Yeah...I see a set up coming.
Deciding to error on the side of caution, I pull out my wand of Shield and activate it, giving my self a extra bit of protection.
Eloriand ignites his wayfinder into a glowing ray. He flashes it around the area providing some illumination. Caoilte stands guard as Tarek enters the house. His darkvision detects no signs of life as he takes a step into the drafty darkened house. Havelock expends a charge and his is encased in a shimmering translucent protective field.
Go ahead and move your tokens to represent where you are and describe what, if any, actions you take.
Kat will wait for the signal that it's okay to start scouting then head inside, sticking as close to shadows as possible (rolls already made in my last post) she head to where her token is and if she feels like there is no door trap proceed to check that room out.
The Archons cautiously begin to explore the house. Tarek discovers a stairwell leading to the second floor. Issador, Eloriad and Kat look for any sign of treachery or activity. Havelock and Caoilte stand watch in the street. The house remains quiet, at least for the time being.

As my comrades go in the building I nod to Caoilte as we stand vigilant, waiting to see if anything comes of our entrance into the building from anyone that might be observing us from the outside. Cautious and not wishing to make my self a training aid for a crossbowman or a archer, I move my self to make sure I am not silhouetted by any external light from the moon and stars, or from any internal light in the house.
I take a knee, lowering my profile, while slowly, silently, drawing the long rhomboidal shaped blade from the leather lined lynwood scabbard.
If her rolls let her search the entirety of the bottom floor and start up the second, that is what she will do. Otherwise she will let El and Izzy search the remaining rooms on the first floor and start scouting the second.

Isador sneaks along behind Eloriand and takes up a position near the opposite doorway. He checks the bottom of the door for any signs of movement before leaning forward to place his ear against its surface.
As Caoilte and Havelock guard the street, the rest of the agents explore the house further. Attempting to stay in the shadows, Isador finds what a appears to be a kitchen. The moonlight shining through the open curtains unveils some shelves and tables holding plates and cookware. The settled dust throughout the room hints that it has not seen use in some time. Eloriand, meanwhile, uncovers a back storage area that holds some old crates but little else. Tarek and Kat cautiously head up the stairs and find themselves at the end of two longer hallways. Tarek sees a serious of three doors to the north and one door to the south. Kat sees three doors to the south and one to the north. The wind still tumbles the curtains at the windows and Tarek's steps cause the wooden floors to squeak ever so lightly but the sound carries thought the silent house.
Tarek listens at the door for any sounds inside. He will open the door once he feels confident it is safe to enter.

Thinking to himself I bet this all turns out to be a bogus lead just to keep us occupied while someone is off doing some nefarious deed....boy do I hope I am wrong

Wondering what is going on in the house, I maintain my stationary security watch....eyes, ears, and even my nose, straining to discern anything different or unique. Having felt the wrath of dragons and wyverns on battlefields only a few summers prior, my eyes also dart above.

Looking back at Caoilte, Yeah, I got a bad feeling about this. Good thing they have trained professionals like us to fall back on. With a grin I go about my sentry business, looking, watching, and prepared to respond by all means required.
The Archons continue to explore the house, the only sound is the occasional creek of the wood floor as the party moves about the house.
Tarek:
Tarek, certain that the current level of the house is the topmost, carefully listens to the door directly to his north. He hears nothing and cautiously opens the door. The room in empty but for a nondescript bed in the corner next to an old dusty nightstand. Tarek visually sweeps the room and he can make out most of the soft detail in the pale moon light. He considers using his darkvision when his gaze settles upon the window frame where he distinctly sees the outline of larger winged creature. The stork tilts his head at Tarek and almost seems to be smiling.
Suddenly, Tarek feels a sharp stab into his back. Luckily, his armor absorbs the blow which would have likely otherwise severed his spinal chord. A silky smooth, but angry voice quietly hisses from behind him. You should have left when you had the chance, Pathfinder! Now, I think I will play with you for a while.
Initiative:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14 If you wanted to get me alone, all you had to do was ask Tarek smiles, spins around and draws his weapon instinctively, striking at the person behind him
Attacks with Falcata:1d20 ⇒ 16 Falcata Damage:1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

A pretty night, perhaps this is all a hoax and another frustrating day spent trying to absolve our Pathfinder brethren. Jorstal, "Mr. Captain Adventure, I like to leave my Pathfinder brethren out to hang high and dry cause I am a political wuss with no gonads, no sense of leadership culture or grand strategy, " what a tool. Homocratic Bureacraticus to the maximus, no wonder he drives a desk.
Well, at least is a nice quiet night, and with that I continue my scanning, keeping my thoughts to myself.
The party hears Tarek yell from his location on the upper floor of the house. The sound is muffled and not entirely clear, but is certainly a sign of distress.
Tarek:
Tarek spins and attacks the assailant, slicing him across the chest with his falcata. Tarek can make out some of the features of the man now despite the low light. He is tall, lean with features brown hair and pale skin, likely of Chellish descent. He smiles wickedly at Tarek and withdraws, running west down the hall and out of sight.
The attacker takes the withdraw action to avoid the AOO.
Is the stork still in the window or did it leave? Does Tarek need to make a new initiative check? Tarek will cast divine favor and move down the hall after the man I an not sure what order he needs to do things but if he needs a free hand to cast the spell then he will sheath his weapon as part of his move and then cast the spell
Realizing that the rooms and hallways are too small for everyone to be at their best, Kat keeps to the South hallway and continues to search the rooms as quietly as she can.

Looks like it just got interesting!

Not sure what it all means, I pull from my arcane reserves while freeing my blade from its scabbard...scanning and prepared to take out any threat.
I read the spell and it has a V & S component so he will have to cast after his move. The DF component is not necessary because of the oracle class.

Brew as at the Hawks game that ended at 0119 CST after 3 overtime periods....but don't feel sorry for him, cause it was 0219 EST for me watching them win
The Archons spring to action at the sign of their distressed fellow agent!
Eloriand runs to the main entry hallway to investigate the source of the trouble. He finds the hallway clear.
Kat begins to check the south rooms for more foes. She opens the first door and finds the room empty save for a bed and night stand.
Isador draws his bow and runs up the stairs to back up their aasimar friend. He ascends the stairs as Tarek is finishing drawing on his innate divine power to strengthen himself for battle. He shares a look with Isador, communicating that he is not harmed, and moves to the closed door to the westernmost northern room.
Havelock draws his weapon and infuses it with arcane power. He stands ready for action.

I am still standing, though triple overtime was a bit much. Auto rolled initiative for those folks who did not post one. Caoilte is up.
Tarek notices Isador approach as he finishes preparing his spell. He gestures in the direction the assailant ran and speaks softly He is a sly one, be on your toes and watch your back. He got a jump on me but my armor did it's job to keep all my innards safe and inside

With Caoilte going in the front door, I make a 360 sweep of the house, ducking below any ground level windows.
Caoilte runs into the house toward the sound of Tarek's distress call. he makes it to their location.
Eloriand races up the stairs to join his Tarek and Isador in their search.
Kat makes a sweep of the remaining southern rooms, finding them apparently clear and similar to the other bedroom.
Isador knocks and arrow and covers Tarek's advance.
Havelock:
As Havelock turns the corner, he sees the alley is clear. As he advances, empowered sword drawn, he is suddenly attacked from above. The assailant, clinging to the wall and using the natural shadow of the night, seemingly comes from no where. He jabs knife hard into Havelock's side. Fortunately, the impeccably kept armor does its job and the blade is stopped from piercing his kidneys. The man looks at Havelcok, he can make out a grin in the light of the moon. Why won't you agents die like the good little scum you are!
Kat will take the door on the North end of her hall in an attempt to rendezvous with the rest of her party. If that door doesn't go to a room or hall that meets with the North hall, then she'll double back down her stairs and take the North stairs.

My eyes narrow as I react to my attacker. WAVICK!! The air crackles with arcane electrical energy as it travels through me and my blade as I counter attack.
Rise up till Lambs become Lions:
I will will use the spell strike feat with a defense cast and swing back at my attacker

Your successful melee touch attack deals 1d6 points of electricity damage per caster level (maximum 5d6). When delivering the jolt, you gain a +3 bonus on attack rolls if the opponent is wearing metal armor (or is carrying a metal weapon or is made of metal). I assume he is using a metal weapon
Tarek responds to Eloriand Our Chelaxian friend is lurking about the house. He got a jump on me but my armor deflected his attack. I am sure he targeted me because I was alone and he mentioned about wanting to have fun with us. Be prepared for any surprises. I would also suggest we keep a little distance between us in case he shows up again. I don't know if he is a caster but we don't want to find ourselves bound by some spell. Where is Kat and Havelockk ?
Tarek opens the door, chakram ready. He finds the room apparently empty, a gentle night breeze billows the curtains to an open northern window. He is flanked by Caoilte and Eloriand. A moment later, Kat emerges from the southern room and rejoins the group.
Havelock:
Havelock fend off his attacker enough to cast shocking grasp. The energy of the spell spills forth from his hand and cascades up his blade. He swings the weapon down in a mighty arc, but the deft opponent ducks under the attack. Havelock makes out a grin in the pale light. The man disengages from the magus and runs west, disappearing around the corner of the house to the south and out of Havelock's sight.
The knife wielder used the withdraw action to avoid an AOO. Also note that I think you are calculating your concentration check wrong. Per the sheet, 'lock's concentration check is +6, +4 attribute, +1 caster level and +1 trait (? I think). Just FYI.
