Khana, he was trying to cast bless. The bigger deal was that if Ahraq hadn't slain (what is the past perfect form of slay, anyway? That doesn't look right) the goblin, his automaton, the second nastiest enemy in the level, would have gone after you.
So we have 4 of you wanting to continue. Because of the Spire's nasty reputation, when we get closer, I'm going to recruit two more players, unless anyone objects.
Guys, I've found two more players, both muscle types. Now lets take care of this BBG!
It only worked because you guys are a bit of a race mishmash. I considered it more believable a lie that an odd group would be a bugbear's minions than a vanilla human/elf type of party. You wouldn't have made the DC if I had considered it less believable. And the adventure already had a related possibility if you had tried diplomacy.

We're losing a bit of our 'meat' as well as our other locksmith, it seems.
The option I WAS considering if we'd kept the same party was Sister in Arms (Cavalier Archetype from Adventurer's Guide).
I'm definitely keeping the race (it'd hurt my continuity otherwise) but do folks have other suggestions/ideas?
The two new players are both going to be muscle, if that helps.
Hey guys who are continuing on to the next level,
Please dot in here, and post in discussion.
I will close the level 1 campaign after everyone has their chronicle. I'll get your chronicles to you in the next day or two.
To make it easier to start your level up, I'll just tell you now that you all got 3 EXP, 4 prestige, and 1398 gold.
Khana, I've looked again at the rules in the Guild Guide on day jobs, and no, I will not allow you to apply inspiration to it. Sorry.
Your chronicles are almost ready; please PM me an email address I can send them to.
The scenario is reported, as much as possible.
Ahraq, I couldn't find your info to be able to report for you.
Elado, the system thinks your character is -4, not -3. I reported it for -4 so the name would match up. I think you may have a deleted -1 character or something like that.
Khana, Elado, and Baku, you should have your chronicles with everything properly reported.
Yroh and Raga, I have reported for you and your chronicles are complete, but I need your email address to get it to you.
Ahraq, I have not reported or made your chronicle because I need the information for the chronicle and your email address.
It's an extra chronicle associated with the Emerald Spire. I need to go figure out if I'm supposed to give it to you now or later.
I've sent out Land Rush to everyone I have an address for.
Ahraq, I need your email address and chronicle info
Raga, I need an email address.

Will you allow me to add Inspiration to my Day Job roll? Threads discussing the question don't appear to have reached a firm answer either way, which I believe bounces the ball to your discretion in this case, DM (and given that crafter's fortune applies, I don't see why this can't as well).
Posting this for edification. Let me state up front that I completely agree with Redalia's ruling in this specific case from both a technical perspective and from the perspective that she's the GM. I just want to take the opportunity to expound on the issue.
Mark Seifter posted about this in his Rogue Eidolon guise here. This was before he became a Paizo Developer, so it's not official policy, but if you've ever met Mark, you know that he's scary smart and knows his stuff. His position and that of other 5 Stars and VCs in that thread is that Inspiration can be used for Day Jobs if and only if you can do so without expending points of Inspiration on the skill you are using for Day Job checks.
Ways to achieve that include (but are not limited to):
1) Taking the Investigator Talent "Expanded Inspiration" which allows free uses on Profession checks (among others.)
2) Getting the Information Brokerage vanity that allows one to use Knowledge(Local) for Day Jobs, which a normal Investigator can do for free.
3) Combining talents / archetypes / vanities to achieve the same result
See this Vanities list for an easy reference list of alternate Day Job skills (which interestingly was compiled by Mark Seifter when he was VC of Mass.)
In Khana's case, her page says that she has the Underworld Inspiration talent, but does not list a Vanity that would allow her to roll a Day Job check using Knowledge, Linguistics, Spellcraft, (the default free-use skills) or Bluff, Disable Device, Disguise, Intimidate, or Sleight of Hand (added by Underworld Inspiration). Without a vanity to expand Day Jobs to one of those skills that she can use inspiration without expending points, Khana cannot add inspiration to Day Job rolls.
Should we have to jump thru these hoops on this issue that's been around for this long? No, it should be (have been!) addressed in an FAQ or the Guild Guide. But until it is, I've used the linked thread above to support my Swash-igator rolling Day Job using the Information Brokerage vanity at many tables without any issues.
