I'm assuming the 'ogrekin' is standing in the doorway.
"Sqawk!" Stunned by the creatures, speed and the wound to his shoulder, Ting recovers his senses and quickly studies the creature. Shifting his sword he slashes at the ogrekin, "Let's see's if'n' you's bloody well's liokes itn, wroight?" He steps back freeing the doorway so someone else could attack the thing.
Not sure the map is up to date but I should be able to full attack this round I believe.
Orovan is surprised by the crashing spears, but perhaps more surprised by the rain of arrows loosed by their own tengu archer. Yet even as he marvels, their other tengu friend is charged by some abomination from within the room. At very least, the thing is close enough to hit.
"Let's handle this the old-fashioned way!" Orovan calls as he swings his fists in heavy arcs.

Nodding his head in approval as Orovan knocks the ogrekin down, "Now 'at's 'ow you's put yer man down." Lulling his tongue in a tengu smile, "So' let's see if 'ese blokes 'ad anyt'ing worth picken up, wroight" He then toddles into the room, checking the bodies and then the room.
Outside of a couple axes and javelins on the ogrekin, there's nothing in here but piles of refuse. As you all enter the room a small creature appears in the corner of the room and with unnatural speed zips by everyone mumbling in a foreign language.
Aklo:
"#%$^ this. I ain't getting killed for them."
@Aroden: Your See Invisibility doesn't apply to this.

Hearing Orovan's question, ting turns and answers, "I's got's no bloody idea!" He gestures towards the door in the west with his sword, "But's lets take a looksee's behind tha door afore we's head back, wroight?"
He then goes over to the door and checks it for traps.
he will take 10 (21) on perception looking for traps, if he finds none he will attempt to open the door
Andirke seems to be talking to himself as the fey that was in the room is long gone. In about 2 seconds it zoomed between everyone through the secret door in the previous chamber and out of everyone's site.
It is four times faster than a human or tengu.
Ting takes a look at the barred door and doesn't find any traps or hear anything on the other side. The tengu lifts the heavy bar on the door and opens it revealing a staircase descending into the dark.
You have found the exit to the next floor of the dungeon. Congratulations, you have completed Level 7 of the Emerald Spire!
You all make your way back down the path to the lodge and report your findings to the Venture Captain. You have a nice hot meal and the next day head into Fort Inevitable to gear up.
After taking a couple days to make sure everyone is healed up and well rested you make your way back to the spire. You find your way back down to the set of stairs beyond the barred door and start down. . .
The stairs spiral downward only about 40 feet before opening up to a small chamber.
Across this small chamber from the ascending staircase, another staircase winds down into darkness. Off to one side is a calm pool of murky water with a pedestal in its center. Atop the pedestal, a golden serpent idol grasps an emerald in its fangs.

Seeing the Emerald tings eyes light up, "I's bloody well's loikes shiney's." He lulls his tongue in a tengu smile, "So's does you's blokes t'ink it's a magically trap er a physical one?" He slowly moves closer to the murky water looking at it carefully to see if he can find the trap.
Ting really likes gems, he will try and take the time to take 20 (32) on perception,

Andirke sighed as the others headed to see the gem. Watching their path, he scanned to make sure there was no threats.

Aroden casts a few spells as the group begins their explorations.
Mage Armor from his wand (now at 33),
See Invisibility (70 minutes), and
Resist Energy (Fire) (80 minutes, 20 pts).
Forgot about Detect Magic being cast (we'll go 1 round at a time). Aroden definitely detects magic in the room
Lucifer and Ting reach for the gem at the same time. Right before they touch it they disappear.
Lucifer and Ting:
Reaching for the gem, you are instantly teleported.
You snap out of the charmed effect and realize you are both in the corner of a 5' wide by 8' tall coridor.
The narrow corridor ahead has a strange serpentine pattern of green glass embedded in the floor. The pattern runs 40 feet to the end of the corridor before turning left to head out of sight.

Lucifer and Ting:
Tings eyes widened in surprise and disappointment, he puts a finger to his beak and quietly breaths, "Sshhhh" He nods up the hall, moving to one side getting as small as he can. His exotic bastard sword in hand, he begins to carefully move up the serpentine hallway, very slowly and quietly, keeping a keen eye out for anything.
Is there any natural light in the hall? if there is Ting will remove his Ion stone, So using both stealth and perception moving at one-quarter speed? perception:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14+ 3 for traps stealth:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

"Well, they could have been Plane Shifted to Hell, or cast into the void of the Dark Tapestry, so, no, I do not wish to follow until I learn a bit more."
Aroden continues to concentrate on Detect Magic.
Detect Magic wrote:
2nd round: Number of different magical auras and the power of the most potent aura.
3rd round: The strength and location of each aura. If the items or creatures bearing the auras are in line of sight, you can make Knowledge (arcana) skill checks to determine the school of magic involved in each. (Make one check per aura: DC 15 + spell level, or 15 + 1/2 caster level for a nonspell effect.) If the aura emanates from a magic item, you can attempt to identify its properties (see Spellcraft).
"I let Ting go first to keep Lucifer out of trouble, and they both get into trouble together." Orovan shakes his head. "Can you divine where they went? Or if this is a manner of illusion?" He asks Aroden, hoping the man has some magic that can help in this situation. In the meantime, he looks for traps or secret doors that might be employed in this chamber for some kind of trickery.

"Yes, perhaps it is an illusion and they were simply made invisible and silenced. If they were teleported elsewhere, the spell that could track them is beyond my power. So we'd have to find them the hard way."
@Aroden: There is just the aura from the idol. It is a Moderate Aura.
@Orovan: You don't see any other exit from this room other than the 2 staircases.
Lucifer and Ting:
Neither of you notice any traps. The room is illuminated (as was the entry room) by green glowing stones affixed to the ceiling. You both slowly make your way about halfway down the corridor.
"I think it's time we get out. Head for the stairs." Orovan orders, knowing Aroden may well choose another fate for himself. Nevertheless, Orovan himself takes his own advice and moves for the stairs leading down.

Lucifer and Ting:
Quickly putting his ion stone in his bandolier, ting proceeds quietly down the hall. Breathing through his beak instead of his shattered nostrils, he occasionally wipes the drool from it.
Thanks for the info on the light, Same spiel for ting, moving at one quarter speed using stealth and perception. have we found any doors yet? perception:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30 + 3 vs. traps
stealth:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

Lucifer and Ting:
Thanks for the map Gimble!
'That's a bloody trap.' As His eyes widen, Ting turns to Lucifer pointing a taloned finger at the emerald serpentine pattern, and whispers. "Traps." Then he places the finger to his beak. "Shhhhh" After pointing out the obvious to the highly skilled Wayang he turns and continues moving down the hallway as stealthily as his crow feet will let him, making sure to avoid the trap.
perception:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13+ 3 vs. traps stealth:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (14) + 13 = 27 So this is definitely the most Ting has used stealth at one time in the six levels he's been played. Glad he's sneaking down the hall with you Lucifer :)
If Andirke's arrow fails to destroy the gem, Aroden will cast Dispel Magic at it, spending an Arcane Reservoir point to boost the CL by 2.
Dispel, Potent Magic:1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 2 = 29 So if it is a magic item of CL18 or below, its abilities are suppressed for 1d4 ⇒ 2 rounds.
"Grab it and throw it in a Handy Haversack.."
If Andirke's arrow does destroy the gem, Aroden will examine the fragments with Detect Magic.

Lucifer and Ting:

Both of you notice that the serpentine pattern on the floor is some kind of conjuration trap that runs the entire length of the floor.
Leaning over to Lucifer, Ting points at the serpentine pattern on the floor and whispers. "Oi, Should we's remove tha blood trap's from tha bloody floor's?"
Tings got a + 24 on traps, so should be able to be done reasonably safely
Back in the entry room: Andirke pulls out his bow and lets loose an arrow at the gem. The arrow strikes the emerald square and the gem pops out of the mouth of the serpent idol, rolls off the edge of the stand, and falls into the water.
Aroden casts dispel magic and temporarily gives relief to everyone from the tug at their mind.
Lucifer and Ting:
Lucifer and Ting continue to stealth through the corridor. Lucifer gets to the corner and peers around. The corridor continues another 20 feet before turning to the left. Ting thinks he might be able to disable the trap if he can find the correct place to do so, though the trap looks pretty elaborate.

Lucifer and Ting:
Nodding his beak in agreement with Lucifer, ting toddles quietly along down the hallway with his quiet associate.
don't know if we need the stealth and perception, but will keep moving that way perception:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18+ 3 vs. traps stealth:1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
Orovan goes to fetch the emerald. "I don't have any magical bags. But I can take it out of here." In his mind he pictures the spire transport token and wonders how far it is to the spire itself.
"If I vanish, you may have to destroy the statue." He adds before reaching the water.

"I do." Andirke said, opening a side pouch on the haversack. Pulling out a hardly used belt pouch, the gem got shoveled into the pouch before getting placed back in the Handy Haversack.
