Looks past party when door opens

in response to Alana offering to open the door, I assume she can open the reinforced door
No harm in letting her use magic to open the door.' Nodding to Alana, Elathras raises his silvered greatsword. "Go ahead."

after she opens the door
As the door opens, Elathras quickly steps past the threshold, just saw the roll so editing into a cobweb, "Ew" instinctively wiping his face with his elbow then trying to look around.

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

"Take the doors as we come to them?" Cuthalian asks assuming that is the plan.

The door opens to an oddly shaped empty room with three more doors.

'Figures, more doors.' smiling and nodding, then pulling his silk scarf back over his nose, he steps into the room, "clockwise work ok?"

Going to the nearest door, he listens carefully, checking it for traps, before he attempts to see if it's unlocked.

I assume one perception check will suffice
perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28

The door is again locked, but not trapped.

Hallway leading to a door on the left.

shrugging, Elathras rests his sword on his shoulder and opens the door, taking a look inside.

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32

It is again locked

'locked.' Moving a little to the side, he nods to Silvash, "Would you do the honors?"

"Might I recommend that our archers cover the scout from near the back wall?"

Alana has already moved to the position of choice

while Silvash nears the door, Elathras inspects for traps,

perception: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (18) + 16 = 34

Again locked, no traps

Once the door is inspected for traps and any found are dealt with and the door becomes unlocked, Alana will use her cantrips to open the door remotely:

"Nif Si Yenta Nif"

Silvash nods and approaches the door and works unlocking it and then steps back.

Disable Device: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33

Before entering everyone roll a Will save for later please

The air in this area is clear and smells of incense. The floors are free of dust and it is surprisingly warm. There are religious signs, blood spatterings, a broken mace, used scroll paper and a dead body dressed for a raise dead spell.

"I think check them as we come to them. I don't like having doors behind us. We need to check this one on the left when we finish with this one. As for now, mind your Ps and Qs boys." Cuthalian offers.

WIL save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

WIL save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

And since we shall need it shortly:

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later, the dice have failed me

Silvash unlocks the door and then follows the others into the room.

Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

before entering
will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 sad

’A broken mace? Scrolls? I wonder if someone was here?’ Sword in hand, moving quickly in to the room, Elathras gestures towards the body, ”Does anyone recognized what might be going on here? I wonder if someone was here.”

Looking toward the others he asks, ”Should we look for tracks?”

just in case
init: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

"I think check them as we come to them. I don't like having doors behind us. We need to check this one on the left when we finish with this one. As for now, mind your Ps and Qs boys." Cuthalian offers.

[dice=WIL save]1d20+8

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

will save Thoron: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

slowing down a little Elathras kneels and starts to look for tracks,

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22
if he finds tracks
perception: trazck: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (20) + 15 = 35

That would be survival rather than perception. You see tracks to and from the southern area but cannot identify them.

Silvash stops for a moment and casts detect magic and then searches the body and the room.

Cuthalian continues to follow Elathras, to keep him out of trouble if nothing else. Seeing the barbarian follow his own suggestion, he follows suit to see if he spots any sign of passage recently.

He then calls back down the hall, "Let's close it up, bad things happen when we get separated!"

Track/Survival: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

'I like this Cuthalian, he's right bad things happen when we split up.' moving forward slowly Elathras watches carefully as he moves south and east towards the next room.

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

The world seems to spin before your eyes. Dazzling lights flash from all corners, blinding you. With a hiss and a roar, Thoron disappears. Across the room, he reappears in front of a huge demon, fully nine feet tall, with the head of a vulture, huge bat wings, talons like razors, and flames licking from his goat legs!

init demon: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

init Silvash: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23
init Mitleid: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
init Thoron: 1d20 ⇒ 16

'Blast, that can't be good.' Seeing Thoron in trouble Elathras begins to rage, charging forward, swinging his silver greatsword. "Unhand our dwarf you fiend!"

Charge AC @ 13 MW Silver Greatsword: Rage, PA, RA
attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24 for damage: 2d6 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (2, 1) + 9 + 6 = 18

AOO on Cuthalian
hit: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Cuthalian imbues his sword with bane (swift action) "We shall send you back to the hell from which you crawled demon, bringing justice to those you have wronged." He then moves up to stand with Elathras and strikes at the beast.

Knowledge planes to know what it is: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

"Oh crap. A vulture headed demon, I swear I heard about them somewhere..."

K. Planes: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16

"...Maybe not, Xurwk Vi Reskafar!" casting Create Pit immediately under the demon in an attempt to distract it long enough for the party to withdraw to a better choke point using a reservoir point to increase the Reflex DC by 2 to 20.

reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Mitleid looks at the demon and uses perfect strike and uses a ki point o attack the demon.

Silvash moves into the room and casts a spell and Images: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 images of him appear.

'Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap.' Feeling more than seeing the pit appear, Elathras tries to move off of the tottering edge. "Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap."

reflex: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 = 18

Silvash moves into the room and casts a spell and [dice=Images]1d4+1 images of him appear.

DR 10/good; Immune electricity, poison; Resist acid 10, cold 10, fire 10; SR 20

Thoron, please contact me.

"What in the h--l are you all doing attacking me!!!!! :backs up 5' and casts defensively cure serious wounds Cure Serious Wounds: 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (8, 4, 4) + 6 = 22

Elathras and Thoron fall into the pit taking damage: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 3) = 14
Still waiting on Cuthalain to roll his reflex.

Will Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

The demon attacks Thoron with a series of vicious attacks
claw: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 13 + 1 = 28 damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (4, 6) + 5 = 15
claw: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 13 + 1 = 18 damage: 2d6 + 5 ⇒ (2, 3) + 5 = 10

Thoron falls over dead.

Initiative Order Round Two
demon has killed Thoron
Elathras
Cuthalian
Mitleid
Silvash
Alana

Thoron's body lies in the bottom of the pit with Elathras and maybe Cuthalian depending on his reflex. The Demon flies at the top of the pit.

Landing beside this pal Thoron’s corpse, Elathras stands, using his rage to renew his vigor, he lifts his sword, ”It killed Thoron!”

round two: rage, move action stand up, standard action: renewed vigor
RV: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
will: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

Silvash shakes his head quickly in disbelief, "Thoron said why are WE attacking HIM? What is going on here?"
