth to say just as the door reaches out to attack "...trap." vesta finishes in a quiet voice, since the point became moot.
"Great, now a door is trying to eat me." I say as I struggle to get way from it.
CMB to escape the door
Noting the door trying to eat Daemon, Gabriel abandons his search for the moment, to come to the aid of the Lich!
I'm not sure if I can do this, but vesta will attempt to telekinetically grapple the door. She wants to force it open so Deamon can escape. I think it'd be considered a pin. At the very least give him a bonus to escape.
telekinetic Cmb
Daemon is able to wrest himself free from the door with Vesta's disembodied assistance and stumbles back from the portal. The door returns upon its hinges and sits motionless again.
The sight of a door attacking and attempting to swallow Daemon sends Murmur into a giggling fit. He'd been warned, and didn't heed the warning. After Daemon breaks free, Murmur studies the door (from a distance).
"hummm... Vesta thinks
Vesta stares at the door a moment from a distance then she steels herself before throwing her arms forward making a grasping motion toward the door
CMB
Gabriel resumes his methodical search of the room for secretive ways and means.

Gabriel resumes his methodical search of the room for secretive ways and means.
Vesta just wanted to see if she could, which she can so she'll watch to see what the others are doing.
Gathroc just watches the door attempt to eat Daemon and sighs "That wasn't very smart. Regardless, we need a way out of here. Do we know if that door/bridge goes anywhere important??"
"Do we know if that door/bridge goes anywhere important??"
"Why yes it does, it leads outside in-fact. There must be some other way to get to the next level of the tower and we had better find it quickly. The owner knows we are here by now I am sure."
Vesta is going to run her hand along/through the wall as she floats towards the apparition. She'll cast detect magic at 60' away, but move to within 5 feet if she sees nothing to raise alarm.
Spellcraft
She's still looking for secret doors etc
perception
After being attacked by the door I will be more wary and stop 10ft away from the "Gnome"
"Are you just an observer or do you have a part to play in all of this?" I ask it.
The gnome image replies "That is a curious question to ask the owner of the tower that you have just assaulted. What purpose do you abominations have in my home?"

"He definitely know's we're here Vesta says sardonically
"We have been sent here on an errand to recover an item from you, if you are agreeable we will take the item and leave without further fuss. If however you refuse I believe that you can see that we have no issues with tearing this tower down around your ears as we search for it."
Intimidate
Sense Motive
The gnome laughs at your attempted intimidation "Such a powerful lich to be insulting shadows. Why I have many 'items' that you may take. I have not yet emptied my chamber pot this morning, perhaps that will sate your desires?"

In her hollow far away voice Vesta responds to the apparation,
"If you'll show us to your bed chamber we'll be happy to inspect that particular item and let you know if it is sufficient." Vesta says with a hint of venom and sarcasm in her voice.
