Rushing inside, Nibbles stops short as he takes in the view. A smile slowly creeps across his mouth...stretching until it reaches from ear to ear. "Now this is a lab! I could easily spend a week in a place like this...You guys don't think there's any other pressing matters for us to attend to do you?"
His eyes falling on the bodies, the rodent's smile vanishes in an instance. "Well now...that's a bit unfortunate."
Cautiously making his way towards the mess, he inspects the pile. "They are most certainly dead."

The debris from the dragon's tail strike showers down on Dawa. He hurries through the mist and through the burst door. Once inside, he pauses and says, "Hold still everyone."
He releases a wave of healing energy through his companions.
Channel Positive:1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
That will nullify the damage from the dragon, at least.
John moves up with Nibbles to check the bodies. He looks down at his furry ally, "are you sure? I never took one of those fancy first aid courses, so maybe they are just sleeping deeply?"

Valtyra slips through the mist trying her best to avoid the falling debris. Unfortunately she is not deft enough to avoid the chunks of debris as they slam into her. "Ow!"
Thank the Gods for Englebert. That man's strength truly has been a boon for us. Valtyra follows the group into the lodge and through to the pile of bodies.
"Well there is something one doesn't see on a regular basis. Who would be stacking bodies at a time like this?"
Not seeing a map that fits whats going on - so if there is one I'm missing, I'm sorry
Stepping back away from the foes, the doctor quickly downs one of his medicinal concoctions. "Watch out! Them bugs can be dangerous. Engelbert, wanna handle the goblins again?"
Suddenly, the ratfolk's stomach begins to glow red as puffs of smoke spiral out of his mouth.

"Oh my! This could be a bit of an issue." Valtyra points a finger in the direction of the only goblin [[oc](#3)[/ooc] she can see. "Glaciei particulis." A blast of icy particles flies from her pointed finger towards the goblin.
John's eyes grow wide at the insects and he frantically rifles through his pack, pulling out a small glass flask full of a clear liquid he glances at the label that reads, "in case of slimes or insects, throw and run away!"
He looks at his allies next to him and Nibbles out in the open, "um... I probably won't run away, but I can throw it!"
Draw Alkali flask and throw it at the red swarm picking the swarm part in square (yellow x) to target.

If Engelbert will permit this AOE damage on himself (I'll fix it later):

Idril grabs his the hold of Ankat with both hands as the goblins spring their ambush. Seeing the swarms closing around him, as well as his fellow agents, he realizes he is trapped. Trusting his companions' ability to neutralize the swarming insects, he unleashes a frosty beam at the one of the attacking goblins.
Okay, so this is hilarious. The goblins have 6 hp and all failed. The swarms have 9 hp, but they take an extra 50% damage from AOE effects, and they also both failed. Dawa just ended the entire combat.
When you're ready to move on, you have two doors to the north to choose from.
Turning quickly towards the nearest swarm, Nibbles prepares to expel a mouthful of flame. Opening his mouth, smoke curls out but...the beetles lay motionless on the ground. Closing it quickly, he turns to the other and....
"Well...that was quite handy. Well done Dawa! Shall we hustle onward then? I feel a bit warm..."
So I have 5 Fire Resistance for 5 minutes still. :-P

"Apologies for the pain, Engelbert," Dawa says to the ifrit. "Yamatsumi's power can only be restrained so far, and I believed of everyone, you were best equipped to stand in its force."
He draws out a wand to restore the skald's life force.

"It is as it must be. Lets get moving. After all there is still a very large dragon out there that I would much prefer not to have to tangle with." Valtyra gestures to Englebert to lead the way.
John pulls out a wand and moves over to the ratfolk, "seriously sorry about that throw, I've never been known for my aim but usually my misses have less consequences. Here, let me get that."
You open the door to the Slabs! This huge chamber is entirely tiled with plain gray flagstones. It’s uncannily cold, and only a trickle of light slips through a trio of tiny windows, one set into each adjoining wall, just below the eaves. The room is lined and partitioned with rows of massive stone cubicles. The cubicles stand twice the height of a grown human. Each cubical has an iron door with a brass plate on it. The plates are labeled and numbered with a black wax pencil.
As you enter, a ghostly figure appears! You can make out the shape of the cabinets behind its shadowy form.
John a bit freaked out by a creature he's never seen the likes of before, attempts to avoid it and moves to get some range, "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?!? GOBLINS I GET, EVEN DRAGONS IN THEORY, BUT THAT... NO CLUE! HOW DO WE EVEN FIGHT IT?"

"A ghost! I will do what I can," Dawa says as he takes a cautious step away from the ghost. He grips his iron holy symbol and releases a wave of vital energy.

"Ghost?!" Valtyra involuntary shudders at the mention of such a creature. She then sends her most powerful spell at the ghost in response to her own deep seeded fears. With a pointed finger and the words "Sagitta magicae." two arrows of pure force zip across the room to strike the ghost.

Idril takes a step back, the creature before him, as well as the reactions of his fellow pathfinders, gives him pause. The magus steels himself and points his finer at the creature, letting forth a line of positive energy.
The wraith avoids some of the damage from Nibbles and Dawa, but can't quite hit John on the AoO. Valtyra hits with a pair of magic missiles but Idril can't quite connect with the disruption.
Incorporeal Details and how to hurt them. Then, assuming he knows that stuff, John does the following.
Pulling a scroll from the carefully organized box at his side, he intones a few words and the magic script peels off the paper wrapping onto his longspear. He steps forward and holds the pointy end towards the Wraith.
Move to draw Scroll of Magic Weapon, Standard to Cast, 5-ft step, Wraith is now flanked by John and Englebert.

Dawa releases another wave of life energy across the room. "Creature of darkness, flee from the generative power of Yamatsumi!"
An incorporeal creature has no physical body. It can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons or creatures that strike as magic weapons, and spells, spell-like abilities, or supernatural abilities. It is immune to all nonmagical attack forms. Even when hit by spells or magic weapons, it takes only half damage from a corporeal source (except for channel energy). Although it is not a magical attack, holy water can affect incorporeal undead. Corporeal spells and effects that do not cause damage only have a 50% chance of affecting an incorporeal creature. Force spells and effects, such as from a magic missile, affect an incorporeal creature normally.
It is also undead!
Undead:
Immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, and phantasms). Immunity to bleed, death effects, disease, paralysis, poison, sleep effects, and stunning. Not subject to nonlethal damage, ability drain, or energy drain. Immune to damage to its physical ability scores (Constitution, Dexterity, and Strength), as well as to exhaustion and fatigue effects. Cannot heal damage on its own if it has no Intelligence score, although it can be healed. Negative energy (such as an inflict spell) can heal undead creatures. The fast healing special quality works regardless of the creature’s Intelligence score. Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless).
In addition to those general characteristics, it also has channel resistance. No DR, SR, or specific immunities.
Reflex save vs Nibbles:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
Will save vs Nibbles:1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28
It takes one point of damage from Nibbles and 2 from Dawa.

"We need a more expedient way of dealing with this ghost!" Dawa warns.

"Yes we do. it is to bad we don't seem to have one." Valtyra pauses for just a heartbeat or two before uttering the words "Sagitta magicae." and pointing a finger at the wraith. Two arrows of pure force strike the creature with unerring precision.

Idril nods at Dawa and fires off another positive enrgey spell at the creature, preparing to unleash a more forceful attack after the cleric begins his prayer. He is unable to get a bead as the wraith dances with some of his fellow agents.

Dawa grips his iron holy symbol and begins to chant in a divine tongue. He directs the power toward the wraith. "Now, now is the time to strike it," Dawa says.

Idril feels the power of Dawa's prayer course through him. A wicked grin crosses his face and he nods to his blade. The half elf turns to the ghost, he takes a cautious step forward then calls on his arcane power, channelling magical energy into Anker, causing the black blade to glow and crackle with light.
Idril take a 5 foot step toward the ghost, a swift action to power his blade again with arcane pool (3/5 remains) and a full round action to engage in spell combat using spell strike to cast shocking grasp as part of the attack. Idril casts the spell defensively.
Idrial likely misses with spellstrike attack. I believe he can hold the charge from the shocking grasp spell. Not sure if he could release the spell with the second strike. I will roll that damage just in case he is allowed to do that.
Plunging his arm up to the elbow into his mouth, Dr Nibbles feels around within his cheeks. A few moments later, a soggy vial comes forth grasp in his hands. "Thought I had some. You said holy water, right?"
Stepping around the beast with careful precision, he pops open the vial. "Hmm...normally I'd throw this but..."
Reaching up, the rodent begins to pour the fluid over their opponent.
