I can't see the map atm, but I assume from the "Welcome", that Baz can't see anything. If that is the case, Baz will cast Bless. Surely that will catch everyone?

You... you actually ended up in the ONLY position on the staircase that has a direct line of effect to everyone (that isn't Sahrek since he's still downstairs.) That worked out REALLY well for you, actually.

Baz casts Bless, giving everyone a little more fervor to fight!

The man's nether regions speaks up in a "muffled in a bag" kind of way! "Mr. Baran, hold the doorway, please! I'm almost out of here, zee hah hah!" The man responds with a nod and a slight chuckle! Bardic Performance: Courage

Did Omrax pick up an evil vibe from the fleeing creature before it got away? Does this guy look like one of the demon worm possessed farmers we encountered on the way to Mendev?.
"Hold up Sir Desmond until we ascertain this man's motives. He could be innocent."
Omrax will move into the room past Desmond and to the left of the man with a club. If tries to AOO him, he will retaliate, otherwise he detects evil on the man and the room.
Ha, no overwhelming auras from anyone yet (since that requires an outsider of HD twice yours.) Anyways...
The creature effectively started and ended a "combat" when he flew up; he can make it upstairs in the surprise round alone, so there was no focus time opportunity.
Note that Detect Evil is a 60-ft cone (or a target in that cone thanks to Paladin special text), so there's no way to get a round 1 "is there any Evil auras in front of me?" or the special paladin use of it as "Is THAT creature evil?" on this turn for the whole room (unless you stuff yourself in the corner and do a diagonal cone, maybe?). I'm going to much desired sleepytime, so you've got time to hammer out what you're doing.
In any case, the club thug hasn't gone yet, so no AoOs on you.

I'll wait to post Desmond's actions until everyone else goes.

Omrax would be opposite side of Varg (flanking) trying to detect evil on the man and into the room. I could not update the map. If he can only get the man this round, that is where he will focus..

Phew! Done and back! Catching up now. Where are the bad guys at in the room? Did they go invisible? If so, Yushua will cast invisibility purge and move into the room while activating bane. Otherwise he will simply double move up and activate bane.
KN (arcana):1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 +2 to ID creatures
The fat wizard man is a construct of variable alignment (based on the "Master's" alignment, known as a Homunculus. To help keep pace, here's two good pieces of info:
Special Abilitites: A homunculus has a poisonous bite that is very slow to react (read: Frequency 1/minute). It also cannot speak (which is strange given its speech earlier.)
Special Defenses It only has construct traits; no resistances.
Also, he's perched right above the doorway, carrying a chamberpot. Were you slower to react, he'd likely be readying to dump it on someone coming through.
---
Yushua moves into the room and spots the singular man in the room, as well as something above the doorway!
He casts Invisibility Purge, revealing a third individual in the corner! A Kelish man carrying an urn and possessing both caster-type items (a few wands, spell-component pouch) as well as some armaments (light armor, shortbow, rapier)! He look to around in surprise, "Ah! Spoiled the joke, you no fun-nik!
---
Varg moves into the room, eating no AoOs (thanks to his quick reactions.)
---
Omrax moves in and detects at the man! He does NOT detect as Evil (and likely relays such info)!

Desmond mutters to Omrax, "Alright, I'll just knock the guy out." He brings the mace up and swings at the man standing in front of him, but tries to bring the butt of the handle down on the man's head.
Chelsea casts a silent shriek at the man, who uses musical training to to reflexively make an opposite-spectrum tone to hold back the pain! "You think that shriek's bad? You should have heard some of the girls back home in my heyday!"
---
The club man looks to the jester and sees the breach and danger. First, he swings at the not-undead-ish man...
... before suicidally moving around the party! AC is AC+mobility+def is:12 + 4 + 2 = 18 for AoOs. Varg, Yushua, Omrax, Desmond all get one!
---
The tiny fat man (whom only Yushua noticed after entering the room), makes himself more known from 15 ft up (3 squares from ground above doorway) drops the used chamberpot and contents on Desmond's head!
vs touch, miss square:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 71d3 ⇒ 31d8 ⇒ 6A miss. would have been nonlethal and gross.
Due to atrocious aim, however, he just ends up pouring it down the south-western square from Desmond's! He flaps his arms as hard as he can to fly out the hole in the roof!

Club Man and Tiny Wizard
Baz begins to bellow loudly as he moves up the steps to stand behind Chelsea. You shall repent to Sarenrae for your sins! You must turn away from the darkness!"

The club bounces off of Yushua's armor harmlessly. Yushua swings Redemption at him in retaliation as the man moves about.
Enforcer:
Intimidate to demoralize:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18 If successful, shaken for number of rounds equal to damage dealt. If critical, frightened for 1 round and then shaken for number of rounds equal to damage dealt.

Scroll still in hand, Luisila stays on the ground floor beside Sahrek and looks up through the massive rent in the ceiling in the direction of the man in the far west of the northern room of the second storey.
I guess that masked man’s the jester.
She reads from her scroll of Silence targeting the upper northern edge of the hole in the second floor, half-way between the man she thinks is the jester and Yushua.
Silence inscribed at CL=3, lasts 3 rounds. Full round action to cast.
Luisila then interrupts his joke with the Silence scroll and copycats herself!
---
The Jester doesn't appreciate the silencing, as two ropes come down from the top floor, with two other soldiers at the tops of those ropes! First the Jester tries to not be on fire more...
Yushua Male (totally not a) Dhampir Inquisitor of Sarenrae 10 | HP 83/83 | AC 22 T 14 FF 19 | DR 10/adam 100 pnts | CMD 25 | 25% light fortification | Fort +11 Ref +10 Will +11 (+2 disease, mind-affecting) | Init +9 | Perc +16 | judgement: 4/4 | bane: 8/10
I assume these soldiers look human? Switching to human-bane if so.
"You're on the wrong team." Yushua mouths to the man next to him as he lashes out with his scimitar.
Enforcer:
Intimidate to demoralize:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29 If successful, shaken for number of rounds equal to damage dealt. If critical, frightened for 1 round and then shaken for number of rounds equal to damage dealt.
Yushua's swing, despite not critting (Have you angered Sarenrae somehow?), takes down the first individual on his first swing! His second, however, does not connect!

Omrax will forgo the Aoo on the club man (since he is already down by that point anyway).
Omrax will double move down the stairs after the Jester.
Not exactly sure where he ends up on the map with 40' of move. Trying to get into melee with Jester. I think I have him correctly placed. Move me if otherwise.

"You should've just kept repelling down, friend." Desmond says evenly as he steps up to bring the mace down on the soldier's head.
Any combination of damages rolled would take him down but not dead , so you're A-Ok on a not murdering scale. He wasn't a 18 HP goon.
---
Desmond pleases the mace as he takes down the goon (whom Baz can tell isn't truly dead yet.)
---
Omrax gives chase after the jester down the stairs! I can update map a after work. That hole in the floor will be the biggest issue for most of you.
---
Varg and Chelsea are up!
Unlikely on hostiles unless you get creative like the Jester did. Map is updated with locations and with little, neon green numbers to indicate 5' squares. There is no 4 on the map because where that square would be is below the floor where Baz is standing.

Unable to speak, Chelsea settles for hurling a bolt of flame at the jester.
Elemental Ray 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23 (PBS, Touch) Fire Damage 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10(PBS)

Omrax, coming down the stairs, sees the back door behind the jester and decides to go outside and around the building to cut off any escape route ( realizing this might take a couple rounds, but better than trying to jump the pit in full plate)
Male Human Ranger 11 HP: 101/101 [0] | AC 26 | T 17 | FF 21 | Fort +12 | Ref +14 | Will +9 | CMD 31 | Init +6 (+4* or +2*) | Perc +17 (+4* or +2*) | Sense Mot +3
Desmond calls down to Sahrek, "Come here, boy!" and gives a sharp whistle.
Chelsea fires off a ray and connects, burning the already-charred jester!
---
Varg climbs down the closest rope with ease, accelerated climbing (and has 25 feet of movement left upon arrival with the floor, which he can set. I'll note that's a door in the corner.)
---
Sahrek leaves delay and runs to his master's side!
---
The tiny wizard-ish man (whom everyone with the Knowledge (arcana) has identified as a Homunculus) flaps back into the room! One arm keeps pumping as he readies a bird's egg, with a specific eye on Chelsea!

“Cleaver, move into the far north-western corner to block his escape through the door!”
Luisila moves 5’ to the west to block the jester from jumping back over the hole to the east and again *casts* Silence onto Varg.
Sidenote: Sound can't pass through the silenced area (which largely plugs up the whole hole), but shouting bypasses that. You just gotta use your outdoor voice and don't have someone horrendous at perception as the recipient if you're shouting through the walls to bypass the no-talk zone.
Luisila casts Silence, this time covering the southern area of the building!

Magic enhancement damage dice typically don't crit, so only the +2 to the enhancement bonus would multiply. It's in the Weapon Enhancement rules somewhere. Though remember that bows are a X3! Also, in Silence, nobody can hear you crit.
A reminder that we are in a "Who is touching what and how" zone. I'll edit in a nice little description of the third floor for time purposes, no perceptions needed.
Upstairs, there is a small collection of items, including a large urn (read: carried with two hands.) It's silky-white bears artistic renditions of hundreds of horrors, all crammed into its face. A book rests open on a crate. Bedding for 4 sits here, with numerous other (non-magical) items hastily half-packed.
Yushua Male (totally not a) Dhampir Inquisitor of Sarenrae 10 | HP 83/83 | AC 22 T 14 FF 19 | DR 10/adam 100 pnts | CMD 25 | 25% light fortification | Fort +11 Ref +10 Will +11 (+2 disease, mind-affecting) | Init +9 | Perc +16 | judgement: 4/4 | bane: 8/10
If Luisila will be so kind as to drop the silence effects, Yushua will detect alignments on all of the objects after resheathing his scimitar. He'll also detect magic and try to remember something from that one magic class he took back at the Grand Lodge.
@Yushua: Yup, that urn and two sticks the Jester is carrying are magic, all-right. Would need to inspect them a little harder to determine anything.
The urn may be overpowering to some of your less experienced party members, but you're just above that cusp. That urn is a good lot of Chaotic Evil, and quite fluid about it, too. Like it's multiple auras of different levels.
