Penda moves pass the fires closer to Jayori.
"The fires are out of control. I think that one", she points to blue, "is the leader. But I can't get a clear shot. I will try to clear the way to him."
She pulls back her bow and fires an arrow true at yellow.

Yâble cries to collegues and future customers.
"Hey, I found what we need! Take the keys and we are gone!"
I wonder if they gonna give me a reward.thinks Yâble.
Yeah, after a couple of rounds of this, I recommend running away. Other Pathfinders will arrive to handle the fire. The others aren't coming back for their fallen comrade.
The table at the center of this rectangular room is completely contained within a rune-inscribed circle set into the floor. Atop the table lies a Kelishite man’s body, spread-eagled and bloodstained. At the far end of the chamber hangs a ragged tapestry torn down its center. A peaceful wood with trampled undergrowth is visible through the tear, though the tapestry clearly hangs against a solid wall.
Four of the owl-like creatures from before are here, flying near the 20 foot tall ceiling. One sneers, "Look, more jailers." as you arrive.

Edit: oops, GM posted while I was typing =)
Yup, about the results one would expect.
With a sigh, Jayori will call for the others to vacate the room, as the fires prove too much for them to safely contain by themselves.
"Close the doors, try to keep it from spreading further." He says. "We can do no more ourselves."
He will drag the unconscious arsonist out of the room as well, and bind him up. Confiscating the keys to confirm they indeed belong to the Master of Spells.
"Yâble was correct." He confirms. "These do appear to be Aram Zey's."
He frowns. "Not a good sign at all."
I agree the tapestry room seems appropriate... especially if Jay's guess about where the owl-folk came from had some merit... someone's clearly messing with it!

Yable looks at the owls.
"Slavers?" says Yable.
He than have a moment of illumination
"You didn't read the memo! We have found your starmap. Other huuls or what you are called, have it. So you can just leave this place.
Has for the slavers... What? The aspis uses slaves frequently. And knowing them, you are consider less than a tool for them.
If you think we are slavers. Have you seen any slave of the pathfinder society?"

Stormy too will try to talk these creatures down, but she will ready a Storm Burst should thing go badly.
We are not slavers and would help you leave this place if that is yrou goal. As the dwarf has said, we have already helped some of your kind find a starmap they needed. Do not make us fight you.

Yable will just ready an attack if they come to attack. ready attack:1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6d:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Tyranius flees from the room of flames in terror. So much fire in such a short period.... He huffs as sweat pours down his face.
On the way to the Tapestry chamber Tyranius pulls out his wand of CLW to heal Yable when he sees Jayori beat him to the punch.
Placing a hand on the man's shoulder he nods his head in a silent thanks.
What did you do to this man? Tyranius gasps as he sees the Keleshite man spread across the wooden table's surface.
Twisting his hands Tyranius begins to control the subtle winds within the room. The winds begin to grow more violent around the blue owl-like creature.
Added a white number on each enemy token, indicating how many feet above ground they are at present, for the sake of clarity.
"More Pathfinder lies!" one shrieks as it descends to land on the table.Effectively 5 feet up, but no longer flying. It raises an unholy symbol of Asmodeus above its head, unleashing a wave of unholy energy over you.
Channel:1d6 ⇒ 22 points to Yable, Stormy, and Kailun. 1 to Tyranius, Jayori, and Penda. DC 13 concentration from Kailun to retain the spell.
Another hoots, "The jailer is dead! Now we are free!" in response to Tyranius.

The body on the table looks like Aram Zey... is it? Or just coincidence? =)
With a grim look, Jayori advances on the creature that descended down to their level. As he goes, holy light seems to surround him, healing some of his wounds from earlier.
Swift action, lay on hands for Lay On Hands:1d6 ⇒ 4 healing
"The lies are the ones that have lead you to this folly, not ours." He says. "And your god of Trickery will not extricate you from them." He adds, glaring at the symbol to Asmodeus.

Went back and recounted all Kailun's rolls so far this game because I'm a math nerd like that. Average roll on d20: 8.4. Natural 1s: 4. Natural 20s: 0. This character is cursed.
Doubtful knocks the owl-man off the table with his blow. The creature doesn't get up. Now that he's close enough, Jayori can get a good look at the body. It's clear:
Aram Zey is dead.
The one injured by Tyranius also lands, blasting unholy hellfire over you.
Channel:1d6 ⇒ 2Two points to Yable, Kailun, and Penda. One to Tyranius, Stormy, and Jayori.
Sorry to hear that, Kailun. Maybe physical dice will like him better if you play in person? Though you're definitely not the wizard with the worst fortune in this tower.

I think I am stealing all of Kailun's good rolls. I think I have rolled like 4 or 5 critical threat this game.
You forgot an other damage roll? or you did not attack with your bow?
Yellow is dead before it hits the ground, while Blue falls to Stormy's blast.
The final one flies into the middle of your group, and gives the devilish energies of Asmodeus one more shot.

Bah, it will just more loot to sell
Yâble to the final one and ready an action when someone will flank with him he will thrust his rapier on the owl's guts... if it have one.
Pulling forth his medallion of Gozreh. Tyranius holds it high into the air as he counters the owl-creature's negative energy with some positive energy of his own.
Tyranius reluctantly moves in closer to the table just before he releases his pulse of healing energies. Staring down his emotions mix from sadness to anger at looking at the body on the table.
The owlman is dazed for the brief moment before Yable's blade knocks him into unconsciousness.
Reviewing the notes you recovered, you're able to recreate the ritual necessary to seal the portal in the tapestry, if you wish. That will take 10 minutes. You can also recover as necessary before heading to the Sky Key Chamber (which I'll have up next time).
You can roll a Heal check on Aram Zey. Any divination magics (including Detect Magic) might also give some more information. It's pretty clear that your feathered friends here wouldn't have been able to bring down the Master of Spells, though.

Penda nods to Jayori and Tyranius. "Thank you. Those beast power cut deeper than a blade."
She walks over to the body. "This will have wide effects. Someone will have to take his place after all this is over. It is unlikely anyone so... him will be found."
"We should get the portal closed if we can.
Pend moves some arrows out of her pack into her quiver.
Though Zey has many wounds, from a variety of weapons, none are obvious killing blows. If Stormy (or someone else) opts to investigate magically, you discern the lingering aura of what must have been a powerful necromantic spell of some sort.
You pass word of Zey's fate on to another Pathfinder, who promises to alert senior field agents, and make haste to the chamber where the Sky Key is kept.
This tall library is ringed by a walkway around its perimeter, which provides access to a second level of towering bookshelves. A broad Qadiran rug leads to a short pedestal within a tall glass case that itself sits within an inscribed circle—all cordoned off by a velvet rope suspended by brass poles. Several plush chairs and a few low tables bearing curios line the lower floor, and two decorative suits of armor stand at attention, each with a crossbow resting against its shoulder. Heatless torches blaze with remarkably consistent light in sconces throughout the room, and a tall pendulum clock against the eastern wall ticks each passing second as its hands move erratically.
A ghostly image of a Pathfinder appears in the center of the room, where his likeness eerily begins to slide through the display case. His voice echoes as he speaks to an unseen party. “Oh no, they’ve stolen the Sky Key. It also appears they disrupted the auxiliary stabilizer, too.”
He pauses before continuing. “Do you feel that? I feel kind of sick all of a sudden. I hope they didn’t try to disassemble it—or worse, bring it too close to the tapestry. Wasn’t that why Zey kept them so far—”
The figure’s words go unfinished as he begins to scream and dissolve, fading from view in a matter of seconds. Almost immediately, four identical copies of him, seemingly made of glowing coils of flesh, appear on the far side of the room.
Knowledge (Religion) identifies these.
At the beginning of your turn, please roll a Fortitude save (DC in spoilers below), as time seems to speed up and slow down erratically, disorienting you. Those who pass are immune for the duration of the encounter. Those who fail are sickened for 1d4 rounds (please roll for yourself), and may save again once that period is over.
"I've heard of these things before..." Kailun manages to say before clutching his stomach.
Kailun uses his arcane bond to get another summon monster I and does a 5 foot step to the back of the group (squeezing with Penda). Not sure why the wizard keeps leading the way into each encounter...
