"Ah, good," Pig says as he shakes off the blow to his midsection. "You come to Pig. Save Pig trouble."
The over-sized half-orc swings his greataxe at the singing goblin with ferocious intent.
Tad needs more than a bit of luck it seems, as more of his shots fly into empty space. Hironaki, similarly, misses his shot this time around. Pig's mighty swing falls short. Everyone seems to be distracted, likely from the awful screeching that one attempts to call singing.
Dolvin attempts to cure the injured, and Armik, also, tends to his wounds.
I assume Dolvin selective channels.
Combat Round 2 Baddie Conditions: Inspired Rage
Singing Goblin
Armik (shield of faith), Rishh, Hironaki
Pig -6, Dolvin, Tad
Winged Goblins R(unconscious) B-4
Rishh strikes the second winged creature, leaving it unconscious as it takes too much pain. These mutated goblins seem to be very unstable as a result of their change.
As a result, only the screeching 'singing' goblin remains a threat. She continues swinging her flail at Pig. But she gets uncomfortable and nervous as she sees her winged friends drop.

Armik's nodachi makes good as it strikes the goblin in her leg. The rest of the group joins into the ring hoping to help Pig take out that last nuisance.
The goblin retaliates further by continuing her attack on Pig, but she starts to be intimidated by the scores of Pathfinder around her.
Finally, Pig swings hard and accurate! The blow is strong enough to knock the singer unconscious. With that, the threat is over and you find some time to rest. You search her and the other goblins to find nothing of much use.
I'm not at my computer but I think she only has mundane equipment.
Dolvin:
The magical aura surrounding this place becomes weaker somewhat after your combat with the goblins in the arena.
On the goblin, she has owns a leather armor, a heavy flail, and a funny looking stone.

Rishh is not able to discern any distinguishable tracks, but there is much evidence that goblins have been moving around all over the ruins. The passageway does not look dangerous, no traps are allocated along the corridor.

"Use on Pig?" the half-orc asks of the two clerics, holding out a wand.

Sorry guys, the last combat I pasted the picture of the wrong mutated goblin. The earlier goblin only has wings, and no claws or breath fire. This room is the one with that goblin.
I've gone ahead and assigned some sort of marching order and going to move us on.
Pig leads the way and opens the door to the eastern room, this octagonal room looks to have once served as an office: a smashed desk is shoved against the north wall near toppled bookcases. A large pile of books, some with chewed-off covers, has been arranged into the shape of a makeshift throne. To the northeast sits a two-foot-diameter boulder covered in shiny baubles, coins, and other trinkets.
Inside the room, there are some creatures. A goblin, looking scarier than the ones before, and more mutated look towards the pathfinders menacingly. Along with her is pair of monsters composed of half-formed body parts, this creature stands on two monstrous legs. A mouth full of jagged teeth dominates the creature’s bulbous head. Its veins pulse just beneath transparent flesh
Kn. Local DC12 to identify the goblin. Kn. Dungeoneering DC10 to identify Flesh Monsters. As usual, every +5 from DC allows you one question.
The goblin doesn't hesitate and swoops in to breath fire on the group. She breathes fire on to the pathfinders and holds a reach weapon in her hand that isn't a claw.
Armik, Rishh, Pig is hit. Reflex DC15 for half damage Breath weapon:2d4 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4 fire damage

Singed but undaunted, Pig moves out of the hall to engage one of the giant, fleshy creatures. "Big beasts might be challenge," he cautions his allies before swinging his axe in a powerful overhand chop.

Armik instinctively flinches from the flames, but hastens into the room once he realizes their ineffectiveness. His blade drawn he waits for the fleshies to attack.

Armik and Pig's movements will provoke AoO from the goblin's reach weapon. She has combat reflexes!
As Armik and Pig move into position, the goblin attempts to swipe her ranseur towards them. They are quick enough to stay just out of the goblin's reach.

On my last posting, I hadn't anticipated we'd move so quickly to combat - given its ineffectiveness, I'd intended Tad to stow his crossbow and ready his shield and mace before the group entered the corridor. I understand your ruling, either way.
Tad advances as far as the traffic in the narrow corridor allows. Reaching out a hand, he gently touches Rishh's shoulder.
Casts guidance.
Spell description:
For the next minute, Rishh gets a +1 competence bonus on a single attack roll, saving throw, or skill check. He must choose to use the bonus before making the roll to which it applies.
Upon enacting this guidance, Rishh may notice the scent of freshly fallen rain carried upon a gentle breeze that appears to flow in the same direction as his endeavour, assisting his efforts.
Tad- In game wise you probably wouldn't have known that combat was going to happen immediately sometimes as well. Hold what you think you should be while the door is opening.
Upon seeing combat take place in a crowded area, Hironaki draws his longbow and attempts to fire in the mess. Unfortunately, too many of the pathfinders are in his way causing his arrow to fly off target for fear of hitting his allies. They reek off dying flesh, and move like dying creatures. Their attack also resembles something like a dying move, and is easily dodge and deflected by the Pathfinders.
longbow:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 201d8 ⇒ 7
The flesh monsters aimlessly move forward and attempt to bite you. One moves after Pig and the other Armik.

Seeing Rishh get up close, the Goblin mutant drops her arms in favour of her sharp claws. She lashes out strongly at Rishh and pick him up with the ugly looking claw, only to drop him when she finds him unconscious already.

"Snakey! No!" Pig shouts and turns his axe against the goblin mutant.
Note That Rishh has a Barbed Vest from APG (Not outlawed in additional resources document)

Thin leather flaps keep the hundreds of tiny, fishhook-like needles dotting the surface of this black vest from harming you while you wear it. However, any creature that injures you with a natural or unarmed attack must make a DC 15 Reflex save or take 1 point of damage. Any creature swallows you it takes 1 point of damage each round until it either spits you up, you escape, or you die (at which point the vest has sustained enough damage to no longer serve as a threat). The vest can only be worn over light armor or no armor.

Rishh fights through the pain and manages to stabilize.
Rishh, you forgot the -2 penalty due to your HP, and your +1 bonus with guidance, but you still stabilized regardless.
Tad throws a lightning bolt towards the mutant, having been over confident in her abilities, she does not dodge the shot and takes the brunt head on! It stuns her a little.
Hiro's arrows continue to fire astray while Dolvin attempts to provide Hiro with a bit more luck.
The last dying flesh being continues his advance on pig. But continues to be hopeless as Pig brushes the attacker off.

Meanwhile, the mutant moves around towards Armik and unleashes her fury! But her overconfidence gets the better of her, as she strikes nothing but thin air.

Tad stares at his outstretched hand, clearly frightened by the electric bolts he just unleashed.
It takes a short moment before Hironaki's words draw his attention. He looks from the offered wand to the fallen Rishh and croaks something unintelligible in reply. Turning to Rishh, he crouches and, closing his eyes, reaches out to touch his injured ally.

Pig growls as he preferred prey runs away. He hefts his axe and tries to cut down the flesh beast in his way.
Fair enough, but you will still be considered prone (-4AC).
Tad heals the fallen Pathfinder Rishh, to immediately have him attempt to get up on his feet to get back into the fight. This leaves him open against the enemy. Fortunately for him, the creatures attacks do not make good this time.
Pig hacks away the last flesh like creature while Armik takes his chances to finish off the gobinoid. His strike is clean as the goblin bleeds to unconsciousness.
Combat is over!
As you stand over the fallen and search their corpse for anything useful, you feel uncomfortable and nervous. Something in the atmosphere has changed.
By the way, they only have mundane gear that is no longer relevant to the rest of the scenario.

Still a little in shock, Tad attempts to collect himself. Positioning himself in the midst of the party, he touches his hand to the pendant beneath his shirt, and murmurs, "Gozreh, attend my companions."
A faint breath of air bearing the gentle scent of freshly fallen rain circulates the chamber as he channels.

As the soft breeze dissipates, Tad shifts his mace uneasily as he looks around. "Something... has changed," he breathes, shuddering. "But what?"

Shouldering his bow, Hiro points to his wand. "Does anyone require more healing?" Moving into the room, he gives it a once over them asks. "Keep moving? To the south?"
