"So we want to go ahead and try the temple? Or do you all have somewhere else to go to?
Brv, did Elathras find any more hidden tunnels?
Looking at Thoron, Elathras shrugs, "Last time we got our butts handed to us. If you think we can do something different I'm game." He gestures towards Max's cave. "There were two other caves leading down in Max's cave. I don't know if they would be safer or not."
"We have a much better idea of what is in that temple now and that can make an extreme difference. I agree, check the other remaining tunnels but I believe we can handle the temple."
As the conversation turns to 'tunnels' Elathras points out, "We've checked all the tunnels on this level. The 'tunnels' in Max's cave go down further." giving a grin. "If anything comes up them, I doubt if it will make it past Max."
Shrugging, Elathras leads the group towards the temple. On the way there he asks, "Does anyone remember what Marthek and Thoron were fighting in the back? I didn't get a very good look at it." Scratching his head, "And wasn't the door cursed or something?"
I moved the group to the room with the "2" though the tunnel to the bunk room that the creature materialized.
Nodding to Thoron, Elathras says, "I know the perfect spot, the elf tomb we found on the above level." He then leads the group back to the stairwell and up to the third floor where the elven maid still slept in her eternal slumber. Once they went down the ladder, Elathras closed the hatch. "We should be able to rest here without needing a watch."
Assuming everything is cool
In the morning Elathras leads the team back to the room outside the temple's sleeping quarters.
"Excellent idea," Cuthalian encourages when Elathras mentions the elf tomb.
Once in position and everyone is ready to make a move on the temple, Cuthalian begins to cast Invisibility, then shield of faith, weapon of awe, and as the doors are being opened, divine favor.
"ok I get 5 protection from evil that should cover the entire party. Who wants the bear endurance and who wants the bull strength? Any other spells that I should pray for that you all recommend?

After you decide on your offensive spells, let the rest be cures and restores; maybe a Bless and a Prayer, just remember to let loose on the prayer after we go in so the bad guys are affected too.
I intend to cast Enlarge Person on Marthek (with DM approval) and Elathras and can get up to 2 more PCs if they ask for it. As we reach the hall before the door leading into the star shaped room, I want to cast Detect Magic on the ornately decorated door to see if it has any magical traps. If it does, I will also be casting a Haste with 1 Reservoir point for Potent Magic to increase my caster level to 9 (giving 9 rounds of effect) on the party the round before we enter the hallway before the door, so I can then use 1 reservoir point to Quick Study Haste into Dispel Magic and then cast it on the door with the intent of getting any magic trap or runes on the door also using 1 Reservoir point to increase caster level with Potent Magic. If not, I will instead go Haste as above and move with the party down the hall casting Mirror Image with 1 reservoir point for increased caster level in the same round. Finally, I will prepare my PC with Armored Mask immediately following Spell preparation at the beginning of the day (cost 1 Reservoir point).
Total resources used:
1 2d level spell to fuel my reservoir
1 reservoir point for armored mask
2 first level spells enlarge person in prep room (amend if needed for more)
1 3d level spell and 1 reservoir point for haste in prep room
option: if the door radiates magic, 1 reservoir point for quick study and a second plus 3d level spell for dispel magic; if door is not, then 1 reservoir point and 2d level spell for mirror image
4 reservoir points, 2 1st, 1 2d, and 2 3d level spells for option 1
3 reservoir points, 2 1st, 2 2d, and 1 3d level spell for option 2
I am updating my signature line for each step as we reach or exceed it since we might have a random encounter or something.
Once we reach the spell prep room, Alana will arm herself with her rod of metamagic (selection) and require a move action to recall her heavy flail from her Handy Haversack.
Thought so. There's Alana, Thoron, Cuthalian, Elathras, and Marthak for the Protection from Evil. If he wants to get Something besides Bear's Strength, Bull Endurance (I can get either or for him) let me know. Or I can cast Aid on him.

If no one else wants Enlarge Person, I can through Protection #6 on myself so his list can stay as is. I recommend the cure spell over Aid...Aid got a big nerf in 3.5/PF compared to what it did for a 1E/2E character.

So, assuming we make it to the room just prior to the hall leading to the ornate door before the temple and before we start casting any more buffs in the room, Alana wants to cast a detect magic down the hall to see if the door is still enchanted, and if it is make a Spellcraft check to see what it might be.
