Vladek is a tad buffaloed after Marta's abrupt charge.
"I suppose it is true what they say: Nobody expects the Inquisition!"
Now that their host has vanished, Vladek takes his inspection of the manor's layout to a deeper level...I cast detect secret doors.

Round #1: AC 26, DR 5/bludg, RE 30 (cold), blessing of fervor (1/12), copycat (3/12), prot from evil Fendahl (5/10) Myrdon (4/10)
“What do you want to bet they’re buffing? We need into the cooler ASAP, my friends.”
Luisila ✨casts blessing of fervor and moves towards the doorway of what she thinks is the cold room.
blessing of fervor affects every Pathfinder and animal companion EXCEPT Myrdon.
Luisila chooses to gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves this round
blessing of fervor choices:
• Increase its speed by 30 feet.
• Stand up as a swift action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
• Take one extra attack as part of a full attack action, using its highest base attack bonus.
• Gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.
• Cast a single spell of 2nd level or lower as if it were an enlarged, extended, silent, or still spell.
Throwing the door open, Marta reveals a strange sight. A sheet of ice covers the floor of this opulent bedchamber, various chunks of frozen debris litter the area, and the walls drip with layers of glittering rime. Soft, faint light through the frost-covered windows accentuates icicles dripping from a canopy bed. Your breath condenses before your eyes and hangs in the air momentarily before dissipating.
An ornate fireplace occupies the east wall, and burns with cold, blue fire. On the opposite wall, you can barely discern the shape of floor–to-ceiling bookshelves under the thick frost that has transformed the room into an ice cave. A desk and several salon couches lay overturned in the middle of the floor.
A giant insect-like creature made of ice reclines on the frozen bed, with a large hound to either side. Keel kneels before the creature, apparently begging.
The creature on the bed looks at you expectantly.
DC 23 Knowledge (planes):
The creature on the bed is an Ice Devil, known for their powerful melee attacks. For every 5 you beat the DC, you can ask for a category of information.
DC 19 Knowledge (planes):
The hounds are Cocytan Warhounds, a type of hellhound. For every 5 you beat the DC, you can ask for a category of information.

0.0...You'd think, with rolls like that, I could just learn the sucker's True Name and banish him for an epoch-and-thrice or something...waitCOULDIdothat?!???
Vladek Odradek, Scholar of the Gates Ajar, momentarily drops his jaw at what he sees...yet he does not blink (unless perhaps it has a gaze attack).
Oh. I just noticed I'm still technically on the stairs - if I can't have caught up in the meantime, then these rolls will be for when I get there, I guess.

Qadathra disappears from sight (per his greater invisibility SLA), then flutters up to see what the others are now gawking at...(maybe he could relay what he sees to Vladek?).
Vladek, roll Knowledge checks for Qadathra and I'll tell you want he knows. When Vladek gets there, I'll give you additional information based on your rolls above.
The two huge hounds stand and growl, but do not leave their master's side as of yet.
"Over here, team. There is an Ice devil and a couple of Cocytan Warhounds in here chatting it up with Keel..."
Rather than launch into an attack, as she probably would were they demons, and anxious to find out what is going on, Marta steps into the room and asks,
With soft commands. Myrdon guides Aegis to fly up the stairs while he flies along. Seeing combat not breaking out yet, he throws a magic spell of shielding on his animal companion then sends Aegis to fly to the opposite side of the corridor.
Myrdon: move, cast shield on Aegis. Aegis: double move
Marta: You said you moved in, but didn't actually move your token. Please do so. ;-) Also, you only rolled one knowledge check, you were meant to roll one for each.
Vladek: Qadathra doesn't recognize them, but as soon as you bring Vladek up to where he can see in, I'll give you what he knows, and allow Qadathra's check to assist.
I've shrunk the ground floor map and made the upper map bigger for convenience.
As Marta steps carefully into the room, Myrdon rides down the hallway to the far doors and opens them.
Marta:
You are aware that the hounds are immune to cold but vulnerable to fire. You don't have telepathy (that I know of) so telling the party would require saying it out loud.
I'll give Vladek a little longer to post his action before botting him.
|AC 18, T 18, FF 15|HP: 85/85|F+9, R+12, W+13 (+4 vs death,+2 vs gaz/poi/elc/chm/cmp,+1 vs Tran/fea/cnf/aci/cld/fir/glyph)|Init +7, Per +24|CMB +7 CMD 20 (+2 vs grp)|15/15 Fly 15/15 AoP 1/1 Lv 1/1 Spx 1/1 SoR 3/3 Bt 1/1 Wg
I didn't realize it was my turn again so soon.
Vladek catches up, then...before I take my action, I need to know: What do I see? What do I know? 4th query about ice devils from Qadathra's aid: Behavior/modus operandi (i.e. how do they GO ABOUT being Lawful Evil and serving Hell, and how should we expect it to react to reason/counter-bargaining/threats/etc?)
Vladek moves up and peers into the room, immediately recognizing the creatures within.
Going to spoiler this for Vladek, as the only way for him to share information is to say it out loud in front of them.
Vladek:
The Gelugon (Ice Devil) has DR overcome by good; is immune to fire, cold, and poison; resists acid; and has Spell resistance. It has no specific weaknesses. It has regeneration that is stopped by good aligned weapons or spells with the good descriptor. It has a fear aura that causes creatures within 10 feet to become panicked.
Spell like abilities:
fly (constant)
At will— cone of cold, ice storm , greater teleport (self plus 50 lbs. of objects only), persistent image, wall of ice
1/day— Summon (2 bone devils)
It is said that each ice devil bears within its chest a stolen, frozen mortal heart, which allows it to make decisions free of all emotion. Born on the icy layer of Cocytus, Hell’s seventh layer, most ice devils migrate to Caina, the eighth layer, where they plot world-damning machinations from courts of freezing steel. Although they are perhaps the most alien and monstrous in appearance of all devils, few breeds are accorded greater respect. You suspect that, while it might be open to negotiation, it would only be interested in arrangements that increase its power and control.
In combat, a gelugon prefers to let its minions engage foes in melee so that it can hang back and appraise the foe’s tactics, strengths, and weaknesses. The ice devil supports its minions with its spell-like abilities, always taking care to avoid impacting its minions in the area of effect of its spells—this not from any sense of camaraderie, only a cold and logical truth that its allies can survive longer in a fight if they are not exposed to friendly fire.

Cocytan Warhounds are a form of hellhound. They are fast (40' move) but do not fly. They are immune to cold but vulnerable to fire. They have a breath weapon that is a 30' cone of cold. They have strong fortitude and reflex, but weak will saves; they are very hearty and string, but are not sentient - they are highly intelligent animals.
After he reads that, Vladek can take a standard action, then it's my turn. If he wants to share what he knows, there is enough there that I will require doing so to take his action, and would be heard by the devil.

Not that I'm going to, but part of me is tempted to remark about how cyooot it sort of looks..."I Can Haz Cozmik Dominayshun?"
Would you allow Qadathra to telepathically relay that information (on his next action) without the devil being alerted?
Vladek catches up, then...works the delicate loom of reality to guide Marta's next few moments against this most perilous adversary.
Marta, I'm giving you today's 2 rounds of Fortune. Use them wisely.
Oh, yes: Qadathra and I will both be taking the '+2 bonuses' Fervor this round.
Would you allow Qadathra to telepathically relay that information (on his next action) without the devil being alerted?[/ooc]
To a single person per round, since it is a lot of information, and as far as I know Telepathy is creature-to-creature, not a broadcast.
Vladek prepares Marta for alternate realities as he studies the creatures in the room.
Keel continues to grovel at the devil's feet, while the devil continues watching you.

Her halo blazing in the dim light with an ioun stone orbiting in the halos track and her Aazimar eyes boring into 'Keel', she turns her attention to the fool, "It won't do any good Keel, or whoever you are.

Round #2: AC 26, DR 5/bludg, RE 30 (cold), blessing of fervor (2/12), copycat (4/12), prot from evil Fendahl (6/10) Myrdon (5/10)
“Does someone want to tell us what in Cheliax is going on?”
Luisila holds up her oil of bless weapon.
“Marta, do you want me to anoint your hands or other weapon to make them blessed? Otherwise, I’ll align Aegis’ beak and talons.”
Luisila waits to hear Marta’s reply and acts accordingly, moving if necessary.
As Qadathra uses his new wand and Luisila offers more magical assistance, Marta tries to stare down the cowering Keel.
The devil suddenly leans forward; at which Keel darts across the room. A blast of frigid air and snow covers the room!
A series of readied actions trigger. The devil begins use a SLA, which causes Keel to run away. Keel ends up hiding partially behind the sofa.
Thanks to cover from the door, Myrdon, Vladek, and Aegis are protected. Everyone else can roll a DC 20 Reflex Save for half damage, then apply any protection from cold you have active. Cone of Cold:13d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 2, 3, 4, 3, 5, 3, 1, 1, 4, 3, 2) = 38
The devil's readied action happened when Qadathra cast an offensive spell. I've moved everyone's initiative position around. Luisila may take her standard action now, then I'll move forward.

Forgetting the oily scheme, Luisila ❄shrugs❄ off the sleet storm and ✨casts roaming pit under the western-most hound.
DC 22 Reflex or fall into a 60’ deep pit – SR does not apply
She then steps 5’ out of the ice devil's line of sight.
Edit: Forgot to apply blessing of fervor reflex bonus, so Luisila takes no damage, GM Rinaldo

Problem: If that was a reaction to my action...I'm invisible, as per greater invisibility, and I don't see any reason a subtle spell like prayer would do anything to jeopardize that. How did the devil know? The spell-like abilities you mentioned don't include any invisibility-detection.
Reflex save, fervor, Improved Evasion:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21At any rate, a clean getaway!
Unless otherwise noted, the casting of a spell is always noticeable. Even wands require a command word to activate.
And it doesn't seem to have done him any good anyway. :-|
-----------------
Hound reflex:1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 1 = 21
Luisila creates a pit under one of the hounds, which nearly gets out of the way, but the magic of Qadathra's wand causes it to slip. Missed it by a prayer. falling damage:6d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 3, 3, 6) = 20
It howls from the bottom of the pit, while its counterpart goes to the other door and attacks Kirrah, ineffectively.
Yellow vs Kirrah:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (2) + 19 = 21

OK, the readied actions from the ice devil and Keel move them to just before Qadathra; Luisila posted after Qadathra, so positions have changed somewhat:

Since combat has started and there is no longer a reason to be concerned about such things, I'll allow that Vladek can call out what he knows.
Spoilered because it's a lot of text. Vladek rolled very well :-) :

Marta casts shield on herself and rushes over near to the devil.
"Great job, Vladek. I think you messed him up good."
I assume there is no difficult terrain in the room. In particular near the Ice Devil. I want to do a 5' step next to the Devil next round. I may need to use the blessing to move faster if it is a raised platform or something. Do I need to make an acrobatics roll or something to avoid falling?
Myrdon calls out to Aegis to go after Keel, who has either either betrayed the Society as well, or is someone else in disguise. Meanwhile, he starts muttering, summoning the power to summon help for their battle.
Marta, yes: now that you are stepping in, you realize that the coating of ice does make it difficult terrain. No Acrobatics check needed just to move, but any Acrobatics checks you do make are at +5 DC. No 5' step unless you fly or have something that lets you step in difficult terrain.
Looking at your route, that is 60' of movement, so it will require the move bonus from BoF.
Marta casts a defensive spell and moves in.
Myrdon sends Aegis after Keel while beginning a spell. The bird avoids the bizarre looking devil in favor of flying over the ice-blue hound.
AoO Bite:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (7) + 19 = 26
Aegis reaches its target and grabs him in its talons. Hit and grab successful.
Fendahl, good luck on the flight! You managed to just miss the Snowmageddon.

“Nobody’s injured, right?”
Luisila checks the companions she can see, thinking how best she can help. “Marta, do you have some kinda bless weapon judgement for your hands?”
Ok, normally I don't roll that well, and maybe 1-2 of those confirmed, so I want to see if the dog is still up before Kirrah goes...as she will move in if the dog is down.

“Yep, something good aligned.”
Marta wrote:
“Probably won't waste time on it unless it's hide is really thick.”
“Copy that. I will probably move in to back up you, Fendahl and Kirrah. So if you or Fendahl want the oil of bless weapon applied just holler.”
With a veritable flurry of swords, claws, and teeth, Fendahl and Kirrah take down the other warhound.
With a flick of his wrist, Keel suddenly has a dagger in his hand, and he does his best to defend against Aegis.

Marta, I just realized that you are now within 10' of the ice devil. Before I take his action, I need you to roll a Will save (vs fear aura) so I know whether he considers you a threat or not.
Seeing that Marta is unaffected by his aura, the demon attacks her with its spear.

“Stand down, Keel. Last mission our roc accidentally killed someone who should have known better.”
Luisila single moves 30’ behind Marta (60’ move equivalents with difficult terrain + bof) and gives the inquisitor a bit of luck.
EVERY d20 roll Marta makes on her turn, she may roll twice and take best. Lasts 1 round.
“Myrdon, I wonder if the dagger is Keel’s arcane bond? If Aegis sunders it we’ll find out.”

Qadathra flits invisibly into the room, and it occurs to that there's no way in Hell (pun intended) he's going to pass up an opportunity to do what he can do now, so he does it: Conjure a carpet of slippery suds beneath the the ice devil's feet!
