Irorium Layout (Exits and Seating) Please note, the map is representative, and not an actual layout of the Irorium!
The Irorium has five public entrances, the main gate and four side gates. A sixth gate to the south is a work entrance reserved for gladiators, arena workers, and other performers.
Main Gate: The main gates face north. On the mezzanine level, a 20-foot-wide stone arch opens onto an equally wide marble stairwell that descends out onto the street. The stairwell corridor is 300 feet long. At street level, the corridor can be barricaded with a pair of barred iron gates.
Side Gates: There are four side exits, all connected to the mezzanine level. Each exit leads through a 20-footwide stone arch that opens to an equally wide marble stairwell, which in turn descends out onto the street. On the mezzanine level, the stairwell corridor is 300 feet long. The upper level stairwells are 500 feet long. At the street level, the corridor can be barricaded with a pair of barred iron gates.
Service Exit: The service exit is located on the arena floor, just behind the makeshift stage. Only Irorium workers and performers are permitted to use it; anyone attempting to pass through the doors without permits is denied. All would-be trespassers are sent off by a platoon of surly guards. Beyond the entrance, a main passage connects to side chambers used by gladiators and arena workers. All creatures, gladiators, workers, and others involved with events use this route to gain access to the arena floor.
SeatsThe Irorium has four seating levels. To avoid undue attention, the Society has provided you with mezzanine level seats. Those with mezzanine seats are permitted to sit anywhere in mezzanine or the three levels above. There are no specific assigned seats; seating is general and all seating consists of stone or wooden bleachers.

Move Action
Alvin takes out his Wand of Magic Missile.
Standard Action
He uses it. Targeting Red. Magic Missile Wand:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
It should be a move action to hand over the wand really, but for a level 1 wand, I don't think I'm gong to fuss. I can see a group standing in a row shooting magic missiles and passing the wand to the next person claiming they can each get an attack off otherwise! That wand would run hot my the end of the round.
Two magical missiles slam in the red goblin. It snarls, but doesn't drop.
The dog continues to try and attack the armoured form of Sir Godfrey
attack:1d20 ⇒ 17
And almost breaks a tooth on his armor.
Status, all: message (70min) haste - 7 rounds
Godfrey
(Shadow of Sarenrae)
Thorn (barkskin ~50 minutes)
Lem (nine rounds inspire used) 5 damage
Ragnar (longstrider) 5 damage,
(Hugsy) (longstrider, mage armor,); 5 damage,
Kyra two channels used, 12 damage, will DC 18 to reduce to 6 damage
-- end round 2--
Goblin-red 8 damage
Alvin (mage armor )
(Riddywipple) (false life, mage armor, greater invisiblity(2 rounds) ) 5 temporary hp lost.
Dog
Constricts on the second bite since the first one missed.
Hugsy begins to swallow the dog whole.
Ragnar
Ragnar double moves to and partly over the barrier to check on the status of the lady. He should be at the top of the barrier assuming he makes his climb check.
Hugsy chows down on the nearby dog. It is disgusting. Ragnar can tell the snake doesn't like the taste.
Fort save for Hugsy
Meanwhile, Ragnar himself is running into problem. As he crosses the barricade, it collapses under him.
damage:5d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 5, 3, 5) = 22 Ref DC 20 to avoid
As Hugsy decides to eat the dog, Godfrey sets his sights on the only other goblin he can see, barreling towards it with gusto. If the pile low debris he ends up on is high enough he must climb, he'll do so, but with his hasted speed it's doubtful it will stop him from reaching the goblin, swinging at it with his blade to try to end this battle.
Move at 60ft from haste to Red Goblin, climbing if necessary. Standard to stab it

Delays where it is, hovering out the barricade and staring down at the yellow goblin that oddly fell over with weird, arrow-like trees growing out of it.

"Sir Godfrey what are your thoughts on Goblins running free in the city?"
I move next to the lady while pulling my wand of Cure Light Wounds. If I'm not sure she is dead I tap her with it.
Godfrey, sadly, doesn't speak goblin. But he knows enough to recognize a foe attempting to back away. So he opts to be a bit nice as he charges the EVIL creature, opting to swing with the flat of his blade to disable it. "Not fond of it, I'm afraid. They tend to be villains."
Charge the goblin as a full round, attempting non-lethal damage.

Make it on a one.
Follower of Groetus huh? For those that don't know, he's the god of the end times and resetting of the universe.

She may not actually be evil, as Groetus isn't really evil. Mad, yes, but not evil.
Having dealt with the villainous goblin, Sir Godfrey cleans his blade and turns to the woman at the mention of potential evil. "I shall check her for vileness!!" The paladin proceeds to give the woman a hard stare.

Hey, Riddy. Wanna give me a hit while we wait for the other Pathfinders to catch up?
Normally that would be inspire competence, and Lem gives +3. Technically that is only on skill checks rather than ability checks, but I'm happy to be generous in this situation.
Is Ragnar also pushing?
Also this is a cooperative act, working with other tables, so between Lem and Hugsy that would be a +5 assist on a STR check to open the doors. Other folk might want to contribute in other ways of course.

I don't know how big the gate is but I'm sure that there are many Pathfinders stronger then myself. I would be better served as a lookout.
In case this takes multiple rounds I'll give Hugsy multiple push rolls. I don't know if it can be tried as both a move and a standard or just a standard but I'll put up 10 and use them in order.
I think we do it just one round at a time at the moment. It is a little unclear about exactly how this works between tables, but the STR check option is a very high DC That will need multiple tables to cooperate for!

Here's what I got to help with that:
Riddywipple could fly around and Grease the gate in an opportune spot to get it moving. Alvin could try to assist.
Godfrey watches everyone struggling at the gait and considers just how much this might make him sweat, and apparently cause a popped back. He's no engineer, but he ponders for a moment before simply trying to climb up the wall.
He's oddly nimble for a man in full plate and tries to find purchases that will let him dig his fat, plated fingers and toes into them as he goes.
If he manages to reach the top he'll take the opportunity to pose annoyingly with his fists on his hips before pulling out his ropes to begin lowering them down to start lifting pathfinder's over.
"Worry not, friends. My strength shall aid everyone past this barrier!"

Is it possible for Thorn to work on the lock while his friends push?
1d20 ⇒ 15
If He can work the lock: The rogue runs up to hte gates. From his gear he pulls out picks and begins setting to work on the delicate task. The chaos and panic around him is like a buzzing insect. No one affects the rogue's concentration. Open Lock Roll = 34
If there is only the push option: The rogue moves to find a place that works best. His muscles are small, but wirey. He finds a sweet spots and gives it his go: Roll = 16
To be fair, I figured he would do the pick locks option. There are likely to be others also trying that.
@Sir Geoffry, it would be three rounds for you to climb with longstrider, or four without. We are being a bit vague about rounds here so no biggie there.

On reflection Ragnar realizes that a few dozen Pathfinders would be tough to sneak up on. So after determining if there are any unattended quivers he helps push open the door.
Strength Check:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16 or take 10 if that is an option.
One group of more mechanically minded pathfinders move to the locking mechanism and start tinkering with it aided by a liberal application of grease, a number of ropes are thrown to the top and people begin clambering up the walls. In another location, another group try brute force and trying to smash their way through. A stone bridge appears out of nowhere, then the flap of wings as a giant roc arrives to pluck people up and drop them on the far side - allowing them to form a defensive perimeter….
Within a minute, the outer gates give way to the small army of ninety highly motivated Pathfinders and their sheer brute force, magic, and mechanical knowledge.
