They are just goblins! Finish them off already! Mumbles Tamisiel from the corner.

Ferabras slices through the goblin before him, then steps forward and bites at the air over the last goblin's head.

Sucking wind, Bram exits his rage and takes a step back to let others move in.

If Miyako steps forward Atilus will let loose with another acid ball ... else he will hold until there is an opening.
Ranged Touch in Melee: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 1 - 4 = 5
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2
"Sorry Miyako! Did that get in your hair! Get it out!"

"Eek!" Miyako scream as the acid nearly burns half her face and her sock earrings off. "My socks nearly died!"
Miyako steps forward so she can better reach the goblin. Her free hand catches on fire.
Touch of Flame (touch attack): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21 Fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
The goblin receives a fiery slap in its face.
"How dare you cheat on me!" Miyako yells at the goblin. "I trusted you!"
Miyako burns the last goblin crispy.
End of combat.

That was an interesting fight Tamisiel says, with a hint of mockery. Lets see what we have here.
Perception on the Door to the North:
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Nothing unusual and the thick door makes listening through it difficult. On the bright side it means it is unlikely that anyone heard the battle.
Tiefling Paladin 8 | HP 71 | AC 26 | T 12 | FF 25 | CMD 26 | Fort +13 | Ref +8 | Will +12 | Init +1 | Perc +3
"Is everyone all right?" Ferabras asks, looking around. "That little pack of goblins didn't seem to hurt us much, but it sure took us a while to put 'em down. Well, let's see what's beyond this door, shall we?"
Bloodied blade in one hand, he opens the door with the other.

Cool, what about a lock or trap?
Ferabras opens the northern door after Tamisiel is confident it is safe (no traps). This long hallway stretches 110 feet from east to west and is periodically broken up by thick, iron portcullises. Several sets of doors can be seen at even intervals along the north and south walls, and at the far east end the hallway appears to terminate in a room filled with large cages. The floor of the hallway was recently swept, but spiderwebs still cling to the ceilings.

Miyako searches the goblins for useful items before she hurries after the others.
Perception, goblins: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
She proceeds to a pair of double doors, and places her ear against it.
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
Miyako only finds the usual goblin stuff, short sword, leather armor and short bows. Listening at the door Miyako can hear nothing from the other side.
Edit: Miyako did find a potion on the first goblin they killed. The one casting all the spells.

Tamisiel will down her extract of Heightened Awareness and he listen at the door on the other side of the hall.
perception: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 7 + 2 = 26
It works better if you take the socks off your ears. Hisses the elf.
If she doesn't hear anything at the door she'll wait for the party to decide what direction they want to go.
It sounds like this door leads out doors. Perhaps a back exit or a courtyard. She isn't quite sure but there is some rustling like something moving through grass.

While she is at it she'll try to identify the potion off the goblin.
First with Alchemy:
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 2 = 13
Frustrated she hands it to Miyako, Why don't you do something useful and try to identify this.

Atilus reaches out, "Let me have a look."
Detect Magic: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25
"Look at the saturation of the blue, and the viscosity, almost like molasses ... see those specks ... clearly it's ..."
F Kitsune Oracle/7 (HP 52/52 | AC:22 [+1 Buckler; +1 vs Performance Weapons*] | T:15 [+1*] | FF:18 [+1 Buckler] | CMB:5 | CMD:19 | Fort:+4 | Ref:+7 | Will:+6 | Init:+4 | Perc:+5 | Speed:20) PFS#: 115025-6
"I have spells and a wand to heal myself. Someone who has trouble healing himself in combat should have it."
Miyako takes her crossbow and makes sure it's loaded. after the potion been handed to someone who can use it, Miyako throws the double doors open.
What was once an exercise yard for inmates is now a choked yard filled with dead grass, animal nests, and trash. The yard is open to the sky and at the north end the ruins of a gallows can be seen. In the northwest corner of the yard a small, rickety wooden platform leads up to a single, heavy door. A set of thick double doors can been seen in the south and
Miyako spots a large scorpion in the yard and nails it with a crossbow bolt.
Ferabras rushes it and swings his greatsword and misses as he stumbles in the dead grass.
Melee: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
The scorpion turns on Ferabras it's long tail poised to strike, but instead of a deadly stinger it only has an oozing stump. It lashes out at Ferabras with it's two claws.
Claw 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Claw 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Confirm: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9
One of the claws slams into Ferabras and the scorpion attempts to grab him. The teifling proves to be to quick and the claw catches nothing.
Grab: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16
Ferabras (-5)
Tamisiel
Bold is up.

Bram hurries forward to help, taking a double move to end up 2 squares north of Tamisiel.
Investigator 2, N, Female, Elf, Inspiration 9/day Skills: Alchemy +10, Disable Device +12, Intimidate +10, (History, Nobility, Planes, Religion) +9, (Arcane, Local)+10, Linguistics +9, Perception +12, Sense Motives +10, Spellcraft +10, UMD+10; Shadow Whispers: +2 to Demoralize
Tamisiel tips of her blade at the creature trying to catch the light to shine in the creatures eyes.
Demoralize: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 = 17
Tamisiel you take a -4 on your intimidate as the creature is larger then you. It does not gain the shaken condition this round.
Male Elf Wizard 1 - Necromancer | HP 7/10
Atilus will move in and release a crossbow bolt ...
Ranged: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 8
"Damn thing is broken!" , roars Atilus smacking the side of the bow.
Tiefling Paladin 8 | HP 71 | AC 26 | T 12 | FF 25 | CMD 26 | Fort +13 | Ref +8 | Will +12 | Init +1 | Perc +3
Even though I'm not in bold above, I should get to act before the scorpion does again, so I'll post now:
"Why would anyone keep one of these things?" Ferabras wonders. He swings again with his sword, but misses even more badly than the time before.
MWK Cold Iron Greatsword, PA: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 - 1 = 9
Greatsword damage, PA: 2d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (5, 5) + 6 + 3 = 19

Miyako moves up to Atilus, and reloads her crossbow. "Hi again! This is a lovely spot, isn't it?"
Male Elf Wizard 1 - Necromancer | HP 7/10
"Where did you get your crossbow? Mine is clearly inferior ..."
The scorpion seems to ignore Tamisiel's taunts and Atilus' bolt flies off into the tall grass. The scorpion continues it's attack on Ferabras.
Claw 1: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Claw 2: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
The first claw is completely off target and the second claw misses by a hair. Ferabras tries swings back and his greatsword just can't seem to find a weak point in the creatures carapace.
Ferabras (-5)
Tamisiel
Bold are up.

It is a lot harder to RP an intimidater than I expected...
BOW TO ME INFERIOR CREATURE! bellows the elf and she moves forward shortsword pointed at the creature.
Demoralize: 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 2 - 4 = 17

Bram moves in next to Ferabras and swipes at the beast with his axe.

No doubt! At least the bad guys aren't too terrible at this tier.
Male Elf Wizard 1 - Necromancer | HP 7/10
Throwing his crossbow to the ground in disgust Atilus throws a ball of acid.
Ranged Touch: 1d20 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 1 - 4 = -1
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2
Splattering all over his chest and arms Atilus swats the acid bits while jumping from foot to foot, "Ahhh! This stuff is horrible! Get it off! Gah!"
Small holes burn into his tunic ...
F Kitsune Oracle/7 (HP 52/52 | AC:22 [+1 Buckler; +1 vs Performance Weapons*] | T:15 [+1*] | FF:18 [+1 Buckler] | CMB:5 | CMD:19 | Fort:+4 | Ref:+7 | Will:+6 | Init:+4 | Perc:+5 | Speed:20) PFS#: 115025-6
Miyako smiles widely at Atilus, pointing at the 335gp price tag she never bothered to remove. "I bought mine at WallyMart!"
Bolt: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1
She releases another bolt at the scorpion, then reloads. "I'd rather have a longbow though, but I don't know how to use one. I kept this bow's receipt anyway, just in case."
Ferabras (-5)
Ferabras is up.
Male Elf Wizard 1 - Necromancer | HP 7/10
Atilus pauses, briefly looks at Miyako with a bewildered and horrified expression, then in a continued fit of panic continues flinging acid off whilst jumping around.
Tiefling Paladin 8 | HP 71 | AC 26 | T 12 | FF 25 | CMD 26 | Fort +13 | Ref +8 | Will +12 | Init +1 | Perc +3
Ferabras once again sends his mighty blade whistling through the air...
MWK Cold Iron Greatsword, PA: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (4) + 7 - 1 = 10
Greatsword damage, PA: 2d6 + 6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 + 3 = 15

Tamisiel covers her face with her free hand and starts shaking here head in disgust, muttering something about how they are all going to die.
Tamisiel's taunt seem to have an effect this time, causing the scorpion to skitter around nervously. Everyone else are not so lucky as their attacks completely miss or bounce of the aracnid's exoskeleton. Snapping it's claws the scorpion takes a few swipes at Ferabras.
Claw 1: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 5 - 2 = 18
Claw 2: 1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 - 2 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
As the second claw connect it tries to grab and squeeze the Tiefling.
Grab: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (4) + 10 - 2 = 12
Ferabras successfully slips out of the grasping pincer again.
Ferabras (@12)
Everyone is up.

Desperate for an advantage, Bram circles around to flank with Ferabras.
I'll accept the AOO. Please put me in the corner opposite Ferabras.

Bram circles around the scorpion dodging a claw in the process. The then lands a heavy blow to the creatures back with his hammer.

Kill the thing already. The elf says with a board tone as she pokes Ferabras in the back with Bran's Wand.

Ferabras swings again, fruitlessly. Perhaps adventuring is not the right way for me to redeem my infernal blood...

Miyako moves over to the scorpion, flames dancing at her heels. "Miyako kick!"
Touch of Flame: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 Fire damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Between Bram's hammer and Miyako's flaming kick the scorpion collapses.
End of comat!
There looks to be access to a guard tower to the north and a set of double doors to the east.

"Well, we did it. Why not check oot that tower over thar?"
Bram heads that way, waiting near the door.

"As long as there are no more scorpions," mutters Ferabras, kicking the downed beast and finally able to hit it.
He joins Bram in heading for the tower.

Atilus looks up and straightens his outfit hoping no one noticed his "contributions".

Shaking her head Tamisiel moves over to the double door and listens for noise on the other side before checking it for traps and locks.
Perception Listen: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 = 18
Perception Search: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 = 16
Bram and Ferabras open the door into what was once a guard room. Inside they find a pile of trash. From discarded parchment to half eaten food this room smells awful. There are also a few rats that poke their heads out or scurry off into a hole in the wall.
Tamisel can hear movement on the other side of the door and it appears to be free of traps.
