Send someone over to that place he says and send in a cornor as well to identify his death, until then the paintings won't be revealed, but none may leave this building expect for who I send over there in case there is questioning
Assuming you all agree with his plan, exactly 1 hour passes between now and the destroying the paintings. Unless you have a different plan and 1 hour waiting time is too much for you and you are in a hurry to get to were you need to go.
"Yes, see for yourself. We can wait."
While waiting Shar begins to discreetly examine the painting with Detect Magic.
If the painting secrets are not revealed sufficiently with the first casting of Detect Magic he will cast it again
If still not satisfied he will cast Identify
Range is 60 ft for both spells so he can examine the painting from a distance to prevent the owner from objecting to this examination.
Kaydanna will also spend time Detecting magic and evil alongside Shar to speed it up.
"I advise you to listen to us and heed our warning. Nothing good will come of this."
As you all wait an hour, they are about to burn the painting as a report comes back.
Then an invisible stalker takes the painting and fires his crossbow at one of you
Kaydanna, beat a 30 and it is vs your regular not ff ac as you would have noticed him. but the bolt bounces off of her armor

Yep and he is down and out and the painting breaks and the curse is destroyed. But Darius Finch notices someone is missing and he is trapped on another painting on a wall? Do you wish to go through it?
"Well. That was quick. Well done, Sharathiel."
Ingrid will check the body, and then look at the painting that Darious points at. "Missing? Who is missing?"
Semar looks around the room for the missing person, then to the accused painting.
Semar uses gallant inspiration

Thanks Ingrid
Kaydanna rushes to a combative stance but the lithe and agile magus beats her to the strike and dispatches the foe in a swift manner. Kaydanna pats the magus on the back after her shock of his attack wears off.
"Good deed cousin" She then goes to inspect the paiting using her detect evil ability.
smiling at Kaydanna It helps that I'm not weighed down by any armor. I don't know how you walk around in that all day.
okay, so you all go through a painting, it has plenty of worms and soul devils and chain devils. You are looking for Endrik Archerus who is suppose to be in this painting.

Devils are up, one will use a unnerving gaze, you must make a will save dc 15 or be shaken for 1d3 rounds
the other 3 will move up and attack.
vs Kaydanna
vs zat
vs semar
anyone hit will take blunt dmg.
Sharathiel, Ingrid, Zat and Semar are up
"Oh. Well, then. This does not seem to be a happy place."
Ingrid is not shaken.
Ingrid goes into her focused rage draws back her twin bows and takes aim at the devil directly to her north-east, and makes him her focused target as well. She also grants her teamwork feat Target of Opportunity to all her allies while she is raging, which will let her use an immediate action to shoot the next creature hit by one of her allies.
Semar will take a 5 foot step, quickdraw his dagger, activate archaeologist's luck, and full attack the devil in front of him.

Despite his past experience fighting foul creatures of the Lower Planes such as these, Shar nevertheless finds himself disturbed by the foul creatures countenance.
Gathering himself he casts Haste on his friends to help them combat these abominations
The soul harvesters will delay for this round, Kaydanna is up
Steeling her nerves Kaydanna strides up to the closest devil and unleashes her fury on him...

69 or higher does something
The soul Harvesters will double move and that is all they can do.
And the heroes easily down 2 devils and altough the worm magic is strong, they do nothing.
Round 2 start
The chain devils will attack Semar and Zat with a full attack, 4 attacks each
Semar, these top 4 are at you, let me know which ones are countered

this is the dmg of one hit, multiply this out by the number of times you were hit. Which would be 40 dmg if you were hit all 4 times. Soul Harvesters will not delay this time

At 1st level, a magus learns to cast spells and wield his weapons at the same time. This functions much like two-weapon fighting, but the off-hand weapon is a spell that is being cast. To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components), while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand. As a full-round action, he can make all of his attacks with his melee weapon at a –2 penalty and can also cast any spell from the magus spell list with a casting time of 1 standard action (any attack roll made as part of this spell also takes this penalty). If he casts this spell defensively, he can decide to take an additional penalty on his attack rolls, up to his Intelligence bonus, and add the same amount as a circumstance bonus on his concentration check. If the check fails, the spell is wasted, but the attacks still take the penalty. A magus can choose to cast the spell first or make the weapon attacks first, but if he has more than one attack, he cannot cast the spell between weapon attacks.
Spellstrike (Su)
[See FAQ]
At 2nd level, whenever a magus casts a spell with a range of “touch” from the magus spell list, he can deliver the spell through any weapon he is wielding as part of a melee attack. Instead of the free melee touch attack normally allowed to deliver the spell, a magus can make one free melee attack with his weapon (at his highest base attack bonus) as part of casting this spell. If successful, this melee attack deals its normal damage as well as the effects of the spell. If the magus makes this attack in concert with spell combat, this melee attack takes all the penalties accrued by spell combat melee attacks. This attack uses the weapon’s critical range (20, 19–20, or 18–20 and modified by the keen weapon property or similar effects), but the spell effect only deals ×2 damage on a successful critical hit, while the weapon damage uses its own critical modifier.

Semar will take a step and full attack the devil.

With one last fell abomination left attacking Zee, Shar casts True Strike, closes to within striking distance and trips the creature with his black katana.

"Are we destroying the worms as well?"
"let sleeping worms lie, but if they move they die. Any sign of our wayward traveler? "
-Posted with Wayfinder
"It might be a good idea, but don't let them get near you."
Semar will activate arcane strike and throw his returning dagger at the last devil.
He will quickdraw another dagger and throw it.
He will quickdraw another dagger and throw it.
The returning dagger flies back to his hand.
all the creatures are dead, but the worms are evil and will corrupt the painting so I assume you slaugther them too as they do not fight back.
after that is over, Endrik Archerus comes out of hiding. Each transforms from snake form back into himself.
However the painting was evil to begin with, so it gets destroyed and everyone is forced out of the painting.
He thanks you and a note is on the ground.
"It is said that the souls of thieves and liars are damned to an eternity of torment in Hell.
So then, Master Archerus, gaze upon this portrait, a gift to you, and ponder who damned soul you see.
Ah, and lest I forget: your compatriot, you should know, will join you soon. The Sting of his duplicity gnaws at him, you can be sure."
More painting Endrick said, you must destroy the evil paintings. And put a stop to whoever is behind this. Would you follow me, so I can show you where they are and be kind enough to help us with this problem?
"Prep what you need, heal up if you took damage and let us continue."
Following Kaydanna and Zee
Semar snaps his fingers and dismisses his disguise.
"I guess there is no sense in pretending to be a harmless noble after that fight."
He moves up to to Endrick.
"Happy to help, lets see what you've got here."
Okay, so you all arrive at the Gauthfallow Manor.
The manor resemsbles a small keep, with a 10-foot-high stone wall surrounding the property, broken only by a tall gate at the front, facing Sandalwood Lane. The surrounding walls are 5 feet thick and topped by short spikes. The gate is 10 feet high, 2 inches thick and is locked.
You need to get into that place, what will you do?
UMD =10 +2 for having successfully used my CLW wand before

Shar pulls out his own CLW wand and cures himself
Thanks Zee, I'm good
Shar takes a moment to activate his one of his Pearls of Power regaining the Intensified Shocking Grasp he had previously cast.
Endrik.. How do you know this is where the paintings came from? We will not be used to settle petty scores between Nobles.
"I agree with Sharathiel. Proof of where these paintings came from would be warranted, in this case." Ingrid crosses both sets of arms, looking firmly at Endrik.
