We should just leave her here. I'm sure someone will pick her up eventually, either to throw her in prison or to sell her in the markets. The elf says nonchalantly
Asking around the bottoms the groups learn the location of the temple. It was often referred to as a junk heap.
When the group finally makes its way to the old prison it is exactly as described, a trash heap. It may once have been a model of beautiful prison architecture, but its facade is faded and cracked, piles of windblown trash hug its walls in drifts, and what may have once been a manicured landscaping has since devolved into a tangled, swampy mess. A single path of cracked, wet bricks links the street to the entrance of the Temple, which appears to be a brand new, iron-braced wooden door. Above the door is a decayed carving of a human man on his knees, his arms raised toward a rising sun.

Ferabras considers the new, stout door in the entrance to this ruin of a building, then says, "I'm guessing there's some kind of surprise waiting for unwelcome visitors who come knocking at that door. I don't have the kind of devious mind needed to lay such a surprise. Tamisiel, seems like you'd be good at this sort of thing, you mind taking a look?"
If Ferabras is aware of the potential insult in what he's just said, he shows no sign of it.
"Hahaha! You picked the wrong opponent, door!" Miyako laughs maniacally, tears in her eyes. It's rather obvious she's trying to hide the fact that she's hurt herself.
Miyako: Owwww! Gramps... you told me it was a good idea!
Tamisiel feigns indignation, I resent your implications Ferabras. Besides it seems our young friend Miyako is desperate to prove she is almost capable to opening a door. When you are done alerting everyone to our presence child perhaps you will let someone else take a look?
Out of the way child I will open the door. Disable Device:1d20 + 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (9) + (2) + 4 = 15 Give me a moment, I'm not accustome to working in such decrepit conditions. Disable Device:1d20 + 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + (5) + 4 = 13 Stop Crowding me! I can't work with you lot breathing down my neck! Disable Device:1d20 + 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + (2) + 4 = 11 If you wanted a bloody thief you should have asked them to send a bloody thief this is type of work if beneath me! Disable Device:1d20 + 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (11) + (5) + 4 = 20
If that doesn't get it Tamisiel throws her hands in the air. If you want the door open so badly do it yourself!

”An, um, impressive effort, Miyako,” offers Ferabras, putting a clawed hand gently on the lunatic cleric’s arm and easing her out of the way. ”Thank you very much for trying to get that door open. Now, maybe Tamisiel has a different way she’d like to try. Right, Tamisiel?”
He tips his head at the door, giving Tamisiel a significant look, as if to say, Give it a shot, maybe you can get it open before the entire Shadow Lodge comes down on us.
Just a thought Tamisiel, you can just take a 20 on a lock and use only a single point of inspiration.
Tamisiel tinkers with the lock and eventually gets it open to reveal a small room that looks as though it were recently cleaned. Piles of broken furniture lay against the east wall and a single, nondescript desk sits in the middle of the room facing the door in the south wall. Another door, just as thick and sturdy, is opposite the main door on the north wall.
Five goblins stand ready and waiting for the Pathfinders and the goblin behind the desk looks to be casting some sort of spell.
We were in a rush, though taking 10 would have been a better bet with the rolls I was making. Not that it would have mattered much but I forgot my +1 from trap finding.
Tamisiel draws here short sword and points in the goblins. Stop whatever you think you are doing you miserable creature. Your are clearly out matched and I promise you that if you do not surrender now I will personally carve out your hearts and feed them to you!
Intimidate the spellcaster w/Shadow Whispers

Thats more like it.
Miyako moves up behind Tamisiel to see what's inside.
Spellcraft:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
"He wants to make us sleep!" Miyako yells, and moves as far away from the others as she can.
My Will save is very low, and if everyone else fails the check with me that'd be rather bad. So now the other 3 at least got someone who has a shot at waking them up, if necessary ;)
Will Ferabras:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 Will Bram:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Ferabras can not fight the urge of his heavy eyelids and curls up and falls asleep. I almost forgot that elves are immune so Tamisiel and Atilus are unaffected.
The goblin then rushes forward and sends a plume of flame out through the entrance.

Ferabras has Fire Resistance 5, so he takes no damage from the fire.
Ferabras eyes drop closed and he falls bonelessly to the ground, sound asleep until the goblin's flames rush over him. Though his devilish blood keeps the flames from burning him, Ferabras still feels the heat and stirs himself awake. "What a strange welcome..." he mutters as he gets to his feet.
He draws his greatsword over his shoulder and says, "I think you're going to regret that, little ones," while moving into the hallway.
Move action to stand up, move action to enter hallway. Won't move all the way in, so Bram can get an attack on the goblin.
When resistance completely negates the damage from an energy attack, the attack does not disrupt a spell. This resistance does not stack with the resistance that a spell might provide. Since you took no damage you are still asleep.

Okay, seems reasonable, I moved my token back. Looks like Miyako gets to use her Miyako Kick or otherwise put Plan Wake Up The Sleepy Paladin into effect.
Atilus shrugs off the sleep spell, but while being all smug about that he completely misses the fire attack.
AH! The fire!
Jumping around in pain, and near panic, Atlius bumps past Tamisiel, and stomps all over Ferabras, nearly tripping ... recovering and embarassed, Atilus brushes off the flames and looking at the now waking Ferabras, "What?! You're awake aren't you?!"
in short, move 10 feet and wake up Ferabras ... saves us a round of better damage dealing!

Stirred awake by Atilus' bumping, Ferabras climbs quickly to his feet, a bit embarrassed by having fallen asleep on the job. To make up for it, he moves quickly through the hallway and into the room where the goblins are, pulling his greatsword over his shoulder as he goes.
Move action to stand up, move action to get into room, drawing sword as part of move action.
With a solid swing from his greatsword Ferabras is able to take off the head of one goblin. He then bites down on the neck of another tearing a chunk of flesh away. The other two goblins laugh and squeal as the bleeding goblin clutches it's neck.
Tamisiel steps up and levels here blade at one of the laughing goblins and offers a retort in their nasty language. I wouldn't be laughing if I were you. You'll be next to taste the steel of our blades, you filthy rat! Intimidate with Shadow Whispers on red.
Demoralize:1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 12 + 2 = 30
Tamisiel stays were she is in the hall and turns her wrath on another Goblin, And You! You are going to die very very slowly, I'll make sure of it. Demoralize:1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 2 = 33
Don't want to end rage and be fatigued in fight. Obviously I thought we'd be done quicker than this. Still, I have only 1 round of rage left. Please have me attack the nearest viable enemy.
"Start making some room! A not-so-well placed fireball or lighting bolt would take us all out! And worse than that, I'm protecting your back side! Don't like it out here all alone!
Tamasiel will move into the room, dodging any remaining goblins, and move over to the door to listen and see if anyone is coming.
Acrobatics:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
@ Atilus Miss chance is for concellment not cover. Cover just gives the target a +4 to their AC.
IN Goblin:You! Stop! You have already lost this fight. You are going to die, just like all of your friends. Just give up. There is no hope for you. Just give up and die. Tamisiel says, her voice as cold as ice.
