“Plasmic friend, please lead the way!” Petronicus gestures for the Wyrd to lead the party to our salvation.
Male Elder GM

The image changes to show the heroes and the cloud dancing around together in a circle.
Then it shows the metal ring, followed by a damaged console, then the ring with lights on it.
Male Elder GM

The wyrd ascends the shaft, and the flames around the party members disappear.
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

"Let us follow Slick's plan to ascend and follow."

"It's as good a plan as any, I can't heal anyone if no one is getting hurt!"
Human Male Wizard Lvl:3 HP:19/19 AC:11/11/10 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+1 Perception:+10

We ascend the shaft very carefully.
Male Elf Ninja Lvl:3; hp:30/25; Ki: 1/3; AC:18 (T:13, FF:15); F:+3, R:+8, W:+1; Init:+5, low-light, Perception:+7

From mere moments ago:

"I will scout ahead to the level above. If I can set a rope near the opening, we can hoist people up as before. Unless there are any more invisibility potions, I will do my best to remain unseen"

Taking 10 gives a climb of 18 and a stealth of 21.
Male Elder GM

Slick ascends quickly.
Looking around, he can see a closed door directly ahead, with the green disk beside it torn away. Green fluid oozes where the disk was. As he watches, the door quickly opens about halfway, then shuts.
Glancing around the sides of the shaft, he can see openings at the other three cardinal directions.
The comozant wyrd waits to the side.
Male Elf Ninja Lvl:3; hp:30/25; Ki: 1/3; AC:18 (T:13, FF:15); F:+3, R:+8, W:+1; Init:+5, low-light, Perception:+7

Slick creeps around the outside of the shaft, looking for immediate hazards and a place to tie the rope.

Stealth check 21 taking 10.

Male Elder GM

As Slick watches the doorway to the east, he can see klaven shuffling around inside the room beyond. They look like they are undead.

To the north and south, corridors branch off from the opening. A sealed door is also to the north, which the Wyrd heads towards.

Slick quickly ducks back when he sees that multiple armed klaven guard a room to the west.
Male Elf Ninja Lvl:3; hp:30/25; Ki: 1/3; AC:18 (T:13, FF:15); F:+3, R:+8, W:+1; Init:+5, low-light, Perception:+7

Was there anywhere to tie a rope?

Slick sneaks back down and informs the rest of the party of the situation.
Male Elder GM

Slick is able to secure the rope.
Male Elder GM

After Slick explains the situation (with Andretta's help), the group is easily able to ascend to the new level.

How do you wish to position yourselves, and where do you wish to explore first?
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

Let's follow the wyrd. If we attract attention, we might have to stop and engage.
Male Elf Ninja Lvl:3; hp:30/25; Ki: 1/3; AC:18 (T:13, FF:15); F:+3, R:+8, W:+1; Init:+5, low-light, Perception:+7

Slick will stand in the square southeast of where he is shown on the map and wave people to the north to follow the Wyrd, then fall in behind as rear guard.
Male Elder GM

Assuming you make it up to the next level without issue, is the indicated "formation" okay?
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

Fine by me

Seems ok to me
Medium Lvl:3 HP:24/24 AC:16/12/14 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+5

Seems legit.

Thorthal Stealth: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Morgrom Stealth: 1d20 ⇒ 3
Haer Kul Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18
Bardos Stealth: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (11) - 1 = 10
Andretta Stealth: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Petronicus Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
BR-N3R Stealth: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
Slick Stealth: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

There are a couple of tense moments as Morgrom "sneaks" through the portion of the hall which is in line of sight of the Klaven guards, but apparently they are not all that attentive.

The wyrd leads the group down the western branch to a room.
The large chamber includes four, dominating columns of unusual green metal. Each one throbs with a slow, rhythmic pulse shedding a faint green light with the eerie sound of a heartbeat. A thin layer of orange dust, marked by animal-like paw prints, coats the floor. To the northwest, a large breach has taken down part of the external wall, plainly revealing an alien landscape of barren rubble and debris strewn by the impact crater of a dark blue meteorite. A shimmering translucent field of energy has cordoned off the broken wall from the outside environment, occasionally flickering with an intermittent drop in power. Several spherical objects litter the ground before the meteorite, both inside and beyond the energy field. Composed of strands of unusual metal, they appear hollow and torn open from within. A nauseating tang emanates from them, filling the air inside the room.
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

How large are the paw prints? Could they have been made by a creature the size of, oh, I dunno, something that might have burst out of those little spheres?
Male Elder GM

The paw prints are about the size of those made by a riding dog, and the broken spheres would be barely large enough to contain one of those.
Male Elder GM

As Haer Kul enters the room to examine the prints, the wyrd moves towards some sort of pipe which is obviously damaged, connected to the columns.
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

Haer Kul lifts an eyebrow. He move towards the damaged pipe, and examine it to try to determine its purpose. Assuming he doesn't think it's dangerous to do so, he'll see if he can fix it.

He'll take 20 if he can, otherwise take 10. If he can't do that, then use the roll.

First he'll examine the pipe carefully: Perception: 20 + 10 = 30 (if he can't take 20 or take 10: perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

I assume Knowledge(engineering) is more appropriate than Disable Device here (since it looks like the disabling has been done)

knowledge(engineering) take 10 w/inspiration: 10 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ 10 + 6 + (5) = 21
If he can't take 10: knowledge(engineering): 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + (1) = 9

I don't know if alchemy is useful here (for the contents of the pipe), but: craft(alchemy): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Male Elder GM

As Haer Kul examines the machinery, the fumes in the room begin to cause him to feel dizzy and get a headache.
It appears that the damaged equipment will need spare parts to fix, but it seems fairly intuitive.
BR-N3R scuttles into the room and confirms this by stating, "Parts available in storage."

During this interaction, Haer Kul spots movement out of the corner of his eye. Beyond the energy field, a pair of blue lion-like creatures with tentacled manes are approaching.
Knowledge (Dungeoneering) to identify, with a -2 penalty if you do not have the Xenobiologist trait.
Male Elder GM

A gong sounds from the direction of the ceiling, followed by a few statements from a voice in an unknown language.
Andretta says, "Uh-oh. Something about system failure imminent."
Male Half-Orc Warpriest Lvl:3 HP: 30 AC: 17/10/17 F: 7 R: 4 W: 8 Init: 1 Percep: 2

“We gunna fight dem lionz?”
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

"Those tentacled blue lions, they are, how do you say, out of place. They bother me." Knowledge(Dungeoneering) (Cmon paizo dice!): 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 6 + (5) = 12 ... I hate you, "random" number generator...

"I can fix this if I have the parts, and if those creatures do not eat me. Alas, I do not know if I can appear unappetizing. M. BRN3R, where is the storage room with the parts?" I hope it's not on the floor where started.
Male Elder GM

"Maintenance storage is on this level."

Haer Kul:
That is actually enough for Haer Kul to recall reading about alien creatures known as Akata, who are able to create cocoons of fibrous metal to protect themselves as they travel through space on meteorites. He vaguely recalls something about them carrying disease...

As Haer Kul discusses the situation with BR-N3R, the "lions" approach the barrier, and pass through it!

Haer Kul initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Morgrom initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
Bardos initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
Thorthal initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Petronicus initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Slick initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Slick vanishes.

GM:
That is a swift action, then he draws his katana while moving to AQ 28.
Male Elder GM

Slick:
Slick has heard of alien creatures known as Akata, who are able to create cocoons of fibrous metal to protect themselves as they travel through space on meteorites. He vaguely recalls something about them carrying disease...

The lions seem to have passed through the barrier without difficulty, but their passage leaves no holes.

Haer Kul's dizziness and headache cause him to be the equivalent of Shaken.

Petronicus has xenobiologist. He will openly share his knowledge at his first opportunity.

Know Dungeon: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

“Hmm I think I have read about these...”
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

"I too have read about these, but this infernal headache makes it hard for the little grey cells to function. I have read about creatures known as Akata. They can create cocoons of fibrous metal to protect themselves as they travel through space on meteorites. I vaguely recall something about them carrying disease.."

Haer Kul will move to AT35. "Perhaps I will wait to attempt repairs."
Male Elder GM

Petronicus:
Petronicus recalls reading about alien creatures known as Akata, who are able to create cocoons of fibrous metal to protect themselves as they travel through space on meteorites. He also knows that their bites transmit larva which act as a disease on the victim, draining their stamina and mobility. Should the victim die from this, they rise as zombies! Petronicus may share on his turn.

Morgrom strides into the room, drawing his greatsword, then stands ready for the advance of the alien creatures.

Andretta uses the shielding warpriest as an opportunity to close in, then casts a spell.
Akata E Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Akata W Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

One of the Akatas slumps to the ground, while the other advances into the room.

This provokes a sneak attack from Slick, if he wants it. Then it triggers Morgrom's readied greatsword attack.

Note that the area of Andretta's sleep spell would've included Slick, but the spell affects lower HD first.
Male Elf Ninja Lvl:3; hp:30/25; Ki: 1/3; AC:18 (T:13, FF:15); F:+3, R:+8, W:+1; Init:+5, low-light, Perception:+7

Slick appears, attacking the passing Akata holding his katana in both hands.

Two-handed-invisible-ninja-sneak-attack-of-opportunity!: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 2 = 211d8 + 3 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + 3 + (1, 2) = 11
Male Elder GM

Slick appears to the south of the slumbering akata, after opening a great gash in the other one's flank.
Male Elder GM

Morgrom slashes at the approaching akata.
Hack!!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 172d6 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 = 10
His sword cleaves through the creature, and it falls in a heap.

Staying in initiative, due to sleep spell. Yeah, that's it.

Petronicus:
Petronicus recalls some zombies on the previous level.
Human Male Wizard Lvl:3 HP:19/19 AC:11/11/10 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+1 Perception:+10

“Their bite transmits larva, which turns you into a zombie! Don’t get close!”

Petronicus cast Mage Armour on himself and moves next to the Wyrd.
Human Male Wizard Lvl:3 HP:19/19 AC:11/11/10 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+1 Perception:+10

“I guess we know where the zombies came from.”
Male Elder GM

With no immediate threats, Thorthal slips back to act as a rearguard.
BR-N3R scuttles away to a more sheltered spot.

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (16) - 1 = 15
Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0
Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

Slick carefully executes the sleeping Akata.

Double-handed-Katana-Ninja-Coup-de-Grace!: 2d8 + 6 + 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) + 6 + (6, 3) = 20

Slick kills the helpless creature.

Huh. You know what? Let's just stay in initiative, in case anybody notices anything where order is important.

Male Elf Ninja Lvl:3; hp:30/25; Ki: 1/3; AC:18 (T:13, FF:15); F:+3, R:+8, W:+1; Init:+5, low-light, Perception:+7

Slick patiently waits for Andretta to translate Haer Kul’s gibberish.
Male Elder GM

Andretta looks at Slick and shrugs.

She then listens and says, "I believe Petronicus' exclamation may have attracted more attention."

Punctuation matters.

What Haer Kul should have done if he had been listening instead of talking in an outRAGEous accent...:
Haer Kul gestures, and four torch lights appear in front of the door at the other end of the passage. They slowly move towards the party bouncing as if being carried by invisible humans. They stop 15' from Morgrom, and then hurry away back towards the door. ( dancing lights ) Haer Kul moves back beside B3-N3R.
(I had this all typed in, then realized I had already gone.)
