Vala shrugs "Yeah, I don't worship any god, much less some creepy headless lizard..."
"This worked before..."
Vala flurries around the room covering as much space as she can starting East, daggers wide open at her sides. She listens for any signs of movement, and feels for any contact.
If she discovers nothing with this tactic, she ends her movement at the alter and examines it.
Vala moves East around the pillar 15 feet before notiving a narrow pit around it. 10 feet further she sees a large purple snake with a face in the pit staring at her... only it seems to have a friend 2 feet away from it shimmering... still have a standard action left

As the paladin sees the Naga slither out and issue a bolt of lighting into his friends.. his zeal takes over.
Sprinting under the speed of Ansel's magic he blurs up to the Naga and unleashes an absolutely brutal divine slash, but the snake dudes at the last moment!

Displacement wrote:
The creature benefits from a 50% miss chance as if it had total concealment. Unlike actual total concealment, displacement does not prevent enemies from targeting the creature normally.
Since it is not total concealment, I would assume Improved Precise still works, but I'll let the GM figure it out for sure.

Ansel hustles into the room, feeling a bit late though the clash is only seconds in. Seeing the Naga shimmer he turns his attention to what he has worried about since they entered the snake-folk temple 'magic user.'
With a snap of his finger, he whispers two words. "Skína, elskan." A cloud of golden particles covers the south western corner behind pews but missing Yon and Rbuod.
Yon's Fairie Fire successfully negates the Naga's displacement...
Ansel's spell reveals nothing and as the chanting ends moments later.. laughter from the glitterdust area erupts with taunting chatter in Aklo.
Vala attempts to fool the giant snake but fails to deceive the beast who barely manages to avoid both stabs.
From behind the Naga, and the alter appears serpentfolk with 2 glowing rapiers...
vala:

The serpentfolk snears at Vala and his eyes glow... and a voice from the southern corner chants briefly in Aklo.
will save:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 Vala finds herself paralyzed.
The snake seizes the opportunity to sting Vala with her tail while biting at Ayame.

Robin growls, and complains to Ansel, "What do you know about these things, wizard! Dispel its damned defenses!"
He then starts firing his bow at the naga, since he cannot quite see the serpentfolk. 'Hard to hit, gotta hit it to kill it.' As quickly as you can see, four arrows fly from his bow.
Agriver sees Vala cease moving and defending herself, and then the new foes. With a blur of motion he weaves the giant adamantium sword in several wide careful arcs trying to catch the elusive naga.

Ansel hustles to the far wall. He panics a little, hearing the stress in Robin and Agriver's voices.
"Sjáðu nokkrar núðlur!" the dwarf yells, giving the creatures everything he's got. Inky black tentacles begin to burrow out of the ground, entered around the North East corner.
Grapple:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24 Damage:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Black Tentacles, location marked. I believe BT's CMB = CL7 + 4 + 1= 12. CMD = 22
"Magic can do THAT?!" replies an exasperated knight. With a clag the naga comes in contact with his full plate slightly interrupting his train of thought.
Gathing his wits again he finishes "Are you sure the majority of wizards are not heritics?"

Pants after the arcane excertion, Ansel sputters "Of course, the arcane can do anything with the right power and knowledge. I believe it even forged some of today's gods.." Ansel stops there for a moment and considers everything. ..Majority of wizards heretics, magic building gods..
The Dwarf gulps nervously, as he looks at the paladin in the middle of combat. "Uh, y'know, cause, the presence of the gods is obvious. Indisputable. The arcane doesn't dispute that. Might just lower the pedestal a little bit.. from some points of view.. it's all perspective really.." He grumbles off unsure if Agriver will turn to swing on him next or the Naga.
Yon slides past Robin, and orders Rboud to seek in the southern corners... but Rboud finds nothing. Yon throws a Flamestrike ontop of the bad guys..
damage:7d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 1, 3, 2, 4, 3) = 16 SR:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8 reflex save Naga:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
The spell fails to effect the Serpentfolk, and the Naga avoids most of it.
Barely noticing the scratch the beast inflicts on him, Agriver watches the snake move and tries to anticipate but still he misses his first swing, but he then uses the momentum to execute an aggressive spin which hits the creature twice soundly!

Robin growls, as the lizard moves out of the way. He decides he needs to destroy that caster, as it appears that Agriver is doing pretty well with the big snake thing.

Seeing some hits land on the Naga, Ansel sets his eye on the fleeing caster. Hussling back by Robin, Ansel casts a time warping ray out of his warhammer aimed at the serpentfolk.
"Ná til himins!"

Robin has also pointed out to me that Slow is multi-target. Good news is Ansel can see both targets and they are both within the 40ft range. So this should target both since it's not an area of effect but a creature/level.
TLDR:Disregard flavor text, both baddies need to make saves
Seeing his quarry escape, Agriver pivots and starts to follow while pulling out his platinum holy symbol and issuing forth a sudden burst of holy light.

"They're gone. Auras still linger but I can't make out exactly what they did, be it portals or gates or what-have-you. But they're not invisible that's for damn sure. What's in there?" he asks Robin in the end.
"Gates and portals? The only time I have heard of such thing is in reference to the infernal! Is there more at work here? This bloody sorcery makes me uncomfortable" exclaims Agriver.
"Robin did you get that door open?" says the paladin as he tries to wake the party rogue
Robin opens the next door as Ansel examines the alter and Agriver attempts to wake Vala...
Four stone pillars support the lofty ceiling of this chamber, each patterned like writhing serpents. Between two of the pillars is a large hammock. The room was once beautiful, but is befouled with piles of garbage, bones, and excrement in every corner.

Robin kills the fey easily before putting his arrow into the Ogrekin.

Ansel throws a fireball into the fray..

The blade opens what's left of the ogre from balls to brain.
Agriver grimaces at the shattered and splattered remains of the ogre. "He must have been held together by his sheer lack of honor... about that..."
Looking around he continues "Let's secure this floor, give it a once over and get back to Abernard - I will want to speak with Lady Chanel about this infestation."
With that the paladin pulls his wand of bless and tries his best to try to mitigate the alter - after realizing it is far above his ability to purify, he makes a note to ask the Phrasman's.
Vala slumbers away as the party mops up the weak guards of the stairs. they find two hammocks in the room the ogrekin clearly used to sleep in. The stairs tightly curl down into the darkness.
