Could you add Heroism the buff list for both Sparky and Vermin? I believe my touch AC vs these guys will be 17 including the mage armor.
Wearing his Ghost Touch amulet of mighty fists Megaraptor Vermin pounces on Orange. All his damage is augmented by his Deliquescent Gloves, which adds an additional 1d6 acid. This is included in the damage total but I do not know if acid hurts these creatures.

Planar Wild Shape:
Benefit: When you use wild shape to take the form of an animal, you can expend an additional daily use of your wild shape class feature to add the celestial template or fiendish template to your animal form. (Good druids must use the celestial template, while evil druids must use the fiendish template.) If your form has the celestial template and you score a critical threat against an evil creature while using your form’s natural weapons, you gain a +2 bonus on the attack roll to confirm the critical hit. The same bonus applies if your form has the fiendish template and you score a critical threat against a good creature.
Celestial Template
Senses The creature gains darkvision 60 ft.
Defensive Abilities The creature gains damage reduction and energy resistance as noted on Table: Celestial Creature Defense.
SR The creature gains spell resistance equal to its new CR +5
Special Attacks The creature may smite evil 1/day as a swift action (it adds its Cha bonus to attack rolls, and a damage bonus equal to its HD against evil foes; smite persists until the target is dead or the celestial creature rests).

Lissa watches as the coral construct falls, followed swiftly by one of the specters. Seeing the remaining specter rapidly get surrounded, she skates on an flume of mist to the wall, and shoots out a tendril of water at it, knowing that she isn't going to do a huge amount of damage, but every little bit helps.
Fahd joins the fight and Lissa's watery whip strikes again. A third incorporeal slides out of the ceiling and lashes out at Vermin, filling him with unholy energy. Negative energy, if it matters

Not sure how to read Galyth's position. He has the yellow marks around him. Is he surrounded by hounds or something? Are they preventing his movement at all?
Also the golem isn't currently threatening and the ghost has 5' reach as far as we've seen, right?

Note that Spark wears an amulet of Mighty Fists +1 so his attacks are magical. Frostbite triggers on each hit but even if cold will hurt the undead it is non-lethal damage so I suspect it has no effect.

Handle Animal:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
Sparky has two tricks in Attack. The second is "Attack Any Target". I am not sure handle animal is required.
Attack Trick:
Attack (DC 20) The animal attacks apparent enemies. You may point to a particular creature that you wish the animal to attack, and it will comply if able. Normally, an animal will attack only humanoids, monstrous humanoids, giants, or other animals. Teaching an animal to attack all creatures (including such unnatural creatures as undead and aberrations) counts as two tricks.

Not sure how high the ceiling is. If Galyth can get behind the ghost for a flank without provoking he'll do so. If not, he'll move around to position better for next turn.
@Vermin Normally, the Handle Animal DC for attack any target is 10 (12 if injured) so people auto-make it, this creature has a special ability that makes it much higher.
@Galyth I put the creature's height above the ground in the description. The ceiling is just above them. So ceiling=30 feet.

OK. I have no idea what these things are. Did I make the Handle Animal check?

I doubt I could reach the area Galyth wants to get to then. Double move to be ready to attack next turn. I'm not in a good spot to move his mini right now but will get it later.
I tried to list everyone at the heights they should be now to help with the 3D combat.
Gaylth repositions, avoiding the creature's reach. Victoria sprays the new arrival with force missiles. Sparky rises, but hesitates before getting too close.
The hounds follow Gaylth but to no avail. The spirit tries as well but cannot target the slippery rogue.
Lissa skids forward a step before taping her boots together, as she begins to blur a little from a sudden increase in speed. In the moment of alacrity, she launches out a trio of watery lashes at the closer of the two specters.

Concerned that his animal friend might not be ok Vermin encourages it to help again before he bites and claws at the strange undead.
Setare is able to get a few punches in while Vermin decimates the other. Fahd and Lissa are able to handle the final one and the pesky hounds quickly fade away. Only the sounds of random water drips remain in the vast chamber.
A bracelet of coral beads is stuck to the jagged outcroppings on the golem’s body. The waters surrounding the creature also contain a pair of bracers made from the woven skin of some undersea beast.
DC 18 Spellcraft in conjunction with Detect Magic on the bracers:
These are a set of longarm bracers.

I know little of the workings of magic, but these trinkets are likely valuable and useful as well. Vermin pronounces after a moment of study. Can someone more schooled in such matters take a look at them?
The door provides little trouble and you enter the next room, which looks quite similar in construction to the initial entry chamber. Three doors exit, none look particularly remarkable, although the room does smell of burnt cinnamon.
Something about the room's dimensions seems to wobble and adjust as you open the door. Inside... stone tables, workbenches, and shelves furnish the room, many of them crowded with ancient alchemy equipment and empty containers. Most of the alchemical equipment has degraded to uselessness. However, the room still contains enough odds and ends to cobble together a functional alchemist’s lab.
As you pause to enter, there is the sound of a large crash beyond the door to the north.

Fahd follows Setare through the room to the sound of the crash. Figuring this was as good a time as any, he pulled the cork and chugged his mutagen. He immediately rippled and after about three seconds, Fahd was much thicker and stronger looking than before.

Before leaving the water room Vermin asks Anyone gonna ID either the bracelet or bracers? I am not wearing any thing on my wrists and am gonna put on one of these. Anyone care which?
Despite the startling sound, the room to the north is more or less empty as well, only containing more alchemical supplies.
------------------------------
Turning your attention to the door to the east, Gaylth checks the door before opening it. The door pulses as if it breathes for a moment, so the rogue redoubles his efforts. After a few more checks, he deems it safe enough to open.
This chamber beyond is sculpted to resemble a spacious captain’s cabin. The walls, floor, and ceiling are covered with rich but weathered mahogany panels and a large bed covered with dusty silk sheets and fine linens dominates the middle of the far wall. Five worm‑eaten tapestries hang from the walls, each depicting a sailing ship adrift in stormy seas under attack from an assortment of ferocious sea monsters. A desk cluttered with stacks of moldy books and crumbling scrolls sits against the south wall. Mounted to the wall above the desk is a grotesque leather mask resembling an eyeless human face with a scraggly beard. New picture!

"Might as well search the place out," Galyth says as he enters the room. The tapestry was creepy, but hopefully one of his companions would be able to figure it out.
Perception:1d20 + 27 ⇒ (14) + 27 = 41
Galyth's Perception Modifiers:
* +2 to find hidden objects such as traps, treasure & secret doors while adventuring in the Gloomspires
* +5 vs traps (which probably stacks with the Gloomspires bonus above)
* +3 vs surprise
* +1 DC / 30' instead of +1 DC / 10'
* remain alert to sounds & take half penalties for sleeping (possibly not relevant)
* +5 to notice or locate invisible creatures or objects
The silk sheets and linens on Sevenfingers’s bed are caked in dust but still worth some gold if properly laundered.
The desk is cluttered with handwritten notes, old scrolls, and a dozen mold-covered books. As Gaylth fingers through them a bit, the leathery "face" on the wall loudly wheeze-coughs then speaks up in in Shackles-accented Common.
“Ahoy, villains! Tho' mine eyes are long gone, I can still tell when I’m 'n the company of rascals 'n thieves! What brings ya wretched scalawags to Sevenfingers’s tomb? And have you brought ol' Thael Shivers a nip of grog ta share?”

”Sorry mate...I don’t carry alcohol while I’m on a mission. The reason is usually I drank all of it, made a rude comment, and got yelled at. Proven to be better for me to only drink on downtime, you see.”
“Why, I am Thael Shivers, mates! An' yea, back in the day, Sevenfingers and I was heated rivals. He won, I reckon'."
The face animates a playful frown.

You realize that a wealthy sage or collector of esoterica would pay 500 gp for the entire collection of scrolls and books on the desk. The scrolls and books have a combined weight of 20 pounds.

Thael's eye sockets widen. "Ah, you know 'is heart, do ya. Well good luck findin' 'im. Sevenfingers 'as gone to Leng. Been gone for months now, I reckon. He seeks tha Mines of Baol-Kataar. That’s where he hopes ta find some magical rubies.”

Setare looks confused.
"Ehh ... rubies? Leng? I .. I know that there a.. are smarter people here bu... but maybe you can te.. tell us more about what his plans are and what we should to find hi... him?!" she asks.
“Nothing good, I can tell you that! If'n he gathers enough of dem rubies, he can build an engine that’ll give his ship the power ta sail between tha planes and to other worlds. His first stop will be here to reclaim his prized possession, the Voracious. Then he’ll feed its engine tha right rubies and pay tha Shackles a little visit. Yes, Old Sevenfingers has big plans for tha Shackles, he does. And big plans for tha rest of Golarion!”
"Arr. If I knew that, I wouldn't be hanging on this wall 'ere. I know Sevenfingers has a special ruby ring that his friends in Leng gave 'im. He uses it to jump between 'ere and Leng. Maybe you can find somethin' from the notes ya keep snoopin' through there or maybe there is somethin' in his treasury hidden behind the tapestry on the north wall there. Knock seven times if you're wantin' in." Thael exhales.
Spending an hour with the notes and a DC 32 Knowledge (arcana), Linguistics, or Spellcraft check:
After researching the notes, you realize that they support Thael's words - Sevenfingers is currently obsessed with obtaining magical rubies from a location in Leng called the Mines of Baol-Kataar. According to his notes, Sevenfingers believes that these rubies have the ability focus to planar travel and send casters of such magics across the planes or to other worlds. Sevenfingers’s notes also detail his plan to build a fleet of pirate ships (his “Nightmare Armada”) outfitted with arcane engines powered by these magical gemstones. He claims to have enough rubies to send several ships to the Material Plane, and to be nearing a large enough collection of rubies connected to the Maelstrom to reach that plane as well.
