Pau doesn't need th group to lay out any elaborate plans. He would see them brought to justice for slaying the innocents here.
Evarice shakes the Syrinx's hand, keeping it limp when she realizes the woman has no idea what she's doing. "Well met, and safe journeys."
After the leave, she smiles. "Truth be told, I would have given it to them no matter the price. I cannot put a price tag on someone's life."
---
At the masoleum, Evarice dashes towards the two caretakers, checking for any signs of life.
Heal:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
If they are alive, Evarice will channel healing energy into them. "Stay strong..."
Evarice frowns afterwards. "In all of my days as a warrior, I never understood the cause of war. What justifies killing unarmed civilians?" She shakes her head.
Perception:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Evarice keeps her bow ready as they enter the masoleum.

If Pau mentions that the caretakers are on death's door, Gailen will stop her advance, pull out her single scroll of cure light wounds, and cast it on one of them.

The thunder of hooves nearby captures your attention as Seelah of Katapesh, Paladin of Iomedae, rides by. A host of Pathfinders in her wake spread out in every direction combing the area for enemies, Pathfinders in need, and the wounded.
Seelah draws up her steed, pulling it around to face you.
She says "Blessings and well met, Pathfinders! You look as if you are heading into more trouble."
She tosses you lot a whistle, like the ones you've seen soldiers on the field of battle use to direct troops.
She then says "If you are ever in need of aid, blow the whistle and Pathfinders within earshot will come to your assistance."
With waiting for a response she turns her horse about and thunders back off into the fray without waiting for a response.
Overseer:
You now have an AID Token - GM please describe how to use the Aid Token - please use it and do not horde it ;b - And then pick a table to hand it off to (in character) when you report your next success after use - you can choose who does it, it does not have to be the GM - and then the GM should email me to let me know what table you passed it off to with a link to the handoff, when you report your next success - Thanks - Jesse[IronHelixx]

Apollyanna stops bandaging the stricken woman's foot once her obvious head wound begins to seal thanks to Evarice's pouring of good vibes into the air.

Pau nods at the others healing the caretakers. Once they were back on their feet, he followed Evarice's idea and moved to check the left doors first.
Evarice channels (+6), and the two caretakers look better, but still don't regain consciousness.
Gailen uses her scroll on one (+6).
The female caretaker's eyes open slightly. "Martin, my husband,..." she says weakly. "Is he... ?" Her voice trails off as she looks to the man to her left. "Can you save him?"
We have an aid token! See my post in the discussion thread for some details. ... It's actually a bit more complicated than that, because the effectiveness of the token depends on how well the "room" (all of the "Siege" tables together) is doing at clearing things out (right now, only passably well).
We have ONE aid token for the table. Anyone at the table can use it.
Please don't hoard it. After it's used, we can pass it to another table for them to use.

Gailen helps the woman stand. "I regret that I have no more healing available for your husband, but one of my allies likely does. Do you feel alright? Do you need food or water?"
The additional healing is enough to bring Martin, the other caretaker around. His wife weeps openly at your generosity.
Martin is a bit more pragmatic, as if having his life saved is the least important of the tasks in front of you. "They may still be inside. We only saw two but there are probably more. They didn't say what they wanted, they just attacked."

Pau's last post has a 17 Perception check at the doors, DM.
The doors fail to give up their secrets (if they ever had any).
The doors open up into a gruesome but necessary part of the Mausoleum. Local Pathfinders conduct autopsies in this room. It is equipped with steel tables, lab equipment (medical and alchemical), and barrels of wash water. The light here is dim from the windows along the wall facing the courtyard.

You can look around the several closets and curtained areas here searching for anything interesting (noisy and takes a long time) or continue advancing as a group through the building to find the Aspis agents (noisy but direct), or attempt either of those actions stealthily (which makes them slower).
These may not be the only options, but they seem the most obvious.

Pau is fine heading straight ahead. If the others want to follow his bravado approach more stealthily behind him, that's good with me, too.
A dull hum emanates from Skyreach as the ground trembles, trees sway, and glass shatters. A moment later, most of Skyreach’s northwest tower tears free from the keep; however, rather than crash to the ground, a visible aura holds the structure aloft and causes it to float above the Grand Lodge. Even the shower of stone blocks floats, swirling around the airborne tower in a nimbus of speeding debris.
GM Only Note:
GMs: You have until mid-day November 28th, 2015 to begin to wrap up ACT II. ACT III will begin the afternoon/evening of November 28th, 2015.
Evarice's ears prick up as she hears the rumble. "Intriguing. But, let's keep our eyes open for Aspis agents. Time is of the essence, and..." she glances at Apollyanna "Aren't very stealthy."
Well, everyone said they wanted to go ... no one said *where* they wanted to go. So I picked some place, and moved you.
Skeletons are cleaned in this workshop with the use of live beetles held in glass enclosures and kilns. This workroom also has the tools required to reassemble and study skeletal remains for study. The natural light here is dim. Low light.

Marching order looks great.
Pau leads the other through an orderly march, searching throughout the building. Lets look through A,b, and then c. Shouldn't take long to walk through the areas.

'A' was the courtyard where you found the caretakers. 'B' was the autopsy room. 'C' has the beetles.
Following Evarice's suggestion, you check the room to the north. 'D'
This dreary chamber is kept magically cold to safely preserve bodies from decay. The doors are covered with gray flagstones. The walls are lined with stone cubicles with iron doors and bronze nameplates. The room is dark, as only a minute amount of light enters from three tiny windows near the ceiling.
After a brief inspection, you find nothing out of place and return to the workshop. 'C'
You try the next door on the northern wall. 'E'
This room is used as a crematorium and for Pathfinder researchers to safely rid themselves of necromantic specimens upon completion of their experiments, although the incinerators have not been lit today. (It seems everyone had the day off, except the caretakers.) A single hooded lantern has been left on the floor and is still lit.
There is an exit at the far end of the incinerator room.

Pau nods and proceeds down the incerator room, heading toward the exit on the other end. At least the lantern is providing some light.
You move carefully through the incinerator room. Pau searches every nook carefully, but finds nothing of interest.
As you round the corner heading down the hall of the incinerator, the Aspis spring their trap. One steps out of the shadows and throws a dagger at a surprised Pau, while a second swings a short sword from the doorframe corner.
Dagger:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 Short sword:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15 Saved by the cover from the door frame!
The dagger was thrown too hastily, and misses. The other Aspis agent swears as his short sword bites into the door frame instead of Pau.
