Patros' blow lands hard and the rogue cries out in pain but remains on his feet. He draws his short sword, and attempts to return Patros' courtesy, then takes a 5' step away from him.

Wisp throws open the door, and the lamplight beyond reveals a small room with file cabinets along the eastern wall, and a door in both the northern and western wall. Of course, all of that is eclipsed by the rogue standing just inside the doorway.
"Frack!" he exclaims loudly before reaching out and slamming the door shut again.

Leppin reaches over and opens the door. He holds his small blade ready should an enemy emerge.
Leppin throws open the door, expecting the foe to be waiting beyond, and slashes ineffectually through empty space. As Patros goes barreling across the room toward the door, Mythryndyr calmly moves until he has line of sight and puts an arrow through the rogue's left eye with enough force to pin his head to the wooden wall in front of the western door, which is also now open. By the time Brin lines up a shot with his tanglefoot bag, the rogue's body's weight has begun to drag him down off the back end of the arrow, leaving its fletching covered in gore and the dead rogue in a heap.
While there's no light source inside the western room, from the light filtering in from the fileroom, you see boxes of old files and papers stacked in one corner of this small room, opposite a half-dozen brooms and other cleaning supplies.
Out of initiative. The rogues each have leather armor, short sword, 5 daggers and a tanglefoot bag. Brin, do let me know if you want to use the heightened awareness buff on next initiative roll, or wait until later into the spell.

"Might come in handy," Leppin says as he swipes the tanglefoot bag off of the corpse.
The gnome moves into the file room and begins to search for clues. "This might take a while."
Leppin looks around the room, spying nothing of particular value. He ponders the fileboxes, his curiosity making his scalp itch, but the men of action in the other room are quick to point out there had been a couple of shouts of alarm and a kinetic blast, none of which had been particularly quiet. Clearly now's not the time for a deeper dive into the files. The gnome let's out an uncontented sigh and turns to leave the room. That's when he notices that a decent chunk of the SW corner of the room not only is free of clutter, there is no dust or dirt on a square-shaped patch of the floor. And that's when he spots the thin outline of a trapdoor in the floor...

Patros picks himself up and looks around. He grabs the secobd tanglefoot bag and readies to head out when Leppin calls out.
My friend, you have eyes as sharp as any elf I have met... he says ad he claps a meaty hand on the gnome's shoulder. But we shkuld come back to it...might be more hostiles around...
"Same as before" but with a bit more prep/organization sounds to me like:
Leppin pulls open door and steps back. Patros up front ready to charge any foe he can reach/charge. Myth, Brin and Wisp in 2nd row ready to attack first foe they spot when door opens. Brin, you can have tanglefoot bag in hand and still chuck bomb, but if going with "readied" action, specify which is your intended weapon. Everyone can go ahead and make a preemptive Perception check and Initiative roll, in that order, as a way of confirming good with plan for opening door to north.

"I thought we were here to find evidence not execute everyone," Leppin murmurs as he steps over the corked skull of the warehouse worker.
Leppin throws open the door to a huge open room that takes up most of the interior of this large building. It appears unfinished, with a wooden frame that could have housed two separate floors but is instead open to the roof like a barn. Across the center of the warehouse, a catwalk hangs fifteen feet off the ground. dotted white lines on map outline the catwalk. Heavy items can be pulled up to the catwalk with ropes and a block and tackle. In the northeast and southwest corners, rooms have been framed in and walls erected. Shelving lines most of the walls, and crates and boxes are stacked in many places on the main floor. You do get a sense that the space is open all the way to the huge bay doors off to the southeast, though you can't see them from your current location. None of your readied actions go off as you tense up for a moment or two, waiting for an enemy to appear. You neither see nor hear anyone in that pregnant moment of silence.

"I strongly doubt it is empty, but I understand your meaning that we should search it. That was never not the plan." comes Brin's whispered response. He tries to follow quietly, while scanning for signs of others.
Wisp had the highest initiative, so his entry into the room triggers the following. Brin, Myth, I've moved you back into the file room, and you still have your actions this round.
Wisp quietly slips into the room, taking a look around. He spies the large sliding bay doors to the south, where a serviceable wagon is parked. Just when he comes to a stop, a large ceramic jar falls from the catwalk above, and shatters at his feet, instantly covering him with with a swarm of congealed euphoric toxins that seem to quiver with life.
Wisp, take 1 point of damage from the ooze and make a reflex save.
All eyes are instantly drawn to the catwalk above, where you see three men with shortbows stand up on the catwalk, and 2 of them fire at Wisp--the third moving a little more slowly, having just shoved the jar over the edge of the catwalk.

Stepping through the door when he hears the glass shatter, Brin exclaims, "Drat! That jar had a Sanguine Ooze Swarm in it! Difficult to get rid of and resistant to fire. You'll pay for that you rapscallions!"
Seeing the close line up of enemies, he throws his bomb instead of his tanglefoot bag, aiming for the green clad antagonist in the center of the group.

Well, this can't be good news
@GM Uktar, I just want to point out I have Enveloping Winds up as a constant ability. I am not certain if it makes a difference, but I thought I would bring it up.
Enveloping Winds Element(s) air; Type defense (Su); Level —; Burn 0 You constantly surround yourself with a whirling torrent of air, crackling arcs of lightning, or both to protect yourself from ranged attacks. All ranged attacks made with physical weapons suffer a 20% miss chance against you, except for attacks from massive weapons such as a giant’s thrown boulder or a ballista. This ability has no effect on ray attacks.

I believe Tiny can still take half damage from S/P weapons and full from B, right?
"Slime swarms? What are they doing with jars full of slime?" Leppin asks rhetorically as he moves around the shelves in the warehouse. "Don't worry, even if Wisp starts staring at his navel, these buggers will go down as quickly as the last."
Wisp finds himself Entangled in a viscous ooze swarm, and buffeted by arrow attacks from above. His fellow adventurers rise to his defense. Their ire at seeing Wisp injured brings an intense focus to their aim, and the cover offered by the walkway does not avail your foes. Brin's blast staggers Mr. Green and severely burns the the other 2. Myth's arrow finishes off Mr. Red. Patros unstraps his shield and pulls out his bow, ready to join the his compatriots in unleashing a ranged barrage of death upon those who would dare injure your party.
Patros, it's a move action to unstrap the shield, to either put it away or even just drop it (it's the unstrapping that takes time). You can move as you pull out the bow, so feel free to reposition yourself as part of pulling your bow out, if you desire.
@ Wisp Enveloping Winds won't help with the ooze because it's a beasty that was simply dropped on you. But for the arrows... miss chance green (low means miss):1d100 ⇒ 65 miss chance blue (low means miss):1d100 ⇒ 94 Both arrows manage to penetrate the winds, and were against your flatfooted AC, i.e. both strike home.
Spoiler for Wisp:
I'm laying it all out here for you, since it'll effect your actions for the round, and the explanation's a little long. At the start of your turn, you'll need to make 2 Fort saves:
first v. Distraction. DC: 13 or better, otherwise nauseated.
second is for Euphoric Slime: DC:13 Fort v. Poison or be staggered from uncontrollable laughter. The 2 conditions effects don't stack, so if fail both saves or just the first save, can still take a single move action. Make the first save & fail the second, can take either move or a standard. Make both you're good to go, though you're still entangled, which means take –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) or lose the spell. You think it would take a full-round action to scrape the ooze bits off of you in order to lose entangled condition. You'll remain entangled by the viscous goo until you do scrape it off.

@Leppin, correct. Tiny critter swarms can be damaged by weapons.

No worries. I was thinking the description of a "ceramic jar" sounded like a projectile, but totally cool if it was too big/heavy to be buffeted aside.
Fort vs Distract:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 Fort vs poison:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
The wayang feels a familiar burble in the pit of his stomach, but manages to keep it down. He holds his arms out and hands wide to keep the goo from touching him more. "This is just gross. You are terrible people. Who thinks of doing this? And then you shot me! TWICE!! By the Dark, you guys are just evil." Wisp looks around for something, anything to wipe the viscous slime off of him. He immediately begins scraping the ...stuff...off of him. "I really hate these guys." He continues to wipe as he shouts up to the rafters, "I didn't even go into the house until all your friends were already dead. Kind of wish I went inside a little earlier now. Jerks."
I'll give Wisp the 5' step to get out of the actual swarm space before scraping off--you are moving at half speed, but that doesn't prevent 5' step. It also puts you under the catwalk and out of line of fire from bowmen above. But...
Wisp quickly steps out of the goo and under the catwalk to get himself out of the line of fire from above. He scrapes off all the clingy, viscous goo that's stuck to him. No longer entangled. 1 for Brin, 2 for Wisp:1d2 ⇒ 2
Unfortunately, the gooey ooze swarm quivers with excitement--if it could feel excitement--at the prospect of 2 targets within reach. So much food, so little time. It does quiver in an unexcited fashion as it moves back onto Wisp with a loud schlurping sound.
Wisp, take another HP of damage, make another Reflex save or become re-entangled by Viscous goo, and on your turn, 2 fort saves v Distraction and Euphoria.
Up above, you see Mr. Green turn green around the gills as he watches the swarm go about its attempt at feeding on wayang. A look of disgust crosses his face, and he Staggers toward the ladder at the east end of the catwalk. He finishes his movement centered on the larger platform by the ladder, leaving no clear shot at Mr. Green from the floor of the warehouse.
Mr. Blue, though singed around the edges, remains undeterred and takes a shot at Brin.

While Wisp is still in the same space as the ooze swarm, he does manage to keep from being overwhelmed and entangled. still need the fort saves v Distraction and Euphoria if it's still alive on your turn

"Move away from the Swarm Wisp!" Brin shouts to his little team mate!
Readied action to throw as soon as Wisp clears the swarm. Target will be the farthest corner of the swarm so that only the swarm is hurt. I marked it with an X.
Patros arrow misses its mark while Leppin positions himself to provide support, his enCOURAGing words Lingering in the air. Brin stands ready to try and incinerate the ooze once Wisp is clear.

The tiny wayang begins to giggle. "Tee hee. Goo. Goooo. Itsa a funny word. It ...oozes off the tongue.. HA HA. Ooozy gooo...goosey. An oozy floozy... WHO'S A GOOSE!! AH HAHAHAHA. The laughter rocks the kineticist. He stumbles across the warehouse with next to no control of his movements. "Hey Brin, know any oooozy floooozies? Maybe we can drink some boozey! Oh, it hurts...I can't breathe. "
Staggard move action is to GTFO of the range so Brin can attack it.
While Wisp succumbs to the Euphoric Slime, he does manage to make a giggling retreat to a safe distance from the ooze. As he stumbles along, he shouts out, "Hey, there's a trapdoor over here as well!" as if it's the most hilarious thing in the world.
Brin unleashes a fiery bomb on the ooze. Much of the damage does not seem to effect it, though it is somewhat burned around the edges. The creature senses Brin is the closest living thing, so it schlurps its way over onto the alchemist.
In the meantime, the one remaining bowman makes a staggering leap from the platform onto the small framed structure in the NE corner of the room. He then drops down in front of the door. He reaches for the door handle but then slumps into the door and falls to the ground, unconscious and covered in burns.
Brin, take 1 point of damage, and make a DC: 13 reflex save or become Entangled in Viscous Slime. Then at start of your turn, 2 fort saves, also DC: 13. Fail the first, Nauseated (distracted). Fail the 2nd, Staggered due to Euphoric fumes from slime causing uncontrollable laughter.

Brin takes 1 point acid splash damage from Patros' flask. Still need a DC: 13 reflex save from Brin to see if he's entangled by viscous goo. If he is, it'll be a full-round action to scrape it off.
Wisp giggles uncontrollably at the look of indignation on Brin's face before the effects of the euphoric slime wear off.
