"No wounds to speak of, though the spore have bereft me of my health." A hacking cough interrupts Jhalan's remark. "Can you do anything to help me, Bones?"
However, you don't seem to have a lesser restoration in store, so don't worry about it.
Once the question has been dealt with, Jhalan suggests to open the westernmost door. I took the liberty of moving everyone in front of it to open it.
Oh, cr*p. I forgot to hide that part. You said 'westernmost', not 'northwestern'. Anyway, I suppose that room would have been your next choice anyway, so I'll keep it revealed.
Fa'zakar searches the barracks, but finds nothing of value, while Jhalan moves onto the next room.
The walls of the circular room are covered in painted scenes of fear and torment. The stone ceiling rises in a craggy dome that is haphazardly carved with disembodied eyes, talons, fangs, and other monstrous features.
In the center of the room, rusty brown stains run down from a circular dais, which holds a stained marble bowl and a collection of rusty daggers. A jagged black rune covers up most of thefloor. Tattered and moldy bedrolls are pushed into the corners of the room.
DC 15 K(planes/religion):
That huge rune on the floor is the symbol of Lamashtu, goddess of madness, monsters, and nightmares.
Bones points to the rune on the floor, "Don't step on that unless you mother has a strong back. Also, it's the symbol of Lamashtu, goddess of madness, monsters, and nightmares."
Fa'zakar notices an aura of enchantment magic in the room, and as soon as he steps in, the holy symbol in his satchel starts to vibrate, and a vision of Fa'zakar's worst nightmare appears in front of his eyes.
Feel free to describe his worst nightmare. I also need a will save

Fa'zakar's eyes open wide in shock, his face slowly registering horror at something only he can see.
In this vision, Fa’zakar is back as a caravan master’s son. One night, while his family camped at the edge of the mysterious Lurkwood, young Fa’zakar wandered out of sight of his people’s cooking fires. There he found a great white tree, its ancient roots twisted around a ring of runecarved stone. As he investigated, the tree’s bark fell away, revealing elaborate symbols and images that related a brief tale—that of his own short life. It took a moment, but Fa'zakar realized the runes told of his torture and death that very night.
By the time he had read the final rune, the tree's roots had secured his feet at his ankles, and the branches had pinned his arms tightly to his sides. Then everything started to constrict, while small insects emerged from the tree and began to eat the flesh off of him bit by bit, each bite also injecting a burning venom that felt like he was being dipped in molted iron...
But he shakes his head and his eyes clear, knowing this to only be a figment of his past, a haunting of something that might have been but was not true.
The corridor in the south wall takes a turn, and then shows an opening in its south wall. A wide, open chamber smells of rotten flesh and harsh chemicals. A curved workbench with dozens of drawers sits against the southern wall of this room, its surface covered with surgical tools, body parts, and alchemical items. On the workbench, a hairless six-legged rat the size of a housecat floats in a vat of blue liquid. The creature’s body is covered in surgical wounds that have been carefully sutured shut.
A creature - a short statured humanoid that seems to draw long shadows on the wall - stand poised over a workbench. Another weasel-like creature - this one not infested by any kind of fungus - hisses as it spots Takahiro.

The sorcerer feels the burning in his blood, and yearns to release it upon his foes! He stretches out his hand again, causing another searing beam of fire to shoot at the weasels! (red)

Running over it might be tricky since we can't have a running headstart, hence it doubles the DC from 10 to 20. Another problem is that if only one person makes it across, he might get swarmed by the enemy. That's why I opted to thin their ranks before attempting a jump.
Unable to help more in the battle, Bones suggest "Maybe there is another way into the room, there is the other door back in the previous room to the south east."
The dwarf will go guard the door to make sure Yekai doesn't escape that way.
Takahiro bides his time, as Boram gets a bomb ready. Bones moves to guard the backdoor.
The weasel-like creatures hiss, and one moves closer to spray a filthy cloud of rotten wetness over the adventures. The smell doesn't linger, but that stuff can't be healthy.
I need a DC 17 fort save
Yekai moves closer as well, and throws an explosive at Jhalan
Bomb, Jhalan:1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 294d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1, 5, 4) + 4 = 16RFX DC 18 for Boram and Fa to take half of 8 hp damage

The sorcerer was obviously preparing another spell and completely missed the fact that the enemy was attacking! He took a face full of musk AND got singed by the explosive!

Boram avoids being brought down by the musk, but is unable to avoid the fiery blast.
The room description stated that this was a 'wide, open chamber'. Are the ceilings high enough that a flying halfling would be able to move around with impunity, or would that not really help at all?

Jhalan coughs his way out of the smoke cloud, covered with burns and hot residues of broken glass. Angered, he lets loose another arrow before retreating for now.
Takahiro heads for the door, along with Bones. Bones listens, but hears no activity, other than the coughing of Fa'zakar. In anger, Jhalan releases an arrow, but his hand trembles so much that his aim is off.
Boram could possibly fly around, yes

Fa'zakar automatically fails his concentrate check this round, since he took more damage than he could possibly roll for. So his action this round is lost...

Boram applies a vial of alchemist's fire to an arrow, then waits with a steady hand while the smoke from his bomb dissipates. When can see his target once more, he fires his bow twice at the alchemist.

Fa'zakar again begins his arcane ritual, waiting for the smoke to clear before unleashing another scorching ray at the rat or wayang, whichever may be in range of his spell!
Takahiro attempts to open the door, but soon notices it is barred or barricaded from the other side.
As the smokes dissipates, Boram spots the alchemist once more, and fires a burning arrow at the sneaky opponent. The fire sets the creature's leg ablaze, throwing long shadows on the wall, while a second arrow flies into the black silhouettes, drawing blood.
Fa'zakar fires off a ray of fire, and burns one of the weasel-like creatures to the ground.

While Jhalan whittles the door into small pieces, Bones moves just close enough to channel positive energy to heal Boram and Fa'zakar, but not any foes.
